CAMP SMILE

HAPPY CAMPERS Camp for those with special needs brings big grins to people and dogs

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

In its 19 years, Camp Smile has provided a great deal of fun for those who have attended.

Magic shows, cooking demonstrations, face painting, a trip to a local spray park and a chance to stand in the basket of a hot-air balloon are just some of the experiences those attending have had over the years.

This year, the two-weeklong camp for those with special needs had everything you would want to have a great time.

On July 16, the camp had a special visitor. Ranger, a therapy dog showed up with his handler, San Chambers, and when Ranger walked through the door, there was little doubt how the camp got its name.

With four staf members and 10 volunteers to meet the needs of the 25 campers, every moment of the camp is well planned and well executed. The driving force of the camp is director Michelle Kelley, who is an assistant in the special education department at

Collierville High School.

Kelley’s positive attitude is present in both the planning and the execution of the day to day operations.

“I love working at Camp Smile,” Kelley said. “The kids are amazing and the daily life lessons I learn from them are as priceless as anything we teach them. We teach them that life really is simple and you do what you can do every day INSIDE and to smile when you are happy.

Our Smile. 5 staf and volunteers work very hard to provide daily themes and crafts with special guests that makes the camping experience a day of good old fashion fun.”

The camp also was a family afair for Kelley. Her sister and her three nieces volunteered to help make Camp Smile a success.

“We are already working on the 2016 version of Camp Smile,” Kelley said.

Peace Tree United Methodist Church will host its irst community event Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m., at Suggs Park. Field Day will be a chance to gather for fellowship, food and an opportunity to learn what this new church has to ofer.

Peace Tree is a unique church seeking to reach people who are unable to worship on Sunday mornings or who have questions about Christianity. As the world moves at an increasingly fast pace, many people must now work on Sundays or travel on weekends. Others have even lost interest in traditional forms of church. Peace Tree seeks to focus on small “house groups” that commit to eat meals, worship God, and study the Bible. The groups will meet diferent days of the week in nontraditional settings such as restaurants, homes and parks.

The Rev. Kristofer Roof is the lead pastor of Peace Tree UMC. He most recently served as the associate pastor at Collierville UMC. “Peace Tree is a new kind of church that is intentional about reaching people where they are,” Roof said. “Is your only free time on Thursday nights? We’ll have a house group meeting then. Are you intimidated by large groups and large buildings? Each group will be small enough to it around the dining room table or sit around a living room.”

Program will aford Memphians Web access ConnectHome ofers high speed Internet

By Michael Collins michael.collins@jmg.com 202-408-2711

WASHINGTON — More than 5,500 low-income residents in Memphis will gain access to highspeed Internet service under a new White House program that seeks to expand broadband service to thousands of public housing residents across the country.

Memphis is one of 28 communities nationwide chosen to

participate in the ConnectHome pilot program. The initiative will bring together the public, private and nonproit sectors to make high-speed Internet available to more families.

“We all know the transformative efect technology has had on the American economy,” said Jef Zients, director of the White House National Economic Council.

A new analysis by the White House Council of Economic Advisers illustrates how wide the digital divide remains in many areas. Nearly two-thirds of households with the lowest incomes own a computer, yet

fewer than half have a home Internet subscription.

Fewer than half of the nation’s poorest households have an Internet subscription, yet most college applications must be iled online and many job openings are posted online, said Julián Castro, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The ConnectHome program will pull together partners that include Best Buy, Sprint and the Public Broadcasting Service to bring high-speed broadband service to 275,000 low-income households — and nearly 200,000 children — across the

country. In some areas, the Internet service will be free or cost as little as $9.95 a month.

Partners and stakeholders will convene over the next month to plan how the program will be carried out in various cities, said Reba Watkins, national partnerships and development manager of EveryoneOn, a nonproit that is collaborating with HUD on the program.

More details about speciic offers in Memphis will be available then, Watkins said.

Participating partners in Memphis are the American Library Association, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, ABC-

mouse, the Public Broadcasting Service, The College Board and GitHub. The program is projected to reach 2,842 Memphis households.

Studies show Memphis lags the nation on Internet connectivity. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, just 67.7 percent of households in Memphis had some type of Internet service in 2013, compared to 79 percent nationwide.

A study published last November by Governing magazine put Memphis near the bottom of large cities in terms of Internet adoption rates. Memphis ranked 273 out of 296 cities.

Wolf River Blvd. road work to begin

Beginning Wednesday night, pavement milling operations will begin on Wolf River Boulevard between Germantown Road and Kimbrough Road.

The milling work is in preparation for much needed major reconstruction and repaving work along this segment of Wolf River.

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of September. Delays are to be expected during this time.

Driveway access will be maintained throughout the construction period, however, short term reroutes and/or closures may be necessary.

Amy and Billy Patton are the owners of Patton Computers. The store already doubles as a post oice, but Billy, a Collierville alderman, is seeking permission from the planning commission to expand the building to include a pharmacy — Amy is a pharmacist.

Retail triple threat Patton Enterprises computer store, post oice could soon add pharmacy

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

Visitors to Patton Computers in Collierville can already kill two birds with one stone by mailing packages at the express post oice inside the electronics store.

