Art from the Heart Annual fundraiser event a success for Page Robbins

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

Page Robbins Adult Day Center recently held its annual Art from the Heart, one of the center’s biggest fundraisers of the year.

This year’s event was held at the Quonset in Collierville, and the name of the event is no accident. All works, available for both live and silent auction, were created by clients at Page Robbins.

The live auction again was handled by David Nelson, a Page Robbins board member and past president of the center’s board of directors. This year, Nelson shared auctioneer duties with Andy Gaia, a current board member. As patrons circulated the room, many stopped to peruse items available in the evening’s silent auction.

When it was time for the live auction to begin, it was Nelson’s turn to circle the room, gently egging

Memphis-area high school students were honored for their achievements April 29 at the Republic Services Academic All-Stars Awards administered by The Commercial Appeal.

Awards were issued in 10 categories for excellence in academics, leadership and service at the Hilton Memphis Tennessee Grand Ballroom, where Gov. Bill Haslam was a featured speaker.

“My daughter has worked hard,” said Edward Norman, whose daughter, Anita, won the English & Literature award. “Some people think it comes easily. It is good for her to see the fruition of her work.”

Anita Norman could not attend the April 29 ceremony because she was attending the 2015 Poetry Out Loud competition in Washington, which she won in 2014.

She will graduate from Arlington High School this spring and has been accepted at Yale University, where she will study sociology and economics.

“We owe a great deal to the educators at Arlington High School,” Edward Norman said.

Kayla Adams was speechless when she heard she won the Art award.

“I am so excited,” said Adams, who graduates this spring as valedictorian from Overton High School with a 4.75 grade-point average. “I was not expecting this.”

Collierville adding 6-8 portable classrooms Temporary fix, new high school years away

By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

With a new high school still at least three years away, the Collierville Schools board is planning to spend $500,000 in next year’s budget for six to eight portable classrooms for the following school year.

Supt. John Aitken called the portables a “Band-Aid” until the district solves its capacity issues with a more permanent solution — and the district is still moving forward with plans for a new, single high school for the community.

An informal community survey showed a slim majority of Collierville residents don’t support a large tax increase for a new high school.

Town oicials said they would defer to the school board and administration to decide how to

Germantown Police Reports

move forward.

Aitken said the district is still putting together a list of options, including a smaller, second high school, but is moving forward with land negotiations.

“Right now our focus is on moving forward with one high school,” he said.

Adding portable classrooms, all for the high school, is one of several new expenditures for the district going into the 201516 school year. Aitken presented a brief overview of next year’s

budget during a work session Tuesday night.

Board member Kevin Vaughan spoke out about the need for portable classrooms.

“The cost of doing nothing costs something, which is very disappointing,” he said.

The budget features a $3 million general fund increase — for a total of $66.5 million — over the current school year’s initial projections. Aitken said it’s not that big of an increase, however, because the district made several

adjustments throughout this year.

The district is planning to add 20 teachers next year, including two special-education teachers.

Nine of the regular instruction teachers are for Collierville High School.

The budget also features $720,000 for technological improvements, including $680,000 for handheld devices for students. Aitken said the devices will be used for testing, as the state is requiring that more and more testing be done online.

Huey’s birthday bash Memphis institution celebrates its 45th

By Emily Adams Keplinger Special to The Weekly

The community was invited to join the fun on April 26 as Huey’s Restaurants celebrated its 45th anniversary with a block party on Madison Avenue.

From mid-afternoon into the night, partygoers spilled from the sidewalks into the street as the legendary restaurant provided a festive atmosphere with food, drinks, giveaways and live music.

Founded in 1976 by Thomas Boggs, Huey’s has always been a family restaurant, both in terms of its customer base, as well as its management.

“Today, Huey’s is run by the Boggs family,” explained Shannon Little, marketing and events coordinator for Huey’s. “Lauren Boggs McHugh is CEO/president. Ashley Boggs Robilio is vice president of operations, Samantha Boggs Dean is special projects coordinator.

They were taught the ropes of the restaurant business by their father, Thomas Boggs. He taught them the importance of service with a smile and giving back to the Mem-

Little added, “Thomas Boggs also made an unforgettable mark on the restaurant community. His burgers have been voted ‘Best Burger’ by Memphis Magazine every year since 1984. And Huey’s has placed in the National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant Neighbor Award for the last ive years. The Huey’s restaurants have been featured on Travel

Channel’s ‘World’s Best/Top 10 Travel’ program and Food Network’s ‘The Best Of’. In addition, they are a winner of the Memphis Business Journal Small Business Award.”

After 45 years of building a reputation worthy of those accolades, Huey’s and its dedicated staf delighted the crowd as it lived up to its slogan of “Blues, Brews and Burgers.” And as the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Huey’s, it’s a sure bet the song ended with a heartfelt “any many more.”

4.76 grade-point average and scored 31 on the ACT. Collierville High School student Anne Raheem won the Mathematics award. She earned a 4.60 grade-point average, a 35 on the ACT, a 780 on the SAT Math subject test, as well as a top score in the AP calculus exam.

Shelbi Sellers of TiptonRosemark Academy won the Music award. The singer, actress, choreographer and dancer was cast in the premiere of the national “Hotel Grace” production this summer.

Jack Hirschman of Memphis University School won the Science award. The National Merit Scholarship Finalist earned a 5.25 grade-point average. He created a 25foot map of the United States painted outside Wells Station Elementary.

Hutchison’s Anna Johnson won the Social Sciences & History award. The member of the Steering Committee of the Global Ambassadors organization holds a 5.19 grade-point average, and she attended the Tennessee Governor’s School for International Studies.

