Teen is on Time’s top list Mo Bridges named Most Influential By Stephanie Norton norton@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2520

Moziah Bridges’ dapper, colorful bow ties have decorated the necks of NBA players and have landed him in magazines, on television and even gotten him a trip to the White House. On Oct. 27, they helped him snag a spot on Time’s 30 Most Influential Teens of 2015 list. Moziah began crafting bow ties at 9 for himself from his grandmother’s fabric scraps. When he started receiving compliments, he seized the opportunity to start his own business. He sold his first Moziah ties to rela- Bridges tives, neighbors and classmates. Those sales led to the establishment of Mo’s Bows and an appearance on “Shark Tank.” In August, Moziah and another Memphis venture — FRAGO, a nonprofit agency for military veterans — were among more than 30 startups that presented their goods and stories at the White House as part of an event celebrating entrepreneurs. Moziah handdelivered a royal blue, satin bow tie to President Barack Obama. Other teens making Time’s list include transgender public figure Jazz Jennings, actor and rapper Jaden Smith, actress and conservationist Bindi Irwin, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and “Game of Thrones” actress Maisie Williams.

Public input sought for Forest Hill Heights Area located at Winchester, Forest Hill By Kristi Ransom Special to The Weekly

The City of Germantown, the Germantown Economic Development Commission and Forest Hill Associates are partnering to develop a vision and site plan for the Forest Hill Heights area, located at the southeast corner of Forest Hill Irene and Winchester Road. These partners are seeking

significant public participation for the thoughtful and sustainable planning of this area. Master planning consulting services will be provided by a team comprised of Looney Ricks Kiss (architects and planners), Fisher Arnold (engineers) and Baltimore-based RCLCO (real estate market and economics). The planning process will feature signiicant stakeholder and community involvement and include a design workshop currently scheduled for Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The Forest Hill Heights stra-

tegic area is a 303-acre portion of the 1,450 acres of land annexed from Shelby County into Germantown in June 2000. The majority of the study area is located at the southeast corner of Forest Hill Irene and Winchester Road and contains the Forest Hill Heights Planned Development, which was approved by the Shelby County Commission on Nov. 1, 1996. The city is committed to a community-driven process for this area while utilizing market analysis, a mix of land uses and consideration of future infra-

structure needs for the Forest Hill Heights area. In August 2012 the Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopted a long-range strategic plan for the economic development future of Germantown. The plan was based on ive guiding principles with speciic actions to measure the city’s level of success. One focus in particular called for the development of small area planning studies in the city’s existing commercial and business areas. As one of the few remaining commercial areas with large undeveloped

tracts, existing corporate headquarters and valuable access to important traic corridors, Forest Hill Heights was identiied as an economic node in need of a small area plan consistent with the recommendations from the strategic plan. For more information about upcoming planning activities, contact economic development manager Marie Lisco at mlisco@ Germantown-TN.gov or call 901757-7281. Kristi Ransom is the marketing communications manager for Germantown.

undled up in her wheelchair and lanked by a pink posse of her “bestest” friends, Hope Torres was ready for her irst Race for the Cure. “I never imagined myself being here, going through it,” Torres said. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. “But I’m doing great,” she said. Saturday’s event was the 23rd annual Race for the Cure to beneit Susan G. Komen Memphis Midsouth, but the irst to be held in Downtown Memphis. The race moved this year after two years in Collierville and 20 years in Germantown. “It’s hard to move an event of this size,” executive director Elaine Hare said, adding that the Downtown welcome was warm despite the rainy weather. If any of the 9,000 people registered for the race decided to stay home because of the weather, they missed a celebration that carried on Saturday morning. The streets were lined with peo-

The event has already brought in more than $750,000 but the goal is to hit $1 million after fundraising wraps up next month. Many of the people who ran did so with shirts that recognized a person in their lives ighting cancer. Gretchen Dietrich ran for several people, including herself. Dietrich, who won the survivor’s race, was diagnosed six years ago and is still battling breast cancer. She’s also caring for her 13-yearold daughter, Elizabeth Peebles, a leukemia patient at St. Jude. “She gives me the courage to get out there, and she’s given me the will to live all these years,”

Dietrich said. She joked that even after running marathons for 10 years, having cancer “slowed down my time a little bit.” “But when I get out there and run, it gives me a goal to keep going and prove you can do it,” she said. Saturday was not Memphis resident Teresa Sullivan’s irst time walking in the event, but it was the irst since she had a breast cancer scare after a mammogram last year. “It made it more personal for me,” she said. Sullivan said she loved seeing the support from people across the Mid-South, “especially to see the men in tutus.” She and her friend, Kim Elliott White, now plan to walk every year. “It could be any of us at any day,” White said.

