NASHVILLE — Another million-dollar Tennessee Lottery ticket was sold in Shelby County last week — the fourth million-dollar plus winning ticket sold in Greater Memphis within the last two months. A ticket sold at Coby’s Food Mart, 679 West Poplar in Collierville, turned into a milliondollar winner in last Friday night’s multistate “Monopoly Millionaires’ Club” drawing. The winning ticket hasn’t been presented to the Tennessee Lottery yet but the retailer will receive $5,000 for selling the ticket. Winners have 180 days from the drawing to present their winning tickets. The “Monopoly Millionaires’ Club” launched three weeks ago and last Friday’s drawing was the irst time the game’s top prize was won, a $21 million winner in New Jersey. There were also 14 million-dollar winners, including the ticket sold in Collierville. A trust fund in the name of TCL Trust presented the winning $2 million Oct. 11 Powerball ticket sold at Riverdale Gas & Grocery, 4219 Riverdale Road in Hickory Hill, according to Tennessee Lottery spokeswoman Kym Gerlock. The holder of a Sept. 24 Powerball ticket worth $1 million sold at Perkins BP, 2760 South Perkins, still has not claimed that prize, Gerlock said. And the holder of a $1 million instant ticket sold in Brownsville presented that ticket Sept. 29, she said. Gerlock advised lottery purchasers to sign the backs of their tickets.

‘Rudy’ ofers strategy for success in G’town Former Notre Dame player speaks at Houston By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

“People don’t care how much you know. They care how much you care.” Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger cared an awful lot about a chance to play football for the University of Notre Dame, and it was that level of passion and commitment

that made him successful. For one play, Ruettiger was a star. Ruettiger spoke at Houston High School last Thursday night as a guest of the Bodine School, which serves children with dyslexia. Ruettiger was diagnosed with dyslexia after high school, as he was pursuing his dream of attending and playing football for Notre Dame. “I was that guy sitting in a

classroom saying, ‘Why can’t I read? Why can’t I do what my friends can do?” Ruettiger said. His story, from overcoming poor grades in high school to making one defensive sack in his irst and last Notre Dame game and being carried of the ield by his teammates, became the story for the 1993 movie “Rudy” starring Sean Astin. Bodine Head of School Josh Clark joked that the only school in the city without a football program was the one school to

bring “Rudy” to Memphis. “I take a lot of pride in that,” he said in his opening remarks. After serving in the United States Navy, Ruettiger spent two years at a junior college before his grades were good enough to transfer to Notre Dame. He played on the team’s practice squad, getting pounded by athletes a foot taller than him. “Keep getting hit, keep getting up,” Ruettiger said. “That’s life.” After his moment of glory on

the ield, Ruettiger said he sat in the locker room and tried to think of what to do next. His next dream became to make a movie about his life, which turned out to be a hard pitch. Ruettiger eventually connected with Angelo Pizzo, who produced “Hoosiers,” and the ilm “Rudy” was born. Ruettiger said his success had nothing to do with being a great reader or football player. “All I did was do what I expected myself to do.”

Kristin and Izzy Cordero sit with Kristin’s therapy dog, Bear, at their home. Kristin, who sufers from the neurodegenerative disease Huntington’s, gets assistance from the golden retriever with walking and many household chores, among other things. Bear’s “impact has been incredible,” said Izzy.

‘Unconditional love’ By Geof Calkins calkins@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2364

Kristin and Izzy Cordero wanted to have children, so they inally got the test. If she tested positive for Huntington’s disease, they had decided, children were out of the question. Any child would then have a 50 percent chance of getting the disease themselves. “Kristin was adamant,” said Izzy, 42. “She had seen what the disease does.” Huntington’s is a neurodegenerative disease that has been described as a combination of Alzheimer’s, ALS and Parkinson’s. “There’s nothing worse,” said Millie Cordero, Izzy’s mother. “There is absolutely nothing worse. You’ve got the Parkinson’s part of it, you’ve got the Lou Gehrig’s part of it, you’ve got the dementia part of it. And there is nothing for Huntington’s. Nothing can be done.” Kristin and Izzy knew there was a 50 percent chance she had the disease. She had told him all about it when they started to date. He married her anyway. Because that’s what love is, you know? “The nurse gave us the results,” said Izzy. “In our hearts, we already knew. She told us that Kristin had tested positive.” Kristin and Izzy were devas-

Service dog makes grim diagnosis easier to ‘Bear’ tated. They had met in college, when they worked together at Café Ole, she as a hostess, he as a server. She went on to work as a crackerjack nurse at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and in the burn unit at The Regional Medical Center. He went on to teach chemistry, irst at Arlington and now at Central High School. “They were meant for each other,” said Millie. Kristin can no longer control her physical movements. Her arms jerk and wave and dance. Seeing her, you think she has a particularly active form of cerebral palsy. She can’t speak clearly. Her cognitive ability is deteriorating. So more than a year ago, Millie suggested a service dog might help. She had heard of a group near Nashville called Retrieving Independence that trains dogs to help people with seizures, diabetes and mobility disorders. The dogs are actually trained by prison inmates. They are placed in the prison as puppies and a trainer from Retrieving Independence works with the prisoners to train the growing dogs to do speciic tasks. “We thought it was a great

idea,” said Izzy. “We met Bear, as a puppy, last February. That was just to see if he’d be a it. We needed a calm dog, a dog that wouldn’t be scared by Kristin’s movements, or if she hit him. But then we had to wait while he was trained.” The wait seemed like forever. Meanwhile, Kristin regressed. “She wouldn’t say anything,” said Izzy. “She would answer you with one word. There were no conversations any longer. ... She became disengaged.” Finally, in late October, Izzy and Kristin drove to Nashville to pick up Bear and spend a week training with him. Lesley Adams, the head trainer with Retrieving Independence, said “The dogs were scheduled to come at 3:30 p.m. Everybody’s eyes were glued to the door. And Bear’s head pokes in and Kristin leaped up out of her chair and screamed his name and ran to the dog. I knew then, it was going to be just ine.” That was three weeks ago. It has been better than ine. “The impact has been incredible,” said Izzy. “You could see it immediately.”

By Tuesday of their week in Nashville, Kristin was pitching into conversations, chatting in the altered way that she can. She was engaged. She was happy. “And walking with Bear made a huge diference,” said Izzy. “She was walking much closer to the way she normally walked. Everyone noticed that her entire gait had changed.” The progress has continued since the family returned to Memphis. Kristin no longer gets anxious about being left alone in the house. She and her mother have taken Bear with them all around Memphis. “We took him to Kroger,” said Sara Wilkinson. “He lay right under the table when we met some friends at Owen Brennan’s. Kristin was much more involved.” Bear can do a remarkable array of chores around the Cordero household. He really can lush the toilet, pick up dropped pieces of silverware, take the laundry out of the dryer and open and close the fridge. But even more than that, he is a constant companion, a source of open-hearted, enthusiastic warmth. “It’s unconditional love,” said Adams, the trainer. “Dogs look at people as being wonderful. It doesn’t matter if you can’t talk, it doesn’t matter if you walk funny, it doesn’t matter if you’re in a wheelchair. They love you. That’s all they want.”

