Memphis and Collierville residents began to roll out their new, bigger 90-plus gallon recycling carts last week and Lakeland residents followed suit Mon-day.

Collierville began its recycling collection this week with 95-gallon maroon carts. During the past month, the city has delivered 9,330 carts to existing and new recyclers at some of the 14,500 households in town.

Memphis has delivered more than 15,000 of its 38,000 gray recycle carts to areas of Cordova, parts of Hickory Hill and the subdivisions of Countrywood, Berryhill and Hillshire leading to Eads.

The rest of the 96-gallon carts will be delivered between now and July 15 as phase one of the rollout.

Germantown Munici-pal Schools leaders are telling parents to assume start times will remain the same for the upcom-ing school year.

The district is waiting for bus contractor Dur-ham to supply final costs for if it switches from three bell times to two or adjusts Houston High and Houston Middle’s start time from 7 a.m. to even 15 minutes later. Supt. Ja-son Manuel said with just

more than a month until the first day of school, his administration made an executive decision.

“As we get closer and closer, it becomes less and less probable” to switch the times, Manuel said.

The district’s student information system, Pow-erSchool, is still transfer-ring information from Shelby County Schools for the bus router to know how many buses and routes are needed.

With the lack of infor-mation, Manuel said, the risk of adding another variable by changing the times is too great.

The school board vot-ed in May to advise the administration to move

to “less than three start times ... as soon as pos-sible.” Members of the community spoke at board meetings advocat-ing for a change in the start times, particularly the 7 a.m. start.

Board President Lisa Parker said the board

will work on merging the times for next year as soon as possible.

The remaining four Mem-phis regions will be added between now and Septem-ber 2015.

Lakeland has given out 4,000 of its 96-gallon blue recycle carts through a new contract with Repub-lic Waste Management. Curbside recycling col-lection started Monday in Lakeland for the new rolling carts. While Lake-land residents will still get weekly garbage and yard waste pick up, Lakeland is going to every other week for recycling collection.

All three systems are re-placing the much smaller 17- to 18-gallon residential bins. More communities are going to the larger re-cycling carts with lids.

“Not only is this more convenient and easier for Memphians, it will extend the life of our landills,” said Matoiri Spencer with Memphis Public Works.

Before the change, self-described Collierville “super recycler” Crystal Warren, 28, filled two recycle bins that she or her husband toted to the curb. “Now with the big-ger bins we won’t have to break down the cardboard. Previously, we lattened it out or cut it in half. It was really an ordeal,” she said.

By hiring two new driv-ers, buying two trucks and new carts, Collierville is keeping its recycling in-house after fours years with a private contractor.

Memphis just signed a new contract with Inland Waste to service the con-tracted areas of Memphis.

So far, Collierville has added about 500 new household recyclers among the 9,300 households to its program.

While Collierville col-lected almost $61,000 from last year’s 2,000 tons that were recycled, Collierville Public Services Director Bill Kilp pointed out that it “is not a moneymaker. We do get paid, but the cost to collect it is more than the revenues received.”

Collierville’s recycling program costs about $368,000 annually. The town saved about $79,000 by bringing the service in-house rather than hiring a private hauler.

Hoover said. “But that’s a massive change for this district,” he added, ac-knowledging that families depend on the district to provide bus service.

Hoover said he wants the contract to have speciic language acknowledging that the district will be able to move from three bell times to two bell times next year, something the board tried to pursue this year but could not because of trans-portation issues.

Manuel said he would have supported the board holding another meeting to review the inished con-tract if members were hesi-tant to, as Hoover called it, “sign a blank check.”

Parker said she was aware of concerns but that Durham had assured them they “have the ability to work on what we’re not happy with.”

Board member Natalie Williams said she is con-cerned about Durham’s treatment of its employees and whether that contrib-utes to having a hard time hiring drivers. Despite her concerns, she is conident Manuel, Parker and Owen will execute a contract that will ultimately be good for students.

tion for two start times next year.”

Houston High and Hous-ton Middle will start at 7 a.m. Riverdale and Farm-ington Elementary will start at 8 and Dogwood Elementary at 9 a.m.

Parker said ideal start times for all ive schools would be as close to 8 a.m. as possible, maybe 7:30 and 8:30. That would re-quire discussions with the Riverdale and Farmington communities about wheth-er they would support ad-justing a half-hour.

The district’s Facebook page says community input will be a signiicant part of the process.

“The Germantown Mu-nicipal School District will be releasing a survey the week of August 11th to gather further community input on implementing two school start times,” accord-ing to the Facebook post.

“We will also form a committee the week of September 1st with all stakeholders represented to begin planning imple-mentation of two school start times for the 2015-2016 school year.”

The state appeals court this week overruled an injunction preventing the annexation of the Windyke and Southwind neigh-borhoods, apparently freeing the city to move forward in taking over the 3,500 people living in that area.

However, those residents still have the right to ask the Tennes-see Supreme Court to hear an appeal. That court can choose whether to hear the case but is under no obligation to do so. The residents have 60 days to seek that appeal from the date of the ruling, which was handed down July 2.

City oicials indicated July 3 they will wait for some sign of an appeal before beginning the annexation.

“I think the resolution was reasonable and equitable,” City

Council attorney Allan Wade said. “We are developing deploy-ment plans now. I can’t tell you exactly what those are. We have an obligation under the annexa-tion ordinance to provide ser-vices to that area. In our opin-ion, we have been unlawfully delayed in doing that.”

This annexation has a long history. When the city irst made clear its intentions in the early ’90s, residents protested.

But on June 8, 2006, residents and the city signed an agreement postponing the annexation for

eight years, or until Dec. 31, 2013. That agreement, which also gave the city the right to immediately annex the commercial areas in the zone, speciically stated that the residents could not sue to prevent the annexation.

But as that annexation date approached, and after the state Legislature approved a one-year moratorium on city annexations in 2013, the residents sued, saying that the moratorium also applied to their case. Chancellor Walter Evans agreed, issuing a restrain-ing order late last year that pre-

vented the city from taking over on Dec. 31. The city appealed, and the state court in Jackson issued its ruling July 2.

“Because we conclude that the (moratorium) does not ap-ply to prohibit the annexation ordinance at issue, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and reinstate the consent order,” the ruling read.

That moratorium actually ex-pired May 15. They city sought the appeal court’s ruling because it would allow oicials to collect property taxes for the entire year.

Amanda Castano Gallego (right) gets a hug from co-worker Catherine Hutchison following the naturalization ceremo-ny. There were two ceremonies last Thursday that saw about 200 people from 87 countries gaining their citizenship.

By Jonathan A. [email protected]

901-529-2370

Maria Hernandez entered the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library last Thursday morning a Mexican national. By noon, she walked out a citizen of the United States.

