More than 400 boxers are busy chasing the Olympic dream in Memphis this week.

For Claressa Shields and Marlen Esparza it’s “Dream Times Two.” The U.S. Olympic Women’s Boxing Trials, and the inal qualiier for the Men’s Olympic Trials in Reno later this year, will run through Friday at Cook Convention Center, with the inals set for Saturday evening at 7 p.m. in the Cannon Center.

At stake are the three women’s berths on the U.S. squad that will compete in the Summer Olympics next year in Rio de Janeiro. The men are competing for the inal 20 spots — two in 10 diferent weight classes — in the men’s trials Dec. 7-12.

Shields, a middleweight, and featherweight Esparza are seeking their second bits of Olympic hardware. Shields is seeking to become the irst two-time gold medal winner in U.S. Boxing history. Esparza won the bronze in London. Both won gold at the last fall’s World Boxing Championships in South Korea, and give USA Boxing executive director Mike Martino cause to believe that medals in all three women’s weight categories are a real possibility.

Among the men’s entries are a pair of Memphis area light welterweights, Macro Hall and Adam Young.

This is the second time that Prize Fight Boxing has brought an Olympic Trials to the Mid-South. The Men’s Trials were held in Tunica prior to the 2004 Athens Olympics.

U of m economist: ‘We need a lot more jobs’ Sees slowing of jobless rate decline

By Kevin McKenzie mckenzie@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2348

The unemployment rate in Greater Memphis for September was 6.4 percent, government data showed on Thursday, better than the 7.6 percent a year ago and the best for the month since 2007, be-

fore the Great Recession.

Still, University of Memphis labor economist John Gnuschke, director of the Sparks Bureau of Business and Economic Research, keeps coming back to one word: jobs.

Whether it’s the Memphis metro-area labor force that has more than 30,000 fewer people in it than it did four years ago, or encounters with the criminal justice system that haunt people looking for work, Gnuschke focuses on jobs.

“We need a lot more jobs, and I keep coming back to that,” he said.

“We still need a lot more jobs.”

Here, edited for brevity, are excerpts from a conversation with Gnuschke earlier this week about the Greater Memphis employment picture.

UNEMPLOYMENT RATE We’re doing better, but the unemployment rate falls for a couple of reasons. It falls because people drop out of the labor force. And so that’s happening,

and then it falls because some jobs are being created, employers are doing more hiring, the economy is looking stronger.

So as long as that continues, that unemployment rate is good and it should continue to fall.

But it’s nearing the point at which we can’t expect it to continue to fall as rapidly.

LABOR FORCE The only way we’re going to get people to participate in the labor force is to, in fact, create

jobs. If there are a lot of jobs out there, people will go seek them.

Memphis is famous for that.

If you have a job opening and you say you’re going to list it and you’re going to have a job fair Monday morning, there will be a line of people around your facility.

MORE JOBS A lot more jobs puts pressure on wages as employers, of course, pay more to get better employees, and they will.

Federal case for killed cop continued

By Yolanda Jones

In February 2015, he was sworn in as a Memphis police oicer at the church.

On Oct. 19, family and friends gathered at the Binghamton church to attend his funeral.

“On the night we gathered to celebrate Terence’s graduation from the Memphis Police academy, everyone was all smiles and Terence looked at me as if to say, ‘I told you I was going to be here,’” said Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong. “We had no way of knowing then that we would be here today to celebrate Terence’s life.”

Olridge, an of-duty Memphis police oicer, was shot and killed last week by his neighbor during a dispute.

Lorenzo Clark, 36, was arrested on state and federal weapons charges in connection with the shooting, but police have said there is not enough evidence to charge Clark with murder in Olridge’s death.

Clark has been charged with being a felon in possession of a handgun. Police are continuing to investigate the shooting.

A pedestrian struck in an early Thursday morning accident on Poplar in Germantown died a short time later at the Regional Medical Center, authorities in the suburb said.

The victim — Freddie Lee Phillips, 59, of Memphis — was apparently crossing Poplar from north to south on his way to work at the West Street Diner. He worked at the restaurant about eight years as a dishwasher.

Germantown police said Phillips was struck by an eastbound car on Poplar just west of Germantown Road about 6:15 a.m. Oicials said there were no indications of drugs or speeding contributing to the accident, and no charges against the driver are expected.

Insp. Lee Covey, head of the Germantown police uniform patrol division, said the driver of the car was a nursing student on his way to work. A witness, according to Covey, was behind the car that struck Phillips. The witness said both cars were traveling under 40 mph and the victim “just appeared” all of a sudden.

Oicer Kyle Craig, Terence Olridge’s partner, comforts Olridge’s iancee, Shaleda Rozier. Craig described his partner as a “humble” man who loved his family and job.

tended by hundreds, Olridge was remembered as a father, a son and a man who went after his dream of becoming a Memphis police oicer.

“Terence was locked in and focused,” Armstrong told the audience. “He was working a job that he had dreamed of. Last Sunday, he was in the ight for his life when the Lord said, ‘Stop ighting. It is time.’ ” Olridge, 31, is the fourth Memphis police oicer killed in the last four years in the city. Three months ago, Oicer Sean Bolton was shot and killed during a traic stop while on duty.

Armstrong said that Olridge was also the second member of his 118th graduating class to die this year.

“Stay strong,” Armstrong said

to the members of the class that attended Olridge’s funeral. “Terence is watching and telling you to take care of business.”

Oicer Kyle Craig described his partner as a “humble” man who loved his family, job and always had a good attitude.

“I asked him what the ‘T’ stood for in his name and he told me ‘terriic,’ so that’s what I started calling him,” Craig said.

Olridge leaves behind a 10-month-old daughter from a previous relationship. His iancée, Shaleda Rozier, is four months’ pregnant with his second child.

Before his lag-draped casket was closed, she placed an ultrasound picture of their unborn child on Olridge’s chest.

