Red Devil thriller G’town edges Dragons on TD in inal seconds

By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

It was one of those moments that takes kids a million miles away from fun of a football field to a place called harsh reality. Collierville’s Blake Stigger, in the middle of a scrum, had taken a hard shot to the helmet and lay motionless on the ground, while his teammates and Germantown watched for several minutes while he was loaded onto an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital — for what fortunately turned out to be precautionary tests and a mild concussion.

When it was over, however, there was still the matter of 3 ½ minutes of football to be played.

And on Senior Night, the Red

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic event in 1871 that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week highlights a specific theme each year and has been observed on a national level the week of Oct. 9.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, yet it is preventable.

More than 600 people throughout the Greater Memphis area are expected to participate in the 12th annual Memphis Out of the Darkness Community Walk, a fundraiser that supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) local and national programs.

The walk begins at 10 a.m. (registration begins at 9 a.m.), on Saturday at Memphis Botanic Garden, 750 Cherry Road. The goal is to reduce the annual rate of suicide 20 percent by 2025.

“We walk to support those who suffer from mental health conditions and raise the money for research and prevention programs that will save lives,” said Tom Dickson, chair of the Memphis/Mid-South AFSP Chapter and co-chair of the Memphis area Out of the Darkness Community Walk.

Monies raised from the walks have helped fund area support groups for those who have lost loved ones to suicide, in addition to community education programs.

The Walk is one of more than 360 Out of the Darkness Community Walks held nationwide this fall.

“These walks are about turning hope into action,” said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. “Suicide is a serious problem, but it’s a problem we can solve.”

In the News EDUCATION

Shelby County ranked low in report on kids No. 93 of 95 in state for overall well-being

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

Shelby County ranks 93rd out of 95 counties in Tennessee for overall child well-being, according to a Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth report.

The ranking takes into account three years of data on

11 indicators, in categories including health, safety and education.

Most of the information released in a state report on childhood wellness in Tennessee and Shelby County isn’t new as a concept — Shelby County historically has had high rates of poverty and low rates of high school graduation.

The report, which averages three years of data from 2011 through 2013, shows an overall dismal picture for many chil-

dren in Shelby County — with an unexpected bright spot with child abuse cases.

The report is a companion to the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2015 national report ranking states on childhood well-being. Tennessee was ranked 36th nationwide.

Previous state-level commission reports, titled “Kids Count: The State of the Child in Tennessee,” included only a year’s worth of data and did not rank the counties. The 2014 re-

port, released last week, is the irst to rank the counties.

Shelby County ranks 73rd for percent of children living in poverty, 86th in teen pregnancy and 79th in infant morality.

The county’s highest ranking was in substantiated child abuse and neglect cases, where Shelby ranked 14th.

Gwendolyn Wright, the commission’s regional coordinator, said she was impressed with that ranking and cited the successes of educational programs

to ight abuse.

While the numbers are the most recent available, Wright said, there have been programs instituted since 2013 to tackle issues such as infant mortality that have shown progress.

“I think that’s something we’ll do a lot better on” in future years, she said.

But the two lowest rankings, both in education, put Shelby County dead last for high school graduation rate and school suspensions.

Police capture robbery suspect

West Memphis police captured a man Oct. 7 in connection with an aggravated home burglary Oct. 5 in Germantown.

Jefery Justin Bay, 26, was arrested in connection with a burglary in the 3000 block of Steeplegate.

Bay was in the garage and pointed a gun at the victim as he led. He left heading to Collierville.

Police pursued the car and got the tag number but did not engage in a highspeed chase. They say Bay later crashed the car in Memphis.

He is also charged with theft of property, aggravated assault, possession of a irearm during the commission of a dangerous felony and evading arrest.

In its 169-year history, the Memphis Fire Department has lost 53 of its own in the line of duty.

On Oct. 4 at the Fire Museum Downtown, ireighters gathered to remember those 53, joined by many family members of those who fell.

In a solemn ceremony, the name of each fallen ireighter was read aloud, from Edward Leonard and Peter Leath on Jan. 6, 1880, to Wendell Jefery, lost on Oct. 24, 2005.

A bell tolled after each name, and a ireighter or family members of those lost placed a single red rose on the museum’s memorial wall.

“As I look at the 53 names, I see ... many men that I worked with, ate with and fought ires with,” Memphis Fire Director Michael Putt said.

