An engineering study presented to Germantown city oicials on Monday recommends not reactivating the red light enforcement cameras at three intersections, but to consider adding them at three others. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen and city administrators held a work session to hear a presentation from design consulting irm KimleyHorn. The city has cameras installed, although not functioning, at the intersections of Poplar and Germantown, Poplar and Farmington, and Wolf River Boulevard and Germantown. The study recommended adding cameras at Poplar and Kimbrough, at Farmington and Germantown, and after Whole Foods is built, at Poplar and Exeter. James Collins of KimleyHorn said reactivating the existing cameras would not help cut down on accidents in those areas because most people driving through the area already assume the cameras are working. “It appears from what we can see from the data, the beneit has already been realized,” Collins said. “The public is blufed into thinking they’re still there.” State law requires a city to conduct an engineering study before installing traffic-enforcement cameras. The study cost Germantown $30,100. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said previously that See CAMErAS, 2

His replacement will be named July 30. Officially, he retired at the annual Christian Methodist Episcopal conference in July 2010. But at that conference, the bishop asked him to immediately to take over at St. James, which was struggling to stay a loat as its supply — or transitional — pastor.

Police detail circumstances of veteran’s death Report says Davis aimed rifle at cops The Commercial Appeal

When oicers found 24-yearold Justin Neil Davis, a veteran they’d been told was suicidal, he was sitting in a black Dodge Charger sipping on a beer, smoking a cigarette and iddling with a rile, according to a Germantown police report. The newly released report ofered details about the inal 15

minutes of Davis’ life in Cameron Brown Park the night of July 15, as police tried in vain to ind a “peaceful resolution” to what became a standof with a vet they’d been told sufered from post-traumatic stress disorder. Members of GPD’s Crisis Intervention Team got to the park at 9:50 p.m. but, despite their attempt to talk with Davis over a loudspeaker and by cellphone, he threatened to shoot at them and “made statements about killing himself.” He asked them to turn of their bright lights.

Then Davis pointed the barrel of the rile out the passenger side window toward police. Three oficers opened ire, hitting Davis mulJustin tiple times. When the am- Davis bulance got to the park at 10:05 p.m., he was dead. Davis, a veteran of the Kentucky National Guard, had served two tours in Iraq, the most recent ending in 2012, ac-

cording to records. Spokesman David Altom said Davis was a vehicle mechanic in the infantry and was deployed from June 2011 to February 2012, in addition to a four-month deployment in 2010. Altom said that during the second deployment, the unit was charged with assisting in the withdrawal of U.S. troops and equipment. The unit saw minimal combat and did not suffer any fatalities. Altom cautioned against making assumptions about how a de-

ployment, even without combat, can afect a soldier. Before his fatal encounter with police, Davis struggled with alcohol abuse and was released from a 30-day rehabilitation program in September, according to divorce papers iled by his wife in October. His father, a Navy veteran, died in February. By March, Davis was without a job. Fellow veteran and Houston High School classmate McNeal Vallandinghan said Davis suffered from PTSD and took medication to help him sleep.

PURHAM

In brief

from 1 Collierville was among those who became more involved because of Purham’s hands-on example. When he preaches, Walker said, “He has a voice that makes you want to listen and think..” Explained Purham,“In working with people, I’ve found that if you can help them meet a need, it is easier for them to identify with you.” About 75 to 80 members regularly attend the red brick church with a cemetery in back. The church is in a modest neighborhood at 569 Harris just of the now construction-laden U.S. 72. The oldest male of 11 siblings, Purham grew up in Covington in Tipton County. He married his high school sweetheart, Mary Barbee, on Christmas Day after graduating from high school in 1955. The son of a ministerfarmer and a homemaker, Purham and his wife, who is a retired Memphis City schoolteacher, raised seven children. “I realized you aren’t going to make much money pastoring a church,” Purham said. Over the years he’s made and sold furniture, run an ice cream cart, taught college courses and bought rental property, which he manages. “I’m my own maintenance man,” he admitted. He earned his undergraduate degree in religion and psychology at Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee, and received his theological training at Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta. He later taught classes at Lane and served as a trustee at both Lane and ITC. Purham lives in Raleigh, plans on staying active after retiring. The city of Memphis just renewed his contract for its Grass Mitigation Services program that helps clean up blighted properties. Purham supervises and works with his crew of ive young men who have been unable to get jobs because of their past felony records.

CAMERAS from 1 the city’s contract with the vendor expired in 2012, and it was not renewed while two of the three intersections were under heavy construction. Collins said enforcement cameras at intersections reduce right-angle crashes by 26 percent but increase rear-end crashes by 18 percent. From a inancial standpoint, rightangle crashes are on average more expensive, Collins said, from medical bills to vehicle repairs. Another advantage, he said, is that police oicers don’t have to risk crossing intersections to go after red-light ofenders. “It’s manpower intensive and it’s a very dangerous way of doing it,” he said. Lawton said the enforcement program, which includes a police oicer who reviews the video to approve every ticket issued, pays for itself with the ticket fees. By city ordinance, the money can only be used for the enforcement program or educational programs. He said the city has already sought bids, and the next step will be for the administration to make a recommendation to the board.

Darrin Devault, coordinator of the online journalism program at the University of Memphis, and Tom Graves, an author and assistant professor of English at LeMoyne-Owen College, have ventured into e-book publishing to resurrect overlooked classics by such authors as J.D. Salinger.

Under the radar Memphis entrepreneurs establish e-book business for classics By John Beifuss beifuss@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2394

When “Crossroads: The Life and Afterlife of Robert Johnson” appeared in 2008, Memphis author Tom Graves wasn’t entirely happy with the launch of his painstakingly researched book about the mysterious Mississippi blues legend. The book appeared in a nice trade paperback edition, but “the publisher didn’t want to fool with e-books, so I knew that was a revenue stream I was missing,” Graves said. When the rights to “Crossroads” converted back to the author, Graves decided to put out his own electronic book edition, to be purchased and downloaded on e-book devices such as the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook. Electronic books have revolutionized the U.S. publishing industry, eating away at sales of traditional books but also opening up business opportunities for enterprising authors. Sales of print books have shrunk 8 percent since 2008, but overall book sales have jumped 14 percent, thanks to e-books. Now the 60-year-old English professor is two years into a new entrepreneurial line — electronic publishing. “I learned everything there was about doing an e-book,” Graves said. He even recorded himself reading “Crossroads” for a downloadable audio edition. “I said, ‘Nobody’s going to make a penny out of this book but me.’ ” The experience helped inspire the literatureloving Graves — an assistant professor of English at LeMoyne-Owen College in Memphis — to give new life to other forgotten, overlooked and out-of-print books. He and friend Darrin Devault launched the Devault-Graves Agency, a publishing business in Graves’ Midtown home specializing in e-books. The company’s business model includes negotiating with authors who have regained the rights to their books as well as mining the public domain for overlooked classics available due to what Graves calls the “vagaries” of copyright law. The two-year-old agency had a coming-out party of sorts on July 16 at The Booksellers at Laurelwood, where Devault and Graves discussed