“Both of my daughters are in the Air Force and my son is in the Army,” Hernandez said. “I’ve lived (in the U.S.) for 20 years. I’m almost 70 years old. It was time I became an American.”

Nearly 200 people from 87 countries became U.S. citizens during two naturalization cer-emonies held at the library.

Although these ceremonies occur several times a year and are normally limited to close family, last Thursday’s public event drew over 150 friends and family to the library. Those

who could not ind a seat leaned against the walls and took cell-phone videos of their family members as they became citi-zens.

“This is a big day for these new citizens,” said Lynuel W. Dennis, ield oice director for the U.S. Citizenship and Immi-gration Services. “It takes a lot of work to get to this point.”

Before they can become Americans, Dennis said people must irst pass a civic test and a reading and writing English exam. “They must also have lived in the U.S. as a lawful and permanent resident for at least ive years.”

Dennis, who presided over the morning ceremony, asked the group to stand and raise their right hands while she led them in the Oath of Alle-giance.

When Amanda Gallego

stepped outside the crowded conference room, a group of 20 family, friends and co-workers greeted her with note-card-sized American lags and patriotic bal-loons.

Gallego, a former Colombia national, smiled and raised her new certiicate of citizenship for them to see.

“I’m super excited,” said Gal-lego, who is a mentor in English as a second language in Shelby County. “It has been a long jour-ney to get to this point.”

Gallego and her husband came to Memphis 15 years ago on a tourist visa. They upgraded to work visas, explained Laura Zapata, Gallego’s 24-year-old daughter.

“It took seven years for (Gal-lego) to get permanent resident status approval,” Zapata said. “My mom then had to live as a resident for ive years before she could apply for citizenship.”

The wait was worth it, Gal-lego said. “I want to vote,” she said. “But (right now) we are going to celebrate with some Colombian food.”

By Lee Svitak DeanStar Tribune (Minneapolis)

For those cooks who pine for the spontaneity of pinching of a sprig of oregano or basil leaf, consider this: Grow your own.

I know, I know. You planted them a while back in the harsh sun, forgot to water them and they disappeared into the earth. That happens when you neglect any plant, and especially the more delicate ones.

Think of herbs as you would puppies, said Paige Pelini, co-owner of Mother Earth Gardens in Minneapolis, especially if you’re growing them in pots, where they need attention every day. In the ground, they’re more self-suicient, but they still need an inch of water a week. That’s not a lot of efort for plants that have such an impact on dinner.

There’s not much more to growing them than that. Really. Pelini and Bonnie Dehn of Dehn’s Garden in Andover, Minn., of-fer their tips on putting together a kitchen garden of herbs.

START WITH THE BASIC FOUR ■ Plant only a few herbs until you are

comfortable with the results. A typical starter kit includes parsley, basil, chives and mint. For parsley, you have two options: the curly variety, its familiar wave a garnish on many restaurant plates, and the Italian lat-leaf that’s more often used in cooking. Whichever your preference, don’t relegate it to a bit part on the menu. Toss it in salads. Add it to soups. Experiment.

■ For basil, the choices of variety are plentiful. The traditional leaves found in the produce aisle are Italian basil, the type used to make pesto. Toss those leaves into salads, too (use as you would spinach). Once you’ve tried the traditional leaf, branch out to other basils: cinnamon, for example, one of Dehn’s favorites. “I pick of the blooms and use them for potpourri. I use the leaves with chicken and ish, as well as turkey and pasta salads.”

■ Pelini uses chives as a quick pick-me-up on a dish. Dehn reaches for them daily, sprinkling them everywhere, from baked potatoes to casseroles. “Remember those little blooms — the lowers are edible, even the buds, which taste like an onion-lavored mushroom. Saute the buds or put them on a shish kebab,” she noted.

■ You can’t have a mojito without mint, which is also terriic to drop into lemon-ade or iced tea. “Bruise” the leaves so they

give up their lavor. Use a muddler when the leaves are for cocktails, or stir irmly with a spoon. Be sure to grow mint in a pot and not in the garden itself. “Mint doesn’t play nicely with others,” said Pelini about the herb’s tendency to take over.

MORE TO PLANTConident about your ability to grow

herbs? Go beyond the basics. Pelini loves thyme. “Fresh thyme is so completely dif-ferent from dried, and there are so many options, like lime thyme and lemon thyme.”

What would potato salad — or salmon or deviled eggs — be without fresh dill?

Then there’s cilantro, the three-in-one herb that can be planted weekly. “You need successive plantings of seeds because you harvest the whole bundle. Cut it of at the ground and plant another handful of seeds,” said Pelini. Fresh cilantro has a lemony la-vor. “But as soon as it starts to get feathery, it’s coriander and it’s a much more pungent and soapier lavor, good for Thai and Afri-can cooking, but not the Southwest cooking that we associate so often with it. When it goes to seed, there’s anise lavor in the seeds, used in sausage,” Dehn said.

Oregano is hard to ind fresh and worth growing if you use it in your cooking.

Then there’s rosemary, in some ways the grande dame of the herb garden. Dehn reminds cooks to leave the stems intact on the plant and pick only the leaves.

“I put a dozen leaves in pasta water. I use it instead of salt. It lavors the pasta; even tuna noodle salad will taste wonder-ful,” Dehn said.

TIPS FOR COOKS ■ Most herbs can be stored in the refrig-

erator, but not basil. Keep it in a glass of water or plastic bag in a darkened corner of your kitchen.

■ Always wash herbs before you use them. “You never know where the neigh-bor’s dog was,” Dehn said.

■ When cooking with fresh herbs, you will use three times more than if the herb is dried.

■ To preserve the herbs for cooking throughout winter, dry them with a dehy-drator and store in an airtight container, away from light or heat. Or freeze the herbs. Pelini doesn’t freeze any herbs in water. She prefers to lash freeze most, such as dill, then crumbles it into a container. Or for basil, she blends it in a food processor and freezes it in blobs before putting them in a plastic bag or container. Dehn stores her frozen herbs in double-wrapped plastic, “iled” in a very large Tupperware container to keep track of them in a chest freezer.

HOW TO PLANT HERBSForget the 2-inch pots that come with

kits, says Dehn. Use at least a 5-inch pot or larger. Try planting four kitchen herbs in a single big pot. You’ll need at least 2 gallons of dirt, preferably good potting soil. The herbs need good nutrition, too, and that means fertilizing them, preferably organi-cally.

GROW YOUR OWNGet the hang of raising fresh herbs, then learn to cook with them

By Judy HevrdejsChicago Tribune

You expect a kitchen to be noisy. The tap-tap-tap of a knife mincing mounds of fresh herbs. The rhyth-mic beat of a wooden spoon mixing a batter. Fries sputtering in oil.

