If you run a red light in Germantown, get ready to say cheese — again.

Germantown is planning to bring back red light cameras, City Administrator Patrick Lawton said last Thursday.

Lawton said he plans to bring a recommendation in February to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for a vendor and locations for the cameras.

Lawton made the an-

nouncement to the board during a work session at Elfo’s restaurant. The board had dinner as part of preparation for an allday retreat last Friday. It was advertised as a public meeting.

“We’ve always done it the way it should be done ... not as a revenue enhancement but as a way to cut down accidents,” Lawton said of the city’s traic camera program.

Revenue from tickets goes directly back into running the traic camera program, including paying for the oicer who reviews the footage from each ticket issued. Any leftover funds, by legislative desig-

Karen Ray, executive director of the Collierville Literacy Council for more than 10 years, recently said she will retire in March.

Ray was irst a volunteer tutor for the CLC in 1993. A few years later, she served on the board of directors, and in 1997, she was hired as a staf member. In 2002, Ray became the executive director. Karen During her Ray 20 years with the Literacy Council, there have been many changes.

Originally, the Literacy Council focused on adult basic literacy, but there have been changes and increased diversity in Collierville. To fulill a community need, the CLC expanded its services to include help with English as a Learned Language and GED preparation, which are the most widely used programs.

When Ray began with the Literacy Council, there were less than 100 students a year.

“Last year we served over 500 students,” Ray said. “We are very proud of our capacity to grow and continue to provide good programs for our community.”

In the News SCHOOLS

Germantown to get additional computers Each school to receive 60 Apple laptops

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

The Germantown Municipal School District is spending $390,000 to purchase new computers for all ive schools, pending approval from the school board.

Each school will receive two carts of 30 Apple laptops. River-

dale School also will receive 26 new desktop computers to upgrade its computer lab.

The administration announced the purchases during a work session last Wednesday night. Supt. Jason Manuel said the computers are needed for the schools to be able to comply with the state’s requirement that testing be completely done online next year. Some state testing is already done online.

Manuel said the funds are coming from the state Basic Education Program money. At

the beginning of the new school district, the state estimated Germantown schools would have 5,400 students and gave the school funding based on that number. With enrollment closer to 5,900, the district still receives BEP money for the extra 400 students, but later in the year. Now that the funds are available, Manuel said, they can put it toward the purchases.

He called it a “great use of money.”

“That’s real impact,” Manuel said.

Technology curriculum coordinator Mason Grace said the carts each cost about $30,000.

That works out to about $900 per laptop, plus the cart, which is a discounted rate because it’s a bulk educational purchase.

Grace said the additional computers move the district closer to a goal of one device per student.

That would mean one laptop cart for every classroom. The district is still far from that goal, he said, as Farmington Elementary has only ive carts and Dogwood Elementary has four. Some of them

are also several years old.

“We update the operating systems, but at some point, the older computers, the RAM can’t handle the operating system,” Grace said.

The school board will have to approve the purchase at its next regular meeting.

Grace said after the board approves the purchase, it will take at least a month before students can start using the computers.

The goal is to have them in place before social studies testing begins in March.

Ransom nabs coordinator position

Germantown has hired Kristi Ransom as the city’s new marketing and communications coordinator.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton said Ransom reports to Stacey Ewell, the assistant to the city administrator. Ewell has previously been the media contact for the city but her role has changed to include more administrative duties, Lawton said.

The additional position was one the Board of Mayor and Aldermen had noted was a need in the city, he said. Her annual salary is $45,000.

Ransom was previously a marketing specialist for Express Scripts and was the director of development for the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf.

ermantown is seeking options for management of the Germantown Community Library.

The city last week issued a request for bids for library management services, as its contract with Library Systems and Services terminates at the end of June.

While the bid request comes just one month after Collierville decided to terminate its services with the same company to bring the service inhouse, City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the same is not likely for Germantown.

“We’ve been pleased with the services we have from LSSI,” Lawton said.

The company took over managing the library at 1925 Exeter Road in 2004. Lawton said the city looked at bringing the service in-house at that time.

“We have done that analysis, and the recommendation in 2004 was to outsource it,” he said. “We have not had a compelling reason to change that.”

As part of this bid process, the city will do a “cursory review” of what it would take to bring the service in-house, for comparison’s sake, Lawton said.

The contract with LSSI

is worth about $1.2 million.

The city has roughly another $200,000 budgeted for miscellaneous library-related purchases and expenses.

The contract ended in 2009 and was renewed four times, once for three years and three times for one year. The city has exhausted its renewal options.

Last month, Collierville’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously to notify LSSI of a termination of its contract. While the city said it was largely happy with the services LSSI provided, oicials also said there was a high rate of employee turnover.

“That became an area of concern for staf,” Assistant Town Administrator Josh Suddath said at the meeting last month.

He added that the employee wages were low, and just by bringing them into the fold of Collierville town employment, they will automatically see raises of about 10 percent for the eight full-time employees and 15 percent for the 17 part-timers.

Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser said it came down to local control and the possibilities of partnerships between the city library and Collierville Schools.

Collierville’s contract with LSSI was worth $941,315. The termination takes efect July 1.

LSSI also operates the libraries in Millington and Arlington, according to the company’s website.

Arlington Town Recorder Catherine Durant, who is the town’s liaison to the Sam T. Wilson Public Library, said the town’s contract with LSSI is also up June 30. She said the town has begun discussions about what to do when the contract is up but has not made any decision.

“We’re real happy with the services that they ofer,” she said.

Lawton said his staf should have bids returned and a recommendation for the aldermen in March.

Collierville has appointed Charles W. Bell Jr. as its new prosecutor for Collierville Municipal Court.

Bell served more than 20 years with the Tennessee Thirtieth Judiciary District, most recently as the assistant attorney general.

He previously worked as an assistant public defender with the Shelby County Public Defender’s Oice and later served as the assistant attorney general with the Shelby County District Attorney’s Oice.

He began his work with Collierville in December.

