As soon as early voting results posted, both George Brogdon and Mike Palaz-zolo’s campaigns knew the race for Germantown mayor was over.

Palazzolo jumped ahead by more than 1,300 votes, and it wasn’t long before Brogdon called him to concede the race. By 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, with all 12 pre-cincts report-ing, Palazzolo had won with 54.3 percent of the vote.

Palazzolo, 50, said people in the city were concerned about its future, and they could “breathe easier.”

“They’re able to see what the real issues are, and they spoke today,” he said.

Both candidates gave speeches to supporters at their respective gatherings immediately after the phone call.

Brogdon, 58, thanked his supporters at the Mesquite Chop House and told them just before 8:15 p.m. that he had already spoken to Palaz-zolo and conceded the race.

“I told him I’m going to do everything I can to support him,” Brogdon said, and that he was proud his campaign “did bring up some issues that need to be discussed.”

Brogdon said after his speech that he was not disap-pointed. “We ran a really hard race, put it all out there on the field,” he said, adding that he

What was the most ex-citing thing that happened in your neighborhood last week?

If you live in Greentrees Neighborhood in East Memphis, it surely had to be the sight of a house moving — and getting stuck — on your street.

The historic Kirby Farm House, built in 1834, be-longs to Walter Wills and his family and was being moved from its Poplar Pike location in Germantown where it has been for 180

years. The land was sold in 2013 to developer Ray Gill, whose plans for the property did not include the house.

Greentrees Neighbor-hood is usually a peace-ful place, with beautiful tree-lined streets, located south of Poplar Pike on ei-ther side of Kirby Parkway. The house move saga was supposed to take only a few hours but took three days due to unexpected events that occurred along the way.

Widely covered by news media, the house first had to cross the railroads tracks north of Poplar Pike, then traverse a short distance to Satinwood, then on to Hickory Crest

and to the final destina-tion on Messick only a mile away.

The truck carrying the house broke down, mail-boxes had to be removed along the way and tree limbs cut. Street light poles had previously been removed in preparation for the move. The house spent two nights stuck on Satin-

wood before moving on.The best part of the

move was that it brought the neighbors out to watch the spectacle. The neigh-bors became addicted to the circus-like atmosphere and came to the streets all three days to watch. Some were meeting neighbors

By Craig CollierSpecial to The Weekly

When considering a sport for a fam-ily to become involved with, it’s easy to go with the typical activi-ties — soccer, baseball, softball,

football, basketball, cheerleading and so on. For the more adventurous, speedskating

has become the sport of choice. In this part of the country speedskating in done on in-line skates.

On Nov. 1, the Sprinters Speed Club Collier-ville hosted a competition for all categories of speed skating associated with the Mid-South Speed Skating League. The Collierville chap-ter, together with the Murfreesboro chapter, makes up the Sprinters Speed Club. At last Sunday’s event, there were nearly 100 com-petitors at Funquest in Collierville.

After seven years of debate in the Tennessee General Assem-bly, voters in Shelby County’s municipalities voted to allow the sale of wine in food stores.

However, the law won’t allow wine to come to area grocery and convenience stores earlier than July 2016.

It has been a long ight, and the success countywide shows that consumers want the con-

venience of being able to buy wine with groceries, said Randy Stepherson, with the local Red White and Food campaign and president of SuperLo Foods.

“We’re looking forward to be-ing able to sell that irst bottle of wine on July 1, 2016. We’ll have a lot of time to plan for it,” said Stepherson, whose family-owned chain has six stores in Memphis.

More than 30 states allow wine sales in food stores, he said.

There have been conversations in Tennessee about wine in gro-cery stores for decades, Stepher-

son said, but they were quickly shut down by the liquor lobby.

Memphis voters approved the measure 66 percent to 34 per-cent. Collierville also approved it, 63 percent to 37 percent.

Voters in Arlington approved the measure 57 percent to 43 per-cent. In Bartlett, the inal margin was 55 percent to 45.

The referendum passed 64 percent to 36 percent in German-town. And 58 percent of Milling-ton voters said yes compared 42 percent who voted no.

Lakeland voters approved

68 percent to 32 percent an on-premises consumption referen-dum that will now allow the city to hold a petition drive for wine sales in food stores and eventu-ally a referendum.

There, 63 percent of early voters approved on-premises consumption, compared to 37 percent who voted no.

Residents in 80 communities across the state held wine ref-erendums based on legislation passed earlier this year.

While food stores won’t be able to sell wine until July 1, 2016,

those within 500 feet of a liquor store have to wait a year longer unless the liquor retailer gives written permission.

It also requires food stores to mark up the retail price of wine by at least 20 percent from their wholesale price, and to buy their wine inventory exclu-sively through Tennessee liquor wholesalers.

The law allowed liquor stores to begin selling beer, mixers, bar accessories, party supplies, snacks, cigarettes and other products on July 1 of this year.

Volunteer Bill Kilgore (center) campaigns for Amendment 1 on the Tennessee ballot Tuesday afternoon at the New Bethel Baptist Church polling loca-tion in Germantown. Amendment 1 — which would allow the Tennessee legislature to regulate abortion — was ratified by voters.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

By Richard [email protected]

615-255-4923

NASHVILLE — Tennesseans ratiied all four amendments to the state constitution Tues-day, including the controversial Amend-ment 1 giving the state legislature power to restrict abortion and, if Roe v. Wade is ever overturned at the national level, to ban abortions in the state.

Voters also: ■ Repealed their right to elect the ive

Tennessee Supreme Court justices and 24 state appeals court judges and replaced it with a system similar to the one already in efect by statute — in which all 29 appellate judges will be appointed by the governor and conirmed by the legislature. Voters will get their turn at the end of the judges’ terms, voting to retain or reject them for second and subsequent terms (Amend-ment 2).

■ Banned the enactment of a personal income tax and any payroll tax measured by income, by the state or any local govern-ment (Amendment 3).

■ Allowed the legislature to authorize annual rale and other lottery-type events for the beneit of nonproit veterans orga-nizations (Amendment 4).

The abortion amendment was the clos-est in terms of its vote margin, about 6 per-centage points, but it appeared to cross the double threshold required for ratiication of amendments to the Tennessee Consti-

tution: a majority of “Yes” votes and the “Yes” votes totaling more than half the total number of votes cast for governor.

It was also the hardest fought, pitting right-to-life and abortion-rights groups from inside and outside Tennessee against each other in a costly campaign of televi-sion ads on both sides and voter-turnout eforts.

Anti-abortion groups have pushed for Amendment 1 for 14 years, to reverse a Tennessee Supreme Court ruling in 2000 which declared the state constitution has an even stronger right to privacy and abor-tion than the privacy right to abortion the U.S. Supreme Court declared in its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

The state court ruling struck down four abortion restrictions approved by the leg-islature in the 1980s and 1990s, but upheld other minor restrictions. Until Republi-cans won a majority in the legislature, the amendment to overturn the ruling never won the two-thirds votes needed to send it to voters for ratiication.

The judicial amendment was less con-troversial but still had opposition. A co-alition of political and business leaders led by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam and his Democratic predecessor Phil Brede-sen presented a well-funded campaign in support of it.

Opponents complained that the Yes campaign’s TV ads were deceptive by tell-ing voters the amendment “protects your right to vote for judges” even though it

strips from the constitution this sentence: “The judges of the Supreme Court shall be elected by the qualiied voters of the state.”

Amendment 2 was proposed because many believe the retention-election sys-tem for appellate judges created by the leg-islature over the past 40 years violated that sentence. So Amendment 2 was drafted to explicitly write into the constitution the appointment-and-retention-vote sys-tem plus the new provision for legislative conirmation.

It also allows the initial appointment by the governor to be for a full eight-year term, with the retention election at the end of the term for judges who want new terms. Currently, retention elections occur no more than two years after appointment, and then for every eight-year term.

The anti-income-tax amendment passed as easily as expected. There was no TV campaign for or against it but an income tax has been unpopular in Tennessee for decades.

Due to its arcane wording in reference to the federal tax code, Amendment 4 was the least understood. It adds veterans’ groups to the kind of charitable nonproits allowed to hold annual rales or lotteries.

Opponents of Amendment 1 vowed Tuesday night to ight abortion measures that they view as overly restrictive in the legislature.

“The strong, statewide grass-roots coali-tion we’ve built through this campaign will continue to amplify constituents’ voices to our elected oicials,” said Hedy Wein-berg, executive director of the ACLU of Tennessee. “Politicians need to know that extreme, medically irrelevant laws will be opposed by voters.”

All four statewide issues approved; abortion measure closest of constitutional decisions

“would do it all again in a minute.”

