On Feb. 6, Collierville’s Parks and Recreation Department staged its 14th annual Father/Daughter Dinner Dance at the Cox Park gymnasium. As it has for the past few years, the event was completely sold out. Sheila Moody, director of special events for Collierville said, “Every year this event not only sells out but there is a waiting list for people who wish to attend.” The popularity of the dance is evident by the looks of joy on the young ladies and their dads. It’s diicult to ind anyone who is attending the event for the irst time. The evening begins with

With music provided by DJ Brad Patrick, the irst dance was “Cinderella” by Curtis Chapman. Then things got serious with familiar dances such as the Hokey Pokey, the Electric Slide, as well as dancing Gangnam Style.

Bedtime for Germantown resident Laura Meanwell’s two teenage sons on a school night is between 9 and 10 p.m., and house rules dictate their phones must remain in the hallway. But she hasn’t mastered the art of actually making her children sleep. It makes their mornings that much more of a jolt, when the 14- and 15-yearold boys have to wake up at 5:45 and leave by 6:30 for their 7 a.m. classes at Houston Middle and Houston High. “By midweek, our whole family is just exhausted,” she said. Meanwell is part of a group of Germantown parents who have formed a coalition to advocate for later start times for all ive of the Germantown Municipal School District campuses. So far the group, Germantown for Healthy School Start Times, has about 500 supporters through its website, germantowncares.com, group member Craig Dismuke said, and has ordered yard signs so residents can show they are against the 7 a.m. start time. Houston Middle and High start at 7, Riverdale and Farmington Elementary start at 8 and Dogwood Elementary starts at 9. The school board will decide this month whether to spend potentially $400,000 to push the 7 a.m. start time to at least 7:45.

In the News CRIME

Chris Jones guilty of first-degree murder Jury also decides wife’s corpse was abused By Daniel Connolly and Katie Fretland The Commercial Appeal

After a day and a half of deliberating, jurors last Saturday evening found Chris Jones guilty of irst-degree murder and abuse of a corpse in the death of his estranged wife, Heather PalumboJones.

The jury came back with the verdict about 6 p.m. after deliberating last Friday evening and all day Saturday. Jones showed no visible reaction as the verdict was read. Criminal Court Judge Bobby Carter said Jones is automatically sentenced to life in prison on the murder count, and he will be sentenced for abuse of a corpse on March 11. The jury had been sequestered for days, and several jurors declined to comment.

Only one man stopped to talk to a reporter briely, and he wouldn’t give his name. “It’s exhausting and emotional,” the juror said. “If you just want to use an anonymous sound bite, it’s exhausting.” Palumbo-Jones, a popular kindergarten teacher from Germantown who taught at Frayser Achievement School, was reported missing April 16, 2013. She had sought an order of protection against Jones and told her friends he had physically abused

Germantown Police Reports

her in the past. The couple’s marriage had begun deteriorating in late 2012, when Palumbo-Jones discovered her husband was having afairs. The couple were expected to appear in court on April 19 for a custody hearing, but only Jones showed up. Jones became a suspect soon after his wife’s disappearance, but it was not until his second interview with detectives that he was charged with irst-degree murder. In that second interview with police, Jones said he and

his wife were ighting and struggling over a cellphone on April 15, and that Palumbo-Jones fell and cracked her head on the ground. A state medical examiner, Dr. Miguel Laboy, testiied that Palumbo-Jones had injuries consistent with strangulation. She also could have been smothered by a tarp that Jones put her in, he said. Following detailed instructions from Jones, investigators found Palumbo-Jones’ badly burned body in East Shelby County on April 23.

Ashley Carver points out an unidentified photograph from the National Archives to Tom Brown. The photograph is part of the Morton Museum’s “Collierville’s Soil Soldiers — The Untold Story of the New Deal in Collierville” exhibit. Rosters were not often kept in the camps, which leaves many people in the pictures unknown.

