April 17 Collierville Weekly

By Craig CollierSpecial to The Weekly

On April 12, German-town held its annual Eas-ter Egg Hunt at Cameron Brown Park. To simply refer to it as an egg hunt, however, is not to do it justice.

Dubbed the German-town Easter Eggstrava-ganza, the event featured a petting zoo, inlatable bounce houses and ive egg hunts. Four of the egg hunts were separated by age groups while an extra egg hunt was added this year for those with special needs.

With the help of the Germantown Parks De-partment and numerous volunteers, the annual event saw participation of historic size.

Michelle McDonnell, special events, program and marketing coordina-

tor said, “We had 633 show up for the age 0-2 year-olds and 531 for the 3-4 year-

olds. We will normally see numbers in the 300s for those age groups.”

Hundreds turn out for eggstravaganza

“All the world’s a stage,” William Shakespeare wrote in “As You Like It,” and in recent years directors have looked to prove him right by adapting the Bard’s works to a variety of settings embracing diferent times, cultures and locations — from a New York-mobster “Macbeth” to a teen-comedy “Taming of the Shrew.”

Now Germantown Com-munity Theatre is get-ting in on the act with its unique trailer-park take on Shakespeare’s classic com-edy “Twelfth Night,” which opened last Friday and runs Thursdays-Sundays through April 27.

“There’s a long tradition of putting Shakespeare on Mars, anywhere to shake it up, make it more accessible and fun,” says Germantown Commu-nity Theatre interim man-aging director Renee Davis Brame, who herself has been involved in Las Vegas- and postapocalyptic-set Shake-speare productions.

“With ours, we’re deinite-ly making fun of that trailer-

Christopher Rayder, 15, and his father, Rob Rayder, share a love of running marathons. Rob Rayner, who began running at age 40, challenged himself by running five marathons in five days, with Christopher joining him for two of the marathons.

By Marlon W. [email protected]

When Rob Rayder heard about the Riv-erboat Series marathons, the concept left him shaking his head: Who would think of running ive marathons, in ive days, in ive diferent states?

Then, the idea began to marinate, and what had seemed absurd became intrigu-ing. Before long, Rayder, a 45-year-old phy-sician who lives in Collierville, decided to give it a shot.

“The most I’ve done up to this point is two in two days. There’s something intriguing about the possibility of being able to push yourself beyond what you think is possible,” Rayder said.

“I see other people that have done it, too. It’s possible for them. Why wouldn’t it be possible for me if I trained and take the time

to learn how to do this right?”The series, which is for half and full mara-

thoners, kicked of last Saturday at Colum-bus-Belmont State Park in Columbus, Ky. Last Sunday, it shifted to Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park in Millington.

The inal legs were in Lake Chicot State Park in Arkansas Monday; in Hollandale, Miss., Tuesday; and in Winnsboro, La., on Wednesday

Rayder was joined by his son, 15-year-old Christopher for two of the races.

Christopher, who is a member of the Hous-ton High cross country team, ran the week-end races. He’s done back-to-back marathons

before, including last year when he followed up a three-hour, 12-minute inish with a per-sonal best time of 2:59 the next day.

“It’s deinitely mental,” said Christopher, who holds several state records. “When you get to, like, 20 miles on the irst one, you’re thinking not only are you tired now, but tomorrow you’re going to be tired and exhausted when you get to the start line.”

Unlike his son, Rob has no illusions about winning any of the races. For him, the thrill comes from completing each marathon.

Rayder didn’t start running marathons until he turned 40 in 2008, as a means to lose weight and begin a healthier lifestyle. His irst race was the St. Jude Memphis Mara-thon. Since then, Rayder said, he has run in more than 85 marathons.

“I couldn’t wait for the next one,” Rayder said. “I started signing up for these races all over the place where I could aford to go to, or had the time to go to.”

Judge orders briefs in Joe Brown case

The Nashville judge assigned to preside over former judge Joe Brown’s contempt-of-court ap-peal, stemming from an outburst by Brown last month in Juvenile Court, ordered both sides to ile “concise” briefs by the end of Thursday.

Senior Judge Paul Sum-mers iled an order Mon-day asking for briefs on whether the appeal be-longs in the local Criminal Court or to an appellate court. He scheduled a May 2 hearing on the matter.

Juvenile Court Magis-trate Harold “Hal” Horne found Brown, a retired judge and TV personality, in contempt and sentenced him to ive days in jail on March 24 after Brown called the court “a circus” and a “sorry operation” in front of a crowded court-room.

When a Collierville farmer tried to get a local permit to burn of the stubble of his wheat crop, he entered a gray area on who’s in charge.

Without discussion, the Col-lierville Board of Mayor and Al-

dermen on Monday night unani-mously approved on the second of three readings an ordinance making it illegal to burn of ag-ricultural ields within the city limits.

Unless there is an ordinance, burning permits generally fall under the Tennessee Agricul-ture Department’s Forestry Division. A public hearing and inal reading is set for April 28 at Collierville Town Hall.

In other action Monday, the board agreed to spend almost

$95,000 to renovate historic Col-lierville High for use as the new municipal school district oice at Poplar and Walnut.

The board approved a $58,900 contract for upgrading the elec-trical system with Advance Elec-tric Co., an $18,450 contract with Kiser’s Floor Fashions for new carpeting in the 5,424-square-foot irst loor area and $17,000 for interior painting with Avant Improvement/Construction Co.

School officials expect to move from Town Hall space into

the district oice by mid-May.On the ag-burn issue, Col-

lierville Fire Chief Jerry Craw-ford said smoke from a burning wheat field last June seeped into Kroger’s and HomeGoods stores on Houston Levee near Winchester, forcing customers to leave, only to ind lying ash and embers loating in the air.

“It was setting the ire alarms of” inside HomeGoods, Craw-ford said. In addition, callers were overloading the dispatch center.

Firefighters ended up put-ting the ire out because it had jumped the controlled burn’s perimeter in a few spots.

Like most other towns and cit-ies in Shelby County, Collierville has a “no burn” ordinance, but it does not regulate farm or agri-culture burns.

When the town had fewer res-idents and more farms 20 years ago, it wasn’t as much of a prob-lem. “It’s time to curtail it,” said Collierville Fire Marshal Buddy Billings.

Typically a city manager stays in the job an average of 6.9 years, according to the International City/County Management As-sociation. Not Collierville Town Administrator James Lewellen — he has staying power.

Since coming to Collierville in October 1995, Lewellen has worked under three mayors, seen the town’s population more than double — from 18,000-plus to 46,000, and the budget grow from $29.5 million to more than $60 million.

For his eforts, Lewellen, 57, is being recognized as a top public servant by the Rotary Club of East Memphis. He and Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Chris Craft are the recipients of the 11th Bobby Dunavant Public Servant Award.

They will be honored at a lun-cheon Monday with Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the keynote speaker.

Lewellen is the irst city man-ager to be selected for the award that carries the name of the long-time Shelby County probate court clerk who spent almost 40 years in public service.

The award is based on such characteristics as honesty, ac-cessibility, unpretentiousness and empathy, and goes to a local elected and nonelected oicial.

“I have never had to worry about what James was telling me whether I liked it or not,” said Col-lierville Mayor Stan Joyner.

Added Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser, “His leadership, commit-ment and vision are key reasons why Collierville has grown to be known as one of the most desir-able communities in Tennessee to live and work.’’

Retired town attorney Tom Cates describes Lewellen’s lead-ership style as calm, thoughtful and persuasive.