One person was taken to a hospital after a vehicle crashed through the front window of the West Clinic in Germantown last Thursday afternoon. Germantown police Capt. Joe Bradley said 37-year-old Angela Painter, of Marked Tree, Arkansas, was a passenger in the vehicle, and that the driver, Mary Sanders, 64, of Bartlett, accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake. Painter was taken to the hospital as a precaution, Bradley said, but she had no obvious injuries. He said the 1998 Ford Explorer drove into the building at 8000 Wolf River Blvd. just before 1 p.m. The room on the other side of the glass was an administrative oice, and one in the building was injured. A fax machine was damaged, Bradley said, and was initially thought to be part of an X-ray machine, so hazmat crews were called to the scene to make sure there was no radiation leak. Insp. Lee Covey said the driver was not cited and no charges are expected to be iled. Jennifer pignolet

HOSPICE from 1 She took two 1½-inch nails from the box and glued them together side by side, sharp point to lattened head. Then she used the edge of the cardboard box to measure of a length of copper wire. “We moved to Memphis for Hubert’s work,” she said. “He was an engineer on the IC railroad. We moved to DeSoto County. That’s where I taught seventh grade. They say that’s a hard age to teach but I loved it. Sometimes they’d raise their hand and say, ‘Mama?’ They’d forget where they were. “My son, Hank, built his mama a house in Cordova. It was near a school in case

I wanted to teach again, but I guess I’ve had enough of that. I could, I suppose. It just never occurred to me. Hmmm.” She glued the two shorter nails crosswise to a longer, 2 ½-inch nail. Then she wrapped a strand of copper wire tight around the joined pieces, then up under the lattened head of the vertical piece and made a tiny loop. She put the finished stainless steel cross in a box and started working on another one. She igures she’s made and given away thousands of little crosses over the years. When she went to Hope Presbyterian Church last Easter, every member of the choir was wearing one. “I haven’t been to church since Easter,” she said. “It

took ive or six of those green oxygen tanks just to get me through the service. “Gina, my daughter, she’s a respiratory therapist. She was back behind the pew changing out my tanks. My grandson was going back and forth to the car getting new tanks. “It’s too much trouble. So now I do Bible study here. I do nails, and I see people. I guess that’s about it. A lot of people come to see me.” One is Roy Barber, a fellow member of Hope Presbyterian. He and his wife take the tiny crosses, coat them with polyurethane and add strings so people can wear them around their necks. “I went to see her in February and she said, ‘I’ve got a job for you. I need you to

triple-dip these.’ That’s what I love about her. She didn’t ask. She told me what she needed me to do. Those crosses are everywhere.” Another regular visitor is Milton Carroll, a chaplain at Hope. “She’s a ball of energy,” he said. “I call her ‘Blue Eyes.’ I’ll come in and say, ‘Hello, Blue Eyes. How are you feeling?’ She’ll say, ‘Milton, I feel ine. I just can’t breathe.’ Then we both laugh.” Hubert and Susie Weaver were married in 1953. Not long before he died, they bought a plot in Oak Hill Cemetery in Water Valley. That’s where her parents are buried. That’s where Hubert is buried. Next to his gravestone is hers. “Milton and I have been

planning my funeral. So far, all we got is one song: ‘Walkin’ in the Sunshine.’ It’s an old Roger Miller song. Milton said, ‘Susie, I can just see you walking down the street with Jesus, both of you swinging hands and singing, ‘Walkin’ in the Sunshine.’ ” Susie smiles and picks up another nail. “My health issues are I’m going to breathe until I die and then that’s it,” she said. “But I feel ine. I’m happy. I’m peaceful. God’s got a plan. We’ve both got a plan. “My plan is to do whatever God wants me to do. It may be nothing but nails, and if that’s it, I’ll just sit here and make nails.”

Veterans, local leaders tout plans for Veterans Home helps. Swogger, joined by a group of area politicians and veterans, used the occasion of Veterans Day eve to highlight fundraising eforts for the proposed 144-bed facility that would provide skilled nursing care and rehabilitation therapy for veterans in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties.

Politics GERMANTOWN

Mayor-elect Palazzolo eyes mending city After ‘polarizing’ campaign, new mayor plans to focus on schools By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The day after Election Day, Mike Palazzolo’s top three priorities were breakfast with his daughter, replying to congratulatory messages, and a nap. But Germantown’s mayor-elect will soon shift his focus to mending the community after what he called a “polarizing” campaign, and forming citizen

groups to design the city’s 2040 plan. Palazzolo beat former city employee George Brogdon with 54 percent of the vote Nov. 4. It marked the end of the three-month battle between the two that created arguably the area’s most heated political race. “The entire county was looking at our race,” Palazzolo said. “They hadn’t seen that type of activity in our city in at least the generation of politics I’ve

been in.” Looking forward, P a l a z z olo said he expects the community to do some m e n d i n g Mike on its own Palazzolo as residents shift focus back to daily life. “Those things will begin to fade to a certain extent,” he said. Palazzolo, along with new aldermen John Barzizza and Mary Anne Gibson, who won their elections against incumbent Greg Marcom and Mary Chick Hill, respectively,

will be sworn in on Dec. 15. Palazzolo said one of his top priorities after the holiday season is one of his campaign-platform promises; a joint retreat with the Germantown Municipal School Board and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Those meetings, he said, will help drive the discussion on the school district’s capital needs. While the school district evaluates its potential growth, citizen groups will form to do the same for the city as a whole. Germantown used citizens to create the city’s “2020 plan,”

from which the Smart Growth development plan derived. Palazzolo said it’s already time to start thinking about the next 20 years and to form committees for the 2040 plan. He said he doesn’t want to start the project with any preconceived ideas of what the plan should include. “If you try and plan these things and have an agenda,” it won’t work. “Our people are fairly smart. They’ll see through that,” he said. Palazzolo said he will continue working as a senior development oicer

for Rhodes College, since the $24,000-a-year mayor job is part-time. “My employer has been very gracious to allow me to be a citizen servant,” he said. “So there’s a lot of lexibility there.” Alderman Forrest Owens said he is looking forward to seeing Palazzolo in his new role. Per the city’s charter, the board will appoint a new member to serve out the rest of Palazzolo’s term. “It will be a fairly new board,” he said. “I think the dynamic will change, but the new people have the best interest of Germantown at heart.”