their eforts and ofered copies of their most highproile release to date, “Three Early Stories” by J.D. Salinger. The slim paperback returns to print three littleknown stories by the author of “The Catcher in the Rye.” Not coincidentally, Wednesday is the anniversary of the 1951 release of “Rye,” an instant classic published by Little, Brown and Co. that never has gone out of print. “Three Early Stories” is Devault-Graves Agency’s irst traditionally published physical book (complete with new illustrations by former Memphian Anna Rose Yoken). Also available as an e-book and audio book, it joins a small but impressively curated catalog of e-books that includes such titles as “Big Sur” by Jack Kerouac; three once best-selling volumes of celebrity proiles by New York entertainment reporter and movie critic Rex Reed and noir iction by such genre masters as Jim Thompson and David Goodis. Devault, 48, coordinator of the online journalism program at the University of Memphis, said the company’s goal is for each book to pay for itself in one to two years. The initial investment for each title includes research and design, plus contracting with the BookBaby e-book company, which distributes titles to Amazon and other online retailers. Many companies ofer e-book editions of such public-domain classics as “The War of the Worlds” and “Pride and Prejudice,” often in shoddily edited or ugly downloads. Devault said his company is dedicated to inding more elusive books and presenting them in attractive editions, with Graves the “bird dog” who braves the thickets of U.S. copyright law to snif out worthy material available for reprint. The reclusive Salinger, who died in 2010 at 91, published 21 stories before he inally broke into The New Yorker. He regained the rights to most of them and never allowed them to be republished, considering them inferior to his later output. However, “three of them fell between the cracks,” Graves said. “Would Salinger be angry with us?” Graves asked. “Well, yeah, he’d say, ‘I never wanted those stories to be out.’ But that’s wishful thinking. He was an important author with a voice that had a sort of great American vibe, and all of his work needs to be out there.”

A resolution urging the city of Germantown to release $273,080 to the Germantown Community Television Foundation failed to get approval from the County Commission on Monday. The resolution was sponsored by commission chairman James Harvey and was intended to get the city to release funds intended for the 2013-2014 school year. Foundation officials said the funds were owed to pay for expenses associated with the Germantown High School television station. However, Germantown city oicials have said they are not releasing the funds, blaming Shelby County Schools’ failure to follow through on an agreement.

Election COUNTY ASSESSOR

SHELBY COUNTY MAYORAL CAMPAIGN

Luttrell, Malone focus on face-toface, grass-roots campaigning

Johnson faces two challengers for assessor

It was standing room only at Mark Luttrell’s campaign headquarters in a small shopping strip on South Yates shortly after 9 one recent Saturday morning when the county mayor delivered a pep talk to a couple dozen volunteers. “You don’t win campaigns with signs,” he told the group. “You win it by going out, asking for votes.” That’s precisely what he was about to do. Luttrell would take a crew to Whitehaven. Another would leave soon for Midtown. Those who remained behind manned phones on two rows of folding tables. White T-shirt-wearing volunteers sat around what looked like a family’s old dinner table. A half-hour earlier, Luttrell’s opponent, Democratic nominee Deidre Malone, had pulled out of the driveway of her Midtown home into the soupy mid-July air. In a two-hour slice of her day a few hours later, she would duck her head into doors in a shopping center on Millbranch, speak to a group of irst-time homebuyers, knock on doors and take the mic for a quick pitch at a union picnic. “Democrats win when we get out and vote,” she told the group. Voting started Friday, when the irst early ballots were cast at a Downtown location. It spread to 20 satellite locations across the county on Monday. On Aug. 7, residents will cast the inal votes in what has been called the biggest ballot in the county’s history — a full eight pages long in sample form. Luttrell and Malone appeared at a candidate forum at a Lakeland church July 10, and allowed a reporter and photographer for The Commercial Appeal to tag along July 12 for a glimpse at two candidates heading for the Aug. 7 inish line in the race for the county’s top job.

Candidates: Cheyenne Johnson, the incumbent Democrat; Keith Alexander, Republican; John Bogan, Independent What the assessor does: The assessor of property is in charge of appraising taxable property and heading up a reappraisal of property across Shelby County every four years. The assessor keeps a database online that allows the public to search and compare Cheyenne property informa- Johnson tion by address, owner name, business or parcel number. Salary: $108,617

Taking it to the streets

BEING MORE SPECIFIC Malone had a message for a few dozen people gathered at a home mortgage seminar at a tired oice building on Airways, and it was one she would repeat with variations over the next couple of hours. “I’m the Democrat in the race,” she said. “Mark Luttrell is the Republican.” Malone is more in-yourface than Luttrell; it comes with the challenger’s role. While Luttrell greeted voters with a smile and an introduction, Malone shared some bullet-points: She spent eight years on the County Commission, served as budget chairman, owns a small business, used to work at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“You don’t win campaigns with signs. You win it by going out, asking for votes,” said County Mayor Mark Luttrell, whose door-to-door canvass includes a stop at the Whitehaven home of Tisheica Jamison Smoot and her daughter, Aariel Smoot, 1.

About the candidates: Johnson,

priorities are jobs — “good jobs,” she was quick to add — and fully funding education. Walking between houses a bit later, she noted that she — not the former sherif — had been endorsed by the Shelby County Deputy Sherif’s Association. “Wonder what Luttrell thinks about that?” she asked. Malone, 51, sought the Democratic nomination in 2010 but lost to Joe Ford in the primary. If she were to win this year, she would be the irst elected female mayor in county history. She didn’t stress that angle in her pitches to voters that day, though. At Renee’s Hair Salon on Millbranch, as the Malone team headed toward lunch at Uncle Lou’s a few doors down, Malone clasped hands and shared an extended conversation with Loreane Williams, the shop’s manager. Williams was familiar with Malone, liking what she had heard from her in the news. She plans to vote for Malone, and told her that. And that she could be the first female mayor? “That doesn’t make any diference at all,” Williams said.

