Fortunately, Don Samu-els of Collierville doesn’t meet strangers.

As the Delta Fair was winding down a week ago, chain saw artist Josh Landry was hoping to stick around a few weeks rather than returning to his home in Maine with his wife, Magen.

Samuels and his wife, Renee, connected the couple with Carol Pace, who runs Past & Presents Collective Boutique near downtown Collierville. Pace owns a vacant grassy lot next to her store.

“We just fell in love with them. He’s super talented and immediately likable,” Renee Samuels said. “It is very unexplainable. He got adopted by everyone.”

Added Pace, “The com-munity reached out to him. They’ve invited them to church, taken them to din-ner. It’s just amazing that the network — worked. Here’s this guy from Maine who knows no one.”

The Southern hospital-ity has overwhelmed the Landrys. They leave Fri-day for West Virginia, but are returning next year to Collierville, where Landry has a growing fan base for his work.

“We really enjoy the ac-cents — the y’all and all that,” Landry said as he took a break from carving.

Landry also has encoun-

tered a bit of culture shock to his palate, sampling catish, hushpuppies and coleslaw for the irst time. “We had something and biscuits,” Landry said mo-mentarily stumped before agreeing with a suggestion

of gravy.Although Landry is only

28, he’s carved wildlife and undersea scenes for 13 years. He deftly uses stains or airbrushes accent colors

It wasn’t so much the bed-and-breakfast part, but rather the special-events venue that took up about 20 minutes of the town planner’s presenta-tion Monday night.

After hearing detailed plans for the use of amplii-ers, parking and the number of people allowed for indoor (49) and outdoor (200) events, the Collierville Board of May-or and Aldermen asked only a few questions about the pro-posed Stratton House Bed & Breakfast at 198 Natchez, just a few blocks from Town Square.

By a 5-0 vote, the board granted a conditional use permit to Hampton and Ka-tie Parr to turn the home and one-acre lot into a B&B and a special-event venue for pri-vate parties.

The approval means the town now has its irst B&B in recent history.

Before the vote, Mayor Stan Joyner said, “There’s no doubt there’s been a need in the town. I hope it will be well received by the neighbors.”

Alderman Billy Patton sug-gested that if any neighbors object to parking in front of their homes, they can rope that area of as a no-parking zone.

Cory Brady with Integrat-ed Land Solutions assured the board the owners will continue working with the neighbors because the Parrs have a 12-lot subdivision they are developing in addition to the B&B.

“We have to sell the lots,”

Man killed by grizzly bear in Canada

A grizzly bear attacked and killed a Germantown man who was hunting in Canada last week.

Ken Novotny was killed Wednesday when he and his guide were attacked while hunting near the town of Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories.

Novotny was hunting moose, and had just killed one, confirmed Becky Pendleton, who coaches Novotny’s daughter on the Houston High volley-ball team. As Novotny was prepping the moose to be taken out of the wilder-ness, the bear “came out of nowhere” and struck him in the head, Pendle-ton said.

The guide was unin-jured.

Novotny, who went on such hunting trips annu-ally, was a managing di-rector at Raymond James.

Bailey challenging Ford on commission

Shelby County Commis-sioner Walter Bailey chal-lenged the authority of the commission chairman, securing the seven votes necessary to block the ap-pointments for committee chairmen and member-ships to outside boards.

During the County Commission meeting Monday, Bailey said he had “policy concerns” about chairman Justin Ford’s appointments.

Earlier this month Bai-ley, who at 74 has served 39 years on the commis-sion, lost the battle for the chairman’s seat to Ford, 29, in a 7-5 vote.

Voting with Bailey to refer the two appoint-ment resolutions back to the general government committee were Demo-crats Willie Brooks, Mel-vin Burgess, Eddie Jones, Reginald Milton and Van Turner. They were joined by Republican Steve Basar.

The Germantown residents of the Nottoway neighborhood will no longer push back against the city’s proposal to rezone 58 acres that includes Kirby Farms, the homeowner association’s attor-ney said Monday during a public

hearing on the issue.Hunter Humphreys said the

compromise made on the West-ern Gateway plan “is a result that they certainly can live with.”

“They understand the need for this Western Gateway plan to be approved for the beneit of Ger-mantown and are willing to accept and not reject this compromised result,” Humphreys said.

The issue passed a second reading from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen Monday night and moves to a third and inal read-

ing at the board’s next meeting.The plan involves 58 acres at

the western end of the city be-tween Poplar and Poplar Estates, backing up on one end to Notto-way. The zoning overlay would allow any existing businesses in the region to remain, while allow-ing for increased development.

The original plan had possible ive-story buildings backing up to the neighbors’ property. The compromised version includes a 150-foot bufer from the prop-erty lines of Nottoway where

any structure could be no taller than three stories. After 150 feet, structures could be up to ive sto-ries, or six stories if a warrant is approved.

Farther away from the neigh-borhood, buildings up to eight stories would be allowed, and up to 10 with a warrant.

Economic and community development director Cameron Ross said there are no speciic plans for that area yet, but devel-opers are waiting on the zoning vote to move forward.

The plan, in the works for almost two years, has jumped between the Planning Commis-sion and the aldermen as resi-dents pleaded for more time and concessions from developer Ray Gill. The Planning Commission irst approved the zoning over-lay last year before the aldermen sent it back for reconsideration.

Walker Taylor, a resident in the area and owner of the Ger-mantown Commissary, said he still has concerns that homes are “going to be towered over.”

First lady Michelle Obama chats Sept. 17 with patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She used the occasion to emphasize the importance of the work done in the hospital that has helped raise the survival rate of childhood cancers.

ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL

First lady visits

By Tom [email protected]

901-529-2572

She declared that she didn’t like to do selies, but on Sept. 17, before a select group of kids in Memphis, irst lady Michelle Obama made an emphatic exception.

“All right, you guys, let’s do selies,” Obama told more than a dozen patients at St. Jude Chil-dren’s Research Hospital.

In a visit that was delayed near-ly two hours by aircraft problems, Obama held forth for an hour with patients, chatting and doing art-work with them amid the pastel surroundings of the hospital’s Activities Room. Although the event was closed to the general public, the irst lady took ques-tions from the kids that touched on everything from favorite foods and sports teams to her proliic travel.

She used the occasion to em-phasize the importance of St. Jude’s mission to ight cancer and other deadly childhood dis-eases. Since its founding in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, the hospital’s laboratory and clinical advances have helped boost childhood cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent, with researchers eyeing a goal of 90 percent within the next decade.

“I think it’s really good to be

able to highlight the great work that’s going on here,” Obama said.

Carrying on a tradition dat-ing back three decades, Obama was the fourth irst lady to visit St. Jude, the others being Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton.

Such high-proile visits are vital to St. Jude, which doesn’t charge for patients’ treatment and costs $2 million a day to operate, said Rick Shadyac Jr., president and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising arm of the hospital. Aside from some public money, most of its funding comes from individual contributions.

“We have a long tradition of hosting presidents, vice presi-dents and irst ladies, and I think that speaks to the magnitude of our mission,” Shadyac said.

Family members of the pa-tients who visited with Obama concurred that the visit was ben-eicial.

“Anything that gives more ex-posure to St. Jude can’t be any-thing but great,” said Audrey Da-vis, mother of 13-year-old sickle cell anemia patient Courtney Da-vis, who introduced Obama to the audience at the event.

But the irst lady’s visit did bring some inconvenience to patients’ families. On Sept. 15, when the visit was announced, St. Jude sent families a letter notify-

ing them that for those patients who had hospital appointments scheduled for Sept. 17, tight secu-rity dictated that, in most cases, only one family member should accompany them. No appoint-ments were canceled because of the visit, hospital oicials said.

During the long delay, children who had been brought to the Ac-tivities Room to meet Obama occupied themselves by doing artwork and playing with iPads. Patients engaged in art therapy, in which they use art to express feelings.

Among those waiting for the irst lady was Tony Thomas, hos-pital board member and son of hospital founder Danny Thom-as, who introduced himself as “Marlo’s brother,” referring to ac-tress and St. Jude advocate Marlo Thomas.

When she finally arrived, Obama received a rousing ova-tion and introduction. Then she moved among the three tables around which the young patients sat. She listened as 7-year-old Devon Crymes said strawberries were among his favorite foods, while tablemate Tyler West, 8, an-nounced his preference for steak.

During the question-and-an-swer session with the patients, Obama ielded a query about how she met her famous husband. She answered that when she met him, he was “just Barack” and not the president. She added that she tried to talk him out of running for the nation’s highest oice.

“He didn’t listen,” she said.

Brady said. “We can’t be just good neighbors today. We have to be good neigh-bors tomorrow.”

The town’s Historic District Commission will take up the last piece of the approval process on Oct. 14 when it addresses such issues as a proposed addition to the rear of the Colonial Revival home built before the Civil War, fencing, landscaping and on-site parking.

The commission had planned to meet this month before Monday night’s mayor and alder-men meeting, but did not have a quorum.

The one-story home has such features as leaded and stained-glass win-dows, 12-foot ceilings, slid-ing pocket doors and seven ornate ireplaces.

One of the biggest prob-lems that the project faced

was parking. The Parrs hope to have 10 of-street spaces on the lot.

The town is allowing on-street parking on the north side of Natchez.

The Parrs also plan to use 105 public parking spaces within a ive-min-ute walk of the facility and rent another 15 park-ing spaces from a nearby business. Valet parking or a shuttle service will be used for bigger events with 200 people.

There will be no park-ing allowed on Mt. Pleas-ant or east of Mt. Pleasant on Natchez.

The couple plan to trans-form the former home of Hampton Parr’s grand-mother into a B&B with three rooms to rent by next summer, and special-events venue by fall 2015.

Parr’s great-great-great-grandfather, Dr. Asa Strat-ton, built the home in 1859. His wife, Mary Stratton, ran a one-room school house on the property.

