Don and Sibyl Tatoski have been dancing together for more than 61 years. The couple spent the night grooving to songs from their youth during Germantown’s annual Adult Valentine’s party held at the Pickering Center.

ove was in the air as the annual Germantown Adult Valentine’s party was held at the Pickering Center last Friday.

The minute guests entered the doors they knew this was a party for the Baby Boomers. The music brought back a lot of memories to those who attended.

As music from Teresa Brewer, Bobby Darin, Little Richard and Elvis illed the Pickering Center, the dance loor was a busy place.

The music was provided by Alex Ward, who has been on Memphis’ airwaves since 1967.

“This music has endured be-

Collierville Police Chief Larry Goodwin identiied the victims of the onecar accident as the driver, Ch ristophe Kesterson, 17, of Collierville, and Co- Christophe lin Kilgore, 18, Kesterson of Cordova.

Town looks at 22% property tax hike Bulk of proceeds would be earmarked for new high school

dermen and the school board the increase would be 34 cents, raising the property tax rate to $1.87 per $100 of assessed value to pay for a 30-year, $98.5 million municipal bond.

For a $200,000 home, the yearly property tax would increase by $175, to $940. The 34cent increase would be short of the 37-38 cent cap that would require a referendum by voters for the increase to go into efect.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen, which would have to approve the increase, was briefed

By John Stamm Special to The Commercial Appeal

Collierville oicials said last Thursday they are projecting a 22 percent property tax increase to cover costs for building a $90 million high school.

Finance director Jane Bevill told the Board of Mayor and Al-

for the irst time on the plans and costs during the two-hour work session at the University of Memphis Collierville campus.

In addition to the $90 million for the high school, the bond would include $8 million for the town’s capital improvement needs over the next several years. Town Administrator James Lewellen said the capital improvement igure was “arbitrary” and could be much lower.

Bevill said the debt service on the bond would be about $5 million annually and would not hurt

the town’s triple-A bond rating.

The school board, projecting student enrollment to increase, determined Jan. 27 that it wasn’t feasible to expand the high school and approved moving forward on a new school covering 90-100 acres with a goal of opening for the 2017-18 school year. The high school, which is expected to become a middle school to help ease crowding, has 2,160 students this year and is projected to increase to 2,300 next year and up to 3,000 in seven or eight years.

Aitken said four to ive sites are being considered and negotiations are under way with landowners but he declined to reveal locations. He said there are 10 to 12 factors in evaluating a site, including accessibility, infrastructure and where it would be located in relation to the center of town.

Alderman Billy Patton said the board needs to discuss whether there should be a referendum, but predicted it would pass overwhelmingly with 70-80 percent approval.

No repeat of ’94 Area braces for cold after mixture of ice and snow

By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

With streets treacherous and temperatures falling, Greater Memphis hunkered down for an extended bout of winter weather Monday after the season’s irst storm served up something of an ice sandwich — a crunchy layer of sleet tucked between two coats of freezing rain.

In all, about an inch of wintry precipitation fell during the Presidents Day storm, producing a combination federal holiday and snow day in which schools and ofices shut down and so many businesses closed early that it became tough to buy a burger, a beer or even a cup of cofee.

Slick and slushy roads contributed to scores of traic accidents across the region, including at least 73 in Memphis between midnight and 4:30 p.m. At least one weather-related fatality — a 60-year-old man who died in a one-car crash in Olive Branch — was reported.

Memphis International Airport remained open, although at least 100 lights were canceled and 19 others delayed by late afternoon.

CRASH from 1 was traveling at a high rate of speed and went of the road, striking a tree.

“The car basically imploded,” Kelly said. “It was a very violent (crash).”

Teammates, students and coaches — including University of Memphis baseball coach Daron Schoenrock — gathered at CBHS Sunday upon hearing the news.

Kilgore “was a fun-loving kid,” said Kelly. “He was one of the leaders of the student section at our basketball games ... a practical joker. But he was a ierce competitor on the baseball ield.”

A former position player who had only recently concentrated solely on pitching, Kilgore went 3-1 with ive saves for the Brothers in 2014. His older brother Riley, who also starred at CBHS, currently is a catcher at Christian Brothers University.