ASKING ‘THE OLDFASHIONED WAY’ Luttrell, campaign chairman Cary Vaughn and political consultant Adam Nickas loaded into the mayor’s red Ford F-150 truck — with a giant American lag sticker on the tailgate — and looped around Interstate 240 toward Whitehaven. The destination was the Bluebird Lane home of a supporter, where Luttrell made small talk while water bottles were passed out. Despite the hospitality, this was a road game for the Republican incumbent. In 2010, the precinct that contains the front doors Luttrell would knock on went 90-10 for his opponent Ford, a 1,203-to-135 trouncing. The two-term sherif won the whole county, though, by almost 30,000 votes. Luttrell said he tries to split his canvassing eforts — that’s campaign-speak for knocking on doors and leaving cards — 50-50 between areas he considers his base and areas where he’s probably at a disadvantage. On this morning, he wore a blue Memphis Tigers cap, green cargo pants and a

white T-shirt with his campaign logo — which was soaked with sweat within an hour. The irst door he knocked on belonged to Art Gilliam, owner of WLOK-AM. He told Gilliam this was is his irst stop. “Well, you’re up, 1-0,” Gilliam said, and they laughed. Luttrell, 67, is a tall man with long legs; he used them to glide down the street with the speed at which others might run. Many people weren’t home this morning. The mayor waited spent about 10 seconds after ringing a doorbell, to see if someone will answer, then left his card in the door if not no one answered. He’s at ease with this part of campaigning; he said it’s equal parts good exercise and a good way to stay in touch with the people he represents. “Good morning, may I introduce myself?” he asked one person who opened a door. “I’m out asking for votes the old-fashioned way.” But Luttrell has used the newfangled way, too. He spent more than $200,000 on television advertisements in April, May and June.

58, has been Shelby County assessor since 2008. She was Keith re-elected in 2012. Alexander Before she became assessor, she was chief administrator of the assessor’s oice. Alexander, 63, is an attorney with experience in real estate law. He ran for General Sessions judge John Bogan in 2006. Bogan, 70, is an appraiser in the assessor’s office and a retired Navy commander. He ran two previous campaigns for the assessor’s job. Johnson’s top issues: Johnson said voters can expect a fair and equitable property assessment and appeals process if she is reelected. “I promise to give them the most professional service possible,” she said. “When they come into the office or if they make any type of contact with the office, I will ensure them regardless of where they live, be it North Memphis, South Memphis, East Memphis, Germantown or Arlington, everybody will be served with the same level of respect and be given the same level of professional courtesy.” Alexander’s top issues: Alexander said the current property appraisal process in Shelby County is lawed and residents are being excessively taxed. “This causes Shelby County to either incur the enormous trouble, effort and expense of appealing erroneous property appraisals, or submit to unfairness and overtaxation due to the expense of appeal,” he said. Bogan’s top issues: Bogan said he would run an efficient and accountable office that would save money for taxpayers. He said he aims “to keep millions of dollars from bleeding out of a system that is run without any concern for quality,” he said. “When a system is run on the basis of GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) and no quality control, then this system is utterly inefficient and wastes the taxpayer millions of dollars every year.”

U.S. SENATE

Sen. Lamar Alexander confident, not taking anything for granted By Michael Collins collinsm@shns.com 202-408-2711

LAFOLLETTE, Tenn. — The well-wishers swarm U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander as soon as he walks through the door. “I haven’t seen you in a hundred years!” he says, pumping the hand of a gray-haired man in a navy suit. For the next half-hour, the senator works the room like the seasoned politician he is. There’s lots of handshaking, lots of small talk, and lots of posing for cellphone photos. When he inally takes the microphone at the Campbell County Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner, where the main speaker will be former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Alexander jokes that he’s

like a warm-up act at the Grand Ole Opry. But when he segues to the matter on everyone’s mind — this fall’s elections, speciically, his own bid for a third Senate term — the warmup artist disappears and the skilled campaigner is center stage. “We have an election coming up this November in which we have a chance to have a (Senate) Republican majority,” Alexander says, looking beyond Tennessee’s Aug. 7 primary and casting his race as a piece of a larger political puzzle. “I’d like to be a part of that majority and get our country moving in a more conservative direction,” he continues, making his case for re-election. Then, the big pitch: “If we do our job, then we will have a chance to inish the job and elect a

Republican president of the United States two years later.” A l e xander’s lengthy Lamar political Alexander résumé — 12 years as a senator, eight years as governor, two years as U.S. education secretary, two-time presidential candidate — is paradoxically his strongest selling point and perhaps his biggest liability as he tries to persuade voters to send him back to Washington for another six years. With congressional approval at abysmally low levels, this has been a dificult year for entrenched incumbents. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s loss in Virginia and

U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran’s recent scare in Mississippi have invigorated tea party groups, who are now gunning for Alexander. State Rep. Joe Carr, the most formidable of Alexander’s six Republican primary challengers, has pummeled him relentlessly, arguing the deal-making senator is out of touch and isn’t conservative enough for Tennessee votes. Alexander’s response to Carr’s attacks has been to basically ignore him. He never mentions Carr by name on the campaign trail or in conversations with reporters. He has refused Carr’s calls for a debate, saying at this point in the campaign — early voting started Friday — that putting all seven candidates on a stage and letting them go at each other would not be of much use to voters.

Alexander, 74, doesn’t act like a man who’s worried that his days in oice might soon be over, as tea party activists like to boast. “By all measures, things seem to be in pretty good shape,” the senator said, sizing up his campaign over lunch at Nashville’s Midtown Café, just steps from Music Row. Alexander has good reason to be conident. Polls show him leading Carr and his other Republican challengers. He enters the inal stretch of the campaign with more than $3 million in the bank, while Carr has just under $500,000. What’s more, his decades in Tennessee politics have made him a household name across the state, while Carr remains an unknown igure to many voters, particularly in East Tennessee.

In Sevierville, hamburgers sizzle on the grill and steam rises from a pot of cofee at Frank Allen’s Market and Grill as the lunchtime conversation turns to politics. Alexander is the clear favorite around these parts, where people admire him for standing up to President Barack Obama on health care reform and say he has done a good job of representing the state on most issues. “His past record — he has shown that he is a conservative,” said Joe Woods of Pigeon Forge, a former agriculture extension agent. Don Clasby, an Army retiree, said any doubts he might have had about Alexander being a real conservative were erased when Huckabee ilmed a campaign spot on his behalf.

