Germantown Weekly ELECTIONS

Early voting pace down 26 percent fewer than 2010 election By Kyle Veazey veazey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2799

Four state constitutional amendments, wine in food stores referendums and a somewhat competitive U.S. Senate race don’t seem to be magnets to drive Shelby County voters to the polls. As of the close of polls Tuesday, ten percent of Shelby County registered voters have cast ballots in early vot- i n g for the Nov. 4 general election, a igure that lags behind the most recent comparable election in 2010. The Shelby County Election Commission reported 56,338 early votes. That’s down 26 percent from the same point in the 2010 midterm. The SCEC reported 8,749 voters cast their ballots Tuesday, the highest daily total of the period. Suburban locations, led by New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Germantown and Collierville Church of Christ, lead the turnout. Voters 55 and older make up 71 percent of the early vote; those 34 and under make up 6 percent. Early voting continues through today from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 21 Shelby County locations in advance of the Nov. 4 general election. On Tuesday, voters must cast their ballots at their assigned precincts. Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. To ind your polling place or for more information, visit the Shelby County Election Commission website at shelbyvote.com.

Kids, parents trick-ortreat at Collierville Town Square

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

Last Friday, Collierville’s historic Town Square was the place to be. Youngsters had a chance to celebrate Halloween a week early for the ifth annual Scare on the Square. Those in attendance collected candy from the many merchants that line the Square. Meanwhile, the gazebo was surrounded by booths where face painting, nail

painting, balloon blowing and other crafts were taking place. The roadway in front of the depot was lined with games where families encouraged young players in the “witch ring toss” and pumpkin bowling. As with every year, the Collierville Junior Auxiliary partnered with the Main Street Collierville to present Scare on the Square. Oicials estimated that 1,500 people attended this year’s event.

With pumpkin patches popping up all over town, one knows that fall has inally arrived, and with it, the annual Au Pair Care pumpkin carving event. While carving pumpkins is an American tradition, many au pairs have never participated in this fun tradition. Shelby Farms Park provided the perfect backdrop for these au pairs to learn the “art” of carving a pumpkin.

MORE CAMERAS

More red-light cameras added 30 intersections to be monitored By Jody Callahan callahan@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6531

The city of Memphis is installing 31 new trafic cameras to catch drivers speeding through red lights. The installation of the cameras has begun and should be complete next month, said Jason Norton, a vice president at American Traic Solutions. ATS is installing the new cameras, as it did

the earlier ones when the program began in 2009. When complete, the city will have 57 cameras at 30 intersections. Warning signs will alert drivers that the cameras are in use at the intersections, officials said. Although some of the cameras are already operational, Norton said, authorities will only be issuing warning notices for a while. After that, anyone caught running a red light is subject to a $50 ine. “This is a win-win for Memphians. The safety program is funded by violators and not taxpayers.

Any revenue from the program goes back in to helping keep Memphis safe by providing funds for police car dash cameras and neighborhood watch programs,” city chief administrative oicer George Little said in a prepared statement. According to Norton, the city is inancing the cameras through a Bank of America loan. For the next ive years, the city will pay approximately $4,000 a month for each camera; that igure includes the cost of the loan as well as a $2,100 monthly service fee to ATS.

Germantown Police reports

Memphis oicials are adding 31 new red-light cameras at 18 intersections, bringing the total to 57 cameras at 30 intersections. According to the city, these will have cameras:

That fee includes maintenance, insulation, processing the photos and ines as well as the Internet service, Norton said. ATS does not receive a cut of the money raised by citations. Once the city pays of the cost of the cameras through the money raised from ines, it will then just be obligated for the ATS monthly fee, Norton said. The city approved the expenditure for the cameras in its budget for the next iscal year. Although these cameras have only been authorized to catch red-light scolaws,

Everyday hero Germantown boy earns top police honor for rescuing 2-year-old brother from pool By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Cohen Sloan said his 2-yearold brother, Charlie Quinn, was always getting into things. “Like hand sanitizer,” he said. So on June 2, when 8-year-old Cohen was playing inside his Germantown home with his cousin and realized he hadn’t seen Charlie for a little while, he went to ind him. “I saw somebody laying in the pool, and it was my little brother,” Cohen said. Charlie, Cohen’s half-brother, was fully dressed and face-down in the water. He was close enough to the edge for Cohen to reach into the pool, grab his brother by the shoulders and pull him onto land. Cohen then ran into the house, alerted his grandmother and called 911. He said a few words to the dispatcher before handing the phone to his grandmother. The boys’ mother, Jessica Sloan, said they did the math later and realized Charlie could have been in the water as long as 20 minutes. He was without a heart-

beat for 45 minutes, but survived and spent two months at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Sloan said when she learned what Cohen had done, she was “more proud than surprised.” Cohen, a Boy Scout who loves football, baseball and basketball, was honored for his bravery last Thursday at Farmington Elementary, where he is in the third grade. Germantown police presented Cohen with the Certiicate of Service civilian award, the highest honor the department gives to someone who is not a police oficer. The presentation was a surprise. About two dozen Germantown police officers and dispatchers, along with a few ireighters, came to Farmington for what the third-graders were told was an assembly about safety. Deputy Chief Rodney Bright asked the audience how many thought it took bravery and courage to be a police oicer, and then reminded the students they don’t have to be a police oicer or a ireighter to be just as brave. “Who thinks that even third-

graders can be brave and courageous when things get scary?” Bright asked. With every kid raising a hand, Bright asked if they knew Cohen’s story. Most said they did. “He really did some grownup things,” Bright said before bringing Cohen onto the cafeteria stage, where he and Lt. Bill Stemmler presented Cohen with his award and adorned his head with a Germantown police hat. He was about to leave the stage when from behind the curtain came a shiny new red mountain bike with a lashing headlight, donated by Target. Cohen’s eyes, which had been squinting for pictures with his new award, doubled in size, as did his smile. Cohen said later he knew something was up in the morning. “My mom said there’s going to be a tiny surprise today,” he said. And when he arrived in the cafeteria, he said, “I looked over and I got a little embarrassed because my whole family was here.” Little brother Charlie was home, unable to attend; the accident left him with severe cognitive injuries, but he is making progress with movement and communication. Sloan said she was glad to see Cohen recognized by the community, even though his family tells him regularly that he’s a hero.

GCT brings mystery with Agatha Christie

Like pumpkins and trickor-treating, Germantown Community Theatre’s annual fall staging of a macabre mystery by venerated crime writer Agatha Christie has become a Halloween tradition. The company’s latest Christie production, “Go Back For Murder,” runs Thursdays-Sundays through Nov. 9 at the theater at 3037 Forest HillIrene Road. “I think for the die-hard Agatha Christie fans, this will hopefully be enjoyable because it retains all the great things that make her writing so fantastic,” says director Ryan Kathman. “But for anyone who’s like, ‘Eh, I don’t know if I’m interested in that. That sounds like something my grandparents would go see,’ ... I think you might be surprised.” The Commercial Appeal

SHELBY COUNTY COMMISSION

Commissioners’ lawsuit accuses Ford of abusing power By Linda A. Moore lmoore@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2702

Seven County Commissioners — six Democrats and a Republican — iled a lawsuit Monday in Chancery Court to seek clariication on the authority of commission chairman Justin Ford. The lawsuit against Ford stems from a resolution that Republican Commissioner Steve Basar submitted twice, but was pulled by Ford from a committee agenda. The case is in Chancel-

lor Walter Evans’ court and a hearing on a temporary restraining order is scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 6. Ford could not be reached for comment. “It’s over a procedural matter,” Basar said. “He approves the agenda and he has taken that to mean he can strike items from the agenda.” For the Oct. 8 committee meeting, Basar submitted a resolution to change the commission’s rules to allow times to be added to the agenda with a simple majority instead of a twothirds majority.

Ford asked Basar to resubmit that item for the Oct. 22 committee meeting, but Ford then struck the item from the agenda. “This speciically addresses the right of Commissioner Basar and myself as co-sponsor, ultimately, to pursue having items on the committee agenda without arbitrary interference, without them being precluded or blocked,” he said. “ The commission’s rules say the commission chairman approves the agenda. But, the lawsuit said, those rules do not “vest

the Chair with unbridled discretion to preclude or defeat items at the Administrative level.” It asks for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction against Ford. County attorney Marcy Ingram said her oice has not been oicially served, but it has engaged outside counsel to represent Ford. “There will be some concern whether or not our oice would be conlicted because we represent both the plaintif and the defendants,” Ingram

said. “So to err on the side of caution, we just decided to engage outside counsel to remove that issue from the lawsuit.” Besides Bailey and Basar, the other plaintifs in the lawsuit are Willie Brooks, Melvin Burgess, Eddie Jones, Reginald Milton and Van Turner, who is serving as Bailey’s co-counsel. “They feel as I do that the chairman doesn’t necessarily have the right to arbitrarily strike things from the agenda, especially when they’ve been properly submitted,” Basar said.

