Love was in the air as the annual Ger-mantown Adult Valentine’s party

was held at the Pickering Center last Friday.

The minute guests entered the doors they knew this was a party for the Baby Boomers. The music brought back a lot of memories to those who attended.

As music from Teresa Brewer, Bobby Darin, Little Richard and Elvis illed the Pickering Center, the dance loor was a busy place.

The music was provided by Alex Ward, who has been on Memphis’ airwaves since 1967.

Collierville oicials said last Thursday they are projecting a 22 percent property tax increase to cover costs for building a $90 million high school.

Finance director Jane Bevill told the Board of Mayor and Al-

dermen and the school board the increase would be 34 cents, raising the property tax rate to $1.87 per $100 of assessed value to pay for a 30-year, $98.5 million municipal bond.

For a $200,000 home, the yearly property tax would in-crease by $175, to $940. The 34-cent increase would be short of the 37-38 cent cap that would require a referendum by voters for the increase to go into efect.

The Board of Mayor and Al-dermen, which would have to ap-prove the increase, was briefed

for the irst time on the plans and costs during the two-hour work session at the University of Memphis Collierville campus.

In addition to the $90 mil-lion for the high school, the bond would include $8 million for the town’s capital improve-ment needs over the next sev-eral years. Town Administrator James Lewellen said the capital improvement igure was “arbi-trary” and could be much lower.

Bevill said the debt service on the bond would be about $5 mil-lion annually and would not hurt

the town’s triple-A bond rating.The school board, projecting

student enrollment to increase, determined Jan. 27 that it wasn’t feasible to expand the high school and approved moving forward on a new school cover-ing 90-100 acres with a goal of opening for the 2017-18 school year. The high school, which is expected to become a middle school to help ease crowding, has 2,160 students this year and is projected to increase to 2,300 next year and up to 3,000 in sev-en or eight years.

Aitken said four to ive sites are being considered and ne-gotiations are under way with landowners but he declined to reveal locations. He said there are 10 to 12 factors in evaluating a site, including accessibility, in-frastructure and where it would be located in relation to the cen-ter of town.

Alderman Billy Patton said the board needs to discuss whether there should be a referendum, but predicted it would pass over-whelmingly with 70-80 percent approval.

Judge set $3M bond for Mark Giannini

On Feb. 13 a judge set a $3 million bond for Mem-phis businessman and for-mer civic leader Mark Gi-annini, who is charged in the rapes of three women over the past 13 years.

Criminal Court Judge John Campbell settled on a $3 million “insurance policy” to assure the owner of a suc-cessful information-technol-ogy business does not use his considerable resources.

Asst. Dist. Atty. Jessica Banti had requested that bond be denied, but when pressed by Campbell, sought $5 million.

Defense attorney Steve Farese told Campbell he first intended to seek a $100,000 bond, but added, “If the prosecution’s posi-tion is that no amount of bond will assure his pres-ence, I’d ask for one dollar.”

With streets treacherous and temperatures falling, Greater Memphis hunkered down for an extended bout of winter weather Monday after the season’s irst storm served up something of an ice sandwich — a crunchy layer of sleet tucked between two coats of freezing rain.

In all, about an inch of win-try precipitation fell during the Presidents Day storm, producing a combination federal holiday and snow day in which schools and of-ices shut down and so many busi-nesses closed early that it became tough to buy a burger, a beer or even a cup of cofee.

Slick and slushy roads contrib-uted to scores of traic accidents across the region, including at least 73 in Memphis between midnight and 4:30 p.m. At least one weather-related fatality — a 60-year-old man who died in a one-car crash in Olive Branch — was reported.

Memphis International Airport remained open, although at least 100 lights were canceled and 19 others delayed by late afternoon.

FedEx, meantime, braced for pos-sible disruptions from icy roads.

But coming as it did almost ex-actly 21 years after the crippling 1994 ice storm, the wintry pre-cipitation brought no widespread power outages. Throughout the day, Memphis Light, Gas and Wa-ter Division crews usually were dealing with no more than a dozen or so outages at any given time.

Authorities credited early fore-casts from the National Weather Service and cooperation among municipal and county oicials with reducing problems from the icy precipitation. “Because we got ahead of it ... I think we made out much better this time,” said Levell Blanchard, deputy administrator for the Shelby County Oice of Preparedness.

After the storm passed around midday, however, attention turned to an ominous forecast for the days ahead. After a night of windchill factors expected to be in the single digits, the high temperature Tuesday reached only about freezing before even colder weather was expected.

Thursday night will bring a chance of snow, and temperatures won’t rise signiicantly above freezing until Saturday.

With roads likely to remain icy, crews for Memphis and Shelby County prepared to re-sume spreading salt mixtures on bridges, overpasses, inclines and major intersections.

