KIM ODOM/SPECIAL TO THE WEEKLY

Toni Williams, a Collierville mother of two, was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma breast cancer. She says her children gave her the will to ight the disease. On Oct. 14, Williams will celebrate 12 years of being cancer free.

By Kim OdomSpecial to The Weekly

As the director of membership services and special events for Spring Creek Ranch Golf Course, Toni Williams of Collierville spends her days in charge. As an event and

wedding planner she has power to change nearly everything and control of the outcome.

That wasn’t the case at age 34 when she was diag-nosed with ductal carcinoma breast cancer. There was no controlling what came next for Williams.

“I felt a lump under my arm on the side of my breast. I put it of … you know at that age you think you’re bulletproof,” said Williams.

When she realized the lump wasn’t going away she went to the doctor for a mammogram.

“The mammogram showed the possibility that it was more than a cyst,” said Williams.

She had a needle biopsy during a follow-up visit.

A few days later her doctor called her breaking the news that she did indeed have breast cancer. The good news was it was Stage 1 and very treatable.

“She told me, it’s early, but we do need to take care of it. It was 2002, the Monday before Thanksgiv-ing when I went in for a lumpectomy. One day after Christmas I began chemo,” said Williams.

For Williams it was devastating to accept that she had no control in this situation. As a single mom of two children, Dane Williams, a freshman in high school, and a daughter, Haley Williams, who was in ifth grade at the time, all she could think about was beating the cancer so her children wouldn’t be without a mom. As devastating as it was to know she had cancer, Williams says her children gave her the will to ight the disease.

Williams’ daughter, now 23, found a lump in her breast three years ago. “That, as a parent,” said Wil-

The word cancer isn’t new to Georgetta Roach Carr of Arlington.

At age 13, she lost her mother, Jeanetta Cole Roach, to cervical cancer. Her father, George Roach, fought prostate cancer and has been in remission for 12 years.

Her aunt, Ruth Cole, is a 38-year breast cancer survivor.

Still, Carr says it was a totally shock when she was diagnosed with Stage

1 breast cancer last year at age 43.

“All the way up to the biopsy, I remember think-ing this isn’t me. I’ve never had any problems or anything,” said Carr. “I couldn’t believe it. It was the shock of my life.”

The 1.4 cm lump was detected during a routine mammogram in May 2013. After the detection, a bi-opsy was performed. One week later, Carr got the news that she had breast cancer and her battle be-gan.

She and husband,

Driscoll Carr, were open and honest with their young daughters, Lauryn Carr, 13, and Madison Carr, 11.

“We agreed from the beginning that we would tell them,” explained Carr.

The Carr family’s world was turned upside down that day. The entire family

was scared of the outcome. They relied on their faith throughout every step of the process.

“I just decided this is not going to get me. We are not going to repeat history here,” Carr said referring to the loss of her mother

BATTLEGeorgetta Roach Carr of Arlington said she was totally shocked when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer last year. She underwent chemotherapy and radiation and is currently cancer free.

There’s been a rash of auto bur-glaries across the area, and po-lice say the crime is sometimes as simple as a cruising thief lipping the handle of a car door.

If the door opens, it’s free pick-ings. If not, move on to another because someone else left his car

unlocked in the next driveway or down the street.

It’s a crime of opportunity, police say. Over a three-month period in Bartlett, for example, there were reports of 47 auto-mobile burglaries — 24 from unlocked cars.

“A lot of people live in denial that this is actually occurring in the city of Bartlett,” said Insp. Steve Todd, head of the suburb’s criminal investigation division.

But the problem is not limited to Bartlett. Agencies across the county deal with such reports

constantly.The daily crime reports this

summer from Germantown rou-tinely contained the clause “sto-len from an unlocked vehicle,” in conjunction with thefts of laptops, purses, jewelry, credit cards, guns, sunglasses, cash, wallets and even a book.

“It amazes us the amount of laptops, iPads and other items people just leave in plain view,” said Asst. Chief Mark Dunbar of the Shelby County Sherif’s Oice.

“It surprises me that it still

happens regularly,” Todd said, noting, as did Dunbar, that au-thorities regularly warn people not to leave valuables in view and to lock their cars.

Some victims purposely leave their cars unlocked to avoid bro-ken windows, police said. Oth-ers are just absent-minded or forgetful.

One strategy for thieves ap-parently is as simple as pulling their vehicle alongside a car parked in the street and check-ing the door handle to see if it is unlocked without even get-

ting out of their car. If the door opens, the suspect pulls up a bit, parks, and ransacks the vehicle.

And in some cases, an un-locked car in the street or drive-way can provide access to the house because many homes in the suburbs have garages with remote control openers in the cars. A push of a button, and intruders have access to the second car, the contents of the garage and even the house if someone was as careless about locking their back door as they were their car.

Ashley Lawhorn was chosen by Collierville High students as homecoming queen, a dream come true for the senior special education student.

By Jennifer [email protected]

901-529-2372

Ashley Lawhorn’s learning disability is supposed to make social interactions a challenge for her.

And yet her special education teacher at Collierville High School has caught her on more than one occasion asking to go get a drink of water just to chat up her classmates in the hallway.

“She’s popular, that’s for sure,” teach-er Samantha Styfhoorn said. “Some-times I’m like, ‘Ashley, come on, we’ve got to get to class.’”

The 18-year-old’s popularity climbed to new heights after the students voted to name Lawhorn their homecoming queen. Lawhorn was crowned at half-time of the Sept. 19 football game.

“I screamed and cried,” she said, laughing, her eyes squeezing tight be-hind her black-rimmed glasses.

Principal Chip Blanchard said at the moment her name was called as queen, “the crowd cheered louder and stronger

than any other point in the evening.”Lawhorn wore a red gown given to

her by a friend, who speciically saved it to hand down to Lawhorn for her senior homecoming.

Color-coordinated senior Gray Han-sen locked arms with her proudly.

“I was honored to be able to escort her,” Hansen said.

Lawhorn’s mother, Tamakin Miller, was just as honored to have Hansen es-cort her daughter.

“When you have a special (education) child, as a parent, you worry who they’re going to be with, is this person safe,” Miller said. “I had no worries. Gray was awesome.”

Miller said even though her daugh-ter’s outward appearance doesn’t give away her disability, she worried about her communication skills getting her through high school.

“I always worried about if she was going to it in,” Miller said. “They em-braced her. They loved her. So I backed of.”

Her date said it has something to do with her smile — one she’s always wear-ing, and easily passes on to others.

“I have yet to see Ashley fail to bring a smile to somebody’s face,” Hansen said. “Just when she’s talking, you can’t help but smile.”

In addition to her own classroom work, Lawhorn works in the main of-ice and assists other special education students in their resource classes.

