Germantown Weekly GERMANTOWN

City chosen for pilot program Haslam aiming for healthier population

By Kristi Ransom Special to The Weekly

On March 11, Governor Bill Haslam selected the city of Germantown as a pilot community for the Governor’s Foundation for a Healthier Tennessee. Representing Germantown at the announcement was Alderman Forrest Owens and city of Germantown HR director Steve Wilensky.

Germantown is among nine pilot cities for the Healthier Tennessee Communities Program and the only city in west Tennessee.

Other communities selected for the initiative are Decatur, Dyer, Loudon, McMinn and Rhea counties, along with the cities of Franklin, Kingsport and Tullahoma.

“The opportunity to participate in Governor Haslam’s initiative is a tremendous honor and a perfect fit for Germantown. We have an award winning parks department, a family-friendly athletic club, extensive citywide bike lanes, plans to expand our Greenway and a robust health care sector,” said Mayor Mike Palazzolo.

Owens and Wilensky will serve as chairmen for a Germantown Wellness Council.

This council will concentrate on improving the health of Germantown residents through measurable focus in three key lifestyle areas: physical activity, healthy eating habits and smoking cessation.

To become involved in Healthy Germantown or for more information, call Wilensky, Healthy Germantown Wellness Champion, at 901-757-7250.

No brew-haha Collierville board going with the low on growlers

T

he doorbell rang frequently, signaling customers arriving at Collierville’s On Tap Growlers, as coowner Steve Madden watched admiringly.

He says business at the suburbs’ only craft beer shop has exceeded expectations, considering it opened Jan. 27 and two bad weather weeks chilled business.

Still, he and co-owners John Phillips and Jimmy Conlan had a plan on tap to boost sales of the increasingly popular brew — one sip at a time.

As allowed at state-regulated liquor stores, they wanted patrons to sample from among the shop’s 28 beers before choosing what to fill a 32- or 64-ounce growler.

“Everyone wants to have a taste,” said Madden, whose store is at 911 W. Poplar. “We’re selling the same product they’re selling, but I have to sell it with my hand tied behind my back.”

What is a growler?: It’s usually a glass jug that’s 32 ounces or 64 ounces that is used to transport draft beer. It usually has either a screw-on cap or a porcelain gasket cap.

Storing: Store in a dry, cool place; a refrigerator is the best option.

Unopened, the beer lasts about 7 to 10 days, sometimes longer if carbon dioxide is injected; once opened, no more than 2-3 days.

Reuse: Containers can be reused; rinse with hot water after use, then allow bottle to dry upside down or leave small amount of water; establishment should sanitize it before refilling.

The Iranian American Association of Memphis brought Persian culture to Germantown on March 17 for the annual Fire Jumping Festival.

The event is a traditional part of the Persian New Year celebration. The new year begins on the first day of spring.

Shahab Sadeghi, one of the group’s organizers, said the fire jumping tradition dates back thousands

of years.

“It’s supposed to bring power and life to your new year,” he said.

Sadehi said the group has about 300 active members.

About 150 attended the March 17 festivities, which included a performance from Amber Lea, a professional fire dancer from Cordova.

Sadehi said with “everything go on” politically with Iran, the group hopes to show the Memphis area another side of their heritage. Their events are open to the public.

“We are hoping to introduce the true Iranian culture,” he said.

municipal School Board approves budget Textbooks, classiied staf get funds boost

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

The Germantown Municipal School Board on Monday gave inal approval to a 2015-16 budget that gives a 2 percent pay increase to classiied staf but does not give teachers additional pay if they have advanced degrees.

The $44 million budget also includes $1 million more than was spent this school year on new textbooks, but does not provide extra funding to the transportation department to help do away with a 7 a.m. start time at two schools.

The board approved the budget 4-0, with member Mark Dely absent, on second reading in a meeting at Riverdale School.

For the irst reading of the budget during a meeting at Houston Middle last month,

workers, received a raise because it had not had one in at least four years.

The increase will cost the district about $36,000.

Teachers will receive step raises as part of the budget. But paying teachers more for advanced degrees, Manuel said, would have cost $114,000 for just this year.

He said he has heard complaints from several teachers about Germantown not paying more for advanced degrees, a

concept known as paying along “educational lanes.”

It’s also something that could hurt Germantown’s competition for the best teachers, as Collierville Schools pays both step increases and funds educational lanes.

Other additions to next year’s budget include a specialeducation coordinator, three elementary school interventionists and three additional positions to teach Chinese in the elementary schools.

In brief

St. george’S independent School

from 1 First, however, Collierville would need to amend its alcoholic beverages ordinance since on-site drinking is only permitted where at least one hot meal is served daily and 70 percent of revenues are food sales. That meant the Board of Mayor and Aldermen would have to approve a new beer permit classiication for growler stores.

“I was very apprehensive about it,” said Madden, 45, who has lived in Collierville since high school.

“I had always heard there’s only going to be three liquor stores in Collierville.

To some, this came across as this was just going to be another liquor store.”

Assistant Town Administrator Josh Suddath was contacted and started researching.

He checked comparable cities in the state and found Cleveland tweaked its ordinance in 2013 to allow growler stations to serve samples.

“We weren’t commiserating with his circumstances,” he said. “We saw it was something that it with our peer cities.”

Suddath said he discussed the ordinance change with Mayor Stan Joyner, aldermen and beer board members before it went on the agenda. On March 9, the mayor and aldermen approved a permit allowing a customer to have as many as ive 1-ounce samples. The beer board gave its OK on March 10. Tasting started the next day at On Tap Growlers.

Changes are brewing across the state following last year’s adjustments to wine and beer laws.

Last July, liquor stores were allowed to open growler stations and start selling low-gravity beer (6.25 percent or less alcohol by volume) as well as food and accessories.

The stores will face increased competition in July 2016 when wine hits supermarket and convenience store shelves. Beginning in January 2017, high-gravity beer (10 percent alcohol by volume) will be available at supermarkets, convenience stores and growler stations.

In Collierville, Poplar Wine and Spirits, 2136 W. Poplar, opened an eighttap growler station in July.

Cheers Wine and Spirits, 366 New Byhalia, plans to feature a station soon.

