Students from the Madonna Learning Center, including Linsey Strawn (left), 27, and Elizabeth Ann Neel, 23, can’t hide their excitement as they see their new school for the first time. The grand reveal of the expansion gained drama as students arrived in buses with blacked-out windows.

As the evening traic streamed by on Poplar Avenue, a most unusual spectacle was unrolling at Madonna Learning Center.

With a mighty roar from the crowd of “Move these buses,” two FedEx buses pulled of the front parking lot, revealing the 24,000 square-foot-expansion finished just in time for school.

The students, who minutes before had been on the bus — with the windows taped over in black paper — went nuts, cheering, jumping and hurrah-ing for the school that is their world.

“It’s big and humongous,” said Timothy McDaniel, 19, one of doz-

ens of students in red Madonna shirts shouting themselves hoarse.

“I never could believe it would happen.”

Madonna, which serves spe-

cial needs students, has existed in borrowed spaces since it opened in 1969. It has moved four times,

The upcoming National Baptist Convention should provide motivation for Memphis to up its game in hospitality and meeting facilities, convention organizers and local oicials said Thursday.

“We’re going to begin work real soon on our convention center,” Memphis Mayor A C Wharton told the convention’s host committee, which is projecting up to 50,000 people will descend on Memphis for the event Sept. 7-11.

“Next time they come back, we’ll have a refurbished convention center. We’ll have more hotels, more restaurants,” Wharton added.

If the convention’s projection holds up, the event would be larger than the Church of God in Christ annual Holy Convocation, which moved to St. Louis in 2010 because Memphis didn’t have enough hotels and convention space.

COGIC’s big meeting draws more than 30,000. Before leaving Memphis, the church’s largest assembly booked the FedExForum and had a satellite space set up at the Memphis Cook Convention Center.

The National Baptist event will be handled within the convention center, where maximum seating is 12,000 in the Main Hall.

Wharton was referring to a $55 million to $60 million proposal to renovate and modernize original areas of the 1974 convention center, which only received nominal up-

Villages complex to have 31 apartments

Villages of Germantown plans to break ground next month on a three-story independent-living complex of 31 apartments.

The project, which will feature underground parking, is expected to be completed in late 2016.

The structure will link Villages’ existing independent-living center and extend over what is now an outdoor courtyard. When finished, Villages will have room to accommodate 300 people. Villages is also putting the inishing touches on an assistedand skilled-living addition, which will include accommodations for senior day care large enough for nine clients. It is also building a $22 million, 1,800 squarefoot rehabilitation facility.

The King of Rock and Roll proved once again to be royalty in the world of philately Aug. 12 as the United States Postal Service dedicated a new Elvis Presley stamp during ceremonies at Graceland. The event came as part of the annual “Elvis Week” festivities.

Under the shade of the tall trees on the front lawn of the mansion, several hundred fans joined a group of government oicials, local politicians and dignitaries, including Presley’s former wife Priscilla, to dedicate what is the second Elvis Presley stamp.

The convention center update would be funded by an increase in the hotelmotel bed tax, currently 1.7 percent in the city, to 3.5 percent. An increase requires City Council approval. The bureau also proposed a $2 a room a night fee on hotel rooms in the city.

The proposed convention center update is part of Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau’s concept to spend $500 million from hospitality-related taxes for a convention center expansion about 15 years from now, and attract $400 million in new hotel development connected to the complex.

Many members have family ties in the MidSouth and will stay with relatives, Mercer said.

Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell said he was elated that as many as 50,000 “prayer warriors” would be in Memphis. “I don’t care what you do when you get here as long as you pray,” Luttrell said.

Frank E. Ray, pastor of New Salem Baptist Church in Memphis, said the church has eight cities that it rotates among for its two largest annual meetings. “If Memphis is good to us, we may come more often,” Ray said.

Less than two weeks ago, the same crew packed and moved the whole school back to 7007 Poplar, where school started Aug. 13 in a $7.25 million expansion that includes an art room, music and dance room and a gymnasium.

“We’ve never had a gymnasium,” said executive director Jo Gilbert.

She envisioned the “Extreme Makeover” moment when the students, returned to their renovated home, would see the artistry from the curb.

“As beautiful as this school is, we wanted it to be a really big celebration where we could all see it at the same time,” she said.

The expansion, on the

lica of the stamp was unveiled on stage.

The Elvis Forever stamp uses a 1955 black-and-white portrait of Presley taken by photographer William Speer in Memphis, just a year after the release of his debut recording for the Sun Records label.

The bottom left corner of the stamp features a small gold crown, nodding to his status as “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Presley’s signature, done in gold ink, is included on right side of the stamp.

Priscilla Presley said that he would have been humbled by such an honor. “To have a stamp made after him, not just once … but twice. He would truly have appreciated this — though he never would’ve believed his image would be on a stamp,” she said. “It’s sort of surreal.”

