Collierville residents will be receiving a survey in the mail from the town requesting feedback about plans to build a new high school and the tax increase that will come with it. The one-page mailer, sent to about 15,000 homes, informs residents a property tax increase would be necessary to pay of bonds that would be issued to fund the school, estimated to cost $90 million. Public information oicer Mark Heubeger said the survey, which includes a postage paid return card, will ask residents to respond yes or no to the following statement: “I support a property tax increase up to and not to exceed 38 cents to support the construction of the new high school.” Residents should have received the survey beginning last Friday. Residents are asked to complete the survey and return it by March 27, after which the Board of Mayor and Aldermen will hold a work session to review the results. A date for that has not been set, although a town meeting on the high school plan is scheduled for March 31. Additional information on the project can be found on the town’s website, collierville.com. Heubeger said the mailer cost the town $8,900. The aldermen previously said they supported the idea of a public-opinion poll to avoid a referendum, which could cost $100,000.

Whole Foods southern region representative Darrah Gist joked she was nervous when she heard their store in East Memphis would have its own barbecue restaurant. “You don’t go into Memphis and open a barbecue joint,” she said. “They don’t take that lightly.” But the response has been positive, Gist said, not just for the ribs but the entire store. So much that they heard from customers

who wanted a second one in the suburbs, and before long a 41,000-square-foot Whole Foods store was approved for Germantown. Construction is underway at the corner of Poplar and Pete Mitchell Road.

Local help wanted for ambulance company Rural/Metro ofering signing bonuses By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

A shortage in staing has the Rural/Metro Corp. ambulance company ofering big bonuses to new employees to avoid turning requests for service over to competitors. Joe Chiarella, West Tennessee regional director for Rural/ Metro, said the company is still looking to hire another eight

emergency medical technicians and four paramedics, even after a successful job fair. The company hired 14 EMTs, paramedics and dispatchers at its regional oice in Collierville last Friday. Chiarella said the new employees should be on the job in the next two weeks after passing the required drug tests and background checks. All were presented with $1,000 signing bonuses, an ofer still on the table for new hires. In the meantime, Chiarella, who is also a paramedic, said he’s been illing in on ambulance shifts himself. If Rural/Metro

hasn’t been able to answer a call for service from a hospital, Chiarella said the company has offered to call competitors to ind someone who can take the call. Rural/Metro provides the 911 ambulance services for the town of Collierville and Tipton County. It also serves the entire Memphis area for transport services between hospitals. Chiarella said staing shortages have only affected the transport business, not the emergency response. Any holes in staing for 911 dispatchers or responders are illed with employees from the transport services, he said.

“I let them know that they’re my irst priority,” Chiarella said of his 911 contract partners. Collierville Fire Chief Jerry Crawford said the town has not had any ambulances out of service because of staing shortages. Town Administrator James Lewellen said he is also not aware of any problems with Rural/Metro not having enough EMTs or paramedics to cover the demands of its contract, which is worth $423,000 a year. “Our agreement and our service with Rural/Metro has been good,” he said. “We think we’re

saving a good bit of money.” Chiarella said a “mass exodus” of employees who “felt the grass is greener” caused the staing shortages. He said most left for other companies or departments where they could get full-time 24-hour shifts, which pay more. Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Rural/ Metro iled for bankruptcy in August 2013 after it was saddled with debt in an earlier buyout by the New York investment irm Warburg Pincus. The company is now out of bankruptcy, and Chiarella said new management is righting the ship.

Town to review improvement plans

CHRIS DESMOND/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Assistant curator Carol Hesch holds a new chick at the Memphis Zoo’s exhibit “Little Chick, How Do You Grow?” The new display features older breeds that have been largely displaced by industrial farming.

