TEDx talks come to town With a little help from MUS students

GERMANTOWN

Learning to lead Houston High puts promising freshmen in leadership group

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

Ben McCurry stepped on the turf at AutoZone Park, a reminder that membership has its privileges, and clicked of a few frames.

He and 21 other hand-picked freshmen at Houston High are members of its irst Leadership Academy.

They got the insiders’ tour of the baseball stadium last week, in hopes they’d realize every ield has leaders.

“I play baseball. I could tell the ields are really nice and well-kept,” said Ben, 14. “I actually met the general manager of the Redbirds.”

The academy is the school’s efort to develop leaders from the middle of the pack — not the kids destined to be class president or homecoming royalty — but the two dozen or so in any class who could be great if someone helped them hone their edge.

By developing 20-25 rising leaders a year, by the time Ben is a senior, Houston High will have close to 100 students on the track, enough to make an impact on how the student body views leadership and where more of them go after high school.

“We would like to try to identify students with some leadership characteristics and traits, and see if we could build upon those to help them through school,” said Chauncey Bland, director of student services in Germantown Municipal Schools. “We want to take kids we think we can have an impact on.”

While there are honors students in the group, there is no GPA requirement. Instead, the suburban district chose participants based on some ol’ fashioned signs: the irmness of their handshake, demeanor and how clearly they expressed their ideas about leaders, including the ones they most admire, in a formal interview.

On Saturday, Memphis will experience its inaugural TEDx conference, featuring 18 speakers who have turned ideas into action. The roster includes Dr. Scott Morris, CEO of the nonproit Church Health Center in Memphis; Kimbal Musk, co-founder of The Kitchen restaurants (opening at Shelby Farms and Crosstown Concourse) and Learning Gardens (opening at 100 Memphis schools); and Clif Goldmacher, songwriter, producer and musician.

Co-organizer Patton Orr, a senior at Memphis University School, began turning his idea for a conference into action two years ago, and he is excited to see TEDxMemphis inally coming to life.

“More important, I’m excited for Memphis,” Orr says. “The goal and mission from the very beginning was to create an event that highlights all the great ideas coming out of Memphis — for the people of Memphis.”

Orr first learned about TED conferences when his sister, Caroline Orr, worked on the organizing committee for TEDxUNC (University of North Carolina) in 2013. He became fascinated by TED Talks, short (18 minutes or less) recorded presentations by experts and thinkers from around the world that can be seen via ted.com. He began a campaign to drum up interest at MUS and in the community.

Blues Foundation hires new president, CEO Barbara Newman starts job on Oct. 1

By Bob Mehr mehr@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2517

The Memphis-based Blues Foundation has a new president and CEO. On Aug. 19, Barbara B. Newman was named as the new head of the organization, replacing the retiring Jay Sieleman.

Newman will take over responsi-

bilities starting Oct. 1, the start of the Blues Foundation’s iscal year.

The foundation’s 25-member board and smaller search committee began a several-month process in May, getting resumes from more than 30 candidates.

They made the formal ofer to hire Newman on Saturday.

A fourth-generation Memphian, Newman earned her B.A. in political science from Brown University and has a background in accounting and corporate inance from her tenure with New

York-based National Westminster Bank. Upon returning to her native Memphis in 1989, Newman began nonproit work with the Bornblum Solomon Schechter School board of directors, serving as treasurer, vice president of both administration and fundraising, and president.

Since 2007, Newman has been executive director of Beth Sholom Synagogue, handling inancial administration, communications, human resources and facility management.

Newman is also a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and Folk Alliance International. Her husband is local music attorney Bruce Newman, of the irm Newman, DeCoster.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity,” said Newman.

“I wanted a new challenge that would allow me to use the skill set I’ve developed in administration and inancial management and strategic planning — but also doing something that I love,

which is music. And also, helping our city; I believe the Blues Foundation is really important to Memphis.”

In a statement announcing the decision, Blues Foundation board Chairman Paul Benjamin said that Newman “will be a great leader who will help us move forward, taking The Blues Foundation to new heights. We all look forward to working together.”

Longtime Blues Foundation COO Joe Whitmer conirmed that he will remain in his post.

In brief

“The interview was a little nerve-wracking,” said Betsy McCurry,” Ben’s mother. “He didn’t say anything, but we could tell.

“It was a great learning opportunity. Very seldom are you interviewed for anything at this age.”

The group will meet ive or six times during the school year for seminars and sessions with city leaders and others.

Each student also will have a mentor, initially a staffer from Houston High. Over the year, school leaders hope to add city employees to the mentor ranks, building a deeper pool of people interested in students’ lives.

The mentor will keep an eye on the academic work so future choices, including where the students want to attend college, aren’t limited by what they didn’t know.

The idea arose last winter, about the time private school registration opened, said Kevin Weaver, sports coordinator for the city of Germantown and head of Movers, the city-run leadership program for eighthgraders.

“It’s a way not to lose Germantown kids to private schools,” he said.

For his part, Weaver, one of the program coordinators, would like to see Houston students more involved in the community.

“That is something I am passionate about,” he said.

They will get their chance. The students will split into groups of four or ive for a service project each team will design and carry out.

“We want to keep our hands of and see how they lead it,” Bland said. “They may choose a project that lasts all day or runs an hour after school for a month.

They have to set it up, present it to us and tell us how they are going to execute.”

Because freshmen at Houston come from several middle schools, the irst step was getting everyone acquainted, on neutral ground at AutoZone Park.

“I only knew one other person; it was cool to get to know some of the other guys,” Ben said.

The group is nearly an equal mix of males and females.

“By the end of the night, they had mixed and mingled and interacted with each other. It broke down some of the hesitation and barriers,” Weaver said.

“That is still a work in progress.”

TEDX from 1 TED is a nonproit organization started in 1984, dedicated to spreading ideas, usually in the form of its talks, recorded in more than 100 languages.

The organization sponsors major TED conferences and parallel TEDActive conferences, as well as smaller, independently organized TEDx conferences around the world.