“I feel like he dodges and weaves as well as anybody can with the position he is in,” Cates said. “He gets along with every-body.”

Lewellen, a native of Ripley, Miss., graduated from Missis-sippi State University with an undergraduate degree in edu-cation and a master’s in public policy and public administration. Before coming to Collierville, he worked as a chief planner for Ger-mantown for four years before being promoted to assistant city administrator there in 1993.

“He’s highly respected across the state with other city manag-ers,” said Germantown Admin-istrator Patrick Lawton. Jimmy Lott, Collierville’s longest-serv-ing alderman, likes how Lewellen goes about the job. No matter who is mayor, Lott says, Lewellen “doesn’t get involved in the poli-tics of the town.”

Lewellen says being the young-est of eight children with three brothers and four sisters served him well. “I learned early on not to get into every ight that comes along.”

When asked about his leader-ship style, Lewellen said jokingly, “My style? I like to intimidate and harass.” But he settled on “par-ticipatory.”

“I don’t tell people what to do. I like to ask a lot of questions. I want people to be creative and not be afraid to speak up.”

park lifestyle, but we’re also really embracing it because we know it’s part of our Southern culture. I think that’s what’s really going to make this acces-sible to people because, no matter what, they’re going to be able to sit in the audi-ence and go: ‘I know that person.’”

As originally written, Shakespeare’s gender bender about shipwrecked twins and their comical pursuit of love was set in Illyria, a land based on an ancient Balkan state but that in the Elizabethan playwright’s imagination became a wholly original place out of time with Ital-ian and English character-istics.

Now director Justin Ash-er has turned Illyria into the Illyrian Pines Mobile Home and RV Park, replete with mullets, pink lamin-gos and beer koozies. The show stars Ellen Saba as the cross-dressing job seeker Viola, David Galloway as her employer/object of

afection Orsino, and Ra-chael Strickland as Orsino’s crush, the widow Olivia, who is in turn in love with the male-disguised Viola. The script features Shake-speare’s original dialogue, but it is spoken in largely Southern accents.

On Saturday, German-

town Community Theatre also will hold its annual spring fundraiser at the Clark Opera Center, 6745 Wolf River Pkwy.

Retitled “The Spring Forward Bash” and moved to a new venue to accom-modate growing crowds, the beneit will feature a

preview of the company’s 2014-2015 season. The event runs 6-9 p.m. Tick-ets are $75.

Special to The Weekly

Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South’s professional classical the-ater, presents William Shakespeare’s “The Tam-ing of the Shrew” inside Dixon Gallery and Gar-den’s Winegardner Audito-rium from April 23-May 4.

Directed by TSC’s founder and producing artistic director Dan Mc-Cleary, this roaring 1920s production is inspired by the European traveling troupes performing Com-media dell’arte during

the life of William Shake-speare.

With a familiarity and even popularity today that rivals that of over 400 years ago, “Shrew” features a famous pair of hardheaded, though soft-hearted, lovers in Kate and Petruchio as they make their way from an impos-sible irst date, through a rushed marriage and famished honeymoon, and inally a rare coming-together that has been staged as many ways as there are productions.

The TSC produc-

tion will place the story in 1927 Memphis in the newly-constructed home of Hugo Dixon on Park Avenue. The play begins when, Mr. Dixon’s singer for the evening becomes inebriated, passes out then awakes to a decep-tion of his being married to Mr. Dixon’s maid and owning the estate, a travel-ing group of vaudevillians show up and put on a play of “mirth and merriment” for Mr. Dixon’s 200 guests.

All performances are general admission. Tickets for the April 23 and April

24 preview performances are $15. All other perfor-mances are $30. April 24 and May 1 are Free Will Kids’ Nights. Children 17 years and younger are admitted free when ac-companied by a paying/attending guardian.

All Dixon members, se-niors and college students receive a 20 percent dis-count with a valid identi-ication. Purchase tickets at TSC’s oice, located at 2260 West St. in German-town, or by calling 901-759-0604, or by visiting tnshakespeare.org.

‘Taming of the Shrew’ headed to Dixon

By Jennifer [email protected]

901-529-2372

When Sandra Abel’s daughter Jennifer joined the arts department at Ger-mantown High School as a freshman in 1987, other par-ents asked Abel if she could lend a hand with a few things behind the scenes.

“I got involved with it and then I started working on the costumes and stuf for the shows, and started going to the shows, and I fell in love,” she said.

Twenty-seven years lat-er, Abel is chairwoman for the parent support group’s largest fundraiser, an on-line and televised auction.

The live portion of this year’s auction was held last Saturday.

Abel said Poplar Pike Arts Guild’s goal was to raise more than $30,000 selling 300-plus items. In-cluded in this year’s auction was a basketball signed by Memphis Grizzlies players,

paintings, purses, spa and restaurant gift certiicates, several baskets of food and goodies.

Until the students run the live show, Abel runs the entire operation out of her Germantown home. “It’s a six-month deal,” she said.

Allison Long, chair-woman of the school’s de-partment of theater and communication arts, said the fundraiser is a vital

part of keeping the pro-ductions running.

“It’s imperative that we have something equivalent to this,” she said.

The money goes toward the department for visual arts, live shows and the TV studio. The funds also help students participate in in-ternational art exchange programs and will assist a group of students who have been invited to per-

form in Scotland next year.Just as beneicial as the

money, Long said, is the moral support. Abel is one of a handful of parents of former students who have continued their service.

“It just means the world to know that what you do, especially as a teacher, is supported by parents, and parents who continue to come back long after their children graduate.”

By Maria Gaxiola, Ike Beck and Grayson ClothierSpecial to The Weekly

For the second consecutive year, eighth grade students from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School partici-pated in Canstruction Jr. sponsored by the University of Memphis College of Engineering and the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Canstruction is a team challenge event that consists of making a themed struc-ture out of cans. This year, the OLPH theme was “Make Hunger Extinct” and students decided to build a long-necked three-dimensional dinosaur with a wall in the back that spelled out “EXTINCT.”

The eighth-graders had a build space that was only 8x8. The structure had to be self-supporting and could only use the food containers and a bit of tape. The main goal of the event is to collect cans for the Memphis Food Bank. The teams raised money to buy their cans and had to use creativity and engineering skills to create their design. Eighth-grader Nico Helms was the team captain.

The OLPH structure used more than

1,400 cans and students were limited to three hours to complete the build. Dur-ing the judging time, the competitors ate lunch and listened to a panel of col-lege students talk about STEM careers. When everything was done, they gave out awards and explained to everyone why was this project is important to the community.

This project is a really good service activity because it helps other people

and makes this community better. OLPH teacher Deidre Mangin said, “I

am so proud of the structure created by our students. It was a fun theme and dif-icult to build. Most of all, I am proud of the maturity, teamwork and poise they displayed during the day at the Univer-sity of Memphis.”

“The Bailey Station Run Club is one of the best things going at our school!” said principal, Cindy Tesreau.

The Run Club was one of the Healthy School Team’s goals two years ago. They were look-ing for a way all students could get exercise that would be af-fordable and convenient for all. Parents and teachers all stepped up and made it happen.

This is the fourth semester the Run Club has been in action. Presently, the Run Club has 150 students and about 45 parents and 14 teachers who come ev-ery Wednesday at 7:20 a.m. to run. The kindergarten through second grade students take the Bailey Bear Boogie track and kids in third through ifth run the perimeter of the school. Stu-dents run until about 8:30 a.m. and then come in the gym to have their marks on their hands counted to track their mileage and to eat a healthy breakfast

bar and drink water. Students re-ceive “toe-tokens” for each run, as well as special tokens when they reach milestones.

