When you’re coming of a three-win season, there’s no such thing as a meaningless game.

And that’s why Bartlett was probably the happiest team at last Friday’s munici-palities jamboree.

Johnnie Shepherd’s long fumble return for a touch-down gave the Panthers a 7-6 victory over Germantown at Arlington. And even though the jamboree format — fea-turing 25-minute games and a running clock — didn’t to-tally lend itself to what the teams will face this week, it was good for Bartlett to be smiling at the end of the con-test.

“It feels good,” said Shep-herd, a 205-pound senior who doubles at linebacker and fullback. “We’ve worked hard in the weight room and in the ofseason. Now we’re hoping to get better each and every week.”

In the most competitive matchup of the evening, Ger-mantown took a 6-0 lead on a short keeper by quarterback Jacob Ivy. And the Red Devils were driving for another po-tential score when Shepherd scooped up a fumble around the 20-yard line and took it back the other way.

Manny Barrientos, the goalkeeper on the Panthers soccer team who only re-cently joined the football team, put the extra point right down the middle to provide the winning margin.

“That was great defense,” said Panthers coach Jef Mc-

Among chants of, “We’re No. 1. We’re No. 1,” about 250 Collierville residents and town oicials celebrated the news Monday of being named America’s Best Main Street in 2014 in a contest by Parade Magazine.

Collierville, which was featured on last Sunday’s mag-azine cover, beat the wine-country town of McMinnville, Oregon for the top honors among 16 contenders. Readers selected their favorite cities in an NCAA tournament-style bracket, voting daily over a four-day period.

“The eforts by Collierville’s citizens to have their Main Street voted the best downtown in America were nothing short of inspirational,” said Maggie Murphy,

He has come to know Belize and some of its peo-ple have come to know and admire him. After leading a ive day dental mission trip to the area once a year for the last 13 years, Memphis dentist Dr. Jef Frizzell is pretty familiar with the Central American country.

“Although there are many places in Belize that are extremely poor, I have never felt the desperation that seems to drive people to leave other (Central American) countries,” said Frizzell.

Frizzell began minis-tering after his daughter

returned from a vacation Bible school mission trip with the teens from High-land Church of Christ in 2000.

“She suggested I go to Belize to help the people. There were maybe 10 den-tists in the whole country of Belize at that time,” said Frizzell. “But like now, there were no dentists practicing in the central part.”

The first year Friz-zell checked out the area where he wanted to prac-tice. He took one friend and borrowed equipment from another dental min-istry. Each year since that irst visit, Frizzell has tak-en various dentist friends from his church. They

have set up most years in Independence in a school building where they can minister to multiple villag-es and towns in the central part of the country. They go the same time that Highland Church’s teens go to hold a week of VBS.

Each year Frizzell has added a few more pieces of dental equipment. Now

13 years later, the dentists who make the trip from a large church in Cordova to the small town of Indepen-dence in Central America’s Belize, have three dental chairs, an autoclave and other equipment needed to set up a dental ministry for one week out of the year.

Houston suspends student over knives

A Houston High School student got a 180-day suspension and a juve-nile summons Aug. 12 for bringing two knives to school in her purse.

According to German-town police, the school’s resource oicer received an anonymous tip that the girl had taken a picture of the knives in her purse and posted them online, saying she had forgotten to take them out of her purse and that she hoped she wouldn’t be searched.

The assistant principal pulled the girl out of class and conducted a search with the resource oicer present.

The knives were 3-inch and 3.5-inch stainless steel switchblades, according to the report.

Pedestrian hit by train remains critical

A Germantown man remained in critical con-dition Sunday after he was struck by a train near Pop-lar Pike and Southern.

Germantown Police Lt. Mike Grifus said Keoni Harris, 20, was one of two men walking or running near the tracks around 1 a.m. last Saturday when he apparently jumped in front of an eastbound train.

Germantown couple robbed in driveway

A Germantown couple reported two men robbed them last Thursday night in the driveway of their home in the 2200 block of Deodara Cove.

According to police, the man and woman, ages 69 and 66, arrived at their home around 9:15 p.m. and the husband went to check the mailbox. When he re-turned to the garage, two men wearing jeans, long sleeve shirts and home-made masks forced him and his wife to lay on the ground.

According to reports, the suspects stole several cred-it cards, gift certiicates, a purse, glasses, watches, rings, cellphones, keys, checkbooks and cash.

Jef Beaman with Germantown Fire Department shows of a mini-ambulance to Dave Goudge, as he rides past on the Green-way. Germantown received grant money to purchase the ambulance, to help them reach areas such as the Greenway.

Germantown

Germantown’s new mini-am-bulance turns quite a few heads, whether it’s cruising down Ger-mantown Road at 45 mph with a police escort or navigating the Greenway trail.