Orr started a TED club at MUS, where students watch the talks and discuss the subject matter.

He also launched a similar club for teens in the community that meets up once a month at Benjamin L. Hooks Public Library.

And he set his sights on organizing a conference.

“For some reason, TEDx had never caught on in Memphis as it had in other cities,” Orr says. “I

Next Lunch n’ Learn will be Thursday

Reginald Howard will be the guest speaker at Thursday’s Lunch n’ Learn session at the Morton Museum.

Howard will speak about his days in baseball’s Negro Leagues, playing for the Indianapolis Clowns in the 1950s.

Howard will be visiting the museum at 11 a.m. The Lunch n’ Learn program is free, and attendees are welcome to bring a sack lunch. A drink and dessert will be provided.

This program is in support of the Museum’s exhibit, “Baseball! Celebrating a Community Pastime,” on display until Sept. 12. The exhibit features the Collierville Tigers, a Negro League team in Collierville in the 1950s-60s.

Tom Nash, 91, has competed in the Tennessee Senior Olympics for more than 30 years and taken home the Outstanding Athlete award more than 20 times. Nash will compete in more than 20 events this year. “I just manage it,” said Nash. “I do what I can.”

rowing up, Tom Nash wasn’t much of an athlete. But in November 1942, his interest in sports was awakened after he graduated from high school and enlisted in the Air Force during World War II.

Nash played basketball, tennis and swam during his time in the service. He left the Air Force in April 1946, but his newfound love for sports stuck.

Thirty-six years later, he participated in his irst Tennessee Senior Olympics and has competed in every one since. Nash is 91.

When the competition begins next month, Nash won’t be an anomaly. Instead, he will be one of several 90 year olds taking part in the games.

The Tennessee Senior Olympics began in 1981 and are held every year in 10 districts throughout the state, with more than 800 athletes competing in the Memphis district.

In addition, state inals are held every summer and the National Senior Olympics are held

recognized a huge opportunity for our city to host an event.”

He discussed the idea with MUS Lower School principal Clay Smythe, who encouraged him to seek a “loaned executive,” who could help with the process. (The term comes from the United Way program of enlisting executives from employers to help with campaigns.)

The name that came to Orr’s mind was Luke Jensen, a 2007 graduate of MUS whom he knew from church. Jensen, an associate with Cushman & Wakeield/Commercial Advisors agreed to join the campaign.

“The whole idea of TEDxMemphis started with Patton. He has been instrumental not only in applying for and obtaining a TEDx license but also in the planning and execution of the event,” Jensen says. “I was lucky enough

Senior Olympians are still giving it their all every two years. The athletes, who must be 50 or older, can sign up for sports such as basketball, racquetball, bowling and track and ield. The Memphis district games are set for Sept. 11-25 at various locations.

Nash, who competes in the male 90-94 age division, has asthma, COPD and double vision, among other aliments.

However, it hasn’t slowed him.

When he irst started playing in the games, he only swam, but for the past 12 years, he has competed in 26 events per year.

“I just manage it,” said Nash, who won 10 events in his age group last year, including ield javelin and racquetball. “I do what I can.”

Nash’s best memories at the Senior Olympics include playing racquetball for the irst time and running the 5K at McWherter Senior Center.

“I compete for the camaraderie of meeting people,” Nash said. “I don’t even practice, I just show up.”

Despite his aliments and age, Nash said he’ll compete in the Senior Olympics as long as he can.

to be asked early on to be a part of it.”

Together Orr and Jensen attended a TEDActive conference in Whistler, British Columbia, in 2014.

Afterward, they gave a presentation at MUS on their experience. Now, with the help of a team of local organizers, the conference is set for the University of Memphis Michael D. Rose Theatre Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Orr, who expects close to 1,000 people at the event.

“What has absolutely blown me away is all of the enthusiasm generated over social media,” Orr says.

“There were so many steps that our team took to get to this point. I’m already looking forward to hearing the buzz around Rose Theatre...”

Marci Woodmansee is the associate director of communications at MUS.

“I feel pretty good,” Nash said.

“I’m just having to be more careful about the things I do.”

Nineteen years ago, Dorothy Hargett, 92, was only a casual bowler, but when she was out bowling with a friend, she heard about the Tennessee Senior Olympics. She has bowled at the games ever since.

Her daughter, Sheri Ratzlaf, took her to all of the senior bowling tournaments, in addition to the Olympics, and became eager to turn 50 so she could bowl with her mother in the doubles competition at the Senior Olympics.

Three years ago, she did.

Hargett’s favorite memory at the senior games came soon after at the 2013 National Senior Olympics in Cleveland. She said spending quality time with her daughter and sightseeing made the trip memorable.

“We even put our feet in Lake Erie, so we could say we were in the water, ” said Hargett, who along with her daughter earned the bronze medal in female doubles in bowling at the 2013 Nationals. “It was just a lot of fun.”

Ratzlaf, 53, said it’s been a honor to bowl alongside her mother and said she’ll continue to bowl at the Senior Olympics long after her mother passes.

“I love being able to do something with her that she loves at this stage of her life,” Ratzlaf said.

“The organization also provides complimentary monthly family dinners at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and the FedExFamilyHouse.

hole Foods opened its second store in the Memphis metro area Aug. 18 with its traditional “breaking of bread” — challah,

in this case — in its parking lot at 7825 Poplar, only blocks from what is for now the largest Kroger in the Mid-South.

The 100,000-square-foot Kroger reopened Aug. 12 at 7735 Farmington Blvd. after a $16 million renovation of the site, which was a Kroger brief-

Competition in the market honestly makes us better retailers and ends up being better for the customer. We shop our competitors; we have to stay in line on pricing.”

— Darrah Gist, Whole Foods spokeswoman

The proximity of Kroger and Whole Foods, plus the newly opened Sprouts at 3150 Village Shops Drive, sets up a grocery triangle in Germantown that shoppers like Carolyn Herndon, from Collierville, expect will beneit the consumer in variety and price.