“We as a market are a couple years behind the trend,” said Jason Northcutt of Poplar Wine and Spirits. “People are waking up to the idea that there are other kinds of beer they can try.”

There are several places in Memphis besides liquor stores and breweries to get a growler illed.

At Whole Foods, 5104 Poplar, samples are allowed because the store features a restaurant. Periodic tastings are held at the Madison Growler and Bottle Shop in Cash Saver, 1620 Madison. David Smith, owner of The Growler at 921 S. Cooper, said the Memphis Alcohol Commission approved sampling despite food not being served.

Smith sees more growler shops opening once high-gravity sales start.

Other suburban cities may have to adjust their ordinances to accommodate.

“I would think the beer boards want to see Germantown, Collierville and other places do well,’’ he said, “so they’ll make concessions.”

more than 200 people came and more than 40 spoke on the starttime issue.

The room was split down the middle, with some wanting a later start time and others wanting the district to save the money it would take to pay for extra buses if schools started later.

About two dozen people came to Monday’s meeting, but no one spoke on any issue.

Before the meeting, Supt. Jason Manuel said the classiied staf, which includes clerical

“If you look at the children’s faces, it tells the whole story,” said Jane Finney, a kindergarten teacher who started the Dads in the Woods Day, an annual event for 5- and 6-year-olds to hang out with their fathers.

Alcohol, Xanax in cBhS wreck victims

Two Christian Brothers students killed in a Feb. 14 traic accident both were legally drunk — the driver more than three times the presumptive limit of intoxication — and had evidence of Xanax in their systems, Collierville police said.

Capt. S.P. Williams, quoting from the Shelby County medical examiner’s report, said the driver showed a blood-alcohol level of .251, while the passenger’s BAC registered .119. Tennessee driving under the inluence laws consider a blood-alcohol level of .08 a presumption of intoxication.

The initial accident report states police were called to the area after a witness saw a 2009 Ininiti sedan of the side of Reynolds Road. The victims still were inside the car.

The car struck one tree, continued south and struck a second tree before it inally hit a third tree, coming to rest with its back wheels in the air.

When kids, dads mix in an outdoor setting, it’s magical

G E R M A N T OW N

city to ofer free emergency classes

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

When Jane Finney, a kindergarten teacher at St. George’s Independent School, decided a quarter-century ago that every grade at the school deserved a day outside, it began a tradition that continued last Friday at the school’s Collierville campus.

Five- and 6-year-olds spent the day with their fathers tromping through the wooded areas of the campus a short distance south of the Wolf River, interacting and bonding not only with their parent, but also their classmates in one of the school’s sweetest traditions.

“Fifth-graders have the Mud Trudge. Fourth-graders go to Reelfoot,” Finney said in explaining Dads in the Woods Day at St. George’s. “If you just look at the children’s faces, it tells the whole story.”

Besides having an honest-togoodness woods on its upper school campus in Collierville, St. George’s also has city and suburban students, whose lives are miles apart on both the physical and metaphysical map.

In the one time students from the Germantown and Memphis campuses come together as kindergartners, it helps if everyone is on the same footing, muddy as it was. In nine stations in the woods, the students and their fathers stretched their limits, self-consciously at irst, singing, measuring, drawing and trusting people they barely knew to stay upright on obstacle courses thick with leaves and winter detritus.

“At this age, mothers usually take care of everything,” Finney said. “We planned this for the dads, and we remind them all year to keep this day open.”

Kids and grown-ups had a picnic and went through about 10 diferent teambuilding obstacles in the course stations set up in the school’s adjacent woods.

As part of a scavenger hunt game, Michael Clark (right) is pulled on a sled by the group of his daughter Allie (third from right).

On paper, the idea is to build ties strong enough so when kindergartners are sixth-graders, and all are attending the middle school at the Collierville campus, they’ll have a kinship that extends through to their families.

Fourteen years ago, St. George’s opened the Memphis campus 3749 Kimball. Most of the students are on scholarship.

Of the roughly 20 students who were the kindergarten class seven years ago, 16-17 arrived at the Collierville campus last fall as sixthgraders, naturally adding diversity, part of the school’s mission.

“We took the school to them, but at some point, everyone is going to come together,” said Bill Taylor, the school president. “If they know each other, it’s a more natural transition.”

In that spirit, second-graders from both campuses were Downtown last Friday, building more bridges.

The day in the woods for kindergartners and their dads started at 11:30 with a picnic, followed by team-building sites and concluding with a cookies and lemonade send-of at 2 p.m.

“You could tell the kids who are used to hunting with their dads

and are used to being the woods,” said Terrence Brooks, watching his daughter Jamiya Brooks, 6, dance over puddles. “Kids from the city are a little more apprehensive about getting muddy.

“Just to see her experience this and enjoying herself is all the enjoyment I need,” he said.

Jake Coleman, who works at Raymond James, took the day of with some apprehension, he said, because he could think of no easy way to be away from work from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

“It was so worth it,” he said.

Ricky Higginbottom was having his own transformation. The bus driver and maintenance worker at St. George’s was recruited March 16 to stand in as a dad for a boy whose father couldn’t attend.

“I was overwhelmed by it,” he said quietly from an impromptu seat on a damp log. “I was just like a stranger, but he took to me real great. We ate lunch together.

Then he asked me to hold his jacket while he got organized.

“If his parents can’t come the next time, I told (school leaders) to make sure they notify me. I would like to be a mentor to him.”

The city of Germantown is ofering a free class on emergency preparedness.

The 20-hour course covers disaster preparedness, fire suppression, basic medical operations, light search and rescue and team operations, the city said in a release.

The training will allow participants to be part of the Community Emergency Response Team, in which members help in their neighborhoods or workplaces during an emergency until professional crews arrive.

Classes take place Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and April 11 at 8:30 a.m. at Fire Station 4, 3031 Forest Hill-Irene Road. For more information or to register, contact Sherrye Harris at 901-757-7203 or saharris@ germantown-tn.gov.

Firefighters train for vehicular accidents Special to The Weekly

In 2014, the Collierville Fire Department responded to 3,062 emergency medical calls with an average response time of 4 minutes, 58 seconds.

To respond and take control of emergency situations is the outcome of more than 3,800 hours of annual specialized training.