Part rescue truck, part all-terrain vehicle, the ambulance is fully equipped to handle any medical emergency and can squeeze into small spaces the big rigs can’t reach.

Germantown Assistant Fire Chief Jef Beaman said the vehi-cle is particularly useful along the city’s biking and walking trails.

“It’s always been our luck that when someone has a medical emergency, it’s usually not near one of the access points,” Beaman said.

The funds for the new ambu-lance came through a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, allocated by the Memphis Fire Department.

It may be the last emergency-management tool the German-town department, or any others in Shelby County or even the nation, sees from Homeland Security in the near future.

The funds came through a

Metropolitan Medical Response System grant, a project started in 2003 in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 served as another driving force for the project.

Memphis Fire Lt. Jim Logan said Congress allocated the funds to 124 cities around the country every year to purchase new equipment and hold mass-casualty training sessions. Shelby County was awarded between $200,000 to $300,000 annually to be distributed to local depart-ments.

Logan, who serves as acting manager of the oice of emer-gency management for the city of Memphis, said Homeland Securi-ty informed him the grant would end after this year’s allocations.

“It’s so unfortunate, but we tend in America to be reactionary to things,” Logan said. “And that’s how things get funded.”

Logan said he was not informed why the grant was ending. Home-land Security public information officials in Washington, D.C., were unable to provide informa-tion about the grant last week.

Representatives from hospital systems and emergency response departments formed a coalition to plan for use of the funds. Lo-gan said the committee will re-main intact and will search for alternate funding. While the lo-cal emergency response systems have improved greatly with the

funding, Logan said this can’t be the end of the road.

“This is an efort that needs sustainability,” Logan said. “There’s new equipment, new training coming out daily. You can’t go buy it and sit it on the shelf. You have to grow it.”

The funds also paid for the county to purchase equipment to set up a temporary hospital dur-ing a disaster.

Collierville, Bartlett and Mem-phis also got mini-ambulances, which cost $73,975, thanks to pre-vious Homeland Security fund-ing. Beaman said they are good for special events like marathons as well as disasters that make roads impassable.

But the vehicle’s most frequent response destination in German-town likely will be the Greenway. Beaman said the vehicle can get from the ire station on Farming-ton Boulevard north to the Green-way along Wolf River Boulevard in six minutes.

On a trek down the trails this week, Germantown resident Dave Goudge stopped on his bike ride to admire the new ambulance.

Goudge, who is 66, said it made him feel better about his wife riding the trails on her own, and added it might encourage older people to come out to the trails, knowing they can be easily reached in case of an emergency.

“I bet you that will save a life or two,” he said.

Germantown Police reports

Frizzell recalls those irst few years when work-ing on teeth without the needed equipment was very diicult. He has a pic-ture of himself extracting a child’s tooth while she leaned back against his thigh.

During the irst week in July, the Highland Church members made their an-nual mission trip to Belize. Sixteen teens and seven adults, including youth minister Buster Clemens, visited the small Central American country. They shared VBS and youth nights with children and teens from Independence and surrounding areas.

Along with the VBS team, dentists from High-land Church who made the trek this year included Frizzell, Dr. Sean Prine of Collierville, Dr. Mike Sav-age, dentist with the VA hospital and an instructor at UT, Dr. Ben McDonald, a recent graduate from UT now practicing in Ohio, and Morgan Gonder a third-year dental student.

During the last three trips Frizzell has mentored a Belizean youth, now 17. Partly due to his experi-ences assisting Frizzell, C.J. Foreman will attend Belize’s University in the fall with plans to become a dentist.

“I guess my favorite part of each year’s trip is seeing kids whose teeth I worked on 13 or so years ago. Now they are bringing their chil-dren to me so I can work on their teeth,” said Frizzell.

DENTIST from 1

Parade’s editor-in-chief. “As our cover shows, the town is a wonderful place to browse, shop, eat and enjoy a weekend stroll. We hope our story inspires other cities to take back their Main Streets.”

Monday morning’s “Pa-rade Magazine Mania” celebration at the Morton Museum of Collierville History is far cry from where Town Square stood in the late 1980s.

The Square faltered as businesses shut down or moved. Residents shunned the shuttered Square and drove to the newest shop-ping centers, big-box stores and indoor malls. The same was true for Mc-Minnville and other cities.

The very things that now make Collierville’s downtown area a jewel — the quaint gazebo, the antique-style clock, the brick-lined sidewalks and other amenities — drew

controversy when the town’s mayor and alder-men pushed to spend $1.2 million in revitalizing Town Square in 1994.

The revitalization “was 20 years in the making. It took 20 years of nurturing and vision to get it to this point,” said Town Planner Jaime Groce.

Many credit former Mayor Herman Wright Cox with revitalizing Town Square in the early 1990s.