Coach Cheryl White, the lead Run Club teacher, says, “The Run Club would not happen without the parents!”

Some parents come and run with the students, but most come to set up cones, be hand markers, track monitors, give out tokens, keep the wall mileage chart up to date or clean up. Key parents send out all e-mails and commu-nications and lineup the parent volunteers each week. Talk about dedication; 10 teachers come to Run Club each week, which is way above the call of duty. Teach-

ers lead students on both tracks and are a great inspiration to the students. Many teachers report improved student behaviors from Run Club members.

For $10 students get to run for eight weeks, receive tokens and a T-shirt and best of all, learn that being it is fun.

Longtime Col-lierville resident Lecile Harris has

been working in rodeos for 59

years. At 77, he’s the second-

oldest rodeo clown, behind

the 80-year-old Rick “the Agin’ Cajun” Young.

When people talk about, “That clown in Town Hall,” they may not be referring to any of Collier-ville’s elected oicials.

With his signature sad-sack clown face, check-erboard shirt and size 56 Wrangler jeans, Lecile Harris may be the only local clown who has a 16-by-20-inch portrait gracing Town Hall.

As a former bull rider and bullighter, Harris has been making people smile and laugh at his antics as a rodeo clown for 59 years.

His height prevented the 6-foot-5 Harris from being a successful bull rider.

He spent most of his career in the bone-breaking, body-bruising business of bull ighting. His maneu-vers often worked, but when they didn’t, the sawed-of tips of a bull’s horns made biscuit-sized bruises.

In his 36 years of ighting 36,000-plus bulls, Har-ris stayed as close to the bull as possible to avoid it building up momentum.

While today’s bullighters wear shin guards, Kev-lar vests and hip pads, Harris’ only protection was his quick cutaway football patterned moves, long underwear and baggy pants.

“It is very unusual to be doing clowning for this long. He certainly is in an elite group,” said Profes-sional Rodeo Cowboys Association spokesman Jim Bainbridge. Named the association’s Clown of the Year four times in the 1990s, Harris was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2007.

Now 77, Harris last illed in as a bullighter when

he was 71.In his prime, Harris knew he couldn’t outrun

1,800 pounds of charging dynamite on four hooves. “There’s a split second to make your move,” he

said. “If you move too quick, he’s going to cut you of

and freight train you. It’s your job to make yourself a more desirable target than the cowboy.”

But Harris also learned even clowning can be dangerous.

Four years ago, a bull slipped out of his chute and into the arena in Roanoke, Va. “I was working the crowd. I think he (bull) said, ‘I can get the old guy. He’s not looking.’ He hit me from behind,” said Harris who was knocked out.

With his high threshold of pain, even that failed to convince him to retire from the dusty rodeo life he loves.

For a while, his son, Matt Harris, played his com-edy sidekick.

Two years ago his son retired.The elder Harris said with a laugh: “Now what’s

wrong with that picture?”Instead of 140 rodeos a year, Harris has cut his

workload in half as the second-oldest rodeo clown behind 80-year-old Rick “The Agin’ Cajun” Young who hits about 14 shows a year.

“Lecile is one of the best in the country,” said Young.

“We’re becoming a lost breed. We keep the ro-deo moving. We ill in the dead spots but we’re not dead yet.”

Regarding his Town Hall photo, he said town oicials asked for one about 10 years ago.

“I feel like it’s ittin’ up there — with all the rest of the clowns,” he said jokingly.

All funny stuf aside, Harris, who has lived in Collierville since he was 4, signed his portrait, “I’m proud to say, Collierville is my hometown.”

Paragon National Bank is currently showcasing artwork by students from St. Louis Catholic School for the public to preview at its Saddle Creek location, 7600 Poplar until April 30. The bank worked with the school’s art teacher, Robin Durden, to select and dis-play artwork by 11 third grade students and 10 ju-nior high students.

St. Louis is the seventh local school art exhibit that Paragon has hosted during the 2013-2014 school year.

“Showcasing artwork created by gifted, local artists has been such a treat for our company,” said Robert Shaw, chief executive oicer of Para-gon National Bank. “Each year, we continue to be in-spired by the talent these exceptional young stu-dents have and are thrilled to feature that of St. Louis School during the month of April.”

The third grade student

artwork that’s currently on display features drawings of each student’s stufed animal from observation. During this project, stu-dents learned how to mix new colors and how to layer oil pastels. The junior high students created artwork inspired by Austrian artist and architect, Wundert-wasser. The students cre-ated a tree with repeated patterns and bright colors, similar to what one would ind on Wundertwasser’s paintings and architectural pieces.

The work was created by Finley Carney, Lindsey Crossnine, Anne Grimes, Mary Grimes, Charlie Hately, Melissa O’Neill, Hana Roberts, Mia Soefk-er, Anna Kate Wade, Ava Wendt and Audrey Zweig, Karen Benedict, Sophie Cervetti, Raymond Frac-chia, Catie Grusin, Mason Hall, Garret Knot, William Newsom, Franco Nayan, Anna Sloka and Emily Wilson.

>>> WARM COLORSDiferent colors look better on difer-ent people, and a lot of that has to do with undertones in the skin.

The easiest way to igure out your skin’s undertone is to lip over your wrist and check out your veins. Do they appear more bluish-green or more bluish-purple?

If your answer is bluish-green, you most likely have warm undertones in your skin. The yellows in your skin allow you to wear earth tones, as well as reds, yellows and oranges, very well. You may also prefer gold jewelry to silver.

But if you look better in silver, and have a bluish-purple tint to your veins, you most likely have cool undertones. Members of the cool family will shine in metallic col-ors, as well as in blues, greens, and violets.

That’s not to say that a person who has warm undertones can never wear purple. Knowing your undertone simply helps to explain why some colors look diferent on your skin than on a hanger.

If you’ve never considered your skin’s undertone while shopping, try to incor-porate a few colors from your spectrum of the color wheel into your wardrobe. Depending on the results, you may start buying clothes with an eye for your most complimentary colors.

When you put good stuf in, you tend to get good stuf out. This is true for so many things in life, such as quality-time in a relationship, whole foods in a meal, and, of par-ticular interest this month, nutri-ents’ impact on skin health. You’ve probably heard about inlammation in the media or even at your doc-tor’s oice. Inlammation, in short, is when your tissues become irri-tated and disturbed in some way. In addition to links to several chronic diseases, inlammation and nutrient deiciencies have been connected to skin issues like adult acne, rosacea, and even eczema.

If you’re trying to improve your diet with complexion in mind, here are a few research-based sugges-tions. Diets high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D have been associated with reduced inlammation and healthier skin. Start by focusing on getting a va-riety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Berries, particularly blueberries and cranberries, pack a powerful antioxidant punch. Other fruits and veggies to include in your weekly menu are carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes (not just the red ones), apples, onions, garlic, and citrus fruits. If you are adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet, it’s hard to go wrong.

You don’t want to miss out on the glowing beneits of a diet high in omega-3 fats either. Omega-3 fats have not only been linked to reduced inlammation and beautiful skin, but also have been associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and depression. So as you’re planning meals make sure to include omega-3-rich foods like salmon, halibut, and fresh tuna. Given that fresh seafood isn’t always that easy to come by in our area, you can add foods fortiied with omega-3s like eggs, organic milk, and some juices. Don’t forget to throw some walnuts in your snack bag for omega-3s on the go.