FUNDRAISER from 1 on the bidders as Kate Kilpatrick and Lauren Harrett presented auction items to prospective bidders. By the end of the evening, all works in the live auction were snatched up.

Page Robbins Adult Day Center is an outgrowth of what started out as a support group for caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

In September 1995, Collierville Alzheimer’s Day Care Center opened. The center operated out of Collierville Christian Church for six years.

With an increased need for the program’s services, a larger facility was required. In 2003, the Halle and Robbins families donated land to house the center’s current location on Houston Levee. At that time, the name was changed to Page Robbins Adult Day Center in honor of Julia Page Robbins.

The need for the work of Page Robbins continues, as does the need for fundraising.

Germantown Police have arrested and charged a Memphis man in a driveway robbery that occurred last week.

Tyrone Travis Hathaway, 46, has been charged with one count of aggravated robbery, according to an aidavit. He is being held in the Shelby County jail on $100,000 bond.

Germantown police said April 27 a woman in her 70s was washing her vehicle in her driveway in the 1300 block of Fox Grape Cove around 10:30 a.m. when she was approached by a man who talked to her about yard work. She said he then reached into the back of her vehicle and stole her purse.

Lt. Jack Antonuk said the woman used her hose to spray the man as he started to leave, and he turned around and pointed a handgun at her. He then led in a vehicle.

According to the aidavit, witnesses observed a silver Ford Windstar traveling westbound on Corsica at a high rate of speed. Police were able to track the vehicle to a home on South Perkins Road, the aidavit said, and Hathaway was identiied as the driver.

No connection to two other driveway robberies and a home invasion in Germantown in January have been determined, Antonuk said.

Kathi Davidson is outstanding educator for 2015

By Ginger Jordan Special to The Weekly

St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School pre-Kindergarten teacher, Kathi Davidson, is the 2015 recipient of the Albertus Magnus Award. The award, presented annually by the St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School Board of Trustees, recognizes an outstanding educator who demonstrates the four pillars of the Dominican charism — study, prayer, community and service.

“Kathi Davidson is the quintessential early childhood teacher,” said Kathy Boccia, dean of St. Agnes Academy Lower School. “She possesses the balance be-

tween her students’ needs for love and their need to grow as learners. The children respond to the structure and routines in Kathi’s classroom because they feel safe in her care. She also helps the parents of her students by guiding and advising them regarding the developmental stages that their children are experiencing.”

Davidson of Germantown has taught pre-kindergarten at SAA-SDS since 1995.

A true champion for the children, she wants what is best for every child, and she is keenly in tune with the individual needs of each of her students. Kathi lives out her philosophy of education everyday in her classroom.

“I want to make sure that every child I come in contact with believes they are important to me and that I want them to be in my classroom,” Davidson said. “I want each child to learn to love school and all it has to ofer academically, socially, spiritually and emotionally.”

Parents quickly come to realize that Davidson is truly their partner in shaping their child’s future and how strongly she believes in the potential in each child. In their nomination letters, parents shared their thoughts on Davidson and her impact on their children.

In her 20 years at SAA-SDS, Davidson has served on numerous committees and mentored incoming teachers. Every summer she teaches a variety of camps. This year she was a member of the steering committee for the Justice, Respect and Peace program, and she has been involved in the development of the Littlest Stars and Suns Program for 2-year-olds. She volunteers annually with the Gala and has served as a chairwoman for the Annual Fund. Davidson and her husband, Mike, have two children, Drew and Erin, a 2005 graduate of St. Agnes Academy.

Literacy Council names Kelly Thieme new executive director Special to The Weekly

After reviewing nearly 50 applications, the Collierville Literacy Council board of directors recently named Kelly Thieme as the organization’s newest executive director.

Thieme replaces longtime director Karen Ray. Ray retired at the end of March after more than 20 years with the organization.

“The board of directors is very excited to have Kelly Thieme in this position,” said CLC president Angie Vandenbergh. “After interviewing several qualiied applicants, we felt Kelly would be a great it to further the mission of the Collierville Literacy Council.”

Thieme is a graduate of University of Missouri-Columbia where she earned her bachelor of science in early childhood education. She also received her master of arts degree in literacy instruction from Michigan State University, certifying her as a reading specialist.

After owning and operating “Teaching Together,” which offered instructional consulting to schools and private tutoring, Thieme found her way to the CLC in 2009.

“I was searching within the community to ind a place that could use my services or that specialized in literacy instruction,” Thieme recalled.

“I thought, ‘Surely there is some place that would need a reading specialist.’”

Teaching nearly a decade in elementary classrooms, Thieme headed up the CLC’s literacy program for the last six years and designed instruction cur-

rently still in use for students and tutors.

Additiona l duties Thieme performed during her initial years at the CLC included training tutors, preparing instructional plans for students, writing grants for funding, assisting students from the CLC’s GED/HiSET and English Language Learners program, which also included guiding students in receiving testing accommodations.

“Her extensive knowledge in literacy education and her background in working with our tutors and students are tremendous assets to our programs,” Vandenbergh noted. “Her passion is contagious in her ideas for enhancing opportunities in our community.”

Originally from Missouri, Thieme relocated from Syracuse to Collierville in 2003 with her husband, Jef, and their son, Adam. The couple welcomed their second son, Joseph, later that year.

Serving as the third director in the CLC’s history, Thieme said she is thrilled to lead the organization.