“Collierville ireighters do three things — train, train and train,” said Collierville Fire Chief Jerry Crawford. “There is no time to train during a live, emergency situation, which is why we simulate these scenarios.”

Earlier this month, the Collierville Fire Department received a donation of wrecked cars from Pull-A-Part, a used auto parts store in Memphis, to use for training. On a vacant ield of Progress Road, ireighters created simulated scenarios of vehicular accidents. Starting with a call from dispatch, the crew arrived fully dressed on a iretruck.

“This particular scenario is a wrecked car on an interstate,” explained paramedic Lt. Joe Lee Rape. “It is lipped over and resting on a concrete traic barrier.

Fireighters identiied the num-

Once the car was stabilized, Collierville firefighters used hydraulic rescue tools to remove the four doors.

ber of patients and now must stabilize the vehicle in order to remove the patients from the car.”

Once they unloaded from the truck, the ireighters worked the scene as if it were a real emergency. Constantly communicating, the crew worked together to stabilize the car — using tools including hydraulic rescue mechanisms such as the “Jaws of Life” to safely remove the car doors.

“The ‘Jaws of Life’ has the power to move 15,000 pounds,” said Crawford. “Our ire ighters are learning to use this in a con-

trolled environment to be able to safely respond during a live emergency.”

After removing all four doors of the vehicle, Rape said they were going to move the car back on its wheels to practice taking the top of for the next scenario.

“We need to be able to practice getting in a car with limited access. These guys did really well with this irst one,” Rape said.

To view a video of Collierville ireighters removing parts of the car, visit the town’s YouTube channel.

Five sets of siblings find home at Silvercreek

By Linda Bourassa Special to The Weekly

Nobody said it quite like baseball great, Yogi Berra: “It’s like déjà vu all over again!”

The past repeats itself at Silvercreek Senior Living Community in Olive Branch, where ive sets of siblings ind themselves living happily under the same roof.

Virginia Strickland Walker and her sister, Mary Ann Wheeler, have apartments near each other. They enjoy their fun time at meals together. According to Virginia, “The food is fabulous and the employees are great.”

Fran Foley and her sister, Mae Facello, are from Sardis, and as Fran says, “I love her dearly. Glad she and I are together. She has a great sense of humor and is very witty.” They especially enjoy the Bingo parties at Silvercreek.

Juanita Carr and her brother, William Crosno, each have apartments at Silvercreek. William and his wife, Dorothy, are happy to be so near Juanita and especially enjoy the afternoons with her. Meals together are a special time and bring back sweet memories of their childhood.

Mazie Vinson and elder sister, Juanita Olsteen, lived in the tri-state area most of their lives. Born in Jonesboro, Ark., they grew up in the Collierville area, and then moved back to Stuttgart, Ark. With a younger brother living in Memphis,

Sisters Mazie Vinson and Juanita “Sissy” Olsteen enjoy being together at Silvercreek Senior Living.

it made sense that the sisters would relocate to be near family. They now enjoy apartments near each other.

Sisters Lenora Anthony and Lorene Anthony were married to brothers and lived most of their lives in the Germantown/ Collierville area. Now they have apartments down the hall from each other and can have meals together and visit any time they like. In true “sisters” fashion, Lenora notes that her older sister Lorene is “loving and thoughtful.

And always the boss.”

In the News BASS PRO SHOPS

‘Johnny’s legacy’ Bass Pro founder the visionary behind vast Pyramid store in Memphis

By Ted Evanof evanof@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2292

“Johnny just ordered two more pine trees.”

Clad in a hard hat and construction boots, Alan Barner nods to a dim corner of what soon will resemble a cypress swamp, complete with live ish, inside The Pyramid.

For months, about 600 workers have labored to strip out the 20,142 seats and remake the riverside arena into Bass Pro Shops at The Pyramid, a $100 millionplus tourist destination scheduled to open May 1.

Memphians have heard talk of an observation deck, waterfowl museum, bowling alley, target ranges, alligators, luxury hotel and America’s biggest retail store. What they haven’t heard is who dreamed all this up.

His name is Johnny Morris.

Bass Pro Inc.’s founder, age 67, is wagering his Memphis creation can draw more than 1 million visitors each year from throughout the nation.

“This is really Johnny’s legacy project,” said Barner, senior project manager at The Pyramid for O.T. Marshall Architects of Memphis. “He’s spent countless hours inside this building.”

Ten years ago, Memphis civic leaders called on Morris in his oice in Springield, Mo. They urged him to ill an aged sports arena on a faded block in a worn part of their old river city with a new store. He did not dismiss the idea as the worst he had ever heard.

“I did kind of scratch my head,” said the soft-spoken for-

mer ishing lure salesman.

No stranger to ishing the Mississippi River, Morris then visited the Memphis riverfront, entered The Pyramid, started thinking, and said he sensed an extraordinary store might be in reach.

“I don’t know of any other retail project in the country that can match the physiJohnny cal space and all Morris that’s going into this store,” Morris said. “This is so vast.”

Once a pro angler, he started Bass Pro in 1972 in a former Springfield liquor store. He launched Bass Tracker boats six years later.

Each year, about 100 million people walk into Morris’ chain of Bass Pro Shops and walk out with enough hunting, ishing and outdoor gear to make him the 405th-richest person on Earth by Forbes magazine’s latest count.

The original Springield superstore attracts nearly 4 million visitors each year. Other than Springield, none of the stores — there are about ive dozen in the United States and Canada with combined annual sales surpassing $2.6 billion — stands out as the appealing draw for someone in say, Atlanta, to drive hour after hour expressly to visit a distant Bass Pro. Morris said he decided he could ramp up that national destination by making The Pyramid a tribute to waterfowl, the Mississippi River, the seasonal continental migration of wild ducks and Bass Pro itself.

Photos by brad Vest/the CommerCial aPPeal

A mermaid sculpture overlooks Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Grill, one of the attractions in the megastore set to open May 1 at The Pyramid. Each detail of the massive project has progressed under the watchful eye of Bass Pro founder Johnny Morris, who said he was at first intimidated by the size of the undertaking.