Kilgore “was a great teammate,” said CBHS coach Buster Kelso. “He was just a bulldog; nobody was going to beat him. We told stories about him and they

FedEx, meantime, braced for possible disruptions from icy roads.

But coming as it did almost exactly 21 years after the crippling 1994 ice storm, the wintry precipitation brought no widespread power outages. Throughout the day, Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division crews usually were dealing with no more than a dozen or so outages at any given time.

Authorities credited early forecasts from the National Weather Service and cooperation among municipal and county oicials with reducing problems from the icy precipitation. “Because we got ahead of it ... I think we made out much better this time,” said Levell Blanchard, deputy administrator for the Shelby County Oice of Preparedness.

After the storm passed around midday, however, attention turned to an ominous forecast for the days ahead. After a night of windchill factors expected to be in the single digits, the high temperature Tuesday reached only about freezing before even colder weather was expected.

Thursday night will bring a chance of snow, and temperatures won’t rise signiicantly above freezing until Saturday.

With roads likely to remain icy, crews for Memphis and Shelby County prepared to resume spreading salt mixtures on bridges, overpasses, inclines and major intersections.

Those eforts notwithstanding,

all centered around what a good friend he was to everybody.”

Brothers lacrosse coach Colin Welsh said Kesterson was a valued member of the team who had worked hard to realize more playing time as his career progressed.

The coach added Kesterson was also gifted academically and had plans to possibly attend the University of Georgia.

“He had the second-highest GPA on our team,” Welsh said. “A great kid, extremely well-liked.

He had been with the program since he was a freshman and had been on the varsity since he was a sophomore and had started to see more (playing) time toward the end of last year.

“He was one of those guys where when things got serious, he would lighten the mood.”

Chris Fay, Christian Brothers principal, asked that the community keep the school in its thoughts “as we mourn the loss of two of our boys.”

“Colin and Christophe were both well-liked, good students, and competitors on the ield.

Their classmates, teammates and our entire student body is praying for the Kilgore and Kesterson families at this time.”

Shelby County Schools and districts serving Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland, Millington and DeSoto County all canceled classes again Tuesday and Wednesday. City government oices in Memphis also were also closed Tuesday.

The icy mixture that began falling shortly after midnight Monday resulted from layers of cold air sandwiched around a mantle of warm air about 5,000 feet aloft, said weather service meteorologist John Moore III. Snow fell from the upper atmosphere, then melted halfway down before refreezing as sleet.

Because much of the precipitation was sleet and not freezing rain, “there’s not enough ice accumulation to knock the power lines down,” said Tamara Nolen, supervisor of communications and public relations for MLGW. Although some schools already were slated to be closed for Presidents Day or in-service training, the storm prompted virtually all other schools, including the University of Memphis, to cancel classes through Wednesday.

Many businesses followed suit.

For instance, Huey’s restaurants, which touts its “Blues, Brews and Burgers” had its “irst full snow day” in the company’s 45-year history, said Ashley Ranson, general manager of the Midtown location.

Staf reporters Clay Bailey and Wayne Risher contributed to this story.

Judge set $3M bond for Mark Giannini

On Feb. 13 a judge set a $3 million bond for Memphis businessman and former civic leader Mark Giannini, who is charged in the rapes of three women over the past 13 years.

Criminal Court Judge John Campbell settled on a $3 million “insurance policy” to assure the owner of a successful information-technology business does not use his considerable resources.

Asst. Dist. Atty. Jessica Banti had requested that bond be denied, but when pressed by Campbell, sought $5 million.

Defense attorney Steve Farese told Campbell he first intended to seek a $100,000 bond, but added, “If the prosecution’s position is that no amount of bond will assure his presence, I’d ask for one dollar.”

CRAig CollieR SpeCiAl To The Weekly

DANCE from 1 result of our generation wanting to move beyond the big band era. We listened to music diferently than any generation ever did — not just on records but on the radio. The radio stations we loved played our music and they played it over and over. We heard our music in our rooms and in our cars.”

