OUR 1390TH ISSUE 10.15.2015 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR So, Memphis has a new mayor-elect. While many people were surprised at last week’s election results, those with access to various local political insiders were not. Polling numbers had been bandied about sotto voce for weeks, numbers that suggested Jim Strickland had a substantial lead over two-term incumbent A C Wharton. But none of the polling numbers I heard suggested a result in which Strickland would basically double Wharton’s percentage of the total vote.

The easy analysis was that Strickland got the white vote while the three AfricanAmerican candidates split the black vote. And while it’s true that Strickland’s 42 percent represented only a plurality of the electorate, I think when our crack (ahem) Election Commission finally comes up with the precinct and ward breakdowns, we’ll learn that the results were not so black and white.

Fourth-place finisher Mike Williams, for example, had substantial white support among his constituency, which included the Save the Mid-South Coliseum crowd, Memphis Animal Services activists, the Memphis Police Department, and the anti-pension-cut true believers.

Wharton, too, had white support, especially in Midtown progressive circles and among the business community that financed his campaign. And Strickland’s camp is claiming that the numbers will show that their candidate had a decent slice of the black vote. We shall see, sooner or later. Probably later.

There will be at least six new faces on the Memphis City Council, including a couple of young, white newcomers who were heavily funded by family and business interests. Midtown’s District 5, for example, home to the city’s most liberal populace, will be represented (after a runoff election) by one of two Republicans: Worth Morgan, a poor lad from the wrong side of the tracks, or Dan Springer, who was backed by county Mayor Mark Luttrell, who announced last week that he would manage the local campaign for presidential candidate and professional Christianist sleazeball Mike Huckabee. Ugh. What happened was that the three progressive candidates in District 5 (Chooch Pickard, Mary Wilder, and John Marek) split the liberal vote, opening the door for Morgan and Springer (both of whom are probably decent fellows, truth be told). But to say they represent progressive interests is probably a stretch.

I was saddened by the cheap shots that former Mayor Willie Herenton took at Wharton after the election. Wharton is a consummate gentleman, full of grace and humor. His concession speech, which I witnessed, was big-hearted and generous. He handled defeat like a winner. He represented the city with class, and we were lucky to have him, especially after enduring Herenton’s tumultuous N E WS & O P I N I O N final years in office. Wharton should leave LETTERS - 4 with his head held high. He has a lot to be THE TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE - 4 proud of.

POLITICS - 10 And I credit Strickland with an equally EDITORIAL - 14 VIEWPOINT - 15 gracious victory speech. A smooth transiCOVER STORY tion benefits all of us. My hat is off to both “WOLF TRACKS” men for the way the campaign ended.

BY BIANCA PHILLIPS - 16 Change is inevitable in politics, and STE P P I N’ O UT change has happened in Memphis. I have WE RECOMMEND - 20 confidence that the city is still on the MUSIC - 22 upswing, and I’m hoping Mr. Strickland AFTER DARK - 24 THEATER - 28 can keep the best initiatives of our outgoing CALENDAR OF EVENTS - 30 mayor in place and still make the kind of FOOD - 38 changes that will fulfill his campaign pledge FILM - 40 to more effectively fight crime and blight.

I can’t see mass acceptance of 500-sq.-ft. houses, but I do think downsizing is a very real trend. I suspect people have had their fill of bloated mortgage payments for 3,000-plus-sq.-ft. homes in the burbs.

Then again, oversized houses are now being built in Rossville, so who knows.

I suspect that somewhere between the “Matt Barnes is a shameful excuse of a man” take and the “no-talent media hacks are searching for a story that isn’t there” take lies the truth of this matter.

But even then, who gives a crap? This is TMZ territory, a side-boob distraction at 5Huffington Post, 6 a Twitter 7 8 9 10 spat between Kim Kardashian’s rump and Donald Trump’s hair.15 In fact, the comedy-drama of this incident echoes one of the episodes of Ballers, 18 a not-good HBO show about current and former NFL players. It’s titillating gossip, nothing more.

21 Unless the NBA punishes Barnes, should fans of his team care what he does 25 off the court? There are plenty of24 assholes in the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc., some with rings, some who own teams. Shaming 29 and policing athletes’ behavior can be fun (as long as one a safe distance when 31is at32 33 doing it), but it has little effect so long as the athletes in question are producing on 38 39 the court, field, diamond, etc. iggy

WTF WREG I think we need to create a fun new internet game. First, we invent a bunch of wacko conspiracy theories (like illicit drugs being slipped into our prescription medicines or satanic brake lights leading to mild cases of bus-driver possession) and then we post them on Facebook to see if any of these silly fantasies are eventually passed along as news by local TV stations. The more ridiculous, the better.

If WREG will run a story like this one, it’s hard to imagine what they won’t report.

According to WREG: “Just three weeks from Halloween, and already, many of you are spooked by a post you saw on Facebook. It asked parents to beware of criminals sneaking drugs disguised as candy into your children’s trick-or-treat basket. The post has been shared hundreds of thousands of times across the country. ‘I really truly believe somebody would do that,’ said Memphis mother of three, Porsha Tate, who saw the post the other day.”

6

Even imagined as some kind of weird retail promotion for drug dealers, ecstasy can sell for $20 (or more) a pill. That’s quite an investment in Halloween treats. It’s possible that a bunch of young candy-beggars might enjoy the free samples and want to spend their allowance on more trippy stuff, but mom and dad still have to drive them for a fix. A police raid seems more likely.

Besides, anybody who knows their MDMA knows there have always been whimsically stamped variations to bring out the inner child in even the most buttoned-up rave kid.

There is a long history of Halloween-related media scares and hoaxes ranging from poisoning to sharp objects in apples and other unwrapped items. This seems to be the latest iteration of the same urban myth.

CITY REPORTER

By Alexandra Pusateri

MATA has partnered with TransLoc to bring real-time tracking to bus riders. first choice of users, rather than a “last resort.”

To TransLoc, perception is part of the problem. Waiting for the bus can feel almost 50 percent longer than reality, according to a University of Washington study that focused on transit waiting times. In the study, the commuters who used an app called OneBusAway, which tracks transit systems in real-time, did not have that issue.

“The more people who are riding transit, the better our communities are,” Cohen said. “More people are getting around cities and communities more effectively and cost-effectively. [The app] helps on a micro level — people don’t have to stand out in the rain waiting for the bus — and the macro level, so that the more people who use transit, the

Locating a city bus is about to be as easy as requesting an Uber or Lyft car.

The Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) is launching a smartphone app that will bring realtime bus data to customers.

North Carolina-based TransLoc has developed an app called RealTime that shows buses as they move along routes and displays the arrival times for those buses. The app is already being used in other cities like Gainesville, Florida, and San Jose, California.

Locally, the University of Memphis has been using TransLoc to track its shuttle service for students, and that partnership helped open the door to MATA. Josh Cohen, director of strategy and partnerships at TransLoc, said the company is focused on expanding public transit to be the

Russell Young, River City Pedalers

On the River City Pedalers party bike, tourists and locals work off calories while drinking calories. The mobile bar allows up to 14 people to drink and pedal through the streets of downtown.

That’s why the River City Pedalers were contacted for a spotlight on the reality show Fluff y Breaks Even, featuring comedian Gabriel Iglesias, known to his fans as Fluffy.

On the show, Iglesias and his crew visit cities across the U.S., sampling the native cuisine and then attempting to burn off the calories in “larger-than-life physical challenges,” according to the Fuse TV website.

The Memphis episode of Fluff y Breaks Even airs Thursday, October 15th at 9 p.m. on Fuse.

River City Pedalers is operated by the husband-andwife team of Russell and Carolyn Young. They operate the bike year-round and book tours at rivercitypedalers.com.

— Alexandra Pusateri

Flyer: How has business been going since you launched in January?

Russell Young: It’s going great! Our weekends are pretty well-booked. We’re hoping that the show will help us a bit more. It’s a good mix [of tourists and locals]. Our public tours, which is where we try to mix people who don’t have 10 [people], has really picked up a lot.

less traffic we all face.”

Chooch Pickard, who sits on the MATA Board of Commissioners, said the app will make Memphis more competitive with other cities in terms of public transportation. Increasing ridership is also a potential benefit for MATA. He said the organization has run into issues attracting Memphians who choose, rather than need, to ride the bus system.

“I think it’ll definitely increase ridership,” Pickard said. “In order to provide the best service for the city for everyone, we need to increase ridership from everyone. A lot of people who have other options that are not transit-dependent will be more likely to use MATA if they have a tool like this.”