The town of Collierville is giving its eight municipal schools a little sprucing up before the doors open Aug. 4 by illing pot holes, paving main driveways and mowing the school grounds. In addition, architects are designing plans for renovating the Collierville Historic High School and for demolishing the library and cafeteria building there. In all, the funds totaling $561,500 will come from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cofers rather than the school system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something we had to do. It was something that the BMA (Board of Mayor and Aldermen) wanted to do. The high school parking lot really, really needed to be done as a safety measure and to bring it up to town standards,â&#x20AC;? said Asst. Town Administrator Josh Suddath. The extra pair of helping hands along with the town paying for the work is a plus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This helps with the bottom line,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Russell Dyer, Colliervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief of staf. Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner said the town planned for these expenses all along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those needs have been there for a number of years,â&#x20AC;? he said regarding the deferred maintenance on driveways and parking lots. The board unanimously agreed

YALONDA M. JAMES/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Gary Dees, Jonah Coleman and Justin Wilburn of the Streets and Drainage Division for Collierville Public Services dig up pavement at Sycamore Elementary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in pretty bad shape,â&#x20AC;? Wilburn said.

this week to amend its contract with Standard Construction Co. for repairing and resurfacing parking lots and driveways at all the schools except for townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest campus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Collierville Middle. The cost is not to exceed $155,000. Public Services director Bill Kilp said contract crews, along with public services workers illing in pot holes, can inish the work by Aug. 1. The board also amended its parks mowing contract with Above All Landscape Maintenance and added $44,000 to manage the school grounds maintenance until the irst frost or 12 mowing cycles. In addition, the board hired WALKERarch to do the renovation, demolition and design work

of the Historic High School building for $362,500. The town set aside $2.04 million for the renovation and demolition. So far, only the irst loor of the two-story structure has been given a $175,000 face lift and is now used by most of the municipal schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district staf. Some personnel are working at Collierville and Tara Oaks Elementary schools. The design proposal calls for razing the library and cafeteria building, which was added in the late 1960s so that a new front entrance and atrium can be built in its place facing Poplar. Designers also will prioritize what upgrades are needed for heating, cooling, ire protection, electrical, plumbing and the roof.

A day after Germantown Municipal Schools officials bristled over changes to a shared school bus contract, Collierville Supt. John Aitken said Tuesday that Germantownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns can be resolved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agreement is there. All of us are entering uncertain budgets and enrollments,â&#x20AC;? Aitken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; ... You are going to have things come up and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work it out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that has been happening since January.â&#x20AC;? At a Germantown school board meeting Monday, oicials said the bus contract with Durham Services has not been signed because of a clause Collierville school oicials added regarding inances. District counsel Debra Owen said Collierville demanded that the contract state that any municipal district that makes a change that would afect another district inancially would be responsible for making up the diference. The financial impact would have to be greater than 2.5 percent of the afected districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation budget. The six

suburban school districts in the county will have a uniform contract with Durham, but will each be billed separately. Owen added that the clause was in response to Germantownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to include a line that would guarantee any district could change its number of bell times starting with the 2015-16 school year. If two districts share buses, as Collierville and Germantown will, and one district switched bell times, it would cause the other districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs to go up because they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share as many buses. Both districts will have three bell times when school begins Aug. 4. Germantown Supt. Jason Manuel said the 2.5 percent number means that if Germantown moved to two bell times next year and Collierville didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Germantown would owe Collierville about $90,000. That would be an annual fee if Collierville went multiple years without switching bell times. Manuel said the district could aford it, but he would not advocate doing that. Germantown school board members called the change â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? but Collierville board chairman Mark Hansen said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware that the proposed language was a problem.

GERMANTOWN/SHELBY COUNTY

Schools to retain Germantown name; SCS use of fields agreed By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The three Germantown namesake schools apparently will be able to hang on to their names, at least for now. Germantown and Shelby County Schools are prepared to enter into a one-year agreement for use of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fields without having to change the names of Germantown Elementary, Middle and High schools, oicials from said Tuesday. In its first proposal, Germantown asked Shelby County to change the names of the three schools, which remained in the county system after the formation of the municipal school districts. The idea, Germantown oicials said at the time, was to eliminate confusion between the municipal schools and the namesake schools that will remain with Shelby County. Germantown City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the city decided to drop that part of the agreement after a negative response from SCS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their board had made it clear that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to consider the names as

part of this,â&#x20AC;? Lawton said, adding that the issue could come up again. SCS Supt. Dorsey Hopson announced during a board meeting Tuesday that he had spoken with Germantown oicials and they had formed a one-year agreement that did not include any name changes. A large group of community members representing the three namesake schools came to a Germantown

Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting last month to plead with the administration to let them keep the names of their schools. SCS needs a place for several high school sports, including soccer, which starts in a few weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing is we want to make sure the kids have got a ield to play on,â&#x20AC;? Lawton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get something in place now.â&#x20AC;?

The irst version of the agreement was for two years for some of the ields and ive years for others.

The new proposed agreement would be for one year. After one year, Lawton said, both sides can review

what worked and what didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, and whether the name issue can be resolved.

GERMANTOWN BAPTIST CHURCH

Annual cheer camp teaches life skills By Beth Reed Special to The Weekly

ManRise ministries recently hosted its annual cheer camp at Germantown Baptist Church. Cheerleaders from Kirby, Melrose, Wooddale and the MHEA all participated. Their weekend culminated with an exciting team competition and the presentation of individual awards.

Camp benefitted the cheerleaders on a variety of levels. They received skill and technique training from a talented group of instructors, led by Ashley Reed. They also received self-defense training from Don Dennis. Most importantly, they received life skill and character training from ManRise leader, Sam Bondurant. The ManRise founda-

tion works with area high schools to help teach students character, discipline and faith. In early August, ManRise will host its annual football camp at Germantown Baptist. GBC is delighted to open its facilities to a ministry like ManRise. An investment in students is an investment in the future. Beth Reed is the director of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministry.

at first; in fact, we may deceive ourselves into thinking weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the right road. But we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The Bible is clear: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may be sure that your sin will find you outâ&#x20AC;? (Numbers 32:23). We should never be content to â&#x20AC;&#x153;accept ourselves just as we areâ&#x20AC;? (as you put it). But God does accept us just as we are! He knows all about us, including our sins and our failures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and yet He still loves us and wants to come into our lives to forgive us and change us. And this can happen to you, as you turn to Jesus Christ and invite Him into your life.

other things we do wrong? No, of course not. One reason we need to be concerned about what you call our â&#x20AC;&#x153;shortcomingsâ&#x20AC;? is because they have an impact on others. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m selfish and unconcerned about the needs of others, they will be hurt. If I habitually lie and cheat, others will be hurt. If I ignore my social responsibilities or act immorally, others will be hurt. As the Bible says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of us lives for ourselves aloneâ&#x20AC;? (Romans 14:7).

Home & Garden VEGETABLE GARDENING FRED MORGAN ABOUT TREES

Tools can help detect tree cavities, solutions

PHOTOS BY CHRIS GANG/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

The Bobby Lanier Farm Park in Germantown is open 8 a.m. to noon Tuesday through Saturday. On Thursday’s it reopens from 4-7:30 p.m. for a farmers market.

