Paying for spray?

Park is still free for Collierville folks, but costs others

By John Stamm Special to The Commercial Appeal

M

ilena Salamida beamed as she entered the gate to Collierville’s Johnson Spray Park and saw only two children playing.

“This is awesome,” said the Collierville mother. “Last summer it was so packed, we never came back.”

Samantha Swann of Collierville was glad to return with her son, 6.

She had stopped coming, instead going to the Children’s Museum of

Memphis spray park, after seeing “too many kids not with anybody.”

Thanks to a new regulation, residents are giving the spray park another try. Starting July 1, a pass is required for admittance to the 15-year-old park. Nonresidents must pay $10 per child for a oneday pass.

Residents need a season pass, which is free with proof of residency and good for any family member. Both resident and nonresident passes must be picked up Monday through Friday at the Collierville Parks Administration oice, 440 W. Powell.

“We think it’s been going excellent; our citizens are very pleased,” said Chip Petersen, director of Parks, Recreation, Cultural Arts

and Community Services. “I know the people who live outside of Collierville don’t like me worth a damn, but I’m sorry.”

Still available to anyone at no charge is the town’s smaller spray pad at Suggs Park. The changes are in response to long-running complaints about crowding and lack of control at Johnson as children from outside Collierville, often coming in large groups, were causing an overlow. Older children, some teenagers, were unruly at times.

The town spent about $12,000 last month to erect a black metal fence around the area. Four attendants were hired at a cost of about $11,000 to check the passes and See PARK, 2

Jake Bousson, a member of Troop 65 Chickasaw Council in Collierville for six years, has diligently worked to earn 21 merit badges through involvement with the Boy Scouts of America.

Soon, the 17-year old Collierville resident will complete requirements for the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting.

For his Eagle Scout project, Bousson chose

an idea that involved his love of history. Bousson coordinated interviews and video recordings with World War II veterans for the Morton Museum’s Veteran History Project.

In February he began his project. The debut screening of the recordings will be shown at a reception Aug. 4, from 5-6:30 p.m., at the Morton Museum. The reception is free to the public and the veterans will be in attendance to enjoy the irst preview.

The visual-oral history project of local veterans’ concept was proposed by Morton Museum staf in a grant application to the

Same-sex couples celebrate court’s ruling Neshoba Unitarian Church hosts event

By Katie Fretland fretland@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2785

With roses, cake and a Champagne toast, about 70 people gathered Saturday afternoon for a mass wedding reception for same-sex couples in celebration of the U.S. Supreme Court’s de-

cision last month for marriage equality nationwide.

The reception was held at Neshoba Unitarian Universalist Church in Cordova.

Danny Caruthers Woods was present with his husband, John Woods Caruthers.

They married May 4, 2013, in Memphis and had another wedding this month following the Supreme Court decision.

Danny Caruthers Woods is 59 and retired from FedEx and

John Woods Caruthers is 54 and a general manager at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.

“It was joy,” John Woods Caruthers said of their wedding.

“It was great until I said I wasn’t going to cry,” Danny Caruthers Woods added.

“And he cried, and he cried,” John Woods Caruthers said.

At the celebration Saturday, they sat with Reggie GoingsBowens, 46, who works in corporate security, and his hus-

band, Willie Bowens-Goings, 49, a property manager. They wore matching shirts printed in a rainbow design with the date of the court’s decision — June 26, 2015 — and the words “the day that love won.”

The reception celebrated same-sex couples who married recently in Tennessee, plan to marry or whose marriages are now recognized in their home states following the court’s ruling.

“We are so, so pleased that you are all here with us today to celebrate this really, really great occasion,” said Rev. Beth Lefever.

Chrysti Hogan, 50, a teacher, organized the event. She and her wife, Jeanne Ortmann, were married Nov. 10, 2012, in Davenport, Iowa.

She said the Cordova church has “always been supportive of LGBT issues in general and marriage equality.”

Collierville shoe store planned

Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse will open its irst Memphis-area store, at Carriage Crossing in Collierville later this year.

The discount chain, which opened in Nashville in 1989, said it ofers more than 30,000 pairs of women’s, men’s and children’s shoes.

Kirk Liht, the chain’s real estate director, cited Collierville’s growth, income and demographics among the reasons for choosing the site.

By Patrick Lantrip patrick.lantrip@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2303

H&M will open its irst location in the Memphis area on Aug. 13 at noon.

The 19,000-square-foot store at Carriage Crossing in Collierville will be the Swedish international clothing retailer’s third in Tennessee.

H&M also plans to open a 26,000-square-foot store in the Tanger Outlets in Southaven next spring.

The retailer, known for its trendy clothes at low prices, operates in 59 markets worldwide.

AROUND MEMPHIS

The University of Memphis is moving ahead with a series of multimillion-dollar projects to unify its main campus, including a pedestrian bridge over the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.

U of M plans to build a $62 million recreation center and connect the main campus to it by erecting a walkway over the tracks that divide the campus.

“We’re trying to make it a resort-like feel,” said Steve Whistler, assistant director of U of M’s Campus Recreation Intramural Services. “We think it’s going to help bring students here and keep them here.”

For the project, the university would close Echles Street between Spottswood and Southern avenues and build the bridge near where Echles now runs. An application for the street closure has been iled with the Land Use Control Board.

“As the University of Memphis endeavors to create a uniied campus for its students, the continuity of property continues to be a University master plan goal,” U of M’s application says. “The closure of Echles Street will allow for a contiguous campus route via the bridge between the main campus and the campus south of Southern Avenue.”

Construction on the studentfunded recreation center is slated to begin in September 2016 and wrap up in May 2018. The new state-of-the-art complex will completely overhaul the look of the southern portion of the campus and will include a ive-court basketball wing, four racquetball courts, swimming pools, a multilevel itness center with a climbing wall and a one-third-mile sus-

pended indoor track that will be tied with Auburn as the longest indoor track in the U.S. “This is really going to be an incredible facility, and it’s going to be something that is unique to this area,” Whistler said. “The irst place that it was done was at Auburn, they’ve been open for about a year now. We’re not trying to just duplicate what they are doing, but we certainly wanted to get out on the cutting edge of what’s happening in recreation at university campuses.”

Outside, the complex will feature a multiuse artiicial-turf ield, a multiuse grass ield, two basketball courts, two volleyball courts, six tennis courts and a leisure pool.

The complex will take up the entire block that is now occupied by the current recreation center, the Larry O. Finch Center where the U of M basketball team practices, and a parking lot. The plans call for a new parking lot, and a

possible parking garage, located opposite the complex where tennis courts and a printing services building currently sit.

The university recently iled for a $1.6 million building permit that reveals plans to move the basketball practice facility to U of M’s Park Avenue Campus.

The bridge and garage are not a part of the recreation center plans, all three are expected to interact and possibly join at a shared plaza.

“Actually, the funding for the land bridge was approved at the same time as our funding,” Whistler said. “So it’s still a studentfee-supported project. It’s just a separate project, so the architects working on ours are not working on the land bridge.”

It’s not clear when the bridge would be built. Tony Poteet, U of M assistant vice president for campus planning, did not respond to requests for comments concerning the progress of the project.

Police have identiied the victim in the July 24 shooting at a southeast Memphis itness center as Vicdarrius Pollard.

The 18-year-old was shot and died at the scene after a lone male suspect walked into LA Fitness near Winchester and Highway 385 at 5:24 p.m.

July 24 and ired at the victim. The shooter led on foot and remains at large.

Witnesses gathered at the scene July 24 who identiied themselves as relatives of the victim. They said he was a Kirby High graduate and a ight over a basketball game at the center had preceded the argument.

SCOUT from 1 contact us and he has been an excellent resource and leader of the project,” Carver said. “I’m glad I picked the veterans project to complete my Eagle rank,” Bousson said. “I enjoy history and really enjoyed hearing their experiences.”

The three-stage endeavor included locating, scheduling and recording the veterans comments, setting up a reception for

Collierville residents and oicials to preview the movie and develop and design a “Veteran Voices” brochure for distribution to area schools.

“I’m really proud of this work and proud to be part of securing a recorded history of these great men that served and protected our nation,” Bousson concluded.

The Library of Congress Veteran History Project was set up by the U.S. Congress in 2000 to collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts

of American war veterans.

The Morton Museum will send the Collierville veterans’ history to the Library of Congress.

PARK from 1 enforce rules.