“I help people out a lot,” she said.From her mother’s perspective, the

school more than returned the favor.“Last year she told me, ‘Mom, I want

to become homecoming queen one day,” Miller said. “And Collierville made it happen.”

at a young age. “I am not leaving my daughters without a mother.”

Carr began chemo June 2. Her last treatment was Nov. 15. On Dec. 15, her oncologist scheduled the lumpectomy and found the tumor was gone. The tis-sue was tested and it was cancer free.

Carr’s radiation treat-ments began in January and continued into spring.

Besides accepting that she had cancer, Carr said the hardest part of her journey was going for treatment and seeing the number of patients, just like her, ighting the bat-tle of their lives. That was mentally hard. Physically, the hardest part was the AC chemotherapy. That, she said, is what really weighed her body down.

Sometimes after treat-ment, she would feel so weak she would have to leave the family and go back to her bedroom to be by herself. One day, she

recalls going back to her room, closing the door and at that moment realizing it was just her and God in this together. “That’s when I was closest to God … When they say your faith heals — that was me. My faith got me through that,” said Carr.

From that point on, her already strong faith took over. Carr said she never totally gave into the dis-ease. She walked every day, with her husband by her side. “It may not have been long walks, but I tried to walk or do something every day,” said Carr.

Carr continued to work throughout her treat-ments. “It was like therapy to me,” she said. “It helped

to keep go-ing.” Her goal was to keep everything as normal as possible for her family.

The Carr family had a huge support group to rely on. As a director for Medtronic, Carr received support from co-workers, from church members, and her friends at Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth Ailiate, where Carr has been a volunteer for years. “They were al-ways there for me,” she said.

These supporters were constant throughout Carr’s journey. On her i-nal day of treatment she was surrounded by her family and friends. And, when she rang the bell

during the ceremony at West Clinic celebrating the occasion they were there to celebrate with her.

As she relects on the pivotal moments, she re-calls in the midst of her treatments when she was really struggling, a co-worker presented her with Bible verse, Peter 5:10: “And after you have suf-fered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself re-store, conirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

Carr no longer takes one day for granted and the small stuf is just that. She says she never complains when there’s so much to do and so little time. “We (family) make it work. And, it’s a joy because ev-ery hour is an opportunity to me. It’s a blessing.”

Carr will soon celebrate a year cancer free. Her hair has grown back, her eyebrows and lashes have grown, and her strength is at 98 percent. “I feel thankful, faithful, and re-freshed,” she said. “I feel restored.”

CARR from 1

liams, “was the worst thing I’ve ever gone through. As I sat in the waiting room while she had her mammo-gram, it seemed like days.”

She is grateful that it wasn’t cancer but says her daughter has to be checked every six months because of family history.

Oct. 14 will mark the 12th year that Williams has been cancer free. Her journey changed the way she looks at life.

“I just don’t stress as much. The small things aren’t big things anymore,” said Williams.

As for her career, she loves the hustle and bus-tle of being in charge. And, she says, although she still holds her breath when she performs her breast ex-ams she does them every month … and so, she stays in charge of this situation too. Williams’ advice for women everywhere is, “Don’t ignore your body. You know your body bet-ter than anyone else.”

WILLIAMS from 1

That’s when I was closest to God …

When they say your faith heals — that was me. My faith got me through that.”

Each October, the Col-lierville Fire Department visits area schools to pro-mote a ire safety theme as established by the Nation-al Fire Protection Associa-tion. This year’s theme is “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives; Test Yours Ev-ery Month!”

For the very irst time, the Collierville Fire De-partment partnered with the New Day Children’s Theatre, with help from the Collierville High School TV Department, to produce a ire safety video for use in its 2014 ire prevention program. The majority of participating volunteers used to create the video are area teens.

“I am thrilled to have such enthusiastic, young

people to give of their time and talents to spread the message of ire safe-ty!” says Erin Daniels, Collierville Fire Depart-ment’s public education specialist. “Teens love communicating with one another. Presenting a ire safety message to their peers makes for a power-ful presentation.”

“Fired Up About Smoke Alarms!” was written by Collierville High School ninth-grader, Shayna Ryan, with mentoring provided by Lisa Sikes, a director from New Day Children’s Theatre. Sikes pitched a few concepts to Shayna who ran with the ideas to create a witty and fun but informative script. This spring, Daniels met with New Day’s President Le-anne Chasteen to discuss

the possibility of creating a ire safety skit to use during the fall. Chasteen said that the students at New Day could not only produce a script, but that they would be pleased to produce an entire video production to be shown throughout Col-lierville Schools.

The New Day Chil-dren’s Theatre of Collier-ville provided rehearsal space and a troupe of middle school and high school students to perform the script. Jef Robbins, the TV teacher at Collier-ville High School, shared the CHS space to ilm the video. Carrie Paulo, a New Day Director, led the stu-dent video team made up of Maggie Emmendorfer and Lucas Paulo through shooting and editing the project.

Sept. 8 was a well-de-served evening of for the cast and crew of the Poplar Pike Playhouse’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.”

These Germantown High School creative and performing arts students were less than 24 hours removed from two jam-packed days volunteering at the Germantown Festi-val. Some spent the week-end operating children’s activities to raise funds for the PPP. Others were part of GHS-TV’s three-hour Live Coverage of the 2014 Germantown Festival. Many took part in both.

“I love how challenging this department is,” said GHS senior Sydney Arm-strong, who plays Rona Lisa Perretti in the Play-house’s upcoming musical.

Armstrong is well aware of the demands placed on students in GHS’ interna-tionally recognized pro-duction workshop pro-gram. This unique class combines theater and tele-vision students who work together to operate the school’s community the-atre and community tele-vision station. Instead of lectures, students receive

hands-on training. Home-work is replaced by daily after-school shifts. For tests and exams, students play a role in massive theatre and television projects.

This is Armstrong’s third year in the class. She’s worked her way up the production ladder since her sophomore year. Along with her role in “Spelling Bee,” she co-hosted the live Festival show and was recently named moderator for Election Night 2014, the live TV production that will take center stage as soon as “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” closes Oct. 25.

“I’m also the Thespian president and an anchor for our news show,” said Armstrong. “I could see how some people would

get overwhelmed, but you learn how to manage your time really well in this pro-gram.”

Their musical comedy placed between two live television productions, the cast and crew of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” have just under six weeks to put to-gether a show before open-ing night on Oct. 16.

Purchase tickets online at ppp.org or by calling the Poplar Pike Playhouse box oice at 901-755-7775. The Poplar Pike Arts Guild will hold a special beneit per-formance on Oct. 16. All proceeds will go toward the GHS creative and per-forming arts department. This special performance will include a complimen-tary reception.

By Anita WadhwaniThe Tennessean

In Alabama, abortion rights advocates have set up an online crowdsourc-ing campaign to raise funds to help women get to Nashville for an abortion.