GROUP EFFORT ‘Garden associates’ get sweat equity in bounty at park garden My irst vegetable garden was such a surprising triumph I thought there was nothing to it. With the help of a friend who is an experienced vegetable gardener, a small urban plot of land that had been neglected and abused as a trash heap (not by us) was tilled, synthetically fertilized and heaped into rows for the garden. My friend probably cringed when he learned I was going to cover it all in black plastic, a technique touted back for its ability to control weeds and hold moisture in the soil. Now we know some its drawbacks too, like heating the soil beyond the comfort level of plants and beneicial microbes in the soil. Beginner’s luck must have been in full force because we harvested more squash than we wanted to eat, lots of eggplant, numerous tomatoes, bountiful basil and some of the most delicious melons I have ever tasted — Crenshaws. Crenshaws are large hybrid cantaloupes with dark green skin that turns yellow when ripe. You don’t have to guess when it’s time to harvest. Since that experience 30 years ago, I have learned a lot more about growing vegetables, mainly from experienced gardeners like Bill Colvard, Carl Wayne Hardeman, Tom Mashour, Chris Cosby and others willing to share their knowledge with me and my readers. So it pains me to report that I just don’t think I’m meant to have another proliic vegetable garden despite following lots of their advice, adding compost to

the soil and even encouraging microbes with Bio-Tone, a fertilizer that is supposed to give seedlings a great start. My teeny suburban vegetable plot looked especially puny after visiting the Bobby Lanier Farm Park in Germantown earlier last week. There I saw tall vines heavy with large green tomatoes, lush muscadine vines, fruitful squash, eggplant, cucumbers, okra, pepper and bean plants and young watermelons and cantaloupes spilling over the walls of some waisthigh planters cultivated by children. I couldn’t resist munching on some peppery nasturtium blooms and arugula leaves. I didn’t worry about washing the veggies before eating them. “We’re all organic here,” said farm park manager Jef Terry. “We don’t use pesticides or herbicides.” For pesky infestations, diatomaceous earth is carefully sprinkled on the soil. When insects come in contact with the sharp fossilized remains of prehistoric crustaceous called diatoms, their bodies are cut and they die of dehydration. Grizzly but efective. Because diatomaceous earth doesn’t discriminate, beneicial insects die from it too. That’s why it is used sparingly

Crops like okra, eggplant, Malabar spinach and beans are now being harvested at Bobby Lanier Farm Park in Germantown.

Old-fashioned ways also work. “We do a lot of bug squishing,” said volunteer Debbie LaChappelle as she demonstrated her technique of rubbing her thumb and two irst ingers together. Because 85 or so volunteers trade their labor for a share in the harvest, the plants stay well picked. The “garden associates” also get to take home fresh eggs from 16 laying hens. Another 28 young chickens will be joining the working lock when they are able. All of the tomatoes at the farm are heirloom varieties, except for a row of Sweet 100s, planted in honor of Terry’s mother-in-law, Lorraine Ferguson, a past president of the Memphis Herb Society who organized our ield trip to the park. “We always had them in our garden to pop in our mouths as we worked,” Ferguson said. I can attest that the sweet little red orbs are impossi-

ble to resist. Asian long beans, both the green and red varieties, will reach about 24 inches. A Chinese volunteer at the farm said they are best when cut into bite-size lengths, sautéed in oil and lightly moistened with soy and oyster sauces. Climbing on a tepee of bamboo supports, Malabar spinach is as pretty as it is tasty with its red stems and deep green leaves. Although no kin to real spinach, the leaves of this hothardy vine can be prepared and eaten as spinach. Arkansas black apples are beginning to ripen in the orchard and some blueberry bushes are maturing in the main garden. The Bobby Lanier Farm Park, which is entered at 2700 Cross Country of Stout Road in Germantown, is open from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesday through Saturday. On Thursday it reopens from 4 to 7:30 p.m. for a farmers market. For more information, call 901-757-7375.

It is not uncommon for large trees on properties to create concern when those trees are both close to buildings, car parking, or people-use areas and at the same time exhibiting holes in the trunk or strange hard growths around the lower trunk and/or root areas. This worry may be elevated when the actual size or nature of the cavity or law is largely unknown. In a time-totime worse case scenario these internal laws are not visible at all, giving no hint or early warning of an impending disaster. What is a homeowner to do to at least minimize the probability of something “sneaking up on him?” One simple and very basic diagnostic tool in the hands of a homeowner is an ordinary department store rubber mallet. It does not take a lot of training to discern the tonal sound diferences made when tapping on solid wood versus that made when similarly tapping on rotted or — worse case again — that made when rapping on a few inches of wood overlaying an internal cavity. Of course it should be said that the “mallet test” will not work nearly so well when the decayed or hollow area is surrounded by a thicker circumference of solid wood. But then in that case, that same thick wall of good wood may make all the diference, making the tree less susceptible to failure in the irst place, internally hollow or not. Though very simple and inexpensive, this mallet test is a good place to start when suspicious areas or spots on important trees are accessible. But also the scope of information to be gained is limited. If results prove positive with this simple irst test, there may be another follow-up diagnostic step remaining in the homeowner’s tool bag. It is the use of a 12-inch long by 1/8-inch diameter drill bit, also available at most hardware stores. This test will produce better results if this bit is full-fluted, rather than with a smooth surface along most of the length of the shank. It is also better if this bit has a brad-point tip. By using a cordless drill and repeatedly drilling slowly and then withdrawing the bit in short half-inch insertions at the suspicious point, the operator can detect, by texture, color and appearance of the material extracted, the difference between good wood and decay.

CURB APPEAL

Shutters add thoughtful detail to home By Melissa Kossler Dutton Associated Press

Although glass and screens have eliminated the practical need for shutters, they’re still popular for decoration. “They add another layer of thoughtful detailing to a house,” said Ted Cleary, a landscape architect in Charlotte, N.C. But to get the right look, you still have to consider function when choosing and hanging shutters. “Beauty in architecture, as with many objects, often stems from seeing a detail that illustrates its purpose,” Cleary said. A pair of shutters can cost anywhere from $100 to more than $1,000. Some tips on choosing the right ones for your home:

SIZE Originally, shutters were used to keep out

weather, noise and animals; when closed, they had to cover the whole window. So shutter size is the most important thing to consider, said Lindsay Daniel, a Charlotte architect, who agrees with Cleary that homeowners must “think function irst, not decoration.” Make sure the shutters meet and completely cover the window opening. Otherwise, she said, the shutter “looks like a stupid afterthought.” This means that shutters don’t work on doublewidth or picture windows, said Richard Taylor, an architect and president of RTA Studio in Dublin, Ohio. “To my eye anyway, it looks ridiculous,” he said. And take care about their shape when hanging shutters on arched win-

dows, Cleary added. “Shutters are perfectly legitimate on arched windows as long as the (closed) shutter covers it,” he said.

