On Jan. 10, the Miss Collierville Scholarship Pageant celebrated its 20th anniversary by holding its 2015 Miss Collierville Pageant at the Harrell Theatre. In previous years, Collierville’s pageant has won awards for its productions that could rival some of the musical numbers seen on the stages around town. But the day’s biggest draw was the crowning of Miss Collierville Outstanding Teen and Miss Collierville. Earlier in the day, Cordova’s Christal Williamson won the Miss Collierville Outstanding Teen 2015 title. In the evening, the seats were filled to capacity to watch seven young ladies compete to see who would be Miss Collierville. The winner was 17-yearold Miranda Dyer, a senior at Cordova High School who plans to attend college as an art education major. The night’s competition began with a brief walk

down memory lane to honor past pageant winners with co-hosts Madeline Littrell, Miss Collierville 2007, and Erin Hatley, Miss Collierville and Miss Tennessee 2011. The talent portion of the pageant began with Callie Compton performing on aerial silk ribbons. CaDana Campbell performed a lyrical dance, followed by Mary Beth Weber who did speed art. Madison Butler sang “Feeling Good,” Marissa Campell played a concerto on her clarinet, Miranda Dyer sang a tune, and Nyasha Hill danced. After the fitness/swimwear and evening wear portions of the competition, Dyer was crowned Miss Collierville 2015. In addition to the crown, Dyer took home scholarship money totaling more than $8,400. In all, nearly $26,000 in scholarship money was awarded to the contestants who competed.

Board picks David Klevan for alderman seat Will ill Palazzolo’s vacated position By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

David Klevan is the newest member of the Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The four other board members chose Klevan on Monday night to ill the seat vacated by Mayor Mike Palazzolo last month. He was approved with a 3-1 vote. Klevan, 67, served for the last six years as chairman of the city’s planning commission. In

addition to his previous seven years on the planning commission, he has also served on at least seven other city boards or commissions, as well as three years as chairman of the board of the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce. “I’ve been practicing for 20 years for this,” Klevan said after taking the oath of oice. Klevan said he is sad to leave the planning commission, but is excited to be involved with other areas of city government. “I’ve just always loved volunteering time and service to the community,” he said. “I love my chamber experience and I love

the city commission experiences that I’ve had over the last 20 years.” Alderman John Barzizza, in his irst meeting on the board, was the dissenting vote against Klevan and said after the meeting he was looking for more diversity on the board. Barzizza said he received more than 75 calls and e-mails from residents advocating for another woman to serve on the board. New Alderman Mary Anne Gibson is currently the only woman. The four inalists included two women. Alderman Forrest Owens, who is the liaison to the planning com-

He loved this town and worked as hard as he could to see that it was a great place for people to live.”

mission, called Klevan a man of “impeccable character” and cited his diplomacy as his strength. Klevan was one of four inalists the board interviewed last Friday. Klevan is a 30-year resident of Germantown and is the founder and principal of Memphis-based Corporate Beneit Management Group. The company provides marketing and management experience in the insurance, employee beneits and inancial services industry, according to its website. Klevan said he considered running for oice several years ago but did not want to do so while his children were in school lo-

cally. Since then, he said, he has been entrenched in his company and volunteer work. Klevan and his wife, Arleen, have two grown children and one grandson. Klevan joins a board that is dominated by inexperience, with a new mayor and now three new aldermen. Gibson and Barzizza won their irst elections in November. The remaining two aldermen, Owens and Rocky Janda, have the most experience on the board with two years each. The board also lost its longest-tenured members in Sharon Goldsworthy and John Drinnon, who served 20 years each as mayor and alderman, respectively.

Mr. Lott owned Tull Glass Inc. in Collierville before retiring and selling the business within the last few years. He and his wife, Dot, were married since 1959, according to the city’s website, and they have one son and three grandchildren. Joyner said Mr. Lott’s leadership was key to the town’s completion of projects like Carriage Crossing and Baptist Memorial Hospital-Collierville. “He loved this town and worked as hard as he could to see that it was a great place for people to live,” Joyner said. Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser described Mr. Lott as a quiet man but a storyteller, especially when he and Joyner were together, given their combined long histories in Collierville. “They would know who lives in what house, what kind of glass he put in that house, what renovations they did on that house,” she said. While Mr. Lott was a “man of few words,” Fraser said, “when he had something to say, people would listen.” She said he also spoke often of his family, especially his three grandsons. “He always talked about them and was very proud of them,” Fraser said. Visitation was held Wednesday at Collierville First Baptist Church, where Mr. Lott was on the board of trustees and served as a deacon. Services will be at 2 p.m. today at the church. The town charter calls for the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to select a replacement to serve the remainder of Mr. Lott’s term. His current term runs to 2016. Staf reporter Clay Bailey contributed to this story.

With no hunting allowed at Shelby Farms and no predators, deer are lourishing. John Charles Wilson, Agricenter president, estimates there may be around 550 in the park. In addition to eating crops, deer can run into traic and create hazards for drivers said Wilson, whose truck was damaged by one.