LEGISLATURE

Kelsey submits bill to change how judges take their seats By Richard Locker locker@commercialappeal.com 615-255-4923

NASHVILLE — Two days after Tennesseans repealed their right to elect appellate court judges, state Sen. Brian Kelsey iled legislation to implement a new system of judicial appointments by the governor for eight-year terms upon conirmation by the state Legislature. Tennesseans would only get a vote on the judges if they choose to seek new eight-year terms, at which time they would face statewide “retain” or “reject” votes under provisions of both the constitutional Amendment 2 that won voter ratiication Nov. 4 and the legislation Kelsey, R-Germantown, iled Nov. 6 to implement it. Voters would get a quicker chance to retain or reject a judge appointed to ill an

unexpired term: He or she would appear on the next statewide August election ballot for a retention vote on the remainder of the term. Those who want to remain on the bench for the next full term would face the regular retention election vote as other appellate court judges. The amendment and Kelsey’s Senate Bill 1 to implement it applies to the ive Tennessee Supreme Court justices, the 12 judges on the Tennessee Court of Appeals and the 12 on the Tennessee Court of Crim-

inal Appeals. State trial court judges at the county and judicial district levels are not afected. Kelsey’s bill also sets up the process for legislative conirmation of the appellate judges. The bill would create a new 14-member judicial conirmation committee composed of seven members of both the Senate and House of Representatives. The panel must hold one public hearing in which the public can present written testimony against or in favor of the nominee. The committee will have power to request a conidential background investigation of nominees, and subpoena power to compel witnesses to testify and deliver documents to the committee. House and Senate committee members will vote separately on whether to recommend conirmation

or rejection of the nominee to the full House and Senate. The two chambers must then vote on whether to conirm or reject the nominee. Under the bill, the nominee will not take oice until the Legislature has acted. If the Legislature does not conirm or reject the nominee within 60 days of the governor’s selection, or within 60 days after the Legislature convenes if it was not in session, the nominee is conirmed. Also on Nov. 6, Gov. Bill Haslam issued an executive order establishing a new 11-member Governor’s Council for Judicial Appointments that will recommend three candidates to ill each vacancy in the state’s trial and appellate courts. The governor will choose from the three or ask the council to submit three more nominees.

HALL TAX COULD BE PHASED OUT Tennessee’s tax on income from stock dividends and interest on certain bonds would be phased out over three years starting in 2016 under a bill iled Nov. 6 by state Sen. Brian Kelsey. The bill was iled after the Nov. 4 ratiication of Amendment 3 to the state constitution, banning any new state or local personal income tax on earned income — including wages and salaries — and any payroll tax measured by income. The amendment explicitly exempts and has no efect on the existing tax on stock dividend and certain interest income, called the “Hall income tax.” But Kelsey cited the amendment’s 66 to 34 percent approval and said, “Now it’s time to eliminate the Hall tax.” His bill would keep the Hall tax at 6 percent through

2015, cut it to 4 percent in 2016, 2 percent in 2017 and eliminate it in 2018. But it’s likely to put the senator on a collision course with Gov.

It generates about $270 million a year, and 5/8ths of the revenue lows to the state and 3/8ths to the city or county where the taxpayer lives. “Given where we are right now, I don’t see a way for us to do away with the Hall income tax. ... I don’t think it’s a good tax but I can’t take $270 million out of our budget without something to replace it,” Haslam said.

Politics ANALYSIS

All good for GOP in Volunteer State By Kyle Veazey veazey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2799

2014 MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Red tide sweeps nation, Tennessee follows suit Alexander, Corker will get chairmanships of Republican-controlled Senate panels By Michael Collins collinsm@shns.com 202-408-2711

WASHINGTON — The Republicans’ strong showing during the Nov. 4 elections will not only give the party control of both chambers in the new Congress that convenes next year, but it also will give Tennessee more inluence in Washington. Tennessee’s two U.S. senators — Republicans Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker — are expected to become chairmen of two high-proile committees that will put them at the center of some of the most important and contentious issues and policy discussions in Washington. Alexander, elected to a third term in a 30-point rout over Democrat Gordon Ball, will take the reins of the Senate committee that has jurisdiction over health care, education and pensions. With incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promising to dismantle the Afordable Care Act “root and branch,” Alexander’s position as chairman of the health committee will give him a signiicant role in helping to shape that debate and others. “Republicans in the Senate are ready to hit the ground running with proposals to grow jobs, turn our health care system in the direction of more choices and lower costs, return

control over our public schools to communities and classroom teachers, and put an end to the Obama administration’s unconstitutional overreach into so many areas of Americans’ lives,” said Alexander, who carried every Tennessee county except heavily Democratic Davidson County in the Nov. 4 elections. Corker, who already serves as the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is poised to take over as chairman of that panel next year, giving him an important voice in the nation’s foreign policy. Speaking at an event in Knoxville on Nov. 5, Corker said he was thrilled with the results of the election, but added that it comes with “considerable responsibility to govern responsibly” and to “actually solve problems.” Tennessee’s reach in Washington won’t be limited to the Senate. In the House, U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, R-Johnson City, is often mentioned as a possible chairman of either the House Education and the Workforce Committee or the House Veterans Afairs Committee. Given Roe’s background — he’s a Vietnam War-era veteran who has made veterans’ concerns one of his signature issues — chairmanship of the Veterans Afairs Committee seems more likely

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. celebrates with Tom Ingram after it was announced Nov. 4 that he will retain his seat in the U.S. Senate.

within his reach. U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Ooltewah, is expected to stay on the House Appropriations Committee, which gives him a say in how the federal government spends its money. Fleischmann is the only Tennessean with a coveted seat on the committee. Tom Ingram, a political consultant who formerly served as Alexander’s chief of staf, said there’s no question that Tennessee will gain inluence in the new Congress, particularly with Alexander and Corker taking over committee chairmanships. “You’ve got two senators who are in very key positions

nationally, who are known for their ability to work across the aisle and who are committed to getting things done, which is what I think the vote was about,” Ingram said. “It’s a great opportunity, while at the same time it’s a great challenge. It’s like the old proverbial dog that caught the car. You better be sure of your grip or it’ll ling you of.” Perhaps another sign that Washington is paying closer attention to Tennessee after the election: Gov. Bill Haslam, easily elected to a second term Nov. 4, was one of two dozen candidates who got a latenight, congratulatory call from President Barack Obama.

The question to Tennessee Republican Party chairman Chris Devaney was as logical as it was painful for state Democrats, a huge chunk of whom live here in Shelby County: Is this the best time in modern memory to be a Republican in the Volunteer State? “The past few years, it seems like we’ve reached that pinnacle every election cycle,” Devaney said Nov. 5. “And now we’ve hit another milestone.” Nov. 4, Tennessee voters from Bristol to Memphis delivered Devaney and his crew another decisive win. These are the headiest of times for the Republican Party in Tennessee, and it isn’t just about the top-line ofices. Sure, those ofer plenty of bragging rights: a Republican governor, two Republican senators and seven of nine members of the congressional delegation. And while Amendment 1 didn’t fall along D/R lines, “Yes” certainly aligned with conservatives’ thoughts, and it breezed into law. But the real boast of the state Republicans lies in two areas: dominance in the General Assembly and the shambles of the opposition. In the statehouse beginning next session, Republicans will work with almost unthinkable majorities: 28-5 in the Senate, 73-26 in the House. The Democratic caucus is so small in the Senate that the running joke involves the brand of car — the smaller, the funnier — in which it can comfortably meet. Here’s how quickly it happened, too: As late as 2008, the state House still had a Democratic majority. And then there’s the state Democratic Party, whose chairman, former West Tennessee state Sen. Roy Herron, is departing. The party failed to recruit a credible candidate to the governor’s race this year, and while Gordon Ball ran a spunky campaign for U.S. Senate, Lamar Alexander beat him by 30-points. The party’s brightest lights for the future are probably newly elected senators Lee Harris and Jef Yarbro. And I know what you’re saying: Politics are cyclical. Things change. Which may be true, of course. But Devaney and his crew have a substantial ground game in the works. He isn’t talking about maintaining the party’s status in the state; he’s talking about expanding it.