That soon will become three birds, as Patton Enterprises prepares to add a third venture — a pharmacy — under the same roof.

It may not seem like a logical pairing, but for owners Billy and Amy Patton, it’s a joining of their two areas of expertise.

The couple has owned Patton Computers since 2002 — Billy, a town alderman, has a degree in computer science. But Amy Patton has continued to work for Baptist Healthcare as a pharmacist. The new business plan will allow them each to own businesses while working side by side.

“We like working with each other, so it’s a family-oriented thing,” Amy Patton said. Their two children work in the store two days a week during the summer.

Last week, the Collierville

Planning Commission approved their renovation of the building at 264 Market Blvd. in the Poplar Market Plaza shopping center to be able to include a pharmacy. The plan will go to the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen July 27. They’ve already started relocating merchandise from the corner of the store next to the post oice, where the pharmacy will take up about 2,000 of the 11,000 square feet in the building.

The post oice will have to move slightly, Billy Patton said, and an existing drive-through window—which he said they had installed during initial construction to one day accommodate a pharmacy—will serve both mail and pharmaceutical needs. Construction will add an additional drive-through lane with a tubular system for transferring small amounts of mail and medications.

Patton said the post oice addition alone has brought in additional customers who may not have been familiar with their computer store.

“Sometimes they start looking at laptops and start talking to us about computer repair,” he said of the post oice customers.

When Patton Computers, at 264 Market Blvd. in Collierville, was built the couple put in a drive-through with the intention of one day turning it into a combination pharmacy/computer store.

Patton said his wife’s two brothers are also pharmacists who each own independent express pharmacies, and they are going to mimic that business model. The model: “Getting people in and out as fast as possible,” he said.

An express pharmacy, he said, is focused on prescriptions rather than over-the-counter medications, and the goal is to ill prescriptions in less than 30 minutes.

Patton said they hope to open the pharmacy in October or November. The additional building work, he said, was part

In conjunction with Memphis’ annual conference of the United Methodist Churches, Collierville UMC is serving as a strategic partner and will be supporting Peace Tree UMC as its mother church for the initial launch years.

“Peace Tree Church is keeping fresh God’s stories of hope and faith at the center of their life together,” senior pastor of Collierville UMC, David Atkinson commented.

“Collierville United Methodist Church is honored to be the mother church

supporting founding pastor Kristofer Roof and his launch team is this awesome venture with God.” Peace Tree is one of many new churches that will be planted in the area. The United Methodist Church has a goal to plant 20 churches across middle and west Tennessee by 2020.

“We know that new churches will reach new people,” Roof shares. “We hope that inquiring minds will ind their way to our Suggs Park Field Day.” Visit peacetreeumc.org for information.

Lisa Junkins is Peace Tree volunteer.

The Wine and Unwind session at Page Robbins Adult Day Center was a big success as guests created their pieces of art using paint.

PAGE ROBBINS ADULT DAY CENTER

Caregivers learn the art of relaxation Wine and Unwind event illed with talk, laughter

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

Page Robbins Adult Day Center has built a well-deserved reputation for the services provided to people with memory loss due to dementia or Alzheimer’s for 20 years.

With a mission statement that says they intend on providing “Hope-illed and happy moments” for their clients, it sounds like that is their entire mission. It isn’t.

Staf at Page Robbins also is concerned about the well-being of the caregivers who are tasked with the challenges that often come with caring for someone experiencing memory loss.

“Providing support to our caregivers is equally important to providing care to our participants,” said executive director Herbie Kristle. “Often times caregiver need help just learning to relax by doing something for themselves. Something that is fun.”

One approach to the idea of relaxation was the center’s Wine and Unwind event.

Few, if any, of the 15 participants at the event had put a paint brush onto a canvas since grade school. Their looks of doubt quickly disappeared once Debbie Lovett

took center stage.

Lovett is the art consultant at Page Robbins, as well as a professional potter.

She explained that using art as a way to relax often means that you are creating art without rules.

Her irst instruction was for the participants to, “just breathe.” She ofered an example she had painted of a ield with blooming lowers. Lovett provided instructions on brush strokes and blending colors. But mostly she gave encouragement and answered any questions.

The materials provided were small canvases, colorful dabs of paint on a paper plate, brushes of various sizes, a sponge applicator, a small container of water and paper towels for cleanup.

Maybe it was the wine, but perhaps it was the idea of creating art in a way few of them had experienced, but the most telling part of the event were the spontaneous discussions at the tables and the sounds of laughter.

Most of the participants were strangers to each other but they had things in common. The chances that their paintings will hang in a museum are few but that wasn’t the point. They were there so they could learn to relax and unwind.

Painting on canvas was something few people in attendance had ever done. At times it seemed to be a group efort with lots of talk and laughter.

Even though Debbie Lovett’s artistic talents are deeply connected to pottery, she gave clear instructions and guided the participants through the process.

Oicials consider chipping in for houston high turf

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

The Germantown Municipal School District is considering a $125,000 contribution to the Houston High athletic ield project, which was billed as a privately funded initiative.