Paradise in peril By Linda A. Moore lmoore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2702

In Shelby Farms, whitetail deer have found nirvana. There’s a lot for them to eat and nothing that eats them. As a result, the 4,500-acre park is overrun with deer and oicials at the Shelby County-owned park say they are searching for a solution to the problem. “There’s no hunting out here and there are no natural predators harming them,” said John Charles Wilson, president of Agricenter International. “They’ve got a great food source, and the population is growing and growing and growing.” Parks across the country have tried everything from sterilization to birth control to relocation programs, but none are really successful, said Laura Morris, executive director of the Shelby Farms Conservancy, which manages the park. That’s why, Morris said, nothing so far has been done about the deer. “We’ve been putting it of as long as we can because there’s not a really great way to address this,” Morris said. “But we’ve looked at a lot of diferent things to see what other parks are doing around the country.” At last count a couple of years ago, there were more than 400 deer. With breeding since then, that number could now easily be 550, said Larry Pickens, park operations manager. The deer are a problem for a number of reasons. They eat crops on the property, foliage in the forest and plants being cultivated for birds

Deer find home, but cause problems at Shelby Farms and other wildlife. They hit or get hit by cars, said Wilson, who had a deer slam into his truck, and do $3,000 worth of damage. And they can present a danger for park users. Recently, an employee taking children on a nature walk turned around to ind that they had discovered and were petting a fawn, Wilson said. They could have been hurt had the mother been nearby, he said. And it wouldn’t be safe for joggers or other park users to run up on a buck deer, he said. Over population can also lead to disease within the herd, said Chuck Yoest, mammal biologist with the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency. The whitetail deer can contract epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), which is spread by biting lies and is fatal, he said. “That’s mother nature’s way of knocking back a population naturally,” Yoest said. The deer typically go to a water source to die and that’s not something anyone wants park visitors to see, Wilson said. Deer overpopulation isn’t unique to Shelby Farms and is typically a problem in urban areas where herds aren’t controlled through hunting, Yoest said. Regulated hunting is allowed in Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park in wildlife management

areas that are far removed from trails and roads, said James Wilkinson, park manager. “We’re not overpopulated with deer,” Wilkinson said. But there were too many deer a few years ago at Radnor State Park in Nashville, Yoest said, where there was also an EHD outbreak. Across the country, some communities have tried sterilization, which is cumbersome and expensive, Pickens said. It involves tranquilizing the deer, transporting it and putting it under anesthesia for the procedure, which can cost several hundred dollars per deer, he said. Also, because the park isn’t fenced, a sterilized deer could easily leave the area and be replaced by a fertile one. “It’s not very successful in areas where deer are not contained, and they’re not contained in any way in the park because they wander up and down the Wolf River corridor, all the way from the Mississippi River, all the way out to Fayette County and beyond,” Morris said. Controlled bow hunting is another option. “We would be very cautious about permitting anything like that. We don’t think it’s appropriate for a public park,” she said. Or the herd could be culled by trained professional sharpshooters who kill the deer and donate the meat to food banks or organizations like Hunters for the Hungry, Yoest said. “Hunting is the best means of controlling wildlife populations, and it would be counterproductive to oppose hunting but then get upset with the deer for being overpopulated,” he said.

Shelby Farms supporters are hoping a push to raise $100,000 in less than three weeks will result in the inal $1 million for the Heart of the Park program. Backers are closing in on the $70 million goal to complete the renovations. If they can raise $100,000 by Jan. 31, an anonymous supporter has promised to donate the inal $1 million. The campaign has relied on large donations thus far, but the public has asked about participating. “Until now, there hasn’t been a way for our regular park users and friends to be able to participate in a smaller way,” Morris said. “We’re not saying we wouldn’t accept larger gifts, but you can give a dollar, $5, $100 or you can give the full $100,000. It allows a way for everybody to be a part of the campaign and a part of the future of the park.” To donate, visit shelby farmspark.org/ or call the park oice at 901-222-7275. G E R M A N T OW N

FARMINGTON ELEMENTARY

Ouyang in Intel talent search semifinals By Liz Copeland Special to The Weekly

Farmington Elementary teacher Sandi Quinn, a Dallas Cowboys fan, died unexpectedly during the winter break. The Cowboys sent letters of sympathy and souvenirs to her pupils.

IN REMEMBRANCE Gifts from Dallas Cowboys honor beloved teacher Sandi Quinn By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

armington Elementary School principal Zac Percoski described third-grade teacher Sandi Quinn as someone who wasn’t afraid to push her students to achieve their best. “She also was loving at the same time and she found something about every kid that was unique or special,” Percoski said. She had a special bond with each of her students, he said, which made it that much harder when he had to call each of their families over their winter break to deliver crushing news. Quinn passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack Dec. 30 at age 50. She is survived by her husband and two children, who are high school- and college-aged. “It deinitely was shocking to everyone here, and her family as well,” Percoski said. Student services coordinator Ashley Brasield wanted to make sure the students had something positive on their irst day back without Quinn. “Anybody who knew her knew that she loved the (Dallas) Cowboys,” Brasield said. Her room was decked out in Cowboys logos, and students had presented

Quinn with a Cowboys purse for Christmas right before the break. So Brasield sent several e-mails to the team’s administration, and was quickly greeted with an eager response. On their irst day back, each of Quinn’s students received a package from the team, including Dallas Cowboys-themed teddy bears, pencils and toothbrushes, along with a personalized letter. “She cherished you all the way you will always cherish your memories together, and we hope these Cowboys items will serve as a lasting reminder of those fond

times you shared,” the letter said. “Our prayers are with you as you return to school and begin a new chapter.” Percoski said he spoke with one student’s parents who said he was in tears on his way to school in the morning over the loss of his teacher, but by the end of the day was “completely ecstatic” over the gesture. “He was just super excited that they had sent them a personal touch,” the principal said. Quinn worked at the school for seven years. She left a career with FedEx to earn her master’s in education, completing her student teaching at Farmington and eventually becoming the school’s mentor for new teachers. She was named Farmington’s teacher of the year in 2012. Brasield, who previously taught at Farmington before joining the Germantown Municipal School District central oice staf, said Quinn’s former students have struggled this week just walking past her classroom. Her class wrote letters to her as an outlet for their grief. “She was the kind of teacher that made you want to grow up and be a teacher,” Brasield said. “If you had Mrs. Quinn you will remember her forever.”