The federal case was continued Thursday for Lorenzo Clark, 36, who is charged with state and federal gun violations in connection with the Oct. 11 fatal shooting of offduty Memphis police Oficer Terence Olridge in Cordova.

His attorneys, Bill Massey and Lorna McCluskey, were granted a continuance until Wednesday. Clark’s mother called out “I love you son” and his cousin, Barbara Clemons, said she believes he shot the oicer in self defense.

McCluskey and Massey said they want time to coordinate due to the dual prosecutions.

In the News GOVERNMENT

Cohen joins call for lower incarceration rates For nonviolent drug ofenders

By Richard Locker locker@commercialappeal.com 615-255-4923

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen added his voice Friday to the growing number of oficials calling for reforms to end the nation’s high rates of incarceration for nonviolent and lower-level drug

ofenders.

In a speech to the criminal justice section of the American Bar Association’s fall institute in Washington, Cohen, D-Memphis, also called for the collection of national statistics on the use of deadly force by law enforcement agencies. He said a bill he has introduced called the National Statistics on Deadly Force Transparency Act would give lawmakers and the public “the

numbers we need to measure the problem so we can igure out how best to address it.”

A new group comprised of 130 police chiefs, prosecutors and other top law enforcement oicials from across the U.S. issued a report calling for a reduction in incarceration rates for nonviolent ofenders.

“I know it will shock none of you when I say that our criminal justice system is broken. For proof, we

need look no further than our nation’s prison population...” Cohen said.

Cohen linked the issue to what he called “the failed war on drugs,” including “racially discriminatory sentencing disparities for crack versus powder cocaine” and “the irrational criminalization of mari-

juana.”

He said marijuana remains classiied in federal law as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for the most dangerous drugs with no medical.

The congressman cited a number of steps Congress and President Barack Obama are considering, in-

cluding the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2015 introduced earlier this month by a bipartisan coalition of senators.

It would reduce mandatory minimums for prior drug ofenses and broaden the ability of judges to tailor sentences on a case-bycase basis.

va DuVernay admitted to being a little “shaken up,” having just toured the National Civil Rights Museum and stood on the balcony where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

But at the museum’s Freedom Award ceremonies at The Cannon Center for the Performing Arts Thursday night, the Oscarnominated director of the movie “Selma” called her initial visit to Memphis “one of the most beautifully organized experiences I’ve ever had.” “You do it really nice here in Memphis,” DuVernay added.

The 43-year-old DuVernay, the irst AfricanAmerican female director nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, as well as the irst black female director to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award, was one of the three “phenomenal and inspiring individuals,” as host Michael Eric Dyson called them, receiving the annual Freedom Award in a black-tie event at the 2,100-seat Cannon Center.

The other honorees were Ruby Bridges-Hall, who as a 6-year-old integrated an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960; and Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, who as a white woman from the South who was ostracized, imprisoned and attacked for her role in lunch-counter sit-ins, voter-registration drives and other eforts during the Civil Rights movement.

The ceremony took place against a potent historic backdrop — this year marked the 50th anniversary of the bloody march on Selma, Ala., and the subsequent passage of the Voting Rights Act — but it also came amid surging contemporary issues, such as recent police killings of unarmed African-Amer-

icans, the mass incarceration of black men and continuing racial violence, including the slaying of nine black churchgoers by a white man in Charleston, S.C., in June.

“Clearly our job to combat racism is not over,” said museum president Terri Lee Freeman.

Bridges-Hall, 61, portrayed in a famous Norman Rockwell painting being escorted to school by federal marshals, told the audience that walking past hateful crowds back then represented “my irst experience with racism.”

She said it was something that a child couldn’t understand.

“It doesn’t matter to us, as 6-year-old kids, what our friends look like. ... All of our babies, when they come into this world they come with a clean heart and a fresh start on life ...,” Bridges-Hall said.

“It’s us — we as adults — we take racism and pass it on to our children.”

In her remarks, Mulholland, 74, invoked a message from a poster she saw in Mississippi — a place she least expected to see it. “Y’all means all,” the poster read.

“Let’s hold that thought, and go forth and make it a reality,” she said.

The ceremony closed after recognizing another participant in the Civil Rights struggle, Rev. Clark Olsen, who traveled to Selma in 1965 after King called upon clergy members to join the march.

CHELSEA AVENUE GREENLINE

‘Wine at the Wall’ fundraiser is Friday

By Emily Adams Keplinger Special to The Weekly

Come celebrate outdoor art as the Greater Memphis Greenline invites the public to share its community fundraiser, Wine at the Wall, on Friday, from 4-6 p.m. at the corner of Evergreen Street and Marble Avenue.

The public is invited to come stroll the North Memphis Chelsea Avenue Greenline and view the latest art installation along a quarter-mile section of the Wolf River lood wall. The installation stands next to an unused railway that the Greater Memphis Greenline wants to transform into a new multiuse trail that will link Midtown to the uptown riverfront.

The corridor will include New Chicago and Uptown neighborhoods, as well as the Wolf River Greenway, the Mississippi River Trail, St. Jude’s campus, Rhodes College and other nearby schools.

“This project is signiicant to the Memphis community as we are seeking

to build a network across the Greater Memphis area that will put a walking trail or a bike trail within a mile of every Memphian,” said Syd Lerner, executive director of Greater Memphis Greenline. “We are working in collaboration with the city of Memphis and the Chelsea Avenue Greenline is already in development.”

The Wine at the Wall event will honor Paul Patterson with the Department of Public Works with the city of Memphis and Karen Golightly of Paint Memphis for making this outdoor artwork project a reality. There will also be a silent auction and live entertainment.

“Outdoor art can be a draw, like a magnet, to bring people to an area. We want this art installation to increase foot and bicycle traic for the future Chelsea Avenue Greenline,” explained Lerner.

Tickets for Wine at the Wall are available at eventbrite.com/e/wine-at-thewall-tickets-18782575188 or by calling 901-219-1059.

Judging from the rutted path that’s been worn into a steep slope, bicyclists and walkers already are inding their way from the Perkins Road area to the Shelby Farms Greenline.

