OUR 1535TH ISSUE 07.26.18 “If you hate democracy and think local governments should operate unchecked and in the dark, then today is a good day for you.”

That’s a tweet from New York Daily News editor Jim Rich, in response to his newspaper’s management’s announcement Monday that it was cutting the paper’s newsroom staff in half, leaving the DN with just 45 reporters and editors. Rich was among those who got the ax.

The Daily News owners, the Chicago-based Tronc, announced in a staff memo that it would refocus its remaining staff on breaking news about “crime, civil justice, and public responsibility.” Whatever that means.

It’s become an all-too-familiar story in recent years, as daily newspapers around the country get squeezed for profits by out-of-town corporate owners. Most newspapers are now about as local as your nearest Walmart.

The Denver Post is another example. The newspaper’s owner is “vulture capitalist” Randall Smith, whose company, Digital First Media, also owns major daily papers in St. Paul, San Jose, Orange County, California, and elsewhere. Smith’s “business model” is to lay off massive numbers of editorial staffers and wring profits from the shell of what’s left. His 17 percent profit margin is the envy of the industry. His company’s newspapers are pathetic.

Closer to home, the Gannett Company has stripped The Commercial Appeal newsroom back to a small cadre of journalists and editors, most of whom you’ve never heard of. The paper still does some excellent reporting (see its recent election preview coverage), but too often it’s stuffed with Nashville-centric copy and odd non sequitur stories from around the country. Last week, for instance, readers were treated to a big story in the weekly entertainment and dining section about the Homegirl Cafe … in Los Angeles, complete with an “if you go” info box.

And the Flyer’s alt-weekly compatriots around the country are not immune to corporate pressures either. Many have been corporately “chained” and, for the most part, have suffered mightily for it. Even local ownership can be perilous. At the Nashville Scene, once a proud and vital journalistic force in the state capital, new owners have forced out several respected writers, reporters, and editors, and the paper’s future direction and prospects are in question.

Even so, all is not lost. Some papers have figured out a business model that works.

The New York Times and Washington Post are doing fine; paywall revenues have largely replaced advertising as their primary source of funding. But will that model work for papers that aren’t national in scope? We may soon find out.

Here in Memphis, for example, a new, much-discussed journalism venture is on the horizon — The Daily Memphian — staffed with a plethora of Commercial Appeal ex-pats, including Geoff Calkins, Jennifer Biggs, Chris Herrington, and many other familiar CA bylines. It will be run as a nonprofit with a paywall and charge $7 a month for access.

There will be no print product.

Other news options hereabouts now include the Tri-State Defender, the Memphis Business Journal, and the Memphis Daily News. None of these publications are free.

In a poor city like Memphis, where 49 percent of the population doesn’t have broadband access, we at the Flyer believe having a free news option is important. Being able to pick up a free paper all over town means that access to news and information is available to anyone. Our website is free, as well. That’s been our philosophy for almost 30 years, and we’re sticking with it, thanks to our advertisers, who recognize that our 90-percent-plus pickup rate means their ads are being seen by tens of thousands of Memphians each week — and our hands-off local owners.

This year, we’ve launched a series we call the “Justice Project.” Thus far, we’ve published JP cover stories on food deserts, wealth, poverty, race, and the city council’s secrecy, with three more to come in 2018, including a story tentatively titled “Information Justice,” that will take a look at how N E WS & O P I N I O N Memphians get their news, and how that THE FLY-BY - 4 process is affected by their education and NY TIMES CROSSWORD - 5 poverty levels.

M E D IA C LI MATE Fly on the Wall’s media coverage has been uniquely critical of Memphis’ broadcast news outlets for a tendency to overreport sensational news with little followup or context to help viewers understand what the scary-sounding information may or may not mean for us.

So, it was an uncharacteristic surprise to catch three, whole, uninterrupted minutes of WMC meteorologist Nick Gunter explaining the fundamental (and non-political) difference between weather and climate.

DAM M IT, GAN N ETT Tom Charlier, a 32-year veteran reporter for the Gannettowned Commercial Appeal, left the paper last week, bringing the number of name-brand journalists to leave there to just about everybody.

Meanwhile, in Indiana, members of the Indianapolis News Guild published an open letter to the Gannett-owned Indianapolis Star.

“We live here,” the letter concludes. “Our children walk the school hallways here. We join our friends by volunteering at nonprofits. We lock arms with our neighbors as we seek to build this community. We carry The Star’s values as we embed ourselves within our neighborhoods.

“So please understand: We want to be treated with basic respect.”

Good luck with that.

Mud Island, Mural, & Memphian The future of our weird peninsula, “mystifying” motives, and more daily news.

M U D I S LAN D D R EAM I N G Consultants explored Mud Island and its future last week and, while the crystal ball may still be dim, officials envision a bright future for the “sleepy” peninsula.

“Mud Island’s future is very unresolved,” said Carol Colletta, leader of the Mississippi River Parks Partnership, noting it’s nearly 40 years old and a “sleepy” asset on the riverfront. “It’s a powerful location with a lot of challenges.”

To wake up the island, Colletta brought in independent advisors to have a look around. However, she carefully pointed out that MRPP has not commissioned any formal study or master plan of the island, “we’re just really exploring what might be with some smart people.”

decided against scrubbing the artwork: “After this issue was brought to Mayor Strickland’s attention, he quickly decided that we are not removing the mural.”

Commissioned to be a part of the Memphis Heritage Trail, the mural was created by Michael Roy and Derrick Dent in 2016.

AQ U I F E R S LI N K E D A contaminated aquifer is linked to the Memphis Sand aquifer, the source of the Memphis’ drinking water, but the mingling of the waters does not yet pose an immediate threat to that drinking water.

The findings are from a report issued recently from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Memphis on their investigation into whether or not Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) wells drilled in the Memphis Sand aquifer posed a threat to Memphis’ drinking water.

Investigators said the city’s water was not in immediate danger, but that more study was needed for the aquifer.

M E M P H I AN O N TH E WAY Official details emerged last week about the city’s newest media outlet, an online-only source called The Daily Memphian.

The news agency will launch in the fall, will cost subscribers $7 per month, and will be funded initially by a nonprofit.

Eric Barnes, president and executive editor of The Daily Memphian, said the need for a new local publication came as The Commercial Appeal has been reduced in size and staffing, and has lost local control.

The editorial staff of The Memphis Daily News will roll into the Memphian. James Overstreet, current editor of The Memphis Daily News, will be editor in chief. Terry Hollahan, also of The Daily News, will be managing editor.

“MYSTI F YI N G” M OTIVES O N M U R AL A local group called the city’s reasons for planning to scrub a civil rights mural “shallow” and “mystifying.”

Some city leaders wanted to remove a Downtown mural after complaints about its historical accuracy and its inclusion of the phrase “black lives matter.” The Midtown Action Coalition sent a letter to Paul Young, director of the city’s Housing and Community Development division. After more concerns like this emerged, Ursula Madden, the city’s chief communications officer said last week that the mayor

TH R OWI N G A X ES Civil Axe Throwing will soon launch a Memphis location of its (yep, you guessed it) axe-throwing concept. The company provides a safe space for people to come and throw axes for fun or for sport.