Beyond such obvious noises, there are many subtle sounds of cooking that can help you become a better, more intuitive cook.

Being aware of such subtle sounds is what chef Brendan Walsh calls the “nuances of cooking.” It involves all the senses, of course. But sound is often ignored until acrid smells or smoke plumes alert you to a bigger problem.

“Anyone can follow a recipe, and it will come out diferently for each person,” says Walsh, dean

of culinary arts at The Cu-linary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. “But the nuances that each indi-vidual person adds brings beauty to dishes.

To understand some sounds, Walsh suggests starting with a few funda-mental cooking techniques.

SWEATING VS. SAUTEING

“Generally when you sweat, you sweat without a lid. When you smother, you put a lid on top. Start with a cool pan. Cook at a temperature that is low enough where it draws out moisture, which cre-ates a steaming environ-ment. You don’t want any (browning), so you don’t want to hear any noise. Once you start hearing noise, you’re going to the next level, which is more

of a saute.“For a saute, start of

with a hot pan. It’s just that little bit of oil in the pan, then adding what-ever the item might be ... where when it goes into that pan, you want to hear this wonderful sizzle and the bouncing of the oil.”

BOILING VS. SIMMERING

Boiling is ine for pasta, Walsh says, but “that’s not a good thing for cooking proteins. You’re overcook-ing them, you’re drying them out.That bubble and glurp sound (is a) sign you’ve got to be concerned that you’re about to burn the bottom of that beau-tiful vegetable soup or a clam chowder.”

“Simmering is 165 to 180 degrees. .What you’re go-ing to get should be fairly

quiet..” If you’re poaching a ish, and bubbles do more than break the surface and “you’re hearing bubbling noises, that’s now gone to boiling, and you know that you’re about to ruin a beautiful piece of ish.”

DEEP FRYING“You want to hear two

things. (It’s) going to start with this kind of bubbling sound from the moisture being released from the (food) into an environ-ment that is 350 degrees. You should also be hear-ing the sounds of frying, which is this kind of sizzle and spattering of hot oil.”

A FEW MORE ■ A loaf of yeast bread:

When you tap the top of a loaf of bread, “you get that wonderful hollow knock-ing sound from a fresh-

baked loaf.” If the bread’s not baked right, it’s more of a thud.

■ A pan for pancakes: “People make the mistake of not having that pan hot enough. To test it, dip your ingers in a little water and lick them over the pan. You should hear a sizzle, and that water should evap-orate. Otherwise you get a blond pancake and don’t get that nice little caramel-ization of the sugars.”

■ Whipping cream: “It

goes from this liquid slosh-ing state into this kind of pitter-patter of air and froth.” Pay attention or you’ll end up with butter.

■ Creaming butter with sugar: “Creaming methods start of with this kind of hard thunking at the bot-tom of a bowl, then turn into this kind (of) rapid wave of sloshing going on where the butter gets light-ened with sugar and it’s all just lopping quickly and easily.”

A starter kit for a beginner’s herb garden should include (clockwise from upper left) parsley, basil, chives and mint.

By Leslie SchillingSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

For centuries, it been suggested that certain foods may have aphrodi-siac-like properties. While there is very little research that supporting natural or food-based aphrodisiacs, there is a reason we think of certain foods on a ro-mantic evening. Certain foods can be visually stim-ulating, helping to turn up the heat, so to speak.

Let’s start with the most obvious of the sensual foods, chocolate. Choco-late, particularly dark chocolate, has been stud-ied for years. The dark side of this food is a good one. Over the last several years, studies have suggested that dark chocolate may prevent certain precursors of heart disease. In addi-tion to being heart-healthy, dark chocolate may im-prove blood vessel walls and blood low throughout the body. That sure doesn’t hurt date night.

It’s likely strawberries come to mind when you think about planning an evening for that special someone. Whether it’s their visually appealing heart shape or the anti-oxidant power, strawber-ries are sure to make an appearance when love is in the air. You may decide to enjoy strawberries with dark chocolate (either on the side or dipped) for the ultimate sensuous pair-ing. If strawberries aren’t your thing, you could al-ways turn to igs, the fruit of the ancient gods. This velvety, seed-laden and antioxidant-rich fruit has been a symbol of love and fertility in many cultures.

Looking for even more spice? Research suggests that a chemical found in hot peppers, capsaicin, may improve blood low and rev up nerve endings. Incorporating this iery factor into a meal may make for a particularly hot evening. But, don’t eat too much. A stomach that’s overfull, especially with spicy foods, is not a welcomed ingredient for a romantic evening.

Whether these foods have arousing properties or just sensual shapes, don’t underestimate the power of the placebo ef-fect. If you think it works, it just might.

Amanda Smit-Peters shows an example of painted window screens in the Highlandtown neighborhood of Baltimore. Smit-Peters, Main Street manager for the neighborhood, is working with local artists to bring back the art of painted screens. They were once popular as a way to keep passers-by from seeing inside row house windows.

By Beth J. HarpazAssociated Press

BALTIMORE — It’s not the TV shows “Homicide” and “The Wire” that come to mind when I think of Balti-more, though both ofered an intense look at an American

city’s poverty, drugs and gangs. Bal-timore’s glitzy Inner Harbor didn’t draw me there either. Instead, I went looking for old things connected to the city’s history and quirky local culture — everything from Edgar Allan Poe to row houses and painted window screens, a utilitarian folk art that’s being revived. Here’s what I found.

HAMPDENThis is where kitsch and hipsters converge —

amid the boutiques, eateries and antique shops of West 36th Street in Hampden. The neighbor-hood’s epicenter might well be the giant pink lamingo at 1002 W. 36th St. outside Cafe Hon — short for honey, but not the edible kind. Else-where, you’d be called sir or ma’am, but here you’re “hon.” For more details — including the local penchant for beehive hairdos — watch mov-ies by Baltimore native John Waters.

Artful displays at Trohv Baltimore, 921 W. 36th St., highlight the beauty of everyday objects like old jars or wooden spools of thread. Bryan’s Finds & Designs, 845 W. 36th St., is a fabulous jumble of jewelry, hats, lamps and other vintage acces-sories. Razzo, 911 W. 36th St., sells crab shells painted with beehive hairdos. And Golden West Cafe, 1105 W. 36th St., ofers funky but scrump-tious goodies like tater tots, polenta, house-made doughnuts, and a Bloody Mary garnished with delectable pickled green beans from Tanner’s Pickles, 2724 Remington Ave.

