VETERANS DAY

I Love America Day Riverdale turns out with song, sweetness for veterans

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

T

he irst Veterans Day (Armistice Day) was celebrated in 1919, the anniversary of the close of World War I. Nov. 10, veterans from every conlict the United States has fought since then stood when their name was called at Riverdale Elementary to the wild applause of children.

For some, including Ron Roberson, who arrived in Da Nang, Vietnam, on his 20th birthday, it

was the sweetest sound they could imagine.

Roberson volunteered to serve, and during his public address Nov. 10, he described some things he loves about his country. They included a few key rights spelled out in the Constitution and some traits he noticed in the scope of his service.

“I love America because the vast majority of people know the diference between right and wrong and choose to do the right thing,” he said to applause.

When the program and its musical tributes were over, the students and nearly 80 veterans, neighbors, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all spilled out on the Germantown school’s lawn for a picnic

and parade, part of “I Love America Day” at Riverdale.

The annual tribute began 15 years ago. Based on the hundreds of people lined up for the parade and the cars parked for more than half mile in every direction, the program is now among the largest recognitions of veterans in Shelby County.

“We try to make the children understand what veterans sacriice,” said Debbie McCoy, Riverdale band director.

While almost all children know what a veteran is, McCoy said, “every year, there are a few who don’t.

“I let the other children tell them,” she said.

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton will attend what is being billed as a “grass-roots organizing meeting” in Memphis on Friday.

The location of the event hasn’t been determined, but the meeting will be open to the public.

Doors will open at 1 p.m., and the event is scheduled to start at 2:30 Hillary Clinton p.m.

“We hope to get as many people there as we can,” said Randa Spears, chairwoman of the Shelby County Democratic Party.

People interested in attending should RSVP on Clinton’s website, hillaryclinton.com/ events/view/?id=898735.

After the event, the former secretary of state will head to Nashville for a private fundraiser at the home of Bill Freeman, a prominent businessman, Democratic donor and candidate this year for Nashville mayor.

The two Tennessee stops are part of Clinton’s efort to build support in primary states and a grass-roots organization beyond the four early primary states, her campaign says. Tennessee’s presidential primary will be held March 1. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president, also will be in Memphis for a fundraiser early next month.

In the News METHODIST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

$40M donation to aid transplants, research Gift will help create world-class facility

By Ted Evanof evanof@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2292

A $40 million donation to the Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute will help the Memphis center expand into a world-class research and transplant facility, hospital oficials said Thursday.

Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare chief executive Gary Shorb announced the donation Thursday, and said the expansion is the centerpiece of an upgrade planned for the Union Avenue campus that will surpass $100 million.

The anonymous donor earmarked part of the gift for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, whose faculty members practice medicine in the nearby 617-bed teaching hospital at 1265 Union.

The donation, largest ever for the 97-year-old hospital, is the latest major event in the $2.8 billion transformation under way in the Medical District, a cluster of ive hospitals, the UTHSC complex and the Southern College of Optometry employing 17,000 near Downtown.

“It just continues to build on the pretty strong momentum we’re seeing for the Medical District,” Shorb said. “The common thread here is we’re really

working with UT to bring very strong talent into Memphis, and that talent is typically academically oriented, people who are really interested in research and education.”

UTHSC, which has replaced about half of its faculty in recent years, also has committed about $300 million for renovations and new buildings and equipment on its campus intended in part to help attract top researchers and medical doctors.

“Investments like this give us a stronger platform to attract additional grants and NIH money,” Shorb said, referring to the National Institutes of Health. “I can’t tell you speciically how it will play out, but this is signiicant.”

Methodist has received the $40 million donation. Half will go to UTHSC for advanced research, and the Transplant Institute will spend half on equipment and upgrading rooms for patients.

The Cooper-Young neighborhood has more irmly staked its claim on music legend Johnny Cash with the design of a small plaza where a statue is planned along with a historical marker.

Bemis Atkins has designed a three-section plaza on the grounds of the former Galloway United Methodist Church.

Now a nonproit community center called Cooper Walker Place, the former church building is cited as the place where a 22-year-old Cash gave his irst public performance with two back-up musicians, Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant, in December 1954.

The trio performed gospel songs during a fundraising event the church organized to support four missionaries, said Sam Garrett, co-executive director of Cooper Walker Place.

“We’re inalizing everything for the historic marker,’’ Garrett said of a related project. The marker is being prepared by local historian Jimmy Ogle to explain what Cash did at Galloway Methodist.

The plaque will be dedicated May 1, by when, organizers hope, enough money will have been raised to have sculptor Bill Beckwith start work on the statue.