She plans to shop all three. So does Becky Utley, who could easily tick of the things she liked about Whole Foods.

“I like the fact that there is great selection and health foods. I also like the fact that you can eat there,” she said. “But you can also do that here,” she said in the parking lot of Kroger, where she was loading up the car.

“People who want fast food, while it’s not a big selection, can get Chinese, barbecue from Corky’s and pizza they will make while you shop. It’s a great convenience.”

Whole Foods created its pre-buzz Aug. 14 and Aug. 15 with self-guided tours of the store, then still very much a work in progress. For a donation of $5 that went to charity, the curious got a headset — their ticket to sample fresh hunks of Parmesan cheese crumbled of a chunk as big as a boulder, creamy ice cream from Jersey cows (higher cream content) and slices of gluten-free pizza.

They also got to try their luck at social media promotions, including posting pictures of the items they liked best.

Winners get a gift card.

“I have been waiting for this place to open every single day since I heard they were going to open in Germantown,” said Dr. Jim Ensor. “Every day, I

drive by and look at the progress and wonder, ‘How come it’s taking so long?’”

“We shop the Memphis store weekly; now, we’ll probably come daily,” he said with chuckle.

Whole Foods’ market research shows there are enough Ensors in Memphis to make a second store a go without cannibalizing the irst one, six miles away.

“Competition in the market honestly makes us better retailers and ends up being better for the customer,” said Darrah Gist, Whole Foods spokeswoman. “We shop our competitors; we have to stay in line on pricing.”

Kroger and Sprouts are stepping up their games.

Kroger, for instance, announced it would reopen the Farmington store with 4,000 organic and natural foods.

“We actually have 5,500, the largest selection in the Kroger Delta Division,” said spokeswoman Teresa Dickerson. “That does not include produce.

Seasonally, we have up to 150 organic produce items.”

To show of the local farmers raising crops for Kroger, it invited them in to schmooze with shoppers at its grand opening.

“Shoppers loved it,” Dickerson said, noting that Kroger also has Chef Jenn, Memphian Jennifer McCullough’s line of dips and seafood entrées.

“Local for us is our division: Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas,” Dickerson said.

Local at Whole Foods means within 150 miles, and its Southeast area is packed with names people in Memphis will recog-

Collierville mom pens books for children

By Julie Danielson Special to The Weekly

“Random.”

That’s how author and “Little House in the Suburbs” blogger Deanna Caswell describes her professional life.

As a child, Caswell wanted to be a scientist and a ballerina.

In college, she shifted her major multiple times — from marine biology to chemistry, with several others in between.

Her disdain for lab work ended her pursuit of a doctorate one semester into graduate school, but she ultimately earned a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.

Now she writes children’s books: Her latest, “Beach House,” was released in May. Caswell, who lives in Collierville, is also the home-schooling mother of four children and a 21st century homesteader: In other words, she and her family make most of the things

they need.

Finding time to write books and a blog is hard enough when you have four children (the youngest a year old) and homeschool them all, never mind making your own deodorant, skipping all canned food and tending backyard chickens and mini-goats, but Caswell isn’t one to shy from a challenge.

And life as a homesteader family, she told Chapter 16 via e-mail, is a group effort.

“Each day, we start school at 10 and finish around 2:30. The cooking and cleaning and baby care and animal care are a juggling act,” she wrote.

“But, thankfully, the biggest three kids are really helpful. I couldn’t do it without them. They each have chores they do before the screens come on in the morning and afternoon, and each takes a turn babysitting during the homeschool day. It’s a group effort.”

As for her own work?

Deanna Caswell, known as the “Goat Lady” of Collierville, is the author of “Beach House.”

“Writing only happens on weekends and school breaks,” she explained.

“Little House in the Suburbs,” which Caswell cofounded with Daisy Siskins, has been featured on msn. com and thriftyfun.com.

It includes posts about farming and homesteading geared for those who want to learn more about self-suiciency.

“My best in-town pal

and I started it in 2008,” Caswell explains. “We both always had an interest in cooking from scratch and gardening, but nothing too far outside of normal.

“Then one day, I was in the Walmart parking lot, buckling in the kids with the cellphone on my shoulder, when I confessed to her, ‘You have no idea the depths of my weirdness.

I want to make soap and

grow mushrooms.’ She said, ‘Me too.”

Our kids were little, and we never really saw each other, so we decided to blog it out. We started doing all kinds of homestead-type projects together online: gardening, soaping, sewing, needlework, cheese, homepreserving, etc.

Our slogan was ‘Simplicity, Creativity, SelfSuiciency ... Minivans.’

Funny thing, my mushrooms never worked out, but just this year, she got a bumper crop.”

From how to knit your own washcloths, make roll-up fruit snacks and Tabasco sauce to how not to make comfrey fertilizer, DIY is the name of the game at “Little House in the Suburbs.”

There are recipes for condiments, breads, herbal teas and snow ice cream.

There are also tips on how to simplify your parenting, your scheduling and your home. In 2012, Caswell and Siskins co-authored their own book, one that

shares the same name as the popular blog. Published

by Betterway Home, it features tips on suburban selfsuiciency, creating a life illed with food and products grown in your own backyard.

“Plenty of books out there,” they write in the book’s introduction, “will tell you how to survive in the boonies. … This book is about those simple-living behaviors that it easily into a typical suburban neighborhood.”

“Beach House,” Caswell’s latest children’s book, celebrates family and the best of summer fun — a trip to the beach. In spare, rhyming verse, she captures the joys of a vacation at the shore and the warmth of family members who enjoy one another’s company.

Caswell’s early interest in the sciences was inspired by her childhood in Oak Ridge, a town with its fair share of physicists.

She still makes time to visit East Tennessee several times a year.

ACHIEVEMENT

New ‘Chicken Soup’ features short by member of UMC

By Lisa Junkins Special to The Weekly

“Chicken Soup for the Soul — Volunteering and Giving Back,” was released nationally on Aug 18, and featured a short story from Collierville United Methodist Church member Mike Ware entitled “Feeding the Spirit.”