The Memphis Fire Department hasn’t lost a ireighter in 10 years, since Jefery’s death. That matches the longest sustained streak of years with no fatalities since the 19th century.

“Isn’t that great?” Putt said. “I I knew I had to get it in,” said Leavy, who capped an 88-yard drive with the plunge and then ran for the two-point conversion.

On a soggy, slippery night that had produced several fumbles off wet snaps in key spots, the Devils went largely to a running ofense behind readoption specialist Miles Guyton, who came of the bench for the second half.

“He gives us more elusiveness and that read-option capability,” Smith said.

“We determined we wanted to stay on the ground as much as we could.”

Trailing 14-13, Guyton had moved his team from its 12 to 35 at the time of the injury, and the Devils came out charging with a 20-yard after play resumed. But after stalling just inside Collierville territory, Guyton threw a fourth-and-8 pass to Rodney Williams, who made a diving catch. It moved the Red Devils to the Dragon 26, and four plays later

really don’t know (why). I know we’ve changed our responses over the years. Maybe it’s the extra manpower, looking out for each other.”

One of those names on the memorial wall was Joseph Boswell,

they were on top.

Collierville (4-4. 2-3) took a 14-0 lead as sophomore quarterback Matt Connors scored from a yard out in the irst quarter, then turned a Germantown fumble deep in their own zone into a 5-yard TD pass to Ryan Stanill.

But Brylan Sullivan took the ensuing kickof 98 yards to keep Germantown in striking distance.

With 9:39 to go, Guyton pulled the Red Devils within 14-13, scoring on a 15yard run. But a mufed snap killed the extra point play.

Collierville coach Mike O’Neill said it was a tough night, and a hard lesson for his young squad.

“We had the chance to go up (21-7), but we let Germantown hang around,” O’Neill said. “And while you know it’s hard for kids to watch what happened (to Stigger), and you know how much they hurt, you still had to step up. Germantown did, and we’ve still got some growing up to do.”

lost on Jan. 11, 1993, after injuries sustained battling a ire at the Pilgrims Hope Baptist Church in Frayser.

His aunt, Sherry Boswell, came to remember a man she thought of more like a sibling than a nephew.

“We were very close in age. We grew up as brother and sister,” she said. “You never want your family members to be forgotten. You don’t get over it. You just get on with your life.”

Donna Kirk came to the ceremony Oct. 4, as she has for many years since her husband, Trent Kirk, died battling the infamous Family Dollar ire in Frayser in 2003.

Kirk and fellow firefighter Charles Zachary responded to that ire on June 15, 2003. Both were inside when the roof collapsed, killing Kirk that night. Zachary died the next day.

Investigators later determined that the store manager, Anthony Paul Shaw, started the ire to cover his theft of $110 in cash, $282 in rolled coins and numerous checks made out to Family Dollar.

Shaw later pleaded guilty to starting the ire and was sentenced to 50 years behind bars.

Elections ELECTION ANALYSIS

What comes next for victors?

City budget, crime, pension some of the top items

land largely sided with the mayor in those key 2014 votes.

Given how heavily Strickland campaigned on attacking crime, his tenure will be measured by many on just how much the crime rate rises or falls. As late as last month, Strickland said the declines have to be more than “ive, six or seven percent reductions,” ofering would-be critics a bar.

No mayor has a knob to turn crime up or down, given how complex the issue truly is. But Strickland may start with a bit of a head-start: Recent numbers from the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission say crime is slightly down from 2014.

Likewise, Strickland has a benchmark igure on which the city’s war on poverty will be judged: Just shy of 30 percent of Memphians were living under the poverty line in 2014. Strickland produced an in-depth plan to attack poverty during his campaign, and he may ind an ally in the Greater Memphis Chamber, particularly its Chairman’s Circle, which has been more vocal in recent years about the need to direct resources to combat poverty.

A similar situation exists in the city’s war on blight, which was amped up under Wharton.

Awareness of blight seems to have skyrocketed in recent years, with various groups, including the three-year-old nonproit Neighborhood Preservation Inc., making major strides in this space.

Yet the new mayor and City Council will ind what mayors and City Council members before them have found, too: These problems didn’t arrive overnight and aren’t the result of any one factor, and they won’t change quickly from simple ixes.