In northern Mississippi, where there isn’t an abor-tion clinic for hundreds of miles between Jackson and the Tennessee border, the National Organization for Women refers women fac-ing unwanted pregnancies to CHOICES, a Memphis abortion clinic.

In Kentucky, advocates have organized rides for women to clinics in Nash-ville and Bristol, Tenn. At least one Tennessee clinic, The Women’s Center in Nashville, advertises $25 discounts for out-of-state clients.

The growing number of women from other states seeking abortions in Tennessee has become a lashpoint in the debate over Amendment 1, a ref-erendum on the November ballot that gives Tennessee voters their irst chance to weigh in on abortion.

A “yes” vote will give Tennessee lawmakers more power to enact abor-tion regulations. Currently, the Tennessee constitution

provides some of the stron-gest privacy protections of any state, protections the state Supreme Court ruled more than a decade ago specifically extended to women seeking abortions.

A “no” vote will leave those constitutional pro-tections untouched.

Abortion rights sup-porters say the ight over Amendment 1 is not only about securing the rights of Tennessee women to make a deeply personal decision without onerous restrictions. It’s also a ight to shore up a “irewall” protecting abortion ac-cess for women across the South, who come to Ten-nessee from surrounding states because increasing-ly restrictive laws have led to clinic closures and new hurdles back home.

“This is the national line in the sand,“ said Rebecca Terrell, director of the CHOICES abortion clinic in Memphis, one of two clinics in the city where a third of all abortions in the state are performed. “Here we stand with this really strong constitution which is protecting wom-en’s rights and access to needed services. If that fails here, where else are women going to go? The bottom line is, they (abor-

tion opponents) don’t want women to have access to abortion here — or any-where in the South.”

Abortion opponents have fought for 13 years to get Amendment 1 on the ballot. They say Tennes-seans don’t want to live in a state that’s known as an abortion destination and that lawmakers should not have their hands tied in making “common sense” abortion policy decisions.

Measures approved by lawmakers but later struck down by the state Supreme Court on constitutional grounds include manda-tory waiting periods, the required distribution of materials about fetal de-velopment to women con-sidering abortions, and a rule requiring that second trimester abortions be per-formed in hospitals.

“We are at a historical crossroads,” said Brian Harris, president of Ten-nessee Right to Life. “We have the irst real concrete chance at this point in time to give lawmakers the abil-ity to enact safeguards for abortion, safeguards that were found constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court but not by our own state constitution.”

Women facing an un-planned pregnancy still

have a range of options, in-cluding adoption — but at least one woman said she is frightened at the pros-pect that abortion could be further restricted.

“It’s scary to be quite honest,” said Mae, who got an abortion at Planned Parenthood in Nashville last month and asked to be identiied only by her irst name. “The fact they’re buckling down on this isn’t going to stop women from seeking abortion.”

MESSAGE FROM THE PUlPiT

Churches across Ten-nessee on Sunday observed “Yes on 1” — a coordinated message from the pulpits of Southern Baptist, Assem-blies of God, United Pen-tecostal, Presbyterian and Free Will Baptist churches, among others — to make congregations aware of the abortion amendment.

It’s an efort backed by all three Catholic dioces-es in Tennessee. South-ern Baptist pastors are on board as well.

“Tennessee is sort of becoming the abortion capitol of the Bible belt,” Russell Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Con-vention, told a gathering of Southern Baptist ministers.

Amendment advocates say churches are crucial to their strategy. “We can’t win this without a strong

turnout from evangelical and Catholic voters,” Har-ris said.

The campaign is fo-cusing on voters who are already anti-abortion, Harris said. In an of year election, with low-turnout expectations, the election hinges on mobilizing those who are already commit-ted to the cause.

‘UNliMiTED AUTHORiTy’

Last week, in coordi-nated statewide “Vote No on 1 Weekend of Action,” about 300 volunteers par-ticipated in phone banks, open houses and knocking on doors in Chattanooga, Franklin, Johnson City, Memphis, Knoxville, Mur-freesboro and Nashville.

Campaign oicials say they hope to convince voters that Tennessee law-makers cannot be trusted to make reasonable rules.

Like the “Yes” cam-paign, abortion rights advocates working on the “No” campaigns are focusing on reaching out to voters who are already abortion rights supporters.

The Vote No on 1 cam-paign has been running behind their opponents in fundraising thus far, having raised a little more than $360,000 by the July iling deadline, compared to more than $518,000 for the Yes on 1 campaign. But campaign leaders say they are well on their way to a

goal of raising $4 million.Tennessee now has sev-

en abortion clinics, down from 16 in 2000, but more than in any other neigh-boring state except North Carolina.

“If this is passed, we will see eforts to ban all abor-tion past the irst trimes-ter regardless of the life or health of the mother, or the possibility it was a re-sult of rape or incest,“ said Tracey George, co-chair of the Vote No on One cam-paign and a Vanderbilt Law School professor. .

Those who want the amendment to pass hope Tennessee voters see it as more than just a matter of privacy. They see it as a matter of life and death.

As George Brogdon campaigns for German-town mayor on the prom-ise of bringing the three Germantown namesake schools into the municipal district, city and schools oicials are questioning whether that’s feasible, or if the mayor would even have a hand in those dis-cussions.

“We handed that baton” to the school district, City Administrator Patrick Lawton said.

Brogdon, who declined an interview, said at a Rotary Club of German-town meeting last month that getting the name-sake schools, known as the “3Gs,” from Shelby County Schools was his No. 1 priority. The schools are within Germantown’s borders, but last school year, more students at Ger-mantown High and Middle schools were from outside the city than in it.

“If I’m fortunate enough to be elected mayor, irst day on, we’re going to try and reclaim our 3Gs,” he said. “We’re going to work hard to do that. We’re not going to take ‘no.’”

Brogdon did not outline a speciic plan to obtain the schools, and Supt. Ja-son Manuel said he has not spoken with Brogdon on any school-related issues.

The race is the first

election since the school boards for six municipal districts formed less than one year ago. The question becomes how the mayor interacts with the new dis-trict and whether Brogdon could act on his promises.

In the creation of the district, Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy was part of the team with Lawton that negotiated to retain the ive schools that make up the Germantown Munici-pal School District.

Now that the district has its own administration and board, Lawton said, “those decisions and recommen-dations have got to come from that group.”

Manuel said the city’s partnership was vital as the district got up and running, but future discussion of buildings should originate with his board and staf.

He said the city fought hard to make the high school and middle school, as well as Germantown Elementary, part of the municipal district, and to promise to successfully

negotiate for them now is both “backward-thinking” and “reckless.”

“Those who are saying that (it’s possible) were not in the trenches,” Law-ton said. “They didn’t ight the ight.”

He said the city was faced with years of court battles if negotiators didn’t settle for only the five schools.

“Our concern was if we didn’t move forward with what we had, we wouldn’t have a school district by January irst,” he said.