According to Pickard, it’s millennials and baby boomers, both of which make up the largest populations in the United States, who need to become part of the focus as the organization expands.

“If we want to be “Right now, funding for MATA from the city and use of MATA progressive, keep up with is really focused on transitother cities, and be able dependent customers,” Pickard said. “If we want to be progressive, to attract millennials keep up with other cities, and to Memphis, we have to be able to attract millennials to have a first-class Memphis, we have to have a firstclass transit system.” transit system.”

According to the American — Chooch Pickard Public Transportation Association’s study of 1,000 millennials on transit usage, real-time updates were the second-most wanted feature of public transit, at 55 percent (The most-wanted feature was “more reliable systems,” at 61 percent.).

Pickard said he initially proposed a MATA app five years ago but met resistance from the previous administration. MATA Traveler, the textmessage service that was designed to let riders know up-to-the-minute bus arrival times, wasn’t “user-friendly enough,” he said.

“We need to be creating a transit system that takes care of everybody’s needs, from young to old, transit-dependent to those who choose to ride the bus,” Pickard said.

How was the experience?

The producers didn’t want the streets just completely crowded; they wouldn’t be able to film — just a normal day, not everyone trying to crowd him for autographs. We had to keep our mouths shut.

There was something they were trying to do, and I don’t know if they included it on the show, but we were pedaling down Front Street after eating at Gus’s Fried Chicken. All of a sudden, we see a long-haired girl walking. On the show, Martin Moreno is the girl-chaser. So, we get right up by her, and he’s hollering something flirty, and then all of a sudden, the guy turns around with a big beard. He yelled, “Ah! Sorry about that!”

How did the show’s producers find you?

[The show] all started with him being on the road doing his tours and gaining an ungodly amount of weight. He was 400-and-something pounds.

He had to do something about it, so he started working out. He lost 100 pounds and has even dropped more. So, evidently, some producers decided this would make a good reality show.

The fans pick the city, and they find some famous eating places, go eat there, and then figure out some way to work out and lose calories. The “The producers didn’t fans said, “Come to Memphis, we’ve want the streets just got some famous places: Gus’s Fried Chicken, the Flying Fish, Central completely crowded ...

Shootings, a major Midtown project, and a new Commercial Appeal owner.

Thursday, Oct. 8th Gannett Could Buy The Commercial Appeal Parent Company Gannett Co., the largest newspaper company in the U.S., has agreed to buy Journal Media Group, the owner of The Commercial Appeal, for about $280 million.

The move apparently took the Appeal by surprise as its earliest reporting of the merger last week was attributed to a story from The Wall Street Journal.

Tuesday, Oct. 6th Autopsy: MPD Officer Shot Eight Times Memphis Police Officer Sean Bolton was shot eight times on August 1st after conducting a traffic stop near Cottonwood and Perkins, according to an autopsy report released by the Shelby County Medical Examiner on Tuesday.

Tremaine Wilbourn, 29, has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of Bolton, who was 33.

Wilbourn was a passenger in a car that was stopped on the side of the road when Bolton pulled over to check on the car. Police believe Bolton may have interrupted a drug transaction.

A struggle ensued between Bolton and Wilbourn, and Bolton was shot multiple times. Police searched the vehicle Wilbourn was riding in later and found almost two grams of pot.

The Market would have 188 apartments, about 10,500 feet of commercial space for smaller tenants, and about 30,500 square feet for an “anchor retail tenant.” The company says they are recruiting a “national gourmet grocery store.”

Monday, Oct. 12th Another MPD Officer Shot, Killed Terence Oldridge, a Memphis Police Department officer from the Airways precinct, was shot and killed outside his home in Cordova on Sunday.

Oldridge, who was off-duty but scheduled to work later in the day, may have been attempting to break up a domestic disturbance between his neighbors when he was shot multiple times. The MPD hadn’t released details of the shooting as of press time.

Olridge was rushed to Regional One Health, but died at the hospital. Police arrested Lorenzo Clark, but, at press time, he was only charged with being a felon in posession of a handgun.

Tuesday, Oct. 6th ‘Midtown Market’ Could Transform Midtown Corner A developer wants to demolish the buildings around the southwest corner of Union and McLean to make way for a $43.5 million, four-story building with apartments, commercial space, and an anchor retail tenant that could be a “gourmet grocery store.”

Belz Enterprises got a $10.5 million, 15-year paymentin-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) deal for the project, which the company calls “Midtown Market.”

POLITICS By Jackson Baker

What Strickland Will Do To the surprise of many observers, Councilman Jim Strickland, an acknowledged underdog when he declared as a candidate for mayor last January, won election last week with a 20-point edge on incumbent Mayor A C Wharton.

At 42 percent, Strickland’s share of a larger-than-expected dissenting vote was clearly the predominating one when compared to those of Councilman Harold Collins (18 percent) and Memphis Police Association president Mike Williams (16 percent).

So does the mayor-elect regard himself as having a mandate?

“Yes, to implement my platform” a relaxed Strickland agreed in the course of an interview in his law office on Monday.

Strickland will take office, along with a newly elected city council, on January 1st. In the meantime, his first task, to be completed this week, is the naming of a transition committee. There will be “two or three” co-chairs of that committee, he said, and they will assist him in naming a staff to help run the city.

As for that aforesaid platform, it was made clear during the campaign, within the winner’s incessantly reiterated triad of bullet points. In every speech, public statement,

Jim Strickland interview, and ad, Strickland essentially limited himself to promises of remedial action on public safety, blight, and accountability of public officials.

Wharton pitched to millennials and talked up bike lanes and futurist blueprints. Collins advocated a crash program on behalf of high-tech jobs. Even Williams evolved rapidly from his original incarnation as a oneissue candidate (restoration of lost employee benefits) and proposed strategies involving solar panels and transportation reform.

With the regularity of a metronome, Strickland stuck

to his triad of safety, blight, and accountability. These are all valid problem areas — or would seem to have been so regarded by the voters, but they are all arguably managerial, even housekeeping, matters.

Strickland thinks otherwise. “I disagree with people who say all that’s not a vision,” he said on Monday. “You have to have an effectively run city government. To create a community that’s more inviting to people and businesses is so meat-and-potatoes that some people don’t consider it a vision. I just disagree. I think it is a vision.

When you’re one of the most violent cities in America, number one in unemployment, with a poverty rate of 30 percent, doing the basics is important. If city government were a football team, you’d say it doesn’t block and tackle very well.”

And there was one important component of his legislative persona that Strickland left unsaid during his campaign — his longstanding history as a budget-cutter and apostle of fiscal austerity, as the councilman who in 2010 generated this headline: “Strickland Proposes City Employee Pay Cut.” These were inconvenient matters to remind voters of at a time of palpable public resentment of benefit cuts and reduced core services. To be fair, Strickland later continued on page 12

rethought the pay-cut idea, but — unlike Collins, who seems to have split that part of his core protest vote with Williams — he signed on to most of the other economies that Wharton would ultimately embrace (and pay the political price).

There is a reason why Strickland, who some 20 years ago served a term as Shelby County Democratic chairman, had virtually wall-to-wall support this year from the city’s Republican voters and other conservatives and why GOP rankand-filers from the county’s suburban municipalities were always to be found at his fund-raisers and rallies.

To those who might wonder, however, Strickland still considers himself a Democrat — “I’ve always voted in Democratic primaries. I never have voted in a Republican primary” — though he says he is unlikely to be running for any future office as a party nominee of any kind. His ambitions, he contends, are limited. “This is it,” he says of the office he has just won.

“Those who thought crime was not an issue lost.”

Apparently, safety-blight-accountability was a sufficiently nonpartisan platform to work with voters across the board, and the first two points of that triad had figured large in polls commissioned by chief Strickland strategist Steven Reid, resonating strongly even — or perhaps even especially — with inner-city blacks, whose encounters with violence and environmental squalor have been longstanding.

(To give David Upton his due, that veteran Democratic operative — neutral in this campaign — has always maintained that concern over the crime rate has been more significant and politically charged in the inner city than elsewhere.)

Though only a handful of African Americans had been among the white throng at Strickland’s Poplar Plaza headquarters opening in July, and an early Commercial Appeal poll had the District 5 councilman in single digits with blacks, Strickland was, in the late stages of the race, doing significant under-the-radar outreach, and he was privately claiming to have as much as 20 percent of the black vote. (It will be interesting to see how closely a demographic accounting of the final vote totals will come to bearing that out.)

And, to be sure, Strickland did espouse some new wrinkles, mostly incremental in nature. He suggested using private funds to help reformed felons pay for expunging their records, liaising with Boys Clubs and Girls Clubs, and offering financial incentives — residential PILOTs, he called them — in the form of tax breaks for

people to buy a home in the inner city, rehab it, and live in it.

