Fathers take lead Dads buck tradition and lead daughters’ Girl Scout troop

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

T

wo Collierville dads are not letting the traditional roles for men and women come between them and time with their daughters.

Mark Prater, a systems engineer, is father of 8-year-old Lori Prater.

Clif Williams, a senior sales analyst for FedEx, is father of 9-year-old Zoe Williams.

These dads do something very few do: They lead their daughters’ Girl Scout troop.

“I have three sons,” said 44-year-old Prater, who once scored six touchdowns for Memphis Catholic in one game. “And

I’m always doing athletic stuf, coaching basketball and Cub Scouts. At the time, I didn’t have anything to do with my daughter. I felt it was just as important to spend time with my daughter and teach her how to become a productive citizen also.”

But all 21 girls in the troop beneit, especially ones from single-parent homes led by mothers, said Williams, 41.

“I think there’s an advantage, especially for those girls who are part of a singleparent home where the mother is the only parent in their life,” he said. “I think Mark and I provide them with some sort of role model.”

The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen set aside time during their June 9 regular meeting to show their appreciation to assistant chief of police David Tillner for 25 years of dedicated service.

Chief of Police Larry Goodwin had the honor of presenting Tillner with his 25-year service pin and Distinguished Service Medal.

Chief Goodwin presented the pin and medal while stating, “It is with great pleasure I present this award to a 25year veteran of the Collierville Police Department for distinguished service and commitment.”

Prior to joining the CPD ranks, Tillner served as an active duty member of the United States Marine Corps.

His tours of duty included an assignment with the White House Oval Oice Detail for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush where he was awarded the Presidential Service Badge.

Tillner began his law enforcement career with the Collierville Police Department in June 1989. As a patrolman, he served the department as a SWAT team member, ield training oicer, crisis intervention team oicer and as a member of the traic unit.

In 1992, he was reassigned to the detective division as an investigator where he served for ive years, then was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1997 and served as a ield commander and the traic unit commander in two divisional assignments.

Samuel V. Shaw, Sr., 89, has that light that shines from within.

He and his bride of 63 years, Retta, moved to Germantown Plantation Senior Living to be near one of their sons, wellknown minister, Sam Shaw. They moved here from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where another son and daughter still reside.

Shaw spent many years working in the oil industry in Oklahoma, as a pur-

chasing agent. He never thought much about trying his hand at creative arts until his retirement.

Then he noticed a class ofered at a local stained glass company and decided to attend. He enjoyed the class very much and was so successful at stain glass that the company hired him immediately.

Not only did he have a successful second career ofering beautiful stained glass windows and doors to churches, businesses and homeowners, but he was able to let his light shine as he created beautiful works for friends and family.

In the News WOLF RIVER

Tech promoter identified as kayaking fatality

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

Family members and co-workers identiied the man who died in a kayak accident on the Wolf River near Germantown Saturday as David Barger Jr., chief executive oicer of LunaWeb. Authorities had not released the victim’s identity by Monday afternoon, but Barger’s wife, Maurrean Barger, and Steve Phipps, vice president of LunaWeb, conirmed Barger’s death.

Barger, 50, was instrumental in raising the proile of the lo-

cal tech community. “He’s one of the best people I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with,” Phipps said.

According to authorities at the scene Saturday, Barger was part of a family outing, kayaking west along the Wolf River, which skirts Germantown’s northern border.

Family members lost sight of him about 2:15 p.m. near the Germantown Road bridge and scrambled out of the river looking for help.

A medical helicopter in the area provided aerial support and Barger was located near Kirby Road and Humphreys Boulevard.

He was transported to Baptist

Germantown Police report

Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

His wife said he had about six months’ kayaking experience before the accident. The David family will hold a Barger Jr. public service at Calvary Church in Cordova on Thursday at 3 p.m. in addition to a private service at their Fayette County home.

The couple have two daughters, Savannah, 11, and Celeste, 9.

A scholarship for the girls will be set up in honor of her husband,

Barger said.

The Bargers lived in the Memphis area for more than 20 years, and he organized monthly events for local companies to learn how technology could help their businesses.

“He was very generous with his time and his energy,” Maurrean Barger said. “I used to call him the godfather of social media.”

A 2012 proile of Barger by The Commercial Appeal described his launch of GeekMemphis, a group that staged forums, workshops and networking events.

He also rebranded Social Expe-

dition, a technology and social media group, to Interactive Expedition. Barger said at the time he wanted “to raise the tech tide in Memphis.”

“For 20 years I’ve been hearing that Memphis is behind other cities in regard to technology issues, and I’m tired of it. Now is the time to make a change,” he said.

“He wanted to see Memphis continue to grow and get better,” Phipps said of Barger. “He had a heart for wanting to see people do well.”

Maurrean Barger said she and Phipps will take over the company.

Donor Fest Donors recognized at Lifeblood event, try to form largest human blood drop

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

When the United States was attacked on Sept. 11 2001, Lakeland resident Guion Magee and his family wanted to ind a way to help.

Magee and his brother and sister-in-law decided to give blood.

Almost 13 years later, Magee, 75, is still donating regularly. He’s given more than nine gallons of blood.

“I always say, ‘Well, it’s the thing to do,’” Magee said.

Magee was one of hundreds of donors invited to Lifeblood’s Donor Fest celebration at St. Benedict at Auburndale High School in Cordova on June 14. Donor Fest is a weekslong blood drive that ends on July 3.

Lifeblood, based in Memphis, collects and distributes blood to hospitals in Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi.

Last Saturday’s event, which fell on World Blood Donor Day, included free breakfast for donors

He was promoted to the rank of captain in 2000 and served as division commander for staf services, uniform patrol division and the criminal investigations division for 10 years.

Tillner was promoted to his current rank in 2010. A graduate of the FBI National Academy 208th session, he is a member of several professional organizations. His career with CPD has also included charitable fundraising eforts for Tennessee Special Olympics and the Collierville Education Foundation as the coordinator of the Law Enforcement Torch Run and the CPD Classic Car and Bike Show.

Following the presentation, Tillner commented,” I’ve looked forward to coming to work every day of my career, it is a privilege and honor to serve the citizens of Collierville.”

The Memphis-based Heart of the South Girl Scouts Council encompasses 59 counties in West Tennessee, North Mississippi and Crittenden County in Arkansas.