Other speakers included Elvis Presley Enterprises President and CEO Jack Soden, Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell and Memphis Mayor A C Wharton.

east side of Madonna’s existing structure, doubles the school’s size and is accented with backlit stained glass from the Germantown Church of Christ chapel. Until last year, its adult vocational classes were held in the chapel’s basement, part of the church campus Madonna later bought for its permanent address.

“The chapel was 60 years old, and we could only use the space for a limited amount of time because of ire regulations,” Gilbert said. “The classrooms were small. The roof leaked. We’d been putting a Band-Aid on the building for so long...”

Madonna, which serves children and adults with developmental disabilities started in the late 1960s when former Memphis and Shelby County ire chief Bob Winield and his wife, Mary, tried to ind a faithbased school for their disabled son. They believed he had more potential than what was available for chil-

dren with special needs in public schools.

When the Winfields were told the nearest such center was in Evansville, Ind., they went to visit and ended up persuading the Benedictine nun who ran it, Sister Mary Mark Graf, to start a school in Memphis.

It opened in 1969 at St. Peter’s Home for Children in Midtown, and then moved to St. James Catholic Church. In 1996, the school moved to Poplar, where it shared space with a succession of churches.

The new building is wheelchair-accessible and meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, which means no student will have to navigate a wheelchair outside in heat, cold or rain to get to another part of the school, which happened daily before.

It also will allow the school to grow from 68 students to 80 to 100, including serving preschoolers, which it has never done before.

Criminal Court Judge Bobby Carter granted a defense request to conduct a mental evaluation for a Collierville attorney facing charges he tried three times to kill his wife.

The appearance of Fred Auston Wortman III, who was brought from Fayette County, where he faces two of the charges, was brief.

Beyond the mental evaluation, attorneys on both sides said they will see if they can streamline the three cases to handle them in an eicient manner.

The 39-year-old Wortman faces a charge of criminal attempt to commit first-degree murder in Shelby County, where authorities say he tried to poison his wife, Staci, with tainted toothpaste. He also is charged with aggravated child endangerment after one of the couple’s children used the toothpaste. In Fayette County, Wortman faces two counts of solicitation of irst-degree murder.

Wortman’s next appearance in Carter’s court was set for Sept. 21. He remains in custody in Fayette County under a $15 million bond.

News FILM FESTIVAL

Indie Memphis adds new venue to Downtown

FREE GIFT BEAUTY TO GO

Festival to spend 5 days at Halloran

With any Estée Lauder purchase of $35.00 or more. Worth up to $120.00

By John Beifuss beifuss@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2394

The Indie Memphis Film Festival is expanding to Downtown, with five of its eight days of screenings set to take place at the new Halloran Centre for Performing Arts & Education.

Weekday screenings during the 18th annual festival will take place at the new 361-seat Halloran Centre. Weekend screenings will be in Overton Square at the 220-seat Circuit Playhouse and in multiple auditoriums of the Malco Studio on the Square. The festival is set for Nov. 3-10.

The Indie Memphis festival has not been Downtown since 2006. The event for a time was based at the defunct Muvico Peabody Place 22, and during its early years, screenings took place at the Orpheum and various Beale Street venues.

The return to Downtown is an attempt to make the festival more accessible to Downtown residents and to tap into the Downtown tourism market. Indie Memphis typically attracts some 10,000 attendees a year, according to Ryan Watt, a local filmmaker who is board president and interim executive director for the nonprofit organization, which promotes film as an artistic and economic community benefit. “We want to be a tourist destination,” Watt

said.

The geographic expansion matches the expanded Indie Memphis schedule.

This year’s eight-day event marks a change from recent festivals, which packed a great deal of activity — and many competing screenings — into a single long weekend near or including Halloween.

This year, fewer events will take place per day.

Weekend film panels will be at the Hattiloo Theatre in Overton Square, while weekday panels and parties will be at various Downtown locations.

Named for longtime Orpheum president Pat Halloran, the $14.5 million Halloran Centre is set to open in September as a state-of-the-art complement to the historic Orpheum theater next door at 203 S. Main.

The Indie Memphis Film Festival will not be the first film event held at the Halloran. This year’s season of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers begins Sept. 9 at the Halloran with a 7 p.m. screening of director Joseph East’s “I Will Dance,” a documentary about a Selma, Alabama, theater company for at-risk youths.

The Indie Memphis film schedule likely will be announced in late September or early October. Investment banking firm Duncan-Williams Inc. returns as the event’s “presenting sponsor” for the fifth consecutive year.

Festival dates at the Halloran are Nov. 3-5 and Nov. 9-10. The Overton Square dates are Nov. 6-8.

REAL ESTATE

Loeb Properties snags prime Poplar frontage

By Thomas Bailey Jr. tom.bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2388

Loeb Properties has just purchased an entire block of buildings fronting Poplar and now dominates commercial real estate along a mile-long stretch of the busy East Memphis street.

Loeb paid $3.2 million for the Shops of Chickasaw Gardens with plans to renovate the run-down and foreclosed-upon hodgepodge of buildings that run 900 feet from Lafayette Street on the west to Marne Street on the east.