“It’s going much better than we expected,” said attendant Chelsea Rial.

Petersen said “well over” 1,000 passes have been issued to residents, and as of July 21 nonresidents had bought 30 tickets. Rial estimated the new regulations have resulted in 60 to 70 percent fewer children at the park.

Attendant Jean Ployhar remembered working July

5, the irst Sunday after the new regulations started.

Rial called it a “diicult” day. Some nonresidents had come in June when there was no fee and now couldn’t buy a pass because the oice was closed.

“I had counted 100 coming into the park and I probably sent away 160 to 200 people,” said Ployhar.

Recently, Salamida was enjoying watching her children at last getting to play freely among the spray stations. “I love that Collierville residents can now enjoy this,” she said.

During the summer break, Briarcrest students traveled to Ecuador for a mission trip.

BRIARCREST

High school students travel to Ecuador for mission work

By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

A group of nine Briarcrest high school students and four chaperones journeyed to Ecuador in June.

The Briarcrest groups lew into Quito, Ecuador’s capital city, and marveled as they traveled through the Andes Mountains to the jungle-river town of Misahualli where they were to stay for the week.

Students and adults alike wondered at the incredible vistas.

Along the way, the group was treated to an after-hours private tour of Nate Saint’s home. Seeing the home which had been a gathering place for missionaries in the 1950s and the airstrip Nate Saint used to make contact with remote, unconverted tribes, the team felt humbled by

the sacriices of the martyred missionaries and their faithful families and privileged to be able to help the missionaries who continue to serve in Ecuador.

Once in Misahualli, the team began their routine of nightly devotions and games, then led Sunday morning worship with missionaries from Jungle Kids for Christ. Sunday also included a canoe trip and picnic lunch, as well as sightseeing. The local monkeys provided a popular diversion, though the group kept a respectful distance from the quick-handed, furry thieves.

The real work began on Monday with a student-led breakfast devotion, followed by a trip to Antioch School. Each day, the team ministered to a diferent class of elementary school students, conducting a one-

day vacation Bible school.

The group incorporated music, games, crafts, puppets and even a science experiment to share the story of the Good Shepherd whose love is unconditional and transformative. The children clearly enjoyed the many activities and were touched by the message, though perhaps the team members themselves were the most transformed by the precious students they were able to play and talk with each day.

Through all the worship, the fun, and the labor, the trip was rich with opportunities for team members to connect with each other, with the children and the missionaries at Antioch school, and with Christ.

Beth Rooks is the director of communications for Briarcrest.

Town uses newest tech to serve citizens Tablets allow workers to access records remotely Special to The Weekly

T

he surf’s up as the Town of Collierville rides a new wave of technology across multiple departments. In the past ive years, devices such as police radios, iPads and updated software have replaced many of the aging tools in place. An updated, town-wide phone system went live last week. The previos system had been in use for 13 years.

The development department has made tremendous strides in integrating software in various divisions including building, codes and GIS. Thanks to the software module and iPads, code enforcement oicers can now access case records, forms and notices while out in the ield instead of having to wait until they returned to the oice.

Starting in 2016, the codes department will launch new permit software that will allow building inspections to be logged electronically. There will be a citizen portal where customers can track their permit status as well as request an inspection.

In addition to building the interactive map gallery, the GIS division has partnered with other departments to address speciic mapping needs. Working with dispatch in the Collierville Police Department, GIS is creating a more advanced system to provide more eicient emergency services.

The program includes mobile computing and records management capabilities, storage for photographs, video and audio as use for documentation, as well as prosecution.

Crew leaders have the ability to update projects in real time providing before and after photos, weather data, satellite imagery, subdivision and construction drawings and a multitude of applications that allow more eicient documentation.

BBQ IN JULY C’ville Chamber hosts summer gathering

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

O

n July 23 the Collierville Chamber of Commerce hosted its first July BBQ event at the Quonset Hut. The venue’s handy location near the Collierville Town Square gave attendees the opportunity to walk over and enjoy one of the final Sunset on the Square concerts that run June and July.

“Traditionally the Collierville Chamber hosts a monthly luncheon at Ridgeway Country Club,” explained Kanette Keough-Rodgers, president and CEO of the Collierville Chamber of Commerce. “We bring in a speaker and they are often quite educational. The exception to that is the month of July so we thought of having this event. This is more casual and gives our members a chance to get together and the spouses were welcome to join in.”

The Collierville Chamber of Commerce helps promote businesses and business’ interest in their particular community.

“One significant change in business structure that has taken place over the past few years is there are many home based businesses and it is important that we provide services and educational programs for them,” Keogh-Rogers said.

As the crowd began to swell on the Square to listen to some live music, the 120 people who gathered at the Quonset Hut slowly diminished.

The final Sunset on the Square concert will be Thursday at 7 p.m. The featured performer will be Josh Threldkeld.

Business ARAMARK

Shelby County questions prison food provider

By Linda A. Moore lmoore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2702

After learning that the state of Michigan ended its $145 million contract with Aramark Correctional Services, County Commissioner Terry Roland wants a report on Wednesday on how things are progressing now that the company has taken over food services at the Shelby County Correctional Center.

In March, the commission approved a $3.65 million contract with Aramark in a 7-5 vote. The agreement also required the company to hire Terry Roland up to 25 of the 31 county employees who worked in the Correctional Center kitchens.

Last week, Roland, who voted against the contract, asked county oicials to meet with the commission to discuss Aramark and the fate of those 31 employees.

Roland says he’s also curious about the claims in Michigan, where the state and the company mutually agreed to terminate their agreement and where company workers are accused of feeding inmates cake that had been partially eaten by rodents and where food with maggots was found in prep areas.

“I’m going to ask them where they stand on this,” Roland said.

He said he’s also heard there are complaints about the quality of food being served at the correctional center.

“I want to get to the bottom of these complaints before they get any worse,” Roland said. “I want to be proactive rather than

reactive.”

Before voting against outsourcing with Aramark, Commissioner Reginald Milton visited the county jail, where the company has had the food service contract since 2003, and ate the food.

“I wanted to eat not the food in the commissary, but food actually being consumed by those being held in the jail,” Milton said. “And I sat down and I ate that meal. It was palatable.”

But he was worried that the meals that might suice for a few days in jail wouldn’t have a high enough caloric intake for inmates being held for months or years.

He’s concerned about the allegations made in Michigan because the county has a responsibility to the inmates, he said.

“They’re being punished, but they deserve to be treated like the human beings that they are,” he said.

County oicials say they’re prepared on Wednesday to report on Aramark’s irst 21 days.

Only three employees went to work for Aramark, including two who retired from the county.

The remainder were, as promised, used to ill vacant positions with the county, said Harvey Kennedy, county chief administrative oicer.

Kennedy, who headed Mayor Mark Luttrell’s staf when Luttrell was sherif in 2003 and contracted with the company to feed the jail, wouldn’t speculate on what’s happened in Michigan.

“You run into this all the time,” he said. “Every national company has had some operation somewhere that went south on them.”

FedEx announced last week that it has placed an order for 50 additional fuel- and cost-saving wide-body 767 planes.

FEDEX CORP

FedEx Express buying 50 jets Part of deal to modernize fleet

By Wayne Risher risher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2874

FedEx’s big bet on Boeing 767s last week signals a long-term strategy to rely on three longhaul aircraft models, in a bid to streamline its leet and lower costs, analysts said.

With 50 new orders to go with 56 existing orders and 50 options, FedEx solidiied the fuel- and cost-saving wide-body 767 as the next workhorse of its FedEx Express network.

The order, announced July 21, ended weeks of speculation that FedEx and Boeing were hammering out a deal.

Analysts put the list price at nearly $10 billion, but believed the company got a deep dis-

FEDEX CORP.’S AIR ARM Aircraft: 647 Employees worldwide: 165,000 Jet fuel bought last year: 1.1 billion gallons Packages hauled: 4 million daily Nations served: 220 Airports used: 375 Ground vehicles: 47,500 Source: FedEx Corp.

count. It’s FedEx’s biggest order ever for large aircraft and Boeing’s largest order for 767s.

The 767 delivers 30 percent better fuel eiciency and 20 percent lower unit operating costs than the MD10. That translates into millions in annual savings per plane. Analyst Helane Becker of Cowen & Co. pegs the savings at $8 million a plane compared to the MD10.

