Munis assume keys to schools Suburban districts take over buildings

Municipal school systems in Shelby County took a major step Monday toward opening this summer, oicially assuming ownership of their buildings from the county school system.

While the responsibility for the buildings now falls to the individual suburbs, nothing of signiicance changed at the facilities from the time employees left work on Friday. The county didn’t change the locks, and the buildings weren’t cleaned out by the former owners over the weekend.

They weren’t cleaned up, either. That responsibility now falls to the six municipalities taking over the properties.

In Germantown, Supt.

Jason Manuel and his staf started making adjustments early in the day. Manuel and director of operations Josh Cathey met Shelby County Schools personnel in Arlington to retrieve the master key sets, but maintenance and administrative staf were in the buildings throughout the day.

“Every time you walk in the building, you see something else you have to take care of,” Cathey said as he and Manuel strolled through Houston High.

Several signs in the schools, for example, have the Shelby County logo. A water main at the high school broke during inal exam week. Manuel said Shelby County ixed

Spat over GHS-TV called a ‘misunderstanding’

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

Germantown Alderman Rocky Janda says the lareup over funding of the student-run TV station at Germantown High School is a misunderstanding he hopes can be worked out.

“The whole thing is based on having receipts for capital purchases,” Janda said. “I am not going to give someone $203,000 just because that is the way

it was done in the past.”

For more than 20 years, money that Germantown city officials collected from cable-television subscribers for the public TV access studio at the school was deposited quarterly into a foundation account managed by the city and the school. When the Shelby County Schools district made purchases, it sent an invoice to the foundation, and the bill was paid, said Ted Horrell, former principal of GHS.

PHARMACY

“I take exception to the idea that the terms of the contract were not met by GHS-TV and the community TV foundation,” Horrell said. “I was at numerous meetings and it was never mentioned that there was missing documentation. We were reassured repeatedly that the money would be forthcoming.”

Shelby County Schools says Germantown is being diicult because three schools in the city, including GHS, will continue to

be run by SCS. “It’s historically always been done a certain way.

Now all of a sudden, the game changes,” said SCS legal counsel Valerie Speakman. “It just seems very clear it’s a punishment to SCS for keeping those schools.”

Janda expects a solution can be worked out. “Right now, if I have documentation for $203,000, which we don’t beneit from, common sense is going to say, ‘Why would you do that?’ ”

The Living End Zombie horde stumbles, dances through annual walk

By Jonathan A. Capriel capriel@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2370

Instead of crawling out of a cemetery or breaching a biohazard quarantine, living-dead enthusiasts Jordan Geiger and her iancé Robert Frost arrived last Friday to the annual Memphis Zombie Walk in their 2001 Acura. After parking in front of the U.S. Post Oice on G.E. Patterson Avenue and Second Street, they joined the growing crowd of participants at Navy Park smearing faux gore on each other.

“This is our irst time here,” Frost said while splashing stage blood on Geiger’s white shirt. Both love zombie movies, Frost said, though he prefers the scary ones like “28 Days Later” while she favors comedies like “Zombieland.”

“Opposites do attract,” Geiger said.

Even though the walk’s number of pretend-lesh eaters has increased every year, the event is still loosely organized on Facebook, said coordinator Jeremy William.

“We have kept it pretty grass roots,” he said while looking up at the storm clouds. “If it rains it will be the irst time in eight years. But we walk rain or shine. Last time we had about a thousand people I expect more this year.” At about 5:30 p.m., rain washed on the roughly 300 early participants, turning puddles at Navy Park pink with fake blood. But, half an hour before the walk, the rain eased up and

the number of undead more than tripled.

The walk has changed since 2005, Williams said.

While the mass moved along South Main, Williams and three other coordinators place boxes of donated canned food into their cars.

“This is a new element we added to the walk,” Rogers said. “Nobody’s forced to donate, but we have been able to give a lot to the local food banks thanks to this walk.”

Just as the reanimated horde reached the corner of South Main and Beale, a lash mob of girls limped under the Orpheum theater’s marquee and broke into a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

The choreographed-zombie dance was “absolutely” not a coincidence, said Kanette Rodgers director of communications for the Orpheum. The girls were recruited from Collierville Middle School by the theater.

“Every year we look for a way to help this growing celebration of the undead,” Rodgers said.

Aside from organizing the lash mob, the Orpheum kicked of its Summer Movie Series with a zombie double feature, the 1968 classic “Night of the Living Dead” and 2009’s horror-comedy “Zombieland.”

Walkers were not turned away, Rodgers said.

Those who donated to the Memphis Zombie Walk’s food drive received a $1 discount on their ticket price and “decontamination centers” outside the theater cleaned any damp “gore” from clothing while plastic bags were placed on seats to protect them from staining, Rodgers said.

“The Orpheum belongs to the city,” Rodgers said.

“So in a way it belongs to Memphians both living and nonliving.”

If all goes well, Baker and his medical partners plan to open the charity pharmacy in January.

“Patients will also be ofered this list on a jump drive they can keep in their wallets,” Baker said. “At every face-to-face followup appointment this jump drive will be updated and revised with recommendations and action plans.”

Baker is working with pharmacy directors from Baptist and Le Bonheur hospitals, as well as Union University’s pharmacy program, a national medication management organization called Outcomes MTM, and Dispensary of Hope, a Nashville nonprofit that distributes donated meds.

He also hopes to work with Christ Community Health Services and the Church Health Center.

“What good is a brilliant diagnosis if the patient cannot aford the medicine,” said Dr. Scott Morris, executive director of the Church Health Center.

“There is deinitely a role for what Philip wants to do. We are certainly supportive.”

Nearly half of the U.S. population has at least one chronic condition that requires medication.

And yet, nearly half of the nation’s patients don’t take medications as prescribed, resulting in nearly $300 billion a year in trips to the emergency room, the hospital or other medical facilities.

For Baker, what he does isn’t just a job. It’s a healing ministry.

“As pharmacists, we have been blessed with an intimate knowledge of medicine,” he said. “We have an obligation to use this knowledge to serve our patients.”

Only as prescribed, of course.

This year, Horrell says the money was not deposited in the account, and the studio leaders, nervous about spending money they didn’t have, made no purchases.