Community RACE FOR THE CURE

Dancing to the finish For cancer patients, Race for the Cure has special meaning By Katie Fretland fretland@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2785

Dana Mann was 35 years old in November 2011 when her doctor found a tumor in her left breast during a routine mammogram. Through her battle with breast cancer, which included surgery, eight rounds of chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiation, she looked for something positive in each day. On Valentine’s Day 2012, she and her boyfriend, Chris Sloan, shaved their heads together, she said. “I believe a positive attitude and a great outlook on life will help get you through even the hardest of times,” she said. “You can’t give up, you know. You can’t let it win. You have to fight every day.” Now in remission, Mann joined more than 10,000 people last Saturday at Carriage Crossing in Collierville for the 22nd annual Race for the Cure, the annual fundraiser sponsored by Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth for breast cancer research and awareness. “It’s very emotional,” Mann said. “You get to see the other survivors, the other support teams, the other people in the area who care enough to give.” Elaine Hare, executive director of Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth, said Saturday that $750,000 had been raised from sponsorships, registrations and donations. The organization hopes to reach $1

million, and fundraising lasts until Nov. 24. The event supports breast cancer screenings, education and treatment, according to the local organization, which has contributed millions of dollars to local breast health programs and national breast cancer research. The organization supports 14 Tennessee counties and seven Mississippi counties. Thousands of people, some wearing elaborate pink outfits or wigs, bunny ears or tutus, gathered for the race. “This is what I call a great Memphis moment,” said emcee Ron Olson.

Organization sends veterans back to famous World War II sites

FOREVERYOUNG By Daniel Hight Special to The Weekly

T

he Forever Young Senior Veterans Organization had the honor of returning D-Day and Battle of the Bulge veterans back to Europe to honor the 70th anniversaries of the historic battles. In June, there were many special moments on the beaches of Normandy, like meeting President Ronald Reagan’s son, Michael Reagan, who came to honor our Mid-South heroes. The veterans also signed hundreds of autographs and experienced gratitude from people all over the world. “I never would have believed we’d receive such a warm welcome,” said Earl Williams, who was deployed on Utah Beach. “I’m very surprised.” Many of the veterans were overwhelmed by the positive reception. “The war would have been a lot better if we’d received all this attention the irst time we came,” D-Day veteran Bob Richards said. He added with a smile, “I feel we made a diference in the world.” In September, 11 men who fought in Belgium and Luxembourg had the opportunity to go back to honor their 70th anniversary as well. Touring the two countries aforded the men an opportunity to seek out the exact locations where their units fought. During their travels, the vets had a chance to look for foxholes, castles, hotels and towns they passed through during the war. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the men — many of whom had never been back. “I never imagined I’d come back to Belgium after 70 years,” said Jesse Davis, a 101st Airborne Paratrooper. “Finding the castle where I was taken when I was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge was an unbelievable experience.” In 2015, Forever Young will take vets to Italy and the Paciic. If you are interested in a trip, or want to help send one of these heroes back to where they fought, call 901-299-7516 or visit foreveryoungseniorwish.org.

District has long to-do list on school buildings With no improvements in years, deferred maintenance costs high By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The five buildings that make up Germantown Municipal Schools have $23 million in deferred maintenance costs, district operations manager Josh Cathey said last Friday, and that number does not include $7 million it would cost for a permanent building on the Riverdale campus to replace portable classrooms. Supt. Jason Manuel said any school district will always have a capital improvement to-do list, but at the start of the new district, the need is high. “We really haven’t had capital improvements at our schools for three to four years,” Manuel said. “It’s larger than normal.” How to prioritize those needs and balance them with a plan to grow the district was the subject of last Friday’s meeting with Manuel, Cathey, other members of the administration and the district’s planner. Board members Ken Hoover and Lisa

Parker also attended, along with city economic and community development director Cameron Ross and PTA members. While updating the current buildings is a priority, Manuel said the district needs to think years ahead. “Where we are right now with our current needs doesn’t address our future growth,” he said, even when the number of nonresidents attending a Germantown school is subtracted. Cathey said the cost for a new elementary school would be about $15 million, though a $30 million figure had been batted about this campaign season. “Divide that by two, you’re getting closer. Around $15 million. And that’s a really nice elementary school.” However, the $15 million would not include purchasing land or outfitting the building with technology, furniture and other soft-cost needs. Cathey said the number is based on a squarefootage projection of what it would cost to build a school exactly the size of

Farmington or Dogwood Elementary schools, which each have around 800 students. Manuel said $15 million is also the number the insurance company gave the district as the amount it would take to replace one of the elementary schools if they were knocked down. Even if the district built a new elementary school to service the south side of the city, it would not eliminate the need for updates to the other five schools. Cathey said the $23 million price tag would put each school in either “good” or “excellent” condition. Houston Middle had the smallest costs for repairs at just over $3 million. Factoring in replacing the portable classrooms, Riverdale’s projected costs are over $11 million. Houston High is almost $7 million, Farmington is $3.6 million and Dogwood is $4.6 million. “You do it in phases,” Cathey said. “You prioritize what can wait and what needs to be done immediately to keep the school functional.” A top priority, other than Riverdale’s portables, is Farmington’s windows. The district is looking to replace them

using the $975,000 allocated this year from the Shelby County Board of Commissioners for capital improvements. Cathey said he has

another $340,000 in his budget for such improvements, but will wait until closer to the end of the fiscal year to spend it in case of an emergency mainte-

nance issue. Board member Hoover said getting rid of Riverdale’s portables is a top priority, but must be looked at as part of a long-term plan.

very fall, students across Tennessee create posters to raise awareness of National Fire Prevention Week, as established by the National Fire Protection Association. This year’s theme is “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives; Test Yours Every Month!” The Collierville Fire Department received 34, school-level, winning entries this year from both public and private Collierville schools. Thirteen posters, one from each grade level, were selected by ire department personnel to repre-

National Fire Prevention poster contest winners named sent Collierville at the statewide competition, which will be held in December. Tennessee has one of the highest ire death rates in the country. Last year, 70 percent of fatal ires happened in homes without a working smoke alarm. By creatively participating in this contest, students learn the importance of early ire detection, including how and when to test smoke alarms and smoke alarm placement.

Cole Waycaster, a sixth-grader from Collierville Middle School, reminds us to test smoke alarms monthly by pushing the alarm’s test button until the alarm sounds. A second-grader from Crosswind Elementary School, Jordan Lewin, created a poster to illustrate proper smoke alarm placement — a house diagram with smoke alarms in each bedroom, on each level of the house and outside each sleeping area.

Not only do the students learn about smoke alarm safety, but the posters’ messages can be shared with family, friends, classmates and neighbors. Winning posters will be sent to Nashville to the State Fire Marshal’s Oice for judging Dec. 8-12. The statewide winners will be honored at an awards ceremony at the Tennessee Fire Service and Code Enforcement Academy in February. Last year, three Collierville students won at the state level and the Collierville Fire Department is hoping for a similar result this year.

Bodine shares dyslexia training with public schools By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

Josh Clark, head of Bodine School, had long suspected that the stress of poverty shorted the circuitry of brain, and while neurologically diferent, the misiring looked and acted a lot like dyslexia. Last summer, when he was driving and listening on tape to Paul Tough’s “How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character,� he nearly drove of the road. “We knew that students coming from low-socioeconomic backgrounds often have language and literacy skills similar to a dyslexic learner. We initially attributed it exclusively to environment, but as we read Tough’s work, we understood the environment was actually inhibiting the development of working memory.� Work ing memor y, sometimes called shortterm memory, is the agility it takes to hold an idea to produce an output. “If you give children a series of numbers and letters, they will most likely be able to repeat them back,� Clark said. “If you say, now repeat them back in numerical and alphabetical order, that requires working memory.� Through its Erika Center — in memory of sixthgrader Erika Yunkun — Bodine is ofering other teachers free access to its staf training for teaching children with dyslexia. This summer, for instance, it ofered a iveday course on multisen-

sory strategies in math and reading. Teachers attended from the Achievement School Districts, Teach for America, Literacy MidSouth, KIPP Memphis and DeSoto County Public Schools. “The strategies might include inger spelling,� said Clark. “You spell the words in the air, introducing kinesthetic movement, as you decode those sounds or units of sound. Another is introducing a sound with a key word and a motion, giving the brain diferent triggers to process that sound.� Two weeks ago, it offered a two-day session in reading, helping teachers incorporate strategies that use diferent brain pathways, important for children who struggle with reading the way it is traditionally taught. “The training was extremely helpful, mostly because it extended my knowledge about dyslexia and supporting students who are challenged with reading and writing,� said Betsy Whipple, a third-grade teacher at St. George’s Independent School. Bodine’s work is underscored by indings from research released in 2009 at Cornell University. Over 14 years, researchers collected data on 195 children, some living in poverty, some not. At age 17, the students took tests to measure their working memory. Those who spent their childhoods in poverty scored about 20 percent lower in working memory than those who were never poor.

