and it’s not unusual for TV personality Bill Dance to make an appearance at the rodeo.

“I wouldn’t miss the rodeo for anything in the world,” Graham said. “It’s one of my favorite things to do every year. I just love to see all those kids catching ish and having fun in a wonderful family environment.”

The Johnson Park lake will be stocked with near-ly 1,000 pounds of cat-ish weighing up to three pounds, according to Dave Rizzuto, TWRA Region 1 isheries biologist.

Prizes will be awarded to the youth in each age group. Also, prizes will be drawn throughout the rodeo from registration forms.

Larry Rea of German-town, host of Outdoors with Larry Rea on ESPN-790 and retired outdoors editor for The Commercial Appeal, will serve as the rodeo’s emcee and direc-tor. Realtor Jackie Welch of Germantown again has agreed to fund the pur-chase of a lifetime hunt-ing and ishing license to one of the rodeo’s partici-pants. All Tennessee par-ticipants will be eligible to win this prize. The win-ner will be drawn from registration forms.

Also, the grand cham-pion, along with his or her immediate family, will win a vacation at Blue Bank Resort on Reelfoot Lake, courtesy of resort owner Mike Hayes, a longtime rodeo supporter. When asked if he’d host the rodeo cham-pion again in 2015, Hayes said, “Put me down for the next 10 years.”

Prizes will be awarded to the youngster in each age group with the most points — 10 for bass, 7 for crappie, 5 for catish, 3 for bluegill/bream and 1 for “other” ish. Door prizes are drawn from registra-tion forms throughout the rodeo. No ishing license is needed. Each participant is responsible for their own rod, reel and bait.

On-site registration will be 7-9 a.m. with ishing from 9-11 a.m. Checkout is 11 a.m. Johnson Road Park is located behind German-town Baptist Church.

Collierville officials cut $653,000 from the town’s 2015-16 budget last Friday, but where those savings will go has yet to be decided.

The budget has not been ap-proved, so the Board of Mayor and Aldermen was able to make the eliminations during a work

session. The cuts are to both op-

erations and capital projects around town. Gone from the list are a new tourism direc-tor position, a reduction in fuel estimates, a reduction in the cost of a software project for the inance department, a part-time administrative clerical position, a crosswalk project in the historical district, an intern position, and an update to the town’s major roads plan. Also, Tom Brooks Park will not get a $120,000 renovation this year, and the parks department will

not get a new vehicle.The board pledged to make

the cuts in tandem with a 15-cent property tax rate hike. While the additional tax revenue would be put in a new fund designated for capital improvements to Collier-ville Schools, the savings from the cuts may stay in the town’s operating budget, at least for now.

Everything cut from this year’s budget could be reinstated in a future budget.

The board approved the irst reading of legislation that would increase the property tax rate

from $1.53 to $1.68 per $100,000 of assessed value.

If approved, property taxes for a $200,000 home would rise from $725 to $840 a year. With that, board members and town leaders said they plan to pair leftover sales tax money, about $2 million a year, and put all of it toward capital improvements.

The school district has ex-pressed need for a new high school to hold as many as 3,000 students, which is expected to cost in the range of $90 million. Whether the sales tax money, property tax hike and capital

money received from Shelby County each year — a total of about $6 million — would be enough to pay of the debt of that new school, along with any other major facilities needs the district might have throughout the year, is still up for debate.

The school board will meet at 1 p.m. Friday at Town Hall to hear from architects on various options for a high school and get more speciic cost estimates.

School oicials will reconvene afterward in a joint work session with the Board of Mayor and Al-dermen.

Mid-South Spelling Bee winner Bates Bennett, a student at Starkville (Miss.) Academy, competes during round two of the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.

By Michael [email protected]

202-408-2711

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Mid-South spellers Cady Baltz and Bates Bennett survived two rounds of spelling on-stage May 27, but their scores on a written test knocked them out of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Cady, an eighth-grader at Houston Middle School in Germantown, and Bates, an eighth-grader at Starkville Academy in Starkville, Miss., did not score high enough on the written test to advance to the semiinals of the 88th annual contest.

Both had worried the written test would cause them problems.

“It was really tough,” Cady said. “I knew a few of the words, but there were a lot I didn’t know.”

Bates agreed. “I had never really seen any of those words,” he said.

Forty-nine semiinalists went on to compete last Thursday for the title of champion speller in the annual competition, which is being held at National Harbor, Md., just outside of Washington.

The bee opened May 26 with 283 spellers from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as seven foreign countries. The list of contestants was whittled down to 49 semiinalists on May 27, based on the contestants’ combined scores on the written test and two oral rounds of spelling.

Earlier, both Cady, 13, and Bates, 14, got of to a good start in the bee’s second round.

Cady strolled conidently to the microphone and listened closely as the pronouncer called out the word “retrospective.” She asked for a deinition (it means pertaining to past events) and the word’s lan-guage of origin (the irst part is Latin, the second part is English to Latin) before acing it.

Cady said she knew how to spell the word, but she asked for the deinition and the origin “to make sure it was the right word and I didn’t mishear it.”

Bates, who competed in the national contest two years ago, nailed the word “bowery,” which refers to a city street or district with cheap saloons.

In the third round, Cady correctly spelled “camor-ra,” which refers to group of people united for dis-honest or dishonorable ends. Bates aced “tarantella,” which is an Italian folk dance.

The spelling bee ended in a tie with Gokul Ven-katachalam and Vanya Shivashankar declared co-champions.

The bee hadn’t ended in a tie for 52 years — until last year. Now it’s happened for two years running.

points in a designated time period is declared the winner.

“I think the only reason we’ve been able to jump this high and been as suc-cessful as we’ve been is because we have a good bond and we trust each other,” Cone said of his mount.