History: pictured Morton Museum exhibit highlights town’s African American history

John Stamps, chairman of the Collierville Planning Commission, is the new member of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The board appointed Stamps with four votes Monday night. Alderman Billy Patton, who beat Stamps in the November election, abstained. The board also passed a vote of conidence for Fire Chief Jerry Crawford, whose leadership abilities have been questioned in the past three weeks. The vote was 4-1, with Patton dissenting. Alderman Tom Allen was a surprise vote in support of Crawford, and said he did it when he realized he would be in the minority, and that a vote of support should be unanimous. In addition to his three years on the planning commission, Stamps served ive years on the board of zoning appeals. Stamps owns The Stamps Real Estate Company in Collierville, where he has lived for the last 20 years. He and his wife, Kathy, have two children, Brooke, 15, and Thomas, 11. Jennifer Pignolet

Special to The Weekly

Last summer, Ashley Carver, director of the Morton Museum of Collierville History, was planning future exhibits for the museum. With February being Black History Month, she wanted to highlight the town’s African American history. “During my research I discovered that one of the African American Civilian Conservation Corps camps was located in Collierville,” said Carver. “With a few articles from the Collierville Herald and one picture, there isn’t very much recorded about our local camp.” The Civilian Conservation Corps provided unskilled, manual labor jobs to unmarried men that had diiculty inding work during the Great Depression. As part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, the public work relief program also served as a natural resource conservation project. The CCC was a popular, yet temporary, program that was disbanded in 1942. Discovering more about CCC camps from the National Archives, Carver pieced together the museum’s latest exhibit, “Collierville’s Soil Soldiers — The

Untold Story of the New Deal in Collierville.” Along with the historical overview of the camps, the exhibit touches on the community’s response to having an African American camp in town, as well as the positive impact to the local farming economy. While Carver has uncovered most of the history involving the Collierville camp, there is much more to be found. “The museum is looking for descendants of those who served in the Collierville CCC Camp,” said Carver. “A father, uncle or someone who may recognize some of the people in the group photograph from our camp.” On Feb. 3, Carver met with lifelong area residents Tom Brown, his daughter Linda Brown, and Charlie L. Taylor. The purpose was to talk about this part of the town’s history, preview the exhibit and open a discussion to expand upon African American history in Collierville. Tom Brown has been an area civil rights activist for years, serving as the area NAACP president, as well as founding the

Collierville Civic Club. Charlie L. Taylor has also been active in the community, serving as the Collierville Police Department’s irst African American police oficer and founding the area Negro Baseball League. When asked if anyone knew someone involved in the Collierville CCC Camp, both Tom Brown and Taylor brought up one of their church members, Woodrow Brown, whose father, RD Brown, worked in the camp for a few years before enlisting in the Army in 1941. “I just saw the picture of Woodrow’s dad in his uniform last week,” said Linda Brown. The conversation continued with stories of the past and possibilities of sharing these stories in the future. “Collierville’s Soil Soldiers” opens Tuesday and will run until May 4. On Monday at 7 p.m., the Morton Museum will host the local NAACP meeting featuring guest speaker Dr. Beverly Bond who will be speaking about the local CCC camps.

Some of the vocabulary words were nadir, pyre, nether and serendipity. The rest of the rounds were spoken spelling. Cady likes to read, runs cross country and currently is part of a Web Club that is working to design a new website for her school. She won a number of prizes, including the trip to Maryland in May, an iPad Air 2, a Nikon Coolpix camera and Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, the official source for the bee. For Amirta, the run-

Amirta Manikandan

ner-up, the spelling bee was “exciti ng and nervewracking at the same time.” She says she’d studied for an hour

each day. “My school gave me a list of words and basically I just studied them every day for an hour,” she said. Besides spelling, Amirta likes reading, art, music and dancing. She’s on her school’s pom team, which just returned from the National Dance Team Championship in Orlando, Fla., and won irst place in pom and second in hip-hop. “I think I did pretty good. I think it was a good outcome,” said the 13-yearold eighth-grader.

START from 1 could no longer be shared, Germantown also would have to pay a penalty to Collierville. Supt. Jason Manuel said the expense may be doable, as the district came in under budget this year for transportation and is expected to next year as well. But the district has other needs the money could ill, including special education preschool and textbooks. Board chairwoman Lisa Parker said even though she agrees 8 a.m. is healthier than 7, she doesn’t believe changing start times is worth the expense. “I don’t believe this is the majority voice,” she said, adding that parents at Riverdale and Farmington are not happy their times

