Thirty-two cultures were represented with information booths, food and artistic programs.

The event started with a parade of nations with participants dressed in traditional attire and many proudly carrying their country’s flags. The crowd was welcomed by Rotary District Governor Bob Bickley and

Germantown Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy.

Austria, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Jamaica, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Puerto-Rico, Sri Lanka, Syria, Turkey and Ukraine were represented.

A scheduling conflict prevented me from taking the media night tour through Spooky Nights that opened last weekend at Shelby Farms, so I decide Spooky Days is more appropriate — a quiet little jaunt on a fall morning to get a sense of what the event presents.

Approaching the entrance to the trail, the organizers loosen up things with some humor. The graveyard — a staple for every haunted event — has some pretty creative names on the markers: Ima Goner, Rick Amortis, Barry Deep and Claire Voyant (“She never saw it coming”).

I won’t give away a lot of the gory details from my walk, so as not to spoil the work by the KillGore Crew that designed the haunted trail and worked with the actors — scores of them — to make your blood run cold. Besides, I decide to go at a time when they aren’t there anyway.

In the News CRIME PREVENTION

Juvenile curfews in place, but enforcement varies

By Clay Bailey bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2393

Recent teen group violence has put a focus on juvenile curfews, but such deadlines already exist in Memphis and the major suburbs in Shelby County, though enforcement varies.

Bartlett, Collierville and Germantown, along with Memphis, have similar curfew times mirroring state law. Juveniles 16 and under are not allowed in public places after 10 p.m. Monday

through Thursday and 11 p.m. on the weekends. Seventeen-yearolds get to stay out an hour longer, including until midnight on the weekends. All of the curfews — which end at 6 a.m. — have exceptions, allowing teenagers to remain out for work, school or church events or with their parents.

“I think it’s efective,” said Insp. Jef Cox of the Bartlett police patrol division. “It’s going to limit how many juveniles are out. If they are out, it gives us a reason to speak to them.”

Germantown Police reports

The interest in curfews comes after a Sept. 7 incident at the Kroger store in Poplar Plaza, where two employees and a customer were attacked. On Sept. 26, there was another incident with a group of teenagers, this time on Bellevue near Peabody, where at least two cars were damaged when youths began kicking vehicles. A 16-year-old leaving the Central High football game said he was assaulted by another teenager, and later, a 55-year-old man said he was attacked in the same area by ive people.

Juvenile summonses were issued to several people in connection with those incidents.

Collierville oicers use one of three options — call the parents, issue a juvenile summons or take them into custody and down to Juvenile Court, depending on the severity of the situation.

Juvenile Court has “plenty to do without us looding it,” Collierville Police Chief Larry Goodwin said. “Nine out of 10 times, we handle it out here.”

The Memphis ordinance provides the same three options for

dealing with violators. But because of Memphis’ size, the problem is more diicult to handle than in a small suburb.

Larry Scroggs, chief administrative oicer and chief counsel for Juvenile Court, said police never had the manpower to enforce a curfew law, given the territory and the signiicant number of more serious crimes.

“It’s just real diicult to enforce,” Scroggs said.

Staf writers Daniel Connolly and David Royer contributed to this story.

Walk, if you dare Scares, surprises await visitors to Spooky Nights

By Clay Bailey

SPOOKY NIGHTS

bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2393

For the faint of heart, it is probably better to see Shelby Farms Spooky Nights during daylight.

The sign at the entrance even warns those with claustrophobia, seizures, nerve and heart conditions to turn around and walk away.

Which may be a better option than running for your life through the exit after traipsing the terrifying trail.

Those who still qualify from health and bravery standpoints (and are at least 12 years old) are free to enter, but will have to pay $10 for the heartpounding, blood pressure-accelerating, screamingyour-lungs-raw haunted hike.

“The Haunted Trail brings out your greatest fear of the dark,” tapping every sense, said Natalie Wilson, Shelby Farms manager of events and programs. “We capture from your smell to your taste to your vision to your hearing. Every sense is captured in this haunt.”

Spooky Nights is open Friday and Saturday nights through Halloween weekend. Entering of Farm Road, the trail begins on the west side of Pine Lake. Other events include nocturnal nature hikes, Zombie Laser Tag, a Zombie Paintball Hayride and a Headless Horseman hayride.

The idea for the Halloween event was prompted by the success of Christmastime’s Starry Nights display at Shelby Farms. Not many other holidays lend themselves to a theme that can attract thousands of visitors.

The inaugural year in 2013 drew about 10,000 people and raised about $75,000 for the Shelby Farms Park and the Greenline.

“We hope to double that this year,” Wilson said.

And to do that takes more than someone jumping from behind a tree shouting “Boo” or the obligatory masked man with a chain saw. For Spooky Nights, about 100 volunteer actors, some as young as 16, plus makeup artists and scene designers worked for months developing roles and working on diversions and lighting to enhance the entertainment value.

Ian Pretznow, a leader of the KillGore Crew that oversees the Haunted Trail production, said the

When: Fridays and Saturdays in October, plus Nov. 1.

Where: Shelby Farms near Pine Lake in the north central section of the park.

What: Halloween-theme events with the centerpiece being a Haunted Trail illed with scary scenes to make you scream.

Price: Trail, $10 a person (ages 12 and over) Time: 7-10 p.m. (Hours extended to midnight on Halloween and Nov. 1).