The church sells copies of the book and all proceeds from the book will

beneit three missions near and dear to Ware’s heart — Rio Bravo Children’s Home in Reynosa, Mexico, La Limye Ministries in Arcahaie, Haiti and Children’s Home of the Mountains in Saltillo, Mexico. La Limye and Children’s Home of the Mountains ministries was started by missionaries from CUMC. Ware had done some technical writing in the Air Force, but didn’t start

writing regularly until the Sunday school class elected him president. He felt it was appropriate to respond by sending them weekly “Mike’s Musings” with other class information.

Slowly the musings shifted from a humorous story to more of a devotional. The feedback he received from his Sunday school class encouraged him to continue writing.

Joining the Collierville

Christian Writers, he was encouraged to continue writing and set goals. CCWriters meets the first Thursday of the month at Collierville UMC, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and has met for more than ive years.

He especially noticed the encouragement from Susan Reichert, CCWriters president. The group assists those who want to be published.

Writers are always en-

couraged to write about what they know. Ware said he spent ive years rejecting mission trip opportunities. Seeing how much the trips meant to his wife, Suzanne, and daughter, Sally Acker, he inally agreed to go to Rio Bravo Children’s Home. Ware went from being an “I’ll pray about it” kind of Christian to an active-in-missions Christian.

Ware said he couldn’t have completed the book

without the help and support of his family. They encouraged and helped him with the editorial tasks of prooing for spelling errors, proper words use, and clarity. The publishers at Chicken Soup for the Soul had detailed guidelines and word limits that Ware had to comply with for his story to be accepted.

Lisa Junkins is a volunteer with Collierville United Methodist Church.

Planning oicials unhappy with oice project

Lieutenant retires after 26 years with CPD

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

Developers who planned to bring a ive-story oice building to Germantown, plus retail and a dual-branded hotel, quickly pulled their plans Tuesday when it became clear the city’s planning commission was not pleased with the quality of the design, to say nothing of the number of code departures.

Developers Ray Gill and Desai Hotel Group asked for a month to address the issues with TraVure, a 10-acre development on the southeast quadrant of Kirby and Poplar that is expected to include a Hilton Garden Inn and Home 2 Suites. If they had not pulled the project, they faced almost certain rejection and would have had to wait six months to resubmit plans.

But the city’s planning commission enthusiastically ap-

Architect’s rendering of TraVure project at Kirby and Poplar, which was quickly pulled.

Special to The Weekly

proved site plans at Germantown Collection Shopping Center, 2130 Exeter, the site of a possible Trader Joe’s, saying it was a pleasure to work with a developer whose plans so closely mirrored the town’s aesthetic.

Glenn Brody, who owns Centennial American PropertiesGermantown, intends to redevelop the empty Kroger in the shopping area, making it a threebay retail development with a separate out-parcel across the parking lot that would hug Exeter and back up to Baptist Hospital’s rehabilitation center.

Preliminary sketches to the city planning department included the font Trader Joe’s uses in its logo and signage. But in the inal draft, the font had been changed.

Centennial American Properties (CAP), based in Greenville, South Carolina, has developed some Trader Joe’s in other markets.

People across the city saw it as more than a coincidence that Trader Joe’s was coming to metro Memphis.

After his presentation, Glenn

walked quickly to his car and would not comment. The man driving the car he was in said they were rushing to the airport.

The 19,000-square-foot freestanding building is the textbook example of the smart growth Germantown is promoting and has written separate code to accommodate. It breaks up hightraic areas with pedestrianfriendly amenities, including structures that are close to the street with landscaping to shield walkers from traic and its noise and exhaust.

CAP’s next hurdle is to get a development agreement with the city’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The earliest that could happen is Sept. 14.

Although Gill and Desai asked for a month to address issues in their plan, the planning commission will not meet again until Oct. 6.

To get approval, the developers will have to reduce the number of “warrants” or departures from city code. The current development, a four-phase project, has 12

warrants, which planning commission chairman Mike Harless said was unheard of in Germantown.

“We expect developers to meet the guidelines,” he said, noting that one of the issues creating problems was that the plan included two developers building out common elements, including a wall to shield the property from residential areas, in phases.

But another problem was the number of times the project did not meet setback standards, giving it the feel of being shoehorned into the lot.

“It’s too tight; too much development in too small a space,” said Forrest Owens, alderman liaison to the planning commission. “It’s an overused term, but it lacks a sense of place.

“It appears what we are getting is a developer-driven commercial subdivision. I would like to see more green space,” he said, adding that while some of the warrants might be justiied, “I don’t understand why you can’t come in and abide by what we asked.”

CRIME

Second suspect charged with murder in Cordova slaying

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

A second person was charged Aug. 17 in the death of Germantown resident Susan McDonald, who was killed during a theft attempt in Cordova.

Andre Bowen, 36, was charged with irst-degree murder in perpetration of a theft, according to an aidavit. A bond has not been set.

Bowen and Anthony Olivo, 36, are accused of killing McDonald in a driveway on Aug. 1.

Olivo was arrested Aug. 15 and

charged with irst-degree murder in connection with the slaying.

Police said Aug. 16 they had a second person of interest in custody who had been arrested on other charges. He was charged Aug. 17 with irst-degree murder in McDonald’s death.

According to the affidavit,

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE CONGRATULATIONS TO

KENT & TAMMY

ANDERSON

Bowen gave a statement to police Aug. 15 saying he and another person had planned to commit a theft and were in the process of committing that theft when McDonald was shot. Olivo’s aidavit says much the same thing. Police did not say who is accused of iring a weapon.

Lt. Norm Dixon began his career with the Collierville Police Department in 1989. Just a few weeks ago, the department celebrated his 26 years of service at a retirement dinner as Dixon stepped down from public service.

Norman “Norm” Dixon moved to Memphis with his parents and four siblings in 1965. He attended Overton High School, and then continued his education by graduating “Magna Cum Laude” from then Memphis State University. He married Cindy Mason in 1983 Norm and they have one Dixon daughter, Lindsey.