Vitamin D not only plays a critical role in promoting bone health, im-mune function and reduced inlam-mation; studies suggest deiciency is linked to several types of cancers. We still have so much to learn about this powerful nutrient and are real-izing that even a well-balanced diet may not provide all we need. As we protect our skin with clothing, by staying indoors, and with sunscreen moisturizers, we also block the ab-sorption of this crucial “sunshine vitamin.” Food sources of vitamin D include wild-caught salmon, catish, cod liver oil, mushrooms, fortiied dairy and eggs.

Remember, quality ingredients in-side tend to produce better quality outside. A diet high in whole foods and reduced in processed foods is the way to go for an overall quality diet.

Berries, particularly blueberries and cranberries, pack a powerful antioxidant punch.

As the French say, “il faut soufrir pour etre belle.”

One must sufer to be beautiful.Although this is an old saying, a recent

dermatologic study has demonstrated that some people inadvertently take the concept literally to meet society’s gold standard of beauty.

Worldwide, the number of skin cancer cases due to tanning has oicially exceed-ed the number of lung cancer cases due to smoking, according to a study released Jan. 29 by JAMA Dermatology.

In addition, 419, 254 new skin cancer cases in the United States can be attribut-ed to indoor tanning each year, and 6,199 of them are malignant melanoma cases.

Every hour, someone in the United States dies from malignant melanoma, the American Cancer Society estimates. And those who tan in indoor tanning machines are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors.

Scared? “Good,” says Dr. Kathryn Schwarzenberger, chair of the new Ka-plan-Amonette Dermatology Depart-ment at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

“As a dermatologist, I hate indoor tanning because every day I see what I believe to be are the consequences of it,” she said. “Some days, it’s just young women with much more sun damage than they should have at their ages. But the most devastating cases are young women who walk in and take of their clothing and I see a skin cancer that I know is going to kill them.”

Before joining UTHSC, Schwarzen-berger was professor of medicine in the Division of Dermatology at the Univer-sity of Vermont College of Medicine. While there, she was among a group of dermatologists who, in 2012, helped pass legislation banning the use of tanning beds by minors in Vermont. Currently,

California, Illinois, Nevada, Texas and Vermont ban the use of tanning beds for all minors younger than 18. In Tennes-see, minors need parental consent to use tanning beds.

Despite laws and research, the JAMA Dermatology study shows that use of tanning beds among young women and minors is on the rise: 55 percent of university students and 19.3 percent of adolescents reported that they had been exposed to indoor tanning in their life-time, up from 43.1 percent of university students and 18.3 percent of adolescents the year before.

“I think at this point nobody can suc-cessfully argue that there isn’t a link be-tween melanoma and tanning,” Schwar-zenberger said. “In 2009, the World Health Organization reclassiied indoor tanning as a Class 1 carcinogen, which means that it is known to cause cancer.”

In response to that classiication, the International Tanning Association President Dan Humiston noted in a news release that other items in the Class 1 carcinogen category are the actual sun, red wine, beer and salted ish.

“The ITA has always emphasized the importance of moderation when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a tanning bed,” Humiston wrote.

Tom Barzizza, spokesperson for Palm Beach Tan, which has franchise loca-tions throughout the country, as well as locally in Memphis, Germantown, Col-lierville and Cordova, echoes the mod-eration message.

“Palm Beach Tan has always advised our members on the importance of mod-eration and responsible tanning when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a sun bed,” Barzizza said. “In addition, in a controlled environment such as Palm Beach Tan, trained operators properly maintain UV tanning equipment and control all tanning exposure times to minimize a client’s risk of overexposure and sunburn.”

Palm Beach Tan ofers both sunbed tanning and spray tanning, with sunbed tanning being the more popular option, Barzizza said. A “cocktail” of using both methods also is gaining in popularity. Per state regulations, the salon requires written parental consent from customers younger than 18 who want to tan in the beds.

“We also feature an industry-irst ‘Under 18 Sunless Tanning Member-ship,’ which is discounted so our un-der-18 customers can enjoy unlimited spray tanning for the price of our most economical sunbed membership,” said Barzizza, who added that less than one-and-a-half percent of Palm Beach Tan’s customers are minors.

Sunless tanning has Schwarzenberg-er’s blessing, although she says people need to remember that a spray tan doesn’t protect the skin from sun damage.

“It’s not without the risk of complica-tions — some people do have allergic re-actions to the chemicals used. But other than that, it’s generally a pretty safe and benign temporary color on your skin,” she said.

GOLD STANDARD

While some dermatologists decry the use of tanning beds, members of the tanning industry are quick to point out that, like exposure to the sun, tanning should be done in moderation.

Some link an increase in skin cancer to increased use of indoor tanning while others say radiation from the beds is no more harmful than the sun.

At 18, Gareth Munro stepped onto a profes-sional soccer field in Scot-land and played in front of a crowd of 36,000 people.

“I’ve never been so nervous,” said Briarcrest Christian School head soc-cer coach Munro, now 31. “I was 18 years old playing against the guys I watched on TV as a kid.”

Munro’s team lost to the No. 1-ranked soccer team in the country that day, but he takes that memory with him to work today.

“I use (memories) to encourage myself to work hard every day,” said the Cordova resident. “You want to work hard for the kids. You want to go home thinking, I gave my best today.”

After playing soccer professionally for four years, Munro enrolled at Union University in Jack-son, Tenn., where his soc-

cer team went undefeated at home his last 2½ years in school.

Now he’s working to-ward that kind of record for the Saints — whose current record is 1-7. The team won three games last season despite having 11 seniors on its roster.

“When they brought me in, they sat me down and told me this was going to be a big challenge,” he said. “They were worried if we would even have a team.”

When the school year started, 18 students signed up. Weeks later, the team grew to 31 student athletes and Munro was able to form a junior-varsity team.

“I’m a full year ahead of where I wanted to be as a coach,” Munro said.

Beth Rooks, Briarcrest director of communica-tions, said the students are drawn to Munro.

“He has the right heart for this,” she said. “He can attract students to want to learn to play soccer and build them into a great

team. They know he has the expertise.”

Munro said he tries to motivate his students to achieve their individual levels of success and do ev-erything with excellence in mind.

“I told them we are no longer the Mickey Mouse Club; you’re going to show up on time,” he said. “I tell them they have to

take pride in the fact that they’re on the team. These are lessons that go beyond the field.”

Though he is tough on them, he said, he laughs of-ten with his team and tries to inspire them to work harder — as long as they don’t call him “sir.”

“I want them to know, hey, I’m your coach, but I’m also your buddy.”

Mindy Johnson, moth-er of sophomore soccer player Sam Johnson, sent Munro an e-mail after see-ing how Munro interacted with the players.

“I could not be hap-pier (with) the way you are handling the soccer team,” she said in the e-mail after Munro got the team practice uniforms and hung their jerseys in

the locker room before the first game. “Sam was so discouraged last year that he almost threw in the towel. I am so very grateful that he didn’t. To see him so blessed is a gift.”

Munro was honored that she took the time to write.

“I took $2 out of my pocket to buy hangers,” he said. “I would’ve paid $200 just to hear that.”

There was no room for half-stepping in the boys 400 meters at the Hous-ton Track Classic last Sat-urday.

And the fastest stepper of all was Southwind’s Jimmy Keys.

Competing against a state-caliber ield, Keys, a senior, broke the meet record, coming home in a time of 48.31 seconds.