Prater and Williams are among six men out of the council’s 906 troop leaders.

Prater’s involvement started three years ago.

He attended a meeting to gauge the interest of parents in forming a new Scout troop that would meet at the Collierville Church of Christ.

He and a mom volunteered to be co-leaders.

But when the woman moved out of town two years ago, Williams took her place.

The troop meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Fridays during the school year.

The girls wear typical uniforms, though there is no equivalent for the male leaders.

and their families and an attempt to create the largest human blood drop in the United States. Participants all dressed in red shirts stood on the football ield in the shape of a drop of blood.

Lifeblood CEO Susan BerryBuckley said this event marked the ifth annual Donor Fest but the irst attempt to form a human blood drop.

She said the record in the United States was 349 people. Saturday’s event drew close to 200, but Berry-Buckley said it was still a success.

“People were really appreciative of the celebration,” she said.

The event also recognized the 343 donors who have given blood six times since last year’s Donor Fest. Donors are only able to give blood every 56 days.

Berry-Buckley said blood has a shelf-life of only 42 days, so it’s important to keep the low of donations coming.

“We have a race (for) which there is never a inish line,” she said. “Because we always need to

have donors step up.”

Platelets, which donors can also give separately from the standard blood donation, have a shelf-life of only ive days. Berry-Buckley said an ideal supply would be 300 donors per day, but they rarely hit that number. Blood type O-negative is in particularly high demand, she said, as there is currently a shortage and it can be used to treat any patient.

Lifeblood volunteer Erskine Gillespie knows irsthand the importance of blood donors. The Memphis resident received transfusions with a liver transplant 19 years ago and now works for the Mid-South Transplant Foundation.

“I was one of those people who was given seven days to live,” Gillespie said. “And I got my liver on the seventh day.”

He said it’s emotional to see all the people who recognize the importance of donation and give blood so frequently.

“Had it not been for these people giving, I could have been one of those people not here right now,” he said.

She (Lori) wants me to be with her during everything we have. I’m happy she feels that way.”

Mark Prater, Lori Prater’s father and Girl Scout troop leader

A check of girlscoutshop.com shows that all the adult Girl Scout clothing, except a couple of neckties, are for women.

Prater and Williams improvise: They wear white shirts and khaki pants to the meetings.

The men follow a Scout meeting curriculum that includes activities that earn badges for the girls.

The troop sold more than 5,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year.

It plants U.S. lags at the West Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery every Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The girls also help at the Collierville Animal Shelter and Collierville Food Pantry.

The girls do camp out, but that’s when the two fathers step back.

“When our troop does our own camping, we are able to be there, but we’re not there unless there are other mothers or adult females,” Williams said.

When asked what he would be doing on Friday nights if he was not leading Scout meetings, Prater responded that he’d “probably be at home watching TV or at the gym at Lifetime Fitness.”

Williams said he also would be at home, but he would be doing something with Zoe. “She’s a huge demander of my time,” he said. “I’d be riding bikes with her or playing games with her or taking her somewhere.”

Lori and Zoe like that their fathers lead their troop, even if their reasonings aren’t so predict-

able.

Zoe likes that she and her father must arrive early for the meetings.

“I get to play with my friends before the Girl Scout meeting starts,” she said.

When asked if she was proud of her father, Zoe replied, “Yes, because I get to help him pick up stuf for Girl Scouts, and I get to help him get ready for Girl Scouts.”

Lori said her father is “great at leading the troop. ... He also treats people fair.”

A big payof for Prater is reading Lori’s facial expressions while everyone is reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or the Girl Scout Promise.

“I get to see the smile and delight on her face,” he said.

“A lot of times parents see their child is embarrassed (of them).

She’s the opposite. She wants me to be with her during everything we have. I’m happy she feels that way.”

A barricade situation last Saturday in Germantown began when the victim tried to retrieve her two dogs from the home of Susan B. Parker, who was keeping the pets, according to the aidavit of complaint in the case.

Parker allegedly struck the victim in the head two or three times with a gun before the woman escaped Parker’s property. Parker faces charges of attempted second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault in connection with the incident. Police inally took Parker into custody after a standof of almost six hours.

According to the aidavit against Parker, the victim went to the house at 1617 Holly Hill Cove to retrieve her dogs that Parker was keeping — along with other property — while the victim was separating from her husband. The woman opened Parker’s sliding-glass back door and called for the dogs.

The dogs came, but Parker ran toward the back door to confront the victim. The victim led the house with the dogs, heard two gunshots as she ran, then saw Parker “pointing a gun at her,” the aidavit states.

The victim became trapped at the fence, the document states, and Parker “grabbed one of her dogs by its ear and tried unsuccessfully to rip it out of her hands.”

Parker told the victim to get on the ground, then hit the woman on the head with the gun. According to police, Parker said: “If you ever come back here, I will blow your head of.”

In the News GERMANTOWN MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS

Board opts for self-insured plan for employees

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

Germantown Municipal School District Supt. Jason Manuel said June 11 that district employees will be ofered health insurance that may be cheaper than what they are ofered now through Shelby County Schools.

In a special called meeting, the school board voted unanimously to have a self-insured health care plan and to contract with Health Cost Solutions as a third-party insurer.

Manuel said the thirdparty group will contract with Cigna, which is what employees coming over from Shelby County Schools currently have, so no one will have to change doctors because of networks.

The city of Germantown also uses Health Cost Solutions, although the school district’s contract will be separate.

The board turned down an ofer to join the pool group with other school districts for health and dental insurance.

Board member Ken Hoover noted that the ixed cost for the selfinsured plan is about $350,000 above what it would cost to join the pool plan, adding that, “We’re going to spend a little bit more money, and we’re doing it for what we think are very good reasons.”

Manuel said while the ixed cost to the district will be higher, the district’s risk in the plan is much lower, resulting in lower claims costs. Manuel said he expects to make up the diference.

Director of operations Josh Cathey said the selffunded plan gives the district a chance to build up a reserve.

Final costs, he said, will depend on how many employees join the plan. The ive schools in the district last year had a total of 305 employees on the Shelby County health plan.

“We won’t know until after we do open enrollment,” Cathey said. “We’ve been doing all our projections based on 305 employees participating.”