Stress produces a series of hormones to help the body escape danger. Cortisol is one of them. Studies of brain cells in test tubes of cortisol show nerve cells do not grow as aggressively and don’t produce as many connections. “Poverty itself does not mean all these things are going to happen,� said Dr. Hank Herrod, pediatrician and fellow at the Urban Child Institute. “But if you think about our community, where people who are most impoverished tend to be single parents, you can see their worries are: ‘How am I going to pay rent? Where will I get food for the next meal? Who is going to take care of my child if I do have a job?’ � For years, Bodine administrators have wanted to extend the school’s reach. Most studies show that 15 to 20 percent of the population has some form of dyslexia. In Shelby County, that means about 40,000 children. “When we were planning the Erika Center, we figured we needed $200,000 to get it of the ground,� Clark says. “And then, an anonymous donor, who had no idea what our plans were, gave $200,000. The only restriction was it had to be tied to the memory of Erika.� Bodine, in Germantown, also ofers a few services for fee, including helping families in other schools analyze their needs based on test scores and other diagnostics. It also ofers free workshops and talks. But most of the money is directed to helping public school teachers.

Germantown

oicials dispute claim ‘3G’ school was ofered Pickler says he was ‘stunned’ when Germantown passed on proposal By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Current and former Shelby County Schools board members, along with Germantown city leaders, are disputing a claim that SCS would have given Germantown control of at least one “3G” school but the city’s negotiators turned it down. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said if it’s true that the SCS board would have ofered up Germantown Elementary during negotiations last year, he never heard about it. Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy added, “We were never ofered a sixth school under any terms.” The claim came in an e-mail signed by former SCS board member David Pickler and sent through the campaign of Germantown mayoral candidate George Brogdon last Tuesday afternoon. In the e-mail, titled “The REAL reason we lost our schools,” Pickler, a Germantown resident, said, “... we had the votes to keep Germantown Elementary, and it looked good to keep Germantown Middle as well. I was stunned when Germantown’s leaders passed up the opportunity to keep our Germantown schools.” “Never once did any of them say we’ve got the votes to get this for you,” Lawton said. “And never once did Mr. Pickler stand

up and say, ‘The votes are in line to get you Germantown Elementary.’” GermanDavid town ElPickler ementa r y, Middle and High schools are within Germantown city limits, but Shelby County Schools voted to hold onto those schools and not allow them to join the Germantown Municipal School District. Pickler said via phone last Wednesday that the board voted to give only ive schools to Germantown because by that time, Germantown leaders had contacted Shelby County negotiators to say they were moving ahead without the namesake schools, known as the “3Gs.” Pickler said it was his opinion that there could have been at least four SCS board votes to give Germantown at least the elementary school, but the only contract they were given to vote on was for the ive schools. “We were never even given the opportunity to have the debate,” he said. Nathan Bicks, the attorney for Germantown through the debates, said Pickler didn’t have the chance to debate the issue because he wasn’t part of the negotiating team. He said Germantown decided just before the SCS vote on Oct. 28, 2013, to take the

ive schools being ofered, and continue a separate push to get Germantown Elementary. “It was either take the ive or get nothing, and we said we’ll take the ive,” Bicks said. “We fought to the very end.” After the vote, through the end of November, Germantown leaders submitted documents to SCS outlining its oferings to Shelby County, which included use of athletic ields and continued funding of the Germantown High School television station, in exchange for Germantown Elementary. The proposal was rejected. SCS board member Kevin Woods, who was the chairman of the board during the negotiations, said the board voted on the ive-school contract based on the recommendation from Supt. Dorsey Hopson. Fellow board member Chris Caldwell said a contract giving Germantown any of the 3Gs “would never have gotten my vote.” Board member Billy Orgel, who was the appointed board member involved in the negotiations, said, “As a board, we voted to keep those three schools. I don’t remember any subsequent discussion or votes” to change that. The final SCS board vote was 5-1 with Pickler dissenting and board member David Reaves abstaining. Goldsworthy said if Picker thought he had the votes to get Germantown an extra school, “Why would you not tell us you’ve got the votes lined up?”

A&E Jonathan Gibson plays the role of Lumiere in New Day Children’s Theatre’s newest production “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.” New Day Children’s Theatre recently performed the Disney animated smash hit at the Harrell Theatre.

Germantown is fortunate to have an excellent police department, dedicated firefighters and skilled paramedics who all work to keep our community one of the safest in the U.S. But safety in Germantown means more than the support of our trained professionals. It also means elected officials need to listen and respond to the people they serve and address situations that could compromise our safety.

NEW DAY CHILDREN’S THEATRE

Tale as old as time

Listen to residents who say we should never build a six-lane road through the historic district, giving criminals a quick route in and out of town and hurting local businesses.

Young troupe brings ‘Disney’s Beauty and the Beast’ to the small stage

Listen to residents concerned about being blindsided by commercial development within a few feet of their homes, creating a potential security risk while damaging their property values.

By Mary Catherine Loftis Special to The Weekly

I have been fortunate enough to be able to watch New Day Children’s Theatre swell in talent and stature for many years, both as theatergoer and participant. Many years ago, before I knew those involved, I saw my first show at New Day — and with each production since they have raised the bar. New Day is, simply, no longer a children’s theater. After a game-changing adaptation of “Shrek” in 2013, New Day has established itself as a remarkable and respected home for the performing arts. The latest show to grace New Day Theatre’s growing stage is a re-telling of the Disney classic “Beauty and the Beast.” The quality of the production only further illustrates how this fledgling children’s theater has blossomed into something of which all those who participated can be proud.

With a magnificent cast selected by director Ashley Bugg Brown and music director Tammy Holt, and set decorations and costumes to rival those of a well-funded production, the show proved to be a must-see. Against the backdrop of dynamic set design and fantastically vivid costumes, headed by Dawn Bennett with assistants Becca Klepko and Amanda Heady, the classic story of true love and adventure comes to life on the stage. The story is wove through the hysterics of dynamic duo Lumiere, played by Jonathan Gibson, and Cogsworth, played by Prashanth Raj, who keep the audience in stitches, while the sweetness of Belle, Maddie Dunavant, and her growing relationship with the Beast, Jake McCutcheon, stays true to the story we all know and love. With showstopping choreography by Christi Hall, songs like “Gaston,” played by Samuel McFatridge,

Listen to residents who ask repeatedly for speed bumps or traffic lights in their neighborhoods to help keep our children safe.

Maddie Dunavant and Jake McCutcheon re-enact the dance scene from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.”

and “Be Our Guest” — a musical number involving other comedic furniture pieces played by Kendall Christian, Hannah Gray, Olivia Cheng, Megan Cheng — will have you tapping your feet and singing along. The creativity that leaps from this production is unparalleled, breathing fresh air into a timeless classic. In all, “Beauty and the Beast” is what the community should expect from the thriving performance art scene at New Day Children’s Theatre.

John Barzizza wants to bring a business-like approach to city government. He knows that a core value of good business is clear, open communication and listening – really listening – to the people you serve. John will use his 43 years of business experience to help Germantown make the best decisions for our safety, protecting our property values and quality of life now and in the future.