The second-, third- and fourth-place runners — Malik Elion of Houston, Germantown’s Jalen Ed-wards and Briarcrest’s Jay Robinson — also broke the meet record and the top ive inishers — in-cluding Terrell Jackson of MUS — came in at under 49 seconds.

“I’m satisied. I give my-self a ‘B,’” said Keys, who later in the day won the 200 in a time of 22.01.

“I’m just trying to come out here at set a good standard. I’m still trying to come back from my leg injury (during last year’s track season) but I’m hap-py.”

Southwind coach Ced-ric Miller was also quite pleased, tweeting after

the meet, “that was the old Jimmy Keys today.”

The race was the high-light of what organizers believe to be the biggest meet in the state with over 1,000 athletes competing.

“It was an amazing ield,” said Elion, who will run for Tennessee next season.

“I was kind of shocked (at the speed) but I enjoyed it. When we hit that home-stretch it was like ‘go.’ It’s still April ... somebody might pull out a 47 for all we know.”

Elion also inished sec-ond in the 200, helping Houston win the boys team championship, 117-64.5 over CBHS.

The Mustangs had irst-place inishes from Wes-ley White (110 and 300 hurdles), Sam Kempka (discus) and the 800 and 3,200-meter relay teams.

Cordova’s Mo Maat, who came within one-tenth of a second of a state record in the 100 last week, won the event in 10.79. Bolton’s Artavius Gray broke the meet re-cord in the triple jump by almost two feet (48-10.5) while also winning the long jump.

The boys 3,200 was also a highlight, with White

Station’s Denver Hud-smith holding of a last-lap charge by Drew Carf of Collierville to win in 10.09.80.

Whitehaven won the girls championship, 103-97 over Houston.

It’s the second major team victory of the year for the Tigers, who also took the title at the prestigious Sugar Bowl Classic in New Orleans last month.

The Tigers got another strong performance from junior Maia McCoy. The defending AAA state champion in the 100 and 200 set meet records in winning both races Sat-urday, inishing the 100 in 11.9 and the 200 in 24.36. She also ran on the Tigers’ winning 800-meter relay team.

“I think I surprised my-self and my coaches,” said McCoy, last year’s Best of the Preps girls track ath-lete of the year.

“Last year, I didn’t get into the 11s and the 24s this early. In the 100 I think I could have gotten out of the blocks a little better. And I’m just getting my form better after basket-ball season.”

Whitehaven also got strong performances from Kiara Rhodes, who won

the high jump and placed second in the 300 hurdles and Gatashyka Lyons, who was second in both the 200 and 400.

Future Western Ken-tucky runner Alexa Brain-ard, who won the 1,600, finished second in the 3,200, third in the 800 and

ran on Collierville’s sec-ond-place distance medley relay team, was named the meet’s Most Outstanding female performer.

In high school softball, a team with one star pitcher has a great chance to win. A team with two has a great chance to win a whole lot of games.

And if a team has a pair of pitchers like Collierville’s Bay-leigh Wisher and Kelsey Gross, it has a realistic chance of winning some championship hardware.

“It’s really a blessing for us to have two great pitchers,” said longtime Dragons coach Mike Bradley. “In the past we’ve had one, but never two. I tell the team when you go to church on Sundays to put an extra dollar in the collection plate because we’re very blessed.”

Wisher, a junior right-hander, and Gross, a sophomore right-hander, have been the mainstays for a Dragons team that is ranked irst in The Commercial Appeal’s Super Six. After qualifying for the AAA state tournament last season — and returning home quickly after losing the irst two games in the double-elimination tournament — Collierville, with a record of 24-4-1, looks like a good bet to return.

Numbers tell part of the story.Wisher, who was a Best of the

Preps player of the year inalist in 2013, is 16-1 with a 1.23 earned run average. Gross is not far behind at 8-3-1 with a 1.65 ERA. Together, they’ve pitched every inning for the Dragons this year.

Wisher and Gross were at their best during a tournament earlier this month in Ooltewah, Tenn., against some of the best competition in the state. In six games, they combined to al-low just two runs and 20 hits as Collierville inished in second place.

“They’re both such great com-petitors,” said Bradley. “Neither one of them wants to give the batter an inch. It’s kind of hard to explain, but when the lights come on, they just compete.

“Bayleigh just gets so ready to play and Kelsey’s kind of in the same mold.”

And their contrasting styles help keep batters of balance.

“Kelsey is more of a power pitcher, while Bayleigh is more of a movement pitcher,” said catcher Jacqueline Conlan. “I’ve seen (batters get intimidated) a couple of times. But I think they’re both just really good leaders. They really pick us up when we’re down and tell us to

stay up and stay positive.”Bradley said both players

have a similar arsenal of pitches. Wisher’s go-to pitch is an inside fastball — “ever since I was lit-tle” — while Gross will use her fastball to set up her of-speed pitch and then come in on the batter with a nasty screwball.

Gross said their development is not surprising, considering how far back they go.

“We actually took our irst pitching class together when she was nine and I was eight,” she said. “We’ve always had a friendly competition between us but we know we can come back and we’ll each have the other’s back.”

In addition to their pitching, both have also been terrors at the plate, particularly Wisher, who plays irst base when Gross pitches and vice versa. She leads the area with 10 home runs while driving in 39 runs and batting .576.

“I kind of am (surprised) that

I’m hitting so well,” said Wisher. “Last year I only hit one home run (for Collierville) and two (including ofseason ball) so to hit (10) in half-a-season is kind of crazy.

“I’m just really conident in my hitting. I’m not going up there trying to hit home runs. I’m just thinking ‘line drive, line drive, line drive.’ ”

Said Bradley, “Bayleigh’s just the total package. She could real-ly play any position on the ield.”

And unlike some talented players who can be less-than-patient with teammates who aren’t on their level, Wisher is a consummate example of the star who leads.

“Last year at the state tourna-ment we were all so young and really nervous,” she said. “But the experience helped my self-confidence coming into this year.

“With me being a veteran on the team I just go out and do my thing and work hard. But I also try to encourage the other girls.”

Gross — the team’s cleanup hitter — follows a similar ap-

proach at the plate, where she’s hitting .448 with three homers and 19 RBI.

“When I’m pitching I focus on pitching and try not to worry about hitting,” she said. “And when I’m hitting I don’t worry about pitching. I just think about getting a base hit.”

Having Gross totally healthy has been another huge factor. She missed the last half of the 2013 season after injuring her thumb.

“I was ielding grounders with my dad and a joint popped,” she said. “I had surgery on April 15th and now I have three screws in my thumb. It’s fully healed but I can still feel it when the weather changes.”

Despite that injury, Col-lierville was still able to reach the state tournament last year, thanks to Wisher shouldering the entire pitching load. Bradley acknowledged that it was tough on his star. But just having that experience has helped fuel the team’s desire to get back.

And this time, they plan on being fully loaded.

Last Wednesday’s opening night of the an-nual Rivals Classic soccer showcase matched the area’s two most successful schools, Christian Broth-ers and Houston.

Or as Mustangs coach David Wolf put it to one of his players during a break in the action, “hey man, this is big boy soccer.”

The game did not disap-point either, and the Broth-ers and Houston battled to a 1-1 tie. Houston, which was No. 1 in last week’s Commercial Appeal Su-per Six, was 7-1-1 after the match, while third-ranked CBHS was 5-2-2.

“I think it was an appro-priate score,” said Wolf. “These are the two best programs in the area. I told them after the game that I thought it would be a 0-0 game. Possession was about 50-50.”

Predictably, Brothers coach Rogerio Lima saw things a little diferently.