The money would be matching dollars for a contribution the city is intending to make toward the project. While the city did not require the school district to match its donation, Supt. Jason Manuel said he thinks it’s the right thing to do.

With individuals pledging as much as $50,000 in some cases, Manuel said, “If we’re standing out on that ield cutting the ribbon ... I’d feel like we hadn’t stepped up as much as we should to come alongside them with this project.”

But as board member Ken Hoover noted, the project was always intended to be done with private dollars. The city added a $125,000 donation to its 2015-16 budget after representatives from the Houston Arts and Athletics Foundation came to an aldermen meeting and asked if the city would like

to contribute.

The project is expected to cost $700,000 to $1 million, depending on whether add-ons such as a digital scoreboard are approved.

The school district’s portion would come from approximately $400,000 in extra funding the district recently received.

Shelby County Schools leaders asked the county for more money for general funding, and when it was granted, all of the municipal districts also got a share.

Manuel said some of Germantown’s slice of the pie should go toward pay-

ing of fees from architects who have been hired to create plans for a possible school expansion projects.

The city would take out bonds, Manuel said, but the school district would still need some funds up front for the architects before the bond money is available.

The project to install artiicial turf at the high school — on an accelerated time line due to a city drainage project that is eating away at the school’s practice ield — is scheduled for completion by Aug. 15, director of operations Josh Cathey

said.

Manuel said the project has $800,000 in commitments. But some of those commitments span 10 years, he said, and if any fell through or defaulted on payments, the school board would be on the hook for the money anyway. To give a donation now would ensure the project was covered fully.

Most board members said they agreed with Manuel, calling it an example of an efective public and private partnership.

Board member Mark Dely said he would like to see a fund set up for the

board to use year to year to put toward projects as a “kick-starter” for private fundraising. “This could be the irst usage of that fund,” Dely said.

As a result of that conversation, Manuel said $25,000 of the nearly $400,000 — in addition to the $125,000 for the turf — would be set aside to start that fund, pending the board’s approval at the Monday meeting.

Hoover pressed his point, however, that the arts and athletics foundation was created to support the school district, not the other way around.

School board approves land purchase for new high school $

IRON CHEF

pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Pending a guarantee of funding, Collierville Schools will oicially own roughly 160 acres on which to build a new high school.

The school board on July 14 voted 3-0, with Cathy Messerly absent and Kevin Vaughan recusing himself due to a conlict of interest, to buy the land at Shelby and Sycamore for just under $4 million.

According to the contract, the school district will be buying just over 158

acres at $25,000 an acre.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted on July 13 to issue up to $95 million in bonds for the new 3,000-student school, to be funded by a 25-cent property tax increase and $1.7 million in sales tax revenue each year. But residents have 20 days to protest the bond sale. If the issue were to be sent to a referendum, and that referendum failed, Collierville could get out of the land buy.

“If for some reason funding fails, the contract fails as well,” Collierville

Schools attorney Mike Marshall said.

The property is owned

by Robert Cartwright of Cartwright Nurseries.

Vaughan said he has an “extended relationship” with Cartwright and recused himself from the vote to avoid the “perception of an indirect conlict.”

Board member Wright Cox and chairman Mark Hansen both said Vaughan has kept himself out of any discussions about land once a compiled list of possible locations for the new school included Cartwright’s property.

Robinwood Retirement Community Offers All-Inclusive Living for Seniors You or your parents may have lived in the family home for years, so the conversation around moving to an Independent Living community is easy to put off. Although you/they may not be eager to approach the subject of moving to a new place, it’s important to talk about this exciting time while everyone is healthy and can be active participants. When families wait until a crisis occurs, you might have to make decisions quickly, which can result in wrong choices based on apartment availability or without time to research properly. With the right option, change can be invigorating, especially when the move is to an all-inclusive community, one with a set monthly price, without large buy-ins or longterm contracts.“ “Robinwood Retirement Community, near the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an exciting lifestyle and the freedom to appreciate what’s most important - friends and family.You’ve saved your whole life, and our residents are happy to retire without signing their life or life savings away,” said Manager Tim Morford. “If you’re looking to downsize, or if the maintenance and upkeep of your house has gotten to be too much for you or your loved one[s], an independent living apartment at Robinwood Retirement Community ills a deinite need,” he said.

“Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are spacious, beautifully-designed living spaces that include fully-equipped kitchens, luxurious private baths, washer-dryer connections, and more. Our patio homes have additional amenities including raised ceilings, a dining room area, washer/dryer included, and a two-car garage.”

Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that was once known as Robinwood Farms. Robinwood’s onsite managers and professional staff give peace and comfort to residents and their families 24 hours a day. At the push of a button, someone is available around the clock, in the event of an emergency.

“In early spring of 2013, we received a lyer announcing an Open House event at Robinwood”, said residents Joe & Jeanne Morton. “Our home, in which we had lived for 18 years, had four bedrooms (one of which we had converted into a study), and a large game room. It was located on a one-acre lot that also had a workshop, storage shed, and a large L-shaped swimming

pool. Although there were only two of us (plus two adult golden retrievers), we had not been seriously considering downsizing. However, we had become disenchanted with the work and expense of home ownership (the American dream); so we decided it was a no-brainer to attend the Open House.”

