MURFREESBORO — In a match that had a little bit of everything, the Houston soccer team had just a little bit more.

The Mustangs scored two goals in a seven-minute stretch bridging both halves, then hung on in a wild inal few minutes to capture the AAA state championship, beating Johnson City Science Hill, 3-2, at Siegel Soccer Park.

“We inally accomplished it,” said senior midielder and cocaptain Oshi Amro. “I think we deserved it, and it’s great to go out with a bang.”

A conceptual plan to develop the 10 acres of Kirby Farms in Germantown includes a 216-bed hotel and two buildings with a total of 185,000 square feet for oice and retail space.

The Germantown Planning Commission had its irst look at the plans last week and will vote June 2 on whether the developers should move forward to create inal site plans.

The property was rezoned last year as part of 58 acres designated as the western gateway to the city, running from the Fountain Square condominium development through Carrefour at Kirby Woods shopping center and east to Kirby Farms.

Economic and community development director Cameron Ross said the proposed development is exactly what the city had in mind when it was rezoned.

“There’s a mix of uses that can activate it for more than an eight-hour workday,” Ross said. “This does meet what the city was looking for when we did the small area plan.”

Developer Ray Gill said restaurants are a possibility, and he has already generated interest from companies seeking oice space in the range of 5,000 to 30,000 square feet.

“We’re planning for it to be a very inviting, pedestrianfriendly environment,” Gill said. “We’ll be able to attract headquarters of companies, or irms that would like to

In the News CENSUS

Downsized: Memphis now 23rd largest city

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

Memphis lost more than 1,600 residents and slipped three spots on the list of the nation’s largest cities during the 12 months ending last July 1, census estimates released last week show.

The city’s population fell from 658,508 to 656,861, according to the estimates.

The new igure dropped Memphis from the 20th- to

23rd-most populous city in the U.S. The estimates further show that the city’s reign as the largest municipality in Tennessee is likely to end soon. Nashville, which has been gaining about 10,000 residents annually, grew to 644,014 and is poised to overtake Memphis, possibly this year.

As recently as the 2010 Census, Memphis had about 45,000 more people than Nashville.

Memphis’ population had grown between 2010 and 2012, reaching an estimated 659,757, largely as a result of the annexation of about 4,900 residents in South Cordova. But it’s fallen each year since.

“I’m not particularly surprised ...,” said Louis Pol, dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. “A lot of this is driven by a continuation of white light from the city.”

SOCCER

Pol, studyed the city’s demographic patterns about 35 years ago at what was then Memphis State, said the steady migration of residents from Memphis has resulted in an older “age structure” of the population, producing fewer children to ofset the loss.

Elena Delavega, assistant professor of social work at the University of Memphis, said the loss of middle-class jobs and the dramatic reduction of

lights from Memphis International Airport have been factors.

But she said the city’s reputation for crime — which she calls somewhat exaggerated — contributes, as well.

Greater Memphis Chamber officials say they’re working to reverse the population decline through collaborative efforts to create jobs, build a middle class and reduce poverty.

residents, growth in the suburbs was uneven.

Bartlett, Collierville and Southaven experienced modest growth, while Arlington, Germantown, Lakeland and Millington sustained slight declines in population. The ninecounty Memphis metropolitan area had minimal growth, increasing by 1,520 to 1,343,230, according to the estimates. Nashville’s metro area added more than 34,000 residents.

F O R E V E R YO U N G

Houston, it’s the irst boys championship since 2000 and the 30th team state title.

It also avenges Houston’s only loss this year; the Hilltoppers beat the Mustangs 2-0 in the irst game of the season.

“I told their coach that they won on aggregate,” Wolf joked, referring to how matches are decided over two legs in pro leagues around the world.

“But this is not the same team,” Wolf added. “From last year to where are now ... it’s totally different.

They’ve improved their discipline, their positioning ... they’ve just grown all year.”

Houston was unlucky to go down 1-0 27 minutes into the game when sure-handed goalkeeper Jeremy Albright bobbled a glancing header from Miller Franklin.

The Mustangs had created the better chances and were rewarded just before halftime when standout freshman Stefano Della Rosa was brought down in the box and converted the ensuing penalty.

“That was huge,” Wolf said. “We knew whenever it got to 1-1 the momentum would be ours.”

He was right.

Peyton McKnatt put Houston ahead with a close-range finish four minutes into the second half before Houston’s other ninth-grade star, Ben Shepherd, tucked in another penalty in the 68th minute.

“Stef and Ben, they’re the two best freshmen in the state,” said McKnatt.

Added Wolff, “We earned those penalties because we were working hard in the box.”

Science Hill threw everything in attack in the late stages and made it interesting when Elliot Fry scored with about two minutes to go.

Albright then came through with the play of the game, making an acrobatic reflex save to deny a close-range Science Hill shot.

“That saved the game,” said McKnatt.

Tempers boiled over in the inal minute when Science Hill’s Franklin decked Sebastian Musicante from behind. Musicante received a yellow card.

“We bowed up at the end,” said Wolf, pulling out one of his favorite phrases.

“We could have done a little better (defending) the balls they were sending over the top ... we were the more disciplined team.”

And certainly the better one.

People watch an acrobatic plane during an air show by the Commemorative Air Force along the Mississippi River before the start of the AutoZone Sunset Symphony, which ended its 39-year run with a grand inale celebration Saturday in Tom Lee Park. Memphis in May oicials have said the Sunset Symphony will be replaced next year by a diferent event. The type of event will be announced in 2016. The symphony is also working on producing its own event in 2016.

On a final note

By Thomas Bailey Jr. baileytom@yourappeal.com 901-529-2388

Sunset Symphony left with a bang, of course.

Memphis in May’s inal act for 39 years, Sunset Symphony exploded permanently out of sight and into the city’s history books with a 30-minute ireworks extravaganza that ended about 10 p.m. Saturday.

“I loved it,” Midtowner Nicole Heverly said while colorful explosions still boomed overhead. She and her group of four left a few minutes early to beat the mass exodus after their ive-hour outing.

“I liked the ireworks a lot,” chimed in young Alexander Cline.

“We have pictures.”

Heverly’s favorite part was the air show that preceded the Memphis Symphony Orchestra’s performance.

Their group didn’t arrive at Tom Lee Park until 5 p.m. The early ones showed up at 2, six hours before the sun literally sank on the last Sunset Symphony.

The first arrivals strapped camping chairs across their shoulders, rolled coolers of ice, food and drinks in their Radio Flyers, bungee-corded the tarps, blankets, folding tables, umbrellas, utensils, American flags, bunting and Uncle Sam hats, and summoned the energy to haul it from some Downtown side street down the bluf, where they began yet another long trek through the riverside park.

The 2 o’clock crowd comprised the die-hards, and die hard they did with the inal AutoZone Sunset Symphony.

“We love it; it’s not too much,” Leona Melton said of her 14hour day of preparing-driving-

Fans come out in force to bid Sunset Symphony farewell parking-hauling-walking-setting up-enjoying-packing up-hauling out-driving home.

“The corner holes are done,” she told her sister-in-law, Dorothy Maxwell, with whom she’s been attending Sunset Symphonies for 32 straight years. Melton had been pounding a large nail into the ground with a hammer to create holes. They posted U.S. lags in the holes to stake out their territory near the stage.

Other groups “fenced” their turf with lawn chairs or stamped it with blankets.

Perhaps the most coveted spots were in the shade of Tom Lee’s few modest-size oak trees.

Gertrude Kinard, her granddaughter Ashlee Williams and 6-year-old grandson Kelvin Reed arrived when the gates opened to claim the best of all trees, the one closest to the stage.

“I like everything they do,” Kinard said of the warm-up acts, Memphis Symphony Orchestra and guest performances, air show and ireworks.

Before taking a bite out of her Subway sandwich, Kinard looked at the stage, considered the end of an era and said, “I hate it.”

It may seem counterintuitive, but not all early arrivals wanted to sit near the stage.