Whether Strickland and council members can hasten change on those fronts in a noticeable way in the next four years will go a long way toward deining 2019’s results — just as they played a major factor in Wharton’s dismissal last week.

By Kyle Veazey veazey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2799

Nearing midnight Thursday at his victory party at the Memphis Botanic Garden, as the inal well-wishers trickled out the door and the balloons had long been popped, mayor-elect Jim Strickland put a hand on the shoulder of his consultant, Steven Reid, and shot him a look.

“Now what?” he asked, and the two men laughed.

Though he was joking, Strickland, a City Council member since 2008, is surely well aware of the challenges that await him and a new-look council when they’re sworn into oice on New Year’s Day. Many of those challenges exist on the city’s inancial books.

For all the pain wrought in the 2014 beneit cuts to city employees, Memphis remains far from meeting a state mandate to fully fund its annual pension fund contribution by 2020.

In the current budget, the city is shoveling $46.5 million toward its pension fund — a signiicant improvement over recent years, when the annual payment was less than $20 million. Problem is, the city’s actuaries recommend an annual payment in the $75 million range, and the nearly $30 million step must be made by the end of the decade.

That demand alone strains the city’s annual operating budget, which this year is $658 million. Moving $30 million from one line item to another within that budget isn’t easy, especially as the city’s revenue projections aren’t likely to dramatically rise anytime soon. (The inancial ight has an external front, too, as a proposed cut to the state’s income tax on certain investment income, spon-

sored by Germantown Republican Brian Kelsey, could cost Memphis $15 million annually.)

The city’s annual debt payments remain high, too, clearing well over $100 million annually. The debt issue drew comparisons to the devil from inance director Brian Collins in the spring, and former council member Shea Flinn, a Strickland ally, called it “a monster breathing down our neck.”

Strickland has steadfastly opposed a property tax increase while on the City Council, saying the city’s rate is a detriment to attracting business and contributes to population loss.

If there is no appetite for a tax increase, major renovations to the way the city does business could be in order. Just how major are the renovations that Strickland intends to propose, and the City Council has a palate to accept, will be a major point to observe in the coming years. There is no shortage of proposals and consultants’ studies on the record of cuts.

Mayoral elect Jim Strickland visits with a supporter outside a polling site on Thursday afternoon.

While Strickland has a reputation as a budget hawk, some of his own campaign trail pledges would need to ind funding. Strickland joined the chorus of candidates who want to increase the complement of police oicers from about 2,000 to around 2,400.

Regardless of head count,

the city faces constant pressure to increase the pay of its employees, particularly ire and police, after a high-proile series of departures in the wake of beneit cuts. Union leaders may not hold Strickland in the same contempt they held outgoing Mayor A C Wharton, but it isn’t lost on them that Strick-

In the News SHELBY FARMS PARK CONSERVANCY

The time is right

Laura Morris announces her retirement

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

Hours after she announced her retirement, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy executive director Laura Morris donned a hard hat and a yellow safety vest Oct. 6 and strode across a new wetland bridge, down a recently completed promenade and up a gentle slope that provided a view of the vast, busy construction site that has been her recent obsession.

The $52 million “Heart of the Park” project spread out before her, with bulldozers carving the inal parameters of the greatly expanded Patriot Lake and work progressing on picnic pavilions, an events stage, boat house, restaurant and event center and other additions to the 4,500-acre park near Memphis’ eastern edge. Stepping through the metal framing of what will be the visitors center, the 57-year-old Morris stopped and gazed somewhat wistfully toward the southwest.

“This would have been my view from the executive oices,” she said.

Still, Morris insists the time was right to announce her retirement. She won’t be leaving for at least four months — enough time for her replacement to be hired and settled — but, with completion of the park improvements still about a year away, it’s a little earlier than her initial timetable.

PHOTOS BY JIM WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Jay Donaldson with Scott Contractors waits for his water truck to fill at Shelby Farms, where he sprays the construction site to keep dust at bay while work continues on the $52 million Heart of the Park project. The park conservancy’s executive director Laura Morris has announced that she will step down in a few months.

“I always thought the time to step away would be after we completed construction,” Morris said. “But as we got serious about planning, it seemed to make a lot more sense to let the next executive director play a signiicant role in planning for the public grand opening.”