‘Good to be able to highlight the great work that’s going on here’

to highlight details. After earning A’s in art

class, Landry began carv-ing after seeing an artist in action.

“I knew that’s what I wanted to do,” he said. “My dad bought me all my chain saws. I have been do-ing it ever since.”

The Landrys travel with their two rat terriers — Bear and Porter — for about ive months a year working festivals, fairs and special events.

“She’s the brains; I’m the brawn. She uses one side of the brain. I use the other. Together, we are a whole,” he said of his wife.

Landry normally works with the softer woods like pine or cedar. He charges $150 and up to $10,000, de-pending on the time and details.

Among the estimated 500 chain saw artists

working full time in the U.S., Landry has placed in several chain saw competi-tions and even in Japan at an international show.

As he works on an ea-gle from a piece of cedar, Landry wears his Kevlar chaps, goggles and ear mufs. He positions the stump so that the eagle’s beak is naturally tan from the red cedar base.

He alternates among one of nine chain saws. Soon red and tan specks of sawdust pepper his face, T-shirt and arms.

Sitting in his trailer, Landry said, “It is almost not like work. I look for-ward to getting up and doing it every day. I keep wanting to make the next one look better and the next one look better.”

Germantown City Ad-ministrator Patrick Law-ton said he would “seri-ously consider resigning” if George Brogdon is elect-ed the suburb’s mayor in November.

While change in admin-istrators is not particularly unusual when a new may-or takes oice, Lawton’s comment shed light on the friction that existed before Brogdon left in July.

In a Sept. 17 interview, Lawton noted Brogdon abruptly retired from the city to run for mayor. Brogdon, who served as community services divi-sion director overseeing

parks and recreation and public works, gave no indica-tion he was leaving.

“He puts his paper down and says: ‘This will make

you happy now,’” Lawton recalled.

Lawton said he previ-ously asked his staf for reports on upcoming re-tirements and other pos-sible staing changes.

“He did not indicate that this was anywhere in the realm of possibility,” Law-ton said.

After Brogdon left, he said, two department heads were tasked with inishing a business plan that was Brogdon’s respon-sibility.

Asked for comment Sept. 18, Brogdon declined an interview but texted a statement noting cam-paign signs in Lawton’s yard supporting Brogdon’s opponent, Alderman Mike Palazzolo.

“However, when elected Mayor, I will assemble the best team I can ...,” the text read.

He added he has “a great relationship with the em-ployees at the City and the vast majority are profes-sionals and care for this community.”

When Brogdon worked for the city, he reported

directly to Lawton.The city charter gives

the mayor the power to ire the city administrator — the elected professional who runs the city day-to-day — without approval from the suburb’s ive al-dermen.

“George’s running for oice sets up a whole new dynamic in the city,” Law-ton said, adding it would be “problematic” if Brogdon, who once held the title of assistant city administra-tor, were elected.

“If that happened, I would probably resign,” he said.

MAYORAL ELECTION

Lawton hints at

G’town frictionBy Mark JordanSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

The Germantown Community Theatre pro-duction of Stephen Sond-heim’s “Company,” will mean the curtain call for a centerpiece in the facil-ity’s space.

The musical, which con-tinues its run this week-end, is the last show on the theater’s old wooden stage.

After the show’s run, crews will tear out the stage and lower it to the building’s loor.

“Our set designers here on out can build platforms at whatever height they want,” GCT executive di-rector Dr. Michael Miles says of removing the old platform. “And as a part of [this process], we’re doing a fundraiser.”

The theater will repur-pose the stage’s discarded wood into mountable two- and four-hook clothes hangers sold for $30 and $50 to raise money. Order forms are inserted into playbills for “Company” or available by calling the theater during normal business hours.

According to Miles, the stage demolition is the irst in a series of renovations and technical improve-ments in the coming months. Also in the works are new signs, a remodeled lobby and rehearsal hall.

Those improvements will combine with behind-the-curtain technical up-grades to give German-town Community Theatre a new look and feel for the 2014-15 season, of which “Company” is the opening production.

The changes are evi-dent in director Teddy Eck’s ambitious staging of “Company.” First pro-

duced on Broadway in 1970 — it won six Tony Awards in 1971, includ-ing Best Musical. Taking the shape of a series of vignettes built around the 35th birthday of conirmed bachelor Bobby, the show was one of the irst to vary from a standard chrono-logical narrative and one of the irst to treat themes of adult relationships in a serious, if comedic in tone, manner.

“It has some adult mo-ments, nothing too pro-gressive, but we certainly wanted to put a disclaimer on all our advertisements. The language is not strong whatsoever, but there are adult themes. Bobby is a single man in New York City, and he’s experienc-ing that,” says Miles.

To depict the show’s fractured narrative, Eck deployed a series of mul-timedia devices, including projection screens and a television set that interact with actors.

“His vision is so inge-nious,” says Miles. “He’s pulled all this together to bring classic theater cre-ated in the 1970s into the modern age and bring some technology to it that helps tell the story.”

George Brogdon, the recently retired director of community ser-vices for the city of Germantown, is competing against German-town alderman and fellow mayoral candidate Mike Palazzolo.

Patrick Lawton


901-529-2372

Mike Palazzolo has the art of door-to-door campaigning down to a science, walking through Germantown neighbor-hoods since March search-ing for support.

George Brogdon, his opponent in the suburb’s mayoral race, is having to catch up in his campaign-ing. The former city em-ployee couldn’t kick of his eforts until he left city gov-ernment at the end of July.

The two are vying for the elected leader’s role in

Germantown — an oice Mayor Sharon Goldswor-thy has held since 1994. Goldsworthy announced in January she would not seek a sixth term.

The mayor’s race is one of ive on the Nov. 4 munic-ipal ballot. Germantown voters will also elect two aldermen and two school board members.

As with any suburban race, connection with vot-ers and name recognition are key.

From his months walk-ing the streets of Ger-mantown, Palazzolo knows within the irst few seconds of a person com-

ing to the door if he is welcome. And when no one is home?

“We tell the dog, ‘I need your vote on November

4th,’” he said recently as he dropped his mayoral cam-paign literature — com-plete with a handwritten “sorry I missed you” sticky note — on the front stoop.

Palazzolo, a three-term alderman running his irst campaign for mayor, has knocked on almost all of

the 13,500 doors in Ger-mantown. It’s a strategy he believes helped secure his last three victories, the last one with 75 percent of the vote.

Brogdon did not have the same advantage. Brogdon, who retired from the city at the end of July, was unable to campaign while an em-ployee of the city. Brogdon must play catch-up and use diferent campaign strate-gies to override Palazzo’s head start.

“I think that we are going to be able to catch up,” Brogdon said. “We’ve made great ground, and I’m very encouraged.”

IN THE CLASSROOM

By Steve O’DellSpecial to The Weekly

Hutchison girls are exploring the con-nection between pollination and food production with some very hands-on experiences. The Hutchison Farm, a two-acre working garden, orchard and apiary located on campus, provides girls with valuable resources to study the en-vironment and conservation.

At the start of this school year, sec-ond graders are discussing the symbiotic relationship between plants and bees. “We are fortunate enough to be able to observe irsthand the community of bees on campus (the “Bee Highway”),” said second grade teacher Katharine Kent. “Girls have the opportunity to appreciate nature in action. They plant seeds, watch them grow, observe the bees pollinat-ing and collecting pollen to make honey (they go from seed to honey).”

Recently, second and third grade girls opened one of the Hutchison hives to observe a working hive in full produc-tion. From removing frames illed with honey combs to honey extraction, girls discovered the bounty of this important aspect in nature. “The tireless work of the bees not only means that we are able to enjoy honey (their food), but also to enjoy countless fruits and lowers. Their declining population reminds us that we need to become more cognizant of how our actions may impact their survival, and in turn our own health,” said school horticulturist Meggan Meakin.

More than lowers and honey, these young ecologists are discovering other pathways to improve the earth and how they impact the lives of creatures both large and small. “I hope the girls gain a greater understanding and appreciation for bees and their intricate community within the hive. It is also important to

shed light on the fact that the health of the bees has a tremendous impact on the health of the animal/human com-munity,” she added.

To better understand the work of bees, second-graders will be drawing, writing, and understanding the unique character-istics and diferent jobs of bees. Incorpo-rated in this study of bees, second grade will embark on an interesting engineer-ing project. The girls will be building a hand pollinator to simulate the work of bees. From Early Childhood to Upper School, interdisciplinary units in all cur-ricula areas combine student-engaged learning with hands-on experiments in science to foster an early love of science.

Hutchison is an independent college-preparatory school for girls from prekin-dergarten through twelfth grade.

Radio personality Steve Conley (left) and Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner call for bids on season tickets to the Memphis Tigers games dur-ing the live auction. The auction raised $20,000 for Make-A-Wish.

Eloise Woods and Reggie Sanders look through silent auction items. This is first year for the event to feature online bidding for their silent auction.

Gaming and Racing with their pepper-crusted sirloin steak served with garlic mashed po-tatoes and veggies poured over with a brandy cream sauce and topped with tobacco onions.

“I enjoy the camaraderie of raising support for the cham-ber, as well as the yummy food and drink,” said Jaince Hamil.

Taste of the Town’s annual silent auction has a twist this year with all the bidding done online. Bidders were able to view the 136 items in person at the tasting and bid on the items through their mobile phones. Elizabeth Burnett described the online bidding with her phone to be very handy and convenient.

Items in the silent auction included handbags, television set, bicycle, clothes, jewelry and artwork. Proceeds from the silent auction go toward supporting the Germantown Chamber of Commerce.

Hosted by radio personali-

ties Steve Conley and Karen Perrin, the second auction of the night, the live auction, featured vacation packages, season tickets to the Memphis Tigers, private catered dinners and rare bottles of wine. With all the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish, this year’s Taste of the Town raised $20,000 for the organization. Data Facts was

the leading sponsor of the live auction.

“The live auction is always amazing to see all the support raised for Make-A-Wish and everyone coming together to support a good cause,” said Schuler Smith. “This event helps make business feel more a part of the city of German-town.”