By ThE nuMBErs $176 million: City of memphis bonds repaid from downtown sales taxes, including about $100 million to buy shelby County’s portion of the Pyramid $30 million-plus: bass Pro shops expenditure 1 million: annual visitors projected 535,000: square-feet for retail loor space 1,800: live ish in ponds, tanks 1,000-plus: stufed animals 600: employees 100: hotel rooms 32: cypress, pine and other trees 13: bowling alley lanes 3: aquariums, restaurants, pistol range lanes, archery range lanes 1: observation deck, spa

“It certainly sounds like a destination that will draw people from a broad region,” said market analyst John O’Neil, who studies the $50 billion outdoor lifestyle industry for investment bank Imperial Capital in Boston.

Morris early on copied the Wal-Mart and Sears model of relying on catalogs and stores.

Now he’s moving ahead with a concept the big retailers never tried — display wares in a setting that looks like the place where merchandise is intended to be used.

And there’s the arms race. Bass Pro is adding two dozen U.S. and Canadian stores as chief rival Cabela’s expands across the continent. Each sells products stamped with its own name. Cabela’s leans toward hunters, Bass Pro anglers, although Wal-Mart sells more hunting and ishing goods than both combined.

“It’s a roll of the dice but it’s not that much of a roll,” said Robert Lipscomb, Memphis’ housing and community development director, who visited Morris 10 years ago to let him know an empty riverfront arena was available.

“People don’t realize how dificult this is for Bass Pro to do,” Lipscomb said. “It wasn’t like they were looking for a Pyramid.

It’s outside their business model.

It’s really Johnny Morris.”

The city has committed $176 million to the project using bonds, a kind of loan, to be repaid over 30 years using Downtown sales tax revenue. Part of the money was spent shoring up The Pyramid against lood and earthquakes, including $100 million for projects unrelated directly to The Pyramid.

Bass Pro hasn’t revealed its spending. Asked if the total was $30 million, Morris replied, “More. Way, way more.”

Morris almost backed of. Early on, the magnitude stunned him.

S TOCK UP &

SAVE

ON O UR MEN’S SPORTS W E A R

“That physical structure is almost intimidating,” Morris said.

“To me it wasn’t an easy decision to commit to building. Right up to the day we had to make our press announcement, I was often torn by the decision.”

He tells this story: A few days before he had to say yes or no, he took friend Bill Dance, a pro angler well known in Memphis, and Jack Emmit, Bass Pro’s irst fishing department manager, ishing.

Morris decided if they hauled in a big catish it was a sign to proceed. If not, he would walk away from The Pyramid. They caught and released a 40-pounder. He dialed the oice, and remembers he told his staf, “It’s meant to be.”

Morris now is ready to open a massive store spread through what resembles a rustic ishing camp located in a cypress swamp.

“Our success is dependent on this truly becoming more of a destination store,” Morris said. “When things are over the top enough, when you get that word-of-mouth, people saying, ‘You have to see this,’ and when hunting and ishing buddies say, ‘I’ve heard about this and we’ve got to go see it,’ we think that’s going to be a big key to our success.”

One of the many large cypress trees is seen covered in moss inside of the new Bass Pro Shops megastore in The Pyramid.

Entering Bass Pro Shops at The Pyramid is like walking into a huge store set inside a natural science museum made to resemble a charming old fishing camp.

During a recent tour, merchandise was being stocked and exhibits were being completed, although the project was far enough along to provide a sense of what it will look like on opening day May 1.

Pathways weave among ponds to be stocked with live ish and fed by a threestory waterfall running over a rock wall.

Spread along the main loor and the pathways is 535,000 square-feet of loor space for merchandise.

Paths converge at a large elevator running to the 32nd-floor observation deck looking out on the city, the Delta and the Mississippi River. A catish aquarium and upscale restaurant are planned here.

At the foot of the elevators are live alligator ponds.

Look up, and it’s as if trees 100 feet tall stretch toward the roof. Coveys of mallards, wood duck and other wildfowl fashioned like live birds hang in the air. The original Pyramid ceiling also remains visible.

Look ahead and replicas of 32 cypress, pine and

other lora tower over the ponds. Plans call for 1,800 live ish in the ponds and aquariums and more than 1,000 stufed animals.

Nearby, a tin-roofed fishing shack serves as a general store. Another contains a restaurant. On the second loor, a ishing shack sells ly-ishing supplies. Its loft contains a hotel suite.

Rimming loors two and three — no fourth story is inside the building — are the 80 rooms and 20 suites of Big Cypress Lodge, a Bass Pro luxury hotel.

Inside Big Cypress rooms, deer antlers serve as doorknobs on the closet doors. Each bathroom contains a Jacuzzi, bathtub, shower, twin vanity and gas ireplace. A screened porch with rocking chairs overlooks the tree trunks ahead and shoppers below.

Nearby are a 200-person conference center and a massage and nail salon.

The wooden craftsman theme, carried throughout the facility, is used to set of the special rooms. One houses the 13-lane bowling alley and accompanying bar and restaurant, where Bass Pro’s mural artists hand-painted underwater scenes.

There’s also the 12-foot diameter saltwater aquarium, Ducks Unlimited heritage museum, laser-gun duck hunting counter, and the three-lane pistol and archery target ranges.

Former GHS student works on nominated film, attends Academy Awards

GCT announces 2015-2016 lineup, schedule

Special to The Weekly

Chris McKinley, a former Germantown resident and graduate of Germantown High School, recently attended the Academy Awards in Hollywood to celebrate the nomination of the documentary “Finding Vivian Maier,” which he worked on as West Coast editor and associate producer.

McKinley’s career started at Germantown High School with his most inf luential teacher, friend and mentor, Frank Blues-

tein, former chairman of the GHS ine arts department. As the general manager of GHS TV and lighting director for both the TV station and Poplar Pike Playhouse, McKinley built a good foundation for what was to come.

He later attended and graduated from the University of Southern California’s ilm school where between classes, he worked at TrojanVision, the USC TV station on campus.

$1M gift music to Symphony Orchestra’s ears

By John Beifuss beifuss@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2394

The Memphis Symphony Orchestra has received a gift of $1 million to expand its education and outreach programs and thus increase the income of its musicians, who this year experienced deep pay cuts.

The donation from the Memphis-based Helen and Jabie Hardin Charitable Trust will consist of two $500,000 awards, earmarked for the symphony’s 201516 and 2016-17 seasons.