But in a project that’s expected to cost $170,000, the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy and residents of the Avon neighborhood hope to provide safer and better access to the popular multiuse trail, which passes beneath a bridge on Perkins.

They’re raising funds to build an Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant trail and ramps connecting Perkins and Princeton roads with the greenline.

The project received a major boost earlier this month thanks to a decision

by Shelby County Commissioner Heidi Shafer, who represents the area. Each commissioner is allocated $100,000 to contribute to nonproit groups or toward a community enhancement project, and Shafer, citing broad neighborhood support, agreed to devote her entire allotment to the greenline access initiative.

“That was a huge, huge step in the right direction,” said Cameron Mann, manager of development and communications for the conservancy, the nonproit group that oversees the greenline and Shelby Farms Park.

In addition to that sum, the conservancy also has raised a few thousand dollars through a website (shelbyfarmspark.org/ perkins) and its Facebook page, said Betsy Peterson,

coordinator for development and communications. The group also has launched a crowdsourcing efort through IOBY (In Our Back Yard), a platform for supporting community projects.

But they’re still more than $65,000 short of the goal for the project.

Residents of the Avon neighborhood, which is bounded by Perkins, Mendenhall, Walnut Grove and the greenline corridor, irst sought a connection when the greenline was built in 2010, going so far as to raise some money for initial rendering. But

it wasn’t until 2013, when the conservancy received a Mid-South Regional Greenprint subplanning grant, that the irm Ritchie Smith Associates could be hired to design the project.

Kevin Raney, a resident of the Avon community, said neighborhood residents now must either negotiate the steep trail or cross one of two busy streets — Perkins or Mendenhall — to get to the greenline.

“Really there is no access to the greenline from our neighborhood that doesn’t have some signiicant dangers that go with

it,” Raney said.

Peterson said the project is important because it’s within a 2.5-mile gap between access points on the greenline, which currently runs from Binghamton to Shelby Farms and soon will extend farther eastward to Cordova.

“The only access to the greenline is on cross streets at grade,” she said.

“We’ve never constructed a ramp like this.”

Also, the existing “goat path” is steep and not particularly safe, she said.

And the more it gets used, the greater the threat of erosion.

In the News DEVELOPMENT

When the Mississippi River rose to historic levels with a crest just shy of 48 feet in April and May of 2011, it brought headaches and damage, but now it may help bring millions in grant dollars to Shelby County with the second phase of the National Disaster Resilience Competition.

DISASTER RELIEF

County asks HUD for $70M in disaster resilience competition

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

This lood didn’t bring national television news personalities to Memphis to wade in the rising waters of the Mississippi River.

But the looding in April 2011 that afected areas of Millington, Raleigh, Frayser and Southwest Memphis could bring millions of dollars in federal grant money to Shelby County.

In the second phase of the National Disaster Resilience Competition, the county will ask the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for $70.4 million for projects that include reworking a loodway in Millington and the buyout and relocation of homeowners in the Weaver Road area.

The request is an attempt to secure some portion of $1 billion in federal funds that allow competing communities to receive grants ranging from $1 million to $500 million.

Shelby County was one of 57 communities to apply for the irst phase and one of 40 asked to continue to

the second phase.

“This is one of the irst really signiicant investments that the federal government has made in resilience. Most of the dollars go to recovery eforts,” said John Zeanah, administrator of the Memphis-Shelby County Oice of Sustainability.

The competition required applicants to detail what has been done since the disaster and the work that could be done with the federal dollars. The 100-plus-page document detailing the county’s plan is available on the county’s website.

These targeted areas were looded after high winds and storms on April 4, 25 and 27 sent water from the Wolf and Loosahatchie rivers, as well as from the Nonconnah and South Cypress creeks, into communities, with some areas reaching 100-year flood levels, Zeanah said.

The money will help these areas recover and put in place lood resilience infrastructures to prepare for future disasters.

“You’re competing based on the quality of

what you’re trying to get accomplished,” said Tom Needham, the county’s public works director.

In Millington, that means redeveloping the lood-prone area with softball ields, ishing lakes, campgrounds, boardwalks and other amenities that won’t be harmed by looding every eight or nine years, Needham said.

And in Southwest Memphis, in an area where twothirds of the community is made up of empty lots or empty buildings, the plan would relocate residents and create other uses for the vacant land, including community gardens and new trails to connect the area to T.O. Fuller State Park.

The residents would be relocated outside the lood zone, but within the community, Needham said.

“We’re looking at trying to team up with some folks locally to help develop housing in the area so people don’t leave,” he said.

The plan includes the use of software that will help the county predict future looding events, Needham said.

Germantown got its irst look today at a revised $90 million development that would bring in a ivestory oice building — the tallest structure in the city — plus two hotels and a bevy of retail.

The suburb’s Smart Code Review Commission walked through changes to the TraVure project, planned for the southeast quadrant of Kirby and Poplar.

“We do see the major strides taken by the development team to address the concerns of the planning commission and to mitigate the concerns of residents,” said Cameron Ross, economic and community development director.

While neighbors still have unresolved issues with the 10-acre dense development, Ross expects the planning commission will vote on Phases 1, 2 and 3 on Nov. 3.

If approved by the commission, construction of the road into the development and other infrastructure elements would begin immediately.

In late August, developers Ray Gill and Desai Hotel Group asked for time to redesign the project, largely because it would have required 12 code variations.

Planning commission members said that was unprecedented in Germantown and warned that rejection would mean a six-month wait before the plans could be resubmitted. The developer withdrew them.

Revised plans for the TraVure project at Kirby and Poplar in Germantown now require just one code variance, instead of the 12 in the initial plans.

The plan the public will saw calls for one departure from code for the hotel complex, a four-story building at the center of the project that will house a Hilton Garden Inn and Home 2 Suites.

In 2013, Germantown worked with property owners in the “western gateway” — the 56 acres along Poplar that form the suburb’s main entry from Memphis — to shape what growth in that small area might look like.