Other events: Nocturnal nature hikes ($10 per family); zombie laser tag ($5 per person per game); zombie paintball hayride ($20 a person); headless horseman hayrides ($5 per person); pumpkin painting ($7 for a large pumpkin; $5 for a small).

More information: Go to shelbyfarmspark.org and click on Spooky Nights or call 901-767-PARK (767-7275).

challenge is to scare those numb to such emotions because of lots of exposure to special efects in movies and gore in video games.

“We want to impress the unimpressible,” he said.

Pretznow likened the design of the trail to the building of emotions in a music album — hitting the consumer hard at the start to get their attention, then having lulls or love songs before hitting them again. The psychology and anticipation along the trail builds the anxiety. Bloody body parts scattered along the path, exhibits, blind turns and unknowns are planned for maximum shock value.

“Diferent things scare diferent people,” he said.

“It’s not just scaring. There are so many things that build up just that anxiety about what is going on, what can I expect, something is going to happen I know, but I don’t know where.”

Wilson said the goal is to “scare them forward,” forcing those on the trail to keep moving. She recounts a story from last year where a woman fell on the trail with the ghoul waving a chain saw above her — the smell of diesel fuel causing her to holler that it was real.

“We want them to come out running,” Wilson said. “We’re all about that. We like them running, We like them shaking. We like them crying. The actors ind a high when someone soils themselves.

That happened several times last year.”

from 1 As usual, the festival proved to be quite an educational experience for schoolchildren. The festival ofers a hands-on way to experience the world.

Many of the cultural programs offered opportunities for the audience to participate. And most booths had some kind of interactive feature, such as teaching guests how to write their names in diferent languages or create art relective of the country’s traditions.

Vijay Surpuriya of the Rotary Club of Germantown led the coordinating committee. “The main objective of the festival is to share various cultures with each other and with the local community,” he said. “This is a way we can break barriers and promote friendship.”

SPOOKY from 1 go through THAT!) and rooms guarded by gargoyles or some kind of head without a body.

There’s a snake or two along the way and things hanging from trees. As I approach a bridge, I can almost see eyes peering through the planks from underneath and anticipate the arm coming up and grabbing an ankle.

Animals look like they are about to jump at me, but as I lean back to create some distance, they stand harmlessly to the side. All of this can make the imagination grow to the point that tree roots stretching through the dust toward the path start looking like the ingers of some evil

monster.

The temperature is climbing at this point so I decide to walk a bit quicker after the second bridge.

No, not run. I just pick up the pace. There’s a trail to the left, and I wonder if that is a shortcut out of the forest. Probably just a trick and the way they want you to go. I’m not falling for that. Keep walking.

Decaying corpses hang from the rafters of a building. Oil drums ooze stuf that could be nuclear waste. Did that sign back there say something about staying out? Is that an electrical cable running through the trees or more snakes? As I move

a tad faster (I’m going to be late for my next interview), I notice yet another bloody lower leg next to the path. There are a lot of somebodys who got cut up in these woods. Maybe by that guy who was sitting on that old wooden porch a ways back.

Making my way through crypts, corpses and caskets, another graveyard appears. Whispering Pines with a few more cute names for the deceased (Izzy Gone, Mona Lott and Lester Moore — “No less, no more”). There are broken coffins with bones and skeletons hanging out

among the grave markers.

Things are getting spooky enough now that even a green storage box has me wondering “What’s in there?” Something moves over in the graveyard.

Dang squirrel.

I knew it. I knew there had to be clowns. Evil clowns at that. Bloody evil clowns. Dismembered bloody, evil clowns, and blood-soaked monkeys.

Thank goodness those things aren’t moving.

By that point, I am really running late, so I sprint as fast as an old man on bad legs can sprint to daylight, wondering when that guy with the chain saw would pop out of somewhere.

Never did see him, though.

Maybe I outran him.

Or maybe he only comes out at night.

Thank goodness.

Business DEVELOPMENT

Hernando Chamber hears how Collierville honed area’s charm

By Henry Bailey Jr. baileyhank@desotoappeal.com 901-333-2012

Terri Hannah is the owner of Terri Hannah Home and Garden and Two Doors Down Bridal Registry and Gifts in Germantown.

Hernando, “Mississippi’s Front Porch,” met the nation’s “Best Main Street,” Collierville, and spent a neighborly spell getting tips from the east Shelby County town’s major booster of its historic downtown. “‘Main Street’ is more than a place,” said Laura Todd, who has been the executive director of Main Street Collierville organization for 14 years. “It’s a movement about your arts, your history and culture, about preserving and protecting your past while promoting your future, about development and growth, but smart growth.”

In the Aug. 17 issue of Parade Magazine, a Sunday supplement in The Commercial Appeal, Collierville was recognized for the top Main Street in an online vote by readers nationwide. Parade has a circulation topping 30 million.

“It’s an awesome honor, shared by the whole town, the whole community,” said Todd, who addressed the quarterly gathering of the Hernando Main Street Chamber of Commerce.

The article has stirred visits from people across the country, including “a lady from New Jersey who came with the magazine in her hand and said she was amazed that our park ‘looked just like the photo.’

She was just of the charts.”