Brogdon’s opponent, Alderman Mike Palazzolo, promises in his platform to continue the discussion with Shelby County, but to allow the new school board and its administra-tion to call the shots.

“I think the oice of mayor’s role is limited” as far as the schools, he said.

Manuel said he won’t stop asking, but has no reason to believe SCS Supt. Dorsey Hopson is going to relinquish any of the three schools.

By Steve O’DellSpecial to The Weekly

The American Council on the Teach-ing of Foreign Languages has named Hutchison the 2014 recipient of the Mel-ba D. Woodruf Award for Exemplary Elementary Foreign Language Program.

ACTFL, the nation’s premier author-ity on foreign language instruction, represents more than 12,000 language educators and administrators across the country. Under the visionary lead-ership of Head of School Dr. Annette Smith, World Languages chairwoman Alejandra Lejwa, and World Languages Visiting Scholar Dr. Audrey Heining-Boynton, Hutchison has designed a dy-namic early childhood and elementary world languages program that leads to a rigorous secondary program.

Beginning in Early Childhood and continuing through Lower School, im-mersion courses taught by expert teach-ers in Spanish and Chinese are integrat-ed with the science curriculum using a standards- and content-based approach

to develop a high level of oral proiciency that enables girls to excel not only in ad-vanced honors and Advanced Placement language courses in Hutchison’s Upper school, but also at the collegiate level and beyond.

“We like to say that we teach world languages like no other school, and I’m proud to say that we received valida-tion of that claim earlier this week from ACTFL. This honor attests to our out-standing expertise in teaching world languages and is particularly satisfying since it comes from a highly respected academic leader in language instruc-tion,” says Dr. Smith.

As outlined in Hutchison’s 2012-2017 strategic plan, the world languages pro-gram also provides girls with authentic

opportunities to develop a deep under-standing of other cultures as well as a global perspective. In addition to this year’s Woodruf Award, Hutchison re-ceived designation as a Confucius Class-room by the Confucius Institute at the University of Memphis and the Oice of Chinese Language Council International in 2011 based on the strength of its world languages and global education program.

Research shows that girls excel in the use of language and auditory skills at an early age, and teachers capitalize on these strengths to broaden and de-velop scientiic and mathematical skills in conjunction with language arts. At each grade level, interdisciplinary units in all curricula areas combine student-engaged learning with a rich mixture of small group and individual skill develop-ment activities. Spanish and Mandarin instruction follows Hutchison’s world language philosophy of proiciency over exposure.

Steve O’Dell is the community relations director for

Hutchison School.

Brianna Gould loves many things about Farmington Elementary.

Briarcrest hosted it’s annual Middle School Night at the Briarcrest vs. Jackson Academy varsity football game. Middle school football players, including Jackson Smith, Faiz Umar, Jackson Hogue, Ryan Tupma, Jerrod Gentry and Jack Gree, and cheerleaders were introduced to the fans pregame. The middle school band played for the national anthem and middle school cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers during the irst quarter of the game.

BRIANNA GOULDFarmington Elementary, third-grade teacher

Q What do you like most about your school?

A I love so many things about Farmington. This school is a

part of a wonderful community with many supportive families. Our faculty and administration genu-inely care about their teachers and doing what is best for students. I truly believe that this is one of the best schools in the country!

Q What was your favorite subject as a kid and why?

A Reading was my favorite sub-ject, because it came easy to

me at an early age. I loved read-ing chapter books and novels. The teachers I had were very supportive of me and cultivated in me a love for books and reading that I still have today. I feel that is one of the reasons I am so passionate about teaching and making sure my own students develop a love for reading.

Q Most challenging subject as a kid and why?

A Math was very challenging for me at times. I really struggled

with geometry. However, I know that has made me a better teacher, because I understand what it feels like to struggle with academics. I can identify with my students’ feel-ings when they don’t understand a concept.

Q What is the greatest challenge you face as an educator?

A As an educator, it can be a chal-lenge to ensure you are keeping

things in balance. If you put your students irst, then everything else will fall into place.

Q What do you hope to accomplish as an educator?

A I hope that I can be a blessing to each of my students. I also hope

that my students achieve all of their goals for the year. I want to prepare them for the next grade, but my larger goal is to prepare them for their entire future.

Q What is the most rewarding mo-ment you’ve had as a teacher?

A The most rewarding moments of all come from seeing a for-

mer student continuing to succeed and grow years after they have left my classroom, and knowing that I made a diference in their life.

Q Who is your teaching inspiration and why?

A My teaching inspiration is my sister, Ashley Brasield. She is

8 years older than I am, and I have always looked up to her. She was a teacher for many years, and now she is working in the Germantown Municipal School District central oice. As a college student, I would visit her classroom and watch her teach her students. Observing her teaching style and seeing the re-lationships she built with her stu-dents showed me that teaching is what I wanted to do.

Q Who is the person you most ad-mire and why?

A The person I admire the most is my father, Richard Speros. He

has the most faith out of all of the people I have met. He is generous, kind, and respectful to everyone. I strive to be just like him.

Q When did you know you wanted to be an educator?

A I knew I wanted to be an edu-cator when I was in college. I

visited my sister’s classroom and in-stantly knew that I wanted to make a diference in the lives of children.

Q If you weren’t a teacher, what would you be?

A I would be an artist or travel agent. I love to paint and actu-

ally have painted some of the art-work in my house. I love incorpo-rating art into my everyday lessons. It helps keep the students interest-ed, and l love to do whatever I can to help build that love for learning.

Collierville Municipal School Supt. John Aitken consistently shows his love and support for all students. This has carried over to the newly formed Collierville Schools.

Recently, Aitken visited irst graders at Sycamore and had lunch with them. Not only does “Mr. A,” as he is afectionately called, take time out of his busy schedule to make his pres-ence known in each of the eight Collierville schools, he also is fully engaged with the children he serves while in the build-ing.

The students were ex-cited to ind out that he taught so many teachers in the building. Their con-versation ended in “Wow,

is he is really tall!” District members can-

not help but love their leader, who is concerned about the welfare of our students in all areas —

academically, emotionally and socially.

Smith says Brock is one of those people. Brock isn’t quite so sure.

She finishes the dance. Nods her head to the imagi-nary audience.

“So how did it look?” she asks your faithful columnist.

Now, I’ll be honest. I’m no dance expert. But considering that in the last year, Brock has been treated for breast can-cer, delivered a baby and had a double mastectomy, it may have been the best — or at least the most hopeful — dance that has ever been danced.

WARRIOR PRINCESS The pink represents hope.

Hope and faith and solidar-ity with the victims of breast cancer. That’s why this news-paper is pink. That’s why pink abounds on this day and throughout this month.

So today, a particularly hopeful story. One that began in June 2013 when Brock, 36, felt a tiny lump in her breast.