Thanks to dedicated volunteers and the Germantown Parks Department’s staf, the entire space was brightly decorated with traditional red, white and pink you normally associate with Valentine’s Day. While many of those attending

the annual Valentine’s Dance had done so several times, others like Tim and Donna Furr of Collierville were enjoying their irst visit.

“We love this music,” Donna Furr said. “We have taken trips down to the Gulf Coast and have gone on cruises so we could listen and dance to oldies. We were really excited when we heard about this dance.”

The adult Valentine’s party has been a mainstay of the Germantown Parks and Recreation event calendar for many years. In addition to dancing, guests were provided with food and drinks as the Valentine’s Day sweethearts mingled with other couples between dances.

Students earn awards in National Youth Cyber Defense Competition and mathematics disciplines critical to our nation’s future.

CyberPatriot’s core program, the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, challenges teams of two to six students across the United States, Canada and from Department of Desfense Dependents schools abroad, to ind and resolve cyber security vulnerabilities in simulated environments.

Top teams from preliminary online rounds win an allexpenses-paid trip to Wash-

ington, D.C. for the National Finals Competition, where students compete for national recognition and scholarships.

In all, 2,175 teams registered to compete in CyberPatriot VII, including 52 teams from Tennessee.

Led by coach Leslie Brommer, two teams from Houston excelled in the CyberPatriot VII qualifying rounds, demonstrating teamwork, critical thinking skills and technical knowledge key to a successful career in cyber security.

The teams’ performances earned them a spot in the Regional Round — during which one Houston team outscored other teams to win the open division’s southeast region second-place gold tier award — while the other team came in ifth.

“I am so proud of these young men,” said Brommer.

“They have worked extremely hard and learned so much in a very short time. They have spent many hours after school meeting and preparing for these competitions. I predicted that they will go far in the competition over the next couple of years, hopefully all the way to the national competition in Washington, D.C.” Mason Grace is the curriculum technology coordinator with GMSD.

96 students named to All-West Tennessee band, orchestra

The West Tennessee School Band and Orchestra Association held tryouts in January and 96 members of the Houston High band were named to the All-West Tennessee band, jazz band or orchestra.

For All-State ensemble, 28 members were selected. These results represent the largest number of auditioned participants selected from any high school in Tennessee.

also hosts the Tennessee Music Educator’s All-State Clinic, which will be April 8-11.

Performing on the Cannon Center stage will be familiar to many of these Houston play-

ers at All-West.

Houston’s wind ensemble, made up of many of these AllWest participants, served as the feature concert band in the April 2014 TME inal concert.

The Houston band is under the direction of Jim Smith and Matt Taylor.

When asked about the large number of students selected to participate, Smith commented, “We are extremely lucky to teach so many kids with the work ethic and support from home that is necessary to achieve at a high level. We have fun here at Houston, and I think that is a big motivator in how hard they work.”

The band is sponsored by the Houston High School Band Boosters, led by Brian and Deana Spangler.

Monty Crosby is a parent with the Houston High band.

Now in its 13th year, the an-

Robinwood Retirement Community Offers All-Inclusive Living for Seniors You or your parents may have lived in the family home for years, so the conversation around moving to an Independent Living community is easy to put off. Although you/ they may not be eager to broach the subject of moving to a new place, it’s important to talk about this exciting time while everyone is healthy and can be active participants.

When families wait until a crisis occurs, you might have to make decisions quickly, which can result in wrong choices based on apartment availability or without time to research properly. With the right option, change can be invigorating, especially when the move is to an all-inclusive community, one with a set monthly price, without large buy-ins or longterm contracts.“ “Robinwood Retirement Community, near the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an exciting lifestyle and the freedom to appreciate what’s most important - friends and family. You’ve saved your whole life, and our residents are happy to retire without signing their life or life savings away,” said Manager Joshua Brown.

“If you’re looking to downsize, or if the maintenance and upkeep of your house has gotten to be too much for you or your loved one[s], an independent living apartment at Robinwood Retirement Community ills a deinite need,” he said.

“Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are spacious, beautifully-designed living spaces that include fully-equipped kitchens, luxurious private baths, washer-dryer connections, and more. Our patio homes have additional amenities including raised ceilings, a dining room area, washer/dryer included, and a two-car garage.”

Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that was once known as Robinwood Farms. Robinwood’s on-site managers and professional staff give peace and comfort to residents and their families 24 hours a day. At the push of a button, someone is available around the clock, in the event of an emergency.

“It’s a hard move to make,” said resident Betty Anderson. “A real decision to be thought out, but after my husband and I moved here he said it was absolutely the best decision we’d made and I agree. We’re so glad to be

here at Robinwood. The staff truly cares, you feel love here, and they are here for you 24 hours a day.”

“One additional beneit of downsizing at Robinwood,” Brown continued, “is the simplicity it offers our residents without asking them to sacriice anything. One monthly payment to Robinwood, instead of paying bills to restaurants and grocery stores, to utility companies for water, electricity, cable and phone companies, to housekeepers, to home maintenance companies to landscapers, and to the government for property taxes and the like.

“Robinwood’s Freedom Dining means meals are included in the price of the monthly rent, so residents don’t pay an additional charge each time they eat. In addition, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood means that each of our three chef-prepared meals is served daily within a casual time window that enables residents to eat on their own schedules. “You choose when you sit down to eat,” Brown said. “Residents also have access to our Chef’s Pantry, where residents can enjoy a delicious sandwich, snacks, drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours a day – all at no additional charge. Room service and meals to-go are also available for no extra fee.”

“We were so impressed with how friendly, professional, and polite the staff was when we toured Robinwood.” Residents Pervis and Mary Nell Ballew commented. “Imagine our delight when we realized that it wasn’t an act, continuing to get the red carpet treatment after moving in.”

Interested people can experience Robinwood’s family-friendly lifestyle by scheduling a tour. Tours are offered seven days a week.

Brown said, “When you make a decision to give us a try, your rent is month-to-month with a full 30-day money-back guarantee.

For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Robinwood Retirement Community, at 2795 Kirby-Whitten Rd., Memphis, TN 38134, call 901-612-2711, or visit www.RobinwoodRetirement.com.

rent, all utilities paid, resort-style dining (three meals included daily), professionally staffed (24/7), valet parking, complimentary shuttle service. All apartments feature full kitchens and washer/dryer hook-ups. The community also hosts an on-site general store sponsored

by PharmCare, an on-site Trustmark Bank branch, on-site massage therapy studio, library, salon, whirlpool, security with around the clock emergency call system, on-site theatre, live entertainment, itness program including free access to nearby recreation center, housekeeping and maintenance, resident travel program, and a pet-friendly atmosphere.

Board delays school start times decision No decision during 5-hour budget session

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

About a hundred people came to Houston High School last Wednesday night to hear Germantown Municipal School Board members discuss what they would do about start times for next year, but after ive hours of budget discussions, the people in the audience didn’t get much clarity on the issue.

The board was schedule to meet again on Wednesday to review changes to the budget and

narrow the possible times school could start. A vote is set for Feb. 23 on the inal budget, including the transportation portion affected by start times.

The board went through the budget line by line last Wednesday. Much of the crowd left before the topic of start times came up just before 10 p.m., with the exception of a brief argument at the beginning of the meeting between Board Chairwoman Lisa Parker and board member Ken Hoover.

Parker said she was angry at Hoover for requesting an opinion from the state attorney general without consulting the board irst.

The opinion was on whether the district could charge families for transportation fees.

Hoover said he felt he was under attack, and Parker responded, “You are.” She added that the board members need to work together or they could open themselves up to litigation.

Parker’s contention, however, was over Hoover’s failure to consult the board and not speciic to the issue of charging for transportation. Other board members agreed it was something to discuss.

Members of the school community have pushed hard for later start times, doing away with the 7 a.m. start time at Houston Middle and Houston High School. The board pledged before the current school year to look at doing away with the 7

a.m. start, but wasn’t able to get it done before the school year started, and promised to attack the issue again for the 2015-16 school year.

Supt. Jason Manuel said he drafted the budget assuming the biggest impact of the start time change, which would be about $400,000. If the board makes no changes to start times, the cost for transportation next year, not including fuel, is about $823,000.

