Early this year, a random sample of 2,300 Germantown residents were asked to respond to the City’s 2015 community survey. With a 22 percent response rate, results of the survey are considered statistically valid and representative of the entire community. Of those who responded, 99 percent rated Germantown as an excellent or good place to live. New to this year’s survey, respondents were asked to rate their willingness to recommend Germantown as a place to live. Known as a net promoter score, this measure is used across industries to measure customer satisfaction. In order to understand this score, city analysts sought comparisons from the top performers across several industries. With a calculated net promoter score of 77, Germantown outperforms many of these top performers, including Apple (72), Southwest Airlines (66) and Marriott hotels (62). The city falls just behind Costco (78) and USAA Insurance (80). Overall results of the survey are overwhelmingly positive. Ninety-seven percent of respondents are happy with the safety of living in Germantown compared to other cities, and 96 percent of respondents are satisied with the overall image and reputation of the city. Ninety-four percent of respondents are satisied with the cleanliness and mainte-

New Day Children’s Theatre named Leanne Chasteen as its new executive director/CEO. Noelle Dunavant has been named chief inancial oicer for the local non-proit. New Day Children’s Theatre was started in March 2006 by a group of theater supporters who felt the children of Collierville and the surrounding area deserved a theater dedicated to them. Since opening, New Day has served more than 2,000 children,
produced 30 mainstage shows and hosted numerous camps and workshops. The theater is run by volunteers. “Working with Noelle and Leanne I have seen their passion for the arts and know that they have poured so much of their lives into this program and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish as we continue to move forward with our growth and opportunities in the world of Children’s Theatre,” said Sam Gibson, New Day board member.

Collierville, Houston High land on tough list Schools deemed ‘most challenging’ By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372
Collierville High and Germantown’s Houston High School were two of 12 Tennessee high schools to make The Washington Post’s list of the country’s most challenging high schools. The list, released last week,
includes any public high school with at least a one-to-one ratio of college-level classes taken per graduating student. The top school in the country was BASIS Oro Valley, in Oro Valley, Arizona, with more than 20 advanced classes per graduating student. Houston was ranked the 953rd hardest school with a 2.435-to-one ratio, and Collierville was ranked 1,052nd with a 2.307-to-one ratio. That puts both schools in the top 5 percent in the country out of
Germantown Police Reports
roughly 22,000 public schools. The list included about 10 percent of all schools. Magnet and charter high schools were only included if they do not draw a high concentration of top students that skew their average ACT and SAT results above a 29 or 2000, respectively. While the data also displays each school’s percentage of students who qualify for the federal free and reduced school lunch program, that did not factor into the rankings. Only 12 schools in Tennes-
see — out of a total of roughly 2,300 nationwide — made the list. Arkansas had 74 schools on the list, but Mississippi just one, located in Biloxi. Germantown Municipal School District Supt. Jason Manuel said the rankings are nice to see, but are not the district’s focus. He said the biggest question is, “Are (students) successful when they leave our campus, for whatever they choose to do?” The school boasts a 96 percent rate for students who grad-
uate from Houston and enroll in either a two- or four-year degree program. Houston ofers 26 advanced placement or dual-enrollment classes in areas including physics, economics, government, studio art, foreign languages and history, according to the school’s website. Collierville’s website lists 28 advanced placement and dual-enrollment classes, with a large focus on foreign languages and both macro and microeconomics.

While others in the room snifled and dabbed tears from their eyes, Viola Turner and James Wibbenmeyer simply hugged. Quietly and movingly, they embraced for the better part of a minute, until Turner reached not for tissues, but something she wanted even more: a stethoscope. Stepping back slightly in the oice of the Mid-South Transplant Foundation Friday afternoon, Turner pressed the instrument against the chest of the 66-year-old Wibbenmeyer. She could scarcely believe what she heard. She was listening to the beating of her murdered son’s heart. Albert Spencer Jr. was 20 years old — a studious, hardworking young man with a seemingly bright future — when he was struck by a bullet intended for someone else at a Hickory Hill apartment complex on Jan. 12, 2013. Rushed to the hospital, he was placed on a ventilator and later pronounced brain-dead, dying four days after the shooting. Unbeknown to his family, Spencer had designated on his driver’s license that he was an organ donor. And as a result, Wibbenmeyer, a retired construction worker and building inspector in Perryville, Mo., who sufered from congestive heart