Palazzolo, who is in his third term as an alderman, will succeed retiring May-or Sharon Goldsworthy. At his supporter gathering at Garibaldi’s Pizza, Palaz-zolo said he appreciated Brogdon’s professional-ism in his concession phone call, and that he told Brogdon he would like to meet with him in the coming days. In moving from alderman to mayor, Palazzolo said it won’t be “business as usual” but a continuation of the prog-ress the city has made in recent years.

Palazzolo won despite raising signiicantly less than Brogdon — $8,465 compared to Brogdon’s $40,000 in the third quar-ter. Palazzolo credited his 350 individual donors for helping raise support throughout the city. “We did it with the people here tonight,” he said.

Palazzolo began knock-ing on doors soon after he announced in Febru-ary that he would run for mayor. Goldsworthy an-nounced early in the year that she would not seek a sixth term. Palazzolo con-tinued his door-to-door campaign without an opponent until Brogdon announced just before the August iling dead-line that he would run. Brogdon said previously he considered running for mayor after Goldsworthy announced her retirement but wanted to wait until he turned 58 in July to retire from the city and ile his petition to run.

With ground to make up, Brogdon launched an aggressive campaign, gathering about 100 vol-unteers while also hiring public relations managers and doing phone polling. Brogdon had the backing of several former city lead-ers, including Goldswor-thy’s predecessor Charles Salvaggio.

The candidates difered on many issues, even the extent of the role of the mayor in the city. Palaz-zolo said the results were a “huge relief.”

“I’m pretty proud of what we accomplished,” he said.

Carla Love sat on a tree stump. Christian Tucker tossed a stick into the pond and a brown dog named Shelby chased after it. It was lunchtime Tuesday at Overton Park, breeze blowing across the Green-sward — just not strongly enough to push these two Midtown residents to the polls. Tucker, 39, isn’t reg-istered to vote. Love, 28, has voted recently, but

only in presidential elec-tions.

“I just don’t follow it. It’s just one of those things — especially whenever it’s this election,” she said, referring to the midterms. “I don’t really feel like my vote counts, honestly.”

They’re hardly alone. If we’re to remember the November 2014 election as the one that Tennessee voters made yet one more decision on Lamar Alex-ander and made a signii-cant changes to our state constitution, we’re also to

remember it this way: The one in which Shelby Coun-ty voters, at least relatively speaking, weren’t too con-cerned. Roughly 187,000 Shelby Countians, 37 per-cent, voted in this elec-tion. Turnout in early vot-ing was down 22 percent from 2010. It’s the lowest turnout in a Shelby County midterm since 1998.

Turnout spiked in 1994, when 274,395 Shelby Countians voted. The next election produced just 30 percent. Turnout hovered around 40 percent in the

next three elections.This year, there was

essentially no governor’s race. Try as Gordon Ball might, his quest for the Senate against Alexander failed to reach top-of-mind status. Yet the low turnout is at least a bit surprising.

In the May county primary, 10.8 percent of voters came to the polls — down 13 percent from 2010. In the August county general election, just 27.7 percent of voters cast their ballots — down 17 percent from 2010. Though hardly

a representative sample size, a walk around Over-ton Park revealed some voters’ thoughts. As Ed-ward Dorsay, 26, said he voted because it’s his civic duty. Shelley Durfee was going to vote. Terry Win-frey, 54, said no particular issue or instinct prompted him to vote earlier in the morning: “I just decided to go.”

That’s more voters than nonvoters. But data sug-gest Love and Tucker were far more representative of the county as a whole.

for the irst time and becom-ing fast friends. It was like a big neighborhood block party.

While some neighbors were inconvenienced for a short while, the overall feeling was one of neighbors coming togeth-er united over a common cause or event.

The event ended on a happy note when three brothers, who live adjacent to the inal destina-tion for the house, set up a lem-onade and cookie stand.

The Rouse brothers provided free refreshments for the many workers it took to move and

place the house. The house mov-ers, police, utility workers, city workers and the media enjoyed the refreshments. Even though there was no charge, tips were gratefully accepted by Ben, Levi and Zach. Proud parents of the boys are Memphis Police Pa-trolman Andrew and wife Lisa Rouse.

The historic Kirby Farm House now sits adjacent to Greentrees Holmes Park. The house is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, made even more special by events shared with neighbors in getting it there.

Margie Augustine is a resident at the

Greentrees neighborhood.

The building was packed to the rafters with competitors, family members, coaches and staf. The event drew in competitors from Texas, Okla-homa, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee.

For Leslie Taylor of Mem-phis, she began speed skating when she was looking for an activity to replace running.

“It all started when I began skating on the green line,” Taylor said. “After a while I hooked up with some other skaters who told me about speedskating. Now I partici-pate with my 7-year-old son

Fletcher. He races in a division for his age group.”

Mary Jane May teaches honors Spanish II at Collierville High.

Schools

MARY JANE MAYCollierville High School, honors Spanish II and SGA adviser

Q What was your favorite sub-ject as a kid and why?

A Spanish of course! My pre-school Spanish teacher, Lou

Lea, said I was the most atten-tive preschooler in her preschool Spanish class.

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

A One of the biggest chal-lenges I face as a teacher is

getting students to love foreign language. It is more diicult to teach to a student who doesn’t want to take the class, but I like the challenge.

Q What do you hope to accom-plish as an educator?

A I want students to be able to like language (and for-

eign language) enough that they venture out into the world. I like teaching a subject that allows stu-dents to open up their minds to diferent cultures around them.

Q What is the most reward-ing moment you’ve had as a

teacher?

A When my students continue on to study Spanish to level

four or AP or even continue into a minor or major in Spanish.

Q Who is your teacher inspira-tion and why?

A It may sound cliché, but Jesus is my teacher inspi-

ration. He frequently answered questions with a question, and I have found this to be a great teaching strategy.

Q Who is the person you most admire?

A I admire my husband, Dustin. He has been a dedi-

cated worker since he was a child. When he talks to people, he knows how to make them feel as if they are the most important person in the world at that mo-ment. He is a fantastic planner and is super organized. He loves life; he loves his family; he loves God; he loves others. He is one to be admired!

Q When did you now you want-ed to be an educator?

A I didn’t realize teaching Spanish was for me until an

interim position became available as I began seeking out job oppor-tunities toward the end of my undergraduate program at Uni-versity of Tennessee Knoxville.

Q What is something people would be surprised to know

about you?

A I sing in my church’s wor-ship band and am a frequent

wedding singer.

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

A I have a strange obsession with OPI nail polish, and

especially reading the names of the colors. I would love to be the “oicial nail polish” namer. I love to do manicures, so I would love to do that, too.

Q What would you do with $1 million?

A I would probably irst buy a new car, as mine is at the

end of its rope.

Q If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?

A I wish I could help youth see that their decisions when

they are young afect them long term. I have seen too many stu-dents make decisions and then look back and wish they had done something right the irst time.

The Bailey Bear Boogie was held recently at Bailey Station.

The Bailey Bear Boogie is a run/walk-a-thon in the school’s bus loop to raise funds for the PTA. Students were asked to col-lect lat-rate donations or per-lap pledges. It was tons of fun, and the students were really enthusi-astic about it. The parents loved it, too. The students were getting exercise and didn’t have to sell anything.

The celebration started with a pep rally two days before the event. On the day of the Bailey Bear Boogie, each student had 20 minutes to run as many laps as possible. There were many prizes/awards after the laps had all been counted. All of the money raised will be used to enhance technol-ogy, fund educational programs such as the school’s annual Mem-phis in May cultural event and much more.

One of the most cherished items a service mem-ber can receive is a letter of appreciation.

Girl Scouts from Troop 13242 recognize the sacrifice our military has made to protect our country, so they participated in a letter-writing campaign entitled “Operation Gratitude.” The third-grade Scouts wrote letters to recruits, wounded warriors and deployed military per-

sonnel to express their gratitude for their service. Operation Gratitude is a non-profit organiza-

tion dedicated to showing appreciation to our ser-vice members. The organization sends 100,000 care packages annually to U.S. service members, families, veterans, first responders, wounded war-riors and their care givers. To learn more about the organization, visit operationgratitude.com.

Virginia Dawson of Collierville is the mother of Girl Scout mem-

ber Katie Dawson.

Girl Scout Troop 13242 members Tarah Bertrand (front, left), Kiana Lindahl, Kailyn Lambert, Avery Mann, Kate Rogers (back), Annika Berry, Mackenzie Doddridge, Claire Sholl, Addyson Cannon and Katie Dawson recently wrote letters of appreciation to war veterans in honor of Veterans Day.

As Carl Walker raked his yard’s leaves last Sat-urday near Windyke Country Club, two shiny new garbage and recycling carts sat unused near his house.

Those rolling bins are in a state of limbo, and so are Walker and his neighbors.