Morris, a Memphis native with a background in business and journalism, was named executive director of the conservancy in July 2010, just a couple years after the private nonproit organization began managing the park under an agreement with Shelby County. Since then, she’s overseen the completion of improvements that include an innovative playground, a scenic pedestrian bridge over the Wolf River, the initial 6.5-mile segment of the Shelby Farms Greenline and the planting of

Perhaps more importantly, she headed the fundraising efort that took in $70 million in private and public funds to pay for those projects as well

as the more ambitious Heart of the Park project, which is expected to boost the number of visitors to Shelby Farms to 2 million annually, nearly double the current number. Comple-

tion is expected around the summer of next year.

When she assumed the post ive years ago, Morris agreed to a salary of about $120,000 — 40 percent below the $200,000

paid to her predecessor, Rick Masson — because “for the work we were doing at the time, it seemed fair,” she said. Although the park operations have grown — 27 full-time staf members now work there — her salary for 2013 still stood at $120,834, according to the most recent tax ilings available.

Conservancy officials say the compensation level for the next executive director hasn’t been determined.

A “national and local” search will be conducted by the committee comprising members of the conservancy’s board of directors, said Jen Andrews, director of development and communications.

Whoever is hired will have a diicult act to follow, say many who have worked with Morris.

Joe Royer, president and co-owner of Outdoors Inc., who has helped with planning boating facilities for Patriot Lake, said Morris’ work has been “very positive for the Memphis metropolitan area” in connecting Shelby Farms to neighborhoods across the city and county.

“The park is kind of the Central Park for the MidSouth,” Royer said. “Laura has been real instrumental in that connectivity.”

Morris, who as a child began going to Shelby Farms with her father, a Boy Scout leader, said she plans to continue spending time in the park. “Some of my best childhood memories are from here,” she said.

“It’s been a lot of good, hard work,” Morris said of her stint as executive director. “But I can’t imagine a more rewarding career for anyone to have.”

Dollar Tree alters plans to fit streetscape

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

The host of new dollar stores dotting Memphis since the Great Recession gives more people access to discount products, but often little character or pedestrian support for the urban streets.

Charm and walkability are core values for Midtown’s Cooper-Young neighborhood, which leapt into high alert last winter when developers of a Dollar Tree submitted suburban-style plans for 995 E. Parkway S. On the district’s southeastern border, the site is where an old McDonald’s restaurant building stood vacant for years.

“It popped up,” Kristen Schebler said of the developers’ application to get their original plans approved by the Board of Adjustment.

“It’s not a big box, but it is a mass-produced kind of thing,” said Schebler, executive director of the Cooper-Young Community Association. “We had concerns about that in terms of the vibe of the neighborhood.”

She and Tamara Cook, executive director of Cooper-Young Business Association, reacted with “Who is this? What happened?

What do they want to do?

This does not follow the development code. This does not follow the (Midtown zoning) overlay. This is a problem,” Schebler recalled.

They contacted the de-

veloper, Mobile, Alabamabased Elcan & Associates, and did not mince words.

Schebler recalled their warning: “If you go forward with this, we will oppose it. We will go to all the meetings. Take it to the paper ... This is not good.

You do not want to go forward with this.”

The warnings worked.

In about two weeks, construction crews will complete a 10,000-squarefoot Dollar Tree that veers far away from the original plan.

Instead of the typical car-centric design of being set back from East Parkway with parking in front, the side of the building sits so close to the sidewalk that no car can park between the store and the street.

Instead of a faux stucco veneer, the exterior building materials were changed to cement-board stucco and brick.

Bruce, a leafy residential street, borders the west side of the site. To prevent commercial traffic from disturbing the neighborhood calm, two drive openings connecting Bruce to the parking lot have been plugged with curbs, and a 6-foot fence will be erected.

“I think their revised site plan does indeed show a willingness on the part of the industry to strike a middle ground with neighborhoods and planning professionals that are pushing for more walkable neighborhoods, even on streets like East Parkway that have historically had

Developers of a new Dollar Tree store on East Parkway revised their original site plan to conform to the Cooper-Young neighborhood’s core values of charm and walkability.

The building is turned north so that its east side faces East Parkway and so parking spaces do not come between the store and the street. A 6-foot fence will be erected on the west side of the site to help prevent commercial traic on Bruce, a residential street.

relatively low levels of pedestrian traic,” Josh Whitehead, the Memphis and Shelby County planning director, said in an email response to questions.