failure, didn’t become one of the average 18 people a day who die waiting for an organ transplant. “It shows the big heart that my son had,” Turner said during a meeting of the donor and recipient family members. “It’s the gift of life,” added Wibbenmeyer, one of four people who received vital organs from Spencer, who also donated both kidneys and his liver. Held near the end of National Donate Life Month, the get-together was a rarity, foundation oicials say. Usually, members of the donor family are reluctant to meet the recipient, fearing it would reopen emotional wounds from their loved one’s passing. But Turner, 42 and now living in Jonesboro, Ark., prayed for the opportunity. “I wanted to meet the person

that has my son’s heart,” she said. Beginning three months ago, Turner spoke with Wibbenmeyer and his family by phone. From the lengthy calls, she developed a clear take on him. “He’s a loving person, he’s a family man. He’s a Christian — I can tell he loves God,” Turner said just before the meeting. Wibbenmeyer, who made the 200-mile trip to Memphis with his wife, son and other family members, found Turner to be warm and outgoing — “everything that I expected.” He walks with the help of a cane and sufers other health problems. “But the heart has worked just ine,” he said, adding that he hopes to get healthy enough to go ishing again soon. For Turner, the knowledge that Albert’s heart has saved another person alleviates “about 90 percent” of her grief over his death. A 2011 graduate of Southwind High School, Albert worked at FedEx, where he had been promoted, and, having inished a year at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluf, won acceptance to the nursing program at Phillips Community College in Helena, Ark. He also had a iancée. “He was funny, he was outgoing ...,” Turner said. In addition to Albert’s big heart, she misses his preternatural wisdom and maturity, which enabled him to inspire others. “He would talk to me as if he was 30 or 40 or 50 years old,” she added. Because of Albert’s example, several members of his family and church have signed on to become organ donors.

New policy allows city to borrow more
The city of Germantown could move forward with bond sales for two new school facilities after the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a revised debt management plan Monday night. The change allows the city to borrow as much as $50 million in addition to the $24 million in generalfund debt the city currently bears, and to be able to pay it back over 30 years instead of 20. The vote was 4-0, with Alderman John Barzizza absent. School leaders have presented rough plans to the city for an expansion of Riverdale School to eliminate the 22 aging portable classrooms behind the school, and adding a fourth elementary school to the district. The total cost for both has been estimated at around $23 million — about $7 million for Riverdale and $15 million for the new elementary school, to serve the south side of the city. The estimated costs do not include purchasing land. The aldermen have not approved either project to move forward. Jennifer pignolet

The man then led in a gray Ford Windstar van with a license plate beginning with 660, that was driven by another person, Bright said. No detailed description of either suspect was available.

STARTS TODAY! TAKE AN EXTRA Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo (center) and his staf led a survey, polling Germantown residents about how well the city is run. Ninety-nine percent of those polled called Germantown “an excellent or good place to live.”
SURVEY from 1 nance of the city and 93 percent of respondents are satisied with the city government’s overall job of providing high quality services. Other questions in the survey were basic and straight forward in asking about satisfaction with city services including police, ire, emergency medical, public works, parks, etc. Other questions addressed the quality of Germantown Municipal School District operations, the value of Germantown city services for tax dollars spent and overall satisfaction of city services. During a recent work session with the Board of Aldermen, Germantown Mayor Mike Palazzolo said, “We will keep working to sustain our high level of satisfaction, or improve even more.” Areas for potential improvement also were identiied in the survey.

We will keep working to sustain our high level of satisfaction, or improve even more.” Mike Palazzolo, mayor
government’s efforts to actively seek input from citizens, 69 percent were satisied with the efectiveness of the customer service center to communicate and resolve issues and only 70 percent are satisied with the quality of the yard waste collection services. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said, “The survey provides valuable feedback and information to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and city staf about community priorities, service satisfaction and the allocation of resources. The city uses this data to determine whether it’s meeting citizen ex-
pectations and where improvement is needed.” Community survey results are also an important ingredient in the city’s performance measurement program. Through this program, city staf track a variety of performance trends in city services. By monitoring the city’s performance, a determination can be made as to whether a service is improving or declining and whether there is a need to adjust resources in a particular area. The city of Germantown has conducted a survey of randomly selected residents each year since 2012. In 2011 a community-wide survey was conducted and has served as the bench mark for these statistically valid random samples. A downloadable PDF of the survey and the summary presentation are available on the city’s website at Germantown-TN. gov/2015survey.