Cathey said Germantown was the only district to put out its own request for health care bids.

“I think that at this point, it’s time for us to move forward to get to work so we can have the beneits package in place for our employees,” he said.

The board also approved a retirement plan option for classiied staf.

Those who will be coming into the Germantown district from Shelby County will stay with their deined-beneits retirement plan, which dictates how much an employee would receive after retirement.

New employees to the district will have to have a hybrid plan, which Manuel said is set up like a 401(k).

In a work session before the meeting, the board and administrators discussed revising the transfer student policy to clarify that students who live outside of Shelby County or outside of the state of Tennessee could be charged tuition.

The issue was not on the regular meeting agenda for a vote.

District hires brother of superintendent

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

The Germantown Municipal School District has hired Supt. Jason Manuel’s brother as the television studio engineer for Houston High School.

Jason Manuel said Rob Manuel was the only applicant, and the hiring fell within the boundaries of the district’s nepotism policy. The superintendent said he stayed out of the hiring process, which the high school’s principal controlled.

“I’m pretty transparent,” Jason Manuel said.

“I don’t have motivations that people don’t see. I just wanted to make sure

everybody knew what was happening and do it the right way.”

Last month, Manuel recommended the board alter its nepotism policy, and said publicly the change could result in his brother’s hiring, although he had not yet applied.

The board adopted a nepotism policy within its first month, before the superintendent was hired. The initial policy prohibited a relative of a board member or district administrator from having any job within the district.

A change, approved May 19 by a 4-1 vote, allowed the hiring of family members as long as they were not hired or supervised by their relative, and that the relationship was clear to the board at the time of the hire.

Both versions of the policy are within the Tennessee School Boards Association’s recommendations for designing a nepotism policy.

Board chairwoman Lisa Parker is comfortable the requirements were met when Rob Manuel was

hired.

“If there’s a qualiied candidate, I want the best,” Parker said.

The dissenting vote was from board member Ken Hoover, who said he felt the more lenient version of the policy was designed for more rural districts, and that in the Memphis area there are enough qualiied people for each job without hiring someone’s relative. Rob Manuel began working on the studio when the district took over the buildings a couple weeks ago.

Special to The Weekly

Germantown High School’s internationally recognized Fine Arts Department wrapped up the school year by presenting nearly $35,000 in scholarships and service awards to its most talented students at the annual GHS Fine Arts Banquet.

The event was held at The Great Hall and Conference Center. It signaled the perfect end to a school year that saw Germantown High’s art, band, choral, theater and television programs honored at the local, state, regional and national levels.

“Most of our students are with us their entire four years of high school,” said GHS ine arts department chairman Allison Rogers Long.

“To watch them learn about the arts is rewarding, but to see the mature, caring, responsible young adults they become is everything. We’ve been blessed with wonderful students.”

Long and GHS principal Barbara Harmon gave congratulatory remarks throughout the event. The evening’s most anticipated moment was the announcement of ine arts scholarship winners. Over the course of the evening, $34,100 in scholarships and service awards were presented to some of the brightest and most talented students at GHS.

Thespian Troupe No. 912 faculty sponsor and GHS ine arts teacher Kirie Walz made a special presentation at the banquet this year to announce the winner of the International Thespian Society Junior Scholarship. Each year the troupe selects one thespian in the junior class to receive a $4,000 scholarship.

This year Sydney Armstrong won the award. The money is designated to send the winning student to a three-week summer acting intensive at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

The Seth Matthew Rowan Sophomore Achievement Award is presented by the thespian troupe to a sophomore in the production class who exhibited the greatest potential and leadership qualities. Hayley Bardos won this prestigious award.

‘Exposed’ exhibit ofers look at lingerie

By Leanne Italie Associated Press

NEW YORK — From a 1770 corset to a 2014 braand-panty set in lacy stretch silk, the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology has put the focus on lingerie and ladies foundation garments in a new exhibition.

In about 70 pieces, “Exposed: A History of Lingerie” touches on the mechanics, marketing and cultural touchstones — hello Wonderbra! — that not only shape and adorn but also helped deine culture around the globe.

The exhibition, which spans the 1760s to present day, opened June 3 and runs through Nov. 15. A companion book will be released by Yale University Press this summer.

THE CORSET’S RISE AND FALL The corset’s proile was irst upped in the late Renaissance and remained popular in many forms through the early 20th century.

“It was a pretty essential element of fashionable dress for about 400 years,” said assistant curator Colleen Hill, who organized the exhibit.

The corset, which originated within aristocratic court culture and gradually spread throughout society, was all about a slender waist, she said. By the mid-18th century, the desired silhouette was an inverted cone, lifting the breasts with the help of stays crafted out of silk, whalebone or wood.

Decorative center busks were carved, painted and adorned with text or years. They were key in thrusting a woman’s posture upright to make the most of the shape the corset was intended to achieve, Hill said.

By the early 19th century, the corset still included a center busk but lacked all-around stays for a more softly structured it that still encased the body and kept a woman’s posture erect.

“It was important for women to have this correct posture,” Hill said. “It was essential for itting into your clothes, for decorum and for modesty.”

At the dawn of the 20th century, some corset makers continued to promote their wares as “healthy style,” but the designs remained “extremely restricting,” she said. Certain designs made a woman appear rigidly straight in front while resulting in a severely arched back.

By 1920, the corset had essentially become a girdle.

THE PEIGNOIR AND LOUNGEWEAR One late 19th-century article discovered by Hill said American women wore loungewear with a corset underneath while doing morning household chores or preparing for their day.

The corset under a peignoir “is something French women did not do,” she said. “I thought that was very interesting because some of these garments were meant to essentially be a reprieve from these really constricting foundation garments like the corset.”

By the early 20th century, Hill said, loungewear served more functions. The tea gown developed from the peignoir or dressing gown and was worn during 5 o’clock tea.

“It was something that a woman could wear within her home but you would greet your guests at home for tea in this garment, so you still wanted something really fashionable, as luxurious as you could aford, but it was something that could be worn without a corset. We don’t see tea gowns today.”

SEDUCTION AND EROTICISM The British company Agent Provocateur, founded in 1994 by Joseph Corre, the son of Vivienne Westwood, and his now ex-wife, Serena Rees, represents a turning point in lingerie’s modern history, Hill said. They opened their irst boutique in 1996.