While a parking lot is in front of the store — the building is turned

north so that its east side faces East Parkway — the parking spaces do not come between the store and street. “I call this the hybrid model since it is conducive to both the pedestrian and vehicular customers,” Whitehead said.

Elcan representatives did not return a reporter’s calls. But land planner Forrest Owens of ETI Corp., which consulted for Elcan on the project, called the episode a “feel-good story.”

“Luckily, the developers were willing to work with

us,” Owens said. “ ... I think the neighborhood was really pleased with (the outcome). And I don’t think it gave the developers too much heartache and it met requirements that Dollar Tree has. They recognize they have to work with neighborhoods.”

It’s not the irst time that the new dollar stores have conformed to urban streetscapes.

The University District worked to ensure Family Dollar built up to the corner at Highland and Spottswood. Another new Family Dollar abuts the sidewalks at Jackson and Belvedere in the Vollintine-Evergreen neighborhood.

And yet another Family Dollar sits close to the sidewalks at Thomas at Chelsea.

On Oct. 28, the Board of Adjustment is to hear an application for a proposed Family Dollar on the southeast corner of Lamar and Seattle. The developer already proposes to position that store up to the Lamar sidewalk.

FedEx chief talks tech, e-commerce at logistics conference

Employees sort packages Oct. 6 at FedEx Express’ world hub at Memphis International Airport.

Holiday rush FedEx hiring 55,000 nationwide to meet peak-season shipping demand

By Wayne Risher risher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2874

FedEx hasn’t projected holiday shipping volume yet, but the company already is ramping up for another record peak season at the Memphis hub.

The package delivery giant plans to add more than 55,000 seasonal workers this fall throughout the nation, including more than 500 at the Memphis hub.

The company announced systemwide hiring plans in September, as it has in recent years, but this is the irst time it has broken down numbers for the hub, which maintains a year-round workforce of about 10,000.

“We’re hiring right now,” said Cedric Taylor, a managing director of operations at the FedEx Express world hub at Memphis International Airport. “We’re encouraging people to go online at fedex.com/ careers to apply.”

Taylor, who manages about 2,000 hub workers, said the vast majority of positions are part-time package handlers and other support functions.

Taylor said the jobs are physically demanding and place a premium on teamwork.

“Things move at a very fast pace here. As you can imagine, there are a lot of employees who work in internal operations, so you have to work together as a team.”

“They have to be able to lift or maneuver up to 75 pounds,” Taylor said. “They have to complete basic training. Our employees are not afraid to sweat, because it’s a physical job.”

Taylor said starting pay for the seasonal hires is “competitive,” and they are eligible for beneits that include medical, dental, vision, paid time of and 401(k) matching.

Some package handler jobs posted on fedex.com/careers showed starting pay of $11.90 to $12.26 an hour.

The company typically waits

until later in October to project seasonal volume and when its peak shipping day will fall.

In September, FedEx executives said they expect to beat last year’s peak, which saw more than 290 million packages move from Black Friday until Christmas.

Taylor said hiring begins early so workers will be ready for the push.

“As the package volume increases through the network, we will increase the number of missions, meaning the aircraft and the trucks that come into our facility both on our day and night sort,” Taylor said. “It gets very hectic, very exciting.”

Most seasonal hires in Greater Memphis are at the hub, spokeswoman Katie Wassmer said. Companywide, a majority of this year’s crop of seasonal workers will be hired by trucking-based services FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight, which both have signiicant operations in the Memphis area.

Wassmer said FedEx is wooing applicants through outreach to media, traditional and online advertising and in face-to-face interactions, such as job fairs.

FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith told a Memphis logistics conference Oct. 7 he doesn’t see driverless trucks or drones delivering packages anytime soon.

But autopilot systems for trucks could make highways safer and help solve a truck driver shortage by making the job less stressful, Smith said.

The chairman, president and chief executive of Memphisbased FedEx Corp. held forth on topics ranging from the global economy to the continued strength of e-commerce.

He was interviewed by Peter Tirschwell, senior director, content, for IHS Maritime & Trade, during the Journal of Commerce Inland Distribution Conference at Memphis Cook Convention Center.