COLLIERVILLE CHURCH OF CHRIST
Newest ministry on addiction begins with ‘Pressing Forward’ meeting Special to The Weekly
Collierville Church of Christ recently began its newest ministry, “Pressing Forward,” which is a weekly addition recovery program. The weekly course will use Roy Trent Childers’ book, “Pressing Forward: Bible Based Addiction Recovery,” as a companion to the new ministry. The addiction recovery meetings are Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at the church, 575 Shelton, in the eating area. Attendees will be given a free copy of “Pressing Forward” to help guide him/ her through the process of recovery. These meetings are designed to create an environment of trust in which the addict will share
his/her struggles. Participants can be assured of conidentiality and what is said will not be aired in public. Attendees will be encouraged to bring accountability partners, which will greatly aid in the process of recovery. The church is designed to be a shared faith community (Acts 2:37-47). God realizes the value in “group therapy.” People need help. Addicts need a support group, and Childers believes the church is the best support group, as it is built by Jesus. These meetings address the wide spectrum of addiction. Diferent people have diferent struggles, and the Gospel, Childers said, is the solution.
These meetings will not be restricted to any speciic addiction. Also, meetings are open for anyone interested, with the understanding that conidentiality must be honored. A goal is to eventually be able to split into groups according to age, gender and topic to better minister to specific issues, Childers added. All are welcome to attend. Childers said he intends to create an atmosphere of love and trust. For more information visit Collierville Church of Christ’s Facebook page, on Twitter (@PFinHim) or Youtube.com. Those interested may also visit pressing-forward.net. A new blog article is published every Monday morning.

Collierville High faculty and students like a family MARINA BRASHEAR Lausanne students helped raise more than $6,000 to send World War II veteran Eddie Spencer to Italy.

Students raise money to send WWII vet to Italy By Carrie Linder Lotterhos Special to The Weekly
T
he Lausanne Collegiate School Middle School students surprised Eddie Spencer, a World War II veteran who has become a beloved member of the Lausanne community, with a fully-paid Honor Flight to Italy. “Mr. Eddie,” as he is so afectionately called around the school, served time in World War II, which shaped his life. The Memphis based senior wish organization, Forever Young, organizes trips so that veterans, like Spencer, can
return and visit the places where they made history. The Lausanne Middle School students heard about this opportunity and immediately began a $6,000 fundraising campaign to send Spencer on the trip. The monetary goal had been reached through the RocketHub website. The middle school students also were able to present Forever Young founder, Diane Hight, an addition check for $2,600 to go toward another veteran’s trip. The 94-year-old-veteran was interviewed in 2008 as a part of Lausanne’s Oral History Program for the purpose of documenting his stories of combat during the war. Since that initial visit, Spencer drives himself to Lausanne several times a week to talk with kids, teach art classes, have lunch or go ishing at the lake.
Spencer discovered how much he was respected and valued by the students when during one of his irst visits he walked through Lausanne’s Tully Dining Hall during middle school lunch and the entire student body stood up and applauded him. This is now a ritual that makes Spencer grin ear to ear every time. Spencer served more than 550 consecutive days in World War II with the 403rd anti-aircraft artillery gun battalion of the ifth Army. On April 8, 1945, one of the signiicant moments of Spencer and his comrades’ time in Italy was the Battle of Cassino. Spencer was visibly moved by the generosity and eforts of Lausanne Middle School students and said he is looking forward to his return to Italy. Carrie Linder Lotterhos is the director of communications for Lausanne.

