Lewellen wins ‘City Manager of Year’ Cited for his integrity and professionalism Special to The Weekly

The Tennessee City Manager’s Association has named Collierville Town Administrator James Lewellen the 2014 “City Manager of the Year.”

The award was presented June 24 at the TCMA annual conference in Chattanooga.

The award is sponsored by TCMA as a James peer recogni- Lewellen tion program to acknowledge Tennessee managers/administrators who have made exceptional contributions to the profession or their city/town.

Nominations are judged by appointees of the TCMA executive board based on signiicant achievements made within the scope of the nominee’s regular duties, special contributions made outside of routine responsibilities, length of service to the municipality and demonstration of outstanding initiative, perseverance or dedication to the profession or city/town.

“This is a true testament to James’s integrity and professionalism,” said Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner. “It signiies that his peers across the state recognize and respect the collective body of work that James has accomplished.”

A native of Ripley, Miss., Lewellen graduated from Mississippi State University with a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s in public policy and public administration.

He served as director of the planning and development department for the city

CHARM SQUARED Town among top 2 for best main street in US

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Collierville’s Historic Town Square has landed among the top two towns on Parade magazine’s shortlist of cities with the most charming main street.

“From thousands of submissions (from readers suggestions), we selected 16 towns’ charming main streets as inalists,” said Jenna Page, Parade Media Group’s associate marketing manager.

Readers voted online daily for their favorite main street. Towns were eliminated each round, similar to NCAA tournament brackets.

Voting ended at 10:59 p.m. Wednesday night after this edition went to press. Find the Collierville Weekly on Facebook for the inal results.

Collierville, with a population of 46,462, is up against Siloam Springs, Ark., with a population of 15,000. The winner will be featured in an upcoming magazine article.

Among the criteria, towns had to have a population of less than 100,000.

“The main street had to be a cultural hub with a diversity of locally owned business.

We also read what the nominators had to say ... so we also took a sense of history, community and charm into account,” Page said.

Although Collierville was irst incorporated in 1850, Town Square didn’t exist until after the Civil War, in 1866.

It has remained a focal point for Collierville for decades, with its quaint park setting complete with a gazebo where blues great W.C. Handy once performed. The square is next to the town’s train depot, where nearby trains are waiting to be explored.

“When you are there, I think you slow down,” said Town Administrator James Lewellen. “You get this laid-back and relaxed feeling.”

Like many main streets, Town Square almost disappeared when the irst shop-

ping centers moved into Collierville in the 1960s, Lewellen said, and pulled business away from the downtown area.

“The square is what it is today because people refused to let it die,” he explained.

“It represents what the town aspires to be.”

Local oicials and residents hope the town can capture the top spot.

“No matter the season of the year or the season of life — young and old — the historic district is a special place,” said Laura Todd, director of Main Street Collierville, which puts on Thursday nights’ Sunset on the Square concert series each summer, and other special events.

Comfortable and safe is how commercial photographer Dorothy Smith described it.

“Not a lot of rifraf,’ she said, and it’s a great place for portraits — even in the alleyways with the rusted tin siding and antique wooden doors and porches.

Lifelong resident and Mayor Stan Joyner grew up less than a mile from the square.

“If somebody wants to see Collierville, I take them to Town Square. This is Collierville.”

New budget won’t increase property taxes

Salary rates set, room for animals

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Collierville’s mayor and aldermen passed a new budget without a property tax increase, approved a new building for Collierville Animal Services and a set a new 2016 salary rate for elected oicials.

The board approved:

■ A total town budget of $68.2 million, along with a $64 million Collierville municipal school budget ■ A new Humane Education building for animal services for $874,000 ■ A new salary rate of $35,000 for the mayor; $15,000 for the vice mayor and $12,000 for the aldermen starting after the November 2016 elections.

The budget and building project were 6-0 votes. Alderman Tom Allen was the sole “no” vote on the salary

increases.

“We went from a corporation of having 508 employees townwide with a total government expenditures of $62 million to a corporation of 1,219 employees with total expenditures of over a $130 million,” Town Admin. James Lewellen said.

The board also unanimously approved hiring Jaycon Development Corp. of Memphis for $874,000 to construct a new scaledback Humane Education

Germantown Police reports

building and outdoor covered area at Collierville Animal Services at 603 E. South Street. The new building will be separate from the existing facility.

The project, which is being paid for with private funds, stalled last May when the original bids came back well over projections. This time, town oicials dropped a proposed surgery wing, a sally port and other items to make it afordable.

Parks and Recreation di-

rector Chip Petersen said the 23,000-square-foot facility and the 1,800-squarefoot outdoor shelter will be run by volunteers and used for seasonal day camps, rental use, special events and training for local and area groups.

The goal, he said, is to “improve the lives of domestic animals and reduce the long-term impact of stray animals in Collierville.”

In April, at the town’s request, the state Legisla-

ture removed the salary language from the town’s charter, which allowed the board to pass the new rates by resolution. This is what Germantown did several years ago as well, where the mayor earns $24,000 and the aldermen $12,000 annually.

The resolution also allows for a $2,000 annual increase for the mayor and $1,000 annual increase for the vice mayor and aldermen in 2020 and also in 2024.

Rising Wolf River swallows teenager’s SUV, inflatable raft

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

In a sequence of events the cliché “perfect storm” would it, teenager Joel Porter lost his car to the backwaters of the looded Wolf River west of Germantown Parkway on Sunday.

Porter discovered his Toyota 4Runner submerged in the loodwaters along the access road to the trails on the north side — the Memphis side — of the river. The car was not visible from the narrow road where the water slapped against the shoulder and crossed the access in other places. What was visible was Porter and two of his friends wading out of the water from around a bend where the car was located.