FELLS POINTFells Point is located on one side of Baltimore’s

Inner Harbor, where pubs, souvenir shops and water taxis attract hordes of tourists. But a block from the water, Fells Point’s historic district — bounded by Aliceanna, Dallas and Wolfe streets — ofers quiet, narrow streetscapes dating to the 18th century. Many of the tiny brick and wood-framed homes, some with gabled roofs and dormer windows, are on the National Reg-ister of Historic Places. Of note: Robert Long House, Baltimore’s oldest home, built in 1765, at 812 S. Ann St.; and the Fell Family Cemetery, 1607 Shakespeare St. The Admiral Fell Inn, 888 S. Broadway, a boutique hotel that was once a seamen’s boardinghouse, ofers bird’s-eye views from its balconies of the area’s tidy old buildings and rooftops.

EDGAR ALLAN POEMany cities claim Poe: He was born in Boston

and lived in Virginia, New York and Philadel-phia. “But this is the place he really considered home,” said Lisa Lewenz, administrator of the Poe House and Museum, a national landmark at 203 N. Amity St. Poe lived in the tiny brick house, just 13 feet wide, in the 1830s with his

grandmother, aunt and two cousins. (Poe mar-ried his cousin, Virginia, when she was 13.) Exhibits tell the story of Poe’s life and death; artifacts include his portable writing desk — the laptop of its day — and his telescope; poeinbal-timore.org/, Saturday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., $5.

Poe died in Baltimore in 1849 after being found delirious on the street in circumstances as mysterious as his haunting tales and poems. His death has been attributed to everything from alcohol to rabies. His birthday was marked for decades by a visitor who left roses and cognac at the Westminster Hall and Burying Ground, 519 W. Fayette St., where he’s buried. A monu-ment there bears Poe’s likeness; another marker bears a raven.

PAINTED SCREENSBaltimore is famous for row houses — adja-

cent brick homes, two to three stories tall. Folks walking by on narrow sidewalks could see right inside, so beginning in the early 20th century, window screens were sometimes painted with designs to increase privacy. Air conditioners helped kill the tradition, but you can still ind a few painted screens — both vintage and newly painted by artists trying to revive them — along Elliot Street in Canton between Conkling and Linwood, or Eastern Avenue in Highlandtown.

The American Visionary Art Museum (800 Key Highway, Tuesday-Sunday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., $16; www.avam.org) has a permanent exhibit on painted screens that includes a documentary and re-creation of a row house. The gift shop sells a map of painted screen locations, or order maps for $5 from the Painted Screen Society, paintedscreens.org/, which can also arrange customized tours.

Fells Point historic neighborhood dates to the 18th century, and some of its brick homes are on the National Register of Historic Places.

A giant pink flamingo towers over Cafe Hon, an eatery and trendy gathering place along West 36th Street in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore.

The original grave of Edgar Allan Poe is adorned with a bottle of cognac and roses left by a mysterious visitor. Poe died in Baltimore at age 40.

Art, charm and Poe mingle evermore in Baltimore lore

The Memphis Grizzlies will raise $2.5 million over 10 years to aid St. Jude Chil-dren’s Research Hospital, the basketball franchise said Monday.

The Grizzlies have been a long-standing partner with the children’s hospital.

The Grizzlies’ an-nouncement comes on the heels of the largest single commitment ever to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which was made this past weekend by Tri Delta fraternity. The group pledged to raise $60 mil-lion over the next decade to support Tri Delta Place, a short-term housing facil-ity at the hospital.

St. Jude’s short-term housing facility was for-merly known as the Mem-phis Grizzlies House. The Grizzlies made a $5 million gift toward the construc-tion of the house, which opened in 2004.

Jason Wexler, chief op-

erating oicer of the Griz-zlies, said in a prepared statement that the team is “proud to pass the torch to Tri-Delta fraternity and walk hand-in-hand with them in our common com-mitment to St. Jude.”

The research hospital praised its ongoing part-nership with the Grizzlies.

“Memphis and St. Jude are fortunate to have a marquee sports franchise like the Memphis Griz-zlies that attracts national attention to our city and to our lifesaving mission, and is such a positive force in our community,” Richard Shadyac Jr., chief executive oicer of ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hos-pital, said in a statement announcing the Grizzlies’ new pledge. “The Grizzlies have been a true partner to St. Jude, supporting us in ways well beyond their generous inancial contri-butions. The awareness they’ve helped bring to our mission is invaluable, and we are grateful for their in-credible partnership.”

Prior to the late 1960s, students with disabilities, like Down syndrome, ce-rebral palsy, or autism, were more likely to be institutionalized than af-forded the learning en-

vironment to thrive. L u c k i l y , much has c h a n g e d over the y e a r s . What was once con-sidered a g r o u n d -

breaking concept to pro-vide a faith-based setting where the cognitive, so-cial, emotional, spiritual, and physical develop-mental needs of children with disabilities could be realized has now been the norm for more than 45 years with Madonna Learning Center.

Founded in Memphis in 1969 by three Benedictine Sisters, Madonna Learn-ing Center is a private, independent, faith-based school and nonproit for children and young adults with disabilities. They currently serve 64 stu-dents, ages 5 to 30 years old, and ofer a low stu-dent to teacher ratio and Individualized Education Plans and services to help students achieve success both in and outside of the classroom.

Teachers are Masters level experts and the school also has a behav-ior specialist, two speech-language pathologists, and an occupational therapist on staf.

A typical school day combines reading, math, science and social studies with specialized thera-peutic services and ac-tivities. Technology also plays a prominent role, especially with hand-held devices that allow students, normally not be able to talk, the ability to verbally express them-selves.

Don’t expect to see a selection of cheeses, pates or deli meats in your neighborhood liquor store any time soon.

Tennessee wine and spirits re-tailers can now sell food as well as glasses, soda and other mixers, low-alcohol beer, corkscrews and other paraphernalia, even cigarettes and ice.

It’s all a result of a law that took efect July 1, but many shop keepers in the Memphis area are taking a cautious view.

From The Corkscrew on the South Blufs in Downtown Mem-phis in the west to Poplar Wine and Spirits in Collierville in the east, owners and managers echoed what Aaron Coppedge, general manager of The Corkscrew said: “We’re tak-ing a marginal approach and mov-ing slowly.”

“We haven’t jumped into the food thing,” said Angela Moon, a manager at Kirby Wine & Spirits, on Kirby near Quince, “but we have gotten into accessories.”

Her sentiment was reflected by Gary Burhop, owner of Great Wines & Spirits in Regalia. “We are approaching the issues deliberately and cautiously,” Burhop said. “We

are just not going to be in the food business.”

On March 20, Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law a bill that will allow food stores, including convenience stores and big-box outlets, to sell wine, starting July 1, 2016. Senate Bill 837 also permits wine and li-quor retailers to sell low-alcohol beer, mixers, bar accessories, party supplies, snacks, cigarettes, ice and other products they were previous-ly forbidden to purvey, giving them a two-year head start.