“One additional beneit of downsizing at Robinwood,” Morford continued,“is the simplicity it offers our residents without asking them to sacriice anything. One monthly payment to Robinwood, instead of paying bills to restaurants and grocery stores, to utility companies for water, electricity, cable and phone companies, to housekeepers, to home maintenance companies to landscapers, and to the government for property taxes and the like.

“Robinwood’s Freedom Dining means meals are included in the price of the monthly rent, so residents don’t pay an additional charge each time they eat. In addition, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood means that each of our three chefprepared meals is served daily within a casual time window that enables residents to eat on their own schedules. “You choose when you sit down to eat,” Morford said. “Residents also have access to our Chef’s Pantry, where residents can enjoy a delicious sandwich, snacks, drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours a day – all at no additional charge. Room service and meals to-go are also available for no extra fee.”

“The staff and management have been both friendly and accommodating in our re-settlement in the cottages”, residents Steve and Mary Ralph commented. “The loor plan of the cottage with clothes closets at entrance, a more than adequate kitchen with cabinets, the high ceilings in living room and kitchen give the appearance of a larger area with open environment. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms are an asset.” Mary said she likes the laundry room with full sized washer and dryer which is included and the added storage of the closet in the entryway. “In inal analysis we are very happy with our cottage and our decision to inish out our lives here at Robinwood.”

Amenities at Robinwood include: Live-in managers, no buy-in fees, month-to-month rent, all utilities paid, resort-style dining (three meals included daily), professionally staffed (24/7), valet parking, complimentary shuttle service.

All apartments feature full kitchens and washer/ dryer hook-ups.

Lisa Ballard, Marketing Director, emphasizes the importance of seniors and families being proactive instead of reactive. She said, “Seniors who make the decision early to be in an environment meeting their needs for safety, diet, exercise, and social connections are allowing themselves to establish a healthy foundation and wonderful quality of life for years to come.”

Coach Hrukti Maat of the Memphis Track Club is focused on helping kids from all over Memphis to realize their potential as track athletes.

Badge of honor Memphis police oicer sprints to his second job as track coach

By Omer Yusuf omer.yusuf@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2303

A

fter working the eight-hour morning shift, Memphis police oicer Hrukti Maat goes to his second job, where his favorite getaway spot — the track — awaits.

Maat, 52, is the coach of the Memphis Mustangs, an AAU track club that has recently produced three All-Americans: Harrison Williams (Stanford), Erica Bougard (Mississippi State) and his son, Molei Maat (Illinois). Hrukti Maat has coached the Mustangs since the club’s formation in 2003 and currently coaches about 50 track athletes. “I ind track and ield helps me get away from some of the issues that you deal with day to day, like crime,� said Maat, who has been a Memphis police oicer since 1993. “It’s somewhat a safe haven. It helps to not bring work of duty.�

If Maat had it his way, he would’ve never started coaching. Maat said he wanted his sons, Ojike and Molei, to join the Memphis Panthers, a former

So Glad To Have My Coupons!

AAU track club, because he thought track would keep them in better shape when football season came around.

However, Hrukti Maat’s track and ield background (he ran in high school and college) led the other athletes’ parents to push Maat to coach the team, and in 2001 Maat gave in and began coaching the Panthers.

The Panthers dissolved in 2003, but the foundation of the Mustangs’ success was built. Maat’s trip to the junior nationals in 2001 opened his eyes. “I knew I had to step up to another level, because this was a national competition,� Maat said. “I researched the winning times in all the diferent categories from age groups 8-18. From there I planned to address the issue of how to get there. I changed the workouts through research and studying diferent coaching philosophies.�

One athlete who didn’t buy into Maat’s coaching at irst was former Memphis University School star and current Stanford standout Harrison Williams. Williams, who had not run track before his freshman year of high school, joined the Mustangs after MUS track coach Bobby Alston advised him to join the club that summer to further his development.

In addition to adjusting to Maat’s lack of positive reinforcement, and Maat’s stern, serious face at practice.

Williams said the coaching drills were strange to him at irst because Maat put a lot of emphasis on the form of running, while Williams thought you just ran as fast as you could. Once Williams grasped Maat’s coaching methods, he said it motivated him and the other athletes to just get a “good job� out of him.

Maat acknowledges he’s harder on the multi-eventers than his other athletes, because they have to be mentally tough. Things may not go well in one event, but you have to focus on the big picture.

Nevertheless, success followed aplenty for Williams, most notably in the decathlon.

He won ive Division II state titles at MUS in 2013 and 2014 and the 2014 U.S. junior nationals.

Williams also broke the high school record at the 2014 world juniors, scoring 7,760 points. “He’s always on top of you to make sure you’re doing everything right,�

Williams said. “Once I bought in, my sprinting went through the roof.�

Now, Maat said Williams is one of a few former Mustangs touted to be a future Olympian. “I always said if we could get one person from this club to be an Olympian, that would be a great feat,� Maat

said. “Now it looks as if we have an opportunity for three, four or even ive.�

Because he’s an AAU coach and not a high-school coach, Maat has no restrictions on when his athletes can practice. The Mustangs practice 10 months a year, three to ive times a week and two hours per session.