Todd, who had a 15-year career in mortgage banking after graduating from the University of Mississippi, said a sensible revi-

Known for being one of America’s Favorite Farmers Markets, Hernando Main Street also ofers a number of eateries within walking distance for local workers to enjoy. “‘Main Street’ is more than a place,” says Laura Todd, executive director of Main Street Collierville, during her keynote address to the Hernando Main Street Chamber of Commerce Quarterly Luncheon.

talization management approach translates to dollars and cents.

She noted there are 27 Tennessee Main Street Program communities, including Collierville. For 2012, when there were 24, the group reported reinvestment gains of 604 net new jobs, 107 net new businesses, 117,253 volunteer hours and a total publicprivate downtown investment of $82.7 million.

Collierville’s successful path, said Todd, follows

four tracks.

■ “Economic restructuring” calls for strengthening and broadening the downtown support base, “and you can’t do it without a gazillion volunteers. The Main Street organization is a way for that to happen.” Collierville’s historic downtown covers 14 blocks with some 118 commercial properties. Todd noted that a new bed-and-breakfast just got aldermen’s goahead.

■ “Design” should en-

courage downtown improvements and enhancements “to make it a unique place to shop, work and live.” Street banners and personalized license plate designs work for Collierville, but “pink polka-dot lashing signs” don’t.

■ “Organization” calls for sound iscal management policies to ensure eicient operations. Todd applies the “Rule of 3 M’s” — matching money, mission and manpower. This includes partnerships, such as that with the Junior Auxiliary which sponsors a popular Easter egg hunt.

■ “Promotions” and projects in Collierville include the Pennies for Preservation program, which since 2003 has raised $20,000 from schoolchildren, and events such as Christmas In Collierville and the Sunset on the Square summer music series.

“The series is a great signature event,” said Todd.

Hernando Mayor Chip Johnson and chamber executive director Susan Fernandez appreciated the input.

“We can get used to things around us, so it’s good to have an outside eye come,” said the mayor, a board member of Mississippi Main Street Association. Hernando will host a statewide meeting of the panel in February.

Fernandez said Hernando will be the city “spotlight” subject in the November-December issue of Mississippi magazine: “That’s their big holiday issue; the one you want to be in.”

CUTE. This rendering from Athletic Surfaces Plus shows how three fields at Houston High School would look with artificial turf.

GERMANTOWN MUNICIPAL SCHOOL BOARD

Houston High weighs artificial turf on fields Cost for 3 would be $2.13 million

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

Houston High School may soon see major renovations in the way of artificial turf athletic fields.

The Germantown Municipal School Board heard a presentation at a work session Oct. 1 about what it would take to convert the grass and dirt football, baseball and a multi-purpose field into turf fields.

Supt. Jason Manuel said the board will vote at its Oct. 20 meeting whether to hire the presenter, local consulting group Athletic Surfaces Plus, to move forward in developing plans for each stage of the project.

Consultant Tim Cowan said the cost of doing all three fields would be about $2.13 million, including about $700,000 for the football field, but could offer long-term savings.

“You’re able to use the field and not even have to think about it,” Cowan said.

Maintenance costs drop

significantly, he said, with a low estimate for field maintenance per year for a grass football field at about $30,000. Artificial turf also saves the average high school about 700,000 gallons of water a year.

Houston athletic director Chad Becker said the school spent $7,000 recently just to repaint the football field, an annual expense. He said artificial turf can also extend the life of uniforms, as they have less wear and tear when no dirt or grass is involved.

The fields would last about 10 or 11 years with little or no maintenance.

To replace them would cost about half the price of the original cost to build the field.

Cowan said all three fields would become multipurpose, and the school would no longer have to restrict use to protect the fields for games, possibly turning them into revenue-generators.

Houston principal Kyle Cherry said the football team would be able to practice on their game field, which would eliminate use of the practice field

along Wolf River Boulevard. Cherry said the field is a safety hazard because of its proximity to the road.

“If a car were to jump a curb, they would be right there on the practice field,” he said.

Off-the-field competition for students and families who may make their decision to move to a district for athletics is also a consideration, Cherry said. With the current state of the fields, Cherry said, Houston is not competitive with similar caliber schools.

Board members said they support the idea of artificial turf, but want to make sure long-term plans are considered.

Manuel said steering and campaign committees for the project will be the next steps if the board approves the hiring of the consultants later this month.

Cherry said all the athletic groups he has consulted have urged him to move forward with the projects as soon as possible.

“I want this to be the center of our community,” he said. “I want students in Germantown to want to play on the big field.”

Bridge paper helps the homeless

By Jeremy C. Park Special to The Weekly

Homelessness is an important social issue we face in communities across America. While myriad factors afect homelessness, with the ongoing instability of the economy, many individuals and families have been left without reliable sources of income and have lost their homes.

Here in Memphis, approximately 2,000 people are homeless on any given day.

Thankfully, there are many organizations lending a helping hand; but one has taken a unique approach, serving to “bridge the gap” between homelessness and sheltered by giving a voice and a sustainable income to the homeless community.

The Bridge is a professionally-printed, monthly

newspaper featuring stories, articles and artwork by people who have exp e r ie n c e d Jeremy C. homele s s Park ness. Staff writers supplement this content with articles covering related issues and other Memphisbased pieces.

Vendors who sell the newspaper out in the community are currently or formerly homeless individuals who have been trained and certiied by organization. After certiication, each vendor receives 20 free copies of the newspaper per month and can sell them for $1 each.

They can purchase additional copies for 25 cents to sell for $1. Vendors keep

100 percent of the proits.