As with any major transition in legal and cultural mores, the new regulations bring up a host of com-plications. First is the problem of space.

“Most existing liquor stores are locked into long-term leases for very cramped spaces,” said Burhop. “The two-year ‘window’ is not re-ally a great concession from the state. Retailers are saying, ‘Where am I going to put the crackers?’ Ba-sically, Kroger and Costco won.”

“We’re bursting with inventory,” said Jimmy Cole, owner of Poplar

Wine and Spirits. “There’s not a lot of room for other items.”

Cole said that he would stock as-sorted tonics and soda, grenadine and bitters, as well as lower alco-hol or “grocery store” beers. “We’re also installing a growler station,” he said, in which customers can have one of eight local beers tapped into a 32- or 64-ounce container and then return the container for a reill.

The second problem is regula-tion. Carrying cheeses, meats and other perishable gourmet items brings stores under the Shelby County Health Department’s myr-iad rules about temperature, refrig-eration, packaging and handling.

“We have enough regulations to contend with as sellers of alcoholic beverages,” said Scott Smith, owner of Wine Market in East Memphis. “Dealing with the Health Depart-ment would make things unman-ageable.” Smith is stocking a range of pastas, Italian rice, vinegars and olive oils as well as sodas, mixers, juices and water.

ORLANDO, Fla. — His irst couple of catches result-ed in misires from the perimeter.

Jordan Adams then began to ind an ofen-sive rhythm, and deftly connected on jump shots mostly from beyond the 3-point arc. The Grizzlies’ 6-5 rookie guard scored 22 points in his professional debut, leading Memphis to an 84-63 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder last Saturday at the Orlan-do Pro Summer League.

However, Adams left the Amway Center mostly gratiied by how he per-formed on defense. He in-ished with almost as many steals (4) as ield goals (5) during a game in which the Griz forced 27 turn-

overs against a Thunder squad that ielded three rotation players.

Adams is a natural and versatile scorer, evident in part by his 8-for-8 free throw shooting.

Adams aims to airm that he is a solid two-way player.

“The knock on me is I don’t play defense or I play lazy defense and I’m not athletic,” Adams said. “So I just keep trying to prove people wrong with everything I do on the court.”

One of Adams’ inest moments happened when Thunder guard Mario Little tried to overpower Adams in the paint. Little whirled in the lane, and Adams cleanly slapped the ball out of his hands.

“I’m proud of what he did defensively,” Griz assistant coach Shawn Respert said after guid-ing the team through the irst summer league game. “Jeremy Lamb and Andre

Robinson are guys who have had tested minutes in the playofs and long min-utes in the regular season. How he competed against

them made me proud.”Respert started forward

Jarnell Stokes, the Griz-zlies’ second-round pick (35th overall).

Stokes’ NBA baptism pitted him against Griz nemesis Steven Adams — Oklahoma City’s backup center, who caused prob-

lems for Memphis with his brute play last season as a rookie.

“I see why a lot of guys don’t like him. He dei-nitely plays a physical style of basketball but I embrace it,” Stokes said. “It was a great measure-ment for me. Here, in the summer, it doesn’t get any better than having Adams as your irst matchup.”

Stokes picked up six fouls — all rather punish-ing — in 20 minutes and struggled with midrange shots. He was hardly a pushover against Adams, though. Stokes used his body to create space and score in the lane.

“I didn’t feel like I was playing my game of-fensively,” Stokes said. “Looking at the ofense, I really understand why the bigs thrive. They just want me to slow down on the ofensive end. But on the defensive end and re-bounding, I think I did a pretty good job.”

‘SHOOTING STARS’

The St. Agnes Academy “Shooting Stars” trap team had an outstand-ing showing at the 2014 Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program state championship. Rising senior Frances Wenger posted a score of 98 and advanced to the shoot-of ield where she posted a 24 out of 25 to capture the individual title. The St. Agnes varsity team posted an overall score of 469 out of 500. This was the highest all-female team score for the tournament. Overall, the team placed 18th. The top scor-ers for St. Agnes were Wenger with 98, Katie McCormick with 95, Katie McCafery with 94, Grace Land with 93 and Julia Stallings with 89.

COMPETITIVE SHOOTING

By Bryan [email protected]

901-529-2343

Hutchison School trap team mem-ber Cooper Matthews had already turned in one of the better perfor-mances in school history by shoot-ing 96 of 100 clay targets during last month’s Tennessee state champion-ship competition at the Nashville Gun Club.

But the 15-year-old’s long day still wasn’t over.

In a shoot-of with Kelsey Nelson of the Jeferson County 4-H Patriot Shooters, Matthews hit 25 in a row to claim the junior varsity state cham-pionship in her irst year as a com-petitive shooter at Hutchison. Her classmate, 17-year-old Ann Dickin-son, inished second in the state at the varsity level with a school-record 98.

Not bad for a team that didn’t ex-ist in 2010.

“We’re literally just a 3-year-old team, and we just turned it on this year,” Hutchison shooting coach Keith Warner said. “The girls have really been working hard and things really just came together this year.”

While the Hutchison team is in its infancy, the Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program began in 2001 as a joint efort by the Tennessee Wildlife Federation and the Ten-nessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

The program provides children grades 5-12 an opportunity to com-pete in sporting clays, skeet and trap competitions. The program has grown each year and includes more than 1,800 shooters across the state.

“Right now, Tennessee has more kids involved in the program than all other 49 states combined,” said Ann Dickinson’s father, Hoppy.

He believes there are several rea-sons why the program has been so popular among Tennesseans — es-pecially girls.

“It’s fun, and it’s also a sport where the girls can deinitely outshoot the boys,” Hoppy said. “A lot of times daddies have been taking boys out since they were little, and they’ve developed bad habits. But a lot of these girls had never picked up a gun when they started here — and they’d certainly never shot competitively. Coach Warner can take these girls out and start them fresh.”

Getting a girl started in trapshoot-ing requires a inancial investment, but not the kind you might expect.

“A lot of people show up with whatever their brother duck-hunts with and it just doesn’t work,” said Cooper Matthews’ mother, Katie. “ You really do need to get a trap gun, but you don’t have to have the most expensive trap gun on the market.”

Cooper Matthews and Ann Dick-inson both use Beretta 391 trapshoot-ing guns, but that model has been discontinued. So Warner recom-mends the Beretta A300 Outlander.

“It’ll cost you about $850 for the gun,” Warner said. “Then you’re looking at $400-$600 in modiica-tions.”

Modiications for Ann Dickinson’s gun included special padding to keep the gun from beating her up.