Tenants there include Goodwill, Lamplighter, Cricket, Memphis Nails Salon, PPG Paints, David’s Frame & Art, Boost Mobile, E’s 24 Hour Cafe, Memphis Gold Buyers, Signs First and Memphis Donuts.

Loeb, the company behind the $40 million redevelopment of the Overton Square entertainment district, bought at auction six buildings, including 3137 Poplar, 3163 Poplar and 3181 Poplar. In all, the property comprises 54,000 square feet, including 40,342 square feet of retail and 13,627 of oice space.

Loeb not only plans substantial improvements, but also plans to create a brand identity and cohesion for the property across Poplar from East High’s athletic ield. Now, passers-by

The Collierville Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting for Memphis IT Solutions, formerly Achill Computer Services.

The Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting for Eye Level Learning Center. Eye Level Learning Center of Germantown is an after-school Math and English supplementary education program for students from Preschool to early High School. Eye Level is based on the approach that learning is most efective when teaching is delivered with the individual student perspective in mind. This principle enables student to grow in “height’ or capability at their own pace in a systematic step-by-step approach. The program is designed to nurture a passion for lifelong learning along with critical thinking and problem solving skills. Eye Level program encourages self-directed learning where the child is the key to his/her own learning. There are more than 250 Eye Level Learning Centers nationwide.

MARK WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Loeb Properties has purchased a string of commercial buildings along a block of Poplar between Lafayette and Marne streets.

could hardly know that one entity owns the whole block front.

The renovation will create more green space. “It’s 900 feet of concrete right now,’’ said Aaron Petree, vice president brokerage for Loeb Properties. “It’s one giant curb cut. We’d like to green it up. We’d like to add some type of continuity between the buildings so people wouldn’t pass by and not realize it was not all one. To create it as a destination.’’

Loeb will likely raze a building in the middle to add parking.

“What we learned in Overton Square, restaurants have become the new anchor tenant for shopping centers,’’ Petree said. “We hope to create a situation where we have an exciting restaurant anchor to lease.’’

Loeb, which has

128-year-old roots in Memphis commercial real estate, now owns a string of shopping centers on Poplar from Highland Street on the east to Union Extended on the west.

“That’s a pretty impressive statement for anybody to own most everything in a mile, or whatever that stretch is,’’ said Danny Buring of The Shopping Center Group, who is a broker for retail space in Memphis.

Having such a critical mass of property in a commercial district not only gives Loeb an advantage over the competition, Buring said, but also “you have a better chance of knowing the outcome and knowing what it’s going to look like in ive or 10 years.”

Loeb owns more than 2 million square feet of property, mainly in Tennessee but also in Mississippi.

BRANDON DILL/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

As oicials broke ground on a 4.1-mile extension of the Shelby Farms Greenline from Farm Road to the old Cordova Rail House, Shelby County Public Works Director Tom Needham announced a $2.5 million TDOT grant to extend the trail 2.3 miles eastward to Lenow Road.

SHELBY FARMS GREENLINE

As extension work begins, grant awarded to lengthen trail

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

As work got underway last week on a 4.1-mile extension of the Shelby Farms Greenline, local oicials were awarded a grant ensuring the paved multiuse trail will grow even more.

Shelby County Public Works Director Tom Needham announced Aug. 7 that the Tennessee Department of Transportation has approved a $2.5 million grant that will fund a 2.3-mile extension from the old Cordova Rail House eastward to Lenow Road. The announcement came during groundbreaking ceremonies for a project to extend the greenline from its current terminus at Farm Road in Shelby Farms to the old rail house, located along

Macon Road near B Street in Cordova.

The two extension projects will roughly double the existing 6.5-mile length of the greenline, taking it from the urban core of Memphis, at Tillman in Binghamton, all the way to the middle of farmland.

The 4.1-mile extension should be largely completed in time for next year’s Memphis in May International Festival, Needham said. Wagner General Contractors of Memphis won the $1.44 million contract. The total cost of the project, including land-acquisition and engineering and design, is about $4.4 million — most of it funded through a $3.3 million grant awarded by TDOT in 2011 under the federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality program.

The extension includes a two-phase crossing at busy Germantown Parkway, where trail users will activate signals to cross to a median island protected by concrete barriers. They then will walk north or south to the other crossing, using a second signal to cross there.

The extension from Cordova to near the Tennessee Valley Authority substation on Lenow is at least a year away from the start of construction. The county irst must acquire the railroad right of way from CSX before proceeding to engineering, design and construction.

It will be diicult to extend the trail beyond the Lenow site because from that point eastward, the former rail right of way bed is owned by several individual landowners, not CSX, Needham said.

Schools GERMANTOWN HIGH SCHOOL

In his 45th year, clock still turns back for SCS teacher Aug. 10 might have been the last irst day of school for Goldie Terrell, who has been teaching longer than anyone else in Shelby County Schools.

“I’m thinking this could be my last year. It might be time to retire,” Terrell said as he prepared to begin his 45th consecutive year as a teacher in Shelby County — his 41st at Germantown High.