“I am so happy to have been chosen to steer the Collierville Literacy Coun-

cil into its next stage,” she said. “It is a place where students cannot only ind excellent instruction, but also heartfelt support and encouragement. The CLC is a true gem in Collierville’s crown.”

Thieme is also looking forward to partnering with Collierville businesses, clubs and organizations as the CLC continues to grow.

“In addition to our annual Scrabble Tournament, we are excited to be partnering with the Collierville Rotary Club this year to host the 2015 Tour de Collierville on Sept. 5,” Thieme explained. “This fun event is a great way to get the whole community involved.”

Just weeks into her new position, Thieme is already hard at work with forming the Friends of the Collierville Literacy Council.

“Starting this group is a fantastic way for us to increase awareness and support for our organization within the community,” she said. “There are individuals who would love to support the CLC and be part of what we do, but may not feel comfortable tutoring. When you are a ‘friend’ you will have the opportunity to serve on CLC committees or give time helping with our Scrabble and Tour de Collierville fundraisers.

Friends will also be notiied when we need manpower for special events or supplies for our organization.”

Schools SNAPSHOTS

These Germantown High School students were recently inducted to the ACT 30+ Club. New members were inducted by principal Barbara Harmon on April 23 during a special brunch held in their honor. Each new member received a certiicate and a special gift from the school. The Germantown High School ACT 30+ Club now has 76 members.

Several teachers and administration staf from Sycamore Elementary participated in Collierville Education Foundation’s annual Bowl-A-Thon at Fun Quest.

SEND US YOUR SNAPSHOTS Seniors at St. George’s Independent School worked on their global challenge project, a group activity where the students must research a global problem and present indings and solutions to a faculty committee. Lorenzo Cantu, Jack Glosson and Allie Buckmaster decided they wanted to learn more about decolonization of bees. They used SGIS parent, Leslie Schutt, as an expert, and they did extensive research. The students even visited a beekeeper’s farm. From that, they developed two plans for SGIS to help improve the plight of bees, including installing limestone and creating a pollination station on campus.

They met with administrators and facility staf about the implementation of their plans.

The Tennessee State Air Force Association selected Shelli Brasher of Collierville High School as a “State Teacher of the Year.”

Au pairs learn southern game bunco What is bunco? How do you play? Is it fun?

These were some questions asked by several local AuPairCare au pairs leading up to the group’s recent event.

Bunco is a dice game played by many southern ladies once a month while enjoying food, drinks and much laughter with girlfriends.

It didn’t take long for all of the au pairs to catch on to this easy, simple fun dice game. There were screams of excitement, laughter, plotting against the other team to lose, as

well as silent concentration as the three dice were being tossed onto the table.

Pure elation erupted when all three dice landed on the same number, which awarded the lucky roller a big bunco. At the end of the game there were several big bunco winners and a “roll of� was needed to name the winner.

Camila Gomez was named “Big Bunco� winner and Natalia Ardila of Colombia was the overall bunco winner. Other wards were given during the event. Nikola Podlipna of the Czech Republic was named “Biggest Loser� and went away with a cash prize. The afternoon pro-

vided an experience none of the au pairs had ever had, and many of them hope to take this simple dice game back to their own country when they return home.

Caro Mansalve of Colombia, who had only been in America for two weeks prior to the party, has asked for the instructions on how to play bunco because, “I would really like to take this game back home and teach my friends how to play,� Mansalve said. “This was so much fun and I am so glad I learned a new game.�

Kelcie Phillips is the area director of AuPairCare.

Home & Garden

Whole lotta hostas Upcoming society sale features new varieties, old favorites Plant sale season is winding down, but for shade gardeners, it’s not over until the hosta lady sings.

She’s warming up her vocal cords and getting ready to belt out some new songs as well as the classic hits Saturday at the annual sale and garden tour organized by members of her local fan club, the MidSouth Hosta Society.

This year, the free event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. near the Hosta Trail at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Shoppers will enter from North Gate A, where they can walk or ride to the trail.

With more than 1,400 plants and hundreds of varieties, you can ind a hosta in any size, leaf color and texture you could want.

They range from the spectacularly huge chartreuse Sum and Substance to Mini Skirt, a hard-to-ind petite pleasure with wide ruled leaves bordered in white cream. In the summer, it’s topped with 8-inch spikes of lavender lowers.

You’ll also ind a selection of outstanding plants that have been named “Hosta of the Year” by the American Hosta Society.

Victory, the 2015 designee, is classiied as a “giant” that reaches about 2 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity. Its sturdy gray-green leaves with light yellow edges are described as “corrugated.”

Other worthy HoYs at the sale that do well in our climate are June, Blue Mouse Ears, Halcyon, Great Expectations, Kros-

CHRISTINE ARPE GANG GREEN THUMB

sa Regal, Lakeside Cupcake and Golden Tiara.

New hosta hotties for purchase include Outhouse Delight, Wheee! and the miniature Curly Fries, the 2016 HoY that has narrow chartreuse leaves that wiggle and ripple to form a clump 16 inches wide but just 6 inches tall.

It’s best to arrive early with a list that categorizes your choices by leaf colors — blue, gold, green and variegated — because that’s how they will be arranged. Minis and HoYs will be in their areas.

Snag your must-haves irst, and then give yourself time for impulse shopping.

Then be sure to take a stroll on the hosta trail, where you will see more than 500 labeled hostas, most of them mature specimens though not quite at the full growth they will realize by July.

This impressive garden was one of only 23 National Display Gardens certiied by the American Hosta Society in 2006, just seven years after the founding of the local group.