In 1992, Alderman Jimmy Lott said he, Cox and the other aldermen took heat among some businessmen angry over a 25-cent-per-square-foot assessment on new com-mercial development.

Lott said the mayor’s vision “was to keep the town viable. As long as the Square remained active and viable, then we would keep that small-town at-mosphere.”

Patrice Frey, president of the National Main Street Center, called it gratifying to see not only

the two inalists, but also half of the contestants fol-lowing the center’s meth-odology for downtown revitalization.

“It is no surprise that this strategy, plus the hard work and passion main street leaders are known for, would result in places that resonate with Americans,” Frey said. Her group, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has worked to spur downtown and neighborhood revitaliza-tion for the past 30 years.

Frey added, “Stories like these are an important testament to the endur-ing power of Main Street to entertain, inspire and compete with online re-tailers and big box stores, even in tough economic times. There’s just some-thing magical about Main Street.”

It may be magical, but it also takes money.

McMinnvile Down-town Association manag-er Cassie Sollars said the McMinnville City Council

passed a $30 million urban renewal bond last year, of which $12 million is ear-marked for its downtown and the rest for a neighbor-hood next to downtown.

Sollars said they are sending Collierville a congratulations basket of homegrown goodies — in-cluding a local pinot noir and pinot gris.

“Is Collierville in a dry county?” she asked.

Town Administrator James Lewellen joked that he would intercept the wine before it reached Town Square, which is dry.

“The square is a great place to unwind, to read, or do nothing. We all need that,” he said.

“It is hard to put a price on the value of the square as a great public space, as an economic engine, or as a relection of our heritage and our values, but it is safe to say that the return on that $1.2 million dollar investment has been one of the great inancial in-vestment decisions in our history.”

Investigators have cleared three Germantown police oi-cers of any wrongdoing in the shooting death of military veter-an Justin Neal Davis last month.

Deputy Chief Rodney Bright said all three oicers were tak-

en of administrative leave and returned to work at the end of last week. The department also identiied the oicers involved as Sean Carlson, 35; Robert Cook, 32; and Gene Herndon, 33. The oicers respectively have nine, four and seven years of service with the Germantown Police Department.

Davis, 24, was reported to have been suicidal and armed with a weapon when German-town police found him in his vehicle in Cameron Brown Park

on July 15.According to a police report,

oicers trained in crisis inter-vention tried to talk Davis out of his car, but Davis pointed a rile at the oicers and they opened ire, killing him.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation took the lead and compiled a report that was sent to the Shelby County District At-torney’s Oice.

A spokesman from TBI said the report was not a public re-cord, despite the completion of

the investigation.District attorney spokesman

Lawrence Buser said a records request for the report is under review, but also issued a state-ment on the case.

“We have received and re-viewed the entire TBI inves-tigative ile on this death,” the e-mailed statement says. “This case will not be presented to the grand jury of Shelby County, Tennessee. There is insuicient evidence of a criminal ofense by the oicers and insuicient

evidence to rebut that the shoot-ing was in self-defense or in the defense of others.”

Davis was a former Houston High School student who was living in Fayette County. Friends said Davis, who had 2-year-old daughter, was a military vet-eran who sufered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and that he had visited the Memphis Veterans Medical Center hours before his death.

Davis served two tours in Iraq, the most recent ending in 2012.

Collierville beauty spa owner Karima Suleman was just 15 when she irst decorated her own right hand with a henna de-sign. She and other female relatives and friends were celebrating the upcoming wedding of her cousin in Karachi, Pakistan.

Last Saturday, Suleman, now 36, spread her Middle Eastern tradition and the fun of having a tempo-rary henna tattoo to the general public at the Col-lierville Burch Library, 501 Poplar View Pkwy.

For 10 minutes and $10 cash, Suleman squeezed out the henna gel on a hand, arm or foot and inked a freestyle design or copied one that someone brought in.

Henna dye generally lasts from two to four weeks.

Suleman would not have ofered the program if the library staf hadn’t inadvertently found out she owned Angel’s Beauty Spa at 4205 Hacks Cross in Memphis.

Suleman called the li-brary in a panic thinking she may have placed her daughter’s personal book with a stack of borrowed books in the library drop-of box. During the con-versation with a librarian, Suleman mentioned that she operated her own spa and that she ofered henna tattoos.

“Henna tattooing was a

program we had all tossed around,” said library ref-erence associate Lauren Meier who arranged Sat-urday’s event. “At ‘Fair on the Square’ it was hugely popular.”

“All because of a lost book,” Suleman said. “God made the way.” Henna, made from a plant of the same name, has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern countries. People living in the desert made henna paste and rubbed it on their bodies because of the plant’s natural cooling

and sunblock properties.While henna tattoos are

still used traditionally by Middle Eastern women to celebrate holidays, birth-days or weddings, Sule-man is seeing women and young men of all nation-alities who want a tempo-rary tattoo.