Art Hatield, Memphis-based analyst with Raymond James inancial services, said the order’s size was initially surprising, but it makes sense considering how many older, less-eicient aircraft need to be replaced eventually.

He said the size of the order indicates FedEx is sold on the 767 to replace not only MD10s, but other aircraft as well.

“Excluding their very small aircraft that they use for smaller markets, it’s going to take them to a three-aircraft leet over time” (767s, 777s and 757s), Hatield said. “There’s a lot of eiciencies in that when you have a lot of similar aircraft in the leet,” he said. Savings include maintenance- and crew-related expenses.

The irst batch of 767s has been key in helping the company push toward a goal of improving Express proits by $1.6 billion a year by next June.

In the News GOVERNMENT

Renovations planned for Criminal Justice Center

By Linda A. Moore lmoore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2702

There’s a space at the front of the general sessions courtrooms at the Shelby County Criminal Justice Center — 201 Poplar, to many people — that’s used as a waiting area for prisoners.

Originally, according to Criminal Court Judge Bobby Carter, that space was intended to be for jurors.

But there are no juries in general sessions, Carter said.

“I’m sure no one took that into consideration,” he said, referring to the time when the building was designed and built.

Now, the CJC at 201 Poplar Ave., a building once crowned “the glamour slammer,” is slated for a top-to-bottom makeover in a project that this time will include input from its daily users.

Shelby County government has entered into a $426,000 contract with architects Evans Taylor Foster Childress to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the CJC and provide prioritized recommendations for the renovations.

“That’s our irst step, to obtain full schematics of the entire building, and with those schematics we can identify cost,” said Tom Needham, county director of public works.

The complex opened in 1981 at a cost of more than $40 million, including some city of Memphis funds. It houses city and county courtrooms, the district attorney general’s oice, sherif oices, the Memphis Police Department, the 911 center and other entities. The jail is attached in a separate building.

“I remember waiting patiently to see what it was going to be like. It was pretty amazing in its day,” said Carter, who worked in the public defender’s oice and as an assistant district attorney general.

The renovation is budgeted at $16.3 million, Needham said, but the plans from Evans Taylor will help give the county a better idea

MIKE BROWN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Attorneys (from left) Josie Holland, Paul Prather and Eugene Belenitsky talk July 15 on the lower level of the Criminal Justice Center while making themselves available to walk-up clients from the surrounding courtrooms.

of the cost.

“Of course that’s what we’ll try to stay within, but if the need exceeds that budget, overall funding rests with the County Commission,” Needham said.

The schematics will also ensure that the county doesn’t start a project it can’t aford to inish, he said.

Needham speculates that the renovations will take about ive years, once construction begins.

“I think we’d be tickled to death to inish the thing in ive years. I don’t think it’s going to be anywhere near that,” said Mike Childress, a principal with Evans Taylor.

The facility was designed by Mahan & Shappley, a predecessor of today’s Evans Taylor.

“Since then, there have been lots of changes and not any complete documentation of what those changes were,” Childress said.

“First, we’ll take the original

drawings and go through the building to see what’s changed.

I would imagine there have been a lot of changes done over the years — a little bit here, a little bit there.”

Once the architectural plans are updated, architects will interview the current occupants to learn what they need and how the building can work better for them.

“That’s what we do, that’s part of the process of programming, is iguring out what people want,” Childress said.

Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich has detailed the lack of space for prosecutors and how her attorneys are scattered in several county buildings near the CJC. While she’d like space for them, a priority is the need for a dedicated place for witnesses, victims and victims’ families to wait before hearings and trials.

Now, it’s not uncommon for them to wait in a hallway with

Low Cost Aggregate • Need a low cost stone for unimproved roadways or driveways??

the suspects and their families.

“One space that we can put victims and witnesses in and allow them to wait for their hearing, allow them to be talked to by a prosecutor with some privacy,” Weirich said.

Also, she said victims of domestic violence have no place to wait away from their abuser while waiting for an order of protection.

“The Davidson County courthouse has a beautiful victim/ witness space,” Weirich said.

“I think the victims in Shelby County deserve the same.”

Judges mostly need current technology, Carter said.

“We have difficulties with sound systems, recording systems, even being able to keep up with cameras and computers in courtrooms,” he said. “That kind of thing lags behind.”

They’ve gotten by with projectors and pull-down screens, but ideally, Carter would like to

see individual monitors for jurors and judges.

“Really, it’s not the fault of the building. Those things didn’t exist when we built the building,” he said. “I tried a case and the people’s home security system had a better camera than we had in court. I was fairly impressed with it.”

And he’d like to see a better setup for the news media, instead of cameras being cramped in the back of the courtroom.

“We won’t hesitate to ask for some things and then understand that they’ll try to make the best of the funds allotted to do as much as they can,” Carter said.

Once work begins at 201, it won’t be easy.

The county recently completed a total renovation of the Vasco A. Smith Jr. Administration Building at 160 N. Main, a project that took about four years and cost more than $20 million.

But the administration building had a limited number of daily visitors, while 201 can have 200 people a day visiting a single courtroom, Carter said.

The Memphis Police Department is expected to move out of the CJC and into the former Donnelley J. Hill State Oice building at 170 N. Main.

That move would free up two loors, allowing courts and other oices to move to temporary quarters while their loor is being renovated, Needham said.

And unlike the administration building, where some utilities were in the loor and others in the ceiling, impacting three loors at a time, the CJC’s are on the same loor, meaning work can be isolated one loor at a time, Childress said.

“It’s going to be a chess game to try to igure out what the next move is and a sequence of how to start and where to start.”

Said Needham: “It’s going to be a challenging project in order to carry out the county’s business and the city’s needs while getting the building viable for another 30 years.”

A squall rolls in from the Gulf of St. Lawrence along the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia. In the foreground is the outline of the Cabot Trail highway that hugs the coast in that region of Canada.

No crowds, stunning

NGONISH BEACH, Nova Scotia — Rounding a curve on the Cabot Trail, you see it: an elongated pile of granite jutting toward the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s called Middle Head, and it’s part of Cape Breton Highlands National Park on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island. The views from here are stunning, whether a sandy beach below or brooding Mount Smokey above. At Middle Head’s entrance is the 75-year-old Keltic Resort, which can serve as a well-appointed base camp for exploring the 370-square-mile national park and the Cabot Trail, a ring road.

Reminiscent of Ireland’s formidable Ring of Kerry, Cabot Trail’s 185-mile route clings to clifs, plunges into deep native forests and connects small coastal communities whose heritage comes from French, Scot, Irish and British settlers, as well as the Mi’kmaq, the region’s indigenous people. Highway signs may be in French or Gaelic, as well as English.

Navigating sharp bends and steep descents, motorists can stop at numerous “look-ofs” that may be safer than gawking through the windshield. Birds are abundant, marine life can be observed during ofshore tours, and a moose or two may materialize.

One diference between the Ring of Kerry and its Canadian counterpart is the crowds. Here, tour buses are rare and other traic is light.

Just make sure you know where gas stations are.

Middle Head once served as a seasonal home to small bands of ishermen. It was later owned by an Ohio industrialist, Henry Clay Corson, who fell in love with the region while visiting the nearby summer retreat of a famous friend, telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell.

Corson’s widow sold the property in the 1940s to be developed as part of the park.

Along the Cabot Trail, an extraordinary club sandwich is served at the unpretentious Seagull Restaurant near the Keltic Resort. It is packed with chunks of locally caught lobster, smoked bacon and summer-fresh lettuce and tomato on crusty toast. The chowder is prepared daily by the octogenar-

Hikers enjoy their walk on Middle Head Peninsula in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia, Canada. In the background is Cape Smoky near the village of Ingonish Beach, where the Keltic Resort is located.

ian owner and retired coal miner, John Dan Jobes. In his broth could be crab, scallops, salmon, mackerel, cod or halibut.

Jobes “is somewhat of a local legend,” says Jessica Young of Keltic Resort. “Whenever I go to the Seagull, I usually see him in his apron, greeting guests warmly before heading back to the kitchen.”

Up the highway is the Chowder House in Neil’s Harbor, a ishing village with stacks of lobster traps on its wharves. Chowder House’s 16 indoor picnic tables were crammed before noon on a weekday in August with oferings of lobster sandwiches, crabcakes and both clam and seafood chowder. Its mussels could have been harvested that morning from Cape North near where ex-

plorers John and Sebastian Cabot were said to have landed in 1497.