‘Peter Pan’ soars Special to The Weekly
Briarcrest Middle School students recently closed a successful run of “Disney’s Peter Pan, Jr.” at the Dr. Willard R. Sparks Chapel and Performing Arts Center. This was the irst time that students have taken light in a production. Seventh-grader Benjamin Cheng, who portrayed Peter Pan, used his experience as a nationally ranked dancer to show the ease of light choreography, as well as ight choreography against his foe, Captain Hook, who was played by eighth-grader, Hayden Gray. Cooper Neal, who also is an eighth-grader, portrayed Hook’s sidekick, Smee. Other students taking light included Tinker Bell (Kate Basse), Avery Veteto (Wendy) and Brock and Will Draper (Michael and John Darling). Flying by Foy installed the lying cables and trained adults to pull the students into the air during songs including, “You Can Fly.” Briarcrest coaches, A.J.

ton Williams were trained under technical director Ryan Stone. The other lying technicians included parents of cast members. Parents also assisted in the construction of the set. Audiences were dazzled as the Darling Nursery transformed into Hook’s ship,
the Jolly Roger, using a series of rotating platforms, which were all moved by a backstage crew consisting only of middle school students under the direction of stage manager, Allyson Vogel, who is in the eighth grade. “As much as possible, we repurposed set pieces from former Briarcrest productions,” said show’s director Melody Weintraub. “Since Briarcrest spring musical, ‘Fiddler on the Roof” was so well-designed by its director Rachel King Barr and technical director Ryan Stone, we had the rolling platforms and materials needed to make an authentic pirate ship and Lost Boy’s hideout.” Students sang and danced their way across the stage under the direction of musical director Justin Pepper and choreographer Tamara Prince Parrish. Ashley Whitten Kopera, who recycled everything from prom dresses to thrift store inds, designed the costumes for the 40-member cast. Briarcrest teacher, Angel Neal, trained a middle school team in the art of stage make up.
SPECTACULAR SERVICE!
The Melody Weintraub Drama Award was established in 2007 in honor of Melody Weintaub, who founded Briarcrest Christian Middle School’s theater program. It is bestowed upon two eighthgrade students who exhibit Christian leadership both on and ofstage and who demonstrate a lifestyle that indicates performance and service for an “Audience of One.” This award also includes a cash award that will be applied to their Briarcrest tuition the following year. This year’s winners are Allyson Vogel and Cooper Neal. Vogel has served as assistant to the director for all middle school musicals since she was in the sixth grade. This year, Vogel served as stage manager for “Disney’s Peter Pan, Jr.” Her organizational and leadership skills enabled her to manage a complicated production from the wings. Neal has been involved in many theatrical productions at Briarcrest both in middle school and in high school and community

A&E STAGE REVIEW
Staging gives nod to classic 1940 film By Jon W. Sparks Special to The Commercial Appeal
You might think of “The Philadelphia Story” as a 1930s-era comedy, which is certainly is, but Jason Spitzer would have you consider it in more contemporary terms. Spitzer is directing the production at Theatre Memphis irst staged in 1939 and then made into a hit movie in 1940 with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. The Hepburn character — Tracy Lord — is a freewheeling Philadelphia socialite who is about to wed her second husband. But being very monied and inclined to hijinks, she and her family are being closely watched by the press, Kardashian-style. She wants no tabloid coverage at the wedding, but her ex-husband shows up with a reporter who says he’ll spill the beans on some of her father’s shenanigans unless she lets him hang around for the nuptials. Spitzer says the feel of the sophisticated satire is not that much diferent from today’s obsession with celebrity, which the media is more than ready to serve up to a willing public. “In America, we don’t have royalty,” he says, “so we’re obsessed with the rich and famous.” With the ilm still widely appreciated (it gets a pristine 100 percent on rottentomatoes.com’s Tomatometer), Theatre Memphis’ production will pay its respects to the movie version. “When the audience comes to see the play,” Spitzer says, “we expect many will have seen the ilm, so they’ll