State to launch 911 text messaging

In two years, Tennessee residents will have the option to text their emergencies to 911 operators. Tennessee Emergency Communications Board executive director Curtis Sutton says texting will be included as part of a statewide upgrade of 911 communications. Sutton said the new capabilities will help those who are deaf or hard-ofhearing, as well as people who may be unable or afraid to speak. States are updating their 911 systems in response to a Federal Communications Commission order issued in August 2014. The order requires all wireless carriers and text service providers to enable consumers to send emergency texts to dispatch centers that can accommodate them. The Commercial Appeal

Making the right choice and moving down south Memphis asks New Yorkers to choose 901 By David Royer david.royer@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2306

New York may be the concrete jungle dreams are made of, but a team from Memphis is there this week pitching the Bluf City as a place where young professionals can aford to do more than dream. A dozen representatives from the Greater Memphis Chamber of Commerce and city-advocacy campaign Choose 901 are hitting bars and college campuses in New York City with a list of more than 250 local job openings and a mission to recruit millennials to work and live in Memphis. Their message: New York is great, but Memphis offers the metropolitan lifestyle at a price you can aford, with opportunities to make a deeper impact in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they want to make a diference, then Memphis is the place for them,â&#x20AC;? said John Carroll, executive director of City Leadership and founder of that groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choose 901 campaign. Carroll said about 100 people showed up to a Choose 901 party Sunday night at B.B. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blues Club on 42nd Street. Some were native Memphians missing home. Others learned to love Memphis during stints here as law clerks, medical residents or teachers, and were looking for a path back, he said. More events will follow at Columbia Univer-

Sex clubs re-coded, rope lights nixed The Shelby County Commission approved one third and inal reading on changes to the Uniied Development Code that make rope lights illegal and re-categorizes private sex clubs, calling them instead sexual encounter centers. Planning oicials have told both the commission and the Memphis City Council that operators of private sex clubs have argued because their facilities were not businesses, they were not governed by zoning rules for adultoriented establishments. State law categorizes

The nonproit organization is charged with raising one-third of the $72 million necessary to build a 144-bed facility for veterans living in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties. Each of the 13 commissioners is allocated $100,000 that can be donated to a nonproit group or toward a community enhancement project. Commission Chairman Terry Roland donated $80,000. Commissioners Willie Brooks, George Chism, Justin Ford, Eddie Jones, David Reaves and Van Turner each committed to $10,000. Commissioners Melvin Burgess and Reginald Milton each gave $2,500.

sexual encounter centers as businesses, which under the uniied city/county zoning code are allowed only in areas zoned for industrial use and are 1,500 feet away from churches, schools, playgrounds and residential areas. Businesses with rope lights will be able to continue using them for six months before the new code is enforced.

While Choose 901 has sponsored job fairs in Chicago, Nashville and other cities, this is the irst time the group has planned an entire week of events in one place. The trip will cost about $40,000, paid for by the Chamber and a partner organization. If it meets its mark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drawing 50 current New Yorkers to job interviews in Memphis in the next six months â&#x20AC;&#x201D; look for the experiment to be expanded, Chamber President and CEO Phil Trenary said. Memphis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone in trying to sell itself as a destination for the coveted demographic. Columbus, Ohio has been marketing itself as a more-afordable alternative to young urbanites in Chicago and Washington, D.C. But there are challenges here. While cities such as Nashville and Portland have built a brand around attracting young profes-

sionals, metro Memphis lost 3,499 people ages 2534 with bachelors degrees between 2011 and 2013, according to a Cleveland State University study. In a survey last year by Memphis Fast Forward, respondents knocked Memphis for its school system, neighborhood safety and lack of high-paying jobs. But they also praised the low cost of living, Downtown entertainment and nightlife options. Trenary said Memphis feels like what Austin felt like when he was there 20 years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a place busy making a name as a place for young people to move. Maggie Yang, a St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal School grad and New York University student, met up with the Choose 901 crew and said she hopes to apply for jobs here when she graduates with a broadcast journalism degree in May. She said Memphis is still small enough that she can feel part of the community, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big city.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love New York, but Memphis is home and I feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing,â&#x20AC;? Yang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting put on the map.â&#x20AC;?