Its collection of miniatures is easy to study because the plants have been placed in a bed raised a couple of feet from the ground. We senior gardeners are happy to ofer

a standing ovation for that!

You also will see how hostas can be integrated with other shade-loving plants such as hydrangeas, hardy ferns, azaleas, sedums and others planted on the trail.

If you are new to gardening with hostas, you will want to seek advice from the experts on hand.

Spring seemed much more rainy than usual, but

by April 29 rainfall for the month was about 2 inches below average. The yearto-date total was about 4 inches below the average.

But frequent rains have turned low, poorly drained places into shallow lakes that are breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

We may think of mosquitoes as nocturnal pests, but they actually feed at dusk and dawn, as we early morning gardeners know too well.

Dr. John Guyton, an entomologist and plant pathologist at Mississippi State University, dispelled myths surrounding mosquito control during a talk given in early April at the Home & Garden Show in New Albany, Miss.

Mosquitoes, he said, are attracted to the carbon dioxide we breathe out, funky odors that may arise from poor bathing habits, sweat and other moisture, and the motion of moving objects like us.

Electric bug-zapping de-

vices attract more mosquitoes to your yard than they kill and also annihilate lots of beneicial bugs.

So clearly we can’t stand perfectly still, stay perfectly clean or avoid sweating and breathing.

But here are some deterrents cited by Guyton: ■ Put holes in the bottom of garbage cans so liquids will drain out.

■ Keep gutters clean and free-lowing.

■ Improve drainage in places that regularly hold water.

■ Make sure water moves in ornamental water features by equipping them with recirculating pumps and/or fountains.

■ Keep weeds closely cut. Mosquitoes like to hide in them.

Guyton, who runs a “bug camp” for adults and children every summer, keeps mosquitoes away from his body by wearing long pants, long sleeves, closed-toe shoes and socks and a hat with an optional inely meshed veil.

He sprays an insect repellent containing 100 percent DEET on his shirt cufs, other parts of his clothing and the backs of his hands. It should be done only in a well-ventilated place such as the outdoors.

This summer, he’s going to try a repellent containing picaridin, which is derived from a plant in the same family as the one that produces the black pepper we use to season our food.

It has been proven to be efective by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as have repellents made with lemon and eucalyptus oils.

Guyton’s favorite mosquito deterrent for outdoor patios and decks equipped with electricity is a big fan.

Mosquitoes, it seems, don’t like windy places.

Grizzlies

AZ-BO

FROM

TO

Bringing alphabetical order, and movie references, to the Grizzlies-Warriors series

By David Williams williams@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2310

Of playof basketball and bears on the prowl, men of letters and movie references ...

A: Ajax. The toughest member of the namesake gang in the 1979 ilm “The Warriors.” Known for his toughness and ighting skills.

Named for the mythical Greek hero, who himself was feared for his strength, ierce bearing and battle wiles.

Sounds more like a Grizzly.

B: Believe Memphis.

C: California, the Golden State. Home of the Golden State Warriors — and a state lag that is, alas, cooler than ours, and every other state’s lag, aside from maybe Arizona and Maryland. But why is the California lag so cool?

Because of the awesome grizzly bear that is its primary feature.

D: Dave Joerger. A year ago about this time, amid a frontoffice shake-up, it looked like Joerger might leave the Memphis head coaching job for the same gig with the woeful Minnesota Timberwolves, and our columnist, Geof Calkins, was writing: Look at the bright side: The Grizzlies may be able to be save money on halftime acts next season. Who needs a woman juggling bowls on a unicycle when the entire operation is a clown show?

See Robert Pera, the owner who thinks he can beat his players and Michael Jordan one-on-one!

See the third head coach in three years!

And for the grand finale: See a strong, vibrant franchise disappear before your very eyes!

The latest bit of clownishness involves Dave Joerger, the highly successful head coach who replaced the last highly successful head coach, and has been given permission to interview for the Minnesota Timberwolves head coaching job.

Yes, the same Joerger who was dispatched to radio stations Tuesday to tell people that nothing was changing, he was certainly the head coach going forward, this tumult didn’t involve him.

E: Ex-Spartans in a power forward matchup you don’t have to be a Michigan State alum to love: Zach Randolph vs. Draymond Green.

F: Faulkner, William. An occasional letter writer, in his day, to this very newspaper, and a legendary author whose most famous works includes a long story titled “The Bear.” Read this excerpt and — bear with me here — see if it doesn’t work as a treatise on the Grizzlies’ throwback, ground-andpound style of play in an NBA age of swish and splash: It ran in his knowledge before he ever saw it. It loomed and towered in his dreams before he even saw the unaxed woods where it left its crooked print, shaggy, tremendous, red-eyed, not malevolent but just big, too big for the dogs which tried to bay it, for the horses which tried to ride it down, for the men and the bullets they fired into it; too big for the very country which was its constricting scope.

It wa s as if the boy had already divined what his senses and intellect had not encompassed yet: that doomed wilderness whose edges were being constantly and punily gnawed at by men with plows and axes who feared it because it was

HANDOUT PHOTO

A 1979 movie, “The Warriors” featured moody but fashion-conscious gang members who would defend their territory like a bear defending its cubs. Hey, come to think of it, these Warriors seem more suited to being part of the Grit-and-Grind gang.