“This is an extraordinary gift that we hope will serve as a building block to ensure the orchestra’s success for some time to come,” said Roland Valliere, symphony president and CEO, who formally announced the donation before last Saturday night’s Masterworks concert at the Cannon Center.

“This really ofers reason for hope,” said Valliere. “The musicians have experienced such

sacriice over the past year, so here’s an investment in them.”

The symphony’s contracted musicians this year accepted their second pay cut in ive years, as the inancially struggling orchestra’s season was re- Roland duced from 39 to 24 weeks. Valliere This resulted in a pay cut of about 38 percent per musician, symphony oicials said. The cuts were needed to enable the symphony to reduce its budget to $3.2 million, Valliere said.

The musicians include 36 “core” players, who receive weekly salaries, and 39 others who are paid on a per-service basis. The reduced season meant not only fewer concerts, but also fewer of the education and outreach opportunities that provide the musicians with a great deal of extra income.

The Hardin gift isn’t intended to enable the symphony to expand its concert season, Valliere said, although a small expansion

is possible. Instead, it enables the organization to increase its outreach to schools, libraries and elsewhere, with the money being used to compensate the musicians for their participation in the events.

“I think the musicians are worthy of having some help,” said Jeanette Cooley, a long-standing member of the Memphis Symphony League, which supports the orchestra. She is also a member of the committee that oversees the six-year-old Hardin Charitable Trust, which is administered through First Tennessee Bank and has made major contributions to the Memphis Zoo, the Salvation Army, the University of Memphis and Memphis Botanic Garden.

The trust was established by the late philanthropist Helen Hardin, a year after the death of her husband, Jabez Sanford “Jabie” Hardin, founder of HardinSysco Food Services.

SPECTACULAR SERVICE!

Germantown Community Theatre’s 2015-2016 season will blend music, theater for youth, classic literature and raucous fun.

■ All Children’s Theatre will put on “Inherit the Wind” July 31-Aug. 9. Based on the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, the play is a high-intensity legal drama that GCT is proud to present through its All Children’s Theatre Program.

The play follows Ben Cates as he is put on trial for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution to his high school science class. As the trial unfolds, audiences are led on a search for truth and asked to consider their own limits when it comes to freedom of thought.

■ “Rumors” runs Sept. 11-27 at GCT. Guests are invited to the craziest dinner party of the season. This farce opens with a seemingly innocent anniversary party that quickly becomes a tangle of gunshots, afairs, politicians and, of course, rumors.

■ “Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash” opens Oct. 23 and ends Nov. 8. Any fan of Johnny Cash’s music will instantly fall in love with “Ring of Fire.” The play weaves a generations-long story of home and family, all through the music of the Man in Black.

■ The Christmas classic, “Miracle on 34th Street: A Live Radio Play” will run Dec. 4-20.

Families will be delighted in this 1940s style radio play presented live on the GCT stage.

The show is complete with onstage sound efects and Hollywood starlets.

■ “Love Letters” opens Jan. 29 and runs until Valentine’s Day. “Love Letters” is a 50year love afair carried out through the art of the pen.

■ “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” a musical comedy, is based on the 1988 ilm of the same name and set in the colorful world of the French Riviera.

Master con-artists Lawrence and Freddy challenge each other to a bet. The irst one to swindle $50,000 out of an unsuspecting woman, wins. The play runs March 11-26.

■ The classic novel “A Street Car Named Desire” makes its way to GCT April 15-May 1. One of Tennessee William’s most popular plays, “A Street Car Named Desire” tells the story of fragile Southern belle, Blanche, who leaves the family plantation house and moves to New Orleans to live with her sister, Stella, and her animalistic husband, Stanley. Once there, she quickly gets a gritty life lesson in the steamy underbelly of 1940s French Quarter life.

■ “I Hate Hamlet” runs May 20-June 5. The play’s plot revolves around hot, young television star, Andrew Rally, who needs to make a big career move. He moves to New York, where he is ofered the role of a lifetime in “Hamlet.” One big problem — he hates Hamlet.

■ All Children’s Theatre wraps up the season with “Disney’s My Son Pinocchio Jr.” June 24-July 3. The play is the classic Pinocchio story told from Geppetto’s perspective.

Renee Davis Brame is the operations director for Germantown Community Theatre.

Panthers score walk-of victory over Dragons Win with pinchhit single by junior Landon Caldwell

By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

By the time summer nears, Bartlett and Collierville will be their usual scary selves on the baseball ield, irmly in the mix for a shot at a state Class AAA championship.

But on one of the irst real springlike nights of the year Monday, the Panthers and Dragons slogged through the kind of early-season game that usually happens following a harsh winter.

In the end, the host Panthers (7-2) scratched out a 6-5 victory as senior irst baseman Jonathan Bowlan stroked a seventh-inning leadof double against reliever Clay Murphy (0-1), moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a walk-of pinch single by junior Landon Caldwell.

“He’s one of the best bunters on the team, and we brought him in for the sacriice,” Bartlett coach Josh Stewart said. “But when Jonathan moved to third, we let him swing away.”

Both teams are senior-laden with plenty of stars who have committed to, or signed with, area colleges for next season.

And Monday featured a pitching matchup of right-handers — Bartlett’s Nick Bramlett and Collierville’s Alex Hicks — who will be among the area’s best aces by season’s end.

Hicks, a University of Memphis signee, had been of to a strong start — until Monday night. In ive innings he walked

ive, and gave up ive earned runs. Two scored on an Andrew Miller double in the irst, and the Panthers made it 5-0 in the third on an RBI single by Bowlan, a ielders choice and a run-scoring double by Christian Busby. Hicks struck out eight, but allowed the leadof hitter to reach in each of the ive innings he worked.

“We’ve had trouble scoring runs, but our pitching has been outstanding, especially Alex, but tonight he just didn’t have it,” said Collierville coach Jef Hopkins, whose Dragons (7-6) have lost four of their last ive — all one-run defeats. “Normally, Alex has that good sinking fastball, but tonight it stayed lat, and Bartlett didn’t miss on too many opportunities.”