Smith said drone deliveries of packages are coming, but will require a proven track record of safety and reliability. Online retailing giant Amazon has been pushing ahead on plans for drone-delivered packages.

Smith, 71, a pilot since his teens, said “the worst thing about things that ly is that on occasion, much more rarely now than when I irst started, they hit the ground in an uncontrolled manner. I think one of the things that has amazed me is sort of the blasé approach that a lot of people in the popular media have taken to these potentially lethal devices swarming around over our heads and in our neighborhoods.”

As to driverless trucks, Smith said, “I think what you’re going to see ... pretty quickly is trucks with autopilot. That’s diferent than driverless trucks, obviously. I think the autopilot is going to change the ambiance,

the experience of driving a truck, because it is stressful.”

“I think very rapidly you’re going to see the ability for the Fred driver, on the Smith highway, at least, to put the truck on autopilot. Perhaps even more importantly, we’re campaigning as fast as we can do in our units, to adopt collision avoidance,” he added.

Smith told the group that digital commerce is the dominant industry trend, but it’s bringing new challenges for delivery companies. A higher percentage of deliveries is to residences, which he termed “less productive than commercial deliveries,” and consumers increasingly believe anything can be bought and shipped online.

“The average size of e-commerce packages is getting bigger,” Smith said. “You go into a FedEx Ground facility these days, you will be amazed at the kayaks and tires and all kinds of things that don’t go through the automated sort system.”

An increased surcharge for items that exceed FedEx Ground’s published maximum dimensions was announced as part of 2016 rate increases and will go into efect Nov. 2.

While he was bullish on ecommerce and the coming peak season, Smith was lukewarm on world economic prospects in a low-growth climate he blames on bad government policy at home and abroad.

“I think the economy worldwide is low growth,” Smith said.”I think policies in all three major sectors, trading ecosystems, are bad. They are business agnostic at best and anti-business in many places.”

In the News CROSSTOWN CONCOURSE

Repurposed tower strives for sense of community

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

The vast Central Atrium — 6,000 square feet of loor space that soars 114 feet high — may be the glossiest of Crosstown Concourse’s many architectural treats.

But the most challenging design challenge will be creating a sense of community among the 3,000 people who come and go at the 1.1 million-square-foot building daily, said Todd Richardson, co-leader of the development team.

After all, he, co-leader McLean Wilson and others are building a mixeduse vertical “village.”

When the $200 million behemoth opens in 2017, Central Atrium will not

just be an entrance with reception and security desks, a cofee shop, two banks of elevators and the adjacent farm-to-table Kitchen Next Door.

A set of 25-foot-wide “theater stairs” climbing from the second to third loors will provide amphitheater seating for tenants and visitors alike when the building’s artists, doctors and educators lead lunchtime programs.

It’s not enough to have mere corridors connecting the 265 apartments on loors seven through 10. These apartments will have front porches.

Apartments surrounding the residential atrium will have a common media room, common kitchen and a shule board court.

Already, 110 of the

apartments are pre-leased through institutional tenants like Memphis Teacher Residency. If Dr. Scott Morris gets his way, apartment dwellers will be screened, essentially, for his or her willingness to participate in the community of the place.

“I’m interested in having certain people living in the building I refer to as ‘wise people,’ ” said Morris, whose Church Health Center will be the largest oice tenant. “For me it’s going to be a privilege to live here.

This is not just about renting apartments...”

Church Health Center patients won’t just sit in a waiting room for their appointment; they’ll be given electronic devices so they can wander to the art exhibits and other ar-

eas while they wait.

Construction is on schedule, said Wilson.

The 3,200 newly replaced windows and new skylights and light wells ill the giant space with light.

Even small apartments will ofer expansive views with windows 7 feet tall and 16

feet wide. The interior apartment halls have light wells carved out to brighten the walk. Among the more interesting items in a new fact sheet produced for the tour: the Concourse will generate enough airconditioning to cool 700 three-bedroom houses;

more than 1,500 new doors will be installed; more than 360 miles of brick joints will be restored; more than 10 million pounds of metal have been removed and recycled. Ninety percent of the oice space already has been pre-leased, Richardson said.

AIR TRAVEL

Entrepreneur sees business, tourist travelers on Memphis route

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

Flying 30-seat Saab turboprops between Memphis and New Orleans doesn’t strike aviation entrepreneur Calvin Fayard III as a huge business risk.