Developers who adhere to the rules, for instance, can build ive stories high instead of the two that are permitted in the current zoning. They may also build denser developments.

In this case, nearly all of the 10 acres will be developed. Under the old rules, only 30 percent could have been developed.

TraVure in French means a “portable bridge for crossing gaps.”

“We chose it for several reasons, but the primary reason is TraVure connects the older, conventional Germantown with the developing, urban Germantown of the future,” Gill said.

For the landlocked city to grow, it has to capitalize limited open space, growing up and in much denser tracts than typical suburban growth.

For developers, the

challenge is creating dense growth that is palatable to neighbors and still within the conines of the code that, for instance, requires buildings to abut streets.

The largest problem with TraVure initially was light from the parking garage, which is to be situated to the west of the Nottoway subdivision.

Neighbors complained that light from headlights and the structure would be streaming into their bedrooms at all hours of the night.

The developers restructured garage walls so headlights on even the highest vehicle will be behind cover. It has also decreased the height of horizontal openings and tucked the building’s light ixtures behind structural elements.

Developers have also added 25 feet of landscaping, including a meditation garden, along the border.

Now, a total of 50 feet of green space and a new fence will separate Nottoway from TraVure.

Residents and elected oicials were both concerned that a separation wall on the Poplar side, originally to be built in phases, could present problems. The plan now includes it in the first phase.

Traic on Tenn. 385 passes over a closed interchange for the new Interstate 269 east of Collierville, a 4.5-mile stretch of the interstate that will run to Miss. 302 near Byhalia. The road oficially opened last Friday afternoon.

FREEWAY LOOP

SOUTHERN SWING Section of I-269 from Collierville to Mississippi state line now open

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

The irst leg of a nearly 30-mile, $700 million-plus freeway loop around the southern perimeter of Memphis opened to traic Friday afternoon, Tennessee transportation oicials announced Oct. 19.

The project cost $53.8 million, including $42.5 million for the 2.5-mile portion in Tennessee. It is part of the local bypass around Memphis along the planned Interstate 69 route from Canada to Mexico.

The entire I-269 project will form a nearly 60-mile horseshoe from Millington to Hernando, Miss. The northern portion — from Millington to Collierville — has been inished, although it remains designated Tenn.

385 pending completion of other components of the loop.

The segment opened Friday will be the irst to carry traic along the southern I-269 loop extending south from Collierville to near Byhalia, then swinging westward to Hernando, where it will connect with I-55/69.

In all, there are eight I-269 segments in Mississippi that are expected to cost a total of about $665 million, said Jason Scott, public information oicer for the Mississippi Department of Transportation.

The other seven segments are all more than 50 percent complete, although no paving has begun. “We’re still doing bridge work, dirt work and drainage,” Scott said.

Completion of all the Mississippi segments is expected by fall of 2018.

The expansion at Riverdale Elementary in Germantown has generated its share of furrowed brows. Oct. 21, most of the wrinkles were gone or turned into smiles as the irst schematic drawings of the inside and out tilted and danced in a 3-D spin across an overhead screen.

No one clapped, but the nods and grins summed up the mood.

“I’m thrilled with everything,” said parent Amy Lipscomb.

Long after the school board had moved onto the next agenda item, she and a knot of other parents clustered around A2H architect Stewart Smith, peppering him with questions about hallways and the number of restrooms for each pod of classes.

The $12 million expansion, which includes a gym with pulldown bleachers for 500, plus classrooms configured to grade level and subject matter, could be under construction by spring and inished a year later.

The expansion will serve as the new front of Riverdale Elementary, which almost from the beginning has functioned with a stack of portable units in the back.

Traic will enter of Miller Farms Road, curving past the gym and classroom wings on either side of a boulevard, allowing parents to cut in half the time they spend in line during arrival and de-

parture. School bus trafic will wind up the north side and drop students of at a second entrance.

The front door will be tucked amid bio-swales, wild grasses planted in rock and gravel to absorb rain runof and reduce mowing and maintenance.

The exterior of the classroom wings will be glass, looding the classrooms with natural light.

Southern-exposed outside walls will have overhangs to eliminate glare and heat.

There will be no heating or cooling units on the rooftop, saving on future roof repairs and 30 percent on heating and cooling expense. The looring will be either an antimicrobial carpet, low pile or an organic tile loor. Neither will require strong chemicals for cleaning.

“What I think is really neat is that with the existing building, we have not had the ability to have our music and art classes together in one area. With this, we do,” said principal Joseph Bond.

“One feature about the

art room, there will be a roll-up garage-style door, so the teacher can take the whole class outside to work,” he said.

Hallways will be pushed out to the outside glass facade so light streams across them.

Lockers will be congregated in common areas, instead of lining corridors. In the interest of space, some classrooms will have movable walls that allow classes to spill out into the sunlit halls.

“I love the natural light,” parent Josh Malahy said after the formal presentation. “I like the way they have incorporated some alternative classroom space in either the corridor or outside. I

like the environmental landscaping with the bioswales. It seems functional and not just aesthetic.”

Germantown — the school board and community — worked long to arrive at building materials and systems that will be eicient over time, but also speak to the character of the city.

“Shelby County built schools out of cinder block and they all looked the same,” said Supt. Jason Manuel. “We wanted our new schools to relect the feel of this community.

Some parents would like to see the gym space enlarged to ease crowding for city league teams.

Through the summer and early fall, it wasn’t clear what the district would build. Plans were discussed for a new elementary, a gymnasium addition at Houston High and the Riverdale project. In late September, the board approved a $12 million budget for Riverdale, which includes all new furnishings plus $1 million contingency to cover possible overruns.

Shelby County graduation rate on the rise Even without suburban schools

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

Despite losing ive suburban high schools to the formation of the municipal districts, Shelby County Schools’ on-time graduation rate ticked upward last year.

The rate increased from 74.6 percent to 75 percent. The average district ACT score dropped, however, from 17.7 to 16.9.