The company will offer group events, eight-week leagues, and one-hour sessions. The exact location and opening date in Memphis has not yet been determined.

CITY REPORTER

By Maya Smith

Lynching Sites Project adds more markers in Memphis.

Communities can’t heal from wounds of the past without facing them first.

That is the premise behind the Lynching Sites Project (LSP) of Memphis, which aims to memorialize the known lynchings in the Shelby County.

Over the weekend, the group and community members gathered to dedicate its third marker, which commemorates the 1893 lynching and death of Lee Walker. Walker, a young black man accused of sexually assaulting two white women, was dragged from the Shelby County Jail by a mob, beaten, and then hanged in an alley near A.W. Willis and Front.

LSP was formed about two years ago, and it’s comprised of residents who “want the whole and accurate truth” to be known about people like Walker and other victims affected by racially motivated violence in the county’s history. Jessica Orians, media strategist for LSP, said the goal is to have an accurate historical marker at each site.

“Without the Lynching Sites Project, these horrors of the past would never be known,” Orians said. “We try to make things right by telling the entire story.”

The group is actively searching for lynching sites based on the NAACP’s 1940 definition of lynching: “There must be legal evidence that a person has been killed, and that he met his death illegally at the hands of a group acting under the pretext of service to justice, race,

The Lynching Sites Project’s marker for Lee Walker

or tradition.”

Shelby County has a recorded number of 35 lynchings between the Civil War era and 1950. That’s more than any county in Tennessee.

Margaret Vandiver is the lead researcher in charge of identifying the victims and sites of the county’s lynchings. By studying historical documents and old newspapers, as well as interviewing surviving family members,

Vandiver and a team of volunteers “piece together the stories of the victims,” Orians said.

“It’s a tiring and critical process,” Orians said. “It’s just like detective work.”

Vandiver and team are in the process of identifying two more lynching sites, which are expected to be confirmed by the end of the year.

Orians said many people are weary of the group’s work, questioning if incidents like lynchings should be be dug up from the past. But, Orians said without the project, people would never know the truth of the past and the victims would remain nameless.

“We try to turn on the light of truth,” Orians said, quoting Ida B. Wells. “The way to bring about racial healing is to make these sites known to the public.

It’s important to us that these atrocities in history that no one knows or talks about can be brought to light so we can learn and heal the present racial tensions.”

Orians said memorializing the “horrific events” aids in moving forward and bands people together, by creating a sacred place where people can learn and heal.

In addition to the group’s work at lynching sites, they also meet bi-monthly, facilitating “listening circles,” where community members can come and talk through racial issues. Orians said the goal of the meetings is to figure out ways to move forward and heal the “painful wounds of the past that people are still bearing.”

Healing from Horror

POLITICS By Jackson Baker

Contested County Commission Races: DISTRICT 1 (North Shelby County) — Republican Amber Mills is vying with Democrat J. Racquel Collins, a St. Jude administrator. Could turn out closer than many expect.

DISTRICT 2 (East Shelby County, Collierville) — Architect David Bradford can count on well-established GOP voting habits, but political newcomer Tom Carpenter, is a surprisingly active Democratic challenger.

DISTRICT 3 (Bartlett, Lakeland) — Mick Wright, a youngish political vet, is the favored Republican, but attorney Monica Timmerman, the Democrat, has picked up endorsements.

DISTRICT 4 (Germantown) — Incumbent Republican Mark Billingsley seemingly has a lock; Kevin Haley, an impressive speaker, is a future pick for Democrats.

DISTRICT 5 (East Memphis, Binghampton, East Shelby County) — CPA Richard Morton’s hard work won an upset in the GOP primary, but Democrat Michael Whaley has crossover support and could steal the seat.

DISTRICT 7 (Frayser, Raleigh, North Memphis) — Democratic activist Tami Sawyer of Take ’Em Down 901 fame has established herself as a force; realtor Sam Goff, a “moderate Republican,” is hoping for crossover.

DISTRICT 9 (Southwest Memphis, Whitehaven) — Departing City Councilman Edmund Ford Jr. looks like a shoo-in over former school board member Sharon Webb.

DISTRICT 10 (South Memphis, Orange Mound, Central Gardens, Cooper-Young) — Democratic incumbent Reginald Milton appears to have enough support to hold off independent Vontyna Durham.

DISTRICT 13 (University of Memphis, Greater East Memphis) — GOP newcomer Brandon Morrison ousted Republican incumbent Steve Basar and thereby probably doused the hopes of Democratic candidate, entrepreneur/former Election Commissioner George Monger.

School Board Faces: There are several well-qualified candidates running for the Shelby County Schools board seats. (A review of last

week’s public candidate forum at Bridges will appear on memphisflyer.com this week.)

District 1 — Incumbent Chris Caldwell, a financial consultant; Katherine Ayers, a program manager at St. Jude’s.; Michelle McKissack, editor of Memphis Parent; and charter school teacher Michael Scruggs.

District 6 — Incumbent Shante Avant, activist; Pastor Percy Hunter; Minnie Hunter; and Roderic Ford.

District 8 — Incumbent Billy Orgel, businessman/developer; and former teacher Jerry Cunningham.

District 9 — Incumbent Mike Kernell, former legislator; Kori Hamner, former teacher; Democratic activist Alvin Crook; church secretary Joyce Dorse-Coleman; and educational consultant Rhonnie Brewer.

Court Cases: Circuit Court Judge, Division IX — David Rudolph (incumbent) vs. Yolanda Kight.

Rudolph, a scion of East Memphis and blue-chip law firms, was appointed in 2017 by Governor Haslam to the seat vacated by Robert L. “Butch” Childers.

Kight, who holds the rank of magistrate, worked her way up from humble beginnings. In its sample balloting, members of the Memphis Bar Association gave Rudolph the edge.

Circuit Court Judge, Division VI — Mary L. Wagner (incumbent) vs. Michael G. Floyd.

Wagner, who worked at the firm of Rice, Amundsen & Caperton and taught at the University of Memphis Law School, was appointed by Haslam in 2016. She was the clear favorite of Bar Association members. Floyd, a native of Philadelphia and a practitioner there, has run unsuccessfully for numerous legal positions.

Criminal Court Judge, Division X — Jennifer Smith Nichols (incumbent) vs. Jennifer Johnson Mitchell. Nichols, a veteran prosecutor, was appointed by Haslam to fill the unexpired term of retired Judge James Beasley. Mitchell is a veteran of the Public Defender’s office. Nichols won the Bar Association poll.

Environmental Court Judge Division 14 — Patrick M. Dandridge (incumbent) vs. Price Harris. Dandridge, a former city assistant attorney and the city’s code enforcement director, was hand-picked

by Judge Larry Potter to succeed him.

Veteran Memphis attorney Harris has filled in as judge for numerous jurisdictions. Dandridge edged Harris in the Bar Association poll. (For more on this story, see Editorial, p. 8.)

Assessor — SCS auditor Melvin Burgess, a Democrat, has proved his merit in two terms as a county commissioner, but the experienced Republican nominee Robert “Chip” Trouy has been a strong right arm for outgoing assessor Cheyenne Johnson and previous holders of the office.