BALLOT MEASURE

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

Grocery wine vote sweeps all 78 ballots

Lawsuit seeks to nullify vote on Amendment 1

Legislature may consider early start

locker@commercialappeal.com 615-255-4923

By Richard Locker locker@commercialappeal.com 615-255-4923

NASHVILLE — Voters on Nov. 4 approved wine sales in food stores in all 78 Tennessee towns, cities and counties where it was on the ballot — a sweep so big it may prompt state legislators to consider allowing wine in food stores sooner than the 2016 date written into law. The wine law approved earlier this year that cleared the way for last week’s referendums delays wine sales in food stores to July 1, 2016 — a key provision in a compromise with liquor retailers that led to the law’s passage after seven consecutive years of efforts in the Legislature. In return, liquor stores were allowed to start selling

beer, tobacco, party foods and accessories starting July 1 of this year. But the unanimous results, and the large victory margins in most of the referendums, will likely prompt lawmakers to consider moving up the efective date, Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, R-Blountville, said last month. Liquor retailers are virtually certain to oppose moving the date up, and the outcome is uncertain. Rep. Jon Lundberg, the Bristol Republican who sponsored the wine referendum bill this year, agreed. But he said he won’t sponsor a bill to move up the efective date because he agreed to the compromise and is honorbound to it. “I will not carry it because I was part of the agreement. But where it passes, people will want it sooner rather than later and lawmakers will hear

that,” Lundberg said. “Literally, people are driving across the (state’s) border and they’re not doing it to save sales tax, they’re doing it for convenience. As a sales-tax-base state, we depend on that.” Last Tuesday’s results also are likely to encourage more petition drives for referendums to be held in more than two dozen smaller towns that are eligible to hold them but didn’t this year — places where voters have already approved retail liquor stores or liquor by the drink in restaurants or both. In Shelby County, refer-

endums passed in Memphis, Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown and Millington. Lakeland voters approved liquor-bythe-drink in restaurants, a move that will make residents there eligible to hold a petition drive leading to a referendum for wine sales in food stores later. In Knox County, voters in Knoxville, Farrugut and the unincorporated areas of the county approved wine in food stores. Voters in Chattanooga and all ive of its suburbs where wine was on the ballot approved it, as did voters in Nashville and Goodlettsville in Davidson County.

NASHVILLE — A group of eight prominent Amendment 1 opponents, including one from Memphis, make up the list of plaintifs who iled a lawsuit late Friday seeking to block Nov. 4 vote results approving the measure. The suit, iled in U.S. District Court in Nashville, challenges the state’s method of simply determining whether the total number of votes in favor of Amendment 1 constitutes a majority of the total number of votes cast in the gubernatorial race. The votes are counted regardless of whether the voter also voted for a gubernatorial candidate on the same ballot. The suit claims “that tabulation method louts” the Tennessee Constitution’s mandate in Article XI, Section 3: “And if all the people shall approve

and ratify such amendment or amendments by a majority of all the citizens of the state voting for governor, voting in their favor, such amendment or amendments shall become a part of this Constitution.” Essentially, the plaintifs charge, only the votes of people who voted in the gubernatorial election should be tabulated in the amendment referendum. Supporters of the measure responded to the lawsuit, calling it “one more example of pro-abortion activists refusing to trust the common sense and compassion of Tennesseans who voted to approve Amendment 1,” said Brian Harris, president of Tennessee Right to Life and a coordinator for Yes on 1. “Even if you wrongly discount those who may have voted for Amendment 1 but not in the governor’s race, there is still a margin of almost 20,000 votes in favor of the amendment.”

Houston wins Reserve Grand for third consecutive year By Monty Crosby Special to The Weekly

At the Bandmaster’s Championship in Memphis, Houston High was named Reserve Grand Champion for the third consecutive year.

Germantown High School medical therapeutics classes had guest speakers visit from the University of Tennessee Health Science Nurse Anesthetist Program. Some of the topics they spoke about were educational requirements, job description, duties and responsibilities of a nurse anesthetist. The students also were given the opportunity to intubate a mannequin.

Dogwood students were asked to say no to drugs by wearing speciic things every day of the week. Tyler LaGasse, Presley LaGasse, Katie Carayiannis, Ella Seger, Taylor Carey and Isabelle West wore their clothes backward, inside out and mismatched for “Don’t Let Drugs Turn Your Life Inside Out” day. With a motto of faith, knowledge and service, it is obvious that Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School values exhibiting Christian values as much as academic achievement. Each quarter, one student is chosen from each grade, fourth through eighth, who has been Christian to others through their actions and words. For the irst quarter, Grace Stehle, Grayden McFadden, Will Griith, Will Brown and Emma Unger were recognized for positive attitudes, generosity, humility, friendship, and being the hands of Christ in the community.

Entomologist Allen Underwood visited kindergarten students at Bailey Station Elementary. Underwood discussed entomology and showed examples of how insects camoulage to adapt to their environment. He also explained why insects camoulage. Kindergarten students, including Ben Mettee, Kevin Albright, Kristina Payton and Azalea Hinson, were delighted when invited to browse and investigate exhibits of a wide variety of insects.

Tara Oaks Elementary recognizes leadership potential in its students and now ofers a leadership program to help develop those skills. The Leadership Academy is ofered to ifth graders who commit to regularly scheduled meetings and serve to model positive behavior for younger students. Students will attend a series of training sessions designed to help foster leadership.

Business SADDLE CREEK

Fate of fountain awaits Commission action G’town fixture might be relocated By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

A proposed addition to the Shops at Saddle Creek would uproot a fountain in Germantown, but city oicials say plans are in the works to save it. With a 5-3 vote last week, the city’s Planning Commission approved a 5,400 square-foot building to be built on the northeast corner of West Farmington Boulevard and Poplar Avenue. The is-

sue moves to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen’s Nov. 24 agenda. A parking lot and the fountain currently occupy the land between Starbucks and the end of the strip of retail stores along West Farmington. The building would be the next phase of Saddle Creek development, an addition to the construction taking place across the street. Economic and Community Development Director Cameron Ross said the fountain is owned by Saddle Creek, but could be donated to the city. One possibility for it, he said, is to move it across West Farmington to the other corner of the intersection

and to create a park around it. “It’s a ixture piece but in terms of being a gathering space and a community asset beyond its visual impact, it’s under-utilized,” Ross said. While the building will sit on the existing parking area, Ross said the area will be designed so the total loss of parking in the area is only ive spaces. The change, however, will require the aldermen to approve a variance. Planning Commission members balked at the variance on principle, leading to the dissenting votes on the overall project. Ross said the city does not know what businesses will go in any of the new Saddle Creek

construction. He said Trademark Property Company is in negotiations with its tenants and cannot release the information until leases are signed. The company’s executive vice president of development, Tony Chron, attended the Planning Commission meeting and said the tenants for the northeast corner by Starbucks will be cognizant of the limited space for deliveries and trash removal. The building would be just 11 feet from the edge of the roadway. “We have users identiied and we’ve been very careful to pick the right users for this particular corner because of all these types of criteria,” Chron said.