Porter, the grandson of lawyer Joel Porter, didn’t have much

to say about the situation as he emerged, upset about losing his vehicle. He declined to comment but was overheard saying he recovered his wallet and watch from the submerged vehicle.

And the car was not the only mode of transportation lost in the escapade. An inlatable raft that started the excursion on Saturday delated on the river.

Two friends, who were with Porter both when they launched into the river Saturday afternoon and during the recovery mission Sunday, outlined the chain of events.

Davis Baty said he, Porter and Harden Perry, all students at St. George’s Independent School, launched into the river from the Germantown Parkway access about 5:30 p.m. Saturday. They were in an inlatable raft — advertised as a three-man boat.

“It was really about a one-man,” Perry said.

The river stage was about 4 feet Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

They loated toward the Wal-

around 9:30 p.m.

Lakeland: Friday, children are invited to decorate a bicycle, wagon or favorite loat for the 18th annual Children’s Independence Day Parade.

Gather at 9:30 a.m. in front of 9677 Cutter Lane. The

nut Grove bridge where they left a second car, but on the way, the “boat” popped, leaving them up the river without a raft. Among the things that went into the river were Porter’s keys. The trio swam about a half-mile and reached the bank about 9 p.m.

“By the time we got out of the river, we couldn’t go make a copy of the key,” Baty said. “(Sunday) morning, we were going to make a copy of the key to get in the car.

Then we found this.”

The overnight rains that stretched into Sunday morning caused the river to rise to 22.5 feet at that location, and the Wolf had swallowed Porter’s car. The recovery efort at that point was for Porter’s belongings, not the car.

Baty even posted a picture on his Twitter account of him standing on top of the half-submerged 4Runner. That apparently was early before the water rose more.

“Well, the Wolf River got the best of us,” Baty tweeted. “Don’t have a phone, but everyone can see us on the news/paper tomorrow.”

parade will start at 10 a.m.

AWARD from 1 of Southaven for two years prior to accepting a position with Germantown as chief planner in the department of development in 1989. He was promoted to assistant city administrator in 1993.

In 1995, Lewellen began his career with the town of Collierville as town administrator.

He is a member of the American Planning Association, the International City Manager’s Association and served as president of the Tennessee City Manager’s Association in 2011.

In April 2014, Lewellen was honored by the Rotary Club of Memphis East as the recipient of the 2014 Dunavant Public Servant Award, which is presented annually to a nonelected oicial for their commitment to public service.

“In municipal government, some people are born leaders, extraordinary visionaries with the innate ability to solve complex problems, tackle large scale projects and guide people toward a common goal. In Collierville, that person is James Lewellen.” said Mike Walker, executive director of TCMA.

Collierville piano and voice teacher Matthew T. Williams, 28, was arrested June 25 on charges he sexually assaulted a child.

He is being held at the Shelby County Jail and is set to make his irst court appearance July 24 in Collierville.

Williams is in the county jail because Collierville is a short-term facility and can hold prisoners only 72 hours before they appear in court or are moved to the county until their court date.

According to his proile on LinkedIn, Williams was a piano and voice teacher at Hope Presbyterian Church as well as the Cordova Music Academy.

Once Hope Presbyterian oicials learned late Saturday that Williams had been arrested, Williams’ contract was terminated immediately.

Collierville woman shot outside home

Collierville police are searching for a suspect in an apparent robbery the night of June 27 that left a woman shot “multiple times.”

Police received the call at 9:23 to Bechers Brook Cove, a residential area just off Grand Steeple Drive east of Town Square, said Capt. Chris Locke, Criminal Investigations Division commander.

Locke said the victim was able to communicate with police after the incident. She was taken to a nearby hospital.

Neighbor Wendy Carter said she and her husband were grilling out when she heard “four or ive shots” followed by screaming. Police blocked the entrances to the neighborhood, but had opened it back up by 11:30, she said.

Police Friday night could not conirm whether there had been any similar recent incidents in the area.

Regions Bank pulls out of Tenn. Walking Horse event

By Heidi Hall The Tennessean

NASHVILLE — Regions Bank announced it is withdrawing its support from the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, the sport’s premier event held in Shelbyville beginning each August.

A two-sentence, e-mailed statement from Birmingham, Alabama-based Regions said the move was “a business decision based on how we allocate our

resources,” and a spokesman so far has declined to elaborate.

The decision comes as support builds for a federal Horse Protection Act rewrite that would end the Celebration as most people know it — banning the use of tall horseshoes and chains that mark the sport’s world grand championship.

Celebration CEO Mike Inman said Regions has been a sponsor for several years — beginning with the local branch before the event gained the corpo-

GIVING BACK

rate sponsorship — and gave $20,000 last year. He said bank oicials told him it was purely a business decision based on return on investment of sponsorship dollars.

Inman said the Celebration will be looking for new sponsors to replace Regions.

The Celebration’s last corporate sponsorship loss to make headlines was Pepsi in 2012 — announced a few weeks after the release of a Humane Society of the United States undercov-

er video of former Celebration Hall of Famer Jackie McConnell of Collierville abusing a horse.

He was convicted of violating the Horse Protection Act and banned for life from the Celebration grounds.

The proposed Prevent All Soring Tactics Act has about 300 bipartisan co-sponsors in the House and 57 in the Senate.

It would put inspections for soring — intentionally hurting the breed’s feet or legs to emphasize its naturally longer, higher gait

— directly in the hands of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Currently, private horse inspection organizations do that work, with the USDA randomly visiting shows.