MATERIAL Shutters are primarily made of wood, composite material or vinyl. Vinyl shutters are typically mounted directly onto the side of the house, which means they break the rule about looking functional, Taylor said. He prefers wood, which looks the most authentic but does require regular maintenance, or composite products, a low-maintenance alternative. STYLES Louvered shutters, made with horizontally slanted boards, are probably the most common style in America, Cleary said. When shutters served as

the primary window covering, people in hotter climates used louvered ones to allow fresh air into the house. Panel shutters have a traditional look. They are solid pieces that resemble small doors and are often inset with square or rectangle patterns. They were regularly used on Colonial-era homes in New England and were a good against snow and rain. Board and batten shutters are made with three or four vertical boards of the same size connected with narrow horizontal boards. They have a rustic appearance and were often used on country houses or barns. They are the easiest style for do-it-yourselfers to make, Cleary said.

HARDWARE Shutters look best when they are hung as

TIMBERLANE SHUTTERS/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Architects agree that size is the most important consideration when choosing shutters. They say shutters should be wide enough cover the entire window if closed.

though they are going to be opened and closed, Cleary said. That means using hinges and mounting them onto the window casing — not attaching them to the house. Cleary also recommends adding metal tiebacks, sometimes called shutter dogs, to hold open shutters in place. The hardware, including shutter dogs and hinges, can cost up to $100 for a pair of shutters.

BE CONSISTENT Don’t feel you have to put shutters on every window. It’s better to have some windows without shutters than to put them on windows that are too wide for them. Don’t use a shutter on one side of a window where a door or the corner of the house prevents you from adding its mate. Do consider painting shutters the same color as your front door.

A Collierville developer has purchased a 253-acre expanse of farmland with plans for a mixed-use development that includes several hundred residential lots and a commercial area complementing nearby Carriage Crossing. The Crews family, owners of protective equipment maker MCR Safety, earlier this week closed on the $2 million purchase from out-of-town landowners of a tract in the northwest quadrant of Bill Morris Parkway and Houston Levee. “We feel like it’s a property that’s strategically located between Germantown and Collierville. It’s a great location,” said David Gribble, vice president of

Crews Realty. The site probably can accommodate 300 to 400 homes plus a retail center, which probably would be located near where Bailey Station would intersect Houston Levee, he said. The project in Memphis’ second-largest suburb represents one of the region’s largest commercial developments since the 2008 crash. “We know it will be mixed use,” Gribble said. “We have thought about residential and retail and the possibility of a hotel. We haven’t contacted anybody in the hotel business, but we are in the process of doing that.” Crews is working with The Shopping Center Group on attracting regional retailers that wouldn’t directly compete with upscale Carriage Crossing.

Dragons stay up late, capture USSSA Global World Series By Chandler Rome rome@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2365

Heavy rains at the USSSA Global World Series in Gulf Shores, Ala., forced the 9-and-under Collierville Dragons baseball team to play its semifinal game of the tournament at 9 p.m., a game that if the Dragons emerged victorious would send them into the championship final. On the precipice of a title, the group of 9-yearolds paid little mind to the delays and the clock as it slowly ticked past their bedtime and into the morning on Saturday, July 12. “It was such a good baseball game,” Dragons manager Jay Locastro said of the tight 2-1 semifinal win against the Georgiabased Foundation A’s. “Clean baseball, no errors, kids hitting the ball, putting it in play, kids making

plays. The kids managed to stay focused and stay in that one.” “The excitement of winning that one and knowing what they were playing for and being out of town, they were pretty hyped up (for the championship).” The Dragons carried the momentum from the narrow semifinal win for a 12-0 rout of the Houston Bengals in the championship final to claim the World Series championship in a game that ended at nearly 2 a.m. Locastro, along with assistant coaches JJ Zmudzinski, Gary Smith and Patrick McCalla, guided the team through the West Tennessee State Tournament before reaching the World Series in Alabama, where the coaches initially weren’t sure of how their team would fare. “We went down there expecting to be able to

They’re probably more excited than watching college kids win national championships. They were jumping up and down and it’s memories for kids and parents that will last forever.” The four volunteer coaches were rewarded mightily with the championship experience, as each got to spend it coaching their sons. “This will be something as he gets older that becomes really special to him,” Locastro said of the experience with his son, Wyatt, a catcher. “It’s a real bonding point for a dad and son to be able to share an experience like that. “To get that big ol’ hug after the trophy presentation on the field was something.”

Families City of Memphis oicials, I feel your budget pain Kids really do say the darndest things, don’t they? In the 1950s and ’60s, entertainer Art Linkletter built an empire of the silly things issued forth from the mouths of babes. I’ve been saying it in my own way right here in this column for six years. My oldest son, as a toddler, once referred to the plumber my wife had called to the house for a middle-of-the-day emergency as “diferent daddy.” Such a delightful scamp. Linkletter had other grand ideas beyond asking earnest questions of unassuming children. In 1960, he, along with business partner Clyde Vandenburg, proposed a redevelopment of the Mid-South Fairgrounds to include

such amenities as a new arena and a 700-foot-long lagoon to stretch along East Parkway. Of that plan, the Mid-South Coliseum was the only feature to see the light of day. Recently, the city loated a plan for a Tourism Development Zone in and around the Fairgrounds in an efort to pay for redevelopment of the property. The city is also grappling with ways to pay for the pensions and beneits of ireighters and police oficers.

I don’t claim to have all — or any — of the answers to such issues. Nor do I have any plans as outlandish as a Memphis blues lagoon. I have my own issues at home with budgeting the cost of four children who continually redevelop the landscape of my days and bank account. Among these kids is an 8-year-old daughter who doesn’t yet have a job or a pension. Occasionally, though, she’ll complete a chore around the house and, once inished, will then tell me how much I owe her. And with Genevieve, there are no negotiations. She recently presented me with an invoice — an actual paper bill — for having rolled the garbage can to the curb for pickup. According to her cryptic

handwriting, she’s owed fees in the amount of $10 for the weight of the can and $5 for the “stink.” Despite already being charged for the odor, she tacked on $20 because she had to hold her breath. There is a $100 balance that has been carried forward; from what, I have no idea. In all, I owe this child who lives in my house and eats my food $135, essentially for walking 20 yards down the driveway. I think she may be on to something. Fiscal matters matter, even to children. They won’t stay kids forever, and the things they say and do won’t be all that cute, or profitable, for too long. They need to be taught early about budgets and bank accounts and the

dangers of overextending oneself. One day, Genevieve will need to manage her own pension and may even, heaven help us, administer that of an entire city’s worth of employees. When that day comes, she’ll need to know how to spend wisely and when to save. These darned kids will have to understand when it’s imprudent to purchase a new televi-

sion or car, and that it’s good business to honor all promises of payment. And they’ll want to know when to prioritize the cost of a plumber over a new lagoon. Richard J.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

If toddler pulls hair out, cut it short By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

our daughter, Q Since now 2-years-old, was

born we have lived with my parents. Being the irst and only grandchild, she has been the center of attention. Several months ago, our son was born, and we moved into our own home. Almost immediately, our daughter began pulling her hair out, sometimes in handfuls. Doctors have said she does it for attention and we should ignore it. That’s what we’ve done but it has not stopped. It’s now gotten so bad that I’ve cut her hair because the side she pulls has gotten so short. I just don’t know what to do.