The small plaza will encom-

business into renovating and preserving it.

Day partnered with Elvis Presley Enterprises in 1996 to make it a tourist attraction.

The 10,000-square-foot house museum, furnished with family heirlooms, drew 58,000 people the irst year but attendance diminished and Graceland’s operator pulled out after four years.

Next up was a bed-andbreakfast and restaurant in the home, and a development of 12 condominiums on the grounds. To support that development, the Center City board approved a 15-year tax abatement in 2003 that partially froze city and county property taxes on property then valued at $6 million.

pass about 800 square feet at the church’s northeast corner, fronting Cooper about a block south of the Cooper and Young intersection.

Atkins designed the plaza in three square sections. The front one will be the “Ring of Fire,’’ taken from one of the singer-songwriter’s most famous songs. A circle is formed by inlaid bricks that will be inscribed with the names of donors to the project. Eight concrete cubes will serve as bollards, spots for lights and even seats, Atkins said.

A seven-foot-tall bronze statue of Cash will rise from the plaza’s middle section. The sculpture actually will reach 10 or 11 feet high because it will stand atop a pedestal with steps. The plaza’s back section will provide concrete seating.

Atkins is donating his architectural services. He grew up in the

The property is scheduled to be taxed at full value again after the abatement, known as a payment in lieu of taxes, expires in November 2018.

The transaction comes two years after the Sickle Cell Foundation of Tennessee announced it was in negotiations to buy the 6.5-acre site and convert it to a Campus for Caring for sickle cell anemia patients.

The foundation said at the time it was raising $2 million to buy the property and would need to raise another $8 million to complete development.

The sickle cell group’s plans fell through because it couldn’t raise the money quickly enough, chief executive Trevor Thompson said.

Cooper-Young neighborhood and was an original organizer of the annual Cooper-Young Festival.

The statue’s pose will be taken from a 1962 photo of Cash made by photographer Leigh Wiener, said Mike McCarthy, founder of Legacy Memphis. The organization wants the Cash statue to be just the irst of other sculptures that honor luminaries in Memphis neighborhoods to which the famous people have connections.

McCarthy envisions a Sam Phillips statue in Health Science Park.

The irst $31,000 for the project is being raised through ioby, civic crowd-funding platform. As of Nov. 11, the web page showed that $5,128 had been raised toward the goal. Plaza bricks, to be inscribed honoring donors, are being sold for $104 to $3,000 each.

VETERANS from 1 no studies at Riverdale on Nov. 10. Students and families gathered for the musical tribute by the ifthgrade band, choir and orchestra in the gymnasium at 10 a.m.

By 11:30 a.m., the event had moved outside for the picnic and parade, which besides student-made tributes to each state, included several convertibles, a few antique cars and an alpaca, a llama-like animal that was peacefully nibbling the school lawn.

“It’s wonderful for our students to be reminded that our freedoms don’t come free,” said Riverdale principal Joseph Bond, grill-

ing bratwurst for the picnic.

“They come with sacriices.

We have to take the time to honor our veterans and remember them. “That is the lesson today.”

Teachers asked parents to send photos — including branch of service and rank — of students’ relatives who are military veterans or are currently serving.

The pictures were embedded in a multimedia program that lashed on a giant screen while ifthgraders sang “Song of the Soldier,” a medley of the military’s branch songs, and Bond called each veteran’s name.

Lt. Cmdr. Rick Fischer stood as “Anchors Aweigh,” the ight song of the U.S. Naval Academy, swelled to fullness.

Fred Auston Wortman III entered his second guilty plea Nov. 10 in connection with attempting to kill his estranged wife, Staci, on multiple occasions earlier this year.

Technically, Wortman entered a “best interest” plea without admitting guilt. But, in a statement in court, the defendant took full responsibility for his actions, while apologizing to his wife, children and other family members.

The Shelby County charge was for irst-degree attempted murder in connection with Wortman introducing poison in his wife’s toothpaste tube. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, a similar sentence to the one handed down when he pleaded guilty Nov. 9 in Fayette County Circuit Court to attempted first-degree murder and soliciting an inmate to kill Staci Wortman after Wortman was in jail.

Wortman will serve the Shelby County sentence at the same time as the Fayette County punishment, meaning he could be eligible for parole in a little less than 10 years.

Veterans Day

‘They’ve earned it’ The wounds of those who’ve served our country are our collective responsibility

W

hen the Marine came back from Iraq, they told him he had changed. He

didn’t see it.

When he came back from Afghanistan, they told him he had really changed. He didn’t want to hear it.