NIKKI BOERTMAN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

While Tony Allen is the Grindfather, there is no doubt Zach Randolph is the Papa Bear, and when Z-Bo smiles like that, it makes all of Memphis believe.

wilderness, men myriad and nameless even to one another in the land where the old bear had earned a name, and through which ran not even a mortal beast but an anachronism indomitable and invincible out of an old dead time, a phantom, epitome and apotheosis of the old wild life which the little puny humans swarmed and hacked at in a fury of abhorrence and fear like pygmies about the ankles of a drowsing elephant; — the old bear, solitary, indomitable and alone ...

G: Grit. Grind.

H: Heart, all.

I: “Indomitable and invincible,” a repeat from the Faulkner excerpt above, just in case your eyes were glazing over before you got that deep in.

J: Joe Walsh. A Memphian, for a while in the mid-1980s.

His song “In the City” is the one you remember most from “The Warriors” soundtrack.

K: Kelly, David Patrick, actor. As Luther, Warlord of the Rogues, he shouted that iconic movie line, “Warr-iors, come out to play-i-ay.”

L: Leaning Jumper of M e m - phis. That thing Beno Udrih does.

M: Monarch.

The name of the real-life inspiration for the grizzly bear on California’s state lag.

Here’s the story, according to Wikipedia: “The bear on the current lag of California is claimed to have been modeled on the last Californian grizzly bear in captivity. The bear, named ‘Monarch,’ was captured in 1889 by newspaper reporter

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES

Who knew Oxford, Miss., novelist William Faulkner was a Grizzlies fan? His famous story “The Bear” appears to have been an ode to the Grizzlies’ throwback ground-and-pound style of play.

Allen Kelley, at the behest of William Randolph Hearst.

The bear was subsequently moved to Woodwards Gardens in San Francisco, and then to the zoo at Golden Gate Park. After the bear’s death in 1911, it was mounted and preserved at the Academy of Sciences at Golden Gate Park.”

In Memphis, of course, bears are plentiful and free to roam at will, though they seem most at home in the paint.

N: Nine. Shots made, in 25 attempts, by Stephen Curry

when the Grizzlies beat the Warriors, 105-98, in FedExForum on Dec. 16. He was 1 of 10 on 3-pointers.

O: Old Ben, the bear in Faulkner’s story.

P: Poier, Don. Let’s pause a moment to remember the beloved Griz announcer who died suddenly, of an apparent heart attack, 10 years ago. His trademark catchphrase — “Only in the movies and in Memphis” — lives on.

Q: Q scores, a measure of celebrity likability and awareness, used by companies

seeking product endorsers.

Golden State star Stephen Curry has a score of 26 among sports fans, according to The Q Scores Co. That’s third-best for NBA players and higher than LeBron James.

No word on who has the highest Q score here in the land of the Griz. Probably Bongo Lady.

R: Rembrandt. A member of The Warriors, in the ilm of the same name. A character bio on imdb.com calls him “the youngest and least battlehardened” of the gang, valuable mostly as a graiti artist. But, like a young player who develops over the course of a season to become a true postseason contributor, the site notes, “He proved to be a capable ighter, however, against The Punks and used his paint to spray them in the eyes. He is named after the Dutch painter.”

S: Splash Brothers. Nickname for Golden State guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who ranked third and fourth in the NBA regular season in 3-point shooting accuracy at 44.3 and 43.9 percent. They combined to make more 3-pointers than the entire Grizzlies team — by more than 100.

T: Thabeet, Hasheem. No. 2 overall pick of the 2009 NBA draft, by Memphis.

U: Ugh. In lieu of outright cursing, a family-friendly exclamation when considering the Grizzlies could have picked James Harden (No. 3), Tyreke Evans (No. 4) or Steph Curry (No. 7) that year.

V: Vermin, co-founder of The Warriors. The ictional movie gang, not the NBA franchise.

W: Warrior. Not one from the movie or from Golden State. The Grizzlies’ Mike Conley, playing point guard on one good foot — only to have his face fractured by an errant elbow.

X: Xenophon.

A Greek historian and soldier.

See “Y.” Y: Yurick, Sol. Author of the novel “The Wa r r i o r s ,” on which the movie was based. From imdb.com: “Ostensibly about city gangs, it was actually based on the Greek history known as ‘Anabasis,’ written by Athens’ Xenophon in 4th century B.C. It tells of the long, adventurous trek home of Greek mercenaries, after their leader, Cyrus the Younger, is killed during the war against Persia.”

Z: Zach Randolph. The embodiment of a franchise, on the court. A civic hero, of it.

Sage purveyor of such truths and wisdom as “I don’t bluf” and “We in the mud.” Speaking of warriors ...

Girl Scouts turn to Corporate Cookie sale after bad weather

Cole Stonebrook recently was recognized as the Outstanding Biosystems Engineering Senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Stonebrook has served as a student ambassador and is graduating with honors.

Stonebrook graduated from Collierville High in 2011. He is the son of Ken and Karen Stonebrook.

By Jeremy C. Park Special to The Weekly

Diane Hight (center), founder and president of Forever Young, recently spoke to members of the Rotary Club of Germantown.

Hight was joined by president-elect, Casey Lawhead, and Daniel Hight. The Rotary Club of Germantown meets every Wednesday at noon at TPC Southwind.

The Collierville Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department celebrated the anniversaries of four employees during a department meeting. Kenny Figure was awarded with a 10-year service pin, David Walker received his 20-year pin and Richard Logston (right), production manager for the Harrell Theatre, received his 25-year service pin. Parks department director, Chip Petersen (left), presented the three with their pins.

The Germantown Garden Club arranged flowers in the lobby of Germantown Performing Arts Center in honor of Iris Chamber Orchestra’s last performance. The arrangement was composed of purple irises, yellow roses, purple statice and white calla lilies. The flower arrangers were Barbara Pendergrast (left) and Joy White.

The Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the grand re-opening of Gift Horse, located at 2095 Exeter #90, in Germantown.

Amy Barringer, Janie Day, coowners, Laurie and Sharon Morgan, Vice-Mayor, Rocky Janda, Lyle Muller and Emily Walpole helped cut the ribbon.

For nonproits relying on nice weather for fundraising events and eforts, it has been a challenging start to the year.

One organization affected is Girl Scouts Heart of the South, which orders extra cases of Girl Scout cookies for its troops to sell at grocery stores and retail outlets. With the cookies only being available once a year and all proceeds beneiting our local council, cookies are a powerful fundraiser and critical to the organization’s ability to provide programming for youth.

Unfortunately, with the diicult weather, the girls were not able to get out and sell cookies, so the organization has about 42,000 boxes that need to be sold.

As a result, they’re holding a Corporate Cookie Sale during which businesses can purchase cookies at a discounted price of $3.50 a box (regularly $4). Cookies are a tasty way to say “Good job” to your employees and make

perfect customer giveaways and client t ha n k-you gifts. To take advantage of this Jeremy C. opportuniPark ty, call 901334-3450 or e-mail Kimberly Crafton at Kimberly. Crafton@ GirlScoutsHS.org.

If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift, give Mom some Girl Scout cookies. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the parking lot across from ShowPlace Arena at the Agricenter, you can join Girl Scouts, the MidSouth Food Bank, Memphis Union Mission, and irst responders to “Do A Good Turn.” You’ll be able to buy Girl Scout cookies in pairs of boxes. Give a box to Mom and donate the other to one of the nonproit groups working with Girl Scouts. You’ll receive a card that lets Mom know about your generous gift to others in her name.

Jeremy C. Park is president of Lipscomb Pitts Breakfast Club.

GHS senior honored in state program Special to The Weekly

For the past year, Ally Coyle, a senior at Germantown High School, has represented Shelby County as a member of Distinguished Young Women of Tennessee.

She heads to Florida State University in the fall to study interior design and business.

Last July, Coyle traveled with her family to Cleveland, Tenn., to represent the area at the state program. She won a scholastics award, as well as an audience choice award.

Eleven young ladies have attended interest meetings, read e-mails and heard about the Distinguished Young Women of Tennessee Scholarship Program through counselors and teachers.

These 11 women from the Greater Memphis area recently participated in the West Tennessee Distinguished Young Women At-Large program to qualify for a shot at the state scholarship.

The Class of 2016 competed in five categories to attain a benchmark score and qualify for state. The

categories were scholastics, interview, selfexpression, talent and fitness. They were scored by a panel of four judges.

The state winner will travel to Mobile, Ala., in June 2016 to participate in personal development activities and community service projects, before competing with representatives from the other 49 states for the opportunity to become the Distinguished Young Woman of America for 2015 and a share of more than $125,000 in scholarships.

MOTHER’S DAY

MICHAEL DONAHUE/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

The skin’s the thing on the Sweet Tea Chicken at Interim in East Memphis.

BEST BETS

GIVEAWAY

Sweet Tea Chicken at Interim

By Michael Donahue donahue@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2797

My mother removes the skin when she eats chicken. She’s now 96 years old.

I wouldn’t dream of not eating the skin on the Sweet Tea Chicken at Interim Restaurant & Bar. “That’s the best part,” said Interim’s morning sous chef, Phillip Harris, who came up with the recipe.

The taste of molasses from the brown sugar used in the brine is so delicious I ate just about every bit of the skin after ordering the chicken recently at lunch. Sweet Tea Chicken, which used to be a lunchtime special, was added to the daily lunch menu because it was so popular, Harris said. The half-chicken sells for $16,

but it’s like eating dinner.

It comes with arugula, green beans and mashed potatoes. I also ordered sweet tea, which had just the right amount of sweetness.

Harris soa ks the chicken in a brine made of brown sugar, salt, ive oranges, 10 lemons, a few bay leaves and ive tea bags. After he removes the roasted chicken from the oven, he adds a mixture of tea, sugar and whole grain mustard.

The meat has a slightly sweet taste, which I really liked. I broke up pieces of the skin and ate it with the meat to get a more intense sweet and savory efect.

Chefs Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman, owners of the restaurant trinity of Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Hog & Hominy and Porcellino’s

Craft Butcher, were at Interim while I was there.

Their whole table ordered the Sweet Tea Chicken.

“It tastes like sweet tea,” Ticer said. “It was tasty. It was really good.

It paired perfectly with my iced tea.”

“I like the glaze,” Hudman said. “I thought that was kind of a nice touch.

I liked how it teetered between sweet and savory.

It wasn’t too sweet. You kind of get worried about getting a glaze too sweet.

I thought they nailed that.”

Asked how he came up with sweet tea as an ingredient, Harris said, “It’s a Southern thing. My grandmother would love it.”

So would my mother.

East took the king and led another spade, and South ru�ed with his last trump, cashed his club winners and tried a second diamond finesse. East’s queen won the setting trick.

DIAMOND HONORS South must have forgotten the bidding. East, who had opened, was a heavy favorite to hold both diamond honors, especially after West had the jack of spades.

South should try for a “partial elimination.” He ru�s the third spade, takes two high trumps and three high clubs,

Horoscopes

By Jacqueline Bigar King Features Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could have quite a reaction to what is happening.