Working up an appetite is not diicult. Hiking trails for diferent skill levels are plentiful throughout the national park, including more than a half-dozen near its entrance at Ingonish Beach. One low-impact guided hike traverses the length of Middle Head through trees and patches of knapweed, elderberry and wild daisies to its tip for a 270-degree panorama of the ocean and faraway jagged shorelines.

Said to be among the world’s top cycling destinations, Cape Breton Highlands has strategically placed campgrounds for longer Cabot Trail rides and several off-pavement trails. If you are a hardy beachgoer, the late summer Atlantic surf is chilly but tolerable.

Golf at internationally ranked Highland Links adjacent to Keltic

Resort can be arduous, if you walk rather than ride in a motorized cart.

Opened in 1941, it is part of the late golf architect Stanley Thompson’s legendary Canadian portfolio, which includes Banf Springs in the western Rockies. Highland Links’ holes wind by the sea, twist through dense woodlands or border the Clyburn River. The trek from the irst tee to the 18th green is 8 miles. The miracle is how a golf course was carved out of the Cape Breton wilderness with the equipment of the 1940s.

With what’s left of the day, you could attend a “ceilidh” at a local parish hall where musicians gather to play or spend it in the Highland Sitting Room at Keltic, with ocean views, twin ireplaces and entertainers like Jimmy Sweeney, a native of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

Science DISCOVERY

Scientists find closest yet to Earth-sun twin system

By Marcia Dunn AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists have identified a “close cousin” to Earth that’s orbiting a sun-like star and might harbor life.

The researchers announced their discovery Thursday based on observations from NASA’s Kepler space telescope.

“It is the closest thing that we have to another place that somebody else might call home,” said Jon Jenkins, the lead data analyst from NASA’s Ames Research Center in California.

This older, bigger

cousin to Earth is called Kepler-452b. What makes this planet remarkable is it orbits its star at about the same distance that Earth orbits the sun. What’s more, its home star looks to be similar to our sun.

Based on what scientists know today, Jenkins added, “This is the closest thing we have to another Earth-sun twin system.”

John Grunsfeld, NASA’s science mission chief, said the exoplanet system “as far as we can tell, is a pretty good close cousin to the Earth and our sun.” The planet itself is “the closest twin, so to speak, to Earth 2.0” yet found in the Ke-

A rendering by NASA on July 23 shows a comparison between the Earth and the planet Kepler-452b. It is the first near-Earthsize planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a sun-like star.

pler data.

“This is about the closest so far,” Grunsfeld said, “and I really emphasize

the ‘so far.’”

One unanswered question is whether the planet is rocky. Scientists believe

there’s a better than even chance it is. As for age and size, the planet is about 6 billion years old, 1.5 billion years older than Earth, and 60 percent larger in diameter than our home planet.

Its star, Kepler 452, is also older and bigger, as well as brighter than our sun.

Planet 452b takes 385 days to orbit its star. It’s just a bit farther from its star than Earth is from our sun.

The planet is in a solar system that is 1,400 light years from our own, located in the Constellation Cygnus, or swan.

Planet 452b is among more than 500 new en-

tries listed in the Kepler team’s latest catalog of exoplanet candidates released Thursday. Kepler was launched in 2009 to hunt for exoplanets.

Of those 500-plus new potential planets, 12 are less than twice Earth’s diameter and also orbiting in the so-called habitable zone of their star.

Kepler 452b is the first of those 12 to be confirmed as a true planet, thanks to ground observations.

Altogether, the catalog now includes 4,661 exoplanet candidates.

Slightly more than 1,000 of them are confirmed to be planets.

By Bill Daley Tribune News Service

WHEN ORDERING OUT Whether you’re phoning the local Chinese takeout or picking up dinner at the supermarket, here are tips for getting the most meal for your money.

L

eftovers don’t have to look or taste like leftovers anymore, listlessly plopped from doggie bag to plate with possibly a quick zap in the microwave. Smartly use those leavings, whether from restaurant meals or takeout chow, to create something new and delicious.

Worried that people who eat out more often, especially fast food, are more likely to be overweight or obese, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s ChooseMyPlate.gov program suggests that one avoid oversize portions. “Take home half of your meal,” the program’s website urges.

The idea of transforming food that otherwise would go to waste into something delicious has been in the news of late. The conversation has ranged from chef Dan Barber’s transformation of his Blue Hill restaurant in New York into wastED, a pop-up focused on turning trimmings often discarded into dinner, to the book “American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (and What We Can Do About It)” by Jonathan Bloom. And there’s also the question of taste.

“Sometimes the leftovers come out better,” says Jacques Pepin, the Madison, Conn.based star chef, cookbook author and cooking show host who has turned kitchen frugality into a delicious art.

Take the recipe for rice

pudding from his newest book slated for publication in October, “Jacques Pepin Heart & Soul in the Kitchen” (Rux Martin/Houghton Miflin Harcourt, $35). It’s made with leftover Chinese restaurant rice. It’s that kind of openminded use of leftovers that can make for some eye-opening moments in the kitchen.

Here are some ideas.

FRIED CHICKEN Turn cold pieces of fast-food fried chicken into a salad. Cube chicken, and toss with mayonnaise, preferably the Japanese Kewpie brand, Sriracha sauce and fresh lime juice. Add cubes of green apple, peeled or unpeeled, and 1-inch pieces of fresh green onion.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE, KIELBASA, HOT DOGS Slice into rounds, then arrange atop a frozen pizza and bake; drop into an escarole soup, a Louisiana jambalaya, a New England-style corn chowder or a mound of sauerkraut.

GYRO MEAT

1. One delivery, two meals.

Tortilla chip chilaquiles: Chips are cooked with eggs, then flavored with whatever you like — onion, poblano, cheese and salsa.

Turn those slices into a salad, based on one from Australian chef Matt Wilkinson in his new cookbook, “Mr. Wilkinson’s Well-Dressed Salads” (Black Dog & Leventhal, $27.95). He calls for leftover roast leg of lamb, but gyro leftovers work well, too.

Mix 1 large grated carrot, torn pieces of fresh mint, parsley and cilantro leaves; a little toasted coconut; and raisins.

Toss with “a splash of good white wine vinegar and some plain yogurt,” he says. Serve the salad over the meat slices, accompanied by grilled bread.

PEPPER STEAK Slice meat thinly, reheat in a skillet or microwave, stuf into a split baguette or sandwich roll lined with lettuce.

Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs, chopped onion and Sriracha sauce.

RICE Make Pepin’s rice pudding, adapted from his upcoming book: Heat 2 cups cooked white rice and 3½ cups milk to a boil in an ovenproof

saucepan. Cover; bake at 350 degrees, 30 minutes; the rice should be very creamy. Stir in ½ cup dried cherries or cranberries, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons grated lime zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ¼ cup sugar and ½ cup sour cream. Let cool. Serve with a blueberry sauce, if you like: Heat 1 pint small blueberries and 1/3 cup sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Boil, 1-2 minutes. Cool before using.

TORTILLAS AND TORTILLA CHIPS Use soft tortillas to make quesadillas: Spoon whatever illing you have on hand — sliced cheese, leftover roast beef, pork or chicken, cooked vegetables — onto the tortillas; fold in half. Heat over medium heat until the illing is hot and the tortillas are lightly toasted on both sides (turn carefully). Other ideas: With tortilla chips, make chilaquiles: Stir 8 beaten eggs into some chopped onion and into some poblano you’ve sauteed.

Don’t stir. After eggs begin to set, stir in 2 cups of roughly

A culinary road trip in East Memphis More good food is coming to East Memphis. Look for Heritage Tavern & Kitchen to open in Regalia, where Southward closed last year. Mike Miller, who owns Patrick’s, says he’ll open Aug. 3, and he has an interesting concept.

“We’re going to divide the country in ive regions and have food from each of them,” he said.

Expect items such as lobster rolls from the North; fried chicken from the South (“The same fried chicken we serve at Patrick’s,” Miller said); alder wood-smoked salmon and Green Goddess shrimp from the West; housemade smoked carnitas tamales from the Southwest; and steak and burgers from the Midwest. From the latter region, the restaurant will also feature what Miller calls a real grinder, an Italian sandwich with homemade marinara, mozzarella cheese and either Italian sausage or meatballs, all tucked into crusty hoagie bun and cooked.

The wall between the bar and the main dining room is down, and a big horseshoe bar has been

JENNIFER BIGGS WHINING & DINING

installed. Miller says he expects a robust happyhour business, based on what he’s hearing, but he is proud of the food.