would have to change if Houston Middle and High are made later. “I believe we’re going to get there, it’s just we can’t aford it at this point in time,” Parker said. Dismuke, who has a daughter at Houston Middle and another at Dogwood, said he doesn’t know of any expense, even at $400,000, that would impact as many students as would changing the start times. “There’s nothing (better) you can give the classroom than students who are rested and who are capable of learning,” he said. The group has a social media presence at @GermantownCares on Twitter and “Germantown Cares” on Facebook. The pages contain multiple links to studies and articles from organizations such as the American Academy of Pe-

diatrics that all advocate for start times after 8 a.m. to be more in line with biological sleep rhythms that shift as much as two hours later in adolescents. Dismuke said the parents will be at the board’s work session and the vote on Feb. 23. Meanwell said the group is advocating for times later than 8 a.m., but that 7:45 would be a “good faith move in the right direction.” She said they started the group to unite parents across the district who may have thought the change was a done deal after the school board said last year that they would change the start times for the 2015-2016 school year. “I’m really hopeful that the board will be able to look at the numbers and be able to (make this) the priority they promised,” she said.

Some residents want dog park at Johnson Others say current one doesn’t get enough use By John Stamm Special to The Commercial Appeal

Dan Ford of Germantown sits on a bench, eating his sack lunch and tossing a yellow disc for his 6-month-old dog to chase. He and Harley are now regulars at the of-leash dog park in Collierville’s Suggs Park. “I just found this place a couple of weeks ago,” said the Delta Air Lines retiree, 59, watching Harley, an Australian cattle and blue heeler mix, make another dash. “It’s free, it takes me minutes to get here, it’s perfect for him and it gets me out of the house.” Ford was alone on this weekday but said that was unusual. Usually there are several dogs and even more on weekends, he said, citing a recent Saturday where despite 40-degree temperatures at midday there were as many as 25 dogs at the 1.1-acre site at 163. E. South St. near the Town Square. Alderman John Worley said he visits about every three weeks on diferent days to check activity, talk to people and see the size of the dogs. But the most he’s seen are ive or six people, often zero to two. “I want to see if it’s gotten the full use it should have, and so far it has not,” said Worley. Three years ago, an often-contentious debate about dog parks resulted in Suggs Park being selected and W.C. Johnson Park in northeast Collierville bypassed. Now, two years after Suggs opened and amid concerns about its usage, Worley and Alderman Tom Allen predict dialogue will begin anew soon about a Johnson dog park. “About 70 percent of the people live north of Poplar and don’t know where Suggs Park is,” said Allen. “Why would you want to load up your dog and carry it all the way over to Suggs Park when you can have one within walking distance of a big population area? It’s called convenience.” Allen and Worley say the dog park will be discussed when the board starts working on the budget later this month. Allen supports a site in the park’s western edge close to the west side of the lake and maintains money is available, citing $750,000 that is set aside each year in the town’s capital improvement program for parks and recreation. When it came to dog parks three years ago, Collierville was all over the map. Three sites were in play, including three locations at Johnson Park. At one point, both a site at Suggs and a larger, more costly one at Johnson were approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. On three occasions, the board gave the go-ahead for Johnson only to pull back, irst picking a 5.5acre site then changing to a 1.35-acre location near the children’s spray park. Finally in September 2012, the board approved $34,460 for the site in Suggs, but in February 2013 voted 4-2 against a Johnson project. Worley, who became an alderman in November 2013 after the debate, said Suggs had “a lot of growing pains,” crediting the parks and recreation department

and animal services director Nina Wingield with making improvements. An area for small dogs was created, dirt added in spots where it had rolled away to expose glass and rocks, mulch spread to control mud and benches added. “It’s pretty tough maintenance, but our guys stay on top of it,” said Chip Petersen, director of parks, recreation, cultural arts and community services. Worley said a recent study aldermen were given on what amenities and features Collierville would need over the next 20 years cited “one dog park per 45,000 people.” Latest figures from the U.S. Census Bureau estimate Collierville’s 2013 population at 47,333, up 3.8 percent from 2010. He believes another dog park will be needed but not in the next two years. For now, he said the board’s

emphasis should be on getting the animal shelter updated, adding a surgery center. “I think we’ve got to have more years of (this) dog park before we spend money on another one,” he said about Suggs. “Is it a perfect scenario? No. Is

it something that could be improved on? Yes. But for the irst dog park we have out here, I think they’ve done a good job.” Wingield said she believes Suggs is getting “used well, and a lot,” calling it a wonderful location with the trees, the