Violinist Donna Wolf entertained the crowd at the 14th Taste of the Town hosted by the Germantown Chamber of Commerce.

The Dyer'sWayDid you know that the irst burgers were fried in skillets?The story of Dyers actually begins way back in the late 1800's when the"Dyer" family became well known for their delicious and uniquely lavoredmeals. Elmer Dyer,who later became known as "Doc" because of his family'ssecret ageless grease, heard of something called a hamburger. In 1912,he decided to use his family's secret and this hamburger cooked in Skilletsto open a cafe. In 1935, an original employee named Kahn Aaron bought thecafe and continued this method we still use today.This tradition of cookingburgers,which is strained, sauteed, and lavored daily, produces the juiciestburger anywhere in the world.

We hope you have enjoyed the Dyer's way as you have now become part ofit's unique history.

“I know you operate by seat of pants,” I said to Cy the Cyn-ic, “not by cold numbers. Don’t you know anything about per-centage play?”

“I know that I can estimate the cost of living by taking my income and adding 25 percent,” Cy growled. “And I don’t need a statistician to confirm it.”

I’ll never convince Cy that he needs a knowledge of cor-rectly handling combinations of cards. When he was today’s South, he opened 1NT with his aceless wonder. North may have feared missing a grand slam when he bid 6NT: Cy could have held K 5 2, K 5 3 2, K Q 2, K Q 2.

Cy won the first spade in his hand and led the king and a second diamond — and dark-ness descended when West showed out. The Cynic took dummy’s ace, but all he could do was cash his top tricks and concede down two.

“I make it when diamonds break 3-2 — 68 percent — and in several other cases,” Cy shrugged.

At least Cy knew the odds on an even diamond split. How would you play the slam?

Cy needs five diamond tricks and is safe with any 3-2 split. He can always succeed with a little care if East has a singleton honor or a singleton nine and is always doomed if West has a singleton honor or low singleton. Cy’s play mat-ters in one case: when West has the singleton nine. That is the lie of the cards Cy should cater to. Cy wins the first spade in dummy and leads the ten of diamonds, intend-ing to let it ride if East plays low. If instead East covers with an honor, Cy takes the king and returns a diamond, and if West follows, dummy covers his card to assure the slam.

Dear Harriette: One of my employees has formally complained about me at least twice in recent weeks. My hu-man resources director informed me. It’s odd, be-cause she has never said anything to me about her issues with me. I am a big believer in being direct in my communication with my team. Should I say something to her about this, even though she didn’t tell me?

— To The Point, Chicago

Dear To The Point: Go back to your human re-sources director and learn more about your employee’s concerns.

Find out what her complaints are so that you can assess what the issues are and how you might address them. Ask your H.R. director for any insights that may help you to navigate this challenge e�ectively. Also, find out if it is OK for you to go back to your employee to discuss this issue. Sometimes, people bring their concerns to H.R. and ask for them to

remain confidential. Be in alignment with your H.R. director before you go to this employee.

With consensus, go back to the employee in question, and ask her to share her concerns with you directly. Your goal here is to build a better rapport with her so that you two can work out your di�erences.

Let her know that you understand she is dis-satisfied with particular aspects of your leader-ship style. Talk it out if you can, and come up with a plan that allows the two of you to feel at ease moving forward.

Dear Annie: My brother, “Ned,” worked alongside my dad for many years. Now that Dad is getting up in years, Ned has taken over the business.

Ned has had a drinking problem for a long time. Ten years ago, he landed a lucrative contract for the business, and my parents were able to put money in the bank. Since then, however, his drinking has become worse, and he has been unable to get any contracts at all. His tem-per has become volatile, and he briefly went to jail. He eats my parents out of house and home and ruins our family get-togethers by arguing with everyone. He threatens to sell his house, move to Hawaii and end his life if anyone tries to confront him. He refuses treatment.

We are all worried about Ned, but mostly, we are concerned about my parents’ health. They don’t know how to handle Ned’s irrational behavior anymore and want to close the business before they lose everything. What do you suggest?

— Worried Sis

Dear Sis: If your par-ents still own the busi-ness, they ought to sell it, unless they can hire someone else to run it profitably. But if Ned is a part owner, your parents will need to consult an attorney. Ned’s drinking, his volatile temper and his threats are not within their control. He has to want help and may need to hit rock bottom to get there. In the meantime, your parents have to protect themselves. Start by contacting Al-Anon (al-anon-alateen.org).

Dear Annie: I have owned all kinds of pets and have always loved them dearly and consid-ered them “family.” I can understand signing their name on birthday cards, holiday cards, etc.

But I was surprised when I received a sympa-thy card with the signa-tures of the husband and wife along with the pet’s name and paw print. Do you think this is appropri-ate?

— Still Grieving

Dear Still: The dog’s paw print changes the tone of the card from sympathetic to “cute.” It is not appropriate, but some folks simply don’t consid-er how that type of card is going to be received by someone in mourning. We don’t believe they meant to treat your grief lightly. Please forgive them. Our condolences on your loss.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Cy the Cynic, a chauvinist, and Wen-dy, my club’s feminist, had a set-to over today’s deal. Cy, South, accused Wendy, North, of underbidding.

“You should bid four hearts,” Cy said. “You didn’t appreciate the vulnerability. We have more to gain by making game.”

“I know what vulnerability means,” Wendy growled. “To a woman it’s fully opening yourself to someone. To a man it means playing football without a helmet. Besides, I subtracted a point for your dummy play.”

NINE TRICKS The Cynic in fact took only nine tricks

at three hearts. He won the first club, cashed the ace of trumps and finessed with dummy’s jack. East won, and the defense cashed a club and two dia-monds.

Cy maintained that he would have made four hearts if Wendy had bid game. After winning the first club, Cy would cash the A-Q of spades and then the A-K of trumps.

He could take two high spades to pitch

clubs, losing a trump and two diamonds. I wasn’t sure whether I believed Cy.

Wendy certainly didn’t.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Speak your mind. You have a lot to share that needs to come out. Understanding comes only after others share their innate ambivalence. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Your focus on a money matter will point you in a new direction and toward a new possibility. You’ll be willing to do what-ever it takes to be comfortable with your situation. Tonight: Not to be found.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Whatever secret yet reasonable desire you have could be carried out suc-cessfully, as your creativity seems to be at its peak. Why not go for what you want? Tonight: The world is your oyster!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ Relate to a loved one directly. You will get better results than you could have anticipated. Think in terms of change. To-night: Visit with a loved one over dinner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)★★★★ Just as you are about to accomplish a desired objective, you suddenly could shift gears. You have changed since you made that decision. Tonight: You could get an ear-ful.

Horoscope

This year you will have to learn to be more flexible. As a result, you will see how well your year will work out. You have enormous creativity that you have yet to express to its fullest capacity. You will start to be more inventive, especially if you give up a certain amount of rigidity. If you are single, you could discover that you are attracted to different types of people from now until the end of the year. Hold back on making any commitments. If you are attached, you will benefit by spending more one-on-one time together. LIBRA sometimes finds you to be threat-ening.

Puzzle solutions


Horoscopes


ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Someone could com-pare you to lightning: nearly im-possible to stop, with lashes of great ideas. A partner or friend could have a problem dealing with your energy. Be gracious about any negative comments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Others often expect a lot from you, whether or not you are willing to give it. Your caring could move a personal matter past a problem and help the other party realize that the situation might not be as bad as he or she believes it to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your imagination could go to extremes as you attempt to infuse a situation with a little more fun and creativity. Under-stand what is happening with a child or loved one. This person really thrives with your atten-tion, support and caring.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Staying close to home might not be as pleasant as you would like. It is likely that some-one you need to respond to will demand your feedback, if not

your presence. Curb a tendency to go overboard with spending.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your personality will come out in a presentation or when having a discussion with a loved one. You will be more open to unexpected solutions than to traditional ones. Make sure to return all calls.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Sometimes you under-estimate how much you have to ofer. You could feel as if no one is listening to you. Just because you do not receive the rousing response you desire, it does not mean that you were not heard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Avoid being scattered at all costs. You might need to place limits on a situation that could irk you or cause you a problem. Your friends will be a major distraction, but one that you will appreciate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be inor-dinately tired, as all the happen-ings around you could drain you far more than you realize. Try not to overreact. In fact, pull back if you suspect you are with-ered! Go for a walk, and handle important matters later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to use some of your high energy to help a child or loved one who could be of-kilter. You seem to ind solutions where others cannot. Be direct in how you deal with a loved one. Spon-taneity is the only path.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of your limits when dealing with a boss, friend or older relative. You could be taken aback by this person’s requests. Some-one close, perhaps a family member, will chime right in and make a situation better than it has been.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Take an overview, and understand where others are coming from. Otherwise, what you see happening will make little sense. You might just decide to cut of a conversation with a diicult person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You will get a better sense of where someone else is coming from. You could discover that a loved one simply might be reacting to you. Laughter will energize and allow more fun. Count your change carefully.

Dear Miss Manners: I have been friends with a couple for almost 20 years now, and I count them among my closest of peers. They have a 2-year-old child who is an absolute doll, hilarious and cute all the time.

Time has become some-what of a rarity for us over the past years, and we attempt to have a semi-monthly get-together for a few hours, where we eat, chat and hang out. But now they have begun pot-ty training their son, and while I am over, they will allow him to run around the house wearing only a shirt, and encourage him to bring his potty into the living room with us, and pee or poo when necessary.

I brought up my discom-fort with this with them once, but I was firmly re-

buked and told that was how it was going to be un-til his potty training con-cluded.

Am I wrong for feeling uncomfortable in this situ-ation?

Gentle Reader: No, but it is not for you to express this discomfort. Miss Manners need hardly point out that when you shared it the first time, it was not received well and didn’t solve the problem.

There are disadvantag-es to being treated as an intimate member of the family. But the good news is that surely this is a tem-porary situation. .