Those eforts notwithstanding,

Shelby County Schools and dis-tricts serving Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lake-land, Millington and DeSoto County all canceled classes again Tuesday and Wednesday. City government oices in Memphis also were also closed Tuesday.

The icy mixture that began falling shortly after midnight Monday resulted from layers of cold air sandwiched around a mantle of warm air about 5,000 feet aloft, said weather service meteorologist John Moore III. Snow fell from the upper atmo-sphere, then melted halfway down before refreezing as sleet.

Because much of the precipi-tation was sleet and not freezing rain, “there’s not enough ice ac-cumulation to knock the power lines down,” said Tamara Nolen, supervisor of communications and public relations for MLGW.

Although some schools already were slated to be closed for Presi-dents Day or in-service training, the storm prompted virtually all other schools, including the Uni-versity of Memphis, to cancel classes through Wednesday.

Many businesses followed suit. For instance, Huey’s restaurants, which touts its “Blues, Brews and Burgers” had its “irst full snow day” in the company’s 45-year his-tory, said Ashley Ranson, general manager of the Midtown location.

Staf reporters Clay Bailey and Wayne Risher

WINTER WEATHER

Sean Strahn (from left), Kelton Taylor and Tommy Reed help a motorist whose car was stuck in the slushy road conditions Monday morning. Despite numerous wrecks and scattered power outages, the ice storm was considerably less severe than it might have been if conditions had varied a bit.

No repeat of ’94 Area braces for cold after mixture of ice and snow

was traveling at a high rate of speed and went of the road, strik-ing a tree.

“The car basically imploded,” Kelly said. “It was a very violent (crash).”

Teammates, students and coaches — including University of Memphis baseball coach Da-ron Schoenrock — gathered at CBHS Sunday upon hearing the news.

Kilgore “was a fun-loving kid,” said Kelly. “He was one of the leaders of the student section at our basketball games ... a practi-cal joker. But he was a ierce com-petitor on the baseball ield.”

A former position player who had only recently concentrated solely on pitching, Kilgore went 3-1 with ive saves for the Broth-ers in 2014. His older brother Riley, who also starred at CBHS, currently is a catcher at Christian Brothers University.

Kilgore “was a great team-mate,” said CBHS coach Buster Kelso. “He was just a bulldog; no-body was going to beat him. We told stories about him and they

all centered around what a good friend he was to everybody.”

Brothers lacrosse coach Colin Welsh said Kesterson was a val-ued member of the team who had worked hard to realize more play-ing time as his career progressed. The coach added Kesterson was also gifted academically and had plans to possibly attend the Uni-versity of Georgia.

“He had the second-highest GPA on our team,” Welsh said. “A great kid, extremely well-liked. He had been with the program since he was a freshman and had been on the varsity since he was a sophomore and had started to see more (playing) time toward the end of last year.

“He was one of those guys where when things got serious, he would lighten the mood.”

Chris Fay, Christian Brothers principal, asked that the com-munity keep the school in its thoughts “as we mourn the loss of two of our boys.”

“Colin and Christophe were both well-liked, good students, and competitors on the ield. Their classmates, teammates and our entire student body is pray-ing for the Kilgore and Kesterson families at this time.”

CRASH from 1

result of our generation wanting to move beyond the big band era. We listened to music diferently than any generation ever did — not just on records but on the radio. The radio stations we loved played our music and they played it over and over. We heard our music in our rooms and in our cars.”

Thanks to dedicated volunteers and the Germantown Parks Depart-ment’s staf, the entire space was brightly decorated with traditional red, white and pink you normally associate with Valentine’s Day.

While many of those attending

the annual Valentine’s Dance had done so several times, others like Tim and Donna Furr of Collier-ville were enjoying their irst visit.

“We love this music,” Donna Furr said. “We have taken trips down to the Gulf Coast and have gone on cruises so we could listen and dance to oldies. We were re-ally excited when we heard about this dance.”

The adult Valentine’s party has been a mainstay of the Ger-mantown Parks and Recreation event calendar for many years. In addition to dancing, guests were provided with food and drinks as the Valentine’s Day sweethearts mingled with other couples be-tween dances.

Schools

NEELY NEWELLThird grade, Bailey Station Elementary

Q What do you like most about your school?

A Everything. I am a irst-year teacher and the administra-

tion, the staf and my co-workers at Bailey Station have welcomed me with open arms since my irst day. They feel like family to me.

Q What was your favorite subject as a kid and why?

A My favorite subject as a kid was math. There is a certain sense

of satisfaction when you are inally able to conquer a diicult problem. Plus, my elementary teachers made math fun.

Q What was the most challeng-ing subject for you as a kid and

why?