stream in the summer with water from the adjacent spray park and the available parking. Also a plus, she said, is it’s close to the animal shelter in the event of altercations and other problems. She said there have been instances of dogs left, perhaps strays who wander up and people think they belong to someone else But Wingield said she’s not in favor of another fenced-in dog park because we “haven’t solved the problems of a dog park, period,” noting too many dogs are coming to Suggs without being vaccinated for rabies, which she said is becoming an “issue” for wildlife in Tennessee. She also hasn’t decided whether residents should be given a card reader to enter the park, provided they show the dog has been vaccinated, and nonresidents charged a fee.

Wingield, though, does have one cost-saving option for Johnson Park. She’s suggested to Petersen the town try a pilot program used in cities not wanting to spend money on fences. A “designated use time” for dogs to be of-leash would be set, perhaps in the early morning, and the leash law heavily enforced at other times. On occasion now, dogs can be seen running loose at Johnson in the trail area near Wolf River Boulevard. Petersen said the program has not been presented to the board, which would have to approve because it would be in violation of town’s leash ordinance. “We’ve looked at it and have talked to other communities that have done it,” said Petersen. “I certainly think it has good possibilities.”

I love that everyone Luke Whaley (left) of Germantown, Jonathan Robinson, Nathan Perkins, Ashley Colley, Hudson Sanders of Germantown, Joy Madison and Lisa Field of Germantown pack boxes illed with food items that were donated to the Mid-South Food Bank. By Paula Cowart Special to The Weekly

What do kids eat over the weekend? For most of children, weekends mean a break from school lunches and a time for family meals, dinner at a local restaurant or treats made at home. But for more than 1,750 children in the MidSouth, weekends are hungry times because they do not have access to the free breakfast and lunch program at their schools. A group of 18 ifth-graders from Evangelical Christian School’s Ridge Lake campus recently spent a morning packing backpacks at the Mid-South Food Bank to provide help to these hungry children. The Food Bank’s “Food for Kids BackPack” program sends home backpacks or boxes each weekend containing chili, macaroni and cheese, beef stew, green beans, corn, tuna, juice, milk, cereal, pudding, and packets

of peanut butter and jelly, along with a nutrition guide. This was an eye-opening

experience for the students, most of whom had never considered the reality that there

are so many hungry children in Memphis. ECS teacher Ashley Colley described the experience as invaluable because the students really were able to understand the need that they were illing and in turn gained a greater appreciation for the many blessings they have. Her students were excited to bring 275 pounds of nonperishable food items to donate to the food bank, but left with even more of a sense of satisfaction for the 560 backpacks that they and some parents packed while they were there. Student Evelyn Vander Zwaag commented how much fun it was to create an assembly line and quickly ill boxes. All the students agreed the most exciting part was to know that kids would have food this weekend because of the work they were doing. Paula Cowart is the principal at ECS Ridge Lake.

Bailey Station Elementary School ifth-grader Kehua Zhao recently won irst place in the school level competition of the 27th annual National Geographic Bee. In addition to his school title, Zhao now has a chance to compete for a $50,000 scholarship and the possibility of an all expense paid trip to the national competition in Washington, D.C. In order to compete at the national level, Zhao will irst need to advance to the state

level this spring. Zhao’s teacher is Heather Kubitz. Second-place honors went to Thanasi Karastamatis from Beth Warren’s ifth-grade class. Tyler Cofman, also from Kubitz’s class, was the third-place winner. “We are very proud of our geography bee participants,” said BSE APEX teacher Cindy Schepman who sponsors the bee each year. “It’s a great way for them to have fun learning about the world.”

Best-selling author speaks to fifth-grade students By Jennifer L. Mock Special to The Weekly

On Jan. 29, Farmington Elementary hosted best-selling author Molly Caldwell Crosby to speak to ifth-grade classes. The ifth-graders have been studying the yellow fever epidemic in their classes so teacher Elizabeth Butler invited Crosby, a local author who wrote the best-selling book “The American Plague: The Untold Story of Yellow Fever, the Epidemic That Shaped Our History,” to speak with the Farmington students. She discussed with students

about what she had learned about yellow fever and Memphis in the early 1800s during the course of writing her book. She also spoke about being a writer — what inspired her to become a writer (her ifth-grade teacher told her she did well on a standardized reading test they had taken and encouraged her to pursue writing), how she conducts her research and her writing process. The students had prepared some great questions for her, which she happily answered.