The Bridge is modeled after successful street papers in other major cities.

Launched by students at Rhodes College in March 2013, the organization is run entirely by college students. All staf articles, photography and newspaper layouts are done by Rhodes students, providing valuable experience for a future career, along with meaningful community engagement. The Bridge seeks to demystify homelessness and pays individuals who have been homeless to share their stories and artwork for publication. Funding comes through donations from Rhodes College, private contributions, advertising revenue and vendor payments.

Crosswind Elementary students in Connie Caldwell’s classroom participated in the school’s annual Turkey Trot fundraiser.

Farmington Elementary librarian Jennifer Mock wanted to make her library better and more welcoming for students so she started a “Donors Choose” drive for speciic items she selected. Items she included were a large alphabet area rug and loor pillows and cushions. The students donated close to $1,900 to this cause.

Students at Bailey Station Elementary crowded the halls on a recent morning to ofer encouragement to their favorite weatherman and humanitarian Jim Jaggers from WREG News Channel 3.

With the ground being too wet for an outdoor ride, Jaggers brought the fun indoors while the children showered him with high ives and loud cheers. “Go Jim Go!” is the weatherman’s campaign to raise awareness and funds for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. During his visit, BSE principal Cindy Tesreau presented Jaggers with a donation from Bailey Station Elementary students and faculty.

Dogwood Elementary Girl Scout Troop 10110 used District Learning Day to explore the judicial system. The girls took a trip to meet Judge Donna Fields and tour the Shelby County Courthouse.

Institute for Citizenship expands classes this year

By Lainie Crose Special to The Weekly

St. George’s Independent School has expanded its Institute for Citizenship, adding another class for the current school year. Launched in 2010 with a grant from the E.E. Ford Foundation, the Institute for Citizenship ofers upper school students the opportunity to deeply explore civic engagement during their last two years in high school.

Students must apply as sophomores to participate in the highly competitive program.

The Institute for Citizenship ofers dynamic academic lessons and realworld learning opportunities through coursework and of-campus experiences.

Students must participate in a summer internship and focus their senior independent study project on citizenship on a regional, national, global, or environmental level. The Institute for Citizen-

ship also funds a speaker series for all upper school students, allowing them to hear from renowned leaders who have made a diference in their chosen ield.

“Civic responsibility permeates the St. George’s culture,” said Luther Mercer, director of the Institute for Citizenship.

“The growth in the number of students who wish to participate in the program speaks volumes about their desire to ind ways to enrich their high school experience. It is our fervent hope that our graduates leave these halls and continue to make meaningful contributions in their communities.”

Mercer keeps in touch with many of his former students, who update him on their accomplishments. They frequently credit the Institute for Citizenship for helping them ind their passion for service.

“The Institute cultivated in me, at an age younger than many of my peers, professionalism, creativity, and the ability to internally motivate and pursue what truly makes me passionate,” said Rebecca Hollis, a junior at Xavier University.

Hollis was one of 10 students at Xavier to be awarded a summer internship at the Oklahoma Policy Institute through the Southern Education Leadership Initiative

Similar to the Institute for Citizenship, the competitive Rawls program provides participants with experiential living and learning opportunities, real-world applications, international experiences, and interactive personal development with a professional mentor.

“The Institute for Citizenship was tremendously helpful in both preparing me for this program and actually being selected for it,” said Crawford. “To even be invited to apply, I had to irst meet with the dean of the business school. In the meeting I talked about how the Institute for Citizenship trained me to be a leader and gave me perspective on a national and international level.”

By Jennifer W. Casey Special to The Weekly

Recently there has been a surge of activity taking place with the Young Adult programs at the Collierville Burch Library. Since the addition of the YA library associate, Deborah Elam, this spring, numerous programs involving varying interests have been added to the library’s calendar.

“I’d like for teens to see the library as more than a place to do their homework,” said Elam.

“It gives them a place to foster and express passions outside of standard, school work.”

Some of the ongoing activities include the Anime and Movie/Book clubs along with the Teen Advisory Board. The board, or TAB, is a group of young adults willing to become involved in the functioning of the library to make the library more appealing for their peers.

Gray Patterson, a irst-grader at Farmington Elementary, says all the subjects in school are easy for him.

Deborah Elam, Young Adult Associate at the Collierville Burch Library.

Board members may be any student in grades 6-12 who obtains parental permission and holds a library card; applicants serve for one year.

Elam designs the programs

to supplement educational interests, but also to make sure they are a way to just have fun.

In mid October, the library will be hosting “Teen Read Week.” This year’s theme, “Turn Dreams into Reality,” includes a dream catcher-making workshop, writing class, Great Gatsby tea party and a writing contest.

“I really enjoy working with this age group and hearing their ideas about not only programming, but what they like to read. I like reading the Young Adult books just as much as they do,” Elam said.

A native of Germantown, Elam graduated from Houston High in 2005 and went on to study English literature at Arizona State University.

Since college, she has traveled around the world spending two years teaching English in South Korea and completing a 200-hour yoga instructor cer-

tiication program in India.

She started working at the Collierville Burch Library in May and has brought a fresh, new approach to the Young Adult sector.

“We are lucky to have Deborah,” says Deanna Britton, director of the Collierville Burch Library. “She has started outstanding programs with our young adults which have been quite successful.” To learn more about the Young Adult programs at the Collierville Library, please visit colliervillelibrary.org and look for Teens under the Services tab on the homepage, or feel free to email Deborah at Deborah.Elam@ colliervillelibrary.net. Curious about what the acronym “BAE” means? Ask a young adult, and they will tell you.