Whitehaven girls track coach Yusuf Sharif said track clubs are beneicial because they keep the athletes in shape in the summer. “The kids that do club track get more experience and are more prepared for the school season,� Sharif said. “The Mustangs are a really good program. A lot of the kids there compete at a high level. It’s always good for kids to be around other kids who are competitive. �

Molei Maat, 19, has aspirations to coach track after his career because of his father. Hrukti Maat praised his son’s knowledge of track and ield in addition to his passion for the sport.

Both father and son agreed their 12-year relationship as coach/athlete was a great experience because they established the diference between the father/son and the coach/athlete relationships. “I knew he knew what he was doing, so I never had any problem with it, because he really helped me improve as a runner,� Molei Maat said.

Local business owner Kenny D. Crenshaw, president of Herbi-Systems Inc., went on his annual trip to the nation’s capital.

This year marks 12 years of patriotic volunteerism and leadership for Crenshaw. In Washington, D.C., he serves as a “champion” or leader in the Arlington National Cemetery Renewal and Remembrance project where he supervises 300 volunteers from across the country out of 500 participants. Last year, he picked up the inaugural Workhorse Award from then-Professional Landcare Network for his longstanding commitment to the project. This year, he took several family members with him plus two of his employees, enlisting them in the tradition.

Crenshaw’s “home crew” consisted of his wife, Melissa, and their children, Michael, 20, Jenna, 17, and David, 15, as well as industrial weed control technicians and returning volunteers Phil Davis and Lee Tapley.

The 19th annual National Association of Landscape Professionals Renewal and Remembrance project involves mulching, cabling of trees, pruning, planting and aerating of more than 200 acres of the grounds in the historic cemetery. According to Crenshaw, he and his 300-member team added gypsum last year

to improve soil organic matter and water penetration, as well as increase rapid seed emergence. The Kenny D. crushed Crenshaw l i me stone pellets also are added for the purpose of raising soil pH for healthier grass, he advised. The labor of love occurs each July and is collectively valued at more than $200,000.

“I do it because it gives us a chance to give back to people who have served our country,” Crenshaw said. He also has a kinship with the project. His uncle, Ken Kruger, served in the U.S. Navy and is buried at Arlington.

In his own community, Crenshaw also is recognized for his initiative. Herbi-Systems was a top ive inalist in the 2014 Memphis Business Journal’s Small Business Awards. The company garnered two Bartlett Chamber Barty awards for customer service and marketing in 2013, and Crenshaw was the organization’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam appointed Crenshaw to the state Pest Control Board in December 2012 (serving through 2016). Crenshaw also received the Patriot Award in 2012 given by the Employers in Support of Guard and Reserve.

Food EAT THE STREET

DOWNTOWN DINING South to north, Main Street is a walkable, edible, potable treat

By Jennifer Biggs The lobster and bacon pizza at Spindini includes lobster, applewoodsmoked bacon crumbles, Roma tomatoes and mozzarella. It’s inished with fresh spinach, ricotta salata and chipotle aioli.

ain Street is home to the tallest building in town; 100 N. Main soars 430 feet and 37 stories. Our oldest craft brewery, MATA terminal, city hall, the county and federal buildings, the Orpheum theater and the most impressive fountain in town also have Main Street addresses. Horses pull carriages, folks ride bikes — including those wild bike bars they collectively pedal — and the trolleys are coming back.

also has a full bar for the irst time, deinitely since anyone living can recall, and the resident ghosts in what must be the most haunted dive in town aren’t talking. But don’t worry, you can still get a PBR to go with your Soul Burger, certainly the top burger on many a list in town and a contender on any. And while most places on this list have proper Main Street addresses, it’s hard to ignore The 5 Spot (84 G.E. Patterson; 901-523-9754), which you can enter through E&H, and which has a menu created by Restaurant Iris/The Second Line chef/owner Kelly English. The Watch Yo’ Hed sweetbreads are great; if you can’t stomach pancreas, try this: Fried chicken skin on your BLT. Not kidding.

Bluff City Coffee (505 S. Main; 901-405-4399) ofers a light lunch

menu and all the trappings of a

food in a clubby but spacious dark wood room and is one of many of the spots on Main where you might want to go for a nice drink, too. Pizza is half-price on Monday, as are all bottles of wine under $70.

South of Beale (361 S. Main; 901526-0388) might have been the

irst place in town to call itself a gastropub; certainly the food is elevated above pub grub, with duck-fried rice, fried olives and fried avocados.

Bedrock Eats & Sweets (327 S. Main; 901-409-6433) is brand-new,

just opened in the former Frank’s Deli space. Owner Brandi Marter serves primarily paleo- and primal- diet friendly foods, which just happen to taste great. Fred and Barney would have nothing to complain about on this diet, which is heavy on protein, from smoothies to protein wales.

The Green Beetle (325 S. Main; 527-7337) was opened in 1939

by Frank Liberto and today his grandson, Josh Huckaby, is in

Add these deserving items to the list: Everything else.