In the News GERMANTOWN

‘WHIRLWIND’ Can-do designer working on a grass roots plan to brand Germantown schools By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

tephanie Brockway, longtime interior designer, tends to approach the world with creative solutions. In her new role as the chief fundraiser and cheerleader for Germantown Municipal School District, what seems to matter is how quickly she can bring the pieces together. On Oct. 22, roughly two months into her job as the irst executive director of the Germantown Education Foundation, participants were streaming onto the new turf ield at Houston High for the irst Yoga on the Field — a concept that took shape faster than a cobra pose, frankly because Brockway knows her audience. “We have a lot of moms and teachers participating,” she said, looking over a ield scattered with yoga mats. More than 130 yoga fans turned out. The foundation made $10 of each participant. And for every two, one uniform was donated to a Memphis public school, which was so appealing to Brockway, mother of four, she immediately signed on. “I personally want to give back to Memphis. That is the beauty of being executive director. They give me the latitude to make those choices.” Brockway, 45, is now planning a similar Zumba event, a Germantownthemed Oktoberfest, the Stampede Spectrum Color run in April (Spectrum Lighting has signed on as $5,000 founding member) and “by being at the right place at the right time,” found Todd Lochner, general manager at Principle Toyota, who agreed to give $4,000 in gifts for teacher of the month and year awards she initiated. He will also provide the annual honoree a car for a year.

ANDREA MORALES/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Stephanie Brockway, the director of the Germantown Education Foundation, hangs out at Houston High School’s football field during the “Yoga on the Field” fundraising event she helped organize Oct. 22. The Germantown Education Foundation hopes to raise $70,000 this year.

“I was very impressed with the whole thing. That is why I decided to participate,” said Lochner, who also gave $150,000 for the Houston ield. “She’s got a great energy about her and deinitely has a very good heart for it. My mom was a teacher for 30 years. I wish she had had people like Stephanie looking out for her best interests.” The foundation was formed in 2006, when Germantown decided it wanted out of the business of managing and awarding education grants. Mayor Mike Palazzolo, a member of the foundation’s board of directors, said the grants were becoming a political boondoggle. “You can imagine: ‘You’ll be my favorite alderman if you get me this ...,’”

Asian Eatery

he said. Since then, the 10-member foundation board quietly raised nearly $100,000. Most of the proceeds came from corporate or foundation gifts. While that probably will not change, nearly everything else has, starting with Brockway’s visibility, Palazzolo said. “She’s caught the world on ire. It’s like a whirlwind,” he said. “She has a wealth of ideas for branding the organization and so much energy, you can’t corral it.” Before Brockway, for instance, only principals could apply for the grants. She decided teachers should, too, and set up a process. Besides putting the foundation in a position to respond to

more needs, it also connects it to more people. She created a way for students to nominate teachers for awards, and now picks up a stack of nominations weekly. Each is accompanied by the $8 nominating fee, which she also initiated. Broadening the base of supporters is strategic, Palazzolo says. “Now, the conversation is: ‘How can we take this to another level to begin having naming rights for (school) laboratories, meeting rooms and classrooms? How do you develop an annual fund and spark and ignite a real movement to get behind education?’ “She’s doing what I never would have thought could be done,” Palazzolo said.

In the News DEDICATION CEREMONY

Collierville names stretch of U.S. 72 Jimmy Lott Parkway By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

The remnants of Hurricane Patricia dampened Collierville’s plans to dedicate a 1.2-mile stretch of U.S. 72 in honor of late Alderman Jimmy Lott forcing the ceremonies from the new stretch of highway to Town Hall. Instead of an event that was to include police escorts and a cordoned of section of the new divided four-lane highway, the tributes to Lott echoed of the walls and ceiling of the Town Hall foyer. Dignitaries, including Sen. Mark Norris, R-Collierville, remembered the man who for more than four decades gave his free time to the town, starting as a volunteer member on commissions and continuing as the third longest-serving alderman in the town’s history. “Everywhere you look, his ingerprints are on this city,” Mayor Stan Joyner said. Jimmy Lott Parkway goes from Poplar in Collierville southeast to the Mississippi line. Construction on the $19.2 million project started in November 2011. Lott, 76, died in January. The parkway bearing his name is especially poignant because for years Lott and his wife, Dottie, owned Tull Brothers Glass Co. on the stretch, then a two-lane road with a 50-year-old bridge over the Norfolk Southern rail line. “Our grandson said, ‘How cool it will be when we go on Google maps and see it,’” said Hollee Lott,

ANDREA MORALES/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

State Senator Mark Norris (left) laughs with Dottie Lott, wife to the late Jimmy Lott, a longtime alderman in Collierville, at a dedication of a stretch of U.S. 72 in Jimmy Lott’s honor. The ceremony was originally slated to take place at the sign bearing his name, but was moved to town hall because of rain. Alongside Dot Lott is her son Allen (second from right) and his wife Hollee.