A&E PERFORMING ARTS

‘Richard III’ opens Shakespeare Co. season Seasoned cast of eight portrays spirit world

Special to The Weekly

Tennessee Shakespeare Company opens its seventh performance season with a resurrection of William Shakespeare’s “Richard III” inside Duncan-Williams Performance Hall at Germantown Performing Arts Center over Halloween.

The play will run Oct. 30-Nov. 1 inside the 824-seat hall. “Richard III” features

TSC founder and producing artistic director Dan McCleary in the title role. The production is sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor.

Directed by Dave Demke, “Richard III” features a seasoned cast of eight actors that will act as King Richard’s spirit world during All Hallow’s Eve. Seven spirits revisit Shakespeare’s narrative of the most infamous villain in literary

history.

This revisitation has been prompted by the factual discovery and unearthing of the real Richard III under a parking lot in Leicester, England two years ago. The bones remain un-interred. The discoveries made about the man who was Richard do not always support Shakespeare’s creation, but they do tell a compelling and even painful story.

Evans heard about MLGW’s Plus-1 program during the unemployment beneits process. She applied and received one-time assistance with her utility bill.

“It made a big difference.

Plus-1 helped take care of our utility bill,” said Evans. “Now I give faithfully to the program.

It’s an automatic payroll deduction every pay period.

Business REAL ESTATE

Agents limiting risks, exercising caution

By Kevin McKenzie

TIPS FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS

mckenzie@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2348

and Sara K. Clarke sara.clarke@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5893

Jimmie Tapley didn’t know Beverly Carter, but as top-selling real estate agents with the same Memphis-based irm, she said Carter’s slaying in Arkansas has left her feeling sad, helpless and thinking about safety.

“Because I realized it could have happened to me or one of our co-workers,” Tapley said in Memphis. “Agents die, but not from being killed in the line of duty.”

Carter, 50, was the top seller in the North Little Rock, Arkansas, oice of Memphis-based CryeLeike Real Estate Services. Authorities discovered her body Sept. 30 in a shallow grave nearly 30 miles from the foreclosed, vacant lake home where she had gone Sept. 25. She thought she was meeting a couple interested in the property, a Crye-Leike executive said.

Though they are rare — the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show no homicides of real estate agents and brokers nationwide in 2012 — the killing of the veteran real estate agent has raised the issue of safety for the industry.

And particularly for women, who make up about 50 percent of all workers in real estate but more than 60 percent of sales agents who are Realtors, the title for members of trade associations of the National Association of Realtors.

“It’s heartbreaking,” said Mindy Creech, an agent with Re/Max Real Estate Experts in Germantown. “Being a female in the ield, it’s frightening because we all do the same thing — go show a house by ourselves at one time or another.”

A 33-year-old man, Arron Michael Lewis, was arrested Sept.

29 and charged with capital

Safety is always a concern for Crye-Leike vice president Jimmie Tapley. Using the “buddy system,” Crye-Leike real-estate agents often accompany one another when showing houses in areas they feel uncomfortable. Agents are reassessing their safety protocols after the slaying of an Arkansas agent.

murder in her death. He denied killing Carter but told reporters she was targeted “because she was just a woman that worked alone — a rich broker.”

Steve Brown, general manager for Crye-Leike Realtors in Memphis, said that Carter’s was the irst fatal encounter for an agent since the company’s founding 37 years ago.

As the nation’s third-largest privately owned real estate irm with more than 25,000 sales closed last year, Crye-Leike has about 300 agents in North Little Rock, about 700 in the Memphis market and a total of nearly 3,000 in nine states. The agents are independent contractors.

“We’ve often said you cannot eliminate all of our risk in our business, you can only improve your odds and take limited risks, and so it’s been a tragedy and it’s been deeply felt,” Brown said.

In the wake of the Arkansas killing, the Memphis Area Association of Realtors is planning an event with law enforcement to train agents to keep themselves and their clients safe. Melanie Blakeney, chief executive oicer of MAAR, said the organization has hosted safety courses in the

past, as part of its continuing education series.

“We just want our members to be very cautious when meeting clients and customers. It’s always good to meet people at the real estate oice and try to verify that they are who they say they are,” Blakeney said.

The president-elect of the National Association of Realtors, Chris Plychron, is an Arkansan and said he will make safety a top priority of his term, Brown said.

Many agents already employ practices to minimize their risk, including: ■ Ensuring colleagues know where they are and how long they will be.

■ Working with buyers who have been prequaliied for a loan.

■ Driving separately from the client.

■ Keeping keys and car alarm button in hand in case of trouble.

If a situation arises, Creech said she can call her colleagues at Re/Max Real Estate Experts and use a code word to signal potential distress. One phrase indicates she is uncomfortable, and would like a checkup call in 10 minutes; another tells her col-

■ meet customers at the oice or a public space prior to showing property ■ Get customers’ information and leave a copy of their driver’s license in the oice ■ Show property with another person ■ Follow safety procedures when holding open houses ■ Survey vacant property for suspicious activity before entering ■ Park your car so you have an easy escape ■ When showing a property, identify exits and don’t get cornered ■ have a “check-in and checkout” process with someone else in your oice ■ Avoid expensive jewelry and impractical clothing Source: memphis Area Association of realtors

leagues to send police.