Dear Miss Manners: My partner of 20 years and I have been together so long that getting married, now that it is legal in our state, almost feels like a re-newal of vows. As such, we have opted for a small cel-ebration and are avoiding many of the traditional el-ements that feel either age-

inappropriate or wrong at this stage of our life:

Because when we met, being gay and getting mar-ried was inconceivable, we find ourselves unsure about etiquette.

Must we have a wedding registry? We need nothing, and our wants are specific and expensive.

Gentle Reader: Con-gratulations — not only on your coming marriage, but on your wish to ap-ply taste and sense to that spectacle of self-aggran-dizement and extortion that has become the typi-cal American wedding. Miss Manners finds it sad that wedding greed has be-come so institutionalized that you question whether it is proper not to tell peo-ple to buy you things. Be assured that you have no responsibility for ordering presents from your guests.

By Dr. Rolando Toyos, MDIn My Own Words

Lasik, put simply, is the use of lasers to change the shape of the cornea to at-tain freedom from glasses and contacts. It’s a well-known procedure. #Lasik tweets dominate the social media world.

But when Dr. Kerry As-sil did my Lasik procedure 14 years ago, the technol-ogy was very different from what we have today. Back then, the primary incision to perform the procedure was completed with a blade, and the laser that changed the shape of the cornea was in its in-fancy. We have seen major advancements in technol-ogy and techniques since that time.

By 2007, most surgeons had abandoned the blade and incorporated a laser to complete the primary incision. Studies have shown that laser incisions are more precise and safer than a blade. The lasers used to reshape the cor-nea also improved. We had procedures during that time such as CustomCor-nea, 3D Lasik, and iLasik. What is interesting is at that time the irst iPhone from Apple, which of-fered 2G capabilities, was introduced. Now, in 2014, we have the iPhone 5 and Google Glass. What do we have in 2014 for Lasik?

Toyos Clinic introduced the Wavelight Refractive Suite to Tennessee in 2014

becoming the first and only practice in the state with this advanced tech-nology. The Wavelight uses the FS200 laser to perform the primary inci-sion, which incorporates safety features to ensure that flaps are correctly performed each time with less pressure on the eye and more comfort. The EX500 laser is used to reshape the cornea and has the widest range of treatment approved by the FDA. It also has eye-tracking technology that is 10 times faster than any other laser, ensuring that the patient’s eye move-ments during treatment do not afect outcomes. The EX500 also has perfect

pulse technology to deliver accurate energy each time to the cornea. Finally, the Wavelight Refractive Suite is interconnected with a master computer allow-ing the whole system to communicate, decreasing human error and ensuring proper treatment.

Precision technology without proper screening and evaluation can afect results. At Toyos Clinic, each potential Lasik pa-tient goes through vigor-ous evaluation for corneal health and dry eye. If pa-tients have dry eye, we have the ability to treat with technology that I have developed and that is used by several prestigious aca-demic institutions such as

the Mayo Clinic, Stanford, Duke and Johns Hopkins to name a few. The Toyos Dry Eye Treatment won an award from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and is only available in Tennes-see at our clinic. We also utilize many technologies including the Pentacam, the gold standard for cor-neal topography, to assess if a patient’s cornea can safely undergo Lasik.

We have the new Wave-light lasers and a new fa-cility to showcase the pro-cedure. We moved into a newer and larger building at 1365 South Germantown Road, across the street from Campbell Clinic. This renovated structure has a state of the art Lasik Suite that controls tem-perature, airlow, humidity and is designed with new materials to increase steril-ity. I invite you to come see our new laser and facility, schedule a free Lasik con-sultation and enjoy some cofee in our Starbucks café. It is an exciting time and I am in awe how far we have come since I started performing Lasik in 1996.

Part of developing a vibrant community is en-suring that citizens feel accepted and valued for who they are, including their unique beliefs, per-sonalities, skill sets, and aspirations. The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid-South is championing these exact tenets for an embracive society while focusing on those who were born with something extra: an extra DNA chro-mosome 21.

The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid-South is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering individu-als with Down syndrome and their families. Down syndrome is a genetic con-dition that occurs when there are three, rather than the usual two, copies of chromosome 21 in every cell of the body. So, instead of 46 chromosomes, a per-son with Down syndrome has 47. Individuals with Down syndrome experi-ence cognitive delays, but the efect is usually mild to moderate and deinitely not indicative of the many strengths and talents that each possess.

There are approximate-ly 1,800 individuals in the Mid-South living with Down syndrome. The As-sociation wants to make sure these individuals are included and embraced within their schools and workplaces, their fami-lies, and our community, at large. This process of inclusion begins as we all become more educated

about Down syndrome and, more importantly, what blessings those with Down syndrome have to ofer.

Many of the Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid-

South pro-grams are f o c u s e d on educat-ing, train-ing, and s u p p o r t -ing those who are involved in the lives of people who

have Down syndrome. They provide resources to parents of newborn ba-bies with Down syndrome, workshops for families, programs for adults that promote independence, and special networking events. They focus on community outreach and awareness through news-letters, a Facebook page, working with area schools, providing educational seminars, and organizing fundraising events.

The organization is hosting its 17th annual STEP UP Walk on Oct. 19 at the Memphis Botanic Garden. The afternoon event is a family-friendly celebration with a one-mile fun walk, activities, prizes, and live entertain-ment with Chris Burke! It is an easy way to give back, learn more, and meet hun-dreds of people who are More Alike Than Difer-ent! For more information visit dsamemphis.org.

FedEx Corp. is ramp-ing up for another holi-day peak shipping season and doubling down on seasonal employees to make sure packages get delivered on time.

The Memphis-based delivery giant said last Wednesday it expects to add 50,000 seasonal work-ers nationwide this fall and convert a majority of them into permanent employees.

Last peak season, when the company moved 22 million packages on Cyber Monday, Dec. 2., the compa-

ny added about 40,000 ex-tra helpers at its operations throughout the nation.

FedEx officials dis-cussed peak-season prepa-rations during an earnings call in which the company reported higher than ex-pected earnings for the June-August quarter.

“We’re expecting an-other record peak season in terms of delivery vol-ume,” said Mike Glenn, executive vice president of market development and corporate communi-cations.

“Peak season will again be compressed this year with Cyber Monday fall-ing on Dec. 1. We’ve been

in active dialogue with our retail and e-tail custom-ers all year to understand their peak shipping needs and plan our operations accordingly.”

FedEx revealed part of its game plan a day after rival United Parcel Service said it would hire up to 95,000 seasonal workers, up 10,000 from last year, when UPS had problems keeping up with package volumes and took a beat-ing from irate customers.

Company oicials antic-ipate adding about 150 em-ployees in the Mississippi Valley region that includes Memphis, FedEx spokes-man Scott Fiedler said.

Five Germantown churches representing ive diferent denomina-tions joined together Sept 1 for a Labor Day “Labor of Love.” Each labor of love was ailiated with MIFA and included various ser-vice projects for sharing with the larger Memphis community.

The day began with a brief relection and prayer service at St. George’s Episcopal at 8 a.m. “This service was a really im-portant part of the day to help us understand what we were doing and why,” said the Rev. Doro-thy Sanders Wells, rector at St. George’s Episcopal Church. Wells was the lead pastor in bringing about “Labor of Love.”

Members and volun-teers from the ive church-es were spread all over the community that day. Three yards were cleaned in the 38111 ZIP code while many meals were deliv-ered in the 38109 ZIP code. Twelve teams delivered more than 100 shelf-stable meals to senior citizens. Three diferent groups de-livered 30, 22-pound boxes of food to other seniors who could prepare meals

for themselves.Church members do-

nated all of the emergency items for MIFA’s three dif-ferent types of emergency bags and they also illed the bags. New Bethel was the packing place where members from diferent churches gathered to ill bags for persons displaced from their home, bags full of baby items, and person-al care bags. After these emergency bags were illed MIFA picked them up at New Bethel so they will be available for people who come into their emer-gency services area.

Jay Howell associate pas-tor at Germantown Pres-byterian said, “I thought it was a wonderful time for churches to work together

in service. Often there are too many churches point-ing at each other’s difer-ences instead of looking at the many things that should be bringing us together. Service is one of those. I was thrilled that Dorothy (Wells) across the street at St. George’s Episcopal took the ball and started it roll-ing. I thought it was a great irst step for these churches to work together.”

The ive churches all within 1 mile of one an-other include St. George’s Episcopal, Germantown Presbyterian, German-town United Methodist, New Bethel Baptist and Kingsway Christian. “The pastors from these five churches have been meet-ing together at least once a

month since I moved here last November to talk about shared opportuni-ties,” said Wells.

The churches used an electronic sign-up known as “sign up genius”. Wells said all of the 164 volunteer slots were illed. “We had enough people to do every-thing,” said Wells. “I think the people enjoyed the fel-lowship as well as the proj-ects. There was satisfaction in knowing they had gone out into the community and done something good for other people.”

“This was such a won-derful day, and I was so proud to be a part of it,” said St. George’s member Nancy Ligon. “I looked around me and observed that ‘It was good!’ ”

Five area churches join ‘Labor of Love’Members from five German-town Churches recently par-ticipated in the “Labor of Love” program. Help-ing clean yards are Luke Bet-tendorf, Mike Adams, Martino Stuckey, Fred Isom, Josh Isom and Will Bet-tendorf.

Philanthropy



The Exchange Club Family Center, an area nonproit agency dedicat-ed to ending the cycle of child abuse and domestic violence, received $44,850 from the Germantown Charity Horse Show.

Held in Germantown, the annual event has sup-ported the center for 16 years and has raised ap-proximately $450,000 for the Center’s programs and services. This year, the Germantown Char-ity Horse Show made a $22,500 donation to the Center, which was in ad-dition to the $22,350 the Center’s staf and volun-teers raised through pro-gram ad sales during the horse show.