Four years of high school felt like an eternity to me. But four decades?

No wonder he’s hobbling.

“I had hip-replacement surgery in late June, but I’m moving pretty well,” Terrell said early Aug. 10 as he stood in the rain, under a big red umbrella, directing buses and students. “I’m feeling good.

I’m ready to go.”

Terrell seemed readier than many of the blearyeyed freshmen who iled into his irst-period English class on Aug. 10.

The irst assignment, due the following day, already was on the board.

So was the reading list for the irst nine weeks.

That includes Homer’s “The Odyssey” — which includes this line: “There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.”

The time for sleep is not in coach Terrell’s English class.

He has only 179 more days, less than 179 hours to teach them what they need to know about grammar and syntax, mythology and philology, Homer and Shakespeare, Truth (Sojourner) and Jobs (Steve).

He doesn’t have a minute to spare.

“He’s one of those teachers who teaches

from bell to bell,” said Martha Morris, a librarian at the school. “He’s the consummate gentleman, but he’s also going to push his students to do more than they think they can or should.”

Terrell grew up in Millington. His father, Goldie Sr., grew cotton and soybeans. He also drove a school bus.

“I rode to school with him when I was a sophomore and junior,” Terrell said. “He let me drive to school when I was a senior, but only straight to school and then straight home. He didn’t put up with any nonsense.”

Neither does coach Terrell.

“The most important rule: Be on time to class,” he told his irst-period class, instructions he would give all six of his freshman classes. “Bring your best behavior. Do your homework.”

Terrell is serious about homework.

“I didn’t understand at the time why he was giving us such trivial homework that often did not coincide with everything we were learning in the classroom,” said Shannon Goldsworthy Phillips, who was in Terrell’s class in the late 1980s.

“In a time of encyclopedias, the answers were not always easily found.

He was challenging us.”

The challenge begins

JIM WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

On the first day of school, Germantown High teacher Goldie Terrell tells the students in his firstperiod freshman English class what his expectations are for the year. In his 45th year, Terrell is SCS’ longest-serving teacher.

Terrell walks out to the buses on the first day of school to help students make it inside safely.

on the irst day of school.

“You got double-duty this year. Get ready for 10th grade and prepare for your exams,” he said.

“I want everyone to pass.

I want everyone to get a good grade. But we can’t

give you that grade. You have to earrrrnnnn it.”

Terrell speaks with the assurance of an experienced teacher and the authority of a veteran coach.

He’s had double-duty for decades. He has been

coaching various girls and boys teams at Germantown High since the mid-1970s. His freshman girls basketball team won the county championship in 2005.

“To be honest with

you, I was more focused on coaching the irst 15-20 years of my career,” Terrell said.

“But I didn’t want my co-workers to win all the accolades for our great test scores here, so I worked harder and became a better teacher.

We’re all competing to make this the best school, but we all help and learn from each other. It’s a team efort.”

Spoken like a coach.

I asked Terrell what makes a great coach.

“Great players,” Terrell said with a chuckle.

And what makes a great teacher?

“Hard work. Dedication. Caring. Great coworkers,” he said. “It’s really a team efort. You can teach alone, but you can’t be a good teacher on your own.”

Anything else?

“Great students. We have always been blessed with great students.”

Terrell, a member of the congregation and choir at West Canaan Baptist Church in Millington, feels blessed.

His wife, Karen, is a registered nurse. His son, Jonathan, just graduated from law school.

And he will be spending another year in high school — even though it might be his last.

“Then again,” he said, “I might come back next year. I haven’t decided.

We’ll see how it goes. I get in here with the kids and I get younger. I still love it.

“And I don’t know what else I’d do. I’m not a golfer.”

Not with that hip.

Schools STEM SCHOLARS

On the fast track C’ville launches intensive math, science program

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

The municipal districts started last year in a dash to get school doors opened. This year, their personalities are taking shape.

Bartlett is providing takehome laptops for all sixththrough ninth-graders. The district conducted its inaugural Twitter chat, an hourlong Q-andA on what kids (and parents) can expect.

Into this fold come Schilling Farms and Collierville middle schools, both ofering an invitation-only STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) intensive track, starting with 48 sixth-graders, 24 in each school.

For the next three years, the STEM Scholars in Collierville Schools will take advanced math, language arts and STEM courses together, a trajectory and mix district oicials expect will produce higher achievement heading into high school.

“These children are going from ifth grade to pre-algebra in sixth, algebra in seventh and geometry in eighth,” said Beth Robbins, secondary curriculum supervisor in a school system with some of the highest math scores in the state. Collierville is also one of only two ofering Calculus III, the course beyond AP Calculus.

That means any self- or otherwise directed sixth-grader in Collierville Schools has access to six years of math if they start early enough and a total of 27 AP courses, many like AP Environmental Science, in the STEM bandwidth.