Additions to Collierville Town Hall and the animal shelter, along with a new iring range for police training and a slew of drainage and street projects are on the town’s preliminary list for capital improvements in the next ive years. Town oicials reviewed a draft of millions of dollars in various projects during a Board of Mayor and Aldermen work session Monday. The town hall expansion would be a singlestory wing added to the back of the building, would be about 4,800 square feet and would cost about $870,000. The animal shelter expansion would add a surgery room and a cat quarantine area. Cost is estimated at about $300,000. The town is working on an agreement with the city of Piperton to build a larger iring range that both forces could use for training. Jennifer Pignolet

New at the zoo Chickens are stars of new exhibit, witness hatching, get homebrood advice

By Daniel Connolly connolly@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5296

Surprise: Chickens have personalities. The chicken called Snow will ly onto people’s shoulders, and the bird named Mischievous will sneak inside a house or car if you leave the door open, says Shannon McGee, a veterinarian who raises chickens near Holly Springs, Miss. And on Jean Arnett’s farm in Rossville, the smallest rooster, Lafayette, is also the meanest and often challenges bigger birds. Lovers of chickens are hoping to spread their enthusiasm through a new exhibit at the Memphis Zoo called “Little Chick, How Do You Grow?,” which is housed within the larger “Once Upon a Farm” area. McGee and Arnett give fertilized eggs to the zoo, the public watches the eggs hatch into chicks, and the chicks go back to the farms. Organizers hope that the exhibit won’t just educate young people about chickens, but encourage people to keep their own. The zoo is ofering tips on how to raise poultry in your backyard, including information on local laws. Chickens might seem terribly dull compared to other animals on display at the zoo, such as pandas and Komodo dragons. But Gail Karr disagrees. “I just think they’re wonderful creatures,” she

said, wearing a red T-shirt that read “Chick Whisperer.” She’s overseeing the zoo’s chicken exhibit, and she also keeps chickens in her backyard in Midtown. She says she has a wood fence in the backyard with a small hole cut out, originally for the dog that stayed there. “But the chickens, if they hear my car pull in the carport, they’re sticking their heads out: ‘She’s home! She’s home!’ I mean, they get very excited when they know you’re coming,” said Karr, who is 52 and has worked at the zoo for 30 years. “Of course, you’re bringing them food and worms and all those good things, but it still is exciting to see someone’s glad you’re home.” Chicken breeders are relatively easy to ind within the Memphis city limits. Karr’s house is one of several chicken enthusiasts’ homes that nonproit organization GrowMemphis features on its “Tour De Coop” bike excursion. Shelby County rules allow people to keep up to six chickens — hens only — though the sound of crowing in some areas suggests some people keep roosters as well. The chicks at the zoo come from breeds such as Salmon Faverolle and Black Australorp, which are old-fashioned lines that have been largely displaced in these days of industrial farming. McGee says that years ago,

chickens were bred for both meat and for eggs, and that today’s farms want specialized birds that produce huge amounts of one or the other. Karr sees preserving these traditional breeds as part of the zoo’s mission of protecting endangered species. The irst stage in the exhibit shows the eggs in an incubator that looks like a little yellow torpedo with a window in the side. When the eggs are about to hatch, keepers put them into another torpedo where the chicks break through the shell. On a recent visit, three new chicks with wet feathers wobbled inside this incubator. The keepers eventually move the chicks to a big glass case like a ish tank, where they scurry around, huddle near heaters and peck at a tiny feed trough. Depending on breed, the fuzzy chicks range in color from yellow to mottled black. When the chicks mature, they’ll go back to the farms that sent them. The females will live as egg-layers. Some males will live as a rooster mating with a group of hens. Karr said farmers have historically eaten hens that are too old to lay eggs as well as “extra” roosters. But both suppliers to the zoo exhibit say they consider their chicken operations hobbies, not commercial operations, and they’re usually too attached to the birds to kill them.

20-year-old lioness, Savannah, dies

Savannah, the Memphis Zoo’s 20-year-old lioness with a distinctive roar, has died after being placed on hospice care early this month. Zoo oicials say they decided to euthanize her March 12. “She was one of my favorite cats,” Morgan Powers, a longtime keeper in The Commercial Appeal Cat Country, said in a statement. “I’m going to miss her.” Savannah was born on June 18, 1994, at the Racine Zoo in Racine, Wisc., and lived there until she was moved to Memphis in 2007. Her mate, Fred, died of cancer in 2010. He was also 20. The Commercial Appeal