A Reading was a struggle for me. I always had trouble compre-

hending and analyzing what I read.

Q What is the greatest challenge you face as an educator?

A A great challenge that all edu-cators face today is the wide

range of learning abilities and learn-ing styles we encounter within our classrooms. Finding ways to reach all students can be challenging.

Q What do you hope to accomplish as an educator?

A I hope to make a diference in each of my students’ lives —

not just in their education. I hope to show each of them that they can make a diference, that they are im-portant, they are loved, and they matter. I hope that each student leaves my classroom knowing just how special they are and how much potential they hold.

Q What is the most rewarding mo-ment you’ve had as a teacher?

A I love it when a student’s “light” comes on and they begin under-

standing material. But I think the most rewarding moments I have experienced so far are when my stu-dents really show love for one anoth-er. If they don’t learn one academic thing in my classroom, I hope they learn to show love to others. I know that a teacher is supposed to change a student’s life, but my students do things every day that change mine.

Q Who is your teaching inspiration and why?

A My teaching inspirations are my mom, Debbie Newell, who

is also a teacher, and my student teaching mentor, Torie Randall. They both provide encourage-ment and have taught me that we are not deined by what we do, but how well we love the students who walk through our door.

Q Who is the person you most ad-mire?

A My mom and dad are the peo-ple I most admire and respect.

They are my mentors, my teachers, my biggest fans and the two most genuine people in the world. They constantly push me to accomplish my dreams and consistently point me to the truth. They are my roots and even though you can’t choose your parents, it sure feels like I did.

Q When did you know you wanted to be an educator?

A I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I can remember.

When I was little, I would come straight home from school, line up my two little brothers and make them be my students. I took “play-ing school” very seriously as a child. I had a grade book, a pointer, dry erase board and my dad even brought me home an overhead pro-jector one day. I had a full class-room set up in my playroom.

Two teams of high school students from Houston

High recently con-cluded an exceptional round of competition in the seventh season of CyberPatriot, the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.

Established by the Air Force Association, the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Educa-tion Program was created to excite, educate and motivate students toward careers in cyber security and other sci-ence, technology, engineering

and mathematics disciplines critical to our nation’s future.

CyberPatriot’s core pro-gram, the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, challenges teams of two to six students across the United States, Canada and from De-partment of Desfense Depen-dents schools abroad, to ind and resolve cyber security vulnerabilities in simulated environments.

Top teams from prelimi-nary online rounds win an all-expenses-paid trip to Wash-

ington, D.C. for the National Finals Competition, where students compete for national recognition and scholarships.

In all, 2,175 teams regis-tered to compete in CyberPa-triot VII, including 52 teams from Tennessee.

Led by coach Leslie Brom-mer, two teams from Houston excelled in the CyberPatriot VII qualifying rounds, dem-onstrating teamwork, critical thinking skills and technical knowledge key to a successful career in cyber security.

The teams’ performances earned them a spot in the Re-gional Round — during which one Houston team outscored other teams to win the open division’s southeast region second-place gold tier award — while the other team came in ifth.

“I am so proud of these young men,” said Brommer. “They have worked extreme-ly hard and learned so much in a very short time. They have spent many hours after school meeting and preparing for these competitions. I pre-dicted that they will go far in the competition over the next couple of years, hopefully all the way to the national com-petition in Washington, D.C.”

Mason Grace is the curriculum tech-

nology coordinator with GMSD.

The West Tennessee School Band and Orchestra Associa-tion held tryouts in January and 96 members of the Houston High band were named to the All-West Tennessee band, jazz band or orchestra.

For All-State ensemble, 28 members were selected. These results represent the largest number of auditioned partici-pants selected from any high school in Tennessee.

The All-West Tennessee Band and Orchestra Clinic will be held Thursday through Sat-urday at the Cannon Center in downtown Memphis. The site

also hosts the Tennessee Mu-sic Educator’s All-State Clinic, which will be April 8-11.

Performing on the Cannon Center stage will be familiar to many of these Houston play-

ers at All-West. Houston’s wind ensemble,

made up of many of these All-West participants, served as the feature concert band in the April 2014 TME inal concert.

The Houston band is under the direction of Jim Smith and Matt Taylor.

When asked about the large number of students selected to participate, Smith commented, “We are extremely lucky to teach so many kids with the work ethic and support from home that is necessary to achieve at a high level. We have fun here at Houston, and I think that is a big motivator in how hard they work.”

The band is sponsored by the Houston High School Band Boosters, led by Brian and Deana Spangler.

Monty Crosby is a parent with the Hous-

ton High band.

Temperatures were cold and waters were frigid, but that wasn’t enough to stop nearly 30 St. George’s middle school students and faculty from par-ticipating in a time-honored Polar Plunge.