Greg Glosson, managing broker of Fast Track Realty, said his irm immediately e-mailed its agents to remind them of safety procedures.

“It started a conversation within the industry locally that’s one that we need to have,” Glosson said. But precaution is not a guarantee, he added. “She may have done everything absolutely right and still had a very unfortunate incident happen.”

Brown issued a similar warning.

“The last thing we need to do is blame the victim here, because she was a veteran of the business,” he said. “She was, as the sherif’s department said, a victim of opportunity.”

Carter left a note in her brown Cadillac, found at the lake home, about meeting a couple, Brown said. She was going to show three properties in late afternoon, beginning with that ive-bedroom foreclosure because it had no electricity for lights after dark, and told her husband exactly

where she’d be.

“Within an hour and a half of the time that she was supposed to meet this couple at that property, her husband was at the property looking for her,” Brown said.

Foreclosed, or bank-owned, properties and open houses represent the biggest risks for real estate agents.

Crye-Leike provides safety training during orientation, has policies that tell agents not to meet people they don’t know, to verify their identiication irst and to not wear expensive jewelry, among other precautions, Brown said.

“An open house, it’s a diferent story, people are coming to you and you don’t know who they are,” he said.

“About the only thing you can do is have somebody, a buddy or a second person with you, to improve your odds.”

Because of Carter’s slaying, panic buttons monitored by security companies are likely to see increased sales among real estate agents, Brown said. He thinks cellphone manufacturers should consider installing one.

Crye-Leike doesn’t advise the independent contractors to carry guns, although for those regularly visiting foreclosed properties in rough areas, “I’m not going to tell them not to carry a gun,” Brown said.

Tapley, Crye-Leike’s top broker with her husband, Bob, and two sons also in the business, said her husband was robbed at gunpoint about two years ago near Rhodes College while taking pictures of a house. His car, wallet and gun in the car were stolen.

Within the last two months, a man who seemed eager to have her immediately show him a Cordova home broke contact when she told him her husband was already nearby and available to show it.

current constitutional provision. Hooker, an 84-yearold Nashville lawyer, says those rulings in conjunction with the legislatureapproved statutes constitute “the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetuated on the people of Tennessee by those who are supposed to represent them and have taken an oath to follow our state constitution.”

Article VI, Section 3 of the state Constitution, a provision dating to 1870, now says that Supreme Court judges “shall be elected by the qualiied voters of the state.” That would be repealed by Amendment 2 and replaced by a clear authorization for gubernatorial appointment — with legislative conirmation — and retention elections.

John Avery Emison, state coordinator of Vote No on 2, echoes Hooker’s sentiments. Amendment 2, he said, efectively asks voters to “provide political cover for a system that almost everybody knows is unconstitutional right now” and surrender their voting rights to the governor.

Some supporters of Amendment 2 — notably including Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey — agree that the present system appears to violate the constitution’s mandate for choosing judges by a straightforward contested election despite all the special Supreme Court opinions.

The proposed amendment, they say, provides a constitutionally approved method for putting into place a better system of distancing judges from political fundraising and becoming beholden to donors when making legal decisions.

Prep Sports BRIARCREST 28, ST. BENEDICT 14

Saints capture Div. 2-AA opener Ellis and Hill prove to be too much for Eagles

By Pete Wickham Special to The Commercial Appeal

Ben Ellis and Hunter Hill had a fun night last Friday, connecting on three touchdown passes for Briarcrest Christian School. The Saints defense had even more fun, coming up with six turnovers in a 28-14 win over St. Benedict to start Division 2-AA play.

CBHS’ 17-14 upset of Memphis University School last Friday could make what’s next even more fun for Briarcrest, which hosts the Purple Wave in two weeks.

“Didn’t ind out about it until after the game, but we have a shot,” said coach Brian Stewart, whose 5-2 Saints squad was coming of a 33-7 loss to East.

“Last week we had a chance to stay in the game but didn’t take advantage of a turnover. Today we got a great defensive performance, and cashed in. That set the tone, though we didn’t convert a lot of chances later on and we have to improve on that.”

Star turn: On fourth-and-four from the Eagles’ 45, Hill caught a 35-yard rainbow from Ellis despite being interfered with and took it to the end zone to make it 7-0.

“I was zoned on the ball. Didn’t feel anything,” said Hill (ive catches, 125 yards).

Moments later, his 45-yard punt return set up an 11-yard TD run by Robby Arthur (12 carries, 88 yards). Three plays into the second half Hill was wide-open on a 50-yard TD pass into an increasingly gusty wind. He and Ellis added a 32-yarder early in the fourth period. Hill also recovered a fumble.

“Wind didn’t afect us too much, and we knew we were good in warm-ups,” Ellis (9-of-14, 173 yards) said.

Turning point: The Eagles, also 5-2, drove 36 yards in ive plays to the Saints’ 19 to open the game but fumbled the ball away, and Briarcrest turned it into the irst Ellis-to-Hill strike. The Eagles lost three fumbles and quarterback Mark Kovacs (21-of-35, 182 yards)

Briarcrest’s Hunter Hill sprints past the St. Benedict defender during the Saints 28-14 win last Friday.

was intercepted three times before hitting late touchdown passes to Tyler Currie (12 catches, 123 yards) and Joey Magniico.