FOODS from 1 town,” city Economic and Community Development Director Cameron Ross said. The additions will be healthy for the tax base, Ross said, although he wouldn’t comment on how much of an increase the city expects due to the growth. Investment-wise, Whole Foods is spending about $18.5 million on its new store, and Kroger is investing just over $15 million in the expansion. But Cameron said the growth also its in with the city’s focus on healthy living. “All of our grocers can partner with us on a

healthy lifestyles-type program,” Ross said. “These grocers pride themselves on being involved in the community, sponsoring diferent events.” Germantown was selected this week to join a state pilot program called Healthier Tennessee that focuses on improving residents’ eating habits and levels of activity and encourages smoking cessation. Whole Foods focuses on researching where its food originates, according to the company’s website, and offers expansive organic options. Sprouts’ website touts the company as a “healthy grocery store” focused on “what’s next in nutrition.” A store is also opening in

Lakeland in May. A Sprouts public relations representative declined to comment on the Germantown store, as the company has not formally announced its venture into the eastern suburb’s market. But Sprouts oicials appeared in front of Germantown’s Design Review Commission last month for approval of the store’s sign. The store will occupy about 30,000 square feet of renovated space. It will be about half a mile from the Fresh Market, which attracts shoppers from east of Germantown. Collierville Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser said residents have told her they go to Fresh Market in Germantown because their

only options in Collierville are Aldi’s, two Krogers or the grocery sections at Target and Wal-Mart. “There is buzz for some competition for Kroger,” she said. Ross said there are no irm plans yet for the Kroger on Exeter once the Kroger expansion is open nearby on Farmington, although a consolidation would make sense. Kroger has a lease on the property until 2019. Kroger representative Teresa Dickerson did not respond to requests for comment on the future of the Exeter store. She said in an e-mail that the renovation will increase the pharmacy space and add a drive-thru, will of-

fer a larger organic and natural foods department and increase the oferings of prepared foods. It will also have a specialty cheese shop and a dining area. The new Whole Foods will be one of two new stores in Tennessee this year, with the other in Knoxville. Gist said it will open in the summer, with a formal announcement three or four weeks ahead of the opening. Gist said Whole Foods is aware of the other grocery store projects in Germantown. “I think competition is inevitable,” she said. “Overall it ends up being best for the customers. They have a choice and that’s what Whole Foods has always been about.”

Volunteers plant trees at Halle Park Volunteers and members of the town of Collierville’s engineering staf gathered at Halle Park to plant trees. On March 14, volunteers across the state set a goal to plant 50,000 in one hour.

By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

Collierville’s Halle Park was the one of about 70 locations across Tennessee to take part in an efort to plant 50,000 trees in one day. In fact, the goal was to plant all 50,000 in one hour. On March 14, Emily Harrell, senior engineer for the town of Collierville, and Jason Walters, Collierville’s deputy engineer, oversaw the planting of 400 trees at Halle Park with the help of nearly 30 volunteers. “Trees in general greatly help ilter the water generated by stormwater runof,” Harrell said. “Stormwater is considered to be the most highly polluted water in the state of Tennessee. Besides that, trees provide habitat for wildlife.” All types of trees planted were species native to Tennessee. About 25 percent of the trees planted were Virginia pine, 25 percent were hardwood trees and 50 percent were ornamental species.

Jason Walters, deputy engineer for the town of Collierville, pitched in and got as many trees planted as possible in the one hour time limit.

In the years since, her group has raised funds and collected donated items worth more than $20,000 for organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Girls Inc. The group also works to prevent bullying, which Boyce experienced in the fourth grade. Like so many others, she sufered in silence, but when her parents got involved and a local student committed suicide after being bullied, Boyce decided to speak out and put bullying education on her Little Divas agenda. Boyce has made presentations to more than 4,500 students about how to identify and manage bullying situations, and performs interactive exercises to foster understanding of victims’ feelings. She also has taken her anti-bullying message to the media and is involved in a bullying prevention group at her school. In ad-

dition, Little Divas has hosted an anti-bullying workshop, a teen dating and domestic violence brunch, and a pageant to instill conidence in girls who have been bullied. The group also collected over 100 dresses for girls who couldn’t aford to buy their own for homecoming and prom dances. “I want to show my peers that you can do anything if you believe in yourself and work hard,” said Boyce. As State Honorees, both will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all expense- paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where they will join the top two honorees from each of the other states and the District of Columbia for four days of national recognition events. During the trip, 10 students will be named America’s top youth volunteers of 2015. Laree Carter of Germantown, and an eighth-grader at Riverdale School, was named a distinguished inalist. She is an active member of the Riverdale