Across the street, on the southwest corner, the project is a $20 million “revamp” of 86,000 square feet and an addition of 20,000 square feet, Ross said. Construction has been underway for months, and is slated for a spring 2015 opening. Ross said the project is indicative of the Smart Growth vision for a growing central business district. “I think that the key to this is it’s incremental growth, waiting for the market and making sure the market is there and not just throwing things out there,” he said. “It is truly smart growth, looking for sustainable solutions and incremental growth.”

MY LIFE/MY JOB

Aaron, two children, Rocco and Calliope, and two cats Vanya and Jolene Education: BFA in theatre performance from the University of Memphis Civic involvement: I love volunteering at theaters around town, GCT and Theatre Memphis, especially.

First job: Honestly, I don’t remember. Let’s just say it had something to do with leaping buildings in a single bound. Most recent job: Operations director at Germantown Community Theatre/full-time mom Most satisfying career moment:

My job usually involves writing short informational pieces and ad copy. I was recently given the chance to share my love of play writing with my GCT family in the form of a new adaptation of “The Velveteen Rabbit.” It is currently in rehearsals and the fully

staged production begins Dec. 5 at GCT. Career advice: Always strive for a balance between standing up for what you believe is right for the company and what is best for the people within the company. This takes conviction, lexibility and (most importantly) empathy. Person you most admire (and why): My mom. She’s strong,

easy going, tireless and caring. My mother always served as a great example to me of what it takes to be a successful woman

while never losing sight of what is important (family).

Community FUNDRAISER

Scrabble tournament spells big bucks for Collierville Literacy Council

More than 25 teams showed up to play Scrabble at St. George’s Independent School this year to benefit the Collierville Literary Council.

PHOTOS BY CRAIG COLLIER/SPECIAL TO THE WEEKLY

The team “Your Words Against Mine” is made up of Mike Sansone, Kirsten Hall and Debbi Hicks. The team finished in third place.

WORDSMITHS By Craig Collier Special to The Weekly

he Collierville Literacy Council sponsored its 10th annual Scrabble Tournament FUNdraiser Nov. 9 at St. George’s Independent School’s Collierville campus.

Karen Ray, executive director of the Literacy Council, spoke about the efforts of the Collierville Literacy Council since its founding in 1987. “The literacy council was founded at that time when a group of concerned citizens in Collierville saw the need for additional literacy training,” she said. “A lot has changed since then. Instruction for those needing to learn English, as well as G.E.D. prep, is now provided for those living in Collierville and the surrounding area.” The Scrabble tournament is the literacy council’s largest fundraiser of the year and the money raised will help fund its ESL and GED programs. This year, 26 teams competed. The B-Tilers placed first with a score of 1,012. Scrabble Eggs came in a close second, finishing with 1,001 points and Your Word Against Mine came in third.

Although the food wasn’t the reason participants showed up, it sure didn’t hurt. Dozens of Scrabble players take a quick break to grab a few bites before the competition resumes.

The Awards Place team of Alice Adams, Jesse Adams and Patti Adams had to spend a few extra dollars to consult a dictionary.

Team Syzgy members Dwight Moore Jr., Nell Amberson and Geneva Simpson-Moore find the perfect spot to place their Scrabble tiles.

Sports HOUSTON 35, COLLIERVILLE 28

Mustangs nab first-round victory Houston to face Arlington Friday in Round 2 playof football action By Bill Sorrell Special to The Weekly

Prior to their Class 6A state playof game with Collierville, Houston players had been chanting “See you Monday.” “We pride ourselves on playing for one more day, especially all of our seniors playing for all of our brothers. That is what we were ighting for, one more time,” said Houston defensive lineman Reid Ostrom. Had it not been for a gameclinching interception with 10:21 left to play, it may have been see you later. Houston linebacker Zach Childress intercepted a slant-route pass by Collierville freshman quarterback Garrett Booth and raced 40 yards for a touchdown to power the Mustangs to a 3528 victory over the charged-up Dragons last Friday at Houston High School. Houston’s win sends the Mustangs (10-1) to Arlington (9-2) for a second-round playof game at 7 p.m. Friday. “I love the taste of it,” said Childress of the advancement. Making his irst game-winning interception of his career, Childress, a junior, said, “The ball went right to me. I got it and kept on running. I did not look back. It was the greatest feeling in my life. I am not going to lie.” The Dragons (6-5) had something to prove. “We wanted to prove to everybody that didn’t believe in us that we could play with them because they are not 28 points better than us,” said Collierville wide receiver Drew Van de Vuurst. The Mustangs won 49-21 on Oct. 24. Houston coach Will Hudgens said, “We knew they were going to come in and ight their butts of. Once you get into the playofs anything can happen.”

Playing with an ofense that had been installed for three weeks because of a knee injury to starting quarterback Alex Hicks, Booth was exceptional in leading the Dragons to a 14-0 lead. He threw touchdown passes to Van de Vuurst of 75 and 10 yards. Van de Vuurst, who runs the 40 in 4.5 seconds, scored the 75-yarder on the third play of the game. Collierville coach Mike O’Neill said he was hoping to limit Houston’s powerful ofense to 21 points. The Mustangs had 14 when they rallied to tie on a 5-yard touchdown run by Colby Cartwright, who would be the Mustangs’ leading rusher with 44 yards. Earlier, Houston quarterback Jared Schmidt scored on a 1-yard keeper with 1:22 left in the irst quarter. “We deinitely came out with our heads a little too high,” said Schmidt, who remained calm despite the deicit. “What I do after they (opponents) score a touchdown, I tell them (defense) it’s not over yet. They as sure as anything showed that. This is one night where I can sit there and look to our “D” and say it’s all them. Our ofense put up some points, but our defense came through when it mattered the biggest.” Collierville had taken a 21-14 lead in the second quarter on Van de Vuurst’s 30-yard touchdown reception from Booth. He inished with 115 yards on three catches. “The fact that it might be my last game, I wanted to leave it all out on the ield. I think we had more ire. We were more focused. As seniors, we didn’t want it to end right now,” Van de Vuurst said. In what Childress termed a turning point, Schmidt threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Em-

PAT. “Emmett made his plays when his number was called,” said

Hudgens. So did Collierville running back Peyton McCay, a sophomore who rushed for a gamehigh 173 yards on 27 carries. His 5-yard touchdown put the Dragons back on top midway through the third quarter 28-21. “I wanted to give back to them. The seniors have got so much great leadership. I wanted to do as much as I could for my team and do my job,” said McCay. It was Schmidt’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Clark Anderson that tied the game at 28 late in the third quarter. Schmidt completed 17 of 23 passes for 191 yards. “Unfortunately we gave up some in the passing game. The pick-six was a dagger. Sometimes you live by the pass; sometimes you die by the pass. It happens,” said O’Neill.