In discussions of the city’s legislative agenda for the coming year in Nashville, Lawton said the city will lobby to keep red light cameras legal.

“We think there will be threats to traic cameras

primarily because of the abuse in other local governments,” he said.

An engineering study presented to Germantown city officials in July recommends not reactivating the red light enforcement cameras at the three intersections where they are now mounted, but to consider adding them at three others.

We think there will be threats to traic cameras ... because of the abuse in other local governments.”

Patrick Lawton, city administrator

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 Pop-

lar and Kimbrough, at Farmington and Germantown, and after Whole Foods is built, at Poplar and Exeter.

Consultant James Collins, of Kimley-Horn, said reactivating the existing cameras would not help cut down on accidents in those areas because most people driving through the area assume the cameras are working.

In the News CRIME

Police more visible after third robbery Residents vigilant after robberies

By Samantha Bryson s.bryson@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2339

Germantown police stepped up patrols throughout the city last weekend, eliciting mixed reactions from residents still trying to make sense of the recent rash of robberies in an otherwise peaceful suburb.

For some, the unfamiliar sight of so many squad cars peppered throughout the city ofered a welcome sense of safety after three armed robberies in six days, including the kidnapping of an elderly couple last Friday night.

But the heavy police presence can also be misleading for some residents, who may interpret the squad cars as a sign that something is wrong, according to Germantown Police Lt. Nick Godwin.

“Some rumors loated around about there being another rob-

Germantown Police reports

bery,” Godwin said. “We’ve just answered routine calls, but sometimes what happens is when people see the police presence, they make assumptions.”

A couple in their 70s was robbed at gunpoint in their home late last Friday night, then forced into their car. The suspect told them to drive him to an intersection, where he jumped out of the vehicle.

The irst of the three robberies happened on Jan. 10 a halfmile north of the Nottoway subdivision where last Friday’s

home invasion occurred. In that incident, an elderly woman was robbed at gunpoint in her driveway. Last Tuesday night, another woman was robbed in her garage in her Germantown neighborhood, Poplar Estates.

Although it remains unclear if the suspects followed the victims home, Poplar Estates resident Cathy Robinson said the possibility had her rattled the day after the robbery in her neighborhood.

“The very next day when that happened, I thought someone

was following me home from Kroger,” she said. “I called my husband and said, ‘Come meet me outside.’ Nobody was following me, but my mind … .”

Former Germantown Alderman Greg Marcom is a member of the Poplar Estates homeowners association and has lived most of life in Germantown.

“Germantown is not immune to crime,” he said. “There’s no place that is 100 percent crime free. You have to be aware, and cognizant of what’s going on in your surroundings.”

City to ditch portables, build Riverdale addition

A schematic from architectural firm A2H shows a potential addition for Riverdale School in Germantown that would eliminate the use of portable classrooms behind the school.

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

Plans to remove the 22 portable classrooms at Riverdale School took a tangible step forward last Friday as the Germantown Municipal School District presented a building schematic to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The proposed 49,000-squarefoot addition would have 20 to 25 new classrooms and would cost between $4.9 million and $5.1 million, school board president Lisa Parker said. The building would sit on the current parking lot in front of the existing building.

The city and school oicials held their irst joint retreat last Friday.

Before the school oicials arrived, the city also discussed its own inancial status including a utility fund that is still in the red despite a 30 percent water rate increase last summer.

Supt. Jason Manuel said eliminating the portables at Riverdale is the top long-term planning priority.

A second priority, he said, is a new elementary school on the south side of the city. That project’s price tag would be close to $20 million, Manuel said, and that doesn’t include the land.

Even if Germantown did not allow any students from outside the city to attend its schools, Manuel said, the district does not have enough space to accommodate any

additional growth at the elementary or middle school levels. That remains true even if the district replaces the Riverdale portables with a new building.

Alderman Forrest Owens asked Manuel and Parker whether conversations have continued with Shelby County Schools over the future of Germantown Elementary School.

The school stayed with SCS after the municipal districts formed, but as it sits on the south side of the city, Germantown leaders have long expressed a desire to make it the district’s fourth elementary school. Manuel said he spoke with SCS Supt. Dorsey Hopson before winter break. “He said at this time they’re not ready to discuss that,” Manuel said.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the next step in the longterm planning is to look at the city’s bonding capacity.

The joint retreat was an initiative Mayor Mike Palazzolo promised during his campaign last year. The aldermen used the irst half of the day to discuss several projects and the city’s overall inancial health, in-

cluding an update on the struggling utility fund.

Lawton said even after the 30 percent water rate increase that took efect in July, the fund is still running a deicit. He said the city is not looking at another rate increase, but rather a cut in expenditures. Three or four employees in the utility department will be moved to other service jobs within the city. The city also is looking at restructuring its debt associated with the utility fund.

Before the increase, the city had a $469,000 operating loss in the utility fund at the end of iscal year 2014, Finance Director Ralph Gabb said.

Better eiciency in home plumbing, especially in new construction, has driven down consumption, he said. Conservation is encouraged, which is better for the environment but worse for the utility fund that needs to sell water to break even.

While the city has some reserves in the utility fund, Lawton said the city needs to balance the fund in a sustainable way or the state could interfere and balance it for them in a way out of the city’s control.

As moms and sons began the process of selecting the perfect ball, it became apparent that some of the mom/son teams had set their eyes on one of the gleaming trophies on display, while other teams set more modest goals. However, goals aside, the irst order of business was to have fun.

As pizza, soft drinks, cookies and brownies were being served, the goal to “have fun” was quickly realized.

Area churches open doors for homeless on cold winter nights

T

hose of us who have lived through a normal Memphis summer are familiar with the phrase “hotter than hell.”

This week, I’m looking for a colder-than equivalent.

How about this one? Colder than the locked door of a warm church DAVID on a frigid winter WATERS night.

COLUMNIST On any given cold winter night in Memphis, there are hundreds of homeless men, women and children.

And on any given cold winter night in Memphis, there are hundreds of warm and toasty church buildings that remain locked and empty.