Ropers, a Jump Rope for Heart demonstration team at her school, and volunteers with the nonproit Jump Club, for which she has helped to raise $10,000 to teach kids how to jump rope and live it lives. Carter, motivated to help others by her grandmother’s struggle with heart disease, has performed at jump rope events at 10 schools in the past year. “Prudential is honored to celebrate the contributions of these remarkable young volunteers,” said Prudential Chairman and CEO John Strangfeld. “By shining a spotlight on the diference they’ve made in their communities, we hope others are inspired to volunteer, too. JoAnn Bartoletti, executive director of NASSP, added, “These students have not only improved their communities through their exemplary volunteer service, but also set a ine example for their peers. Each of their stories is proof of the impact one young person can have when they decide to make a diference.”

Bailey Station Elementary fourth-graders had the privilege of listening to Tennessee Supreme Court Justice and Chief Justice of Tennessee, Janice Holder. Students were especially excited to meet Holder after learning about the branches of government and seeing her pictured in the fourth-grade social studies textbook. Holder allowed the students to participate in a question-and-answer session. Fourth-grader Davis Johnson knows Holder and asked her to visit Bailey Station.

Buying pie was the winning number on Pi Day By Daniel Connolly connolly@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5296

Last Saturday was Pi Day — 3.14 — and some people in Memphis marked the occasion by going out and buying pies. At the Muddy’s Bake Shop location in East Memphis, the line last Saturday afternoon was almost out the door. Sky Howard, a 19-year-old server, cut individual slices, placed them in plastic boxes and handed them to a cashier who rang up customers. The slice price was cut from $3.75 to $3.14, said Emily Wicklif, assistant manager at the location.

Sky Howard cuts slices of pie last Saturday at the Muddy’s Bake Shop location in East Memphis. DANIEL CONNOLLY THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Pi is a mathematical constant used in geometry and for many other purposes. This year’s pi day was widely discussed on social media and drew special at-

tention because it’s 3.14.15 — the irst several digits of pi, which begins 3.14159. It won’t happen again until March 2115. “My whole team has just had

day, but they hadn’t brought their daughter in to work with them last Saturday and had to hustle to meet demand. They ran out of some lavors of pie, including apple and blueberry. “We make sure we never run out of Slap Yo Mama Chocolate Pie,” she said, referring to the store’s signature lavor. She proudly noted that she plans to enter her pies once again in next month’s National Pie Championships in Orlando, sponsored by the American Pie Council. She’s already won prizes. “It was a good, exhilarating day and we enjoyed every minute of it,” she said. “And we wish every day could be like Pi Day!”

such a great time all week getting ready for this and of course making like little pi symbols and jokes everywhere,” said Kat Gordon, owner of Muddy’s, which has two retail locations and an of-site kitchen. “Bakers are kind of like nerds anyway. We use a lot of math.” They have to constantly recalculate the amounts of ingredients based on batch size, she said. The pie frenzy wasn’t limited to Muddy’s. Audrey Anderson, owner of Pie Folks in Germantown, said she’d never seen so many people turn up on March 14 before. She and her husband had planned a buy one slice, get one free ofer to promote the holi-

zation dedicated to transforming youths through art. ■ Steadfastness: Barbara C.

EVENT

SHELBY COUNTY

Volunteers visit schools for voter registration drive targeting teens By Kyle Veazey veazey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2799

State law — the densely worded TCA 2-2-111(b) — requires county election commissions to go into local high schools once a year to register 18-yearolds, or those who will be 18 in time for the next election, to vote. A partnership between the Shelby County Election Commission and the I Am A Voter Collaborative hopes to maximize that. This month, a group of some 150 volunteers working in conjunction with the election commission will be in some 70 schools in Shelby County. They estimate they’ll be in front of some 11,000 students and hope to add about 7,000 new voters to the local rolls when taking into account planned visits to a pair of local colleges. “It’s just an all-around group efort, and I think because of it our numbers will relect greater registration,” said Vanecia Kimbrow, a local lawyer and former school board member. Kimbrow said I Am A Voter, now in its fourth year, has resulted in more