“Another thing is that it can take a city or county three or four years to foreclose on a piece of property with a tax debt.

That’s too long,” Strickland contended.

“We need a shorter time than that.” The legislature has to be talked into making both of those ideas possible.

“Then I’d like to expand a program I created enabling citizens to serve as reserve code-enforcement officers.

That’s not being implemented very enthusiastically at present. I’d also like to talk with county government about better cooperation on simplifying code enforcement. We’ve got a city fire code, a city residential code, and a county commercial code. Maybe we could consolidate them.”

Strickland sees law enforcement as his most pressing matter, as well as the key part of what he sees as his vision.

“Last November, we did a poll to see if Mayor Wharton could be beaten. And we polled the issues that were near and dear to my heart, including crime. We found that being tough on crime was a popular stand, to both races. Harold Collins was as tough on crime as I was. He used the term ‘terrorism.’ There’s a small minority in Memphis who don’t think crime is an issue, and they lost.

“We lost a little less than 400 people.

In 2014, the Wharton administration told me we lost 158 police officers. We normally lose 100 a year in natural attrition. We lost 58 more than normal, which is concerning, but it’s not 400.

“But, aside from quibbling about numbers, we do have a serious problem hiring and retaining police officers. I propose a series of steps. Number one, we’re going to be honest and open with the unions. We’ll open up the books and let them look at them. The Wharton team has told us for a year and a half that we could not afford the lifetime health insurance. The employees have a suspicion that money is there for lifetime health insurance and has been used elsewhere.

The only way to counter that argument is to open up the books and let everyone see what we can afford and what we can’t afford. I want to learn the answer myself.

“Two, we need to do a better job of recruiting new police officers. When I got on the council eight years ago, one of the first things we did was try to hire more police officers. We went then from 2,100 to 2,400 police officers by changing the area in which they could live — Memphis to Shelby County — and we went through a big recruiting period, with TV ads.

“We’ve got to come up with funds in the city budget to increase the pay of police officers.”

Strickland reserves the right to impose rigid curfews on youth in cases of flashmob flare-ups like the violent outbreaks

As he sets about naming a staff (which he promises will be “impressive and diverse”), Strickland says he will employ the same “less is more” philosophy that he employed in picking a campaign staff.

“We had lots of volunteers, but we had just two paid staffers, Kim Perry and Melissa Wray,” he said. He also had the services of campaign consultant Reid, to whom he gives significant credit in planning a strategy that led to victory.

As noted above, the one major fact of his council experience that came in for minimal expression during that campaign was Strickland’s reputation as a budgetcutter and advocate of economic austerity.

“I think people already knew that about me,” Strickland says by way of explaining his downplaying of the issue. “As a whole, people cared about the other issues more.

gracious and forthcoming in the conversations I’ve had with them.”

Strickland made clear he intends to take seriously the third point in his triad of campaign issues — that of employee accountability. Were there already checkpoints to measure performance in office?

Strickland was asked.

“I would argue they are spotty,” he said.

“I’ll be meeting with Doug McGowen, who runs the Mayor’s Innovation Delivery Team, to go over what work he’s already created. We ought to have measurements on how long it takes to process 911 calls, for example, and we should hold people accountable to a definite set of standards.”

(Two 10 oz. Cans)

There are more details to be worked through but, consistent with the bare bones of Strickland’s campaign appeal, the syllabary of the new mayor’s agenda will be a lean one, limited by the relative scarcity of available resources and focused on a few carefully chosen target areas.

The real change is the fact of Strickland himself, a bluff, hearty, good-natured but competent and calculating man whose mayoral ambitions had been of long standing but whose pathway to power and margin of victory both remain something of an astonishment — with the latter fact allowing him whatever mandate he can make of the means at hand.

“We will restructure government.”

I think you’ll see more serious cuts, by the way. We’ll have fewer employees, especially in upper management.” Having often decried what he described as over-billeting and cronyism in Wharton’s administration, Strickland will do some judicious pruning and consolidation of the city roles.

“We will restructure government,” he promises.

Holdovers? There could be some, he acknowledged. Gone from his conversation on Monday was the sharp polemics of his mayoral campaign.

He paid tribute to outgoing Mayor Wharton and the incumbent’s CAO, Jack Sammons. “They’ve both been very

that plagued the city in late 2014. “[Former Councilman] Rickey Peete passed a curfew law 10 or 15 years ago, but it’s not enforced. It’s a stair-step program, pegged to age. If you’re 14 years old, you need to be home at 10 o’clock.”

Reinstituting a full-fledged program of civilian reserve (PST) officers to handle traffic investigations and other nonviolent matters is another step Strickland intends to take. “That’s an additional expense, but it gives you more police officers on the street. And I want to bring the animal control officers from the city shelter into the police department, for two reasons: One, I think you get better oversight from the police department than the shelter; and two, I think you’d get more efficiency, because, right now, a wild dog call can go to either the police department or the shelter. Put them under one roof, and there’s more efficiency, and you can send out animal control officers, which frankly are less expensive, and the police officers can patrol the streets.

“We need a new director of Animal Services, by the way. I want to hire one of these national, certified animal-advocate groups to come in and do an evaluation of the shelter and also help us hire a director.”

There is the matter, too, of who will serve as police director. During the campaign, the three other major mayoral candidates — Wharton, Collins, and Williams — all indicated they would continue the employment of Toney Armstrong, who has a year to go before exiting the department via the earlyretirement (or “drop”) program. Strickland was the only candidate who avoided committing himself.

“I think Toney’s a good man,” Strickland said. “It’s too early to say what I’ll do. That’s one of the things I want to talk to him about. If I wanted to go outside the city and recruit a police director, would that person want a full four years to institute their program? Or would three years be acceptable? And I think Director Armstrong would know that.”

E D ITO R IAL

A Matter of Law Not unexpectedly, a bid by the Shelby County Commission to hire Julian Bolton, a former commissioner, as the commission’s independent attorney has been turned back by the existing county attorney, Ross Dyer.

Dyer cited the county charter in ruling basically that the new attorney — any new attorney — would have to be agreeable to him and would have to be a member of his staff. It is as if King George III determined that the 13 American colonies could function “independently,” so long as their actions were subject to approval by the House of Lords.

Those members of the commission who arrived at Monday’s meeting in a giddy state of expectation were understandably dismayed and predictably backed away from the substitute resolution that Dyer’s s staff had prepared.

Not to be foiled, the irrepressible commission chair, Terry Roland, immediately hired Bolton as a special attorney to figure out how to get around Dyer’s ruling. An odd quirk in the charter apparently allows for such ad hoc — and temporary — outsourcings.

At press time, Dyer had not responded, though he could conceivably claim to have the option of hiring Bolton himself to counter whatever move Bolton makes on behalf of the commission.

And we halfway expect to hear from somebody involved in this curious caper some variation of the ubiquitous Donald Trump punchline: “Julian, you’re fired.”

But let’s be serious. The background of this seemingly outlandish matter is a conviction on the part of a commission majority (transcending matters of race or party) that the administration of County Mayor Mark Luttrell has not played fair and square with

commissioners on matters of county spending, and on the contrary has usurped the commission’s authority to approve a budget by issuing incomplete and/or misleading reports on the county’s fiscal situation, and by attempting to play commissioners off against each other by dangling now-you-seem-them-now-you-don’t “surplus” funds.

What the commission majority wants is the same wherewithal possessed by the Memphis City Council, which back in the 1990s was able successfully to engage its own permanent full-time attorney, Allan Wade, who continues in that role and is responsible to the council and only to the council. It is this capability that County Attorney Dyer, who insists he represents all county officials, administrative and legislative, maintains is denied the commission by the County Charter.

The issue of an independent attorney is by no means the only matter dividing the commission from the Luttrell administration, but it has become the lynchpin of a generalized rebellion in which the commission intends to assert itself not merely as the administration’s equal but also as its superior in matters of governmental oversight.

What has become a full-blown power struggle has come to rest on a legalistic point involving attorneys and may well end up being contested by adversary sets of attorneys and finally decided in a court of law. We know that we should be comforted by this fact, but for reasons we can’t fully explain, it is making us uneasy.

Advice for Mayor-elect Strickland.

Congratulations on your victory, Mr. Strickland. As mayor of Memphis, it will be your job to run a city that has many problems. Unfortunately, there is a finite supply of money available to accomplish that goal. If you are to be successful, many of the unnecessary costs of running our city must be cut in order to free up the money needed to do the necessary work.