Lott’s daughter-in-law. “Poppa’s legacy is not just us and the kids. It goes on and on and on.” When the state Department of Transportation made plans to upgrade the stretch, town officials stepped in with local money for the median and decorative lourishes in the streetlights. “It used to be industrial. Now we believe it is going to transform into a hub for a major road in Collierville,” said Alderwoman Maureen Fraser. Town leaders expect the parkway, with its gently arching bridge over the railroad and grassy median to be the southern entrance to Collierville, will have the same gravitas as Poplar to the west and Tenn. 385 on the east. But it also connects Collierville to Interstate 269, fueling expectations the thoroughfare will usher in businesses that could have big implications for the town. “We’ve seen people do

landscaping, building upgrades. We might even see new construction,” said city planner Jaime Groce. Lott, as a longtime alderman, would have been keenly aware of the project and its implications for Collierville. Coincidentally, as construction wrapped up last winter, oicials began thinking it was a prime project to name in someone’s honor, said Mark Heuberger, public information oicer. “We’d done so much to improve that stretch of road, it was just ripe to be named,” Heuberger said. “Businesses along there feel the town really invested in it. Mr. Lott passed away at a time when that idea was very ripe in everyone’s mind.” The road was named in February. The sign at Tenn. 385 went up irst, noted Lott’s son, Allen, who sees it every day on his way to work. “This is an honor to have them do this for my dad,” he said.

D. Joshua Taylor to lead genealogy seminar Speaker will share advice and stories By Jason Terrell terrell@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2509

D. Joshua Taylor remembers getting hooked on family history when he was 10 years old. “My grandmother got me started,” he said. “She did genealogy for a hobby and she took me with her to the library.” Taylor now makes a living helping people discover their past as a full-time genealogist

and as part of the PBS TV series, “Genealogy Roadshow.” The show kicks of its third season in May. On Saturday, Taylor will be sharing his stories and advice about climbing your family tree at the Tennessee Genealogical Society’s annual fall seminar at Germantown Church of Christ, 8723 Poplar Pike. Taylor started taking genealogy clients in high school. “It was my summer job,” he said. As he went on to college, his family encouraged him to work in a ield that he was passionate about. “You know you can make it

On Saturday, Stephanie Jones, owner of the Me & Mrs. Jones shops and author of “Upstyle Your Furniture,” will expand on the show’s theme with tips for creating, customizing and restyling old pieces of furniture with easy to ind materials. Come for lunch and stay for her talk at 1 p.m. The Arcade opens with a festive preview party Thursday. A irst look at dealers’ oferings is

enhanced by music, wine and delicious food. A new event, Hops, Hors d’oeuvres & Heirlooms on Friday, is a chance for collectors to chat with dealers while sampling refreshments by local craft breweries for only $20 per person. Regular show hours are Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 3 p.m. A ticket for all three days is $10. Enjoy lunch for $10 more. For more information on events and reservations, go to stgchurch.org or call 901-7547282.

Collierville Public Services began loose leaf collection Monday and will run until March 31. Loose leaf collection will follow the regular solid waste collection schedule as closely as possible. During peak times when the leaves fall, leaf collection times will vary depending on the volume of leaves and inclement weather. Before you swap out your lawn mower with a rake, public services asks residents to consider mulching leaves. Leaf mulching not only returns nutrients to their lawn, but is especially helpful to maintain smaller amounts of leaves in your yard. The town’s public service department grinds collected, aged leaves into a soil consistency that is excellent for gardening. Leaf compost material has been lab tested and reports have shown it is an excellent soil additive that will promote growth and add nutrients back into your soil. As a recurring Saturday pro-

gram, Collierville residents may self-load compost from the Public Services Transfer Station, 450 E. S. St., for free from 8 a.m. to noon. For small amounts of leaves and/or if residents do not want to wait on the loose leaf collection equipment due to the high volumes of leaves to collected, resident can bag their leaves. Bagged leaves will be collected on the resident’s regular solid waste collection day. Place loose leaves no more than ive feet behind the curb, typically out of the street so not to block drains, free of debris, sticks, twigs and pine needles. Have them placed in the least amount of large dome shaped piles for collection. Residents may call public services at 901-457-2800 any time and listen to the loose leave phone prompt and to hear what day the loose leaf collection crews are working, or visit collierville.com for updates. Crews try to collect every Collierville resident’s leaves on a weekly basis.

Mitchell Pearce is hero for the day By Beth Rooks Special to The Weekly

Houston High’s Antonio Scott was the winner of the Keeper of the Dream award. He is congratulated by Germantown Municipal School District member Lisa Parker and Supt. Jason Manuel.