The 65-gallon carts were among hundreds the city of Memphis delivered to the Windyke and Kings Mill neighborhoods last Friday. The green and gray bins appeared to be the irst tangible sign that the long planned, long disputed annexation was inally taking place.

City oicials had be-lieved last Friday that the Memphis expansion into Windyke, Kings Mill and Southwind would take ef-fect last Saturday. But by Friday afternoon, the resi-dents there got a judge to block the annexation until a hearing can be held on Nov. 13.

“ ... I read in the paper this morning that they told us to hang on to them,” Walker said of the rolling carts.

“If the time comes that we actually do get an-nexed — and we’re hop-ing we won’t — but if we do, they’re the people that will provide the service and I’m not going to make extra work for anybody.”

Memphis Public Works had planned to start col-lecting garbage and recy-cling every Tuesday start-ing next Tuesday. Inland Waste would do the work under an existing contract with the city.

Now Walker is counting

on his private provider — Uniied Waste Systems — to come collect his garbage on Monday as usual.

The Memphis Public Works Division is not the only city department sit-ting on ready, if and when the southeastern annexa-tion of 3,500 residents and 1.3 square miles happens.

“I just want to encour-age a sense of conidence that we’re ready for this,” Memphis Police Col. Mike Ryall said early last Friday before the court action became known. He’s in charge of the Ridgeway Precinct, which now pro-tects 80,000 Memphians and 43 square miles with 140 oicers.

“We’ve prepared for months,” Ryall said of the annexation. Oicers have done everything from scouting out the streets to communicating with pri-vate security irms that contract with Southwind’s vast gated neighborhood.

The Sheriff’s Depart-ment has been patrolling and responding to calls in

the unincorporated sub-divisions, using four to six patrol cars, said Chief Insp. Cecil Booker of the Sherif’s Department.

If and when annexa-tion occurs, the Sherif’s Department anticipates some confusion. If a new-ly annexed Memphis resi-dence mistakenly calls the Sherif’s Department in an emergency, deputies will immediately respond, Booker said.

“We won’t argue about who’s going,” Booker said. “If there’s a call for service we’re going to answer it ... and work out the intricate details later.”

Walker said he has heard that Memphis Police don’t plan to add oicers and equipment if the an-nexation takes place.

“If they don’t, that means the entire city is going to have thinner cov-erage, which is a shame,” Walker said.

But the addition of just over a square mile will not be diicult for police to ab-sorb, said Ryall.

Annexation by Memphis on hold again until Nov. 13

TOM BAILEY/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Carl Walker says he will keep his just-delivered Memphis garbage and recycling carts until the courts decide whether he and his Kings Mill, Windyke and Southwind neighbors are Memphians.

FedExForum is 10 years old. Our little civic controversy-turned-wild-success-story

is growing up.We should have a party, really.

With candles and a cake.Former Memphis Mayor Wil-

lie Herenton should get a slice. So should former Shelby County Mayor Jim Rout.

Put Arnold Perl and Stan Meadows in charge of the shin-dig. That way we’ll know it’ll be done under budget and on time.

Andy Dolich and Mike Golub have to come back for the cel-ebration. Make sure to invite Gayle Rose, Pitt Hyde, Marty Regan, Tom Jones, Rick Masson, Fred Smith, John Calipari, Staley Cates, Andy Cates, and I’m sure I’m forgetting somebody.

Everyone can toast the mem-ory of Morris Fair, Dave Bennett and Michael Heisley.

Happy birthday to the Grind-house!

Not that it was called the Grindhouse when the first regular-season NBA game was played in it back on Nov. 3, 2004.

Shane Battier cut a ribbon at midcourt. NBA Commissioner David Stern said a few words.

“I’d like to say welcome to our house,” said James Posey, when he was handed the microphone. “We’re gonna go out and play hard, have a great season. So let’s get this party started!”

Then, of course, the Grizzlies lost. To the Washington Wiz-ards, 103-91. Because what about this civic enterprise was ever a breeze?

Or don’t you remember the “No Taxes NBA” yard signs all over town? Don’t you remember the vigorous campaign against the arena led by Heidi Shafer and Duncan Ragsdale?

Don’t you remember the pro-tests when certain contractors didn’t get what they wanted? Don’t you remember Stern get-ting served with a subpoena at the Peabody Hotel? Don’t you remember the complaints about the noncompete clause, and about the naming rights money, and about the whole deal?

An actual letter that appeared in our newspaper during the are-na brawl, from someone named Rick Vanelli:

“Dear Geof,“The majority of Memphians

couldn’t give a rat’s (behind) about the NBA. Maybe if you were a native Memphian instead of a carpetbagger you’d under-stand.”

Dear Rick,Would it be too carpetbagger-

ish of me to say I told you so?FedExForum is a triumph. It

is one of the things this city has done right. And while that list has gotten longer in recent years — see the Greenline, Tiger Lane, Overton Park, Shelby Farms and the Levitt Shell — it was depress-ingly short in 2004.

“There was a lot of skepti-cism,” said Perl, who played a pivotal role as chairman of the building authority. “Public build-ing projects had been wildly late and over budget. But that build-ing proved that with the right vi-sion and determination, we as a community could do something that would represent what Mem-phis is all about.”

Herenton was instrumental to the project. Without him, Fed-ExForum wouldn’t exist. It cer-tainly wouldn’t be in the current spectacular location. That was

Herenton’s decision all the way.Meadows was another who

doesn’t get enough credit. He ir-ritated a lot of people during his time with the Grizzlies. But he cared less about making friends than making sure every nickel went into the building. He was the jerk the project had to have.

So happy birthday, FedExFo-rum. Time, it sure lies by. Your irst decade was better than anyone could have imagined. You persuaded a whole bunch of Memphians to believe.

TOP 5 GRIZ

GAMES AT

FEDEXFORUMOur Grizzlies beat reporter, Ronald Tillery, picks the team’s ive (well, six) best games played in FedExForum’s 10-year history:1. Nov. 3, 2004: Washington 103, Memphis 91 — The Wizards had just eight players due to injuries and suspensions but that was quite enough to spoil the Grizzlies’ opening night at their new $250 million arena.

2. April 29, 2011: Memphis 99, San Antonio 91 — The Griz won their irst playof series by becoming just the second No. 8 seed to upset a No. 1 seed since the NBA expanded the opening round to a best-of-seven.

3. May 9, 2011: Oklahoma City 133, Memphis 123 — This triple-overtime playof game was an instant classic.

4a. April 29, 2012: Los Angeles Clippers 99, Memphis 98: The Grizzlies led by 27 points in the third quarter and 21 points entering the fourth but allowed the Clippers to tie for the largest postseason comeback in the shot clock era.

4b. Feb. 27, 2013: Memphis 90, Dallas 84 — After trailing by 25 points, the Griz matched the largest comeback in franchise history.

5. Oct. 29, 2014: Memphis 105, Minnesota 101 — First time the Grizzlies won their opener since the team moved to Memphis in 2001.

The sudden onset of chilly weather didn’t afect the par-ticipants at last Saturday’s state cross country championships at Percy Warner State Park in Nashville.

On the contrary, said Mem-phis University School coach Joe Tyler.

“Runners embrace the condi-tions,” he said. “It can be a per-fect 45-degree day or it can be 10 below. It’s always a great day to run.”

It was also a great day for the Owls, who took second place in a strong Division 2-AA boys meet. And a great day for Houston’s girls, who inished runner-up in the AAA meet.

“I’m from Missouri, so I’m used to it,” said Mustangs coach Aaron Martens. “I walked them through everything they could expect. It was a beautiful day.”

Martens said he knew Mor-ristown West would be diicult to beat and he was right; Cherie Wilson’s title-winning perfor-mance led her team to a domi-nating irst-place inish.

“But we had run against Brentwood twice during the sea-son and they had beaten us both times,” Martens said. “I think they took it a little personal to inish ahead of them.”

Freshman Ella Baran’s 10th-place inish led Houston. But Martens gave special credit to Ella’s older sister, Amelia, and

Marah Barnhart, who surged from back in the pack late to earn points.

Tyler’s Owls also faced a for-midable foe in Brentwood Acad-emy, which placed ive runners in the top 15. But strong races from Pierce Rose (fourth), Ra-shad Orange (eighth), Clayton Turner (ninth) and Terrell Jack-son (13th) got the Owls home in great shape.

“Our goal was to win state, but

we knew coming in it would be diicult,” Tyler said. “Brentwood Academy had kind of separated themselves during the season.”

In Division 2-AA girls, Lau-ralys Shallow of St. Agnes capped an outstanding junior season with a fourth-place in-ish (19:37.18). Ruth Wiggins of Briarcrest was ifth, 31 seconds behind.