The state released the numbers Thursday as part of annual report card data. Statewide, the graduation rate also increased, from 87.2 percent to 87.8 percent.

Metro Nashville schools’ graduation rate rose three points to 81.6 percent.

With the municipal districts breaking away last year, and legacy Shelby County and Memphis City schools merging the year before that, comparing year-to-

year data can be an apples-tooranges comparison. But three years ago, Memphis City Schools — perhaps the closest recent comparison demographically to current SCS — had a graduation rate of 67.6 percent for the 2012-13 school year.

As part of its Destination 2025 plan, SCS has a goal of a 90 percent graduation rate by the year 2025.

In a news conference at Hollis F. Price Middle College High on Thursday morning, chief academic oicer Heidi Ramirez said the plan sets benchmarks for the district to hit each year to be able to reach that goal. The benchmark graduation rate for last school year was 74 percent.

“What today confirms is when we set clear, consistent and ambitious goals for our children focused on student learning, when we support our teachers, our coaches, our principals and other staf, and we actively engage communities in this work, we can not only meet, but we beat our goals,”

Ramirez said.

She attributed the increase to improved identiication of students who are missing credits or otherwise unlikely to graduate on time, and targeting them for intervention and support.

Hollis F. Price and Middle College High School were the only two schools with a 100 percent graduation rate. Both are choice schools that ofer dual enrollment in college courses.

Twenty schools had graduation rates over 80 percent. But on the other end of the spectrum, Northside High came in at the bottom with only 44.2 percent of the class of 2015 graduating.

In the ive municipal districts with a high school, Arlington had the highest on-time graduation rate at 95.4 percent. Collierville came in second with 91.3 percent, followed by Germantown with 89.5 percent. Bartlett had an 85.5 percent graduation rate and Millington’s was 84.1 percent.

Among the municipal districts with the most students scoring

“Certainly we have progress to make,” she said.

Ramirez also said she has not looked at how struggling schools leaving SCS due to state takeover by the Achievement School District could have afected the data.

But the ASD only took over two high schools last year, Fairley and Frayser — now called Martin Luther King Jr. Collegiate Preparatory High School — and they had graduation rates of 75.7 percent and 52 percent, respectively.

Margo Roen, the ASD’s chief of new schools and accountability, noted the state’s report card measures graduation rate as the percentage of students who entered the school as freshmen and graduated within four years.

She said the ASD has focused on helping students who were behind to catch up. Without the four-year parameter, the graduation rates for the two schools are 92 percent at Fairley and 78 percent at MLK prep.

21 on the ACT, making them eligible for the state Hope Lottery Scholarship, Germantown had the highest percentage with 74.4 percent. Collierville was close behind with 73.1 percent. But from there, the numbers drop precipitously. In Arlington, 53.6 percent of graduates qualiied for the scholarship, followed by 44 percent in Bartlett and 25.6 percent in Millington. Just 25.4 percent of SCS students qualiied.

The report card data also shows a shift in demographics as a result of the suburban schools splitting away from the county system. The percentage of African-American students in SCS increased from 67.6 percent to 78.4 percent. Also, a larger percentage of the students now are economically disadvantaged, increasing from 68.9 percent to 79.8 percent.

On the lower ACT score average, Ramirez did not attribute the decline to the departure of ive suburban high schools forming the district, but said SCS administrators were still digging into the data.

Don Furr brings replica DeLorean in celebration of ‘Back to the Future’ Day

By Matt Woo woo@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6453

When Don Furr talks about the movie “Back to the Future,” he doesn’t mind being called a “fanatic.”

Since the 1980s classic made its big screen debut 30 years ago, Furr has owned and restored three DeLoreans vehicles, the same model cars made famous in the “Back to the Future” trilogy.

On Oct. 21, in celebration of “Back to the Future” Day, Furr drove his replica DeLorean to the JC Penny parking lot — just like movie charac-

ters Marty McFly and Dr. Emmit Brown did before sending the dog Einstein to the future — for a nighttime photo shoot at Wolfchase.

Furr’s DeLorean is near movie-perfect, and Furr used photographs taken from movie stills to accurately design the car. After purchasing the DeLorean from a seller in Spokane, Wash., it took about six months for Furr to rebuild the car.

“It’s got everything — a lux capacitor, a Mr. Fusion, all the things,” Furr said.

In addition to being almost an exact replica, Furr said the nine mounts

used on the sides, top and back of the car are pieces pulled from molds from the original movie. Several actors and crew from the “Back to the Future” movies have signed the car’s dashboard.

Even though Furr sold his other two DeLoreans, don’t expect him to sell his newest one any time soon.

“I’m afraid that if I sold that car my grandchildren would disown me,” he said.

Aside from being a fan of the movie, Furr also has a personal connection to “Back to the Future;” it was the irst movie he and his wife, Karen, went

to on their irst date.

Despite being more than 30 years old, Furr said the car, which he bought for $18,000, was in “excellent shape” and has been driven less than 24,000 miles. When DeLoreans were irst manufactured in the early 1980s, about 9,000 were made. Today, Furr said there are less than 2,000 still on the road.

For next year’s “Back to the Future Day,” Furr already has big plans in the works.

Furr said he hopes to reenact the famous DeLorean car chase scene through Wolfchase JC Penny parking lot.

Sports Football roundup

(6) WHITE STATION 38, GERMANTOWN 0

Spartans keep pace in region, beat Red Devils Defense shines for White Station

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

With an ofense that averages more than 400 yards per contest, it would be easy to overlook the White Station defense. Easy, but a big mistake.

The Spartans — ranked sixth in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen — got a terriic defensive efort and (ho-hum) three touchdown catches from Dillon Mitchell to defeat Germantown, 38-0, Friday at the Fairgrounds.

White Station improves to 6-3 overall and 5-1 in Region 4-6A to keep pace with Whitehaven and Cordova, both of which also won on Friday.