She and her co-worker, Saima Erum of German-town, are slowing build-ing their spa client base. “I need to introduce this thing (henna tattooing) to everywhere,” Suleman said. “That’s my passion.”

The classic children’s book that everyone knows and loves now comes to life at Collierville High School on Sept. 4.

“Charlotte’s Web: The Musical” is hitting the stage at CHS’s Draco Playhouse. Charlotte’s Web follows the story of a young pig named Wilbur, played by Jake McCutch-eon, as he is adopted by Fern Arable, played by Hannah Peeples, and is raised at the Zuckerman Barn, where he meets the goose and gander, Madi-son Pruitt and Luke How-ard, the sheep and lamb, Kristen Aune and Bekah

McFall, the cunning rat, Templeton, played by Mark Elich, and of course the elegant spider, Char-lotte, played by Charlotte Piper.

Not only is this the irst show of the Draco Play-house season, but it is also the big debut of many ac-tors and actresses. One of the new stars is Piper who will be playing Charlotte. Piper has been in many shows at CHS, but this will be her irst lead role on the stage. When asked how she feels about her irst leading role, Piper replied “I’m so excited! I remember seeing all of CHS’s productions my sophomore year and wish-ing how that could be me.

I just hope I can give some of that same inspiration back to the audience.”

The same is true for McCutcheon and Peeples. This is a student produc-tion, meaning the direc-tion, costumes, lighting, and set are all done by students. The musical is directed by Joseph Pierc-ey who is assisted by Anne Saunders. The show is a fun, family-friendly mu-sical with lovable char-acters, a heartwarming story, and many toe-tap-ping tunes. “Charlotte’s Web: The Musical” runs through Sept. 6. The show starts at 7 p.m.

Pregnancy can afect many neurological disorders. Some may improve, others may wors-en and sometimes, a neurologi-cal disorder will make its irst appearance during pregnancy.

I advise my patients to use folic acid, prenatal vitamins and have adequate iron intake during pregnancy. Education regarding interactions between oral contraceptives and medi-cations is also important prior to pregnancy, as the mutual efectiveness of these drugs may change when combined. Some med icat ion s , including an-tiepileptic and migraine pre-ventive medica-tions, are associ-ated with fetal abnormalities. Therefore, alternative medi-cations are needed in women choosing to become pregnant or deciding to breast-feed.

One of the disorders that might appear in pregnancy is restless legs syndrome. Rest-less legs syndrome is charac-terized by an uneasy, creepy and crawling sensation in the legs, typically appearing to-ward the evening and accom-panied by an urge to move legs. Often, patients walk around to relieve the uncomfortable feeling. There is an associa-tion between pregnancy, iron deiciency anemia and restless legs syndrome.

Another condition that may surface in pregnancy is carpal tunnel syndrome, present-ing numbness and tingling in the hands and particularly worsening when the hands are in a prolonged dependent position such as during sleep. This is due to compression of the median nerve at the wrist, which supplies sensation and movement to the small hand muscles. The general luid re-tention during pregnancy may precipitate this condition.

Migraines and epilepsy can improve or worsen during preg-nancy. It is important to be com-pliant with medications and have as good as possible control of seizures. A prolonged seizure can result in low oxygen to the baby and be very detrimental to the health of both mother and child. Typical medications used for acute control of migraine may need to be substituted by other compounds. Some neu-rological illnesses like multiple sclerosis can actually improve during pregnancy. However, there is an increased chance of relapse after childbirth. It is possible for women sufering from multiple sclerosis to have a full term pregnancy and nor-mal delivery.

With proper medical sup-port and counseling, preg-nancy in women with chronic neurological illnesses can be healthy with a good outcome.

When Courtney Moser was pregnant with her irst child, she knew she wanted to put him in cloth diapers. When she found there wasn’t a brick and mortar store in Memphis that sold them, she decided to open one herself — in her liv-ing room.

“Sometimes people are ner-vous when they plug the ad-dress into their GPS,” laughed Moser, a thirty-something mother of two. “They call be-cause they think they’re lost. They wonder, ‘Is she going to pull a box of diapers out from behind her couch?’”

Moser is among a growing number of parents who are choosing to swap disposable diapers for cloth. While some are motivated by the relatively greater environmental impact of disposables, Moser said, “most moms are like me — they want to save money.”

Additionally, said Moser, some parents choose cloth be-cause their babies have sensi-tive skin.

“They are literally in tears because their babies have such horrible rashes and their doc-tors have said they can’t use disposables anymore,” Moser said. “For whatever reason they’re doing it, I get to help them, and that feels good.”