Molly Caldwell Crosby, author of the bestselling book “The American Plague: The Untold Story of Yellow Fever, the Epidemic That Shaped Our History,” was the guest speaker at Farmington Elementary.

Hundreds attend James Bond themed fundraiser PAGE ROBBINS GALA

‘Seize the Day’ By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

age Robbins Adult Day Center recently put on its annual gala fundraiser at the Esplanade. This year’s event was titled “Seize the Day,” which celebrated a James Bond theme. During the evening, a sellout crowd of more than 350 guests sipped wine and viewed items available for the silent auction. All items were donated by individuals and businesses and included coupons for discounts on goods and services, as well as dinners at local eateries, bottles of wine, jewelry, weekend getaways, spa treatments, visits to salons, rounds of golf and more. Following a sit-down dinner, the guests heard from the evening’s host and hostess, Linda and Gus Lauer, the gala chairs, who thanked the attendees and donors. They also recognized those in attendance whose tireless work helps Page Robbins clients who are experiencing memory loss or dementia due to Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, vascular dementia or stroke. Soon after, a live auction was held with nationally award winning auctioneer Terri Walker of Walker Auctions. Some of the items up for auction were vacation trips, gourmet meals and a Kate Spade bag stufed with cash. Attendees had the opportunity to purchase wineglasses that were painted by the clients at Page Robbins. This year, 280 painted glasses were on display. Before the live auction, executive director Herbie Krisle said next year’s gala will be held at the Peabody Hotel.

Prep Sports WRESTLING

Arlington won the Region 8-AAA Individual Tournament held last weekend at Arlington High. Houston took second place and had two individual regional champions.

Tigers grab Region 8 individual crown By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

According to Will Craft, it would be wrong to say the Arlington wrestling team is poised to break through when the AAA state tournament starts today in Franklin. “I think we’ve already broken through,” the senior said. “I think people know they have to bring their ‘A’ game now when they face Arlington.” Craft and his Tiger team-

mates brought it last Saturday as they produced six individual champions en route to winning the Region 8-AAA title. Arlington did much of its damage at the lower weights, starting with Caleb Morgan’s 4-2 victory over Houston’s Kameron Ewen at 106. Andrew Zarshenas then needed only about a minute to win his second straight region title as he pinned Houston’s Colin Jones at 132. The victory came just moments after Jones’ twin, Keaton, defeated Arlington’s Reid Caca-

ro 5-4 at 126 in the most exciting match of the day. Craft pinned Collierville’s Diego Scott-McCabe to win at 138 before Michael Mowery took a 3-2 win over Cordova’s James Costner at 152. Arlington’s top two wrestlers, Nathan Enzor, at 160, and Rayveon Hardin, at 195, added the inal two region titles for the Tigers. Houston, Bolton and German-

town had two winners each. The Mustangs’ Travis Arthur matched Keaton Jones’ title with a win at 126, while the Wildcats got victories from Kris Bledsoe (145) and Nick Wilson (220). Jefrey Houston (170) and Mo Sambe (182) took home titles for the Red Devils. Other winners were Collierville’s Jared Briant (113) and Cordova’s Salvador Martinez Jr. (285).

SIGNING DAY SNAPSHOTS Briarcrest’s Jude Hydrick and his family gathered at the school for National Signing Day. Next fall, Hydrick will attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School with the intent to attend the U.S. Naval Academy upon his graduation from NAPS. He has also signed to play football for the Rams. After he graduates from the Naval Academy, he plans on joining the Marines or the Navy. He is the son of Stacey (left) and David (right) Hydrick. Briarcrest football coach Brian Stewart also attended Hydrick’s signing.

Briarcrest’s Ben Ellis signed his National Letter of Intent last week to play football at Princeton University. He was the quarterback on the varsity football team. He is also the president of the BCHS Student Government. He is the son of Clay and Cheryl Ellis of Collierville.