RECOGNIZED BY THEBESTSCHOOLS.ORG FOR:

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE EXTRACURRICULAR RICHNESS CHRISTIAN FAITH TAKEN SERIOUSLY At Ridge Lake, Ms. Landy’s second graders have be been learning about the eye in science. Along with a partner, each student used a numbered wi white collar to measure his or her ield of vision wh an and to understand peripheral vision. They covered up one eye to see how it changed their depth perception while walking up stairs. The children pe used a lashlight to watch the iris change the size us of the pupil, and they also used a magnifying class for a closer look at the eye and for understanding fo the th shape of the lens in the eye. The second graders used their prisms to see and draw the color spectrum and to chase the light spectrums around the classroom. Looking at optical illusions, the students learned that sometimes things are not what they seem to be to our brain. They learned the parts of the eye and how they work together so we can see. They all agreed that two eyes are better than one eye for seeing and came to the conclusion that our eyes were created by an amazing God!

HIStory Xtravaganza

Antarctica-ECS 4th Grade Connection Forest Hill fourth grade recently went on a ield trip and visited with Ms. Alex Eilers at the Pink Palace who will be going to Antarctica to study Weddell seals in November and December. She talked to them about Weddell seals and the students will be able to track her journey and observations online as well as ask her questions. Some of the fourth graders gave her self-addressed post cards that she will mail back to them from Antarctica. The group also gave her a lag that was painted by Mrs. Smith and signed by each of the fourth graders. It will be lown at some point in Antarctica, featured on her web page, and returned to the students!

EXPERIENCE ECS: Grades 6-12 8:30am-10:30am January 21, 2015 – Macon Campus

The ECS band beat their drums and boldly played their instruments as they welcomed Forest Hill and Ridge Lake guests to the Macon campus on Friday, October 31, for the Social Studies Xtravaganza. “L’e’tat, c’est moi. I am the State!” said French King Louis IV Martin Luther was there, nailing his 95 Theses to the door,Christopher Columbus stared through his telescope, and Betsy Ross busily sewed the American lag. Also in attendance were Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth I, Ulysses Grant, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jane Austen, and Marie Antoinette trying to hold onto her head. William Wallace, a.k.a. Middle School Principal Chuck Smith, amused the audience as he walked down the aisle in a Scottish kilt, blue face paint and a giant sword to the sound of bagpipes.

Houston guard commits to Western Ky. By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Even on a day when he could have allowed himself a little latitude and a chance to breathe easier, Marlon Hunter was still putting in the work that’s made him one of the top seniors in the area. Hunter, a standout 6-3 guard at Houston, verbally committed to Western Kentucky last Thursday afternoon. Then it was practice, followed by an additional two hours of shooting work with his uncle, Carlos Lambert. “That’s where my determination comes from, my uncle,” said Hunter. “He’s been like a father igure in my life. “We practice two hours, sometimes 2½ and then I

do another two hours on my own. Every day. I don’t leave t he gym until 10 at night.” H u n t e r , Marlon who trans- Hunter ferred to Houston from Melrose before his junior season, picked the Hilltoppers over a list of schools that included Northern Arizona, East Tennessee State, DePaul and TennesseeMartin, where his old Golden Wildcats coach, Jermaine Johnson, is now an assistant. “That was the hardest part of my decision,” he said of turning down UT Martin to commit to WKU. “I love the atmosphere

at Western Kentucky. And they have four seniors leaving after this year so I’ve got a chance to come in and play early. And I love the coaching staf; they’re going to push me to the limit.” The Hilltoppers are getting a high-energy player who plays well without the ball and who can knock down shots. Hunter was an all-metro choice last season after leading District 15-AAA in scoring at nearly 21 points per game.

“MasterChef Junior” contestant Logan Gulef (left) of Memphis works with judge Graham Elliot on the set of the show during ilming in Los Angeles.

SHOWTIME Memphian Logan Gulef debuts on ‘MasterChef Junior’ By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

ometimes a bit of envy can lead to a good thing. Consider Logan Gulef, Memphis’ young gourmand, who has won cooking contests, eaten lunch at the White House, has his own line of spices, is working on a cookbook — and made his national television premiere last Tuesday on “MasterChef Junior.”

“I was really jealous of all the people who competed in “MasterChef Junior” the irst season — this is only the second season — so when we found out they were auditioning in Dallas, we went,” he said. Unlike the “MasterChef” auditions that were recently held in Memphis, the kids didn’t have to prepare a dish. “It’s diferent,” said Kim Gulef, Logan’s mother. “They have a secret kind of test they give them, but it’s one of the things we can’t talk about. We also did a home video.” A week before shooting started in Los Angeles, the call came. “They tell you to prepare for an eight-week stay,” Kim said. How long they stayed is, of course, top secret. But ilming is done and while a winner has been named, we’ll have to tune in to ind out if Logan takes home the title of MasterChef Junior — and a hefty prize of $100,000. Here’s how it works. There are 16 contestants, all kids ages 8-13 (Logan is 12 but was 11 during ilming), and one or two are eliminated on every episode. They compete with each other by creating recipes from a mystery box of ingredients, but there’s a bit more to it than just cooking. “Every show brings a new challenge and an opportunity to earn an advantage,” Kim explained. “It’s part game show, part unscripted reality show. With knives.” It’s a Gordon Ramsay show, he of “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Kitchen Nightmares,” “Hotel Hell” and “MasterChef.” He’s one of the judges; the other two are restaurateurs Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot. The latter is Logan’s favorite. “Graham is deinitely the nicest of the three,” he said. “He’s the kind of guy who wouldn’t hurt a ly. “And then there’s Gordon,” he continued. “He can be, well, a little critical, but in the end, it’s for your own good.”