A corset in silk and satin, circa 1898, from the M.A. Spencer Co.

“They were selling lingerie that was highly eroticized, things that were high end and beautifully made, so they’re classy yet they’re taking a cue from things like the old Frederick’s of Hollywood catalogs that are just really overtly erotic,” she said.

The evocative nature combined with highend craftsmanship ofered by Agent Provocateur led to a greater acceptance of eroticized undergarments and lingerie, Hill said. The company now operates boutiques around the world.

THE WONDERBRA Pre-Wonderbra, women looking for some help in the bust department relied on “gay deceivers,” an early 20th-century euphemism for falsies that could be placed inside bras, Hill said.

“Even some corsets from the 19th century have these kind of falsies built into them, so the idea of augmenting your natural breast size in some way is very old and probably impossible to trace all the way back,” she said.

Enter the Wonderbra, with its plunge, padding and pushup via underwire. According to some reports, the name was irst trademarked in the U.S. in 1955 but came out of Canada in 1939 as developed by Moses Nadler, founder of a corset company. It wasn’t until the early 1990s that the Wonderbra really took of, Hill said.

Sales were driven by a 1994 ad campaign that featured smiling model Eva Herzigova looking down at her breasts in a Wonderbra with the tag line: “Hello Boys.”

The popularity of the ad, including billboards, sent sales skyrocketing.

At one point demand exceeded supplies, Hill said.

“There’s an urban legend that when people saw these billboards on the street they would literally cause traic accidents,” she said.

Style, length of jeans depend on your individual work situation

CourTESy of ClArkS

Skinny leg jeans are worn shorter, often revealing sockless ankles.

larly in work situations.

I’m in real estate and I ind myself going to appointments more and more with a blazer and jeans and some nice brown shoes. I’m typically a 33/30, which is not that common a length. Many of the places will shorten the jeans for me, but even with this option I still don’t know the proper length, particularly with the variety of leg styles.

I usually try them on with dress shoes, but recently I like folding them up at the bottom (a trend). Do you think this is appropriate? And if not, what is the correct length(s)?

What matters is what works for you ... at your

A

age and in your line of work.

Obviously, diferent work environments call for diferent approaches. Dressing for work in real estate is not as formal as dressing for a corporate or other oice job. You sound knowledgeable enough to recognize what the acceptable options are in your ield.

These days everyone is wearing jeans a little shorter. Your two diferent ways to deal with the length are the new standard.

Either have them shortened or roll them. Each of these calls for a slightly diferent length.

If a man is having his jeans shortened with a inished hem, they should ideally be touching the shoe top with only a tiny break. The denim should not be stacking (that is, creasing because it is too long). This is the direction a somewhat traditional dresser might want to

take when wearing a blazer and nice brown shoes. It is dressier than the rolled bottoms; it is also a bit more mature looking.

But, for a younger guy who likes to follow the trend with more casual turned-up bottoms, the way to go is to fold them up with a couple of turns (so the selvage does not show and the underside of the fabric does).

This rolled look is worn shorter than the hemmed version so the ankle shows. It could be too informal for many business situations. If it is not quite right for your line of work but you like the look, you can certainly wear it for casual, social occasions.

A lot of guys like the shorter, rolled bottom so they can show of their socks or show that they are not wearing socks. These days, both funky socks and going sockless are very popular looks. You have the option of

wearing casual shoes such as driving shoes, moccasins, boat shoes, the new not-quite-asneaker-and-not-quite-a-dressshoe from Clark, loafers, or your dressier brown laced shoes.

Regarding the different widths for jeans, a slightly fuller leg needs to be a bit longer, but the newer (younger) look has a skinnier leg, and these are worn shorter. Another factor to consider: A lot depends on the wash of the denim — that is, the darker the denim, the more formal; the more washed or faded the jean (or if it is white), the more casual.

I like that you mentioned trying your jeans on with dress shoes. That shows you understand the basic premise: When you go shopping, if possible, wear to the store the type of shoe you will be wearing with the garment.

Families LIVING WITH CHILDREN

HEALTH

For families of kids fighting seizure disorders, cannabis treatment means move to Colorado

Steps can curb defiance, hostility

By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

the past few Q For months, our usually

Allie Swann rides in the family car in Colorado Springs, where the family moved so Allie could be treated with medical marijuana for her seizures. Before they relocated from Alabama, Allie was having up to 100 seizures per day, despite surgery to remove part of her brain and taking debilitating drugs.

‘Marijuana refugees’

By Dave Philipps The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colo.)

C

OLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.

— The Swann family moved from Alabama to Colorado last fall to try save their daughter’s life with marijuana. It appears to have worked. And in the process, the Swanns and others like them have changed laws across the country so more children can have the same chance.

Fourteen-year-old Allie Swann was having up to 100 seizures per day that years of treatments, including surgery to remove part of her brain, and debilitating drugs had not helped.

“She was on the same stuf they use for lethal injections in Alabama,” her father, Butch Swann, said. “It couldn’t go on.”

So they came to Colorado.

Like 115 other marijuana refugee families, as they call themselves, from 43 states, they left family, jobs and homes so they could try oil made from a special strain of cannabis that reportedly quelled the seizures in a handful of kids in Colorado Springs.

With federal laws making medical marijuana research nearly impossible, none of the oil’s healing properties have been scientiically veriied, and the families have sometimes been dismissed as desperate kooks.

Now, six months after the irst big group of children started using the oil, many families like the Swanns say they see remarkable improvements. A handful of families have returned home, some because of the strain of having uprooted to move here, others for other reasons.

For many of the kids, their seizures are dropping in number and intensity, and kids long lost to their medical conditions — or the powerful drugs used to treat them — are rediscovering the world.

News of the success has spread across the country, prompting the medical establishment to reassess cannabis and legislators to rewrite laws.

This spring, 18 traditionally conservative states, mostly in the South and Midwest, introduced medical marijuana bills

“It couldn’t go on,” Butch Swann said of his daughter’s constant seizures before the family uprooted so Allie could receive medical marijuana treatment. There are many such families in Colorado now, who refer to themselves as marijuana refugees.

narrowly tailored to epileptic children. Seven have been made law, including in Mississippi, with several more close to passing.