Now in its 13th year, the an-

nual Polar Plunge and chili cook-of brings students, faculty and families together to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The week prior to the jump, students dropped coins and dol-lar bills into buckets to deter-mine which had to take the irst leap of the dock.

History teacher Chris Miller

won the contest and accepted the challenge. Despite the icy lake and the “frozen” look on Miller’s face, students quickly

lined up to follow.

Lainie Crose is assistant director of market-

ing and communications for St. George’s.

About a hundred people came to Houston High School last Wednesday night to hear Germantown Municipal School Board members discuss what they would do about start times for next year, but after ive hours of budget discussions, the people in the audience didn’t get much clarity on the issue.

The board was schedule to meet again on Wednesday to re-view changes to the budget and

narrow the possible times school could start. A vote is set for Feb. 23 on the inal budget, including the transportation portion af-fected by start times.

The board went through the budget line by line last Wednes-day. Much of the crowd left before the topic of start times came up just before 10 p.m., with the ex-ception of a brief argument at the beginning of the meeting between Board Chairwoman Lisa Parker and board member Ken Hoover.

Parker said she was angry at Hoover for requesting an opinion from the state attorney general without consulting the board irst. The opinion was on whether the district could charge families for transportation fees.

Hoover said he felt he was under attack, and Parker re-sponded, “You are.” She added that the board members need to work together or they could open themselves up to litigation.

Parker’s contention, howev-er, was over Hoover’s failure to consult the board and not spe-ciic to the issue of charging for transportation. Other board members agreed it was some-thing to discuss.

Members of the school com-munity have pushed hard for later start times, doing away with the 7 a.m. start time at Houston Middle and Houston High School. The board pledged before the current school year to look at doing away with the 7

a.m. start, but wasn’t able to get it done before the school year started, and promised to attack the issue again for the 2015-16 school year.

Supt. Jason Manuel said he drafted the budget assuming the biggest impact of the start time change, which would be about $400,000. If the board makes no changes to start times, the cost for transportation next year, not including fuel, is about $823,000.

Manuel said the district, which plans to start its own al-ternative school next year on the high school campus, would ofer seats at that school to students from Collierville. That would of-set a penalty Germantown would have to pay to Collierville if they

changed the start times because the two districts share buses in their contract with Durham School Services.

Hoover said the issue of start times is his top priority.

“I do believe that we’ll see a meaningful, incremental gain in student achievement by making this investment,” he said.

Board members also ex-pressed a desire to request from the city the rest of the sales tax money on top of what the city owes the district. Board member Natalie Williams said because the sales tax was billed as being for the schools, they “need to ask for that money.”

Manuel agreed the money would be put to use.

Board delays school start times decision

By Beth RooksSpecial to The Weekly

Briarcrest Christian School recently opened a new recording studio at its Houston Levee cam-pus.

With a large ensemble space, two isolation booths and a mixing station, this digital, state-of-the-art ProTools studio will be open to Briarcrest stu-dents in a variety of ways. Musicians will be able to professionally record their own songs.

Technical production students will have hands-on experience as sound engineers.

“This is going to be a very exciting new addi-tion to our program and will give our students a music educational experi-ence that is unmatched at the high school level,” says Michael Parsons, director of instrumental music.

The school’s award-winning commercial mu-sic ensemble, SoundScape, will also be able to record their CDs at school.

With the inclusion of this recording studio, Bri-arcrest’s ine arts depart-ment continues to shine as one of the top private school programs in the country.

“I am thrilled that we are building this recording studio,” explained Briar-crest director of ine arts, J.D. Frizzell. “It won’t just be our students beneiting greatly from it. The school

and community as a whole will be able to experience the fruits of our student’s labor as they hear out-standing new music.”

“With this addition the students will be able to create their music while training on industry stan-dard software and hard-ware. This opportunity alone will allow them to develop skills well above their peers before entering college,” said Ryan Stone, technical director.

Beth Rooks is the director of com-

munications for Briarcrest.

The state wrestling tournament didn’t pro-duce any champions for Christian Brothers. But it was still a pretty satisfying end to the year.

The Brothers led the area contingent with two runner-up inishes as the Division 2 competition wrapped up in Franklin last Saturday.

Dallas Broughton, the team’s top performer, lost to Cayman Seagraves of Chattanooga Baylor in the 170-pound inal. The senior ends the year with a 45-2 record.

“He was down (3-2) with 20 seconds left, and he went for it and got put on his own back, which made the score a little deceptive,” said Brothers coach Chris Lewis. “But he’s been an incredible leader; he’s been a warrior all year.”

Sophomore Trevor Brown fell to Eli King of Father Ryan, 13-2 in the 132-pound title match.