Meals are hectic as Charonne Ganiere (center) solicits helps from her children while preparing dinner for her family, which includes three foster children.

Religious families find calling to foster, mentor children By Annysa Johnson Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — Charonne and Kevin Ganiere never pictured themselves as foster parents. They’d always talked about adopting, maybe when their two small sons were older. But they couldn’t envision bringing children into their lives, loving them as their own and then letting them go — back to their biological parents or an adoptive family. It just seemed too painful. That was then. Today, the Ganieres are parents to ive children younger than 10, including three toddlers welcomed through the local foster care system, with no guarantees that they will be able to adopt them. Devout Christians, the Germantown, Wis., couple sees their change of heart as divinely inspired. Now they’ve launched a ledgling nonproit aimed at encouraging more Christians to open their hearts and homes to children in temporary need of families and helping churches support their members who do so. “There are a lot of kids in the greater Milwaukee area in need of a good, Christian home,” said Charonne, who with husband Kevin is dual-licensed to take children both preapproved for adoption and those who are not. “As we started going through the process, it just stirred our hearts to the greater need,” she said. The Ganieres are founders of OneHope27, named for a Biblical passage that exhorts

Christians to care for widows and orphans. Theirs, and similar initiatives around the world, are part of the larger so-called orphan care movement that has exploded in some Christian circles over the past two decades. That movement had been dominated for years by international adoptions. However, that has waned as criticisms arose about corruption, the traicking of children not truly orphaned and other concerns, and countries imposing tighter restrictions. As international adoptions declined from a peak of 24,000 in 2004 to 9,000 last year, many Christian organizations turned their attention to children in their home countries. “In terms of foster care, there has always been a Christian presence but what we’re seeing now is a signiicant growth in the engagement of ordinary Christians in fostering, fostering-to-adopt, mentoring and family preservation,” said Jedd Mediind, president of the Christian Alliance for Orphans. Advocates believe that good people with the right motives and proper training can help improve the lives of children and families in their own communities. “We’ve seen through Charonne and our other faith-based recruiters that there are a lot of great families out there,” said Laura Goba of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Community Services, an agency that licenses foster families. “It’s not about being a savior to these kids. It’s about supporting the children and their

FOSTER FAMILIES NEEDED IN SHELBY CO. Youth Villages, a nonproit organization helping children with emotional and behavioral troubles, is in great need of foster homes in Shelby County, especially for siblings and teenagers. “We get phone calls just about every day about children needing homes,” said recruiter Genesha Dorris. “If we can ind homes that can take the sibling groups so we don’t have to separate them, that’s ideal.” There were more than 900 children in state custody in Shelby County at the end of June, according to the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services. Youth Villages is looking for foster parents who are Tennessee residents over 25-years-old. They should have a sustainable income, transportation and be able to pass a background check and home study. “Youth Villages provides foster parents with 24-hour access to counselors, support groups and a monthly stipend to ofset the cost of adding a child to the home,” according to the organization. “Foster parents also often have the irst right to adopt if the child becomes available for adoption.” — Katie Fretland, fretland@commercialappeal.com

families,” said Goba, whose agency is collaborating with OneHope27 on its recruitment eforts. At any one time, Milwaukee County has about 2,000 children in foster care, with fewer than 700 licensed foster families. Across the state, some 6,000 children are in temporary need of care. The Ganieres, who attend Life Church in Germantown, are piloting the program there and at two other sites — The Ridge Community Church in Greenield and Christ Church in Mequon. And they’ve compiled a list of about 25 other candidates, churches that have 30 or more foster families already in their pews. The program will difer depending on the site, but it might include informational sessions for families exploring the possibility of foster care, get-togethers for foster families and their children, meal programs, clothing banks or other initiatives that would be helpful to foster families. “Not everybody can foster a child. But everyone can

do something,” said Ganiere, “whether that is a meal when a family gets a new placement, supplies or clothing donations, or just someone to talk to when kids are running around screaming and you need some sanity.” Families that are licensed to accept children in foster care are limited in just how much religious inluence they can exert. Judges and placement agencies go out of their way to place children raised in a particular tradition with a family that holds similar beliefs. Likewise, foster parents are prohibited from forcing their religion on children they bring into their homes. The Ganieres understand that and say it’s not about strong-armed conversions but sharing the love of Christ whether that child embraces it or not. “Children who come into foster care are there often because of abuse and neglect, and I can’t think of anybody who needs love and hope more than they do,” Ganiere said.

by the handfuls as a means of seeking attention is unveriiable. It’s the sort of thing that professionals say when they have no explanation. Under those circumstances, “she’s doing it (whatever it might be) for attention” becomes a default explanation. As such, it’s meaningless and decidedly unhelpful. It’s unhelpful because it implies that something is wrong in the child’s life; that her parents are failing to meet some critical psychological need. The result is a lot of parental guilt and anxiety, neither of which are conducive to solving problems involving child behavior of any sort. Then we come to “just ignore it.” That’s a default recommendation — again, the sort of thing professionals advise when they’re at a loss for advice. The fact is that misbehavior of any sort is very dificult to ignore. It’s harder still to ignore a child who is causing herself harm. Then, when attempts to ignore don’t work (as in your situation), the parents are likely to begin exaggerating the psychological signiicance of the problem. The result is more guilt and more anxiety. The simple explanation for your daughter’s hairpulling is “children do odd things, and odd things are more likely when lots of change is taking place in a child’s life.” In short order, you moved from one home to another and a second child was born. That’s a lot of change. Maybe there’s a relationship between all that change and your daughter’s hair-pulling. Maybe there isn’t. Who knows? Furthermore, why does one need to know? You said you don’t know what to do, but you’ve already done it: cut her hair. Cut it so short she has nothing to grab and yank.

