“Boeing Boeing,” which runs through March 9 at Germantown Community Theatre, is one of those classic bedroom farces in which the lead charac-ter, usually as a result of their own deceptions, has to juggle a lot of diferent situations lest their whole world comes tumbling down around them.

It’s kind of how Leigh Eck must be feeling these days. Eck, the director of education and outreach at GCT, recently became

interim artistic direc-tor for the company after longtime executive direc-tor Brent Davis recently stepped down. Eck’s new role makes her producer of “Boeing Boeing,” which is being directed by her hus-band, Teddy Eck, who has in turn cast his wife as one of the leads.

For the record, that’s a lot of juggling.

“I’m really kind of in-volved on all levels,” says Eck, with a hint of exhaus-tion in her voice. “Maybe I’m a little biased because I’m in it and producing it and married to the direc-tor, but I really do think this is an exemplary show for our space.”

Written by French play-

wright Marc Camoletti, “Boeing Boeing” takes the light situational comedy familiar from plays like “La Ronde” and “Noises Of” and imbues it with a “Mad Men”-style aesthetic. Set at the dawn of the jet age in the 1960s, the story revolves around Bernard, an American architect living in Paris, who man-ages to juggle three live-in

stewardess iancées be-cause their light sched-ules mean they are never home at the same time. But when his old friend Robert arrives with news of a giant light-disrupting storm, Bernard’s carefully timed life begins to un-ravel.

Germantown residents will haveirst priority in open enrollmentpolicies the Germantown Munici-pal School District is developingto give residents as much choice aspossible over where to attend schoolnext year.

The zoning plans will be votedon Monday. In the meantime, theschool board is working on the openenrollment issue to approve at thesame time.

Whether open enrollment fornonresidents would involve a tu-ition is still up for debate, but boardmembers said they are aiming tohave a decision on that as well bythe March meeting.

Supt. Jason Manuel presented adraft of the open enrollment poli-cies, one for residents and one fornonresidents, during the board’sFeb. 19 work session.

It’s still unclear which schoolswill have room for open enrollment.But should there be room for thosewho live outside the district, thepolicy will prioritize applications ineight tiers, and will be most accom-modating to kids with establishedconnections to the schools.

“We don’t want to split up fami-lies,” Manuel said in the discussionof his proposal.

The policy would give preferenceto district employees’ children, thenhonors academy students, studentscurrently enrolled in the schools,siblings of students in the schools,city employees’ children, nonresi-dents in previous attendance zones,and then the rest of Shelby County.If any spots remain, children of in-state, out-of-county residents wouldbe last.

If there weren’t enough availablespaces to accommodate all of thosein one tier of the criteria, Manuelsaid he is leaning toward a lotterysystem after the board’s discussionFeb. 19.

Melissa todd, executive director with Best Buddies-shelby County, and olivia shawkey, Miss Collierville’s outstanding teen 2014, are working to bring local attention to the national efort to “spread the Word to End the Word.” this efort is to raise peoples’ awareness of the derogatory use of the R-Word (retard or retarded) and its negative efects on people with intellectual disabilities.

By Chelsea ChandlerSpecial to The Weekly

In the six weeks since be-ing chosen Miss Collierville’s Outstanding Teen 2014, Olivia Shawkey has kept busy with many oicial activities, but the one clos-est to her 15-year-old heart is Best Buddies.

Best Buddies is a national orga-nization that encourages one-to-one friendships between people with disabilities and those with-out. Through local school chapters and events, the emerging Shelby County Best Buddies chapter is growing its footprint and helping to form Best Buddy relationships.

“There are over 200 million people around the world intellec-tual disabilities,” Shawkey said Feb. 24 before Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner and the Town’s Board of Aldermen. “People with intel-lectual and developmental disabil-ities are capable and enjoy shar-ing life experiences — listening to music, playing video games, watching the latest movies, and yes, just having fun! Sometimes, they just need a buddy to have fun with, and that is the mission of Best Buddies.”

Shawkey, along with Best Bud-dies executive director Melissa Todd, are working to bring lo-cal attention to the national ef-fort to “Spread the Word to End the Word.” This efort is to raise peoples’ awareness of the deroga-tory use of the R-Word (retard or retarded) and its negative efects on people with intellectual dis-abilities. However, this campaign is about more than just raising awareness of the R-word; it is also about changing attitudes of seg-regation and hate, to attitudes of acceptance and respect.

During the Town of Collier-ville’s official meeting, Joyner proclaimed March 5 as “Spread the Word to End the Word Day” in Collierville. Citizens and youth of the Town of Collierville are encouraged to think before they speak, and help spread the word to end the R-word.

Pickler ending board tenure

Shelby County Schools board member David Pick-ler announced Feb. 19 he will not seek re-election after his current term ends Aug. 31.

Pickler, who has served on the board for 16 years, said he wants to spend more time on school ad-vocacy nationwide. He is serving as president of School Board Associations.

Pickler, 55, of German-town was chairman of the county school system that served the areas outside of Memphis until the merger of the systems in 2013.

He said supporters asked him to consider runs for the County Commis-sion and possibly mayor of Germantown.

Mayor Sharon Gold-sworthy has already said she will not run again this year.

Germantown Alderman Mike Palazzolo announced Monday he will run for mayor in November.

Palazzolo, 50, is in his 10th year as an alderman. He does not have to resign from his role as an alder-man in order to run for mayor.

“I think it’s an exten-

sion of what I’ve done for the last 10 years,” Palazzolo said after Monday’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting. “I really enjoy service. It’s one of those things that drives me.”

Palazzolo is the irst to announce his candidacy for the position. The dead-line to ile is noon on Aug. 21 for the Nov. 4 election.

He said he wanted to announce his candidacy early so he could start the

process of going door-to-door in the commu-nity, which he has done for each of his aldermen campaigns.

“It’s fun for me,”

Palazzolo said. “I get to get out and talk to people, and also listen.”

He added he will be go-

ing door-to-door all sum-mer whether or not he has an opponent.

Mayor Sharon Gold-sworthy announced sev-eral weeks ago she will not seek re-election after more than 20 years in the oice.

She is the longest-serving mayor in Shelby County.

Palazzolo served as vice mayor in 2007 and 2014. He moved to Germantown in 1977 and spent three years

as a Memphis City Schools teacher of economics and government before a 25-year career as a banker.

He was chairman of the board and treasurer for the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce and currently serves in community organizations such as the Leadership Germantown Alumni As-sociation, Tennessee Mu-nicipal League and River-dale PTSA.

City spokeswoman Sta-cey Ewell said Palazzolo would remain an alderman until potentially becoming mayor, and could keep his seat if he lost the election. If he were to be elected mayor, his alderman seat would become vacant and someone would be ap-pointed to ill it.

Aldermen Greg Marcom and John Drinnon will be up for re-election in No-vember as well.

Like a low-budget sci-fi film, the seafood gets its revenge last Sunday afternoon as Chloe Smith badgers her brother Ben Smith with an inflatable lobster while he snacks on some seafood gumbo from Tug’s Casual Grill during Youth Villages’ 25th annual Soup Sunday event at FedExForum.

FUNDRAISER

By Jane [email protected]

901-529-2512

Youth Villages pulled of its 25th ode to the power of soup last Sunday — undergirded in roux, cream base and broth. And that was just the soup.

Food truck fare outside FedEx-Forum varied from vegan (Fuel Café) to fried Oreos (The Soul Pig). Awards for the graze-fest included honors for best bread, dessert, gumbo, soup — of course — and specialty items.

All told, samples with dollops of crème fraîche, isosceles of pita and sprinkles of green onion net-ted Youth Villages $80,000 to $90,000. At booth No. 1, exactly where he’s been for 25 years, Half Shell owner Danny Sumrall was soaking up the vibe — heavy on nostalgia and jazz from nearby Memphis Doctors Dance Band.

“About 1990, Mike Warr was on the board for Youth Villages,” Sumrall said. “In one of our restau-rants in Little Rock we were doing Soup Sunday, an Arkansas efort for kids. We saw that as such an opportunity, Mike said, ‘C’mon, we’re going to do it at Bilbo’s.’

“We just kept going every year. We outgrew (Captain) Bilbo’s af-ter a few years. Then, we went to Woodland Hills and outgrew it. Then we went to The Pyramid, which now is obviously going its own direction …”

On Sunday Warr and Sumrall received Youth Villages’ Warr-Sumrall Spirit of Service Award for envisioning, on a small scale,

what is now one of the largest food charity events in Memphis, including nearly 60 restaurateurs and a crowd organizers early on estimated at 3,000. Each paid $30.

“What better year to receive it than the 25th anniversary of the event you helped start,” said spokeswoman Kimberly Rossie. “We are so grateful to them for everything they do. The award in itself is a tribute to the selless service and dedication of those two men.”

The foodie fair spans the entire perimeter of the Forum, punctu-ated with nooks for eating and vis-iting amid live music. Up a loor, in the Opus Lounge, 500 to 700 more people paid $75 a ticket for a quieter, more sophisticated Soup Sunday, including fare from Felicia Suzanne’s.

The event beneits programs for youths with behavioral and emo-tional programs.

When CEO Patrick Lawler opened the doors at 11 a.m., 1,000 people had been waiting 45 min-utes.

“It started 25 years ago with a couple hundred people,” Lawler said. “Now, it’s hundreds of vol-unteers every year. It’s restaurants donating the soup. It’s the com-munications in our community. People are really supportive of sharing the story.”

Most of the proceeds will help the hundreds of teens across the state who have aged out of the fos-ter care system.

“We get some support from the government, but not nearly enough to take care of all the kids,” said Lawler, who started Youth Villages 34 years ago.

If teens are not adopted and can’t return to their families, they are on their own at 18. Youth Villages provides a safety net — transportation, housing, food, clothing, help with tuition and staf who check in once or twice a week to keep the ship on course.

Before that, Youth Villages tries to ill the gap with vocation-al skills, including its Food with Class program for teens who want to work in the industry.

ten play,” Eck says of the script, which was trans-lated into English for the London stage in 1962, turned into a ilm star-ring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis in 1965, and most recently revived on Broadway with Bradley Whitford in 2008. “It’s a classic farce. There’s seven doors, a lot of doors slamming, and crazy tim-ing. It always seems like one girl’s on stage and she goes in the bathroom just as the other one comes from the bedroom.”

Eck plays Gabriella, Bernard’s Italian iancée. Rounding out the trio of international lovelies are Jaclyn Sufel as the Ger-man Gretchen, and Katie Sloan as American Glo-ria. Brian Everson plays Bernard, Stuart Turner is Robert, and Cheryl McClurg plays Bernard’s housekeeper Bertha.

In keeping with the cha-otic nature of the story, Eck says the biggest chal-lenge in putting together the show has been keeping everything on set — the props, rooms, costumes — straight.

“When you have a play based in confusion it tends to be confusing,” she says. “That’s part of the fun of it is being able to do that successfully. The payof is deinitely worth it.”

Eck and Renee Davis Brame, interim managing director at GCT, stepped into their new roles last month when Davis stepped down after 4½ years.

Amid the large cast and crew coming together to stage the current produc-tion of “Seussical” at Col-lierville’s Harrell Perform-ing Arts Theater, a small group of folks stands out.

The Hollands of Ger-mantown have ive mem-bers of their family repre-senting two generations participating in the show, with father G.W. playing the Grinch, mom Pearl and daughter Camilla playing citizens of Whoville, and another daughter, Ella, taking on a couple of mi-nor roles. Daughter Gloria helps out as assistant stage manager.

“Mom and Dad both have helped with painting some of the set pieces and even making some of the props as well as being in the show themselves,” says Terry Dean, who is producing the show for the Collierville Arts Council. “We kind of run the gamut on this show, from adults to kids who have never done anything on the stage before.”

There are not many plays that could unite the generations like that, but “Seussical,” based on the works of beloved children’s author Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, is deinitely one of them.

Beginning with 1937’s “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” Geisel, once a struggling cartoonist and advertis-ing illustrator, published 46 books that have become among the most cherished titles in children’s litera-ture, including “Green Eggs and Ham,” “The Cat in the Hat,” “The Lorax,” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”

Geisel’s works have been adapted many times for stage and screen, but Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Fla-herty’s “Seussical,” which debuted on Broadway in 2000 and has since become a favorite of regional, com-munity and children’s the-aters, is unique.

While generally mirror-ing the plot of the beloved “Horton Hears A Who!” in which the titular elephant vows to protect the tiny citizens of Whoville, the show incorporates char-acters and situations from 18 Seuss books, includ-ing “The Cat in the Hat,”

“Gertrude McFuzz” and “Mayzie LaBird.”

The cast is headed by Austin Wood as Horton, Ty Lenderman as the Cat in the Hat, Nicole Bartley as JoJo, Izzy Myers as Mayzie and Maddie Dunavant as Gertrude.

The Harrell’s “Seussi-cal” is at least the fourth to grace a Memphis-area stage in the past year.

People of all ages came to the YMCA at Schilling Farms to plunge into the outdoor pool to kick-of the YMCA 2014 annual campaign.

Proceeds from the cam-paign help with fee assis-tance for those in need with before and after-school child care, summer day camp, swim lessons, and memberships.

This year’s plunge had three celebrity plungers including Amy Spero-polos, news reporter on WMC-TV Channel 5 News, DJ Cory with the Tom and Cory Show on radio stations 95.3 & 97.7 the Rebel and Big Country 105.5 & 100.1 and former

U.S. Olympic Gold Med-alist, Julia Stowers, who was in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Stow-ers won her gold medal by swimming in the women’s 200 meter freestyle relay.

“It is always great to see the support of the com-munity when we have our plunge,” said Will Albritton,

executive director of the YMCA at Schilling Farms.

There were more than 35 plungers and more than $3,000 was raised. Last year, the YMCA at Schil-ling Farms provided more than $263,000 in inancial assistance to families and individuals. More than $83,000 in fee assistance helped 150 families in the Collierville area with child care including summer day camp. The goal for the Y is to raise $80,000 through April 18.

Keeping up with the orders for pancakes and bacon required diligence from third grade teacher Hay Cook and as-sistant principal Debbie Snowden.

With help from Perkins Restaurant cook Reginal Hill (left) and general manager Mark Nichols, the pancakes were light and lufy. Perkins donated the services of four staf members and all the food for the fourth consecutive year.

Collierville Elementary School teachers and staf recently hosted their sixth annual Pancake Breakfast.

The breakfast acts as a fundraiser to help the school keep up with the lat-est in classroom technology developments.

“In the past six years our pancake breakfasts have raised an average of $3,000 per year,” said principal Louise Claney. “This year’s money is earmarked to pur-chase a Promethean Board, an interactive white board that allows teachers and students to show their work while in the classroom.”

CES teacher Beth San-sone, who served as chair-woman of the event, credits their volunteers and others for the success of the break-fast. “We have half our staf; teachers, administrators, front oice and cafeteria staf who come in on their day of to help make this the success it is. Additionally, our sponsors provide the inishing touches to insure that all the money we raise goes directly to our invest-ment in classroom technol-ogy.”

One sponsor who is most visible to the efort is the Perkins Restaurant in Col-lierville. They provide four of their store’s personnel in addition to the bacon, the pancakes and the syrup. Perkin’s general manager Mark Nichols, who was busily trying to keep up the demand for pancakes, said, “We are here because we are happy to be a part of this community. “

Other sponsors include Chef’s Supply, McDonalds, Chick-il-A, Starbucks, Son-ic, Kroger, Costco and Party Works.

It was obvious by the smiles on the faces of the kids, teachers, parents, ad-ministrators, kitchen staf and the others who attend-ed that this event is about more than eating pancakes. This is about coming to-gether in support of those who educate their children.

A group of men who saved the world in the 1940s gathers every third Thursday at a church in Germantown.

They eat, pray, pledge their allegiance to the lag and one another, and talk. Their memories are still strong, but their numbers are dwindling.

“Dad never talked with us about the war, but he talked to these guys,” said Becky Smith, whose father, Hollan Richardson, was a Marine who survived two gunshots at the battle of Iwo Jima 69 years ago this week.

“Just being around them gives you such an appreci-ation and respect for what they did.”

We know and respect what the veterans of World War II did for us so many decades ago.

But as we surf past grainy black-and-white flickers on the History Channel or watch mov-ie scenes starring John Wayne or Tom Hanks, we shouldn’t forget who they were when we sent them overseas into the largest and deadliest struggle for freedom in human history.

Hollan Richardson, who died in December at the age of 88, grew up on a farm in Alco, Ark.

He was 18 when he fol-lowed his four brothers into World War II.

He was 19 when he land-ed on Iwo Jima, one of the war’s bloodiest battles.

“We forget how young they were,” said Diane Hight, founder of Forever Young, which convenes the monthly meeting.

“When you consider who they were and what

they accom-plished, it’s even more r e m a r k -able.”

J i m m y Keep was a 17-year-old South M e m p h i s kid when

he enlisted in the Marines, 18 when he survived the Corps’ bloodiest battles on Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guam. How did he sur-vive? “I moved my head left one time instead of right,” he said.

Clyde May was a 20-year-old from Marked Tree, Ark., when the Navy put him on a destroyer in the Paciic.

“I’m just glad we got through it,” he said Feb. 20 at Germantown Baptist Church, which hosts about 50 World War II veterans every month.

Luke McLaurine was 19 when the Army Air Corps strapped him into a B-24 bomber. He was shot down over Germany and held as a prisoner of war.

“I’d rather be known as a baker,” said the man who ran McLaurine’s Bakery in Memphis with his wife, Bonnie.

Earl Harrell was a 17-year-old kid from Clarksdale, Miss., when the Army shipped him to battle the Japanese in the Philippines. “We did it and came home; that’s all,” Harrell said. “The real heroes were the ones who didn’t come home.”

The ones who did come home are disappearing.

Of the more than 16 million Americans who served in World War II, fewer than 5 million are still alive — fewer than 3,000 in Shelby County.

By Michael LollarSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

They worked for a telecom company that had 150 retail stores. In their 20s, they were liv-ing lives of luxury compared with other 20-somethings in America, but they were miserable.

Joshua Millburn had skipped college and worked his way up from salesman to become, at 27, the youngest director of opera-tions in the company’s 140-year history. He and his best friend, sales manager Ryan Nicodemus, both born in 1981, had known each other since elementary school. They made more than $100,000 a year and had almost any material possessions they wanted.

Their jobs meant constant meetings, endless spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations that gave them the chance to yawn when the lights were dimmed. Their lives hovered around co-workers with multiple divorces, the near-certainty of soul-sapping drudgery and the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes. They worked 70 to 80 hours a week and knew how to sell, but not how to be happy.

After the economy collapsed in 2008, Millburn eventually shocked his boss by turning in a downsizing recommendation with himself on the list to go. Ni-codemus followed within a few months.

They had lived large, but were going to learn to live with next to nothing. They became minimal-ists.

They are building new, simpler lives that “align with their inter-ests, values and beliefs,” Millburn writes in their new book, “Every-thing That Remains.”

Their website, TheMinimalists.com, is one of many promoting

minimalism and has attracted 2 million followers, including Mem-phian John Mitchell, a social stud-ies teacher at Elmore Park Middle School.

Like the authors, Mitchell, 44, is divorced and found minimal-ism on the Internet as a way to help “cope” with the aftermath of divorce and living a life that was not making him happy.

Also like the authors, Mitch-ell’s old life and its pursuit of the American dream meant accu-mulating debt. For the authors, six-igure salaries just meant six-igure debt.

“The lames of consumption have licked at me from a young age,” Millburn writes. “First, consumerism represented all the things I wanted but was too poor to aford as a kid: the video games, the logo’d clothes, the nice car. But when I began to acquire those things, my thirst was not quenched. ”

For Mitchell, forsaking his past consumption was like an exor-cism. He decided to move from Chattanooga back to his home-town. “I had to make decisions on what was important. I decided possessions were not. ... When it

was all said and done, I was able to move all my worldly posses-sions here in a Honda Accord.”

Millburn’s new lifestyle began to show right away. He began exer-cising, dropping from 240 pounds to 165. Nicodemus, who was still working for the corporation at the time, took notice. “I noticed a signiicant change in Josh’s at-titude and behavior. I asked him, ‘What are you doing? Why are you happy?’ He said, ‘I’ve really been trying to focus on the things that are important in life.’ He said, ‘I think I’m onto something,’ and he said, ‘You might want to look into it because you’ve got a lot of crap.’”

In Memphis, Mitchell also focused on diet, cutting out red meat, pork and deep-fried foods. He took up running. He settled with two friends into a shared rental house in Cordova where he lives in one room with a futon, a desk and TV trays as end tables. He still pays child support for a son in Chattanooga, but, “I’ll be debt-free in a few months. I don’t miss the debt, and as a result, I don’t miss the stuf. ... My one vice is I do still eat out occasionally, but I usually use a coupon for me and my girlfriend.”

FAITH MATTERS

World War II veterans gather to remember

Want Fast Relief From

Your Neuropathy

Symptoms?

If you have numbness or tingling in

your feet, read this. Ask yourself,

“Have I ever been diagnosed with a

condition called neuropathy?

Do I suffer from Diabetes? Do I take

a statin drug? Do I really WANT relief

with my neuropathy symptoms?”

If so…

What Are Your Symptoms?If you’ve ever had symptoms like:

• leg cramps,

• swelling,

• sharp pains from you back,

• shooting, electric-like pains,

• pain when walking,

• muscle weakness,

• poor balance, or

• open sores or ulcers on your feet, you

have to take this seriously.

Already Proven To Work!I am a practicing doctor in

COLLIERVILLE and I’ve developed

an exclusive neuropathy system that is

completely SAFE, has been proven to

work, and is non-invasive. It’s based

on ‘scientiic principles’ that cause

internal changes so your body heals.

You’ll inally start to get some relief

and it’s strictly administered along

common-sense protocols by my staff

and myself.

What Are You Losing?When you have neuropathy, you

lose your strength, your vitality, and

you will suffer needlessly. And on top

of all of that, you AGE prematurely

because you’re either always sitting,

or you hobble around like a disabled

person. That will change after you start

receiving this amazing technology.

You may be suffering now, but within a

few weeks, you’ll be walking normal again,

and most likely, you won’t have the severe

symptoms I mentioned earlier.

Can You Qualify?I don’t know if you qualify, without

examining you. Most people that come

to the ofice admit they have a fear

of failure, but surprisingly, instead

of having their hopes smashed again,

they get RELIEF. And all neuropathy

patients go through a thorough

screening to ind out if they qualify.

That way I know whether or not I can

help you. If I do an evaluation and it

does not appear that you will be a good

candidate, you will NOT be accepted.

What Should You Do Next?Helping people know the best treatment

available for them is the best service

I can provide. So CALL my ofice

NOW! Don’t worry. You won’t have

to make any radical changes in your

lifestyle, have surgery, or take any

harmful drugs.

None of that. Your treatments will

be private and you’ll consult with me

personally for follow up and questions.

Once you regain your health, you’ll

have more energy, look good, and walk

and feel normal again. You’re going to

be excited by the results!!

Get Relief!"I've tried everything and nothing

worked.This was easy. I feel GREAT!"

Lisa Andreotta may not say her dogs are hotties, but she had them both at Rhodes College last Sunday for a photo shoot bound to give them some face time in a “Hottest Hounds” book.

“I saw a post on the Hu-mane Society Facebook page. It sounded interest-ing. ... I wanted to support them and I also wanted to have professional photos of my dogs,” she said.

Andreotta was one of 28 dog owners Sunday and nearly an equal num-ber at Shelby Farms who turned out last Saturday with their wallets for the

Memphis edition of Hot-test Hounds, a black and white cofee table book of Memphis hounds.

For $100, she gets a page in the book; 30 percent of the proceeds go to the Hu-mane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. For $50 more, she got a CD of all the poses.

Cassie Moore of Bir-mingham was running the impromptu outdoor studio at Rhodes and Overton Park on Sunday, lining up gregarious and gorgeous “fur babies” for friend and business partner Ann Wade Shreve, a Birming-ham photographer.

“We relied on Memphis Humane Society to ad-vertise and market it for

us,” Moore said. “We do everything together. We had a friend on the morn-ing show, “Good Morning, Memphis.” But most of it was word-of-mouth.”

The two came up with the idea three years ago. The first Birmingham book came out in 2011.

“Within the irst week,

we’d written the Humane Society a check for $5,000, and we’re still selling the books in Birmingham, so it’s an ongoing thing,” Moore said.

“Our next photo shoot in Memphis is March 29-30,” Moore said. “If you buy, you’re absolutely in the book.”

St. George’s relay team

lead her team to an 11th place

finish in the 200 medley and

13th in the 400 freestyle.

By Sarah AcufSpecial to The Weekly

The entire St. George’s swim team achieved sea-son or lifetime best times at the meet at the state championships held earli-er this month in Nashville.

Wil Barton capped of a strong high school swim-ming career with a third-place inish in the 500 free-style (school record) and fourth-place inish in the 200-yard freestyle.

The relay team of Ra-chel Howard, Lexie Ma-rotta, Calla Michalak and Sarah Thompson placed 11th in the 200 medley

relay and 13th in the 400 freestyle relay (also an-other school record).

“To have a meet where 100 percent of your team swims personal bests is unusual, especially with such a large state team, many of those battling injury and/or illness dur-ing the season. The entire team reaped the beneits of their hard work this past season. They swam with efort and heart,” said St. George’s assistant swim coach, Andrea Ballard.

The St. Agnes swim team, also known as the Bathing Beauties, had an impressive performance in the State High School Swimming and Diving Championships held earli-er this month in Nashville. The St. Agnes swimmers have much to be proud of after performing in this highly competitive meet consisting of 127 teams and more than 800 swim-mers across the state.

Hallie O’Bannon, Bailey Jenkins, Mary Catherine Merschat, and Anderson Roe, all new to the state scene, joined veteran state competitors Emma Grace Pecha and Zoe Whelan, to give season best perfor-mances in the 200 medley and 200 free relays.

Pecha of Cordova and Whelan of Germantown swam personal best times and scored more points this year than last year, despite tougher competi-tion and in a venue where numerous records were

set. In individual events with well over 70 competi-tors, Pecha placed fourth in the 500 free and sixth in the 200 free and Whelan placed fourth in the 100 butterly and 15th in the 200 individual medley. Their combined points helped the Stars to inish in 15th place out of 45 teams in the women’s division.

The Shelby County Swim League sent 136 swimmers representing 18 schools to compete in the 2014 State High School Swimming and Diving

Championships. The top placing schools

in the women’s division are:

St. Mary’s Episcopal School, 12th; Memphis Home Educators Asso-ciation, 13th; St. Agnes, 15th; Germantown, 16th; St. George’s Independent School, 25th; Collierville, 36th; Evangelical Chris-tian School, 40th and St. Benedict at Auburndale High School, 45th.

Sports


By Nolan CychowskiSpecial to The Weekly

Haven’t you heard about all of those great ski slopes in Indiana? No? Well the Scouts of Troop 270 found some at Perfect North Slopes in Lawrence, Ind. on their ski trip.

In January, 24 Troop 270 Scouts packed up their gloves and gear, loaded two vans and braved the eight hour van ride to their destination, stopping overnight at the Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green, Ky., along the way.

Upon arrival, Troop 270 found the slopes at Perfect North to be, well, “per-fect.” With slope grades ranging from “bunny” to “double black” and lessons available for the inexperi-enced, everyone was able to ind a slope to match their level of proiciency. If you didn’t want to ski, then you could strap into a snowboard and join your fellow skiers on the “ter-rain” course.

Skiing was principal ac-tivity of the weekend, how-ever, these young men still found time to compose and lead a worship service — including music — at their host church, Hamline Chapel United Methodist.

The Scouts also prepared a meal of chili and rolls on their last evening.

The trek back to Ger-mantown can best be de-scribed as loud, fragrant and sufused with tales of the weekend’s skiing ad-

ventures. There’s no ques-tion about it, the Scouts of 270 will anxiously await their next “perfect trip” to Perfect North Slopes.

Nolan Cychowski is with Troop

270.

Twenty-eight down, two to go for the Briarcrest girls basketball team.

The Saints booked an-other trip to the Division 2-AA state tournament last Friday and remained un-beaten, pulling away from the free-throw line late to defeat visiting Nashville Father Ryan Friday, 59-44.

The Saints got a huge ef-fort from Jasmine Cincore, a Nebraska signee.

Settling down after her team started slowly, she scored 28 points, go-ing 13 of 16 from the line. The Saints went 17 of 18 from the line in the fourth quarter to inally pull away from the pesky Irish (18-9).

“The thing about Father Ryan is ... they force you to play ugly,” said Saints coach Lee Smith. “(Cincore) was trying to do too much. I just told her to settle down, ‘let us play with you.’ ”

Said Cincore, “They’re scrappy. In the second half, we did a better job of inishing. (And) we felt like if we could control the boards, we’d control the game.”

Brynn Holden scored 12 for the Saints, and twin sis-ter Elise Holden added 11.

Briarcrest will be joined at state this week by North-point, which advanced to the D2-A tournament for the second year in a row with a 47-44 victory over Franklin Road Academy.

Memphis’ other private girls school hopefuls saw their seasons end. In D2-A, Ezell-Harding defeated Harding, 48-34, Univer-

sity School of Nashville eliminated ECS, 59-35, and Knoxville Webb ended St. Mary’s season, 61-24.

In D2-AA, Harpeth Hall ousted St. Benedict, 58-33, and Ensworth defeated St. Agnes, 48-23.

THREE BOYS TEAMS ADVANCE TO D2-AA SEMIFINALS

The Division 2-AA boys tournament in Nashville this week might as well be called the Memphis Invita-tional.

Three of the four teams in the tournament, which begins Friday at Lipscomb University, are from Mem-phis after CBHS, Briarcrest and MUS all won last Sat-urday.

Josh Bougher scored 16 points and Brode McLaughlin added 13 as the Purple Wave (17-11) knocked of Chattanooga Baylor, 51-38. CBHS will face Nashville Ensworth in the semis.

Briarcrest trailed by seven at halftime but ral-lied to defeat Montgomery Bell Academy, 55-45. Adam Pike scored 17 to lead the Saints (19-9), who will take on MUS on Friday in the semis. The Owls got 21 points from Bailey Buford — all on 3-pointers — to de-feat Chattanooga McCallie, 56-33.

ECS ONLY D2-A BOYS TEAM TO MAKE STATE

Evangelical Christian School will represent Memphis in the D2-A boys tournament after grinding its way to a 33-15 victory over Donelson Christian. Marcus Lytle scored 12 to lead the Eagles (17-12). Re-

gional tournament MVP Isaac James chipped in nine.

St. George’s ends the sea-son 26-3, losing to Franklin Road Academy, 55-52, de-

spite 23 points from Justin Wertner. Harding lost at Knoxville Webb, 68-59, and defending state champ Lausanne also fell, 63-41 at Battle Ground Academy.

When the inal buzzer had sounded and his team had inally put away Hous-ton, White Station basket-ball coach Jesus Patino leaned back and breathed a sigh of relief.

“The curse is lifted,” he said, following his team’s 55-51 victory over the de-termined Mustangs in the opening round of the Re-gion 8-AAA tournament.

For a program with as much history as White Sta-tion, the “curse” Patino re-ferred to was a signiicant one. Last Saturday’s victo-ry ended a two-year losing streak in the irst round of the region tournament.

“Regardless of how many tough games, re-gardless of how many na-tionally ranked teams you play during the season, there’s always the next game. I think last year was

lingering in their minds a little bit. They’re just teen-agers and I think (at the start) maybe they were too tight. That’s my responsi-bility and in the second half we just had fun.”

Houston, which ends the year 22-9, followed its game plan to perfection, slowing the pace down and packing it in. And — despite the fact the White Station never trailed in the contest — the Mustangs were able to stay within striking distance.

“I think if you were to rank all the teams in the city, they would probably be fourth,” said Patino of the Mustangs. “I asked (assistant) coach Christo-pher) Simpson ‘how would you beat us?’ And he said, ‘slow it down and pack it in.’ ”

But Chris Chiozza fu-eled a key spurt in the fourth quarter, lobbing passes to Ladarius Cole-man and Leron Black for

easy scores and scoring twice himself to help the Spartans (29-1) stay in front.

And sophomore guard Dillon Mitchell, who in-ished with eight points, made six free throws and came up with a big steal in the inal minute to seal it.

“Dillon Mitchell is go-ing to be as good as any of the guards who ever came through here, because of his demeanor and his poise,” said Patino.

Senior Leron Black turned in another ine per-formance for the Spartans, scoring 15 of his 21 points in the irst half.

Marlon Hunter scored 21 points to lead Houston. Connor Tipsord inished with 12 and Jerry Johnson Jr. added 10.

In another 8-AAA quarterfinal, K.J. Law-son poured in 31 points as Hamilton eliminated Germantown, 86-73. Jake Miller scored 20 to lead

White Station breaks ‘curse,’ corrals pesky Mustangs

By Pete WickhamSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

For those into the Pick 4 lottery … might want to try the numbers 5-6-4-5.

Ridgeway’s girls pulled of the diicult feat of de-feating White Station for the third time, scoring a 56-45 victory in the Re-gion 8-AAA semifinals at Central. And now the Roadrunners get a chance to settle the score with a Houston team that last week showed just how tough it can be.

The Mustangs, who tripped up Ridgeway in their third meeting last week in the District 15-AAA inals, earned them-selves a date with the Road-runners in Wednesday’s inal — thanks to a 56-45 win over Whitehaven.

Ridgeway got 16 points from senior Ashley Jack-son to equal its 28-3 mark from last season — which ended in a semiinal loss to Overton.

“We know we want to do better than we did last year, and we’ve been striv-ing for that chance,” Jack-son said.

Houston (26-7) and Whitehaven (19-10) mud-dled through a second and third quarter where the two teams combined for 31 total points. But the Mus-tangs came out of the pe-riod with a 33-25 lead, got to the free-throw line early in the fourth quarter and hit 15 of their last 18 tries. Sophomore Jaida Roper had 20 points, including 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch. Senior Aysha Harris added 13 includ-ing nine in a inal period where she was 7-of-8 from the line — after missing four of her irst six.

“I was glad for all those free throw drills about 30 seconds into the (fourth) quarter,” Harris said.

Houston coach Chad Becker added, “We have a lot of individuals com-mitted to doing the little things, like free throws.”

Whitehaven got 14 points apiece from se-niors Laka Blache and Tiara Coleman, but also struggled from the outside.

Win or lose, both Hous-ton and Ridgeway will ad-vance to Saturday’s sec-tional playof games.

On a whim, I recently bought a 10-pound bag of carrots. I don’t have a juic-er, so I’m not churning out carrot juice regularly, but I do like them for a snack. What can I say — I was at Costco, the carrots were organic and for a good price.

Now, I’m dealing with the reality of eating my way through 10 pounds of carrots. Fortunately, car-rots keep a long time when refrigerated, but I have other foods that require refrigerated space as well, so I’m trying to move them out quickly.

I find that regular-sized, whole carrots have a lot more sweetness than the washed and prepared “baby” carrots found bagged in the produce aisle. These aren’t baby carrots at all, but are sim-ply carrots that have gone through a tube type of cut-ter that slices them and

smooths them into small, blunted cylinders.

Carrots are well known for containing large amounts of beta-carotene, which gives them their rich color. Our bodies can convert beta-carotene into vitamin A, an important vi-tamin for immune system function, good bone health and for proper functioning of the visual process.

Carrots have a wealth of other nutrients, too, in-cluding vitamin K, biotin, vitamin B6, copper and manganese. All of this, and only about 50 calories per cup, with virtually no fat.

In a study from the

Netherlands, published in 2011 in the British Journal of Nutrition, researchers categorized fruits and veg-etables by color and looked to see what efect their in-take had on incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Researchers looked specifically at carrots, and found study partici-pants who included at least 25 grams of carrots per day, or just under ¼ cup, showed statistically lower incidences of heart disease. Increasing the amount of carrots to 50-75 grams per day decreased the risk even more.

The nice thing about carrots is that they have a wide appeal among both adults and children. If you get tired of munching on raw carrots, you can shred them into salads, or make salads where they are the main ingredient. Or, you can include them as a side dish, as they complement

a wide variety of entrees.I grew up eating boiled

carrots, cut into rounds, seasoned with butter. It’s a very pleasing combina-tion, and that is probably one of the reasons I was drawn to today’s recipe.

In this recipe, the pan of carrots is covered for the irst 15 minutes of cooking, essentially steaming them a bit and softening them. Then the cover is removed and carrots are left to roast for the remaining time. This allows them to be tender, but still develop the caramelization that gives roasted vegetables their characteristic sweetness.

The use of butter does add saturated fat, but it’s not excessive, and the la-vor can’t be beat.

RECIPE FOR HEALTH

Fitness & Health events

By Kathy K. MartinSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

Meet Jesus on your yoga mat.That is the mission of Holy

Yoga, a Christ-centered practice of yoga that came to Memphis at Independent Presbyterian Church almost two years ago.

This practice goes beyond the basics of traditional yoga, which focuses on physical pos-tures, breathing and meditation toward unity with self, to physi-cal worship of Jesus Christ and unity with Him, regardless of denomination.

Lucy Forrester, who has taken Christian yoga classes for about ive years, said that she was initially apprehensive. “I was very skeptical of the practice of yoga, mainly based upon plain ignorance and my own assump-tions,” she said.

However, after trying a class, she was hooked.

Dealing with some muscular and lexibility issues, Forrester, who is also a ive-year breast cancer survivor, said Holy Yoga helped her heal both emotion-ally and physically.

Melanie Yarbrough, another faithful student, often felt in-timidated by yoga. But she said she sees physical and spiritual improvements in herself.

She posted on her blog some of her thoughts about the class-es: “There’s no shame if you have to drop to your knees dur-ing a plank.”

She sees Holy Yoga as a way to worship God, get it, meditate on Scripture and fellowship with other women.

“I realize now that I am strong,” she said. “My body is capable of so much more than I give it credit for.”

The class meets in Room 153 of the gymnasium building, which is in the back of Inde-pendent Presbyterian Church at 4738 Walnut Grove Road.

Christian music plays throughout the hourlong class as the instructors Mindy John-son and Molly Jo Taylor demon-strate poses and read Scripture.

Johnson begins by asking participants to turn of their cellphones: “It’s time to discon-nect with the world and connect with God.”

A recent class focused on turning the heart to Christ. Related Bible verses were read aloud.

The class concluded with prayer. Participants reclined on their backs with lavender masks over their eyes. The instructors quietly moved around the room, massaging lotion on feet and rubbing shoulders and arms as the soft music ended.

Holy Yoga was launched in Phoenix, Ariz., in 2003 by Brooke Boon, who enjoyed yoga

but wanted to incorporate her Christian faith into her exercise.

The concept came to Mem-phis when Taylor proposed the idea to Adrienne Hillyer, assis-tant director of recreation and itness ministries at Indepen-dent Presbyterian. Taylor, who had learned about Holy Yoga while living in Phoenix, said the whole process was God’s doing. She decided to become a certiied Holy Yoga instructor before moving to Memphis and four months after moving, she became an instructor at Inde-pendent Presbyterian.

“Holy Yoga is another way I spend time with Christ,” said Taylor, “Through the practice I’m able to still my heart and mind and connect with the Lord.”

The main diference between Holy Yoga and traditional yoga, she said, is that Holy Yoga is about Jesus and illing the mind with the Bible as opposed to emptying the mind as said and done in Eastern yoga. “Holy Yoga is 100 percent yoga and 100 percent Jesus.”

Hillyer, who has led a variety of exercise classes for more than

20 years at the church, said that Holy Yoga is the irst class that focuses completely on Jesus.

“God has orchestrated this whole program, and we’re re-ally excited to ofer a worship-ful experience with a sense of community,” she said.

The majority of participants aren’t members of the church, so she views the classes as a ser-vice to the community.

As interest also begins to grow for men, Hillyer hopes to present a Holy Yoga class just for men and to also ofer more than one class in the evening. In addition, she is in the process of becoming certiied through a new Christian program, Revela-tion Wellness, which centers on living healthy and whole lives in Christ. “We’ll continue to of-fer our cardio classes, walking groups and other itness pro-grams, but Holy Yoga has helped me look at our classes with a much more spiritual emphasis.”

Taylor and Johnson are the only certiied Holy Yoga in-structors currently teaching in the Memphis area.

Johnson became a certiied instructor not long after expe-riencing the classes herself. One of the key beneits for her, both as a student and a teacher, is the growth she has experienced in her prayer life, as well as wit-nessing that same beneit in other participants.

“My prayer life used to be like going to Sonic and push-ing the button. I would come to God with my quick list of what I needed, but now I’m learning to be still and to listen to what God has to tell me.”

Molly Jo Taylor, one of two certified Holy Yoga instructors in Memphis, received her training in Phoenix, Ariz., where the program began. Sessions include a reading from the Bible. She said Holy Yoga encourages filling the mind with Scripture, as opposed to emptying the mind, as in Eastern yoga.

GARDEN TIPS

BARBERTON, Ohio — Pamela Andrella and Arica Neill’s business is about more than giving old furniture new life.

It’s also about giving life new direction.

The mother-daughter team runs Alter’d Relics: Design Studio, a home dé-cor shop that specializes in repurposing vintage furniture.

Only a matter of months ago, the business was just a distant dream, a maybe-we’ll-do-that-someday kind of plan. But the two had their hands full with another project, preparing a nursery in Neill’s West Akron, Ohio, home for the child she and her husband were expecting.

Mother and daughter combed tag sales for a dresser and glider to outit

the baby’s room and used their skills to turn those pieces into treasures. They crafted a perfect place to welcome the child they awaited so eagerly.

Sadly, that nursery was never put to use.

Neill went into labor on Aug. 5, more than six weeks before her due date. At the hospital, it was dis-covered that the baby had no heartbeat.

The sudden death of To-bin Shane Neill left a hole in his mother’s heart.

She struggled with her grief but found solace in the nursery she and her mother had created. As she sat there one day, she came to a realization: The creativity she had put into that room could be a thera-peutic outlet.

“I thought, there’s some-thing else I need to do with this energy,” Neill recalled.

She had a willing ac-

complice in her mother, a lifelong scavenger and longtime furniture restor-er. Andrella, who lives in Green, Ohio, has seen the potential in other people’s castoffs ever since she dragged a monogrammed leather suitcase out of the neighbors’ trash the sum-mer before she was in fourth grade. She once sold furniture she’d repurposed at Best Kept Secrets, the shop she ran for 10 years in the storefront next door to where Alter’d Relics is now.

“Before there were pick-ers,” she said with a laugh, “I was doing that.”

She is also no stranger to pain. At age 36, she lost her husband and was left alone to raise their four children, who at the time ranged in age from 2 to 9.

She knew the consola-tion that came from work she enjoyed and the empa-thy of caring customers.

She wanted the same for her daughter.

They set up shop in an empty storefront in down-town Barberton, scaveng-ing a counter and old doors to serve as a room divider from elsewhere in the building. They tore the covering of part of a wall to reveal brick and pulled up three layers of looring to get to the wood under-neath. They shopped es-tate sales and resale shops for tired but good-quality furniture they could enliv-en with paint and a little vision.

After more than two months of work, they un-veiled their business with an open house at the end of November.

The shop sells vin-tage furniture and pieces Andrella and Neill have spruced up with paint, along with jewelry, home accessories and other goods created by a few lo-cal artisans. They also do custom work and sell Blue Minerals chalk paint pow-der, an additive that turns latex or acrylic paint into chalk paint.

The shop is open only

sporadically, because An-drella and Neill operate it in addition to holding down full-time jobs — Andrella as assistant to the president of Summa West-ern Reserve Hospital, and her daughter as a medical secretary at Akron Gen-eral Medical Center.

The plan was to open the shop only one weekend a month, Andrella said. But the response has been so positive that the store is open a few hours Friday and Saturday, as well as a few days each month the two call “splurge dates.”

Early-bird gardeners can catch worms and more when they tune their radios to “In the Garden,” a weekly call-in show that airs from 6-8 a.m. Saturdays on WREC-AM 600.

They might learn how earthworms work hard to improve their soil and, on a recent Saturday morning, how meal-worms attract bluebirds to their yards.

For co-host Kenneth Mabry, 54, the radio show is an extension of the con-versations he has with customers at Dan West Garden Center on Poplar, where has been working since he was in high school. He is now its general manager.

“Kenneth has an ever-friendly per-sonality,” said Ferd Heckle, owner of the Dan West Garden Centers. “Every customer that walks in gets his attention. He knows plants, knows chemicals and knows the business. He’s a jewel.”

His radio partner, Vador (Vada) Vance, 49, also has many years of garden center experience and currently works as a landscaper specializing in courtyard and container design as well as organic gardening methods.

On a snowy morning about two weeks ago, local bluebird expert David Hill joined them in the studio. He dis-cussed the importance of installing the right birdhouse and providing the right foods to attract the colorful birds to your

garden. In about a month when gardening

season heats up, the phone lines light up with waiting callers. In the slower win-ter months, Vance does some advance preparation each week for a few timely subjects to discuss.

No matter what the season, they al-ways expect a telephone call from Paul Little, a nurseryman and member of sev-eral plant societies who like to spotlight upcoming garden events and lectures. “A lot of people who listen to them don’t belong to gardening organizations and would not get so much good information without the radio show,” Little said.

Jamie Childers is another regular who calls to let listeners know about events put on by the Memphis Area Master Gar-deners. “It’s a great way for us to get out our information,” he said.

So what are some of the problems fac-ing gardeners these days?

Lacebugs that suck the juice from the leaves from azaleas have become preva-lent, especially on weak plants and those sited in full sun, Mabry said.

For organic controls, he recommends spraying the backs of the leaves with dor-mant oils now. The oil coats the leaves and smothers the eggs of the lacebugs. In early spring, you can kill them with a systemic leaf spray like acephate (Orth-ene) or a systemic soil drench like Merit (imidacloprid).

Once the bugs are controlled, Mabry

says it’s important to boost the vigor of the plant by spreading compost and or-ganic plant foods around its base. Be sure to provide enough water during hot, dry periods.

Last week, Vance reminded listeners it is time to prune nandinas.

“The tall stems remind me of girafe legs,” Vance said. “You can selectively prune the tallest ones back to the ground to renew the plant. And consider grow-ing some of the shorter ones like Blush Pink. I love it.”

Blush Pink is a compact plant that grows about 2 feet tall with typical nan-dina leaves that are pink when young and then turn bright purplish pink to red during fall and winter. Ideal for contain-ers, they have no lowers or berries and require no pruning.

During the show, the co-hosts urged listeners to take advantage of the mild day by working outdoors to get their gar-dens ready for spring.

“It’s time to spread compost and put down some pre-emerge weed killers,” Mabry said. “You have to do it before you see those early-spring weeds and then apply it again in about 100 days.”

As spring nears, Mabry is noticing an uptick in customers searching for seeds to start indoors and outside. “I see people looking at our big wall of seeds and day-dreaming about all the beautiful things they want to grow in their gardens,” he said.

Gardeners hope the cold winter has helped to con-trol the insect population, but maybe not. Insects can survive under very extreme conditions.

Many insects have ways to avoid or tolerate the ef-fects of cold. Some over-winter under plant debris; others burrow into the soil.

Despite the cold, we’ll probably have problems with some insects this spring and summer. Here are some of the most com-mon insects that attack our plants:

■ Scale insects are com-mon on some of the euony-mus shrubs (a small plant). This problem is easy to spot because the insects build a hard cover over themselves for protection. The covers look like tiny white or brown spots on the stems of the plants.

The most efective way to control scale is to spray with dormant oil during the winter. Dormant oil can damage the plant if you spray when the tem-perature is too hot. Read and follow label directions.

■ Spider mites can be found on many landscape plants. As their name indi-cates, they are tiny and dif-icult to see. To check for spider mites, hold a white sheet of paper under a branch and tap the branch. If you see something on the paper that appears to be moving, you probably have spider mites.

Your local garden center will have a spray to control them. The insects can be washed of the plant with a high pressure stream of water from your garden hose.

■ Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that may be-come a problem in the sum-mer. Aphids can be green, yellow, gray or pink. They suck the sap out of leaves, normally attacking their underside. Infested leaves turn yellow brown, curl and sometimes drop of.

Aphids can be con-trolled with a chemical. Read and always follow directions before spraying. Beneicial insects, such as lady bugs or lacewing in-sects, can provide some control.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin was built in 1220 in honor of Ireland’s patron saint. Some wish to tone down the revelry connected to St. Patrick’s celebrations and return to the religious roots as well as bring more attention to the hundreds of other saints and relics of their deeds.

By Helen O’NeillAssociated Press

DUBLIN — St. Patrick may have banished snakes and brought Christianity to Ireland, but perhaps his

greatest feat was one of sheer en-durance. After all, there were hun-dreds of other future saints roam-ing Ireland at the time, but Patrick is the one who gets the party.

On March 17, Guinness will low from Malin to Moscow, the Chicago River will run green, and parades will be held worldwide to celebrate the 5th century preacher and patron saint of Ireland.

“St. Patrick’s legacy is pretty impressive,” says historian Brian Lacey, “especially considering he wasn’t even Irish.”

Patrick was British, captured at age 16 by a band of raiders and brought as a slave to Ireland. For six years he tended sheep on a remote mountain in County An-trim and wrestled with visions from God. After escaping, he went on to become a bishop who trav-eled throughout Ireland building churches, baptizing converts and performing countless miracles along the way.

In recent years there have been calls to rein in the revelry and re-claim the religious aspects of the national holiday. Some are even attempting to boost the name rec-ognition of other saints (early Irish records list as many as 1,700) and bring their stories to the attention of the world.

There are hundreds of holy wells, sacred round towers and monastic remains all over Ireland, and it seems every town and vil-lage boasts its own special miracle maker.

GLENDALOUGH, COUNTY WICKLOW: ST. KEVIN

At Glendalough (valley of two lakes) in County Wicklow, visi-tors can wander through the re-mains of a monastic settlement that for 500 years was one of Ire-land’s greatest centers of learning. Founded by Kevin in the sixth century, the soaring round tower, churches and gravestones, as well as “St. Kevin’s Bed” — a man-made cave carved into the rock high over one of the lakes — creates a strik-ingly evocative scene and almost

mystical sense of the past.Tour guides ofer tales of how

Kevin cast a monster into the up-per lake, and once, while fasting, allowed a blackbird to build a nest on his outstretched hand. The sto-ry goes that he kept his arm out-stretched until the chicks hatched.

At the time Ireland was dubbed “the Island of Saints and Scholars” and monastic settlements had to compete for pilgrims and patrons — causing in-house scribes to pen ever more dramatic tales of saintly powers.

KILDARE, COUNTY KILDARE: ST. BRIGID

Brigid, for example, is said to have turned water into ale, divert-ed rivers from their courses and conjured up extra bacon for unex-pected guests. When she decided to build a monastery in Kildare in

the 5th century, she needed land from a local chieftain. He grudg-ingly agreed to give her as much as her cloak would cover. Miracu-lously, the cloak kept spreading for as many acres as she wanted.

CLONMACNOISE, COUNTY OFFALY: ST. CIARAN

In neighboring County Ofaly, visitors can explore the magnii-cent remains of the 6th-century monastic site founded by Ciaran in Clonmacnoise. It includes the ruins of a cathedral, two round towers, three Celtic crosses and the largest collection of early Christian grave-stones in Western Europe.

Ciaran’s path to sainthood was launched as a young man, when he supposedly restored life to a dead horse — just one example of his way with animals.

After performing the usual

round of miracles, Ciaran decid-ed to build a monastery at Clon-macnoise, smitten, he said, by the beauty of the lush green plains and sweeping views of the river Shannon. First though, he had to settle a boundary dispute with a neighbor who ofered him land as far as he could throw his cap. After he uttered a prayer, a gust of wind swept Ciaran’s hat across the ields. To this day, a sudden squall in the midlands is some-times called “Ciaran’s wind.” The neighbor was eventually made a saint as well — St. Manchan.

ST. PATRICK AND MOREThere are hundreds of other

saints and saintly shrines. At Fenit harbor in County Kerry in southwest Ireland, a large bronze statue depicts St. Brendan, the 6th-century navigator who set of on an epic voyage across the Atlantic in a wooden boat covered with ox hides. Brendan is said to have land-ed in Newfoundland, and to this day his followers claim the saint was the irst to discover America.

Relics of saints also abound. The preserved head of St. Oli-ver Plunkett — who was hanged, drawn and quartered in Britain in 1681 for his Catholic faith — is housed in an elaborate shrine at St. Peter’s Church in Drogheda, a port town north of Dublin.

For centuries St. Laurence O’Toole’s 900-year-old heart was on display at Christ Church Cathe-dral in Dublin until, shockingly, it was stolen in 2012.

And, though he wasn’t Irish, St. Valentine’s 3rd-century remains also ended up in Dublin, preserved in an elaborate reliquary at the Car-melite church on Whitefriar Street.

Still, Patrick remains the star. This year Dublin will host a four-day extravaganza including beer fests, ceilis (Irish folk dancing), street performances and a lav-ish parade in honor of “La Fheile Padraig” (St. Patrick’s feast day). Downpatrick in Northern Ireland, where the saint is reputedly buried (and which has a huge visitor cen-ter dedicated to all things Patrick) is throwing a nine-day program of events. All this for a man who famously described himself as “a sinner, the most unlearned of men, the lowliest of all the faith-ful, utterly worthless in the eyes of many.”

saints with revelry and

respect

Memphis consistently ranks as one of the most charitable cities in Amer-ica. Southern hospitality, combined with faith-based family values, instills in us a sense of purpose and re-sponsibility to help others in need. Something that makes our city unique, though, is the level of ser-vant leadership with our corporations.

Some of the world’s largest companies, like FedEx, AutoZone, Inter-national Paper, and Ser-viceMaster Company are based here in our back-yard. Employees at all levels donate their time and resources to give

back. This affords an a m a z i n g o p p o r t u -nity to be a force for good both here in the Mid-South and around the world.

For example, Interna-tional Paper, who donated more than $3.5 million in the Memphis community last year, decided to part-ner with the World Food Program USA in 2004 to create Coins 4 Kids, a program which focuses on providing nutritious meals to children in pov-erty stricken areas near Nairobi, Kenya. Thanks to employee, company, and

community gifts, more than $8 million dollars has been raised to provide about 70,000 school-aged children with healthy meals annually.

Coins 4 Kids supporters collect bills and change in red collection cups, mod-eled after the red cups that the World Food Program fills with nutritious food for the children. When full, these cups — which can fit anywhere, like on your desk, in the kitchen, or in your car — hold enough money to feed two children for an entire school year.

Childhood!

By Frank StewartTribune Content Agency

A youngster approached a farmer about buying some of his tomatoes on the vine.

“How about if I give you a nickel apiece for a dozen of those big, ripe toma-toes?” the kid asked.

“I get a dime for those,” the farmer shrugged.

“Well, what about two cents each for a dozen of those little green ones?”

“It’s a deal.”“OK. I’ll be back in

about 10 days to pick them up.”

Defenders will often do well to let their trump holding ripen. In today’s deal, West led the jack of diamonds against South’s contract of four hearts, and South put up dummy’s ace and swiftly took the

A-K of clubs to discard his last diamond. South next led the ten of trumps from dummy, and East rose with his ace and returned a club. South rufed with the queen, and since West didn’t see how he could

get any better value for his king, he overrufed.

West next led a spade. East took the ace and led a fourth club, but South rufed with the jack. He drew West’s last trump with the nine and claimed the rest, making game.

West defeats the con-tract if he isn’t in such a hurry to spend his king of trumps. If he discards on the third club, his eight of trumps will have time to ripen. If South leads the jack of trumps next, West takes the king and leads a spade. East wins and leads a fourth club, and no mat-ter whether declarer rufs high or low, West’s eight of trumps wins the set-ting trick.

Be reluctant to overruf declarer or dummy with a high trump that is certain to win a trick anyway.

“How about if I give you a nickel apiece for a dozen of those big, ripe tomatoes?” the kid asked.



“It’s a deal.” “Okay. I’ll be back in about

10 days to pick them up.” Defenders will often do

well to let their trump holding ripen. In today’s deal, West led the jack of diamonds against South’s contract of four hearts, and South put up dummy’s ace and swiftly took the A-K of clubs to discard his last dia-mond. South next led the ten of trumps from dummy, and East rose with his ace and returned a club. South ru�ed with the queen, and since West didn’t see how he could get any bet-ter value for his king, he over-ru�ed.

West next led a spade. East took the ace and led a fourth club, but South ru�ed with the jack. He drew West’s last trump with the nine and claimed the rest, making game.

West defeats the contract if he isn’t in such a hurry to spend his king of trumps. If he discards on the third club, his eight of trumps will have time to ripen.

If South leads the jack of trumps next, West takes the king and leads a spade. East wins and leads a fourth club, and no matter whether de-clarer ru�s high or low, West’s eight of trumps wins the set-ting trick.