“They were not willing to take it on faith that the money would be forthcoming, particularly in light of the uncertainty with the school situation,” Horrell said in an e-mail Monday.

She was one of about 20 or so employees arranging their oice spaces for the town’s irst central oice for Collierville’s municipal school district. The cam-

For Collierville, the property has been hallowed school grounds since 1872, when Bellevue College opened on the site as a private college for women. It became a Shelby County school in 1899, but the original buildings have since been replaced In some ways, the recent ight of merger/de-merger between Memphis City and Shelby County schools resembles the contentious arguments when affluent Collierville parents opposed free or public schools in the late 1800s.

“The less affluent were of the opinion that it was not the school’s purpose to teach students, ‘To speak Greek like pigs squealing, but to teach them, black and white, to know their duty and the right that every youth may learn to love justice and truth,’ ” wrote Clarene Pinkston Russell in her book, “Collierville,

Germantown Hardware & Paint

Tennessee: Her People and Neighbors.”

The two-story building with a basement features modern and neoclassical architecture common when construction started in 1930 and was inished in 1936 under President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Projects Administration. It even has an outdoor sunken garden.

For the town’s irst municipal school superintendent, Monday’s move turned into a homecoming. “I started my Shelby County school career here as a math teacher and assistant basketball coach,” said Aitken, who had ditched his usual coat and tie for shorts and tennis shoes.

Stopping in to see the school, Mayor Stan Joyner, a 1968 CHS graduate, said, “This is just a natural location to anchor Collierville schools.”

The Germantown Municipal School Board voted 5-0 on Monday to tentatively move forward with two start times for its ive schools this coming school year.

The motion was vague in its language, asking the administration to bring the schools to “less than three start times … as soon as possible.” The vote means the administration will work on a plan to have the ive schools start at two different times as soon as this school year. If the administration discovers it can’t be done this year, then the board can reconsider.

The board members and administrators have said they agree two start times are preferable to three, as some schools are starting as early as 7 a.m. and others as late as 9. The debate has been the feasibility of making the change this year.

Supt. Jason Manuel said if the board moves forward with two start times, it may cost several hundreds of thousands of extra dollars, and the district may have to go back to the city and ask for more money to make it happen.

Preliminary estimates from bus company Durham Services indicated it could cost as much as $500,000 to merge three start times into two. Manuel said there is no extra room in his budget to come up with that much money.

Board member Mark Dely said his goal is to exhaust all possible ways to change the start times this year before resigning to the idea that the change is impossible.

“Let’s go charge down the road, see if we can do it, and if we need more money, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” he said.

In a work session before the meeting, the board heard from Durham representative David Brabender, the regional manager for the company. Brabender said the change is not impossible for this year, and he would do his best to make it happen if that’s what the board wanted.

But he cautioned it could come at a price, not just inancially, but of smooth logistics on the irst day of school.

Manuel said last year’s change, with Shelby County Schools merging with Memphis City Schools, often left students hanging around school at the end of the day or on their street corners in the morning.

Brabender said he thought he could find enough buses for Germantown to do two start times instead of three, but the issue is hiring enough staf. Because the company will now be servicing all of Shelby County Schools and the municipal districts, the irm is already stretched thin trying to hire an additional 400 drivers. Merging start times would mean an additional 10-15 drivers to hire in less than 60 days.

In the News BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN

Collierville to consider raises for mayor, aldermen

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Collierville oicials approved a resolution May 27 that changes how the town sets the pay scale for salaries of the mayor and aldermen.

The resolution was passed unanimously by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen with no discussion.

In other action during a nonvoting work session that followed the board’s business meeting, Collierville — along with Arling-

ton, Bartlett, Lakeland and Millington — are looking at having the same health insurance administrator as the towns’ ive municipal school districts to save health care costs.

The Collierville school board approved the health insurance component as a part of its shared services agreement with the other municipal school districts except for Germantown.

Germantown’s school district and the city’s municipal staf may join forces to open a health clinic for both city and school workers.

Collierville would still have its same separate selfinsured health plan and beneits it has now but the company that administers the plan may change.

Town oicials considered last year more than doubling the salaries of the mayor and aldermen after the next two election cycles in 2014 and in 2016.

The town has staggered terms with the mayor and two aldermen running in 2014, and three aldermen running in 2016.

“You can’t give yourself a raise while you are sitting in that seat during

that term,” said Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner after the meeting.

The aldermen talked last year about increasing the mayor’s annual salary to $35,000 from $15,000, the aldermen’s salaries to $12,000 from $4,800 and $5,200 for vice mayor, who is an aldermen.

Joyner said he expects a resolution to change the pay rates in the next two or three months. If approved, this would be the first change in salaries since 2001.

The salaries of elected oicials are part of the

town’s charter, which makes changing them more diicult.

During the discussion about health care costs, Human Resources director Jay Jefries said Aetna proposed a $5 million a year contract compared to $8.9 million from the current provider, Health Cost Solutions, and $8.4 million from HCC. If approved, the group’s size will grow from the town’s 422 employees to a combined workforce of about 3,100 employees with ive school systems and five city govern-

ments.

The change is making the premiums more attractive because the claims risk is spread out over a larger group.

Jefries said Collierville initially projected single health coverage would cost about $105 a month and family health coverage at about $249 monthly.

Now he said, it likely will be $96 a month for singles and $224 for families of town workers.

After the presentation, Alderman Tom Allen said, “I don’t think we have a choice.”

tro said. “It brought me home.”

Seven decades, nearly 26,000 days, have passed since Nicastro took part in D-Day, history’s largest seaborne invasion, which included 11,000 planes, 50,000 vehicles and 150,000 Allied troops.

After the war, Nicastro met a girl at a post in Virginia. They were married in 1946 — but not before he removed one of his ive tattoos.

“I told him that he wasn’t going to hug me with an arm that said ‘Betty,’” said Ramona Nicastro.

Nicastro brought his new wife home to Memphis. He made a living by working in a body shop.

The couple lived in the same house in Byhalia, Miss., for 45 years. They raised three children who gave them seven grandchildren and a dozen greatgrandchildren.

D-Day resulted in 10,000 Allied casualties, including 4,000 dead, German casualties were probably about the same. The Battle of Normandy also killed more than 20,000 French civilians.