Before opening Over the Moon Diapers in her Ger-mantown home, Moser was a corporate accountant, travel-ing frequently and working long hours. She always knew she wanted to cloth diaper her

children like her mother, Jan-ice Bogott, had done with her and her two siblings, but she quickly learned that reusable diapers had come a long way since the prefold and safety pin days. She spent hours re-searching the various styles and brands online but was frustrated because you “can’t see them, can’t touch them,” she said.

She said she ended up hat-ing the ones she had selected once she actually started us-ing them on Matthew, born January 2012. When she be-moaned the lack of in-person shopping opportunities to her mother, Bogott suggested the new mom open such a store herself. While she was ini-tially dismissive of the idea, it wasn’t long before Moser was back online researching cloth diaper retail sites in cit-ies comparable in size to Mem-phis. She found that many of them, such as Oklahoma City, had home-based diaper stores. Partnering with Bogott, also of Germantown, Moser had a business license by spring 2012 and by July 2012 Over the Moon Diapers was open to the public three days a week.

For Memphis-area families interested in cloth diaper-ing, Over the Moon is a game changer. Rachel Carder, a Memphis mom who cloth dia-pered her son, now 2 ½, had to spend hours researching

diapers online as Moser had done. Though she was happy with her choice, she said, “I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was wasting hours of time that could have been saved if I had only been able to see all of the options laid out in front of me.”

Not only is it suddenly pos-sible to browse the nearly over-whelming number of diferent types and styles of diapers in person, but Moser and Bogott themselves are invaluable re-sources.

Bogott, or “Crunchy Nana” as she is known at Over the Moon, teaches Cloth Diaper University on the irst Monday evening of every month.

“She really goes through ev-erything from A to Z,” Moser said. “She answers questions and breaks it down so people feel like it’s manageable.”

Over the Moon’s website — maintained by Moser, who taught herself web design — is also chock-full of information new cloth diapering parents will ind useful, such as a run-

down of laundering techniques and advice on building a func-tional stash of varieties and brands.

Perhaps the unique ofering is Over the Moon’s two-week diaper trial program. For a small fee, parents can sample select brands and styles of cloth diapers and return the styles they don’t want for a full refund if returned in the speciied condition. They also ofer a newborn diaper rental service.

While Moser hopes one day to move Over the Moon out of her living room and into its own space, she said she is wait-ing until the time is right.

“I’m not rolling in money, but hey, that’s ok,” Moser said. “I feel like we started our busi-ness on a laughable budget — we spent the most amount of money on our logo.”

Sure, the accounting gig paid better, but, as Moser points out, “You just realize — what is more money going to buy you? More toys to clutter up your house?”

Business

By Jeremy C. ParkSpecial to The Weekly

Everyday heroes rarely receive media attention; nor do they expect credit or seek limelight. Activi-ties like tutoring, mentor-ing, picking up trash, or taking care of the sick and hungry, tend to be indi-vidual eforts that garner impressive results over time, compared to larger events with more of an immediate impact. Last year we teamed with other stakeholders to launch the WKNO monthly television series, The SPARK.

I am excited to an-nounce that we are ex-panding The SPARK, and the Mid-South now will have a televised award show, The SPARK Awards which will celebrate indi-viduals, including youth, college students, adults, and teachers, as well as nonproits, corporations, and schools, in 13 difer-

ent catego-ries, who are making a diference in our com-munity.

A nyone may sub-mit nomi-n a t i o n s and it is all totally free.

This is your chance to say “Thank You” to our everyday heroes. Three inalists in each category will be chosen by a selec-tion committee from The Rotary Club of Memphis. Finalists will be invited to a free award luncheon where SPARK Award win-ners will be announced. The SPARK Awards will be taped for a special televised broadcast to air on WKNO the week of Thanksgiving.

Visit theSPARKtv.org to learn more and submit your nominations before 5 p.m. on Sept. 15.

Civic involvement: I participate in providing skin cancer screenings for

the public so that more people may have an opportunity to efectively treat issues via early detection.

First job: Faculty at University of Michigan in the pediatrics depart-ment teaching pediatric residents and serving as a pediatrician.

Most satisfying career moment: The irst melanoma that I ever diag-nosed was on a middle-aged women under her arm that she did not even realize there was anything there to be worried about. For years, she al-ways introduced me when I saw her as “the doc that saved my life.”

Career advice: Make sure you love what you do. It was stressful to go

back to the rigorous hours of medi-cal training to pursue dermatology while raising two small children, but it was worth it because I am able to shape my career around something about which I am passionate every day.

Person I most admire: Mother Te-resa. Her sellessness in helping the most destitute people in a country that she was not even born in is in-spirational, and her legacy lives on despite her passing.

After a big storm blew through Collierville in mid-July, Christopher Da-vid and Jonah Cross and their dog, Bane, found a bird that was blown out of his nest.