St. Agnes, which also got an eight-place inish from Ella

McLaughlin, placed ifth as a team, one spot ahead of St. Bene-dict.

In Division 2-A, Harding coach Ronn Rubio ended his 42nd and inal cross-country season with a third-place inish, one spot ahead of ECS. Christo-pher Galbreath (12th) and Clay-ton Sharp (15th) lead the Lions.

ECS’ Maggie Kimler was the top local girl in D2-A, inishing sixth.

After 33 years at GermantownHigh School, Charlie White isleaving the Red Devils footballprogram.

“I just feel like its time to makea change,” the 60-year-old Whitesaid Monday. “I’ve notiied the

team and my boss-es. I feel like it’sgoing to be goodfor me and for theprogram.”

White joined thestaff at German-town in 1978, serv-ing under legendarycoach Ken Nether-land. Except for athree-year stint in

the mid-1980s when he workedin sales, White was one of the ar-chitects of a Red Devils footballprogram that was the dominantteam in Shelby County for manyseasons, winning the state title in1983 and inishing runner-up fourother times.

He took over as head coach in2003 and guided the Red Devils toa 14-1 record and a 5A state cham-pionship in what was at the timethe TSSAA’s largest classiication.

White’s last team inished 4-6,narrowly missing out on the 6Aplayofs after a slow start. Heleaves with a career record of 95-49 and his victories total ranks himifth among active coaches, trail-ing Bobby Alston of MUS, KevinLocastro of Lausanne, Mitchell’sNate Cole and Whitehaven’s Rod-ney Saulsberry.

“I was there a lot of years and Iwas very lucky to be there,” he said.

And he was quick to stress thatMonday’s announcement isn’t theend.

“I still want to coach,” he said.“I’ve still got some more years left.”

The Briarcrest Christian School girls soccer team reached the Division 2-AA state championship match, falling to Chattanooga Girls Preparatory School in penalty kicks. The Saints, coached by Alexis Heinz, inished the season 17-2-2.


901-529-2350

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — After 110 minutes of scoreless soc-cer last Saturday, the Briar-crest girls soccer team’s sea-son came to a cruel end.

Chattanooga Girls Pre-paratory School goalkeeper Savannah Williams made a ingertip save to divert Kal-ey Smithmier’s penalty kick of the crossbar, giving the Bruisers a heart-pounding 7-6 victory in the Division 2-AA state championship game at Siegel Soccer Park.

“We had some very young players that we had to put into some spots they hadn’t been before,” said Saints coach Alexis Heinz. “We practice penalties ... but we were pray-ing all week it wouldn’t come down to it.”

After a scoreless regula-tion, the teams went into overtime. Briarcrest goal-keeper A.D. Streetman left the game after being kicked in the face with about four minutes to go in the irst extra session, paving the way for sophomore Marianne Agee.

And Agee came through, saving GPS’ opening penalty

kick. But Williams denied Ashton Pugh before making the big play against Smith-mier to end it.

Alyssa Neuberger, Allison Samisch, Kaitlin Echols, Pey-ton Moore, Megan Henry and Katie Walker converted in the shootout for Briarcrest, which ends its season with a 17-2-2 mark.

“Both of our goalkeepers are strong,” said Heinz. “They both have great gifts. (During the shootout) we just tried to keep it loose and relaxed. But they were a tough team for us because they got the ball back-to-front very fast and kind of skipped over our midield, which is a strong point for us.”

It’s the second career state runner-up inish for Heinz, who coached ECS to a loss to St. George’s in the 2009 state championship game.

HOUSTON TRIPPED UP IN AAA FINAL

The Houston girls soc-cer teams dropped its irst

match in two seasons, fall-ing to Clarksville, 3-1, in the AAA championship game. But coach David Wolf was quick to point out the big picture.

“I told them after the game ‘Don’t let this one game be how you remember the last two years,’ ” he said. “It’s been an amazing run. And it’s not over yet. We’ve got a lot of players returning, a lot of players who will have more experience.

“That’s how this team is. Players move in (to the start-ing lineup) and take over.”

Last Saturday’s loss ends Houston’s year with a 20-1-2 mark. The Mustangs are 43-1-3 over the last two seasons.

They found themselves in an unfamiliar position against Clarksville though, chasing the game against a team ev-ery bit as good. The Wildcats, who scored 12 goals in their three tournament games, end the year with a 24-0-3 record.

Despite controlling much of the possession, Houston found

itself trailing 2-0 at halftime on goals from Kelsey Greif and Salera Jordan. Paola Ellis gave Houston a lifeline ive minutes after the restart. But Ella Baggett restored Clarks-ville’s two-goal lead moments later.

“It’s always diicult to be in that position,” Wolf said. “They countered very well against us. We were on them early. And then they got that irst goal. And we had a lot of set pieces early in the game and didn’t capitalize.”

TWO FALL IN SEMIFINALSSt. George’s, the defending

state champions, lost to Frank-lin Battle Ground Academy 3-1 in last Friday’s semiinals. The Gryphons trailed 2-0 at half-time but got a glimmer of hope when Karina Jensen scored ive minutes after the restart.

But BGA added a goal 10 minutes from the end.

Collierville’s season also ended in the semifinals when the Dragons lost 4-1 to Clarksville.

Lexie Hayes scored the Dragons (12-7-0) goal.

The Dragons reached the semiinals by defeating King-sport Dobyns-Bennett, 2-1.

Food

By Mary MacVeanLos Angeles Times

There’s no shortage of advice about what to eat: home-cooked food, less — much less — pro-cessed food. But with work or soccer practice or whatever it is that cuts into our time, it’s not al-ways easy iguring out what the family should consume.

Many recommendations seem unrealistic and make for plenty of guilt and not much good food. So we asked nutritionists Elizabeth Lee and Andy Bellatti to look around the supermarket for some conveniences that won’t break the health bank.

BREAKFAST ■ Steel-cut oats (They can

be started the night before: Boil water, add oats, turn of the heat, and leave until morning; then cook for about ive minutes.) and quick-cooking oats. If they are too time consuming, Bellatti recommends a cold cereal called Uncle Sam, because it’s low in sugar, high in iber and has lax-seed. Eat it with fresh fruit.

LUNCH OR DINNER ■ Dr. McDougall’s soups. Bel-

latti says they are low in sodium with healthy doses of iber and protein. Some versions are bean- or whole grain-based. And the spices come in a packet that lets the diner decide how much to

use. “There are so many soups on the market that are sodium bombs,” he said.

■ Frozen fruit and vegetables. Look for brands and packages with nothing added, Lee says. They’re an easy way to add pro-duce to the diet. As an example, she suggests layering fruit and yogurt or adding vegetables to pasta sauce. In a similar vein, she gives a thumbs-up to those trays of cut-up carrots and celery, as well as cooked and packaged beets or peeled chunks of winter squash.

■ Fantastic World Foods. The brand includes vegan, falafel and veggie burger mixes; a tofu scrambler; and taco mix. Bellatti says that, while not everyone is familiar with falafel, it’s easy to make. Just add water to the mix and cook the bean-based patties in a skillet or the oven. The pat-ties are often fried but don’t need to be.

■ San Gennaro polenta. It comes in a tube and is easy to slice and heat in a pan or oven for a gluten-free meal with whole-grain corn, Bellatti says. If you want to add a jarred tomato sauce, he suggests Muir Glen.

■ Artisan Bistro frozen meals. Bellatti notes that Artisan Bistro sells such healthful fare as kale sun-dried tomato-pesto chicken (230 calories), grass-fed beef with mushroom sauce (350 calories) and wild Alaska salmon (280

calories). ■ Ezekiel bread. A hearty

sprouted-grain sandwich bread, often sold refrigerated.

■ Bellatti and Lee also suggest natural peanut butter, which generally is made with just pea-nuts and salt. Look for jars with the layer of oil on top. “People often think that means some-thing is wrong, but it doesn’t,” Lee said.

■ Other easy grains include Uncle Ben’s brown basmati Ready Rice and Seeds of Change brand quinoa and brown rice with garlic. Both take 90 seconds in the microwave.

SNACKS ■ Popcorn. It’s one of those

foods with a “health aura,” Lee says. In bagged popcorn, look for plain and low-salt varieties. For a kids’ party, she suggests putting out plain popped corn and letting kids lavor it with nuts, herbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

■ Diana’s Bananas. Dark choc-

olate-covered frozen bananas. They’re great for people who want something sweet without much of a splurge after dinner, Bellatti says.

■ Nuts and seeds. They’re easy to pack or keep in a desk at work. They also can be added to salads, pastas or rice, and used for pestos. Look for those without lavoring and, for economy, buy them from bulk bins.