Manuel said the district, which plans to start its own alternative school next year on the high school campus, would ofer seats at that school to students from Collierville. That would ofset a penalty Germantown would have to pay to Collierville if they

changed the start times because the two districts share buses in their contract with Durham School Services.

Hoover said the issue of start times is his top priority.

“I do believe that we’ll see a meaningful, incremental gain in student achievement by making this investment,” he said.

Board members also expressed a desire to request from the city the rest of the sales tax money on top of what the city owes the district. Board member Natalie Williams said because the sales tax was billed as being for the schools, they “need to ask for that money.”

Manuel agreed the money would be put to use.

and community as a whole will be able to experience the fruits of our student’s labor as they hear outstanding new music.”

Prep Sports ROUNDUP

CBHS, St. George’s wrestlers reach finals Arlington’s Enzor makes history with top-6 finish

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

The state wrestling tournament didn’t produce any champions for Christian Brothers. But it was still a pretty satisfying end to the year.

The Brothers led the area contingent with two runner-up inishes as the Division 2 competition wrapped up in Franklin last Saturday.

Dallas Broughton, the team’s top performer, lost to Cayman Seagraves of Chattanooga Baylor in the 170-pound inal. The senior ends the year with a 45-2 record.

“He was down (3-2) with 20 seconds left, and he went for it and got put on his own back, which made the score a little deceptive,” said Brothers coach Chris Lewis. “But he’s been an incredible leader; he’s been a warrior all year.”

Sophomore Trevor Brown fell to Eli King of Father Ryan, 13-2 in the 132-pound title match.

“Trevor is young and talented, and he’s starting to come into his own,” said Lewis. “The last month or so he’s wrestled really well, starting to figure things out. He’s got an opportunity to be one of the best we’ve ever had.”

Drew Ruffin of St. George’s was the only other area wrestler going for a title, and he also inished in second place, losing 12-3 to Cole Euverard of Montgomery Bell Academy.

CBHS had six other wrestlers on the medal stand, led by Grayson Walthall’s third-place inish at 195.

The Brothers got fourths from Tanner Tidswell (126), Bryce Wittman (138) and Tommy Brackett (145).

Bryan Garrett took ifth at 120 and Chad Cabonero ended sixth at 106.

St. Benedict and MUS each had three wrestlers place. Jeremy Stewart got third for the Eagles at 160, while Trace Jenkins was

fourth at 113 and Nesto Rivas ifth at 220. Mitchell Clark’s fourth-place inish at 285 led the Owls, followed by John Gray (ifth, 195) and Connor Stewart (sixth, 138).

Briarcrest had fourthplace inishes from Gage Martin (152) and Nick Pope (182), while Griin Brown of St. George’s took sixth at 160.

In AAA, Nathan Enzor of Arlington made a little history by becoming the first wrestler from the school to place at state.

The senior dropped a 7-4 decision to Joseph Begley of Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett to inish sixth in the 160-pound class.

Jasmine Bailey of Kingsbury won the girls 155-pound class to become the school’s irst medalist.

STATE SWIMMING Katie Kelsoe went out in style.

The Memphis Home Education Association senior, who will compete at Alabama next year, Kelsoe successfully defended her title in the 100 backstroke at the state meet in Knoxville.

Her winning time of 54.32 was almost three seconds better than runner-up Lauren Mabie of St. Mary’s. Earlier, Kelsoe took fourth in the 200 individual medley in 2:03.61.

St. Mary’s also got strong showings from Kiara Norris and Alli McQueen, who inished fourth and ifth in the 100 butterly, and the 200 medley relay team, which was second in 1:45.36.

Alyssa Hale of Harding took third in the 100 breaststroke, and Emma Grace Pecha of St. Agnes came in fourth in the 200 free. Collierville’s 200 relay team took third.

In the boys competition, Henry Keel of MUS was fourth in the 50 free (20.93), then swam a leg on the Owls’ 200 relay team that inished second in a schoolrecord 1:24.48. Christian Berry also swam a leg and took fourth in the 100 free as the Owls inished with 201 points, second behind Chattanooga Baylor.