Jazz is always playing at Onix (412 S. Main; 901-552-4609), whether live at night or canned during the day. There are theme nights, happy hour specials and a treat for those who love chicken and waffles: Grilled chicken and

A few blocks to the north, we come upon the Arcade (540 S. Main; 901-526-5757). It’s the oldest restaurant in the city, opened at the corner of G.E. Patterson in 1919 by Greek immigrant Speros Zepatos, who in 1925 tore down a wooden shack and built the building that still stands today.

You can get your hair done, see your dentist, shop for furniture, clothes and art, take your dog to the vet, get your dog down at a yoga studio or your body hard at cross-it.

Main keep folks in provisions.

Quick sandwich, pizza and burger spots dot the road, which is full of plenty of sit-down, fullservice places to eat and drink.

There’s Lenny’s (153 S. Main); two locations of Sam’s Hamburgers & More (3 S. Main and 94 N. Main); Main St. Diner (97 N. Main); Wrapzody Gourmet Wrapz (99 N. Main); Guilt Free Pastries, a pop-up with a permanent location but odd hours at 344 S. Main. Grab a sandwich,

Café Pontotoc (314 S. Main; 901249-7955) is a sweet little place

that serves up a changing menu of mostly small plates, ranging from tacos to chicken wings to spring rolls, has a nice bar, and is just across from a ine dance club …

Pearl’s Oyster House (299 S. Main; 901-522-9070) serves Gulf

Coast seafood such as oysters (including chargrilled, if you like raw but shy away when there are no Rs in the months), boiled shrimp, fried seafood platters and Louisiana dishes such as red beans and rice and étoufée, along with steaks and so on.

MIKE BROWN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

The seafood gumbo at DeJaVu features chicken, sausage, shrimp, blue crab and fresh lump crab meat in a classic New Orleans ile roux served with rice and fresh bread.

Silly Goose Lounge (100 Peabody Place; 901-435-6915) is

another corner spot. This is a bar irst, with an extensive — huge — selection of spirits and a long cocktail list. But you can eat panini and latbread, as long as you’re already there. Or eat someplace else and settle in here for a while.

The Majestic Grille (145 S. Main; 901-522-8555) is one of the pret-

tiest places on Main, a beautifully restored theater built in 1913. Chef/owner Patrick Reilly serves a great brunch, cooks up a mean steak and makes an excellent soup of the day, whatever it is. The grilled cheese is among the best around, and the tiny dessert shooters are a perfect way to end a meal. A great bar and like all the restaurants with patios in this stretch of Main, a good place for people watching.

You can ind plenty to eat besides a burger — salads are very good (and so is the chili, though it sounds better when the temperature dips a little), but you won’t go wrong with the burger.

Community JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT

Group empowering kids for 60 years Aims to teach economic success

By Beth Okeon Special to The Weekly

Bailey Station Elementary student Cyanne Tate sketches a design for the Target Sign Shop.

This year marks Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South’s 60th anniversary of empowering children to reach their own economic success.

The nonproit organization was founded in 1955 with the goal of educating youth about inancial literacy, free enterprise, entrepreneurship and workforce readiness to secure their future and improve the quality of their lives.

Programming includes grade-speciic JA curriculum taught in K-12 classrooms in schools throughout the city; JA BizTown, a model city that fourth- through sixth-grade

students get to run for a day after preparing in class for a month; and job shadowing professionals on-site in their workplaces.

JA of Memphis reaches thousands of students annually through its programs.

It takes more than 1,000 adult volunteers each year to help reach these children through in-class curriculum,

JA BizTown and other yearround Junior Achievement programming that has now been leveraged to educate and inspire young minds for six decades.

“Milestones of this magnitude deserve both celebration and a commitment to continue support,” says Larry Colbert, president and CEO of Junior Achievement

of Memphis and the MidSouth Inc. “I invite our city’s adults to become one of the few who make a diference by volunteering in a K-12 classroom, volunteering at JA BizTown or sponsoring a school for JA BizTown.”

University removes restrictions on Nichols

By Jason Smith jason.smith@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5804

The University of Memphis has removed all restrictions from junior forward Austin Nichols’ release, allowing him to transfer to any school, the U of M announced July 14.

The move came just hours after an attorney representing the Nichols family threatened legal action against the U of M if it didn’t grant Nichols an unconditional release to transfer.

“The University of Memphis has reviewed an appeal submitted by Austin Nichols and has agreed to remove all conditions from his release,” the school announced in a statement.

Earlier, Nichols was granted a conditional release to transfer by Memphis that prohibited him from accepting a transfer scholarship at another AAC school, a school on the Tigers’ 2015-16 nonconference schedule or Tennessee, Virginia, Providence and Iowa.

Memphis had restricted Nichols from transferring to Virginia, Providence or

MARK WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL FILES

The University of Memphis removed all restrictions from Austin Nichols release. Nichols can now transfer to any Division 1 school. He can accept a scholarship but will still have to sit out one year per NCAA rules.

Iowa because it could face those schools in the 2016 Emerald Coast Classic tournament in Destin, Fla. Nichols could have still gone to one of the schools on Memphis’ restricted list, but he would have had to pay his own tuition while he sat out a year per Division 1 transfer rules.