A mural by Ruben Aguirre decorates Simone’s Bar in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood three miles southwest of Chicago’s downtown. The neighborhood is rich with local art and culture.

Cultural community In Chicago, Pilsen neighborhood broadens its palate By Ceil Miller Bouchet

PILSEN IN CHICAGO

Special To The Washington Post

utside Thalia Hall, the most happening new spot in Chicago’s emerging Pilsen neighborhood, I do a double take. It’s a freezing night, and there’s a small woman with a guitar slung over her back standing in the recess of a doorway. “Come into my oice,” she beckons, so I do. She tells me that her name is Kez Ban, and would I like to hear her play? “This is the song I used to audition for ‘American Idol,’ ” she says, stepping out onto the sidewalk across from St. Procopius Church, the opulent brick heart of this Latino community. She begins strumming her guitar. I listen in disbelief as the husky melody spills out of her mouth. A South Asian man who says that his name is Girsh walks by and smiles. “She’s fantastic,” he says. “Did you know she was on ‘American Idol’? You should get her CD.”

A decade ago, unless you were a fan of authentic mom-and-pop Mexican cuisine, a pilgrimage to Chicago’s National Museum of Mexican Art was practically the only reason a “Northsider” like me would trek down to Pilsen, the gritty community three miles southwest of Chicago’s downtown. In fact, the last time I visited Chicago’s Mexican enclave, my kids were small, and we spent an enjoyable afternoon at the pocket-size museum in a former boathouse. Since then, the museum, the neighborhood and my kids have evolved. Today, my 18-year-old son could be one of the lanky guys in knit caps visiting the crop of new Pilsen art galleries on the monthly “2nd Friday” nocturnal gallery crawls. My 16-year-old daughter awaits the “House on Mango Street” exhibit, based on the beloved book by Chicago-born author Sandra Cisneros, that opens next January at the expanded National Museum of Mexican Art, now a renowned center for Mexican and Mexican-American art and culture. And, well, my husband and I drive down for Thalia Hall, where you can sip a punch cocktail in the ‘80s throwback basement bar, eat a succulent tagine baked in the ground-loor restaurant’s wood-ired oven and, as of May, enjoy live music upstairs (I vote for “American Idol’s” Kez Ban; she’s just outside!), all in one gorgeously restored 19th century limestone building that

Chicago’s Mexican-American community is an emerging scene of culture and culinary hot spots like Dusek’s, where daily specials can include anything from “Kentucky-fried quail” to “foie gras cornbread.” The most happening new spot in Chicago’s emerging Pilsen neighborhood is Thalia Hall, where you can sip a cocktail in the throwback basement bar, dine in a ground-floor restaurant and enjoy live music upstairs.

was originally built as a Czech community social hall. Dat’s Chicago for you. Or, rather, así es Pilsen, which, as I learned on recent visits to Chicago’s latest gentrifying neighborhood, is home to one of the largest Mexican communities in the United States. And before Mexicans, the area hosted Czech and Slovak immigrants. Hence the Pilsen moniker. Today, a stroll through the neighborhood brings a wondrous sense of cultural whiplash, both artistic and culinary. “Hope, Respect, Jobs, Dignidad.” Proud heritage is trumpeted from murals splashed on the walls of brick twolats near the museum and from street art such as the lovely rendering of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos that I spot painted on a locked metal door along 18th Street between Western and Halsted, the community’s commercial epicenter. Farther east along 18th, cars are parked two deep in front of Carnitas Don Pedro. Five patrons wait patiently in line by the restaurant’s sidewalk stand for the best taco in the neighborhood, or so I’ve been told, where “you can get, like, a pound of roast pork and tortillas, fantastically delicious, for $6.50!” The person who shared this taco tidbit, Jared Rouben, is a good authority, a new Pilsen resident and business owner who recently opened a craft brewery called the Moody Tongue. I meet Rouben, who was formerly head brew-

master at Chicago’s Goose Island Brewery, one Sunday morning at the Pilsen farmers market. He’s hovering over the homemade organic salsas at Yvolina’s Tamales stand. “These are great salsas,” he says before asking, “Have you been to the chicken place?” Yes, in fact, I have. On a previous visit to 18th Street, I’d followed my nose, drawn to Pollo Express by the rich aroma of charred chicken and smoky spices. Inside, I found a long, narrow room with a few bare tables and 25 plump birds, split and splayed and sizzling away on the charcoal grill across the counter. Down the street, murals cover the outer brick walls of Simone’s Bar. Inside, Simone’s new “Art Lab” curator, Jessica Gorse, tells me that the murals are by Chicago artist Ruben Aguirre and that she’s hoping to feature Chicago’s vibrant urban art in an upcoming show. Creativity thrives here, especially on the second Friday of each month, between 6 and 10 p.m., when most small businesses — plus studios and galleries — stay open late, and one section of South Halsted, between 18th Street and South Canalport Avenue, takes on a life of its own. My husband and I met for dinner at Nightwood. In honor of early Pilsenites, many of whom toiled at the now-demolished Chicago Stockyards, we began with pig ears. “You can still see the hair!” my husband noted, as we devoured the crispy morsels glistening

Halsted, a cavernous converted manufacturing space where artists live and work. We found the back stairwell and climbed up to where artist Bryan Sperry, who transforms vintage mannequins into dystopian creatures dripping with found objects, was holding court in his trippy ifth-loor gallery.

Pets GIVING BACK

Dog rescue pairs people with pets By Jeremy C. Park Special to The Weekly

Ask any dog lover if their pet is part of the family and you will get an emphatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely!â&#x20AC;? If you ask my parents, they will proudly share how a dog saved one member of our family. Their adopted Tan Labrador, Max, was a military bomb-sniffing dog, who served four tours of duty and saved my brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life when his unit was ambushed in Afghanistan. Growing up with dogs, having a dog, and knowing a dog saved my brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, I can attest to the power of owning a pet and the bond shared. Unfortunately, not all dogs have

a loving home and many end up abused, abandoned, a nd ne glected. They find themselves Jeremy C. r o a m i n g Park the streets covered in mange, sick, wounded, and scared. The Streetdog Foundation is focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and inding loving, forever homes for stray and abandoned dogs in our Memphis area. Melanie and Kent Paford started the organization several years ago after seeing the need to help these animals.

What started with three rescue dogs and a dream has rapidly grown into an established network with numerous success stories. Streetdog is not a shelter and does not have a facility. They rely on volunteers, foster families, and donations to keep their organization alive. They hold adoption events every Saturday to help ind homes for the animals. Grace Animal Hospital graciously helps with any medical needs. Outside of fostering and adoption, there are many ways to help the Streetdog Foundation, like donating dog food, treats, leashes, and toys. Learn more at streetdogfoundation.com.