For 18 fortunate souls on a record-cold night Jan. 7, as temperatures dipped dangerously below freezing, one church was open all night.

“This is a lovely but cold winter night, and we are blessed to have you all here as our honored guests,” Lolita Crittendon, a member of Freedom’s Chapel Christian Church, told them as they prepared to say grace before dinner.

Freedom’s Chapel and a dozen other Shelby County congregations are taking turns this winter hosting Room in the Inn every night of the week.

On a recent Friday night, Germantown United Methodist Church and Peace Lutheran Church shared meals and overnight accommodations for two dozen homeless.

Thursday night, members of Our Lady of Perpetual Help helped Germantown United Methodist Church bring 13 men and women out of the cold. Colonial Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which hosted 15 on Tuesday night, opened its doors again and hosted 15 more.

Wednesday night, members of Olivet Fellowship Baptist Church helped members of Freedom’s Chapel feed and shelter 18 homeless men and women.

“There still were folks that couldn’t get in, even though we illed the van twice,” said the Rev. Lisa Anderson, founding director of Room in the Inn. “Adam and Kristie Jefrey opened their restau-

Volunteers Cathy Reineking (left), Elizabeth Orians and Anita Vera serve up dinner plates for guests. On this particular night, the homeless are being housed at a facility on South Germantown Road.

rant, Imagine Vegan Cafe, as a shelter site for ive Room in the Inn guests. If this doesn’t challenge places of worship, I have nothing else for you.”

Anderson started Room in the Inn ive years ago at her church, Colonial Cumberland Presbyterian.

The irst winter, they hosted six homeless every Tuesday night. The next winter, 12. Another congregation heard about it, then another and another.

Last winter, ive congregations provided a Room in the Inn. This winter, there are 13 host congregations — at least one every night of the week.

Thirteen is a lot better than ive. But it’s a lot fewer than 50, which is the number of congregations hosting Room in the Inn in Jackson, Tenn.

Murfreesboro’s Room in the Inn has 70 host congregations. In Nashville, where the program began, there are 180 host congregations.

Anderson isn’t sure why the program has been so slow to catch on in Memphis.

She’s heard that some congregations were unsettled by an arbitrary county zoning code that prohibited places of worship on less than 5 acres from giving overnight accommodations to visitors.

But the code was changed in early 2013. Now any house of worship on any size lot is free to ofer hospitality to any number of strangers.

She’s heard some church leaders wonder about the risk, but in ive years, no participating congregation has reported a problem.

At least two church members volunteer to spend the night and oversee guests, who arrive

about 6 p.m. and depart 6-7 a.m.

“It has been nothing but a blessing to us,” said the Rev. Rosalyn Nichols, pastor of Freedom’s Chapel.

Some wonder about the cost, but the program is run entirely by volunteers who also provide the meal.

“I’m not one to talk about my faith, but there is something about this program that draws volunteers out of their comfort zone and into a fellowship with people they might never meet otherwise,” said Lois Young, who coordinates the program for Trinity United Methodist Church on Tuesday evenings. “It is a spiritual experience on a whole new level.”

Some wonder about the hassle, but Manna House manages the daily sign-up sheet and drawing for available spots.

Anderson, who works alone and without a salary, usually arranges transportation. More often than not, she does it herself. City Wide Cab provides free transportation on Wednesday nights.

“This isn’t about solving homelessness. This isn’t about making people comfortable,” Anderson said. “This is about saving lives in houses of worship that are already being heated and that claim to be houses of hospitality for strangers.

“We can do more. We just need more space.”In a community of churches, space shouldn’t be a problem.

Schools EDUCATION

Germantown sets early transfer window Transfer enrollment runs Jan. 27-Feb. 13

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

The Germantown Municipal School District will hold open enrollment for transfer students from Tuesday to Feb. 13, an earlier time period than last year in an efort to compete with private schools.

The administration announced the dates at a work session last Wednesday. Students who live outside of Germantown who want to attend

one of the ive schools next year and those who live in the city but wish to attend a school outside their zone will need to ill out an application online. A student who was accepted as a transfer for the current school year does not have to reapply to stay at the same school. If a current student, however, is in an exit grade at a school and wishes to stay in the district at the next level, he or she will need to apply.

The district is also revising its transfer policy to amend the priority list for who is accepted.

The previous policy included a tier for students whose school was changed by rezoning after the municipal district formed.

No zones have changed this year, so the line will be removed. The amended policy also grants a high priority to students in a new program set to start next year called Leadership Academy, which for transfer will be treated equally with Honors Academy. The policy will also include a line about out-of-state residents being last on the priority list to be admitted to the school.

Student Services Director Chauncey Bland said out-ofstate applications were always handled that way, but the policy neglected to relect that.

Bland said students will be notiied by March 1 if their transfer request is accepted.

Supt. Jason Manuel said the early deadline will help families who are deciding whether to apply to private school, as well as staf members as they plan for enrollment for next year. If every student in Germantown attended Houston, he said, that would be about 1,500 students.

Optimal capacity, which would allow the school to keep all of its advanced course oferings, is about 1,900.

“We’re always going to be looking at drawing 400 students to Houston High School,” Manuel said.

The issue of tuition also resurfaced last Wednesday as part of the enrollment discussion.

ennessee Shakespeare Company has begun its four-part residency at Germantown High School, serving the school’s 530 freshmen with its nationally-recognized Romeo and Juliet Project.

The project brings professional actorteachers into each language arts classroom at GHS. Students are guided by the actors to live the play’s urgent tragedy of young love amid rage and experience its relevant story while ensuring students are exposed to Shakespeare that is active, rich and rewarding.

As the teenagers in the play face armed violence, students at GHS will discover positive actions available to them in their own lives in the face of real conlict.

The residency concludes with an intimate performance by the actor/teachers of “Romeo and Juliet,” which encourages student participation.

Now in its fourth year, TSC’s Residency at Germantown High School is but one of a quickly expanding group of participating, county-wide high schools. By the end of March, TSC is scheduled to perform the play 44 times in 27 schools. In addition, the residencies are projected to make 342 classroom visits in 11 schools.