“Trevor is young and talented, and he’s starting to come into his own,” said Lewis. “The last month or so he’s wrestled really well, starting to figure things out. He’s got an op-portunity to be one of the best we’ve ever had.”

Drew Ruffin of St. George’s was the only oth-er area wrestler going for a title, and he also inished in second place, losing 12-3 to Cole Euverard of Mont-gomery Bell Academy.

CBHS had six other wres-tlers on the medal stand, led by Grayson Walthall’s third-place inish at 195. The Brothers got fourths from Tanner Tidswell (126), Bryce Wittman (138) and Tommy Brackett (145). Bryan Garrett took ifth at 120 and Chad Cabonero ended sixth at 106.

St. Benedict and MUS each had three wrestlers place. Jeremy Stewart got third for the Eagles at 160, while Trace Jenkins was

fourth at 113 and Nesto Ri-vas ifth at 220. Mitchell Clark’s fourth-place in-ish at 285 led the Owls, fol-lowed by John Gray (ifth, 195) and Connor Stewart (sixth, 138).

Briarcrest had fourth-place inishes from Gage Martin (152) and Nick Pope (182), while Griin Brown of St. George’s took sixth at 160.

In AAA, Nathan Enzor of Arlington made a little history by becoming the first wrestler from the school to place at state. The senior dropped a 7-4 decision to Joseph Begley of Kingsport Dobyns-Ben-nett to inish sixth in the 160-pound class.

Jasmine Bailey of Kingsbury won the girls 155-pound class to become the school’s irst medalist.

STATE SWIMMINGKatie Kelsoe went out

Education Association se-nior, who will compete at Alabama next year, Kelsoe successfully defended her title in the 100 backstroke at the state meet in Knox-ville.

St. Mary’s also got strong showings from Kiara Norris and Alli McQueen, who inished fourth and ifth in the 100 butterly, and the 200 med-ley relay team, which was second in 1:45.36.

Alyssa Hale of Hard-ing took third in the 100 breaststroke, and Emma Grace Pecha of St. Agnes came in fourth in the 200 free. Collierville’s 200 re-lay team took third.

In the boys competition, Henry Keel of MUS was fourth in the 50 free (20.93), then swam a leg on the Owls’ 200 relay team that inished second in a school-record 1:24.48. Christian Berry also swam a leg and took fourth in the 100 free as the Owls inished with 201 points, second behind Chattanooga Baylor.

Another Owl, Alex Rob-

inson, was fourth in the 100 backstroke. Collier-ville’s Joshua Walsh came in fourth in the 200 free, and the MHEA 200 med-ley relay team took second.

Close games? White-hot atmospheres? The Christian Brothers bas-ketball team has been there and done that.

And last Friday night, they did it again.

Frederick Douglas scored 16 points as the Brothers completed an undefeated regular season with a 53-50 victory over host Briarcrest. CBHS, now 27-0 and ranked irst in the state in Division 2, will open the postseason at home against an oppo-nent to be determined.

“Center Hill was a great atmosphere, St. George’s was a great atmosphere but we’ve been in a lot of big games,” said Douglas. “We just had to keep push-ing, play defense and lis-ten to our leaders.”

Added Shun Alexan-der, who battled the taller Saints front line to score 11 points, “People told us that this would be our irst loss. There was a lot of talk, a lot of hype about this game but we just ignored that.”

Five of CBHS’ last six vic-tories have been ive points or less, dating back to their 46-43 win over Briarcrest on Jan. 23. And last Friday was more of the same.

After trailing much of the second quarter, Briar-crest (24-8) battled back behind Micah Thomas (18 points) and Will Hr-ubes (17), who combined to score all but ive of Bri-arcrest’s 26 points after intermission.

Undra Wilson hit two late free throws to give CBHS a 53-50 lead, set-ting up Briarcrest’s inal possession to tie. Hrubes missed a three and after Douglas missed the front end of a one-and-one with 3.2 seconds left, they had one inal, slim chance. But a 40-foot heave from Mark French bounced of the iron.

REV. REBECCA LUTERPastor of Farmington Presbyterian Church

Family: Husband, Chris, is chair of the fine arts department and director of theater at Cor-dova High School, son Nicholas, 10, daughter, Elizabeth, 7. Both attend Germantown Elementary School in the optional program.

How long have you been at your church and what do you like most about your church: Ten months. I like the sense of joyful commu-nity and family present in the congregation.

What makes Sunday special: Worship. Our deepest longing is to know who we are and who we are called to be. In worship, we acknowledge that we belong to God and seek God’s purposes for our life.

What led you to ministry work:

I earned a degree in biol-ogy from Rhodes College. I have always had a desire to bring healing to people in pain. God’s call was for me to bring God’s healing to people’s spirits rather than bodies.