Expect lunch in the $10$12 range and dinner $18$25.

“The idea is that the food will relect a particular area,” he said. “It will remind you of that place, whether you’re from there or you remember something from vacation.”

■ Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant opened this month at 1788 Madison, next door to the Bar-B-Q Shop. Owner Ermyias Shiberou, who owns StickEm Food Truck, says he’ll be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, serving traditional Ethiopian dishes and kabobs like the ones on the food truck as appetizers.

Look for standards such as tibs (small cuts of meats

grilled and served in various ways) and wat (stew), both chicken and lamb.

“Of course, we’ll have a lot of vegetarian options, too,” he said. Further, everything, including the spongy flatbread injera, will be made in-house.

Shiberou has applied for a beer license and hopes to have it by next month.

Meanwhile, bring your own wine or beer. For more information, call 901474-7214.

SHOUT-OUTS First, congratulations to Frank and Eric Vernon at the Bar-B-Q Shop for being named the top barbecue restaurant in the country on Food Network’s “Top 5 Restaurants.” It’s good to see us at the top of the list and worth noting that Nashville was never mentioned. So there.

Let’s also put our hands together for Susan Schadt at Wild Abundance Publishing, ArtsMemphis and Wimmer Cookbooks.

Their book “Memphis: Sweet, Spicy and a Little Greasy” took home three awards at PIAS (Printing Industry of the South),

including Best of Category, Best of Division and an Award of Excellence.

It’s a beautiful book that chronicles the 2013 ArtaFactor culinary series, full of great photos, stories and recipes.

HOT TAMALES Ready for another tamale festival? Well, yeah. The Delta Tamale Festival in Greenville isn’t until Oct. 17, but it’s time for competitors to register. You can compete in “meat,” which must be pork or beef, or “other,” which can be anything from poultry to game, vegetables to sweets.

Entry fees are $50 for a 20-by-15 space and $25 for electrical hookup.

Grand prize is $750 and a trophy. To enter, contact Betty Lynn Cameron at Main Street Greenville at 662-378-3121 or blc@mainstreetgreenville.com. Visit hottamalefest.com for more information.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK Peas and beans will be coming in soon; I cooked my first lady peas last week, though I don’t think they were locally har-

When ordering Chinese food, I order extra so I can make a second meal later. Dishes that can hold a day or two in the refrigerator, such as hot-andsour soup or Sichuan-style green beans, are enjoyed later.

2. Order wisely. Foods that need to stay piping hot or super-crunchy or have to be eaten immediately, items such as fried chicken or spring rolls or samosas, tend to wilt when packed in containers. Securely packaged wet items, such as stews, curries and saucy barbecue, hold up the best in terms of lavor and texture — and they’re easy to reheat in the microwave.

3. Pizza puzzles. If pizza arrives too cool or if I’m eating it the next day out of the refrigerator, I place the pie on a baking sheet, stick it into a cold oven and set the temperature for 350 degrees. When the oven reaches 350 degrees, I take the pizza out of the oven.

It’s hot enough to eat, and the crust is crisp.

4. Mind temperatures. For maximum food safety, keep cold things cold, hot things hot, and perishable foods at room temperature no more than 2 hours.

BUTTER BEAN RISOTTO Serves 6.

INGREDIENTS

2 1 ½ 1½ ½ 6 ½ 1 1 ¼

tablespoons unsalted butter tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil cup finely chopped Vidalia onion cups Arborio rice cup white wine cups hot chicken or vegetable broth pound cooked and drained butter beans cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan cheese teaspoon salt, or to taste teaspoon white pepper, or to taste DIRECTIONS

1 Combine the butter and the oil in a medium pot and heat over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add the rice, and cook, stirring, until it’s well coated with the oil and butter and the grains turn opaque, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and stir vigorously until it evaporates, about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium, add ½ cup of the broth, and stir constantly until it’s been absorbed completely, about 30 seconds. Add another ½ cup of broth and continue stirring until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 seconds. Continue adding the broth in ½-cup increments, stirring constantly, adding more broth only when the previous addition has been absorbed by the rice. When you have only 1 cup of broth left, add it all at once and stir.

2 Add the butter beans and stir until the rice is al dente and creamy (not soupy but still a bit wet). Stir in the cheese, salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Note: If the heat is too high, the rice will absorb the liquid too quickly but will remain raw inside. The whole process should take about 18-20 minutes from start to finish.

vested. This recipe will be great with fresh butter beans or limas, and it would also work with frozen beans in the winter.

By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

A longtime reader periodically e-mails me or posts on Facebook about the dearth of local restaurants in Collierville.

Even today, just as I began writing this review, she wrote on my page: “Wish we had a decent restaurant in Collierville.” And while I can think of a handful, it’s true the town isn’t exactly teeming with good food. So, Frankie, my favorite nonagenarian reader and Facebook friend, I went to Skybox Grill and Bar for you.

Skybox opened in February, in the middle of an ice storm. Leave it to The CA’s Michael Donahue to snif out the mac and cheese egg rolls before the ink was dry on the lease; he wrote a Best Bets about the restaurant’s most popular appetizer just a few weeks after it opened.

But give me dip any day. We started dinner with the egg rolls and an order of crawish dip. The former was packed in a to-go box for my dinner companion to take home; we hardly left a bite of the latter. It was thick and creamy, spicy in a harmless way, and served with crostini, perfect food for nibbling on at the bar (not that we were at the bar, but that was only because I didn’t know there was one at the time).

The mac and cheese rolls are another matter. While I salute a signature item, I take two issues. I don’t like doughy egg roll wrappers, the kind that dimple all over when they’re fried; give me a crisp spring roll wrapper.

And if you’re going to deep fry mac and cheese, if you’re going to paint the lily, I say you might as well bread it irst. Bring out the panko and deliver a inal product that gives the crunch of a crumb-topped casserole with

Macaroni and Cheese Egg Rolls are served with sriracha or BBQ dips.

every bite.

That’s just me; others love ’em.

Skybox is divided in two rooms so distinct that I didn’t know there was a bar there until we were seated in the dining room and well into our meal.

Both rooms sport televisions on the walls and it is no doubt a lively bar during playofs. The beer is cold; the cocktails, stout.

At dinner we ordered mahi tacos, which were very good, and steak and blue cheese biscuits, an entrée that was a victim of misunderstanding. We expected biscuits with blue cheese baked in them, because when we asked if the blue cheese was in the biscuits, the server said yes. And indeed it was — melted on top of the steak. My friend expected a full cut of steak, but I liked the small strips tucked in the biscuits because more cut edges means more caramelization, which means more lavor.

Still, the tacos were the better choice. The mahi was tender and meaty, the slaw and pico de gallo provided a nice crunch and the rémoulade a sprightly lift. The lavor of tarragon, one of my favorite herbs, was subtle but present enough to take the tacos up a level for me. (Coowner John Cunningham later

told me the tarragon is in the seasoning they use on the ish.)

Corn or lour tortillas are available; I went with corn and, as often the case, they were doubled.

But these were sturdy enough that one was ine.

At lunch, we started with homemade potato chips served with blue cheese dip. The chips were great, fried crisp and sort of wonky, kettle-style. And I loved the dip, much thinner than the crawish dip with chunks of blue cheese in it and a whole lot of garlic — too much, really — though we all ate it and loved it.

The shrimp pesto pizza was good, with a very thin crust and generous toppings of chopped shrimp and pesto, along with red onion and red pepper.

The great dish, the one that would prompt me to drive to Collierville speciically for it, is the Cajun pasta. It’s full of cream but with Creole spices such as cayenne, garlic, thyme, even a touch of ilé so the cream is balanced with the heat. It was a huge serving, full of big (really, like 16-20 count) shrimp, crawish tails and thick slices of smoky andouille.

Skybox is a welcome addition to the Collierville dining scene, and there’s a lot going on there — happy hour appetizer specials, steak nights on Monday, specials most days, hot dogs and burgers and now Canale’s Grocery ham is available for sandwiches, too.

Patrons dine at Skybox Grill and Bar, located at 2140 W. Poplar Ave., in Collierville.

Mike Brown/The CoMMerCial appeal files

University of Tennessee super-fan, Roy Adams, would invite friends to gather at his home to watch college football games each season. Adams, 77, died Wednesday at St. Francis Hospital.