have an expectation to see something that reminds them of the movie. We go our own way, but we have to give the ilm a nod, so in casting, I felt that would be the easiest way to do it.” Spitzer continues: “The actors who were big stars in the ilm were known for their personal styles. Jimmy Stewart was a good guy, Cary Grant charming and Katharine Hepburn witty and
clever. Luckily, I found them all. Each will be familiar to the audience, having qualities that are the essence of the characters.” He chose Natalie Jones (“Dangerous Liaisons,” “The Royal Family”) to evoke the necessary wit, sass and vulnerability that deine Tracy Lord. The three gents at the center were played in the ilm by Grant (the ex), Stewart (the reporter) and John Howard (the possible groom). In TM’s production, the roles will be played by veteran performers Kinon Keplinger (“The Submission,” “Jekyll & Hyde,” “Frankenstein”), John Moore (“Glengarry Glen Ross,” “Death of a Salesman,” “Picnic”) and Steven Brown (“Pride and Prejudice,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Play’s the Thing”), respectively. There is, by the way, quite a story in the creation of the play and the ilm, all revolving around Hepburn.
At the time, she was considered by the Independent Theatre Owners of America organization to be box-oice poison. Her early career started of well, and she’d won a Best Actress Oscar, but a series of lops slowed her momentum. She decided to go back to the stage and do “The Philadelphia Story,” which had been written for her by Philip Barry. She was a shrewd one, that Hepburn. At the time, she was dating Howard Hughes, who bought the ilm rights and gave them to her. The play was a inancial and critical success, so Hepburn, playing her power hand, sold the rights to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with the conditions that she star in it and choose the director and co-stars. The ilm version of “The Philadelphia Story” got Hepburn’s career back on track for the rest of her days, complete with three more Academy Awards.

This special music program is held in memory of St. George’s student, Rebecca Meriwether Cooper Klyce.

Free Comic Book Day ofers titles galore By Andrew Smith Tribune Content Agency
Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, an event that has become a irst-Saturday-inMay tradition at most major comic shops since the irst one in 2001. If you haven’t ever been to one, it’s time to start, and here’s a Q&A to help you acclimate: Q: Are the comics really free? A: Yes, they’re really free. Q: They don’t just form out of the ether. Who pays for them? A: “It really is a shared cost between retailers, publisher and Diamond as the distributor,” said Deborah Moreland of Diamond Comic Distributors Inc., a irm that distributes the vast majority of comics in North America. “Retailers pay a nominal fee for each comic they purchase — usually the cost to print the comic. They also handle all their costs in management and marketing of the event locally. Publishers create the comics with no compensation, other than for the printing costs, and they help to market the event. Diamond, as the distributor, donates all of its processing time to get retailers the comic books, and help oversee the overall management and the national marketing and PR for the event.” Q: Do all comic shops participate? A: No. To ind out if a shop near you is giving away free comics, go the comic shop locator onfreecomicbookday.com to ind a shop near your ZIP code and ask them. With more than 2,340 shops participating this year, you should be able to ind one close by. Q: What else is going on at the shops besides free comics? A: Wait, free comics isn’t enough? Tough crowd! But as it happens, most shops — like my local retailer, Comics & Collectibles in Memphis — hold sales on nonfree merchandise. Lots of fans show up in costume, and according to Moreland, it’s not unknown for couples brought together by the love of comics to get married at FCBD. Q: Do I have to wear a costume? A: No. However, if you’re skipping work to go, a full Darth Vader facemask or Magneto helmet isn’t a bad idea in case your boss is there too. Q: Will there be enough books to go around? A: That depends on the shop you’re at, and how many they ordered, and how many people show up. But your odds are good for a large selection, as retailers

MICHAEL DONAHUE/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL
The Barefoot Bowl at Maui Brick Oven in Germantown.
BEST BETS
Barefoot Bowl gluten-free fare By Michael Donahue donahue@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2797
Coming of a hot wings story that I helped research by eating at seven hot wing places, and going into last weekend’s Southern Hot Wing Festival and the upcoming Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, I thought it was time to eat something healthy. I heard about the Barefoot Bowl at Maui Brick Oven, a 100 percent gluten-free restaurant with only two locations: Kihei, Hawaii, and Germantown. I chose Germantown because of newspaper deadlines. Michael Tauer, the restaurant’s Memphis owner, also is an owner of Bounty on Broad, another glutenfree restaurant. “The original impetus for this was to try to ind good food that also was gluten-free,” Tauer said. The Barefoot Bowl,
which sells for $11, contains avocado, pickled carrots, onions and caulilower, portobello mushrooms, garlic, kale, mandarin oranges, crispy garbanzo beans, brown rice, quinoa and Thai coconut sauce. It’s wonderful. I ate every bite. Kim Davis, who was at the restaurant when I was there, also ordered the Barefoot Bowl. “I just lew in from Costa Rica today and had to get this for dinner,” she said. “It’s the ifth time I’ve been here, and I got the Barefoot Bowl every time.” Asked what she liked about it, Davis said, “It’s just fresh and healthy and good. Pure goodness.” I agree. It’s almost as if they put everything I like to snack on in one bowl. The mushrooms taste like meat, and the oranges add sweetness. That coconut sauce sets everything of. “It’s a great mix of lavors,” said general manager Dana Doggrell. “It’s
the most popular dish.” The “grain bowls,” which include the Barefoot Bowl as well as the Kalua, Pollo and Bi Bim bowls, were created in house, not at the Hawaii location, Doggrell said. Before the restaurant, which is known for its gourmet pizzas, opened, Taylor Berger, who helped open the restaurant, asked the chef to come up with a grain bowl. The Hawaii restaurant recently added the grain bowls to their menu, Tauer said. So it’s OK to go barefoot at Maui Brick Oven as long as you’re referring to the Barefoot Bowl. Note: If you want to add a dessert, try the brownie made with cream cheese swirl served with a strawberry and raspberry compote and vanilla bean ice cream with caramel sauce. Maui Brick Oven is at 7850 Poplar, Suite 6, in Germantown; 901-5052525.