Collierville High put itself on the national radar for STEM in 2013 when underclassman Vance

BRANDON DILL/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Schilling Farms Middle School teacher Erik Shoemake (right) jokes with eighth-grade students Ashwin Suryaram (left) and Harrison Stewart as they work to prepare a STEM lab classroom for mock day, an orientation event for sixthgraders. Schilling Farms and Collierville middle schools ofer select sixth-graders a STEM Scholars track focused on advanced math, science and technology classes.

Hudson took top honors (and $1,000) in the Ivor Sikorsky Helicopter of the Future Challenge.

Runner-up was Sabrina Curley, also a CHS student. Suddenly, the media were beating a path to Collierville High.

“It was a spark for me as an administrator,” said Robbins, who also noticed the kids enrolled in STEM weren’t just those who played with Legos or entered canbuilding competitions. “These were kids in sports, in band, or in no activities at all, and they were blossoming,” she said.

Teachers and administrators started to notice that kids who loved building spaghetti and marshmallow towers in STEM

lab were also doing better in other courses.

“If you take a child who may not consider themselves the smartest math kid, but they like STEM (classes), all of a sudden, they love school,” Robbins said.

“Guess what happens to them?

“In the real world — the way the world is now — STEM can help them build the bridge to whatever is next.”

Besides school clubs and Inventions and Innovations — a broad intro class for seventhgraders taught by Erik Shoemake — Collierville didn’t have a middle school STEM track.

“We decided we wanted to take this a step further,” said Roger

Jones, principal at Collierville Middle. “Building from air,” the district designed an aptitude test in math, science and language arts for ifth-graders and set aside a Saturday in January to give it.

More than 150 students — about 32 percent of the ifth-graders in the town — took the test.

School leaders couldn’t believe the vein they’d struck.

In a blind pool, they identiied the strongest 30 to 40 headed to each middle school, then went to the ive elementary schools they attended to interview 10- and 11-year-old inalists.

“We asked them about clubs they belong to, their hobbies,” said Collierville Middle STEM

coordinator Shelley Pitts. “‘What do you know about STEM? Why do you want to be part of this?’

“What I noticed, they were all amazing readers. There were similarities among them all. They had a natural curiosity,” Robbins said.

Twenty-four headed to each middle school made the cut; 44 percent of them are girls. A counselor will stay with the group through eighth grade, helping students access their strengths and deal with competition school leaders expect will develop.

“We know we can’t keep them all together in every class,” Jones said. “Even parents said: ‘I don’t want them together all the time.’

You want them to be able to get out there and meet just regular kids.”

The push to get students interested in math and science emerged in 1957, when Russia launched Sputnik, Dr. Melissa Gresali, a Vanderbilt University associate professor, said.

Research shows the structure of middle school, with separate classes and “way fewer personal connections,” is hard on students who are in an “emotionally volatile time of life anyway.”

“Kids tend to have more phobias about math than any other subject. If they are getting kids enthused about math and science and showing them how it connects, that’s great,” said Gresali, who also is pleased with the number of girls in the program.

The STEM Scholars were together for the irst time two weeks ago in morning camp icebreakers, engineering competitions and listening to guest speakers Shoemake, Pitts and Schilling Farms STEM coordinator Julia Sellers invited to set the tone.

“Every dad stopped me to say: ‘I cannot tell you how excited my child is about coming every day,’” Robbins said. “And how less stressed they were to be sending their child to sixth grade.”

The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen have passed an ordinance regulating door-to-door sales in Collierville, which will go into efect Oct. 12.

This ordinance replaces a previously established Collierville ordinance that was determined unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Following the ruling, the town received notice from Vivint Incorporated, headquartered in Provo, Utah, who intended to “take all necessary steps to enforce its rights, including ‌ a lawsuitâ€? to force a change the ordinance. The town’s legal counsel advised that the ordinance should be amended to avoid costly litigation.

The town of Collierville has a substantial interest in protecting the well-being, safety and privacy of its citizens, including the ability to protect citizens from unwanted intrusions, fraud, unfair consumer sales practices, as well as criminal activity. The new ordinance provides the town with a means to regulate solicitors while protecting the public’s safety by requiring all people, businesses and organizations wishing to solicit in Collierville for commercial purposes to obtain a permit.

Solicitors are prohibited from soliciting at any location listed on the town’s “No Knock� registry, or from any location with a sign posted prohibiting solicitation. The new or-

dinance includes strict permit requirements, requiring detailed information from those who apply.

Applicants will undergo a criminal-background check, and permits will be denied to those with a criminal history. All solicitors will be issued an identiication badge by the town, which must be displayed while conducting door-to-door sales. Religious groups, charities and political campaigns are exempt from permitting requirements.

Residents will have options on how they manage door-to-door sales at their residence. Property owners who do not want solicitors coming to their home may display signage that reads “No Solicitation� or “No Soliciting� at or near the front residence. The town will provide one free “No Solicitation� decal to all Collierville homeowners, which will be mailed to residents in late September. The town is currently working on a “No Knock� registry that may be found on the town’s website. The “No Knock� registry gives citizens a choice as to whether they want to allow solicitors at their residence. Citizens will be able to submit their address to be included in the “No Knock� registry automatically through a portal on the town’s website. Solicitors are required to obtain an updated “No Knock� list prior to starting a solicitation efort. The “No Knock� registry will be available for citizens to register in September.