Laverne McDow and her two children picked a spot well back and so far to the side that their

blankets were angled on the slope of the Mississippi River bank.

“I’m just basically here for the ireworks show,” she said, noting that the ireworks typically soar above the river. “Hopefully I’m not too close. Hopefully they are out a little ways so I won’t have to hurt my neck looking up.”

Brooke Brashier and her family set up even farther back from the stage along the river, but for a different reason. “We just want to get by the river, somewhere where we can hear each other talk,” she said.

She’s lived in Nashville about 18 months, but returned home late Friday for the Sunset Symphony.

“This is our favorite part about Memphis in May,” Brashier said.

“We come every year. We’re really sad that it’s the last one.”

The crowd was way up and the temperature was way down compared to the irst Sunset Symphony.

The inaugural event took place actually on the irst Saturday in June 1977.

An audience estimated at 3,500 endured heat that had barely dropped from a record-tying 96 degrees by the 4 p.m. start in Tom Lee Park, according to a 39-yearold newspaper account. Some festivalgoers rubbed ice on their shoulders to stay comfortable.

“The mellow sounds of the strings and winds in the orchestra were almost upstaged by cannon and rile salutes in Tschaikovsky’s ‘1812 Overture,’” Commercial Appeal reporter Donn Grof wrote. The audience roared its approval with each round of “booms.”

Memphis in May oicials have said the Sunset Symphony will be replaced next year by a diferent event. The type of new event will be announced in 2016.

Forever Young Senior Veterans will present a music-illed, USO-style tribute to World War II veterans on June 6.

The Collierville-based nonprofit organization has again lined up FedEx Corp. as presenting sponsor and booked First Assembly Memphis, 8650 Walnut Grove, for a musical tribute featuring videos on the Paciic and Europe and World War II-era cartoons.

The event, named Sentimental Journey II, will be from 4-6 p.m. and reprise a concert nearly three years ago.

The irst program, held Sept. 15, 2012, drew more than 2,100 people including 425 World War II veterans.

“It ended up being better than we ever dreamed,” said Forever Young founder and president Diane Hight. “It was really going to be a onetime thing, but we had so many people begging to do it again.”

The 71st anniversary of the Allied invasion of Europe will provide the historical backdrop for the program, which Hight said probably will be the last.

“Our World War II veterans will be gone soon, so this is our last opportunity to thank them for our freedom,” she said.

World War II veterans interested in the program can register by calling Forever Young at 901299-7516 to reserve two free tickets apiece, Hight said.

Tickets are on sale for $15 each at First Assembly, Forever Young at 185 S. Center St., Suite 110, and on the web at wwiiamerica.com.

The program will include the Memphis Jazz Orchestra performing 1940s-era Big Band music, an Andrews Sisterstype ensemble and other singers and dancers.

building. Gill said that’s where the parking garage will go, and it will stay within the three-story limits closest to the neighborhood. Farther away from the homes, as permitted by the zoning, the hotel will be four stories at the back of the property. The retail and oice spaces each will be two stories.

“You’ll be able to walk to eat, you’ll be able to walk from the hotel to the ofice,” Gill said.

A traic study, Gill said, has shown the need for a stop light at the entrance to the property of Poplar.

The property is the last substantial section of undeveloped land in the western gateway, which

runs between Poplar and Poplar Pike on the city’s western end. It sits vacant now, the historic Kirby Farm House and its outer buildings relocated last year to a property just south of the city.

Ross said the goal is not to tear down any existing development, but as those spaces turn over in the future, developers now have more options if and when they decide to rebuild an area. That will help keep development out of the neighborhoods and preserve the single-family home areas, he said.

“We’re focusing our development in areas that have a focus of commercial uses already,” Ross said.

Moody mentioned the town’s Johnson and Halle parks as well as Hinton, a future site at Fleming and Holmes, as possible additional locations. But she said that will depend on the usage at the Cox trail, which opened last week.

“If you’re trying to get total itness on the loop, this is a great idea,” she said. “If you don’t want to pay for a gym membership, then this is a nice alternative. It’s something extra to do.”

In the News HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL

Football field turf plan gets put on fast track Must be installed due to drainage project campaign, the bidding process and the construction. The cost of the contract is 5 percent of the project cost, but neither the consulting contract nor the construction would use any school or city money. Tim Cowan, owner of the company, presented possible turf plans to the school board at the end of last year, but no timetable was set.

Schools director of operations Josh Cathey said when the city informed the school district that a drainage project, known as Lateral G, would erode the practice ield, they knew it was time to move forward with at least the football turf installation. The hope, he said, is to also install a turf baseball ield and softball ields for a total cost of about $2 million. But for now, the priority is the football ield.

“That will move almost immediately just because they need a place to practice,” Cathey said.

City Engineer Tim Gwaltney said the drainage project will be done in two phases over two years. The irst phase is set to begin late this summer and will involve installing underground drainage piping on the west side of the ield, between the ield and the homes in Dogwood Grove. A berm also will be installed along the existing drainage ditch, which runs along the east side of the ield.

The second phase, budgeted for the following iscal year, would widen the ditch and stabilize the banks. The total estimated cost is about $2.1 million, Gwaltney said, and should go out for bid in the next few weeks.

After the construction, the practice ield “will be usable but very much a smaller area than what’s available now,” Gwaltney said. Most of the ield could be rebuilt over time, but it would be costly, he said.

Consultant Cowan said the newly created Houston High School Athletic and Arts

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

A plan to install artiicial turf on the Houston High School football ield in Germantown is being fast-tracked for completion this summer.

A campaign is underway to raise about $700,000 in private dollars for the installation of the turf, on an accelerated timeline due to a city drainage project that’s about to eat away at the team’s practice ield. The drainage project will remove a loodzone for about 30 homes in the Dogwood Grove neighborhood, and could result in lower lood insurance premiums for homeowners.

The ield, to the west of the school, serves several athletic teams and the marching band, which can’t practice on the game ield for fear of tearing it up before game day.

Synthetic turf, school oicials say, will eliminate the need for a practice ield. Students could run routes, twirl batons or set a tuba down on the 50-yard line and it wouldn’t do any damage to the turf before game day. It would need to be replaced for about half the cost of the initial installation every 12-13 years.

The kind of turf to be used is still to be determined. Those in charge of the project are leaning toward the cheaper crumb rubber turf, and along with industry oicials, say an NBC News report last year suggesting a link between the turf and high rates of cancer was unfounded.

A man-made option, for roughly $50,000 more, is also possible and does not carry the same concerns about carcinogens in the rubber, oicial said.

Last week, the Germantown Municipal School Board approved on a contract to hire consulting group Athletic Surfaces Plus to manage the fundraising

The practice field used by the Houston High School football team and marching band is part of a TVA easement, meaning the goal posts share space with power lines, and a paved bicycle path runs through the field. Community members in Germantown are trying to raise money to build a new turf field.

Foundation has about half the $700,000 committed, but will need all of it to move forward with the project. He said the request for bids will be issued in the next few weeks, and will ask for estimates for the two kinds of turf.

Cowan called the reports of dangers of crumb-rubber, called styrene-butadiene rubber, “erroneous” and said numerous studies have showed the product is safe. Several ields in the MidSouth use the crumb rubber turf, including MUS. Cowan said the community has responded well to the campaign, especially considering the shortened time frame and the fact that the district is only a year old.

“Germantown businesses and individuals are very receptive to the need,” he said.

Bailey Station Elementary holds third annual history fair

By Kimberly Shepherd Special to The Weekly

Fifth-grade students at Bailey Station Elementary recently hosted the third annual United States History Fair.

The fair showcased projects created by the ifth-grade students on a variety of social studies topics taught throughout the year. The projects were presented to community members, Collierville board members, parents, teachers and other students.

Students used their creativity to present their assigned topics. Each student was responsible for writing a research paper, giving a speech, and presenting a project to

classmates before the fair.

Among the projects presented were PowerPoint presentations, trifold boards, models and collages. This fair was a culmination of several months of study and research. While not only being fun and educational, the fair gave students the to opportunity to gain real world presentation skills by teaching others the knowledge they had gained through this experience. This year’s fair was an overwhelming success, and we appreciate all of those who attended and participated in the fair.

Emelie Rodriguez proudly displays her 9-11 project she showed at Bailey Station’s History Fair.

Dr. Trey and Angela Eubanks are committed to using their combined medical skill to serve needy children throughout the world.

The couple met in 1998 while both were working at the former Regional Medical Center (now Regional One Health) in downtown Memphis. Trey was working as a surgical resident, and Angela was working as a trauma nurse in the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center.

“I irst met Trey while he was rotating through the Trauma Unit at the Med. I immediately knew he could be part of my future. We cared for one particularly diicult patient together for many, many hours, and it was during that time that we shared our stories and life history.”

Their relationship grew. They were married, and 15 years later, they are raising two young children. Trey’s career has lourished, and he is now the division chief of pediatric surgery at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

“Trey loves caring for children at Le Bonheur, and has had the chance to travel overseas several times to assist with medical care in impoverished areas,” Angela said.

“It has always been a desire of ours to travel for missions with our children, and provide medical care.”

In March, the Eubanks were able to do just that. Their sons, Jimmy, 9, and Sydney, 12, were thrilled at the opportunity to travel to Columbia with friends from school to serve at La Aljaba Children’s Home. The Eubanks provided medical checkups for nearly 100 children who come to La Aljaba every day from the surrounding jungle villages.

Two children were identiied that needed further care.

“We were able to direct the families of these children to clinics where their health needs could be monitored,” Angela said.

Jimmy and Sydney attend Evangelical Christian School — Jimmy at the East Memphis Ridge Lake campus and Sydney at the middle school campus in Cordova. ECS has a strategic partnership for service and missions with Orphanos Foundation.

Wayne Sneed has directed Orphanos for the past 17 years. “Orphanos is simply a pass through organization, where American funds and service can be aligned with projects throughout the world that desperately need help,” Sneed said.

“We’ve developed two successful partnership in Memphis; one with Briarcrest Christian School and one with ECS. Kids from these schools are able to travel overseas on trips to serve others in indigenous cultures.”

ECS’s partnership with Orphanos began nearly 15 years ago when families and faculty at the school began supporting Isaac Children’s Home in Korea. “A student in our community had been adopted as a young child from Korea,” said Gay Edge, academic dean. “It was a true blessing to support an orphanage that was physically so far away and yet in an area so close to our hearts.”

Then-president of ECS, Bryan Miller, and Edge began to conceive a partnership with a children’s home a bit closer to the U.S. so ECS students and families could become intimately involved. The Eubanks traveled with 12 other ECS parents, students and faculty members to Columbia over spring break.

Jimmy Eubanks was thrilled to experience the trip with his ECS Ridge Lake principal, Paula Cowart. Cowart joined ECS Forest Hill principal Joanne Lamberth in training the academic tutors who work with the Columbian children. Both principals also enjoyed time with ECS and La Aljaba kids on various outings. “I found that the relationships built among the team, with the children there, and with the [La Aljaba] staf truly exempliied the body of Christ. We quickly fell in love with the children and adults in this special place and learned from them as much as we ministered to them,” Cowart said.

Wayne Sneed said a core goal of Orphanos Foundation is to broker relationships in the U.S. with communities in the world that are economically poor. “Oftentimes, the orphanages and children’s homes we partner with are spiritually rich, but (they) simply have a dire economic need. It is a joy to bring American funds and help to those whom are serving the least of these.”

Mylissa Horrocks is the communications writer for ECS.

Board gives first OK to 15-cent increase Property tax would rise to $1.68

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

Collierville Schools Supt. John Aitken said that while he appreciates the town’s proactive approach to raising taxes to fund the district’s capital improvements, he questions whether the proposed 15-cent hike to the property tax rate will be enough to fully meet the school system’s needs.

“I would probably at this point say it’s not enough,” Aitken said Tuesday.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday night passed the irst reading of the tax rate for next year’s budget, increasing it from $1.53 to $1.68 per $100 of assessed value. The vote was 5-0, with Alderman Tom Allen absent.

Before the increase would take efect July 1, two more votes will be required, along with a public hearing scheduled for June 8. The board could raise or lower the amount of the increase, or do away with it altogether, at any point before the third and inal vote. If approved, property taxes for a $200,000 home would rise from $725 to $840 a year.

Town Administrator James Lewellen said the money would generate about $2.2 million a year.

Mayor Stan Joyner noted it would be “pledged” — as opposed to being legally earmarked — for capital needs for the schools. It could be used to pay of debt service on a major

project or could fund the installation of a new roof or windows.

Aitken said Tuesday night marked the irst time the school administrators and board members had heard the proposed plan, which includes coupling the tax increase with budget cuts and leftover money from a half-cent sales tax to create about $4.2 million a year for capital improvements. He said he will meet with his staf this morning to review what was discussed.

“Is what they’re doing going to be enough? That’s

Is what they’re doing going to be enough?

That’s the question that’s looming out there.”

John Aitken, Collierville Schools Supt.

the question that’s looming out there,” Aitken said.

And if it’s not enough, he added, “What’s the next step?”

The district has been pushing for a new high school that would accommodate up to 3,000 students, but could cost in the ballpark of $90 million.

Property tax increases discussed previously were in the range of 34 to 38 cents.

Alderman Billy Patton, during a discussion before the vote, noted that the 15cent tax increase would not be on top of the 38-cent increase, but in place of it.

But paired with leftover sales tax money, the total funding for school capital improvements would be the equivalent of a 30-cent increase. The half-cent sales tax brings in more than $4 million a year, but only $2.1 million legally has to go to the schools for operations. The rest has been sitting in a fund loosely designated for educational purposes.

Patton said the board recognizes the capacity issues and need for new school facilities, as well as maintenance of current buildings.

“As a board, when we have responsibilities, the last thing we want to do is put our head in the dirt and say it doesn’t really exist,” he said.

Patton also noted the public would still have the right to petition for a referendum before the town took on the amount of debt needed to build a new school. Patton also acknowledged the increase was “probably not” enough, especially if a new high school is in the near future, but “it’s a place to start.”

Joyner said the town has never promised there would be no tax hikes for the buildings, just for operational costs. “That’s all our feasibility study dealt with, is operational cost,” he said.

Alderman John Worley said cuts will happen to go along with the tax increases. “This board’s worked pretty hard in the last four or ive months to reduce expenses,” he said.

The board will meet in a public work session at 9 a.m. Friday to discuss cuts to next year’s budget.

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.

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!

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!

My advice to you... call Memphis Men’s Clinic at 901-443-0480. Tell them Alan sent you and be prepared for one of the biggest and best surprises of your life.

Complaint against alderman dismissed Board cites lack of evidence in ethics case

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

The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen dismissed an ethics complaint against Alderman Tom Allen May 20 due to a lack of evidence.

Before the vote, which was 5-0, the aldermen clariied with attorneys that they could bring the issue back up if more evidence became available.

Mayor Stan Joyner said without corroborating evidence, the complaint was a “he said-he said” situation.

He also chastised Allen for not cooperating in the investigation, although Allen did speak in his own defense May 20.

“I don’t want to send a message that failure or refusal to participate in the investigation is an adequate defense,” Joyner said.

The case centered on whether Allen had instructed a contractor doing work for the town three years ago to take dirt from a construction site and drop it of at a private residence without charge.

The contractor, Steve Madden, was also a parks advisory board member, and Allen had accused him of an ethics violation for bidding on parks projects.

It was during Madden’s defense in a hearing last month that he made a remark about an unspeciied

alderman instructing him to deliver dirt to a residence free of charge.

That prompted a second investigation, which according to the report from attorneys, led Tom Allen to Allen.

The May 20 hearing featured several heated back-and-forth comments between Allen and the board, especially Joyner, as Allen put of giving a direct answer on whether he was guilty of the violation and tried to show a political motivation for the accusation.

Allen brought up a complaint Town Administrator James Lewellen iled against Alderman Billy Patton during election season for using the town seal on election literature.

The complaint was dismissed, but Allen said it was proof the rest of the board was seeking to thwart both his and Patton’s re-election campaigns.

“I’m waiting to hear the facts,” Joyner said. “Not a history lesson on how you’ve been mistreated over the years.”

Allen said he took offense to being “rudely interrupted” before eventually stating for the record, “I don’t know who Mr. Madden’s talking about. I have no idea.”

Allen also said he handles several complaints from residents every day, adding, “they have drug problems; they need dirt.”

In addition to trying to prove a political motivation from the rest of the board, Allen said the con-

tractors were upset with him not just for the ethics complaint he had iled against Madden, but for a meeting at a Burger King when Allen had questioned change orders on several other projects the company had handled over the years.

Patton said he was concerned retaliation was a factor in the case, as Madden had admitted he brought it up during his own defense to get “somebody to back of.”

Attorney Jim Newsom, an outside counsel brought in for the investigation, said Madden had the backing of his partner, John Phillips, but neither could provide an address where the dirt ended up or the name of a driver who remembered delivering it.

The dirt was valued at $70 to $90.

Newsom said Allen did not participate in the investigation, saying only that it was “political” and a “witch hunt.”

Alderman Stan Worley told Allen he owed an apology to everyone he claimed was out to get him.

“Each one of them could sue you for defamation of character,” he said.

Allen said after the hearing he was satisied the complaint was dismissed, but maintained it was politically motivated.

When asked if he would be able to continue working with the other board members after this, Allen responded, “Sure I am. I always want to move on.”

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE EXTRACURRICULAR RICHNESS CHRISTIAN FAITH TAKEN SERIOUSLY

MS Girls Track Wins League Championship The Shelby League Track Championships started with ield events on Thursday at MUS. The following girls placed in ield events: Entering the running inals on Friday with a 2 point lead over Briarcrest, the girls put seeds in their pockets and wrote FAITH on their arms, reminding them of Matthew 17:20. Inspired by the 800m world record holder, Chanelle Price as well as Eric Liddell, they were encouraged to offer their races as acts of praise, trusting in God instead of themselves, and carrying His Truth with them throughout their races. When the girls were asked “Do you got it?” they would reply, “No, I don’t, but God does, and my faith is in Him.” The exciting competition started with Reagan Shackelford breaking her state record in the hurdles with a time of 16.66, placing 1st. Next, our 4x100 team of Hannah Rendall, Reagan Shackleford, Gabby Genereaux,and Catelyn Somogyi broke their PR with a time of 53.69 and won. Following these victories, our mile girls raced with Gracie Gibson placing a very close 2nd and Sarah Yak taking 21 seconds off her PR with a time of 6:11. Holly Huffman and Catelyn Somogyi sprinted the fast 100m next, inishing 2nd and 3rd with times of 14.43 and 14.48, respectively, both breaking their PR’s. Next, our 4x200 team of Ashland Kimler, Kendall Taylor, Cati Shorten, and Ava Newhouse broke their PR, running a 1:58 and winning the event. The dreaded 400m sprint followed with Holly Huffman breaking her PR at 61.78 and Lesley Coleman also breaking her PR at 64.37, placing 2nd and 4th. The grueling 800 was run next by Gracie Gibson and Hailey Rogers who placed 2nd and 4th out of 19 runners. Somogyi and Huffman went to the starting line once again for the fast 200 sprint. They both broke their PR’s, placing 2nd and 3rd with times of 28.05 and 28.32.

Chuck Smith, Middle School Principal, commented, “What is absolutely amazing is that our First Place score was 71 points higher than 2nd place Briarcrest. In fact, our total winning score was higher than the combined scores of the 2nd and 3rd place teams...I was there for the whole meet and it was perhaps the greatest MS sports event I have ever witnessed – literally David vs. Goliath – with both our Girls winning and our Boys barely missing out by coming in 2nd to MUS by about six points. A great 2-day Meet and PROUD TO BE AN EAGLE!”

ECS Go Choir was invited to sing for the families attending the Fallen Heroes Memorial Service at Memorial Park. What a great blessing for students to learn irst-hand the sacriices made for the safety of our community.

The annual Fallen Heroes Memorial Service was about honoring the fallen oficers, ireighters and irst responders. But it was also boosting the morale of those still standing who are increasingly being scrutinized by the public.

“We need to do everything we can to respect the names of the individuals that are up on this wall, who died honorably to protect us.”

The ceremony, in its 10th year at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery, honored those from 20 Mid-South agencies and departments. More than 200 attended the outdoor service.

egan Cheng, wearing a sash full of badges, sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on Saturday at Memphis National Cemetery as thousands honored those who died in military service.

Afterward, the 15-year-old member of the American Heritage Girls Scouting program placed a flag at the northern side of the gravesite of Louis R. Gallegos, a first sergeant of the U.S. Marine Corps, who was a veteran of World War II and Korea.

“I think this day should be somber,” she said.

The 32nd Memorial Day ceremony at the cemetery drew 4,150 Scouts who marked the gravesites with flags, said Buddy Crenshaw, 77, who founded the event in 1983. He said 175 Scouts attended the first event.

A boy who was working on a project to earn the rank of Eagle Scout prompted that initial event. He wanted to put flags on all graves in the 44-acre cemetery.

At Saturday’s ceremony, Barbara Simmons of the Memphis Vocal Arts group sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” as wreaths were placed at an unknown soldier marker and at a flagpole. The Wolf River Pipes and Drum band played “Amazing Grace.”

Guam, Okinawa, Korea and Khe Sanh, Saigon, Vietnam know me. I was there.”

Saturday’s ceremony was dedicated to Hugh Wardlaw Jr., who died last May in Memphis at 96.

Born in McComb, Miss., Wardlaw joined the Mississippi National Guard during World War II and served in the Army’s 31st Infantry “Dixie” Division.

He was stationed in northern Africa and then assigned as a company commander at the Anzio beachhead in Italy.

“He was at Rome, Arno, Southern France, Naples, Rhineland and Central Europe,” Brown said.

His awards include the Silver Star, Bronze Star with an oak leaf cluster, Combat Infantry Medal, Purple Heart and French Legion of Honor.

Crenshaw said the ceremony aims to remind people of all ages about the sacrifice of those who served in the military.

“Those graves are out there to represent why they are free and have the freedom they have today, because folks gave up their lives to protect the United States and make it a free nation,” Crenshaw said. “That’s what we are trying to instill in them. Those folks lost their lives to protect the freedom of the United States.”

St. George’s wins behind Green’s three-hitter Gryphons defeat Franklin Road Academy to win school’s first state baseball championship

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

MURFREESBORO — The St. George’s coaches tried. But there was no way they were going to get Connor Green of the mound last Thursday. Especially with a state championship on the line.

Green, who will play at Ole Miss next season, pitched a gutty three-hitter to give the Gryphons a 5-4 victory over Franklin Road Academy in the Division 2-A state championship game.

The victory gives St. George’s a 29-13 record and — more importantly — the irst baseball championship in school history.

“We started the season at a tournament in Orange Beach, and I think we were something like 1-6,” said senior Stephen East, who had an RBI double in the inale. “No one thought we’d be here. Nobody believed, but we overcame.”

The Gryphons could have wrapped things up earlier after entering last Thursday’s play undefeated in the double-elimination tournament. But FRA won the irst game 8-2, forcing an “if necessary” game.

It was an emotional performance for the Panthers, who were without head coach George Weicker.

Weicker is undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

But with the season on the line, St. George’s came back with Green, who pitched a three-hit, 11-strikeout complete-game gem against ECS on May 19.

Only one of FRA’s four runs was earned and Green walked one and struck out nine.

“Honestly, I never felt tired,” Green said. “They tried after a couple of innings (to take him out), but there was no way I was going to come out. My arm felt good, and as long as it felt good, I was going to stay out there.

“And when you have a team that can hit the way we do, and doesn’t make any errors, that makes it easy to pitch.”

St. George’s loaded the bases in the bottom of the irst on a pair of walks and a hit batter before cleanup hitter Davis Baty doubled in a pair of runs.

Green, who also started on St. George’s state championship basketball team this year, helped his cause with a sacriice ly in the fourth in the third inning that made it 4-2 before East brought home another run in the fourth.

East had two of the Gryphons’ seven hits and said it wasn’t really too diicult for his team to pick itself up following the earlier loss.

“One of our captains, Curt Bennett, told us to just remember all the work we did during the preseason, how hard we had worked all year,” East said. “We just really came together.”

CBHS takes its 12th baseball championship Brothers turn back Briarcrest in Div. 2-AA finale

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

MURFREESBORO — There were 21 players in the dugout for the Christian Brothers baseball team last Thursday. But 22 took part in the victory celebration.

The Brothers won the 12th baseball championship in school history, getting a terrific start from Tyler Walton and enough ofense to defeat Briarcrest 3-2.

“No championship is more special than another,” said Brothers coach Buster Kelso. “But after what these boys have been through this year, I’m just awfully, awfully proud.”

Kelso was referring to the Feb. 14 accident that claimed the life of Brothers senior Colin Kilgore and lacrosse player Christophe Kesterson. The team dedicated its season to Kilgore, and like they had done all season long, made sure he was remembered after the game.

Star catcher Walker Grisanti held Kilgore’s No. 15 jersey aloft while the old Blue Magic song “Hooked on a Feeling” — Kilgore’s walk-up song — played over the PA system at Reese Smith Field.

Kilgore’s mother, Anna, was presented with her son’s championship medal.

“Everything we did was for Colin,” said senior James Muse, who was to have joined Kilgore at the University of Memphis next spring. “The way we practiced, played, everything we did was for him.

We wanted to win this for Colin and Christophe.”

CBHS entered last Thursday’s play undefeated in the doubleelimination tournament but was forced into an “if necessary” game after losing to the Saints 8-7 earlier in the day. That was a sloppy game, with the teams combining for eight errors. But the Brothers had been in that position before and knew what to do to set things right.

“Same (situation) as in 2013 when we won,” said Muse. “I just told them to lush that one. That one’s over.”

JIM WEBER / THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Briarcrest’s Ben Ellis scores after knocking the ball loose from CBHS catcher Walker Grisanti during their state D2-AA championship matchup in Murfreesboro last Thursday.

Walton went the distance, scattering seven hits and striking out ive. The victory improves his sea-

son record to 10-1, with the only loss coming against a strong Houston team that competed for the AAA

championship last week.

Walton’s only real mistake came in the irst inning, when Briarcrest

leadof batter Hunter Hill homered to left to give his team a quick 1-0 lead.

“I was thinking, what if it could just end 1-0,” laughed Saints coach Brian Stewart, whose team was competing in the championship game for the irst time.

“But we had two onerun games with them and I think if you saw them you’d say they were two of the best games you’ve ever seen. They’re a program with such a storied tradition and now we know what it takes to compete with a team like that.”

Walton settled down nicely and allowed just another run in the third against the hot-hitting Saints, who, Kelso called “the most dangerous team in the tournament.” He got all the ofensive support he’d need when CBHS pushed across three runs in the top of the third inning.

Walker Grisanti and Muse had run-scoring doubles and Landon Kelly — who made a highlightreel running catch in left in the sixth — had an RBIsingle.

“I’m sure Colin was watching,” Muse said. “We did it for him.”

MURFREESBORO — Montgomery Bell Academy won the Division 2-AA soccer championship, scoring all of its goals in the second half to defeat Christian Brothers 3-0 in last Thursday’s title match at the Siegel soccer complex.

A nd rew Conwel l opened the scoring in the 50th minute and Ellis Moore got the second 24 minutes later. The Brothers’ frustrating day was capped in the 77th minute when Peter Kinsella was red-carded for his foul in the box and Davis Luster converted the ensuing penalty.

The Brothers were at-

tempting to win their state-leading 10th championship.

CBHS defeated Chattanooga Baylor, 2-1, in the semiinals. Cole Cannon crossed for Chris DiPietro to score in the irst half and scored himself in the second.

Just getting to the state tournament was an adventure for the team.

The CBHS bus broke down, on the drive from Memphis, leaving the team stranded for a couple of hours in the town of Hurricane Mills. Once the Brothers got going again, they encountered a highway that was closed for paving. The team didn’t check in to its hotel until the wee hours of the morning.

MUS seniors claim third doubles title

SPRING FLING/TENNIS

THREE IN A ROW

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappea`l.com 901-529-2350

MURFREESBORO — Spencer Richey’s game plan was to take one for the team. Instead, he ending up helping Memphis University School take an impressive championship.

The Owls won the Division 2-AA state championship for the third consecutive year last Wednesday at Old Fort Tennis Center, sweeping aside Chattanooga Baylor 4-0. MUS now has 16 team championships, breaking a tie with Baylor for the most in state history.

And it was Richey who delivered the victory.

Playing on a bad ankle he injured playing pick-up basketball, Richey’s goal at No. 1 singles was to take as much time as possible in order to give his healthier teammates a chance to clinch the match. But the competitive juices were too much and he clinched it himself, beating Chad Woodham 7-6 (7-0), 6-2.

MUS boys tennis team is champion again behind gutsy Richey “It’s about 50 percent,” said Richey, who is headed to Alabama.

“It’s hurting pretty bad right now.

I’ve only in been in therapy for about a week and a half.

“The goal was for me to stay out there as long as possible, but I was playing well so why not inish it myself?”

Richey is part of a talented corps that has made the Owls the dominant program in the state over the last few seasons.

“This one feels diferent,” said Apple, who along with Christian Schneiter and Paul LaHue form the senior class. “We’ve been together now really since the seventh grade.

“And this was the hardest inal

we’ve had. Every match was really close and they really pushed us.

They’re a nice team to beat.”

LaHue and Frederick Danielson also got singles victories for the Owls.

In D2-AA girls, Hutchison got in an early hole after dropping the doubles point and couldn’t recover, losing to Baylor 4-1. Francie Goorad’s 6-2, 6-3 victory over Landie McBrayer at No. 6 gave the Sting its only point.

“We played them the irst match of the year and they really dictated (things) to us,” said coach Phil Chamberlain. “We’ve improved. ... We haven’t lost against Memphis teams for 10 years now and we have a lot to build on.”

St. Mary’s took an undefeated record into the D2-A girls inal against Knoxville Webb but never could get going, falling 4-1. Caroline Culpepper got the point with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Caroline Ross at No. 4.

“We did have high expectations, but they played really well and we didn’t,” said coach Dan Singer.

MURFREESBORO — Spencer Richey and Michael Apple have been winning championships together for a long time, dating back to when they captured the egg-toss title in the irstgrade division at Presbyterian Day School ield day.

And they added one inal one to their collection last Friday.

The MUS seniors — who will play at Alabama and Middle Tennessee State, respectively — won their third straight Division 2-AA doubles championship, battling past Chattanooga Baylor’s Jack Gray and Chad Woodham 6-4, 6-7 (11-13), 6-3 on the inal day of competition at Old Fort Tennis Center.

Richey and Apple are the third doubles team in school history to win three straight titles, but Friday’s slugfest of a inal just might have topped them all.

“In 39 years, I think this was the single best doubles match I’ve ever seen,” said Owls coach Bill Taylor.

“There were four very highlevel players out there.”

Richey and Apple pushed past whatever disappointment they might have had in dropping the second set thanks to the familiarity that goes with having played together since they were 10.

“This (title) feels a lot better,” said Apple. “It was our toughest match, but a tough match just makes (winning) better. We just tried to stay energized.”

Added Richey, “We knew we had to make them play.

They pushed us really hard and it was pretty dramatic.”

Another veteran tandem also inished with a title in D2-A girls.

Carmen Saab and Mary Jane McCaghren of St. Mary’s, who have been state regulars since their eighth-grade year, defeated Knoxville Webb’s Diana Grandas and Anna Wisniewski 6-4, 7-5.

It’s their second state championship, matching the one they won as freshmen in 2012. They inished runner-up last year, losing 7-6 in the deciding set.

“We’ve been fighting for this,” said McCaghren, who will play at Sewanee.

“We had a tough loss last year, but we were able to pull it together.”

Kenya Jones and Mallissa Sirimoungkhons haven’t been playing together quite as long, but they got the job done. The White Station team captured the AAA championship 6-0, 7-6 (6-3) over Julia Adams and Brittany Foust of Knoxville Bearden.

Jones, a former Best of the Preps player of the year and a past state singles champion, said she concentrated on doubles this year to ine-tune her game for college. And Sirimoungkhons, a senior, was happy to have her.

“I would just like to thank Kenya for putting up with me,” she laughed.

“She’s just so good and she’s been so helpful. This is my senior year. ... I’m just really happy.”

The only local athlete in singles competition was St. George’s Claire Sullivan.

She beat Francesca Eluhu of USN, 6-0, 6-4 to win the title.

URFREESBORO — When Whitehaven sophomore Kiara Rhodes left her hotel last Thursday morning on her way to the Class AAA girls track and ield state meet at Middle Tennessee State University, it was a brisk 54 degrees.

“I came out with my sandals on like, ‘Yeah, I’m ready for today.’ I had to turn back around and ind some other shoes,” Rhodes said, laughing.

Though it had to withstand some unusually chilly conditions, Whitehaven lit the track on ire in the AAA meet, winning its irst girls track and ield team state title since 1998 behind strong performances from Rhodes, senior sprinter Maia McCoy and senior hurdler Taejah Robertson.

After winning the Class AAA pentathlon earlier last week, Rhodes, a sophomore, won the 100 hurdles in 14.16, placed third in the 300 hurdles and helped Whitehaven’s 800 and 1,600 relay teams to a pair of gold-medal inishes in 1:42.12 and 3:55.58.

Robertson made it a 1-2 inish for Whitehaven in the 100 hurdles, was runner-up in the 300 hurdles and ran on the Tigers’ state-champion relay teams.

had just one state-meet qualiier in McCoy. Since then, he’s built the program into a powerhouse, with 12 girls competing this year in 15 events after inishing Class

AAA state runner-up to Clarksville Northeast last season with 55 points.

Last Thursday, Whitehaven scored 84 points in the AAA

team competition — 14.5 more than runner-up Brentwood.

“It feels good because my 10th-grade year I came (to state) by myself. I was the only state qualiier. I won the 100 and the 200 and I said in my interview, ‘I want to bring my relay team (to state),’ ” said McCoy, who wrapped up one of the most decorated careers in Shelby-Metro track and ield history. “(Two years) later we’ve won the 4x2 and 4x4 two years in a row now. I wanted to win the 100 and 200 three years in a row, but I came up short (last Thursday) in the 100. I’m most proud that I’ve got all my girls with me and that I’ve made my coaches proud, because without them I probably wouldn’t be running track.”

It was Sharif who convinced McCoy, who’s also a basketball standout, to give track a try in the ninth grade. Then he built a program around her.

“Maia really was the nucleus,” Sharif said. “She motivated a lot

of other people to come out for track. She was the catalyst of it all. And our coaching staf is amazing. I’ve gotta give a shoutout to them.”

Houston, led by its AAA statechampion 3,200 relay team (9:26.82), inished fourth in Class AAA with 41 points; Southwind inished ifth with 36 points.

Nashville Ensworth won the Division 2 meet with 125.5 points, edging Nashville Harpeth Hall (124). Briarcrest Christian was fourth with 64 points, with Saints junior Alyssa Neuberger taking the D-2 300 hurdles (46.68).

Other Memphis-area winners included Bolton junior Dionna Warner, who won the AAA high jump (5-2). Arlington senior Celine Rone won the AAA 800 (2:16.35), Mitchell junior Dominique Chatman won the A-AA 400 (56.47) for the second straight year, and Germantown junior Allie Hughes won the AAA pole vault (11-0).

Central High boys earn 10th track and field state crown Kristopher Butler wins 300-hurdles

BOYS TRACK WINNERS Shelby-Metro winners at TSSAA boys state track meet: CLASS AAA

M

URFREESBORO — As Central’s 1,600 relay team came around the inal corner, legendary former longtime Warriors track and ield coach John Roberts clapped his large hands and let out a roar.

Now 70, Roberts isn’t getting around as easily as he once did. “I don’t have a pulse or feeling in my lower legs from the knee down,” he said.

But he was on his feet Friday night at Middle Tennessee State University as the Warriors won their irst boys track and ield state title since 1999.

“I’m loving it. This is the most I’ve been on my feet in ive days,” Roberts said.

“I’m just proud of (irst-year Central track and ield coach) Rashad (Haynes) and these kids.

People don’t understand what they go through to get to this point, and can’t but one hoist the trophy.”

Haynes, who ran for Roberts at Central from 1993 to ’94, guided the Warriors to their 10th boys track and ield team state title.

Only Division 2 Brentwood Academy, which earned its state-record 20th boys team title Friday, has won more.

Central did it by winning just two events — the 800 relay (1:28.32) and the 300 hurdles (39.02) — and putting together solid performances in eight other

Jacob Patten (Southwind) — high jump (6-10) Malik Talley (Cordova) — 110 hurdles (14.50) Terry Wright (White Station) — 100 (10.62) Kristopher Butler (Central) — 300 hurdles (39.02) Central — meet winner (61 points), 800 relay (1:28.32) Melrose — 400 relay (42.20) CLASS A-AA

Jaylon Moore (Mitchell) — 110 hurdles (15.01) DIVISION 2

William Douglas (CBHS) — high jump (6-4) Carlton Orange (MUS) — 400 (48.07) Calvin Austin III (Harding) — 200 (21.91) MUS — 3,200 relay (8:04.61)

events for a Class AAA meet-winning 61 points.

“It means a whole lot, (including) bringing back tradition to the program,” Haynes said. “The foundation was put in by coach Roberts, and when the opportunity arose for me to come (to Central), I took it and implemented everything that he taught me and just tried to get the guys to buy in the irst year. The success and the results came out on the track.”

Central came out of Friday morning’s ield events ifth in the AAA standings with 17 points after Haynes’ son, Rashad Haynes Jr., inished second in the long jump, senior Deountario Brown placed fourth in the decathlon and the Warriors got seventh-

place inishes in the shot put and discus.

Central overtook Hardin Valley for irst midway through the running inals, racking up 21 points on senior Kristopher Butler’s third place in the 110 hurdles, freshman Armond Poindexter’s fourth place in the 400 and its victory in the 800 relay.

Butler put the title away for Central by winning the 300 hurdles in 39.02, earning the Warriors 10 points to stretch their lead over Hardin Valley to 18 points. The Warriors capped the night with a runner-up inish in the 1,600 relay.

“It makes it all the more special (that Roberts attended), and even better that I get to coach my own son,” Haynes said. “It’s tradition and a family thing.”

Although Central had the night’s top overall performance from Memphis-area teams, there were several individual standouts.

Southwind senior Jacob Patten successfully defended his Class AAA high jump state title with a leap of 6 feet, 10 inches. Patten, who jumped 7-0 at sectionals this month, had an eye on tying former White Station high jumper Eric Draper’s state record of 7-2.

But his heel clipped the bar as he came down on his third attempt at 7-0.

“I was trying to get the record.

(Draper) did it in 1996 and I was born in 1996. So I was like, ‘It’s a sign,’ ” Patten said. “I felt like I had (7-0) when I got to the pit, but when I came down, my heart broke. I could’ve got it.”

Other Memphis-area winners included Cordova senior Malik Talley, who won the AAA 110 hurdles (14.50). White Station senior Terry Wright won the AAA 100 (10.62), and Mitchell senior Jaylon Moore won the A-AA 110 hurdles (15.01).

Christian Brothers sophomore William Douglas captured the state championship in the Division 2 high jump at Spring Fling in Murfreesboro on Friday.

Douglas’ winning leap was 6-4.

Central’s Vincient Williams competes in the AAA shot put Friday. Williams was seventh with a throw of 51-5.75. His eforts helped the Warriors win the state title for the 10th time in school history.

Carlton Orange won the 400 (48.07) and Harding sophomore Calvin Austin III edged Nashville Ensworth’s Darius Morehead by three-thousandths of a second to win the D2 200 (21.902). Morehead inished in 21.905.

Mitchell finished fourth in

A-AA with 40 points. Nashville Pearl-Cohn won the A-AA meet with 96.

Brentwood Academy won the Division 2 meet with 151 points.

Memphis University School (62 points) was the area’s highest Division 2 inisher (ifth).

Environment NATIONAL CRISIS

Saving the bees The nation’s bees are dying off in droves, but what can be done to prevent an environmental catastrophe?

DOUG KAPUSTIN/THE WASHINGTON POST

Sam Droege, a U.S. Geological Survey wildlife biologist and one of the country’s foremost experts on native bee identification, works to identify and catalog bees from his home in Upper Marlboro, Md. resident Obama’s interest in bees has reverberated across the federal government and will shape U.S. policy for years to come

Obama plans nationwide protection initiative

Big losses for beekeepers A federal survey finds that beekeepers in the U.S. have lost more than 40 percent of honeybee colonies since April 2014.

Survey: More than 40 percent of hives died in past year

No data

By Seth Borenstein AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration hopes to save the bees by feeding them better.

A new federal plan aims to reverse America’s declining honeybee and monarch butterly populations by making millions of acres of federal land more bee-friendly, spending millions of dollars more on research and considering the use of fewer pesticides.

While putting diferent type of landscapes along highways, federal housing projects and elsewhere may not sound like much in terms of action, several bee scientists told The Associated Press that this a huge move. They say it may help pollinators that are starving because so much of the American landscape has been converted to lawns and corn that don’t provide foraging areas for bees.

“This is the irst time I’ve seen addressed the issue that there’s nothing for pollinators to eat,” said University of Illinois entomologist May Berenbaum, who buttonholed President Barack Obama about bees when she received her National Medal of Science award last November. “I think it’s brilliant.”

Environmental activists who wanted a ban on a much-criticized class of pesticide said the Obama administration’s bee strategy falls way short of what’s needed to save the hives.

Scientists say bees — crucial to pollinate many crops — have been hurt by a combination of declining nutrition, mites, disease, and pesticides. The federal plan is an “all hands on deck” strategy that calls on everyone from federal bureaucrats to citizens to do what they can to save bees, which provide more than $15 billion in value to the U.S. economy, according to White House science adviser John Holdren.

“Pollinators are struggling,” Holdren said in a blog post, citing a new federal survey that found beekeepers lost more than 40 percent of their colonies last year, although they later recovered by dividing surviving hives. He also said the number of monarch butterlies that spend the winter in Mexico’s forests is down by 90 percent or more over the past two decades, so the U.S. government is working with Mexico to expand monarch habitat in the southern part of that country.

The plan calls for restoring 7 million acres of bee habitat in the next ive years. Numerous federal agencies will have to ind ways to grow plants on federal lands that are more varied and better for bees to eat because scientists have worried that large land tracts that grow only one crop have hurt bee nutrition.

The plan is not just for the Department of Interior, which has vast areas of land under its control.

Agencies that wouldn’t normally be thought of, such as Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Transportation, will have to include

bee-friendly landscaping on their properties and in grant-making.

That part of the bee plan got praise from scientists who study bees.

“Here, we can do a lot for bees, and other pollinators,” University of Maryland entomology professor Dennis van Englesdorp, who led the federal bee study that found last year’s large loss. “This I think is something to get excited and hopeful about. There is really only one hope for bees and it’s to make sure they spend a good part of the year in safe healthy environments. The apparent scarcity of these areas is what’s worrying. This could change that.”

Berenbaum said what’s impressive is that the plan doesn’t lay the problem or the solution just on agriculture or the federal government: “We all got into this mess and we’re going to have to work together to get out of it,” she said.

The administration proposes spending $82.5 million on honeybee research in the upcoming budget year, up $34 million from now.

The Environmental Protection Agency will step up studies into the safety of widely used neonicotinoid pesticides, which have been temporarily banned in Europe. It will not approve new types of uses of the pesticides until more study is done, if then, the report said.

“They are not taking bold enough action; there’s a recognition that there is a crisis,” said Lori Ann Burd, environmental health director for the advocacy group Center for Biological Diversity. She said the bees cannot wait, comparing more studies on neonicotinoids to going to a second and third mechanic when you’ve been told the brakes are shot.

“Four million Americans have called on the Obama administration to listen to the clear science demanding that immediate action be taken to suspend systemic bee-killing pesticides, including seed treatments,” Friends of the Earth food program director Lisa Archer said in statement. “Failure to address this growing crisis with a uniied and meaningful federal plan will put these essential pollinators and our food supply in jeopardy.”

But CropLife America, which represents the makers of pesticides, praised the report for its “multipronged coordinated approach.”

The report talks of a ine line between the need for pesticides to help agriculture and the harm they can do to bees and other pollinators.

Lessening “the efects of pesticides on bees is a priority for the federal government, as both bee pollination and insect control are essential to the success of agriculture,” the report said.

More than two out of ive American honeybee colonies died in the past year, and surprisingly the worst die-of was in the summer, according to a federal survey.

Since April 2014, beekeepers lost 42.1 percent of their colonies, the second highest loss rate in nine years, according to an annual survey conducted by a bee partnership that includes the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“What we’re seeing with this bee problem is just a loud signal that there’s some bad things happening with our agro-ecosystems,” said study co-author Keith Delaplane at the University of Georgia. “We just happen to notice it with the honeybee because they are so easy to count.”

But it’s not quite as dire as it sounds. That’s because after a colony dies, beekeepers then split their surviving colonies, start new ones, and the numbers go back up again, said Delaplane and study co-author Dennis vanEngelsdorp of the University of Maryland.

What shocked the entomologists is that is the irst time they’ve noticed bees dying more in the summer than the winter, said vanEngelsdorp said. The survey found beekeepers lost 27.4 percent of their colonies this summer. That’s up from 19.8 percent the previous summer.

Seeing massive colony losses in summer is like seeing “a higher rate of lu deaths in the summer than winter,” vanEngelsdorp said. “You just don’t expect colonies to die at this rate in the summer.”

Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Maine and Wisconsin all saw more than 60 percent of their hives die since April 2014, according to the survey.

“Most of the major commercial beekeepers get a dark panicked look in their eyes when they discuss these losses and what it means to their businesses,” said Pennsylvania State University entomology professor Diana Cox-Foster.

Delaplane and vanEngelsdorp said a combination of mites, poor nutrition and pesticides are to blame for the bee deaths. USDA bee scientist Jef Pettis said last summer’s large die-of included unusual queen loss and seemed worse in colonies that moved more.

Dick Rogers, chief beekeeper for pesticidemaker Bayer, said the loss igure is “not unusual at all” and said the survey shows an end result of more colonies now than before: 2.74 million hives in 2015, up from 2.64 million in 2014.

That doesn’t mean bee health is improving or stable, vanEngelsdorp said. After they lose colonies, beekeepers are splitting their surviving hives to recover their losses, pushing the bees to their limits, Delaplane said.

During the planning, there were discussions about whether the bridge should be painted red as before or left natural, which is the way most are in Japan.

“Because it is such a Memphis landmark, we decided to keep it red as it was,” said Esthus, adding that the design has been slightly modiied for safety issues.

Originally, the bridge at the botanic garden was unpainted.

But it didn’t take long before visitors to the Japanese Garden, which was unfenced and free to all then, began carving it with initials and other graiti. A heavy coat of red paint seemed to make the damage less visible and the bridge more noticeable. . Arched bridges like the one at the botanic garden are called “drum” or “moon” bridges because of the circle formed when the actual structure meets its relection in the water below.

“Relections are very important in Japanese Garden design,” Esthus said.

Another bridge in the Japanese Garden, the zigzag bridge, is closed to foot traic because it is in need of major repairs as well.

A favorite for energetic children, the bridge has at least two meanings: The crooked path reminds walkers to be mindful of the moment because if their minds stray too far, they could end up falling in the water.

A diferent legend records how walking across the bridge sends evil spirits that follow into the water because they travel only in straight lines.

The botanic garden is raising funds for Japanese Garden improvements by selling pieces of the old bridge: A small section of the red railing mounted on a piece of the walkway is $250; a crosscut of the railing is $50. For more information, call Mary Helen Butler at 901-636-4116.

“We’re hoping the new bridge will be a catalyst for reinvigorating the entire Japanese Garden,” Esthus said.

‘FUSION CUISINE’

GRILLED PIEROGIES AND KIELBASA Serves 4.

INGREDIENTS

Poland’s diverse flavors reflect country’s tumultuous history

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

alk to three people, and you can hear three diferent things about Polish cuisine, but what they have in common is that they love their ancestral food. Let’s learn a little about it, as Poland is this year’s Memphis in May honored country.

T

Polish chef and television personality — he hosts “Top Chef” in Poland — Grzegorz Lapanowski sees Polish food as exciting, and on the cusp of a culinary awakening.

“It’s a fusion cuisine,” the young, Jamie Oliveresque chef said earlier this month when he was in town to cook for the Memphis in May dinner at The Peabody. “The food shows the history of the country, and we have had a lot of wars, loads of wars. They come to our country, and they cook their food.”

Soon he’ll travel to Italy to make a presentation about the relationship be-

tween Polish and Italian food, widely credited to Queen Bona Sforza’s marriage to King Sigismund in 1518 and the subsequent Italian cooks brought to court.

Chef Grzegorz Kazubski, who was in town to compete at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, thinks of his food more simply.

“You can sure say we are a potatoes-loving country,” he said.

And soup.

“We have soups like crazy, too,” said Lapanowski.

“Beautiful soups. We love soup.”

For Lori Filipczak, who lives in Atoka, it’s comfort food.

“My mom and dad both went to Polish Catholic schools, and both sets of my grandparents were from Poland,” she said.

A few years ago, she was delighted to ind paczki, a illed doughnut, in a local grocery around Mardi Gras.

“Like you have king cake in the South, we have paczki in the North,” said Filipczak, who is originally from Michigan and also likes a sweet treat of fried dough she calls angel wings, oicially called kruschicki.

Poland, which shares a border with seven coun-

tries and is bound by the Baltic Sea to the north, has been battered from many fronts over the years. On Sept. 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland; two days later, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, and World War II oficially started in Europe.

After the war, the country was taken over by the Soviet Union and remained so until 1989. During the war, close to 6 million Poles died under German occupation, from resistance, genocide, illness and starvation.

“The heart of our nation was destroyed. It’s been very problematic for us, because we are in between Russia and Germany,” said Lapanowski. “We need to ight a lot.”

He makes the argument that being under Soviet rule, when everything was uniied, down to the food available (or not; the 31-year-old remembers the long lines for food when he was a boy), Poland lost a great deal of its culinary identity.

“The Soviet system really changed our country dramatically,” he said.

“There is nothing like a national cuisine because

of the concept to unify everything.”

Still, there are trends and foods known throughout the country.

“Well, for sure, the Polish people are not beef eaters,” Kazubski said.

“We eat a lot of pork. We eat less than 2 kilograms of beef per person every year and 68 kilograms of pork per person, and maybe 45 or 46 chicken.”

Everyone loves pierogies.

And while the Baltic Sea is right there, Lapanowski said that like many bodies of water, it’s overished.

Kazubski agrees that Polish people don’t eat much ish, but he ofers another reason: “It’s not very clean water. Just as a general population, we are not big ish eaters. If we eat it, it’s usually freshwater.”

But there’s that pork, and with pork come ham and sausage, two very popular foods in Poland.

“I found Polish ham at the commissary (at the naval base in Millington) and was so excited,” Filipczak said. “It’s lunch meat, but it tastes diferent from other ham; it has diferent seasoning.”

Sausages are quite

popular, especially kielbasa (which is also a Polish word for sausage).

“When I think of kielbasa, I think of something in a fresh casing, sort of like Italian sausage, though it doesn’t taste anything like Italian sausage,” Filipczak said.

Ham is the holiday tradition in the Filipczak house, but forget the pineapple rings. She cooks it with Vernor’s ginger ale, a Michigan product (and a nod to our Southern CocaCola ham). It’s served with horseradish.

Sauerkraut — actually, cabbage in general, though sauerkraut is a favorite way to eat it — is also popular.

“We love pickled things,” Kazubski said.

“Sauerkraut is one thing, but we have many pickled things.”

Sandwiches are a favorite item, served on a sourdough bread, Lapanowski said, but Filipczak says that in her family, the main bread is really challah, the Jewish egg bread.

“We have all kinds of things,” Lapanowski said.

“We are a country of 38 million people, a very diverse society.”

1 pound kielbasa, cut into 4 pieces 2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 large white onion, cut into 6 wedges 1 pound frozen potatoand-cheddar pierogies (do not thaw) — Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley DIRECTIONS

1 Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the kielbasa, turning, until marked, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter.

2 Meanwhile, whisk the mustard and vinegar in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth.

3 Toss the onion and pierogies with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until the pierogies thaw and the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Turn the pierogies and onion and continue to grill, covered, until the pierogies are cooked through and the onion is tender, 4 to 6 more minutes. Transfer to the baking sheet or platter.

4 Slice the kielbasa into pieces and add to the bowl with the mustard dressing. Roughly chop the onion and add to the bowl along with the pierogies and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among shallow bowls.

Shakespeare Co., U of M to put on ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in June

By Dan McCleary Special to The Weekly

Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis’ Department of Theatre & Dance, presents a Louisiana bayou-inspired production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream� on the U of M’s Mainstage, running from June 4-21.

The southern-infused production will feature the company’s largest cast in its seven seasons and will explore the expansiveness and technical capabilities of the U of M mainstage.

The team of professional designers consists of current U of M faculty and alumni, and the cast features talented U of M actors interning alongside performers of Actors’ Equity Association.

Directed by TSC’s Stephanie Shine, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream� places Duke Theseus’ court in World War II America and the peaceful though mischievous fairie kingdom in the Spanish-moss strewn bayous of Louisiana. Big band, swing, cajun and creole music will be played live on stage by

the hard-working, busking men of the French Quarter.

Since the 17th century, Shakespeare’s most magical comedy has been one of his most-produced on English-speaking stages.

Likely written around 1595, chronologically joining the script with “Romeo and Juliet,� “Love’s Labor’s Lost� and “The Merchant of Venice,� “A Midsummer Night’s Dream� is unusual when compared to the rest of Shakespeare’s canon. It has no readily identiiable main source. Shakespeare was inspired by the writings of Plutarch, Chaucer, Ovid, as well as folklore, but his magical play of chaos is likely his very own creation. “Our production explores both the collision and the communion of diferent groups of beings,� Shine said. “The worlds within the play are vastly diferent, and yet common ground is forged when all are found in the same mystical forest.�

All tickets are $33 and are on sale now. Thursday night performances are Free Will Kids’ Nights.

Children 17 years and younger admitted free when accompanied by a paying/attending guard-