Another Owl, Alex Rob-

inson, was fourth in the 100 backstroke. Collierville’s Joshua Walsh came in fourth in the 200 free, and the MHEA 200 medley relay team took second.

IN BASKETBALL District 14-AAA: Nathan Hoover poured in 35 points to lead tournament host Arlington into the championship game with a 73-69 win over Bartlett.

Eric McGill had 30 for the Panthers. The Tigers’ opponent will be Cordova, which routed top-seeded Bolton, 90-57, behind 25 points from Blake Williams.

In girls play, Arlington will play for the title after a 63-32 victory over Cordova. Callie McMorran and Mirrakohl Johnson led a balanced attack with 12 each. The Tigers will face Bartlett, which got 22 from Jessica Jackson in a 73-52 victory over Bolton.

District 15-AAA: Ridgeway’s girls team, ranked second in the state and fourth in the USA Today national poll, stayed undefeated with a 63-24 win over Kirby. Brandi Beasley scored 17 for the Roadrunners, who face Southwind for the title at Collierville High. Kiante Butts’ 15 led the Jaguars over Houston, 39-28, in the other semiinal.

CBHS 53, BRIARCREST 50

Purple Wave secure perfect 27-0 regular season with win

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Close games? Whitehot atmospheres? The Christian Brothers basketball team has been there and done that.

And last Friday night, they did it again.

Frederick Douglas scored 16 points as the Brothers completed an undefeated regular season with a 53-50 victory over host Briarcrest. CBHS, now 27-0 and ranked irst in the state in Division 2, will open the postseason at home against an opponent to be determined.

After trailing much of the second quarter, Briarcrest (24-8) battled back behind Micah Thomas (18 points) and Will Hrubes (17), who combined to score all but ive of Briarcrest’s 26 points after intermission.

Undra Wilson hit two late free throws to give CBHS a 53-50 lead, setting up Briarcrest’s inal possession to tie. Hrubes missed a three and after Douglas missed the front end of a one-and-one with 3.2 seconds left, they had one inal, slim chance.

But a 40-foot heave from Mark French bounced of the iron.

“Center Hill was a great atmosphere, St. George’s was a great atmosphere but we’ve been in a lot of big games,” said Douglas.

“We just had to keep pushing, play defense and listen to our leaders.”

Added Shun Alexander, who battled the taller Saints front line to score 11 points, “People told us that this would be our irst loss.

There was a lot of talk, a lot of hype about this game but we just ignored that.”

Five of CBHS’ last six victories have been ive points or less, dating back to their 46-43 win over Briarcrest on Jan. 23. And last Friday was more of the same.

Friends Anita Williams and Sophia Boulanger battle, overcome heart disease diagnoses

HEART to HEART Mishala Bryant Special to The Commercial Appeal

L

iving with an illness can be frightening.

But Anita Williams and Sophia Boulanger — friends, coworkers and heart disease survivors — were determined to not let heart disease take over their lives.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing one in three deaths each year.

Williams was 31 and had just given birth to her second son a few months prior when she irst experienced symptoms of what she thought was the lu.

“I was feeling very lightheaded,” she said. “I sat down in the living room, and my left arm began to tingle and ache all the way down to my hand.”

Williams realized she was experiencing symptoms of heart disease, which had claimed her father’s life at age 51.

She had her husband rush her to the emergency room, where

her blood pressure readings were at stroke levels. The emergency room physician assumed she had abused drugs and asked her outright if she had used cocaine.

Williams, who had never used drugs of any kind, was shocked by the question and answered no. A cardiologist came in and demanded further testing be done.

That evening, she had her irst heart procedure: a stent in her right coronary artery, which had a 90 percent blockage. Since then, she has undergone triple bypass surgery and another stent procedure.

Her own experience with heart disease has led Williams, who is now 51, to be mindful of others.

One evening in 2010, as she was leaving work at the Hilton Hotel in East Memphis with Boulanger, she noticed something was not right with her friend and colleague.