Hammond finalist for Academic All-Stars By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

On Dec. 2, two students and a teacher’s aide were killed in a tragic bus accident in Knox County. Many other students were injured. To show support to the those afected by this tragedy, the Tennessee PTA asked PTAs across the state to have students write messages and words of comfort on blue hearts to be sent to these students. Last month, Houston Middle School students, including (from left) Avery Carrico, Cole Hix, Raquel Conard and Ian Jesselson made a heart for a student in Knox County.

Hunter Hill, a junior at Briarcrest, was named MVP at the NUC Football Combine held in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Briarcrest senior Nick Pope was named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association All-State Team for football. Pope played linebacker and has lettered all four years at Briarcrest. He was voted on the TSSAA All-West Regional First Team Defense this year and also was a Bull Bramlett Award Finalist.

When teachers and students returned from winter break, members of the Collierville Education Foundation visited the faculty of Crosswind Elementary to deliver more than $12,000 in grants for classroom needs.

Briarcrest senior John Hammond holds a 5.05 weighted grade-point average and scored a 34 on the ACT. He has been named a National Merit Semifinalist and winner of the Yale Book Award. A John d i l i g e n t Hammond scholar, Hammond has won multiple Silver Medals on the national Latin Exam. He is captain of the Knowledge Bowl team and a member of the National Honor Society and the Wilson Society. An accomplished vocalist, Hammond is a leader in the school’s acclaimed a cappella group, “OneVoice.” He also is a lead actor in the drama department, where he played Captain Von Trapp in the production of “The Sound of Music.” Hammond also is a varsity contributor in soccer and football. Through his leadership in The Wilson Society, Hammond changed the way in which teachers recycle by organizing a student-led initiative to collect recyclables on a regular basis.

Nonprofit education foundation visits schools, presents grants to teachers By Russell Dyer Special to The Weekly

The Collierville Education Foundation awarded local Collierville schools grants totaling $100,000 recently when teachers returned from the break. CEF Board Members, along with Collierville Schools Board Members and employees, visited each school Jan. 5 to make the awards. Grants ranged from a few hundred dollars to purchase items such as document cameras and reading sets all the way to a few thousand dollars to purchase heart rate monitors, ActivBoards, Robots, iPads and a sensory

room for special education students. In total, more than 100 grants were distributed that day. The CEF is a nonprofit organization formed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;create awareness among the parents, businesses, the community and the general public of this progressive, growing community.â&#x20AC;? The main fundraisers that raise money for the grants include a Bowl-A-Thon, a Golf Tournament, and a Classic Car and Bike Show. Many local businesses also make significant contributions. Russell Dyer is the chief of staf for Collierville Schools.

Obama’s community college proposal draws praise, criticism By Michael Collins collinsm@shns.com 202-408-2711

WASHINGTON — Sandy Baum irmly believes the federal government should assure educational opportunities for students across the country. She’s just not sure President Barack Obama’s ofer of two years of free community college is the answer. “It’s addressing an important problem,” Baum, an author and educator who has studied trends in college costs, said of the proposal that Obama announced last Friday in Knoxville. But, “I don’t know there is a cookiecutter solution.” Obama’s plan, patterned after Gov. Bill Haslam’s Tennessee Promise scholarship program, attempts to put a college degree within reach for more students by removing what for some is the biggest ob-

stacle: cost. Obama wants to ofer two years of tuition-free community college to students who enroll in programs that meet certain academic standards and who maintain at least a 2.5 grade-point average and show steady progress toward completing their degree. If implemented in all 50 states, the program could put a college degree within reach for as many as 9 million students, the White House says. But while the program has won the backing of many educators as a way to give more students access to college, a number of skeptics — including some supporters of Tennessee Promise — question the wisdom of attempting a similar approach nationwide. “The right way to expand Tennessee Promise nationally is for other states to do for themselves

what Tennessee has done,” said U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Maryville Republican who is the new chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. The reason Tennessee can aford Tennessee Promise, which ofers two years of free community college or technical school to all high school graduates in the state, is that 56 percent of the state’s community college students already receive a federal Pell grant, Alexander said. The grants average $3,300 per year and help pay for the average annual tuition of $3,800. The state pays the diference — roughly $500. “Nationally, in 16 states, the average Pell grant pays for the typical student’s entire community college tuition,” Alexander said. Baum said community college is already afordable in most states and that it makes no sense to use tax

dollars to give free tuition to people who can already aford to pay. What’s more, she said, only a third of students who enroll in a community college will complete a degree within three years. “I’m much more concerned about iguring out how to help those people go and succeed so they haven’t wasted their time,” said Baum, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, a policy think tank based in Washington. But, “I don’t see anything in this proposal that’s really going to improve their preparation for college.” Another factor that could put Obama’s community college proposal in jeopardy before the new, Republican-controlled Congress is cost. The White House estimates the price tag at $60 billion over 10 years but has ofered no explanation of how it would pay for the program.

As Mary Jean Smith of Collierville walked down a hallway of what once was her high school, she saw a familiar face on the wall. The face was her own, along with several classmates, crossing what is now Poplar Avenue on their way to school around 1947. The photo and a few dozen others now line the hallway of the new University of Memphis Collierville Center. Last Thursday, Smith was among community members and neighbors attending a ribbon cutting and open house at the 27,000-square-foot satellite campus at 215 W. Poplar, set to open for classes on Tuesday. For Collierville, the campus is a milestone — another step toward becoming a “more complete municipality” where residents can fulill all their educational needs, said Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner. The 18-classroom facility that sits on just under 9 acres will house about 1,000 students in undergraduate, graduate and high school dual-enrollment classes. The university has previously ofered classes in Collierville, irst at Collierville High School and most recently in rented space at Carrier Corp. headquarters, but the new facility provides expanded studies and additional student services.