“We are continuously amazed by the generos-ity of the Germantown Charity Horse Show,” said Barbara King, execu-tive director for the Cen-ter. “The support they’ve

given us through the years has helped provide coun-seling and other services for children who have been abused or forced to witness violence in their homes. We are extremely grateful for this partner-ship and the impact it has on the children in our community.”

The Germantown Char-ity Horse Show is a unique and upscale equestrian competitive event held annually in June, drawing thousands of participants and spectators from all over the region. The ive-day show features several horse varieties, including Tennessee walking hors-es, harness ponies, saddle horses, gaited horses and hunter jumpers.

As the oicial charity for the show, the Exchange Club Family Center pro-duces the printed pro-gram, which the Center’s volunteers sell throughout the event. Proceeds from the sale of the program, as

well as money collected from poster sales and the silent auction art sale, are then donated to the Center.

“The Germantown Charity Horse Show believes in strong com-munity support by pro-viding a family-friendly environment,” said Jimmy Chancellor, president of the Germantown Char-ity Horse Show. “The Exchange Club Family Center plays a vital role in our community by help-ing children and parents during times of crisis and great need. We truly ap-preciate their eforts. It’s a privilege that our or-ganizations work so well together and have helped each other grow. We ask that the community con-tinue supporting this wor-thy cause by attending the upcoming Germantown Charity Horse Show in 2015, set for June 2-6.”

Houston running back Colby Cartwright wanted to spread the love four ways after the Mustangs’ 46-21 district victory over Germantown last Friday at Houston High School.

“Me being a senior, I definitely love running with my senior boys. It’s an honor and a blessing to play with the guys I have grown up with,” said Cart-wright, who took away a memory-making game.

“I loved my senior game with Germantown. It’s awesome to beat them by 20 points or more. It was fun. It is something that I will remember forever.

“I love running with my little brother (Seth Cart-wright). I can’t explain what it’s like. It is a broth-erhood within a brother-hood on a team. It means something more.”

Colby Cartwright also loves his ofensive line of Clark Anderson, Sam Mea-gher, Matthew Taylor, Tim Belles, Mason Piper and Benny Carroll.

“I wouldn’t be anywhere without my ofensive line. The line is everything. I am nothing. Coach (Eric) Crigler (offensive line coach) calls the right plays at the right times and it deinitely worked out to-night,” he said.

A workhorse, Cart-wright ran for 145 yards and scored an 11-yard third quarter touchdown and Seth Cartwright, a sophomore, rushed for

76 yards and scored two touchdowns as the Mus-tangs improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in District 15-AAA.

The Cartwright broth-ers were not alone. Hous-ton running back Chase Moss-Pioreck gained 155 of Houston’s 472 rushing yards, including a 77-yard run in the third quarter that set up a 10-yard touch-down by senior quarter-back Jared Schmidt and a 40-7 Mustang lead.

Houston’s defense did not allow Germantown (0-5, 0-2) a irst down until the third quarter.

“Defensively, we just played great,” said Hous-ton coach Will Hudgens.

Hudgens credited Reid Ostrom, Aryton Scafer and Zach Childress for solid play.

“The secondary did a great job. We talk all the time about doing your job and trust the guy next to you to do his. It was an all-around great efort.”

Turning points: Schmidt’s 32-yard touchdown run in the irst quarter and Jacob Painter’s PAT put Houston

ahead 7-0. On the next pos-session, Red Devils quar-terback Jacob Ivy, who inished with 122 passing yards, threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Drew White, a senior split end who is a cousin of German-town coach Charlie White.

“They answered our touchdown at the begin-ning and we knew that this was not going to be a pushover,” said Schmidt, who capped a 68-yard yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run that gave the Mustangs a lead they would never lose.

After Germantown’s touchdown, “we corrected a little communication is-sue and they came out and played. I loved the inten-sity they played with,” said Hudgens.

After Schmidt’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Moss-Pioreck for a 20-7 halftime lead, the Mustangs opened the third quarter with an onside kick.

Donavan Wallace recov-ered at the Devils’ 39-yard line. Colby Cartwright scored six plays later, giv-ing Houston a 27-7 lead.

“We could handle being two scores down but that onside kick they recovered took the wind out of our sails,” said Charlie White.

Then three straight touchdowns, two by Seth Cartwright, a 12-yard run and a 13-yarder that was his seventh touchdown of the season, and the 10-yard run by Schmidt, his third of the game, expanded Houston’s lead to 46-7.

Seth Cartwright’s run-ning style difers than his brother’s said Colby Cart-wright. “I am a kind of run-up-the-middle-and-hit

people. He kind of shakes and bakes.”

Said Seth Cartwright, “It feels great getting into the end zone, and oh, it is even better with my broth-er. Brotherly love, there is nothing better. I look up to him.”

Germantown got into the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. Rodney Williams scored on a 29-yard pass from Ivy and Evan Hoover ran 68 yards for a touchdown with 1:09 left.

Star turns: Playing on an injured ankle, Foreman had an exceptional kicking

game — three extra points and on-the-money punting for Germantown, and was praised by White.

Hoover, cornerback Marckiese Thomas and split end/defender Ken Wilson each had signii-cant games said White.

One of the goals for Schmidt, who rushed for 94 yards and passed for 63, is to set the Houston record for passing yards he said. He has been quar-terback for 17 games.

“He is the ultimate com-petitor,” said Hudgens. “He is a warrior.” Schmidt somersaulted over an alu-

minum bench after being pushed out of bounds. He then led the Mustangs to their third touchdown.

Talking points: Ger-mantown’s 0-5 start is the worst in 12 years that White has been head coach and in his 33-year coaching career he said. The Red Devils must work on “blocking on ofense” and the defense “must make stops,” said White. “They kept ighting. The worst part of any battle is when you give up. That is when you do not have a chance.” Houston started 6-0 last season.

Here’s a scary thought for the rest of the teams on Trezevant’s football sched-ule.

The Bears have yet to play their best.

Trezevant, ranked fifth in The Commercial Appeal’s Dandy Dozen, improved to 4-1 with a rock-solid 42-6 victory last Friday over host Southwind.

“We’ve yet to play a com-plete game mentally,” said Bears coach Teli White. “We still need to play better.”

Star turns: Trezevant se-nior running back Jamal Jones showed why he’s ranked as one of the top prospects in the area.

After the Bears recov-ered a fumble on the South-wind 3-yard line, the 5-9, 205-pounder punched it in on the next play to give his team a 14-0 lead late in the

first quarter.Early in the second quar-

ter, he went 48 yards for another touchdown after Trezevant forced Southwind to turn it over on downs. He added a 4-yard scoring run just before halftime that gave the Bears a 28-0 lead at the break.

For good measure, he add-ed a second-quarter intercep-tion.

“When you get that three-headed monster (Jones, quar-terback Jordan Spencer and running back George Mon-son) all playing well together, that’s big,” White said.

“We’ll be a 10-time better team if we just play together. That’s the kind of mentality we have to have.”

Talking point: As usual for the Bears, their under-sized defense played well. Trezevant entered the game leading the area in total de-fense, allowing just 45 yards per contest.

“It’s about character,”

White said. “When you’re not the biggest, it comes down to character.”

Trezevant forced four turn-overs, three of which set up touchdowns.

Extra points: Torrey Mabo-ne made the defensive play of the game, batting the ball out of Southwind QB Kameron Williams’ hand and making the recovery himself on the Jaguars 22 to set up Jones’ third score. ... Trezevant of-fensive lineman Lavonte Jones left the stadium in an ambulance with his arm in a splint after being injured on

the first series of the game. Later, the Bears’ Gabriel Scott left with bruised ribs. ... Southwind (2-3) avoided the shutout when Williams hit Clyde Tyson with a 66-yard pass in the third. The play ended a streak of 10 consecu-tive quarters in which the Bears hadn’t allowed a point.

What’s next: Trezevant returns to District 16-AA ac-tion Friday, taking on Doug-lass at Fairgrounds Stadium. Southwind will be this week before returning to 15-AAA play at undefeated Houston on Oct. 3.

Justin Fuente sounds as if not even Ole Miss’ No. 10 national ranking does the Rebels justice.

Fuente, the University of Memphis football coach, spoke at Monday’s weekly media luncheon on the U of M campus and extolled the virtues of an Ole Miss team seeking its irst 4-0 start since 1970.

“We have an incred-ible challenge this week,” Fuente said. “They are an incredibly talented foot-ball team on both sides of the ball. They’ve got play-makers up and down their roster.”

Memphis, at 2-1, is of to its best start in 10 years when it opened the season with a victory at Ole Miss and inished 8-4. The Ti-gers and Rebels are meet-ing for the irst time since 2009.

The Rebels have Fuente and his staf’s attention af-

ter opening with lopsided wins over Boise State, Vanderbilt and Louisi-ana Lafayette. Ole Miss has outscored its last two opponents 97-18. Fuente said from his evaluation of the Rebels, their No. 1 defensive unit has given up fewer than 10 points in three games.

“Defensively, they are an incredibly aggressive group that has a great mix of older and younger kids,” Fuente said. “They are playing at a really high level right now. You can see the diference between them from last year to this year. It’s a visible difer-ence.”

Tiger starting strong-side linebacker Wynton McManis, who had a career-high eight tackles against Middle Tennes-see on Saturday, said the game against the Rebels will have the Tigers “on another big stage” follow-ing the U of M’s game at 11th-ranked UCLA three weeks ago.

“We will have to limit our mistakes,” he said.

The Ole Miss defense leads the nation with eight interceptions. Cornerback Senquez Golson leads the Southeastern Conference with three picks, one he returned for a touchdown.

Ofensively, Fuente said the Rebels are “fast-paced with great skill kids and a quarterback (Bo Wallace) who has done a great job distributing the ball.”

Wallace leads the na-tion in completion per-centage (75.5) and ranks fifth in pass efficiency (190.0). He passed for 316 yards and four touch-downs in the Rebels’ 56-

15 win over Louisiana Lafayette two weeks ago. Ole Miss did not play last weekend.