But scaling up a huband-spoke airline to ill in for the old hub at Memphis International Airport is a far riskier bet than the New Orleans lawyer wants to take on.

Fayard’s new Glo Airlines recently announced a daily round-trip Memphis route would begin in November, catering to tourists and business travelers.

In a recent interview, Fa-

yard described the market research that supports his decision to launch a charter line serving Little Rock, Memphis and Shreveport, La., from New Orleans.

“Memphis suffers the way New Orleans does,” Fayard said. “It has decent air service, but it could be a little better.”

Memphis travelers have missed nonstop flights ever since Delta Air Lines dismantled the Northwest Airlines’ southern passenger hub inherited in the 2009 takeover of the former Minnesota carrier.

New Orleans business travelers, including engineers, lawyers and sales professionals, once changed planes in the

Memphis hub for an array of regional commercial centers such as Birmingham, Little Trey Rock and Fayard Greenville, Miss.

Once the hub was gone in 2013, Fayard, who practices business and real estate law, said he found himself chartering so many small planes on business trips to Memphis and other destinations that business travelers in New Orleans began contacting him to ask if there was room aboard the plane.

“People would call me

from all around town,” Fayard said. “I became like a de facto charter broker.

If this many people have this much trouble getting to where they need to go — that was the long and short of it. I said let’s start an airline.”

Fayard realized he’d need several routes to provide enough passenger volume to pay the bills for a new carrier. He rented a car, visited nearly 60 cities, driving 20,000 miles to research demand for air travel within 500 miles of New Orleans. That distance is how far the typical passenger can remain comfortable riding in a 30-seater.

He narrowed the choices

to a handful of cities, met with civic leaders and corporate executives and culled the list to the three destinations, he said.

“What Glo is trying to do is a sensible plan,” said aviation consultant Michael Boyd of Evergreen, Colo., noting that charter carriers cannot market their routes to the public like a regular airline but are easier to start under federal rules than scheduled airlines.

And looking for a few underserved cities is less costly than creating a regular hub, which must endure slack travel times and persuade travelers to pay relatively expensive tickets.

starting a small hub-andspoke airline,” Boyd said.

Memphis airline entrepreneur Stan Little said he doubts Glo will disrupt his Southern Airways Express, which was created in 2013 to take travelers daily to the Gulf Coast and Atlanta in 10-seat Cessna 208 turboprops. Southern also operates weekend vacation shuttles to New Orleans between Memorial Day and Labor Day. “I hope Glo ills up their planes,” said Little, a lawyer in Hernando, Miss.

Winston Margaritis, Josh Mullenix, Reed Rudesill, Hunter Haase, Peyton Boucek and Davis Irving, all members with the St. George’s golf team, won the Division 2-A state title.

The Briarcrest boys golf team came in second place at the Division 2-AA state championships.

Memphis teams dominate at state tourney St. George’s wins boys Division 2A title

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

Getting to share the spotlight with her sister made this year’s championship twice as nice for Abby Heck.

The St. Agnes junior won her second straight Division 2-AA state championship Oct. 6 at WillowBrook Golf Club in Manchester. She was the only golfer in the ield to break par, shooting a inal-round 68 to inish at 5-under 139.

Heck’s total was six strokes better than her nearest competitor — her eighth-grade sister Rachel.

The Hecks’ total of 4-under gave coach Cynthia Gianinni’s Stars the team championship for the second straight year and duplicated their 1-2 inish at the West Region tournament two weeks ago.

“It was so much fun,” Abby said. “We were rooting each other on to get birdies. I do think she’ll win one (state title), and there’s another great one

“So hopefully they’ll win some more.”

Abby Heck, who led by one after the opening round, started strong with birdies on the irst two

holes and played consistently throughout.

Good putting was also a key for Davis Irving of St. George’s. The sophomore sank a 4-foot par putt on No. 18, then won a twohole playoff over Ryan Davis of USJ to capture the D2-A boys crown.

“It was a little bit tough,” said Irving, who inished at even-par. “I had to come straight of 18 and into the playof, so I just looked at it as a couple of extra holes.

“I just kind of hung out with my teammates for a few minutes. They were

really proud of how I’d played.”

Irving’s efort helped the Gryphons win the team title for the second time in three years as they beat Knoxville Webb by a tournament-record 41 strokes. Winston Margaritis placed third while Peyton Boucek inished eighth.

Briarcrest, the irst-day leader, ended up tied for second with Father Ryan in D2-AA boys. Greg Gionfriddo of fourthplace Christian Brothers was the top individual,

Victoria England of St. George’s — who won

the championship as an eighth-grader last year — was the top local inisher in Division 2-A girls, placing third at 15-over.

BOOK TOUR

Author Lythcott-Haim speaks at Houston High on book tour Special to The Weekly

Last week, Houston High School, parents poured into the auditorium for a very special event.

Acclaimed author Julie Lythcott-Haim stopped by the Germantown High School on her nationwide book tour.

Her message about the dangers of “helicopter parenting” is one that hits home for many parents in the area.

Many people played a part in making this event a success. The Houston Orchestra played before the program. Andrea McLeod and the Houston High PTA created and displayed loral arrangements for the reception and the HHS Honors Academy students were on hand with their director, Dr. Abigail Simone.

When asked who was

responsible for the successful event, organizer Audrey Grossman brimmed with names and organizations.

“Mindy Fischer and Stephanie Brockway for helping put all the pieces together and for making posters and lyers. Melissa Manuel and Bonnie Lee for helping us set up and take down. Terry Fischer who ended up as our sound guy and support from Mayor Mike Palazzolo, Kristi Ransom, Stacy Ewell, Mary Anne Gibson, Jessica Woody, Carla Christian and Nancy Loggins,” Grossman said.

It really took a village, but Germantown rolled out the red carpet.

Stanford Universitybased Lythcott-Haim has an unlikely connection to Germantown. She and Grossman attended Harvard Law School together in the 1990s.

as fellow cast members in Harvard Law School’s Drama Society’s production of ‘Pippin,’” joked Grossman.

“I thought Julie would be a great speaker for Germantown because she herself has two kids who attend a high-performing public school, and (she) understands the pressures that the students and parents face,” continued Grossman.

“I also thought it was important for people in Germantown to hear her message because I was hearing stories of middle school kids declaring that their life was over and they’d never get into an Ivy League school when they got a B on interim grades.

As the mom of a middleschooler, that really set of the alarm bells for me.”

Kate Crowder is the communication specialist for Germantown Municipal Schools.

University of Tennessee Chancellor Jimmy Cheek recently stopped by Houston High to speak with students about why they should attend UT and become a Volunteer. Cheek started his tour in Kingsport and ended in Germantown.

COLLEGE RECRUITMENT

UT chancellor Jimmy Cheek visits, recruits Houston students

By Kate Crowder Special to The Weekly

University of Tennessee Chancellor Jimmy Cheek visited Houston High School as part of an aggressive statewide push to make the Knoxville campus the first choice for Tennessee’s most gifted students.

The UTC chancellor started the tour in Kingsport and ended in Germantown. “They only had two stops at schools while in the Memphis area — they were at Central in the morning and here in the afternoon,� said Houston High guidance counselor Andrea Little.

Top administrators spent a year planning the weeklong Big Orange Bus Tour, a irst for the University of Tennessee.

Cheek and his team wanted to meet with more than 2,000 prospective students and alumni

during his stops in seven cities across Tennessee.

The visit to HHS mirrored a pep rally, complete with free UT T-shirts and oversized cutouts of Tennessee coach Butch Jones and former Volunteer star quarterback Peyton Manning.

Tours like this one have become more prevalent as universities compete for the attention of high school seniors, a pool of potential students that has been shrinking due to lower birthrates.

Middle Tennessee State University has toured the state for more than a decade, with the more aggressive True Blue Tour starting in 2012. This year, MTSU added a trio of out-of-state stops in an efort to pull students from Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky.

The push to attract “the best kids,� is competitive said Margie Nichols,

vice chancellor for communications at UT, after the visit. “The SEC and other top 25 schools, they want our best kids, too.

We want them at UT.�

For a grand inale to the rally, Cheek presented a giant orange envelope, which held the early admission acceptance letters for seven lucky Houston High seniors.

When each name was read, it was quite a celebration. “UTK sends a recruiter to Houston several times a year, just as many other colleges do, but the addition of the bus tour was well received by our students,� said Little.

Attendance to the program was voluntary with the audience being made up of only students interested in the possibility of attending UTK.