Friday, President Barack Obama, French President Francois Hollande, and other European leaders will gather near Omaha to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Nicastro and seven other Memphis-area D-Day veterans will have frontrow seats.

“Didn’t want the frontrow seats I had 70 years ago,” said Jack Claiborne, 90, a seaman who was driving troops to shore at Omaha.

The Memphis veterans also will join Michael Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan, for the opening of a new exhibit

at the Airborne Museum in Normandy.

The trip was arranged by the Forever Young Senior Wish Organization and its founding president, Diane Hight.

Hight and several Memphis-area veterans met Michael Reagan when they visited Normandy a year ago. Reagan donated $25,000 to help fund this year’s trip.

“Most of these men haven’t been back to Normandy since D-Day,” Hight said. “Not physically anyway.”

Monday morning, Nicastro, seven other D-day veterans and more than a dozen of their family members boarded a Bellevue Baptist Church bus.

An armada of Harleys, mounted by police oicers and veterans of more recent wars, escorted them to the airport, where they were met by a Navy band and a line of American lagholding well-wishers.

“I didn’t expect the escort,” Nicastro said as he walked into the airport.

“We had an escort on DDay too, but people were shooting at us that time.”

This time, Nicastro is taking a commercial light to France.

This time he’s traveling with his wife, Ramona.

This time, the only equipment he’s carrying that might qualify as a weapon is his walking cane.

“This trip will be much easier and a lot quieter,” Nicastro said. “Thank God.” Forever Young will host a trip to Belgium Sept. 2028 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

Christ Centered, Child Focused Education

By David Waters

The last time Phillip Nicastro went to France, he was a it and fearless 17-year-old Navy machinegunner in a 5,000-ship armada sent to rescue Europe from the Nazis.

“I wasn’t scared of the devil back then,” Nicastro said. “None of us were.

We were all kids when we went to ight that war.”

A few months before, Nicastro had boarded LST495, a new transport ship laid down and launched in Evansville, Indiana.

LST stood for Large Ship Tanks, but sailors dubbed it a Large Slow Target. The 495 was designed to transport troops and tanks from shore to shore, not to ight.

The ship passed by Memphis on its way to the gulf, the ocean, and then the English Channel.

Nicastro and his mates arrived on the coast of Normandy, France, at a beach dubbed Omaha, on June 6, 1944.

D-Day. They were met by lines of logs, metal hedgehogs and other mined anti-tank barriers, as well as German machine guns and artillery.

“The closer we got to the beach, there were dead bodies loating everywhere upside down,” said Nicastro. “The bodies were just parting as the ship moved closer to shore.”

Nicastro, a ship’s cook, was manning a 20mm machine gun on his loating target, trying to provide cover for the soldiers storming the beaches.

“When a plane would go down, everyone would say, ‘I got ’em.’ I’d say it, too, but I hope I didn’t,” Nicastro said.

“Shoot, I didn’t want to kill nobody. The Germans were kids just like me. They were just doing what they were told to do just like I was.”

Nicastro served on the 495 through 1944. The ship was decommissioned in 1946 and sold for scrapping in 1948.

“To me it was the best ship in the leet,” Nicas-

children and some of the country’s top professionals.

Chancellor’s sister, publicity chairwoman Wanda Chancellor, said the number of horse training barns in the area helps make the show so INSIDE successful.

Germantown “It’s not Charity Horse just a loShow queen, cal show, princesses. 4 a lt h o u g h it is a big show for all of our locals,” she said.

One local addition this year will be a performance from a group of teenagers from Eads who perform a drill team-style routine with their horses.

They call themselves the Old West Special Trail Brand Entry Team and often are the opening act for major competitions.

Chancellor said they will perform after the Grand Prix on Saturday.

RELATIONSHIPS

When clearing earwax, be delicate

By Dr. Anthony L. Komarof Universal Uclick

Dear Doctor K: I have a lot of wax in my ear. Should I try to remove it? How? Answer: Earwax is created when the oily substance made by cells lining the ear canal mixes with dead skin and debris. Normally, the mixture slowly moves out of the ear on its own.

But sometimes earwax gets blocked in the ear.

Certain conditions make this more likely: ■ An especially narrow or curvy ear canal.

■ A skin condition, such as eczema, that is afecting the canal.

■ Excessive hair growth in the canal.

■ Cleaning your ears with Q-tip. This can push the wax farther back into the ear canal, where it builds up and hardens.

■ Wearing a hearing aid or earplugs.

By collecting dead skin and debris, earwax helps clean the ear. It also helps prevent dryness and itching in the ear canal, protects the canal and eardrum from damage, and helps prevent infection.

In many people, the earwax continuously oozes out of the ear canal and onto the skin around the ear, where it is washed away when you bathe or shower. However, when the wax does not seep out of the ear, it builds up inside the ear.

If the wax buildup in your ear isn’t causing trouble, leave it alone. You need to remove earwax only if it causes problems, such as interfering with your hearing.

To unblock the wax, try using an over-the-counter ear-cleaning treatment, such as Debrox, to lush out the wax. If this doesn’t work, or if you have a history of ear drum perforation or have had ear surgery, make an appointment with your doctor.

Never try to dig out earwax with something like a Q-tip, paper clip or hairpin. That could push the wax farther into the canal or injure your eardrum.

Also avoid ear candling.

That’s when you stick a lighted hollow candle into the ear.

In general, your best bet is simply to clean your outer ear with a washcloth.

That makes it easier for the wax that’s deeper inside the ear canal to ooze out. Above all, don’t do something that will injure your ear.

No matter where each of them is on the road to making healthy lifestyle changes, “hopefully the couple is going in the same direction together,” says Dr. Donald Hensrud, medical director of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program.

Supporter or saboteur?

Partner’s encouragement is critical in starting, sticking to fitness program

By Pamela Knudson Grand Forks Herald

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — One of the irst things Dr. Donald Hensrud learned when he began working with patients in the area of wellness and prevention is the futility of trying to change another’s behavior.

“I realized quickly you can’t change someone else,” said Hensrud, medical director of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, Rochester, Minn.

“Change is diicult for people.

Some are ready; some are not.”

For example, “one of the partners in a relationship may be held back from starting a itness program because he or she is not as ready,” he said.