The Tennessee Legislature last year approved a bill allowing for controlled production of cannabis oil, an extract of marijuana plants, and four years of clinical studies by Tennessee’s medical colleges of its use as a treatment for intractable seizures.

The bill’s House sponsor, Rep. Mike Carter, R-Chattanooga, said Tennessee will be the only state in the nation that provides for both the production of the oil, under federal guidelines, and for the study on its eicacy as a treatment. It is against federal law to transport the oil. Under the state law, the oil must contain less than ninetenths of one percent tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and it will be produced at Tennessee Tech University.

“We want to make sure that everyone who wants to participate in this program can so we get the widest possible results,” Carter said. Physicians across the state with patients who want to participate in the study will have to enroll with one of the state’s medical schools — the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College in Nashville, and East Tennessee State University in Johnson City.

At the end of the study, results will be reported to the state Department of Health and to the Legislature.

“There are an awful lot of people across Tennessee, both young and old, who are very interested in this potential treatment,” Carter told a legislative committee last month. “The an-

ecdotal evidence from what I’ve heard is it is an amazing result.

My greatest fear is that it won’t work because there are parents and grandparents who are really putting their hearts and souls into hoping this works. But I’m here to ind the truth and if it works, that’s great.”

Butch Swann spoke repeatedly to radio and TV stations in Alabama about how the oil, which cannot get users high, has helped his daughter and could help thousands of others in the state. State legislators approved a bill giving children access to the oil unanimously.

“I hope this Alabama-led medical study can bring relief to children,” Alabama’s governor said at the signing.

Butch Swann laughs when asked about it.

“I wouldn’t have thought in a million years Alabama would pass medical marijuana in any form,” he said.

Maybe soon, he said, his family can return to Alabama. But in the meantime, he is enjoying a new life with his daughter.

Allie, who has the mental capacity of a 3-year-old, used to ly into rages daily, screaming for hours and biting her hands until they bled. Now she has a new air of calm contentment. Her hands have healed. An EEG brain scan from a year ago showed a nonstop quake of seizure activity.

An EEG done a few weeks ago in Denver shows none.

On a recent evening she sat on the front steps of the family’s rented house in Fountain, Colo., with her father, watching her younger brothers play ball.

“This is something we could never do before, just sit and enjoy life. Her life was just a storm,” Butch Swann said.

“Now we can take her shopping, go out to eat, just be a family

together. It’s the answer to our prayers.”

Allie leaned over and silently gave him a kiss.

There are now 180 children in Colorado taking the oil, with thousands more on a waiting list. Other kids in Colorado and 19 other states where medical marijuana is legal are using similar oils made from other cannabis strains.

The oil is not a magic potion that suddenly returns kids to perfect health, but many parents say it controls seizures better than anything they have tried.

Though a handful of kids who tried the oil saw no beneit, the vast majority have seen seizures signiicantly reduced with no negative side efects, said Dr. Margaret Gedde, a Colorado Springs physician who is tracking the young marijuana patients. Of the 47 patients who started taking the oil this fall, 28 percent reported more than 80 percent reduction in seizures, she said. Another 49 percent reported some reduction in seizures and enough other beneits, including improved mood and awareness, that they continue to use the oil. Another 23 percent either stopped using the oil because it made seizures worse, was inefective, or because they moved back to a state where the oil is banned.

“This is what is called anecdotal evidence, but it is also very real,” said Gedde, who now has 195 pediatric marijuana patients. “We have 78 percent of patients beneiting from this.

Often it allows them to get of more dangerous medications.

Clearly it has a role in treating epilepsy.”

The Commercial Appeal reporter Richard Locker contributed to this story.

compliant 4-year-old son has been having problems with deiant behavior at school. He often refuses to do what he is told by the teacher. What concerns us even more, however, is that he has recently had two episodes of aggressive behavior toward other children, both very wellbehaved girls, and both during snack time. In the irst incident, he stabbed a girl with a plastic fork when she told him something he didn’t like. The second incident occurred when he pushed a girl over some minor territorial dispute. When confronted by the teacher or us, he is very aware that these behaviors are not OK. We’re at a loss as to why they have occurred in the irst place and not clear on how to handle them.

why a child is A Asking misbehaving in a cer-

tain way can be very distracting if not downright confusing. In most cases, any answer is going to be speculative. Furthermore, 10 psychologists are going to come up with at least six diferent speculations, ive of which are going to be plausible.

That being said, I will speculate. First, boys by nature are more aggressive than girls. Second, boys by nature are impulsive.

Third, boys are more likely to respond physically rather than verbally to conlict.

Girls talk; boys ight. Add those together and you get a boy who stabs a girl who says something he perceives as provocative and aggressively defends his territory (or what he thinks is his territory) when it is “violated.”

Problems in preschool, when there are no such problems elsewhere, can indicate a mismatch between the child and the program. Defiance may be a child’s reaction to an impatient teacher or an overly structured classroom (the rather ubiquitous result of over-regulation). If that’s the case, behavior problems may miraculously disappear with a new school year.

But even if the teacher has an authority issue, you should support her expectations and discipline. Your son needs to see a unity between home and school. Setting that precedent is extremely important to his future classroom success.

A simple preventive approach to his aggression would involve having him sit by himself during snack time. If he’s aggressive in some other context, the teacher should immediately remove him from class and call you to come take him home. At home, he should be conined to his room (with all toys removed) for the remainder of the day and sent to bed early. Assuming there’s no more than meets the eye to the problem, that approach usually cures classroom aggression within a few weeks.

Where deiance is concerned, obtain a report from the teacher when you come to take him home.

Every deiant incident at school should result in less privilege at home. One can result in no television; two incidents can result in early bedtime, and three can result in room coninement.

Calm consistency on the part of both you and the teacher should minimize if not eliminate these problems in fairly short order.

Home & Garden

Time to ‘go wild’ Hydrangeas are stars of the garden that can ‘liberate’ landscapes Thomas Rainer combined humor, useful information and inspiring images in his talk Saturday on achieving romanticism in our gardens with hydrangeas and other worthy plants.

More than 200 of us were rewarded with interesting, useful information at the morning presentation at Dixon Gallery and Gardens, sponsored by the Mid-South Hydrangea Society and the Dixon.

And, we found out Rainer is like us in several ways.