As a commissioned oicer, Dixon attended the Memphis Police Department’s First Regional Academy during his irst year. He was assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division for the irst 11 years of his service and gained a reputation for expertise in ield training and DUI enforcement. Dixon was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in February 2000. As a lieutenant, he worked in the Special Operations Division for nine years. In January 2009, Dixon was reassigned to the Uniform Patrol Division, where he has served as a ield commander.

Collierville Police Chief Larry Goodwin said , “The department will certainly miss his input, ideas and energy. We sincerely thank him for his hard work and dedication to the department, the Town, and to the citizens of Collierville.”

Schools GIVING BACK

High school students donate to Lifeblood

By Jennifer Gladstone Special to The Weekly

In the Greater Memphis area, 16 to 25 year-old Lifeblood donors provide 25 percent of the blood for local patients.

Through Lifeblood’s partnership with local schools, students have an opportunity to explore and learn about one of the most valuable gifts any individual can give — blood for patients in need.

Individuals who donate in school frequently become blood donors for life, having learned early on the lesson of altruism in its highest form.

Last school year, Collierville and Houston High School students do-

Nearly 100 Collierville High School students donated blood at the school’s first blood drive of the 2014-15 school year.

nated to Lifeblood.

“We are grateful that many of our local schools host blood drives through-

out the year and recognize the critical importance of a safe and stable local blood supply,” said Jenni-

fer Balink, vice president of donor relations for Lifeblood. “As a community, Memphis has more patients who need blood than local donors providing it on a regular basis, so these young donors are critically important to helping us treat trauma victims, premature babies, cancer patients and many others.”

During the 2014-15 school year, more than 7,800 donations were made by donors between the ages of 16 to 25. Each blood donation can impact the life of up to three local patients.

Jennifer Gladstone is the director, marketing and public relations for Lifeblood.

Students with Houston High’s Honors Academy collected items that were donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

Memphis Oral School for the Deaf has been located in Germantown for more than 50 years. The school works to empower deaf children all over the Mid-South to listen, learn and talk.

Instead of sign language, the school uses speech and language therapies and audiological services in conjunction with preschool classes to help profoundly deaf and hardof-hearing children.

Who knew that a post on Facebook would actually be answered?

In July, I posted a request on the Germantown Bulletin Board Facebook page for much needed food and supplies for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Memphis.

Only one reply was received. Abigail Simone, who is a part of the Honors Academy at the Houston High School decided to kick of the new school year by collecting donations for a local charity.

On Aug. 11, I got back in touch to see what I could do to help. Amazingly, Simone informed me that they had already completed the collection during the irst week of August, which was just before the new school year started.

When my husband and I pulled up at the high school to pick up the donations, we weren’t prepared for the magnitude of items they collected.

There were 10 students from the Honors Academy to help load our car and truck. To our surprise, we actually ran out of room. Luckily one of the students and her father assisted us in delivering everything to the Ronald McDonald House.

The Honors Academy consists of more than 400 students who helped make this possible. Their dedication and kindness in stepping up to help our community has been greatly appreciated.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Memphis provides a “home away from home” at no charge to the St. Jude’s families and their children receiving treatment for cancer and other catastrophic illnesses.

This enables the families to concentrate on the health of their children instead of the worries of paying hotel bills, food or cleaning.

Volunteer patrol program helps keep residents safe Special to The Weekly

When Collierville resident Bill Arnold tells you about one of the homebound citizens he regularly checks on, he will give you the person’s name and address all in one sentence.

Arnold’s memory is impressive in a time when most people store such information on their phones instead of in their brains.

But it makes sense that Arnold knows these facts — he uses the information daily as a member of Collierville’s Special Citizen Volunteer Patrol.

The Special Citizen Volunteer Patrol program is for those who truly want to give back to their community. Both residents and police oicers beneit from the volunteers’ assistance to the Collierville Police Department in doing tasks that take officers away from actively protecting Collierville. The tasks SCVP volunteers do include processing reports, making vacation checks, and looking in on homebound citizens.

“The Special Citizen Volunteers have been watching our shut-ins very carefully during this heat wave,” said Collierville police chief Larry Goodwin.

An example of helping the community was when Arnold check up on Bessie Jones on a recent Saturday evening. Jones’ air conditioning went out on what was an extremely hot day. Arnold received word about her situation while he was out having dinner with his wife, and he immediately began looking for a fan to take to her house. When Ar-

nold couldn’t access some stored fans, he made a trip to Walmart and purchased one and took it to Jones.

She was able to be comfortable until a repairman could come the next day.

Arnold said he enjoys building relationships with the people on his homebound route. He and his wife have taken all of their children and grandchildren that live in this area over to meet and visit with Jones, and his wife sometimes takes her to the doctor. As for his regular stops to her house, Arnold said he and Jones have a routine.

“When Bessie comes to the door, the irst thing she does is ask me how my wife is, then how my daughter is, then how my son and grandchildren are,” Arnold said. “Finally, she asks ‘how is the cat?’

My wife and I disagree about how to manage the cat and Mrs. Bessie enjoys kidding me about it.”

The visit continues at the breakfast room table where Arnold and Jones discuss current events.

Then Arnold reads a passage from the Bible and they discuss what he read.

The visits can last from 15 minutes to an hour.

The SCVP hears about homebound people from several sources, including the police, churches and the food pantry. Homebound people already on the SCVP list regularly refer the names of those they feel need help. Those on the list receive regular visits, food from the food pantry and emergency visits such as the one Arnold made to Jones.

Arnold indicated that he enjoyed working with this particular group of people because they are removed from daily activities and are often forgotten.

“Everyone who is a part of the SCVP has their own passion, and this is mine,” he said.

CbHs run game keeps spartans of the ield Brothers’ Lee leads with 4 TDs

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

The Christian Brothers football team had the perfect game plan for slowing down Dillon Mitchell on Friday night.

Just keep him of the ield.