That person may even be threatened by his or her partner’s interest in physical itness, and try to undermine it.

In his work, Hensrud has seen instances where one partner gives chocolate to the other — who’s trying to lose weight — in an attempt to derail that person’s progress.

“We should be supportive of our partner’s eforts at self-improvement,” he said.

“If one partner isn’t supportive, the other has to take a step back and relect. It may say something about the person who’s not giving support.

“You have to realize that it might be someone else’s insecu-

rity.”

In general, “we tend to resist change,” he said. “Our routine is safe. We like the status quo; it’s easier to do what we know, and maintain it, than to make changes — even if the changes are beneicial in many ways.”

“If we’re comfortable in our own habits, and the other person is making changes, it may be viewed not so much as making an improvement but as ‘rocking the boat.’”

Committing to an exercise program takes time and involves an emotional investment, Hensrud said.

“Some people may feel that it’s taking time away from the relationship,” he said. “It’s good to look at the speciic reasons behind those feelings.”

Support is critical in starting and sticking with an exercise program, whether or not you exercise together as a couple, he said.

“Having the support of someone we really care about can make a big diference. It matters what people we care about say about what we do.

“On the lip side, the lack of support can be very detrimental.”

If your partner is not supportive of your itness goals, try to remain supportive of him or her anyway “to help them come along,” Hensrud said.

“We all have diferent strengths and insecurities.”

He warns against adopting a “holier-than-thou” attitude, he said. And avoid taking a competitive stance with your partner.

Instead, “you might say something like, ‘Do you want to come on a walk with me. I always feel better afterward.’

“Invite them and involve them to the degree that they want to be involved.”

If you are the one who’s not supportive of your partner’s itness goals, “try to do some honest selfrelection,” Hensrud said. “You may need to look at your reasons.

“Support goes along with respect, and we need to have respect for each other’s boundaries.”

As an example, he pointed to the relentless campaign that some people levy to convince their partners to quit smoking which “always backires.”

No matter where each of them is on the road to making healthy lifestyle changes, “hopefully the couple is going in the same direction together,” he said.

Getting into an exercise program together “would be a plus,” he said. “Take baby steps. Start by walking ive or 10 minutes at a time, and then build up to longer walks.”

Sometimes, couples “have different things that they like to do,” he said. “It’s great if it works out” that they can pursue physical itness activities together, but even if they have diferent schedules and can’t exercise together mutual support goes a long way.

“Enjoying the journey together can be tremendously rewarding.”

Runners, let comfort guide shoe choices; research doesn’t back industry claims

By Melissa Dribben Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Wondering about the best shoes to wear for spring running?

Neutral? Minimalist?

Stability? Motion control?

Cushioned heel?

Confused? Of course you are. Well, sports medicine specialists have good news. Stop worrying about fallen arches, overpronation, and putting your feet on a Paleolithic regimen.

The latest thinking about how to choose the best running shoe is to let comfort be your guide.

Since the 1970s, running shoes have evolved from puny slabs of rubber sewn to canvas shells into engineering feats rivaling 3-D-printed surveillance drones.

Far beyond the latest Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 are plans for running shoes made of computer-generated molecules that will link to living organisms and conform to your foot’s

ever-changing needs.

In the somewhat-lessdistant future are Google Bluetooth-enabled shoes that talk to you and tell you how your run is going.

For now, runners have a hard enough time picking from hundreds of mute, inorganic options.

“Historically, the push has always been to look at foot pronation,” said Bryan Heiderscheit, a professor in the department of biomedical engineering at the University of WisconsinMadison. Runners were told to wear shoes that would correct for the foot’s tendency to roll inward or outward, on the theory that this would correct biomechanical laws and prevent injuries to the knees and lower back.

“But the best studies that have been done in the last 10 years,” said Heiderscheit, “have not substantiated that claim.”

In 2010, the American Journal of Sports Medicine published a study of 1,400

Marine Corps recruits.

Half the group was given shoes based on a careful evaluation of the shape of their feet. The control group’s shoes were chosen randomly.

“Assigning shoes based on the shape of the plantar foot surface,” the authors concluded, “had little inluence on injuries.”

When Heiderscheit tries to explain this to members of the running-shoe industry, he gets “pushback.”

Not surprising, he said, considering that the $20 billion athletic-shoe market sustains itself on innovation.

The idea that almost any shoe is ine if it’s comfortable is also apt to meet resistance from runners for whom theory has become dogma. Believers in barefoot running or minimalist shoes, for instance, are unlikely to be convinced.

Both are fine, said Heiderscheit, as long as recent converts do not make the switch too abruptly.

Speaking from personal experience, Heiderscheit said, it is easy to get injured if you decide to toss your cushiony sneakers and immediately start racking up miles in a pair of barely-theres.

It can take months to adapt, he said. He recommends exercises to strengthen muscles in the calf and foot and using the minimalist shoes for short, easy runs at irst.

“You should feel so comfortable in a shoe that you could sleep in them,” said Jon Woo, a sports medicine specialist at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Experts say that just as everyone’s feet are unique, so are their running styles.

“There is no absolute biomechanical ideal,” said Heiderscheit.

Still, Heiderscheit said, there are “laws” to avoid.

“You don’t want to bounce too much. You don’t want to overstride.

And the one thing we ab-

Runners can choose from a broad range of shoe styles, from cushy to barely there.

solutely don’t want people to do is a hard heel strike — truly coming down on your heel with your foot pointed high in air.”

Jeptoo, for the record, runs in Nike Zoom Streak 3s, a lightweight, breathable shoe with some sup-

port and cushioning. Online reviews of the shoe range from “I got huge blisters” to “Perfect!”

If this proves anything, experts said, it is that the one true authority on which shoes are best is the runner who wears them.

SUMMER TREAT

Simple recipe assures great results for summer lemonade

By Elizabeth Karmel

ROCKING CHAIR LEMONADE

Associated Press

Homemade lemonade is an essential taste of summer. But concentrates and powders simply won’t do.

Luckily, great homemade lemonade is as easy as remembering a few numbers — 3-1-1-1. Three cups of cold water, 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar and 1 more cup of water to make the sugar syrup.