Make it a point to stop and have a discussion before proceeding any further. Take charge if need be. You know how to execute a goal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You’ll relate directly to a loved one. You might not be exactly sure of what you need, but after a discussion, you will gain clarity. Detach, make several important goals and relect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might decide to let others dominate. You love to guide conversations and be listened to, but sit on that need for now. Observe others’ styles of conversing and making suggestions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH A partner or several people around you might have very diferent ideas. Make that OK, but be willing to blaze a new path and not worry for a change about everyone else’s reactions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You have energy and creativity, but you might be pushing into an area that you probably would prefer not to have to deal with. Stop and look at what you need or want to take on. Pace yourself; schedule some time just for fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Decide to approach a situation diferently. You tend to stay with the tried and true because of the comfort. Someone might ofer his or her support as you move in a new direction. You could be quite pleased by embracing a new habit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep moving forward.

Honor a change, and be more forthright about what you feel.

Sometimes your need to be diplomatic prevents you from claiming your power. Stop and rethink your approach. Remember to be diplomatic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You are likely to tell it like it is. Whatever direction you choose to head in, you’ll succeed. Honor a change, and listen to feedback from others.

Detach from a problematic situation, and you will see what is

happening behind the scenes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to come to terms with a inancial matter or perhaps revise your budget. You probably won’t be comfortable with what you are seeing. Give yourself the time and space to handle this basic issue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Beam in what you want, as the universe lashes a green light in your direction.

Do not hesitate; just go of and pursue your heart’s desire. Others might be surprised by what goes down as you race full speed ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Be willing to observe rather than blindly trust someone’s words. You will gain a clearer insight into what might be possible. Honor a change in yourself. The result could be more dynamic than you realize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Someone you meet today might be seemingly cool and collected, but he or she probably is extremely emotional. Zero in on an important project or goal that you can complete by the weekend.

Automated Planet Finder spots new super-Earths 3 planets orbit star 54 light years away

By Rachel Feltman The Washington Post

Thanks to an automated robotic telescope, scientists have spotted three new super-Earths in our cosmic backyard. The planets orbit a star just 54 light years away. They are described in a paper recently published by the Astrophysical Journal.

The innermost planet was discovered using the Keck Observatory back in 2009. But now researchers have completed the

star system, using years of data to put all three planets into place.

Like other exoplanets, they were detected by way of their inluence on their host star — their gravity makes the star, called HD 7924, wobble, and scientists can use that to calculate the size and orbits of the planets.

“The three planets are unlike anything in our solar system, with masses 7-8 times the mass of Earth and orbits that take them very close to their host star,” University of California at Berkeley graduate student Lauren Weiss said in a statement.

The University of California Observatories team, which took on a year-and-a-half-long cam-

Artist’s impression of a view from the HD 7924 planetary system looking back toward our sun.

KAREN TERAMURA & BJ FULTON, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, INSTITUTE FOR ASTRONOMY

paign to supplement the Keck’s data and conirm these planets, credited their Automated Planet Finder for speeding up their work.

The APF is a telescope programmed to hunt for planets any

night the weather is clear, dramatically upping the amount of data scientists have to work with.

“We initially used APF like a regular telescope, staying up all night searching star to star. But

the idea of letting a computer take the graveyard shift was more appealing after months of little sleep. So we wrote software to replace ourselves with a robot,” said University of Hawaii graduate student, BJ Fulton.

Unlike the planets found by the Kepler Space Telescope (which now number in the thousands), these “Earth-like” planets are relatively close by. As part of his graduate research, Fulton plans to use APF to continue mapping near-Earth rocky planets. After a two-year survey, he expects to have a census of all the small planets orbiting stars like our own sun within 100 light years of home.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors Inc., unveils the company’s newest product, Powerpack in Hawthorne, Calif., on April 30.

POWERPLAY

By Michael Liedtke and Jonathon Fahey AP Business Writers

FOSTER CITY, Calif. — Never lacking daring ideas, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is determined to jolt the electricity market.

The CEO of electric carmaker Tesla Motors hopes to park hundreds of millions of large, solar panel-connected batteries in homes and businesses so the world can disconnect from power plants — and he can proit.

And, on April 30, Musk took the stage at Tesla’s design studio near Los Angeles International Airport to unveil how he intends to do it.

“Our goal here is to fundamentally change the way the world uses energy,” Musk told reporters gathered in Hawthorne, California.

Although Tesla will make the battery called “Powerwall,” it will be sold by a variety of other companies.

The list of partners includes SolarCity, a solar installer founded by Musk’s cousins, Lyndon and Peter Rive. Musk is SolarCity’s chairman and largest shareholder.

As with Tesla’s electric cars, which start around $70,000, the battery might be too expensive for most consumers.

The system will carry a suggested price of $3,000-3,500, depending on capacity. Installation will be extra. That could discourage widespread adoption, especially for a product that may only have limited use.

“I don’t believe this product in its irst incarnation will be interesting to the average person,” conceded Peter Rive, SolarCity’s chief technology oicer. Rive, though, still expects there to be enough demand to substantially increase the number of batteries in homes.

Musk is so encouraged by the initial demand he believes Tesla and other future entrants in the market will

David Cunningham shows a prototype Tesla battery system that powers his Foster City, Calif., home. Cunningham installed the battery late last year to pair with his solar panels as part of a pilot program run by the California Public Utilities Commission to test home battery performance.

be able to sell 2 billion battery packs around the world — roughly the same number of vehicles already on roads.

Although that may sound like a “super crazy” goal, Musk insisted it “is within the power of humanity to do.”

Tesla hopes to begin shipping a limited number of Powerwall batteries this summer in the U.S. before expanding internationally next year.