“You can’t turn the ball over six times and win. It’s surprising because we’ve played well,” SBA coach Mike David said, “but give Briarcrest credit for their defense.”

The Eagles also lost an opportunity when Currie sprinted 78 yards with a Kovacs pass for an apparent score, only to have it negated by a block in the back.

Extra points: Rashad Muhammad, out last week with a shoulder injury, ran for 78 yards for Briarcrest. … Harrison Eller recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass for the Saints, while Nick Pope picked of Kovacs in the end zone to keep the Eagles of the board.

Christian Brothers and Memphis University School have played football since 1894. But it’s doubtful there have been more exciting inishes than the one at Tom Nix Stadium.

Junior Jake Richards kicked a 42-yard ield goal on the inal play of the game to give the Brothers a 17-14 victory over the Owls last Friday.

“I can make it,” said Richards, when asked to describe his thoughts during the timeout that preceded his game-winner.

“I’d practiced all week and I had faith in my line. I knew MUS wasn’t going to get through, so I just had to make it.”

Star turns: Richards was the unlikeliest of heroes for CBHS (4-3, 1-0 in Division 2-AA).

He had spent the season as the team’s kickof specialist and only was called on for ield goal and extra point duties this week due to a back injury to Nick Azar.

“We had a lot of conidence in him,” said Brothers linebacker Hayden Ferrari.

Turning point: CBHS set the tone early, marching 80 yards on 16 plays on the irst possession of the game. Quarterback Keagan Voss capped it with a ive-yard scoring run, ending a drive that took 8:27 of the clock and establishing a physical

tone for the game.

They had several other chances to score but came up empty until Aaron Davis’ 77-yard punt return made it 14-7 in the third quarter.

“We just told them to keep playing,” said CBHS coach Scott Vogel. “MUS is a great team with great coaches and we were just fortunate enough to make plays.”

Talking points: It was a lights-out performance by the CBHS defense.

The Purple Wave held the Owls (4-3, 0-1) to just 145 yards for the game, 73 of those coming on a fourth-quarter drive that ended with Colton Neel’s 27-yard run that tied the game at 14.

Neel, who extended his school record with his 50th career touchdown, also scored on a 60-yard punt return. But other than that, it was all Purple Wave.

“The key was stopping the run,” said Ferrari. “We have an awesome secondary and we knew that their quarterback wasn’t so hot passing the ball.”

Extra points: Friday was the 54th meeting between the two teams with MUS leading the series, 27-24-3. CBHS’ victory was its irst since defeating the Owls 2114 in 2010.

What’s next: The Owls have Friday of before playing host to St. Benedict on Oct. 17. CBHS travels to St. Louis this Friday to take on CBC High.

CROSS COUNTRY

ECS middle school team boys team works hard to win district

By Mylissa Horrocks Special to The Weekly

It has been nearly 10 years in the making, but last week Evangelical Christian Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle school boys cross country team took first place in the Shelby 78 district championship held at Shelby Farms Park.

ECS scored 35 points in the meet to Memphis University Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40 points.

Educator and coach John Roelofs has been with ECS for 42 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won the district this year over a

very talented and competitive MUS team. We had 26 guys on our roster and they worked hard at every practice. They definitely had to earn this win.â&#x20AC;?

Davis Rangi led the team with a speedy 2-mile time of 11:43 and a secondplace finish in the meet. A total of five ECS runners finished in the top 10 and their times averaged 12:05 for 2 miles.

ECS is a Christian school that holds discipleship and biblical truth in the highest regard. Coach Roelofs remarks that he

â&#x20AC;&#x153; ... preached â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;packâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;prayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the last several days and those two items were crucial to the Eagles win.

He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We reminded ourselves of our school verse, Isaiah 40:31: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They understand that when they had nothing left, God would provide the extra strength needed to finish the race.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

LOVE & SACHS & CINEMA Memphis filmmaker hitting career peak with ‘Love Is Strange’

F

or Ira Sachs, “Love Is Strange” and life is good.

At 48, the Memphis-born ilmmaker and Central High School graduate with deep local roots is optimistic about love and conident about his art. He is happily married (his husband, Boris Torres, is an artist whose paintings have appeared in Sachs’ recent movies). He is an inluential presence in cultural Gotham, as an associate professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and as the creator of such programs as Queer/Art/Film (a public screening series) and Queer/Art/Mentorship (which brings together artists of different generations).

And after almost 20 years as a writer and director of acclaimed independent features and experimental short ilms, he has captured the attention of the mainstream press and the afection of the largest audiences of his career with “Love Is Strange,” a box-oice hit regarded as a possible dark horse Oscar candidate, thanks to the warm performances of Alfred Molina and John Lithgow, popular actors who haven’t had lead movie roles this rich in years.

Sachs’ ifth feature ilm (his irst two, 1996’s “The Delta,” and the 2005 Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winner, “Forty Shades of Blue,” were shot in Memphis), “Love Is Strange” begins a regular run here Friday at the Malco Ridgeway Cinema Grill. Sachs will attend the opening-night screening, and answer questions after the ilm, in an event sponsored by Indie Memphis.

The reviews, for the most part, have been rapturous.

“Ira Sachs is sneaking up on us as one of America’s most important ilmmakers,” wrote Andrew O’Hehir in Salon, under a headline that describes “Love Is Strange” as “a gorgeous fable of American life.”