“I’m a landscape architect by profession and a gardener by obsession,” said Rainer who practices landscape architecture in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Birmingham, Ala., where he spent many childhood hours romping in the wild woods near his house.

He and his wife, Melissa, who is also a landscape architect, garden on a small, challenging urban lot that surrounds a 1950s-style ranch house he says is too ugly to show in his slides.

We responded with knowing nods when he admitted to sometimes setting aside design principles that dictate massing plants of the same kind for impact in favor following his heart in collecting and a inding places for a multitude of new and interesting plants.

The memories of the towering trees surrounding secluded openings in the forests still resonate and shape his design philosophy.

“My irst reaction to plants was not to manipulate them,” said Rainer, who designed a native plant garden at the New York Botanical Garden and is writing a book on natives for Timber Press.

Manipulating plants for our pleasure is the essence of gardening, so Rainer showed us how we can have softer and more romantic landscapes if we reject typical American suburban landscapes characterized by big lawns and tightly clipped evergreen shrubs.

“The genus hydrangea, one of the loveliest on the planet, can help us liberate those landscapes,” he said. “They’re reliable, pretty, loose, soft and a relief from those evergreen meatballs.”

They are stars in our gardens but perform better with a supporting cast of companion plants.

In fact, Rainer suggests we select shorter companion plants for the foregrounds of our beds BEFORE installing the taller and bigger shrubs.

“Think of covering the ground irst, but not with ivy, vinca, pachysandra and other invasive plants,” he said.

“Ground-covering plants are like an area rug in a house.”

The shrubs are like the furniture.

Instead he chooses drifts of ferns, hostas, amsonia, October Skies aster, coral bells, foamlowers, epimediums, rhodeas and low growing ornamental

ThomaS RainER

An oakloaf hydrangea, layered with monkey grass, Ivory Halo, and a red twig dogwood with white-edged leaves, settles into its landscape. The arrangement creates a romantic look, unlike the typical suburban landscape of big lawns and clipped evergreen shrubs.

CHRISTINE ARPE GANG GREEN THUMB

grasses like panicums, variegated miscanthus and the carexes, Silk Tassel and Evergold.

He recommend Blue Ice, an amsonia cultivar with dark blue lowers great golden fall color, and Autumn Bride coral bells, which has large fuzzy leaves and white lower spikes that appear in late summer and fall instead of spring.

Because hydrangeas are not so lovely to look at in the winter, he also advises “framing” them with low- growing evergreen shrubs.

One of his images featured

Limelight — a tall, sun-loving hydrangea with panicles of white lowers — surrounded by a clipped hedge of boxwood.

Annabelle hydrangeas, which have orbs of white lowers, look better when a “skirt” of short ornamental grass obscures their gangling “legs.”

Ground-covering plants choke out weeds and eliminate the need for vast amounts of mulch.

He ended his presentation by encouraging us to “go wild with hydrangeas.”

“Your landscape will be more pleasurable if the garden has an abundance of plants layered together,” he said. “Your goal should be plantings that are dripping with emotion and, above all, romanticism.”

180 MILES OF TREES During his talk, Rainer also mentioned a tree planting project he and his irm are involved

with that will place 620,000 trees along a 180-mile historic route stretching from Thomas Jeferson’s Monticello near Charlottesville, Va., to the national cemetery at Gettysburg, Pa. About 300,000 of the trees will be redbuds, native trees that have bright pink lowers in early spring, heart-shaped leaves that turn golden in the fall and a medium stature that fits nicely under the power lines that border the highway in many places.

When it is completed in 20 or more years, the $65 million project will be the largest man-made pathway of trees on the globe.

Rainer’s irm is developing landscaping patterns such as groves, orchards, allees and wilderness areas to complement the existing natural and man-made landscapes along the route.

Worldly additions lend magic to compost

As summer lawns, gardens grow, so do questions about their care

I’m not saying my dirt is better than yours, but it’s pretty diverse. You could say it’s an international melting pot, just like our country.

This is because I add compost to it all the time.

Not just any old storebought stuf, though. My compost is homemade, dug out of a pair of bins that have been churning out the “black gold” continuously for over 20 years.

And it has had special ingredients added.

In addition to the usual chopped leaves, pulled weeds, wilted and spent garden plants, and kitchen scraps, I have been adding unusual ingredients collected from all over the place. Sometimes from thousands of miles away.

For many years now I have made a practice, wherever I go in my travels, of illing a special pouch in my travel bag with leaves, dirt and other compostable stuf, and bringing it back to my compost bin.

It has come from over

Now that hot weather has arrived, here are some of the most common questions homeowners have during this time of the year.

THE SOUTHERN GARDENER

40 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, and from the Grand Canyon and the Mojave Desert to the temperate rain forests of the Paciic Northwest. I have Key West beach sand, clay from Central Park, and even some sifted limestone dust from behind Ruby Falls, deep underneath Lookout Mountain.

And I have squirreled away leaves from overseas as well. My compost has handfuls of debris from England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Leaves from all over Europe as well as the Caribbean, Japan and parts of Africa and South America.

It even has some creepy stuf, like a big handful (so to speak) of manure from the Budweiser Clydes-

dales, Royal Lipizzaner stallions, the famous racehorse Cigar, and Jackson Zoo elephants.

And even the ashes of Maxie, my late but beloved old spaniel.

All of it has been mixed and remixed, every year, as I inoculated the new stuf every fall with good portions of the old.

Every time I dig into my garden, I add a little more of what I call my “magic foo-foo dust,” and I ponder over all those places I collected the assorted ingredients to take back home.

The other day, when I ate my homegrown tomato, covered with basil grown in my magic compost, I thought of sweet old Maxie.

is a good mowing Q What height for my lawn?

The correct height for Bermuda and Zoysia is 1 ½ to 2 inches tall, and fescue up to 3 inches tall. This will help protect the roots of the grass during this hot weather.

Try not to remove more than a third of the grass during each cutting. Grass kept at the proper height helps to keep the soil cool and control weed growth.

When is the best time to water my lawn and vegetable garden?

lime in the soil. A soil test is the most reliable method available for determining the amount of lime to apply to tomatoes.

The proper pH range for tomatoes is 6.0 -6.5.

By Katie Pemberton Special to The Weekly

Name: Dexter Age: 3 years Breed: Tabby Description: He loves everyone he meets, including dogs.