“I have an extensive family history of breast cancer,” she said, so of to the West Clinic she went.

Sure enough, the lump was malignant. The doctors pre-pared to start treatment right away. But there was a compli-cation.

“I think I’m pregnant,” said Brock, and a quick test con-irmed it was so.

“I wasn’t going to terminate the pregnancy,” said Brock. “I

told the doctors, ‘Y’all are the doctors. Just tell me what we have to do.’ ”

Thus began a tricky medi-cal balancing act: How to treat the cancer without harming the fetus? How to make sure that mom and the baby both made it through?

“We had to wait until I was 16 weeks pregnant to perform a lumpectomy and a lymph node removal,” Brock said. “By the time I had the surgery, the cancer had progressed. But the lymph node came back negative. Then I started che-motherapy in November when I was 20 weeks along.”

She lost her hair. This caused some strange looks in the aisles at Target.

“I was big, bald and preg-nant,” said Brock. “Jason, my husband, would say people must think you’re a hot mess.”

But on April 11, Brock gave birth to a bouncing baby daughter. She named her Sam-mie Kate.

“We call her our little war-rior princess,” Brock said. “She went through chemotherapy and she went through surgery.

Not many 6-month-old babies can say that.”

‘DANCING WITH THE SURVIVORS’

As for Brock, she wasn’t quite done with her surgeries. On June 13, she had a double mastectomy.

“It was actually a Friday the 13th,” said Brock. “You can’t make this stuf up.”

And you can’t survive it without some laughter and some optimism, a truth to which Brock holds fast.

“I try to ind the silver lin-ing in all of it,” she said. “Like, if it hadn’t been for breast can-cer, I never would have started dancing. That’s the only rea-son I got involved.”

Brock heard that Benji Smith, the owner of the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Bartlett, was holding a “Danc-ing with the Survivors” beneit event to raise money for the Pink Fund. All the partici-pants were to be survivors of breast cancer or people danc-ing in honor of survivors of breast cancer.

“It really sounded like a lot of fun,” said Brock. “But I was a cheerleader in high school, I was never a dancer. Unless you’re talking about shaking your rump in a club.”

So two months ago, Brock showed up for her irst les-son. It was not long after her double mastectomy.

“The irst lesson was a little

touchy, a little diicult,” she said. “Trying to igure out what kind of movements I could do. “

Gradually, she got bet-ter. Smith asked what sort of dance she wanted to dance.

“I said, ‘OK, where on the scale do you want to be? Do you want to be elegant? Do you want to be sexy?’ ” said Smith. “She said, ‘I want to be sexy.’ ”

So the rumba it would be.Brock will dance it Thurs-

day night at the event at Jim Keras Chevrolet. They’ll have pink punch and food from Ma-ria’s Cantina and the Elegant Farmer. Tickets are $75. Sam-mie Kate will be there, wear-ing a pink bow.

And at some point in the evening, Brock will take the loor and dance with a joy that is well-earned.

“To me, this is the good stuf,” she said. “I’m having a blast.”

One thing about the rumba.

“It’s not the same as shaking your rump in a club,” said Elizabeth Brock, who should know.

Brock is doing the rumba in preparation for a dance exhibition Thursday night. She is spin-ning and dipping and moving her hips.

“It’s a sexy dance,” says dance instructor Benji Smith. “Some people just know how to move.”

A DANCE OF HOPEAfter finding a lump in her breast, Elizabeth Brock learned she had cancer — and was pregnant. But her daughter, Sammie Kate Brock, was born healthy. “We call her our little warrior princess,” Brock says. “She went through chemotherapy and she went through surgery. Not many 6-month-old babies can say that.”

“I was always convinced cancer would get me.”

Irene Rodda grew up in a family of teachers, a family who taught her to equate knowl-edge with power. And for the 35-year-old Collierville moth-er of two, the knowledge that she possessed a gene mutation linked to a high-risk of breast cancer gave her the power to take preventive measures.

There is a history of cancer in Rodda’s family. Her mater-nal grandmother died from breast cancer at 36. Her father passed away from leukemia in 1998. Ten years later, Rodda’s mother was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.

After her mother’s diagnosis, Rodda decided to have a BRCA gene test. The genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 are muta-tions known as breast cancer “susceptibility” genes and can be passed down from parents to children.

Rodda’s results came back. They were positive. She carries the BRCA2 gene mutation.

“When I found out, I actually felt a sense of relief,” said Rod-da. “It was like, ‘OK, I know the enemy I’m facing, and I know what I can do about it.’ It made me feel more in control.”

Doctors told Rodda that her risk for developing breast can-cer was 84 percent, and she began having mammograms every six months. After a few years, the anxiety associated with the frequent testing began to wear on her.

“I was having these mam-

mograms — what felt like con-stant exams — to try to catch it as early as possible,” she said. “I couldn’t deal with the worry, every time I had an appoint-ment.”

Rodda was convinced, as she puts it, that the cancer was go-ing to get her. The New York native was living at the time in the Boston area, where she joined a support group called Facing Our Risk of Cancer Em-powered.

In 2012, she attended the an-nual FORCE conference and met several women who had undergone prophylactic double mastectomy, a surgical proce-dure in which both breasts are removed. Prophylactic mastec-tomies in high-risk women can lower the risk of developing cancer by 90 percent, accord-ing to the National Cancer In-stitute. Rodda also spoke with women who had tested positive for the mutation but had de-cided not to have the surgery. Many women who have the mutation never develop breast cancer, and every person’s risk level is diferent. The decision to have gene testing, or to go a step further and have prophy-lactic surgery, said Rodda, is an extremely personal one.

Yet after the conference, Rodda said she felt better in-formed and ready to make a decision for herself. “Surgery isn’t for everyone,” said Rodda, “but I felt it was my best option.”

With her mind made up, Rodda began planning for her surgery. Then, Rodda’s husband, Ben, accepted a job in Memphis and the family moved. She had a double mas-tectomy here in January of

2013. Her risk for developing breast cancer has now dropped to less than one percent, she said.

The recovery process was incredibly diicult, both phys-ically and emotionally. Rodda opted for reconstruction, and complications led to her having to receive emergency surgery in May of last year. Her im-plants, by choice, are smaller

than her former breasts, and she no longer has nipples.

“There were moments af-ter the surgery when I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t really feel like a wom-an,” said Rodda. “I didn’t feel that way too much, but it is emotionally diicult, and it’s not a choice for everyone.”

Now that more than a year has passed since her surgery,

Rodda says she is at peace with her choice and ready to move on with the rest of her life. Sev-en months ago, she gave birth to her second child.

“I’ve lowered my risk to a number that I can live with,” said Rodda. She added that the love and support she received from her family, and especially from her husband, helped her through the process.