When did you receive your calling: I was in Eng-land working in a summer internship between my junior and senior years in college when I accepted my calling. Since church summer camp between seventh and eighth grades, I experienced a whisper in my thoughts every time someone asked my aspirations in life that said, “You could be a minister.”

What do you enjoy most about ministry work: I am humbled and honored to be a part of some of the most meaningful moments of people’s lives. Being present

with people in moments of great joy and deep sor-row and being a conduit for God’s love and peace is a privilege and joy.

Favorite Bible verse: Philippians 4:5 has always been my favorite. How-ever, while I was battling cancer, Psalm 121 was a tremendous blessing.

Favorite mission trip: Always the next one. I am going to the Yucatan this summer with a team from the church. This will be the third year for Farming-ton Presbyterian Church to build cisterns for families to provide them with clean water.

Favorite hymn: “Immortal” and “Invisible God Only Wise”

Outside of church, what are your hobbies: Reading, travel-ing, swimming and spending time with family.

Good Health Memphis For more health stories, tips and recipes from The Commercial Appeal’s Good Health magazine, visit facebook.com/goodhealthmemphis

You are in a lifelong relationship — one you were born into and can’t live without. In a day and age when people are constantly getting mar-ried or divorced, hired or ired and approved or denied, what relation-ship am I describing?

I’m describing your relationship with food.

Perhaps you feel as though you are in an on-again, of-again rela-tionship that could be summed up as “complicated.” Since breaking up is not an option, here are ive warn-ing signs of an unhealthy relation-ship with food. By working through these issues, this relationship can gradually be rebuilt and restored to one of peace and health.

NO. 1: YOU ARE DATING DIETS. Diets tend to sweep people of

their feet with promises of quick weight loss, but when the love af-fair is over, individuals are often left with weight gain, obsession with food, increased risk of binge eating and eating disorders. Dump the diet and focus on whole foods in order to restore your relationship with food.

NO. 2: YOU’VE STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH AND TRUSTING YOUR BODY ABOUT FOOD.

You are born with hunger and sat-isfaction signals, the main the tools your body needs for communication about food. Due to society’s count-less diet-related messages and other external rules for eating, people

sometimes lose trust in their body’s ability to regulate their intake and weight using these natural signals. A healthy relationship with food means trusting your body to pro-vide hunger and satisfaction cues. This concept is simple, but it is not always easy to put into practice.

NO. 3: PERFECTION IS EXPECTED.Do you beat yourself up about

“imperfections” in your eating habits or appearance? Would your friends stick around if you talked to them the same way you talk to yourself? There is no such thing as a perfect diet or the perfect body. Your body does not require an ex-act number of calories or precisely portioned meals. It is normal to eat more than your body needs some-times and less than it needs at oth-ers. Most of the time our bodies are forgiving if treated with respect. Perfection is not realistic and should not be required in any relationship, and food is no exception.

NO. 4: YOU DEPEND ON FOOD TO SATISFY YOUR EMOTIONAL NEEDS.

Do you rely on food in times of boredom, sadness, loneliness, stress or anger? It is normal to experience a wide range of emotions, but food can only satisfy hunger — a physical need. Emotions come and go, but if you do not feel equipped to handle them, try thinking of nonfood “exit strategies” such as talking to a friend, taking a walk or breathing deeply.

NO. 5: WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD, YOU’VE LOST YOUR IDENTITY.

Are you able to enjoy your fa-vorite foods, or are you obsessing over the numbers (on the nutrition label or the scale)? Have you started eating more or less than your body needs to function at its best? Inhealthy relationships, people main-tain their individual identities. They feel okay to be separated for a while,but they are not apart for too long. The same concept applies to food. Maintaining your identity with food means being the healthiest version of yourself without changing who you really are. It means enjoying delicious foods in the amount your body needs — not anyone else’s.

Though you may identify with several of these warning signs, remember this: food is not the en-emy. Your relationship with food is important and life-sustaining, and you do not have to give up foods you enjoy in order to live a healthy lifestyle.

Blair Mize is a registered dietitian with Schilling

Nutrition Therapy.

Are you in a dysfunctional relationship with food?

Bear in mind that food is not your enemy. This is a relationship for life so nurture it. And somewhere along the way you might learn to enjoy it.

Mishala BryantSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

Living with an ill-ness can be fright-ening.

But Anita Wil-liams and Sophia Bou-langer — friends, co-workers and heart disease survivors — were deter-mined to not let heart dis-ease take over their lives.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, caus-ing one in three deaths each year.

Williams was 31 and had just given birth to her second son a few months prior when she irst experienced symptoms of what she thought was the lu.

“I was feeling very lightheaded,” she said. “I sat down in the living room, and my left arm began to tingle and ache all the way down to my hand.”