He didn’t want to hear anything. Sounds — sudden ones, loud ones — triggered traumatic memories.

His muscles tightened. His heart raced. His pupils dilated.

He went into a trance.

“Combat mode,” said Daniel Fisher, now 33. “When you are in the Marine Corps, you are trained to ight.”

After two combat tours and seven years in the Marine Corps, Fisher was still ighting when he came home to Bartlett in 2014.

After surviving blasts from three roadside bombs, one 10 feet away, Fisher had battle scars he couldn’t see.

Mental health experts call it post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Veterans groups prefer to call it post-traumatic stress injury, or PTSI. The military estimates that as many as one in ive of the 2.6 million soldiers we’ve sent to Iraq or Afghanistan since 2003 is sufering from PTSI or some other form of blast-induced brain trauma.

Those veterans “are at a higher risk for lifelong medical problems, such as seizures, decline in neurocognitive functioning, dementia, and chronic diseases,” according to Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

Survivors also are returning with higher rates of depression, addiction, mental illness, traumatic brain injuries and suicidal tendencies.

We’ve already spent nearly $2 trillion ighting those never-ending wars. Some estimate we’ll need to spend at least $2 trillion more helping veterans deal with their service-related problems.

BRANDON DILL/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

After surviving two combat tours that included three roadside bombs, Marine Daniel Fisher had post-traumatic stress injury or PTSI.

DAVID WATERS COLUMNIST

“More and more veterans are coming back every day and not getting the services and care they need, and it’s only going to get worse if we don’t address it head on,” said Jerry Easter, program coordinator for Shelby County Veterans Court.

“We spent $860,000 for each set of boots we put on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. We can damn well spend that much helping these young men and women reintegrate into society.”

Easter, a Marine who was shot

in the leg in Vietnam in 1968, suffered from PTSI, as have about 30 percent of Vietnam veterans.

So did Judge Bill Anderson’s father, a World War II and D-Day survivor.

“They called it shell shock back then, but it was the same thing,” said Anderson, who runs Veterans Court.

Anderson and Easter work with veterans of all wars, but they say more Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are sufering because more are surviving. In World War II, a third of those who were injured died. In Vietnam, a quarter died. In Iraq and Afghanistan, 10 percent have died.

Veterans Court opened in 2012, thanks to the eforts of Patricia Hines, a social worker at the Memphis VA Medical Center, and U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen.

Veterans who get in trouble

with the law, and who were honorably discharged, are ofered a chance to bring their case, and their service-related problems to Anderson’s courtroom.

Most of the women veterans in Anderson’s court are victims of military sexual trauma. Most of the men have addiction issues.

Nearly all sufer from some form of traumatic brain injury.

Anderson works with prosecutors, public defenders and other attorneys, mental health experts from the VA and the University of Memphis, social workers and anyone else who can help.

They form a unit whose weekly mission is to help each veteran receive the proper diagnosis and treatment, medications and counseling, housing, transportation, job training, whatever they need.

Veterans under the court’s

supervision report back each week. If they break ranks, Anderson puts them in jail. If they follow orders and complete their courses of treatment and other assignments, the judge dismisses the charges and expunges them from the record.

The court is supervising the care of 30-40 veterans at a time.

Half a dozen or so graduate each month. Of the court’s nearly 100 graduates, only two have been rearrested.

“This is a criminal court, but it’s not a punishment court. It’s a treatment court,” Anderson said.

“These men and women served their country honorably and often repeatedly. They don’t just deserve our help when they get back. They’ve earned it.”

After Fisher returned from Afghanistan, when he wasn’t combative he was nonresponsive. He said he’d drink and take drugs just to stay awake to avoid the nightmares. He’d drink and take drugs to dull the pain.

After his second DUI, or maybe it was his third, he was ofered a chance to enlist in Veterans Court.

“I didn’t want to do it, but after two ‘tours’ at 201 Poplar, I igured out I didn’t want to be there,” he said. “And I realized they were trying to help me.”

Fisher said he has been sober for more than a year. He’s got a steady job. He’s working on a college degree in applied sciences. Next Wednesday, he’ll graduate from Veterans Court.

“I was headed down a path where I was going to end up dead or in prison,” Fisher said.

“Instead of throwing me to the wayside, they took me in and turned me around.”

We sent them. They went. We kept sending them back. They kept going back.

Their collective wounds are our collective responsibility.

NASHVILLE — Tennessee scored a D but still ranked 15th among the states in a new nationwide analysis of each state’s laws and practices meant to deter corruption and promote accountability and transparency to be released today by two public-integrity research groups.