FAREWELL TO A FAN

Roy Adams loved college football, right to the end I was speaking to the DeSoto County Touchdown Club last March when in walked Roy Adams, looking weak.

“I’ve been in the hospital for 31 days,” he said. “I got sprung out to be here today.”

Adams had led the hospital because he wanted to be with his friends at a Touchdown Club event.

He returned to the hospital later that day.

The man loved football and people, although not necessarily in that order, and he loved them right to the end.

Adams, 77, died Wednesday morning at St. Francis Hospital, and we may never see his like again.

Said Griz GM Chris Wallace: “He was a character with a capital C.” Said Louis Katzerman, a longtime friend of Adams who was with him when he died: “This was deinitely the end of an era.”

Said Karl Schledwitz, another longtime friend and a member of the Tennessee Board of Trustees: “Where to begin?”

We could begin with Adams in the thick of the Albert Means recruiting scandal, glorying at the downfall of his longtime rival, Alabama booster Logan Young.

We could begin with Adams being deposed as part of related proceedings, showing up carrying a bottle of whiskey and wearing an orange jacket and a coonskin cap.

We could begin with Adams’ unlikely messageboard persona, TennStud, under which he posted scurrilous rumors and musings of all sorts.

We could begin before all that, way back to the beginning, and tell you how Adams grew up. The son of sharecroppers. He worked in Washington as a Senate page. Campaigned on behalf of Estes Kefauver, and against Boss Crump.

But let’s begin with a story from Schledwitz, about college football and handouts to players, because that gets to the heart of the man.

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

“In the 1980s, when I was still practicing law, Roy had gotten caught up in an NCAA investigation,” Schledwitz said.

“They were investigating him for providing illegal benefits to Tennessee football players. I wasn’t that good a lawyer, but I was good enough to know that the facts may not be on our side.

“I did a little research and, at the time, the regulations read that it was improper to give beneits to a kid at one school that were not ofered to all other kids. So I put on a defense where I could prove that Roy provided beneits to athletes of all diferent schools. I had aidavits from kids from Ole Miss, Jackson State, Northwest Community College, Mississippi State and the University of Memphis. I had aidavits from everywhere. Roy helped student athletes throughout the Southeast. The NCAA closed the ile.”

So that was Adams.

Handing out money. Because what’s the point of wealth if you don’t spread it around?

“I bet there’s been at least 10 University of Memphis football players who lived at his house, or he bought cars for,” Schledwitz said. “Lord knows, they all got TVs.” And what was Adams’ defense to this chicanery?

“I knew the NCAA rules,” he said. “I just didn’t care for them.”

The way Adams saw it, the players should share in the loot. He was going to make sure they did. So you could call Adams a scoundrel and you would not be wrong. Or you could call him ahead of his time.

“Those football factories, the players are there to generate revenue,” Ad-

ams said, way back in the last century. “If we get to where these football players can read or write, that would be an admirable goal.”

In the meantime, Adams was determined to enjoy the spectacle, especially on football Saturdays, when he threw parties at his house that would have made Jay Gatsby proud. He had 40 big-screen televisions at last count. He served an endless, bountiful spread.

“On a Saturday afternoon, there was no place in Memphis that was more diverse than his home,” said Katzerman. “There were actors, NFL players, mayors and state senators. You’d see high school football coaches, you’d see former players, you’d see neighbors and you’d see Chris Wallace. Everyone was invited, no matter your place in life.”

Robert Hicks, a neighbor, attended his share of those parties. He said Saturdays will never be the same.

“What people might not realize is that there are some elderly women on our street who can’t leave their homes,” he said. “Roy always made sure these women got a tray of food. I know people talk about his faults, but he was one of the most generous men I’ve ever met.”

Which brings me back to that last appearance at the Touchdown Club. Adams couldn’t even make it through. His kidneys were failing. He had to be helped to his car. After he had gone, one of his friends handed me an envelope.

There was $100 inside. A crisp, $100 bill. I may have been the last person on earth to get the equivalent of a $100 handshake from the man.

So today, I’m going to donate the money to the Church Health Center in his name. I igure Adams would be pleased.

U OF M FOOTBALL

QB Paxton Lynch named to watch list for Manning Award

By Tom Schad tom.schad@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2525

The preseason recognition keeps coming for University of Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch.

On Thursday, the rising junior was one of 30 quarterbacks named to the watch list for the Manning Award, which is voted upon by national media members — and Peyton, Eli and Archie Manning — at the conclusion of the season. It is the only col-

lege football quarterback award that factors in postseason performance.

This is the third national award to include Lynch on its watch list this preseason. The Deltona, Florida, native has also been named to the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award watch list and the watch list for the Maxwell Award, which is given to college football’s player of the year.

The accolades have piled up for Lynch this summer after a breakout

sophomore campaign.

He recorded 3,031 passing yards and accounted for 35 touchdowns last year, leading the Tigers to a victory in the Miami Beach Bowl and their irst 10-win season since 1938.

He has started 25 consecutive games entering the 2015 season, which begins Sept. 5 against Missouri State.

The list of 10 inalists for the Manning Award will be announced Nov. 25, and the winner will be named Jan. 13.

Former Tiger Adonis Thomas averaged 8.6 points and four rebounds for Detroit’s summer league team this month in Orlando, and he is reportedly one of five players who will be vying for two spots on the Pistons’ opening day roster this fall.

CHASING THE DREAM

Adonis Thomas may be poised to stick in NBA Other ex-Tigers shine in NBA Development League season

By Jason Smith smithjas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5804

After going undrafted in 2013 and spending the last two years in the NBA Development League, former University of Memphis swingman Adonis Thomas believes this is the year he’ll stick in the NBA. Thomas, a D-League All-Star for the Detroit Pistons-affiliated Grand Rapids Drive last season, signed a two-year partially guaranteed deal with the Pistons, his agent, Travis King, told The Commercial Appeal.

Thomas, who averaged 8.6 points and four rebounds for the Pistons’ summer league team this month in Orlando, is reportedly one of ive players who will be vying for two spots on the Pistons’ opening day roster during training camp this October.

“I just think Adonis has put in enough work to make the team. I’ve spoken with (Detroit president and coach) Stan (Van Gundy) and (general manager) Jef Bower a lot about him.

They really like him,” King said. “They really like his work ethic. He’s got every opportunity to make the team. If there are ive guys for two spots, I think this is Adonis’ year.

“He’s done the DLeague thing for two years. He’s done all he can do there. Overseas is not an option. This is his year to make the league.”

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound Thomas has dropped nearly 15 pounds this ofseason, having worked out this spring with Tigers strength and conditioning coach Evarist Akujobi. At Grand Rapids last season, he averaged 18.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and shot 36.8 percent from 3-point range. As a D-League rookie in 201314 with the Springfield Armor, Thomas averaged 16.6 points, earning NBA D-League All-Rookie First Team honors.

If he’s going to make it in the NBA, Thomas will have to continue to prove he’s athletic enough and a consistent enough shooter to play shooting guard or small forward.

“It’s been a lot more playing on the wing, being able to make plays and do a lot more isolation and posting up. Being able to play more free, whereas a lot of people saw me playing the stretch-four at Memphis and being able to have mismatch options for the team,” Thomas said.

“But this is more playing the two-guard, the three and being more involved on the perimeter.”

Here’s a look at how some other former Tigers/ Memphians performed this month in the NBA Summer League: Joe Jackson: The former Memphis guard and 2013 Conference USA Player of

RONDA CHURCHILL/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former Memphis Tigers guard Joe Jackson, playing for the D-League Select Team two weeks ago, averaged seven points, 3.6 assists and three rebounds in five Summer League games this month in Las Vegas. Jackson was the 2013 Conference USA Player of the Year while with the Tigers.

JOHN RAOUX/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Detroit Pistons’ Adonis Thomas, right, looks to shoot as he is defended by Miami Heat’s Tyler Kalinoski (25) during the first half of an NBA summer league basketball game in Orlando, Fla.

the Year averaged seven points, 3.6 assists and three rebounds in five NBA Summer League games this month with the NBA D-League Select Team.

Jackson, who was selected in the second round of the Korean Basketball League draft by Goyang Orions last week, was named the NBA D-League’s Most Improved Player as a rookie last season with the Bakersfield Jam. He also earned NBA D-League All-Defensive Second Team honors. Jackson has changed agents since leaving Memphis and is now represented by Brian Elfus, who represents former Tigers guard Will Barton. Barton recently signed a three-year, $11 million deal with the Denver Nuggets.