■ Hummus and salsa. Lee says they can be used as dips, but hummus works also in place of mayonnaise in salads and on sandwiches, diluted with a little lemon juice or water for an ap-pealing consistency. And salsa goes well in omelets or on veg-etables, she says. Buy chunkier, fresh versions, she adds.

■ Wholly Guacamole. It’s sold refrigerated in full-size and mini containers, and unlike some brands, Bellatti says, this one has no sour cream added. Another plus: the fat in avocados is heart-healthy.

‘Good food’ options don’t have to break the bank

By Jennifer Chandlerspecial to The Commercial Appeal

Pork tenderloin is the ideal meat for weeknight suppers and dinner parties. This tender “other white meat” cooks quickly and is less expensive than a beef tender-loin.

When cooking pork tenderloin, there are two tricks to ensuring a lavorful and juicy cut of meat.

The irst trick to a good pork tenderloin is the marinade. With its mild lavor, pork is the perfect meat for a marinade. Tenderloin absorbs marinade really well and is delicious with a countless array of lavors.

I came up with this simple mar-inade one day when I was going through my pantry trying to ind a way to lavor a pork tenderloin. I have to admit it was so lavorful that this recipe is now my tried and true go-to. I have found you can always ind something tasty in the kitchen pantry and that a good marinade doesn’t have to include exotic ingredients.

For maximum lavor, marinate the pork overnight. If short on time, a marinade of 2 or 3 hours will suice. When marinating your meat, always do so in a non-reactive dish like glass or ceramic. The acid in a marinade can react with metal containers to impart a metallic taste to the dish. If you don’t want to dirty a dish, you can always marinate your meat in a resealable plastic bag.

Grilling is a popular method of cooking pork tenderloin, but I rec-ommend roasting. It’s a foolproof way to have a tender and juicy pork tenderloin every time.

Always sear your pork tender-loin on all sides before roasting. This is my second trick for per-fectly cooked tenderloin. By sear-ing the meat until golden brown, you not only add lavor, but you also help seal in the juices. You can sear the meat in a cast-iron skillet or a grill pan.

After you have seared the pork, pop it into the oven to inish cook-ing. This only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Cook your pork until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers about 155 degrees F. Your meat will be juicy and tender. Do not overcook it, or it could dry out.

And last but not least, be sure to let your meat rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will help make sure those delicious juices distribute evenly through-out the meat.

1 pork tenderloin (about 1¼ pounds), trimmed ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon dried rosemary — kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1 in a shallow nonreactive dish (glass or ceramic) just large enough to hold the meat in a single layer, stir together ½ cup olive oil, mustard,

garlic, vinegar and rosemary. Place the pork in the marinade and turn until well coated. Cover, place in the refrigerator, and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.

2 remove the pork from the marinade and shake of the excess. Discard the marinade. season with salt and pepper to taste.

3 Preheat the oven to 395 degrees. in a large cast-iron skillet or ovenproof grill pan over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until a few droplets of water sizzle when care-fully sprinkled in the pan. sear the tenderloin until well-browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the tenderloin to the oven to inish cooking, about 15 to 20 minutes. serve warm.

While everyone has heard the saying about an apple a day keeping the doctor away, it may be that eating an extra serving of citrus fruit would be even better.

Many studies show that eating more fruits and vege-tables is beneicial to health, but a study published in 2012 in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association found that eating more citrus fruits, especially orange and grapefruit, decreased the risk of having a blood clot-related stroke by 19 percent. With the Mid-South squarely en-sconced in the “stroke belt,” this news is something to note.

There could be several rea-sons for the stroke risk reduc-tion. First, citrus is very high in vitamin C, one orange hav-ing 92 percent of all the vita-min C needed daily by adults. Vitamin C helps to decrease inlammation by acting as an antioxidant, preventing damage done to cells by vari-ous free radicals in the body. Some free radicals act to cre-ate more plaque in our arter-ies, and less plaque means less material from which blood clots can form.

Oranges also have many kinds of phytonutrients, in-cluding lavonoids, and some of these help to prevent blood clots as well. Some of these phytonutrients may even help to reduce cancer and decrease changes in our brain that oc-cur with aging, including memory loss.

Additionally, folate, an im-portant B vitamin, is found in signiicant amounts in orang-es. Ample folate in our diets decreases the amount in our blood of a compound called homocysteine, which lowers risk of a cardiovascular event, including a stroke or heart at-tack. One orange has almost 10 percent of the folate needed daily.

Of course, eating oranges isn’t all about health. They taste good, too. Oranges rank No. 6 on the list of most com-monly consumed fresh fruits compiled by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, although we average only a paltry 3 pounds per person per year.

Today’s recipe is a beauti-ful dessert, with bright col-ors and a fresh orange taste elevated by the complexity of the lime-lavored syrup. It is perfect after a substantial meal when you want just a little something sweet, and it would look lovely on a bufet table.

You or your parents may have lived in the

family home for years, so the conversation

around moving to an Independent Living

community is easy to put off. Although you/

they may not be eager to broach the subject

of moving to a new place, it’s important to

talk about this exciting time while everyone

is healthy and can be active participants.

When families wait until a crisis occurs, you

might have to make decisions quickly, which

can result in wrong choices based on apart-

ment availability or without time to research

properly. With the right option, change can

be invigorating, especially when the move

is to an all-inclusive community, one with a

set monthly price, without large buy-ins or

long-term contracts.“

“Robinwood Retirement Community, near

the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an excit-

ing lifestyle and the freedom to appreciate

what’s most important - friends and family.

You’ve saved your whole life, and our res-

idents are happy to retire without signing

their life or life savings away,” said Manager

Joshua Brown. “If you’re looking to down-

size, or if the maintenance and upkeep of

your house has gotten to be too much for

you or your loved one[s], an independent

living apartment at Robinwood Retirement

Community ills a deinite need,” he said.

“Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom

apartments are spacious, beautifully-de-

signed living spaces that include ful-

ly-equipped kitchens, luxurious private

baths, washer-dryer connections, and more.

Our patio homes have additional ameni-

ties including raised ceilings, a dining room

area, washer/dryer included, and a two-car

garage.”

Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby

Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that was

once known as Robinwood Farms. Robin-

wood’s on-site managers and professional

staff give peace and comfort to residents and

their families 24 hours a day. At the push of

a button, someone is available around the

clock, in the event of an emergency.

“It’s a hard move to make,” said resi-

dent Betty Anderson. “A real decision to

be thought out, but after my husband and

I moved here he said it was absolutely the

best decision we’d made and I agree. We’re

so glad to be here at Robinwood. The staff

truly cares, you feel love here, and they are

here for you 24 hours a day.”

“One additional beneit of downsizing at

Robinwood,” Brown continued, “is the sim-

plicity it offers our residents without asking

them to sacriice anything. One monthly

payment to Robinwood, instead of paying

bills to restaurants and grocery stores, to

utility companies for water, electricity, cable

and phone companies, to housekeepers, to

home maintenance companies to landscap-

ers, and to the government for property tax-

es and the like.

“Robinwood’s Freedom Dining means

meals are included in the price of the

monthly rent, so residents don’t pay an ad-

ditional charge each time they eat. In addi-

tion, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood means

that each of our three chef-prepared meals

is served daily within a casual time window

that enables residents to eat on their own

schedules. “You choose when you sit down

to eat,” Brown said. “Residents also have ac-

cess to our Chef’s Pantry, where residents

can enjoy a delicious sandwich, snacks,

drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours a day – all

at no additional charge. Room service and

meals to-go are also available for no extra

fee.”

“We were so impressed with how friendly,

professional, and polite the staff was when

we toured Robinwood.” Residents Pervis and

Mary Nell Ballew commented. “Imagine our

delight when we realized that it wasn’t an

act, continuing to get the red carpet treat-

ment after moving in.”

Interested people can experience Robin-

wood’s family-friendly lifestyle by schedul-

ing a tour. Tours are offered seven days a

week. Brown said, “When you make a deci-

sion to give us a try, your rent is month-to-

month with a full 30-day money-back guar-

antee.

A large sign spans State Street, dividing Virginia and Tennessee, in downtown Bristol, Va. The sounds of some of the earliest country music recordings are filling the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.

By Jef MartinAssociated Press

The sounds of some of the earliest country music recordings are illing

a new museum. But the Birthplace of

Country Music Museum is not in Nashville. Instead, it’s in Bristol, a small town on the Tennessee-Virginia state line. The museum aims to tell the story of the Bristol Sessions, a series of historic recording sessions that took place in 1927 and helped spread what was then known as “hillbilly music” to the rest of the country.