Mayor Willie Herenton built a huge and unwieldy bureaucracy in order to provide jobs for his cronies. Your predecessor, A C Wharton, did nothing to change that. Simply failing to fill existing jobs is not policy; it is a lack of policy. Announcing a policy and doing nothing to implement it doesn’t accomplish anything.

I lived a good portion of my life under the commission form of government here in Memphis. There is little good that can be said for it.

However, instead of the more than 100 departments that Mayor Herenton managed to come up with, the Memphis city commission had only six.

The mayor under the city commission (who wasn’t a mayor in anything except name) ran the administrative department. One commissioner was in charge of both the fire department and the police department. Another commissioner ran the department of public works, and still another ran the department of public service. There was another whose job I don’t recall, but the point is that we had six departments instead of more than 100. Furthermore, one man ran two of those six departments.

Today, we have departments that are not even within the purview of city government. The job created for Herenton’s disgraced female bodyguard is a case in point. The office responsible for finding employment for convicted felons should be a minor one in the state employment office. It should not be a city department with a huge salary.

We have other departments that we can get along without and still others that we can’t afford to fund. There are many, many departments that need to be consolidated into major departments and relegated to a minor status within those departments.

Each department that you do away with, either by eliminating it completely or by consolidating it into a larger department, will save money — money that is presently used to pay an exorbitant salary to department heads and assistant department heads.

Money can also be saved by eliminating the costs of office space and other incidentals in situations where departments are eliminated or reduced in size. Eliminating automobiles for the department heads and insurance and the salaries for the lower-ranking employees of those departments that are eliminated will add to that costsavings total.

Finally, the salaries currently paid to high-ranking city employees are not necessary to get top-notch people to fill those offices. Good managers galore have lost their jobs in private industry and will furnish all the qualified help needed to run the city government.

They will take a city job at a more modest salary as an alternative to no job at all or one that is beneath their skill levels. Hire some of those people.

Four years ago, Mayor Wharton made a big announcement about taking a hard look at city government departments and staffing, but it simply didn’t happen.

While Mayor Herenton was creating all of those unnecessary departments, he was also giving huge salaries to people to do jobs they couldn’t do well.

He and his cronies were like a bunch of hogs feeding at the public trough.

Four years ago, Mayor Wharton made a big announcement about taking a hard look at city government departments and staffing, but it simply didn’t happen.

I hope that four years from now, I won’t be saying the same thing about your administration. Cutting down the size of city government and reorganizing it into fewer departments will make it more efficient and easier to control.You have a chance to make some tremendous changes for the better in our city government. Please, seize the initiative, and do it now.

Good luck in the fight to trim the costs of city government. All of your supporters will be looking to you for action. Please, don’t let us down.

Keith Cole and Bob Wenner (l to r) of the Wolf River Conservancy

T

he Huntington Hills apartment complex in Raleigh looks like any other slightly distressed complex in the city’s inventory of aging, blighted apartment communities. Some of the multi-family buildings in the gated complex are occupied, with bright red flowers sprouting around the walkways and 16 cars parked out front. But other buildings on the site are boarded-up, mini-ghost

towns without a single car parked outside.

Out of the back windows of one of the boarded two-story buildings, residents (if the building had any) would have sweeping views of the serene Wolf River, surrounded by thick patches of woods.

In a few years, those residents would have back-door access to the future Wolf River Greenway (WRG), a 36mile walking and cycling trail that will

follow the path of the Wolf River from Collierville to Mud Island. The Wolf River Conservancy (WRC) broke ground on a 20-mile Memphis stretch of the trail in late September, and they plan to have the entire path constructed by 2019.

Deborah Newlin, a Sabal Financial Group asset manager, represents the California-based bank that owns Huntington Hills, which is only 51 percent occupied and went into foreclosure earlier this year. They’re starting renovations on the units' interior now, and the exterior will be revitalized in 2016. Thanks to the greenway plans, Newlin sees potential for the property and the surrounding Raleigh community.

“Asthetically, [the greenway] will add beautification, and it will add a better sense that this is a safe place to come to,” Newlin said.

Huntington Hills is just one stop on the WRG, which will be the only continuous trail leading from one end of the county to the other. Since the greenway will follow the path of the Wolf, much of it will run through uninhabited areas — wetlands, thick woods, and other natural gems hiding in the city’s urban core. Other portions will traverse impoverished communities, providing a new transportation route for low-income residents without cars. And it will provide connections to the Shelby Farms Greenline and other bike lanes.

The Greenway Today “We believe we’re building a corridor of

opportunity,” said Keith Cole, executive director of the WRC. “It’s more than just a 12-foot-wide paved hiking and biking path. As we go through these diverse neighborhoods — downtown, Midtown, Raleigh, Frayser, East Memphis — we can just imagine increasing the connectivity of those neighborhoods.”

The 20-mile or so city stretch of paved path will add a western connection to the existing 2.6-mile stretch of the WRG, which runs from Walnut Grove to Shady Grove along the southern bank of the Wolf and was completed in 2010. In 2012, it was extended eastward to connect with the Germantown Greenway running adjacent to Humphreys Boulevard.

Although the Germantown Greenway is maintained by the city of Germantown, it follows the path of the Wolf, and the WRC considers it part of their continuous WRG system. Germantown is currently planning to extend its greenway 2.5 more miles to Cameron Brown Park, making it only a mile away from a connection with a planned segment in Collierville.

Between April 13th, 2014 and April 13th of this year, the city counted more than 187,000 cyclists and pedestrians on the WRG. “Our counts grew by 100 percent when we connected the greenway with Germantown,” Wenner said. “So what happens when we connect with the Shelby Farms Greenline or with bike lanes in other parts of the city? The potential is there for it to come to a million users a year on the

an overgrown natural area with wooded areas and a lake. The trail moves southwest and connects with Rodney Baber Park, an underused 77-acre city park with seven softball fields and one baseball diamond.

“In the ’70s and ’80s, [Rodney Baber] was a really busy place. A lot of people played softball there,” said Mike Flowers, administrator of planning and development for the city’s Division of Parks and Neighborhoods. “But into the ’90s, the park started experiencing a lot of car breakins at night. Play dwindled to the point that it’s not really used now.”

The May 2011 flood destroyed the sports lighting, concession buildings, and restrooms at Rodney Baber; they were under five to seven feet of water. Flowers said the city is seeking grant funds from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Disaster Resilience Competition to make those repairs.

West of Rodney Baber, the greenway moves through North Memphis, adding a connection to the Chelsea Greenline, and then over to the northern tip of downtown.

The WRC controls 80 acres of land on the north end of Mud Island, and they’re proposing a new park at the greenway’s end at the Mississippi River.

“There’s all this land and incredible views of the Mississippi River, so we thought ‘Why don’t we call it something besides Mud Island?’ It’s the confluence of the Wolf and Mississippi Rivers, and we kind of like the name Confluence Park,” said Bob Wenner, WRC greenway coordinator. “It’s one of those Kodak spots.

It’s a great place to watch the ships come up and down the Mississippi.”

The WRG has a price tag of about $40 million. So far private foundations have committed $22 million, including a $5 million challenge grant from Hyde Family Foundations.

“One of our big priorities is connecting people through green assets, streetscapes,

Kennedy Park is where the WRC held its late September groundbreaking event.

“Kennedy Park is a beautiful park.

It’s one of the largest in the city, and it represents the heart of this project,” Cole told those gathered in the park that morning.

From there, the greenway will follow the path of the river to Epping Way, a 66-acre abandoned Raleigh country club that’s now

The Master Plan The proposed WRG will begin at the head of the existing greenway near Walnut Grove. From there, it will run northwest along the border of Shelby Farms Park and continue northwest to Kennedy Park, a 260-acre city park in Raleigh with nine baseball fields and two soccer fields.

and transit,” said Lauren Taylor, the program director for Livable Communities at the Hyde Family Foundation. “I think this is so exciting, the sheer fact that it’s going through so many different neighborhoods from downtown to Frayser to Raleigh to Shelby Farms Park. There are so many sections that will be close to schools and churches.”

Some funding will come from the city, which has already committed $7.5 million over the next five years. The WRC has acquired another $1.6 million from the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

They’ve raised $568,000 in individual donations. Cole said the WRC will go public with a capital fund-raising campaign in mid-2016 when they “start turning dirt.”

Epping Way Just up James Road from Huntington Hills, tucked away on a dead-end road between two large apartment complexes, are two crumbling pillars flanking a padlocked gate. Once you step over the low gate, you’re led into a massive natural area.