He was scared sitting on their back porch. Not sure what to do with him, the boys’ mother, Robin Cross, spoke with her brother, Bart Howell, who found a number to the “bird-man.”

He told Robin Cross to try to get him back in a tree and see if the mother bird would come take care of him.

The Cross family placed the hawk on their fence post and that is where he stayed for two weeks. He called out to his mama, and she started to feed him several times a day. The family named him Hawkeye.

Several people would stop and look at him.

The family then posted pictures and updates of Hawkeye on Facebook and he had many followers. After two weeks, Robin Cross woke up to check on him and he was gone. They were sad to see him leave but then heard his call and found him in a tree in their backyard.

When the Cross family is in the yard, they hear him call out like he is say-ing “hello.” They are hop-ing that he will make their

backyard his home. This has been a great experi-ence for the boys.

By Sarah AcufSpecial to The Weekly

The volleyball team at St. George’s Independent School recently welcomed some familiar faces on the court. A group of SGIS alumnae volleyball play-ers came back to help the current team prepare for the upcoming season.

With a promising sea-son ahead, SGIS graduates felt compelled to help out before heading back to college. “The SG volley-ball team was my fam-ily in high school. I love coming back to support the talented girls on the team and to continue the St. George’s volleyball leg-acy,” said Taylor See. “It’s also fun to get back on the court with my old team-mates and to see Coach Emmy again.”

“It puts a smile on my face every time our alum-nae walk in the gym be-cause it makes me feel like I was a part of something special in the lives of these young women,” said varsi-ty volleyball coach Emmy McClain. “They obviously valued their time as a St. George’s volleyball player enough to do what they can to make sure those be-hind them have a similar experience.”

The alumnae were just as excited to be back. “I came back to help our team because I love seeing St. George’s volleyball suc-ceed. St. George’s is a very welcoming place and it’s always good to be back,” said Hannah Everett, who is a volleyball player at Emory University.

“I want these girls to know how great it feels to win a state championship. I can’t wait to see how well they do this season,” said

Katie McCormack, who currently plays volleyball at Birmingham Southern. “So far they look awe-some!”

Collierville High School’s Alex Stanield tries to keep a handle on the ball as the Dragons faced of with Millington Central during jamboree action at Arlington High School last Friday night.

Ferran, who was coaching against his alma mater.

“We inally popped a turnover and we had a chance at a couple of other balls that were in the air. Even though it’s (diferent) with the 25-minute run-ning clock ... we’re trying to change the culture and get back to being success-ful.”

Collierville’s running game was successful as well; the Dragons got a 10-yarder from Ryan Dougherty and then forced a turnover, leading to a 16-yard run by Tyler Garvey to complete a 14-0 victory over Millington.

“We’ve still got a long way to go,” said Dragons coach Mike O’Neill, whose team is coming of a 7-4 re-cord.

“When you compete, you compete. I thought our efort was good. We played hard. We’ve got a solid running back corps.”

Even though his team lost, Millington coach Chris Michael also accom-plished his goal: to get out of the jamboree unscathed.

“We’re so thin I just

didn’t want anybody to get hurt,” he said. “We only played our irst-string of-fense and defense for one

series. It’s exciting for the kids and the fans ... but I would have rather had a practice day.”

Joseph Stephenson had a scoring run to highlight Arlington’s 10-3 victory over Houston in the inale.

Freshman quarterback Tate Kolwyck moved the Tigers smartly down the ield to set up Stephenson’s score. And even though it won’t count in the statis-tics, it was awfully good to have football back.

Dear Annie: My hus-band and I recently purchased a new home. It took us a while to reach this point. In the course of trying to purchase, we were o�ered help by a good friend, “Mary,” who lives 1,500 miles away. Mary referred us to her mortgage lender, also 1,500 miles away. We engaged the lender, who worked hard, but things didn’t move as quickly as we needed, and we lost a large deposit on the house, along with the costs of an appraisal and inspection. This was money we could ill-a�ord.

We recently found another house and used a local mortgage lender. Ev-erything went smoothly, and we’ll be moving soon. Here’s the problem: Last month, Mary called to chew me out because we didn’t use her mortgage person. I told Mary that we lost a lot of money, and we’ve moved on. Mary was mean and hung up on me. I haven’t heard from her since.

Mary and I have known each other for 30 years, and we’ve been through a great many of life’s ups and downs. She’s like a sister to me, and our hus-bands get along well, too. I was astonished that she would be so obtuse about what we’d been through. Mary often reacts like this when she’s angry, but I wonder why it’s up to me to make the e�ort to fix things. Should I reach out to her? It saddens me that such a longtime friend-ship would end this way, but I’m ready to let it go.