The sugar syrup — also called simple syrup — is the key to perfect homemade lemonade. As anyone who has tried to sweeten iced tea knows, sugar does not dissolve well in cold liquids. But simple syrup — a blend of (typically) equal parts sugar and water that was heated briely to help the sugar dissolve — mixes beautifully into lemonade, iced tea or cocktails.

When shopping for lemons for lemonade, buy large lemons that feel heavy and are squeezable. I always buy a couple extra. If I think I can get 1 cup of juice from 6 lemons, I buy 8.

As soon as I bring them home, I soak the lemons in a solution of white vinegar and water to minimize any molding or rotting. Often, a bag of lemons with one slightly moldy lemon becomes a whole bag of rotten lemons overnight if you don’t do this. And you don’t have to stop at lemons; this is a great way to wash all fruits and vegetables.

Before you juice them, soak the lemons in warm water, or microwave them for 10 seconds. The heat relaxes the juice pouches and makes it easier to extract the most juice from each lemon. Then, before you cut them in half, roll the lemons on the counter with your palm, exerting some pressure. This also helps get the juices lowing.

Once the juice is strained of excess pulp and seeds, and the simple syrup is cooled, you are ready to mix your lemonade. This can be done up to 2 days in advance. Also, be careful not to add too much water. The lemonade should be slightly concentrated because the ice in the glass will dilute it.

Makes 6 servings.

Note: if you are concerned that the lemonade will be too sweet, start with ½ cup or ¾ cup of the sugar syrup, then taste before adding more.

Strawberry lemonade: Purée 2 cups of cleaned, hulled fresh strawberries. if using a blender, press the purée through a mesh strainer to remove any large pieces of pulp. Add the strawberry purée to the lemonade recipe above, but reduce the cold water to 2 cups.

Once you master the base recipe, you are ready to try variations. My favorite is strawberry lemonade, but don’t stop there.

Try any summer berry, honeydew melon, peaches and summer herbs.

I use the rule of thumb that 2 cups of ripe fruit should yield more or less a cup of juice once it is strained. I use my juicer, but you can use a blender and a ine mesh strainer just as easily. elizabeth Karmel is a grilling and southern foods expert and executive chef at hill country Barbecue Market restaurants.

“I’ve traveled all over,” says Aryen Moore-Alston, 31. “My thing is international cuisine with a twist, and from the comfort of your own home.” Moore-Alston appears on the “Food Network Star,” which debuts Sunday on Food Network.

Memphian gets shot at big time on Food Network, hopes it opens doors

By Jennifer Biggs biggs@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5223

When the call came from Food Network, Memphian Aryen Moore-Alston was excited but wary. At the end of 2012, the selftaught cook submitted a YouTube video to “Food Network Star” and was selected.

“I signed the contracts, did everything,” she said. “But nothing happened. I never heard anything else.”

In December, almost a year later, the phone rang.

“They said, ‘Hi, Aryen. This is Food Network, and we want you.’

I said, ‘Yeah, that’s what you said last time.’ ” But this time it was for sure, and she had to move fast. The 31-year-old single mother had to quit her job as a contract technician for Apple and make arrangements for care of her 3-year-old daughter. A couple of weeks later, she was on her way to ilm the show that debuts Sunday at 8 p.m. on Food Network.

The winner of the contest gets a show on Food Network and possibly stardom: The judges are Alton Brown, Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay. It’s how Guy Fieri got his big break.

“He’s everywhere,” Aryen said.

“Can you believe he has his own Hasbro game?”

That Aryen is a contestant is something that her mother, Karen Moore, says amazes her — and not because she doesn’t have conidence in her youngest daughter.

Moore was an actress and her husband, Gary Alston, a musician. They raised their daughters in Naples, Italy, for most of their childhood, and they encouraged them to explore their artistic sides. Aryen was a dancer; sister Keisha, a singer.

“I just knew I had artistic children, and we did everything we could to encourage them,” Moore said. “But I had absolutely no idea that culinary arts was something

we should have encouraged. Remember, when we left for Italy, there was no Food Network — it was just Julia Child. When we came back, everything had changed.”

But Aryen, whose name is pronounced almost like the constellation Orion, took to cooking anyway. Her father liked to do it and she liked to help.

“When she was 6 years old, we asked the girls what they wanted for Christmas, and Keisha told us what she wanted, then Aryen piped up and said she wanted a cookbook,” Moore said. “Six years old! Of course she got other things, too, but I guess she got a cookbook for Christmas every year after that.”

When she was 11, Aryen wanted to surprise the family with a pancake breakfast. She awoke early and went to ask her dad if it was OK. It was his youngest child who found him; he’d died in the night because of sleep apnea.

“After that, she sort of took over the cooking,” Moore said. “She liked to do it. It reminded her of him.”

Sister Keisha Moore-Alston remembers her pineapple upsidedown cake.

“That was one of the best things I ever tasted,” she said.

“When she kind of took over the cooking, we just all started getting fat.”

They stayed in Italy three more years. “During that time I’d say she really became a cook,” Moore said. “I had a woman who helped me with the girls and the house, and Aryen learned a lot about Italian cooking from her.”

When they moved to Memphis (Alston and Moore met in Memphis, though neither is originally from here), the girls enrolled in Overton High School and Moore started working in real estate, public relations and television.

When she graduated, Aryen went to Spelman College in Atlanta, and spent a year as a student in Japan. She graduated with a degree

Moore-Alston ofers a line of cupcakes called Sweet Potato Baby, sold to groups that use them for fundraisers, and each contains fruit or vegetables.

in computer science and Japanese studies.

But neither particularly excited her. She was living in Los Angeles in 2007 when her mother called.

“She came up with this idea for a show to spotlight homes for sale by cooking in them,” Aryen said.

“The motto was ‘a house is not a home until you cook in it.’ So she had this idea for a cooking show, but I knew she wasn’t going to be the one doing the cooking. I said ‘Who’s going to cook?’ She said ‘You are.’ ” So she came back to Memphis and they ilmed a few shows — Moore thinks four — in 2008. She stayed here, where her mother, sister and boyfriend were, and went to work for Apple.

And she cooked. Like she did in Italy, when she cooked for large groups of friends, she entertained people in Memphis.

When her daughter started eating solid foods, Aryen naturally made everything from scratch. A favorite was a cupcake made with sweet potatoes.