“The gun was just killing her — and not just her shoulder,” Hoppy Dickinson said. “She was coming home with the side of her face all black and blue. But we added some padding, and now it’s perfect for

her.”Some people can’t resist pointing

out the stigma of guns and young people, but the TNSCTP stresses using guns the right way. Proper muzzle control is taught before the irst shot is ired, and eye and ear protection are mandatory at all times on the range.

During the regular season, which begins as early as January, competi-tions are held at the Memphis Sports Shooting Association facility in Lakeland that average about 400

competitors. The state meet, which was held last month at the Nashville Gun Club on the banks of the Cum-berland River, drew more than 800 shooters who kept 12 ields full from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Warner expects his program to continue to grow, and the TNSCTP is always looking for new teams.

For information on starting a team at your school, visit tnsctp.org, call the Tennessee Wildlife Federation at 615-353-1133 or call the TWRA at 615-781-6500.

Local teens excel at state trapshooting championship

Photos by bryan brasher/the CommerCial aPPeal

Fifteen-year-old Cooper Matthews of Hutchison recently won the junior varsity state trapshooting championship in Nashville.

Ann Dickinson, a 17-year-old senior at Hutchison, recently inished as the state runner-up in the girls varsity division at the state trapshooting championships in Nashville. She shot a school-record 98.

During his latest stand-up special, “Voice in my Head,” the brilliant comedian Christopher Titus talked at length about meeting his hero, Bruce Springsteen, backstage after a concert in Los Angeles.

Titus said he had always been nervous about meeting celebri-ties for fear they wouldn’t be all he hoped. But after spending a couple of hours around Springsteen, he realized the biggest people can sometimes be the nicest as well.

I thought about Titus’ remarks June 29 at the Hilton Memphis Hotel as I talked with Bill Dance and Johnny Morris just before Dance was awarded the AutoZone Liberty Bowl Dis-tinguished Citizen Award.

With all due respect to fellow greats Roland Martin and Tom Mann, Dance is the most fa-mous isherman in history. He’s sold more lures, entertained more people with his tele-vision shows and been directly or indirectly responsible for more people taking up the sport of ishing than anyone else ever has or will.

Yet when you talk to him, he always makes you feel like you’re doing him a favor by taking the time to stop and chat.

He was nearly unrecognizable without his famous oversized glasses and trademark “T” cap. But he was easy to ind in the crowd be-cause he spent so much time standing to re-spectfully acknowledge anyone who walked over to greet him.

I posed for a picture with him — a rare pic-ture, considering he wasn’t wearing a Tennes-see cap and I wasn’t wearing an Alabama cap — and he put his arm around me, the same way he did the very irst time we stood in a room together.

That’s just Bill: Millionaire, superstar and all-around good guy.

Compare that with the behavior of some of today’s younger “celebrity” ishermen, and it’s downright disheartening.

Many of those young bucks are known as “pro ishermen” only because they don’t have other jobs. They’ve accomplished nothing be-yond wearing fancy shirts and cracking a few corny jokes on the weigh-in stand. But speak to them, and they look at you as if they’d just as soon slice your jugular as spend a few min-utes chatting and promoting the few sponsors they have.

On the lip side, Dance still sends a thank-you card to every writer who does a story about him with a line that reads, “Without people like you, people like me wouldn’t exist.”

I’ve always want to write back with a play-ful “Yeah, right.” But instead, I’ve just stacked the cards in a drawer among some of my other prized possessions.

Then there’s Morris.Speaking of millionaires with as much class

as money, Morris made a special trip to see his longtime friend and the face of his Bass Pro Shops Kingdom earn his special award.

Morris isn’t just the owner of the Bass Pro Shops super chain, he’s the founder. He’s the reason Bass Pro Shops stores can be found all over the country — the reason the city of Mem-phis is buzzing about the new store coming to the Pyramid — and the reason BPS catalogs are sitting on millions of cofee tables all over America.

But when I approached him at the bar, he couldn’t wait to gush about his friend.

When I started the interview, I promised I’d be out of his hair before the ice in his drink had a chance to start melting. But once he i-nally inished gushing about Dance, he had a watered-down drink and I had more irst-class remarks than I could use.

These two giants of the industry seem to remember how they reached the top — and that their paths and current behavior could serve as blueprints for a lot of folks who are still trying to make it there.

Dance, Morris show pure class despite their success

“I don’t know why players are apt to be so critical,” Rose said to me. Her kindness and courtesy toward others is ad-mirable. “Bridge is hard. Who among us never goofs up?”

“They’re often trying to salve a damaged ego,” I said, playing the role of amateur psychologist. “Critical play-ers are insecure about their own ability.”

Rose says it’s better to bite your tongue than to let it bite someone else. When she was today’s East, West led the queen of hearts against South’s game, and Rose took the ace, examined the dummy and shifted to the ten of diamonds. Declarer put up the queen, winning. He drew trumps, forced out the ace of clubs and claimed an overtrick, discard-ing a diamond on a high club in dummy.

“I can’t believe you led from the king of diamonds,” West snorted. “How ridiculous.”

Rose must have wanted to tell West that his remark was idiotic as well as unkind, but she bit her tongue.

Rose could see the defend-ers would get no trump tricks, one heart and one club. (She had to assume West had the ace.) They needed two dia-monds, hence Rose had to place the queen with West — and she had to establish di-amond tricks before declarer drew trumps and set up the clubs for a discard. Moreover, Rose’s “honor-trapping” lead of the ten was vital in case South’s diamonds were J-x-x.

Once West didn’t find a diamond opening lead, South was always slated to take 11 tricks. Rose made a good play that didn’t happen to work. A good partner — which West was not — would have been complimentary, not critical.

Dear Harriette: I am interested in getting married, but I do not have the patience to develop a relationship. A friend of mine suggested that I should find a mail-order bride. He also mentioned that the women are ready to be married and there is a low risk of rejection. I was wondering if there were mail-order bride programs in the United States. If so, how do I start this inquiry?

— Here Comes The Bride.com,

Stonewall, Louisiana

Answer: I don’t think your friend was doing you any favors by recom-mending a so-called mail-order bride. Hon-estly, I think your friend was making a joke at your expense. Why? Well, it is true that in some cul-tures, people get married sight unseen, but they are immersed in traditions that trust that the parents or other elders have made wise choices on their behalf. The whole notion of marrying someone you don’t know tends to work

when everyone is follow-ing the same assumptions about what it means to create a family structure and grow together as a unit.

If you are unwilling to take the time to cultivate a relationship, how do you envision a marriage playing out? Marriage re-quires constant engage-ment, thoughtfulness, challenges and tons of forgiveness. A healthy marriage represents the definition of patience under pressure, of love in action, of acceptance of another person as you also embrace yourself. You can’t buy that.

“I don’t know why players are apt to be so critical,” Rose said to me. Her kindness and courtesy toward others is ad-mirable. “Bridge is hard. Who among us never goofs up?”

“They’re often trying to salve a damaged ego,” I said, playing the role of amateur psychologist. “Critical play-ers are insecure about their own ability.”

Rose says it’s better to bite your tongue than to let it bite someone else. When she was today’s East, West led the queen of hearts against South’s game, and Rose took the ace, examined the dummy and shifted to the ten of diamonds. Declarer put up the queen, winning. He drew trumps, forced out the ace of clubs and claimed an overtrick, discard-ing a diamond on a high club in dummy.

“I can’t believe you led from the king of diamonds,” West snorted. “How ridiculous.”

Rose must have wanted to tell West that his remark was idiotic as well as unkind, but she bit her tongue.

Rose could see the defend-ers would get no trump tricks, one heart and one club. (She had to assume West had the ace.) They needed two dia-monds, hence Rose had to place the queen with West — and she had to establish di-amond tricks before declarer drew trumps and set up the clubs for a discard. Moreover, Rose’s “honor-trapping” lead of the ten was vital in case South’s diamonds were J-x-x.

Once West didn’t find a diamond opening lead, South was always slated to take 11 tricks. Rose made a good play that didn’t happen to work. A good partner — which West was not — would have been complimentary, not critical.

Dear Harriette: I am interested in getting married, but I do not have the patience to develop a relationship. A friend of mine suggested that I should find a mail-order bride. He also mentioned that the women are ready to be married and there is a low risk of rejection. I was wondering if there were mail-order bride programs in the United States. If so, how do I start this inquiry?

— Here Comes The Bride.com,

Stonewall, Louisiana

Answer: I don’t think your friend was doing you any favors by recom-mending a so-called mail-order bride. Hon-estly, I think your friend was making a joke at your expense. Why? Well, it is true that in some cul-tures, people get married sight unseen, but they are immersed in traditions that trust that the parents or other elders have made wise choices on their behalf. The whole notion of marrying someone you don’t know tends to work

when everyone is follow-ing the same assumptions about what it means to create a family structure and grow together as a unit.

If you are unwilling to take the time to cultivate a relationship, how do you envision a marriage playing out? Marriage re-quires constant engage-ment, thoughtfulness, challenges and tons of forgiveness. A healthy marriage represents the definition of patience under pressure, of love in action, of acceptance of another person as you also embrace yourself. You can’t buy that.

Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old twice-divorced woman who has made some unwise decisions in my life. I’m single and will be retiring at year’s end. I’m currently living with an egotistical 75-year-old man who claims he loves me, yet he dominates every conversation, lacks social skills, ignores etiquette and attempts to control me.

I didn’t know him long enough before I moved to be with him. We met at a dance when he was in town visiting friends. I still couldn’t discern infatuation from love. I wanted a fairy tale. I thought with my heart instead of my head. After a while, dancing four nights a week wears thin when that’s all there is to enjoy together. I haven’t been happy for several years. We’ve made some nice friends, but if I don’t sug-gest getting together, they never would. My children and siblings live out of state, and I want to move back home. How can I do that and save face with my family and friends? They warned me that I was rushing into things.

— Danced Enough

Dear Danced: You’d rather be unhappy than admit you made a mis-take? It could be very freeing to say to your friends and family, “You were right. I should have listened.” Then it’s over. Just make sure you don’t repeat the mistake.

Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 45 years. I love my wife, but I like to flirt with women. Last year I did more than flirt, and my wife found out. I asked her to forgive me, and she did. But when she keeps asking for an explanation, I blow her o� or get upset until she quits asking an-noying questions. Should I tell her to get over it, or sit down with her and tell her the entire truth, even if it is more than she can handle?

— Wondering

Dear Wondering: You cheated on your wife, and you find her questions “annoying”? Your wife deserves your complete honesty. It’s not up to you to decide what is too much for her to handle. She might forgive you, but she will never be able to trust you again if she doesn’t believe you are totally truthful, answering any questions she has for as long as it takes. Ask your doctor to refer you to a marriage counselor so the two of you can hash this out and truly start fresh.

box contains the same num-ber only once. The difficulty

level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to

Sunday.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

“If there’s anything I can’t stand,” a club player told me, “it’s seeing someone make an awful bid and get away with it.”

My friend had been West. “Why South didn’t pass North’s three clubs is beyond me,” he said. “Did he think his support wasn’t good enough?”

West had led the ace and a low spade against three diamonds, and East took the jack and king.

SIGNAL “I signaled with the eight of hearts,”

West said, “and partner promptly led a low heart. I won and returned a heart. South ru�ed, led a club to dummy and let the ten of trumps ride. With the trumps sitting perfectly, he won the rest. Grrr!”

It’s an imperfect world, but I can’t blame West for being upset.

South’s bid of three diamonds de-served to lose — and could have lost if East had led the king of hearts at Trick Four.

West would follow with the deuce. East could then judge well to lead a fourth spade. If South ru�ed, West could

overru�, forcing out dummy’s ten of trumps. East would get a trump trick for down one.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19)★★★★ You might have a lot to think about, as a friend might express a little too much consideration for your comfort level. Your intuition comes into play. Tonight: Together-ness.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)★★★★ Defer to others and see a situation for what it is. A loved one or partner could be aloof and touchy. Tonight: Listen to others and what they want. Note what isn’t said.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)★★★★ Be aware of others’ needs and what they might require. Your feelings come for-ward, and you might be hesitant to pursue a certain path. Tonight: Stop at the gym.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)★★★★ They might be coming from a place of negativity, but you can help them turn it around to a more positive attitude. Tap into your creativity. Tonight: Love blossoms.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★ Make time for what you need and want to do. You might want to take a nap or have a discussion with a family member or room-mate. Tonight: Mosey on home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)★★★★ Return calls while balancing other matters and errands. You could be quite touched by a comment from someone you respect. Be more aware of what is happen-ing. Tonight: Catch up on news with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★ Curb a need to be overly possessive and demanding. You want situations to take the twists and turns you would like. You can only create so much, as you only have so much control. Tonight: Be more direct.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★ You might go out of your way to ease another person’s stress level. Your sensitiv-ity to the moment and other people allows for greater give-and-take. Tonight: What pleases you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)★★★★ You might want to see a situation move in a new direction — think again. The ramifications and what you would need to do could be more than what you are willing to do. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★ Zero in on an objective outlined in a meeting. You might have a surprising response to this goal. Discuss and debate a problem. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★ Notice that others look to you for advice and often admire your choices. Your unpredictability throws many people o�. Tonight: Working late.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)★★★★★ Read between the lines. What is be-ing said probably has a deeper meaning than you are aware of. Tonight: Make sure music is involved.