FIGHTING

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER GENETIC TESTING FOR BRCA1 AND BRCA2 MUTATIONS?Most experts agree that gene testing should only be performed when a person’s family history suggests the possible presence of a harmful mutation. Family history factors associated with an increased likelihood of having a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 include:

■ Breast cancer diagnosed before the age of 50 ■ Cancer in both breasts ■ Both breast and ovarian cancers ■ Multiple breast cancers ■ Two or more primary types of BRCA1- or BRCA2-related cancers in a single family member

■ Cases of male breast cancer ■ Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity

COURTESY OF IRENE RODDA

Collierville mom Irene Rodda, with her husband, Ben, and two children, said finding out she carries the BRCA2 gene was a relief. “It was like, ‘OK, I know the enemy I’m facing, and I know what I can do about it.”

Christine Horrice shares her story in church, at the gro-cery store, the gas station. The 63-year-old Midtown woman talks about her personal battle against breast cancer with any-one who will listen.

“The more you talk, maybe you can reach somebody,” said Horrice. “Cancer is no joke, but it can be beat.”

Nine years ago, when Hor-rice noticed changes in her breasts, she wasn’t sure what was going on. She certainly didn’t think she had cancer.

“It was like they had started shrinking,” Horrice recalled. She told a co-worker about her observations, and the co-work-er said it was probably stress. Still worried, though, Horrice talked to a friend in the medi-cal ield. Her friend advised her to get a mammogram as soon as possible. Horrice was in her mid-50s, but annual mam-mograms weren’t a part of her health care routine.

After the mammogram, doc-tors told Horrice they needed to do a biopsy. It was at that point, Horrice said, that she tried to prepare herself for bad news.

“I was so naive,” Horrice said. “I didn’t have any history (of breast cancer) in my family, and I said, ‘This can’t happen to me, this is a white woman’s disease!’”

The results came back and Horrice learned she had de-veloped advanced (Stage IV) breast cancer. Horrice was shocked, scared. She said she had always associated the word cancer with death, and she didn’t want to talk about her situation with anyone.

At the recommendation of a friend, she looked into a lo-cal support group called Carin’

and Sharin’. Founded in 1989, The Carin’

and Sharin’ Breast Cancer Edu-cation and Support Group was the irst support group for mi-nority and underserved wom-en in Tennessee. The nonproit organization was founded by oncology social worker Gwen-dolyn Brown.

In addition to helping con-nect women, Brown works to raise awareness about the high mortality rate among socioeco-nomically disadvantaged black women in the Memphis area.

Even though white women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, black wom-en have a higher risk of dying from it, according to a study re-leased in 2013 by Sinai Urban Health Institute and the Avon Foundation and published in the journal Cancer Epidemi-ology. The study found that Memphis has the highest can-cer disparity rate in the coun-

try. Black women are twice as likely to die from breast cancer here as white women. There’s no genetic explanation for the diference that “readily its” the data, the study found.

Rather, it seems that as tech-nological advances in screen-ing and treatment have come into use, women who are poor and underinsured have had less of a chance of accessing them. The gap in outcomes, which didn’t really exist in the 1980s, has grown substantially in the last two decades, with no signs of slowing down.

Each Carin’ and Sharin’ monthly group meeting begins with an update on members too ill to attend the session. Women in the group plan visits for sick members, helping them by cooking a meal, throwing in a load of laundry or simply lending an ear. About 60 wom-en attend the group meetings each month.

While members come from a wide range of backgrounds, Brown said she’s met many women who struggle to make the choice between continuing treatment and putting food on the table for their families. The organization currently helps pay bills for some of its members while they are in treatment, but Brown said there’s more need than there is funding.

“It’s my dream that some of these women — the single parents, the ones who are alone — that they can come to this group and we can pick them up and take over, take care of all of their bills for them while they are in therapy. That’s my dream.”

For members such as Hor-rice, the emotional support provided by the group has helped her cope with the toughest battle of her life. Two years ago, Horrice’s cancer re-

turned in her spine and pelvis. “I had always said that if it

came back, I was just going to be done, no more chemo, no more treatment,” said Hor-rice. “But then it did, and I’m not done yet.”

LORETTA’S STORY

loretta mc-Coy hill, 65, is a ive-year breast cancer survivor. mcCoy-hill caught the cancer at an early stage after she went in for her annual mammogram and her doctor noticed an abnormality. While waiting on the results of a biopsy, a friend gave her advice that she now shares with others.

“Take a tape recorder with you, when you are going to the oice to hear the results,” said mcCoy-hill. “Because if the results are positive, you’re not going to hear anything after the word cancer.”

after mcCoy-hill learned she had cancer, another friend told her to call the hot pink hotline, which is the Carin’ and sharin’ support group number. she did and soon she received a pink envelope in the mail, telling her about the group’s next meeting. she’s been a member ever since

“i’m so glad to have made this connection,” she said. “There’s a diverse mixture of women, from all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. We talk about cancer, about our situations, and each month an expert comes to talk with the group about the latest developments and research.”

mcCoy-hill said the love and support she received from her friends, family and members of the group helped her during treatment and recovery more than she can put into words.

“i will still listen to that tape and think about how far i’ve come,” she said. “Cancer turned the tide in my life, such that i became more attuned to just how important it is to interact with other people, and to be honest with yourself. i made up my mind that this is not going to bring me down.”

For more information, call the hot pink hotline at 901-484-9624 or visitcarinsharin.org.

Before sisters Susan Tanner and Lynn Barcroft opened their East Mem-phis boutique, breast cancer survivors in need of breast prostheses and sup-plies had few options regarding the en-vironment in which they were itted.

“We felt that women deserved more than to be itted in a sterile sort of setting,” said Barcroft. “We wanted them to feel special, feminine and like they were still a whole woman.”

Seeing an opportunity to improve experiences for local women, the sis-ters opened Pink Ribbons, a mastecto-my and lymphedema boutique, in 2011 and have now served more than 1,000 women in the Mid-South area. They brought decades of medical expertise with them; Barcroft’s background is in nursing and Tanner’s is in orthotics.

On a woman’s irst visit to Pink Ribbons, whether it’s before sur-gery for a pre-op itting or for post-surgical garments, the owners begin by explaining the customer’s health insurance beneits.

“We want women to come in before surgery, because there’s a lot of teach-ing, and hand-holding, and referrals we provide for them,” said Tanner. “And we always talk to our customers about lymphedema because we have found that the doctors aren’t.”

Anyone who has had a mastectomy, lumpectomy, radiation treatment, lymph node removal surgery, infec-tion or trauma to the limbs may be at risk for developing lymphedema. Lymphedema is a buildup of lymph

luid under the skin that can cause signiicant, painful swelling, usually in one arm or leg. It’s a condition that is treatable but not curable.

“We talk at length about lymph-edema with our customers because they are at risk and we want them to be aware of the causes and know what to look for,” said Tanner.