County Clerk — Democrat Wanda Halbert is the virtual definition of an experienced public official, having served both on the now-defunct Memphis School Board and on the Memphis City Council. Republican opponent Donna Creson possibly owed some of her primary vote to name confusion with former clerk Jayne Creson, but has experience in the clerk’s office.

Trustee — Democrat Regina Morrison Newman, who served a partial term as trustee and won awards for her creditable service, was upset for the office in 2010 by David Lenoir, now the Republican candidate for county mayor. The case she makes for a return is probably strong enough to overcome the Republican candidate, County Commissioner George Chism.

Criminal Court Clerk — Democrat Heidi Kuhn is a veteran of several positions in Shelby County government and would doubtless serve ably in this one. She is matched against Richard De Saussure, the Republican incumbent, whose past experience in the office has prepared him well.

Circuit Court Clerk — Changes in the county charter are forcing longtime Register of Deeds Tom Leatherwood, among other incumbents, to consider transitioning to other offices to maintain

their careers (and retirement equity).

Republican Leatherwood was widely appreciated as register. Democrat Temika Gipson can cite the advantage of her ample experience as an administrator in the Circuit Court clerk’s office.

Register of Deeds — Republican nominee Wayne Mashburn, termlimited after serving two terms as county clerk, a position also held for many years by his father, is presumably well-equipped to replace Leatherwood as Register. His Democratic opponent, Shelandra Ford, has several years of service in county government, but her main hope may be the surviving cachet of her last name, though she is not a member of the political Ford clan.

Probate Court Clerk — Republican Chris Thomas, who served 16 years as probate clerk, famously took a powder in 2010, fearing a Democratic sweep that never occurred, and ran instead for county commission. After serving nearly two terms, he seeks a return to his old job. Standing in his way is Democrat Bill Morrison, who is leaving the Memphis City Council.

Independent Jennings Bernard could be a spoiler.

Juvenile Court Clerk — The decision by previous clerk Joy Touliatos to make a mayoral run opened up the position for a newcomer. Vying are Democrat Janis Fullilove, departing the Memphis City Council after a long and often controversial tenure, and the Republican nominee, Bartlett alderman Bobby Simmons, who boasts a lengthy period of service in the sheriff ’s office.

I asked him to explain by close of business Friday (July 20th), but I have yet to receive any type of reply.

Although I am not thoroughly familiar with the laws in the state of Tennessee, I am pretty sure that causing the election commission some extra work to process a live paper ballot is not a crime.

NEWS & OPINION

As a newcomer to Memphis and the American South in general, I’m used to new experiences and cultural surprises. But I wasn’t prepared for the horrific surprise I had when I went for early voting last Thursday night.

I went to the Agricenter location after work. And my heart dropped when I saw the Diebold machines: We all know their code was tampered with in at least one past presidential election (remember the Gore/Bush vote-switching debacle? I’m from Ohio, so I sure do), and you have to live under a rock within a soundproof booth to not know intelligence agencies are sounding the alarm about possible meddling by Russia in this year’s elections.

Armed with these concerns, I asked for a paper ballot and explained why I preferred this method over the Diebold voting machines this year. I was then given a paper ballot to look over as two poll workers got on the phone for instructions on how to proceed with my request. They were told they could only provide paper ballots for provisional voters: If the voter had ID and was registered, his/her only option was using the Diebold machine provided. I again explained why I was requesting an alternative to that option.

At that point, one of the poll workers backed away from assisting me, while the other continued. As I told her, I was merely asking to exercise my civic duty. She continued with the process of offering me a paper ballot. Until she was taken aside. She came back and informed me that she had been told by Joe Young at the Shelby County Election Commission that if she continued to assist me she would be charged with a crime.

At that point, I told her not to help; I acquiesced to the threat against her. I felt bullied and didn’t have the presence of mind to ask what charge she was being threatened with. My request to cast my vote in a way that couldn’t be electronically hacked was denied.

But my presence of mind came back on the car ride home. I sent an email to Joe Young of the election commission that night, again detailing why I asked for a paper ballot this year and asked

Dog? COVER STORY BY FLYER STAFF

Who’s a good

Celebrating the “dog days” of summer with a special issue about our faithful canine companions.

July 26-August 1, 2018

“Who’s a good dog?”

It’s the ultimate existential question for our canine friends.

(See also, “Are you a good boy?” and “Who’s my good girl?”)

“Who’s a good dog?” we ask, day after day, while scratching Duke’s shaggy head. “Who’s a good pupper?”

They stare back into our eyes, seeking only to please us, their godlike masters. But, in truth, the question stays with them. “Am I a good dog?” they ponder, late at night, before falling into a doggy dream. “Surely, I am.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten that smokey treat.

Yeah, I’m a good dog.” (Dogs are good at self-affirmation.)

So, yes, he’s a good dog. They’re all good dogs. And that’s because dogs just want to make us happy. That’s it. That’s what they live for.

The bond between humans and dogs began 20,000 years ago or so, probably when the first wild canine — perhaps a coyote or dingo — timidly approached a human campfire, got tossed a bone, 10 and began hanging around for more.

Humans soon discovered that dogs

were useful — as guards and protectors, as hunters, as faithful home companions — and as tiny furry accessories that fit into a purse. Well, the latter came much later, of course, after centuries of breeding that brought us the hundreds of varieties of dog we recognize today — not to mention the millions of cross-bred mutts of every size and hue that populate our lives.

Dogs see their “owners” as pack leaders and look to us for guidance, sustenance, and affection. In return, they offer unlimited loyalty and love. And as humans and dogs alike have learned through the centuries, that’s a very good deal. — Bruce VanWyngarden

As any responsible dog owner will tell you, your dog needs a hat. And socks.

The dog necklace, I will allow, may be excessive.

All can be had at PetSmart. They currently carry a sweet royal blue Stetson with a red-and-blue plaid band.

For socks, there’s a selection, but I’d go for the camouflage and skull-andcrossbones combo. That the dog will hate both the hat and the socks is neither here nor there.

Your dog will look swell in a T-shirt that reads “Always Hungry.” Pair that with the “Player” bandana and you’ve got yourself a look. For more formal affairs, there’s the doggie tux and party dresses.

Hollywood Feed also peddles somes cool T-shirts. Will it be the “Pizza is my cardio” or “Everyday is Taco Tuesday”?

Let’s make it both, shall we?

The real genius of Hollywood Feed, though, is all the people stuff. (I remember when that place sold food for your chicken; now they sell lamps.) I mean, how on earth will your pug know that you love him unless you’ve got the pug pillow for your couch? There are blankets made for snuggling and wine glasses etched with sayings like “All you need is love and a dog.”

Of course, you can’t leave your baby behind. Hollywood Feed knows this and carries the Kurgo line of various harnesses that hook into the seatbelt, booster seats so pooch gets a window view, and canine-carrying backpacks.

You can also find a lot of low-calorie treats to encourage puppy’s good

behavior. Fromm’s food is cool because you can switch flavors without the specter of an upset tummy. You’ll really be stylish serving it in Hollywood Feed’s line of Fiesta Ware bowls.