The long-term goal is to reduce the world’s reliance on energy generated from fossil fuels while creating regional networks of home batteries that could be controlled as if they were a power plant.

For now, the battery primarily serves as an expensive backup system during blackouts for customers like David Cunningham, an aerospace engineer from Foster City, Calif. He installed a Tesla battery

late last year to pair with his solar panels as part of a pilot program run by the California Public Utilities Commission to test home battery performance.

Although Cunningham’s home has not endured a blackout yet, it’s capable of running critical home appliances like lights and refrigeration.

“As long as a person has solar panels, it’s just a natural it for the two to go together,” Cunningham said. “I consider it to be a whole power system right here in my home.”

Cunningham took advantage of state incentives that reduced the battery’s $18,300 sticker price. He still paid $7,500.

“The value proposition now is around reliability and backup power more than it is around savings, but over time that may change,” said Shayle

Kann, an analyst at GTM Research.

The batteries are likely to become more useful if, as expected, more utilities and regulators allow power prices to change throughout the day based on market conditions.

That way, the software that controls the solar and battery system will allow customers to use their home-generated power — and not expensive grid power — when grid prices spike.

Many commercial customers already buy power this way, and Tesla also announced battery systems designed for them, along with bigger battery packs that utilities can use to manage their grids. Analysts say these utility and commercial markets will probably be more promising for Tesla during the next few years than residential customers.

Several businesses, including Amazon.com and Target, plan to use Tesla’s battery storage system on a limited basis.

Southern California Edison already is using Tesla batteries to store energy.

Tesla is building a factory in Nevada that will begin churning out batteries in 2017, so Musk needs to begin drumming up customers now. The spotlight may help Musk push policymakers and utilities to consider reshaping regulations so solar and battery storage could be more easily incorporated into the larger electric system, Kann said.

Tesla’s ambitions already have intrigued homeowners like Mike Thielen, who installed a prototype with SolarCity panels on his Redondo Beach, Calif., home last year.

Although he hasn’t needed the backup power yet, he has embraced the concept.

“I think it’s brilliant,” he said. “I would consider upgrading to a more powerful home battery if they could igure out a way to get me totally of the grid.”

St. Louis — The two 3-by-1-inch glass chips held the unfathomable amount of genetic information contained in 16 human genomes. Last week, a technician placed the chips — called low cells — in a new genetic sequencing machine at the Genome Institute at Washington University and closed the door.

In three days, the task will be complete.

It’s mind-boggling given it took scientists working all over the world more than 10 years and $1 billion to irst sequence the human genome, a feat declared complete in 2003.

This ultra-fast sequencing machine, which hit the market last year, is sold in groups of 10 — a system capable of sequencing 18,000 human genomes a year at just $1,000 to $1,500 per genome.

Washington University’s Genome Institute is receiving its 10th HiSeq X machine, each one costing $1 million.

The massive increase in speed and drop in cost of sequencing allows scientists to take on studies of unprecedented scale, which is necessary to make the conclusions and discoveries about human disease that doctors can put into practice with personalized treatments.

“We have an opportunity to push genomics into the clinic and understand what causes disease and ultimately learn how to predict disease,” said Rick Wilson, director of the Genome Institute.

What in our genes causes us to have arthritis, diabetes or a cancer that doesn’t respond to treatment? To uncover the answers in the 6 billion bases of DNA that make up the human genome requires sequencing populations.

“If you have 10,000 people with Alzheimer’s and 10,000 people who never, never showed signs of the disease, the idea is that you could sequence both those groups and learn something about Alzheimer’s,” Wilson explained.

“Because every human is different from every other human, you can’t do that with just ive people with Alzheimer’s and ive people without.

You won’t have enough data to pinpoint the diferences.”

The $10 million price also ensures that only institutions equipped with the expertise to decipher and store the data are sitting at the high-stakes poker table of genomics. The Genome Institute is one of seven laboratories in the U.S. that have the HiSeq X Ten and one of 20 worldwide.

The Genome Institute was a key player in the Human Genome Project, contributing 25 percent of the blueprint, and quadrupling the speed of sequencing by developing a way to identify the four bases that make up DNA with luorescent dye and lasers. In 2008, the institute was the irst to sequence the cancer genome of a leukemia patient and since has sequenced 750 pediatric cancer patients, leading to discoveries in 22 types of cancer.

Community FAITH

GBC hosts annual Marketplace Summit

By Beth Reed Special to The Weekly

Germantown Baptist Church recently hosted the second annual Missional Marketplace Summit. The Summit brought together leaders and experts from various market sectors.

The purpose of the summit is to equip men and women toward a greater expression of faith in the marketplace.

The summit commenced with keynote speaker, Todd Starnes.

Starnes, the award winning host of Fox News &

Commentary, shared his passion for religious liberty in America. Starnes was followed by Keith Norman, who serves as vice president of Government Afairs for Baptist Memorial Health Care. Norman delivered a wonderfully inspiring message to summit attendees.

Each attendee was encouraged to embrace the reality of being “the right person at the right time.�

The entire weekend was illed with motivational and practical messages from both business leaders and pastoral leaders. As a gift

to the community, GBC has ofered each session online at missionalmarketplace. com. Feel free to visit the website, peruse the topics and download any topics of particular interest.

The newest feature of the annual conference was a marketplace shopping experience. Various handcrafted items from across the globe were ofered for sale. Proceeds from the sales are poured back in to international mission endeavors.

Beth Reed is director of women’s ministry at Germantown Baptist Church.