than 10,000 new registrations. It started in about 20 schools its irst year. The staing from I Am A Voter supports the Election Commission’s legal mandate, said Richard Holden, the county’s election administrator. “We have a process we go through of contacting every school, and going out and giving each eligible student the opportunity to register to vote,” Holden said. “In those schools that choose to not have us go to their facility and register students, we train one of the (school) staf to do the registration process, so the student will be registered in person.” Registering in person is important for younger voters: If they register by mail, their irst vote must be in person in order for an election worker to verify their identity. That may be diicult for younger voters, who may be out of town at college during their irst election. Kimbrow said she’d like to see turnout rates of about 30 percent from the 18-to-24 cohort. “Our goal,” Kimbrow said, “is to move the pendulum.”

Spring Fling whets gardeners’ appetites for planting season Spring officially arrives on Friday this year, and it couldn’t happen at a more appropriate time. That’s when Spring Fling, the two-day garden show and plant sale put on by the Memphis Area Master Gardeners for the past decade, also begins in the Red Barn at Agricenter International. For me and hundreds of others, the event marks the start of the eagerly awaited rebirth of plants and the rejuvenation of the gardeners who tend to them. You can feel the excitement and energy exuded by those crowding into the speaker tent to learn about new plants and gardening techniques. You can hear the blissful buzz of shoppers as they gladly open their wallets to buy the latest in perennials, tools, creative crafts and more. With all of them under one roof, it’s a snap to shop farlung area nurseries like Dan West Garden Center, Dabney Nursery, Gardens Oy Vey, Arrowhead Nursery, Bayless Greenhouse, Willow Oaks Farm and Memphis Botanic Garden. “Once again, we have a full house of 40 to 50 vendors with 20 of them new this year,” said Linda Taylor, a Master Gardener and chairwoman of the event. An extra tent has been set up for overlow vendors. “Garden Jumble,” a mini lea market featuring gently used tools, implements and other garden-related donated items, has been added to the mix of shopping opportunities. Some Master Gardeners are as adept with a camera as

they are with a trowel and are sharing their colorful photos of lowers and foliage in an exhibit at the event. Your garden problems can be solved at the “Ask a Master Gardener” booth. Speakers and demonstrators include some of the top horticulturists in our region: Jason Reeves and Carol Reese, both with the University of Tennessee West Tennessee Education and Research Center in Jackson, will speak Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., respectively. Dr. Leila Scott Kelly, a consumer horticulture specialist with Mississippi State University Extension Service, speaks on low-maintenance landscaping at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. A standing-room-only crowd is expected for a presentation by Tor Janson, collection curator for the Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa. He will speak on “Seed Saving 101” at 3 p.m. Saturday. On Friday, a lineup of Master Gardeners will present programs and demonstrations on sedums, raised garden beds, butterly gardening, making hypertufas and the best tomato varieties for hot climates. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, children can have fun while learning in the Kid’s Corner.

At Spring Fling, master gardener Melisa Nowag will demonstrate the drip irrigation system of providing water to plants.

Craft projects, seed planting and other garden activities as well as a science show will be ofered. Admission and parking are free. A complete schedule of programs is available at memphisareamastergardeners.org.

NEW HOSTAS Mark Zilis, an extraordinary breeder of and authority on hostas, will present a photo lecture on “Developing New Hostas,” at 7 tonight at the Memphis Botanic Garden. His appearance is the program for a meeting of the MidSouth Hosta Society, which begins with refreshments at 6:30 p.m. It is free to members and $5 for visitors. Zilis, who lives in Rochelle, Ill., has developed hundreds of hosta varieties such as Diamond Tiara, Marashino Cherry, Savannah and Victory, which was voted the 2015 Hosta of the Year by the American Hostas Growers Association. Victory is a giant hosta with slug-resistant shiny green leaves with yellow margins. He’s also developed several miniature varieties such as Holy Mouse Ears, Rules

Mouse Ears and Calico Mouse Ears and a “tini” series featuring Twirlatini, Limetini and, for Southern sensibilities, Bubbatini. It’s apparent that hosta breeders “gotta have a gimmick” to make their new plants stand out among the 7,000 named varieties. Zilis, a wordsmith who has written three books about hostas, packs his prose with description and humor. His books include the “Hosta Handbook,” the huge “Hostapedia” featuring 7,000 named varieties and more than 1,100 pages, and the most recent, “Mark Zilis’ Field Guide to Hostas,” which he will sell and sign at the meeting.