ON THE WING We searched the city for Memphis’ 20 best chicken wings By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223
H
ey, guess who serves hot wings? If you said “Oh, just maybe every restaurant in town,” congratulations. Winner winner, take our chicken dinner. Believe me, we’ve had enough for a while.
With the Southern Hot Wing Festival and Contest happening last Saturday, it was a good time to revisit the chicken wing, something we haven’t written about extensively in 10 or more years. But it was clearly too big of a job for one person, so we split the work four ways: GoMemphis editors Chris Herrington and Mark Richens, Michael Donahue and I each took a list and got to work. Of course, those lists grew every time we mentioned what we were doing, because everyone wanted to tell us about their favorite place. In the end, it came down to a few things: No chains. (Sorry, Rick Ross.) No fast food. And then it came down to reputation. We couldn’t possibly go everywhere — literally hundreds of places serve wings — so we narrowed our list down to about 40 places known to be good and picked our favorite 20 of those. Did we miss something? No doubt we did, but we’re going to count on you to weigh in at gomemphis.com and tell us your favorites. Here’s our list, in alphabetical order. Hope you have your Wet-naps ready. Adline’s (2736 Warford, 901357-2515): While the wings are
pretty standard, they’re exactly what a wing should be. First, they’re whole, a plus in my book, and they’re cooked to order. Want yours a little soft? Ask. Want them fried hard? You got it. Extra wet? Get your napkins ready. We tried the dry seasoned, lemon pepper and honey gold. I’d eat any of them again, but I was particularly taken with the tangy lemon pepper, served dry but plenty moist. Nice folks, too. — Jennifer Biggs Alex’s Tavern (1445 Jackson, 901-278-9086): Hip-hop star
and chicken-wing impresario Rick Ross would not be a fan of Alex’s. (Incidentally, Ross’ national Wingstop franchise, which has six Memphis-area stores, is excluded on this alllocal list.) Ross explained on local radio last year that he only eats lats. (“Drummies are for dummies.”) But this dark, cool, north-edge-of-Midtown dive is drummies-only. I think I agree with Ross in a preference for lats, but I’m not turning these meaty, well-spiced beauts down, especially with Alex’s faintly buttery and distinctive Bufalo sauce, clearly concocted with care. (Also available in BBQ and Greek.) — Chris Herrington All-Star Hot Wings (1428 Union, 901-274-0040): This local chain
with ive locations serves up something like the local hotwing prototype, full-sized fried wings, still crisp after being tossed with a sharp, tangy but not overpowering hot sauce. Probably not the best on this list, but totally satisfying. — CH

ranch. I chose honey gold lavor for the whole wings. These were sweeter than any honey golds I tried at other places, but they’re not cloyingly sweet. The wings, both party and whole, are meaty — MD Elwood’s Shack (4523 Summer; 901-761-9898): Yes, it’s true that
I like just about everything about Elwood’s, so loving the smoked jerk wings comes as no surprise. These are jumbo whole wings, marinated for 24 hours in a jerk paste, smoked for about three hours, crisped in the pizza oven just before serving. Oh yeah, they get a dash of Elwood’s Magic Dust, too. The result is an intensely flavored and tender wing. These and the ones at the Belmont are deinitely the biggest, too. — JB The Grille (3035 Lamar; 901744-7458): You’ll know you’re