“That has to be my favorite thing that she makes, and it’s hard to pick something because it’s all so good,” Keisha said.

“I never cook exactly from a recipe,” Aryen said. “I always add a little something to it.

OUTDOOR COOKING

Basic tools make backyard grilling easier

By Noelle Carter Los Angeles Times

With the smells of charcoal and propane beginning to perfume backyards across the nation, now is the perfect time to take stock of your equipment. Whether you’re an old hand or are new to this most primal of cooking methods, proper tools count.

Outside of the grill itself, here’s a basic list of all the tools you’ll need so you’re ready when your inner chef hears the call of the great outdoors. All of the equipment should be generally available wherever grills and grilling supplies are sold. They’re also available online.

■ Gloves: When you’re working over high heat, gloves and grill mitts are a great way to keep your hands protected from heat

and occasional lare-ups.

Look for heat-resistant gloves that cover at least part of the forearm for maximum protection.

Prices vary by type and material used, but generally $15 to $30.

■ Chimney: A gas grill is a wonderfully easy way to ire up the grilling season, but for real lavor, nothing beats cooking over charcoal — that is, as long as that great charcoal lavor isn’t ruined by the taste of lighter luid. For a quick, sureire way to light charcoal without having to douse the hardwood or briquettes with lighter luid, try a charcoal chimney starter. It’s simple to use: Crumple some newspaper and stuf it in the bottom of the chimney, then place the charcoal on top. Light the newspaper, and in 15 to 20 minutes your coals will

be ready for their moment. $10 to $15.

■ Tongs: Put the fork away. A good set of tongs will give you a much better grip on your steaks and vegetables, and you won’t have to repeatedly puncture what you’re cooking (remember, it’s already dead). When looking for tongs, reach for a pair of spring-loaded or lexible bent tongs as opposed to a pair joined by a swivel pin (similar to scissors or pliers), as they ofer more control. And consider size.

Tongs range from as short as 6 inches to well over a foot in length. The shorter the tongs, the more control you will have. $5 to $10.

■ Spatula: Like a good set of tongs, a proper spatula is a must-have tool when handling foods on the grill. Standard metal spatulas are thicker and

work well when you’re lipping burgers and larger cuts of meat and poultry.

For delicate items, consider a thin and lexible ish spatula. Consider buying a spatula with wide slats or holes; this allows liquids to drain while minimizing surface contact with food so it doesn’t stick to the spatula. $10 to $20.

■ Grill basket: If you plan to grill small or delicate items such as cut vegetables or fish, consider investing in a grill basket. Perforated open baskets help to keep smaller foods from slipping through the racks, and closed mesh baskets keep delicate foods from crumbling as they’re grilled. Baskets are available at cooking supply stores and where grilling supplies are sold, as well as online. $15 to $20.

KirK McKoy/Los AngeLes TiMes/McT

Having the right tools makes summer grilling easier.

■ Thermometer: When cooking meats or any items for which food safety is a concern, a dependable thermometer is a must. It can give a quick veriication when you want to be sure of the temperature on a chicken breast or steak.

Many digital thermometers have probes attached by wire to the temperature gauge so the probe alone can be left in a larger cut of meat as you check its progress. Remember to clean the probe between

each use to prevent crosscontamination; $5 for a simple dial thermometer to $30 or more for a digital thermometer with a remote probe.

■ Grill brush: A basic grill brush is all you need to keep your grill and racks in working order. Simply heat the grill on high after cooking to char any stuck foods and sauces, then run the stainless steel bristles of a cheap grill brush over the mess to clean it of. $5 to $10.

Schools SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE

Tupelo speller almost reaches Scripps finals C’ville champ trips over ‘uliginous’

By Michael Collins collinsm@shns.com 202-408-2711

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — It wasn’t stage fright that kept Maria Kaltchenko of Tupelo, Mississippi, out of the inals of the 87th Scripps National Spelling Bee. It was a computer test. Two tests, to be precise.

Maria, a seventh-grader at Tupelo Middle School, spelled lawlessly during the bee’s four rounds of oral competition, ighting of nervousness and ac-

ing words “pointelle” and “xerophthalmia” from the stage of the annual contest. By the end of the bee’s sixth round last Thursday afternoon, Maria she was one of 31 Kaltchenko spellers still in the competition.

But her hopes of going on to compete for the title of champion speller ended when the 12 inalists were announced and she failed to make the cut.

The inalists were determined by their overall scores on the two computer tests and the four rounds of onstage spelling. The 12 inalists had an overall score

of at least 62; Maria’s was 47.

The second computer test was harder than she expected — “probably 10 times harder than the irst,” said the 12-yearold, who had worried that she’d get so nervous that she’d lub her words on stage.

Maria earned a trip to the national contest, held just outside of Washington, by winning the Mid-South Spelling Bee back in March.

Maria’s mother, Svetlana Kaltchenko, and her two brothers, Michael and Nicholas, watched from the audience as Maria strolled across the stage four times and easily spelled words that many people could not even pronounce.

“It was nerve wracking,” said her mother, a violinist and orchestra teacher who grew up in Moscow.

In the ifth round last Thursday, Maria stood in front of the microphone, hands folded in front of her, and slowly spelled “pointelle,” which is a design in the shape of chevrons on a fabric.

In the sixth round, she correctly spelled “xerophthalmia,” which is a dry, thickened, lusterless condition of the eyeball.

Though she failed to make the inals, Maria said she was thrilled to get as far as she did, and hopes to return to next year.

To get ready, she said she’ll probably spend more time studying root words.

No reason to panic over Kentucky Lake crappie woes Anglers here in the MidSouth take a very serious approach to their crappie ishing.

When the fishing’s good, they take vacation time, leave work early and brave all sorts of nasty weather just to make a few extra casts.

When it’s bad — which isn’t very often — they want to know right away what the problem is and what should be done to ix it.

Crappie ishing enthusiasts on Kentucky Lake showed remarkable patience in 2013 when the spring spawning run wasn’t as good as it had been in previous years.

But then when the ishing seemed to decline even more this spring, they started searching for answers.

A public meeting was held May 28 at the Henry County Fairgrounds to discuss the situation with various members of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and Tennessee Fish and Wildlife

Commission.