“It may sound like coachtalk but I don’t overlook them,” said Spartans coach Joe Rocconi. “There may be some but we don’t listen to them anyway. Any time you can get a shutout in this league ... I’m proud of our guys.”

The Spartans held the Red Devils (4-5, 3-3) to 98 yards, including just 43 on the ground.

“It starts with the defensive line,” said defensive back Myles Baker, who blanketed Germantown’s Rodney Williams throughout the game and made a touchdown-saving delection in the second quarter to snuf out the Red Devils’ best threat of the night.

“Our pass coverage is nothing without the defensive

line. I think we are (overlooked) because of the numbers we put up (ofensively) but we’re not worried about that. We don’t worry about the numbers or the rankings, one of that.”

While the Spartans were thwarting the Red Devils at every turn, Mitchell was making the spectacular look routine. He caught eight passes for 156 yards and scored on receptions of 27, 29 and 51 yards.

And — in a recurring theme this season — he had two touchdowns called back, both of which came in the irst two minutes of the game.

“We had a little adversity in the irst quarter but I’m not going to talk about that,” Rocconi said.

Mitchell — who is headed to Oregon — capped a 46-yard opening drive by catching a pass from Burk Williams. On the drive that followed Baker’s big defensive play, he took a little screen pass from Williams and tight-roped down the right sideline to make it 17-0 at halftime.

Germantown fumbled on its irst drive of the third quarter and Mitchell made them pay, hauling in a 51-yard touchdown despite the best eforts of Red Devils’ defensive back Anterrious Branch.

The Spartans extended their lead to 32-0 on the next possession when John Lyons blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone. Williams capped a 279-yards night with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Ty Woods in the fourth.

Harding, Briarcrest fall in championship Houston finishes fourth in Class AAA

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

Even with the combined forces of the Memphis volleyball community behind them, Harding just didn’t have quite enough to win the state title Friday.

Knoxville Webb captured the Division 2-A championship Friday in Murfreesboro, defeating the Lions 25-17, 25-14, 25-21.

Playing the irst match of the day at the Murphy Center, Harding (40-8) had plenty of support with players and fans from Briarcrest, Houston and White Station — which played in the AAA tournament — augmenting the

student section. “1/3 Lions, 1/3 Briarcrest, 1/3 White Station and 100 % Memphis,� was how the Harding Twitter feed put it. But it wasn’t enough to prevent Webb from winning the title for the third straight year.

Antoinette Lewis put down six kills to lead the Harding ofense while Lauren Deaton chipped in with ive. Deaton also had 13 digs while Katie Short added nine digs and three blocks. In D2-AA, the fourth time was the charm for Father Ryan as they won the championship with a 25-22, 23-25, 25-16, 25-21 victory over Briarcrest. The teams had played three previous times this year with the Saints (45-5) winning all three. “If we had played to 85 percent of what we’d done all year we’d

be coming home state champions,� said Saints coach Carla Anderton. “We had some indi-

viduals that played up to their potential but as a team we didn’t.

I think we’re all a little shocked;

it’s not the ending we wanted.�

Kendal Strand had 20 kills to pace the Saints while freshman Alyiah Wells added 12. Callie Anderton had 44 assists while Hannah Cox paced the defense with 26 digs.

In AAA, Houston battled through the loser’s bracket to reach the semis before falling.

The Mustangs — who won a late match against Ooltewah on Wednesday to stave of elimination — started the day with a 25-21, 25-23, 25-19 victory over Knoxville Bearden. They then fell in ive to Farragut (losing the inal game 15-13) to end their ninth trip to state in 10 years with a fourth-place inish. “My girls are awesome and played their hearts out,� Mustangs coach Becky Pendleton tweeted after the match.

Reserve punches Dragons’ ticket to state

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

Collierville QB Matt Connors looks upfield as he breaks a tackle during Friday’s home game with Whitehaven. The top-ranked Tigers defeated the Dragons 29-6.

Dragons fall to Tigers Collierville players signal that the Dragons have the ball during Friday’s game with Whitehaven.

This Friday the Dragons play at Bartlett.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ROGERCOTTON.COM

Maybe it was the memory of her close friend, Collierville student Grant Roberson, who died last week after sufering injuries in a car accident.

Or maybe it was just the fresh legs. But whatever it was, Olivia Czosek made the most of her opportunity Saturday.

Czosek — a little-used sophomore — scored the only goal of the game in the inal minute of play as the Dragons advanced to next week’s AAA state soccer tournament with a dramatic 1-0 victory over host Arlington. “I was so confident,�

Czosek said. “I’ve been waiting for my time to come, waiting all season long and I’m just so happy.�

With Collierville (144-1) creating chance after chance in the second half — but not scoring — coach Brittany Streger reached down deep in her bench to send Czosek on with about 15 minutes to go in the game with the words “I’m taking a chance with you.�

And it paid of spectacularly as Czosek ran on to a nice cross from Elizabeth Slavinsky and buried it. “In warm-ups, all my shots were going over (the goal),� she said. “So I told myself, ‘You’ve got to get over this ball.’ �

Said Streger, “We were struggling on the ield so I said, ‘Why not? Let’s go get this done.’ And she did it. “It was beyond frustrating. We talked to them in practice about doing the things we needed to do, and if we had done them

the whole time ...�

A lot of Collierville’s frustration in front of goal was because of Arlington goalkeeper Ashton Shields, who made some terriic saves to keep it scoreless, including a great diving stop in the irst half to deny Slavinsky and another in the second half to turn away Kate Johnson.

Czosek’s winner was the highlight on a big Saturday for local soccer, as three other teams from Shelby County qualiied for the state tournament.

The Dragons will be joined in the AAA tournament by Houston, which had no trouble with Bartlett in the other sectional, winning 6-0. The Mustangs (19-0-0) will be playing for their second title since 2003.

Briarcrest (16-2-1) advanced to the Division

2-AA tournament, defeating Nashville Father Ryan 1-0. Ashton Pugh’s secondhalf winner gave the Saints the victory.