“We’ll need a great week of preparation — mentally, physically and emotional-ly — in order to go down there and give it a shot,” Fuente said.

Or, in other words, a performance along the lines of their efort last weekend against Middle Tennessee before 46,000 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The Tigers over-powered Middle Tennes-see, 36-17, to snap a three-game losing streak to the Blue Raiders. The Tigers amassed at least 480 yards for the third straight game and had two running backs — Doroland Dorceus and Brandon Hayes — rush for at least 90 yards. De-fensively, they held MTSU nearly 200 yards below its average.

“After looking at the film and meeting with the (players) I’m awfully proud of a lot of things we

did on the ield,” Fuente said. “I’m proud of the discipline we showed. I’m proud of the way we exe-cuted at times. And it was good to come out on top. I felt pretty good about our performance in all three phases of the game.”

Notes: Tiger linebacker Tank Jakes was named the

American Athletic Con-ference Defensive Player of the Week for his per-formance against MTSU. Jakes, a senior inside line-backer from Phenix City, Ala., had three tackles for loss, two sacks, a safety, an interception and forced a fumble that led to a 59-yard touchdown return.

MEMPHIS VS. OLE MISS

Tigers preparing for ‘incredibly talented’ Rebel squad

Let’s just put it right out there, shall we? For the state of Mis-sissippi’s Southeastern Con-ference football teams, these

are the absolute best of times.With Memphis headed to the state

for a game Saturday much more in-triguing than it looked in preseason, it’s worth stopping to consider the many ways in which, for Ole Miss and Mississippi State, college football has never been better or more compelling.

■ With Mississippi State crashing into the rankings at No. 14 coming of Saturday’s impressive win at LSU and Ole Miss now ranked No. 10 (coming of a bye week), it’s the highest the Bulldogs and Rebels have been ranked at the same time by The Associated Press during the modern era (deined as postsegregation), according to the listings compiled by the website sports-reference.com.

It is in fact rare for both teams to be ranked together at all in the AP poll — in the modern era, it’s only happened in two seasons, 1992 and 1999.

■On Saturday, Ole Miss hosts a re-juvenated Memphis program — the Ti-gers have scored 144 points in their three games and gotten two touchdowns on defense. It’ll be the irst time regional rivals have played a game in Oxford with Ole Miss ranked since before integra-tion (the Rebels were the preseason No. 1 in 1964).

■ The following Saturday, on Oct. 4, sees Ole Miss hosting No. 3 Alabama in Oxford while MSU, after taking a week of, will host No. 6 Texas A&M in Starkville. And then on Oct. 11, MSU gets No. 5 Auburn while Ole Miss goes to Texas A&M.

CATASTROPHIC SUCCESSThe term former secretary of de-

fense Donald Rumsfeld once famously coined — “catastrophic success” — came to mind last Saturday during the irst quarter of the University of Mem-phis’ impressive dismantling of what is expected to be a good Conference USA team, Middle Tennessee State. I was among those stuck in the long lines at the scant few ticket windows at the Liberty Bowl just before kickof.

My son and a friend decided the day of the game they wanted to go, and we didn’t get to the ticket windows until about 5:50 p.m., 10 minutes before kick-of. Many people got there about the same time, some of whom had been tailgating and, like us, had assumed there would be the usual numbers of the “got a ticket? need a ticket?” street brokers ofering tickets.

But in our walk from Tobey Field to the east entrance, I saw exactly one broker asking “need a ticket?” and at least a dozen asking, “got a ticket?”

In all, we were in line for about an hour before getting into the stadium — a few minutes had already elapsed in the second quarter. And then the lines at most concession stands were snarled, and the oicial announced at-tendance of 46,378 was about 13,000 shy of a sellout.

As more than a few people on Twit-ter pointed out, it would have been wise to have just bought print-at-home tickets. Even the U of M’s Twitter feed ofered me and the many hundreds of others in line that piece of, at the time, unusable advice (I tried to use my phone to buy tickets but the data

stream was clogged by crowds and there was no Wi-Fi on ofer).

Like many in the various lines, it seemed to me a mostly amusing, even welcome turn of events — this Tiger football team, coming of the ultra-competent opener over Austin Peay and close loss at UCLA, had created more demand than the U of M or the city (which runs the Liberty Bowl) could keep up with.

U of M deputy athletic director Wren Baker said the U of M accepts responsibility for the gameday ticket debacle — he said they may add kiosks for future games.

As for Liberty Bowl concessions, that breakdown falls on the city and those who contract to sell the food and drink.

The good news is the U of M and the city have plenty of time to get things right by the next home game, Oct. 10 vs. Houston. The bad news — back-to-back road games at Ole Miss and Cincinnati could hurt the momentum Memphis built in the irst three games.

HOGS, VOLS ALSO INTRIGUEThe Northern Illinois team Arkan-

sas blitzkrieged, 52-14, was no slouch — the Huskies went undefeated last season.

Still, it remains possible the Hogs are running up gaudy stats (Alex Col-lins and Jonathan Williams averaging more than 8 yards per carry) by catch-ing outmanned nonconference oppo-nents in down years. We’ll certainly

have a clearer picture after Saturday, when ground-and-pound Arkansas confronts Texas A&M’s air attack, led by Kenny Hill, at the Cowboys AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Tennessee appeared to enjoy a hugely positive of week, with that 34-10 loss at Oklahoma embraced by coach Butch Jones and the fan base as an example of how much this team will ight. Jones even talked about one day looking back at that game as an important moment in the program’s development.

Even more important, though, comes this week vs. Georgia — a team the Vols nearly defeated last season, although the Bulldogs’ star running back Todd Gurley did not play in that game.

Once Byron Harris gets started, it’s hard to stop listing the current high school football standouts who have come through his program at Bellevue Middle School.

“Deddrick Thomas from Central, Johnathan John-son from Melrose,” he said. “Kerrick Jones and Donte Vaughn from Whitehaven. Eddie Lee from Central. DeVante Turner and Jesse Brookins from East.

“There have been a lot of players.”

If you’re keeping score, that list of Bellevue alum-ni includes a Mississippi State commitment (Thom-as), the city’s leading wide receiver (Johnson), two of the top players on the fourth-ranked 6A team in the state (Jones and Vaughn) and one of the ar-ea’s leading running backs and touchdown scorers (Turner).

It’s a distinguished list and one that Harris is rightfully proud of. And the pipeline doesn’t look like it will be drying up any time soon.

The Bobcats improved to 6-0 with a 12-7 vic-tory over Hickory Ridge Middle on Sept. 17. It’s that kind of success that has helped Harris and his staf develop such success-ful players.

“We’ve had a winning program here and kids want to be a part of that,” said Harris, in his sixth sea-son at Bellevue after spend-ing 10 at John P. Freeman.

“We still struggle, though. A lot of times

we’ll walk over to Cen-tral (Crump Stadium) to practice and we’ll have to share the ield with their band or their soccer team. And our ield’s full of dirt and rocks. ...

“But we’ve just got kids that want to play football. And our principal, Kevin Malone, is a sports guy. It’s important to him and the support we get from the administration has really helped us be successful.”

Said lineman Omari Thompson, “We’ve got a good coaching staf and they push us hard, not just in the ield but in the class-room.”

Thompson, a 5-11, 230-pound seventh-grad-er, is one of the Bobcats to keep an eye on, along with classmates Darian Turner, a wide receiver-cornerback and quarter-back Keyshawn Harris, the coach’s son.

But the biggest name is defensive end Trevis Hopper. An eighth-grader who won’t turn 14 until next month, Hopper is al-ready 6-2 and 230 pounds. And if you haven’t heard his name, rest assured the high school coaches in the area have.

“We’ve had a couple of private schools already come here to look at him,” said Harris.

A Whitehaven graduate, Harris said he hears the talk around town, that he funnels his best players to his alma mater. But he in-sists he just wants the best for promising players like Hopper.

“It does bother me,” Harris said. “That’s the word, that I push my kids to Whitehaven. But we

have kids at Westwood, Central, East, Ridgeway ...

“I just push them to go to an environment that’s best for them, athletically and academically.”

KENLEY TO ARKANSASThe 2017 college base-

ball season is a long way away. But Houston High standout Jack Kenley has no doubt about where he’ll be.

“Arkansas,” he said. “No question.”

Kenley, the Mustangs’ talented junior inielder, verbally committed to the Razorbacks recently. Samford, where Houston teammates Jack Rude and Jake Greer are headed, and Belmont were also in the mix, but the chance to play in the SEC was too good to pass up.

“It’s a little daunting,” he said of competing in the SEC. “But it’s also the biggest motivator. (Head) coach (Dave) Van Horn and (assistant coach Tony) Vitello are both very solid guys, high character guys. They plan on working in the freshmen as early as possible.

“And (Fayetteville) is just a gorgeous area.”

The 6-0, 165-pound Kenley said he’ll likely focus on shortstop at the next level. He’s played everywhere in the inield except irst for Houston and was a key contribu-tor on last year’s team that advanced to the AAA state championship game before losing to Farragut to inish 34-10.

Bellevue Middle School produces big-time talent

Last week was a pretty memorable one for Mar-quette Murdock.

Last Friday, the standout senior tight end helped Ridgeway defeat defend-ing 5A state champion Henry County, 22-15, to improve to 3-0. And now he’s decided where he’ll play his college football.

Murdock confirmed to The Commercial Ap-peal last Tuesday that he has committed to play at Southeast Missouri. Verbal commitments are nonbinding but Murdock is expected to make it of-icial on National Signing Day in early February.

“I just wanted to lock up my education,” said Mur-dock. “When the head coach (Tom Matukewicz) keeps calling you, letting you know that he needs you ... it shows that he truly cares.”