Scott Lane likes to describe playing music as “yoga for the brain.” As a musician for most of his life, Lane, who owns Lane Music in Germantown and Memphis Music, he understands the importance of playing a musical instrument. Playing music, according to Lane, can be a stress reliever and is something that’s good for a person’s spirt and soul. “I believe there are so many people who are in dire situations because they have no outlet,” Lane said. “You can say things with music that you can’t say with words.” Lane moved from Murfreesboro to Memphis in 1987 and opened his music store, Shuf’s Music in Germantown, in August of that year. In 2003, he moved the store to its current location, 9309 Pop-

Bass player since age 17 years old. Played in Nashville and Murfreesboro, including gigs at the Grand Ole Opry and with the Nashville Symphony. What makes your business unique: We are a full

line music store that sells everything from guitars, pianos, we give lessons, ofer recitals. We are a home grown business and we are in the business of getting families to understand the importance of music. What are some of your

Sports HOUSTON 49, COLLIERVILLE 21

Mustangs’ fast start dooms Dragons By Hunter Field Special to The Commercial Appeal

Houston wasted no time taking control of the second-place slot in District 15-AAA against Collierville last Friday night. The Mustangs (8-1, 4-1) rode a near-perfect ofensive performance to dismantle the Dragons 49-21 in front of an electric home crowd. Houston, ranked sixth in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen, only needed one play to put their irst points on the scoreboard, as quarterback Jared Schmidt took the Mustangs’ irst play from scrimmage 91 yards for a touchdown. “I saw a huge hole that my ofensive line opened up and trusted the backside blocking,” Schmidt, who finished with 218 yards passing and two touchdowns, said after the

game. “It’s great having such a good coach to show me all those little kinks in the option game, but it all goes back to the ofensive line playing well.” The Mustangs used some trickery on their next scoring drive. Chase MossPioreck caught Schmidt’s pitch and pulled up to throw just as the defense collapsed on the run, inding Parks O’Neil wide open in the back of the end zone. Schmidt then called his own number for the second time, scurrying for an 11-yard touchdown to put the Mustangs up 21-0. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound senior led the Mustangs with 111 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Houston got the ball right back, and Chanse Pullen snagged a 2-yard touchdown pass from Schmidt on a quick slant over the middle. The nightmare irst half

continued for the Dragons, as Drew Dowdy sneaked into the passing lane to intercept Garrett Booth’s pass for a 20-yard pick-six. Booth, inally, put Collierville on the board with a 30-yard bomb to Drew Van de Vuurst, the irst of two touchdown receptions for the senior, but the

Mustangs responded with a 24-yard TD connection from Schmidt to Moss-Pioreck, who inished with 127 yards receiving, to take a 42-7 lead into halftime after outgaining the Dragons 363-92. But Collierville would not roll over, scoring on its opening drive of the sec-

ond half with a 2-yard run from Peyton McCay, who inished the night with 56 yards on 17 carries. Houston’s defense was dominating, with coach Will Hudgens calling it a group efort that all started up front. “We swarmed the ball from everywhere,” he

said. “But I really thought we won the battle up front on both sides of the ball.” Hudgens said he could not have been happier with the way his team bounced back from a disappointing loss to No. 2 Ridgeway a week ago. “Each week we’re 0-0,” he said. “We had that mindset all this week in practice, and it’s no diferent with Kirby coming up next (this) week.”

IN ANOTHER DISTRICT 15-AAA GAME Germantown 45, Wooddale 16 at Halle: Cameron

Taweri and Jacob Ivy each had two touchdown runs as the Red Devils (4-6, 3-3, 15AAA) moved closer to securing a playof berth. Jona Ligon added a 37-yard punt return for the Red Devils. Jerry Craine threw scoring passes of 8 and 76 yards to Stonie Fitzgerald to lead the Cardinals (1-8, 0-5).

COMPETITIVE SKATING

Mid-South Speed Skating League to meet Nov. 2 at FunQuest in Collierville By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

At 57, Jim Wilcox has gotten 10-15 pounds of his frame, a bit of his youth back, and a chance to bond competitively with his 15-year-old daughter Emma. That it has meant occasionally bonding hunks of his skin with the hard reality that is a roller rink … had to be a downside somewhere. “If you don’t take a fall, you’re not trying to improve,” Wilcox said. The Wilcoxes, and approximately 150 other speed-and-loorburn junk-

ies from ive states will be at the FunQuest rink in Collierville Nov. 2 at 6 a.m. for the monthly gathering of the Mid-South Speed Skating League. Competitors will go on to early afternoon competing on both inline skates, and the traditional fourwheeled boot. It’s just like you see in the Olympics. Folks roaring around a 100-meter oval course anywhere from one to 30 laps. Well, without ice, with wheels instead of blades, and Apollo Anton Ono sitting this one out in some sandwich shop.

Approximately 40 of those skaters belong to the The Sprinters club that includes 25 who train regularly in and around FunQuest, and 15 more from Murfreesboro. Others will come from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. They compete the irst Sunday of every month between October and May. Devotees also traverse the USA Roller Sports circuit, which climaxes in with national championships in July (2015 in Albuquerque). “I’ve been skating competitively since I was 11 years old,” said Sprinters

head coach Michael Johnson, now 47. “It’s taken me to places all over this country. “We practice four times a week,” he said. “And to add to my itness I’ll ride my bike 20-25 miles a day, and several club members do the same thing.” Justin Topham, who will try to medal at this weekend’s state meet with Germantown’s cross country team, medaled in last summer’s USARS nationals. Wilcox, a native of Upstate New York, is technically a beginner. “Emma started speed skating, and I took it up eight months

ago as a way to get a little more it.” He took the more traditional (read: frozen) path to his love of skating, playing hockey as a 125-pound center. “I was all over the ice, skating around people — until someone caught me in the corners,” he said. The skills, and thrills he discovered, never go away, and he has become the club’s assistant coach. “Skating skills are skating skills, and it’s been a blast … though I’m still adjusting to being on inline skates rather than hockey skates.” Then there’s the matter of hitting the deck.

“The ice is harder, but you slide. Here, you brake really quick and usually give yourself a pretty good loor burn. I’ve left my share of skin,” Wilcox said. “You’re going 30 mph, as fast as they go on the ice, and the falls can be a little more serious,” Johnson said. “Wood covered with polyurethane is not a forgiving substance.” So why not load up on the body armor? “Just slows you down,” Wilcox said with a brave laugh. For more information, visit colliervillesprinters. net, or call Johnson at FunQuest, 850-6900.

Sports PREP VOLLEYBALL

ECS rallies to defeat local rivals en route to state title match By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

The ending wasn’t what they had hoped for. But the Evangelical Christian School volleyball team still had plenty of reason to be happy last Friday. The Eagles, the only Shelby-Metro team to reach the state inals, lost to Knoxville Webb, 25-18, 25-23, 25-13 in the Division 2-A championship match. It’s the second straight championship for the Spartans. ECS inishes the year with a 24-13 record. “That was our goal at the start of the year, to

get to the championship game,” said Eagles coach Tommy Danner. “The irst two games I think could have gone either way. “In the third, we started mishandling the ball and we lost some of our momentum. I told them before the game to not have any regrets and I think we played very well. I’m proud of what we accomplished.” Olivia Allen and Taylor Anderton led the Eagles with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Kelsey Crunk had 12 digs and Danner also praised the defensive play of Georgia Peeler and Tara Norman.

“Everybody contributed,” Danner said. “It was a total team efort.” To reach the inals, the Eagles had to first defeat Harding Academy in a four-game elimination match and then St. George’s, the team that handed them a loss on the opening day of the state tournament. The Eagles dropped the first two games of the elimination match to the Gryphons, but rallied to win 21-25, 2225, 25-23, 25-18, 15-13. The Gryphons, who end the year with a 35-8 record, lost to Webb earlier last Thursday to set up the elimination match

Senior Neel scores four TDs; Owls top Chiefs By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

ANDREA MORALES/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Collierville’s Missy Tammi and Hannah Hilburn celebrate after a goal was scored at the sectional match against Arlington last Saturday afternoon at Arlington High School. The Dragons won 2-0 to advance to this week’s state tournament. Houston also advanced in AAA with a 4-0 win over Bartlett.

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

Collierville’s Brittany Streger said it’s been a pleasure to coach senior Hannah Hillburn this year. “I think I’ve only had to yell at her twice,” Collierville’s irst-year head coach said. And after last Saturday, Hillburn probably has built up enough good will to last a lifetime. The senior scored a pair of second-half goals to give the Dragons a 2-0 soccer victory over host Arlington in a AAA sectional match. The victory sends Collierville to the state tournament, which began Wednesday in Murfreesboro. The Dragons will be joined in the AAA ield by defending state champion Houston, which eliminated Bartlett last Saturday, 4-0. St. George’s will also get a chance to defend its state title after knocking of Knoxville Webb, 3-0, in Division 2-A.