At least 4,360 high school freshmen will be reached and positively afected by the Romeo and Juliet Project.

Student project assessments have recorded a 20 percent increase in students’ compassion as a result of their inclusion in the Romeo and Juliet Project, as well as a full letter grade increase, on average, in language arts classes.

NUCCIO DINUZZO/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/TNS

Cooking schools have evolved to empower us to cook. Chef instructor Michele Glancey at the Chopping Block in Chicago demonstrates knife skills.

What’s cooking in 2015?

Pickled eats, kitchen coaches, artisan foods and stronger flavors are trending

BILL HOGAN/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/TNS

Fermented foods continue to gain ground, going more mainstream.

By Judy Hevrdejs Chicago Tribune (TNS)

Food forecasters and culinary prognosticators have spoken.

Bored by too-sweet eats? Sour foods — pickled and fermented — are moving onto the plate to save our taste buds in 2015, says J. Walter Thompson, the marketing communication folks.

Bitter is big, too, with darker cofees, deeper chocolates and cruciferous veggies joining the mix, Technomic’s food industry researchers say.

Speaking of veggies, you may soon put more hybrid versions on your shopping list, such as Kalettes (kale plus Brussels sprouts) or broccolower, a marriage of — if you have to ask, you don’t know your vegetables.

If you’re grumbling, “That doesn’t sound like real food,” get this: Expect more foods that look and taste like the real thing but aren’t, i.e. eggless Just Mayo from Hampton Creek Foods and tomato sushi from San Francisco chef James Corwell, say the JWT folks.

Here’s what savvy food folks say we’ll be cooking and eating in 2015: Hybrid veggies: You’ll hear a lot about them, “but they’re going to have a very small presence in our lives,” says Brian Wansink, director of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab and author of “Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life.” “They can’t be produced on the scale that will make them afordable to most of us, and their health beneits are marginal compared to just taking broccoli or kale or broccoli and kale separately.”

Fermented food: “We’re seeing it go more mainstream, from sauerkraut to using kombucha or kimchee. These products are used not just as a condiment but rather as the main course,” says SupermarketGuru’s Phil Lempert, a food marketing expert.

“While they’ve been out there, there will be an increased focus where people are going to understand that it can

Smoke is everywhere as a lavoring agent, even in specialty smoked sugars.

aid digestion.”

Kitchen mentors: Cooking schools have evolved. “It’s more about having people who can empower you, saying, ‘Here’s why you use the shallot,’ and not somebody just saying, ‘Use a shallot, chop it up and whatever else,’” Lempert says. “It’s a much more holistic approach to cooking foods.”

Spice it up: New spices and sauces turn common eats exotic. Expect companies to develop Shake ‘N Bake-type bag mixes for, say, green beans or caulilower, Wansink says. “It’s also what we can do as cooks” — such as he does, shaking veggies in a bag with seasonings before roasting them.

Sriracha, the new ketchup? Expect more lavors, fruits and vegetables unique to Latin America, but expect Asian lavors in the home mix as well, says Darren Seifer, a food and beverage industry analyst with NPD Group, a market research company. Their “kitchen audit” found Sriracha in 9 percent of homes. “However, when you look at homes where the head of household is younger than 35, about 16 percent have Sriracha. ... It’s now a household staple.”

Call it combo cooking: Convenience foods once meant a frozen dinner or

entrée, trimmed prep, almost-zero cleanup. Evidence shows that meaning is shifting to include an element of freshness, Seifer says. “Now it’s ‘How can I achieve freshness while still getting out of the kitchen in a short amount of time?’”

Millennials using fresh items doesn’t mean “they want to be or are even becoming home chefs by any stretch of the imagination.” It does mean they may reach for liquid eggs (cuts cracking time), then add their own lavorings.

Think craft foods: Craft beer helped some big brewers, “whether they made it up, bought it, acquired it, whatever,” says Lempert — for example, Anheuser-Busch’s purchase of Goose Island Beer Co. “We’re starting to see the same thing happen in food. ... We’re going to see a lot more locally produced, limited distribution brands where they inally realize that every product that they make doesn’t have to be bought by everybody in America.”

Same-day delivery: Joining Peapod and Amazon Fresh, “Google Express is putting every food retailer in the same-day delivery business,” Lempert says. That, in turn, changes how we buy food. “We’re not going into a supermarket 2.2 times a week.”

Smoked foods: Restaurants and bars are already doing it. “Smoked lavor makes foods more complex,” Lempert says. Smoked cocktails, butters, vegetables and even products that have been on the shelf for a while (ireroasted tomatoes) “are going to rise dramatically in the next year,” he says.

Clear the counters: “People are going to start understanding that how they set up their kitchen, how they serve food and where they place food is the biggest determinant of how healthy they eat,” Wansink says.

“Small adjustments — getting all food of the counter and only having a fruit bowl on — will do more to inluence how people eat in 2015 than any other thing.”

Stufed mushrooms are alternative to Bufalo wings

BUFFALO CHICKEN AND KALE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Associated Press

Anybody who has kids will appreciate this milestone. My daughter ate an entire mushroom for the irst time the other day!

I had roasted it on a baking sheet alongside other veggies, knowing she would likely skip the mushroom and dig around for the carrots and beets instead. Up until the other night, she had always shied away from these earthy little morsels. But apparently now, at the ripe age of 7, she is on the mushroom bandwagon, and I am thrilled.

I love mushrooms because they are meaty and satisfying, yet an entire cup has just 15 tiny calories (and 2 grams of protein).

Plus, they ofer a dose of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and dietary iber.

But the real beneit is

Bufalo chicken and kale stufed mushrooms are the perfect alternative to high calorie snacking during game time.

that the deep flavor of mushrooms will make you completely forget you are eating something healthy.

Looking for a veggie that won’t leave you feeling hungry? The mushroom is your guy.

And the perfect time to forget your food is actually healthy is the tailgate

party. Football season is snacking season.