Volunteers pitch in at Animal Shelter Special to The Weekly

Volunteers make up a large percentage of the personnel at the Collierville Animal Shelter.

More than 50 percent of the “steady eddie” regular volunteers are 55 years and older.

These “regulars” can be dog or cat people, and each group has a particular job description. One of the greatest needs at CAS right now are dog walkers.

Volunteer Cathy Priester is the CAS’s master dog walker. She began volunteering at the shelter in 2010 after having lost her Jack Russell terrier in 2009. Priester said she wasn’t ready to own another dog yet, but found that spending time with the shelter animals was rewarding in many ways. She trained in both cats and dogs, but decided to concentrate on the dog walking program.

“The dogs have to go outside in extreme temperatures, and the shelter needs volunteers who are willing and able to do that,” said Priester.

The dogs and their walkers go around the pond on the shelter grounds, but the beneits go beyond fresh air, exercise and taking care of their business.

“The goal in the dog walking program is to socialize, love on and increase the adoptability of the shelter dogs,” said Priester.

Some of the dogs who are abandoned at the shelter have incomplete histories on ile, so getting to know them and their needs is a large part of a dog walker’s job.

Because it can be challenging to put a leash on a dog who has never worn one, Priester teaches a class in walking shelter dogs one Sunday each month at CAS. Annie Stout has been a foster mom for puppies at the CAS since 2009. Since retiring in 2013, she has been illing another great need at the shelter — helping out on surgery days. Stout also serves as a liaison between Marshall County and CAS for the Rescue Waggin’ program, a PetSmart charity which transports homeless dogs and puppies to commu-

Rescue Waggin’ eases overcrowding Special to The Weekly

The PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin’ van made a stop at the Collierville Animal Shelter recently.

While a downpour of rain had just fallen, the future was getting brighter for several shelter dogs.

The Rescue Waggin’ picks up dogs from shelters where there is overpopulation and transports them to shelters where there is more likelihood for adoption.

CAS was selected to participate in the program last year and is one of 79 animal shelters in the

dog-saving network.

CAS manager John Harper was overseeing the transfer which took 19 dogs to a shelter in Michigan. A representative from the Rescue Waggin’ program stood behind a table at the front of the shelter and examined each puppy before he or she boarded the van.

As a CAS staf member or volunteer held the puppy, the Rescue Waggin’ rep checked for signs of illness. The puppies conirmed their itness for travel by becoming squirmy a few minutes into the exam. There was a lot of laughter in

the room as each person/ puppy pair made their way through the assembly line and a lot of goodbye hugs as the it puppies were passed through hands at the front door.

CAS’s system of giving each litter alphabetically similar names was helpful in making sure every dog was where he or she was supposed to be.

The Rescue Waggin’ is one of PetSmart’s many charitable programs.

Staff members are trained by Rescue Waggin’ to recognize which dogs are physically and behaviorally eligible to be transported.

hood of them being adopted.

JoAnne Cobb and Beth Vornbeck are “cat handlers” at the CAS. Both spend two or three days a week following the shelter’s schedule of cleaning in the morning and playing in the afternoon.

“The goal is to know the cats,” said Vornbeck.

She and Cobb agree that one of the best things about CAS is making a good match between animals and people. All four ladies agree that one of the rewards of their work is seeing a stray or abandoned animal go from fearful to loving due to the care they receive from volunteers and foster parents.

Priester was inally “ready” three years ago. She adopted an 11-year-old Pekinese who needed dental work.

“He was the one for me,” she said. “He’s 14 now, but he acts like he is 3 years old.”

Sports 2015-16 GRIZZLIES SCHEDULE

Matchups are set Grizzlies to host Cleveland Cavs, LeBron on Oct. 28 at FedExForum to open 2015-16 regular season

By Ronald Tillery tillery@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2353

The Memphis Grizzlies open the 2015-16 regular season Oct. 28 against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in FedExForum.

Memphis plays 13 of its irst 17 games against teams that earned a playof berth last season, according to the NBA’s regularseason schedule released last week.

The Grizzlies’ last home game will be April 9 against the Golden State Warriors, who also host the Griz on April 13 for the regular-season inale.

Memphis will be featured on national television 19 times (ive on ESPN, ive on TNT and nine on NBA TV). The Grizzlies’ NBA TV appearances include games against Cleveland, Dallas, Golden State, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento and Utah.

The New Orleans Pelicans’ visit to FedExForum Jan. 18 at 1:30 p.m. will mark the 14th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day game.

Here are several other highlights for the Grizzlies’ 2015-16 campaign: Marquee matchups: Matt Barnes, whom the Grizzlies acquired in a June

trade, will face his former squad, the Los Angeles Clippers, on Nov. 9 in Staples Center. LaMarcus Aldridge visits FedExForum for the irst time with his new team, the San Antonio Spurs, on Nov. 21. Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol visit April 5 with the Chicago Bulls. Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers come to Memphis on Dec. 27.