Name: Jade Age: 1 year Breed: Labrador/retriever mix Description: She would make a great jogging partner.

The Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County will ofer several reducedfee adoption programs in the coming months as part of its participation in the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.

T h roug h Su nday, HSMSC will ofer $9 adult cat adoptions as part of the “9 Lives for $9” campaign sponsored by Best Friends.

All cats 9 months and older will be available for $9.

HSMSC will also ofer

$50 adoptions on all animals every Wednesday through Aug. 31. HSMSC is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays.

All reduced adoption fees always include spay/ neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. Dog adopters are required to purchase a rabies license for an additional $6. The reduced adoption fee applies to approved adopters only who have completed an adoption application and passed all screening processes. HSMSC’s regular adoption fees vary from

$75 to $150.

HSMSC is one of 50 shelters nationwide competing in the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge, which tasks shelters with increasing adoptions from June 1 to Aug. 31 by at least 300 more than the previous year. Shelters are eligible for grant awards based on adoption numbers and community engagement.

Katie Pemberton is the PR/marketing manager for the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County.

TSSAA mulls classification changes

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

The high school football landscape in Tennessee could have a very diferent look in two months time.

The TSSAA’s Board of Control will vote on Aug. 11 on one of three proposals regarding classiication for Division 1 football, which comprises nonfinancial aid schools. The proposals were discussed at the Board meeting which concluded June 11.

One plan would be to keep six-classification system in place, while an-

other plan would reduce the number to ive.

The plan that generated the most buzz however, is a revamped six-class system that would put the 32 schools with the highest enrollments in a new 6A. Those schools would be grouped into four regions across the state and all 32 would make the playofs.

Thirty-two 6A teams currently make the playofs as well, but out of a total of 56 schools.

“I’m not sure what to think,” said Collierville head coach Mike O’Neill.

“It seems like four or ive years they want to lop

things around. Obviously, though, those are 32 powerhouse teams that you’d have to go through anyway (to reach the state title game).”

Based on the most recent enrollment igures, the Memphis-area quadrant would consist of nine teams: Arlington, Bartlett, Bolton, Collierville, Cordova, Germantown, Houston, White Station and Whitehaven. Those teams would all play one another, leaving two games on the schedule for other opponents.

Some local teams currently in 6A would be

forced to move down, including Brighton, Central, Wooddale and Southwind — which currently ranks 33rd in enrollment.

Schools outside the top 32 — such as perennial state power Maryville — could petition to move up, but only if another school opts to drop down.

As O’Neill pointed out, the new format would essentially make the regular season one long battle for positioning. But it would also make for some very interesting matchups for fans.

“Those are all great programs with great coaches,”

CRAIG COLLIER/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL FILES

Houston head coach Will Hudgens and other local football coaches will be interested in the TSSAA’s Board of Control vote on Aug. 11 that could change what classiication some teams play in starting in 2015.

said O’Neill. “You’d have to battle like crazy all year long for seeding. It would be exciting for the fans.”

In another development, the board voted that

teams can no longer hold multiple practices in pads on consecutive days while also stipulating that there must be at least three hours between those practices.

The Houston Mustangs wrestling and football teams joined together to support the EyeOpener 5K at Houston Levee Park. Mustangs wrestlers volunteered at the event in honor of former teammate Kyle Kiihnl, who died when he was hit by a drowsy driver. The Houston football coaches and players showed their support by participating in the race. Houston football won the team trophy. At the conclusion of the event, wrestlers joined the Kiihnl family as they released balloons for those killed by drowsy drivers.

KING-SIZE CATS surprise catch lands shipman, Wilkins top prize at Big Cat Quest

By Bryan Brasher brasher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2343

ROBINSONVILLE, Miss. — With the water rising at an ominous rate of about one foot per day on the Mississippi River, veteran catish anglers David Shipman and Brooke Wilkins decided to run north to Memphis from Tunica Riverpark in search of slower current during last Saturday’s Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest tournament.

Shipman knew a spot in that area where he believed they could catch a few ish in the 10to 11-pound range just to avoid getting skunked.

But the ish fooled him — and in a good way.

A spot that Shipman said had never produced big ish before was holding some monsters, and the team brought ive catish to the scales that weighed 128.70 pounds to claim the $1,500 irst-place prize. Their catch was anchored by a blue cat that weighed 41.45.

Jef Dodd of Trenton, Tennessee, and Daryl Masingale of Paragould, Arkansas, took bigish honors with a behemoth that weighed 80.55.

“We knew we weren’t gonna win, but we got lucky,” Shipman said. “We started catching 8- and 9-pounders, and all of a sudden some bigger ish bit.

Never caught ish like that in that place before.”

The pair caught their ish using a tactic known as “suspend drifting” — and like most of the

Jef Dodd of Trenton, Tennessee, removes an 80.55-pound catish from the live well with help from his teammate, Daryl Masingale of Paragould, Ark. The catish took big-ish honors during last Saturday’s Big Cat Quest.

ield they were using skipjack for bait. They said they had two stretches of about 60-90 minutes when the ish bit well.

“I’ve had it work out this way before where you catch big ish from a spot where you really weren’t expecting to catch them,” Shipman said. “Most of the time it doesn’t work that way. But this was a good time

for it to happen.”

The ishing was better, in general, than many expected with the river rising so rapidly.

The top ive teams all had more than 100 pounds, including the Corinth team of Larry Muse, Dino Meador and Frank Meador, who inished second with 112.20.

Rounding out the top ive were Masingale and Dodd with

105.20, the three-man team of Brad Stout, Billy Littleton and Rick Cothren with 104.50, and Matt Bingham and Josh Doyle with 102.95.

Masingale and Dodd created perhaps the biggest stir at the weigh-in stand with their 80.55 whopper. Neither would admit which angler actually landed the ish.

“We didn’t have a ish at 9 o’clock, and we already had one ish on when that big ish hit,” Dodd said. “It just kind of ticked the bait — nothing out of the ordinary. But when we laid back on it, we knew it was out of the ordinary.”

Dodd and Masingale, who were drifting with skipjack, might have swept irst place and big ish if they had managed one more decent catish. But they weren’t in the mood to complain.