Stephanie Zacharek in the Village Voice, meanwhile, referred to the ilm’s “mer-

curial beauty,” and praised it for being “about things that actually matter in life and in a partnership.”

Shot on location in New York, “Love Is Strange” is coscripted by Mauricio Zacharias, who also cowrote Sachs’ previous ilm, 2012’s “Keep the Lights On,” a sometimes harrowing depiction of the intense relationship of a much younger couple. Somewhat autobiographical, that ilm looked back at a volatile time in Sachs’ life, while “Love Is Strange” imagines a solid relationship that has sustained itself for decades.

The ilm tells the story of Ben (Lithgow), a music teacher, and George (Molina), a painter in his seventies, who are forced to split up temporarily after George loses his job at a Catholic school after he and Ben get married after 40 years together — a public declaration of sexuality that violates the terms of his contract with the archdiocese.

The reduction in income means Ben and George no longer can aford their Manhattan apartment, so they must depend on the kindness of nonstrangers, bunking with friends and relatives. The arrangements prove stressful, for the men’s hosts as well as

for Ben and George, who feel more like exiles and interlopers than honeymooners.

“Love Is Strange” has been boosted by circumstances that the ilmmakers couldn’t have predicted.

The movie, which debuted in January at the Sundance Film Festival and opened in New York in August, arrives at a moment when same-sex marriage is a frequent topic of news stories, as more and more judges airm the rights of couples by striking down bans against gay marriage.

W hat ’s more, polls now show that a majority of Americans approve of same-sex marriage; an ABC News/Washington Post poll released in March measured the level of support at a record 59 percent.

Coupled with Sachs’ rising proile and the novelty of a movie that gives lead, romantic roles to actors in their 60s and 70s, this topicality has earned “Love Is Strange” a great deal of attention, even landing Sachs and Marisa Tomei, one of the ilm’s stars, on NBC’s “Today” show.

Even so, “Love Is Strange” is hardly a “message” ilm; it’s not “about” same-sex marriage or job discrimination the way “Dead Man

Walking” was about the death penalty, for example.

Said Sachs: “There’s a recognition that this ilm is very much a ilm of its moment, but it’s timely not just for the obvious political reasons but for the sensibility of the ilm.

I think the ilm relects the way audiences feel today in its openness. They are emotionally connected to the story. Ben and Jerry are like people we all know.”

In fact, Sachs said the couple’s relationship was partly inspired by the 42-year marriage of his mother, Diane Sachs, a retired Rhodes College sociology professor, and his stepfather, Bob Vidulich, a retired psychology professor at the University of Memphis.

In a phone interview from Los Angeles, the Londonborn Molina, 61, agreed that “Love Is Strange” is inherently not didactically political. “I don’t think it was anyone’s aim to make a movie that was somehow polemical or designating itself as a template of the cultural dialogue or anything like that, but it’s certainly timely and it has struck a chord. If our movie plays a small role in furthering the dialogue, I think it’s all well and good.”

Molina — who describes

himself as a “working-class git from Notting Hill” — said “Love Is Strange” is more “mainstream” than Sachs’ previous ilms, but “I don’t think Ira has moved his position or his values in any way, I think it happens that his values have become more culturally acceptable.

The movie has a universality because it’s not about gay love or gay marriage per se but it’s about relationships, and more than that, it’s about what happens to a relationship that’s gone on for a long, long time.”

Sachs doesn’t rehearse his actors before ilming, preferring to capture their interactions fresh on the set, in front of the cameras, “so it’s a very interesting way of working,” Molina said.

“I was impressed by the way he conducts himself on set,” he continued. “He doesn’t like to rehearse the acting, but the truth is he comes impeccably prepared.

He’s an absolute gentleman, he’s not a shouter, he doesn’t use a big hammer to crack a walnut. He’s a very gentle soul, and he creates a very warm, conducive, collaborative atmosphere, so people want to do their best for him.”

Teen is a member of environmental commission

By Trena Street Special to The Weekly

Swathi Ganesh not only serves as a member of the Collierville Environmental Commission, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a member of several school clubs.

The Collierville Environmental Commission is unique in many ways. The Commission, created in 2000, advises the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BMA) and administration on issues related to the environment.

Eight members each serve a one year appointed term, as designated by the BMA. And one of those members is 16-year old Collierville High School student, Swathi Ganesh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth Leadership Collierville director Terry Dean sent an e-mail to our class members about the Town needing a stu-

dent representative,â&#x20AC;? Ganesh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud I was selected and excited about involvement with a Town board that helps our community.â&#x20AC;?

The Commission also supports the beneits and necessity of natural resources, and works to provide environmental education to the public.

When Ganesh read this directive, she decided to really take this appointment another level and involve her school. The CHS senior worked with the school and her CHS Environmental Club adviser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 70 student members and two projects we plan to focus on. One is to help keep

trash out of the stream that lows behind the school, and the other is to recycle and clean up items thrown on the school parking lot.â&#x20AC;? Ganesh said.

In school, she is part of the speech and debate team, Key Club, Beta Club, Cum Laude Society and is Collierville AM News anchor. Upon graduation she plans to use her math and science interest by going into pre-med to become a pediatric surgeon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in Collierville almost my whole life and I want to do whatever I can to improve the area. The environment is one thing I could easily start with,â&#x20AC;?

Ganesh concluded. Other Envi-