“I feel like we should have won the game,” he said. “When they scored, they were playing better than we were and when we scored we were play-ing better.

“But if you look at the whole game, I feel like we were attacking more and creating the better chanc-es.”

After a relatively quiet opening 40 minutes, the match roared to life in the second half.

Houston goalkeeper

Jeremy Albright made a nice save to deny Broth-ers freshman Cole Can-non three minutes after the restart.

The Mustangs were on the board two minutes later. William Keenan laid the ball of to Logan Thornburg, who had made a nice overlapping run. Thornburg shot straight at CBHS goalkeeper Nick Mathews, who could only delect it.

Josh Moss alertly pounced on the rebound to give Houston the lead.

CBHS began to throw players forward and Ju-lian Raney got an apparent equalizer in the 70th min-ute that was disallowed because of an ofsides call.

“It seems like every game there’s been calls that have gone against us,” said Lima. “We have to play through that ad-versity.”

There was no question about the tying goal. Bar-rett Mills crossed to the far post for Nicholas Pietran-gelo, who headed it home with three minutes left in the match.

“Most of my guys are two years younger than his guys and this is the kind of game that helps them to grow into men,” said Wolf. “But in a game of this mag-nitude, you have to inish. It doesn’t matter how old you are.”

After four years of ex-pansion across the nation, Orangetheory Fitness is muscling its way into the Tennessee market.

Beginning this month, the Florida-based itness center franchise will open the irst of several planned locations across Tennes-see. The Brentwood loca-tion will open its doors next week, followed by the Germantown workout fa-cility, located at Forest Hill Irene and Poplar, on May 8.

For co-owner Greg Mc-Gowan, operating his own business has always been a dream. After 25 years in the health and itness pro-fession, it was only natural for the Memphis native to start his own workout fa-cility.

“I always wanted to ind a business that was community based and it was a great idea to bring

(Orangetheory Fitness) to Tennessee and Memphis, McGowan said.

Construction for the Germantown Orangethe-ory Fitness was recently completed and occupies the former Anytime Fit-ness in the Stone Creek Shopping Center. The 3,000-square-foot build-ing ofers two itness areas — one for cardio and the other for weights — along

with locker rooms and showers.

Where Orangethe-ory difers from other it-ness centers is its unique, 60-minute workout regi-men, said head trainer Dan Margritz. Each class fo-cuses on heart rate-based treadmill interval training mixed with indoor rowing, SBT bands (TRX bands) and free weights. Before every class, each partici-

pant is itted with a heart rate monitor and through-out the workout everyone’s heart rate is displayed on television screens — with orange being optimal level for burning calories — to help motivate clients.

The key to burning be-tween 600 to 1,000 calo-ries in 60 minutes, Mar-gritz explained, is interval

training. The unique pro-gram also helps burn cal-ories up to 36 hours post workouts.

“Interval training helps burn three times as many calories,” he said. “I be-lieve in being eicient. If you do it the right way you can work everything in 60 minutes.”

Each person’s workout

routine also can be custom-ized for people of all itness levels, including beginners or ultra athletes. So far, Margritz said, the respons-es have been positive.

“Everyone likes it and is excited,” Margritz said. For more information about Orangetheory Fit-ness, visit orangetheory-itness.com.

Family

It’s a conundrum many par-ents face: what to do with the steady low of drawings, paint-ings, collages and more that children bring home from school and camp? Which are the keep-ers, and — besides sticking them up on the refrigerator with magnets — how can you display them creatively?

“They caught me throwing some away, and they were not happy about it,” Mandy Rose of Carterville, Ill., said of her three children.

Rose, who loves to decorate her house, decided to combine some of her kids’ work with professional pieces and family photos in a montage on her din-ing room wall. She even commis-sioned one of the kids to create a inger painting for an eye-catch-ing frame she had bought.

“People always ask, ‘Did your

kids make that?’” she said. “It’s a real conversation-starter.”

Children’s art absolutely has a place in home décor and can add a welcome personal touch, said Esther Sadowsky, owner of Charm & Whimsy, an interior design irm in Jersey City, N.J.

“Sometimes my jaw drops when I see the work of my cus-tomers’ children,” she said. “Children’s art displayed in a house — it’s a home then.”

Like Rose, Sadowsky sug-gests displaying kids’ works in art groupings. She often lays out the pieces on the loor so she and her client can visualize how they it together.

Sadowsky has sent parents to big-box stores or craft stores to buy inexpensive frames. It’s pos-sible to ind frames with precut mats for a more professional look. Do-it-yourselfers also can use construction paper or foam core to create mats for artwork, she said.

In her children’s playroom, Rose strung wire between two hooks and allows the kids to pick and choose what they want to hang up. The setup al-lows them to highlight favorite paintings and projects until they make something they like better.

Finding a temporary place like that to display work makes sense, agreed Jefry Cudlin, a professor of curatorial studies and practice at Maryland Insti-tute College of Art in Baltimore. He routinely highlights the work of his 4-year-old son, Miles, at home to show him that the fam-ily values handmade art.

Cudlin uses binder clips to hang Miles’ art in an ornate frame that usually hangs in his dining room; the clips mean he can rotate diferent pieces through the frame for an ever-changing display.

Deciding which pieces to keep long-term can be a challenge,

Cudlin said. He looks for work that includes loved ones or com-memorates a special event. He routinely frames Miles’ work and gives it to family members who are represented in the draw-ing.

He also inds that he appreci-ates many of his son’s drawings more after he asks questions about them. The art provides in-sights into how the preschooler views the world, and helps pre-serve his thoughts, Cudlin said.

“His way of thinking about

things — the way he experiences the world — you’re not going to get that back,” he said.

Cali Sanker, education coor-dinator of the Ohio State Uni-versity Urban Arts Space in Co-lumbus, recommends saving a child’s pieces from various ages to create an artistic record of his or her growth.

“It is not only a special way to reminisce about your child’s younger years, but a special way of embracing how much they have grown,” she said.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Lexi and Nick Schnei-der, 8-year-old twins, are used to doing chores around their home in Grand Forks; they’ve been doing them for half of their lives.

Nick takes out the trash and recycling, and Lexi helps with laundry, said their mom, Kristine Schneider. They both vac-uum.

“They don’t always readily do their chores,” she said, “but they know it has to be done. They just know it’s expected of them.”

When the twins were about 4, Schnei-der posted a list of daily tasks the twins were supposed to do, such as picking up their toys and clearing their plates from the table.

She wanted to “instill responsibility and a work ethic” at a young age, she said. For each completed “job,” they earned a star on the “chore chart.”

To motivate them, she kept a basket of “prizes,” including little toys and books. If they completed their chores, they could pick a prize, she said. “I always tried to have cool stuf in the basket — nothing expensive, but things I knew they liked.”

How parents approach the idea of hav-ing kids do chores varies with each family and may be changing in American house-holds, said Dawnita Nilles, a doctoral stu-dent in the University of North Dakota’s Department of Teaching and Learning.

It raises questions about what tasks, if any, children should do and whether pay-ment or other rewards should be given.

When raising kids, some parents follow the example they grew up with, Nilles said. Others do too, but with modiication. Some don’t require their kids to do chores at all.

Schneider said she “absolutely” did chores growing up.

“I don’t remember what age I started. It seems like something I was always ex-pected to do,” she said, “but I was never compensated for it.”

Her husband, Joe, was compensated, “but not very much,” for mowing the lawn and taking out the trash, among other tasks.

Unlike parents of the past, parents to-day may have diferent expectations about chores, she said.