— Arizona

Dear Arizona: Mary is what we call high mainte-nance. She is emotionally demanding, cuts you o� when you don’t put her first and then forces you to do the hard work of repairing the friendship. Over time, this behavior becomes tiresome, and we don’t blame you for having had enough. Con-sider distancing yourself from the friendship, bit by bit. Let Mary make the next move, whenever that is, and you can maintain the level of friendship that best suits you.

Dear Annie: I found the letter from “A.” so refresh-ing. The mother told her son that certain events require a personal phone call instead of a text mes-sage, and then he did it. What magic did she use? Communication.

People can’t read your mind. Stop stewing in your own replay of past events, and communicate calmly.

Cy the Cynic says that some ques-tions are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent just to be undecided.

Cy was dummy in today’s deal, watch-ing South cope with a contract of four spades. South ru�ed the third heart, pondered the situation and led a club to dummy’s queen. When the finesse won, South took the ace of trumps. The king fell from West, so South lost a trump and two hearts.

South made his game, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy Cy.

NOT BEST “Your play worked but wasn’t best,”

the Cynic asserted. “After you ru� the third heart, go to dummy and finesse in trumps. If East has, say, K-9-2, you cash your diamonds and end-play him with his trump trick to lead from the king of clubs.”

“My play was fine,” South insisted. “If the club finesse lost, I would hope East had K-x in trumps. When West had the king of clubs, I could a�ord a safety play in trumps.”

I think Cy’s play was better. I’ll let the mathematicians figure out the exact percentages.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ You absolutely know what you want. Someone else might not be as predictable as you would like. Look past the obvious, and you will understand what needs to happen. Tonight: Opt for a di�erent experience.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★ You might find yourself in a com-petition to seize the limelight. Before you act, consider the ramifications; they could be more costly than what you are willing to deal with. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Horoscope

This year you express your feelings more openly, and your increased vulnerability draws many people to-ward you. In a sense, your openness makes it more difficult for people not to be authentic with you. If you are single, you will be surrounded by quite a few potential admirers. You will meet someone who will knock your socks off. If you are attached, the two of you become even better friends, and you will experience a great deal of closeness. Use care with financial matters, as there could be some confusion between the two of you. GEMINI can be very chatty.

In the club lounge, Cy the Cynic, a shameless chauvin-ist, and Wendy, our feminist, were arguing again — about whether men or women are better at math.

“Women are better,” the Cynic sni�ed. “They’re al-ways subtracting from their age and weight and adding to the price of what they paid for a dress or a purse.”

“Is it true that you’re the first member of your family born without a tail?” Wendy asked.

“How do you play the trump suit at this slam?” Cy challenged her, showing today’s deal. (North’s bid of three spades conventionally promised spade shortness and a heart fit.) “What are the mathematical odds?”

“The odds favor playing to drop the king,” Wendy replied promptly (and correctly). “A 1-1 break is a 52 percent chance, a 2-0 break is 48 percent.”

Before you read on, decide how you would play six hearts after West leads the jack of spades.

South can get two chances with a simple line of play: He can lead the queen of trumps to dummy’s ace. If the king doesn’t appear, he can try the club finesse.

South’s best chance — re-gardless of percentages — is to try for an end play. He takes the A-Q of spades to pitch a club from dummy, cashes the A-K of diamonds, ru�s his low spade in dummy and ru�s dummy’s queen of diamonds. South then leads the queen of trumps and lets it ride if West follows low.

South succeeds whether the finesse wins or loses. If East wins, he must lead a spade or a diamond, conced-ing a ru�-slu�, or lead a club from his king.

Dear Harriette: My ex-wife and I have been divorced for five years, and she has since remar-ried. We have a 13-year-old son from our former union. My son wants me to help purchase gifts for his mother for her birth-day, Mother’s Day and Christmas. I have asked my son if he talks to his stepfather about this, and he says no. I feel it is not my duty to do this, and I believe her current hus-band should be responsi-ble for this task. I am not comfortable with giving my ex-wife any “special” gifts. What should I tell my son when he sees no gifts from his dad?

— Under New Management, Salt Lake City

Dear New: It does not sound like your son is asking you to help him purchase a gift that would be from him and either his stepfather or from you. If he is asking for your input to help learn how to buy gifts for his mother from him, that is a completely di�erent

story. Sure, it would be great if he could cultivate that type of relationship with his stepfather, and that may happen over time. If the stepfather does not agree or your son is not ready to make such a request, I think it is fine for you to teach your child how to be a thoughtful gift giver.

Help him select gifts that would be appropri-ate for him to give his mother. The gifts should not reflect memories from your past. Instead, make the experience of helping your son a way for you to guide him in the art of thoughtfulness.