Austin Lee scored four touchdowns as the Brothers used their ground game to efectively chew time of the clock and keep Mitchell and the Spartans’ other playmakers largely quiet in a season-opening 28-20 victory at Tom Nix Stadium. It was the irst victory for new coach

Thomas McDaniel, who is in his irst season at CBHS after a successful run at Murfreesboro Oakland.

“It was a great experience,” said McDaniel. “We made a lot of mistakes, but we did a lot of good things.

We had some drives that I’m disappointed we didn’t inish.”

The Spartans also had tackling troubles when it came to Lee. The senior opened the scoring on the irst drive of the game, capping an 80-yard march with a 5-yard run.

White Station responded with a 1-yard touchdown run from John Lyons to tie it before Lee went to work. He brought back the ensuing kickof 52 yards to the Spartans’ 36, then went the distance on the

next play.

He added scoring runs of 10 and 4 yards in the second quarter.

“I was kind of mad that we didn’t score in the second half,” Lee said. “I like that they illed the box, but we stuck with our running game. I’m going to sleep well tonight.”

With Lee and quarterback Keegan Voss doing much of the damage, the Brothers, ranked ifth in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen, limited opportunities for White Station’s Mitchell, who has committed to Oregon.

Still, the 6-2, 195-pounder nearly pulled his team through, catching a 20yard scoring pass from Burk Williams in the second quarter and adding

a 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth that made it 28-20. In between he had a 52-yard scoring run and a 51-yard reception called back due to penalties.

“That was our game plan,” McDaniel said of his team’s keep-the-clock moving approach.

“You’re not going to stop Dillon Mitchell. He’s a special player. And I thought our tackling could have been better and not just on him. But that’s going to happen when you have some young guys.”

White Station travels Friday to play fourthranked DeSoto Central, which opened the year with a 38-7 victory over Jensen Beach (Florida).

CBHS is of until Sept. 4 when it hosts Fairley High.

BY NIKKI BOERTMAN / THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

CBHS running back Austin Lee is congratulated after scoring the first of his four touchdowns on Friday against White Station.

The Purple Wave, ranked No. 5 in the Dandy Dozen, defeated No. 6 White Station 28-20 to give new head coach Tom McDaniel his first victory at CBHS.

(7) Ridgeway 25, Houston 0

Ridgeway’s Walker too much for Mustangs’ defense

By Omer Yusuf Special to The Commercial Appeal

Ridgeway senior running back Lilotis Walker and the rest of the Roadrunners rolled to a 25-0 win against the Houston Mustangs at Houston High on Friday night in their opening game.

“Our guys have been preparing all summer long against each other — it gets kind of boring sometimes,” said Ridgeway coach Duron Sutton. “It’s good to be able to come out and perform against another team and perform well.”

The Roadrunners, ranked seventh in the

move the ball. The Roadrunners’ defense limited the Mustangs to just 17

snaps in the irst half to Ridgeway’s 56.

“You can’t ask your de-

fense to have that many snaps,” said Houston coach Will Hudgens. “We know it’s going to be a struggle on ofense losing eight guys last year. Even if we don’t score, we have to be able to hold the ball for at least a minute or two to give our guys a chance to rest. They’re (the defense) gonna be burned out by the third quarter, and it kind of showed tonight.”

Ridgeway took advantage of the extra snaps as the Roadrunners raced to a 19-0 halftime lead. Senior quarterback Tyrique Sandusky’s 3-yard sneak with three seconds to go in the half put the game out of reach.

Prep Sports VOLLEYBALL

Harding takes second at Collierville Memorial

By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

Over the weekend, the Harding Academy’s volleyball team got an idea of just how far it might be able to go. The Lady Lions also learned what they have to do once they get there.

Riding a core of ive solid seniors, and two extremely talented underclassmen, Harding made it to the inals of the Collierville Memorial Classic Saturday with an emotional three-game comeback win over Briarcrest in the semiinals. Then the “Outta Gas” light hit and the Lions (9-2), dropped

a 25-18, 25-21 decision to Ravenwood, which has won this event two of the past three years.

“We learned we’ve got good chemistry and kids who want to play for each other,” said Harding coach Alyssa Hall. “But now we need to learn how to close tournaments out, how to ind that extra energy when you get to that big moment. Lack of energy leads to mistakes and that showed.”

The Lions showed not only chemistry but the star power of sophomore Lauren Deaton, who can set, dig or kill with equal ability, and junior Antoinette Lewis, a disruptive

force near a basketball or volleyball net. The pair came up big at the end of the semiinal with Briarcrest (9-1), reversing a pool-play loss.

“We got really up to win that match” Deaton said. “You do that against teams you know, but we’ve got to learn how to keep going.”

But it left the Lions vulnerable against perennial power Ravenwood. This Raptors squad, of to a 10-1 start, was without its one big, Western Kentucky commit Sophia Cerino.

First-year coach Wendy Munzel has been preaching defense and energy.

Led by tournament MVP

Emily Stadnick, the Raptors used that formula to get the upper hand on Harding, and quell a minirally late in the second game.

Lewis had nine kills and ive blocks in the inals for the Lions, while Deaton managed just six kills after a big match against the Saints.

“We learned we can play small, play defense and win,” Munzel said.

The Saints, despite the 21-25, 25-18, 14-16 loss to Harding in the semiinals, showed that they are full of returning All-Metro talent, led by BOP Player of the Year nominee Callie Anderton and libero

Hannah Cox. “We made a couple of mistakes at the end there, but all in all it was a solid start for this group,” said Saints coach Carla Anderton, whose team inished third in last year’s Division 2-AA state tournament.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the group was Hutchison, a 16-19 squad a year ago which is of to a 9-1 start behind a solid core of returning All-Metro talent, including Katie Grace Cunningham. They reached the semifinals and had a 17-14 lead in the second game with Ravenwood before falling by a 25-21, 25-20 count.

“We’re still young and

learning,” Sting coach Michael Ralph said, “but we thinking we can take a big step this year.”