The only problem with game-time snacking — especially for the Super Bowl — is that we can easily get stuck in a bufalo wing rut, which is not an excellent long-term major snacking strategy for the healthconscious.

Two 10-ounce packages medium white button, baby bella or cremini mushrooms, stemmed — Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon butter 1 shallot, minced 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ bunch kale, stems removed, finely chopped (about 1 cup) 1 tablespoon lemon juice ¾ cup chopped cooked chicken 8 ounces light cream cheese, softened ¼ cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles — Olive oil cooking spray

I took all the lavors of a

1 Heat the oven to 375° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or kitchen parchment, then mist with olive oil cooking spray.

2 Use a damp paper towel to wipe the mushroom caps clean, then season them with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3 In a medium saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot and garlic and saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale and saute until wilted. Add the lemon juice, cover and allow to steam for 1 to 2 minutes. Uncover, remove the pan from heat and stir in the chicken.

4 In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, hot sauce and blue cheese crumbles.

Add the kale and chicken mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Spoon the cheese filling into the mushroom caps, then arrange the filled caps on the prepared baking sheet. Mist the tops lightly with olive oil cooking spray, then bake for 25 minutes, or until tops are golden and mushrooms are tender.

Growing from history

The long abandoned plantation on the Mississippi where Gilmer’s family spent summers to escape the steaminess of New Orleans.

A sugar vat steeped in history was relocated to Los Angeles to keep the flame of history lit.

Grandfather’s sugar vat teaches important lessons

By Maureen Gilmer Tribune News Service (TNS)

was afraid of the ish pond hidden under the camellias in my grandfather’s Los Angeles garden. I felt something frightening lurking there in the inky dark water. It was not until decades later that I learned the truth about that pond while researching our family’s role in New Orleans Reconstruction politics.

In the 1890s, my grandfather’s Creole family led summer fever season to a dilapidated plantation house on the River Road. This abandoned sugar plantation across the Mississippi was the source of that curious ish pond.

I

Fleeing segregation years later, they sold the property for an interstate highway. My grandfather rescued a sugar vat, shipped it down the Mississippi, across the Gulf of Mexico, through the Panama Canal and north to his home in Los Angeles. Clearly he thought it important enough to invest a considerable sum in its relocation.

The sugar vat became the last vestige of our family’s Southern history. Perhaps my childhood fear of it was sensitivity to the ghosts of the vat’s own past. Steeped in the iron rivets lay the sweat of slaves who stoked the ire and stirred the contents long before it was abandoned and became ours. These ghosts were among thousands of Africans brought to work the cane ields, the most brutal of all agricultural endeavors.

Half a century later, when writing my book, “Jumping the Fence: A Legacy of Race in 150 Years of Family Secrets,” I remembered that ish pond as though it were yesterday.

I think of it when I look at our contemporary design trends, too, because the presence of similar industrial elements from great iron factory gears to steel cutting tables are being repurposed as haute landscape style. They are the artifacts of our nation’s 19th and 20th century industrial heritage, now primitive relics in the digital age.

The mechanized century touched so many families toiling in mills and factories that the rust belt is a treasure trove of memories. A wagon wheel, a battered anvil, even the petal-like blades of a windmill all bring back the legacy of vanished farms and ranches. When we bring remnants of these formative years into the everyday realm of our children, they too will be able to form memories like mine that touch the past in a meaningful way. Artifacts become stylishly attractive or even useful in the family garden, evoking stories and memories when gatherings are held there.

Metals gain a rich patina of rust or copper verdigris over time looking better with age and weathering.

Though wood rots or consumed by termites, it becomes delightfully patterned with bright green moss or lichens. Arrange them to look as though they have stood there for a century and you’ll achieve the perfect focal point.

In today’s landscape style, relics blend with plants and hardscape into eye-catching compositions. Nooks and crannies teem with succulents, vines weave into gaps in the iron and stone, and others become ish ponds or piped as fountains. Design yours as you would a small shrine or frame it with foliage like a revered sculpture.

Don’t lose your artifact in the shadows of the camellia bushes — provide ambient lighting to make it visible every night through windows in winter or from outdoor living spaces in summer.

Each of these rescued bits of American history is becoming a museum piece with every new year. They enhance vintage architecture by extending style elements into your garden from colonial to art deco home design. When they are more intimate relics of familial origin, they are accompanied by their own story passed down through generations.

Growing plants indoors starts with the proper lighting

By Joe Lamp’l growingagreenerworld.com (TNS)

While I recognize the special beauty of a garden and landscape in winter, I need my green, and lots of it. Perhaps that’s why I have an extra appreciation for houseplants between fall and spring, and the readily available resources to help them thrive.

Beyond common houseplants predestined for a life indoors, lots of folks bring their outdoor plants inside over the winter months. All kinds of delicate perennials, tropicals, citrus and even herbs and salad greens, not to mention countless new seed starts, can wait out the cold indoors given the right conditions.

The most important is light.

By understanding how plants use light, and the many lighting options available today, you can put together a lighting system that’s right for the plants you

want to grow — or at least sustain — indoors until they are able to venture outside again.

Three of the most important lighting considerations are: Intensity: All plants need light to thrive, but some plants can get by on lower intensities than others. Native tropicals, shadeloving forest plants and houseplants like ivy or philodendron don’t need as much light as Mediterranean succulents or desert cactuses. Flowering plants of all kinds, such as orchids and gardenias, generally need brighter light to lower and produce fruit.

Color: Bright sunshine contains the full spectrum of light wavelengths from red through yellow and green to blue and violet. Plants use all of these wavelengths for photosynthesis, but red and blue are two of the most important. The blue spectrum promotes vegetative growth — young plants build robust, full

foliage. The red wavelengths promote lowers and fruits.

Duration: No matter how much light they use to grow, plants need a rest now and then to accomplish their other metabolic functions. Plants’ preferences for light to dark are divided into short-day, long-day and day-neutral. Short-day plants thrive on less than 12 hours of light in a 24-hour period. Most will also need to have a stretch of even shorter days to signal them to set buds and lower.