There are worn, paved streets, but they’re closed to traffic, and nature has begun to reclaim them. A short walk along the pavement leads you to the foundation of an old building. Some of the vintage tile from the rooms that were once inside the long-gone structure remains. Ornate tiles with a floral pattern outline an area that may have been an old swimming pool.

There are overgrown tennis courts and a massive lake, where those in-the-know about hidden Memphis fishing holes come to get away from hustle and bustle of the city. The sounds of nearby traffic along James Road are completely blocked by the rustling whisper of blowing leaves and bird songs. The Wolf River runs nearby, just on the other side of the lake.

This is Epping Way. Its history is a bit continued on page 18

of a mystery, but it’s believed to be the site of an old country club and the historic home of Berry Boswell Brooks, a big-game hunter whose exotic kills — lions, hippos, and other wildlife — were displayed in the Pink Palace Museum in the 1950s. The WRC acquired the 66-acre site (and 55 additional acres surrounding it), and the planned WRG will run through it. Cole and Wenner are hoping to eventually turn the area into Epping Way Nature Center and possibly even move the WRC headquarters to the site from their office building in Midtown.

“Our primary goal is to get the trail in, but [Epping Way] could become an environmental center, maybe like the Lichterman Nature Center. But it would be more of an outdoor classroom,” Wenner said. “You’ve got a river, a lake, and a wetland there. Maybe we could train adults and children in using canoes on the lake, and once they’re comfortable, we could move them to the river.”

October 15-21, 2015

The Design The WRC plans to build the greenway in short segments, and a one-mile segment through Kennedy Park is slated for development first.

“It will be controlled chaos for awhile.

It will be all over the place, but eventually, it will all come together,” said Chuck Flink, a senior advisor at Alta Planning+Design, which is working on the greenway design.

Flink has worked on greenway projects across the country, including the Grand Canyon Greenway and the Northwest Arkansas Razorback Regional Greenway, a 36-mile trail near the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

Flink says the WRG will be a paved trail, so it will be accessible to cyclists, walkers, runners, wheelchairs, and baby strollers.

“We’ll have lots of boardwalks and bridges. I like to refer to it as changing the plane, so you’ll get above the tree-line or above the surrounding ground in places.

That gives people different things to experience [along the trail],” Flink said.

Connecting Memphis Clark Butcher, owner of Victory Bicycle Studio on Broad, said the greenway will provide a safer east-west connection to get cyclists and pedestrians across the city.

Right now, Butcher said cyclists have to use a variety of protected and unprotected bike lanes and trails, some of which require cyclists to share the road with vehicles.

“There’s a huge false sense of security when it comes to bike lanes,” Butcher said.

“But what the WRC is doing is providing a dedicated and protected lane. You’re offroad, and it’s not wide enough for a car.”

Cole and Wenner are hoping the greenway will appeal not just to cyclists who would use the trail for recreation, but also to lower-income Memphians who may not have access to a car.

“This will also become a low- to

moderate-income transportation corridor, and there will be linkages with MATA bus lines,” Wenner said. “Somebody may bike to a certain point and then ride the bus the last mile to work or school.”

“The route will go through a lot of underserved neighborhoods,” adds Cort Percer, the Mid-South Greenways coordinator. “These are areas that are underserved in terms of access to green space, healthy food, transportation, recreation, and exercise opportunities. The greenway will be a path around the barriers — I-40, high-traffic roads — that have created this access problem.”

Alta Planning+Design’s study on the economic and health benefits of the WRG found that of the 100,000 residents living within a 10-minute walk of the proposed greenway, 2,500 were without access to a car, and 5,000 were below the poverty line.

The WRC is hoping to positively impact the health of the city by giving people better access to walking and biking trails.

In Memphis, 35 percent of the population is obese, and the diabetes rate is 50 percent higher than the national average. According to the Alta Planning+Design survey, the Memphis region will gain 1.19 million miles of walk trips and 1.25 million miles of bike trips once the greenway is complete. The survey found that the overall economic impact of the greenway will equal $14 million in combined health, transportation, environmental, and economic benefits.

But it isn’t just about connecting Memphians to walking trails and alternative transit. The greenway is also being designed to bring residents, who may not even know how to access the Wolf today, closer to the river. Better boat access to the Wolf is part of the master trail plan.

“We already have a very active recreational outreach program with 50-plus volunteer river guys who take people up and down the Wolf every year,” Cole said. “We could envision similar activities along the greenway, engaging neighborhoods and schools.”

At the end of the day, the WRC, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, is a land trust charged with conserving and enhancing the Wolf River by protecting the lands that surround it from future development. Cole and Wenner believe that building the WRG is the ultimate way to conserve and protect the river for years to come.

“We have this river, this asset, floating through our city,” Wenner said. “This is what we do to make it better. This is how we connect people to the river.”

Hollywood Confidential

By Chris Davis

Did he fight with Julia Roberts? Did he piss off Madonna? And what’s up with Meryl Streep and Val Kilmer? Were they misbehaving? Or did they do something wonderful?

Chambers Stevens is a Tennessee actor and storyteller exiled in Los Angeles where he encounters a lot of movie stars. He works as an acting coach for top-shelf Hollywood talent these days. In another life, he founded the Nashville Shakespeare Festival, and he’s never stopped being drawn to live performance.

Swimming to Cambodia actor Spalding Gray was an especially strong influence on Stevens, whose latest solo performance, It’s Who You Know, is formally inspired by one of Gray’s patented sit-down comedies. In A Personal History of the American Theatre, Gray would sit at his desk with a box of cards representing all the plays he’d performed in.

He’d shuffle the deck, pull a card, read the play title, and then proceed to tell a personal story inspired by the card. Substitute names of celebrities for play titles, and you’ve got It’s Who You Know.

Stevens’ history with celebrity doesn’t begin with his trip to the left coast. His father and Elvis were in the army together. Barbara Mandrell was a neighbor. Johnny Cash sponsored his little league baseball team.

Because cards are chosen at random, and only so many stories can be told in one evening, no two shows are alike. On any given night, the audience may be treated to stories about Will Smith or Kristin Chenoweth. Or they might get an earful of Memphis.

“I’ve been to parties all over the world,” Stevens says, ticking off a list of European capitals. “But the best party I’ve ever been to was in Memphis. It was the Blues Ball, and Isaac Hayes was playing. And every room had a different themed drink.”

Stevens and Hayes were co-writing a musical about Stax records when the Soul Man died in 2008.

Scared Straight-ish

By Chris Davis Hell Houses were created to scare the bejeezus out of kids by subjecting them to dramatizations depicting the sinful side of life as it can only be imagined by fundamentalist Christians. These church-sponsored alternatives to the haunted houses and hayrides that pop up in the fall are an opportunity to show kids the invariably horrible outcomes of satanic homosexualness, dope eating, and premarital sexification. In Hell Houses, the Devil’s minions laugh while unwholesome life choices turn the most popular boys and girls in school into drug-addicted hooker zombies. The only thing missing from this recipe for redemption: Sister Myotis, the Mid-South’s reigning queen of entrepreneurialistic evangelitainment and lead Deaconess at the Good Tidings Apostolic Holiness Christian Fellowship of Saints. Until now.

Sister Myotis’ Hell-O-Ween Endtimes House of the Apocalypse may not scare anybody straight, but the party and Voices of the South fundraiser promises to be a fun-packed evening of pie-walks, mayonnaise-based dips, and a kissing booth featuring Sister Velma.

Attendees are encouraged to dress as characters from the Bible, which may include devils, angels, Hezekiah, animals from the ark, or a plague.

T

yke T isn’t the type of guy who waits for success to come to him. Since moving to Memphis for work in 2011, the local rapper has been recognized by ABC 24 and the Memphis Grizzlies, in addition to getting music placement on national TV shows on the Oxygen channel and MTV. I caught up with Tyke T before he played the Hi-Tone last Friday night to find out more about his recent success, his outsider status in the music industry, and what he has planned for the future.

The Memphis Flyer: What was the rap scene like in Smyrna where you grew up?

Tyke T: Being from Smyrna, there wasn’t a whole lot going on. Smyrna is not exactly the mecca of music. When I was 14, I started rapping over songs that my brother had. He was a DJ so I would just rap over his instrumentals.

The first song I ever rapped over was Celly Cel’s “It’s Goin Down.” I guess a lot of people might think it was an overnight thing for me, but it definitely wasn’t. I remember at some point wanting to move out of my brother’s shadow and focus on making my own beats. My brother had a Casio keyboard, and at first I was my own producer, and the beats I made were terrible. The first song I ever wrote myself was called “S-Town.” Master P was really popular back then, so I tried to make it sound like one of his songs.

I wish I could find that CD because I know it was bad.