Father is not comfortable choosing gifts for ex-wife

Horoscopes


ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might feel caught between doing what you would like to do and doing what needs to be done. Recognize manipu-lation for what it is. You might not want to play with those who are deeply embedded in this type of behavior.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your ingenuity will come forward and eliminate a diicult situation. You could be too tired to keep dealing with others who complicate your life. Give some thought to establish-ing stronger boundaries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Stay anchored when dealing with a domestic matter. Your ability to convert a diicult situation into one that is easier could be challenged. Be patient when dealing with others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You inally will feel more up to snuf, only to have a loved one become touchy and withdrawn. Let this situation work itself out. Try not to be so uptight

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

HHH So much is going on be-hind the scenes that you could be overwhelmed. You know what you want, and you know where you are heading. It won’t be long before you feel more in control.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A discussion can be put of only for so long. Your creativity will feed naturally into your day. What you see happen could please you. What you were concerned about won’t be an is-sue now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH A loved one could become very demanding regarding a i-nancial concern. The two of you clearly do not share the same values, and it will become very evident when money is involved. Tonight: Be willing to clear out extra work, even if it takes you all night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might feel as if you are caught between a rock and a hard place. You need to rethink a problem and come to a decision. Your ability to ne-gotiate a diferent solution will emerge once you detach. Take a walk to clear your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by all the choices an associate presents. Some-how you’ll need to igure out how to make a decision. Under-stand that money doesn’t have to be the driving force. Take your time, and look at the big picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will be in the mood to do less and let others carry more of their weight with a project. Fortunately, they will be up for taking on more responsi-bility. It is important to prove to yourself that you can relax and assume a diferent role.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You’ll see a per-sonal matter diferently from how an associate sees it. Some-times discussing one’s personal problems with others does pro-vide a fresh perspective, but this might not be the case for you. Only you can decide that.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You’ll become more resourceful in spite of someone who keeps saying “no.” Don’t waste time feeling disappoint-ed. There is an easier solution; you simply haven’t found it yet. Keep discussions open until you can bypass this obstacle.

Dear Miss Manners: My mother was from the South, and accordingly she impressed upon me the ine art of entertain-ing guests in one’s home. I love to cook, and I truly prefer to cook dinner for friends over meeting at a restaurant.

My problem is that, in-variably, every guest feels that an invitation for 6:30 can mean 6:45 or 7 p.m.

Right now I am sitting at my computer at 6:47 waiting for a guest who was supposed to be here at 6:30; she texted me at 6:25 saying she was just leaving her home, and from her lat-est message, she is still an-other 12 to 15 minutes away. Needless to say, the dinner is completely overcooked.

What should I say when inviting guests to dinner? Should I only cook food that can sit in the oven for

an additional hour without being ruined? Give up in-viting people to our home?

I would think it was a not-so-subtle commentary on the quality of my cook-ing if I didn’t get besieged with requests for my reci-pes.

Gentle Reader: Miss Manners is loath to ques-tion the hopes of Southern mothers, good cooks and hospitable hosts, and she lacks sympathy with tardy guests.

But you sound in need of a drink.

It doesn’t have to be al-cohol, and you don’t even have to drink it yourself. But you could save your-self angst by providing the usual half-hour in which those who arrive on time are served drinks and small nibbles.

Miss Manners is not absolving the latecomers; she is going to teach you to retrain them.

When you issue invita-

tions for 6:30, you should add, “We will be sitting down to dinner promptly at 7.” Not only will this warn the stragglers, but it will relieve those who time their arrivals to avoid the endless cocktail hours to which other hosts have subjected them.

You will have timed your food accordingly and should serve it at the announced time. Guests who arrive later should be seated then, and told gra-ciously, “I knew you would want us to go ahead.”

Lest you feel rude about doing this, Miss Manners assures you that there is distinguished precedent for this. That Southern gentleman George Wash-ington insisted that oicial dinners over which he pre-sided would be served at the announced time, ex-plaining that delay would upset the cook. In your case, you know that to be true.

They work hard, often very hard, on their week-day job. Yet when the weekend came around recently, four friends/co-workers at the town of Col-lierville gladly spent time participating in “Dodge This,” the annual dodge ball tournament fund-raiser benefiting Youth Villages.

The “Jager Bombers” dodgeball team includes four men who work in the Streets and Drainage Di-vision of Collierville Pub-lic Services Department. Jacob Harvey, Sandy Lay, Jacob Rapp and Clay Ticer were four of the six-man team who each paid $30 to participate in the Youth Villages benefit.

In their second year in competition, they won first place. In their first year, the team focused on really great team uniforms. That competition they won, but

didn’t even come close in the actual dodge ball tour-nament.

So this year, Ticer, who is the leader/captain, pulled the group together again and they grabbed T-shirt and shorts and head-ed to the court.

They were all smiles as the “Jager Bombers” won

the amateur division. All proceeds benefit Youth Villages, a private nonprof-it organization dedicated to helping emotionally and behaviorally troubled chil-dren and their families live successfully.

Trena Street is with the Collierville