The Bristol Sessions took place after the Victor Talk-ing Machine Co. invented a device capable of recording music for the masses. Vic-tor producer Ralph Peel set up a makeshift studio in the Taylor-Christian Hat Co. warehouse on State Street, recording 76 songs in 10 days. Newspaper ads drew singers and musicians from around the Appalachian region, com-ing by train, horse-and-buggy and on foot. Performers included the Carter Family, known as the irst family of country music.

The artists brought a mix of musical styles, including gospel and the blues.

“It was like all these tributaries com-ing together into a big well of American music,” Emmylou Harris says in a ilm shown in one of the museum’s theaters.

Trisha Gene Brady of The Black Lil-lies is one of several artists who perform “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” in the museum’s Immersion Theater exhibit, which also features Dolly Parton, Wil-lie Nelson and others. Brady visited the museum in September, and says she got emotional when she saw it: “Of course I cried a little bit, there were tears there.”

Exhibits display instruments, re-cording equipment, clothing and other artifacts from country music and other genres, such as gospel and blues. Visitors can hear early gospel records inside a small chapel or step inside a soundproof booth to record their own songs.

What took place in Bristol was not the irst time country music was ever recorded, but “it was the irst time it was ever mass-produced and pushed out to markets like New York and At-lanta and Chicago,” said Leah Ross,

executive director of Birthplace of Country Music.

The museum is 290 miles east of downtown Nashville, where a radio station began broadcasting a show in 1925 called the WSM Barn Dance in a downtown oice building. The show was later renamed the Grand Ole Opry; it moved in 1943 to the Ryman Auditorium and later to the Grand Ole Opry House. The buildings are among Nashville’s top tourist attractions.

Ross says Bristol’s potential visitors include those who’ve already been to better-known music heritage sites in places like Memphis and Nashville,

where the Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame are among the South’s most-visited attractions. She sees the attractions as promoting each other with visitors making stops at multiple sites.

“Especially the international travel-ers — they’ve been to the big cities like New York and San Francisco and now they’re ready to really delve down into America and get to what it’s all about,” Ross said.

Japan is one of many places outside the U.S. where country music is popu-lar. Ross noted that a Japanese magazine called MoonShiner is devoted to country

and bluegrass news. A documentary is also in the works

from Oklahoma ilm director James Payne about country music’s popular-ity in Japan, and how a World War II-era radio station intended for American forces in Japan helped fuel interest in the music that continues today.

Ross thinks some fans may also like the fact that Bristol (population 27,000) is less touristy than better-known destinations. Unlike down-town Nashville, there’s no Hard Rock Cafe or Jimmy Bufett’s Margarita-ville. Instead, on State Street, Bristol’s main downtown thoroughfare sepa-rating Tennessee from Virginia, there are places like Borderline Billiards, where a member of the Old Line Skile Combo jumped on top of the bar and played a washboard last month dur-ing a music festival connected to the museum.

Ross hopes the museum will add to appreciation for Bristol’s role in the early days of country music.

“We’ve had that dream of building that museum and promoting that and celebrating that to the region and to the world for many years,” she said.

“I don’t know why he acts that way,” I said to Cy the Cynic in the club lounge. “His demeanor is terrible.”

“All I know,” the Cynic shrugged, “is that the worse things get, demeanor he gets.”

Grapefruit, our club mem-ber with an acid disposition and a matching tongue, bad-gers his partners unmerci-fully. That of course makes them play worse.

Grapefruit was today’s East. West’s double of South’s pre-empt promised a hand worth at least 17 points. When North raised to four spades, Grape-fruit had enough to double but wasn’t willing to speculate with a bid at the five level.

West led the king of dia-monds. He shifted to a trump — too late. South won, ru�ed a diamond in dummy, took the ace of clubs, ru�ed a club and ru�ed a diamond. He took five more tricks with trumps for 10 tricks in all, plus 590 points, and Grapefruit told the kibitz-ers that West needed a warn-ing label on his forehead.

“You can’t blame me for leading a high diamond when I had the A-K-Q,” West growled.

“You have a point,” Grape-fruit snarled. “But if you wore a hat, nobody would notice.”

Four spades should fail. If West were focused on pick-ing a good lead instead of on the prospect of hearing from Grapefruit, he might reflect that his side has most of the high-card strength, and North-South are bidding on distribution. In such cases, a trump opening lead is man-datory. If West leads a trump, he escapes Grapefruit’s wrath. South will win and lead a dia-mond, but the defense can lead a second trump. South will fall a trick short.

Dear Harriette: I went to an event that was hosted by a woman I met through a professional contact. I thought the event was horrible. It was poorly produced. People came late, primarily be-cause it started too early — smack in the middle of rush hour. And it seemed really disorganized.

Because I came out of respect to my contact, I sat through it, but I was none too happy.

I chalked it up to a not-so-great experience until the host cold-called me for feedback. I hedged around my thoughts at first, but she kept asking, so I told her. What I said was measured, but I did let her know that I was not particularly pleased. I think I said it in a way that wasn’t o�ensive. I don’t tend to volunteer my thoughts, especially if they are questionable, but I actually didn’t volun-teer. She asked me. She seemed to take it pretty well, too, but I’m second-guessing myself now. Should I have just made nice on the phone, or was

it right to tell her what I really thought?

— Heads Up, Brooklyn, New York

Answer: Congratula-tions on your tactful hon-esty. I agree that it may not have been your place to say anything if you had to be the one to bring it up. After all, you said you do not know this woman. But since she reached out to you, it must have been for a reason. While she may have been looking for a�rmation of the success of her event, she got what she probably needed — honest feed-back. You did well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might want to be more creative in how you ap-proach a money venture. Taking a risk might be tempting, but it could be problematic. Curb a tendency to overindulge. To-night: Your turn to treat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Energy seems to surround you right now, which might be necessary to get a proj-ect launched. You seem willing to break precedent and let go of some of your basic points of view. Tonight: The Full Moon throws you into the position of lead actor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Read between the lines and understand what it takes to make someone happy. Once you make that realization, you might not want to relate on the same level. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. A loved one might be stuck in the past. Don’t worry — he or she will catch up. Observe a tendency to take risks or cause yourself an unneeded problem. Tonight: Where the action is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll want to forge ahead with a project. Know that others will be observant and receptive. Be easygoing as you look toward making a change. You could opt to add a new passion to your life. Tonight: A must appearance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. Your perspective could change. You can merge both interests and make peace, but it might seem as if all parties are not on the same page. Tonight: Look be-yond the obvious.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You’ll want to handle a money issue or change the way you handle your funds. You might not be as aware as you need to be. Look to others who seem to naturally stay well within their budget. Tonight: A loved one pushes you to the max.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might try to reach beyond your limits in order to get what you want. Perhaps you are not as aware as you need to be about the outcome of playing hardball with a friend or loved one. If you are not care-ful, this situation could backfire.

Tonight: Just don’t be alone.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHH Your creativity can make nearly anything shine. You often put more hard work and thinking into what you do than you let on. Be willing to let others pitch in. Tonight: Try not to be reactive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your ingenuity is likely to come out without you even realizing it. Sometimes you push a too hard to have a situation play out as you think it should. Others might feel left out of the and act out. Tonight: Be with the one you love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH It might feel as if you have demands being dropped on you left and right, and you don’t know which way to turn. Delegate some work to oth-ers. Do not toss yourself into an emotional frenzy. Tonight: Head home fast.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be hear-ing a lot of news all at once. You might decide to get some more information in order to clarify. Do yourself a favor: listen care-fully and be open. Tonight: Meet up with some friends.

Fraud on the social scene! It has come to Miss Manners’ attention that invitations that are deliberately and shock-ingly misleading are be-ing issued to unsuspect-ing people.

She does not mean to justify imperious guests who are outraged if the hosts fail to cede them control over the menu, the time, the dress code and the remainder of the guest list. Nor does she blame hosts who are unaware of their guests’ legitimate restrictions, although it is prudent, these days, to ask if such exist.

Rather, she is thinking of dinners that turn out, upon arrival, to be fun-draisers; outings whose secret purpose is unau-thorized matchmaking; and parties with unan-nounced amateur enter-

tainment programs, even if those do not star resi-dent children. Most out-rageous are the total bait-and-switch invitations by which hospitality has been apparently extended to those who are issued hosting responsibilities.

If frankly ofered, these opportunities might be welcomed. But prior warning ofers the op-portunity to take another road. Or at least to close the sunroof.

Miss Manners believes that a guest’s commitment to an invitation, once ac-cepted, is generally bind-ing. But she leaps to protect guests who discover that a pertinent — and perhaps unpleasant — fact was omit-ted when the invitation was issued and accepted.

There are ways to re-scind an acceptance once such a hidden purpose is revealed. One may irm-ly state a refusal to end mourning and to “move

on” by considering a new romance. One may claim sudden indisposition without specifying that the indisposition came on at the prospect of home theatricals. One can ex-plain that one’s dispos-able income already goes to charities or candidates of one’s own choice. One may plead to be excused because of an inability to comply with the shopping and cooking assignment.