While some suggested drastic measures like lowering the lake’s creel limit from 30 to 20 and raising the minimum length limit from 10 inches to 11 or 12, the conservation oicials basically said they believe Mother Nature needs time to right the ship on her own before extreme regulatory help is considered.

“We think what was to blame more than anything for the drop-of this year was the extremely cold winter and even the cold spring that we had,” said TWRA chief of isheries Bobby Wilson, who attended the meeting. “It threw everything of by

about three weeks, and that could mess things up for the whole year. It’s not that it’s going to be delayed three weeks and then everything just goes back to normal.”

Some of the folks who attended the meeting had other suggestions for why the ishing’s been tough.

Some wondered out loud if the growing number of Asian carp on the lake could be part of the problem, while others pointed toward the drought conditions that have plagued the region the past ive years.

Longtime Kentucky Lake ishing guide Steve McCadams said some

are also wondering if increased ishing pressure on the lake in recent years could be partly to blame.

“A few years back, they lowered the creel limits in Kentucky from 30 to 20,” McCadams said. “They’ve done the same thing on some of the lakes down in Mississippi — and now, a lot of folks from Missouri and other places who were visiting those states are coming here because it’s closer and they can still keep 30 ish. That has a lot of people concerned.”

It certainly makes sense that increased ishing pressure could have left fewer crappie to go around for the anglers

who’ve enjoyed Kentucky Lake at its best, and it might eventually be smart for the lake to conform to the same rules as other nearby lakes in similar situations.

But at the same time, local guides like McCadams and other business owners who depend on the lake don’t want an overreaction to discourage out-of-state tourism.

Changes might be necessary, but it’s too early to make that call.

A couple of subpar years just don’t warrant a long list of knee-jerk reactions for a lake that has featured a lot more good than bad for a long, long time.

CATFISH KING Mississippi angler Phil King is a master at finding massive catfish

By Bryan Brasher brasher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2343

COUNCE, Tenn. — When 82-yearold angler Rheuben McGee boarded Phil King’s 24-foot SeaArk below Pickwick Landing Dam on May 26, he told King the biggest catish he’d ever caught weighed a modest 12 pounds.

King, a longtime catfish guide and winner of numerous major tournaments, took that as a challenge.

He set out trying to put McGee on the catish of a lifetime — and by the time they left the water around 9 p.m., they had boated one cat that weighed 12.5 pounds and two that weighed more than 20.

“I’ve spent a lot of time out here bumping bottom for catish, and I’ve caught a lot of them,” McGee said. “But I never caught any really big ish.

That’s what we were hoping to get on today.”

McGee and his son, Jimmy, who both live near King in Corinth, Miss., came to ish with the famed catish guru because of his reputation for catching big ish. He rarely goes without catching at least one big cat, and he knows how to ind them during any season.

Right now, he’s targeting catish in the post-spawn phase.

“A lot of the catish have just inished spawning, and you’re catching ish that are just coming of the beds,” King said. “The ish that I’m catching from deep water right now are all scratched up with scars that are scabbing over. That tells me they’re just now coming of the beds, and there’s a certain way you have to ish for post-spawn catish that are just getting back into their regular feeding habits.”

A DELICATE APPROACH After a harsh winter that saw the surface water temperatures on Pickwick dip into the 30s for the irst time since 1988, King expected the blue cat spawn to happen a little later than it has in years past.

But when he went out looking for blues in deep water during April and early May, he found they had already moved shallow to spawn much earlier than usual.

While that threw a kink into King’s typical springtime routine, it’s made for some excellent ishing during this valuable portion of the year when school has just let out and daytime temperatures are still relatively mild. But a delicate approach has been necessary for catching catish that are still a little ragged after the rigors of the spawn.

“The females we caught Tuesday night were still slick and in pretty good condition except for the weight loss and egg loss,” King said. “But the male ish are really beat up, and they’ve lost about a third of their body weight. Their tails are all beat up and cut up, and they look pretty rough.”

Since post-spawn ish have usually gone long periods without eating, King said it’s important to downsize your bait.

Longtime catfish guide and tournament champion Phil King (left) helps Rheuben McGee of Corinth, Miss., hold the 12.5-pound catfish McGee caught Tuesday evening below Pickwick Landing Dam. They landed two more catfish in the 20-pound range before their five-hour trip was over.

PHIL KING’S CAREER

Corinth, Miss., resident Phil King is recognized by many as one of the top catfishing guides in the country, and he’s won numerous major catfish tournaments with lots of big cats like this one.

“In a normal situation, we use some really big baits because we’re trying to catch really big ish,” King said. “But in a post-spawn situation, the catish don’t always feel like eating a whole lot. If you use too big a bait, they might just grab the end of it and then let go as soon as you pick up the rod to set the hook.”

One of the 20-pounders King and the McGees caught May 27 bit a one-inch piece of cut bait.

“Think of a person who just lost 50 pounds in a short time,” King said. “That person is likely to be a little weak and probably won’t feel like eating a whole lot. It’s the same way with catish.”

LOOKING TO FIND POST-SPAWN FISH Unlike crappie and bass — two species that move slowly back toward deep water after

spawning in the shallows — King said catish don’t waste any time making their way back to the deep-water structure they call home for most of the year.

He uses a Humminbird 1199 depth inder with a 10-inch screen to identify big ish — and there’s no water on local isheries he considers too deep.

“In a smaller river, ‘deep water’ might mean 20, 25 or 30 feet,” King said. “But on the Mississippi River, it might mean 60, 70, 80 or up to 100 feet. The Tennessee River has some 70-80 feet water, and all of it holds big catish.”

Besides searching for deep water, he also looks for dramatic structural elements along the bottom.

“The bigger the structure, the better for big cats,” King said. “Instead of a slow, sloping drop-of that tapers from

Besides building a reputation as one of the top catfishing guides in the country, Corinth, Mississippi, resident Phil King has won a long list of major tournaments, including the 2007 and 2009 Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest events on the Memphis portions of the Mississippi River.

During that 2007 event, King and his partners became the first anglers to land a 100 pound-plus catfish in an organized event with a blue that weighed 103.10 pounds.

His website at h2ow.com/ catfish/ features tips and tricks to help anglers catch more and bigger catfish.

40 feet to 70 feet over a half a mile, I prefer one that goes immediately from 40 to 70 feet.”