So once you moved to Memphis, you started the company Driven by Music. Tell me more about that.

Driven by Music is honestly everything to me. When we first started doing this, the first thing we started thinking of was branding. I wanted people to immediately relate to Driven

by Music as my thing, and that was before I even had real music. We had shirts, an idea, and a hashtag. Back in 2011 and 2012, I would go to all these music conferences, and all they would push is branding, branding, branding.

So I waited until I had the branding down, and then I dropped the music.

Eventually I’d like to turn it into a record label, but right now it’s just the easiest way for people to find what I do.

CLE EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

9PM –1AM

From Smyrna, Tennessee, to MTV.

How did your song “Nothing to Lose” wind up on the MTV show One Bad Choice?

That MTV placement is the result of two years of hard work. I would ask all these music supervisors if they were looking for hip-hop, and, eventually, if you do that long enough, someone is finally going to be like “Ok man, what do you have?” It was also the continuance of people being like “No, you aren’t going to get this. Stop asking. It will never happen.” That kept me driven. Eventually, no matter how many times people say no, someone is going to say yes.

The thing is, all these music supervisors on TV shows are looking for music, but they may not be looking for the type that you make. It’s important to ask them from the start what they are looking for. If they need a classical ballad and you are a freestyle rapper, don’t waste your time. Truth be told, I don’t have anybody that’s helping me out, I don’t know anyone in the music industry. I moved to Memphis for work, and I just decided I was going to make this shit happen. I’ve done open mic shows, pay-to-play gigs, and after all that you start to figure out, “Ok, this works, and that doesn’t.”

What was that feeling like?

Hearing your music on television for the first time?

Well, MTV wasn’t the first placement, so I’ll tell you about the first TV placement I ever got. I was at home, and my homeboy’s girlfriend

was like “You know Tyke’s music is on,” and he texted me and told me “Man, your song is on Sisterhood of Hip Hop,” and I was like “No it’s not. Shut up.”

When the show came back on TV at 9 p.m., and I heard my song, I got on my knees at my house and just prayed.

I wrote that goal down on a piece of paper in 2012, and, after a lot of hard work, it came true. When I got the MTV show, I was like “Hell yeah. Let’s send this shit out immediately.” MTV is obviously huge, and I’ll have that forever.

How has the MTV show spot helped your career?

My SoundCloud and website are both blowing up, but I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to track it.

People are figuring out where to find me, and then they hear everything I’ve done leading up to that song. It’s been turning on listeners to my other music.

What does the future hold for Tyke T? I have a 9 to 5, and I’m not afraid to admit that. The ultimate goal is for my music to generate my income. I’m just focusing on what I have to do to push my career forward. If somebody is winning, somebody is losing, and I’m trying to win everyday. My new EP is going to be called One Wednesday Night, and I think it’s the best music I’ve ever made.

Hall of Heroes career in country music. Rich reached No. 1 on the country charts with hits like “Behind Closed Doors,” and “The Most Beautiful Girl,” but the singer also borrowed a little something from many genres, and his songs included elements of jazz, rockabilly, soul, and blues. Rich passed away in 1995, but thanks to the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, his music will be once again celebrated, 20 years after his death.

Samuel Moore and Dave Prater (known simply as Sam & Dave) are widely regarded as the greatest soul duo of all time, mostly thanks to their domination of the music charts during their time working together. The duo produced 10 consecutive Top 20 singles and three consecutive Top 10 LPs, and the pair was instrumental in bringing soul music to white audiences. Prater passed away in 1988, but Moore is scheduled to appear on Saturday night.

Memphis Slim has been covered by everyone from Ray Charles to Jimi Hendrix, and his music from the ’40s and ’50s went on to become blues standards. Slim passed away in 1988, but his legacy lives on at the Stax-affiliated Memphis Slim House, a place for Memphis musicians of all kinds to learn, collaborate, and hone their craft.

Getting his start as Elvis Presley’s session guitarist, Scotty Moore helped define the era of rock-and-roll that put Memphis on the map. Imitated by many but duplicated by none, Moore is also a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Moore also cracked the Top 30 of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists and provided an intimate look at Elvis Presley with his book That’s Alright, Elvis: The Untold Story of Elvis’s First Guitarist and Manager.

Alberta Hunter and Al Jackson, Jr. round out Saturday’s list of honorees. Hunter is already a member of the Blues Hall of Fame, and her classic song “Downhearted Blues” was included in the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2002. Jackson, Jr. is best-known as the timekeeper in Booker T. and the MG’s, but he also performed as a session drummer for Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, and Al Green, among others.

The Memphis Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Saturday, October 17th at the Cannon Center.

7 p.m. $50-$100.

Justin Timberlake

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

“Hold On, I’m Coming,” “Cry Me a River,” “Behind Closed Doors,” “Have Guitar, Will Travel,” “Grinder Man Blues,” “Green Onions,” “Two Cigarettes in the Dark.” What do all these iconic songs have in common? They were all written/ recorded by Memphis folk, amazing artists who rode the charts, started trends in popular music, or just flat-out rocked like no other. These song titles belong to the likes of Sam & Dave, Justin Timberlake, Charlie Rich, Scotty Moore, Memphis Slim, Al Jackson, Jr., and Alberta Hunter, all pioneers of their respective genres, all distinctly Memphis-made musicians who left their mark (or are still leaving it) on the music world.

Yes, it’s safe to say that Memphis is home to some of the greatest to ever take the stage, and now, thanks to a new location for the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, these groundbreaking artists will be remembered forever. Saturday’s festivities at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts will center around topnotch musical performances and tributes, with honorees Justin Timberlake, Sam Moore and Scotty Moore all scheduled to appear. This year’s honorees join the 47 previous inductees including B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Big Star, Carl Perkins, Sam Phillips, Otis Redding, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Howlin’ Wolf, and other world-changing musicians, bringing the total number of Memphis Music Hall of Fame inductees to 54. The induction ceremony will be produced by Royal Studios’ Boo Mitchell, and Mitchell will bring back the Hi Rhythm Section to serve as house band for the evening.

Let’s start with the obvious. In the world of local heroes, Justin Timberlake is unrivaled. The boy-band-memberturned-pop-icon is one of the most successful musicians to ever come out of Memphis, and his collection of nine Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards make him the “headliner” of Saturday’s ceremony.

Timberlake has kept Memphis music on the popular music map like no other current musician, and quite frankly his induction is long overdue.

Charlie Rich started out as a Sun Records session player, recording songs with Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis before embarking on his own successful

CANNIBAL CORPSE LIVE AT THE NEW DAISY No resurgence of a venue that has a long history of catering to metalheads would be complete without an appearance from a band like Cannibal Corpse. Cannibal Corpse might not be the type of band you put on your car stereo while taking your grandma to Kroger, but the band’s longevity is definitely something to behold. Personally, I’ve been a fan of Cannibal Corpse’s extremely recognizable artwork since I was old enough to appreciate the artistic genius it must take to depict zombie corpses performing medical experiments on each other. While most bands that have been around since the ’80s have gone through some kind of aesthetic makeover, the artwork created

by Vince Locke for Cannibal Corpse is one of the few examples of a band’s presentation being more recognizable than the band’s music.

Shocking artwork aside, the Cannibal Corpse résumé is pretty impressive. Since forming in 1988, the band has released 13 albums, were accused of undermining the integrity of the United States by Bob Dole, and even made a cameo in the 1994 Jim Carrey movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. They’ve also sold over two million records, making them the best-selling death-metal band of all time. Not bad.

Touring with Cannibal Corpse is Soreption, a Swedish tech-metal band celebrating a decade of existence this year. Soreption’s 2014 album Engineering the Void was released last year on Unique Leader Records, and the band has been touring extensively overseas and in the U.S. since then. Also on Wednesday’s bill is Cattle Decapitation, who released their seventh studio album The Anthropocene Extinction earlier this summer. If grind, death metal, tech metal, (or just plain death) are words you use to describe your musical interests, the New Daisy is the place to be on Wednesday. — Chris Shaw Cannibal Corpse, Soreption, Cattle Decapitation, Wednesday, October 21st at the New Daisy Theater, 7 p.m., $20.

Scary Stories

Carrie shakes Circuit; Peter Lorre visits TheatreWorks.

C

October 15-21, 2015

inderella is onstage at the Orpheum Theatre this week, creating a special opportunity for playgoers to experience back-toback performances of the Disney classic and its dark doppelganger Carrie: the Musical, which runs through October 25th at Circuit Playhouse. Based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, Carrie tells the tragically prescient tale of a bullied teenage girl with telekinesis whose bloody prom night humiliation yields an even bloodier psychic rampage.