Tennessee was given a numerical grade of 66.2 overall, a score based on a compilation of 245 speciic measurements in 13 broad categories of government operations, each of which received its own grade and rank. The analysis, titled the State Integrity Investigation, was conducted by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity, both nonproit and nonpartisan organizations that promote transparency and accountability.

Arkansas and Mississippi ranked 32nd and 33rd respectively — Arkansas with a score of 61.2 and Mississippi with 60.8, both D-minus grades.

No state received an A and the top three states received C grades: Alaska with a score of 76, California with 73.3 and Connecticut with 70.6. Tennessee is among 36 states that earned D grades.

Michigan ranked dead last, with a score of 50.5.

Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, Maine, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Nevada, South Dakota, Delaware and Wyoming also received failing grades.

The study concluded

that taken as a whole, state governments are plagued by conlicts of interests and cozy relationships between lawmakers and lobbyists, while open records and ethics laws are often toothless and laced with exemptions.

Among the 13 categories, Tennessee scored highest — second in the nation with an 88.2 score — in its internal auditing of government agencies. It also ranked 4th for state civil service management, 9th in executive accountability, and 12th in its state budget processes and electoral oversight.

Tennessee’s lowest rankings were in public access to information and judicial accountability, both 37th among the states. Forty-four states received failing grades in the access to information category.

When Tennessee’s public meetings and public records acts were approved decades ago, they were considered landmarks for governmental openness.

But since then, the state legislature had added scores of exceptions to the public records law, and last month, Gov. Bill Haslam’s oice cited an “executive privilege” exemption to the law in refusing to release three documents in his chief operating oicer’s oice relating to the administration’s efforts to outsource the management and operation of state facilities.

And earlier this year, reporters discovered that several of the committees of the state House of Representatives were routinely holding unannounced meetings to review bills before their regularly scheduled meetings.

Community VOLUNTEER

If G’town strikes you as tidy, sharp, thank Evans

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

Henry Evans is oldschool enough to believe the citizens of any community have a responsibility to know the rules and obey them.

For 13 years he’s served on the Germantown Board of Zoning Appeals. That means — as a matter of principle — he routinely voted against the cases of people who came seeking forgiveness instead of permission, down to an elaborate tree house a grandfather built for his grandchildren that in the end had to be partially dismantled.

“There was no justiication we could ind to approve it,” said Evans, 77, a ixture in Germantown government for nearly three decades, although never as an elected oicial.

Instead, he has served with an army of more than 20 volunteer boards and commissions — from the audit commission to the tree board — that exist to bring citizen expertise to city hall.

In a Thursday night dinner at The Great Hall and Conference Center, Germantown recognized the volunteers and extra-milers. If they were paid, their time would add $1.2 million to the annual payroll.

They include Don Eye, recipient of Germantown’s annual Jo Reed Award, for work in elementary schools, including Madonna Learning Center, and Glenn Kneeland, chief of the ire reserve program, who received the Reserve Oicer of the Year Award for the second time. The irst was 25 years ago.

“So you can see, he’s

been with the department a while,” said Chief John Selberg. “He usually presents this award. This year we told him there wasn’t going to be Henry one.”

Kneeland, who Evans now lives in Fayette County, puts in 25 hours a month ighting the city’s ires and advising Selberg and his team.

Evans, who’s already received nearly every award the city gives, got a shoutout from Mayor Mike Palazzolo from the podium.

“If there were a legacy award, it would be itting to have Henry Evans on it,” Palazzolo said before the banquet. “All the recognition he’s received is for the person who just serves for the sake of service.”

Evans is wrapping up his inal term on the BZA — the only citizen board in Germantown where appeals go directly to Chancery Court — telling Palazzolo and others this fall he would not seek his fourth appointment.

“I believe seats on the citizen boards in Germantown ought to be available to as many people as possible,” said Evans, who served six years as the chief administrative oficer for the city of Memphis under Mayor Wyeth Chandler and the four before that as head of human resources.

People who’ve watched Evans and served beside him, marvel at his command of the technicalities of running a city and his compassion.

“I call it candid benevolence,” Palazzolo said.

“You know where Henry stands, but it’s done with

much thought and courtesy.” While every community has a handful like Evans, “it’s not more than three, four or ive. That’s the caliber we are talking about.”

B esides t he BZA, Evans served 10 years on the Planning Commission, 14 on the Industrial Development Board, plus a stint in the 1990s on the Financial Advisory Commission and a term on the Personnel Advisory Commission in the 1980s.

“The BZA is the toughest,” said Alderman Forrest Owens. “It beats you up. Here’s why: You have folks that want to do something on their property, or they have something they’ve already done,” he said, noting that the BZA has ordered at least one garage taken down because it was built over the “setback line.”