Tarik Black: The former U of M and Kansas power forward played well for the Los Angeles Lakers’ summer league team this month in Las Vegas, averaging 9.2 points and 7.6 rebounds. The Lakers picked up Black last December after he was waived by Houston, which had signed him to a two-year partially guaranteed deal as a rookie free agent out of Kansas.

Black averaged six points and 5.8 rebounds over 25 games with Houston and 38 games with the Lakers as a rookie last season and looks like a good bet to return to Los Angeles this season.

Geron Johnson: Johnson played with the Los Angeles Clippers’ summer league team this month and

made a good impression defensively. But he went just 1 of 19 from the ield over four games. Johnson played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers as a DLeague rookie last season, averaging 5.2 points and 1.4 assists over 33 games.

Antonio Barton: The former U of M and Tennessee guard and younger brother of Will Barton played two games with the Denver Nuggets’ summer league team, averaging 1.5 points and one rebound.

Ian Clark: The Germantown High and former Belmont standout averaged 13.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists in ive games with the Nuggets’ summer league team.

The sharpshooter shot 50 percent from 3-point range (12 of 24), which included a 10 of 13 stretch against Miami and Sacramento.

Clark was picked up by the Nuggets after he was waived by Utah in March, and has spent the majority of his irst two seasons as a pro between Utah and its D-League ailiate, the Idaho Stampede.

Bobby Parks Jr.: The son of the former Tigers standout of the same name, Parks averaged three points and 1.7 rebounds over six games with the Dallas Mavericks’ summer league team. He had 10 points and ive rebounds in 21 minutes against Jackson’s D-League Select Team. Parks, who played high school ball at St. George’s and Melrose, has played professionally in the Philippines since 2013.

A&E ARTS

Small exhibitions bring measure of serenity

By Fredric Koeppel Special to The Commercial Appeal

“Multum in parvo” goes the old Latin tag, meaning “a great deal in a small space,” of which Le Corbusier’s wellknown dictum, “Less is more,” is a variation. So let’s celebrate some small exhibitions at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, displays that draw deeply and appropriately on the permanent collection. Each brought a measure of serenity to the time I spent looking at them, so if you’re looking for a touch of quiet and sanity in this world, you’re in luck.

First, Stanton Thomas, the museum’s curator of European and decorative art, really mined the permanent collection and brought out some stunning pieces, some acquired by the Brooks as long ago as the 1940s, for “Cats and Quotes,” on view through Jan. 3. If you’re weary of the cute cat videos that permeate social media, you’ll appreciate this highly eclectic group of 20 objects displayed on the Moss Mezzanine, the balcony that surrounds the medieval art gallery on three sides and one of my favorite parts of the original museum built in 1916.

These artifacts range from an early 19th century porcelain soup tureen to a couple of riveting ceramic bowls by Mississippi Gulf Coast artist Walter Anderson (1903-1965); from a hitherto unknown-to-me oil-on-canvas painting by William Quinn, the vividly expressionistic “The Cat Takes a Bird,” which came into the collection in 1956 through the Brooks Art Gallery League, to a large and brilliantly hued untitled painting by local

artist Nancy Cheairs from 1984, almost ancient history in her career. It was a pleasure to see again one of Carroll Cloar’s best and most haunting pieces from his casein tempera period, the dreamlike “Story Told by My Mother,” from 1955. Because of its diversity and its surprises, even non-cat-lovers may cozy up to this little show.

Just downstairs, in the intimate space of the Goodman Gallery, is “Arp, Man Ray, and Matta: Surrealists in Any Medium.”

The Goodman donation of artist books, ine limited editions and other artists’ printed matter, collected

by Isabel and Charles Goodman and given to the Brooks in 1990, is among the best accumulations ever given to the museum.

In the 25 years since the bequest, the collection has yielded a trove of small and exquisite exhibitions that seem never to exhaust the material. This beautiful little show, organized

by Brooks chief curator Marina Pacini and registrar Marilyn Masler and displayed through Aug. 30, ofers three publications

illustrated in lavish manner by classic artists of the Surrealist school, the French Jean (Hans) Arp (1886-1966); the Chilean Roberto Matta (1911-2002) and the American Man Ray (1890-1977). The purity and concentration of the imaginative realm presented by these creamy, marvelously printed, intensely seductive works — they’re under glass! No touching! — create a still point of the turning world, as T.S. Eliot said in “Four

Quartets,” a stasis where everything is possible but nothing real exists.

Finally, in “British Watercolors from the Golden Age” (through Sept. 20), Thomas again delivers a group of small, quiet works, 24 in all, that induce meditation and contemplation. That “golden age” lasted approximately from the late 18th century into the early or even mid20th century. Not unusually, the pieces here, in the downstairs Kraft Gallery,

A “Series of Botanical Drawings,” 11 executed by William Goodall circa 1830, are as delicate, intricate and exquisite as we could desire. The landscapes are neither profound nor majestic, though they evoke the pastoral spirit and love of nature nicely

Oxford-based crime novelist Ace Atkins at the Arcade Restaurant on South Main.

By John Beifuss

AN ACE A CRIME WRITER

beifuss@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2394

labama-born, Mississippi-based and Memphis-besotted, crime novelist Ace Atkins has an interesting résumé.

Atkins returns to Memphis with new novel

He was a cops-and-courts reporter in Tampa, where his spadework on a forgotten Florida murder mystery earned him a Pulitzer nomination.

Before that, he was a defensive end and pass rush-specialist on Auburn University’s undefeated 1993 football squad.

Atkins didn’t pursue a career on the gridiron, but he graduated with at least one enviable memento of his career: His sack of future Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerfel made the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Since then, the 6-foot-3, 230-pound Atkins has left the physical punish-

ment to the characters in his books.

These rogues and heroes include Memphis’ own real-life gangster, George “Machine Gun” Kelly (chronicled in the heavily researched period novel “Infamous”); blues historian turned amateur sleuth Nick Travers (the star of four books); Robert B. Parker’s gustatory gumshoe, Spenser (Atkins has written four “Spenser” novels since Parker’s death in 2010); and Army Ranger turned Mississippi Sherif Quinn Colson, who makes his ifth appearance in Atkins’ new book, “The Redeemers” (Putnam, $26.95).

The novel is “another wild ride for a lawed, valiant hero who’s impossible to dislike,” according to Kirkus Reviews, the book review magazine.

Currently on a two-week promotional tour, Atkins signed copies of “The Redeemers” and answered questions Sunday at The Booksellers at Laurelwood. The appearance brought him back to a favorite city, one he irst visited in the midst of that storied 11-0 Auburn football season, when he rewarded himself with a mini-vacation

to Memphis.

“I was a big Stax Records fan,” said Atkins, 45, who now lives with his wife and two children in Oxford, Mississippi. “I was a weird guy in college, listening to Otis Redding and Booker T. & the MG’s. At that time the place was razed, but I went to McLemore and College as a kind of a pilgrimage, and I picked up some of the loor tiles where Stax had been.”

Later, “I looked out my hotel window and there was the Christmas parade going by, and it was so Memphis — and then the grand marshal was Rufus Thomas. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. This was before the Internet; I didn’t even know Rufus was alive.”

Atkins’ love of music inspired his Nick Parker novels, but the Quinn Colson adventures were inluenced by a diferent form of Southern-based popular culture, the action and outlaw movies of the 1970s, including those directed by Memphis-born Hal Needham (“Smokey and the Bandit”).

“I loved those 1970s movies, espe-

A&E cially the ones that are set in the South — ‘Walking Tall,’ ‘White Lightning’ and, even though it’s a little crazy, ‘Smokey and the Bandit.’ I like the way the South looked, gritty and interesting,” Atkins said.

“In the Colson novels, “I want to capture that sense of a 1970s Southern ilm like ‘Gator’ or ‘Deliverance.’”

With a “high and tight” haircut and a “wiry, muscular frame built for speed, surprise, chaos and violence,” Colson is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, “but he could just as well be a Vietnam War character coming home,” Atkins said.

“I’m also a huge Western fan, and if you strip everything away, at the core he’s the gunman who comes to town and becomes sherif.

It’s a story as old as ‘The Odyssey,’ he comes home and he inds his town in shambles and he cleans up.”