Longest home stand:

The Grizzlies play six consecutive games in FedExForum from Jan. 8-18.

Denver, Boston, Houston, Detroit, New York and New Orleans are on the bill.

Longest road trip: A ivegame road slate is in front of the Griz from Nov. 2-9 with Golden State, Sacramento, Portland, Utah and the Los Angeles Clippers as the opponents.

Back-to-backs: The Griz

have 18 back-to-back sets.

And Memphis is one of eight teams that do not play four games in ive days. The others: Charlotte, Detroit, Indiana, New York, Golden State, Houston and San Antonio.

Reducing the number of back-to-back games and four games in ive days that NBA teams play was high on Commissioner Adam Silver’s agenda. Back-tobacks have been reduced to 17.8 percent per team

for 2015-16, down from 19.3 percent last season.

No team has more than 20 back-to-backs this season.

“I think this is the best schedule that we’ve ever produced,” NBA senior vice president of basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe told USA TODAY Sports. “We are extremely mindful of player rest, recuperation and we were able to reduce four games in ive nights and back-to-backs to alltime lows. ... We want to be mindful of putting the best product on the loor that we possibly can. The rigors of an NBA season are tough. Nobody denies that.”

The Griz will tip of a seven-game exhibition slate Oct. 6 against the Houston Rockets in FedExForum. Memphis hosts three additional preseason games at home against Maccabi Haifa of the Israeli Basketball Super League (Oct. 8), Oklahoma City Thunder (Oct. 16) and Minnesota Timberwolves (Oct. 18).

The Grizzlies travel to Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 12 to face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on the campus of Ohio State.

Memphis inishes its preseason schedule with consecutive road games against the Atlanta Hawks (Oct. 21) and Orlando Magic (Oct. 23).

Feast for a King

By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

M

aybe Elvis stepped out to Overton Square in the ’70s — who knows? But if he did, chances are mighty slim he ordered a peanut butter and banana anything from a menu. While he lived,

PB&B was food for the home kitchen; only after the King met his early end did this simple food become the iconic culinary combo that’s forever linked to Elvis.

In her book “Ininite Elvis,” Mary Hancock Hinds writes the phenomenon is a celebrity irst: “What edibles evoke an image of Frank Sinatra or

Cher — or even Abraham Lincoln? If a food category answer on the ‘Jeopardy!’ television game show is ‘peanut butter and banana sandwiches,’ how many would fail to respond correctly?”

Of course, Elvis did not live

by PB&B alone. His former cook, Nancy Rooks, told a reporter for The Commercial Appeal last year, “People

have kind of run that into the ground.” Chances are it got a good stomping last week as Elvis fans were in town to celebrate the King on the 38th anniversary of his death and local restaurants were happy to give the people what they want (and besides, Elvis didn’t invent peanut butter and banana — plenty of folks just lat-out like it).

According to his friends, Elvis didn’t drink much alcohol.

He liked Pepsi, and in the spirit of cola solidarity he might have liked the Jailhouse on the Rocks cocktail at Babalu.

The classic Elvis sandwich in the classic Elvis place: the PB&B (peanut butter and banana) sandwich at the Arcade served here in the oicial Elvis booth.

If a food category answer on the ‘Jeopardy!’ television game show is ‘peanut butter and banana sandwiches,’ how many would fail to respond correctly?”

Mary Hancock Hinds, Author of ‘Infinite Elvis’

butter frosting, is topped with chocolate ganache and served in a pool of banana Anglaise and chocolate sauce.

For something a little diferent, slip into the Zebra Lounge piano bar (2114 Trimble Place, 901-249-8147) for an Aloha Elvis Cocktail and tunes requests.

The King loved barbecue pizza at Coletta’s Restaurant (1063 South Parkway E., 901-948-7652) and you can order it just the way the he did — it hasn’t changed — and eat it in a room surrounded by Elvis memorabilia, including the ticket

for his last ambulance ride to the hospital (along with lots of photos, movie posters and other such stuf). Though Priscilla often picked up pizza and took it back to Graceland, Elvis did eat at Coletta’s; he once tried to order ravioli but was happy with the spaghetti when told they’d sold out.

There’s an Elvis booth at the Arcade Restaurant (540 South Main, 901-5265757), the city’s oldest restaurant, and you can get a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich year-round.

GU

But there’s more going on, too. Elvis loved home cooking — meatloaf, mashed potatoes, biscuits and banana pudding. David Scott Walker at Schweinehaus (2110 Madison; 901-347-3060) is one of the Overton Square restaurants ofering a special for Elvis Week (through Sunday), and he’s a long way from bananas as he’s serving barbecue bologna on brioche. The sandwich, which comes with slaw and sauce on it and fries on the side, is called “(You’re the) Schwein in Disguise.”

Across the street at Babalu (2115 Madison, 901-274-0100), they’ll have King creme brulee, the classic custard dessert, here infused with peanut butter, banana and banana liqueur. Need something to wash it down? Try a Jailhouse on the Rocks, made with Zaya rum and Mexican Coke.