Bramlett, 8-3 a year ago, is one of eight senior pitchers who cut their teeth a year ago and will be the backbone for this Panther squad. The Columbia State Community College commitment cruised through the irst three innings, giving up two hits and fanning three. The Dragons strung together three straight singles, the last by C.J. Fleming making it 5-1 in the fourth.

Bartlett then had its mini-nightmare in the ifth.

Bramlett issued back-to-back one-out walks, and then the Panthers sufered back-to-back inield miscues to make it 5-2. After a strikeout, it looked like Fleming had hit an inning-ending ly ball to right, but it was misplayed. That cleared the bases, and tied the game.

Bramlett struck out the next batter, and got through the sixth with just an inield hit. Senior Jackson South (2-0) kept the Dragons of the board in the seventh, striking out two, and was rewarded with the win.

Alex Hicks of Collierville takes the mound to start the game against Bartlett. The Panthers beat the Dragons 6-5.

Senior Nick Bramlett was the starting pitcher for Bartlett. He shut down the Dragons for the first three innings and left after six innings with the game tied at 5.

Collierville’s Ryan Tow attempts to slide to safety, but Bartlett’s Jonathan Bowlan beats him to the plate.

Best of the Preps Player of the Year Bayleigh Wisher (center) returns for Collierville after compiling a 20-5 record with a 1.22 ERA, and hitting .477 with 13 home runs and 55 RBIs.

Dragons forever

By Pete Wickham Special to the Weekly

W

asn’t it just yesterday that Bayleigh Wisher and her Collierville Dragon teammates were all just little kids? Didn’t know enough to be scared of the competition, ready to let the world know “Here we are … Deal with it.”

But in high school sports, that beginning always comes with an ending. Kids grow up fast and suddenly ind that there are more yesterdays than there are tomorrows when it comes to their prep careers. So it is with the bulk of a very accomplished Dragons squad that went 64-24 the past two years, years that ended with too-brief appearances in the state Class AAA tournament.

It’s the last time around for Wisher & Co., and Dragons coach Mike Bradley said they are ready.

“The season can be very special,” said Bradley, whose team is of to a 7-1 start, including a runner-up inish in an earlyseason tournament in Alabama. “They’ve already proven they can play. They’ve tasted success. But they would love to inish it on a high note, inish what they started. To do that, we’ve got to keep playing team ball and avoid injuries.”

Wisher, a University of Memphis signee, certainly ills the bill. She led her team from the mound, where she went 20-5 with a 1.22 ERA and 165 strikeouts in 120

Collierville looks forward to golden season

innings. And from the plate, where she hit .477 (.561 OBP) with 13 homers and 54 RBI. And the Dragons are double-barreled in the pitching department with junior Kelsey Gross (15-7, 1.40 ERA, 131 K in 109.2 innings, .396 BA, 6 homers, 34 RBI). Wisher won The Commercial Ap-

peal’s Best of the Preps Softball Player of the Year award, while Gross was also among the nominees.

That’s the focal point, but there are ive other senior starters with the same sense of urgency — C Jacqueline Conlan (.241, 12 RBI), 3B Kari Kennel (.302), LF Brooke Castillo, CF Hannah Oliver (.298, 22 RBI, 11 steals), and RF Eli Burriss. Collectively this team hit .309 with a .435 OBP. Conlon, Kennel, Oliver, Wisher and Gross were named to the BOP All-Metro squad.

Oliver and Conlan will be headed to CBU while Castillo is committed to Dyersburg State Community College.

Equally senior-laden is rival Houston (20-17), who lost out to Munford in the sectional round. Pitcher Jenna Cotter (2.90 ERA, .425 BA), SS Kathryn Peterson (.485), C Mary Collins (365), CF Madison Studstill (.351) and OF Maggie Crigler (.350) are back for coach Matt Parker’s squad, which has started the year 3-2. So is sophomore 2B Michelle Myers, who hit .398 as a freshman. Collins, Cotter and Peterson were All-Metro picks as juniors.

Cotter will play for CBU next year, while Collins is headed to Trevecca Nazarene.

Collierville ties; remains undefeated Motroni’s goal helps Dragons tie Bartlett 1-1

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

The high school soccer season is still in its opening act. But Bartlett coach Robby Midyett feels like has team has already earned some positive reviews.

The visiting Panthers played Collierville — last season’s AAA state runners-up — to a virtual standstill Tuesday inishing all tied at 1-1. And although Midyett was a little unhappy not to get the victory, he certainly wasn’t complaining.

“Sure we’re a little disappointed,” he said.

“But we’re out to rewrite some scripts this year. We haven’t beaten the Colliervilles and Houstons in the past.

“But we have nine seniors this year and a heavy junior class and they want to do what other teams (before) haven’t been able to. It would have been nice to edge it out, but I’m happy.”

One of those veterans — senior Ebrahim Allouzi — set up Bartlett’s goal 10 minutes into the game, delivering a ine corner kick that sophomore Semir Eldahan headed into the net.

The goal seemed to ignite Collierville (2-03), which had started a bit slowly. The Dragons tied it up 13 minutes later when junior Justin Motroni scored on a breakaway after Collierville caught

“That’s not a time for a

mental break” said Collierville coach Drew Hensarling. “We get the ball and (claps hands) bam! We’re

of. We didn’t come out to play, and I think Bartlett had this game circled on their calendar.

“We ended their season last year in the sectionals, and that Monday morning, they were turning in their jerseys while we were getting on a bus going to state.”

Bartlett was perhaps unlucky not to get a winner, especially in the closing moments when a pair of brave saves from new Collierville keeper Caleb Enzor preserved the tie.

“At halftime, I told them ‘if it’s not broken, don’t ix it,’” said Midyett. “But after our goal, I think we played a little of their game. But we kept our composure.”

High school baseball is in full swing. So with that in mind, here are some teams that will compete for postseason honors.

Arlington: Chris Ring’s Tigers won District 14AAA last season en route to a 29-6 finish. Reese Brewer, a 6-6 right-hander, anchors the pitching staf, but several young players will have to step up, led by freshmen Hunter Goodman and Tate Kolwyck and sophomore Tyler Gentry.

Briarcrest: The Saints have the talent to make it to state, led by highly regarded junior Thomas Dillard and slugging outielder Von Watson. And coach Brian Stewart will be delighted to have MUS transfer Hugh Fisher, a 6-4 sophomore lefty who has committed to Vanderbilt.