Houston blanks Bartlett in other sectional match Those three will join Briarcrest, which qualiied in Division 2-AA with a victory last Thursday. “Hannah is very special,” said Streger. “She actually has an injury that afects her breathing. She has cartilage around her windpipe ... she’ll literally be wheezing and not want to come out of the game.” After controlling much of the irst half, Hillburn got the irst for Collierville nine minutes after the break, creating a sliver of space for her shot before a good inish. She tapped home the second after a scramble in front of the goal with about 12 minutes to go. “We just wanted to put good pressure on them,” said Hillburn. “We knew we had the heart and the passion; we just wanted

to stay competitive.” At Houston, Anna Della Rosa’s unassisted goal opened the scoring before Madeline Petro made it 2-0 at halftime. Gabby Little got the third before Robyn Pennella closed things out two minutes before the whistle. Jillian Hildreth had two assists for the Mustangs, who are 18-0-2. Isabel Correia scored the irst two for St. George’s, which improves to 13-4-4. Lizzie Ouellette also had a goal and the Gryphons’ defense did an excellent job limiting the chances of Webb standout Halsey Howard. Briarcrest Christian School advanced with a 2-0 victory over Nashville Ensworth. Brittany Hatmaker and Alyssa Neuberger each had a goal and an assist for the Saints (16-1-2). Two other area Division 2-A teams were eliminated with road losses last Saturday. ECS fell to Battle Ground Academy, 2-0, and University School of Nashville defeated St. Mary’s, 3-0.

When Memphis University School running back Bradley Foley reached the end zone at the end of a 69-yard run in the third quarter last Friday night, the irst thing he did was look behind him to check for lags. There weren’t any, but that’s the kind of year it’s been for the Owls. “There haven’t been a lot of times when things have been comfortable,” said coach Bobby Alston. “At times we’ve struggled.” The Owls did a lot more good than bad against Craigmont, defeating the Chiefs 49-26 in a late non-division matchup. MUS improved to 6-3, while the Chiefs fall to 7-2. “Our guys played hard,” said Alston, whose team will host Briarcrest Friday with second place in Division 2-AA West — and a irst-round playof bye — on the line. As they have been all season, the Owls were led by Colton Neel. The senior running back scored four touchdowns, giving him 23 on the year and 58 for his career. He had touchdown runs of 6, 5 and 32 yards — the last a highlight-reel special — and caught a 6-yard pass from Marcus Evans. He inished with 132 yards on 19 carries, and he had 90 yards on kickof and punt returns. “He’s just a really good football player,” said Alston. Neel, who will play baseball at the University of Memphis, was all too happy to share the glory. “It’s these guys,” he said, pointing to a pair of ofensive linemen. “I just carry the ball. The touchdowns belong to them, too.”

SNAPSHOTS

Collierville’s boys cross country team won the Region 8-AAA championships last Friday at Shelby Farms. The Dragons scored 32 points to outdistance second-place Germantown (50) and thirdplace Houston (66). All three qualified for Saturday’s state championship meet in Nashville.

Ella Baran (Houston), Sammy Brainard (Collierville), Emma Reed (Houston), Shian Mallory (Houston), Maddie Lindemann (Houston), Emilee Hudsmith (White Station), Danielle Myers (Collierville), Savannah Jordan (White Station), Marah Barnhart (Houston) and Amelia Baran (Houston) were the top 10 finishers at last week’s Region 8-AAA girls cross country championships held at Shelby Farms.

that weren’t in Shelby County Schools. Just ask Collierville. When Stan Joyner was elected mayor there in 2008, the big debate produced some pointed lines about whether the mayor should be full time or part time, but if there were flashpoints about schools, they weren’t dramatic enough to warrant inclusion in The Commercial Appeal’s story. And when our editorial board endorsed candidates in all suburban races just six years ago, education and schools weren’t mentioned. Just ask Bartlett. When Keith McDonald took office as mayor in 2002, he slammed his opponent as “a great fisherman and a good motorcycle police officer,” but schools seemed nowhere near top of mind. (To be fair, the Germantown candidates’ most pointed back-and-forth last Tuesday night actually pertained to disclosures on campaign signs.) There’s no use picking the scab that got us here. Suburban municipal schools are a reality — and so are all the headaches, debates, number-crunching and overflow crowds at candidate forums that arrive with them. And the political fights did not end when ribbons were cut to open the systems. The battle over how to fund schools — specifically, how to build bigger and better — is a new gift in the laps of suburban leaders. And it’s a new issue changing the dynamics of these races, at least compared to the last decade. Just visit Germantown these days to find out.

The past is prologue. We must preserve this history. It is a history that has helped to shape our nation, our world. Together we can ensure that our children will live in a society of equality and access. Join the Movement for equal rights, social justice and equal education.

eration of intentions both legal and political. Kelsey: “Amendment 3 begins in a confusing manner to ensure that a liberal judge cannot ever allow a state income tax. I thought Amendment 3 was drafted very clearly, but the House redrafted much of it after we had passed it in the Senate. Language tends to get longer as 132 legislators ofer their input.” Here’s Kelsey’s boileddown version of Amendment 3: “Amendment 3 prohibits a state income tax or local payroll tax.” Which is crystal clear, as far as it goes. But there’s more to any new law than its actual sentence construction. “The true key for the construction of everything doubtful in a law is the intention of the lawmakers,” wrote Thomas Jeferson, who composed some pretty ine legal documents in his time. Unfortunately, you won’t ind the legislative intent of each amendment on the ballot. What is the intent of Amendment 3? Tennessee has never had a state income tax. It already has the nation’s highest sales tax rate, which burdens the lower incomes more than higher incomes. Only legislators can establish taxes. Ours are phasing out inheritance, estate and gift taxes, and they have plans to eliminate the tax on dividends and interest So why does our Legislature, dominated by conservative Republicans, want to ensure “that a

liberal judge cannot ever allow a state income tax”? Kelsey and other supporters say a state income tax ban will keep overall taxes lower and lure new companies and jobs. They say it will make the state’s tax system more competitive and government more iscally responsible. Opponents say a state income tax will only keep taxes lower for wealthier people who make more money, and it will force future legislators to cut services or to raise sales

Amendment 1: If you want to let state legislators limit/ restrict abortion rights for all women, no matter the circumstances, vote Yes. If not, vote No. Amendment 2: If you want to let state legislators accept or reject the governor’s judicial nominees, vote Yes. If not, vote No. Amendment 3: If you never want to have a state income tax, no matter how that might efect your sales or property taxes, vote Yes. If not, vote No. Amendment 4: If you want to let veterans organizations use bingo games or other forms of “lottery” gambling to raise money, vote Yes. If not, vote No. -- Compiled by David Waters

and property taxes even higher. They say its iscally irresponsible and will make the state’s tax system more regressive. As I said, it’s complicated. After much study, and with the help of readers, I’ve written Twitter versions of each amendment — plain English versions of each one in 140 charac-

ters or less. Making sense of how the proposed constitutional amendments are worded and the actual behind-the-scenes intent of each is quite another. “Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction,” the Doorknob says in “Alice in Wonderland.” Easier read than done.

or years, ArtsMemphis has held a big party to celebrate the artists and patrons who work to make the city a livelier, prettier and more interesting place. In 2012, president and CEO Susan Schadt realized a large and important segment of that creative class hadn’t been recognized, and instead of one big party, she created the ArtsMemphis Artafactor Culinary Series. It was a great success, small dinners prepared by prestigious chefs in private homes where local arts groups provided entertainment ranging from music to dance to improvisation. For 2013, Schadt upped the game, added public venues for the parties and did two things: First, she made chef Kelly English the culinary chairman. “And the next thing you know, we had 34 chefs involved,” she said. “We said let’s ask the chefs what they want to do.” Second, she decided to document all of it and publish it as a cookbook, companion in spirit if not in content to her 2010 “Wild Abundance,” a book about cooking in hunting clubs in the region. “So we had all the dinners last year, took all the photos, and now we have the book,” she said. “Memphis: Sweet, Spicy and a Little Greasy” (Wild Abundance Publishing; $45) released Sunday. It’s a big cofee table book, beautifully photographed by Lisa Buser, who captured not just the food, but also the people who made it all happen.