Murdock is the fourth member of Ridgeway’s talented senior class to commit, joining running back Earl Harrison and defensive tackle Elontae Bateman (both Arkansas State) and wide receiver Katavious Taylor. He’ll also join a growing Mem-phis contingent at SEMO; former Briarcrest star Hunter Bledsoe is starting

at lineback-er as a true f re s h m a n and Mur-dock says he’s look-ing forward to teaming with former H o u s t o n tight end

Gavin McCrary.“I think we can be un-

stoppable,” he said.At 6-2 and 225, with good

speed and great hands, Murdock could be consid-ered a steal for a school like SEMO. But the player said loyalty goes a long way and that he doesn’t think he’ll be swayed if larger pro-grams come in to the pic-ture later.

“My things is, why would you want me now when you didn’t want me before,” he said. “A wise man told me to go to a place where you’ll be wanted, not a place where they sign you just to ill up the numbers.”

CBHS BASEBALL STAR CHANGES MIND

Christian Brothers pitcher James Muse should have been thrilled when he verbally committed to the University of Tennessee over the summer. Instead, he was illed with doubt.

“I feel like I rushed my commitment,” he said. “I didn’t feel good about it. And I thought the feel-

ing would get better but it never did.”

Muse feels better now; after de-committing from the Vols the 6-3, 210-pound right-hander said he’ll sign with the University of Memphis.

“Nothing against (UT) coach (Dave) Serrano,” he said. “I just felt more comfortable with coach Rock (Tiger head coach Daron Schoenrock), coach (Clay) Greene and (pitch-ing coach Russ) McNickle.

“I prayed about the de-cision and when I called coach Rock he welcomed me with open arms. It felt like a 1,000-pound weight had been lifted off my chest.”

Muse joins a talented lo-cal class of 2015 that has al-ready committed to the Ti-gers, one that also includes Colton Neel of MUS, Col-lierville’s Alex Hicks and his CBHS teammate, Colin Kilgore.

By Bill SorrellSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. — During the glory days of Haywood County High School football when the Tomcats were win-ning 83 percent of their games under coach John Hooper, op-ponents often got of track, es-pecially in Brownsville where the stadium is situated by a railroad.

After a 62-0 loss to Hay-wood in 1957, Milan coach Will Medling said, “When we kicked of to Brownsville, I heard the whistle on the train coming down the tracks. By the time the caboose came through we were trailing 42-0.”

Stories are the “lavor” of the 472-page, 5-pound book “100 Years of Haywood Tomcat Football,” written by Brownsville dentist Robert Rooks, a 1969 Haywood gradu-ate and a captain of the 1968 team.

The play-by-play announc-er for the Tomcats since 1986, Rooks worked for three years on the book, which has 375 photos.

“Football has been the glue that has kept us together,” Rooks said. “You don’t ask somebody in Brownsville what you are doing on Friday night, everybody asked what time you were leaving,” said Rooks. “You literally could roll up the sidewalks and if the town caught ire during an away game, the town would burn down because everybody was gone. All the years I heard the stories and heard people talk about football and how important it was to our way of life.”

The Tomcats’ quarterback from 1968-70 and now director of player personnel for Missis-sippi State’s football program, Rockey Felker called Browns-ville a “ghost town” during an away game. “It could not have been a better place to grow up and play high school foot-ball. It is what you dream of growing up. The community was very much involved in supporting the team. Friday nights were special.”

Said Brownsville publisher Carlton Veirs, “It’s like Friday night lights in small-town America. It was a rallying cry for the community. We were vicariously living through the football team. We were able to wave the lag about Tomcat football.”

During the Hooper years from 1955-70, the Tomcats had the only undefeated seasons in school history, 1957, 1961, 1968 and 1969. They had winning streaks of 29 games (1968-70) and 23 games (1960-62), were Associated Press state champions in 1969 and won their irst Big Ten Conference championship in 1957. For 15 consecutive years (1957-71), Haywood was ranked in the top 10 by wire service polls.

“During his day in Browns-ville, there were none better,” said Rooks of Hooper. “He was just so focused, so talented. He lived and breathed football 365 days a year.”

Rooks said the book is also a chronicle of West Tennessee history, because the school’s identity never changed. “We remained Haywood County High School. We remained Tomcats. We kept purple and white. This book is for all the 100 years that people invested their time and energy just not the players, coaches (but) the cheerleaders, managers, band members. We did it together. I want to preserve the history of how great this town has been in this sport,” he said.

Rooks writes about Hay-wood playing Jackson High School in a spring scrimmage at Rothrock Stadium in Jack-son in 1951. Players were mut-tering how the Golden Bears were going to “kill them.” When they noticed 3-by-4 feet deep irrigation trenches dug around the ield, one player said, “You see, they are going to kill us and they’ve already

dug our graves!”Against the 3-0 Humboldt

Rams in 1968, Haywood All-American running back Steve Stoots scored five touch-downs in a 44-0 rout. Hum-boldt coach Jim Poteete said afterward, “I’m tired of see-ing Stoots. Every time I turn around there would be ive players escorting him to the end zone for another touch-down: three from Haywood and two from Humboldt.” Stoots, to whom the book is dedicated, died in 2010.

The only school in Tennes-see with the nickname Tom-cats, they were irst called that in 1920, shortened from Thomas Cats. They had mul-tiple players whose last name was Thomas.

In 1920, Haywood traveled in T-models to the Mississippi River at Golddust, Tennessee, to take the ferry to play Osceo-la, Arkansas. It was illegal to cross the river at night, play-ers had to stay overnight and return the next day. They were prepared to stay on the river bank when a local resident of-fered the 16 players one room in his cabin.

In 1955, Oscar Boggs shot of the tip of his left big toe in a hunting accident. Boggs was Haywood’s kickof man. That season Boggs used his knife to shave the ankles of Bobby Joe Harber so they could be taped. Not a drop of blood was spilled in the moving vehicle.

Also during the 1955 sea-son, in a game against Fayette County High in Somerville, a snake was discovered in a pileup. Lat-er the same game was de-layed when the head lines-man coughed up a beetle that had lown down his throat.

I n 10 0 years, the Tomcats won 610 games. Only seven schools in the state had more wins. Phil Massey coached Haywood to the 4A state championship games in 1994 and 1995, both times los-ing to Cleveland.

In 1969, a 15-6 victory over Jackson, the Tomcats’ biggest rival, propelled Haywood to the No. 1 ranking in the AP poll. There were bitter ri-valry games with Covington, formerly Byars-Hall High School, Dyersburg and Ri-pley. A 6-0 win in 1957 gave Haywood its irst conference championship. Rooks said the

1969 victory over Jackson and 1957 victory over Ripley were in his judgment the school’s biggest. (Rooks’ grandfather Irvin “Tiny” Knee coached Ripley from 1927-49. The sta-dium is named for him).

Former Haywood prin-cipal and assistant football coach Gordon Perry said that the book is “like a page out of the movie “Hoosiers.” It’s like a dream come true that you were born and raised into an environment of Haywood High School and have some-one as eicient as Robert to put into print.”

Collierville resident Mary Kay Clark Roy grew up in Brownsville. A 1953 graduate, Roy was a cheerleader. Her brother Tommy Clark was captain of the 1959 team. She is pictured in the book along

with her late husband Dr. Shane Roy, who played from 1949-52.

“It brought back a lot of memories. You look for peo-ple you know. That era that played in the ’40s and ’50s are

dying of. This puts their his-tory down on paper and can help other people see what life was like then. It was a style of life that has been lost.”

She remem-bers football being the “fab-

ric” of the city with parades and pep rallies, postgame gatherings at Joella Café, and church being a don’t-miss place.

“Faith was ingrained grow-ing up,” said Mike English, a 1964 graduate who played on the 1962 and 1963 teams. “We were at church on Sun-days and Wednesday nights. Brownsville was very faith-minded. It transferred over into football to a degree.”

Rooks autographs his books with James 4:8, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”

“That is what life is all about. If you have got God, you have got everything you need,” said Rooks, 63.

Former Presbyterian pas-tor in Brownsville, Rev. Will Jones, who now pastors Germantown Presbyterian Church, said, “Robert has a delightful sense of humor that is aided by his faith.”

Rooks was nurtured in his faith by his parents Ned and Eleanor Rooks. His father played on Brownsville’s 1941 team that was undefeated un-til the conference champion-ship game. His grandmother Williard Knee, would read the Bible and help him memorize scripture.

Strong faith-based churches and strong families “were a big part of the Christian climate in Brownsville,” said Felker, who was head coach at Mis-sissippi State from 1986-90 and the 1974 SEC Player of the Year when he quarterbacked there. “There were very committed families that believed in God and were committed to build-ing a strong family based on Christian principles.”

Said Jerry Simmons, a 1955 graduate who played tackle, “Our faith in the Lord and savior Jesus is strong.”

Haywood County commis-sioner Allen King, who ilmed Haywood games for 29 years, said “nothing is bigger than faith” in the community.

Rooks was a part of the Tomcat teams that tradition-ally huddled after games and prayed the Lord’s Prayer, often led by coaches.

“I don’t know what their faith journeys were,” said Rooks of past Tomcat coach-es. “They set great examples. They molded us.” As did foot-ball.

“You can look through the book and ind all these family names. Children and grand-children now come up to me that didn’t know what their grandfathers did and that their grandmothers were cheer-leaders. This is a big historical efort,” said Rooks.

“People say, ‘I want my grandson to have one of these books to know how great his granddaddy was playing foot-ball. It is a big family, a big fra-ternity. It is about Haywood County. It is a purple and white nation.”

Travel

By Kathy KieliszewskiDetroit Free Press

We sat among strangers, stufed into wet suits and squeezed into a

van headed toward a beach. No one was quite sure what to expect when we arrived.

The website had used words like “climb,” “scram-ble,” “swim” and “jump.” It added: “A hair-raising and spine-tingling journey of exploration.”

We were going coasteering.Never heard of coasteering? Neither

had we until I started digging around the Internet as I planned our family’s summer vacation to Scotland. My hus-band, two boys and I would tour castles, visit tiny villages and eat haggis, but most of all we wanted to experience Scotland’s nature and geography to its fullest extent — the cloud-kissed moun-tains, sheep-dotted glens, legendary lochs and rugged coastline.