For customers who have already developed lymphedema, Pink Rib-bons ofers compression sleeves in a wide range of colors and patterns that look much more stylish than a routine lesh-colored sleeve.

The options for prostheses are also plentiful. There are breast forms available in all sizes, shapes and col-ors. Beautiful bras line the walls with a selection that shows the bras can be as lirty, sporty, sexy, fun or func-tional as any other kind of bras on the market. The store also ofers a sports line, as well as swimwear, pajamas, camisoles and other garments.

“There’s so much more available than there used to be,” said Barcroft. “We’re seeing younger women being diagnosed, and they need to be able to ind things to wear.”

Great gift items can also be found at Pink Ribbons, from cute chemo beanies to “Fight Like A Girl” stick-ers and mugs.

Three years after opening the store, the sisters said they couldn’t be hap-pier with their decisions to leave their medical careers to open this business.

“We’ve seen a lot of blessings through this,” said Barcroft. “Our customers are wonderful. There are times when we cry with them, but we laugh a whole lot more.”

As a breast cancer survi-vor, volunteering and sup-porting the Susan G. Komen Memphis-MidSouth Ailiate is Dana Mann’s way of pay-ing it forward.

It’s the irst year the South-aven resident has volunteered for the Race for the Cure. Her own journey is a testament that breast cancer patients can survivor the disease.

A 4-cm lump was detected during a routine mammo-gram. She was 35, ive years from the commonly recom-mended age for having the irst mammogram.

The memory of her jour-ney, Mann says, is etched in her mind forever as “the day my world stood still.” It was Dec. 8, 2011, when she got that dreaded call conirming the biopsy performed a few days earlier revealed breast cancer. She was diag-nosed with iniltrating ductal carcinoma.

Mann endured a lumpecto-my and lymphoid dissection, followed by eight rounds of chemo and 33 rounds of ra-diation. For eight months, she fought with everything she had. But, Mann said, she didn’t do it alone.

In her mid-30s, Mann’s family members and friends came to the rescue. Her boyfriend of eight years, Chris Sloan was by her side throughout the journey.

“I never went it alone,” said Mann. “I never went to an appointment alone. Someone was always there. They washed my hair. They cooked dinner. They did any-thing and everything they

could for me.”As her boyfriend, Sloan

said, “It was tough watching her go through the pain of it all.” For Mann, the radia-tion treatments were tough-est. Sloan did everything

he could to show his sup-port. On Valentine’s Day, just about a month after her irst chemo treatment, Sloan said, “We shaved our heads together. We had breakfast, then we shaved our heads right there in the kitchen.” That was his Valentine’s gift to his sweetie.

Close to her heart, Mann often wears a pink ribbon necklace, a gift from her sis-ter, Cristi Mann, and a pink charm bracelet, given to her by another family member. Tattooed on her foot is the slogan, “Fight Like a Girl!” These trinkets are remind-ers of the battle she fought and won. She is cancer free.

It was a tough road to trav-el. As she looks back, Mann says she wouldn’t change the path she had to take to get where she is today. “I think it happened the way it was meant to happen. I’m a

stronger person for it,” she said.

“She’s a ighter,” said Sloan. “She is the stron-gest person I know.”

“Today I feel optimis-tic, blessed and strong,” said Mann. “It makes you realize just how precious

life is because you never know what life will bring you. You just gotta go for it.”

“I have a much brighter outlook on life with positive thoughts that keep me going,” added Mann. “You have to be more positive to know you can do what you want to do.”

That, she says is the message she wants every woman out there to hear — especially those struggling through breast cancer treat-ment right now. Mann sums it all up, saying, “It’s a long and winding road illed with struggles, but a positive out-look and determination will carry you through, because giving up is not an option.”

Neighbors along McVay Road in Germantown are ighting the city’s proposal to replace a sharp curve in the road with a more grad-ual turn that would elimi-nate a portion of wooded area.

The handful of residents who live near the curve said they are worried removing the trees will harm the area aesthetics, and smoothing the turn too much will encourage speeding.

The city hosted a public meeting with the project engineers and neighbors last Wednesday night to present plans and a time-line for construction of the two-lane road between Messick to Riverdale roads.

City Engineer Tim Gwaltney said the latest plans for the western end of McVay came from a need to replace the bridge just south of the harsh turn. He said the bridge is more than 50 years old and consistently rated “fair” or “poor” when inspected.

“It’s not getting any bet-ter,” Gwaltney said. “It was identiied in ’05 as a bridge that need to be replaced.”

The city has tried to re-place the road since then, but plans never made it past the design stage due to funding. The project is on the city’s list of capital improvements for this iscal year, although con-struction would not start until 2016.

Design consultant Drake Danley of Kimley Horn said the city was ap-proved for federal funding

but must abide by several guidelines and repair the entire stretch of roadway.

“When you’re getting federal money, you get a bunch of federal hoops to go with it,” he said.

The version of the proj-ect the federal government would approve costs $1.95 million, of which German-town would cover 20 per-cent.

Residents asked the cost to just replace the bridge, which they said is their biggest concern. Danley said it would be about $1 million, and Germantown would have to pay for all of it.

McVay Road resident Michael Stoll questioned whether the bridge need-ed immediate repair or if it was something that could wait.

The wooded area in question has been a pos-sible site for development for years, he said, and any developer would have to repair that road and bridge as part of construction at no cost to the city.

“Why would the city want to pay $400,000 when the neighbors aren’t asking for it?” Stoll said.

Gary Smith, a German-town resident who does not live on the curve, ex-pressed concern about the environmental impact on wildlife as well as the view residents will have from their homes.

Part of the existing roadway would remain, al-though it would be closed to traic because of access to sewer and gas lines in the area.

Gwaltney and Danley asked residents to submit their concerns in writing for consideration.

Neighbors balk at McVay Road plans

Last semester I had the pleasure of sitting in on a class at the University of Memphis, taught by ilm director Tom Shadyac. Known for Hollywood hits includ-ing “Ace Ve n t u r a : Pet Detec-tive” and “Bruce Al-mighty,” his recent work includes the documen-tary, “I AM,” and book, “Life’s Operating Manual.” Here in Memphis, though, he is becoming even more popular for his generosity. His goal is kindness and teaching students that if you want to receive in life, you must give!

Growing up, we are molded by our family, teachers, mentors, friends, faith, media and other so-cial inluences. As parents and leaders, the behaviors we choose to reward will be become our future. There is a diference in re-inforcing “you have to BE the best” versus “you must DO your best” and be kind and a good sport, in the process.

Encouragement is the key! Organizations like JIFF (jifyouth.org) and tn-Achieves (tnachieves.org) have great success with youth because volunteers mentor, share their time, and do simple things like sending text messages of encouragement.