MEDITERRANEAN PORK LOIN

What happened on the set stays on the set, but Logan is happy to talk about the show in broad terms. “You go in and they’re like ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ and ‘it’s so awesome,’” he said. “ ‘One of you, but only one of you, will win everything in the world that you could ever want.’ ” Logan And while of course there is a winner, Gulef Kim said the elimination of contestants was the hard part. “Every day someone gets cut,” she said. “If you’re safe, you’re relieved, but it could be that your friend is not. Every day someone is crying. “But all those kids knew what they were doing. They cooked their little kid pants of.” Logan said it was the judging that stands out to him. “It’s such a great but nerve-wracking experience, because of the celebrity chefs. It was nerve-wracking every day.” He’s OK under pressure, though. This is the kid who shook President Barack Obama’s hand in the White House when he attended a lunch there after winning a state contest when he was 10. The kid who, at 9, traveled to New York to compete when his recipe made the cut for a Jif peanut butter contest. He’s toured some of the inest restaurant kitchens in town, and has cooked in some of them. He’s been behind the scenes at Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Tsunami, Restaurant Iris and was impressed by Elwood’s Shack, both the back of the house and the fact that he was “made” as Logan the food blogger by a server there (his blog, where he reviews restaurants, is orderupwithlogan.blogspot.com). He cooked lamb shanks with Jamal Douba, owner of Petra. “He did great,” Douba said. “I was afraid he might hurt himself and I told him to please be careful, that I have very big, sharp knives, but he was very careful, very conscientious. I think Logan, he is going to be a good chef. I will be watching and I hope he wins.” Last week Logan hooked up with Elliott again when he was invited to attend Game 6 of the World Series in Kansas City. During the Game 7 pregame show, he was on television, convincing fans in the stands to try certain concession foods. It’s a skill he hones at home, where he creates new recipes almost daily. His latest spice is a dry rub that tastes like Louisiana hot sauce (and has a kick in the back of the throat). He’s playing with a rose-infused salt to season a scallop dish, but hasn’t perfected it yet. “I bought him some rose water and thought maybe he’d make a panna cotta or something,” Kim said. “Instead he pulls out some special salt and decides to make rose salt. Sometimes it’s strange being Logan’s mom.”

Serves 6 to 8. INGREDIENTS

¼ cup high-end green olives, pitted ¼ cup kalamata olives ½ cup feta cheese in oil 6-8 — 1 —

roasted garlic cloves half bunch fresh parsley small sprig rosemary optional Salt and black pepper ¼ cup olive oil 3-4 pound pork loin DIRECTIONS

Group champions eat-more-fish campaign in Memphis By Kevin McKenzie mckenzie@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2348

Public health advocates and the ishing industry are joining forces to promote a common goal: getting Memphians to eat seafood twice a week. Two factors made Memphis one of the irst two pilot cities for The Seafood Nutrition Partnership, a group based in Arlington, Va., that organized public oicials, celebrity chefs and health fairs featuring Omega-3 screenings in October to promote the health beneits of consuming ish. One is that the American Heart Association ranks Tennessee as the eighth highest among states for death rates from

cardiovascular disease. Arkansas is ifth and Mississippi is No. 1. Another factor that brought the campaign to Memphis is that the executive director of the partnership, Linda Cornish, was once vice president for member development at the Greater Memphis Chamber, where she worked from 2006-2010, and was one of the founders of the Memphis Farmers Market. The relationships she built in Memphis led her to make it a pilot city, Cornish said. Those forged by a celebrity board member of the group, former NBA player Detlef Schrempf, made Indianapolis the other pilot city. “When you start a grassroots program, it deinitely

helps to have relationships,” said Cornish, 43, a former Andersen consultant. While not all ish are created equal and frying is not recommended, some such as tuna, salmon, mackerel and sardines are high in Omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce bad cholesterol and raise the good, said Jessica VanCleave, registered dietitian with Church Health Center Wellness and media chairwoman for the Memphis Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Despite the health qualities of ish, most Americans resisted eating more seafood but favored chicken. While national beef consumption has lattened at 57.4 pounds per person, the American Meat Insti-

Memphis chef Jennifer Chandler starts to assemble a red snapper dish during a recent celebrity chef cook-of at L’Ecole Culinaire.

tute noted, chicken trended up, doubling since 1970 to 81.3 pounds per person by 2012. Meanwhile, fish and shellfish consumption slipped nearly 5 percent

between 2004 and 2010 to 15.8 pounds per person, although the American Heart Association and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommended eating ish at least two

times weekly. “Even after a couple of years, only one in ive Americans do that and 80 percent of Americans don’t follow the dietary guidelines,” Cornish said. “So this nonproit is promoting the health beneits of seafood and reducing the risk of heart disease by 30 to 50 percent.” Falling consumption energized the industry. The campaign’s roots started with frustrated members of a seafood trade association, the National Fisheries Institute, based in McLean, Virginia. “That’s what we hope to bring to Memphis is the business case that if you show people how to eat healthier, they will live longer and healthier,” Cornish said.

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB MUSEUM OF THE DOG

The American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in Queeny Park in St. Louis shows a visitor looking at museum exhibits accompanied by her dog. The museum is filled with dog art — paintings, sculptures, porcelain figures and more — and visitors are allowed to bring leashed dogs along on their visits.

DOGGIED PURSUIT If you like this museum, just whistle; dogs as well as humans may view the art

BETH J. HARPAZ/ASSOCIATED PRESS

A sculpture of hounds with a huntmaster is shown at the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog. An upcoming lecture will cover Jim the Wonder Dog, of Missouri, who gained fame in the 1930s for supposedly being able to predict competition winners and the sex of unborn babies.

By Beth J. Harpaz Associated Press

xhibits include dog paintings, dog sculptures and displays about famous dogs. But what really makes this St. Louis museum unique is the visitors: Dogs are welcome, and curators aren’t worried about the canines knocking things over or making a mess. “We do it and have been doing it for many years, and to my knowledge it’s never caused a problem,” said Stephen George, executive director of the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog.

“The dogs are trained and socialized well. Little dogs, big dogs, in-between dogs. ... We have dogs here virtually every day,” he said, adding with a laugh that people are more likely to cause problems in museums. The museum, housed in an 1853 historic home in Queeny Park, is ailiated with the American Kennel Club. Its exhibits include a Hall of Fame that honors champion dogs from various competitions, along with dogs from pop culture, such as Rin Tin Tin, and service dogs of distinction, like those that have done search-andrescue work. The museum also hosts guest dogs so visitors can learn about various breeds, and ofers space for dog club meetings and dog trainings.

babies. The museum was founded in 1982 in New York City, but moved to St. Louis a few years later. George, who took over the museum about a year ago, says the museum is still relatively unknown. It attracts about 10,000 visitors annually, but he hopes to broaden the outreach. One of the most striking things about dog paintings is how hard it is to guess their age. When art depicts people or objects, there are often clues to the era from dress or décor. But a dog painted in the 19th century may not appear all that diferent from a dog painted in the 21st century. The museum relies on donations and bequests, and it doesn’t claim to have a comprehensive survey of famous dog art — there are no William Wegman Weimaraners, or Cassius Marcellus Coolidge’s images of hounds playing poker. But it does have some noteworthy pieces, including Maud Earl’s “Great Dane at the Seashore,” and several 1830s works by Edwin Landseer, who painted Queen Victoria’s dogs. There are also unusual artifacts: century-old dog collars, a carved canine from a 19th century carousel, even antique dog toys. As for the numerous displays of porcelain igurines, George says they are all ine art — including Royal Doulton pieces — not the “kitschy stuf” found in gift shops or grandma’s curio cabinet. “There are a lot of works that people don’t understand that we have here, so it’s an awakening experience for a lot of people,” he said.

Community DAVIES MANOR Kelly Young’s quilt was on display throughout the three-day quilt and iber show at Hillwood. The Germantown resident is a member of the Memphis Area Modern Quilt Guild.