CATFISH BENEDICT WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE Makes 4 servings. INGREDIENTS

Hollandaise sauce: 2 sticks unsalted butter 3 smoked and dried Marconi peppers or smoked and dried sweet pepper of your choice — water 3 egg yolks ¼ cup lemon juice — dash of cayenne — pinch of salt, to taste Poached eggs: — water, to ill pot ½ cup white vinegar 4 eggs Also: 4 toasted English muins 4 slices tomato 4 smoked catish illets (see note)

Local publisher’s latest cookbook chronicles ArtsMemphis culinary series through recipes, people who made it all happen

Chefs Kelly English, Patrick Reilly and Jason Severs share drinks and laughs at Earnestine & Hazel’s.

“Every chapter has an arts group, stylists, chefs, purveyors, food distributors,” Schadt said. “This was all a big coming-together of the community, people saying, ‘We want to do this for the arts.’” Schadt will step down from ArtsMemphis at the end of the year to run Wild Abundance Publishing (there are other books already underway), and chief operating oicer Elizabeth Rouse will assume her role. “I really wanted to work with them, but we need to make sure, as chefs, that we’re working with

2 To poach eggs: Fill a large saucepan ¾ full with water and add white vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. While gently stirring water, add 4 eggs, one at a time, and continue to gently stir for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and immediately assemble recipe. 3 To assemble: Place English muin on a plate. Top with a tomato slice, ish illet to it muin and a poached egg; pour hollandaise sauce over top. Note: You can smoke the catish, blacken it, bake it or even fry it. Source: Mac Edwards

CHILLED SHRIMP BRUSCHETTA WITH LOCAL HEIRLOOM TOMATOES INSALATA AND LOCAL ARUGULA PESTO Makes about 24 appetizers.

DIRECTIONS

INGREDIENTS

1 To prepare hollandaise: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. In a separate saucepan, cook peppers with water to cover over low heat until rehydrated, adding water as necessary. Once peppers are rehydrated, drain and purée them in a food processor. Set aside. Put egg yolks in the top bowl of a double boiler over low heat. Add lemon juice to egg yolks. Stir constantly until eggs start to cook, turning pale and thickening. Once eggs turn pale, slowly ladle melted butter while stirring eggs vigorously. Add cayenne and salt to taste. Add half of rehydrated peppers, or to taste.

¼ pound small to medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 3-4 local heirloom tomatoes (use 3 to 4 diferent varieties) — extra-virgin olive oil — kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper — fresh basil ½ pound local arugula 1 anchovy illet 1 clove garlic, minced 1 loaf of nice, crusty bread of your choice — aged balsamic vinegar

people to raise money and not just bearing the costs ourselves,” English said. “So I worked with them, we got food costs in line, and they really took a leadership role in shaping how fundraising events can and should be done.” And while it’s a visual feast, as even the most casual of these parties were pretty elaborately staged, the heart of the book is the food, the recipes provided by the chefs who prepared the dinners. The irst party, “Be Nice or Leave,” was held at the home of Lucia and Ricky Heros. Their Chickasaw Gardens home was styled to resemble one in New Orleans’ Garden District (the couple met while students at Tulane), and the meal was prepared by Mac Edwards and Anthony, John and Gail Uglesich. The Uglesich family owned the restaurant of the same name in New Orleans for decades (Anthony ran it for 50 years). After Hurricane Katrina, the family came to Memphis. Mike and Beni Dragutsky hosted a wine dinner at their home that featured nine of his Cornerstone and Stepping Stone wines (he owns the winery with other local partners). A casual food truck party was held in a cove; Funkylux was held at Stax. There were 12 events, including one that lasted a weekend at Foxield, the east Shelby County country estate of William and Tommie Dunavant. Chefs Rick Farmer and Miles McMath of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Lee Richardson of Packet House Grill in Little Rock and Kevin Shockency of the Memphis Hunt and Polo Club built and tended a bonire for 48 hours; everything that was served, from the cocktail reception Friday night to the intimate dinner Saturday night to the Sunday brunch, was prepared over the ire. It all ended with “Watch Yo Hed,” a party at Earnestine & Hazel’s where English, Patrick Reilly of The Majestic Grille and Jason Severs of Bari prepared a “high-low” dinner that featured lowbrow food such as Soul Burgers served on silver platters, Stand Up Punch (don’t sit down because you won’t be able to stand up), and was styled in homage to the club’s early days as a brothel.

DIRECTIONS

1 Add shrimp to a pot of boiling water and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or to your desired degree of doneness. Shock shrimp after cooking by draining and placing them in an ice bath. When cool, drain and chill. Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for about 15 seconds; drain and immediately put in an ice bath. After cooled, drain and peel the skin of tomatoes. After blanching, the skin should literally peel away with your ingers. 2 After peeling, cut tomatoes in half and squeeze them gently over a receptacle, allowing the seeds and membrane inside to fall away. Using a cutting board, dice tomatoes into small ¼ inch pieces. Place in a small bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle a little kosher salt, black pepper. Tear or julienne the fresh basil and add to taste. Set aside. 3 In the bowl of a food processor, place arugula, anchovy, and garlic; blend until resembles a very dry paste. With the processor running, slowly add olive oil until it comes together in a light emulsion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Slice bread into 1/2-inch slices and cut into small rounds, squares or triangles. Place bread under the broiler until it is nicely toasted. 4 Place chilled shrimp on their sides and make a complete cut lengthwise, making two complete pieces of each shrimp. Spread a small amount of pesto on each toast slice. Place one piece of your chilled shrimp, cut side down, on each piece of toast. Place a small amount of tomato salad on top of each shrimp. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar on top of each piece and serve immediately. Source: Jason Severs

STAND UP PUNCH Serves approximately 20 people. INGREDIENTS

6-8 cups water 2 cups strongly brewed tea (2 cups boiling water brewed with 1 family-size or 4 regular tea bags, steeped until cool) 2-3 cups bourbon (preferably sweeter bourbon; does not have to be expensive) 1 cup sugar 1 (6 ounce) container frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 1 (6 ounce) container frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed 2 liters ginger ale — garnish: mint sprig or lemon slices (optional) DIRECTIONS

1 Combine water, tea, bourbon, sugar, orange juice and lemonade concentrate and ginger ale in large pot on low heat; mix until sugar dissolves. Let mixture cool until able to handle safely. 2 Carefully ladle or pour warm punch into gallonsize freezer bags. Freeze for at least 36-48 hours. (This is important in order preserve its consistency when served.) 3 When time to serve, place the frozen punch from the individual bags together in a large punch bowl and let thaw, breaking up every 15 minutes. As punch melts, add some ginger ale if desired and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and/ or lemon slices. Source: Brad Pitts

FULL OF

FRIGHT Attractions, including Halloween Horror Nights, bring even more scares By Beth J. Harpaz Associated Press

NEW YORK — Halloween seems to be getting scarier, with attractions going ever-more interactive and in-your-face. At Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, Calif., guests are outitted with neon-green laser guns and ordered to shoot actors portraying zombies by aiming at their heads. At the Dent Schoolhouse in Cincinnati, a butcher appears to demonstrate how to slaughter a pig. At The Basement, part of the ScareHouse near Pittsburgh, hoods are placed over visitors’ faces. “We put a hood over the customer and it’s remarkable how much a diference that makes,” said Scott Simmons, ScareHouse creative director. “You’re taking away sight, a core thing, and it’s such a nerve-wracking experience. You see these terrible, horrifying demons and clowns, and they put a hood on you, and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. You feel terrible things touching you and whispering in your ear. But as extreme as it is, it’s still fun. People come out shaking, but they’re smiling.”

Visitors to The Basement sign a waiver and must be 18, and are given a “safe word” that they can say to stop activities if it’s too much. But why have Halloween attractions become so intense? “After 20 years of haunted houses with people stepping out and saying ‘boo,’ these days if you’re really trying to scare people you’ve got to be edgy and out of their comfort zone,” Simmons said. “What scared people in the ’70s and the ’80s isn’t what’s going to scare them now.” “There’s no doubt Halloween attractions are getting scarier and more extreme,” said Larry Kirchner of HauntWorld.com, a website devoted to haunted attractions. With hightech special efects, including video, animation and Hollywood-quality sets, “they are more sophisticated. They have gone to another level.” On 3E are a few Halloween events and attractions taking place around the country this season, most of them ofering experiences way less intense than being hooded. Expect long lines and check schedules. Some events are weekends only, some run through early November, some sell out.

UNIVERSAL HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS The horror ilm “The Purge: Anarchy,” which is the sequel to a movie about an annual night of unfettered crime and violence, is just one of the inspirations for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal theme parks in Orlando, Fla., and in Los Angeles.