Now, with the conditions removed, he’ll be permitted to accept a transfer scholarship at any school, though Nichols will still be required to sit out one year.

According to an ESPN. com report, Nichols is interested in Virginia.

Earlier on July 14, the Nichols family’s attorney, Donald Jackson of The Sports Group in Montgomery, Ala., emailed several members of the national media, calling Memphis’ transfer restrictions on Nichols “a calculated effort by a dysfunctional staf to punish a player for taking a step to remove himself from a failing program.”

Pastner checks prospects in 17-and-under event in Georgia

By Jason Smith jason.smith@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5804

SUWANEE, Ga. — Sitting in a rental car outside the Suwanee Sports Academy, University of Memphis coach Josh Pastner wondered aloud Thursday if he had enough time to make a 13-minute drive to the Old Atlanta Rec Center to see T.J. Ford’s 17-and-under AAU team.

Memphis-based Team Thad was about to play its second game of the day in less than an hour at the Suwanee Sports Academy. Could Pastner get to the rec center and back in time to see Team Thad tip of against the D.C. Blue Devils?

“I’ve got to be here for Team Thad,” Pastner said, electing not to risk it.

With Pastner and Memphis assistant coach Keelon Lawson watching from a front-row seat, a Jaylen Fisher-led Team Thad squad beat the D.C. Blue Devils 7462 on Thursday evening to advance to the second round of Under Armour Association’s 17-and-under national championship.

Fisher, a senior at Bolton High and one of the nation’s top point guard prospects, was one of several recruiting targets Memphis’ staf had its eyes on Thursday during the second week of the July evaluation period.

Memphis doesn’t have any players committed for 2016, though it did have two at one point in Dedric Lawson and Nick Marshall, who both reclassiied to 2015 and will play for the Tigers as freshmen this season.

But Pastner sounded conident that Memphis is in good position to land what will be a critically important 2016 class — one that could include as many as six players.

“One thing I know we’re gonna do is sign a good class. We’ve always had good classes here,” Pastner said. “It doesn’t matter whether you have a commitment right now or a commitment in September because you can’t sign until November,

Sedee Keita, a 6-11 prep forward out of Greenville, S.C., says Memphis has been recruiting him since last year. “They’ve definitely been reaching out to my AAU coach,” he said.

and then the next signing period isn’t until the spring.

“If we had those two (Lawson and Marshall as 2016 commitments), we’d be a top-three class right now. But they both reclassiied. People can’t forget that. But we’re in good position (for 2016). We’re involved with some really good prospects, both high school and junior college.”

Among the 2016 prospects Memphis watched Thursday in Suwanee were former Briarcrest small forward Micah Thomas, who’s headed to Huntington Prep in West Virginia for his senior season; South Carolina power forward Sedee Keita; Louisiana point guard Skylar Mays; and Missouri power forward Jeriah Horne, son of former Tigers forward Jerrell Horne.

Lynch named to national watch list

By Phil Stukenborg stukenborg@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2543

University of Memphis Paxton Lynch, a relative unknown quarterback entering last season, is gaining national recognition as his junior season approaches. Thursday, he was named to a second national watch list.

Lynch, from Deltona, Fla., was one of two dozen quarterbacks named to the 2015 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award watch list. Players on the list were selected based on their performance last fall and their expectations this season.

Earlier this summer, he was named to the watch list for the 79th annual Maxwell Award, annually presented to America’s College Player of the Year.

Lynch led the U of M to a 10-3 inish last year, including a victory over BYU in the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl. He was named the game’s MVP. The Tigers also inished the season ranked 25th nationally, their irst appearance in the polls since 2004.

During Lynch’s two seasons — in which he has started each of the team’s 25 games — Lynch has passed for 5,087 yards and 31 touchdowns. He has rushed for 15 additional

scores. He is one of three quarterbacks in U of M history to surpass 5,000 career passing yards.

Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott, a finalist last year, is also on the list.

Lynch is one of 15 making their irst appearance on the list. Cardale Jones, who helped guide Ohio State to a national championship in January, leads the group, one that includes Tennessee’s Joshua Dobbs, Cincinnati’s Gunner Kiel and Arkansas State’s Fredi Knighten.

The Davey O’Brien Foundation will announce its 16 award semiinalists on Nov. 2 and three inalists on Nov. 24.

Sports SEC MEDIA DAYS/TENNESSEE

Vols on the rise, says coach Butch Jones

Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze (at SEC Media Days on Thursday): “I strongly believe it is time we move in a different direction and change the flag. ”

But nobody is doing backflips over last season

BRYNN ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEC MEDIA DAYS/OLE MISS

By John Zenor Associated Press

HOOVER, Ala. — Butch Jones promises nobody at Tennessee was doing cartwheels over a winning season, whatever Steve Spurrier says.

The Volunteers coach opened Southeastern Conference media days July 14 responding to Spurrier’s earlier remark to reporters regarding how Tennessee and Arkansas were celebrating 7-6 seasons that exceeded most expectations.

Spurrier’s South Carolina team had the same record after opening ranked in the top 10.