HOUSTON HIGH

Houston student wins Keeper of the Dream award

Briarcrest senior Mitchell Pearce has a big heart. He has been volunteering in the Memphis area weekly since his freshman year, tutoring boys in kindergarten through the ifth grade. Recently, he had the opportunity to use his time in a very diferent way. Mitchell was contacted by Donna Kirk, founder of Our Fallen Heroes Foundation, an organization that supports families of ireighters and police oicers killed in the line of duty. This organization strives to provide special events and activities with these children in the absence of their heroes, and hopefully, in the process, bring smiles to their faces. Pearce arrived in his big monster truck to carry James Warren, son of fallen Memphis Police Oicer Timothy Warren who was killed in

the line of duty in July 2011, for a day illed with ishing and fun. Pearce presented Warren with a ishing rod and reel, contributed by Our Fallen Heroes Foundation, and spent the day teaching him to ish, as well as taking Warren and his family on a 4-wheeler ride. Current and retired Memphis Police oicers joined in the fun as well. After an adventurous day together and lots of smiles, Warren was presented with a gift card from the Memphis Police Association. It was a great day to see a Briarcrest student bring of joy to Warren and show appreciation for the sacriice that our police oicers make on a daily basis. Beth Rooks is the director of communications for Briarcrest.

Mitchell Pearce, a senior at Briarcrest, recently took James Warren on a fishing trip.

TARA OAKS By Kate Crowder Special to The Weekly

In a giant assembly at the Temple of Deliverance in Memphis, area residents gathered for a public forum in association with the annual National Civil Rights Museum’s Freedom Awards. The public forum boasted quite a roster of attendees, including Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates and Ava DuVernay, writer/ director of the award winning film “Selma.” The public forum was free to students and was heavily attended. Twenty-nine Riverdale students attended the National Civil Rights Museum Freedom Awards forum. This year’s theme was “Come Too Far to Turn Back Now” and it honored individuals who have dedicated their lives to equality and truth. This exciting field trip was sponsored by Karri Larose, Kathleen Fisher,

Stacy Stevens and Jackie McClinton. The main purpose of the forum is to provide a venue to announce and salute the year’s Keeper of the Dream Awards. Three area students are given this award each year. Students receiving the award are chosen for their leadership and philanthropy in their communities. This year, Houston High School student Antonio Scott was one of the recipients Scott is the HHS class president, and president of many other organizations. Scott believes, however, it was his work with the Mid-South Food Bank that caught the attention of National Civil Rights Museum. His campaign, Houston vs. Hunger, was successful and continues to inspire peers to ight against hunger in the greater Memphis area. Kate Crowder is the communications specialist for Germantown Municipal School District.

Tara Oaks’ Tiger Walk a roaring success By Jean Roberts Special to The Weekly

Tara Oaks Elementary PTA is reaping the rewards of its record-breaking Tiger Walk, as this annual schoolwide fundraiser brought it double the contributions of the previous year. While the final total has yet to be inalized, the Tiger Walk netted nearly $62,000 so far. In the days leading up to Tiger Walk, students enjoyed Spirit Week with dress up days and appearances made by Stripes, the school’s well-loved mascot, during lunch, pick up and drop of times. During the Tiger Walk, students ran laps during a relay as upbeat party music played and parents and supporters cheered. Students wore

Students who raised more than $200 for the Tiger Walk fundraiser had a chance to attend the Picnic with Principals event.

their class T-shirts and many classes wore fun, themed accessories to tie into their class nicknames. Students also learned class cheers to boost their pride and enthusiasm. Goals were set on the individual student level,

as well. Every class had a goal to raise a minimum of $750 and every class met its goal. As a result, every student got to participate in the Water Blast, which allowed students to douse school principals with water blasters or water bal-

loons. Classes that met the goal of $1,500 will receive a playground pack of extra toys to use during recess. Student participation was outstanding, with many students meeting the goal of $50 and quite a few reaching the $200 mark. Students who brought in $50 will be rewarded with a jump rope and Frisbee. Students who collected $200 in donations enjoyed a picnic with the principals. As Tara Oaks Elementary recently celebrated its 20th birthday, one of school playgrounds has shown the efects of age and wear and tear. Money raised from the Tiger Walk will be used to purchase new equipment. Jean Roberts is with the Tara Oaks PTA.

Natalie Bryant plays one of the many games that were available to students during Bailey Station Elementary’s 10th birthday bash.