ATTRACTIONS BY REGION ■ New York City’s annual Village

FAMILY-FRIENDLY By night, attractions at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, Ga., include ZX-1, a haunted zone where a “deadly infection” is “wiping out mankind” (as if real-world Ebola isn’t scary enough). But by day the park ofers family activities like a corn maze, harvest festival, pumpkin painting and spooky stories, with children 12 and under invited to dress up for a costume contest. Elsewhere for kids, SeaWorld San Diego has a Halloween-themed sea lion and otter show called “Clyde & Seamore’s Spooky Adventure.” And of course, Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida ofers Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and trick-or-treating.

Community MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

Ex-SEAL shares stories of raid against bin Laden By Thomas Bailey Jr. baileytom@yourappeal.com 901-529-2388

Former Navy SEAL Don Mann regaled 400 business people last Thursday with incredible tales of the physical and mental perseverance required to be in the special forces organization. Perhaps nothing he said packed more wallop than a mid-speech statement delivered matter-of-factly. “Just recently I had dinner and drinks with the person who killed bin Laden,’’ Mann told the Lipscomb & Pitts Breakfast Club. “It was very interesting, his perspective.’’ Much about the mission remains secret. But Mann shared some details. His theme was encouraging his audience to expose themselves to the ful-

illment that comes with pushing beyond selfp e rceive d limits. Over his lifetime, Don the IronMann man triathlete has run more than 75,000 miles and biked more than 325,000 miles, said Mark Yerger, vice president of aircraft engineering and technical planning for FedEx. The author of “Inside SEAL Team Six: My Life and Missions with America’s Elite Warriors” had nothing directly to do with the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, but he did train SEALs who participated. “What they told me when they got back from this raid ..., they said training was never that easy,”

Mann said. “Shooting those people — shooting those terrorists I should say, I don’t want to call them people — is like shooting paper targets. No resistance at all. They just gave up.” Quietly ascending the stairs to bin Laden’s thirdstory bedroom, the point man was able to call out the name of a male bin Laden relative because the SEAL had studied what each family member looked like. When the relative heard his name and stuck his head out from a corner, the SEAL shot and killed him, Mann said. “And then the raid went on. Boom, they had to rush up the stairs. The two of them, the point man and the shooter, were in the room, first going right and left. And there were three women here who

put on suicide vests when attacked and they blow themselves up. The point man knew he was going to die when he jumped on them and he was just waiting to be blown up. “And he jumped on them to protect them from being hurt because they weren’t threats — they weren’t holding a weapon — and to protect his teammates from being blown up ...,’’ Mann said. “The shooter went up, turned left, and he said,

‘There’s a very, very scared bin Laden right there. Boom, boom, boom ... down he goes. With the bin Laden raid and other successes, the SEAL team community was on “an all-time high, they could do no wrong,” Mann said. But just three months later disaster struck when the Taliban shot down a CH-47 Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan. The 38 killed included 17 members of SEAL Team Six.

“All these great successes and then boom, we lost a fourth of our ighters. ... The worst day in SEAL Team history,” Mann said. “And I went back to the reunion right after that and I was very, very curious about what the guys were going to be like. “Man for man, hand on the Bible, I swear to God on this, every single person we spoke to couldn’t wait to get back in the ight because the mission was not inished.”

Recently, I spoke to members of the newlyformed Memphis Chapter of the American Marketing Association, which focuses on bringing together professionals in the ield of marketing for career development, networking, and continuing education. At the conclusion of the presentation, a director of marketing for a local business, who was trying to schedule nonproit tours and having diiculty getting buy-in from her team posed the question: “How do I get them to participate?” Many of us work for

fast-paced, sales-driven organizations where it can be tough to draw busy professionJeremy C. als out of Park the office to see the good taking place in our city, be inspired and ignite engagement, even at a basic level. Two things can be helpful to increase participation. First, schedule volunteer opportunities or nonproit tours at the beginning of the day, like 8:30-10 a.m., around lunch, or toward the end of the day, from 3:30-5 p.m. Allot 30

minutes for drive time and an hour for the tour or effort. So, allow your team to leave at 3:30 p.m. and meet for after school tutoring from 4-5 p.m. When it comes to tracking time away from the oice, allow the employees to modify their work schedules and make up the time or grant it as a part of your give back eforts. Next, when scheduling your tour or volunteer day, reach out ahead of time and ask the nonproit’s executive director to attend and say a few words. Also, ask them to invite some of their board and use your event as a chance to have other potential donors participate.

Community IN MEMORIAM

Best part of Bramlett’s story is how he changed for better

‘Bull’ Bramlett lived bold life on, of ield By Phil Stukenborg stukenborg@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2543

When John “Bull” Bramlett was running track at Humes High School in the late 1950s, those keeping pace in the adjacent lanes had to be aware of him every step to the inish line. “If you were running next to him, you’d better be running with your arms up high,” said former South Side sprinter and later football teammate Billy Fletcher. “If you didn’t, he’d hit you with an elbow.” The ierce passion with which Bramlett competed — whether in high school track, college football and baseball at Memphis State, pro baseball or pro football — was the same passion he brought to every aspect of his life. Bramlett, a former Memphis State and pro football star who later dedicated himself to the ministry, died last Thursday after a lengthy illness. He was 73. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and his sons, Andy and Don, and four grandchildren. Andy and Don were members of the Tiger football team in the early 1980s. “It is a remarkable story he lived,” Andy said. “I think people appreciated the boldness with which he lived both on and of the ield. He was a man’s man.” A native Memphian, Bramlett was runner-up to Joe Namath for American Football League rookie of the year in 1965 shortly after ending a pro baseball career in the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm system. He excelled at linebacker for thenMemphis State in the early 1960s, when the Tigers, under legendary coach Billy “Spook” Murphy, established themselves as a hard-nosed program. As a senior in 1962, Bramlett was part of a defense that shut down Mississippi State in a 28-7 victory, the Tigers’ irst over a Southeastern Conference opponent. Bramlett had a reputation for wildness and trouble. He was nicknamed the “Meanest Man in Football” a few years after being kicked out of pro baseball for seriously injuring a man in a bar ight in Homestead, Fla. Bramlett later changed his life when he became a Christian in 1973.

John ‘Bull’ Bramlett, a former college and pro football star and evangelist, died Thursday.

“He was sincere about turning his life around,” said Fletcher, a former Tiger football quarterback who was a teammate of Bramlett’s with the AFL’s Denver Broncos in 1965. “Before that, somehow trouble would always ind him. And if it couldn’t, he’d go ind trouble.” Roger French, who served as defensive coordinator for the Tigers in the early 1960s, said, “I know he had some issues, but he turned them over to God and went in the right direction.” French, 80, an assistant coach for a Minneapolis-area prep football power, added, “He did everything I ever asked him to do. He was a better person than he was made out to be, but he was tough. I’ll say that.” Bramlett was a two-time All-Pro linebacker and his career included stops in Denver, Boston, Miami and Atlanta. He played from 1965 to 1971. After football, he became a Christian evangelist and spent 40 years speaking to groups at churches, prisons, schools and conventions. His autobiography, “Taming the Bull: The John Bramlett Story,” was made into a documentary of the same name and released a year ago. Larry Coley, the Memphis-area director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, said he has seen the documentary eight times since its release. Bramlett was inducted into the FCA’s Hall of Champions in 2006. The FCA Hall honors those who have demonstrated a commitment to Jesus Christ through the ministry of FCA. The University of Memphis oicially retired Bramlett’s No. 64 jersey — one of six the program has retired.

Congratulations!