Richard Irwin, the university’s interim vice provost for academic innovation and support services, said the satellite campus is almost three times the size of the one in Millington. The goal, he said, is for students to be able to earn an entire degree without leaving the Collierville campus. “We’ve been able to add inventory to the class schedule,” Irwin said. The facility will also offer advising and free tutoring services for students along with its 99 courses in 34 subjects, allowing students to earn a bachelor of professional studies in organizational leadership, a bachelor of liberal studies and a master of arts in liberal studies or professional studies in human resources management. Projected enrollment for the semester starting this month is 800 to 900, with up to 400 additional high school students taking dual-enrollment classes. Provost Karen WeddleWest said the facility will also allow adults who didn’t inish their education to come back and complete their degrees. Collierville is ideal for that, she said, as a middle- to upper-income area that includes those who found success without needing a degree but may want to inish it if they can do so conveniently. It will also help the school tap into an area rich with professionals who may consider adjunct teaching if they didn’t have to drive to the main campus regularly.

perspective on what sacriice really means. Jef still proudly serves our country and now has a family of his own with a beautiful wife and year old son. Since they are stationed overseas, I enjoy Facebook, where I can see their pictures and make sure he is safe. I also enjoy seeing pictures of my other family and friends, and their relatives, who serve in our military and as irst responders. Many friends here in the MidSouth are police oicers and ireighters. They are neighbors, parents, coaches, church leaders, and humble civic servants. They do not it a faceless label;

they are brave individuals who give back, help those in need, and risk their lives to deal with the worst, so we can enjoy the best of circumstances. They are mothers and fathers with loved ones and children waiting anxiously for their return home. So, my appreciation goes out to all the brave men and women who protect our freedoms each day. With the coming new year, I promise to make it a point to thank our public servants as often as I see them. I hope you will do the same. It is the least I can do for my brother and all who humbly serve our city and nation.

Food

How to make great vegetable stock, why you should By James P. Dewan Chicago Tribune The CommerCial appeal files

Kelly English (left) will bring his New Orleans-inspired dishes to the monthlong Big Bad Pop-ups dinner series created by John Currence (right) as a food, fun and fundraising event.

BIG, BAD DINING Currence’s annual lighthearted dinner series set for Oxford By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

n 2013, John Currence closed City Grocery, the cornerstone of his Oxford restaurant group, for six weeks so he could renovate the kitchen. But of course he wanted to keep his staf on the payroll and needed something for them to do. It was the birth of Big Bad Pop-ups, a monthlong dinner series that features guest chefs in Currence’s kitchen and a breezy, lighthearted approach to food. “Part of the fun is being a little irreverent,” Currence said. “Last year, it was a little more serious. Rodney Scott was doing his traveling tour, and we did dinners for that. This year, we decided to return to the format of the irst year.”

The series begins Jan. 19-20 and will continue on Monday and Tuesday nights through Feb. 10. The irst week, Currence and the City Grocery staf will serve up their take on Chinese-American dishes with the “Sleepy Dragon Project.” On Jan. 26-27, Snackbar chef Vishwesh Bhatt and Asha Gomez of Atlanta host “Mumbai, Mississippi,” cooking up Southerninluenced Indian street food. On Feb. 2-3, Kelly English, owner of Restaurant Iris and The Second Line in Memphis, presents “Second Line 662” serving dishes keeping with the theme of his New Orleans casual spot, the second of which will open this spring in Oxford (hence the 662 area code). The series will end Feb. 9-10 with “The 132-Foot Journey,” hosted by Corbin Evans of the Oxford Canteen. Proceeds will beneit University Medical Center Children’s Hospital Fund. “We all have our favorite charities, like Le Bonheur (Children’s Hospital) for me, and we count on each other to help out. So if it’s near and dear to John Currence’s heart, it’s near and dear to mine,” English said. At each dinner, about 10 to 12 dishes will be ofered, ranging in price from $6 to $17, and small bites along with specialty cocktails and

punches will be available in the bar at City Grocery. Currence’s menu is ready. “The menu is 80 percent slightly dressed-up typical Chinese-American fare but with a twist,” he said. “We’ll have fried rice, steamed buns, which are not Chinese at all, cashew chicken livers, smoked beef with broccoli. We’ll also have a lamb mac and cheese, which is not Chinese at all, with a red chili cucumber pickle, which is really more Korean.” He considered doing dinner dim sum style, but decided against it. “It was a great idea, but to get people who aren’t trained to work from a cart ended up sounding like a disaster waiting to happen,” he said. And while Bhatt’s dinner will also depart from the food typically served at Snackbar, another Currence restaurant in Oxford where Bhatt is the chef (and for which he’s twice been named a James Beard semiinalist for Best Chef: South), English will stay true to his menu, which features po’ boys, red beans and rice, barbecue shrimp and other New Orleans favorites. He also has an original dish of fries covered with pimento cheese and andouille, not New Orleans in nature but certainly in spirit.

He might ofer it during the popup, but his dinner is almost a month away, and he’s not sure what he’ll serve. “It will be Second Line-style food, and that’s all I know for sure,” he said. “The main thing is to have fun and beneit a good cause,” Currence said. The irst year, the dinners were held at his catering facility in Oxford because the kitchen was unusable at City Grocery. It was decorated to complement the food of each dinner, and this year, they’ll do that at City Grocery. “My staf is totally befuddled by me because they know how seriously I take City Grocery, how I treat it like my irst born,” he said. “They can’t believe I’m up for all the decorating, but I said I’m not only up for it, but we’re not going to take any of it down until it’s over, either. We’ll have Christmas lights, lanterns, maybe pirates for all I know.” City Grocery is at 152 Courthouse Square in Oxford; call 662232-8080. The dinners begin at 6 p.m., and no reservations are accepted. “It’s first-come, first-served,” Currence said. “But people can wait at the bar, and we’ll be here until 10 p.m., when we hope we’ll be shooing people out.”