Boulanger stopped to catch her breath. Williams was aware that her friend had recently had heart surgery and suggested she call their mutual cardiologist, Dr. Stacy Smith, irst thing in the morning.

Boulanger heeded her friend’s advice, which potentially saved her life.

“Two days later, they found ive blockages that were 80 percent

blocked,” Boulanger said. “I underwent bypass surgery and was in the hospital for 12 days.”

Making the necessary dietary changes has been difficult for Boulanger, who is a self-professed lover of sweets and food from her Filipino heritage. Changing to a heart-healthy diet was a “rude awakening,” said Boulanger, who also sufers from diabetes.

Williams’ presence in Boulanger’s life, however, has had a positive impact.

“She’s deinitely a lot healthier than I am and I try to emulate some of her healthier habits,” Boulanger said. “It’s been good to talk to another heart survivor who understands what you’ve been through and constantly going through. She keeps me going and always encourages me especially when I’ve made the ‘right and healthier’ choices.”

Being co-workers is a blessing in disguise for both ladies. By watching out for one another, as well as keeping one another on track with their diets, they have both found strength to beat heart disease.

Are you in a dysfunctional relationship with food?

You are in a lifelong relationship — one you were born into and can’t live without. In a day and age when people are constantly getting married or divorced, hired or ired and approved or denied, what relationship am I describing?

I’m describing your relationship with food.

Perhaps you feel as though you are in an on-again, of-again relationship that could be summed up as “complicated.” Since breaking up is not an option, here are ive warning signs of an unhealthy relationship with food. By working through these issues, this relationship can gradually be rebuilt and restored to one of peace and health.

NO. 1: YOU ARE DATING DIETS. Diets tend to sweep people of their feet with promises of quick weight loss, but when the love affair is over, individuals are often left with weight gain, obsession with food, increased risk of binge eating and eating disorders. Dump the diet and focus on whole foods in order to restore your relationship with food.

Bear in mind that food is not your enemy. This is a relationship for life so nurture it. And somewhere along the way you might learn to enjoy it.

Good Health Memphis

NO. 2: YOU’VE STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH AND TRUSTING YOUR BODY ABOUT FOOD. You are born with hunger and satisfaction signals, the main the tools your body needs for communication about food. Due to society’s countless diet-related messages and other external rules for eating, people

BLAIR MIZE NUTRITION COLUMNIST

sometimes lose trust in their body’s ability to regulate their intake and weight using these natural signals.

A healthy relationship with food means trusting your body to provide hunger and satisfaction cues.

This concept is simple, but it is not always easy to put into practice.

NO. 3: PERFECTION IS EXPECTED. Do you beat yourself up about “imperfections” in your eating habits or appearance? Would your friends stick around if you talked to them the same way you talk to yourself? There is no such thing as a perfect diet or the perfect body.

Your body does not require an exact number of calories or precisely portioned meals. It is normal to eat more than your body needs sometimes and less than it needs at others. Most of the time our bodies are forgiving if treated with respect.

Perfection is not realistic and should not be required in any relationship, and food is no exception.

NO. 4: YOU DEPEND ON FOOD TO SATISFY YOUR EMOTIONAL NEEDS.

Do you rely on food in times of boredom, sadness, loneliness, stress or anger? It is normal to experience a wide range of emotions, but food can only satisfy hunger — a physical need. Emotions come and go, but if you do not feel equipped to handle them, try thinking of nonfood “exit strategies” such as talking to a friend, taking a walk or breathing deeply.

NO. 5: WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD, YOU’VE LOST YOUR IDENTITY. Are you able to enjoy your favorite foods, or are you obsessing over the numbers (on the nutrition label or the scale)? Have you started eating more or less than your body needs to function at its best? In healthy relationships, people maintain their individual identities. They feel okay to be separated for a while, but they are not apart for too long.

The same concept applies to food.

Maintaining your identity with food means being the healthiest version of yourself without changing who you really are. It means enjoying delicious foods in the amount your body needs — not anyone else’s.

Though you may identify with several of these warning signs, remember this: food is not the enemy. Your relationship with food is important and life-sustaining, and you do not have to give up foods you enjoy in order to live a healthy lifestyle.