It’s October and that brings about Red Ribbon Weeks across the Germantown school district. Dogwood kicked of the dress day season with Crazy Sock Day, Sports Day, Mismatched Day, Future Career Day and Red Day. In addition to Red Ribbon Week, they also hosted the Germantown Fire Department clown troupe.

For the past month, Dogwood Elementary families have been encouraged to make donations to the annual Dogwood Family Donation Drive. The funds raised through this yearly event help to purchase technology, provide classroom literature, continue teacher development opportunities and upgrade playground equipment. This year, as an added incentive to help raise funds, school resource oicer Randy Bonds promised to dress up in a ballerina costume for the entire day if the school received more than 75 percent participation from families. The donation drive was a huge success and $37,852.43 was raised and more than 81 percent of families participated.

Matt Scamardo, Graham Boone, Mike Collins and Bo Cotton with the Houston Band hold up the irst place trophy they won at the Vanderbilt Marching Invitational.

Collierville Middle School faculty and students celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Pink Out Day on Oct. 23. Students raised money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation to beneit breast cancer research. They raised more than $3,000.

Bailey Station Elementary recently inducted its new Student Council oicers and representatives for the 2015-2016 school year. Candidates for oicer positions campaigned early in October, and an election allowed all fourth and ifth grade students to vote. Each fourth and ifth grade class then elected two representatives on the council. Terry Dean from the Collierville Chamber of Commerce spoke to guests, parents and students about the importance of leaders and leadership in the community. Supt. John Aitken presented certiicates to each new council member.

Alexander Dupuy, a fourth-grader at Bailey Station, starred as a royal child in his debut performance of “The King and I” at the Harrell Theater. His classmates had the privilege of watching him perform on their ield trip and were even able to stand on stage for a picture.

Eagles erupt to capture state By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

The Houston High soccer team finished the season undefeated and won the state AAA title. The Mustangs were able to get their revenge over Clarksville who beat Houston last year in the title game. This is the second state title in three years for Houston.

HOUSTON 3, CLARKSVILLE 0

Mustangs get revenge, take AAA state title By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

MURFREESBORO — Vengeance, thy name is Houston High. The Mustangs won the AAA state soccer championship Saturday, defeating Clarksville 3-0. It’s the sixth championship in program history and the second in three years. But — perhaps more importantly for all involved — it exorcised the demons from last year’s title-game loss to Clarksville. It was the only match the Mustangs have lost in the last three seasons. “All heart,” said senior Anna Della Rosa. “Last year, to see the faces of (2014 seniors) Robyn Pennella, Connie Strini, Caroline Heavey ... it was absolutely heartbreaking. “We knew that it didn’t matter who was better technically or who had more legs. We knew we would have more heart.” Added junior Paola Ellis, who scored in all three tournament games: “We’re just hungry. It comes from everything we do, even in drills. We know if we don’t touch the line then we’re just cheating ourselves. “Last year, as soon as the whistle blew, we started preparing for this year. We knew we’d have to play the full 80 minutes, not just 40.” And as much as last year’s 3-1 loss

in the inal weighed on the Houston players, it might have weighed on coach David Wolf even more. “I’ve thought about it for the last 365 days,” he said. “But you could tell from the time they woke up today, they were focused. You could tell it was diferent this time.” Houston, which is ranked No. 1 nationally according to MaxPreps and inishes the year with a 22-0 record, was on top of its game. The Mustangs won several corners in the early going and even though they weren’t able to get any in the back of the net, it seemed only a matter of time. Their persistence paid of in the 33rd minute when freshman Jenna Kemp found herself unmarked in front of the goal and slotted home Jillian Baker’s pass to make it 1-0. The Mustangs then put things to bed with two goals in the irst 12 minutes of the second half. Ellis, an Ole Miss commitment, got the irst after turning her defender inside-out before burying one to cap a ine solo run. Jillian Hildreth, who also scored in all three games, got the third after Gabby Little crossed one right on a platter. There was still nearly 30 minutes to go at the point, but there would be no coming back for Clarksville. Houston’s championship was the 33rd state title the Mustangs have won in the 24 years the school has been open

It was raining throughout Saturday’s Division 2-A state soccer championship match between Evanglical Christian School and Franklin Battle Ground Academy in Murfreesboro. Raining goals that is. The Eagles scored three times in the irst six minutes of the second half and went on to defeat the defending champs, 4-1. It’s the first-ever girls soccer title for ECS and ends their year with a 17-3 mark. “I just told them to go out and have fun,” said Ea-

gles coach Jordan Thompson. “Just play joyfully. We had to ight through some things but we did our job.” Maddy Stolnicki’s goal 33 minutes into the match sent the Eagles into halftime tied at 1. But almost immediately after the whistle, the floodgates opened. Freshman Caroline Coolidge got the second with a close-range inish two minutes in before junior standout Molly Martin made it 3-1 three minutes later. Junior Jordan Ricketts then set up Stolnicki’s second that allowed the Eagles to put the game well and truly out of reach — and fulill