wings” are at Bosses. These are whole wings broken into the various parts: the drummies, lats and tips. The tips are the least popular because they don’t have enough meat on them. Questionable Decision, a bufalo-style extra hot wing, opened up all our sinuses, but it still was lavorful. The heat from Questionable Decision and Bosses’ hot chicken dry rub comes from the habanero paste and powders Bosses makes from scratch. Bosses wings are meaty, moist and tender. — Michael Donahue
Ching’s Hot Wings. And so does just about every teenager in Memphis, judging by the clientele and the photos — most of them framed — of young customers on just about every square inch of available space, including napkin holders. While Ching’s has several whole wings, their honey gold wings are my all-time favorite. They’re sweet and meaty, but they don’t taste like any other honey gold I’ve eaten. They’re the standard in my book. Their sauce is so secret, owner Lafayette Williams won’t serve any in little cups because he doesn’t want people trying to igure out the ingredients in his recipes. The sauce goes on the wings and that’s that. — MD
Downtown watering hole are billed as “drummies,” but an order of eight brings a mix of smallish lats and drums boasting uniformly crisp skin and a Bufalo sauce that tingles the lips. These are ine Yankeestyle wings that are best served with a cold mug of beer. — Mark
ordered six wings, two with dry rub, two sweet heat and two with jerk seasoning. The dry rub and the sweet heat were greatly preferred over the jerk and while there was no consensus at the table, my pick was the dry wings. They were smoky and tender, a little salty (not oversalted though, just salty enough to make you want a drink of beer) and a little spicy. And while I generally don’t like ranch dressing, Central makes its own and it is heads above any ranch you’ve tasted before. — JB
Cozy Corner (726 North Parkway, 901-577-7719 [Encore Cafe number]): Cozy Corner has set
up temporary shop across the street from their normal location (damaged earlier this year in a ire), opening up a counter inside Encore Cafe.

Mosa Asian Bistro (850 S. White Station; 901-683-8889): I
only knew Mosa served wings because I happened to be reviewing the restaurant while we were out tasting wings. They’re excellent, and super crisp.

It’s for dipping so these wings stay crisp. — JB Thai Basil (2845 Bartlett Blvd.; 901-381-5777): At Thai
est ever day on the grill. The chicken itself is tender, smoky and more lavorful than most wings in town, and slathered in Cozy Corner’s hot barbecue sauce, they have less heat than most any “hot wings,” but enough to tingle, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. — CH
Basil you have two choices for chicken wings. You can get them stufed with ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts and noodles (sort of a turducken thing going on), battered and deep fried. Or you can just order the wings, delicately crisp, slightly spicy and served tossed with sliced jalapeño peppers, white onion and green onion, all lightly sautéed. Sauces are on the table, so mix up your own if you want it. These are excellent as is, though. — JB
Crumpy’s Hot Wings (671 Highland, 901-443-5857):
Uncle Lou’s Fried Chicken (3633 Millbranch, 901-332-2367): This
Crumpy’s has several locations, but I tried the one near University of Memphis. They strictly serve whole wings. Three of us were struck by the juiciness of their sweet honey hot wings. All the wings we tried were great, from the tanginess of the jerk wings to the very lemony — in a good way — lavor of the lemon wings. We agreed you get a lot of meat on these wings. — MD
Whitehaven spot is known for its perfectly fried chicken, and the basic “homestyle” wings are worth a recommendation by themselves. But order them hot, and they come doused in a thin, vinegary baste that clings lovingly to the delicately crispy skin.