CBHS: Tragedy struck the Brothers when Memphis signee Colin Kilgore was killed in a Feb. 14 car crash. But Kilgore’s memory will be strong all year as the Brothers chase their ninth state title. Vanderbilt signee Walker Grisanti and Memphis-bound pitcher James Muse will lead the way for Buster Kelso, the all-time winningest coach in Tennessee. Infielders Zane Phillips and Landon Kelly and inielder-pitcher Dallas Broughton will also play big roles.

Collierville: The Dragons look loaded as they aim for their second AAA title in the last three years under Jeff Hopkins. Memphis signee Alex Hicks (10-2, 0.51 ERA) and Arkansas State signee Peyton Culbertson (4-2 1.79) head a deep pitching staf that also features Bo Sutton (5-0, 0.73), Purdue signee Hunter Hollis (2-0, 1.43) and Alex Johnson (3-1, 1.58). Hicks leads the returnees with 28 RBIs; irst baseman Parker Phillips (.427, 25 RBIs) also has plenty of pop.

Second baseman C.J. Fleming (CBU) returns after being injured all last year.

ECS: A promising sophomore class should mix well with the veterans under irst-year coach Duke Williams. Pitchers Sadler Goodwin (2.81 ERA) and Riley Watkins are solid and outielder-pitcher Alex Smith should contribute plenty after tearing his ACL early in the football season.

Germantown: Veterans Chris Howell and Dacoda Stone return to lead Casey Calloway’s Red Devils, who are also counting on big things from a player with one of the best names in the area, junior Andruw Jones.

Harding: Division 2-A state runners-up in 2012 and 2013, the Lions will be a factor again despite key losses.

Junior Jake Criswell is just eight victories from breaking the school mark of 21.

Batterymate Nolan Stevens, son of head coach Al, batted .310 last year. Coach Stevens says the bullpen — featuring senior Robert Mihalko and sophomore Noah Sharp — will be a key.

Houston: Lane McCarter’s AAA runners-up have a great shot to make it back to Murfreesboro. Jared Schmidt (.424, 8 HRs, 50 RBIs) and Ayrton Schafer are terriic hitters and the pitching staf — led by senior right-handers Jack Rude, Walter Rook and Nikko Warmus and junior Brandon Maxwell — is deep and talented.

Twins Cullen and Conrad Ray, who transferred from Germantown, should also contribute plenty, along with inielder Jack Kinley and catcher Alex Sala.

MUS: John Jarnigan replaces Johnny Beard in the Owls dugout and he inherits a good group of senior veterans, led by outielder-pitcher Colton Neel (Memphis signee), inielder Connor Wright, catcher A.J. Hunt, pitcher Mike Frymire and outielder-pitcher Preston White.

BRANDON DILL SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

JIM WEBER THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

BOUNTIFUL ’BURBS Look closely: Germantown Parkway is full of tasty surprises

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

S

ure, there’s a Romano’s Macaroni Grill at one corner and a Bahama Breeze across the street — just in front of a Red Lobster, all a stone’s throw away from J. Alexander’s, Logan’s Roadhouse, On the Border and Joe’s Crab Shack.

There are six Starbucks, including the one in Super Target, next door, of course, to the Walmart Supercenter.

And, yes indeedy, the traic is horrendous. Paying the required attention to the cars all around you makes it hard to look behind all those big restaurants and big-box stores that dominate Germantown Parkway. But hidden back there, tucked in this strip center or that one, you’ll ind more than 50 local restaurants serving burgers, barbecue, pizza and home cooking as well as more exotic fare. So let’s get started on the latest in our Eat the Street series — Germantown Parkway: Chains, Plantains and Automobiles.

It’s really Germantown Road until roughly the Wolf River, and the majority of our trip is in Cordova; there’s a wee bit in Bartlett, and we’ll start with a few in Germantown proper. Elfo’s (2285 S. Germantown Road, 901-753-4017) is Alex Grisanti’s place, and in addition to serving family meals of Grisanti favorites such as Elfo’s Special and Miss Mary’s salad, there’s a nice bar and bar menu, and pizzas include a barbecue one — made, of course, with pork from Germantown Commissary, just across the street (2290 S. Germantown Road; 901754-5540). You can’t go wrong in the Commissary, probably the oldest restaurant in Germantown. Eat the pork sandwich, the ribs, the tamales or the cheese plate. But whatever you do, save room for the coconut cream pie, made fresh daily and so good it’s worth the

thing in the little store.

Tannoor Grill (830 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-443-5222) is brilliant: A Middle Eastern churrascaria. All the meat you can eat, and, hey, while you’re at it, ill up on hummus, baba ghanoush, fattoush salad and pita bread.

My Favorite Place Mexican Restaurant

(880 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-7578900) stands on its own, away from the other clustered Mexican restaurants, and the reason is: grilled margarita. Yes — grilled. Go for Triple T Tuesday — tacos, tequila and trivia — and make it a party.

trip just for dessert.

Just across Poplar, you’ll encounter the irst of two Huey’s as we head north.

It’s a Memphis institution, and you’ll never go wrong with a burger and fries or the huge onion rings. Find them at 7677 Farmington in Germantown (but it faces Germantown Road), 901-318-3030; and 1771 N. Germantown Parkway in Cordova; 901-754-3885.

As long as we’re on Farmington (and we’re going to make a few detours), don’t miss The Pie Folks, Audrey Anderson’s bakery best known for her awardwinning Slap Yo Mama Chocolate Pie (7781 Farmington Blvd.; 901-752-5454).

She has a list of about 20 others, available whole or by the slice.

We still haven’t hit the Parkway; just one more stop: Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana (1215 S. Germantown Road; 901751-1200), home of the $20 shrimp sandwich (I kid you not) and the best cheese dip in town (I kid you now). Pepe and Jonathan Magallanes pride themselves on fresh, fresh, fresh — and authentic.

Across the street, IPop Gourmet Pop-

239-4767) is a nice mom-and-pop (heh) business that sells popcorn in a dozen or more lavors daily. It also marks our entry into Cordova.