Azaleas, chrysanthemums, poinsettias and Christmas cactuses are short-day plants. Longday plants need 14 to 18 hours of light per day. Vegetables and most garden plants are long-day.

Day-neutral plants like geraniums and foliage plants are happy with 8 to 12 hours of light all year.

TYPES OF GROW LIGHTS There are many kinds of ar-

tiicial lights that will support plants indoors, from ordinary bulbs and tubes to super eicient LED lights. Most are available in multiple color spectra.

Fluorescent tubes put out 3 to 4 times the light of incandescents for the same energy. Their color frequencies run from reds to blues so you can mix and match to suit your preferences.

Full-spectrum or sunlight luorescents are great for all plants and for starting plants from seeds. They’re often even marketed as grow lights.

Industry standard, T4 tubes it in ordinary shop lights and household luorescent ixtures.

New, smaller T8 and T5 tubes need ixtures with special ballasts but use less power and last signiicantly longer. Cool white and warm white fluorescent bulbs can be mixed in a two-bulb ixture to get a good balance of red and blue light.

High-pressure sodium bulbs emit yellow-orange light that’s better for the flowering and fruiting phase of a plant’s life cycle. All produce a great deal of waste heat.

The newest technology for grow lights uses light-emitting diodes. LEDs are extremely energy eicient; they average 50,000 hours of useful operation and generate very little heat, making them safe for plants and people. You’ll spend a good bit more upfront but you can expect to save 40 to 75 percent on energy costs.

Keep the plants far enough away to prevent potential burning yet close enough to maximize the exposure these supplemental light sources provide.

And regardless of which kind of lighting system you use, rotate your plants one or more times weekly to balance the amount of light each plant receives.

STATE BOUND Bartlett sweeps sectionals; C’ville teams knocked of

Bartlett’s boys bowling team won the Class AAA sectionals 20-7 over Brighton last Saturday.

State tournament play begins today in Smyrna.

By Pete Wickham Special to the Weekly

Bartlett’s boys and girls teams swept their way to the TSSAA State Bowling Tournament, which kicks of today in Smyrna.

The Bartlett boys (14-5), fresh of a 19-8 win over previously unbeaten Collierville in the regional inals, beat Brighton 20-7 in the sectional round Saturday at Andy B’s.

The Bartlett girls, who have not lost since a season-opening defeat to Collierville, will take a 15-1 record to Smyrna after a 20-7 decision over Dyer County on Monday at Andy B’s.

Collierville’s boys (14-2) put up a furious third-game rally in its sectional match, led by freshman Ross Jenner’s 300-game but fell 1611 to host Hardin County in Savannah. Jenner inished with a 728.

Hardin County’s girls ran their record to 20-0 with a 26-1 victory over Collierville on Saturday.

Sophomore Jack Williams led Bartlett’s boys squad with a 246232-170-658 series against Brighton. Ryan Foster capped a 636 series with a 266 in the inale for the Panthers, who won the total pinfall 3,380-3,199.

It came two days after a torrid match with Collierville. The Dragons had beaten Bartlett ive times during the season, including the district inal. But Bartlett rolled up a 3,717-3,680 decision, clearly the team’s season best for a squad that did not qualify a single bowler for the individual tournament.

“I think they got tired of all the losses to that team,” Panthers

coach Don Ames said of his team’s ive-match run to the state bracket.

“They got together on their own over the holidays and whatever they did it really took hold.”

Junior Christian Smith set the tone for Bartlett with an opening 277 and inished with a 681 series. Bartlett notched three 200plus games in the second game, and closed things out with four bowlers topping 200 in the third — senior Nick Kavoian (247), junior Phillip Bay (243), freshman Brian Liddle (235) and Williams (222). It opened up what had been a razor-thin ninepin lead after two games.

It was just enough to ofset a monster 757 series by Collierville senior Jack Holliman (234-276247).

A few years ago, Bartlett girls took a 15-0 record into the sectionals only to be upset by Adamsville.

They took no chances Monday against Dyer County, rolling up a match-clinching 14-2 lead after two games, then emptying the bench. Bartlett had won the regional title with a 20.5-6.5 win over Collierville.

Kelsey Spitler had a 207 and 168 before taking a seat. Olivia Johnson rolled all three games for Art Paul-

son’s squad, notching a 465.

The tournament starts with the individual event and seeding matches for the teams today. Team completion is set for Friday and Saturday.

St. Benedict brings unbeaten boys (15-0) and girls (13-0) teams into the weekend, and the Eagles also have the No. 1 individual tournament qualiiers in sophomore Conner Nichols (214.6 average) and senior Nicole Harty (190.7).

Three other Eagles boys and girls are also in the top 8 going into the individual round — Nick Agnew (206.8), Andrew Reese (202.2) and Jack Schaaf (201.1) on the boys side, Kerri King (165.7), Jessica Dress (158.90 and Julie Stoll (154.9) for the girls.

Collierville’s Jenner (204.8) is the top suburban boys individual qualiier and will be joined by teammates Jack Henderson (202.5) and Holliman (201.6). Also qualiied is the Bolton duo of Tyler Smith (204.4) and Austin Corley (202.9).

Spitler (161.2) and Bartlett teammates Emily Hummel (145.7) and Myra Mayes (140) are individual tournament qualiiers as is Collierville’s Holly Siebenschuh (155.3).

Despite the fact that it is in a bit of a transition season, Christian Brothers doesn’t look like it will be surrendering its place at the top of the local wrestling hierarchy any time soon.

The Brothers went undefeated at the CBHS Duals last Saturday, turning back challenges from Cordova, Arlington and Little Rock Central.

Up-and-coming Arlington — coached by former CBHS wrestler Jonathan Simpson — igured to give the Brothers their toughest challenge. But CBHS won convincingly 48-16, getting pinfall victories from Tanner Tidswell (126), Tommy Brackett (145), Dallas Broughton (170), Chase White (182) and Patrick Healy (285).

“I think it’s been nine years since CBHS lost to a Memphis team,” said Tidswell, a junior. “Dallas and I talked to the team before the match and we told them we can’t be the team that’s going to lose.”