Horoscope

This year you manifest creativ-ity and determination, though not necessarily together. If you are in an artistic field, you will see more acknowledgment for your work. If you are single, you are likely to have a very intense love life. You could be overwhelmed by many different po-tential sweeties. If you are attached, you might discover that you have a new addition to the house. SCORPIO is also emotional like you, but does not reveal their feelings as easily.

Horoscopes

By Jacqueline BigarKing Features Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You easily could toss an associate into a tizzy, as he or she does not understand what you are doing. This person will approach you directly in his or her time. You are far more op-timistic because of the support you get from your circle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be questioning the value of a cer-tain relationship in your life. Is this a phase or long term? You cannot be sure just yet. Listen to another person’s thoughts, but stay noncommittal if need be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are full of informa-tion, and others seem to rec-ognize that fact. Many of your callers seek out your thoughts as well as what you know. Let your ingenuity break through any problem that appears.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You are still in a very fortunate phase where the un-expected seems to fall in your favor. Be willing to express your true needs. You see a situation involving funds as awkward.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your more playful side emerges when dealing with a diicult child or loved one. A friend means well and asks valid questions, even if you feel un-comfortable. Another person’s generous nature could make you feel rather uncomfortable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your sensitivities of-ten take you to strange places, which might be diicult to dis-cuss. You have a lot to consider involving your inances. Take charge of a problem and handle it. Your imagination helps you zero in on what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You will defend yourself vigorously if attacked or perceive that you were at-tacked. You feel cared about in a domestic situation and/or with family. Try to meet your expectations rather than those of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Don’t take an unnec-essary risk with funds. You could be reading more into a venture than really is there. You could be quite angry at someone’s inter-vention or nosiness. Establish stronger boundaries with this

person and perhaps others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHHH You could be surprised by another person’s energy as exhibited in a meet-ing. Be smart, and don’t try to control anyone. Your intuition is right-on about a partner or joint inancial matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could sense a situation is building that you would prefer not to deal with. You might need to make an ap-pointment with a doctor or den-tist. The unexpected revolves around family and/or home. Maintain a sense of humor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friends nearly al-ways surround you. Today a friend could dominate a situa-tion more than you like. Let this person see the interaction as you do. Use your energy to ac-complish what you must.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might not be in a position where you can be frivolous. You often strive to make a certain impression. Do not take down months of hard work with a moment of silliness or craziness. Creatively post-pone some fun.

Dear Miss Manners: In both business and per-sonal dealings, it is often the case that e-mails are received containing ty-pographical errors. In the days before e-mail, one might ignore or even cor-rect these incoming mis-takes in a paraphrase (“In your letter of the 4th you asked about ...”) but with e-mail, it is common to have the original e-mail attached at the end of your own.

When the spell-checker goes over your outgoing e-mail, it lags and ofers opportunities to correct the typos in the original e-mail. How is this best handled?

Gentle Reader: With restraint. Technology may have made it easier to correct the mistakes of

friends or business asso-ciates, but Miss Manners notices it has done noth-ing to make such behavior more endearing.

Dear Miss Manners: I come from a family in which the women tend to be overweight. In my teens, I was following in my relatives’ footsteps; to be blunt, I was fat.

However, when I was 16, I went on a diet, lost all the extra weight, and have kept it of ever since, via nothing more strenu-ous than portion control and some daily exercise. I love to cook and eat what I like. I just don’t eat too much of it.

I am now 52. As I’ve aged, I’ve been asked more frequently, “How do you stay so slim?” I answer honestly: “Well, I don’t eat too much, and I try to get some exercise every day.”

I have been told that I am being rude. The wom-

an who said this explained that the question, “How do you stay so slim?” doesn’t require a real answer; it is merely a compliment. If I answer truthfully, I am implying that the ques-tioner does eat too much and doesn’t get exercise.

According to my ac-cuser, I am supposed to respond, “Just lucky, I guess,” or “It’s genetic.”

Miss Manners, I am not going to claim that I was blessed by the weight gods when I wasn’t. However, if you agree that I am be-ing rude, I’ll avoid this answer.

Gentle Reader: Asking how you stay slim is not a compliment, but a ques-tion. While you are under no obligation to answer the question, you cannot justly be called rude for doing so.

By Jennifer W. CaseySpecial to The Weekly

For the next few months, Collierville Town Hall is showcasing artwork by Ron Lace of Germantown.

The work featured in this display depict people and scenes reminiscent of times past, with a few landscape scenes.

“My choice of subject comes from my interest in ideas about beauty and emotional connections,” said Lace. “The fragrance, texture, color and shape of a rose can capture my imagi-nation and stir my creative desire, but so can the rug-ged character of a bearded face, lined with wisdom or wrinkled with care.”

Lace majored in art at Arkansas State University and received his bachelor of science degree in educa-tion. He attended a Plein Air workshop with Ken

DeWaard, a professor at the Academy of Fine Art in Denmark, Wisconsin and workshops with accom-plished oil painter Roger Dale Brown and watercol-orist Leslie Frontz.

Currently, Ron is the president of the Memphis/Germantown Art League and member of the artists link, the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, the American Impression-ist Society and the Inter-national Society of Acrylic Painters.

View his work in the lobby of Collierville Town Hall, 500 Poplar

View Pkwy. until Sept. 5. The Community Art Gallery is also showcas-ing work from Harmony Carrigan at the Morton Museum, 196 Main St., and Danielle Sierra at

the Harrell Theatre, 440 West Powell Road until Saturday.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

C’ville Town Hall displays Germantown artist’s work

Ron Lace’s artwork such as “Scouts Honor-Collierville Veterans Day Celebration” will be on display at Collierville Town Hall until Sept. 5.

Special to The Weekly

Scouts, leaders, and alumni will gather on Sat-urday to celebrate the 85th anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 48. Troop 48 is the fifth oldest of more than 180 Chickasaw Council Troops.

The celebration will be held at the Troop’s charter sponsor home, Faith Pres-byterian Church at 8816 Poplar Pike in German-town.

Guests will enjoy a deli-cious dinner prepared by the award-winning “Serial

Grillers” barbecue team, headed by assistant scout-master Richard Ralph.

Nashville-based coun-try music artist, songwrit-er and Troop 48 alumnus Rivers Rutherford will provide musical enter-tainment, and alumni of all ages will contribute heartwarming recollec-tions of the positive impact of Scouting on their lives.

The keynote speaker will be Roy Herron, chair-man of the Tennessee Democratic Party, former Tennessee senator and Eagle Scout.