Be reluctant to overru� de-clarer or dummy with a high trump that is certain to win a trick anyway.

Dear Harriette: My friends stay at my apart-ment a couple of nights during the week. It’s a nice apartment and convenient to where they work, plus they live far away. They could at least help out with paying for the toilet paper or grocer-ies, but I don’t know how to get that point across, especially since they are on budgets. They see me as privileged and think I don’t need help financial-ly. What should I say?

— Feeling Unappreciated, New York City

Dear Feeling: There is a simple solution to your problem: You must es-tablish house rules with your friends. This starts with your acknowledging that you, too, have a bud-get. Honestly, everyone should, regardless of how much money you have.

Sit your friends down and tell them that now that you have established a pattern with them where they live at your apartment on a weekly basis, you want to review what is important to you

for them to do. Point out that now that you have more people in the house, provisions run out more quickly. Tell them that you would like for them to contribute to the week-ly budget for toiletries, including toilet paper, and food. You can come up with a weekly number that feels right, or ask them to purchase certain items on a regular basis so that they can be active participants in keeping the household going.

I doubt that they will mention your “privilege,” but if they do, point out to them that everyone has a budget, including you.

Establishing apartment rules should help budget

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH An important get-together or meeting will deine your mood, and plans, for the day. Unexpected developments might encourage you to be more spontaneous. You could have a lengthy conversation with a dear friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Know that all eyes are on you. As a result, people could get an indirect lesson in how to approach the boss. Stay centered when dealing with an associate or loved one who seems to be even colder than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Listen to news with an open mind. Seek out more information by inding people who are more knowledgeable or experienced. Make an ap-pointment for a checkup at the dentist.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Remain playful. A discussion with a partner will point to a dramatic shift in ac-tivity. You need variety in terms of focus and energy; otherwise,

you could become bored and moodier.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others will present un-usual ideas that could force you to think past typical boundar-ies. Your sixth sense will come out when dealing with today’s issues. How you see a friend or loved one could change as the result of these discussions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You have high energy working with your solid focus. Meetings will be important in paving your path to success. Someone will push you hard; this person feels as if his or her ideas are better. Avoid a ight or a diicult interaction, if possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22 HHHH You might want to understand what is happening around you, yet others may be evasive. Avoid getting angry with a loved one. Make a point to relax, and you will ind the an-swers you’re looking for. Curb a tendency to be possessive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Pressure seems to build around a family member or a domestic matter. Sup-pressing your irritation on a regular basis could backire, as

you are likely to make yourself sick or so angry that you won’t be able to speak in an efective manner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will be full of energy. A conversation could start up out of the blue, and you might hear a lot more than you are ready for. Think through a personal matter more deeply to understand what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Ask an important question regarding the results of a recent conversation. A part-ner or close friend will be full of facts and suggestions. Listen carefully to what he or she has to say.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You have a lot to do, but you also have the energy to meet your responsibilities. Be careful with machinery and electrical equipment, as you could be distracted by the many thoughts in your mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You’ll gain a new un-derstanding because of recent conversations. Still, you might want to keep this to yourself, as your thoughts will continue to evolve.

Dear Miss Manners: I feel intimidated and insulted (perhaps assaulted) by ev-eryone and their cameras.

Everywhere I go lately, everybody is taking pic-tures with their cameras and phones.

I am not crazy about having my picture taken to begin with. And now there is the concern about what they are going to do with it. I don’t want to end up on someone’s social media page.

How can I tell people po-litely that I feel like they are compromising my privacy and ruining a good time? I feel totally all right with the old practice of a picture or photo from time to time. It is just this barrage of “can-did” shots that makes me want to hide out!

Gentle Reader: Rea-sonable as your point is,

it is unlikely to be taken well and the image of you scowling disapprovingly as you lecture the photogra-pher will turn out to be just the candid snapshot the of-fender was hoping for.

Better to render the photograph itself uninter-esting. Miss Manners rec-ommends a bored smile accompanied by turning away to notice something of in the distance.

Dear Miss Manners: I was saddened to read a newspa-per article in which a preg-nant lady attempted to get a seat in the subway and failed a number of times.

This is certainly unfor-tunate, but I can’t help but think that there may be an additional explanation be-sides just lack of courtesy. After all, there’s a compet-ing social norm that pro-hibits one from inferring a stranger’s pregnancy. Imagine the embarrass-ment of attempting to give up one of the reserved seats

to a lady, only to have her tell you she’s not pregnant!

Could there be another solution? Perhaps if the pregnant ladies made some obvious gesture such as putting one hand mater-nally on their belly while trying to catch someone’s eye? I think that would make it much easier for the polite among us to give up our seats without fear.

Gentle Reader: As the lady in question may need both hands to hold on in a moving subway car, let us not add to her burden with unnecessary gesturing.

Stand and ask her if she would like your seat. If she does not want or need it, Miss Manners hopes she will politely decline. If she responds rudely (“What makes you think I need it?”) you need only reseat yourself and continue your journey.

Dear Annie: My son recently said something that embarrassed me and kept me awake most of the night.

My wife and I were at his home for dinner, along with my daughter and several others.

We were talking about TV, and my son men-tioned a show where a guy does all kinds of things to save money. He said to my daughter, “If you think your daddy is cheap, you should see this guy.” I said nothing at the time because I didn’t want to spoil the occasion. But evidently, he and my daughter both think I am cheap.

Annie, I put both of them through college, and so they don’t owe any money. I worked three jobs so my son could attend a prestigious university out East. They have never wanted for anything.

It’s been three months, and I’m still hurting from this comment. Any advice?

— Disappointed

Dad

Dear Dad: No one wants to be thought of as cheap, especially by his own children.

But we don’t think your son or daughter intended to be hurtful. What you consider sensibly frugal, they undoubtedly recall as you saying “no” to their innumerable requests for toys, gifts, vacations, etc., and how pleased you were when you saved a penny here and there. But please don’t let this fester, as it could damage your relationship with your children.

Talk to your son and tell him how much his comment hurt you. We hope he’ll be more aware of your feelings in the future.

Dear Annie: I read the responses to “I Need Nice Clothes, Too,” about the limited selection of large-size clothing in many stores.

My complaint is about petite sizes for mature women. There is no selec-tion for us at all. It feels as if we are being dis-criminated against simply because we are short.

We like to dress fash-ionably. We wear coats, pajamas, slacks and dress-es, but few stores carry petite sizes, and fewer still have clothing suitable for anyone over 12.

I’m sure it’s the same problem for tall women, too.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Michael Rosenberg owns a reputation as a superb declarer. At the ACBL Fall Championships in Phoenix, he was at the helm in today’s deal in a Board-a-Match event, where overtricks were vital.

Against four hearts West led the queen of diamonds. Rosenberg played low from dummy, ru�ed and led the king of clubs to West’s ace.

He won a spade shift with his ace, took the queen of clubs, ru�ed a club in dummy and led the king of diamonds: ace, ru�. That play transferred the defenders’ diamond guard to West, who was also likely to have spade length for his double.

FIFTH CLUB Declarer ru�ed another club and drew

trumps. When he cashed his good fifth club at the 11th trick, West had to reduce to one spade to keep the jack of dia-monds; dummy still had the ten. Rosen-berg discarded the diamond and won the last two tricks with the K-9 of spades, making six.

West might have found a trump lead.

Then South would have had to guess well for 11 tricks.

This week: Phoenix action.

The community is invited to join with others to observe the World Day of Prayer service at German-town Presbyterian Church at 10 a.m. March 7, in the historic Evans Chapel. The worship materials this year are written by the women in Egypt, and the theme is “Streams in the Desert,” based on the John 4 story of Jesus and the Woman at the well, and the verses in Isaiah 35:5-7.

World Day of Prayer is a world-wide movement of Christian wom-en in more than 170 countries and regions who come together yearly, and who, in many countries, have

a continuing relationship in prayer and service. This movement is sym-bolized by an annual day of celebra-tion and it aims to bring together in-dividuals of various races, cultures and traditions in closer fellowship, understanding, and action through-out the year.

Through World Day of Prayer, women airm that prayer and ac-tion are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world. The motto of the World Day of Prayer is “Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action.” World Day of Prayer USA promotes justice and equality for women through prayer, partnerships, service, and celebra-tion. For more information visit the

World Day of Prayer USA website at wdp-usa.org.