BRIARCREST 2, CHATT. BAYLOR 1

Saints earn championship gold By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Scoring opportunities from set pieces — corner kicks and free kicks — are valuable in the sport of soccer. Briarcrest made the most of its chances Saturday, and as a result, the Division 2-AA state championship is coming home to Eads. Taegan Allen and Brittany Hatmaker got the goals as the Saints (18-2-1) won their irst championship in school history Saturday in Murfreesboro, defeating Chattanooga Baylor, 2-1. Briarcrest’s victory capped a huge day for Shelby County girls soccer as the Saints joined Houston (AAA) and ECS (D2-A) as state champs. “I just love it for them,” said Saints coach Alexis

Heinz. “Alyssa (Neuberger), Brittany and Allison (Samisch) came in with me four years ago and this is what we’ve been working for.” Allen, a junior and one of several standouts who will return next year to help the Saints defend their title, opened the scoring in the 12th minute. After the Saints were fouled just outside the box, she calmly stroked the free kick into the upper right-hand corner, well out of the reach of Baylor keeper Peyton Randolph. It stayed that way until the 49th minute, when Allen’s corner found Hatmaker’s head and glanced into the net to make it 2-0. It was her 19th goal of the year and 55th of her career. For Hatmaker it was a sweet way to end her career. She was injured just before the state tourna-

the great potential that Thompson said he saw in his team early on. “I think the Houston game (early in the year that ECS lost 1-0) probably let other people know (about us) for sure,” he said. “But we took a team trip before the season and I saw the potential from day one. Even (Saturday) we had at minimum three freshmen on the ield at any one time. “And you could see that it was a whole team (effort).

Neuberger didn’t score but it was only because of a pair of tremendous saves. The future Dartmouth player ends the season with a remarkable 46 goals and 101 for her career.

Playing a penaltykick shootout against GPS in Friday’s semis helped, Heinz said. “If anything, that game gave us more conidence,” she said. “There was some tiredness but we’ve been able to rotate players all year and it’s just been such a blessing.”

spikes of dark ornamental millet and the gorgeous burgundy leaves of red okra. When members saw what she had, they gasped with plant envy. Like the tomatoes, the zinnias took their time in making a show this year. “I made one sowing of seed for State Fair zinnias in April, but they didn’t do much until recently,” Bill said. According to their package labels, State Fair zinnias are supposed to grow 3 to 5 feet tall and produce flowers up to 5 inches in diameter.

GROWING FROM SEED Tomatoes are also on Diane Reimold’s mind. She remembers reading in my column a few years ago about an easy method for growing tomatoes from seed and wants to know how she can do it now. She’s referring to the way master gardener Ed Sharrow “squishes” ripe tomatoes between his fingers and then puts the seeds and their gel in a pot of soil and covers them with just a bit of fresh dirt. To do it now, Sharrow said

Congratulations!

he would pull the tomatoes apart and allow them to dry on a screen in a warm place. Next March, he would plant the dried tomato fragments in a pot until they are strong enough to go into the garden. That same column included a method recommended by garden writer Barbara Pleasant. Toward the end of the growing season, she buries portions of cut ripe tomatoes with seeds at least 2 inches deep in garden soil at the place she wants them to grow the following year. Then she covers the planting holes with 2 inches of mulch and marks the spots. In the spring, she removes the mulch and gently stirs the soil at the marked place with her hand. Then she covers the spot with a glass cloche or plastic milk jug to warm the soil. Seedlings should push out of the soil before long. When they do, thin them to a reasonable number with space to grow. Then thin again. You can transfer extra plants to other places in the garden or give them away. Be sure to select seeds from tomato varieties that are “open pollinated,” which includes most heirloom varieties. Christine Arpe Gang: chrisagang@ hotmail.com.

Community Jep Williamson rests his head on the grave marker of his friend who was killed in World War II. Williamson and other WWII vets were able to travel overseas and visit the areas where they fought in the war thanks to the Forever Young organization.

HONORING HEROES

Jep Williamson, Andy Dunavant, Jack Taylor, Bob Bedford, Ed Bach, Jim Weaver, Ben Hodges, Thomas Bristow, Andy Poteete and Eddie Spencer, all World War II veterans, recently visited the sites they fought at during the war.