Dogs need stimulation, so make a beeline for Hollywood Feed’s extensive selection of Kong toys, perhaps the most recommended toy for dogs. They’re sturdy, come in a vast variety sizes, and many can be stuffed with treats or kibble. Some of the stuffed toy selection comes without squeakers. I endorse this, as I’ve got a little monster who loves the squeak, squeak, SQUEAK.

Tips From a Trainer Tracey Cain, of Cain9 Positive Training, offers some solid tips for getting your dog to be better behaved and socialized.

What is positive reinenforcement training?

It’s based on building a bond of trust between you and your dog. Creating pain or anxiety damages that trust, so I don’t believe in that kind of training. I’m about starting at young age, if possible, and creating lots of positive experiences between you and your dog What’s the best way to socialize your dog around people and other dogs?

There’s no one set way for training every dog. Each dog is different. You first build the trust. And I will say that having your dog on leash is really important. There’s nothing more scary than someone else’s dog running up to my dog and the owner’s saying, “He’s friendly.” He might be, but it could be stressing me and my dog.

Are some breeds naturally more aggressive?

Some would disagree with me, but I think that’s a myth. Aggression is not really breed-specific. Some breeds are more reserved, but it doesn’t mean that they are necessarily less social or more aggressive.

How do you stop bad habits — jumping up on people, for example?

You don’t reward that behavior. If a dog jumps up on me, I shun, turn, and say “Off!” It’s important that you not let others reward this behavior, like friends who say, “It’s okay. I love dogs.” If they pet the dog when he jumps up, they’ve rewarded that behavior. Just ask them to “shun.”

How about chewing up your stuff?

If your dog is chewing shoes, table legs, rugs, etc., the dog is bored. Get mentally stimulating toys to help spend that energy, but don’t put them all out at once. Rotate the toys to keep them interested. There are even toys that you can put a treat into and the dog has to work for the reward.

What about a dog that barks incessantly?

If they’re outside by themselves, they’re probably bored, as well. Give them a toy; go interact with them. As a rule, don’t leave your dog out in your yard all day. — BV

Doggo Docs Veterinarian Jen Clay founded Utopia Animal Hospital on Madison 10 years ago. She says the most common ailments she sees in her patients are vomiting and diarrhea. Usually, it’s nothing to worry about, just a furry friend eating something that didn’t agree with them. “You can’t really prevent that,” she says, “because you’ve got to let your dog go outside sometimes or they’ll go crazy.”

Usually, if the dog seems otherwise healthy, she’ll treat the symptom and call the next day to make sure the pet is feeling better. But if the dog seems otherwise unhealthy, she’ll order further tests.

“There are about 20 things that can cause vomiting and diarrhea,” she says.

Lacey Rush, associate vet at McGehee Clinic For Animals, says Memphis’ mild, wet climate means that allergens are everywhere. “We see a lot of dogs with itchy skin, and secondary skin infections, and ear infections that are a lot of times connected with environmental allergies,” she says. “I can tell by the amount of pollen on my car in the morning how many of those dogs I’m going to see.”

If your dog is scratching frequently, Rush recommends making sure its flea prevention is up to date. “We do not have weather such that we have a flea season — it’s flea season year-round.”

These days, the most effective flea prevention is oral medication prescribed by a vet. Rush says if you want to use a flea collar, the only good ones are made

by Seresto.

Rush says the most common injuries she sees are cruciate ruptures, which is like an ACL tear in humans. “With obesity on the rise, we see joint stress and tear as secondary to the metabolic disease. It’s pretty common. They come in holding up a back leg, and that’s one of the first things that comes to mind.”

Clay says she frequently hears owners concerned about obesity. “A lot of people ask if their dog is a healthy weight. If you pet them along their side, you should be able to feel their ribs easily without having to dig too much. But you don’t want them to be so skinny that their ribs are sticking out.”

Consult the label on your dog’s food to find out how much to put in their bowl every day. Don’t wing it. “A cup of food is a shockingly small amount,” Rush says. “I’ll never forget a case I had in North Carolina where this pet was gaining weight. The owner was like, ‘Doc I’m only feeding two cups a day!’ I said, ‘Bring me your cup.’ He brought in a Big Gulp from the gas station.

The recommendations on the back of the package assume that’s all your pet is eating.

It doesn’t account for treats. So if they’re getting a lot of treats, back off a little in the amount you’re offering.” continued on page 12

Controlling calories is only half the equation. “Getting sufficient exercise for energetic dogs is important. People will come in and tell me their dog is tearing up the house,” says Clay. “For a lot of behavior issues, if you can just increase their exercise, that will help a lot. And it’s good for us, too. Humans, I mean.”

Clay says if you’re thinking about getting a dog, “First, look at your lifestyle.

Some people want a dog to be a running buddy, while some people want a dog who will hang out with them and watch Netflix. I know people who have paid $700 for a dog, then after the first weekend are like, oh my god, this dog requires a lot of attention. They didn’t realize what they were getting themselves into.”

Adopting a Dog

July 26-August 1, 2018

There are a few different places to adopt a canine companion in Memphis. One of them is Memphis Animal Services (MAS), the largest and only open-admission animal shelter in the city.

During the summer, MAS takes in more than 200 dogs a week, Katie Pemberton, community engagement specialist at the shelter, says. By adopting from MAS, you make room for another dog to come in and be fostered, she says.

Ten years ago, the city was euthanizing more than 80 percent of all pets that they took in. Now, that number is down to a little over 10 percent, Pemberton says.

“Our goal is to never have to euthanize for space again, and we believe we can get there with the community’s support.”

One way to do that is to adopt adult dogs, she says. “Puppies fly out of here,” but adult dogs are often overlooked.

“Where we constantly struggle is large adult dogs, and that is the one category where we do still have to euthanize for space sometimes,” Pemberton says. “We know people want to help, and the biggest way they can do that is helping us get large adult dogs adopted or rescued.”

MAS is the only open-intake shelter in Memphis. This means MAS continues to accept stray dogs even after they’ve reached maximum capacity. Because sometimes this leads to euthanasia, Pemberton says adopting a dog might save its life.

“When you adopt from a shelter or rescue group, you’re saving two lives: the pet you adopted, and the next pet your adoption opened up a space for,” she says.

The adoption fee for dogs is usually $75, but until the end of August it’s been reduced to $30, which covers spaying/ neutering, microchip, vaccinations, 12 a heartworm test, and deworming treatment, as well as a collar, leash, and

customized identification tag.

To adopt a dog, Pemberton says just visit the shelter on Appling City Cove any time during adoption hours, which vary by day. All you need to bring is your driver’s license and the adoption fee.

There isn’t a rigorous application process, Pemberton says. MAS practices an “Adopters Welcome” approach, recognizing that quality homes can be secured without “intensive scrutiny judgment.” Instead, the staff will ask a few questions to ensure the owner and the dog are a good match.

If you’re not quite ready to tie the knot with Lassie, MAS also lets you foster, visit, and volunteer with dogs. — Maya Smith

potential adopters. That’s where HelperFerris comes in. “With Streetdog, there are fact-seekers calling the references and doing the home visits, so the families are already pre-chosen before I get there.

What I’m looking for is, is there a yard? Is somebody gonna be around a lot? If the family already has dogs, I’m really looking at the dog behavior.”

Memphis journalist Fredric Koeppel, who has fostered at least 100 dogs in the past decade, notes that fostering is more than just a local issue. “Most of the dogs we fostered have gone to homes in New England. People in the South are not very good to dogs. They tend to abandon them or abuse them.

Foster family and foster puppy

Fostering a Dog “It all started with a message on Nextdoor,” recalls Kim Koehler. “It said, ‘There’s a dog on the Greenline who’s crying in the rain and will not come to people.’”

“And she immediately thought, ‘That’s a job for me!’” interjects her husband, Jim Duckworth.

Once the dog was in their home, the young-at-heart newlyweds soon discovered that they had actually adopted eight dogs: The mutt they named Gracie was pregnant.

“I didn’t know what to do!” says Koehler. “Luckily the Streetdog Foundation got back to me and helped me out.” The local nonprofit offered advice and arranged meetings with potential “forever homes.” Koehler and Duckworth had stumbled into the world of canine foster families. And, they discovered how complex dog care can be.

Laura Helper-Ferris, who, as an “integrator” for Streetdog, helps to smooth the transition from foster families to permanent homes, notes that “foster families do more than just sheltering a dog while waiting for the forever homes.

They often do a lot to get them through veterinary treatment. They socialize dogs, and even socialize them with other dogs sometimes. They’re evaluating them and seeing, are they good with kids? Who is this dog? The foster often knows that better than the rescue group, so they really are a key link in the whole thing.”

Helper-Ferris adds, “There’s two kinds of fostering. There’s one where you volunteer for the organization and they give you a dog to foster. In that case, the organization pays all the expenses and provides food and medical care and everything. And the other kind is when you find a dog, and you want to help but can’t keep it. An organization like Streetdog can help find a new home for them, but they need the finder to foster the dog in the meantime.”

Duckworth and Koehler ultimately started a fund-raising campaign to cover the costs of their new puppies’ veterinary care, relying on Streetdog to help vet

will you refuse to adopt to them? Is there a general cut-off number? How do you judge how many is too many? Is it against the law to own too many pets?

We have a limit in our system that if someone has adopted four pets from us, a supervisor must be notified to review the record. We look at how long ago the adoptions were, see if those pets are still in the home, try and see if this person is really trying to function as a rescue (so we can have them become a part of our rescue program instead).

There is no limit on the number of pets you can have (as long as you are not functioning in a commercial capacity as a breeder; there are limits

In New England, they have very strict spay and neuter laws. So there’s actually a lack of dogs to go to homes up there.”

When choosing a rescue organization to work with, Koeppel notes that “you really want to make sure that any group you’re affiliated with is 501(c)(3), because then they have certain rules that they have to follow.”

Beyond that, it can be an emotional roller coaster. “When we first started bringing in dogs, and we’d take the dog, after three weeks or six months, to the transport to take the dog up to Massachusetts or wherever, we were just devastated. But you get more used to it, and you realize what a good service you’re doing, although there are a few dogs in our pack that we’ve kept, just because we absolutely fell in love with them.”

— Alex Greene

Full House How many pets is too many? You get one dog, then another. Then you’re thinking, Why not get them all? Before reason kicks in, you picture yourself the head of this herd, obviously leaving out the urine and poop, the fights and howling, the outrageous vet bills, and all that fur in your refrigerator. We asked Alexis Pugh, director of Memphis Animal Services, about the over-enthusiastic pet owner.

If you know someone has a lot of pets,

for that in the county unified code), but the law does require proper care and conditions, regardless of the number of animals you own.

What can happen to the animal if there are too many of them?

Too many animals can mean a lack of basic needs being met for the animals, because the owner is not able to sufficiently care for them and/or loses the ability to see the problems with clarity. If we receive a call and our officers discover a situation where the conditions do not meet the minimum requirements under the law, we either issue a warning, a summons to court, or we seize the pets, depending on the severity of the concerns.

My friend has five cats and one dog. Is that too many?

No. What matters is how the animals are kept. Someone could have 10 animals and do a better job providing for them than someone with one. It is more about what the pet has access to — food, water, shelter, medical care, and hopefully, love and enrichment. — SE

The Dogs Are In. Hollywood Feed’s corporate headquarters were quiet until Kate Lancaster knocked oh-so-softly on a closed door. An unseen

chorus of barks big and small boomed.

Lancaster was unfazed; it was plain that barking dogs were a regular and accepted part of the office’s aural landscape. If you think about it, dogs at Hollywood Feed make all the sense in the world.

“I guess he’s not in right now,” says Lancaster. “For some of the dogs that really like to, uh, announce themselves, people have to shut their doors, or, they’d bark at everything that walks by.”

In a baby-gated cubicle, Bree Fuller researches, buys, and promotes dog food for Hollywood Feed. On the floor behind her, Max, a Jack Russell mix, steps in his water bowl and bird-dog Lilley growls at Buffy, the tiny, poofy dog under Lan-

caster’s arm.

“I would hate leaving them at home,” Fuller says. “Also, it’s just nice that while you’re looking at your computer all day, you get to scratch your dog while you’re doing it.”

While it makes sense that Hollywood Feed is dog friendly, more and more offices are allowing and encouraging canine companionship.

Google’s code of conduct states the company’s, “affection for our canine friends is an integral facet of our corporate culture.” A 2015 survey for the Society for Human Resource Management found that 8 percent of respondents reported that their workplaces permitted

pets, an increase from 5 percent in 2013.

Last year, the U.S. Department of Interior celebrated its first “Take Your Dog to Work Day.” While hard numbers on dogs in Memphis offices don’t really exist, it’s easy to tell paws are padding into more workplaces here. Memphis ad agency Archer Malmo has long had a reputation for dog friendliness.

“I love to bring him because, as a dog mom, it’s nice to know he’s here with me and not sitting in a crate at home,” says Sarah Jones, an account coordinator.

“Other people bring their dogs and they’ll all play. It’s a good way to make friends in the office, too.”

Power to the punks

By Chris Davis

Sometimes things end. That doesn’t mean they have to stop.

“There used to be this festival every year, but the guy who used to produce it left town town,” says Brando Little, reducing the sturm and drang-filled last days of the Memphis Punk Rock Fest to a single, concise sentence.

To fill this void of grit, glitter, and squalling guitars, Little, aka Harry Manhole, the singer and guitar player for Memphis’ punk band The Gloryholes, concocted a plan. “I thought I’d try to bring in a bunch of queer bands from out of town,” he says. And so, from the ashes of the Memphis Punk Rock Festival, Queerfest, two-days and 14-bands worth of LGBTQ-infused punk was born.

“There is a vibrant, underground queer punk-rock scene,” Little says, noting an irony in the home of Sun Studio. “Other than some of us on the fringes, Memphis’ gay community doesn’t have many aspects of rock-and-roll.

“I wanted to bring that to Memphis,” Little says.

Local and out of town acts scheduled to play include Kansas City’s glam and metal-inspired Wick and the Tricks, Beg, Stay Fashionable, Wailing Banshees, Boyfriend, Tom Violence, Hormonal Imbalance, Sweaters Together, The Gloryholes, Spirit Cuntz, Exit Mouse, and Midtown Queer.

Loud guitars and snarling attitude won’t be the only thing on the menu. “We’ll also have comedy,” Little says.

Is Memphis Queerfest a one-off, or is it an annual event in the making? “I don’t know,” Little says. “I thought we’d bring in some bands, do this thing, and see how it goes.”

Art of the South

No. 5

By Chris Davis

When you’re a natural fan and prompter of regional artists, sometimes the big challenge of assembling a large juried show isn’t always deciding which artists are selected. It can be more about laboring over who has to be cut. There’s only so much room in a gallery, after all.

That was the struggle for Brian R. Jobe, the juror for Number: magazine’s fifth annual Art of the South exhibit. As the co-director of the state-wide not-for-profit Locate Arts, Jobe is regularly engaged in promoting contemporary art in Tennessee. “There’s excellent work being made here that stacks up with the best art being made elsewhere,” he says. Jobe describes the opportunity to choose work for this show as “an invitation to extend [the enthusiasm] to an even wider block of states.”

For this year’s exhibit, the magic number is 57. From 170 submissions from states across the Southeast and the District of Columbia, that’s how many artists Jobe finally selected. Most of the selected pieces hang on a wall, but the generous exhibit also includes a healthy collection of sculpture and three films.

“If there is a theme, it’s a willingness to explore any theme, any narrative, and any material in a way that feels tied into a global contemporary art dialogue,” Jobe says. “It’s exciting to see just how connected [Southern artists] are with the world.”

t’s no surprise cucumbers are considered a physiologically “cooling” food in the Aryurvedic medical philosophy of India, where the plant is thought to have first been cultivated. One sure-fire way to be cooled by a cucumber is to cool your cucumbers first. With all due respect to the quenching you can get from a warm cucumber in the middle of a hot, dry field, there isn’t a finer thing to do than stand in the sun and eat a crispy, juicy cucumber straight out of the fridge.

Pharmacological researchers have zeroed in on several chemical compounds found in cucumbers for their potential medical benefits. Many of these are found in cucumber seed extract, but interesting compounds have been isolated from the peels as well. And from the blossom end of the cucumber, also known as the bitter end, Cucurbitacin C has emerged as a molecule of interest.

It’s the very bitter flavor you sometimes taste at one end of the cucumber. The blossom end is a toxin created by the plant to ward off predators like spider mites.

Chemically, Cucurbitacin C is a steroid molecule (though it isn’t currently banned by any sports leagues, so it must not be much good in that department). Nobody has gotten sick from too many cucumbers, but there have been cases of toxicity resulting from bitter melon, a relative of cucumber, and from eating unintended hybrid cucumbers, zucchini, squash, melon, or other members of the same family.

Meanwhile, Cucurbitacin C is under investigation for potential pharmacological benefits and is showing promise in many arenas, including anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-atherosclerotic, and anti-inflammatory activity.

The cosmetics industry has latched onto several molecules in cucumber seeds, promoting their ability to hydrate, elasticize, and, you guessed it, cool and calm the skin.

Now is peak cucumber appreciation season at the farmers market. Last week I brought home five different varieties from three different vendors and let the comparisons begin. The highlight was the Chinese Cucumbers, sold to me by the Russian babushkas in an uncharacteristic show of diversity; usually they sell the same gherkin pickling cukes that all the other Russians sell. The Chinese Cucumbers have thin, spikey skins like pickling cukes, a sharp crisp, and explosive water content.

And don’t let the title “pickling” fool you when you want to eat a fresh cucumber. My wife (the vegetable whisperer)

prefers pickling cucumbers to slicing cucumbers, at least for raw use. For what it’s worth, I agree.

If pickles are on your agenda, however, you should stick to actual pickling cucumbers. I’ve never seen anybody pull off a decent pickle with slicers.

Another great cucumber is the Armenian, which is as delicious as it is enormous. And some of the plain-Janelooking normal slicing cucumbers these days can surprise you.

As for preparation, there are all kinds of lovely recipes for fresh cucumbers, but if your goal is to compare and contrast, munching them straight out of the fridge is the way to go. It’s also a very enjoyable and refreshing thing to do.

But if that’s too much chewing, I suggest putting your cukes in a high-speed blender with some ice cubes and whipping up some cucumber ambrosia.

Cucumber Ambrosia 2 medium cukes 4-8 cubes 1/4 lime 4 mint leaves Slice the blossom ends of both cucumbers.

If you can’t tell which end is which, slice them both off and nibble each end. Then you will know. If you want to remove any bitterness from the rest of the cucumber, then rub the cut face of the bitter end against the cut face of the cucumber. Rub in a circular pattern, which will extract a bitter, milky substance that you can wipe off. Cut the remaining cucumber sections into three or four pieces each and put them in the blender with the ice cubes and lime juice.

Blend, starting low until it’s a chunky slurry, then turn the blender up to high. If it’s too slushy for your taste, add water. If it’s too bitter, add sweetener, or fruit, and blend again.

Sipping on this milky, foamy treat is refreshing and satisfying on so many levels and is a delightful way to pass the afternoon, while loading up on vitamins and fiber. And, depending on the hour, these flavors go very well with gin. I can slip about half a shot into a glass of cucumber smoothie and barely taste a thing. And if I turn it up from there, the gin flavor creates a lovely cocktail.

Intoxication and toxicity are complex phenomena that are often dependent on the dosage. One can do worse than explore these realms with cucumber in hand, and mouth.

FOOD NEWS By Susan Ellis

Reboot Shaking things up at Grove Grill and Bounty on Broad.

C

hip Dunham’s given name is Jeffrey, just like his dad, Jeffrey Dunham, the chef/owner of Grove Grill. In fact, “Chip,” is short for, as it often is in these cases, “chip off the old block.”

One could make a pretty good argument that this is certainly the case for Chip, who was lured back to Memphis from Charleston about a year ago to take over the kitchen at Grove Grill.

Chip, who worked at such Charleston mainstays as Edmund’s Oast and the Glass Onion, recalls how he first got into the biz. Of course, it was through his dad. When he was a teenager, he needed a job. The obvious plan would be that he would work at the restaurant. Maybe as a busboy. But his dad told him that “cool people cook.”

Chip was smitten with the idea, mainly because SpongeBob SquarePants was a cook.

Chip went away to culinary school and then off to Charleston.

As he explains it, he and his dad talk every day. The senior Dunham was telling the junior Dunham about the restaurant’s new decor and how the place needed a new vibe, something to shake things up at the restaurant, which had recently marked its 20th year.

“I wasn’t sold on it,” admits Chip.

But the idea of a new challenge made sense to him.

It took him about six months to feel at home. He calls his dad’s style traditional, while he would describe his cooking as encompassing refined techniques in a sort of country brasseries style. He’s started to make his mark on the menu, with dishes such as the Grilled Peaches and Heirloom Tomatoes. As Chip notes, the menu already had a grilled peach salad, but the new one is a more imaginative take with whipped feta spread on the plate and locally grown micro-arugula.

Another Chiptastic dish is the House Made Charcuterie Board, where everything is made in-house — salami, duck liver mousse, country ham, etc.

One thing Chip would like to do in his new role is TNT the old concept of Grove Grill, maybe draw some younger folks.

“I think people forget about us,” he says. “We’ve been around so long.”

He feels that folks view it as stuffy and expensive, which is not the case, he says.

To combat that idea, Grove Grill recently started hosting an open house series called Third Thursdays. It features craft cocktails, local beers, and fine wines as well as a selection of seasonal small plates. The next Third Thursday is August 16th.

Chip is particularly proud of the bar, which is his wife Amanda’s domain.

For now, Chip says he’s “pretty content.”

He says, “I’m excited to see how it goes.”

Grove Grill, 4550 Poplar, 818-9951, thegrovegrill.com About eight months ago, Michael Tauer, a principal of Bounty on Broad, reached out to Mason Jambon. It seems that the ardor for the once white-hot restaurant, located in the Binghampton district, had cooled.

The first thing that Jambon suggested was that they ditch the gluten-free menu.

He laughs at the memory. He was told that was off the table. So, he had dinner.

“It was the best meal I’ve had here in Memphis,” he recalls.

Jambon’s approach was to double-down on the restaurant. Where others may have cut staff and expenses to make up for lost profits, Jambon insisted that they invest in them. They rehabbed the bar and stocked up on expensive wines. They redid the craft cocktail menu and started holding special dinners like After the Hunt,

which featured dishes of game meat.

Jambon flat-out calls Bounty chef Russell Casey an artist.

Casey took over after Bounty founder Jackson Kramer left town. In his wake, he found he had to contend with the cult of Jackson Kramer.

Whereas Kramer liked to challenge people, Casey was more approachable with his food. But, he dared not touch the dishes that made Bounty’s name. So while you’ll still find those famous Pommes Frites, you can also order Casey’s Eggplant Lasagne, white winepoached flounder, etouffee, and the Plum Sauce marinated Pork Tenderloin.

Russell Casey says he liked to Casey at “build things from the bottom Bounty on up.” He says he works with Broad Indian influences using French techniques.

Next up, they’re planning on converting the old butchery into a private dining space.

All this effort seems to be working. Sales are up.

“We were giving people what they want,” says Jambon.

Hard Water

Test-driving the new “seltzer with a kick.”

HUDSON MOORE July 26th

DREW PARKER August 2nd

m e m p h i s f l y e r. c o m

lightly flavored fizzy water. And they taste like it. Even saying, “seltzer with a kick” is wide of the mark, because this stuff has absolutely no kick. As we sampled, Mrs. M. was reminded of that Clearly Canadian water which was everywhere a few years ago.

The specs are simple: At 5 percent ABV, they have more alcohol than a light beer; they’re more in the neighborhood of a craft summer brew.

Both the White Claw and the Truly have only 100 calories per 12 ounce can. White Claw has a little more obvious flavor, but also has two grams of sugar to Truly’s one.

In the Pro column: They are perfect for the summer, light, refreshing, and they go down easy. In the Con column: They go down way too easy.

As I mentioned, the ABV is similar to light craft beer, so imagine drinking

12 of those. This is where you scoff and say “I won’t drink 12 of those things!”

Well, you say that, but try sitting through a Live at the Garden show while Boy George sweats his glitter off.

If I’d had known these things existed then, I’d have put away half a case without turning around.

I’m about to pack a daughter off to college, and I just gave her the “If it’s got booze in it and doesn’t taste like booze, don’t drink it” lecture.

With a spirit such as bourbon or gin, you know what you are getting into, because they have a kick. With hard seltzer you’re likely to forget that crucial fact — until you stand up and your equilibrium feels like it’s been synced to a Doors song.

My dad lecture aside, the hard seltzers really are great, light, and refreshing. At $1.69 a can, they won’t break the bank. We poured them over ice, and I picked some mint out of the yard and put it in the lime flavor, which worked beautifully.

Of course, the question remains: What, exactly, is it?

Go to the Truly website and you get a picture of two pretty ladies and the feeling that one of them just worked out. But no answers. The White Claw website has a product video that shows three outdoorsy sorts diving beneath a big wave. Then, I guess, they go back to the beach to get gassed.

Which is neat, but equally useless.

The website did say that White Claw employs a proprietary technique using yeast to turn sugars into alcohol.

Being formally trained as an historian, I don’t know how proprietary that is as that is literally the way all booze has been made since the dawn of drunken history.

How to drink it is an easier question. I did a quick poll of friends who’d tried it: Some mixed it with water, others drank it straight from the can. I even heard one person say they used it as cocktail mixer, which seems like a great way to make a weaponsgrade gin and soda.

I

had one of those fine summer head colds the other week, which caused me to drink enough La Croix sparkling water to float an Adams class destroyer. So, imagine my surprise when I learned of something called Hard Seltzer. Like La Croix but at 5 percent ABV, it must work wonders for an infection. Probably not too good for the liver, but the Ying and Yang are both part of life.

So down to Joe’s I went, where I understand the stuff is flying off the shelves, and in this blessed heat, I can see why. I picked out a White Claw Black Cherry and two flavors from Truly — lime and pomegranate.

How were they? The short answer is that they were all delicious.

After that, a review gets tricky for the simple reason that they are exactly what they say they are — alcoholic,

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

My Three Dads

Mama Mia! Here We Go Again is a thing that exists in the universe.

I

poke my head into my wife’s office and ask if she’s still interested in going to Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again with me. No, sorry.

She would, but she’s not as far along with her work as she thought she would be at this point. But it’s okay. I can go on without her.

It’s just an ABBA movie. 114 minutes of ABBA. I can do this.

I arrive at the theater and the pleasant girl behind the counter waves me in. They know me here. I arrive at my seat after the Chevy commercial, but before the trailers are done. Things are looking up!

What do I remember about the first one? Meryl Streep’s got a daughter who wants to know who her dad is. Turns out it could be Pierce Brosnan, the handsome rich architect; Colin Firth, the handsome rich banker; or Stellan Skarsgård, the handsome rich sailor. Everybody sings a bunch of ABBA songs and decides nobody cares because the real father was the friends we made along the way.

The film begins, and I’m reminded that Meryl Streep’s daughter Sophie is played by Amanda Seyfried, whom I believe is secretly a Mark II Emma Stone android. She immediately starts singing ABBA acapella. I take a deep breath and remind myself I’m

only here because I couldn’t stomach The Equalizer 2.

Sophie is sending out invites to a grand reopening of Hotel Bella Donna, and also her mom Donna is dead. Apparently we couldn’t afford Meryl for the 10-years-after sequel.

But what’s this? A flashback to 1979! Donna’s a Dancing Disco queen and also valedictorian. It takes me a minute to figure out the connection, because young Donna’s played by Lily James, who doesn’t in any way resemble Meryl. In lieu of a valedictorian speech, Donna sings “When I Kissed the Teacher,” which I have to admit is thematically appropriate.

Just so happens that I stumbled across a marathon of Leonard Bernstein’s Omnibus on Turner Classic Movies last night, and watched an episode where the great composer takes a deep dive into the history of American musical comedy. The form originated in the late 1860s when a theater troupe and a minstrel group were both stranded in a town with one theater, so they took turns performing scenes and songs. People ate it up.