The other peril, Owens said, “is you can rule and no one is happy,” which was case with the tree house.

Germantown treats tree houses like a tool shed or other accessory building.

Code ties the height to the distance from the property line.

The farther away, the taller it can be, within reason.

“The homeowners had built this very elaborate and nice tree house,” Owens said. “The neighbor didn’t want a tree house, whatsoever.

“The owners agreed to take the top of, rendering it not nearly as nice or as special, but it did meet the ordinance. Neither was happy.”

Junior Auxiliary of Collierville members Amy Knight (left), Christy Brandon, Nancy Kelley and Stephanie McGavic donated coats to Collierville Schools. Accepting the coats is Supt. John Aitken.

By Craig Collier Special to the Weekly

On Nov. 10, Junior Auxiliary of Collierville presented donations from its irst coat drive to Collierville Schools.

Collierville’s Junior Auxiliary is a chapter of a national organization that encourages its members to render charitable services, with particular emphasis on children.

Amy Knight, president of the chapter, helped to make the coat drive a reality.

“We approached the Collierville Schools and asked how we could help and they did a needs assessment with the assistance of the schools’ counselors. The results said coats was the most requested category,” Knight said. “Since we participate in two large community events each year, the Easter Bunny hop in the

Spring and the Scare on the Square in the fall, we decided our fall event in October would be the best event. We requested the community donate gently used coats...”

As a result of their dedication to the community, 57 coats were handed over at a brief ceremony held at the Collierville School’s central oice building.

Many of the coats were new and still had its original tags.

Present at the event was Supt. John S. Aitken and

Dr. Nancy Kelley, Collierville’s counseling supervisor. Knight, and JA members Christy Brandon and Stephanie McGavic, also attended the presentation.

“Just watching the kids’ faces when they receive a coat to call their own is priceless because they are receiving something they really do need and it gives them a special feeling,” Kelley said. “We even help them mark their name inside the coat so the gift becomes even more personal.”

Community GERMANTOWN GARDEN CLUB

Members attend meeting, luncheon

By Janie Deere Special to The Weekly

Several members of the Germantown Garden Club attended the fall meeting and luncheon of the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs, District 1 at the Memphis Botanic Garden.

The program, “Gardening for Butterlies and Other Pollinators” was given by Bart Jones with the Tennessee Native Plant Society.

Jones noted on the list of plant pollinators, in addition to bees and butterlies, other creatures should be added such as wasps, beetles and hummingbirds.

In his presentation, he included a diagram of an ideal “pollinator attracting” garden, which would included plants of diferent colors and heights, nectar and host plants, damp soil

for obtaining minerals and nutrients, a water source and a sunny location.

He also suggested an unusual way to attract butterlies — mix ripe bananas and stale beer and spread

it on a limb or trunk of a tree. Other recipes on the Internet adds sugar and molasses to the mixture.

VILLAGE AT GERMANTOWN

Residents celebrate 10 year anniversary

By Mary Alice Taylor Special to The Weekly

Residents at The Village at Germantown celebrated the community’s 10th anniversary with carriage rides and a progressive dinner.

The carriage rides were reminiscent of how the irst residents came to The Village 10 years ago.

The Village at Germantown is a continuing care retirement community that ofers varying levels of care corresponding to the needs of its residents as they age.

The Village provides independent and assisted living, as well as skilled nursing care, memory care and adult day care.

The Village recently completed an expansion of approximately 53,000 square feet, creating a brand new Health Care

OLPH honors area veterans

Carolyn Jennings, Ann Tucker, Sudie Davis, Catherine Feldman, Ann Fraser and Betty Barton gather to celebrate the 10th birthday for the Village at Germantown.

Center. The new center added 32 assisted living apartments, 16 memory care private suites and an adult day care that is available to residents and the community.

The Village at Germantown is an active commu-

nity, with residents ranging from 62 years old all the way to its oldest resident who just turned 100 this month.

Mary Alice Taylor is the senior communications specialist for Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare.

“A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America,’ for an amount up to and including their life,” quoted Ron Schillinger during the annual Veterans Day program at Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

Each year, veterans and active duty military personnel are invited to celebrate Veterans Day with the students.

This year, 25 veterans joined attended. Most of the visitors were parents and grandparents of OLPH students. Kenner Sernel, an eighth-grader, said, “I am really proud of my grandfather, Bob Wilson, and I am glad he here today for the assembly.”