Williams realized she was ex-periencing symptoms of heart disease, which had claimed her father’s life at age 51.

She had her husband rush her to the emergency room, where

her blood pressure readings were at stroke levels. The emergency room physician assumed she had abused drugs and asked her out-right if she had used cocaine.

Williams, who had never used drugs of any kind, was shocked by the question and answered no. A cardiologist came in and demand-ed further testing be done.

That evening, she had her irst heart procedure: a stent in her right coronary artery, which had a 90 percent blockage. Since then, she has undergone triple bypass surgery and another stent proce-dure.

Her own experience with heart disease has led Williams, who is now 51, to be mindful of others. One evening in 2010, as she was leaving work at the Hilton Hotel in East Memphis with Boulanger, she noticed something was not right with her friend and colleague.

Boulanger stopped to catch her breath. Williams was aware that her friend had recently had heart surgery and suggested she call their mutual cardiologist, Dr. Stacy Smith, irst thing in the morning.

Boulanger heeded her friend’s advice, which potentially saved her life.

“Two days later, they found ive blockages that were 80 percent

blocked,” Boulanger said. “I un-derwent bypass surgery and was in the hospital for 12 days.”

Making the necessary dietary changes has been difficult for Boulanger, who is a self-professed lover of sweets and food from her Filipino heritage. Changing to a heart-healthy diet was a “rude awakening,” said Boulanger, who also sufers from diabetes.

Williams’ presence in Bou-langer’s life, however, has had a positive impact.

“She’s deinitely a lot healthier than I am and I try to emulate some of her healthier habits,” Boulanger said. “It’s been good to talk to another heart survivor who understands what you’ve been through and constantly go-ing through. She keeps me going and always encourages me espe-cially when I’ve made the ‘right and healthier’ choices.”

Being co-workers is a blessing in disguise for both ladies. By watching out for one another, as well as keeping one another on track with their diets, they have both found strength to beat heart disease.

Lynnetta Phillips sang the national anthem at the St. Valen-tine’s Day event at Bartlett Baptist Church.

By Kim OdomSpecial to The Weekly

As Lynnetta Phillips prepared to sing the national anthem at the annual St. Valentine’s Day 10K and 5K Run, Shan

Criswell prepared to announce the 18th annual event.

It was the last time for Criswell, founder of the event, to announce the race as she steps in to her new posi-tion as assistant director of Bartlett Parks and Recreation.

She passes the reins to Tawny Walker, who currently is training for a new position of her own — facil-ity manager at Singleton Community Center.

As Criswell reminisces about the irst St. Valen-tine’s Day race 18 years ago, she smiles — pleased with the growth and popularity of the event.

“Thanks to Rob Hunter and Lane Purser with the Memphis Runners Track Club,” Criswell ex-plained, “They are responsible for having this race certiied. They’ve put a lot of efort and time into this annual event.”

Hunter is assistant race director and past presi-dent of the MRTC. Purser is known as the voice of the MRTC — kicking of races at the starting line of nearly every event oiciated by the MRTC, including the St. Valentine’s race.

For some participants the race is all about ro-mantic gestures as couples paired up to run the Sweetheart Division in the 10K event. It’s their way of celebrating Valentine’s Day.

Eric and Crista Bowman ran in the Sweetheart and individual divisions. Among fans waiting for them at the inish was their six-month-old daugh-ter, Elliana Bowman, who was all smiles as the sweethearts crossed the line hand-in-hand with a time of 44:14. The time earned Crista the over-all winning spot in the women’s category. It was Eric’s irst time to compete in the event.

“There are many repeat runners who come out and enjoy this event each year,” Criswell said. “The 5K is lat and good for everybody. The 10K is a little more challenging for the more serious runners.”

David Sims of Collierville was among nearly 650 registered participants of the St. Valentine’s Day 10K and 5K event. It was his irst time partici-pating in the annual race hosted at Bartlett Baptist Church. He runs three times a week to prepare for races like last Saturday’s 10K. He admits he’s not that competitive and participates for the fun of it.

“I come out for the exercise. It’s not a race for me,” said Sims. “It is a nice leisurely pace. It’s just fun to get out in the community. You meet some interesting people.”

As Criswell relects on past races, it brings a smile to her face. Last Saturday’s race featured cool temperatures and sunshine. “Today it feels great. In the past, we have been out here in the ice, snow, rain, you name it,” Criswell said. “Today we have a beautiful day. And it wouldn’t be a success without the MRTC, the BPD, various sponsors and the many volunteers who show up every year to help out.”

Erectile Dysfunction

Ofice visit AND ALL Testing only $199

ASK DR. JOHNSON:Does AnythingActually Work?