In the quarterfinal round, Ravenwood eliminated St. Benedict, 2520, 25-18, Harding swept Houston, 25-23, 25-21, Briarcrest routed Father Ryan 25-11, 25-18 and Hutchison handled Covenant Christian of Huntsville 27-25, 25-19.

Collierville coach Kenny Gass said the tournament raised $5,000 which will be divided between scholarship funds in memory of CHS teacher Anelda Carter, football player Trey Erwin and the American Cancer Society.

VOLLEYBALL OUTLOOK

Growing number of talented players and teams in Mid-South Houston reached the AAA tournament in 2014, finishing fourth, and coach Becky Pendleton’s Mustangs look like the area’s best title hopeful from the public schools again this year.

Four Mustangs have committed to play in college, middle blocker Krysta Medearis (Alabama State), libero Kylie Hayes (Tennessee State), middle blocker Rhonda White (Henderson State) and outside hitter McKenna Wharton (West Georgia).

Add in talented veteran Kat Gries and you have potentially one of the best teams in Pendleton’s 14year Houston career.

Bartlett also reached the AAA tournament last year, but longtime coach Sherrie Walker has the enviable task of trying to replace last year’s Pepsi Best of the

Kelsey Crunk is one of the key returning players for coach Tommy Danner’s Evangelical Christian School team. The Eagles were second in the state last season.

JANIE PEELER SPECIAL TO THE WEEKLY

Preps Player of the Year, Kenzie Fields. Junior Ariel Goforth and talented 6-0 freshman Karagan Cog-

gin will be keys. At Collierville, Kenny Gass also has a lot of new faces; Ansley Matthews and Ariana

Graves are the two returning starters, and they’ll get help from returnee Kate Sammons and newcomer Gabby Harris.

Arlington coach Rebekah Sanders likes her team’s athleticism and potential; outside hitter Caragan Harville and middle blocker Hayley Smith lead the returnees.

White Station’s hopes will ride on one of the area’s top players, outside hitter Abigail Duncan. The Spartans could get a push from DeKyra Dennis and Central, which has started well under irst-year coach Porsha Parks.

Carla Anderton’s Briarcrest went 36-13 and inished third in the state in Division 2-AA last year and will be a strong contender again with just about everyone returning.

Junior Callie Anderton has

committed to Murray State and was the only non-senior among the ive BOP inalists in 2014. Classmate Kendal Strand has committed to Samford and is the team’s go-to player.

Alyiah Wells and Carsyn Starr combined for 216 blocks; Hannah Cox recorded 602 digs.

The remaining teams in D2-AA West should also be strong. MTSU commitment Taylor Hasley, Constance Connelly and Emma Sorrells lead a veteran St. Agnes team, while Kate Grace Cunningham and Chayce Foster will be keys for Hutchison. St. Benedict lost a lot to graduation but has two excellent rebuilding blocks in Anna Graziosi and Bailey Cochran.

St. George’s lost BOP finalist Roxanna Wood to graduation but returns pretty much everyone else

and should make a push for the D2-A championship. Among the talented returnees for coach Emmy McClain are Sope Adeleye, Sophia Quesada and Sarah Thompson, and there’s a very promising newcomer in Annika Thompson.

Tommy Danner’s ECS team inished state runner-up in 2014 and will be tough once more thanks to the return of Olivia Allen and Kelsey Crunk. Harding has impressed early this year under Alyssa Hall; the Lions have a pair of big hitters on the outside in Lauren Deaton and Katie Short. St. Mary’s could surprise thanks in large part to the addition of talented out-of-state transfer Carmen Freeman to go along with returnee Allison James.

SUDOKU Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

Kerry Ann Mendez not only lives by that motto, she wrote the book on it A book that guides us in selecting the right plant for the right place is invaluable. Many of us have well-thumbed copies of “The Southern Gardener’s Book of Lists: The Best Plants for All Your Needs, Wants, and Whims” by Lois Trigg Chaplin.

ally pleasing garden.

Make no mistake: It requires work and a financial investment to achieve that gardening nirvana.

But Mendez says the result will reduce your energy expenditures by 50 percent to 75 percent afterward.

A plant collector at heart, Mendez has adopted a new motto: “More beauty, fewer plants, less work!’

Sounds good to me!

Like with so many projects we undertake to simplify our lives, Step 1 is an inventory of what you now have and a list of what has to go.

This can be emotional when it comes to plants.

“Remember and repeat after me: Plants are not my children or my pets,” writes Mendez, an awardwinning author and popular lecturer.

Some of her right-sizing decisions involved replacing a small pond and water garden with water bubbling from a rock “fountain.”

She still gets the soothing sounds of moving water.

Her redesign included removing some of the flower beds in her extensive garden and replacing them with sod. Some would argue a lawn is not a low-maintenance solutions, but it sure is easier to hire someone to cut

the grass than someone who can weed and trim a flower bed.

Other beds, including those next to the exterior walls of her house, were reduced to a more manageable size.

Short-lived plants including biennials that bloom one year and die the next had to go, even though it meant saying farewell to foxgloves.

Her hit list includes the fleeting pleasures of irises, tender plants that must spend the winter indoors, suckering shrubs that wander too far, diseaseprone plants and any others that don’t perform well enough and long enough to earn their space in a small garden.

Here are some of the design ideas she shares: ■ Replace mixed perennial beds with flowering shrubs such as ninebark, gold- and blue-leafed spireas, fothergilla, weigela, blue mist shrub and azaleas.

■ Depend on foliage for long-lasting colors, shapes and textures. She estimates two out of three plants in her garden have captivating leaves that persist long after flowers are gone.

■ Use inanimate objects as focal points, such as urns, birdbaths or metal sculptures.

■ Use fewer varieties but more of each variety you choose. Not only will your garden appear more

unified, but the constant need to provide specialized maintenance to individual plants scattered here and there also will be reduced or eliminated.

■ Select supersize perennials that masquerade as shrubs, such as hostas like Sum and Substance and Empress Wu; ligularia, hardy hibiscus, goats beard and big rudbeckias like Herbstonne and Henry Eilers.