“That’s the biggest ish either of us has ever weighed in for a tournament,” Dodd said. “When you bring an 80-pounder to the scales, it’s hard to be disappointed about anything.

Shipman and Wilkins both live in Corinth, Mississippi, a city that has become known for a growing list of accomplished catish anglers. Shipman has been a patron of Wilkins’ Corinth restaurant, “Martha’s Menu,” for years.

At 20, Wilkins was one of the youngest anglers in the event.

“I always enjoy ishing with David, and I love ishing on the Mississippi River,” Wilkins said.

“It’s dangerous, but it’s a great place to ish.”

Nasty winter didn’t knock out ticks in Mid-South Back during December and January when deer hunters were shivering through one of the coldest winters in recent memory, many were comforted slightly by the assumption that the harsh temperatures might mean fewer ticks come spring.

But any hunter who subscribed to that theory seriously enough to forgo using bug repellent for his irst spring turkey hunt learned quickly how misguided it was.

Even after the nasty winter, the tick season in the Mid-South has been even nastier — and the summer isn’t even half over.

“We received several reports of tick encounters in Tennessee during March and April,” said Dr. Thomas N. Mather, director of the University of Rhode Island Center for Vector-Borne Disease.

“Then from April to May, we saw a quantum surge in the number of reports.

It was like an explosion.”

BRYAN BRASHER OUTDOORS

That spring tick explosion in the Mid-South was dominated by the Lone Star tick — a species that is easily identiiable because the females have a distinct white spot on their brown backs. Mather believes the Lone Star tick is so prevalent here because we have so many whitetail deer, the tick’s preferred host.

I had an amazing encounter with Lone Star ticks back in May, inding and removing 13 after one afternoon of barbecuing on my back patio in rural Hardeman County. I treated the area with granules to extinguish the ticks the next day, and I put away any belief that the cold winter might have made a

dent in the tick population.

Experts like Mather never lived under that assumption.

Earlier this year, Mather conducted an experiment by placing several ticks in a vial and burying it in the snow in what he termed “frigid Rhode Island.” After 24 hours with nighttime temperatures reaching 3 degrees, he dug up the ticks and found they were just as lively as ever.

“That experiment suggests that anyone who believed the really cold winter would mean fewer ticks was mistaken,” Mather said. “For anyone who assumed they didn’t need to protect themselves against ticks when spring arrived, that was a lesson learned — and one that’s worth remembering for the future.”

This year, for the irst time, the URI Center for Vector-Borne Disease has been operating a nationwide “Tickspotters” program that allows people to report tick encounters

from anywhere in the country. Through data collected from the program, the Center has created a point-and-click map that shows current tick activity for all regions.

The E/S Central Division, which includes Tennessee and Mississippi, currently registers high tick activity, just like W/S Central region that includes Arkansas. Lone Star ticks, both males and females, are the most prevalent ticks in both regions.

Though Lone Stars aren’t associated with the two most-feared tickborne diseases — Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease — they are the primary vector for Ehrlichiosis. Symptoms for the ailment, which usually occur within one to two weeks after a bite from an infected tick, include fever, headache, fatigue and muscle aches.

Mather said Lone Star ticks are some of the fastest crawlers and ag-

gressive biters of the tick world. But fortunately, only 5-10 percent of them are capable of infecting humans with Ehrlichiosis.

Besides overconident outdoorsmen, Mather said an active tick season like the one we’re having now usually results in many people encountering ticks for the irst time.

Since those folks tend to freak out — and who wouldn’t the irst time they ind a bloodsucking insect attached to their skin? — it’d be wise for them to visit Mather’s organization’s website at tickencounter. org.

Instead of a bunch of technical info about diseases and treatments, the site focuses mainly on how to protect yourself from ticks and how to identify the species of tick that’s bitten you. You can even become a tickspotter and report your personal encounters — and if you include a photo of the tick, you’re likely to get a personal response from one of

MORE INFO ON TICKS if you’re having a bad tick season like most people in the mid-south, you should spend some time on the website tickencounter.org. the site, which is operated by the University of rhode island Center for VectorBorne Disease, features helpful information on protecting yourself, your home and your pets against ticks. you can also get up-to-date reports on tick activity in this region and receive feedback on your own personal tick encounters.

the Center’s experts.

“A lot of people, when they get bitten by a tick for the irst time, they have no idea what they’re dealing with,” Mather said. “It makes them feel a little better to get some specific information about the situation — and this year, a lot of people are inding themselves in that situation.”

NOAH Singers celebrate D-Day at YMCA

By Tish Lewis Special to The Weekly

PHILANTHROPY

Contemporary Club gives to area organizations

By Trena Packer Street Special to The Weekly

The Collierville Contemporary Club recently held its annual luncheon where more than $12,500 was given to Collierville area nonprofit clubs and associations. New club officers were also installed.

The organization coordinates the annual “Christmas in Collierville Home Tour” and Gift Gazebo in the Morton Museum of Collierville History. All proceeds support many nonprofit clubs.

Proceeds have been distributed to the Bess Morton Museum of Collierville History, Books from Birth, the Burch Library, Collierville Animal Shelter, Collierville Arts Council, Collierville Education Foundation, Col-

lierville Literacy Council, Family Violence Council, Museum of Biblical History, New Day Children’s Theater and Page Robbins Adult Day Care Center.

The club also designates funds for other projects like supporting the Museum of Biblical History’s special exhibit and a sound system for the Morton Museum of Collierville History. The Club also has gifted money to assist with rebuilding of the gazebo in the historic Magnolia Cemetery, the Collierville Food Pantry, Dove Rehabilitation and recently funded a scholarship named for Collierville Schools Superintendent John Aitken.

Trena Packer Street is the communications specialist for the Collierville Public Information Oice.

The YMCA at Schilling Farms marked the 70th anniversary of D-Day Normandy with a performance by the NOAH Singers from Collierville United Methodist Church.

The audience included many who have served in the military. Following opening remarks and an invocation by Howard Patterson, a voluntary chap-

lain at the Y, the group began the performance with several memorable songs from 1930s and 1940s era.

The group ended its performance with patriotic tunes including a sing-along with the audience including favorites such as “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “God Bless America.”

Tish Lewis is the community program director for the YMCA at Schilling Farms.

The NOAH Singers, led by Melanie Duncan, got the audience to participate in the sing-along.