But when there has been no warning at all, compliance cannot al-ways be avoided. The cor-rect response will vary.

But when an invita-tion to a restaurant party turns out to be pay-for-yourself, Miss Manners will not allow a fuss that ruins whatever good feelings may have ac-cumulated. The hapless non-guest should pay the bill and consider the rela-tionship paid of, with no further obligations.

Sudoku

Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old high school freshman who is de-pressed about my future. As a result of my prema-ture birth, I have a heart defect and lung problems and am very small for my age.

Recently, my family went to a local park. It was humid, and I was so worn out that my older brother let me ride on his back.

Some classmates saw me and thought it was funny, so now all the kids at school have nicknamed me “Baby.”

But what really de-presses me is the thought that I’m always going to be smaller than my peers. My doctor estimates I probably won’t grow taller than 5-foot-1. I want to be a normal teenager. I want a girlfriend and to have fun hanging out with my friends.

Our school is having a freshman dance. I want to take a date, but every girl I have asked has turned me down, and some have even laughed at me. One female friend told me girls think I’m cute, but they’d be embarrassed to be seen with me.

I am scared this is how things are always going to be for me. I don’t want to live a lonely life. I want to have kids someday. I have had fleeting thoughts of suicide, but I would never do that to my family. Any advice on how I can make myself taller so girls will stop seeing me as a little kid?

— Too Small

Dear Too Small: We won’t lie to you. It is more di�cult for men of small stature to attract women, but it isn’t impos-sible. First, you have to meet girls who are more mature than 14-year-olds who are overly concerned with appearances.

You’ll have better luck out of high school.

In the meantime, develop your personality so you are attractive to someone who is inter-ested in a kind, decent, intelligent guy with a good sense of humor, no matter how tall he is.

And for inspiration, consider all the male celebrities who are not exactly towering over you — guys like Prince, Jon Stewart, Tom Cruise, Martin Scorsese, Ringo Starr, Dustin Ho�man, Kevin Hart, Josh Hutcher-son, Spud Webb, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Simon, James Madison and Seth Green.

Their height didn’t stop them.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

“I think Cy worked for the govern-ment,” a club player told me.

Cy the Cynic’s former job, if he had one, is a topic of speculation. Cy won’t discuss it.

“Why?”“I heard him say that old government

bureaucrats never die, they just work as if they had.”

I must admit that Cy’s play reflects an aversion to work. When Cy was declarer at four hearts, he ru�ed the third spade (not best defense) and took the easy way out by cashing the ace of trumps, leading a club to dummy and returning a trump.

THIRD CLUB When East discarded, Cy played the

jack, but West played low. Cy then took the king of trumps and started the clubs; he couldn’t safely lose a trump to the queen. West ru�ed the third club and led another spade, and Cy had a diamond to lose. To handle a 4-1 trump break and keep control, Cy leads the jack of trumps at Trick Four. If West ducks, Cy

continues with the ten. West wins but is helpless. If he leads a spade, dummy ru�s, and Cy can draw trumps and run the clubs for 10 tricks.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Your energy could be o� in the morning, so maintain a low profile. By midafternoon, you’ll be more willing to have an uncomfortable conversation in order to balance a situation. Tonight: As you like it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Follow your sixth sense. Move quickly this morning, as strong actions seem to have even more clout. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ You could be rethinking an impor-tant decision involving a close friend. You would like to see this relationship evolve to a new level. Tonight: Catch up on news.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Pressure is likely to build around some decisions you must make, as those in charge could be quite demanding. Tonight: Test the water before you dive in.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ A disparity seems to exist between what you say and what you feel. You might not be in a position to reveal your true thoughts. Tonight: Let o� some steam.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Your ability to read between the lines and allow more clarity into an issue will come through for you. What you think about a money situation could be di�erent from reality. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ You might want to have a discus-sion that is way overdue. Your beliefs and feelings are important, and they could be challenged by someone you respect. Do not get upset. Tonight: Follow a friend’s lead.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★ You could be in the uncertain posi-tion of having to make a choice. While you might view a solution as being unworkable, others will seem to think di�erently. To-night: Not to be found.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ You could be out of sync with a friend or in a meeting. You will sense that there is an issue, but you might have di�culty resolving it. Tonight: Celebrate good times!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★ You might want to try to improve your situation, but no one seems to be let-ting you know what you need to do. Perhaps someone is very jealous of you and is influ-encing others. Tonight: Order in.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★ Continue to use care with your financ-es. How you see an important matter could change after you have a conversation with a special friend. Tonight: Hang out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ You could be close to getting past a limitation. It will be important to have a conversation with a key person in your life. Tonight: Surf the Web.

Horoscope

This year you often go from being intensely emotional to highly logi-cal. You have a strong intuitive sense that can’t be denied; don’t allow any-one or any situation to prevent you from following it. If you are single, you might choose to relate to some-one quite bohemian in style. Do not commit too quickly. If you are attached, the two of you act like new lovers. You also will develop a new common interest that will add to your relationship. ARIES can be provocative.

MY ANSWER

Prepare now for life’s more difficult times

Q: Some of my friends are really into God, but I don’t see why it’s such a big deal. I’m in high school with lots of excit-ing things going on in my life, and I don’t need God. My best friend says I’m wrong, but how does she know?

— K.C.

A: I’m thankful for your friend — and I hope you are, too, because she obviously cares about you. Don’t ignore her advice or take it lightly, because she genuinely wants to help you. The Bible says, “A friend loves at all times” (Proverbs 17:17).

Why is she urging you to put your life into God’s hands?

For one thing, I suspect she knows life isn’t always exciting or fun, and she wants to help prepare you for the hard times we all experience. Right now, all you can think about is what’s happening now — but it won’t always be this way. Which will be better: facing life’s hard times with God,

or without Him? I think you know the an-swer — and the time to prepare for them is now, by giving yourself to Jesus Christ and building your life on him.

But your friend also knows you could easily ruin your life by getting involved in things that will hurt you or even destroy you.

Don’t sacrifice your whole future for a few moments of pleasure now! What will keep you from doing this? Your friend knows the answer: a firm commitment on your part to Jesus Christ.

God loves you and has blessed you; don’t throw your life away by turning your back on him.

Instead, by a simple but heartfelt prayer of faith, tell God that you know you need Him, and then ask Christ to come into your life. You will never be the same.

A child may appear well dressed on the outside, but lack clean socks and underwear. Last month, a family volunteer group called Little Helpers tried to fill a gap left by regular clothing drives.

On Oct. 25 members met at Donut Hutt in Collierville to collect new packaged socks and underwear for needy schoolchildren at the Les-ter Community Center in Memphis.

The event was part of a project called Trevor’s Socks and Underwear Drive, named after 6-year-old Little Helper member Trevor George of Penfield, N.Y., who passed away in August.

Little Helpers families wore Trevor trademarks to

the event, superhero out-fits and mismatched socks.

Little Helpers has been helping children help oth-ers since December 2010.

The family volunteer group holds monthly ser-vice projects for children of all ages. You can find the group on Facebook.

Helping people beat addiction is his passion

Briarcrest students and faculty recently completed its annual Great Day of Service. This year, the students took part in 32 ser-vice projects.

By Beth RooksSpecial to The Weekly

On Oct. 24, faculty and students from Briarcrest Christian High School participated in 32 diferent service projects through-out Memphis.

Briarcrest’s Great Day of Service provides an op-portunity to give back to their community. Through this program, the students travel to various sites and institutions to provide help to selected charitable groups and individuals.

The tasks were diverse

and included yard clean up for the elderly, tutoring for students at area schools and providing assistance and other services to peo-ple in need.

One of the teams went to former guidance coun-selor Linda Toomb’s home to help with yard work. She was so appreciative that she wrote a letter to The Commercial Appeal. The letter read:

“With so much negative news about the teens of today, I want to brag on a group of six (6) high school sophomores. They are stu-

dents at Briarcrest Chris-tian High School who were participating on Friday in the school’s annual “Great Day of Service,” a project begun several years ago by principal Eric Sullivan and coordinated by Kent Aus-tell, a teacher/coach. The students were accompa-nied by teachers, Mark Na-bors and Marilyn Beasley. All BCHS students and fac-ulty leave their classrooms and go out into Shelby Co. and surrounding areas to perform service/altruistic projects such as cleaning out animal shelters, as-

sisting at nursing homes, homes for Alzheimer’s patients, etc. This is the third time that students have come to my home to assist me due to my health issues. Previously students have cleaned out my low-er beds and emptied my attic; this year they not only cleaned out my low-er beds, but also trimmed all of my hedges. I am so grateful and proud of these young people. They did an awesome job!”