FOOTBALL

CBHS tabs McDaniel as new coach By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Thomas McDaniel is coming home. McDaniel, the highly successful coach at Murfreesboro Oakland, was announced Feb. 4 as the new football coach at CBHS. He replaces Scott Vogel, who spent two seasons at the school, including a 6-5 inish in 2014. “I just made the decision that was the best for me and my family,” said McDaniel, a 1996 graduate of Bartlett. “But I’ve always known that CBHS was a unique place. ... I’m excited (and) it’s very humbling.” McDaniel spent seven seasons at Oakland, guiding the Patriots to a 68-20 record. The Patriots’ best season came in 2008 when they won the 5A state championship. District 7-AAA, in which Oakland competes, is annually one of the toughest — if not the toughest — leagues in the state. But McDaniel said leading the Brothers in Division 2-AA will be equally challenging. “The important thing is that the brotherhood, the family, the camaraderie has already been established here,” he said. “It’s more about ine-tuning and tweaking the culture of the program.”

Robinwood Retirement Community Offers All-Inclusive Living for Seniors You or your parents may have lived in the family home for years, so the conversation around moving to an Independent Living community is easy to put off. Although you/ they may not be eager to broach the subject of moving to a new place, it’s important to talk about this exciting time while everyone is healthy and can be active participants. When families wait until a crisis occurs, you might have to make decisions quickly, which can result in wrong choices based on apartment availability or without time to research properly. With the right option, change can be invigorating, especially when the move is to an all-inclusive community, one with a set monthly price, without large buy-ins or longterm contracts.“ “Robinwood Retirement Community, near the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an exciting lifestyle and the freedom to appreciate what’s most important - friends and family. You’ve saved your whole life, and our residents are happy to retire without signing their life or life savings away,” said Manager Joshua Brown. “If you’re looking to downsize, or if the maintenance and upkeep of your house has gotten to be too much for you or your loved one[s], an independent living apartment at Robinwood Retirement Community ills a deinite need,” he said. “Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are spacious, beautifully-designed living spaces that include fully-equipped kitchens, luxurious private baths, washer-dryer connections, and more. Our patio homes have additional amenities including raised ceilings, a dining room area, washer/dryer included, and a two-car garage.” Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that was once known as Robinwood Farms. Robinwood’s on-site managers and professional staff give peace and comfort to residents and their families 24 hours a day. At the push of a button, someone is available around the clock, in the event of an emergency. “It’s a hard move to make,” said resident Betty Anderson. “A real decision to be thought out, but after my husband and I moved here he said it was absolutely the best decision we’d made and I agree. We’re so glad to be

here at Robinwood. The staff truly cares, you feel love here, and they are here for you 24 hours a day.” “One additional beneit of downsizing at Robinwood,” Brown continued, “is the simplicity it offers our residents without asking them to sacriice anything. One monthly payment to Robinwood, instead of paying bills to restaurants and grocery stores, to utility companies for water, electricity, cable and phone companies, to housekeepers, to home maintenance companies to landscapers, and to the government for property taxes and the like. “Robinwood’s Freedom Dining means meals are included in the price of the monthly rent, so residents don’t pay an additional charge each time they eat. In addition, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood means that each of our three chef-prepared meals is served daily within a casual time window that enables residents to eat on their own schedules. “You choose when you sit down to eat,” Brown said. “Residents also have access to our Chef’s Pantry, where residents can enjoy a delicious sandwich, snacks, drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours a day – all at no additional charge. Room service and meals to-go are also available for no extra fee.” “We were so impressed with how friendly, professional, and polite the staff was when we toured Robinwood.” Residents Pervis and Mary Nell Ballew commented. “Imagine our delight when we realized that it wasn’t an act, continuing to get the red carpet treatment after moving in.” Interested people can experience Robinwood’s family-friendly lifestyle by scheduling a tour. Tours are offered seven days a week. Brown said, “When you make a decision to give us a try, your rent is month-to-month with a full 30-day money-back guarantee. For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Robinwood Retirement Community, at 2795 Kirby-Whitten Rd., Memphis, TN 38134, call 901-612-2711, or visit www.RobinwoodRetirement.com.

rent, all utilities paid, resort-style dining (three meals included daily), professionally staffed (24/7), valet parking, complimentary shuttle service.

Members of the Phunny Phorty Phellows recently celebrated aboard a streetcar in New Orleans. King’s Day is a tradition marking the 12th night after Christmas and the oicial start of the Mardi season. Carnival is celebrated along the Gulf Coast with parties, balls and parades culminating on Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, a inal day of celebration before Lent.