Eric and Crista Bowman crossed the inish line hand-inhand at the 18th annual St. Valentine’s Day 10K. Afterward, the couple talked to their daughter, six-month-old Elliana Bowman, who was all smiles as her mommy and daddy greeted her.

RUN FOR YOUR LOVE Annual Valentine’s Day run fun for couples

By Kim Odom Special to The Weekly

A

s Lynnetta Phillips prepared to sing the national anthem at the annual St. Valentine’s Day 10K and 5K Run, Shan Criswell prepared to announce the 18th annual event.

It was the last time for Criswell, founder of the event, to announce the race as she steps in to her new position as assistant director of Bartlett Parks and Recreation.

She passes the reins to Tawny Walker, who currently is training for a new position of her own — facility manager at Singleton Community Center.

As Criswell reminisces about the irst St. Valentine’s Day race 18 years ago, she smiles — pleased with the growth and popularity of the event.

“Thanks to Rob Hunter and Lane Purser with the Memphis Runners Track Club,” Criswell explained, “They are responsible for having this race certiied. They’ve put a lot of efort and time into this annual event.”

Hunter is assistant race director and past president of the MRTC. Purser is known as the voice of the MRTC — kicking of races at the starting line of nearly every event oiciated by the MRTC, including the St. Valentine’s race.

For some participants the race is all about romantic gestures as couples paired up to run the Sweetheart Division in the 10K event. It’s their way of celebrating Valentine’s Day. Eric and Crista Bowman ran in the Sweetheart and individual divisions. Among fans waiting for them at the inish was their six-month-old daughter, Elliana Bowman, who was all smiles as the sweethearts crossed the line hand-in-hand with a time of 44:14. The time earned Crista the overall winning spot in the women’s category. It was Eric’s irst time to compete in the event.

“There are many repeat runners who come out and enjoy this event each year,” Criswell said.

“The 5K is lat and good for everybody. The 10K is a little more challenging for the more serious runners.”

David Sims of Collierville was among nearly 650 registered participants of the St. Valentine’s Day 10K and 5K event. It was his irst time participating in the annual race hosted at Bartlett Baptist Church. He runs three times a week to prepare for races like last Saturday’s 10K. He admits he’s not that competitive and participates for the fun of it.

“I come out for the exercise. It’s not a race for me,” said Sims. “It is a nice leisurely pace. It’s just fun to get out in the community. You meet some interesting people.”

As Criswell relects on past races, it brings a smile to her face. Last Saturday’s race featured cool temperatures and sunshine. “Today it feels great. In the past, we have been out here in the ice, snow, rain, you name it,” Criswell said. “Today we have a beautiful day. And it wouldn’t be a success without the MRTC, the BPD, various sponsors and the many volunteers who show up every year to help out.”

To see a list of the award winners of the St. Valentine’s Day 10K & 5K Run, visit racesonline. com/events/valentine-s-day-10k-5k-run-walk/ results/2015/awards.

Michelle Myers of Collierville was the irst woman to cross the inish line in the 5K run. The irst 50 women to inish received a red carnation.

Pierce Hill, 9, Kade Hill, 7, and TJ Kloth stretch before the Valentine’s Day run.

Lynnetta Phillips sang the national anthem at the St. Valentine’s Day event at Bartlett Baptist Church.

This year, 642 participants crossed the inish line at the 18th annual St. Valentine’s 10K and 5K Run, hosted at Bartlett Baptist Church.

Two familiar faces at the 18th annual St. Valentine’s Day 10K and 5K Run are Rob Hunter and Lane Purser. Hunter is assistant race director of the Memphis Runners Track Club.

Purser is known as the voice of the MRTC. He kicks of every MRTC oiciated race at the starting line.

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.

Somebody who specializes in men’s sexual health.

After extensive 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”.

What color is your favorite pill?

Roger Li, a student at Collierville High School, and Xiaohan Zhan, a student at White Station High School, have been selected for the 2015 High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall.

Li, a senior, and Zhan, a sophomore, auditioned last fall for the Honors Performance Series and were accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. Acceptance to the elite group is a direct result of the talent, dedication and achievements