Jody’s Donuts & Bakery (420 S. Germantown Parkway; 901-737-1515) is one of a handful of places along the street where you can swing in for a sweet treat. Others are Cocoa Van (7990 Trinity; 901-308-1536), a boutique bakery where the cupcake selection changes frequently; Gigi’s Cupcakes , (2200 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-888-2253), which is not local, but is close enough, as it started in Nashville; and Howard’s Donuts (8130 Bellevue Parkway; 901-2131100). (And there’s John’s Pantry, but more on that to come.)

The Butcher Shop (107 S. Germantown Parkway; 901-757-4244) still greets guests with a big grill just inside the entry. This is where your steaks are cooked, or your burger if you show up for burger Friday lunch.

Two taco trucks, both with home bases on Summer Avenue, have what appear to be permanent spots along the street. Taco Los Jarochos is parked at Exxon, 610 N. Germantown Parkway, and in the parking lot of Cordova Farmer’s Market, 1150 N. Germantown Parkway, you’ll ind a Taqueria La Guadalupana truck. Love ’em both.

TJ Mulligan’s (8071 Trinity Road; 901756-4480) is more of a bar, but the food is pretty dang good. Lots of sandwich choices.

El Mezcal (694 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-755-1447) is one of several local Mexican restaurant chains that dot the street, all with a menu full of the usual suspects. Others include El Porton (1805 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-624-9358) and La Hacienda (1760 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-624-2920), where Mexican lasagna and homemade tamales open up the choices.

Marrakech (694 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-754-6366) was Zaytoon and has recently changed its name (though just to keep us guessing, the temporary sign was down last time I drove by, and only

the Zaytoon sign on the door remained).

Villa Castrioti (714 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-753-3894) is popular among Cordovans and folks from all around. The food is solid, from pizzas to steaks to ish.

Friday Tuna (750 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-751-8888) is owned by the same folks who have Fuji Café in Collierville — which means it also has the tempurafried tuna-stufed jalapeño appetizer.

BRANDON DILL/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Friday Tuna ofers this dish of seared tuna tataki on a bed of cucumber, smelt roe, and green onion with ponzu sauce.

John’s Pantry (8046 Willow Tree Lane; 901-308-2404) is run by two of the nicest folks in Cordova, John Moberly and his assistant, Patrick. They’ll talk bread, pasta, local products and spices with you as long as you want to linger, and share ideas about how to use every-

An order of egg rolls at Green Bamboo includes 10 egg rolls, a nice selection of fresh veggies to wrap them in, and a variety of sauces for dipping.

Green Bamboo (990 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-753-5488) serves up a nice bowl of pho and a menu of Vietnamese dishes that includes spring rolls, curries and vermicelli bowls.

3 Guys Pizza Pies (1014 N. Germantown Parkway; 901-737-0062) was a pleasant surprise. We stopped in for lunch and tried two of the daily specials: Two slices for $5.99 (every day) and a stromboli.

Ultimate Foods (8100 Macon Station; 901-207-5337) is where you go if you’re feeling virtuous or know that you want something healthy to take home after a day of feasting. Stop in here for a graband-go meal built around the 40/40/20 eating plan (40 percent of calories from protein, 40 percent from carbohydrates and 20 percent from healthy fats).

Pasta Italia (8130 Macon Station, 901751-0009) is undoubtedly the shining star of the list, though you’ll pay to hitch your wagon to it.

Chang’s Bubble Tea (8095 Macon Road; 901-737-8839) is more than bubble tea. There’s also a full menu of Chinese restaurant standards, from broccoli beef to Hunan shrimp.

All-Star Hot Wings (8095 Macon Road; 901-244-6930) serves the whole wing, from seasoned to suicide, plus burgers and sandwiches.

NEXT WEEK Check back next week for Part 2 of “Eat the Street: Germantown Parkway” and let your appetite carry you north of Macon Road.

DAFFODIL DAYS Easy, afordable lowers take center stage Everyone loves dafodils, right?

That’s what I thought, and I almost started this column with such a proclamation.

But the voices of my journalism teachers drowned my enthusiasm.

Avoid statements proclaiming all or everybody, the irst or the only, the best and the worst because readers will be quick to say you’re wrong.

The profs were right again. An online search for “I hate dafodils� did turn up a curmudgeon or two who criticized the yellow lowers for exactly the reasons most people love them — they are easy to grow, come back year after year, have no garden pests other than poor drainage and are inexpensive.

In the eyes of some, that last attribute appears to be their worst. Because RUTHIE TAYLOR/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL dafodils are afordable, everyone can plant some, and that will never do for June Davidson (right), a past president of the Mid-South Dafodil Society, helps Caroline garden snobs such as John Crace, a fea- Evans get her dafodil ready for a show.

I spoke with Carloftis on a snowy day in February about his gardening advice for do-it-yourselfers who often don’t know where to begin improving their landscapes. “Focus on the spaces you use and see every day,� he advises. If you always enter your home at the rear door, make that area beautiful. If you entertain on your deck or patio, be sure that area is enhanced with plants.

GET A BEAD ON BULBS Suzy Askew, Dixon’s garden education and volunteer coordinator, will present a program focusing on adding bulbs to your landscapes and gardens at 7 p.m. today at Temple Israel, 1376 E. Massey.

Askew, an accomplished lower arranger, lower show judge and educator, will show members and guests of Temple’s Sisterhood (Women of Reform Judasim) the best methods for storing, planting and displaying bulbs and the lowers they produce.

It’s bound to be an eager audience since members of the organization have sold dafodil, tulip, hyacinth, amaryllis and other bulbs as a major fundraiser for more than 65 years.

The event is free to sisterhood members and $5 for visitors.

ASK DR. JOHNSON: Does Anything Actually Work?

The Answer is YES! 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.

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?

Regardless of your age -

Drug companies have jumped all over this like a --- well a drug company. I don’t have to say the names --- we’ve all seen the ads --- but they’ve spent millions trying to convince you all that one pill ixes all --- when in actuality they fail over 50% of the time. And that’s just a fact.

Dr. Johnson is a board-certiied physician specializing in men’s health at the Memphis Men’s Clinic.

Regardless of your medical history or your age --- they have satisied patients ranging from 23 to 91 --- if you suffer from ED you should call the--Memphis Men’s Clinic at ------901-443-0485 today to schedule an appointment and regain your sexual health.