EW ORLEANS — If you want to visit New Orleans for Mardi Gras and don’t have hotel reservations, you may need a tent. But you might not even be able to ind tent space for the 10th Mardi Gras since Hurricane Katrina looded the city.

Cheap gas and a holiday trifecta are contributing to strong lodging demands. Mardi Gras falls on Feb. 17, the day before is Presidents Day and the Saturday before is Valentine’s Day. Hotel occupancy is usually about 95 percent for Mardi Gras, which draws an estimated 1 million visitors. One booking site last week showed 184 hotels with no rooms for the weekend. Another 53 hotels had some availability, but some of them were as far as 30 miles from New Orleans, and only a dozen cost less than $300 a night. All 98 tent and RV sites at Bayou Segnette State Park, across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, are reserved for Fat Tuesday and the weekend leading into it, administrative coordinator Jill Doucet said. “We’re booked pretty far in advance for Mardi Gras,” she said. For those who are heading to New Orleans, here are some hints for a happy and healthy Mardi Gras.

PARKING Parking along parade routes gets very tight. The French Quarter is closed to outside vehicles the entire weekend, though residents and hotel guests get parking passes. SEATING Bring chairs, or for sitting on the ground, towels or blankets. For frontrow spots, get to the route at least an hour before a parade — several hours for the huge night parades and those on Fat Tuesday. Some locals show up about dawn. But loats rise well above eye level, so even from the back you’ll have a view. You can buy tickets for grandstand seating, but many events are sold out. GEWGAWS Grabbing for plastic beads, cups, big aluminum doubloons (replicas of Spanish gold coins) and other gewgaws thrown from loats is an infectious sport. Bring a bag to carry whatever you can’t wear. LOADING You can buy food from vendors,

jammed that it’s all but impossible to walk against the crowd.

A tourist prays at the reputed tomb of Marie Laveau in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, in New Orleans. Vandalism is prompting a new rule for New Orleans’ oldest standing cemetery. Beginning in March, visitors to the cemetery will be restricted to occupants’ relatives and people accompanied by a tour guide registered with the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

rolling carts, restaurants and even schools and churches along the parade routes. If you can get a reservation, dining at a restaurant with a view of the parade is a bit surreal: Outside, people scream and grab for goodies thrown from loats; inside is the hum of conversation and clink of silverware on china. Unlike many cities, New Orleans lets you walk around with booze, as long as it’s in a can or plastic cup — nothing breakable.

UNLOADING Some churches, schools and restaurants sell passes to use portable toilets on their property. The city is setting up 650 free toilets in high-trafic areas but lines can be long. Bars, restaurants and stores also sell potty passes for their facilities or allow use

if you make a purchase. Public urination and public drunkenness are two common reasons for arrests on Mardi Gras.

SAFETY Signs put up by French Quarter residents and businesses, prompted by more than 60 holdups in and around the neighborhood since November, advise, “Caution: Walk in Large Groups.” The city police force is at just 72 percent of what oicials consider optimum strength, but, as usual at Mardi Gras, 12-hour shifts, state police and sherif’s deputies from New Orleans and nearby will supplement the force. FRENCH QUARTER No parades, but lots of costumes. The narrow streets are sometimes so

MARDI GRAS EXHIBITS The Presbytere, one of three state museums on Jackson Square in the French Quarter, has a permanent exhibit about the festival’s origins and history, with costumes and other memorabilia. Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World, 1380 Port of New Orleans Place, is where hundreds of loats are built for parades here and elsewhere. The Backstreet Cultural Museum, 1116 St. Claude Ave., in the Treme neighborhood, has the city’s largest collection of feathered and beaded Mardi Gras Indian costumes, each created by the African-American who wore it. OTHER ATTRACTIONS Check out the National World War II Museum; Audubon Nature Institute’s zoo, aquarium and insectarium; Louisiana Children’s Museum; New Orleans Museum of Art; or the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Metairie Cemetery, just outside city limits, has mausoleums both fanciful and historic, many incorporating stained glass. There’s so much history in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, near the French Quarter, that you may want to book a tour. There also are good tours of Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 in the Garden District. EARLIER PARADES Parades take place nightly for the two weeks leading into Fat Tuesday, though they’re less ornate than later parades.