The guy who wrote West Side Story would have despised this movie. Bernstein said the key to a good musical is that the songs must advance the

Marilyn

Here we go again — more ABBA, more Greece, and more singing in the sequel to Mamma Mia. plot and illuminate emotions, creating artistic unity.

In Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, things just kind of happen to provide excuses to sing listlessly.

These renditions are so flat and lifeless, they make the original versions sound raw and edgy. Even the subtitle, “Here We Go Again,” sounds drained of energy.

Everyone is very sad that Meryl is dead. I haven’t seen a production scramble to maintain its dignity after a losing its star since Charlton Heston played hardball with the producers of Beneath the Planet of the Apes. But they got the last laugh. He showed up at the end.

Did I mention the Hotel Bella Donna is on an island “at the far end of Greece”? That’s how Young Donna describes it as she sets out from Paris on her postgraduate transcontinental insemination spree.

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy father, by the way.

What’s weird is, in the ABBA universe, the Greek economic crisis of 2008 still happened. And Cher is there, but she looks like Lady Gaga, and is absolutely murdering “Fernando.” Then, just as the film goes full Beneath the Planet of the Apes, it hits me: Donald Trump is not president in the ABBA universe. That’s why everything seems so aggressively pleasant.

This Greek island seems nice. I want to go there.

The first guy she meets is Young Colin Firth (Hugh Skinner). You can tell he’s a punk because he shops at Hot Topic in 1979. The Busby Berkeley-inspired production number of “Waterloo” he and Allen perform with a horde of French waiters dressed as Napoleon is pretty much the high point of the picture. Then it’s on to the ocean, where Donna ends up with Young Stellan Skarsgård, (Josh Dylan), on board his yacht The Panty Dropper.

At least I think that’s what it’s called.

I dozed off for a while. Finally, she meets Young Pierce Brosnan (Jeremy Irvine), and they cohabitate in a rustic farmhouse. In the barn is a powerful black stallion that is in no way a sexual symbol that Donna must tame.

The blonde guy’s obviously the

THE LAST WORD by Randy Haspel

Pelosi Has to Go

THE LAST WORD

Dear Congressman Cohen, The Democrats are practically salivating over their chances to retake the House and possibly the Senate in November, especially since the treasonous antics of this aberration of a president in Finland with his handler, Vlad the Impaler. However, there are still some major obstacles. I believe that among the reasons that so many people sat out the last election rather than vote for Hillary was their reluctance to return Bill Clinton to the White House. Similarly, I sense that the same voters who mistrusted the Clintons, do not want to see the speaker’s gavel returned to Nancy Pelosi.

You know me, Congressman. I have no special insights or inside sources to assist me in formulating an opinion. I’m like a Will Rogers for the electronic age. All I know is what I see, hear, and read from multi-platforms and trusted sources, so when I say the Democrats have problems, that’s just my perception of things, backed up with a generous knowledge of history and politics. I believe that this will be a generational election, much like 1960, when the torch was passed to JFK. Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean said, “Nancy [Pelosi] is probably the greatest speaker since Tip O’Neill,” but, in the next breath, he said it was, “time for [his] generation to get the hell out of the way.” Pelosi has been in the party’s top spot for 15 years. That’s five years longer than Tip O’Neill. She has been a familiar face since she was elected to Congress in 1987, representing most of San Francisco. That was the same year Michael Jackson released “Bad” and the No. 1 movie was Dirty Dancing. As effective a leader as I believe Pelosi has been, I fear she has stayed too long at the ball.

We both know that a great deal of politics is perception. For instance, the Republicans are perceived as the Neo-Know Nothing Party, thoroughly corrupted and devoid of any social conscience, while the Democrats are perceived as either whimpering simps or simpering wimps who have allowed the word “liberal” to become a filthy epithet and have no true compass for the future of the nation. We also know that the Democrats could fuck up a mayonnaise sandwich and are entirely capable of doing it again.

People are clamoring for fresh voices and new leadership, but I only hear crickets from the Dems. The ages of the House Democratic leadership are respectively: Pelosi,78; Party Whip Steny Hoyer, 79; and Assistant Minority Leader Jim Clyburn, 78. I’m not sure if these are politicians or the cast of Cocoon.

During a brief discussion, you told me that Nancy Pelosi accomplished more in a day than others did in a month and that she had the energy of others “half her age.” Therein lies the problem. Representatives half her age should already be rising into positions of influence in the party. At least 20 current Democratic candidates have said they will not vote for Pelosi as speaker, causing the party leadership elections to be postponed until Thanksgiving. Matt Fuller of the Huffington Post wrote, “Pelosi was able to save face, delaying the elections herself instead of actually letting the group force her into moving the date.”

It’s not all about age. We know Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker in history, a champion of women’s rights, and perhaps the greatest fund-raiser in party history. She also blocked George Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security and helped shepherd Obamacare through Congress when others had given up. Conversely, after the Bush regime misled the American people about “weapons of mass destruction” and took the country into an unnecessary war, Pelosi said impeachment was “off the table.” Concerning Trump, Pelosi said that impeachment would be “a gift to the Republicans.” She concluded, “this is not the path [the Party] should go on.”

Don’t talk about impeachment? I want that lying, ill-tempered, conniving, money-laundering, puffed-up Putin punk not just impeached but arrested and jailed. Our democracy is burning. If there were ever a time to discuss impeachment, it’s now.

I don’t care if it motivates the Trump cultists, the Democrats’ job is to turn out more voters than they do. The Republicans are actively involved in their favorite activity; suppressing the vote.

Nancy Pelosi The right-wing perception of Nancy Pelosi is a blood-sucking San Fransisco liberal who wants to raise your taxes and give it all to MS-13 gang members and abortion clinics. The GOP spent $65 million on anti-Pelosi ads in 2010 and are gearing up to spend even more this time around. The Trumpsters need an enemy, and now that Hillary’s gone, Nancy Pelosi is the best they have. Republican ad men believe “her face on the screen stokes fear and anger.”

Since Nancy Pelosi took the gavel in 2007, Democrats have lost 39 House seats, yet she still claims impeachment is a “distraction.” Former CIA Chief John Brennan tweeted, “Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’ It was nothing short of treasonous.” The Need to Impeach campaign of billionaire Tom Steyer has accumulated over 5.4 million signatures, 60 percent of which are “registered voters who don’t vote.” Steyer said, “We believe fighting against a reckless and lawless president is not something that will turn off voters. I have immense respect for Nancy Pelosi. … I love her, but I disagree with her on this.”

One representative has said, “The time has come to make clear to the American people and to this president that his train of injuries to our Constitution must be brought to an end through impeachment.”

That was you, Congressman Cohen, and I respect and admire you for your courageous stance.

It is imperative that the Democrats succeed in washing the poison from the body politic in November. There are excellent chances this may happen but not while Pelosi’s amped-up, hysterical backbiters blame her for everything from the wildfires in California to trapping a Thai soccer team in an underwater cave. We should honor Nancy Pelosi’s long and brilliant service as party leader, but as near-President Al Gore once famously said, “It’s time for them to go.”

Respectfully, your loyal Tennessee District 9 constituent.

The Democratic leader in the House has become a liability for her party’s 2018 electoral chances.