St. Agnes was eliminated with a 1-0 loss to Nashville Ensworth.

In D2-A, ECS advanced with an impressive 4-0 victory on the road against Knoxville Webb. The Eagles — who inished third in the West Region — got goals from Lee Ellen Stanley, Graham Sippel, Ally Ellzey and Maddy Stolnicki.

ECS will be joined in Murfreesboro by St. George’s, which defeated Franklin Road Academy 2-1 on Friday thanks to a pair of Sydney Brown goals.

Memphis’ other D2-A hopeful, St. Mary’s, lost at Battle Ground Academy, 3-1.

Schools BRIARCREST

For two days, Collierville High students worked to address the erosion problem at the school and created a more environmentally friendly and functional outdoor classroom.

Athletic Hall of Fame inductees recognized

By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

COLLIERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

Students help outdoor classroom Special to The Weekly

On Oct. 8, Eboni Leake’s AP and physical science students at Collierville High School took action against the erosion problems and overall functionality of their outdoor classroom.

The existing classroom, consisting of a wooden stage and benches, was practically unusable due to the severe erosion around the benches, and the area did not have any plants or trees for shade or to attract wildlife.

For two days, 140 students volunteered to help

improve the outdoor classroom. Leake’s class took on the task as a service project, however, students from outside the class volunteered their time, as well.

Students worked together to ill eroded areas with soil, install geotextile (permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage) and place mulch around the benches and the stage, construct a raised bed for a butterfly garden, create two rain gardens with native plants and plant groupings of native trees and shrubs.

The students were joined by the Wolf River Conservancy and the town’s engineering division to develop and implement a plan to address the erosion problem and enhance the area with native plants.

The town’s public services department also contributed to the project by digging and preparing the rain gardens and delivering mulch, soil and compost.

Plants and materials were purchased through the 5 Star Urban Waters Restoration Grant, awarded to the town in August.

Pupils raise funds for Le Bonheur Special to The Weekly

Crowds of Collierville students gathered outside their schools Sept. 17 to cheer on News Channel 3 meteorologist, Jim Jaggers, as he and fellow cyclists rode to each school.

This trek through Collierville, part of the “Go Jim Go” campaign, was to collect donations raised by the students for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

“Every year, Collierville Schools raise more money than they did the year before, well over $1,000 each,” Jaggers said.

News Channel 3 meteorologist Jim Jaggers rode through Collierville for his “Go Jim Go” campaign. Collierville Mayor Stan Joyer was on hand to welcome Jaggers to Collierville.

“Crosswind Elementary alone raised $7,600.”

This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Go Jim Go” where Jaggers rides his bike 333 miles

across the Mid-South to raise money for the children at Le Bonheur.

The campaign has raised more than $1 million over the past decade.

The Briarcrest Athletic Hall of Fame was established to recognize the various coaches, administrators, athletes, and friends who have contributed to the overall outstanding nature of the BCS athletic program. This year’s recipients are: Julie Rose Knowles, class of 1998, was a varsity girls basketball point guard and soccer forward player.

She started in the eighth grade at Briarcrest and was a four-year starter in both sports in high school. She was the school’s all-time assist leader in basketball and her team went 33-0 her senior year, winning Briarcrest’s irst state championship in girls basketball.

She was selected to play in the All-Star game for the state in both basketball and soccer in 1998.

Knowles received Best of the Preps, All Region, All Metro, All Tournament and Super Five awards throughout her career.

She was a Wendy’s High School Heisman nominee and named AA player of the year in 1997 and 1998.

In addition, she won the Female Athlete of the Year for private schools in 1998.

Brent Frayser, class of 2005, was actively involved with the football, basketball and baseball programs throughout his high school years. He served an equipment manager, statistician and coaches’ assistant under Hugh Freeze for football, Brian Stewart and Allen Pavette for baseball and John Harrington for basketball.

Frayser was a part of two football state championships in 2002 and 2004.

C’ville mayor, aldermen honor town employees Special to The Weekly

Town of Collierville employees were thanked by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen Sept. 23 for their continued commitment to keeping Collierville a safe and desirable community to live, work and play.

The town’s annual employee appreciation luncheon, held at the Collierville Community Center, brought together more than 400 employees for an hour of camaraderie and a chance for each department to win a prize.

Main Street Collierville director.

“Some of them go to work at four in the morning.”

While the town merchants had tables set up for employees, many of the crews picked up breakfast and hopped back in their trucks to get to work.

“We are so thankful for the hard work they do, we are happy for a chance to give back” commented Nancy Bassett, assistant director of the Museum of Biblical History.

On Oct. 16, the Main Street Business Alliance served breakfast to Town of Collierville public/general services and parks department crews.

Mayor Stan Joyner mentioned that Collierville is widely known across the state as a beautiful community that provides high levels of various services to its citizens and he always feels honored to represent the town.

“You (town employees) are the ones who deserve that credit,” Joyner said.

“For the safety of our community, the police and ire, and the beauty of the community, parks and public services, I feel humbled and have a great sense of pride for the work that you do.”

CPD earns second certificate of accreditation Special to The Weekly

On Oct. 1, assistant Chief of Police Jef Abeln represented the Collierville Police Department at the Tennessee Chiefs of Police meeting in Nashville.

He was there to accept the department’s second certificate of accreditation from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation commission.

“In order to maintain accredited status, agencies must provide annual documentation of continued compliance and undergo an on-site assessment every three years,” said Abeln. “The Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation Program was created under the direction and authority of the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police, which

supports and endorses the continued improvement of law enforcement and emergency communications services by establishing professional standards of accountability, management, and operations.”

The Collierville Police Department is one of only 26 law enforcement agencies in Tennessee to be accredited through the TLEA program. There are

375 law enforcement agencies in the state.

Recognition of state accreditation provides objective evidence of an agency’s commitment to providing the highest level of service possible to their community and the best management of their available resources.

The TLEA commended the CPD for maintaining these objectives.

that something’s blooming, showing great foliage, producing attractive berries or having compelling structure throughout the growing seasons.