Come May, sun will set on symphony Lack of appeal ends event By John Beifuss beifuss@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2394

After a 39-year run, the Sunset Symphony will ride of into the sunset following a “Grand Finale� concert on May 23 in Tom Lee Park. One of the three signature events of the Memphis in May International Festival, the annual outdoor concert will be replaced in 2016 by a more “participatory� activity, festival president Jim Holt said on March 9. Holt said the Memphis in May board decided last fall to replace the symphony with a new event for the festival’s 40th anniversary next year. “Every event has a life

cycle,� he said of the Sunset Symphony’s demise, which was kept secret until the announcement. The good news for longtime Sunset Symphony bufs is that the May 23 concert will feature the return after 17 years of “Old Man River,� the song by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II that was a centerpiece of the symphony until the 1998 retirement of the late James Hyter, the sonorousvoiced singer who each year led thousands of riverside revelers in multiple singalong encores of the “Showboat� tune. This year, “Old Man River� will be sung by operatic baritone Richard Todd Payne, a Memphis native. Payne also will join Memphis lyric soprano Kallen Esperian for a duet performance of “Love Me Tender.� Holt said the symphony

REVIEW

Good acting; but sappy material By Jon W. Sparks Special to The Commercial Appeal

“The Boy from Oz� at Theatre Memphis shamelessly stirs oversentimentality with glitz in its celebration of the mostly 1970s pop scene as lived by singersongwriter Peter Allen. Who, you might ask? As the old saying goes, you might not know the name, but you know his music. He was a born entertainer from Australia who went for the brass ring and found it when he impressed Judy Garland. She brought him to America where he performed and wrote music and married

the boss’ daughter, Liza Minnelli. Soon enough, the couple divorced, and Allen came out of the closet, hooked up with his true love, Gregory Connell, and achieved stardom of his own, recording albums and performing in clubs and cabarets, embracing the gay culture that had been liberated in the ’60s. This biographical jukebox musical stitches his songs together with him narrating his life story, from precocious beginnings in a small Australian town to his death of complications of AIDS in 1982. Unfortunately, awkwardness is all over the place:

The writing is flat, the jokes are unfunny, and Allen is not quite as fascinating as he presents himself. It’s a good thing, then, that we have Judy and Liza well represented in the irst act to keep him from talking too much about himself. It’s the fault of the musical, not of the performers. The leads, in fact, are thoroughly entertaining, with Broadway veteran Josh Walden shimmying, shaking and belting out Allen’s tunes with great devotion. The world is more familiar with Judy and Liza, and cheers to Debbie Litch and Emily F. Chateau for taking

Barbecue Cooking Contest (May 14-16). He said a replacement for the Sunset Symphony has yet to be chosen, but the festival board is seeking an event more active than a concert, to lure “a larger and more diverse audience.� Sponsored primarily

over the years by AutoZone, the symphony began as a free family event that attracted thousands of partyers to the river for a day of music and picnicking. “The fact that the symphony was playing on the Mississippi River, that was a pretty special experience,� said former Memphis in May head Cynthia Ham. But, she said, the Sunset Symphony “has been

a conundrum for organizers for a number of years because it just did not pull its share in terms of total attendance for the festival, especially for an event on Memorial Day weekend. “The trick will be to ind something special that appeals to a broader audience,� Ham said. The “AutoZone Sunset Symphony Grand Finale,� as the event has been oicially dubbed, will begin at 6 p.m. with an air show by the Commemorative Air Force, a Texas-based organization that acquires and restores historical aircraft. Conducted by MSO music symphony director Mei-Ann Chen, who is retiring this year, the show will feature popular works by Aaron Copland, John Philip Sousa and, of course, Tchaikovsky, whose rousing “1812 Overture� — popularly known as the Lone Ranger’s theme music.