Folks, when the inal cattle call comes for that great big roundup in the sky, it’s conceivable that your passage through the gates of pearl will be entirely dependent on your ability to make a good vegetable stock. And if that is indeed the case, you’re going to be glad you read this.

WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN THIS Well, it’s winter, and you know you’re going to be wanting some hot soup. And so are your vegetarian friends. Trust me: Vegetable stock is about 13 gajillion times better than water for making soups and sauces. THE STEPS YOU TAKE First, let’s start by identifying our terms. Stock is a lavorful liquid typically made by simmering animal bones, aromatic vegetables and herbs and spices in water. In classical French cuisine, it’s called fond, like “foundation.” Because sauces made from stocks are a primary component of French cuisine, good stock is essential. I mentioned that most stocks are made from bones. This is because, along with the lavor, animal ingredients impart umami, that deep, savory, meaty taste related to the chemical glutamate. Most vegetables don’t have much umami, which is why vegetarian dishes can sometimes seem somewhat less satisfying than meat dishes. Vegetable soups (or sauces), particularly those based on water, can very often lack a real depth of lavor. That’s why we make an efort not to use water, because water serves only to dilute lavor rather than add to it. And that, in turn, is exactly why we use vegetable stock. With the exception of bones, the ingredients in vegetable stock are similar to those in meat stock. Both are typically flavored with parsley, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorn, and both typically use a 2-to-1-to-1 mix of onions, carrots and celery. This is called mirepoix (meer-uhPWAH). To make up for the lack of bones, vegetable stock just needs more vegetables. By deinition, any vegetables or their trimmings can be used. That said, though, the starch in potatoes can cloud a stock. Also, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, caulilower, cabbage, etc.) are high in sulfur, which can make the stock overly bitter. Tomatoes, leeks, fennel, corn cobs and root vegetables all are good, and mushrooms are terriic because they contribute umami. Cooking the vegetables before simmering can bring out more lavor along with additional sweetness. This can be done either by sweating or sauteing them in oil or by roasting them in a hot oven. Browning the vegetables also makes the inished stock darker. Depending on what you’re using the stock for, you

VEGETABLE STOCK makes 2 quarts. INGREDIENTS

8 sprigs parsley 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon peppercorns, crushed 1 bay leaf 4 juniper berries (optional) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 8 ounces onion, small dice (2-3 medium onions) 4 ounces carrot, small dice (about 2 carrots) 4 ounces celery, small dice (about 2 ribs) 4 ounces leek (white and green), small dice (about 1 small leek) 4 ounces fennel, small dice (about half a bulb) 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms 4 ounces button mushroom 4 ounces tomato, medium dice 4 cloves garlic, crushed 4 ounces dry vermouth 2½ quarts water DIRECTIONS

1 Tie the parsley, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaf and optional juniper berries in a small square of cheesecloth. This is called a sachet d’épice or “spice bag.” (if you don’t have cheesecloth, don’t worry about it. Just add these ingredients to the pot when you add the water in step 5.) 2 heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat; add the onion, carrot, celery, leek and fennel; cook slowly until soft, 5-10 minutes. 3 add shiitake and button mushrooms and tomato; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. 4 add garlic; cook until just fragrant, 30-45 seconds. 5 add sachet, vermouth and water. heat to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, 45 minutes. 6 strain and use immediately or chill quickly, wrap, label and store in refrigerator or freezer.

may or may not want to brown the vegetables irst. One last thing: You might notice that missing from this method is salt. Typically we don’t add salt to stocks because stocks are so often reduced to concentrate their lavors. (Because meat stocks also have naturally occurring gelatin, reducing them also thickens them. Vegetable stocks, because they don’t have gelatin, do not thicken when reduced.) You will add salt when you use the stock in a dish. Here’s a recipe for about a half-gallon of stock. It looks like a lot of ingredients and a lot of chopping. Trust me, though: It’s totally worth it. Also, if you don’t have absolutely all the ingredients, don’t worry about it. Just make sure you use between 1 and 2 pounds of vegetables for each quart of stock. Remember, the higher the vegetable-towater ratio, the stronger the lavor. Once the stock is done, use it immediately or cool it in an ice bath, then store it in the fridge up to a week or freeze it for up to three months.

Bill hogan/ChiCago TriBUne/Tns

Start by bundling the spices and herbs, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaf and juniper berries, in cheesecloth. The result can be heavenly.

Sports LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUM

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES

U of M aims to upgrade seating

Done deal: Grizzlies get Green from Celtics

Chair-back seats will cut capacity

By Ronald Tillery

By Phil Stukenborg stukenborg@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2543

University of Memphis athletic oicials are interested in increasing the number of chair-back seats at city-owned Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium from about 500 to approximately 15,000, an upgrade that would reduce the 60,000 capacity by several thousand. Athletic director Tom Bowen said Jan. 8 the chair-back seats “would add a great dynamic” for Tiger fans. He said the seats would be located halfway up the east and west sides of the stadium and be placed between the 30-yard lines. There would be 7,500 chair-back seats per side, Bowen said. There is no cost estimate and it’s not known how much capacity would be reduced. But while the premium seating would create a slightly more intimate setting for Tiger football games — and the AutoZone Liberty and

Southern Heritage Classic games — there’s not a consensus among the facility’s tenants for such a renovation. Steve Ehrhart, executive director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl game, said “it would be important for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl to participate in the discussion” of any move that would reduce capacity. The game is in the midst of a six-year deal — through 2019 — to pair a Southeastern Conference team against a Big 12 opponent. Last month’s game between Texas A&M of the SEC and West Virginia of the Big 12 drew an announced crowd of 51,282, but since 2000 the game has attracted ive crowds in excess of 58,000, including a record 63,816 for Mississippi State and Central Florida in 2007. The record was achieved before renovations to make the facility ADA-compliant reduced capacity to 60,000. “Until we have the opportunity to discuss this with our partners — the Big 12 Conference and the SEC — a potential loss of seating capacity could be a very important issue,” Eh-

made 34 percent of his shots this season. Prince, 34, was actually performing well at both forward positions, averaging 45.5 percent from 3-point range in 24 minutes of the bench. But Prince’s expiring $7.7 million contract was attractive trade bait. Taking on Green’s $9.2 million salary meant the Griz would have luxury-tax implications, but moving Pondexter and his $3.1 million contract alleviated payroll concerns. Green, a versatile 6-9 versatile forward, averaged 17.6 points, 14.4 ield goal attempts and was a 43.4 percent shooter in 33 appearances for Boston this season. Memphis and Boston had been in trade talks for several weeks with multiple versions of a deal falling apart. Griz coach Dave Joerger acknowledged Sunday that he had a major voice in the trade discussion. He is said to have long coveted Green, the No. 5 overall pick by Boston in 2007, who was subsequently traded to Seattle for veteran guard Ray Allen.

“Until we have the opportunity to discuss this with our partners — the Big 12 Conference and the SEC — a potential loss of seating capacity could be a very important issue,” said Steve Ehrhart, executive director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

rhart said. “We just think it’s important to stay at the 60,000 igure.” City housing and community development director Robert Lipscomb, who has praised the Liberty Bowl since it underwent ADA improvements and added the Tiger Lane tailgating component, said a discussion about adding chair-back seats might be contentious. “You know there’s going to be a debate about seat backs, how many seats you would lose versus putting seat backs in,” Lipscomb said. “So it’s a discussion we have to have.” Lipscomb said he has heard from the U of M about adding chair-back seats but understands the dilemma. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl and Southern Heritage likely would have a diicult time with a

reduction of capacity. “It’s hard building a consensus,” Lipscomb said. When reached about the potential addition of chairback seats, Southern Heritage founder Fred Jones said he did “not know anything about it.” Ehrhart said there are more pressing concerns. He’d like to see the cramped press box area expanded, as well as areas for radio and television broadcasts. He said four radio networks — including a Spanish network broadcasting Texas A&M football — broadcast from the Liberty Bowl, which has accommodations for two radio booths. Special arrangements were made to accommodate the additional radio teams. Reporter Kyle Veazey contributed to this story.

The Memphis Grizzlies acquired forward Jef Green from Boston in a three-team trade on Monday. Memphis sent forward Tayshaun Prince and a protected first-round draft pick to Boston, and also dealt forward Quincy Pondexter and a 2015 second-round pick to New Orleans. New Orleans shipped guard Austin Rivers to Boston and guard Russ Smith to Memphis. The Griz were motivated to upgrade their small forward position because of steadily declining offensive productivity and athleticism at that position since trading Rudy Gay in 2013. They began this season addressing the position by committee with Tony Allen starting and being spelled by Prince, Pondexter and Vince Carter Green, 28, is more athletic and a better shooter than those players. Pondexter, 26, departed shooting 35.6 percent while the 37-year-old Carter has

Prep Sports ECS 58, FACS 53

GERMANTOWN FOOTBALL

Calm Eagles rally in final minutes to edge Crusaders

Red Devils name head coach

By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

Through all the years, through the 800-plus wins and ive state championships, it has been said of ECS basketball coach Terry Tippett — more than once — that he could make something out of nothing. Last Friday night, it literally had to happen. After his Eagles played nearly 11 minutes without a point, and more than 13 without a ield goal, Tippett seemingly worked his magic, and in the end ECS came away with a 58-53 overtime win over Division 2A-1 rival FACS.

“I’m not sure quite how we got through this one, except to say this team showed its heart,” Tippett said. “And a willingness to share the ball.” Mitch Weatherford, whose 3-pointer with 25 seconds left in regulation tied the game at 50, and whose two free throws with 24.5 seconds left in OT gave the Eagles (14-4, 7-5) a 56-53 cushion, was a calming inluence down the stretch. “When Skal (Labissiere) left we weren’t supposed to be able to do anything,” said Weatherford. “But Coach always seems to ind a way to put us in position.” The Crusaders used their

quickness for several transition buckets and backdoor cuts to build a 17-3 lead. ECS inally started scoring and caught FACS at 23 early in the second half.

Germantown High School has named Chris Smith as its new head football coach. A native of Blytheville, Ark., he replaces Charlie White, who stepped down following a 5-5 inish, narrowly missing the Class 6A playofs. “I’m ready to hit the ground running,” the 28-year-old said. “I want people to be able to enjoy the process, the journey. I’m not going to change everything — there’s some great tradition at Germantown — but I want people who are open-minded to some change.” Smith spent the 2013 season at Blytheville High, where he

served as the Chickasaws’ offensive coordinator. He has also served as the ofensive coordinator at Bolivar and was a position coach at Obion Central. Smith’s ofenses have consistently averaged 40 points per game and more than 4,000 yards per season. He signed with Central Arkansas out of high school before transferring to Henderson State, where he started 40 games as a wide receiver in coach Scott Maxield’s highlying ofense. “Some years we’ve run it 70 percent of the time and some years we’ve passed it 70 percent,” he said. “It’s based on our personnel. “We run old-school concepts out of new-school formations.”

TFWC’s annual meeting sure to spark lively debate Five rule amendments will be on the agenda when the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission conducts its monthly meeting today and Friday at Discovery Park of America in Union City. Two of those amendments igure to generate the most discussion — raising most current hunting and ishing licenses and permit fees and creating some new fees relating to horseback riding, bicycling and of-highway vehicle use on Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wildlife management areas. It promises to be a lively two-day meeting. As directed by law, Friday is the only day on which any of the iled rules may be discussed or comments taken. Committee meetings today will begin at 1 p.m. with the formal commission meeting set to begin at 9 a.m. on Friday. Other amendments to be considered during Friday’s TFWC formal meeting are adjusting fees on TWRA owned iring ranges and simplifying the process by which the TWRA selects an organization to auction a permit for the special elk hunt. Discovery Park of America is located at 830 Everett Blvd. in Union City. The meeting will be held in the Reelfoot Room.

In other news Record possible: With

seven more weeks of archery hunting remaining, for the third straight season deer checked by hunters in Arkansas have topped 200,000. The record is 213,487 during the 2012-13 season. The archery season runs through Feb. 28 statewide on private land and on most wildlife management and national wildlife refuges. Go fish: The second and inal stocking of the TWRA’s winter trout program in the Shelby Metro area is taking place this week. On Tuesday, rainbow trout were stocked in Cameron Brown Lake (Germantown), Orgill Lake (Millington) and Johnson Park Lake (Collierville). Today, Munford City Park Lake and Davies Plantation and Yale Road Park (Bartlett) will be stocked. Give a hand: The annual Habitat Day at Enid Lake in North Mississippi is set for Feb. 7. Volunteers will meet at the lake’s ield oice at 7 a.m. This year’s event will focus on areas adjacent to Billy’s and Mooney Creeks. Different areas are targeted each year where improvements in the habitat can be made. Cedar and discarded Christmas trees are used to construct ish shelters in the targeted areas. The actual placement of ish shelters is accomplished by interested volunteers who donate their time and equipment, dragging the trees with ATVs and anchoring them with concrete blocks and other weights along creek beds and other designated areas. It’s that time: Several area churches have announced dates for their annual wild-game suppers, including Germantown Baptist Church, 9450 Poplar Avenue (Jan. 24); Brookside Baptist Church, 3993 Miss. 302 East near Olive Branch (Feb. 8); Kirk Baptist, 6365 Raleigh/ LaGrange Road in Collierville (Feb. 21); New Hope Baptist Church, 6800 Centerhill Road in Olive Branch (Feb. 28); Longview Heights Baptist Church, 4501 Goodman Road in Olive Branch (Feb. 28); Trinity Baptist Church, 8899 Trinity Road in Cordova (March 5); and Bartlett Hills Baptist Church, 4641 Ellendale Road in Bartlett (March 7).

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

The Christian Brothers basketball team has played 17 games. And coach Bubba Luckett said the team has played “really, really well” in only about six of those. The Brothers didn’t play really, really well last Friday at MUS. But as they have in every other game this season, they managed to come out on top. Shunterio Alexander scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead CBHS, ranked third in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen, to a 31-22 victory over host MUS in the Division 2-AA West Region opener for both teams. “There have been two or three games this year that we really didn’t deserve to win,” said Luckett. “But we just have a such a great competitive spirit. We just grind it out. And we defend really well.” CBHS entered the contest second in the state in points allowed per game, giving up just 41.1 per contest. But it was a combination of good defense, poor shooting and a red-hot atmosphere inside Ross M. Lynn Arena that led to the low score. “All the games in this league, it’s hard to score,” said Luckett. “We just know each other so well. Both teams know how

to guard one another, and I think it was a combination of that and being all hyped up. “Neither team had played before a crowd like this all year, and I think both teams were really hyped up.” William Douglas also had 10 points for the Brothers, who won despite shooting just 32.4 percent from the ield.

PENNY HARDAWAY HOOPFEST

Lawson brothers’ 46 points lift Hamilton over No. 1 Oak Hill By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

The top team in the MaxPreps national high school basketball rankings came to town last Saturday to take on the top team locally. Advantage Hoop City. University of Memphis signee K.J. Lawson scored 26 points as Hamilton took control after a shaky start and went on to defeat Oak Hill Academy, 87-76, in the feature game of the American Residential Services Penny Hardaway Hoopfest at Arlington High. “This is the greatest win I’ve ever been a part of,” said Hamilton coach Todd Day. “On this stage, it means everything for our school and for South Memphis. We’ve got some tough guys; basketball is the least of their worries.” Added Dedric Lawson, who is also headed to Memphis, “People thought we really weren’t supposed to win. Even the organizers of the tournament thought we’d get blown out. But we put it down for our city.”

Dedric Lawson added 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Wildcats (14-0), who fell behind 11-2 early before taking control of the game. They led by 15 at halftime and were up as much as 20 points in the third. And while the Lawsons were superb as always, it was deinitely a team victory. Terrance Baker was unstoppable around the rim, scoring 23 points on 11-of-13 shooting while matching Dedric Lawson’s rebounds total. Jordan Cummings provided a spark of the bench with 11 points, while Day praised the defensive effort of guard Romero Hill. And Charles Telford, at 5-9 the smallest player on the loor, set the tone early by refusing to bow against the physical play of Oak Hill’s Terrance Phillips, a Missouri signee. “We have some great veteran leadership,” said Day, who is in the irst year at his alma mater after coming from MAHS. “I inherited a ready-made team.” The game was nationally televised on ESPN

and K.J. Lawson was glad for the diferent outcome after his EYBL team lost in the national tournament inals over the summer. “That was the last TV game I played in,” he said. “That was a tough loss and I couldn’t lose on TV again.” Dwayne Bacon, a 6-6 guard who is headed to Florida State, led Oak Hill (22-1) with 29 points and nine boards. Iowa signee Andrew Fleming chipped in with 14 points. Tournament host Arlington threw a scare into Chicago Simeon before falling, 60-56. Luke Wiseman, son of former Tennessee standout Lang Wiseman, hit a 3-pointer with 47.3 seconds left to bring the Tigers to within 54-52. But Simeon hit six straight free throws down the stretch to put it away. Nathan Hoover led Arlington with 20; 6-7 Nebraska signee Ed Morrow had 25 and eight rebounds for Simeon.

or a healthy, happy plant, dig a hole and plant it in the ground. “Duh!,” you may say. “Everyone knows that!” But there are exceptions such as “air” plants that grow in trees and take their nutrients from the moisture in the atmosphere; parasites like mistletoe that prefer to get water and nutrients from their hosts plants, and water plants that inhabit ponds and lakes. As gardeners, we work hard at getting plants to thrive where we want to see and appreciate them. In the winter, it means having a few of them indoors where we can see, touch and even smell them.