It’s also a Twilight Zone-like parable, forcing viewers to understand the title character in the context of her abusive fundamentalist Christian mother and her abrasive classmates and to ask who the real monsters are.

The musical is plagued by campy overtones and it wants for memorable tunes. In spite of this, Circuit’s production is oddly moving. It effortlessly reflects a new American (horror story) normal — the mass shooting. Director Courtney Oliver has never been one to shy away from violence and seems to have a special affinity for the troubled and troubling material. She’s assembled a sensitive, (mostly) sincere cast that balances the musical’s tonal inconsistency with a raw emotional core.

28

Maggie Robinson’s Carrie is awkward and clever, with a rich inner life and real Disney princess potential. She projects sweetness and bitter hurt. This Carrie may be a runt, but she’s big enough to forgive her mother — played by the always excellent Carla McDonald — and her cruel classmates. But she won’t be allowed to. That’s not how the world works.

Carrie: the Musical has one great song: “The World According to Chris.” It’s an infectious bit of pop songcraft about the most important lessons learned in school: “Better to strike then get struck,

better to screw then get screwed … even if somebody bleeds.” Chris is Carrie’s antagonist and the chief mean girl/wicked stepsister of this Cinderella story. Brooke Papritz is a brutal vision of ambition-free entitlement and is fantastic in the role.

Carrie: the Musical never quite lives up to its pulpy source material. But if this musical horror story ever had a cultural moment, this, I’m sorry to report, is it.

And, from the opening number to its bloody finish, Circuit’s unvarnished production exceeds expectations.

At Circuit Playhouse through October 25th An Actor in Purgatory is an unusual script for Our Own Voice Theatre Troupe (OOV). Unlike many of the company’s unapologetically experimental works, this play about the life of film actor Peter Lorre seems like it might have a life beyond its death when OOV closes the show. It might even have — dare I say it — commercial appeal.

The conceit: As audience and actors, we’ve arrived in a liminal space — a theater that is also the mythological purgatory. The story goes something like this: Lorre, freshly dead of a cerebral hemorrhage, awakens in a place between life and afterlife where he’s forced to examine his time on Earth and come to grips with his essential character. This is an often troubling, but ultimately liberating journey for Lorre, who launched his career in Germany working with great innovators like Jacob Moreno and Bertolt Brecht. He’s best known to Americans (and probably to the world) for creating 20th-century cinema’s archetypal foreign psychopath/ creep in films ranging from M to The Maltese Falcon and various Roger Corman cheapies. “[Fritz Lang] made me a murderer!”

Bob Klyce’s Lorre declares in naked frustration, parsing the freedoms afforded by a prison of success. Before the film M became an international success, Lorre was an actor of notable range. Afterward, he was seldom allowed to venture too far beyond the shadow of Lang’s child killer.

In a roundabout way, the play is also as autobiographical as it is biographical.

Our Own Voice’s struggle to produce meaningful progressive content in a city that loves its Broadway musicals is reflected in Lorre’s life story. The perfect Brechtian protagonist was always torn between the urge to be an artist and the need to feed himself.

FOOD NEWS By John Klyce Minervini

Rise & Shine

Pancake flavors abound at Staks.

Staks opens in East Memphis; breakfast and brunch at Belly Acres, Bari, and Bleu.

JUSTIN FOX BURKS

I

n season two of Parks and Recreation, Leslie Knope famously wondered, “Why would anyone ever eat anything besides breakfast food?” Why indeed. Breakfast isn’t just delicious, it’s also devilishly trendy.

As usual, Memphis finds itself at the bleeding edge of this trend. Last month, we scored a breakfast-only restaurant near Poplar and Perkins, and three culinary standbys have lately started serving brunch. So grab a mimosa and your sexiest Sunday sunglasses: We’re going on a whirlwind tour.

If we do this right, you may never have to eat lunch or dinner again.

There was a moment, two years ago, when Tressa Ogles got serious about pancakes.

She had just returned from her Saturday morning jog to find her husband and two daughters making a big mess in the kitchen. For some moms, it would have been a bummer. But Ogles saw a business opportunity.

“Pancakes are a part of our family tradition,” she confesses. “My husband used to make them with his mother every Saturday when he was a little boy. We had been talking for a while about turning it into a restaurant. That day, we just looked at each other and said, I think we can do this.”

And thus was born Staks, a new breakfast joint in East Memphis. You think you know pancakes? You don’t know pancakes. At least not until you’ve tried the lemonricotta, Oreo-praline, or (my favorite) birthday cake flavors. Feeling adventurous? Take a dip in the deep fryer and order the Pancake Beignets ($5.95), dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with caramel sauce.

If possible, the food is rendered even tastier by the décor. Everything about this place — from the Tiffany-teal walls to the mercury-glass mirrors to the whisk-shaped pendant lamps—is Instagram-ready. Heck, it’s like eating in a jewel box. Best part? You

can sit at a community table and cook your own pancakes at a piping-hot griddle.

From East Memphis to Midtown, where foodie favorite Bari Ristorante has recently started serving brunch. Since they opened in 2002, owners Rebecca and Jason Severs have had a bracingly simple food philosophy: source the best ingredients and don’t mess with them too much.

“Jason’s mother is from a tiny town outside of Bari, in Italy,” Rebecca says. “This is the food that he grew up eating, and we wanted to share that.”

That distinguished pedigree is evident in dishes like the Bruschetta with Marmalades and Mascarpone ($10). The house-made bread is light and crusty, and the exquisite jams are prepared by Jason himself (on my visit, they had lemon, grape, and mixed berry). Also recommended: the Grilled Polenta with Pancetta and Caramelized Onion ($12) and a tall glass of bartender Vincent Hale’s sangria ($9).

Of course, some days you don’t feel fancy. Some days, you just want a biscuit. If that’s your speed, saunter on over to Belly Acres. The farm-to-table restaurant has recently opened for breakfast on weekends, and Overton Square may never be the same.

So what’s the secret to the perfect, flaky biscuit?

“Wet batter, fold it eight times. No more, no less,” chef Rob Ray says. “If you overdo it, then the gluten gets all worked up. Then you’re just making a bun.”

He ain’t just whistling Dixie. These are seriously good, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits.

You can order them with gravy, but the Chicken Biscuits ($3.50) are even better. Made with free-range chicken that has been marinated in buttermilk and pickle brine, then fried, they’re warm and crispy, like waking up on grandma’s farm.

But the innovation award goes to Ana Gonzalez, chef at Bleu Restaurant & Lounge in the Westin. She took a traditional Mexican breakfast — huevos rancheros — and deconstructed it.

The result is Nachos Rancheros ($8), which made its debut last weekend. Here, house-made tortilla chips cozy up to cheese sauce, refried beans, and a fried egg. Top it off with avocado wedges and a bit of pico Bleu chef Ana Gonzalez de gallo, and you’ve got a brunch so tasty, you’ll wonder why you never thought of it. Pairs well with a bloody mary ($10) and a pair of dark sunglasses to ward off paparazzi.

“It’s best on Sunday, when you have a hangover,” says Gonzalez, with a mischievous wink. “That’s why we’re open until 4 p.m.”

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

Vertigo Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Robert Zemeckis soar in The Walk.

2

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Philippe Petit

October 15-21, 2015

015 is a big year for Robert Zemeckis.

It’s the 30th anniversary of his all-time classic Back to the Future. On October 21st, the film’s fans will gather for a marathon viewing of the entire trilogy on the very day Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled to in Back to the Future Part II. Yes, we’re as far in time from 1985 as Marty and Doc were from the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. The Zemeckis of 1985 couldn’t have known he was making an enduring masterpiece, but he would no doubt have been pleased to know that when 2015 rolled around, he would have a new movie he wrote, directed, and produced in theaters, and it would be a good one.

The story behind The Walk has been told onscreen before, in James Marsh’s 2008 documentary Man on Wire. In 1974, Philippe Petit, a French mime, street performer, and high-wire obsessive, read an article about the 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center that were about to be completed in Manhattan. The Parisian became obsessed with the idea of performing a tightrope walk between the towers, which would not only be the highest tightrope walk in history, but, as they were the tallest buildings in the world, the highest tightrope walk possible.

Neither the fact that the towers were on another continent, nor that the whole enterprise was both absurdly illegal and almost certainly suicidal, could deter Petit from his dream. Such was his confidence that he was the only person who wasn’t surprised when he pulled it off.

In Zemeckis’ version of the story, Joseph GordonLevitt has the unenviable task of playing Petit. I say “unenviable” because playing the larger-than-life Frenchman means being saddled with an out-a-rageous accent for The Walk’s two-hour running time.