The tribute to the brave men and women who have served was led by the Knights of Columbus Holy Cross Assembly and the OLPH Student Council. Also participating in the program were Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, student singers and several veterans who spoke to the students about military traditions and history. Each veteran and active duty serviceman introduced them-

Bob Kurtz, retired Navy, and Father Gary Lamb, retired Marine, attended the Veterans Day program in their uniforms.

selves and commented on their military career.

During the introductions, a story about a fallen airman Capt. Hilliard Wilbanks was shared with the students. Wilbanks received the Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry in the face of danger during the Vietnam War. In the Vietnam War alone, 58,523 men and women were killed, 153,363 were wounded and 1,638 are still unaccounted for.

“This is one of the most

important assemblies we have each year,” OLPH principal Patricia Wyckof said. “One of you may be called to serve our country in the military.”

This was an especially poignant statement because OLPH alumni, Matthew Harviel, recently joined the Army.

“It was just beautiful. I am so glad that we have to opportunity to recognize the service of our veterans with the students,” said Lynn Lifsey, OLPH assistant principal.

Congratulations!

Lee’s 2 TDs help Brothers knock of Nashville Ensworth

By John Lintner special to The Commercial appeal

Christian Brothers High School eliminated the Nashville Ensworth Tigers with an undeniable running game and a bend-but-don’t-break defense Friday night. The Purple Wave advanced in the TSSAA Division 2 playofs with a 30-17 win over the Ensworth Tigers.

“We knew that we were going to have to get on the perimeter a little more and show a little more option game than we’ve shown,” said Christian Brothers coach Thomas McDaniel.

“I thought our quarterback played outstanding, the ofensive line did a good job adjusting schematically to what we had to do, and I thought Austin Lee had another gutsy performance.”

Christian Brothers scored on its opening drive when junior quarterback Keegan Voss dived through the right corner of the end zone, ending an 11-play drive. After the extra point, the Purple Wave led 7-0 with 5:33 to play in the irst quarter.

Lee added to that lead with a 26-yard run for a touchdown with 2:12 remaining in the irst half.

Jake Richards’ extra point made it 14-3 at halftime.

Lee had 173 yards and two touchdowns rushing, giving him 23 touchdowns on the year.

John Louis Bland intercepted Ensworth’s Colman Goodwin’s pass on the Tigers’ irst drive of the third quarter. That

turned in an eight-play drive, ending with a 15yard pass from Voss to John Truitt to ive CBHS a 21-3 lead.

Ensworth rallied with two touchdowns to cut the Purple Wave advantage to 21-17, but CBHS got a safety with 4:14 left in the game and then added a inal touchdown with 39 seconds remaining.

ST. GEORGE’S 42, LAUSANNE 10

Gryphons elude Lynx

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

After a ho-hum playof start last week, St. George’s looked the part of a real contender Friday.

Chase Hayden scored three touchdowns and Ben Glass had a terriic game throwing the ball as the Gryphons (11-1) throttled Lausanne, 42-10.

The Lynx were the only team to beat St. George’s during the regular season, and Glass said his team remembered.

“Chase has a lot of friends that go over there and they thought they would beat us again,” he said.

“We knew this time would be different.”

Hayden had two touchdown runs in the irst half as the Gryphons marched 80 and 82 yards on their irst two drives. It was a far cry from last week’s 20-0 win over ECS, in which they Gryphons struggled to get in gear.

“Honestly that was our goal (a better start),” said Gryphons coach David Carter, whose team will host Harding this week for the right to play in the Division 2-A state title game Dec. 3.

Hayden scores 3 TDs as St. George’s eliminates Lausanne “We wanted to get out of the gate better and put our players in the best position to make plays.”

It was a frustrating night for Lausanne, which ends its best season at 8-4. Nothing summed up Lausanne’s frustration better than a series late in the irst half.

Shemar Calhoun recovered a fumble on the St. George’s 9 with under a minute to go. But thanks to a penalty and a sack, the Lynx ended the irst-half with an unsuccessful Hail Mary from near midield.

Lausanne ran 28 plays in the irst half, gained just 66 yards and was penalized seven times for 70 yards.

Hayden compounded Lausanne’s misery on the irst play of the second half, picking of Mario Nolan-Dillard and returning the ball 34 yards to make the score 21-3.

Lausanne shot itself in the foot again two possessions later. Chris Witherspoon ripped of a nice 33yard gain but fumbled, and Will Patterson recovered on the Gryphons’ 21. Corey Jones then took an inside screen 61 yards and Glass

found Dawson Smith from the 25 on the next play to efectively end the suspense midway through the third quarter.

Glass got his second touchdown pass in spectacular fashion late in the third quarter, eluding two defenders in the backield before threading the needle to Patterson for a 15-yard score.