Travel Lake Placid is more than just a winter destination. It’s a safe, pleasant vacation spot year round.

AssociAted press photos

Night falls over Mirror in Lake Placid, N.Y. Known for decades as a winter wonderland and where the U.S. Olympic hockey team stunned the unbeatable Russians in 1980 in perhaps the most-celebrated sporting event ever, Lake Placid is not just for snowy fun anymore, but is a town for all seasons.

A town for all seasons L

AKE PLACID, N.Y. — Perhaps it’s the fresh-baked cookie that’s ofered to guests as they check into the Mirror Lake Inn, the village’s crown jewel of lodging. Or perhaps it’s how just about every quaint store and restaurant in town has some sort of reminder that miracles can, and have, happened there. Either way, it doesn’t take long upon arriving in Lake Placid to realize there’s something unique about the place. Known for decades as a winter wonderland and where the U.S. Olympic hockey team stunned the unbeatable Russians in 1980 in perhaps the most-celebrated sporting event ever, Lake Placid is not just for snowy fun anymore. The vacation haven in the Adirondack Mountains is a town for all seasons now, though the sights this time of year are nothing short of Rockwellian. “It’s the place you never really think about coming to, and then you get here and you never want to leave,” said Scott Natter, a vacationer from Philadelphia who was touring the Olympic Center — the arena where the 1980 Miracle On Ice happened — with two of his children on a recent snowy day. w“For us, it’s an annual thing now. We say ‘vacation’ and our kids say ‘Placid.’ ” With a year-round population of about 2,500, Lake Placid has remained small but bustling. Tourism and continuing to tell the Olympic tales of 1932 and 1980 are the backbone of the little community, where cell service can still be a touch spotty and few seem to mind. But with a mix of classic and new attractions and amenities, there’s more to the place now than ever before. Whiteface Mountain still packs in skiers and snowboarders with arguably the best terrain in the East. Thrill-seekers can get their ix for speed and danger by taking a bobsled ride at Mount Van Hoevenberg. And those just looking to unwind can enjoy a maple sugar body scrub — yes, it is what it sounds like — at Mirror Lake Inn. Hikers looking to scale any or all of the 46 Adirondack peaks that stand 4,600 feet or higher tend to start visiting in the spring. In the summer, there’s a full-scale Ironman triathlon and a renowned horse show (which takes place in the shadow of the 1980 Olympic caldron). Leaf-peepers pack the region in the fall, getting a look at the brilliant hues

Lights decorate the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid where those just looking to unwind can enjoy a maple sugar body scrub.

before the trees fall barren again for the inevitable winter. Bookstores, a little theater, an arts center that lures kids from 100 miles away, ishing, goling ... some of those might not all be available 12 months a year, but they’re all there. And many of those places are connected by brick sidewalks where people can walk about unbothered and unworried, even after nightfall. “It is beyond a year-round destination,” said Lisa Weibrecht, who owns

and operates the Mirror Lake Inn with her husband, Ed. “Winter is such a small part of Lake Placid. I would say deinitely summer is the most recognized season here between the lakes, the mountains, people leaving the city. This started as a summer resort and our population swells by three times during the summer. I don’t think there’s any place more beautiful to be than in Lake Placid in the summer and the fall.” Still, its calling card might be win-

Adjacent to the olympic skating oval and olympic center.

ter, as evidenced by the two Olympic medals that hang behind the front desk at Mirror Lake. Those medals were won by the Weibrecht’s son, Andrew — at the last two Olympic Winter Games. “People always say, ‘Can you swim in the lake?”’ Ed Weibrecht said. “And I tell them, here, you can drink the lake. It’s a wonderful place.”

ASK DR. JOHNSON: Somebody who specializes in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Does Anything health. Actually Work? sexual After extensive

The Answer is YES!

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a straight up guy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held off on commenting on the erectile dysfunction (ED) controversy until I was able to really do my homework. Well the results are in.

Erectile dysfunction is a fact of life. Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is a biggie), diabetes, or simply due to aging, the accompanying loss of self esteem is something that effects millions of men every day. And in a nutshell, that seems to be the problem - every manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ED problem is different and requires different treatment.

research, the only approach that makes sense comes from companies called the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinic that have been opening across the country. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one here in Memphis. The Memphis Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinic specializes in ED and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all they do. Their doctors seem to be the only ones who realize that ED effects every man differently. They have uniquely combined three medically approved ingredients for ED into 70 different formulations --- one of which will make â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? start happening immediately --- and I mean immediately for over 92% of all men experiencing ED. In fact, if â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start happening on the irst visit, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay a single penny.

Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my doctor tell me?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect much help from your family doctor. How you perform in the bedroom is not really his concern and he will probably just prescribe some â&#x20AC;&#x153;pillsâ&#x20AC;?.

What color is your favorite pill?

Regardless of your age -

Drug companies have jumped all over this like a --- well a drug company. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to say the names --- weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen the ads --- but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent millions trying to convince you all that one pill ixes all --- when in actuality they fail over 50% of the time. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fact.

Dr. Johnson is a board-certiied physician specializing in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health at the Memphis Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinic.

Regardless of your medical history or your age --- they have satisied patients ranging from 23 to 91 --- if you suffer from ED you should call the--Memphis Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinic at ------901-443-0480 today to schedule an appointment and regain your sexual health.