“It’s not so much that kids today (are required) to do less chores but that kids are busier. My kids are involved in more activities than I was at their age.”

Those activities also provide valuable lessons for the daughters, ages 12 and 16, whom she and her husband, Matt, are rais-ing, she said.

“It’s just the nature of our society to-day. I think we’re hugely tired in our lives. There can be a sense of, ‘it’s just easier if I do it myself.’”

Parents need to consider, “Are we doing enough to teach our kids how to do what’s needed to run a household … and the skills to do that?” she said. “A child isn’t born knowing how to do laundry. They won’t learn it by me doing it … .”

Generally, child development experts conirm that “chores are deinitely a ben-

eit to young kids,” Nilles said. “I haven’t come across any drawbacks.”

Parents can introduce this concept of chores early, even at 16 months old, for example, “by helping them put all their blocks away,” she said.

“You can start as soon as they begin asking questions and wanting to help. … I’m a big believer in following cues from the child.”

Doing chores gives children “a sense of responsibility, of being a member of a fam-ily,” she said, “and it’s an authentic way of learning how a household runs.”

Children also gain “a sense of being a part of a team that is working in the fami-ly,” she said. “They’re learning skills they’ll need later on in life.”

As adults, they will have a basic frame-work for how they function in other set-tings, she said.

“They’ll think, ‘I’m a member, and I have a responsibility for what happens here in the workforce or school.’ Everyone has a role.”

Jennifer Dame’s three daughters — Madison, 10, Nicolette, 8, and Delanee, 3 — have been doing chores since they were old enough to start putting toys away and other tasks, their mom said.

At a young age, “they love doing those kinds of things,” said Dame, of Grand Forks. “They are mimicking you, and want to help.”

Her daughters are responsible for tasks such as doing dishes, putting away their laundered clothes, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and taking out garbage, she said. “They’re in charge of taking their (clothes) hampers to the laundry. We help the 3-year-old.”

Doing such tasks “helps them realize that it’s part of teamwork.”

“I tell them, ‘we don’t hire a maid; we have children,’” she said with a laugh.

When asked about chores at home, “some of my kids’ friends say, ‘no, the maid does that,’ ” Dame said. “A lot of them are surprised that my kids vacuum, dust and clean bathrooms.”

She and her husband, Patrick, do not pay their children for doing chores, she said. “We tell them, ‘these are things we have to do to live in the house.’”

Q Our 4-year-old daugh-ter has a huge problem

with being laughed at. She loves to be goofy and do funny things, but as soon as someone, including one of us, laughs at her, she be-comes upset. She will say “Don’t laugh!” or “I don’t want you to laugh at me!”

We explain that we aren’t laughing at her, but at the funny things she does. We’ve also told her that we laugh because we are happy and having a good time with her. Is there a diferent way to ex-plain this to her so that she will understand that we aren’t trying to be mean or tease her in anyway?

A Maybe. First, some background.

A child’s social person-ality is forming at this age. As such, it’s not unusual for a 3- or 4-year-old to be somewhat “conlicted” when it comes to personal-ity traits like introversion versus extroversion. Some 4-year-olds, for example, are very self-conscious and therefore easily em-barrassed when people pay attention to things they’re doing. Others are hams and love to perform and make people laugh.

It sounds to me like your daughter is caught betwixt and between these two op-posing traits, as if she can’t make up her mind whether she wants to be a comedian or not. If you only continue to muddle through these upsets as you’re doing this little bump in the road will smooth itself out within a year or two. There may be some things you can do to hurry the process along.

Obviously, trying to explain your laughter af-ter she has become upset is not working; therefore, I recommend that you be more proactive. I call the approach “Striking While the Iron is Cold” — in oth-er words, deal with the problem or issue when it’s not taking place and hasn’t for a while. Sit down with her at a time when the home has been calm for a while and this par-ticular issue hasn’t hap-pened for a day or more. Tell her that you want to talk about her reaction to people who laugh when she does funny things.

To help her understand that the laughter is not personal, point out times when she has laughed when someone else, even a character on one of her favorite television shows, has done something fun-ny. Then, ask her what she wants you (and other people) to do when she does something funny.

“I’ve decided my bridge would benefit if I took up yoga,” Unlucky Louie told us in the club lounge. “It would help my concentration.”

“The next time you’re at the dentist,” Cy the Cynic advised, “tell him you don’t want any painkiller. You can transcend dental medication.”

“Go ahead and make your jokes,” Louie growled, “but meditating is better than just sitting around doing noth-ing.”

Louie was today’s East. When West led the jack of clubs against four spades, Louie took his ace and con-centrated fiercely, but he finally decided that his best defense was to do nothing: He would sit back and wait for two heart tricks. So Louie led a diamond.

South won and started the trumps, and Louie took his ace and exited with a trump. Declarer drew trumps, cashed the queen of clubs, led a dia-mond to dummy and discard-ed a heart on the king of clubs. He lost one heart but made his game.

In many deals, a “passive” defense is best: When you must lead, you try for safety. You don’t lead something that will give declarer a trick that isn’t his anyway.

This was not such a deal. Louie can count five trump tricks, three diamonds and two clubs for South. The de-fenders must win four tricks before South takes 10.

Louie’s only chance is to get a club ru�, hence he must find a way to give West the lead. At Trick Two Louie leads the queen of hearts. When South takes dummy’s king and leads a trump, Louie wins, leads a low heart, finds West with the jack and ru�s the club return for down one.

Dear Harriette: Every time I see my grandmoth-er — every month — she gives me a present. She is so sweet, and I really ap-preciate it. My question is should I be sending her a thank-you note every time? Since she’s been doing this for years, I re-ally haven’t been writing her notes. But then I had the thought the other day that she probably would appreciate a note from me and it might even spark her to write back. It would be awe-some to have letters from my grandmother to hold onto. What do you think?

— Should I Write, Orlando, Fla.

Answer: Since you see your grandmother so frequently, which is a blessing, and she always gifts you, you may want to consider your note to her di�erently. Yes, you can say thank you for her gift, but more, share with her a few bits about your life. Tell her in regular notes about experiences you are having. Write in detail knowing that she

will likely use your sto-ries to brag to her friends about your experiences. Choose to relay positive stories that she can em-brace. Older people tend to worry more, and you have no reason to give her something that will upset her.

Whenever you find that you really benefited from something that your grandmother gave you, by all means, write to her and say so.

You can also provide a window into your per-sonal preferences simply by sharing little stories with her about your daily experiences.

Grandma will appreciate detailed thank-you notes

Dear Annie: My 26-year-old son graduated from college three years ago. He worked for his fa-ther for one year, worked on a marijuana farm for one year and has been living o� of his savings for the past eight months. He hasn’t been looking for a job. He says he doesn’t want to work for someone else.

Now he says he wants to move back to our town and live half of the year with me and half with my ex-husband, who lives two hours away. He refuses to pay rent. Annie, I don’t want him living here, freeloading. The problem is, I know he’ll come here anyway and stay several nights without o�cially moving in, because I live near his friends.

How do I handle this without having it get really ugly? He’s not the easiest person to deal with.

— Reluctant Mom

Dear Reluctant: It isn’t going to get better if you do nothing and find your son on your doorstep. You need to talk to him now, as calmly as possible, and let him know you love him, but you aren’t willing to subsidize his current lifestyle. If you choose, you could tell him that he can stay if he gets a job and pays a reasonable rent, or any variation that you prefer if you think he will honor it. O�er to help him look for employment and/or an apartment of his own. Try to get your ex-husband on board so you both are helping your son get on a path toward responsibility. But you have to be willing to risk your son’s anger if you expect this to work.