King said he looks for all types of structure — ledges, drop-offs, boulders, sunken brush, standing timber, etc.

— and he uses the side-scan and down-scan features of his Humminbird unit to actually distinguish between “good” ish in the 20-pound range and “really good” ish in the 40- to 60-pound range.

“The electronics we have available today really are amazing,” King said. “If I’ve got my unit on 4X or 6X zoom and I lay my hand next to the screen and see an arc the size of my little inger, that’s a good indication there’s a 40- to 50-pound ish I just rolled over.

“That takes a whole lot of the guess work out of searching for big ish.”

Volunteers needed for Mexico mission trips

By Linda Bourassa Special to The Weekly

Farmington Presbyterian Church is seeking volunteers to participate in one of three mission trips to Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Trips will take place June 17-25, July 8-15 and July 15-22, 2014. Partnering with the Yucatán Water Harvest Mission and the Mexico Cistern Ministry, volunteers on each trip will build cisterns to provide clean drinking water to families in rural areas of Mexico.

“In areas with little or no clean drinking water, these cisterns are literally a lifesaver,” said Todd Luke, associate member of the Campechano Presbytery in Mexico and leader of the cistern-building mission project. “The cisterns are low-tech to en-

sure their longevity, and each one can provide up to 15,000 gallons of clean water annually.”

Since the Presbytery of the Mid-South began participating in these trips in 2002, Mid-South volunteers have built more than 30 cisterns, which provide clean water to hundreds of people throughout the Yucatán Peninsula.

This year, participating churches include Farmington Presbyterian, First Presbyterian Brownsville, Cordova Presbyterian, Germantown Presbyterian, Balmoral Presbyterian, Trinity Presbyterian — Martin, First Presbyterian Blytheville and Evergreen Presbyterian. Additionally, student groups from the University of Memphis, Rhodes College and The University of Tennessee-Martin will

send volunteers.

The cost of the trip is approximately $1,500 per person, which includes airfare, lodging and meals.

Of that cost, $400 will go toward building materials for the cisterns. Additionally, as part of the program, families receiving cisterns help cover the cost by working on cisterns for other families.

Some churches, including Farmington Presbyterian, are making partial scholarships available for participants, who must raise $600 toward the trip before applying for a scholarship.

“Farmington strives to give back to our local community daily through outreach, educational and other programs,” said Rev. Rebecca Luter, pastor of Farmington Presbyterian Church. “These mission

trips give us an opportunity to reach beyond our comfort zone in the MidSouth to help people who lack even the most basic of needs — clean drinking water. Of course, we re-

Gabriel Unda Yemba, a bishop of the United Methodist Church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is visiting Tennessee and spoke last Sunday at the church.

The bishop’s wife and daughter died of malaria, said Birgitte French, pastor of the church.

Malaria “can be prevented by sleeping under mosquito nets,” she said.

“We’ve raised over $500 in our little church to help that.”

There were 207 million cases of malaria in 2012 and an estimated 627,000 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Ninety percent of malaria deaths happen in sub-Saharan Africa with pregnant women and young children being at the highest risk for the mosquito-borne disease.

The “Nothing But Nets” campaign was sparked in 2006 with journalist Rick Reilly’s column in Sports Illustrated in which he called on people to help save lives by making donations for mosquito nets through the United Nations Foundation. The do-

In April for World Malaria Day, Kathy Calvin, the United Nations Foundation presiGabriel Unda dent, said the mortality Yemba rate for malaria has decreased by 48 percent for children under 5 years old and by 42 percent for all ages over the last 10 years, but a child continues to die of malaria every minute.

The United Methodist Church is a founding partner of the global project.

“We lost many, many people,” Yemba said. “In my family, I lost my wife, I lost my child. We thank so much the program.”

French and her husband, Niels, met when they were both missionaries in South Congo. She arrived in South Congo in 1983 from Copenhagen, Denmark, where she grew up. He was raised in the Congo by missionary parents, attended Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Neb., and returned in 1985. They were married in 1987 and were missionaries for 13 years in Congo, Algeria and Kenya.

MY ANSWER

Be patient when God answers in His way

By Billy Graham Tribune Content Agency

Q: I prayed and prayed that God would heal my grandmother, but He didn’t. She was old and in poor health, but I’d always depended on her. Why didn’t God answer my prayers?

— M.F. A: We don’t always know

why God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we think He should. I think of Job’s cry when he mistakenly thought God didn’t hear his prayers: “Why do

you hide your face and consider me your enemy?” (Job 13:24).

Yes, you prayed that your grandmother would be healed, and apparently she wasn’t. But listen: she was! She is in heaven — and all her weaknesses are gone! Thank God that your grandmother is free from all her earthly ills.

Moms Track meets daily during VBS week from 9-10:30 a.m. Meet in the Grand Lobby each morning of VBS. From there, guests will be greeted and escorted to the day’s adventure. vacation Bible school is open to children ages 4 through ifth grade.

Business PRESCRIPTION FOR CARE

Insurers, pharmacists team up for patient awareness BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.

C h at t a n o o g a - ba s e d BlueCross selected a Des Moines, Iowa company founded by pharmacists, OutcomesMTM, to step up the medication therapy management.

The program serves high-risk patients with Medicare Advantage coverage. At high risk are those people with three or more chronic health conditions with a number of medications.

Medicare Advantage, which has private companies deliver Medicare benefits, has required medication therapy management since 2007, King said. BlueCross, with some 80,000 patients in the program, previously used telephone calls for medication

As a pharmacist at a Fred’s Super Dollar store in Bartlett, Bryan Benton knows about drug interactions, side efects and potential savings that patients illing prescriptions may not know.

With a Medicare and insurer-driven practice known as medication therapy management, front-line pharmacists like Benton are being tapped to play a more hands-on role in providing higher quality and more eicient health care. “It truly is a team and pharmacists, we have not used them to their potential,� said Sonya King, pharmacy director for

for the program. At chain pharmacies like Fred’s, a Memphis-based retailer, the revenue for providing the service lows to the company.

For independent pharmacies, it goes to the pharmacist, King said. Benton said he contacts covered customers by phone or at the counter. Usually he asks them to set aside about 30 minutes to visit JIM WEBER/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL
