FOOD, 26

Longtime Collierville resident Cathy Armstrong loves to run. She also loves to support our nation’s military, in no small part, because her son, Christopher Benakovich, is in his third year of Army ROTC at the University of Tennessee. For the last two years he has been a volunteer for the Mountain Man Memorial March, an event where both civilians and those with military ailiations come together to raise money for economicallydeprived military families who have lost loved ones

while serving their country. “The event was created eight years ago after a UT Army cadet graduate was killed in the line of duty during the Iraq War, and each year participation in the event has grown,” Armstrong said. All money raised goes to family members chosen from each of the participating ROTC Units. Armstrong trained for three months with a goal of completing the half-marathon in less than three hours. She crossed the inish line with a time of 2:27.17 and wasn’t aware she had placed third in her age group until her name was called during the awards

City to lend municipal school district 1.5 million Interest-free loan for Germantown schools By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The Germantown Municipal School District will receive a $1.5 million loan through an agreement with the city, pending approval from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and the state. The school board approved the agreement during a busi-

ness meeting Monday. Supt. Jason Manuel said the loan would be interest-free, a contrast to the $90,000 of interest the school district has paid to the city in the last year. The city loaned the school district $8 million for its irst year through a revenue-anticipatory note that was also approved by the state. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said the school district only used $3.8 million of that, and has paid it back in full, plus the interest. Manuel said the $1.5 million

Germantown Police Reports

is to help the district bridge the time between the opening of school next year and when the district actually sees property tax dollars. “The way that money comes into the system creates a cashlow issue,” he said. Manuel said the loans are necessary because the district started with no reserves. In the last year, the district built up a reserve of about $2.1 million. Lawton said he expected the district to need the loan, and had actually expected it to take the district up to three or four

years to pay back the $8 million from last year. “That’s just good management on their part,” he said. In other business, the school board tabled a vote on whether to join the Tennessee School Board Association financial trust that has been set up for districts and municipalities to invest their retirement beneit reserves. All school districts and local governments by 2017 have to have a plan to prefund their other postemployment beneits. The school district has the

option of setting up its own trust or joining the TSBA trust that has already been created and will be managed for a rate of a quarter of one percent of whatever the district invests. Manuel recommended in a work session that the district join the trust in an efort to save time and money setting up a separate trust. Board members, however, were concerned about being a minority investor and not having enough say about how the money was invested. As a result, the issue was taken of Monday’s agenda.

Scattered litter mars the roadside along Tenn. 385 near U.S. 72 in Collierville, where TDOT has placed signs threatening a $3,000 fine for violators.

Bitter over litter town ights trash along tenn. 385 By John Stamm Special to The Commercial Appeal

The litter bugged Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner. He knew he had to do something about what he was seeing along Tenn. 385. “It had gotten so bad that basically I couldn’t take it anymore,” he said. He even pulled over one day to try, unsuccessfully, to remove from a tree a large piece of plastic he said was as “big as a parachute.” Joyner asked two department directors whether the town could send crews to clean up the highway, only to hit a roadblock. It was the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s job because it’s a state highway. So Public Services Director Bill Kilp contacted TDOT, which took action. Not only did it have a crew pick up the litter but it recently placed four large signs along 385 within the town’s boundaries warning about littering and threatening a ine of up to $3,000, the state maximum.

“I hope people will notice them and heed the warning,” Joyner said about the signs near exits for Forest Hill-Irene heading east and U.S. 72 west. “I think the $3,000 number looks good.” Steve Lemmons, district assistant superintendent for TDOT’s Arlington oice, travels along 385 as often as twice a week. He agrees the trash had gotten worse in that stretch, but also perhaps was more noticeable because the grass was dormant. He notes a crew picks up litter about once a month year round, and in the spring and summer the grass will be mowed ive times. TDOT also dispatches a crew daily to pick up larger objects. County supervisors check the highway several times a week. “We have a lot of garbage trucks that travel that route quite often, and a lot of it is being lost from those garbage trucks,” he said. Kilp said he has contacted the area’s waste haulers requesting supervisors tell drivers to “tarp their loads.” Also, the Collierville Police Department has been advised, he said, to be on the alert for littering. Citations also can be given by the Tennessee Highway Patrol and Shelby County sher-

if’s deputies. Joyner called on citizens to report trucks shedding trash. “If we catch them, we’re going to ine them,” said Joyner. Kilp said the town asked TDOT about taking over the litter control of its 385 stretch, but learned a contract, including grass cutting, would be costly. He said discussions will continue. Joyner said he was hopeful civic groups and other service organizations could adopt stretches, but the town was advised that isn’t allowed on a limited-access highway as it is on such state routes as Poplar and U.S. 72. The state recently agreed to turn over to Collierville the maintenance of the median along the Jimmy Lott Parkway stretch of U.S. 72, named for a longtime alderman who died in January. Opinion is divided on whether there’s less litter in the month since the signs were posted along 385. Lemmons believes there’s been improvement. Joyner says it’s better but “still not perfect.” “What I would like for people to perceive as they are driving 385,” Joyner said, “is that Collierville between our city limits would be the cleanest part of 385, not the most littered part.”

Fire dept. requests more staf, stations

The Collierville Fire Department is asking the town to add three irefighter positions to the department, and to look at relocating a ire station and adding two more on the south side of town. Fire Chief Jerry Crawford said the ire department has 60 full-time ireighters, a number that has gone unchanged since 2004 despite call volume increasing 45 percent. The current staf also is aging, with 70 percent of ireighters over age 40 and more than half over 50. While response times are still low, Crawford said, averaging 4 minutes and 58 seconds, the town’s growth has prompted the need for additional staf and reconiguration of its stations. The town has ive stations, but Crawford said the location of Fire Station 2 is a problem and it should be relocated. Crawford, who presented his short- and longterm needs to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in a budget work session April 16, said the structure was built at least 40 years ago and was never meant to be a permanent station.

THE PROM from 1 well as prepare the dance loor and dinner area — adding colorful table-toppers and decorations. Later, many of the volunteers returned to act as escorts and dance partners for the students. Nine years ago, Michelle Kelley, a special education assistant at Collierville High School, came up with an idea that led to the irst prom. “Baby steps” was the way Kelley described the process. The irst prom was held at CHS for students enrolled in the school’s special education program. After the irst event, the staf was excited by the way the students, parents, teachers and staf responded. Riding the wave of success of the event’s irst iteration, the prom committee decided to open the dance to all students. During dinner, students were serenaded by Skylar Newman, Ronnie Guzman and Bennett Poorman, all

members of CHS’ orchestra. They played a selection of what they agreed was “dinner music.” Following a bufet dinner, featuring food donated by local restaurants, the 120 students from seven area high schools heard the music booming from DJ Tyrone Mosby’s speakers and it was a race to get on to the dance loor. But it wasn’t just the kids out there — teachers joined in as well. Louie Johnson, from Southwind, led a group of his kids to Bruno Mars’ hit, “Uptown Funk,” while Suzy Dirof, from Houston High School, danced with her students and Germantown High’s Emmanuel Lewis. Even parents couldn’t resist cutting a rug, as Ellyn Mooneyham began dancing with her daughter, Jillian, who attends Collierville High. As the night wore on and the songs “YMCA,” “The Cupid Shule,” and many more illed the gym, there was no let down on the dance loor. Josh Nichols dedicated himself to overseeing the candy table. Nichols stood

proudly by his table with a smile on his face and offered candy to everyone who attended. For Nichols, this night was one in which he could be proud to say he lent a hand. Erin Rhodes, a teacher at Houston High, said, “This is an extremely important night for these kids and their families.” Katie Carter, who also teaches at Houston, said employees from Germantown Day Spa stopped by to pamper the girls by helping with hair and makeup. Kelley added the prom couldn’t have happened without the help from the community and local businesses. “This is an event the whole community has gathered together to support,” Kelley said. “The boys’ tuxes were provided by Men’s Wearhouse, the gym was donated by Collierville Parks Department, local restaurants provided the food. Landers Ford donated money to defray other expenses. This event was paid for by the community, and I want them all to know how

from 1 ceremony. “I was totally surprised and quite moved to be standing on the podium in front of all those other runners and service people,” said Armstrong. It was also special for her because Benakovich ran with his unit — all wearing full military gear, complete with 35-pound rucksacks on their backs. Armstrong admits the third place inish was an unexpected thrill, but the most rewarding aspect was seeing all the runners come together to support the military. Collierville resident Kim MacFeggan, whose husband is in the military, is Armstrong’s best friend. MacFeggan made the trip not expecting to run, but decided to participate in the 10K, inishing in 90 minutes. “I will most deinitely participate again next year,” Armstrong said.

Community FUNDRAISER

Open your eyes with annual memorial 5K Special to The Weekly

On May 16, the Kyle W. Kiihnl Memorial Foundation will host the seventh annual Eye Opener 5K at Houston High School, beginning at 6 p.m. The event serves as the group’s fundraiser and is a way to reach out to the public and tell them about the foundation’s cause. The run is in memory of Kyle Kiihnl. In 2002, Kiihnl, a 17-year-old Houston High student, lost his life to a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. The sleeping driver, also 17,

drove onto the sidewalk where Kiihnl was walking. While it was certainly a tragedy for both families, the foundation has chosen to carry on Kiihnl’s legacy by educating drivers on the dangers of driving while fatigued. Kiihnl had received the award for Exceeding Expectations the previous month at the varsity wrestling banquet. Foundation members began awarding its Kyle Kiihnl Memorial Scholarship, “Exceeding Expectations,” in May 2003. Since then, the group has provided 16 college scholarships. In 2014, the foundation began

ofering an additional scholarship opportunity. Its requirements include writing an essay on one of three provided topics concerning fatigued driving, teacher recommendations and a qualifying GPA. According to statistics provided by Tennessee Department of Transportation, drowsy driving is rampant in Shelby County. In 2011, there were 278 drowsy driving related crashes and in 2012 there were 320. Last year, however, there was a marked decline with 297 crashes. For information, visit at dontdriverdrowsy.org.

The seventh annual Eye Opener 5K will be held May 16 at Houston High School. The run is held in memory of Kyle Kiihnl, who lost his life to a driver who fell asleep at the wheel.

United Soccer Club opens new fields By Michelle Thompson Special to The Weekly

United Soccer Club had its oicial ribbon cutting at Faith Lutheran Church on the corner of Market Street and Byhalia Road. The four teams and their families gathered to thank those who made it possible for the club to produce a class “A” soccer ield, which includes one 11 versus 11 ield, two 8 versus 8 ields, as well as a comprehensive skills academy setup. The facility and irrigation was orchestrated by Ryan Garcia, owner of Agriscapes landscape and irrigation company.

Garcia’s daughter, Avery, plays for United SC. His expertise and hours of service is greatly appreciated. None of this could have been possible without a $10,000 donation from Ben Ward, the grandfather of Molly and Maggie Ward, who both play for United. The rest of the funds were raised by the girls and boys themselves through various fundraising activities, including a 5K run. This ield afords United SC the opportunity to practice on their own time and around individual schedules. The skills academy, which is always available, allows players to continue to build their

skills as often as they would like to. Head coach Keith Potts spoke of his gratitude to the United families for their dedication to improvement and growing this soccer club. Michelle Thompson is a United Soccer Club team parent.

Girl Scout troop 10305 earns Silver Award Special to The Weekly

Young ladies with Girl Scout Troop 10305 recently earned the Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a girl can achieve at the Cadette level. The girls must complete a “Journey” with a “take action project.” After their Journey, they begin the process of planning and executing their Silver Award Project. Upon completion of their Journey, called “Breathe,” the girls with Troop 10305 explored and made observations in the community to ind issues they cared about. Once identiied, they put their plans into motion, asking themselves why this project matters and what they hoped to accomplish. Troop members identiied germs and airborne viruses as their topic. They also identiied the use of toxic products as contributing factors to viral illnesses. The girls discovered that plants are often-overlooked helpers

in ridding the air of pollutants and toxins. They also felt that non-toxic cleaning supplies would help in keeping the air clean and germ-free. Each girl put together an eco-friendly fresh air kit they called “Eco-Freshe.” Each kit contained an allpurpose cleaner, furniture polish, an air freshener and hand sanitizer along with instructions for use. All the products were made with natural, nontoxic ingredients. Each girl gave this kit to a teacher or community member with instructions and recipes attached so the recipient of the kit would pass it on. The girls made global connections with their kits by posting on diferent websites such as Taking It Global (tigweb.org) and Global Youth Service Day (globalyouthserviceday.org). With the completion of their Girl Scout Silver Award, the girls encompassed what is stated in the “Girl Scout Promise,” using resources wisely and making the world a better place.

My Dr. Laughed When I Told Him I Went to The Memphis Men’s Clinic... Until He Heard My Results MEMPHIS - You’ve heard the ads on radio or have seen them in the paper. This Memphis Men’s Clinic claiming their doctors can solve erectile dysfunction; even if others failed in the past. Frankly, I ind these claims hard to believe. I’ve been with the same family doctor 30 years. My urologist is the best in Tennessee. When my prostate cancer hit 5 years ago, my family doctor and urologist recommended removal. I didn’t argue. They are doctors after all. They assured me I’d be able to perform in the bedroom after the surgery. After the surgery, that was not the case. My urologist gave me Viagra, Cialis, and nothing worked. I tried the pump and Caverject. Again no results just lots of physical and emotional pain. My Family Doctor Said My E.D. Was Incurable, There Was Nothing Anyone Could Do! My wife was supportive. She told me it wasn’t important to her and there were other “things” we could do. Deep down inside I felt like less of a man and husband. For 6 months, I heard the ads for the Memphis Men’s Clinic and thought to myself. ”How can those doctors at that Memphis Men’s Clinic, who don’t know me, make these claims to solve my E.D. in 12 minutes or less... for only $199?” After discussing it with my wife, I igured what do I have to lose? Frankly, part of me wanted to prove those doctors wrong and blow the cover on the entire scam.

Semiannual Sale April 23 rd, 24 th & 25 th

My wife booked an appointment - the day came -I was nervous and angry. I didn’t want to be disappointed again. To my amazement, the ofice staff was professional, medically trained, and helped me relax. I met with the doctor and his trained medical staff. He gave me the test dose. I Felt Something I Hadn’t Felt In 5 Years!

Warehouse Sale Items will be Penniies s on the Dollar

In 12 minutes, “it” worked. My wife was in the room and saw the results for herself. We were speechless and excited! The doctor came back into the room and I looked at him in disbelief. He explained it’s not my doctor’s fault they failed in the past. Since this is the clinic’s specialty they are able to help thousands of men perform again, where others have failed, no matter the cause of ED or PE issues. Sure the medications are extra, but it’s cheaper than the pills your doctor prescribes for you... And this works!

As part of a third trimester project, the honors biology class at St. George’s Independent School recently transformed recyclable materials into playground enhancements for both lower school campuses. The goal of the project was to show lower school students how they can re-purpose household items that otherwise might be recycled or simply discarded. “It’s amazing to see what can be accomplished with innovation and creativity,” said honors biology teacher, Kalyn Underwood. “We have been studying trash islands in the ocean and the decomposition rates of overly used and trashed materials, like plastic bottles. Tasked with designing new uses for recyclable materials, the class exceeded every expectation and I’m so proud of what they accomplished.” Honor students collected materials, designed structures, surveyed teachers and students about the playground enhancements and made modiications to the structures based on feedback. Playground enhancements include playhouses with table and chairs, birdhouses, bottle cap curtains and planters. There’s also a tunnel with windows and planters, a grocery store with a shopping cart, an outdoor checkers set, a hammock, a bookshelf with arts and crafts storage and a recycling bin. The structures can last 450 years.

Home & Garden ORGANIZATION

A 5-step makeover for your pantry By Aisha Sultan St. Louis Post-Dispatch (TNS)

We confront it everyday, morning and night, for one of our most basic needs — the search for food. Fortunately, it’s also one of the quickest organization projects that ofers one of the biggest returns in improved eiciency and peace of mind. We turned to two professional organizers to make over two diferent types of kitchen pantries. The irst one, a loorto-ceiling cabinet with six pullout shelves was my very own challenge. The second, a closet pantry combined with a mudroom, was a neighbor’s. It took about an hour to complete the cabinet pantry, and it took two organizers about two hours to make over the larger one. Each one, however, followed the same basic steps:

1. ASSESS NEEDS Gretchen Bender, owner of Creative Spaces Organizing in St. Louis, says the irst question she asks is: What is your goal? “A lot of time people have the space, but they don’t know what to do with it. They just see a series of shelves.” The organizer starts envisioning what can be grouped together, taken out and added to improve the functionality. 2. EMPTY IT OUT The next step is to empty out the entire pantry. It sounds daunting, but it’s truly the only way to get a handle on everything that is hidden there. People will often discover they own multiples of the same product or have a backlog of expired foods. “If you don’t see it, you won’t use it,” Lisa Bianco, director of marketing for the U.S. Association of Professional Organizers St. Louis chapter and owner of Perfectly Organized in O’Fallon, Mo., said.

PHOTOS COURTESY BASSETT FURNITURE

Navy plus pale gray with a touch of orange or red is a good color scheme for a boy’s room whether he’s 12 or 21. Avoid using shocking colors and themes which kids outgrow quickly making it necessary to redecorate often.

Decorating kids’ rooms gets easier if you just remember to

PLAY by the

RULES

3. CATEGORIZE The next step is to group like items. Bianco brought a few storage containers in which she grouped all the protein bars, and fruit and nut bars roaming around. She created a section for snacks, one for breakfast items, pasta and dinner, spices, grains/rice and an entire shelf for baking.

4. TOSS THE EXCESS AND EXPIRED First, you purge, Bianco said. Get rid of things that are stale or expired. I threw out some year-old granola and half a package of stale shortbread cookies. (I don’t even like shortbread cookies.) We also tossed the Tupperware that was missing lids and consolidated things into empty jars that kept turning up. 5. PUT THE PUZZLE BACK TOGETHER In the case of both the pantries our organizers worked on, they added a few storage baskets that grouped together certain items, such as teas, spices or lentils. In my pantry, Bianco added Lazy Susans for soup cans. She also added labels on each shelf as a reminder for everyone who uses the pantry. For shelves that don’t pull out, it’s important to use the vertical space, so everything is within eye level. “It’s like putting together a puzzle,” Bianco said. Some pieces it better in different configurations and it takes a little bit of trial and error. A pantry project is a good start for those who want to become more organized, Bianco said. “It doesn’t take as long. It gets you motivated and lets you feel successful.”

Upholstered twin beds in a neutral color will have appeal at any age. Pink looks chic with beige, white and wood tones.

By Vicki Payne The Charlotte Observer (TNS)

I spend a lot of time reviewing photos of all types of rooms _ some good, some bad. If I had to identify one group of rooms that generally fall into the bad category, it would have to be children’s rooms. Why is it that everyone thinks you have to paint the walls some shocking, hot color and then add two or three intense, noncoordinating colors? Children’s rooms should be decorated by the same rules and standards as the rest of the home. Work with neutrals and add touches of color for contrast and interest. Consider using upholstered twin beds in a neutral color. The look will have appeal whether your child is 12 or 21. Next, paint the walls a neutral color. This doesn’t mean limiting your choices to white or beige. You can still work with traditional colors such as blue and pink. I’m suggesting that you move away from shocking tones and try navy for boys and pale pink for girls. Bedrooms should be calming retreats regardless of your child’s age. Imagine trying to relax or study in a setting of hot pink and lime green or bright blue and ire engine red. Mixing navy with pale gray with touches of orange, green or red works for all ages. Furniture can be wood tone or painted navy, black or dark gray. Pink looks wonderful with beige, white and wood tones. It’s so chic and calming. Fabrics are just as important as paint colors. Designs with action heroes and Barbie dolls

are a poor investment. Most kids change heroes way too fast. If your little ones are really diehard fans, consider buying sheets that feature their latest craze. It’s much easier to swap out sheets than entire bedding ensembles, window treatments and wall murals. Speaking of wall murals, don’t do it! First, it’s rare to see a mural that’s done well. Secondly, they are far too permanent. Consider instead a large wall-mounted bulletin board such as the ones sold at Pottery Barn. These make it easy to keep up with your kid’s latest passions. There’s no need to invest in expensive framed artwork for the same reasons. Your children may be into cowboys this year and the Dallas Cowboys next. Buy good quality frames in standard sizes and change the images as their taste calls for it. Art Classics Ltd. has a huge selection of afordable framed and unframed artwork in a variety of sizes. Wood loors topped with a rug are a better option than wall-towall carpet. The one-time investment to install hardwoods will pay for itself over the years. A stained rug is easier and more afordable to clean or replace every few years than carpeting. I prefer outdoor rugs in children’s rooms. The rugs clean up beautifully and are more afordable than wool or woven rugs. The secret to keeping any newly decorated room looking good is storage space. Invest in chests with lots of drawers; bookshelves to hold toys, books and electronics; and of course a welldesigned closet system. You can’t expect a child to clean up his or her room if there’s no place to put things away.

YARD SMART

Ways to minimize efects of disease in gardens By Maureen Gilmer Tribune News Service

When I was a horticulture student, I was urged to never smoke cigarettes around tomato plants. At the time I considered this advice an old wives’ tale. It wasn’t until I discovered tobacco mosaic virus on my tomatoes that I took a closer look at the disease. Lo and behold, that old smoking-aroundtomatoes link came up on the University of Minnesota website: “Cigars, cigarettes and pipe tobaccos can be infected with tobacco mosaic virus. Handling these smoking materials contaminates the hands, and subsequent handling of plants results in a transmission of the virus. Therefore, do not smoke while handling or transplanting plants.” This past year, every one of my carefully selected heirlooms declined and died. A postmortem at season’s end revealed it was aflicted with root knot nematodes that had reached critical mass the third year after the garden’s creation. Like many other diseases, it’s due to small space gardens where crops can’t be rotated suficiently to prevent disease propagation. In small spaces, diseases build up over two or three seasons

to critical levels before they strike. There are two ways to minimize the efects of diseases. First, expand the size of the garden to allow crop rotation, which allows sufficiently different arrangements of plants each year. Solution No. 2 is to ind vegetable varieties resistant to the disease. These won’t be in my favorite heirloom catalogs because breeding for disease resistance is a modern thing. It’s a hybridization thing. It may even be a GMO thing. These varieties are the salvation of farmers in regions where certain diseases are epic. Keep in mind these are “resistant” varieties, not completely disease-proof. In areas of very high concentrations of disease organisms, the resistance may not be enough to overcome these odds. To maximize results, let the infected area lie fallow (unused) for a year to break the reproductive cycle. Bake the ground in summer under a sheet of black plastic to kill them of. This intermediate step will give resistant varieties greater advantage the following season. Johnny’s Selected Seeds has always impressed me as the working farmer’s seed catalog. Maybe it’s because they sell in bulk for farm-

Johnny’s Selected Seeds is filled with special varieties that are resistant to a wide range of common vegetable plant diseases.

ers, not just seed packets for home gardens. It’s our starting point for inding tomatoes and other vegetable varieties specially bred to resist diseases without chemical controls. It helps to know what to look for in disease resistant seed stock. These varietal names are followed by abbreviations that indicate resistance to speciic diseases. For

example, TMV means it’s resistant to tobacco mosaic virus. Other common viral designations for tomatoes are F for fusarium wilt resistance, V for verticillium wilt, L for gray leaf spot and N for nematodes, a type of root-damaging roundworm. I was thrilled to ind a master list of plant disease resistance codes on the Johnny’s Selected Seeds website. This is a highly valuable feature for home gardeners who have met with disease problems in the past. The list tells you what every suix abbreviation means. This is a universal code for the seed industry developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. To access the list, go online to johnnyseeds.com and click on Growing Center in the left side navigation bar. Scroll down to Plant Disease Resistance Codes. Use it online or print it out to keep on hand for reference as you shop seed varieties for next year’s garden. The saying goes: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a diferent result. If your plants are sufering from diseases, if yields are poor or they just lack vigor, don’t replant these same varieties.

PREP SOCCER

Red Devils outlast Kingsbury’s rally By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

When soccer powerhouses such as Houston and Collierville are in your neighborhood, it’s always going to be tough to compete. But Germantown is making steady progress. The youthful Red Devils built a three-goal lead, then held of a late rally to defeat always-tough Kingsbury, 3-2, April 16 at Kingsbury. “We did a good job,” said first-year Germantown coach Ted Bartels, the son of longtime Memphis-area soccer coach Chris Bartels. “We controlled the ball well and created some good chances, and our defense played well except for a couple of lapses. We’ve only got four seniors, and we’ve got some good young talent that’s progressing. It bodes well.”

Counterattacking to perfection, the Red Devils took a 1-0 lead just seven minutes into the match as Morgan Furr slotted home a rebound. They made it two just before halftime when freshman Chris Carreon riled in a great strike into the upper lefthand corner. And another freshman got the third as Eric Ezaguirre converted with a nice inish eight minutes into the second half. Kingsbury inally woke up midway through the second half and made it interesting thanks to a pair of goals from freight-train striker Jaylen Harvey. And the Falcons could have had more; Jose Rangel missed a wide-open goal from about three yards out and Keven Navarro also went close with a good chance. But Germantown — anchored by forward-turneddefender Cody Hardy, who was playing with a sore groin — held on.

There’s a part of Cameron Payne that still can’t believe it — how in two years he’s gone from unranked college prospect out of Lausanne Collegiate School to projected irstround pick in June’s NBA draft coming of a stellar sophomore season at Murray State. Payne didn’t get a scholarship ofer from the University of Memphis, the hometown school he grew up rooting for. Back then, he was a rail-thin point guard prospect who played in the shadow of more sought-after AAU teammates like former East High star Nick King and Southwind High standouts Johnathan Williams III and Jajuan Johnson. “Man, I remember I just wanted to go somewhere I could it in and get the opportunity to play, and that opportunity has turned into a dream come true,” said Payne, who this month announced he’s forgoing his inal two years of college to enter the NBA draft. “I’m still in shock, like, ‘Cameron Payne? This is who y’all want?’ I mean, it’s really crazy. But now I’m in it and I’ve got to get ready to work.” Though he was named the Lute Olson Player of the Year, which is given annually to the nation’s top Division 1 player who’s played at least two seasons, and earned Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year honors this season, the 6-foot-2, 177-pound Payne said he still feels like the relatively

DAVE CRENSHAW/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cameron Payne didn’t get much scholarship attention from hometown University of Memphis and took his talents to Murray State. Good move — he projects as a irst-round NBA draft pick.

CAMERON PAYNE FILE School: Murray State (attended Lausanne Collegiate School) Height, weight, position: 6-foot-2, 177 pounds, point guard Stats: 20.2 ppg, 6 apg, 3.7 rpg as a sophomore this season Honors: Lute Olson Player of the Year, Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year, Associated Press All-America honorable mention; CBSSports.com third-team All-America selection. NBA draft projection: Projected to be selected in the middle of the first round by ESPN.com’s Chad Ford

unknown commodity he was when Murray State coach Steve Prohm handed him the reins of the team two years ago. Yet his playmaking ability stood out so much at Murray State — where he ranked 13th nationally in scoring (20.2 points per

game) and 15th nationally in assists (six per game) this season — that NBA draft experts like ESPN. com’s Chad Ford have Payne projected to be selected in the No. 14-22 range of the draft’s irst round. “Payne was the hottest point guard in the draft until Tyus Jones won Duke a title,” Ford wrote of Payne this month. “Payne and Jones have a lot of similarities as pass-irst loor generals who play the game with a high basketball IQ but still can put the ball in the basket. The diference is that Payne is taller and a better athlete than Jones, two major sticking points with NBA scouts.” It was such high praise that helped convince Payne and his family it was time to leave Murray State, where he was the secondfastest player in school history to reach 1,000 points and the third-most eicient player in the country this season behind only Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky and BYU’s Tyler Haws, according to Kenpom.com.

“We had a great season. I just felt it couldn’t go any better,” said Payne, who led the Racers to a 29-6 record this season, including a 16-0 mark in OVC play, and a pair of wins in the NIT. “We were losing some key players to our team and I just felt it was the right time. “And then I was hot, you know? It’s always good (to enter the draft) when you’re hot. It’s the best time.” “I’m comfortable, but at the same time I’m on edge (about the draft) because I know people will be coming at me,” Payne said. “I’m really trying to get better. I need to get in the weight room and get as big as I can to be physically ready to go against these other guys. I’m more on edge than anything because there’s a lot of distractions and it’s tough to stay focused being 20 years old. But I’ve got my family that keeps me focused, my youth pastor keeps me focused and I’m ready to put forth the efort to make the best out of my opportunity.”

Getting to that point might be interesting. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Friends support your drive to complete a project.

needed breaks along the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH A parent or higher-up seems to be very sure of him- or herself. Use your instincts when dealing with this person.

Food DINNER FOR TWO

Seasoned rub in blackened fish makes a nice contrast By Carol Borchardt Special to The Commercial Appeal

PHOTOS BY MARK WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Elwood’s Shack owner Tim Bednarski pulls his smoked jerk style whole wings from the kitchen smoker. Every week, Bednarski goes through approximately 10 cases of chicken wings.

CHICKEN, LITTLE Fried or smoked, whole or parts, hot or not, we eat wings by the billions By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

t Elwood’s Shack, owner Tom Bednarski goes through about 10 cases of chicken wings a week, doling out the roughly 1,400 wings each week in orders of four or eight at a time. And if you think that sounds impressive, well, consider this: On Super Bowl Sunday, Americans consumed 1.25 billion chicken wings. Yes, that’s supposed to be a “b,” and here are a few fun facts about what you could do with 1.25 billion chicken wings.

Elwood’s Shack pecan smoked jerk style whole wings.

You could lay the segments end to end and they would stretch to Seattle and back to Foxborough, Mass. (remember, it was the Seahawks vs. the Patriots), not once, not twice, but 28 times. They would circle the Grand Canyon not 10 times, not 50, but 120 times. In fact, close to 10 percent of all the chicken wings consumed annually are washed down with cold beer on Super Bowl Sunday, but that leaves another 13 billion or so to get us through the rest of 2015. As wings are typically sold in pieces, that come to about 28 billion total pieces, including whole wings, drummettes, lats and tips. So here’s how the wing breaks down. Chickens have two, of course. The meatiest part close to the body is called the drummette because it resembles a small drumstick; these are usually sold as drummies in restaurants. Extending out from the body, the next portion of the wing is the lat, double-boned with the majority of the meat in between the bones (but there’s also meat on the outside). The tip is the end of the wing and while people will nibble on them, they yield very little meat. “The majority of the tips are exported to foreign, mostly Asian countries,” said Tom Super, vice president of communications for the National Chicken Council, the compiler of all those Super Bowl factoids. Bednarksi is a drummie fan; so is Rocky Kasaftes, owner of Alex’s Tavern. They’re in the majority, as

close, but what really happened is she made them as a little giveaway for loyal customers late one night. And John Young of Bufalo says that he invented them by putting his signature “mambo” sauce on wings, but purists say that his wings were whole and battered before they were fried, so even if he was irst, it was a diferent thing. In the South, you’ll ind various sauces for wings. First, there’s the sauce the wings are tossed in, which might be plain old store-bought Frank’s Red Hot or Louisiana Hot Sauce (usually mixed with melted butter) or concoctions so searing hot they come with warnings, disclaimers, waivers. Of course, this is Memphis, after all, and wings can be dry — saucing and tossing is not de rigeur. But wet or dry, you’ll usually be asked if you want blue cheese or ranch for dipping. For grilling, Bednarski says it’s best to stay away from direct heat. “If you’ve got a ire under them, you really, really have to pay attention, because the fat is going to drip and you’re going to get lare-ups and it’s easy to end up burning your wings,” he said. He says to grill them over indirect heat or go the traditional route and fry them. But he has a twist. “The best way to do a fried wing is to bake them until they’re about 90 percent done, then deep fry to inish them of. After they come out of the fryer, shake them in butter and sauce.”

46 percent of people who eat wings prefer the drummette (Kasaftes only serves the drummies). Just 10 percent, in the poll by the NCC, like their wings whole. Obviously, this is a national poll, as in the Memphis area you’re about as likely to get whole wings when you order them as you are to get segments. And while true Bufalo wings are fried, we like ours smoked in these parts, too. Super says the easiest way to get the smoky lavor in your wings is to cheat a little. “We cook wings at home a lot,” he said. “I usually bake them at 400 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes, then I throw them on the grill for about 10 to 15 minutes. Cooking them irst lessens the amount of grease that will drip on the coals. “Take them of the grill, put ’em in a bowl, sauce ’em and toss ’em.” For him, there’s just one way to dip them: Blue cheese. Quick stop. The story, with little dispute except for a detail here and there, is that in 1964 Teressa Bellissimo, who with her husband owned the Anchor Bar in Bufalo, created the wing as we know it, tossed in hot sauce and served with celery and blue cheese dressing. Her husband, Frank, according to smithsonianmag.org, told Calvin Trillin of The New Yorker that she cooked the wings when the distributor delivered them by mistake — they’d ordered chicken necks, which were used in their spaghetti gravy. Her son says