We were headed to the western high-lands near Oban, a coastal town illed with bed-and-breakfasts and seafood. Think Charlevoix, but instead of white-ish, there was haddock, and where we have Petoskey stones, they have rocky clifs.

Coasteering originated in the United Kingdom and combines sea swimming, rock climbing and clif jumping. Yes, clif jumping.

On the travel site TripAdvisor, I had stumbled on Stramash, an outdoor ad-venture company on the outskirts of Oban. They ofer a series of what they call Adventure Days that include things like sea kayaking, sailing, archery, mountaineering and coasteering.

When we arrived at Stramash’s oice, we met Rob, our guide for the day. He was young, tall, muscular and built for jumping of clifs. I am over 40, mildly athletic and afraid of heights. And yet here I was in a wet suit, life jacket and helmet so I could jump of a clif.

Tucked northwest of Oban is Gana-van Bay and a crescent-shaped patch of beach abutted by steep clifs. This is where we headed in that musty-smell-ing van.

It wasn’t until I plodded into the cold ocean water that I wondered, “What was I thinking?”

Thankfully, the wet suit did its job — it kept me warm from the icy ocean water. We started swimming toward the clifs.

I don’t know if it was the weight of the wet suit or the buoyancy of the life jacket, but swimming was diicult. I was last to reach the clifs and com-pletely out of breath. Again, “What was

I thinking?”My younger son stayed close to his

dad, just to be safe. This was, after all, an ocean, illed with lots of unknowns, not a Michigan lake. My conident older son, a teenager, didn’t even look back to see how the rest of us were doing.

Rob explained the proper way to climb. And fall. Grab hold of the black rocks, not the greenish ones, those are covered in razor sharp barnacles, and when you start to fall, push away from the rocks.

As we began to climb, I said, “I’m not going to be able to do this.”

Yet, I did it. I’d ind my footing and hoist myself up, around and over the rocky crags.

Now it was time to jump of the clifs. There would be multiple jumps, each one higher — and harder — than the last one.

You aren’t supposed to jump as much

as you are to leap. Rob demonstrated irst by striking a runner-like pose; one foot in front, one foot in back, and like a gazelle he leaped of the irst jump.

Not practiced in the art of leaping, I couldn’t decide what felt natural, left foot in front and right in back or vice versa. Frankly, nothing felt natural as I stared over the clif, 10 feet above the waves.

One by one, we leaped, some of us more gazelle-like than others.

The next jump was about 15 feet. Boosted by the success of the last jump, I didn’t hesitate.

However, the inal jump was 25 feet, almost as tall as a three-story building.

My older son was the irst to go. He had been pretty brave the whole af-ternoon, but even he hesitated before jumping. After he emerged from the dark green water, he let out a yell and waved up at us.

After one more internal pep talk, I was leaping, holding my nose, of the clif. The water comes sooner than you’d expect and the impact is harder than you’d imagine. The rush of wa-ter and sound is amazing and scary. Thanks to my life vest, I popped out of the water like a ishing bobber that just lost the catch of the day.

Later in the evening we drove back to the beach as the sun was setting behind the islands out past Ganavan Bay and we walked the dry path above the ocean and clifs to where we had jumped.

We took a family photo and com-pared battle wounds — I had scraped my face with my nails while holding my nose and the boys counted barnacle scratches.

Those little scratches quickly dis-appeared. The sensation of hurtling seaward from a Scottish clif will last forever.

A group of hearty souls go coasteering along the rocky clifs along Ganavan Bay. Coasteering includes scrambling up the clif in wet suit, helmet and life vest, then mustering the nerve to jump into the ocean.

The rocky clifs along Ganavan Bay on the outskirts of Oban, a seaside town on Scotland’s western coastline, is where Stramash, an outdoor adventure company, takes groups “coast-eering,” an activity that involves sea swimming, rock climbing and clif jumping.

IF YOU GOoban is a small ishing village of

about 8,500 people on the west coast of scotland. Unoicially known as the Gateway to the isles, it is a popular summer tourist spot with seafood restaurants serving that day’s catch, boat tours to the islands of the inner hebrides and the oban Distillery, one of scotland’s oldest whiskey distilleries and famous for its single malt 14-year-old scotch.

while in oban and the western highlands, you’ll ind a bevy of bed-and-breakfasts, hotels and quaint inns to spend the night. another option is renting a self-catered cottage where linens and basic kitchen essentials are supplied, but for the most part, you are on your own when it comes to cleaning and cooking. a cottage allows a larger group to spread out and it doesn’t hurt that you can save some money on food by eating in.

sites like homeaway.com and Vrbo.com list rentals of all shapes, sizes and prices. we rented a small lodge on a working farm called ballimore Farm estates about 30 minutes outside of oban. we prepared most of our own meals to save money.

a long winding road, past ields of heather and thistle, takes you into the heart of the farm where we stayed, which includes a large manor house that sleeps 12, a small cottage for four and a slightly larger lodge — actually, a duplex-style building — that can sleep up to eight, depending on if you rent part or all of it. the lodge is comfortable, but not fussy and the best part is the view. the farm sits on thousands of acres of rolling hills complete with its very own ishing loch, loch tromlee.

expect to wake to the sounds of bleating sheep and bellowing highland cows grazing in the ield right next to your bedroom window.

we paid 428 pounds about $700 U.s. with a $100 refundable cleaning deposit and a three-night minimum for half of the lodge. but you can get in for as little as 70 pounds a night, or about $116, for this space in the of season from November through March. there are special rates during the holidays.

Let’s face it, losing our three namesake schools has proven to bea mess. Our taxes are likely to go up and our property values arelikely to go down. Because our city leaders gave up on gettingGermantown Elementary, we now have a situation where thatschool is underutilized and Riverdale is overcrowded. And withtoo many students in the Germantown Municipal Schools, thecity may have to spend $30 million on a new school.

George Brogdon has a plan to work collaboratively with otherofficials – county, state and federal – to make our municipalschools better and to get our three schools back for the good ofall of Germantown. He shares your concerns about the negativeimpact losing Germantown Elementary, Germantown Middleand Germantown High is having on the entire city.

MARGARET KARCH ZAIMES/AMERICAN RED CROSS

Elizabeth Black of Germantown often sketched as many as 12 soldiers a day. Soldiers entered a lottery to be selected as subjects. On Saturday, a special documentary about Black will be held at the Morton Museum at 2 p.m.


As a child, German-town resident John Black remembers hearing his mother’s World War II sto-ries about her wartime ex-periences, but they seemed part of a distant past.

Elizabeth Black was a rising Pittsburgh portrait artist in 1943 when she signed up with the Ameri-can Red Cross to go over-seas. In 2010, 27 years after her death, Black found his mother’s memorabilia, which had been stored in a footlocker. He and his wife realized that there was a story to be told. He vowed to get her story out.

Black will tell the story of his “talented and dedi-

cated mother” through a documentary and personal recollections on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Morton Mu-seum in Collierville. He will also have items from that footlocker.

“Soldiers’ Portraits” is a Collierville Reads 2014 event. Residents are also invited to read Bob Greene’s “Once Upon a Town,” the story of the North Platte Canteen, a homeland “miracle.”

This free event is open to the public. The Morton Museum, 196 N. Main in Collierville, also features a 70th anniversary D-Day exhibit. Refreshments will be served. For information, visit colliervilleliteracy.org or call 901-854-0288.

Morton Museum to host Elizabeth Black event


Senior American Day at Delta Fair & Music Festi-val hosted more than 2,000 fun loving seniors on Sept. 3, at the Agricenter Mem-phis.

Mayor AC Wharton and Mayor Mark Luttrell greet-ed the seniors and thanked them for their importance in the community.

With a full day of senior activities, there was some-thing for everyone’s inter-est. Shirley Cherry, rep-resenting Orange Mound Senior Center, and Neal Snodgrass, representing Central Church Seniors, were crowned Mr. and Ms. Senior American Delta Fair in the Senior Ameri-can contest.

The Senior Talent show entertained seniors and showcased some of the area’s most talented Se-niors. The Jim Mahannah Jr Band provided hours of dancing music that kept everyone kicking up their heels whether they were seniors or not.

Director Jan Hamil-

ton told reporters, “Our owner, Mark Lovell, loves seniors! We don’t have cor-porate sponsors for Senior American Day, Mark pro-vides this as a thank you to all of our seniors for Shelby County and sur-

rounding counties. We still had buses pulling in at 11:30 a.m. to enjoy Senior American Day.”

Senior vendors and health professionals were on hand to talk to the se-niors and gave out infor-

mation and services to them.

“There is so much to be learned from our seniors,” Hamilton said. “We are already planning a bigger and more exciting day for them in 2015.”

SHELBYCOUNTY

By Stacey EwellSpecial to The Weekly

The city of German-town is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration Tennes-see District to conduct a prescription drug “Take-Back” program Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two locations.

Germantown Police will be collecting expired, unused or unwanted pre-scription drugs at Kroger, 2130 Exeter Road, and Target, 9235 Poplar, near Forest Hill-Irene Road. Only pills or patches will be collected. Liquids, nee-dles and sharps will not be accepted. The program is free and anonymous.

The Take Back initia-tive is a program of the U.S. DEA and addresses a vital public safety and pub-lic health issue. Prescrip-tion drugs that languish in medicine cabinets create

a public health and safety concern because they are highly susceptible to di-version, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a major-ity of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, includ-ing from the home medi-cine cabinet.

Last April, Ameri-cans turned in 390 tons of prescription drugs at over 6,072 sites operated by the DEA and its thou-sands of state and local law enforcement partners. Collection sites in every local community can be found by visiting dea.gov and clicking on the “Got Drugs?” icon or by call-ing 800-882-9539. For more information on the Germantown event, con-tact Captain Mike Gray at [email protected] or 901-757-7331.

Stacey Ewell is the assistant to

the City Administrator.