Even before he attended the symposium, Chris Cosby had taken steps to make some major changes in the display beds at Memphis Botanic Garden, where he is senior manager of gardens.

Instead of focusing on beds planted in “carpeted” patterns with colorful annuals, the staf will begin a more dynamic method of mixing shrubs, trees and perennials with annuals in beds that change throughout the seasons.

“Having lots of plants serving as supporting players gives us the opportunity to experiment with new plant materials,” Cosby said. “It will also require more collaboration among our ground troops.”

He expects the new dis-

play beds to require about the same amount of work as the traditional carpets of annuals. But the labor will be spread throughout the season rather than concentrated at planting time and at midseason, when flowers are typically sheared of to ensure vibrant blooms from late summer through fall.

Every garden experiences peaks and troughs throughout the year, Garrett said. Our job as gardeners is to lift those troughs as high as we can.

Local “Dixterite” Linda Smith got to know Garrett and Bertelson during her frequent trips to the estate to attend seminars and to volunteer in its gardens.

Last week, she hosted them in her East Memphis home and also took them to visit her new house near Overton Park where she and her husband are planning to move. Garrett sketched out a design for

the compact garden.

“Our new house is more formal, so Fergus helped me see I can have a beautiful garden without planting a single lower,” said Smith, who is used to having lots of perennials and blooming shrubs. “He showed me how to make a hedge more romantic.”

Despite having given presentations on Dixter’s gardens many times, Fergus still exudes passion and enthusiasm for it when he eloquently describes its details and nuances.

“Don’t worry about making gardening mistakes and don’t let other people dictate to you,” he said.

It’s an injustice to break down their talks into tidbits but since newspaper space is precious and my notes are scanty, here goes: ■ “Plants are more powerful for having the right neighbors, so we are always thinking about com-

panions. Choose a plant you like and then choose companions for each side that are diferent in texture. We’re anti-mass plantings.”

■ Plants should be interlocked so they “dance” together. Choose bold plants such as tall yellow verbascums to “punctuate” the garden.

■ Christopher Lloyd wanted excitement in the garden, a tradition that continues today. You may seek harmony and subtlety in yours.

■ Plants should work in their of season. Brown can be an important color in the garden during the winter. But too much of it at other times weighs the garden down.

■ Go easy on bulbs because they can smother the perennials that emerge later. At Dixter, tulips and other bulbs are dotted here and there among low growing plants that bloom at the same time.

■ Plants that self-sow are useful in the garden but must be managed to keep them from running rampant. Instead of using mulch to suppress them, Dixter gardeners hoe out the first germinations.

The second crop is usually more sparse.

■ Three varieties of potatoes are grown at Dixter: Picasso for baking; pink ir apple for boiling and Charlotte, an early salad variety with yellow lesh.

■ Christopher Lloyd and his family kept dachshunds at Dixter and so does Bertelsen. He uses the long and low dogs to burrow into the massive compost piles, freeing the rich black soil enhancer at the bottom. Since they were bred to lush badgers from their burrows, the task is natural to them.

G’town road plan gets stif reaction Opposition crowd is vocal

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

Germantown officials left a public hearing Thursday night with angry comments echoing in their heads after residents heard about plans to realign Germantown Road and West Street in the historic park of town.

Dr. Donald Goldstein, whose dental oice is in the area that would be condemned for the new intersection, spoke irst.

“I think there is lot of better ways to do this,” he said to council chambers packed with residents. “I am concerned about my investment I have made over the last 18 years in the shopping center. I am concerned about the impact on my business, my family, the relocation costs and making sure I will be compensated fairly. I fear I won’t be.”

The damage to business from construction, he said, would be “much greater than any impact as far as convenience.”

The city proposes moving Germantown Road to the west, intersecting with West Street at North Street. About seven businesses would be demolished in the project. The idea is to move traic lowing through the city to the five-lane Germantown Road and move slower traic, including pedestrians and bicyclists, to the narrower West, which

would meander through blocks zoned for Smart Growth retail.

Ninety percent of the $5.1 million project, including the costs of purchasing rights of way, would be covered by federal and state funds the city has already been approved to receive. Construction would begin in 2017 and last about a year.

Comments against the project ran about 3-to-1 Thursday, the irst hearing on a project that has been on the back burner since 2007.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton stressed the public would have an opportunity to comment in the future as elected oficials make decisions that could advance the project.

Several asked why the public couldn’t vote on the project.

Lawton said he would have to confer with city attorney on the people’s right to a referendum.

“How did it get this far without anyone knowing?” one resident asked.

“This was discussed last year as the Board of Mayor and Aldermen discussed the city budget,” Lawton said. “This has not been done in a vacuum. ...

To say this is a done deal and moving forward is simply not true.”

The city budget for this year includes money to buy slightly more than an acre where the intersection is slated to be built.

City budgets over the next two years would include the rest.

“Is it being built for citizens of Germantown, or is it being built for the

people who want to pass through Germantown quickly?” asked Bill Strong to cheers and applause.

The quicker in-and-out would make it easier “for the questionable element in Cordova and Hickory Hill to quickly get out of town,” he said to more applause.

The purpose of the hearing was to gather comment on the environmental impact survey, which showed no measurable impact on air pollution or watershed area. City stafers did not respond to questions from citizens, but promised they would receive written responses to their questions at the end of the two-week comment period.

The decision to move forward will ultimately be made by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Lawton encouraged citizens to make their feelings known.

“This is how we gather public input. This is part of the decision-making process. I can tell you these publicly elected oficials are listening carefully.”

The board will discuss the issue in a work session to be scheduled later. The city will also hold another public meeting to gather more comments.

Residents who contacted Alderman Rocky Janda before the hearing were split 50-50, Janda said. Those who contacted Alderman John Barzizza were overwhelmingly against, at least 40-to-1, Barzizza said.

“They’re people that want Germantown to keep its charm. I’m one of them.”