Lafayette’s Music Room (2119 Madison, 901-207-5097) serves Elvis French toast on its regular brunch menu but will have it all day every day to help you eat like the King. It’s French toast made with banana bread, topped with peanut butter caramel, maple syrup and pecans. Yolo (6 South Cooper; 901-343-0438) has a peanut butter and banana gelato, banana pudding, and two specialty cupcakes: The Elvis Presley cupcake is vanilla, decked out in sparkles, and there’s also a peanut butter, banana and graham cracker cupcake.

At Bar Louie (2125 Madison, 901-2071436), they’re adding bacon to the peanut butter and banana sandwich. Sweet Noshings (2113 Madison, 901-288-4753), a candy store, has chocolate peanut butter and banana popcorn. Local (2109 Madison; 901-761-3333) goes back to the savory side with a pork tenderloin sandwich with peanut sauce.

Boscos (2120 Madison, 901-432-2222) has the Elvis Special, a fried catish plate with hush puppies, creamed corn and slaw, and banana cake that will have even scofers admitting they can’t help falling in love. The cake has peanut

The Blue Suede Burger at Marlowe’s on Elvis Presley Boulevard is a lame-grilled patty topped with an onion ring illed with blue cheese crumbles.

Out in Bartlett, you’ll ind Elvis Dippers at Memphis Mojo Cafe (7124 Highway 64, Suite 101, 901-207-6041). They’re Nutter Butter cookies and sliced banana, dipped in a maple wale batter and deep fried. You dip them in butterscotch banana cream.

In East Memphis, stop by Muddy’s Bake Shop (5101 Sanderlin, 901-6838844), where you can get the King cupcake through Saturday — banana cake, peanut butter frosting and a banana chip on top.

There’s a Graceland wale on the brunch menu at Cafe Ole in CooperYoung (959 S. Cooper, 901-343-0103), which is just across the street from the Beauty Shop, (966 S. Cooper, 901-2727111) a restaurant that used to be a real beauty shop and where Priscilla got her updos did, and sort of kitty-cornered from Alchemy (940 S. Cooper, 901-7264444), where the Hound Dog bourbon cocktail was named one of the Top 50 drinks in the country by New York magazine.

Automatic Slim’s (83 S. Second, 901525-7948) serves Elvis pancakes, banana with peanut butter sauce and sliced bananas, of course, at Saturday and Sunday brunch. Of course, the King was anything but a food snob and loved a Krystal burger and his jelly doughnuts. There are about a dozen Krystals around town.

Keep it local with the doughnuts and go to Gibson’s Donuts (760 Mt. Moriah, 901682-8200).

And there’s Marlowe’s (4381 Elvis Presley Boulevard, 901-332-4199), just about the most popular place in town for Elvis fans, a little shy of Graceland. Hinds calls it the clubhouse for Elvis week, the place where everyone gathers. You can ind a Hunka Hunka apple pie, a Blue Suede burger, an Elvis burger or The King steak.

There’s barbecue, fried green tomatoes, even hand-breaded chicken tenders with just one law: They should be named Love Me Tenders.

Apartment Maintenance Kathy Russo (front row), Luisa Stubbs, Gisela Pickett, Becky Priddy, Janie Deere, Barbara Pendergrast (back), Regina Scruggs, Carol Hammond, Barbara Dodge and Sylvia Waters, all members of the Germantown Garden Club, recently met for their “Summer Fun Day� luncheon. One of the topics was helping increase the monarch butterfly population.

GERMANTOWN

Garden Club sets goal to help increase monarch population

By Jane Deere Special to The Weekly

Recently the Germantown Garden Club met for its “Summer Fun Day� luncheon. GGC president, Barbara Pendergrast again encouraged club members to support the National Garden Clubs, Inc. goal of helping to reverse the decline of the monarch butterly.

She stressed the particular need for the planting of asclepius incarnata, swamp milkweed. This plant species is conducive to the development of young monarchs. Butterlies aid in pollination of plants, which is extremely important in growing food

crops.

Butterlies may not be the great pollinators that bees are, but they certainly have their place in the ecosystem. Probably the most important one being their fragility, therefore making their demise an indicator of ecological changes. In a small way, it’s like the canary used by coal miners to detect dangerous gases.

An important reminder about butterlies and bees is using no pesticides.

The GGC encourages others to join in the effort to improve the local habitat, not only, of the monarchs, but all butterlies. To help with that endeavor, a few plants for Tennessee gardeners

should consider planting are butterly bushes, milkweed, conelowers, phlox, sunlowers and verbena.

Gardeners can supplement plant nectar with old sliced fruit on a small plate with a little water or juice added. They can also make nectar by boiling four parts water/one part sugar. Place in plate with a bright colored scouring pad or sponge for the butterly to perch on and elevate the plate on a stand.

With a little efort, people can enjoy those delicate creatures that add so much beauty to our yards and gardens.

Jane Deere is a member of the Germantown Garden Club.