Stories. Has any Memphis athlete ever inspired more stories than John Bramlett? It happened again last Thursday when news spread that the legendary former Memphis State Tiger had passed away at age 73. “I was at old Crump Stadium,” wrote a commenter on this paper’s website. “I think the year was 1961 or 1962. Anyway, the Tigers were playing the University of Detroit (yes, they played football then). I was standing on the sideline when the Tigers punted and the Detroit player called for a fair catch. Bramlett went right through the fair catch and hit that guy full speed right in the mouth. When they brought him of the ield the guy’s face was rearranged, blood and teeth were everywhere. Bramlett was tossed from the game and a ight broke out.” Or there was this one, from another commenter. About a local softball game. “John was on second, a line drive was hit through to the outield and John was trying to score from second base. Our catcher, who was about the same size as John, blocked the plate as he took the relay from short, the Bull coming full speed ahead, the irresistible force slamming into the immovable object. Both if I remember correctly were unconscious for a few seconds. The call was out but the ground seemed to shake at the collision. I am now 70 years old and I have never forgotten that moment.” The stories were recounted on message boards and on radio shows, and wherever Memphis

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

fans heard the news. Some athletes are remembered by stats in their obituaries. A rare few are remembered by tales. Like the time Bramlett earned three straight personal foul calls against Ole Miss, trying to knock quarterback Jake Gibbs from the game. Like the time he knocked out his teammate, Harry Shuh, because Shuh cut in line to get a bar of soap. “I used to hear the stories, and I’d come home and ask him about them,” said Andy Bramlett, one of John’s sons. “I’d say, ‘Did that really happen?’ And he’d almost always say, ‘I’m afraid that it did.’ ” Bramlett grew up with Elvis. He starred at baseball and football at Memphis State. When he was run out of professional baseball for too much carousing, he switched to professional football and promptly finished second to Joe Namath as AFL Rookie of the Year. It all seems unfathomable, doesn’t it? It sounds more like a fable than an actual life. And yet the most outlandish Bramlett story is what happened after all these stories. “He changed,” said Nancy Bramlett, his wife. “It was like night and day.” The wildest Memphis athlete of all time became one of the most devout. A man who had dedicated himself to ights and booze and women dedicat-

ed himself to spreading the Word. Bramlett spoke in prisons and he spoke to NFL teams. He spoke anywhere he would be heard. He spoke to Deion Sanders and to Charles Manson. He spoke at the Union Mission all the time. “He developed an incredible tenderness for people,” said Andy Bramlett. “He did a lot of bad, but he did a lot more good.” Indeed, it is this good that enables us to fully celebrate all those stories that came before it. Otherwise, what would have been the point? To a celebrate a man of meanness and violence? The world has no shortage of those. No, those earlier stories are important precisely because they are part of a broader and ininitely more important story. That story is about how a man can change. In the last days, the Bramlett family gathered at a hospice. Someone popped in a tape of the 1960 Ole Miss-Memphis game. That’s the game in which Bramlett was lagged on three consecutive snaps. The blackand-white video shows this 165-pound linebacker lying across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped and hurling the quarterback to the ground. It is astonishing, in its violence. When Andy Bramlett saw it again, he couldn’t help but laugh. “That was Bull,” he said. “He was truly an original. But what he wanted you to know is that there is hope, there is hope for everyone.” To reach Geof Calkins call 901529-2364, or e-mail calkins @ commercialappeal.com.

By Erinn Figg Special to The Commercial Appeal

During a time when news headlines paint perilous pictures of war-torn areas around the globe, the Memphis-based International Children’s Heart Foundation remains committed to its mission of saving children’s lives — regardless of where they’re located. Founded in 1993 by pediatric cardiovascular surgeon Dr. William Novick, ICHF is a nonproit organization that coordinates medical missions to provide cardiac care to children in under-resourced and conlict-ridden regions throughout the world. While the United States and other developed countries have hundreds of medical centers with trained specialists to care for children with heart disease, the ones in developing nations aren’t as fortunate. That’s where ICHF steps in. During its 20-year history, the foundation has grown into a multifaceted organization that has so far delivered lifesaving surgical care to more than 7,000 children in more than 30 countries, including Ukraine, Russia, Iraq, Ecuador and Peru to name just a few. ICHF Executive Director Terry Carter emphasizes that it takes a village, so to speak, to accomplish such a weighty task. “While we currently employ a small staf of medical professionals stationed around the world and supported by our administrative team here in Memphis, our medical missions wouldn’t be possible without the help of countless medical volunteers in various countries, along with the contributions from individual donors, corporate partners and organizational sponsors,”

Amid worldwide turmoil, foundation persists in mission to heal hearts on global scale

Cardiologist James Penk, a volunteer with Memphis-based International Children’s Heart Foundation, spends some quality time with a patient in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Carter said. “Without their continual support, ICHF simply could not operate.” A significant number of those corporate partners, listed on the foundation’s website at babyheart.org, are located here in Memphis — among

them are Medtronic, FedEx, St. Jude Medical, Alert Terminal Warehouse, Madison Pharmacy and Methodist Outpatient Pharmacy — and supply the foundation with crucial resources such as logistics and shipping assistance, med-

ical supplies, pharmaceuticals and inancial support. Bret Rodriguez, president of ICHF’s board of directors, says the collaboration of the foundation’s staf, volunteers and supporters illustrates the powerful impact people can make when they join forces to accomplish a common goal. “ICHF is a perfect example of a number of essential moving parts coming together to create a lifesaving operation on a global scale. And we’re not just saving the lives of individuals during our medical missions — we’re saving the lives of the generations and generations that will follow them,” Rodriguez said. “Every donation we receive, no matter the amount, plays a key role in these stories.” In addition to performing the actual surgeries, the ICHF medical teams educate local health care professionals on how to conduct the operations themselves, administer perioperative care for the patients and utilize new cardiac medicines and diagnostic equipment. As for the foundation’s operations in areas of conlict, while ICHF has conducted missions in Iraq and Ukraine this year, the foundation keeps a watchful eye on emerging international developments and plans its missions accordingly. “The safety of our staf is of the utmost importance to us,” Carter said. “We join people around the globe in their hopes and prayers that these conlicts will be resolved and these areas will soon be safer places for children, particularly those with urgent medical needs.” Erinn Figg is a freelance journalist and the communications director for the International Children’s Heart Foundation.

NUTRITION

Put on your superhero suit, fight villainous diet mentality By Blair Mize Special to The Commercial Appeal

What makes a hero? A hero could be someone who saves lives or protects society from evil like Superman, but a hero could also take the form of the person you strive to be. Either way, a hero is someone who departs from society’s norms to accomplish a greater goal. We live in a fast-paced world where diets have become the norm, and the focus has shifted to numbers (weight, BMI, caloriecounting, etc.) and appearance rather than overall

health. We are accustomed to o bt a i n i n g answers to questions in a single G oog le Blair search or a Mize click on the Internet. In many ways, our society prefers simple answers and fast results. Our society takes great interest in food and nutrition; however, nutrition misinformation abounds and serves as a villain, furthering the destructive diet mentality. Most

Good Health Memphis

nutrition-related messages come from the media, friends and family, but how often do they come from registered dietitians? Furthermore, how many nutrition messages come from nutrition experts who reject diets and instead advocate a real food, non-diet approach? What would life look like if we became our own heroes, ighting the villains who promote the dangerous diet mentality? What if we moved away from focusing on numbers as measures of success and instead focused on health, self-care, and fueling well?

Sharaze Colley, Schilling Nutrition Therapy client and blogger at “Passing Pinwheels” writes about her experiences in moving toward health and diet freedom. She states, “I haven’t had to count calories or drastically change my diet. I don’t stress. There’s almost no real limits to what I am ‘allowed’ to eat. It’s nice. And freeing.” Rejecting diet industry villains does not have to be complicated. In fact, diets usually end up being more complicated than a real food, non-diet approach. Though this approach often takes longer and requires

perseverance, it ultimately leads to a lifetime of better health, stronger metabolism, and peace with food. Colley states, “And that’s the amazing thing. I’m eating more. I’m not starving all the time. Fad dieting tells me the opposite should be happening, that the answer is always ‘eat less, exercise more.’ But that’s not always the case ... I’m starting to think it generally isn’t that simple … something I know, but hard to actually live by because of all the messages I get all the time about food being the enemy.”

During the process of rejecting the diet mentality, remember, even Superman had his kryptonite.

Women’s group donates $24,500 to Memphis Business Academy By Jennifer Brezina Special to The Weekly

Members of Germantown United Methodist Women’s Joy Circle recently presented a $24,500 check to Memphis Business Academy, a Memphis charter school in Frayser. The money was raised through the annual Golfing with JOY golf scramble at Spring Creek Ranch in Collierville on Aug. 25. “We want to thank all of our sponsors and donors, and of course the 104 golfers who joined us in sup-

porting Memphis Business Academy in August,” said Joy Circle chairwoman Anna Graunke. “Memphis Business Academy is making a difference in the lives of so many in the Frayser community, and we are blessed to be able to play a small role in bringing hope and encouragement to these kids.” The Joy Circle also partners with Memphis Business Academy in other ways, such as providing a cupcake for every student celebrating

a birthday, treat bags for students who make honor roll, tutoring for elementary students, and prayer cards for teachers. Most recently, Joy members held an instrument drive for students placed on a waiting list to join the school band because they couldn’t afford musical instruments. Instruments have been passed along to some very excited young students who can now join the band. Jennifer Brezina is with Germantown United Methodist Church.