Opponents of the bill argue that it will kill the sport, crush Shelbyville’s economy and not really end soring. Sen. Lamar Alexander and U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn are ofering bills that strengthen the Horse Protection Act but protect the sport’s performance division.

Clean Memphis works for clean city

By Jeremy C. Park Special to The Weekly

Look at any historical statistics for our city and you will quickly ind that Memphis is the only ive-time winner of the “Nation’s Cleanest City” award. This distinction is deinitely praise worthy, but the reality is that it is a “historical” statistic that now needs to serve as motivation for us Jeremy C. to work Park hard, day after day, to regain our title. Taking ownership and having the civic pride to clean up our neighborhoods, ighting litter and blight, goes beyond the aesthetics. A cleaner city helps reduce crime, creates safer streets and a healthier environment, and serves as an economic driver attracting more tourists and families to our community.

One of the groups focused on cleaning up our city and engaging citizens in the efort is Clean Memphis. Founded in 2008 by a group of concerned Memphians, the group’s mission is to make Memphis the cleanest city in the country.

Clean Memphis has three strategies to accomplish this mission: community partnerships, highproile sweeps, and environmental education and service learning projects.

Clean Memphis uses partnerships with businesses, schools, neighborhood associations, and other organizations to coordinate large routine cleanups. It works with code enforcement issues and helps secure resources to ight blight and empower citizens to take control of their neighborhoods.

The group conducts more than 270 “sweeps” per year of high proile areas, like Downtown and along Shelby Farms Greenline, as well as neighborhoods in need.

Some of these sweeps use volunteers while others use minimum security inmates and court-appointed community service workers to pick up trash.

Understanding the importance of being proactive with environmental education, Clean Memphis ofers free in-school programs and activities for Memphis youth. This includes 3-dimensional watershed and landill/ recycling demonstrations and fun service projects.

Throughout the process, students learn how littering and pollution afect our city and quality of life.

Clean Memphis makes cleaning up Memphis easy and fun. Register with family and friends to participate in the weekly trash sweeps. Cleanups are rewarding, as you see an immediate impact; and they are valuable learning experiences because, after participating, you will never litter again.

Jerry’s Sno Cones is known for its many lavors and long lines. Another Jerry’s will open of Germantown Parkway within a year.

Jerry’s goes to the ’burbs Second snow cone stand coming next year

By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

The city’s most popular snow cone stand will have a second location open by next summer, assuming “all the right doors open,” said owner David Acklin.

Acklin, who purchased the building from L.B. Clifton about 10 years ago, said he’s purchased

an acre of Germantown Parkway around AutoZone and Aldi, a bit south of the intersection at Dexter.

“It’s a little premature — I think someone just got a little too excited and started talking about it, but we’re going to open a second Jerry’s,” Acklin said.

“Hopefully by next summer, but as soon as we can, anyway.”

The new location will serve

the same snow cones — about 100 lavors — that have made the stand, located in an old service station on Wells Station, a longtime favorite around the city and earned it national press in publications such as The Washington Post. But Acklin wants to emphasize his food and said he will probably change the name of both shops to Jerry’s Sno Cones and Burger Shack.

“My burgers are old-school,” he said. “We hand-form the patties every day. We use Nathan’s

hot dogs and deep fry them, so you know it doesn’t get much better than that.”

He’s not sure if the new shop will have a dining room, but he knows he’ll have a drive-thru window, outside seating and a movie screen.

And for folks dismayed about the long lines at the 1657 Wells Station location, take heart: Last week Acklin opened a second line for orders.

“It really makes a big diference,” he said.

A driver takes his eyes of the road to use an iPhone while driving in Los Angeles. Among teen drivers, 41 percent had texted or e-mailed behind the wheel in the previous month, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Texting while driving and spending too much time playing video games and watching TV are among the behaviors riskiest to teens, the CDC said.

Driven 2 distraction Teens smoke, drink, ight less — but screens are a problem

DRINKING Fewer teens said they drank alcohol. Drinking of soda was down, too. About 35 percent said they had had booze in the previous month, down from 39 percent in 2011. About 27 percent said they drank soda each day. That was only a slight change from 2011 but a sizable drop from 34 percent in 2007.

By Mike Stobbe

SEX

Associated Press

NEW YORK — American teens are smoking less, drinking less and fighting less. But they’re texting behind the wheel and spending a lot of time on video games and computers, according to the government’s latest study of worrisome behavior.

The proportion of teens who had sex in the previous three months held steady at about 34 percent from 2011. Among them, condom use was unchanged at about 60 percent.

SUICIDE The percentage who attempted suicide in the previous year held steady at about 8 percent.

Generally speaking, the news is good. Most forms of drug use, weapons use and risky sex have been going down since the government started doing the survey every two years in 1991. Teens are wearing bicycle helmets and seat belts more, too.

“Overall, young people have more healthy behaviors than they did 20 years ago,” said Dr. Stephanie Zaza, who oversees the study at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The results come from a study of 13,000 U.S. high school students last spring. Participation was voluntary and required parental permission, but responses were anonymous.

Attendees play video games on the PlayStation 4 during the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

SMOKING

AP PHoTo/GENE J. PUSKAr

Fewer than 16 percent of the teens smoked a cigarette in the previous month — the lowest level since the government started doing the survey, when the rate was more than 27 percent. Another CDC study had already put the teen smoking rate below 16 percent, but experts tend to treat this survey’s result as the official number.

It’s “terrific news for America’s health,” said Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. Even so, there are still about 2.7 million teens smoking, he said.

The survey did not ask about electronic cigarettes, which have exploded in popularity in the past few years.