Dear Annie: Please tell “End of the Line” not to despair. There are free or low-cost computer courses o�ered at places like Goodwill Industries (goodwill.org), which also o�ers help with resume writing, along with free job placement services. In Florida, we have Work-force Plus, which o�ers assistance, and I’m sure other states have similar services. As a former hiring manager, I often hired people in their 70s. Older workers have excel-lent work ethics and less absenteeism than younger workers. Plus, their years of business experience proved invaluable. At the age of 51, I decided to return to college and earn a B.A. in accounting, and I continue to take classes. You are never too old to learn. Please tell her not to give up.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Rose, our club member whose kind-ness toward other players is so admi-rable, has taken on Unlucky Louie as a project.

“He’s a better player than his results show,” Rose insists. “He just plays too fast.”

Louie was declarer at today’s slam. After he took the king of clubs, he cashed the K-A of trumps. When West discarded, Louie led the queen of hearts to finesse — and went down when East won and cashed his high trump. Time elapsed: 20 seconds, and Rose wrung her hands in despair.

“Louie wakes up every morning,” Rose told me, “and says ‘This is going to be one of those lifetimes.’”

How would you play six spades? DIAMOND RUFF Louie should take the ace of diamonds

at Trick Two, lead a trump to the king and ru� a diamond. He ru�s his ace of clubs in dummy and ru�s a diamond.

When East-West follow, Louie takes the ace of trumps and concedes a trump.

He ru�s East’s club return, goes to the ace of hearts and discards his remaining hearts on the K-8 of diamonds.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You could have a heavy underpinning of fatigue as you start your day. Your dream life likely has been quite active, which could leave you feeling somewhat uneasy. Tonight: Say “yes” to an o�er.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You might be more irritable than you realize. Listen carefully to feedback from an associate without passing judgment. To-night: Do not push.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)★★★★ Know that you are not seeing the big picture right now. You often strive to gain a more creative perspective. Tonight: Fun and games.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)★★★ You tend to come from a secure place, even when you’re in an argument. Acknowl-edge what you need to do in order to keep the peace. Tonight: At home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★★ Initiate a conversation, but give your-self an exit strategy if the other party seems to be unduly di�cult. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)★★★★ Your concern might be your budget. Certainly a risk seems tempting. You might not be able to say “no.” If you were to gamble and lose, what would the damage be? To-night: Your treat.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ You could find others to be some-what di�cult. Might you be coming across more provocatively than you had intended? Your fuse has been short lately. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★ You might want to defer any interactions with certain people to others. You often suppress your anger, and it easily could be triggered. Tonight: Not to be found.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)★★★★ You flourish when loved ones and friends come together. Gather your cohorts together for a meeting, as it could trigger a flow of ideas. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★ A take-charge attitude will get you far, and it also will allow you to greet unusual success. Still, someone might be undermin-ing you. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★★★ You might want to step out of your comfort zone in order to find the answers you need. Confusion seems to surround communication. Tonight: Do not second-guess yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)★★★★★ Be direct with a partner. It appears as if you can’t make a change without this person by your side. Tonight: Be nice and naughty.

Horoscope

This year you see many different situations unfold. Your willingness to give 100 percent marks your most successful ventures. If you are single, you will be delighted by your choices; however, you often might experience discomfort when someone pulls the reins too tight. The person you choose will need to have similar freedom and intimacy needs. A good period to meet this person will be anytime after spring. If you are attached, you will defer more often to your sweetie this year. Your closeness will grow. LIBRA has the same core issues, but he or she manifests them in different ways.

Horoscopes


By Judith Martin and Nicholas Ivor MartinUniversal Uclick

Dear Miss Manners: Is there a courteous way to impose a limit on, well, courtesy? I was disem-barking from the rear door of a bus when an elderly gentleman immediately in front of me had trouble pushing the door open. I reached over and assisted him, and then I exited.

I held the door for the person behind me, so as not to let it slam in his face, assuming that he would take the door from me. He didn’t. Neither did the four people behind him.

Was there a point at which I could have relin-quished my job as door person pro tem without being discourteous.

Gentle Reader: Your services were offered graciously, if unintention-ally, and Miss Manners is pleased to return the

courtesy by solving your problem.

Wait for a person who can be expected to hold a door, and take a half step in front of him before he comes through. The move-ment will bring him up short, at which point you can catch his eye and then slowly release the door, eventually letting go.

Dear Miss Manners: Am I lacking in the manners de-partment if I do not always buy birthday gifts for my friends?

I had a friend who was very ofended when I did not get her a gift for her birthday, and who made sure to remind me about the gifts she had given me on my “special day.” We are in our mid-20s.

While I think it is a very nice gesture to give gifts to people close to you, and I make sure to show ap-preciation if I am given a gift, I did not think it was

a required activity. I have given her gifts in the past, but never made it a regular tradition. Perhaps I should have, since she gave me a birthday gift.

Gentle Reader: With some exceptions, present-giving should be a roughly even exchange.

By roughly equivalent, Miss Manners is not re-ferring to immediate re-ciprocation, nor to the monetary value. It merely means giving something of equal thoughtfulness.

If you are not prepared to do this — and indeed, it can easily become burden-some — you owe it to your friend to tell her that much as you have appreciated her presents, you cannot keep accepting them and would prefer an agreement to acknowledge each oth-er’s birthdays with good wishes.

MISS MANNERS

Holding the door is tough to relinquish By Jacqueline BigarKing Features Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You can’t seem to change a partner’s mind. If you were not aware of this person’s determination, you will be. You could feel uncomfortable when trying to present him or her with a diferent perspective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might have no option but to defer to someone else. You value this bond, there-fore you might want to indulge this person. At a later point, you might be able to initiate a dis-cussion. Stay on upbeat topics.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Dive into work early, so that you can have some free time later. You might be so in-tent on completing a task that you won’t even realize what time it is. A meeting that will break your concentration is likely to irritate you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your imagination might interfere with your efec-tiveness. You could be a bit of-kilter, so or so it might seem to a boss or higher-up. Tap into your self-discipline, and try to stay

focused. Don’t be surprised if you have to work late as a result.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Resist grumbling or making a big deal out of nothing. You have a way of drawing in positive experi-ences. A loved one could lighten your tone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could feel ill at ease about someone else’s activism. A new beginning will become possible after a heavy conversation. You might prefer to let a situation smolder, burn and evolve. Try a diferent ap-proach to an ongoing problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You’ll want to achieve stronger results than what you originally thought possible. Someone is putting a lot of re-strictions on a project. You could choose to not be involved. A boss or higher-up likely will be supportive of your decision.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your imagination will take you down an interest-ing path. Others might wish that you would share more of your ideas. You know what to do with a challenge, as you have

gone down the potential paths. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHHH You could be out of sorts in the morning. You have a tendency to think nega-tively, no matter what you are dealing with. You might feel of-kilter until later in the after-noon. A loved one will know how to help you change your mood.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Move quickly, as you’ll want to make a decision on an ofer that requires a lot of responsibility and endurance. Listen to news that is forth-coming. Take your time making a decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Listen to an older friend. This person’s news could be much diferent from your irst impression. You could have your hands full. Consider taking to-morrow of, if it’s feasible. Use caution with a tendency to spend when needing an escape.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have the unique ability to see beyond the obvious. While others seem to be uptight about changes, you know there is more to the story. Your creativity points to a path that would ease up the pressure.