Broughton, a 170-pound senior who placed third in the state at 162 last year, was CBHS’ standout. He needed just over a minute to pin Arlington’s Aaron Moore, while also pinning Mason Gresham of Little Rock Central (1:53) and Ismaeel Bayakly of Cordova (2:20).

Tidswell, a fourth-place inisher at state last year, only wrestled once last

Saturday thanks to a pair of forfeits but looked very good in pinning Arlington’s Harrison Phillips with just 23 seconds left in the match.

The two are the leaders of a team that while still very talented, is also very young. CBHS coach Chris Lewis said the team typically starts ive or six freshmen and sophomores.

And despite losing against state powers like Bradley Central and Nashville Father Ryan earlier in the year, Lewis likes the way his team, now 28-7 on the year, is progressing.

“We lost both of those matches but we competed well,” he said. “It’s just where we are. It’s all a part of the learning process.”

Said Broughton, “I think the team did really well.

We were aggressive on our feet. We’re coming together and I can’t wait for state. ... We’re like brothers; there’s a lot of brotherly love on this team.”

BRAMLETT HONORED Former Arlington pitching ace Brady Bramlett has been named vice chairman of the NCAA Division 1 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Bramlett, now at Ole Miss, was chosen for the position while serving as the national SEC representative at this weekend’s SAAC convention in Washington.

A two-time Best of the Preps player of the year, Bramlett led Arlington to the 2012 state title and inished his high school career with a 39-2 record.

SBA ROLLS TO WINS The St. Benedict boys and girls bowling boys teams recently captured the Division II West Region Championships. The boys team defeated Briarcrest, and the girls team beat St. Agnes. Both teams are unbeaten and begin state tournament play today in Smyrna.

Animal shelter employees help keep pets warm

By Jennifer Casey Special to The Weekly

When temperatures were hovering just above freezing, a white pickup truck traveled along Collierville streets to make unique house calls. As the truck came to a stop, Sandy Kraemer with the Collierville Animal Shelter, and Cathy Priester, a shelter volunteer, stepped out and started knocking on doors.

Kraemer was greeted with smiles as she asked two questions, “Do you have a dog out back?

Would you like some hay and dog food?” If the irst answer was yes, the next was usually a yes as well.

She would return to the truck and cut of a large

bundle of hay, ofering to help line the doghouses.

Priester would grab a bag of dog food and added they also had treats. Not only did the pups enjoy

mals for us,” said Nina Wingield, director of the Collierville Animal Shelter. “There is no reason why any animals here in Collierville should be cold.”

As the two ofered residents winter pet supplies, they would ask if the dogs were current on shots and suggested a few solutions along with an informative pamphlet. These resources served to remind residents of the town’s rabies ordinance, as well as spay and

neuter options for lower income families.

“Our animal shelter actually has empty cages, which is very good,” said Wingield. “Helping and reminding residents of this information helps reduce puppies and, with the rabies vaccination, follow the law.”

In addition to the annual rabies drive in April, the Collierville Animal Shelter seeks to inform the community of other cost-saving ways to care

for pets responsibly. The Mid-South Spay and Neuter clinic ofers low- and no-cost services. Call 901324-3202 for more information. The Collierville Animal Shelter also has winter-care tips featured on the town’s YouTube channel and has extra kennels available if residents want to bring outdoor animals inside until spring.

Morton to host ‘Senior Lunch n’ Learn’ Special to The Weekly

It’s a new year, and the Morton Museum of Collierville History is ofering a new program for Collierville seniors. The “Senior Lunch n’ Learn” is an educational and social opportunity that brings artists, authors and historians to the museum for discussions over lunch.

“I thought the museum should play a part in addressing the issue of more senior programming in Collierville,” said Ashley Carver, director of the Morton Museum. “The museum amplified its family-focused programs in 2014, but the senior demographic is an important part of our community that we want to reach this year.”

Carver met with Lisa

Gaither, recreation program coordinator with the Collierville Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department, to see which programs currently are ofered by the town and to brainstorm some ideas with the department’s staf.

The collaboration led to the idea of a “Senior Lunch n’ Learn” program to provide informative and communal opportunities as well as utilization of the unique space in the museum.

“The events will complement the museum’s mission to educate the community about Collierville’s rich history and reach a new demographic,” said Josh Suddath, assistant town administrator.

“It’s part of an ongoing effort to broaden community

programs but is also a new way to enjoy the museum.”

The second session will be Jan. 29, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., and will cover the topic of genealogy.

The Tennessee Genealogy Society will show participants how to research family history and cover available sources and software Programs are free to attend and all materials are included. Attendees are asked to bring a lunch; library is providing drinks and dessert.

“Senior Lunch n’ Learn” events will be the second and fourth Thursday of the month, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Morton Museum, 196 Main St. For more information about the senior program or the Morton Museum, visit colliervillemuseum. org or call 901-457-2650.

BELLA VISTA!

Silvia Givera winds up to throw a tennis ball to her dog Diego on the bank of Lake Como in Lenno, Italy.

A walk around Lake Como unveils Italy’s beauty

PHOTOS BY DOUG OSTER/PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE/TNS

At the apex of their hike Doug Oster and his family were treated to this view of the bell tower of Chiesa di Sant’Andrea in Sala Comacina, Italy.

By Doug Oster Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (TNS)

L

ENNO, Italy — Silvia Givera is standing on the picturesque bank of Lake Como.

She winds up, underhand, to throw a tennis ball to her dog Diego. The dog stands transixed until the ball sails far out into the lake, and then he happily swims after it. He brings it back but is reluctant to return it to Givera. Eventually she gets the ball and the two walk back to Bar il Golfo in town.

She helps run this place, which serves traditional Italian fare. The view of the lake is stunning from the restaurant, and it’s hard to fathom spending every day surrounded by such beauty.

I had just stepped of a water taxi after visiting the amazing topiary gardens of Villa Balbianello and walked past Bar il Golfo on my way to meet my family, in Italy on a parallel trip.