Meanwhile, more than 23 percent of teens said they used marijuana in the previous month — up from 15 percent in 1991. CDC officials said they could not tell whether marijuana or e-cigarettes have replaced traditional cigarettes among teens.

Johnnae Morris, 16, a team manager for the Blue Springs High School football team, relaxes while texting in the press box at the end of practice at the school in Blue Springs, Mo.

MEDIA USE TV viewing for three or more hours a day has stalled at around 32 percent since 2011. But one of the largest jumps seen in the survey was a surge in the proportion of kids who spent three or more hours on an average school day on other kinds of recreational screen time, such as playing video or computer games or using a computer or smartphone for something other than schoolwork. That number rose to 41 percent, from 31 percent in 2011.

Health experts advise that teens get no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day, and that includes all screens — including Xboxes, smartphones and televisions.

Although video-gaming is up, particularly among teen boys, some researchers believe most of the screen-time increase is due to social media use. And it’s probably not a good thing, they say.

Through texts and social media, young people are doing more communicating and living in an online world in which it’s easier to think they’re the center of the universe, said Marina Krcmar, a Wake Forest University professor who studies teen screen time. That can lead to a form of extended adolescence, she said.

It can also distract youngsters from schoolwork, exercise and other healthy activities, she said.

FIGHTING

AP PHoTo THE KANSAS CITy STAr, AllISoN loNG, FIlE

TEXTING Among teen drivers, 41 percent had texted or emailed behind the wheel in the previous month. That figure can’t be compared to the 2011 survey, though, because the CDC changed the question this time. The latest survey gives texting-while-driving figures for 37 states — ranging from 32 percent in Massachusetts to 61 percent in South Dakota.

Fights at school fell by half in the past 20 years. And there was a dramatic drop in kids reporting they had been in a ight anywhere in the preceding year — about 25 percent, down from 33 percent two years earlier. The addition of more guards and other security measures may be a factor, said school violence expert Todd DeMitchell of the University of New Hampshire.

Fighting may be down, but it’s not uncommon, according to some teens at the High School of Fashion Industries in lower Manhattan.

Two students said they saw roughly one ight a week.

“It’s like ‘The Hunger Games,”’ said 14-year-old Maya Scott. She said she had been in a ight during the current school year.

A few minutes later, as if to prove her point, three girls exchanged words and nearly came to blows outside the front entrance before a school lunch worker stepped in and separated them.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES

‘A great day’ Randolph’s deal, Stokes’ arrival reason to smile He tried to keep a straight face, he really did. But given the circumstances, it was just about impossible.

Grizzlies interim general manager Chris Wallace was asked about the news that the Grizzlies a nd Zach Randolph had agreed to a two-year contract extension .

Zach Wallace said Randolph he couldn’t comment on the report just yet.

So someone — OK, it was me — suggested a diferent approach.

“Smile if it’s true, frown if it’s not,” I said.

And Wallace really, really tried to not react.

But how could anyone who cares about the Memphis NBA franchise not smile at a time like that?

How could anyone who understands the connection between Randolph and his adopted city not beam about the news that Z-Bo will be around another three years?

Z-Bo is staying.

Wallace is grinning.

You should feel free to do a jig.

Last Friday was a happy day for the Grizzlies, who introduced Jordan Adams and Jarnell Stokes as their newest players, and struck a deal to make sure one of their most beloved current players is sticking around.

“It’s a great day for us,” said Wallace, who was technically referring to the two newest Griz but with words that certainly it the broader theme.

Randolph could have opted out of his contract this offseason. Negotiations on an extension hit a “snag” earlier in the week.

But the Grizzlies and Ran-

Bill Dance gets Distinguished Citizen Award

Nikki BoerTmaN/The CommerCial appeal

Newest Grizzlies Jordan Adams (left) and Jarnell Stokes made last Friday a day for optimism when combined with the news that star forward Zach Randolph had agreed to stay with the team.

dolph kept working at it, and reached a deal by which Randolph will play this season for the $16.5 million owed to him under his current contract, then play two more years for $10 million a year.

That’s an entirely reasonable result for both parties.

It will give the Grizzlies some serious inancial lexibility next ofseason. When Randolph said he would be willing to take less to stay in Memphis and help the team win, he wasn’t messing around.

As for the Grizzlies, they understood they have a two- or three-year window to compete for championships. But to take advantage of that, they had to retain — and then add to — their essential core.

“We won 50 or more games each of the last two years,” said Wallace. “This team is in a position to continue to win. It’s a matter of inding the right pieces to augment what we already have.”

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

Which brings us back to the news conference, and the two newcomers, the larger of whom needed no introduction to the town.

Stokes was born at Methodist South. His mother, Shunta, is a former volleyball player from White Station High School, class of ’89.

“He’s always been a big kid,” said Shunta.

Always?

“He was 11 pounds, 3 ounces when he was born,” said Shunta. “I had him natural.”

So now we know where Stokes got his toughness.

Stokes is the irst Memphis player who really grew up watching the Grizzlies.

Dine In and Drive-In Restaurants

He was a season-ticket holder in the cheap seats when he was in high school. Next game, he’ll have a considerably better view.

“It’s surreal,” said Stokes.

“I was just — two or three years ago — a fan.”

Stokes held up a No. 2 jersey, previously worn by Jason Williams. But J-Will isn’t the player who used to catch Stokes’ eye the most.

“I really liked Zach Randolph,” he said. “I really liked how he used his leverage, how he was able to ind ways to make it happen when guys would continuously doubt him. I deinitely would like to learn from a guy like Zach Randolph.”