Witherspoon scored from the 5 to make it 35-10 with about 10 minutes to go before Glass connected with Corey Jones on a 75-yard strike right down the middle.

“They were pressing (in their coverage) and we thought we could go over the top with Shon Wooten and Corey Jones and that’s what we did,” said Glass, who completed 12 of 17 passes for 302 yards.

Although Lausanne made plenty of errors, Carter praised the play of his defense, especially junior lineman Noah Pope, who had a hand in seemingly every big play.

“Noah Pope has a motor that just doesn’t quit,” Carter said. “Our whole defense has just grown up so much. At the start of the year they were young in game reps but now they’re not just playing to the (coaches’) calls, they’re playing defense.”

Schools EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Students’ artwork on display at G’town’s Paragon Bank

By Beth Wilson Special to The Weekly

Paragon Bank is currently displaying artwork from Evangelical Christian School students at its Saddle Creek Banking Center.

The bank worked with Anne Smith, the school’s art teacher, to coordinate the exhibit that will be on display through Nov. 30.

“Our employees and clients enjoy viewing the new artwork each month,” said Robert Shaw, chief executive oicer at Paragon

Bank. “It’s a unique way to showcase the talent of the children in our community, and we invite everyone to stop by and browse the paintings this month.”

The art, created by third-grade students, was inspired by Isaiah 60:1 and Georges Seurat, a French neo-impressionist painter. The paintings feature pointillism, a technique developed by Seurat, in which small dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.

Student artists include Ava Becker, Naomi Be-

tapudi, Carrington Clay, Lily Curtright, Whit Dean, Grant Evans, Joseph Hamilton, Lucy Holton, Lexi Levatino, Lindsey Mannella, Travis Perez, Natalie Regel, Nash Rendall, Rachel Slater, William Bauer, Susanna Brink, Lucas Cox, Andi Coulson, Riley Davis, Lily Higginbotham, Ava Howell, JoJo Lei, Emily McAdams, Bo Orcholski, Campbell Pallera, Scarlett Patterson, Emma Tetleton and Claire Todd.

Schools SNAPSHOTS Fourth graders at Bailey Station Elementary wrapped up their unit on igurative language with a bang.

Students and teachers dressed up as an idiom and spent time iguring out their fellow classmates’ idioms.

Teachers were impressed with the creativity and thought that went into these costumes.

Lena Woodcock’s idiom was “don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

Kindergarten students at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School visited the middle school science lab for a tour and a fun chemistry lab. The students met all of the lab animals, including Mushu, the bearded dragon. They also made glitter slime with the help of the sixth graders. Kindergartner Stephen Mangin said, “Mushu is my favorite animal. He is a bearded dragon. I really liked making slime but it was messy.”

Briarcrest Elementary students Julia Cutchin (front), Maggie Smith, Emmye Conway, Jaxon Hammond (back), Riley Norman, Ansley Green, Kayli Clarkson, Brock Laessig, Carter Bostick and Sam Strong and their classmates collected goods for the Mid-South Food Bank. More than 6,500 cans were donated.

Students in Kathy Bousson’s second-grade optional class at Germantown Elementary had the privilege of having the Chick-Fil-A cow as a guest reader. The students had been reading their weekly story “Click, Clack, Moo” by Doreen Cronin. The special guests read two books to students. The students then participated in reading and writing activities to make connections between the diferent stories.

PLANTING HOPE Cordova library grounds is now a certified arboretum Even with the Internet at our ingertips, libraries remain epicenters for the curious, providing them with not only books but also programs on everything from demystifying modern technology for adults to storytelling for toddlers.

At the Cordova Branch of the Memphis Public Library, the learning doesn’t start or stop at the door.

Thanks to arduous work by the Cordova Garden Club, library patrons can now stretch their minds to learn about the trees on the property at 8457 Trinity, which was recently certiied as a Level 1 arboretum by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council.

“We had been planting perennials at the library and giving fall programs on leaves and trees for several years,” said Linda Overton Phillips, chairwoman of the club’s arboretum project. “About three years ago, we started thinking it would be great to have an arboretum there, too.”

Philip Williams, manager of the Cordova branch, said he and the staf are excited about the arboretum.

“We see it as a big plus for the library and for the entire Cordova community,” he said.

To become a Level 1 arboretum, a group must identify at least 30 diferent species and label them with their botanical and common names.

The natural woods on the edges of the property provided 26 mature species, and the club added six new trees last February to exceed the requirement. “We selected new trees that would be di-

verse in size, leaf shapes and color, barks and lowers,” Phillips said. They include ginkgo, Chinese fringetree, baldcypress, Manchurian maple, Regal Prince oak and “Slender Silhouette,” an American sweet gum with a columnar shape.

Adding six new trees to an existing woodland seems almost easy-peasy, right? The hardworking arboretum team — Janice Oliver, Kim Lane, Susan TePaske, Charlotte Traicof, Joan Kintzele and Phillips — never imagined how diicult it would be.

“During the drought from hell last summer, we had to ill bags with water several times a week and place them around the base of the new trees so they wouldn’t die,” Phillips said.

The doughnut-shaped bags, designed for slowly releasing water, had to be brought to a spigot on the side of the building, illed with water, placed in wagons and hauled to the trees, some of which were a about a city block away.

It was heavy, hot work during the steamy months of July and August.

Identification wasn’t easy, either, despite help from area arborists.

“They don’t always agree on the species,” Phillips said.

It cost the club $1,000 to buy the six trees and have them installed and $650 for the 32 weatherproof labels.

A few weeks ago, they were notiied their project had at last received its

certiication.

“It’s quite a job,” said Phillips, a master gardener who regularly gives programs on recycling to garden clubs and other groups. “I’m thinking of doing another talk on the arboretum certification process. I’ll call it, ‘So you think you want an arboretum ...’”

Shawn Posey, the state urban forester for West Tennessee, said it’s important to have trees identiied in parks and other public places.

“Children can learn there’s not just one kind of oak but many types,” said Posey, who help groups in the identiication process.

More than 100 arboretums have been certiied in Tennessee since the program began in 2000.

Several were recently added in the Memphis area: Glenview Neighborhood, Wolf River Greenway, International Place and St. George’s Independent School.

MUS honors retired teacher, theater volunteer Saunders

By Marci Woodmansee Special to The Weekly

The term “Renaissance man” often comes to mind in reference to Andrew F. “Andy” Saunders III, Memphis University School retired teacher and community theater volunteer.

MUS faculty members, alumni, family and friends recently celebrated Saunders at a reception for the unveiling of his portrait, commissioned by the school’s Alumni Executive Board.

From 1972-2010, Saunders held a number of titles at the school, including chair of the ine arts department, director of dramatics, director of the theater and technical director of the theater. He directed, produced and designed and built sets for more than 135 plays and musicals.

Saunders’ expertise was not limited to the stage, however. He coached football and taught science, biology, mechanical drawing, Bible, speech, astronomy and photography.

A consummate professional and dedicated volunteer, Saunders also has shared his time and talents with area arts organizations, including Germantown Community Theatre, Theatre Memphis, Opera Memphis and Memphis Symphony Chorus.

Equally skilled in front and behind the curtain, he has been nominated for various Ostrander Awards.

The new stage at Germantown Community Theatre now bears his name.

Germantown Community Theatre executive producer Dr. Michael D. Miles said Saunders’ work has been vital to the organization for more than 30

PETS OF THE WEEK | GERMANTOWN ANIMAL SHELTER Andy Saunders’ portrait was unveiled at a ceremony celebrating his contributions to Memphis University School.

years.

“Acting, set design, directing, anything that’s been needed, Andy’s been one of the irst to jump to the table and volunteer,” Miles said. “His designs have saved us. That’s why we named the newest iteration of the stage in his honor — because of his blood, sweat and tears and backbreaking eforts on our behalf. We simply wouldn’t be where we are today, a theater company now in its 44th year, if it weren’t for the dedication of Andy Saunders.”

At the portrait unveiling, MUS academic dean Flip Eikner eloquently summed up his friend and mentor’s versatility.

“The traits that most people admiringly and fondly associate with Andy’s character are his sensitive acting ability, the clarity of his teaching methods, the breadth of his Renaissance-man erudition, his academic versatility, his remarkable design skill, his hearty and jovial laugh, his generosity with his time and talents

and advice and philanthropy and, especially, his operatic singing voice,” Eikner said.

Bob Fockler, president of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis and a member of the MUS Board of Trustees, thanked Saunders for his guidance during his own student years as well as those of his son, Ted Fockler, who is now teaching history at the school and serving as assistant director of theater.

“Andy’s portrait appropriately belongs on these walls amongst those of his peers and former coworkers,” Fockler said.

“His contributions to MUS are immeasurable.”

Taking the podium, Saunders expressed his gratitude to the school for allowing him to be a “jack of all trades” and for embracing his family, his wife, Jean, their son, Jonathan, and their grandsons, Aidan, and Jordan.

Marci Woodmansee is the associate director of communications for Memphis University School.