Last month, Collierville ireighters visited area preschools to teach the role of ireighters in the community to kick of the Collierville Fire Department’s Kid Safe Program.

Children learned that ireighters put out ires and help rescue people. They also learned about the special clothing a ireighter wears called turnout gear. A ireighter in his or her turnout gear may look intimidating so children got to meet and greet an actual ireighting crew and see a demonstration of a ireighter put-ting on their turnout gear piece by piece.

“This information is so important to share with children because we do not want children to fear ireighters in a ire emergency,” said Erin Daniels, public education specialist for the Collierville Fire Department. “If there is ever a ire emergency, we want a child to run toward a ireighter, not run away from one.”

The Collierville Fire Department’s Kid Safe Program consists of eight lessons especially designed for 3 and 4-year-old children over the course of the school year. Daniels visits 15 schools monthly to teach ire safety lessons to the Collierville preschool population. Each lesson is rein-forced with an activity or song along with

a take-home handout for children to share with their parents. To learn more about the Kid Safe Program, contact Daniels at 901-457-2485.

St. George’s Independent School was pleased to re-cently welcome Women of Hope International, an or-ganization that equips and helps women with disabili-ties living in Sierra Leone.

The president and CEO of Women of Hope, Kim Kargbo, introduced two women, Hawa and Ruth, who have sufered extreme circumstances but are now working with the group to educate their communi-ties. They spoke to stu-dents about the problems they face as a society and ways they teach their com-munity how to cope with a family member that has a disability. They have also done extensive work to help educate communities about the prevention and treatment of Ebola.

Hawa became blind from Measles at 3 months and now serves on the board of

directors for the Women of Hope. She views her role on the Women of Hope board as an opportunity to pro-vide personal insight into the lives of women with disabilities.

Ruth began working with Women of Hope as a ield oicer but was quick-ly promoted to program manager. Having come

through a set of extreme-ly diicult circumstances, her testimony brings hope and confidence to the women she serves.

The Institute for Citi-zenship Speaker Series brings outstanding gov-ernment, business, and volunteer leaders at all lev-els to the school to inform and inspire the students.

There is a style and look that is prudently managed by Town of Collierville De-velopment, Planning and Engineering employees. By blending the old with new structures and turning or-dinary into stylized designs, the Collierville way created a much-needed stormwater detention pond and made it look like a park.

The Queen Oaks Re-gional Detention Pond, when not illed with storm-water, has the appearance of a park-like setting, sur-

rounded with sidewalks and homes in the northeast area of Collierville. Trees line the water channels that funnel water out.

Deputy Town Engineer Jason Walters was the proj-ect manager for the design and construction of Queen Oaks.

Queen Oaks Regional Detention Pond is trian-gular shaped and was completed in 2013. It holds about 14,662,000 gallons of stormwater.

Urban Design is the in-dustry term for the Collier-ville style of growth and development. It is described

as “the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages — primarily with the design and man-agement of public spaces, and the way public spaces are experienced and used.”

Detention basins or ponds provide general lood protection by con-trolling extreme floods such as a 100-year storm event. Usually built as new, ponds help manage the excess water runof generated by constructed impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots and rooftops of subdivisions or retail areas.

When meeting Lou Celli, 78, a person might first ask how to pronounce his name. “It’s Italian and pronounced like cello,” he replies. Does he speak Italian? “No. I’m second-generation Italian, but I speak Zulu.”

That surprising answer leads to a discussion of the love of his life: Schools for HIV/AIDS orphans in Zambia. Since 2001, he and his wife, Cynthy, have started 10 communi-ty schools throughout the country that have an en-rollment of 2,955 children in grades K-7. Grades 8 and 9 were added recently in one school, Luminary in Lusaka.

The couple founded Jo-seph’s Coat Ministries Inc., in 2002. It feeds, educates, supports and evangelizes this vulnerable group of children.

Their African connec-tion began in the 1990s during missionary trips. One trip for Lou included preaching in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and picking up a bit of Zulu. He went north to nearby Zam-bia, a landlocked country shaped somewhat like a peanut shell that borders Zimbabwe, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Mozam-bique and Malawi.

“What I saw broke my heart,” he said. Lou learned there were an es-timated 1.2 million chil-dren in Zambia who were orphaned, because their parents had died of AIDS. The children he saw were malnourished, listless, without hope and without

a chance of education. He wanted to send this

message to the children. “You are important be-cause God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit loves you. In God’s eyes, you are sig-nificant, and God has a plan for your life and has a place for you in his kingdom.”

He came home. “I told my church, Christ the Rock in Memphis, we have to do something. The pas-tor, Fred Bennett, said, ‘Go for it,’ ” Lou said.

Lou brought his admin-istrative skills to the task. Before retirement, his ca-reer had included serving as director of operations for Mattel Toys, and presi-dent of firms including Ori-on Industries in Hong Kong and TCI in Ashland, Mis-sissippi. He also has served as church administrator at a church in Minnesota and at Christ the Rock.

Cynthy said, “Lou has a great sense of doing the right thing.”

Joseph’s Coat Ministry began in 2002 with 65 chil-dren in Ipusukilo, Zambia.

“When we started feeding the kids, we went up to 400 children, Lou said.

Over the years, Christ the Rock gave between $100,000 and $400,000 as seed money, Lou said. The ministry’s budget last year was $57,000. Joseph’s Coat makes the money stretch because Feeding the Na-tions, another evangelis-tic ministry, provides the food, he said. The food is a rice-enriched product that is packed with nutri-ents. “It’s so good that if a child has malnutrition and takes it for 30 days, he doesn’t have malnutrition anymore,” Lou said.

The ministry has grown to 200 partners, including Art Phillips, who retired as a project manager from Buckeye Technologies. Phillips has known Lou for 20 years. “Lou came back from Africa and told of visiting a village where the children ate two days a week. He knew he could feed them for 25 cents a day,” Phillips remembered. Over the years he watched

as Lou began feeding chil-dren, then clothing them and then educating them. “It’s an unbelievable ac-complishment for some-one at his stage in life,” Phillips said.

“We’ve built some really good schools, but it’s been a slow process,” Lou said. Jo-seph’s Coat started a simi-lar program in Appalachia in 2011 in Hardin County in eastern Kentucky, Lou said.

The name Joseph’s Coat was chosen because of the administrative ability of Joseph, a biblical character in Genesis.

“Joseph dreamed big,” Lou said. “We’re dreaming big. I see us as getting into every community school in Zambia and feeding, educating, and evangeliz-ing the children.”

Lou and Cynthy are ordained ministers. They attend Church of the Har-vest in Olive Branch.

The personal rewards of their African connection for the Cellis make them weep. “This work is our life,” they both stressed.

“We know God wants us doing this. When you say, ‘Here I am. Use me,’ you form a relationship with God. We’re running out our destiny. That’s ba-sically what we’re doing,” Lou said.