Now Stokes can do just that. Not just today, but for the next three years. Sometimes, life just sort of clicks.

Z-Bo is staying in Memphis. Jarnell Stokes is back in Memphis.

So go on, Chris Wallace, smile!

Since 1972, the list of winners of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl Distinguished Citizen Award has included world-class businessmen, legendary entertainers and giants of the college football coaching world.

Now it includes the world’s most famous isherman as well.

During Sunday’s 20th annual Liberty Bowl Golf Classic Pairings Party Dinner at the Hilton Memphis Hotel, ishing Bill legend Bill Dance of Eads Dance was presented the Distinguished Citizen Award, placing his name alongside giants like FedEx CEO Fred Smith, football coaching legend Paul “Bear” Bryant and AutoZone founder Pitt Hyde.

For perhaps the irst time in his long career as an entertainer, Dance was nearly speechless.

“To see my name among the many notable people who’ve received this award is overwhelming — especially because of the support this program tonight is providing for the children of St. Jude,” Dance said. “Helping someone in need is what life is all about, and seeing all of these people in this room here to help St. Jude tonight is amazing.”

Dignitaries present at the ceremony included Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, Bass Pro Shops owner Johnny Morris and Tim Weiser, the deputy commissioner of the Big 12 Conference.

Morris said he made the trip from his home in Springield, Mo., to see his longtime friend receive the special honor.

“I’m here because I think the world of this guy,” said Morris, who founded the irst Bass Pro Shops store in his hometown and built the business into a nationwide chain. “We opened our irst Bass Pro Shops in 1972, and Bill came up for the grand opening. I just can’t express what a supporter Bill has been — not just to Bass Pro — but to the sport of ishing and the outdoors as a whole.”

Dance was one of the most successful professional bass anglers of the 1960s and ’70s, and many believe he would have made millions on the pro trail if he hadn’t chosen a career in television.

“I’m one of the luckiest men alive because I’ve been able to take a hobby and turn it into a profession,” Dance said.

“I’m honored to be on a list with these ine people, and I’m honored to be here ... with all of you helping St. Jude tonight.”

There when you need us.

Families LIVING WITH CHILDREN

DON’T SHARE

BED WITH BABY Pediatricians warn practice risky to infants

By John Rosemond McClatchy-tribune news Service

26-month-old Q My daughter will go on the

potty happily every hour when told (we’re using your “potty bell” and it’s working extremely well) and produces every time. As a result, she’s having very few wee incidents. However, we still have to catch her before an impending bowel movement (she usually begins releasing gas) and rush to get her to the potty. She will sit and poop on the potty, but at day care they can’t watch her every second, and therefore she often poops in her pants there. How can I get her to tell us when she needs to go poop?

By The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In May, a 29-year-old Kansas City woman fell asleep in her bed with her three children, including a 6-month-old boy.

When she awoke about six hours later, she found his lifeless body at the foot of her bed, under a cover.

Police who arrived at her doorstep saw her cuddling the baby. Tears streaked her face.

“He’s dead!” she screamed.

It marked the sixth time this year that a baby died while sleeping at home in Kansas City.

None of the babies, who ranged from 11 days to 10 months old, was in his or her own bed.

The tragedies put the city on pace for a deadlier-than-usual year for bed-sharing infants.

“It is such an overlooked topic,” said Amanda Pickman, whose 7-month-old son, Madden, died in 2012 while sleeping in Pickman’s bed in Kansas City. “You don’t know until it happens to you.”

The deaths continue to increase nationally despite a campaign by the American Academy of Pediatrics to avoid bed-sharing and eforts by advocates to promote safe-sleeping guidelines for infants. The academy came out against the practice of bed-sharing in 2005, but other experts continue to defend it under speciic circumstances, including, most important, if the mother is breast-feeding.

The rift between the academy’s directive to always avoid bed-sharing and the other experts who think bed-sharing is beneicial and biologically based can confuse parents. Plus, guilt, shame and embarrassment often prevent open discussions of the topic, leaving more parents even more in the dark.

“The bed-sharing issue is contentious,” said Pete Potts, the Western region program and bereavement coordinator with Missouri’s SIDS Resources. “It is fraught with controversy.”

Most experts agree there are ways to minimize the risks, no matter where the babies sleep, by putting them on their backs and avoiding soft bedding, heavy blankets, pillows and maternal smoking.

But sometimes even those precautions aren’t enough.

One night in April 2012, little Madden Pickman acted particularly fussy.

Amanda Pickman had taken her two older children into her bed without problems. Comfortable with the practice, she thought it might help soothe Madden.

To be safe, she removed the bed pillows and pushed her blankets to the bottom of the bed.

Then she put him on his back.

Her husband was out of town, so they had the bed to themselves. She fell asleep. During the night, she rolled away from Madden, leaving her back to him.

More than ive hours later, the sun came up and her 4-year-

Surrounded by memories of Madden (his crib, changing dresser and shadow boxes), Amanda Pickman wears a shirt with a note to Madden, as she kisses her son Malachi in their bedroom in Kansas City, Mo. The Pickmans lost a baby, Madden, due to positional asphyxia.

WHEN A BABY SLEEPS though the topic of bed-sharing is controversial, most experts agree parents should: ■ Avoid co-sleeping on a couch or chair.

■ Put infants to sleep on their backs on irm surfaces, away from cigarette smoke, and remove stufed animals, heavy blankets, crib bumpers and pillows.

■ Not allow siblings to share a bed with an infant.

old son bounded into the room, wanting to help change his little brother’s diaper.

As her preschooler chattered away, Pickman realized the baby hadn’t made a sound. She rolled over to check him.