Even worse, Zemeckis, like the documentary director Marsh, chose to allow Petit to narrate. In Marsh’s case, that means letting the interviewee tell his own story from the safety of the ground. But the fictionalized Petit narrates from a precarious perch atop the torch of the Statue of Liberty.

If this sounds eye-rollingly cheesy to you, you’re right. It is cheesy. And yet, Zemeckis somehow makes it work. If Petit was a fictional character, he would have to be toned down to be believable. But he’s real, and Gordon-Levitt plays him fairly straight.

Post-Forrest Gump Zemeckis has often tumbled over into the too-precious abyss, but Petit’s natural outlandishness has the perverse effect of grounding the director.

The visuals, on the other hand, are far from grounded. Zemeckis has made a career of being perched on the cutting edge of film technology, from digitally compositing Forrest Gump into real historical footage to the early CGI animation of The Polar Express. In The Walk, he makes one of the few convincing arguments for 3-D I’ve seen. It’s usually just a ticket-price-inflating gimmick—does anyone really think the sweeping vistas of Lawrence of Arabia

would be better in 3-D? But the story of the crazy guy who walked a tightrope 1,377 feet above Manhattan is absolutely the right subject matter for stereoscopic photography. Zemeckis has great fun manipulating the viewer’s depth perception, especially once Petit steps out onto the highest of wires. Combined with the flawless, photorealistic CGI, he makes The Walk a completely immersive experience. Since he’s the narrator, you know Petit is going to make it across unharmed, but it’s still a sphincter-clinching journey.

If you’re prone to vertigo, you should sit this one out. But for the rest of us, The Walk is a movie best experienced from the edge of a theater seat.

I can feel your accusing stares on me.

“Are you really going to give a bad review to the poor little Pakistani girl who got shot in the head by the Taliban for daring to go to school?” you ask.

Malala Yousafzai would be an awesome human being even without her short life’s defining event. Born in Pakistan’s Swat Valley to Ziauddin Yousafzai, a Sunni Muslim school teacher and political activist, Malala was named after a Pashtun folk hero who rallied the local tribes to defeat the British during the “Great Game” wars of the 19th century. She was not the first girl in her family to attend school—the documentary He Named Me Malala tells us her mother went to school for a couple of days before selling her books for candy—but she is the first one to actively and eagerly pursue an education. When the Taliban came to the family’s sheltered valley, they declared that educating women was unIslamic. Malala gained international attention by writing a blog about the Taliban’s repression of women for the BBC, and the fundamentalist zealots retaliated by hunting her down and shooting her in the head, along with three other girls on the bus. She miraculously survived the attack, and was flown to England for lifesaving surgery, and, after extensive rehabilitation, she can now function normally. She has used her second lease on life to campaign tirelessly for women’s rights and promote peace through education. In 2014, she became the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize. Onscreen, she is funny, bright-eyed, fiercely intelligent, and fearless. I’m not going to give her a bad review.

I am going to give director Davis Guggenheim a bad review. The biggest thing I learned from directing a documentary is that you are always going to be judged first and foremost for your choice of subject. Malala, with a unique story and a compelling screen presence, is the perfect subject.

There’s plenty of drama in the story of Malala’s resistance to the Taliban

FILM REVIEW continued from page 41 and the price they exacted from her. So why does Guggenheim wait until the end of the movie to tell it? By the time we get to the meat of the story, we’ve already been hanging out with Malala, Ziauddin, her brothers, some Kenyan girls, Hillary Clinton, and Bono for 40 minutes.

It’s a completely inexplicable and infuriating choice, especially coming from the director who won the 2007 Best Documentary Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth. For that film, which is as important today as when it was released, he managed to craft a compelling story around a PowerPoint presentation.

Eight years later, with an even better central character and a lifeor-death narrative, he completely

botches it. The film’s running time is only 88 minutes, but thanks to the too-clever-by-half structure, it feels much longer.

Even beyond Malala, there’s plenty of interesting material to work with here, such as the inside explanation of the Taliban’s appeal to the uneducated populations. (It involves talk radio.)

But He Named Me Malala is simply unable to present it in a coherent fashion.

I’m still scratching my head over how Guggenheim could miss such a slam dunk. Malala and the women worldwide whom she inspires deserve better.

TH E LAST WO R D by Tim Sampson

Thanks, Mayor Wharton

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

This is an open letter to Memphis Mayor A C Wharton. Yes, you’re still the mayor. You will be until December 31st, 2015. That gives you roughly 10 weeks left in office as the leader of Memphis. I’m just wondering what you plan to do in the next 10 weeks.

First, let me say that I have no beef whatsoever with Mayor-elect Jim Strickland. I haven’t met Mr. Strickland yet, and I hope he is wildly successful in making the hometown I love so much a better place.

More than anything right now, though, I want to thank you, Mayor Wharton, for doing just that.

I think you have done a fantastic job in your roles as public defender, county mayor, and mayor of the city, despite the odds you have faced. In addition to your passionate work to get guns off the streets, help incarcerated, mentally disabled people get a fair shake, make Memphis a healthier city, and help distressed neighborhoods become thriving centers of commerce, culture, and hope, you have done this with grace, intelligence, and the sharpest sense of both honest concern and a sense of humor. You are one of the funniest people I’ve ever known, and I love that about you. A wit as quick as yours in a politician?

Pretty rare.

But I also love your serious side and the fact that you seem to be able to always be at 10 places at once every day of every week. When something bad happens, you are there to try to come up with the answers. When something good happens, you are there to share the moment and pat people on the back for a job well done. You’re an incredible ambassador for Memphis, everywhere you go. Are you perfect?

Nah. Nobody is. I don’t know a lot about politics, but I know something about good people, and you are certainly that. I’m proud to call you a friend.

The day after the October 8th election, I read a very disconcerting headline that proclaimed, “In humiliating loss, Wharton has only self to blame.” You’re probably too much of a gentleman to respond to that opinionated, kick-’em-when-they’re-down kind of smear tactic, but I will go on record saying that you have nothing to be humiliated about. It’s politics. Times change. The world keeps spinning. And the 15 million or so people who come here from all over the world every year to experience Memphis will continue to come to one of the coolest cities in the world, a city in which the majority of its residents don’t have a clue what a pilgrimage that is for so many of them.

Mayor Because so many people blame you for every single thing that goes wrong in Memphis, I’m going to AC give you credit here for every good thing that has happened during your mayoral tenure. Your Mayor’s Wharton Innovation Team, under your direction, has done wonders for areas like Broad Avenue and Crosstown.

Those once-dilapidated, sad places are now so thriving that other cities should be following the revitalization model your team has set forth. While a lot of other people also deserve credit for that, you should certainly take credit, too. The transformations began under your watch. Likewise with Overton Square, one of the best urban success stories in the country right now. Same with the South Main Arts District, Chisca Hotel, Front Street, Soulsville, Beale Street, Cooper Street, and now, finally, hopefully, Clayborn Temple across from the FedExForum. Take credit, Mr. Mayor. A lot of great things have happened in Memphis with you at the helm.

Perhaps the most existentially important things that have happened on your watch are the renaming of the city parks formerly known as Confederate Park, Nathan Bedford Forrest Park, and Jefferson Davis Park, things that baffled those 15 million visitors a year to Memphis — and many of us who live here. That was an awesome accomplishment and proof of progress directed at no longer honoring and paying tribute to slave owners. Yep, it’s that simple.

Which brings me back to my initial question of what you plan to do in these last 10 weeks in office. In the aforementioned newspaper article that declared your mayoral election results a “humiliating loss,” the writer also mentioned that “Everyone’s seen the cranes in Nashville, seen the resurgence so many other cities are enjoying, and wondering why they weren’t seeing enough of it here.”

First off, the reason there are so many cranes in Nashville is that over there they are demolishing historic landmarks as fast as they can to build hideous, generic-looking condominiums. The resurgence of Memphis has been more carefully executed. It’s a bit subtler than Nashville, but then Nashville is more about glitz and glamour.

I would like to see one big crane, though. I remember my heart sort of leaping out of my chest not too long ago, when I read or heard that you, the mayor, personally issued a request that the city remove the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest that still resides in the park on Union Avenue that used to bear his name. I don’t know what the status of that request is now. The crane I’d like to see before you leave office is the one extracting the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest from that park and moving it wherever it is most out of view. The park has been renamed, so why not move it? I would give anything if you could pull that off by the time your term is up. I’d be happy to help.

THE LAST WORD

TOBY SELLS

A nod to the many accomplishments of our outgoing mayor.