■ You can make a small garden appear larger by placing plants with delicate airy leaves behind large-leafed varieties, or by placing plants with dark- colored flowers and/ or foliages behind those with hot colors like red, yellow and orange.

Useful lists with photos include long-lived perennials, perennials that do not need dividing, perennials that bloom for eight weeks or longer, perennials that do not require deadheading, long-lived bulbs, shrubs with threeseason interest, shrubs that rarely need pruning, fragrant flowering shrubs, ornamental trees, tidy evergreens and great plants for containers, including shrubs.

You can find more tips at Mendez’s Perennially Yours website, pyours.com and on her Facebook page.

Forecast: Farewell Well-known Channel 5 weatherman Dave Brown is retiring

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

A

Memphis broadcast personality for more than half a century, Dave Brown has what a meteorologist might call snowy hair and a sunny smile.

He also has pale blue eyes and a resonant, authoritative voice.

He’s a handsome, reassuring guy, yet he probably has caused more Mid-Southerners to cower beneath tables and hide in closets than any other living person.

“He’s saved my life more times than he’ll ever know,” said Andrea Ahlers, 35, a receptionist at WMC-TV Channel 5 headquarters on Union Avenue, recalling evenings when Brown caused her to take cover with his warnings of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, high winds and other alarming weather phenomena.

Unlike Brown, Ahlers is not a certiied broadcast meteorologist, but her sad eyes Aug. 17 afternoon were a barometer providing an accurate measurement for a forecast calling for tears, hugs and other forms of bittersweet public afection.

Before a gathering of friends and coworkers in the WMC Action News 5 studio, Brown announced he was ending what may be the longest full-time television career in Memphis history.

His inal broadcast as chief meteorologist will be Aug. 31, the day before his 69th birthday. After that he hands the baton to his longtime colleague, Ron Childers, a whippersnapper who has worked at Channel 5 for only 28 years.

“I don’t plan on acting my age,” said Brown, who lives in Lakeland with his wife, Margaret. “In the words of the

credibility.

“It was a totally diferent world,” he added, recalling an era when Memphis had only four television stations: the three commercial network ailiates, plus PBS-connected WKNO-TV Channel 10.

This was the heyday of original local television programming, when such Memphis figures as kiddieshow host Happy Hal, sportscaster “Big Jack” Eaton, horror host Sivad (“the Monster of Ceremonies”) and Dick “Mr. Magic” Williams were as familiar as Johnny Carson or Oprah Winfrey.

Brown’s colleagues paid tribute to their exiting co-worker Aug. 17, even though his honorary title of chief meteorologist emeritus leaves the door open for him to return for the occasional special report.

“There’s no more generous guy you could ever meet,” said sports anchor Jarvis Greer, a youngster with only 36 years of experience at Action News 5. “He always had a smile on his face, even through tragic times.”

The most tragic of these times was in 1997, when Stefanie Kuehl, one of Brown’s three daughters, was killed by a drunken driver in an accident that also took the lives of Kuehl’s 6-monthold daughter, Zadie, and her unborn son, already named Thomas by Kuehl and her husband.

The tragedy transformed Brown into an activist against drunk driving but also demonstrated the bond that existed between Brown and his audience.

“The absolute worst time of my life, obviously, was when the kids were killed,” he said.

“This was before e-mail and the Internet, and people took the time to write literally thousands of cards and letters, and I read every one of them. They don’t know how much that helped.”

Everywhere he goes, he said, he’s recognized — and not just in Memphis. “But that’s part of the fun. I feel like that’s a great compliment, that people feel like they know us.”

Community GERMANTOWN

Pet briefs and adoptions

Schools will cost G’town $12 million, no tax hike till 2018 Janda, alderman representative to the city’s inancial advisory commission, a group of about 20 experts from the private inance sector who scrutinize bond sales and other budget issues and pass their recommendations to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The board approved the city’s budget last spring.

Opening it now to include school debt will require three readings before the board, including a public hearing scheduled Oct. 12. “We told you we would be back before you to talk about the school needs,� city administrator Patrick Lawton told the panel as the discussion began.

An expansion at Riverdale will allow the suburban district to get rid of 22 portable classrooms behind the school that Supt.

Jason Manuel described as looking like a “Third World country.�

Riverdale was built in 1968 to accommodate 755 students. It has more than 1,200, including 315 nonresident students. “We really don’t want to build something for nonresidents,� Manuel said, adding that the district could control the student numbers by allowing few-

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

Germantown is prepared to begin adding capacity to its crowded schools with no tax increase to citizens, at least until 2018.

Even then, at least one alderman believes, new retail and other businesses in the city will ofset the cost through increased sales tax revenues.

The city’s advisory financial commission Thursday unanimously approved a recommendation to amend its currentyear budget to add $12 million in capital projects for schools, including a $10 million expansion at Riverdale Elementary and $2 million to build an athletic complex at Houston High.

It’s possible both would be ready for the start of school in 2017.

Germantown Municipal School District would fund $300,000 of the bond debt a year for 30 years.

The city’s share would be approximately $680,000 a year, starting in 2017. “Let me point out, there is no tax increase with this scenario,� said Rock

er transfers as resident numbers increase.

The addition at Houston would alleviate the stress of farming athletic practices out around the city and stacking them up in the school gym until as late as 10 p.m., Manuel said.

Germantown is the third of the six suburban districts making plans to build new schools just a year after they opened.

Lakeland issued $20 million in capital outlay notes this summer for a new middle school.

Collierville is moving forward on plans for a $95 million high school, even though residents in an unscientiic poll said they were against it, 2,232 to 2,194.

Germantown is the irst where the school district itself is ofering to foot some of the bill. Its portion would be $5 million over 30 years.

The district also desperately needs more elementary space. Dogwood and Farmington are each over capacity by 150 students this year.

By 2018, Germantown projects it will need to issue $18 million in bonds for a new elementary — potentially raising taxes 15 cents per $100 of value.