Madden remained on his back, just as she had left him. But his lips were blue, his lesh cold.

She scooped him up and blew into his mouth. It was too late.

Every year, more than 4,000 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly in the United States.

Barring an undiagnosed medical or criminal cause,

these deaths are iled in three categories: sufocation; sudden infant death syndrome, when a medical examiner has ruled out other causes; and undetermined, used when authorities didn’t conduct a scene investigation and autopsy.

Advocates launched a national “Back to Sleep” campaign in 1994 urging parents to put their babies to sleep on their backs.

Parents responded. Deaths from SIDS dropped by more than half between 1992 and 2001.

Meanwhile, deaths from other sleep-related incidents — including sufocation, entrapment and asphyxia — increased, according to the academy’s journal. Better awareness and reporting might have contributed to the higher numbers, they said.

The ability to track national statistics is limited because death certiicates don’t include the circumstances leading to death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has started a case registry that should provide more data in the future.

But 70 percent of infants who died from 2005 to 2008 had been on a surface not intended

for infant sleep, according to a nine-state study published in the American Journal of Public Health. Sixty-four percent had been sharing a sleep surface, including almost half sleeping with an adult, the study noted.

After her baby’s death, Pickman researched infant deaths.

She was surprised to discover a mountain of unfamiliar information.

She became an advocate for safe sleep practices and started a Facebook page under the name Madd-Saac, combining the names of her son and another baby who died just weeks apart. The group sponsors an annual event in October to raise money for Missouri’s SIDS Resources Center.

She believes parents should avoid bed-sharing. But changing parents’ beliefs and habits is an uphill battle, Pickman said.

“So many women think (after a baby dies) that you’re just doing it wrong,” she said of bedsharing. “They believe there’s a safe way to do it. But there isn’t.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies sleep in the same room as their parents, but not in the same bed.

you’re describing a process that some kids “get” more quickly than others. Eventually, but only if you don’t make a big deal of this — in other words, only if you don’t slip into anxiety and impatience — your daughter is going to get it.

The good news is she’s cooperating with you. That means you’re doing everything right and just need to hang in there. In that regard, I’m glad to hear that you’re using the potty bell, because that’s going to help your daughter begin anticipating her need to use the potty and establish good potty habits.

For the new reader, the potty bell is simply a timer that the parent sets to go of at 60- to 90-minute intervals. When it goes of, the parent simply tells the child (authoritatively, mind you), “There’s the potty bell. That means you need to go sit on the potty and wee or poop. Tell me when you’re done.” Using the potty bell usually circumvents any resistance the child might muster.

Two suggestions: ■ By this age, usually, a child is pooping about the same time or times every day, usually 15-30 minutes after a meal and/ or 30 minutes after waking up in the morning. If that’s true of your daughter, then set the potty bell to ring on that schedule.

Anticipate! Be proactive, but be careful not to begin micromanaging.

■ Once you’re over the hump at home, this new skill should transfer quickly to day care, but they ought to be anticipating her bowel movements as well. I bet they take place right after lunch or snack.

By the way, George Harrison wrote a famous song that applies to this process: “All Things Must Pass.” I know, bad joke. I’ll try to do better next time.

Bridge Builders program teaches kids unity, teamwork As our children grow older, they grow closer to each other. They’re more willing to get along and coexist harmoniously in the limited space of our home.

It’s a wonderful feeling; it’s all that we’ve hoped for as parents from the very irst days.

Still, though, they backslide. They bicker and argue over things as inconsequential as a spot on the sofa or a diference in perspective.

Memphis, too, grows and ages and, hopefully, matures. Yet even as it moves forward, becoming more progressive on issues of growth and development, we backslide.

In past weeks, interest groups and Memphis Zoo leaders have been bicker-

RICHARD J. ALLEY BECAUSE I SAID SO

ing over land the way my kids argue over that spot on the couch.

Other groups have become embroiled in the most inane argument of all: Who is the most minority?

It’s like my children discussing which of them is my favorite (I’ll never tell).

This public discussion has devolved into public namecalling, water-throwing and an arrest.

It was against this civic backdrop that we sent two

of our kids, Somerset and Joshua, rising seventh- and eighth-graders respectively, to Bridges recently for the summer Bridge Builders COLLABORATE program. In a building that acts as a bridge itself — on the edge of Downtown, Uptown, the Medical District and North Memphis — 114 young people from 32 ZIP codes came together to learn how to work as one.

The issues of the day weren’t the focus, not in so many words. No one read them headlines from the newspaper or a long list of acerbic statuses and comments from Facebook.

Instead, the college-age facilitators led groups of kids through exercises meant to instill conidence, leadership qualities, unity and

teamwork.

My kids didn’t want to go, be sure of that. They’re preteens and only recently inished with school, so they were looking forward to long summer days spent lounging on the couch, arguing over who sits where.

“Why do we have to go?” they asked up until that very morning.

“Because you’ll like it,” I said, again and again.

“You’ll meet new people, it’ll build character and it will give you something to do all day.”

This was one of the few instances of my being right; they loved it from the irst day. They loved the people in charge, the kids in their groups, the games and workshops, and the lunches.

I picked them up that irst day and, as they described the activities, the themes of the week shined through — they worked together to complete tasks, they had to choose leaders, they had to select a workshop of their own interests to focus on throughout the week.

There was a day of community service when the kids went into the surrounding neighborhood to pick up trash.

The trash wasn’t theirs, but they cleaned anyway.

These future leaders will one day be cleaning our messes. Because of Bridge Builders, they’ll be better equipped and more eager to do so. They’ve learned the skills at a time when current leaders have trou-

ble putting petty diferences aside to work toward a common solution.