Quilters, Felicya Parcels (left) and Linda Torri, both of Bartlett, appreciate the work that went into the many quilts on display at the three-day show, including the wall quilt named “On the Cat Walk” by Valerie Giles of Mt. Barker, South Australia.

Davies Manor hosts annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show By Kim Odom Special to The Weekly

All the quilts were hung by stafers with care knowing that the Davies Manor Association’s 18th annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show and Sale soon would be there. Just a couple of days before the show was open to the public various quilts were delivered for display for the Nov. 7-9 event. There were quilts of all genres, from antique to contemporary, on display for the show at Hillwood at Davies Plantation. Patterned, appliquéd and pieced quilts brightened up the inside of Hillwood spotlighting quilters from quilt and iber guilds of the Mid-South and other areas. Modern quilters, Carolyn Bledsoe of Collierville, Kelly Young of Germantown, Janet Middlekauf of Cordova and members of the Memphis Area Modern Quilt Guild, formed in May 2013, were irst-time participants of the annual show. The group of quilters had everything on hand needed to demonstrate their modern technique. Young, secretary of the MQG, said, “We welcome the guests to sit right down and learn our modern method of improvisational piecing.” As for the technique of the MQG, Young describes it as more of a method than a true plan for sewing. Young created her quilt on display at Hillwood from her scraps. “Creating something unexpectedly beautiful,” she said. Young, Middlekauf and Bledsoe, the newest quilter of the bunch, agree that being part of the show has been a great opportunity to share their work. As of last Saturday afternoon, the MQG had picked up two new members after seeing a demonstration of the modern technique. The MQG meets the irst Saturday of every month, 2-5 p.m. Meeting details are available on their Facebook page or themodernquiltguild.com. In addition to quilters showcasing their pieces, there were various types of needle and hand work including weaving and spinning, and a number of vendors displayed their handy craftwork including jewelry, rag rugs, Christmas gifts, dolls, woodworking and more. As guests shopped and browsed the various quilts, they narrowed down their pick for the Viewer’s Choice Ballot for a Best of Show winner in each show category including weaving, mixed techniques, pieced machine quilted, pieced hand quilted, vintage, clothing and accessories, hand applique, hand quilted, wall quilts, holiday, and applique machine quilted. As they shopped and mingled with other quilt enthu-

siasts everyone enjoyed the beautiful sound of the harp played by Bill Butner, a local artist and Bartlett resident. Outside on the plantation grounds, re-enactors presented live demonstrations of the way of life for our ancestors. Cordova resident, John Spain reenacted the Tennessee Militia to New Orleans in the Battle of New Orleans carrying a British Brown Bess musket. Guests touring the grounds visited the historic dogtrot-style log cabin that was moved to Davies from Libertyland in 2006, as well as tenant cabins, and the

Plant A Row for the Hungry Garden cared for by Memphis area Master Gardeners. The garden was full of fall and winter greens like broccoli, turnip greens, kale, as well as carrots, garlic and more. Produce from the garden is donated to charitable organizations. At Davies Manor, the two-story historic home at Davies Plantation, docents Virginia Shelton of Arlington and Stacie Shelton of Cordova, were dressed in historic garb as they greeted guests coming to tour the home. Visitors got a peek into the daily life during pioneer days before elec-

tricity provided the comforts of airconditioning and other amenities like indoor plumbing. Tying everything together were the quilts displayed inside, outside and all around Davies Plantation for the annual quilt and iber show. As a docent of Davies Manor for seven years, Stacie Shelton says the quilts on loan for display throughout Davies Plantation add even more character to the hobby of quilting — a hobby that was common in the pioneer days and continues today.

Snowdrops bring ephemeral joy to dark, cold days When it comes to spring bulbs, snowdrops are often left out in the cold, at least in our region. Several reasons may account for our ignorance of this worthy plant. The nodding white flowers of Galanthus nivalis appea r as early as January CHRISTINE but most ARPE often in Fe b r u a r y GANG — times GREEN THUMB when many of us would rather be warm and cozy indoors than outdoors searching for elusive garden delights. In some climates, snowdrops emerge through the snow to ind the sun and their admiring fans. When snowdrops are happy, they reseed so readily that in time they will be so thick with blooms that they also resemble snowfall when none has been provided. Because they are relatively small — about 4 to 10 inches tall with lowers 1 inch long or smaller — and hide their colorful parts inside their bell-shaped lowers, it’s easy to dismiss them as hardly worth the bother. But after hearing Brian Duncan discuss their popularity in the United Kingdom, I’m ready to plant a few and see if they capture my heart. Duncan, one of the most highly respected bulb experts in the U.K. and worldwide, spoke about snowdrops and dafodils recently at Dixon Gallery and Gardens. Unusual varieties of the little white darlings have almost a cult following in the U.K. and can command big prices. A single bulb of the variety Elizabeth Harrison fetched 750 pounds (about $1,125) on an eBay auction two years ago when it was proclaimed “the world’s most expensive bulb.” Collectors value EH for the vibrant yellow markings on the exterior where the lower hangs from the scape and on the inner petals. Elizabeth Harrison is probably the

The nodding white flowers of snowdrops are among the first flowers to emerge from the cold soil in January and February. Unusual varieties of snowdrops are prized during the long winters of the United Kingdom.

utmost example of what Brits call “seriously good snowdrops.” “People travel for miles on freezing dark winter days to admire them, often kneeling in snow or wet soil to see inside them,” Duncan said. Galanthophiles gather in clubs devoted to the appreciation of these ephemeral beauties. Some of them carry “peep sticks,” or canes with a mirror at the bottom, so they see the interiors of the lower without bending over. Throughout the British Isles, public gardens draw fans to “Snowdrop Days” celebrating their arrival. Especially prized are double-lowering varieties such as Flora Pleno and Sybil Roberta and “greenies,”which have green markings on the petals as well as the interior of the lower. Sam Arnott is a green variety recommended in the catalog for Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, an online company in Virginia that supplies bulbs to Dixon Gallery and Gardens. “We have several patches of snowdrops in the woodland garden, and I’d like to have some more,” said Dale Skaggs, Dixon’s director of horticul-

ture. “In fact, I’m going to order some right now so they will be blooming when I do my winter walk program next year. I love the garden in winter.” Dan West Garden Centers at 4763 Poplar and 12061 U.S. 64 in Eads are selling packages of ive snowdrop bulbs for $7.99. It’s best to plant them in or near a wooded area where they will get much sun in the winter and light shade in other seasons. Now is the time to install them so the tops of the bulbs are 2 to 3 inches deep and about 3 inches apart. (If you know of any other local sources for snowdrops, let me know at chrisagang@hotmail.com so I can publicize them next week.) You can order snowdrop bulbs from brentandbeckysbulbs.com (877661-2852) or from other seed and bulb companies. Members of the Mid-South Dafodil Society plan to sell them at their next sale in fall 2015. Who knows? Maybe snowdrops will begin to pop up more often in public and home gardens all around the Mid-South.