“Contrary to reports, there were no backlips and there were no somersaults,” Jones said. “But I think in the world of college football, you’re judged by wins and losses but also you’re judged by does your team overachieve or underachieve.

“And I think last year’s football team overachieved.”

The Vols secured the program’s irst winning record since 2009 and beat Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl, thriving late in the season with the emergence of quarterback Josh Dobbs.

They won four of their last ive games.

Tennessee accomplished that while playing more freshmen than any other Football Bowl Subdivision team, adding to the perception it is a program

Freeze takes a stand on Mississippi state flag

BRYNN ANDERSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tennessee coach Butch Jones speaks to the media at the Southeastern Conference NCAA college football media days on July 14 in Hoover, Ala.

on the rise.

Jones thinks the strong finish and back-to-back highly rated recruiting classes have created some momentum for his program and “positive energy” surrounding the Vols.

He says this season’s feel “is diferent for each and every player” from 2014.

After all, observers are wondering what Tennessee can do for an encore instead of writing it of as a likely building year going into Jones’ third season.

“I think our players re-

ally learned how to win last year,” the coach said.

Dobbs said the strong inish carried over into the ofseason, but like Jones he believes it’s just the beginning.

Defensive standout Curt Maggitt said taking part in bringing the Tennessee program back to national prominence was part of the allure when he was recruited. This team has designs on contending in the SEC East Division, not just making another bowl game.

HOOVER, Ala. — Hugh Freeze wants to change the Mississippi state lag.

He wants Mississippi to remove the Southern cross that is incorporated in that lag.

He wants a state lag that doesn’t represent hate to a good number of those who live in his state or play for his football team.

“I strongly believe it is time we move in a diferent direction and change the lag,” he said.

Hotty Toddy to that.

And, yes, I know, some of you are asking why Freeze is talking about lags and race and politics anyway. Isn’t he just a football coach?

No. He is the highest-paid public employee in the state of Mississippi. He is a man who represents his school and his state.

So when Freeze showed up in Hoover on Thursday, he knew he would be asked about the debate that has roiled this country.

Here’s the full version of what Freeze said: “In the late ’90s, our university made a move to go away

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

from the Confederate lag, and being a Mississippian, I have a great appreciation for the Mississippi people and the pride we have in the heritage and all those things. Unfortunately, that symbol has been hijacked by some groups that mean ill will toward some people. While I’m not a political igure, I strongly believe it is time we move in a diferent direction and change the lag. Hopefully that will happen.”

Now, you can quibble with certain aspects of that statement if you like. The line about the lag being “hijacked by some groups that mean ill will” is particularly disingenuous. As if the armies that carried the battle lag meant nothing but cheery good will toward the enslaved?

That’s silly, of course.

A sop to the true believers out there. But it shouldn’t obscure the fact that Freeze was willing to take a stand that won’t necessarily be popular with his fan base.

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen wasn’t willing to take that same stand.

Presented with the identical question about the state lag earlier in the week, Mullen ducked.

Of course, Ole Miss has had a lot of catching up to do on this issue. Credit the university for understanding that. The changes began under former Chancellor Robert Khayat.

They haven’t always gone over well. There’s still a renegade Colonel Reb walking around the Grove during football games. It’s a lingering embarrassment. But Freeze’s statement is consistent with the school’s determination to do the right thing.

Mississippi’s politicians haven’t yet shown the same courage. So the ofensive lag still lies. But when a popular coach says it’s time for a change, can progress be far behind?

is covered with two kinds of rocks — small blue to black river stones that suggest a running brook and larger brown stones that represent land beside the stream. The dark rocks appear to “low” under a low bridge formed by the wood plank walkway that meanders through the garden.

The rocks and other design elements of the garden aren’t just pleasing to the eye.

They also function as part of a drainage system that carries water away from the sheds during heavy rainfalls.

The beds are ringed with small pieces of tumbled Pennsylvania blue paving stones stood on edge.

Strauss’ collection of mature bonsai, including the

ive-needle pine from Jane, is displayed on terra cotta chimney lues of varying heights.

Travertine tiles cover the lue openings to support the trees and their containers.

The flues and tiles are heavy enough to stay in place yet cost much less than other pedestals, Smith said. They are also in the same color family as the reddish paint used on the two sheds.

Each bonsai gets regular watering from an automatic irrigation system that delivers water to the base of the trees.

The collection includes Strauss’ beloved satsuki azaleas that are covered in pink lowers in the spring. A black pine (known as the “king” of bonsai), a crape myrtle now showing pink flowers and

Japanese maples are also in the display.

“I didn’t have a lot of time to work on the garden, so I was pleased that it all came together well,” Smith said. “I like the aesthetics of various textures and colors in the garden.”

Strauss, who worked as a commodities analyst for Continental Grain, visited gardens and bonsai nurseries in Japan and elsewhere as his passion for the tiny trees grew. He also partnered with Brussel Martin in establishing Brussel’s Bonsai Nursery in Olive Branch but is no longer involved in the company.

Bonsai has been the lasting hobby that Strauss started decades ago with a birthday gift.

“They (the trees) seem to like me, and I love them.”