The appearance of fresh halibut at area ish counters is one of my favorite things about spring because it’s our favorite ish to cook at home. Fishing of Paciic halibut is carefully regulated, which makes it a highly sustainable seafood choice. Fresh halibut is available now through October. The lightly charred crust that results from “blackening” creates a pleasant contrast to this mild, laky ish. Chef Paul Prudhomme is credited with creating this cooking method in the 1980s, and it remains hugely popular today. Basically, a blend of herbs and spices is rubbed onto ish, meat or poultry and then quickly seared at a high temperature. Commercial blends are available; however, I prefer to blend my own so that I can control the amount of salt and heat. A good seasoned cast-iron skillet is ideal for blackening food. After searing the halibut for approximately two minutes per side in a butter and oil combination, I like to transfer it to a baking dish to inish cooking in the oven instead of transferring the cast iron skillet — ish and all — to the oven. The outside will already be nicely charred, and because the butter and oil will be extremely hot, it can start to burn and smoke in your oven. This tangy mango and avocado salsa pairs perfectly with the blackened halibut. Good Florida mangos are just coming into season. A ripe mango should yield gently to pressure when squeezed and have a light, fruity aroma at the stem end. This salsa also pairs well with other types of blackened or grilled ish, shrimp or chicken. Serve with a rice pilaf or creamy grits.

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

When you walk into Mosa Asian Bistro, take a minute to look at the white board before you take your seat. There won’t be a lot there — one special, maybe two — but you’ll see something you like. Over two review visits and plenty of others over the years, I ate my favorite dish at Mosa because my friend spotted something on the board she wanted to try: Yuan bao is one of the best bowls of soup I’ve tasted. Not the absolute best — there have been too many that have come and gone, too many toothsome bowls of tom yum (RIP, Golden Dragon/Royal Dragon; we still miss you), too many matzo balls loating in golden elixir, a whole lot of pho — and the latter is what yuan bao most closely resembles of that list, with dumplings instead of noodles. The chicken broth was stellar, clear and clean, the perfect base for the fresh cilantro and chives scattered on top and the handmade dumplings loating so abundantly within. The dumplings are wrinkled, imperfectly shaped wontons wrapped around tasty morsels of chicken illing, and they are just as good as the broth. Cabbage and carrots add a little color and a bit of lavor, but this is really about the broth and the dumplings. And the soy ginger sauce, served at your preferred heat level, on the side. It’s simple, but it adds another layer of lavor — though I recommend not adding it to the soup. Instead, just dip your dumplings into it. One in, one not. Mix it up.

Yuan bao, a Chinese chicken dumpling soup, with a side of crispy wonton chips at Mosa Asian Bistro.

Eddie Pao, partner and chef at Mosa Asian Bistro, prepares a dish of string bean chicken.

It’s fantastic, and if you like clear yet hearty Asian soups — just think wonton soup, but elevate it several notches — you’ll love this. Mosa is the very popular

Pan-Asian restaurant owned by Eddie Pao and his partner, son Alex. Eddie, longtime Memphians might know, founded Formosa on Summer Avenue about 40 years ago with his

brother Alfred; it has long since moved to Quince. Chinese, Thai, Taiwanese, even a little Japanese food is served. At Mosa, you order at the counter at lunch, and dinner is full service, but the same menu is in play. Prices are ine for lunch and a true value for dinner; the most expensive entrée is $15, a small serving of very good hot and sour soup is $2, the excellent yuan bao is $8.50. And portions are generous, extremely so on noodle dishes such as lo mein or the big bowl of pad see u, a dish of wide noodles lavored with sesame and served with the protein of your choice. Beyond the yuan bao, there’s three-seasoned shrimp, a rif on the Chinese standard saltand-pepper shrimp. Good-size (though not jumbo, as the menu says) shrimp are seasoned with salt and pepper, garlic and

green onion, quickly fried and served over sauteed Napa cabbage, with a pickled slaw of carrots and radish at one end of the long ish plate and a mound of white or brown rice at the other. (It’s the $15 dish, one of only three that hit double digits.) The Korean BBQ beef is another good one. Flank steak is sliced, sauteed in a silky brown soy glaze and served over crisp chow mein noodles for a nice contrast in texture. Szechuan chicken was very good, too (and remember, you can order beef, shrimp, tofu or sans protein, as you wish). The chicken was extremely tender, served in a spicy (as ordered) sauce with a touch of sweetness and plenty of fresh, barely-cooked vegetables such as broccoli, onion and peppers. It’s a bit loud in the restaurant when it’s busy. If you want a quieter dinner, snag an outdoor table, or go before the rush comes in. With food this good at prices so reasonable, folks are iling in by 7 p.m. most nights.