As Cynthia Ham, president and CEO of Bridges, said to the crowd of kids and their parents at the induction ceremony on the last day, “No matter what you end up doing, I hope you will hold sacred what you learned this week at Bridge Builders and know that you can make a diference, especially in Memphis.”

Travel Luca Simeone, founder of bikesharing start up called “bike tour Napoli,” left, pedals along a cyclists’ path in Naples, Italy.

Naples has a wide pedestrian beachfront and a 20-kilometer (20-mile) cycling lane overlooking a beautiful bay.

Once considered eco-hostile for cyclists, Naples finds clean is cool

N

APLES, Italy — Luca Simeone rides his bike along the sunny beachfront of Naples while his little daughter sleeps on the baby seat.

It may sound ordinary, but this simple act is revolutionary. Three years ago Naples’ seafront was an urban highway, noisy and smoggy, jammed with car traic, while smelly trash erupted from garbage bins along streets and alleys. Urban cyclers were regarded as eco-fundamentalists.

Three years later, Naples has a new mayor, clean streets, a wide pedestrian beachfront and a 12-mile cycling lane overlooking a beautiful bay. This is the liberated beachfront (“Il lungomare liberato”), as the new mayor, Luigi De Magistris, a former prosecutor and party outsider, calls it.

The liberated beachfront quickly became a paradise for runners, cyclists and also those who love pizza or ish, with the sound of waves as background music and the island of Capri and sleepy Vesuvius volcano framing the view of the bay.

The transformation also allowed Simeone to launch a bike tour business.

“A new era has opened for those who love to ride a bicycle in our city,” said Simeone. “Today we can say that speaking about sustainable and environment-friendly tourism, like our project, is reality and not fantasy anymore.”

Bike Tour Napoli — biketournapoli.com — offers both an urban route along the city’s UNESCOprotected ancient center and a countryside tour, with organic food tasting included. The tours wind through tiny medieval alleys and past baroque churches, around volcanic lakes of the Pozzuoli area, the Vesuvius volcano and the breathtaking Amali coast. The most popular route is a ride past art nouveau villas, parks and up Posillipo hill for a view of Naples and its bay.

Anja Hayek from Germany and Antonio Sorace of Italy recently rode up the hill to enjoy the sunset. “This is the only good way to visit and know Naples,” Hayek said. “I found it very nice this year, the bicycle lanes and the pedestrian area by the sea.

I found it very beautiful.”

Naples is planning to extend the cycling lanes

Tourists soak up a sunset by kayak tour along the Posillipo coastline in Naples. The scenic Italian city has a new ecologically savvy mayor and a new attitude that have made the old city’s seafront a popular destination.

into the suburbs.

For Simeone, the success of his tours represents more than just business. It’s also a way to stop the brain drain. Youth unemployment in Naples is 50 percent. Migration abroad or to the industrialized north is the norm as talented young people leave to ind work. The local maia syndicate Camorra has long taken advantage of the lack of jobs to gain recruits for illegal businesses.

But the green revolution gives hope to those like Simeone who want to erase the image of Naples as a city of garbage and pollution.

“We bet on a revolution of transportation,” explained De Magistris from his oice overlooking

the port and a new metro construction site. He recalled his parents trying to squash a childhood love of cycling, saying, “Stop this passion, because in Naples you can’t ride a bicycle in the streets.”

Now, more locals are using bike lanes, pedestrian areas have been improved, and some 2.4 million visitors are staying in Naples hotels each year, with the numbers growing.

The expansion of the metro system will add to the environmental improvements for this city of 1 million (4 million in the metro area). The metro also connects riders to art. At the Toledo station, a ride down the escalators reveals works of bright blue representing the sea. “Oh, it is very beautiful.

It is like plunging into the sea,” said Pierre Bonini, a tourist from Paris, at the bottom of the escalator.

But pure blue water is not just an art motif.

Thanks to improved wastewater management, pollution has been reduced and vast stretches of the coast have been reclaimed. Neapolitans and tourists now swim again in the bay. And young kayak enthusiasts have launched Kayak Napoli — kayaknapoli.com/home — eng.html. A few motorboat tours had previously been ofered, but they were not allowed — as the kayaks are — to enter the marine park of la Gaiola and the Trentaremi bay, which contains submerged ruins of ancient Roman villas.

Giovanni Brun, founder of Kayak Napoli, brings guests to see the submerged archaeological sites and other beautiful coastal spots. His full moon tour ofers a sunset paddle with a return as the moon relects on the waters of the bay. The trip includes one other special moment: An aperitif of white wine on a secluded beach.

Top 5 Reasons to

Buy an American Made Car

QUALITY IS UP. Consumer Reports says that some Ford vehicles “now rival the best from Japan.” In the latest J.D.Power dependability study, GM’s Buick division tied with Jaguar for the top spot, beating

out Lexus and Toyota. And in 8 of 11 car segments, a GM model came in as one of the top three vehicles. Not all Detroit products are top-notch, so buyers should be sure to check individual car ratings at sites like Consumer Reports (which charges a fee), or U.S.News’s Best Cars and Trucks, which is free.

THEY’VE GOT YOUR BACK. GM and Ford recently rolled out “payment protection plans,” at no extra charge, that will cover your monthly payment for several months if you lose your job. Ford’s plan covers up to 12 months of payments as high as $700 per month. GM’s plan covers up to nine months of payments, up to $500 per month.