The Answeris YES!Anyone who knowsme will tell youI am a straight upguy. I’ve held off oncommenting on theerectile dysfunction(ED) controversy untilI was able to really domy homework. Wellthe results are in.

Erectile dysfunctionis a fact of life.Whether it occursdue to an accident, arecent surgery(prostate cancer is abiggie), diabetes, orsimply due to aging,the accompanyingloss of self esteemis something thateffects millionsof men every day.And in a nutshell,that seems to bethe problem - everyman’s ED problem isdifferent and requiresdifferent treatment.

What color is yourfavorite pill?Drug companies havejumped all over thislike a --- well a drugcompany. I don’t haveto say the names--- we’ve all seen theads --- but they’vespent millions tryingto convince you allthat one pill ixes all--- when in actualitythey fail over 50% ofthe time. And that’sjust a fact.

Somebody whospecializes in men’ssexual health.After extensiveresearch, the onlyapproach that makessense comes fromcompanies called theMen’s Clinic that havebeen opening acrossthe country. There’sone here in Memphis.The Memphis Men’sClinic specializes inED and that’s all theydo. Their doctorsseem to be the onlyones who realizethat ED effects everyman differently.They have uniquelycombined threemedically approvedingredients for EDinto 70 differentformulations --- oneof which will make“it” start happeningimmediately --- and Imean immediately forover 92% of all menexperiencing ED. Infact, if “it” doesn’t starthappening on the irstvisit, you don’t pay asingle penny.

Why didn’t mydoctor tell me?Don’t expect much helpfrom your family doctor.How you perform in thebedroom is not reallyhis concern and he willprobably just prescribesome “pills”.

Regardless of yourage -Regardless of yourmedical history oryour age --- they havesatisied patientsranging from 23 to 91--- if you suffer fromED you should call the---Memphis Men’s Clinicat ------901-443-0485today to schedule anappointment and regainyour sexual health.

Dr. Johnson is aboard-certiiedphysician specializingin men’s health atthe Memphis Men’sClinic.

Special to The Weekly

Roger Li, a student at Collierville High School, and Xiaohan Zhan, a stu-dent at White Station High School, have been selected for the 2015 High School Honors Performance Se-ries at Carnegie Hall.

They will perform on the flute at Carnegie Hall Sunday with the Honors Band. Participation in one of the three Honors En-sembles is limited to the highest rated high school performers from across North America and select-ed international schools.

Li, a senior, and Zhan, a sophomore, auditioned last fall for the Honors Performance Series and were accepted after a re-view by the Honors Selec-tion Board. Acceptance to the elite group is a direct result of the talent, dedi-cation and achievements

demonstrated in their ap-plications and audition recordings. They will join other performers from across the nation, several provinces in Canada, and several foreign countries for a special performance at Carnegie Hall.

According to Morgan Smith, program director at WorldStrides, “Being selected to the Honors Per-formance Series is some-thing each finalist should be extremely proud of ac-complishing. We process more than 10,000 nomi-nations annually, select-ing only the most talented performers applying on an international level. Work-ing with these conductors and performing at Carn-egie Hall is an once-in-a-lifetime experience that these student musicians never forget.”

Li has studied flute with Myung Kim for four

years and is a member of the Germantown Youth Symphony Orchestra. He also participated in the All-West Junior Band from 2011 to 2012. He was the Honor-Of-Mention won the MTSU Flute Festival senior solo competition.

Zhan also has studied flute with Kim for four years and is a member of the Memphis Youth Sym-phony Orchestra. She also participated in the All-West Junior Band from

2012 to 2014. In response to her selection as a Finalist, Zhan said, “I am really ex-cited to be able to perform under such accomplished conductors, and I hope to make new friends and learn as much as possible from this experience.”

ACHIEVEMENT

Area students honored, to play at Carnegie Hall

By Sarah AcufSpecial to The Weekly

Seven St. George’s In-dependent School artists were chosen to display work at the Germantown Performing Arts Center and the Jewish Commu-nity Center in celebration of the IRIS performance and concerto by Bruce Adolphe.

St. George’s sophomore Anna Darty won the top prize for her photograph. Karina Jensen, Eric DiNi-colantonio, Sophia Quesa-da, Susannah Smith, Syd-ney Spadafora and Walker Womack also were chosen to display their artwork in the show.

The two art exhibitions displayed photos, paint-ings and sketches from local students, who were asked to find their inspi-ration from this a in Rabbi Joachim Prinz’s March on Washington speech “Neighbor is not a geo-graphic term. It is a moral

concept. It means our col-lective responsibility for the preservation of man’s dignity and integrity.”

Sarah Acuf is the coordinator of

development communications

and assistant director of commu-

nications St. George’s Indepen-

dent School.