Houston wins, keeps hushed on oiciating By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350
Houston High soccer coach David Wolf was mum on the oiciating following last Thursday’s game against archrival Collierville. But he had plenty to say about the way his team responded under diicult circumstances. Ben Shepherd and Peyton McKnatt scored irst-half goals and the Mustangs’ defense made it stand up despite playing a man down over the inal 16 minutes to secure the regular-season District 15-AAA title, 2-1 at Mike Rose. TSSAA rules state that a school can be ined if a coach criticizes the oficials. So Wolf elected not to go there, even after watching his team get whistled for seven yellow cards and one red. Compounding the frustration was a penalty late in the irst half that gave the fourth-ranked Dragons their only goal. “We showed a lot of heart,” said Wolf, whose team is ranked irst in The Commercial Appeal’s Super Six. “Even a man down, they didn’t put any more pressure on us than they did (earlier).” Houston got on the board less than a minute after the opening whistle when William Keenan crept up from his left back position before crossing neatly for freshman Shep-
herd, who tapped home from close range. “They mattered because that meant they had to beat us,” said Wolf. “They couldn’t tie us and still win the district championship.” The Mustangs were perhaps a little fortunate to get the second three minutes before halftime. Oshi Amro lofted a good ball near the area for Carter Santos, who was saved well by Dragons goalkeeper Caleb Enzor. The save left Enzor out of position though and the delection fell neatly to McKnatt, who made it 2-0. It didn’t take Collierville long to get one back as Dalton Marin converted a smartly struck penalty after Houston was whistled for a foul in the box. But t he Dragons couldn’t ind a way to the equalizer, despite some ferocious attacking in the inal moments. “We did that (falling behind early) against St. George’s and we came back to tie so that was nothing we hadn’t seen before,” said Dragons coach Drew Hensarling. “But we were just a little of all game. Their second goal galvanized us and Dalton Marin responded with a well-placed penalty. “But as I said, we were just a little of ... (and) it was team wide. But if we take care of business ... we’ll see them again.”

A TRELLIS TAKEOVER Major Wheeler honeysuckles thriving with a little pruning
They say vines are like children. First they crawl, then they walk, and then they run. For more than a month, my two 3-year-old red Major Wheeler honeysuckles have been racing up their trellises and falling over the tops in the most delightful way. The massive numbers of trumpet-shaped red lowers make a pleasing sight standing out against the dark foliage. But when hummingbirds lit in and out to drink of their nectar, a static snapshot turns into a motion picture. With a little pruning after this irst lush of lowers, I can expect blooms all summer. I’ve already snipped of some excess top growth. Unlike another honeysuckle I’ve had, Major Wheeler does not get powdery mildew on its leaves as summer progresses. I’m eager to see whether the red berries that appear late in the season really do attract goldinches, as some sources say. Be sure to give the plant sturdy support. One of my vines is now so heavy the wire trellis strains under its weight. I used some tent stakes to pull it back into its upright posture. Between its walking and crawling stage, I mistakenly thought one of my vines might like to share its trellis with a clematis. I was so, so wrong about that and plan to move the struggling clematis to a place of its own in the fall. Some Internet sources report a successful pair-
propagated from acorns gathered at the parks. Arborist Wes Hopper, who now serves as treasurer of the group, presented the plaque, which was engraved with a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.” “I’ve been with him when he is planting trees, and he wants the job done right,” Hopper said. Beckwith also was given TUFC’s urban and community award of excellence for a government employee in 2012. By propagating oaks from acorns, he was able to increase the shade canopy with almost no budgetary expense. Connie Shepherd, who was the horticulture foreman at the Memphis Zoo, is stepping into Beckwith’s shoes on a temporary basis and will be a candidate for the permanent job after it is posted and applications are considered, said Larry Franks, administrator of park operations for the park service.

ing of the two plants, but giving them separate support systems seems better to me. This honeysuckle variety was irst found growing along a sunny clearing on the edge of a woodland by Patricia Wheeler, wife of Charles Wheeler, former president of the North Carolina Botanical Garden Foundation for whom it is named. Its parents, the native coral honeysuckle, naturally produced an improved child. The Wheelers report having blooms as late as Christmas Day. You can find Major Wheeler at several nurseries including Gardens Oy Vey in Arlington.
RETIRING FROM PARKS After 28 years at Memphis Park Services, Richard Beckwith leaves full-time work as a professional horticulturist for a retirement with time for home gardening and some freelance jobs, too. The transition was recently marked by a gathering of friends, co-workers and horticultural colleagues at the Abe Goodman Golf House in Overton Park. During his tenure, Beckwith, 67, is credited with improving the drain-

In the horticulture competition, you will see 300 or more specimens of lowers, branches and foliage now at the peak of their performance.