While I took 32 people through the gardens of Venice, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore, my family used Como as its base to explore Switzerland, the towns around the lake and, most important, connect with relatives near the Austrian border.

When we met in Lenno, my family had already walked more than two miles from the Grand Hotel Tremezzo on the Greenway del lago di Como (Lake Como Greenway). It’s a 10-kilometer trail, a little more than six miles, that winds through neighborhoods and small towns from Cadenabbia south to Colonno in this part of northern Italy.

Of all the remarkable things I saw on my 10-day trip in September, this was one of my most treasured memories. People always say to get of the beaten path while visiting Italy, and it paid of for us in every way.

The greenway is well marked with metal emblems embedded into the trail and bright blue and yellow signs above. We had a few missteps and wrong turns but always found our way on the trail.

We started our walk by a couple of small restaurants and behind industrial businesses. Our irst surprise was a rocky slope illed with pink begonias cascading down a rock wall. The sec-

One of the most interesting things on the hike was a stop at the home of Felippo Salice in Ossuccio, Italy. The odd-looking home was filled with unique art and a sign saying “free entrance.”

The Greenway Del Lago di Como (Lake Como Greenway) in Italy is pretty well marked with these blue and yellow signs along with, circular, metal markers embedded in the trail itself.

ond was the sight of a beautiful maid working inside a home. Once we tore our son away, we were back on our hike.

Before long, we stumbled onto a little lakeside boat launch several yards of the trail. The lake was calm, and we stood there for a few minutes to soak in another sweet view of the water and surrounding hills.

We continued through narrow cobblestone pathways lanked by stone walls punctuated by open shutters and window boxes illed with geraniums, ferns and other plants.

As we rounded a corner in Ossuccio we were struck by an odd looking home, illed with art and a sign saying “free entrance.” I wasn’t sure about going in, but my son led the way.

As we opened the door, Felippo Salice sat watching television. He rose and greeted us with a great smile. His home was illed with a cornucopia of odd treasures for sale. He didn’t speak English, but my wife, Cindy, is pretty good with Italian, and they were able to communicate. The walls were illed with photos of him as a young man,

with other family members and even walking in a church processional.

After we talked for a while, Salice opened another door, which led to even more interesting items. My wife bought an old cruciix from 1950, and I purchased a crazy-looking little bronze face, which might have been at the front of someone’s home.

We crossed a street and eventually came upon the faded frescos of San Giacomo, a church that dates to at least the 11th century. As we looked around the outside we were treated to another spectacular view of the lake.

Standing on a narrow, overhanging walkway we could see big ish swimming at the bottom through the crystal clear water.

The trail ascended and as we climbed we passed an abandoned estate, where we briely had an “Under the Tuscan Sun” moment. We thought better, though, of following in the Frances Mayes character’s footsteps and renovating an old villa. We took a breather at a small, cool waterfall that meandered. There were warm greenish purple igs hanging from trees for

tasty snacks.

As we reached the summit and began to descend, we were greeted with a hard-to-beat view of the bell tower of Chiesa di Sant’Andrea in Sala Comacina.

At the bottom, we were desperate for a bathroom break. Two Australians and their Italian friend pointed us toward the ferry home and also a bathroom.

We had to hike back to Sala Comacina for both, which was about a 20-minute walk. “It’s not safe,” I yelled to the family as I looked at the narrow berm and tiny, speeding Italian cars lying by. “This is how they do it,” my wife screamed and of we went, stopping to peer around curves, running to the next safe spot. We found what we needed at Enoteca Wine Bar. Alessandra Carminati was preparing the bar for patrons and was happy to allow us in for a bathroom break and point my wife in the direction of the ferry stop.

The printed ferry schedule at the dock confounded us. Two women sitting nearby tried to help. They didn’t speak English, but my wife was able to ascertain that there was no ferry going north to Tremezzo where they were staying and only one more going south to my hotel in Moltrasio.

They learned of a bus headed north, and we parted ways. Since I had 1½ hours to kill before my ferry, I headed back to the Enoteca bar, where Carminati poured me a large beer and made me a nice plate of meat and cheese.

As we talked, she told me of her love of Italy. How she lived out of the country for a time but longed to return home. She wondered what I thought of Italy, and when I told her of my unending love for the country she lashed a sweet smile and opened up, telling me where all the food on my plate came from.

“The cow cheese is from up there,” she gestured toward a steep hill. Each bite was better than the last, and as she poured me another beer, one of her friends stuck in traic yelled and waved to her through the open front door. “Alessandra,” he screamed, which made her smile again.

Her grandmother came in to sit for a bit and then her grandfather, who runs the nearby Grand Hotel Victoria. Another friend came in for a small beer and some cheese.

The two of us talked for 45 minutes — about tourists, food and her long journey on a bike to and from work each day.

Despite our brief time together, we connected in the way that’s hard to explain. In another life, we’d be friends. It’s one of the beautiful things about traveling, stumbling upon a person and place like this.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a straight up guy. I’ve held off on commenting on the erectile dysfunction (ED) controversy until I was able to really do my homework. Well the results are in.

Erectile dysfunction is a fact of life.

Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is a biggie), diabetes, or simply due to aging, the accompanying loss of self esteem is something that effects millions of men every day.

And in a nutshell, that seems to be the problem - every man’s ED problem is different and requires different treatment.

research, the only approach that makes sense comes from companies called the Men’s Clinic that have been opening across the country. There’s one here in Memphis.

The Memphis Men’s Clinic specializes in ED and that’s all they do. Their doctors seem to be the only ones who realize that ED effects every man differently.

They have uniquely combined three medically approved ingredients for ED into 70 different formulations --- one of which will make “it� start happening immediately --- and I mean immediately for over 92% of all men experiencing ED. In fact, if “it� doesn’t start happening on the irst visit, you don’t pay a single penny.

Why didn’t my doctor tell me?

Don’t expect much help from your family doctor.

How you perform in the bedroom is not really his concern and he will probably just prescribe some “pills�.