Dragons’ home field on the mend In the meantime, teams work out at St. George’s School facility By John Stamm Special to The Commercial Appeal

The white dragon paw prints meander for about 2 miles from Collierville High School, marking the way to the football field and track behind Collierville Elementary. If a $90 million high school is built and opens as hoped in 2017, all the athletic facilities for the Dragons’ teams will be together, which principal Chip Blanchard calls a “huge benefit for us and huge is not a strong enough word.” Before then, there’s work to be done on the present track and high school building. Bids are set to open this week on replacing the surface of the Herman Osteen Field track at a cost of about $250,000. In the meantime, the school’s track teams are making the 4-mile trip to St. George’s Independent School to work out. Shortly after school ends in late May, work will start on replacing the high school’s leaky roof at a cost

of about $1 million, resulting in summer school likely moving to Collierville Middle. Those are two of the eight projects for the high school totaling $3.95 million listed in the five-year, $11.67 million capital improvement plan for the district’s eight schools. For the high school, it will be money spent for the future. The school board is considering several options for its use once the new school opens, including making it a third middle school or career and technical center. “It will be incumbent on us to do a good job maintaining that facility and keeping it viable,” said schools chief of operations Mike Simpson. “We plan on it being a facility within Collierville schools for a long time, so we will do everything we can to keep it in the best shape possible.” It’s expected the football field and track, as well as the baseball, soccer and softball fields at the high

Members of the Collierville High School track team warm up during practice at the track on the St. George’s Independent School campus in Collierville. They’re borrowing the private school’s space until their own track is ready to be used. The project is likely to cost about $250,000.

school, will be used by the schools and the town’s parks and recreation department once the new school opens. Simpson, former chief of operations at Shelby County Schools, said the roof repair is funded by the $1 million appropriated last year by the Shelby County Commission and needed because it had “reached the end of its useful life.” The other schools’ projects are contingent, he said, on Collierville receiving more capital funds. They are expected to be doled out by the commission in the spring to the municipal schools and Shelby County Schools. Collierville officials are projecting to receive an average of $2.3 million annually for the next five years. Meanwhile, for the track teams of boys coach Robbie Simmons and girls coach Bob Yates the work goes on at St. George’s, preparing for the season. The track’s top layer needs to be replaced and is expected to take four to six weeks, weather permitting. “We’re excited to get on it. I could not be more appreciative and grateful that the city stepped up to fix the track,” Simmons said.

Our Life in Robinwood In early spring of 2013, we received a lyer announcing an Open House event at Robinwood, a senior independent living for seniors 55 years and older. Our home, in which had lived for 18 years, had four bedrooms (one of which we had converted into a study), and a large game room. It was located on a one-acre lot that also had a workshop, storage shed, and a large L-shaped swimming pool. Although there were only two of us (plus two adult golden retrievers),we had not been seriously considering downsizing. However, we had become disenchanted with the work and expense of home ownership (the American dream); so we decided it was a no-brainer to attend the Open House. We were amazed at what we found. It reminded us of a cruise ship without the sea sickness and rough water. We chose a patio home, aka cottage, because 1) it had more room, 2) it included a built-in two-car garage, 3) it was adjacent to a large area for the dogs, and 4) it looked and felt more like a home than an apartment to us. We were allowed to install an invisible fence that allowed the dogs to roam and play, and we are not responsible for the maintenance of this larger yard. In fact, we are relieved of all responsibility for maintenance, just like the apartmentdwellers. We have all the beneits of those inside the building, including meals in the dining hall, shows in theatre and lounge and after attending residents’ meetings. In short, we have all the beneits of the other residents with the exception of having to leave our “home” for meals and other events in the main building. This can be inconvenient in inclement weather, but the management or staff does everything possible to alleviate the problem with the concierge services and other ways. For example, during a recent winter storm that closed all schools and most businesses in the area, our manager called with an offer (which we quickly accepted) to bring our breakfast. Our driveway and walkways were also cleared that day. We possibly would have moved in anyway, but the availability of a cottage, or patio home, was a deal-maker for us. The entire staff here is unbelievably eficient and courteous (just like a cruise ship). And these two former 50-year homeowners have no regrets about forfeiting their “American dream”.