Beth Rooks is the director of com-

munications for Briarcrest.

With the Memphis skyline as a backdrop, Ryan Walker, dressed as Iron Man, slides over the west wall of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital to rappel down the building. Walker is one of the window washers with American National Skyline Inc. who dressed in superhero costumes and entertained patients as they went down the side of the building.

Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man all rode an elevator to the roof of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital last Thursday, but they descended in true su-perhero style.

Dangling from ropes, they lowered themselves in front of windows of the 12th-floor family room, where 2-year-old Carl Kent Jr. tried to high-ive them through the glass and 9-year-old Tristan Hewett looked on in appar-ent wonderment. Floor-by-loor, the costumed win-dow-washers rappelled down the hospital’s west side, stopping to pose or

stage an occasional ight, all for the purpose of en-tertaining young patients.

It was a Halloween-eve treat for kids who have en-dured some scary stuf.

“We just got a kidney transplant, and we’re do-ing great,” said Tristan’s mother, Katrina Hewett, of Greers Ferry, Ark.

Carl, of Savannah, Tenn., has been in and out of the hospital for seven months to deal with mys-terious seizures, said his mom, Rebecca Kent. An-other young patient gath-ered at the 12th-loor win-dow remained tethered to an IV cart.

The event was staged by American National Skyline Inc., the window-washing contractor for

the hospital. Although no windows were washed last Thursday, a great deal was accomplished, said Steve Oszaniec, the irm’s divi-sion manager who por-trayed Captain America. “They (kids) love it,” he said.

American National Sky-line puts on similar shows at children’s hospitals in other cities where it does business, Oszaniec said. This was the second year it occurred at Le Bonheur.

The hospital welcomes such events, said Tim Flack, director of patient and family-centered care and volunteer services at Le Bonheur. Hospital of-icials want to “make this as fun a place as a hospital can be,” he said.

The Germantown Gar-den Club contributed flo-ral designs, an educational exhibit, horticulture speci-mens and helped in many other ways in the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs, District I, Flower Show pre-sented on Oct. 24 at Mem-phis Botanic Gardens.

The stars for the Ger-mantown Garden Club were Regina Scruggs, who won a blue ribbon and Artistic Craft Award, and Pat Smith, who won a blue ribbon and Educational Award.

While the show was be-ing judged, members of Dis-trict I garden clubs and oth-er interested parties were treated to a delicious lunch, entertained and informed by the “Dueling Designers,” a floral design demonstra-tion consisting of five ar-rangements each using sim-ilar material conducted by designer Regina Berryman and Rick Pudwell, Memphis Botanic Garden director of horticulture.

After viewing the beau-tiful, creative, intriguing f loral designs, exhibits and plant specimens in the flower show, one could then enjoy the many outside gardens. The Botanic Gar-dens’ 96 acres are located on Cherry Road in Audu-bon Park. There are more than 20 interesting special gardens, especially My Big Backyard, which was cre-ated for children but is truly a wonder for all ages.

Some Orpheum theater pa-trons used to complain about having trouble hearing per-formers, so the historic venue this year installed a state-of-the art sound system.

Americans have grown taller and heavier over the de-cades, so the theater will soon remove some seats on the bot-tom level to expand legroom in its historic, 85-year-old building.

The seat cushions installed in the big 1983 renovation have become worn and compressed, so the venue has started re-placing all the cushions.

Intermissions occasionally don’t provide enough time for female patrons to wait in the restroom lines, so the Orpheum plans to enlarge women’s restrooms.

And as with any building, interior walls and décor even-tually lose their luster. So the Orpheum plans a big repaint-ing job.

The theater has started renovations that should cost about $1.8 million by the time all are completed over the next several years. That’s in addition to the current $15 million construction project next door on the Orpheum Centre of Performing Arts & Education.

“The Orpheum is respond-ing to a lot of concerns ex-pressed to us over a long pe-riod of time,” president and CEO Pat Halloran said Friday. “It probably looked like we were not listening. I wanted to make sure that the message got out there: We were going to be enhancing the overall operation.”

Some patrons who felt a bit uncomfortable in their seats, had a hard time hearing per-formances or were challenged to complete a restroom run during intermission may have wondered why resources were being used for new education-al and oice space next door.

“I wanted our patrons who have been so loyal in my 35 years to know we’re not spending all our money in the new building,” Halloran said. “... We’re equally as interested in keeping the Orpheum in its best state.”

The theater already has the money, generated by a $2.50 or $3 restoration fee added to the cost of each ticket. The mon-ey has mounted up because the Orpheum has had “a few pretty good years” at the box oice, Halloran said.

Phase I of the planned im-provements — the new sound system — was done earlier this year.

“This is the irst major up-grade to our audio equipment since the 1983 renovation, and

until now sound quality has been an issue for our patrons,” Halloran said. “... We have met and even exceeded the need for an advanced system that will let audiences fully enjoy our productions.”

The new $512,000 system makes two big advances for the hall. It improves the sound coverage, especially the qual-ity for audiences sitting under balconies.

“It is really important for that mezzanine area to hear properly under the balcony,” said Matt Britt, audio systems engineer for Memphis Audio, which installed the system. “... Everybody in the theater hears close to the same thing

and your experience is not di-minished by your seat choice of the day.”

A second project is under-way to improve seating com-fort, both with spacing and the cushions.

Two or three rows of seats — totaling 100 to 120 seats — will be removed from the center sections in the bottom, or orchestra, level. That will allow some of the remain-ing rows to be spaced farther apart. Leg room will increase by as much as 6½ inches, Hal-loran said.

Also, the seat alignment will be staggered so that pa-trons are looking toward the stage between people in front

of them, and not sitting di-rectly behind a seat.

The irst phase cost for cre-ating legroom will be $68,000. “We will start with the orches-tra level and hopefully com-plete that this summer, and move upstairs,” said Kanette Rodgers, The Orpheum’s vice president of marketing.

Seat cushions are being re-placed in phases, with the irst phase costing $154,000.

Part of the need for larger women’s restrooms is linked to the personnel budgets of touring shows. The producers would rather not pay overtime to stagehands, so they require shorter intermissions in the contract with the Orpheum, Rodgers said.

“We do our best to get the longest intermission; we like to get 18 minutes when possi-ble,” she said. “But sometimes the shows push back.”

Engineers are studying the possibility of adding stalls in the now-unused smoking ar-eas of the women’s restrooms, Rodgers said.

The restroom expansions will likely happen after the seating is renovated.

Hutchison has 33 girls that have been named AP Scholars. Eighteen mem-bers of the Class of 2014 and 15 members of the Class of 2015 earned AP honors for exceptional performance on Advanced Placement exams.

Katie Daniel, Connell Erb, Emily Faber, Emma Johnson, Kelsey Kerkhof of Germantown, Molly McCullough, Delany McDonagh of German-town, Reba Moody, Mor-gan Murdock, Ylenia Schardt, Sandy Smith and Parker Tenent earned AP Scholar honors for scor-ing 3 or higher on three or more AP exams. Fran-cie George, Codie Harper, Molly McKinney, Weldon Saunders, and Gabi Stein of Germantown earned AP Scholars with Honor recognition for scoring 3.25 or higher on four or more AP exams. Ashley Barnett, Ali Bush, Virgin-ia Byars, Julianna Christ-man, Caroline Coleman, Katherine Fleck, Anna Johnson, Camille Lindberg, Amanda Miller, Gaby Nair, Dorothy Oehmler, Natalie Rodriguez -Nelson, Claire Sentilles. Margaret Shaul, Ashley Sylvestre, Sundus Tameez, Kaitlin Tillman, Caroline Wade and Sarah Williamson earned AP Scholars with Distinction honors for scoring at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on ive or more exams. Additionally, Gaby Nair, Natalie Rodriguez-Nelson, and Kaitlin Tillman were recognized as National AP Scholars scoring 4 or high-

er on all AP exams taken, and 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.

Forty-three percent of the 170 exams taken re-ceived perfect scores, with Hutchison girls receiving a 5 on 73 exams in 20 AP subjects. Kaitlin Tillman, Class of 2014, scored eight perfect fives. Nair and

Rodriguez-Nelson, Class of 2014, scored six perfect scores each, and Fleck, Class of 2015, received ive perfect scores.

“These girls’ outstand-ing performance on a range of AP exams is a gratifying confirmation of what the Hutchison fac-ulty members see every

day — namely, that our girls are highly capable of academic success within the most challenging cur-riculum oferings available

at the secondary school level,” said Hutchison Col-lege Counseling Director Sherry Blumberg. “We are pleased that, based on their

AP exam results, many of our graduates either re-ceive college credit or be-gin their university studies in upper-level courses.”