For all their mythic roots, the Colson stories — set in ictional Tibbehah County in the hill country of North Mississippi — are meant to be very “authentic” about Southern people and culture, he said. They have to be, to pass the scrutiny of Atkins’ neighbors in Oxford.

That sense of the authentic and personal extends even to the cover of “The Redeemers”: The design incorporates an iPhone photograph of Atkins’ Oxford farm house, taken by Ace’s wife, Angela Moore Atkins, chosen after the publishers submitted one too many cover choices that looked too “Midwestern.” (The family still owns the house but now lives in town, because “me out in the country is a little bit like Mr. Douglas on ‘Green Acres,’” Atkins said.)

A mass communications major at Auburn, Atkins intentionally pursued journalism as a foundation for his dream career as a novelist, iguring that many of his literary heroes, including Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Chandler and George V. Higgins, had worked for

newspapers.

“I sought out the crime beat because I wanted to write about cops and I wanted to write about criminals, and eventually I wanted to write novels,” he said.

Covering crime for The Tampa Tribune in the 1990s, he not only learned about cops and robbers, so to speak, but he developed the deadline discipline that has been one of his great strengths since he became a full-time professional novelist in 2001, only three years after the publication of his irst novel, “Crossroad Blues,” set in Memphis and North Mississippi.

For the past ive years, Atkins has alternated Spenser and Colson nov-

els, writing two books a year. “There’s no rest,” he said. “I think people who have not worked at a daily newsroom could not keep up the pace.” His newspaper training also proved invaluable in preparing his four stand-alone, fact-based novels, from the Tampa-set “White Shadow” (2006) to “Infamous” (2010). “I was essentially working as a reporter, researching, going through microilm, occasionally doing a irsthand interview, and turning it into a novel.”

Atkins was lured to Oxford some 15 years ago, to teach creative writing classes for a friend on sabbatical. The job lasted ive years, but Atkins stayed on, a fan of the town’s literary sensibility and heritage,

and its proximity to Memphis and to so many significant blues and Southernhistory sites.

Atkins’ success has coincided with the rise of what might be called a new golden age of crime iction, highlighted by the work of such authors as Michael Connelly, George Pelecanos, Lee Child, Carl Hiaasen and Megan Abbott — all of whom have contributed blurbs to Atkins’ books.

(Connelly calls Atkins “one of the best crime writers at work today.”) “Some of the best writers working today are writing crime iction,” Atkins said, adding that the modern crime novel typically addresses such topics as gun control, race relations, wealth inequity and sexual abuse.

These writers in turn owe a debt to the late Elmore Leonard, whose writing “really changed my life,” Atkins said. Atkins eventually met and befriended his idol, and Leonard wrote this about the younger author: “He can write rings around most of the names in the crime ield.”

Atkins said he may be most proud of “Infamous,” the “Machine Gun” Kelly novel he researched in Memphis and elsewhere, collecting “literally an entire four-drawer file cabinet” of material. Fastpaced; violent; frequently absurd in a truth-is-stranger-than-iction way; and illed with larger-than-life yet entirely real characters, “Infamous” would seem made to order for a movie or a cable miniseries, but so far Atkins’ iction — so heavily inluenced by the movies — has resisted translation to the screen.

That may change soon: Atkins said he and director Jeremiah Chechik (the television series “Burn Notice,” not to mention the not particularly noirish “Christmas Vacation”) are working closely to bring Quinn Colson to the screen, in a ilm that would be shot in Mississippi, on a modest budget.

OUTDOORS

Hunting, fishing expo is Aug. 7-9 at Agricenter

By Larry Rea

Emma Quon holds a fishing pole reel she picked up at the Mid-South Hunting & Fishing Extravaganza.

This year’s show will be Aug. 7-9.

Special to The Weekly

For more than two decades, the Mid-South Hunting and Fishing Extravaganza has served as the kick-of event for the fall hunting and ishing seasons, a three-day get together for area sportsmen to forget about the summer heat and humidity and talk about hunting, fishing, camping and the multitude of other fall outdoor activities within easy driving distance of the Memphis area.

The Expo South-produced MSHFE will roll out its annual outdoor showcase on Aug. 7-9 at Agricenter International, 7777 Walnut Grove Road.

Show hours are 2-9 p.m. on Aug. 7, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 8 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 9. Tickets are $7, $5 for youth (between 5 and 12 years old) and kids 4 and under are free.

As promised, this one will touch a lot of outdoor bases, such as competitive duck calling and a big buck contest. And, of course, there will be the trout tank and vendors from not only the Mid-South but across the nation.

The MSHFE’s biggest and best duck calling competition is set for Aug. 9, featuring three classes with registration from 10 a.m. to noon and competition set to start at 12:30 p.m.

Competition will include Main Street (90-second limit), Senior (any age/$20 registration fee), Youth (16 or younger/$10), Meat (Arkansas Style, 90- second limit); Teams (anything goes for 90 seconds) and Single Man ($10 per person/four-man limit).

This year’s judges includ champion caller Buck Gardner and Bill Cooksey, a former judge at the World Duck Calling Championship in Stuttgart and editor of the MidSouth Hunting & Fishing News. Other judges will be Greg Brinkley and Ronnie Turner.

Award-winning taxidermist Jody Shults of Como, Miss., will conduct the show’s annual Mid-South Big Buck Contest. Shults, owner of Whitetail Classics & African Classics Taxidermy in Como, is a professional wildlife artist and master taxidermist who in his 25-year career has won more than 125 awards in taxidermy competition, including irst place at the National Taxidermy Convention competition with white-tail deer (twice) as well as the NTA Award of Excellence in the white-tail deer and game head divisions.

He’s been scoring deer antlers for 15 years and is a ive-time Southern Regional champion and oicial judge for the National Taxidermy Association (NTA).

This year’s MSHFE Big Buck Contest winners will be decided by popular vote.

That means show visitors will be part of the decision

making process. All winners will be determined by popular vote by the MSHFE attendees, not by the highest score. The awards will be announced about 2 p.m. on Aug. 9. For more information on the BBC contact Shults at 662-526-9111 or Josh@ExpoSouth.com.

And, of course, there will be 15-plus hours of seminars (all included in your show ticket), hundreds of exhibitors with everything you’ll need for the hunting season and a live trout pond. Parking is free.

Among the show specials:

Trophy Club Outitters will be giving away a free hunt (conducted on 2,500-plus acres of private one-family owned grain/cattle farm 45 minutes west of Indianapolis; three-day bow hunt (arrive on Oct. 4, hunt Oct. 5-7). World Outstanding Whitetails (WOW) Goliath and the Giants Display — Stunning collection of 16 of the biggest white-tail deer ever on display. These deer are the absolute most monster deer to ever walk the planet, including the first whitetail to score more than 500, the X-Factor, along with the Kniesly Buck, Kansas King, Amish Buck and others.

‘Quarry’ drama series plans Memphis shoot Show set to debut next year

shot in Memphis and Mississippi two years ago. On television, “Quarry� retains the early 1970s time period of Collins’ first “Quarry� books, but the producers have shifted the locale from the Midwest to Memphis and the South.

Based on a series of novels by prolific crime/ mystery author Max Allan Collins (“The Road to Perdition�) that date back to the 1970s, “Quarry� was brought to television by executive producers-writers Michael D. Fuller and Graham Gordy (both veterans of the similarly gritty, noirish and Southern “Rectify,� on SundanceTV).

The director of all eight episodes of “Quarry� is Emmy-winner Greg Yaitanes, who has worked on another Cinemax crime drama, “Banshee,� and whose impressive credits include “House,� “Heroes� and “Lost.�

For full information on the requirements for extras and for more information about the casting call, visit the website of the Memphis and Shelby County Film & Television Commission (filmmemphis.org).

PETS OF THE WEEK | GERMANTOWN ANIMAL SHELTER

www.commercialappeal.com

The makers of “Quarry,� a crime-suspense drama series set to debut early next year on Cinemax, will be in Memphis this week to shoot in the city that is home to the program’s title character, a Vietnam War Marine sniper turned professional hit man, Mac “Quarry� Conway (played

by Logan Marshall-Green, a veteran of such TV programs as “The O.C.� and “24�).

Like the recent detective series “Memphis Beat,� which lasted two seasons on TNT, “Quarry� is set in Memphis, but the production is based in Louisiana (New Orleans, specifically), to take advantage of that state’s lucrative economic incentives for filmmakers.

Unlike in the case of “Memphis Beat,� however, the producers of “Quarry� plan to shoot some