(They’re both copying Hyundai, which started ofering three months of payment protection in January.) And GM has a separate plan to make cash payouts to buyers who purchase a GM vehicle today but can’t aford to trade it in down the road, because they owe more than the vehicle is worth. As with all promotions, buyers should read the ine

print, scan for surprise exclusions, and make sure they buy a car that suits their needs and its their budget, regardless of incentives.

STYLING IS COOL. There’s still a kind of muscular styling that’s uniquely American, evident in vehicles like the forthcoming Chevy Camaro, the Dodge Charger, the Pontiac G8 and the Ford Mustang.

When other makes try to mimic American muscle cars, the result is often more comical than compelling. And nobody can replicate the rugged appeal of Jeep, which remains one of the world’s most iconic brands despite reliability that’s consistently below average.

Strip e

s

THEY’RE A BARGAIN. The Detroit 3 know they need to try harder in order to sell cars, which means they often price less them below top models from Toyota, Honda, and other competitors. The Ford Fusion, Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord are all priced about the same, for instance, and all have similar quality ratings. But Ford is ofering rebates of up to $3,500 on the Fusion, while Chevy is ofering

SUNRISE SALUTES

0 percent inancing on the Malibu. Toyota, by contrast, is discounting the Camry by just $1,500, and Honda ofers no discounts on the Accord. Big discounts–a Detroit staple for years–often means a lower trade-in value down the road, but for many buyers it helps buy a decent ride today.

TO SUPPORT A CAUSE. Many Americans oppose the bailout of GM and Chrysler, but others feel it’s time to show some support for the home team. Boosting the American automotive industry could save jobs, help spur the development of new technologies here instead of overseas, and maybe even lead to Detroit’s resurgence. Buying one of their cars is one way for ordinary individuals to try to make a small diference, the same way environmentalists might buy a hybrid, even if it doesn’t save them money. So maybe it’s time to park some patriotism in your driveway.

By vowing to honor the warranties for cars built by General Motors and Chrysler, the Obama administration has removed a bit of the stigma associated with the two troubled automakers. Both need billions in emergency government loans to remain solvent and transform their operations, and bankruptcy remains an option. By pledging to stand behind the warranties, the government removes the fear that buyers may be spending lots of cash on a product the manufacturer won’t be able to support if it goes out of business.

Community GERMANTOWN

In brief

Local au pairs relax with spa day

Movie Mania at Carriage Crossing The next Movie Mania at Carriage Crossing will be July 11 with a showing of “Despicable Me 2.� Every other Friday night, a free, family friendly movie will be show at Carriage Crossing. The movies begin at dusk.

Special The Weekly

During this busy summer season, many parents and nannies ind themselves looking for ways to unwind and relax during the short bits of free time they have available.

Everyone needs some relaxation and that is exactly what a group of Au Pair Care au pairs and their host moms enjoyed during a recent weekend.

An au pair is an international nanny between the ages of 18-27 who lives with her hosting family and provides loving support and care.

During the summer when schedules are most hectic, the lexible care option provides the perfect solution for a number of local families.

Area director Kelcie Phillips invited a group of local au pairs, their host moms and their daughters over to her Germantown home to enjoy an afternoon of relaxation and a chance to be pampered.

Kathy Maples of BeautiControl facilitated the event and everyone enjoyed a mineral scrub for their hands, a lip peel, facial and a foot massage. Kathy also had warm damp washcloths infused with peppermint oils and everyone placed them on their face to spend a couple of minutes truly relaxing.

No spa party would be complete without a sweet treat so Phillips prepared cofee punch, cookies and cofee cake. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for everyone to bond together in a relaxing setting while enhancing the strong ties they

On Jan. 12, 2013, Paige Thomas received a phone call from a bystander notifying her that her son, Chase Davis, had experienced a devastating fall while hiking in Chattanooga, where he was a student at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.

Davis had been hiking with two of his friends when he fell 20 feet and was barely conscious. He was airlifted to a local hospital, Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga, where he remained in the trauma ICU for a month.

During that month, Davis was on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma. After his stay, Davis was transferred to a rehab center in Atlanta that specializes in patients with brain injuries. He was discharged home after two months.

He wasn’t responsive to www.commercialappeal.com treatments until six months later when he had surgery to replace the bone lap in his brain. After that sur-

theme for this year’s vacation Bible school at Germantown Church of Christ.

ACHIEVEMENT

MUS senior Yunhua Zhao takes part in Governor’s School

By Rebecca Greer Special to The Weekly

Yunhua Zhao, Memphis University School rising senior, is attending Tennessee Governor’s School for the Sciences and Engineering at University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The Governor’s School is a challenging and intensive summer program for gifted and talented high school students. The school ofers 12 areas of study ranging from the arts and humanities to scientiic models and data analysis.

Zhao, a Collierville resident, is studying materials science and engineering for four weeks. In the irst week of this course, students are introduced to the mechanical properties of several diferent classes of materials and concepts of stress and strain, elastic and plastic deformation and hardness.

The second week, students explore various materials at the atomic level and how physical properties of diferent materials are related to the atomic struc-

tures. The inal two weeks of the course cover polymeric materials and biomaterials. In addition to lectures, there are handson activities, tours and tutored problem solving.

“This program is allowing me to see irsthand what engineers actually do, as well as the work involved in laboratory research,” Zhao said. “It is a great opportunity to experience something that conventional high-school classes cannot teach.”

Materials science and engineering is a discipline that is on the leading edge of technology through the development of new materials and the improvement of existing materials for applications in all engineering fields. Modern engineering materials are used in a broad spectrum of products, including automobiles, aircraft and spacecraft, jet and rocket engines, surgical implants, computers, cellphones, optical displays, textiles and sports equipment.