Forever Young sends WWII vets overseas to visit battle sites, graves of fallen comrades By Diane Hight Special to The Weekly

he work to honor Mid-South senior veterans reached a pinnacle over the last 18 months as Forever Young returned vets to the shores of Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Italy and Normandy, as well as the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. The monumental trips all celebrated the 70th anniversaries of the triumph in these foreign lands during World War II.

Although the group had not planned to take vets to Italy, one WWII veteran came to Forever Young with tears in his eyes and said, “You must take me back to Italy because I need closure. You need to hurry though, because I won’t be able to walk much longer.” A fundraising initiative was launched to remember the men who fought in Italy, a war known as “The Forgotten Campaign.” To the vets who fought there, it was hard to forget. B-24 pilot Jim Weaver visited the Florence American Cemetery for the irst time and his brother’s name, Clif, was memorialized on a wall. Clif, a ighter pilot, disappeared on his irst mission in Italy. His body was never recovered. Making the trip brought Jim peace and closure. Furthermore, light engineer, Jep Williamson, visited the grave of one of his buddies killed in action. He got down on his knees, and at 95-years-old, embraced his friend’s marble cross and rested his head against it. As much as he tried, the emotions couldn’t be held back, and there, he wept. Although it is healing to return to their former battleields, not all memories the veterans carry are painful. Eddie Spencer, who saw 550 days of combat and witnessed the bombing of the Abbey at Monte Cassino, said with a grin, “I had two Italian girlfriends when I was here, but now they would be 90-years old, and I don’t think it would be as exciting as it was then.” Eddie would say to every pretty girl he met on the trip, “Do you want to come back to America with me?” Although he didn’t have any takers, he and his comrades were treated like royalty by the Italians. They were very afectionate with lots of kisses, hugs and handshakes for liberating their country from German occupation. Just like Italy, France and Belgium welcomed the veterans with open arms and grateful hearts for what the American veterans did for their countries. “Why would you leave your home and ight for France,” asked one Frenchman with tears streaming down his face. “We cannot thank you enough for your sacriice.” Most of the WWII veterans were extremely moved and quite surprised by the appreciation. “I never would have believed that they’d be this grateful,” said Emerson McBride. “I never would have believed it.” Some of the most special experiences took place in Belgium, such as returning combat veterans, Gerald Hall, John Eanes, Jesse Davis and Charles Young who visited the exact spots where they fought. “ I can’t believe I’m here,” said Hall, a 4th Inf. Division soldier said at the very spot he fought 70 years ago. “It hasn’t soaked in yet.” Special moments continued while visiting the Henri-Chappelle Cemetery in Belgium, where 8,000 young men lie today. It just so happened a choir from Holland was there to sing hymns to the fallen men,

World War II veteran Jimmy Keep and his son, Mickey, stand on top of Mt. Suribachi and proudly hold up their Memphis Grizzlies “We Don’t Bluf” towel and Zach Randolph jersey.

the ones that helped liberate their country in WWII. It was the irst time they had an opportunity to sing to their living liberators. It was an emotional experience for everyone. “We promise to always remember the sacriice,” said one of the choir members. Of the 8,000 men buried there, three Tennessee brothers are lying beside each other. Each one was killed in a diferent place, Belgium, France and North Africa, respectively.

However, let’s not forget the Paciic where the group returned Marine Chuck Voland to Okinawa and Jimmy Keep to Iwo Jima to honor the 70th anniversaries of their battles. Keep’s trip could not have been made without the wonderful support of many Mid-Southerners, including the Memphis Grizzlies. Forever Young arranged for Keep to have a limo at every stop along the way. Keep was honored at the historic ceremony and traveled up Mt. Suribachi with his son, Mickey. As emotional as it was to return to the place of this horriic battle, Keep took an autographed Zach Randolph Grizzlies jersey out of his backpack and had his photo taken with it on top of Mt. Suribachi. Even though he has sufered from PTSD and survivor’s guilt, he was able to go back because so many people wanted to see his return. He had made it. He had survived the battle and the return. It helped him and there was some healing that took place in his mind and soul. What was he most proud of? “We are the only NBA team to have ever been on the top of Mt. Suribachi,” he said with a smile. For Jimmy, this symbolized freedom. He had fought for it and was now enjoying it. “Semper Fi”, he said, “and go Grizzlies.” Forever Young will be taking WWII vets to Normandy, Belgium, and Pearl Harbor in 2016. For more information, call 901-299-7516, email diane@foreveryoungvets.org or visit foreveryoungvets.org. Diane Hight is the founder of Forever Young.