Joe & Jeanne Morton Happy Residents of Robinwood Prior to our decision to move into Robinwood we lived in Florida and decided we were reaching the age that dictated we move to a retirement community. We researched what constituted a retirement community and what they had to offer. We looked at a lot of retirement communities in Florida and Tennessee. We decided Tennessee was our choice as we have families, and especially grandchildren in the Memphis, TN area. This decision as to geographical location started us on a search of retirement communities in and around Memphis, including the State of Mississippi. Our decision to move into Robinwood and especially the cottages was the fact that the cottages had a double car garage. The square footage of the cottage afforded us room to move some of the furniture we decided to keep and the fact it had two bathrooms met our requirement. The high ceilings in kitchen and living room and the overall loor plan were ideal for our needs. The staff and management have been both friendly and accommodating in our re-settlement in the cottages. The loor plan of the cottage with clothes closets at entrance, a more than adequate kitchen with cabinets, the high ceilings in living room and kitchen give the appearance of a larger area with open environment. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms are an asset. Mary likes the laundry room with full sized washer and dryer which is included and the added storage of the closet in the entryway. In inal analysis we are very happy with our cottage and our decision to inish out our lives here at Robinwood.

Erectile Dysfunction ASK DR. JOHNSON: Somebody who specializes in men’s Does Anything health. Actually Work? sexual After extensive

The Answer is YES!

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a straight up guy. I’ve held off on commenting on the erectile dysfunction (ED) controversy until I was able to really do my homework. Well the results are in.

Erectile dysfunction is a fact of life. Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is a biggie), diabetes, or simply due to aging, the accompanying loss of self esteem is something that effects millions of men every day. And in a nutshell, that seems to be the problem - every man’s ED problem is different and requires different treatment.

research, the only approach that makes sense comes from companies called the Men’s Clinic that have been opening across the country. There’s one here in Memphis. The Memphis Men’s Clinic specializes in ED and that’s all they do. Their doctors seem to be the only ones who realize that ED effects every man differently. They have uniquely combined three medically approved ingredients for ED into 70 different formulations --- one of which will make “it” start happening immediately --- and I mean immediately for over 92% of all men experiencing ED. In fact, if “it” doesn’t start happening on the irst visit, you don’t pay a single penny.

Why didn’t my doctor tell me?

Don’t expect much help from your family doctor. How you perform in the bedroom is not really his concern and he will probably just prescribe some “pills”.

What color is your favorite pill?

Regardless of your age -

Drug companies have jumped all over this like a --- well a drug company. I don’t have to say the names --- we’ve all seen the ads --- but they’ve spent millions trying to convince you all that one pill ixes all --- when in actuality they fail over 50% of the time. And that’s just a fact.

Dr. Johnson is a board-certiied physician specializing in men’s health at the Memphis Men’s Clinic.

Regardless of your medical history or your age --- they have satisied patients ranging from 23 to 91 --- if you suffer from ED you should call the--Memphis Men’s Clinic at ------901-443-0485 today to schedule an appointment and regain your sexual health.

On March 12, representatives from 28 counties across the state visited Collierville to attend the quarterly Tennessee Main Street Program Managers Meeting. As part of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Department, the Tennessee Main Street Program provides communities with development assistance to maintain successful and vibrant downtowns. Laura Todd, Main Street Collierville director, hosted the meeting attended by representatives from the visiting counties and from the town of Collierville. The agenda focused on historic preservation, adaptive re-use and economic stimulation. Mayor Stan Joyner welcomed the visitors with opening remarks and Town Administrator James Lewellen followed with a speech about the importance of social connections in town development. “A great community isn’t about building roads and structures,” Lewellen said. “It’s about building

bonds and developing human character. The key to long-range viability of a town is anything that strengthens our relationships with each other.” Town Planner Jaime Groce gave a presentation on the town’s strategy and implementation of downtown revitalization and preservation. Calling the Town Square the “heart” of the Collierville community, Groce shared housing development plans to continue to expand surrounding downtown areas. In addition to the speakers from the town, presentations were also made by Renee Tavares, southwest development district preservation planner, and Gwen Fisher, director of the Greater Memphis Development District for Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. A group of attending the meeting gave a trial run for a presentation of “Manpower, Money and Mission” that will be later given at the national conference. The program attendees also received a tour of Collierville Town Square and explored other areas of the historic district.