The two have worked together for over two years, spending all of Cone’s junior year of high school in Canada train-ing with his uncle, Mac Cone, a silver medalist in the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the Canadian team.

“Everybody would say that their goal’s the Olym-pics,” Cone said. “I’d like to be in the Olympics one day.”

For now, he has his sights set on a summer ad-vancing in his sport, start-ing with the Germantown show. It’s a show ring he knows well, after starting riding at 18 months and being lead around the ring on his irst pony.

“Not many people go from doing leadline in that ring to doing the Grand Prix,” Cone said. “It’s kind of cool.”

His dad remembers those days well too, and remembers when he irst knew his son had the po-tential to be a professional rider.

“He would go to shows, and would get beat, and he’d fall of, and he got frustrated,” Beanie Cone said. “But then all the sud-den things started click-ing. Then we got him out of the ponies as soon as we could and got him on a horse.”

It was during his son’s junior year traveling and riding internationally that they knew he could make a career out of it, his father said.

The younger Cone won the irst Grand Prix he entered, part of a show in Nashville last September. But this will be his irst time in Germantown’s Grand Prix, and possibly his last: He is headed to college at Florida Gulf Coast University to study business management in the fall, with Roy in tow, of course. And with his mother living in Welling-ton, Florida, one of the most elite equestrian cit-ies in the country, Cone said he plans to advance his skills there before hopefully more interna-tional competition.

Also popular is a race of Jack Russell terriers on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Tickets each day are $5 and $3 for children.

Although he has ive pri-or convictions for drunken driving, the man charged with DUI in the crash that killed two Briarcrest Chris-tian School students over the weekend claimed Mon-day that he wasn’t drunk at the time of the accident.

Shackled and wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, Melandus Penson, 32, made the claim as he was led out of court after his arraignment at the Mar-shall County Justice Court in Holly Springs.

Penson, from Belden, is charged with two counts of DUI causing death and three counts of DUI caus-ing injury. Penson also has been charged with follow-ing too closely, driving on a suspended license and not having insurance. He is being held on $3 million bond and is due back in court Wednesday.

The crash around 6:30 a.m. Sunday killed Rachel Lynch, 17, and Maddie Kruse, 16. Caroline Kam, 18, received minor injuries while Kara Holden, 17, suf-fered a broken collarbone, broken ribs and other in-juries. She was listed in fair condition Monday at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. The four girls, rising seniors at Briar-crest, were headed to the beach for a vacation just a few days after school ended for the summer.

Roxanne Anderson, Kam’s 59-year-old grand-mother, was driving at the time of the accident, the Mississippi Highway Pa-trol conirmed. She wasn’t seriously injured and was back home Monday but declined to talk to The Commercial Appeal.

According to Penson’s claims, Anderson “braked and swerved,” forcing him to ram into the back of her car on U.S. 78 just over the Marshall County line. The impact sent Anderson and the four girls of the road and into a utility pole. The impact crushed the back of the car, where some of the girls were sitting.

At Briarcrest Monday morning, school oicials held a memorial service. Although the ceremony was closed to the media, school oicials said it was standing-room-only in a 1,000-seat chapel.

As mourners iled out of the building after the ceremony, student gov-ernment representatives handed out about 100 bal-loons, which then were released en masse into the sky. Some members of the Briarcrest com-munity stayed afterward, hugging and comforting one another in front of the school they had just left for the summer.

According to court re-cords, Sunday’s fatal crash

marks Penson’s seventh DUI arrest since 2008. Penson has been convicted ive times for DUI after he pleaded guilty to drunken driving in three counties with the last conviction in 2014. He was out on bond on a sixth ofense at the time of Sunday’s crash.

He has been ined re-peatedly, spent a few days in jail and ordered to com-plete at least two alcohol-safety classes.

One of those arrests happened on Sept. 14, 2013, in Sherman, a small town that overlaps Lee, Ponto-toc and Union counties. Sherman police had set up a traic safety check-point on Highway 178 at a four-way intersection when Penson approached.

As he neared the check-point, Penson saw the of-icers and decided to make a run for it, Sherman Po-lice Chief Joel Spellins said. He turned of down a road and led police on a chase.

Germantown Municipal School District oicials said May 28 that while the need for new buildings is great, they want to ap-proach solutions slowly to maximize community support and avoid stum-bling blocks that have hit Lakeland and Collierville in their quests for new schools.

The school board met in a special called meeting, an add-on to the meeting schedule due to a need to approve a maintenance contract before the June 1 deadline. But Supt. Jason Manuel said the capital improvements discussion was added to the agenda to begin more formal board conversations on how to address capacity issues.

“My recommendation is move slowly with this,” Manuel told the board.

Board members agreed, citing a failed referendum for a bond issue in Lake-land and a nonbinding sur-vey in Collierville that was narrowly rejected after asking residents whether they would support a tax increase of up to 38 cents to fund a new high school.

“I think Lakeland was surprised and Collierville was shocked at the re-sponses they got,” board member Ken Hoover said.

While there was no public comment May 28 — board members and Manu-el cited the fact that it was a special called meeting

and not a regular busi-ness meeting — the board discussed holding at least one community town hall event to illustrate the need for more buildings.

“These great, wonder-ful communities that we live in don’t take our word for it,” Hoover said. “They need to be informed. They need to be educated. They need to see the thought process.”

Manuel gave a presen-tation, which the board members had seen previ-ously, outlining the capac-ity issues.

According to data from the planner who serves all six municipal districts, based on birthrate growth only, the Germantown school district could see 900 new students in the next 10 years. If the city were to build out every piece of land zoned resi-dential — which has no timetable for occurring — the district could see

an increase of 774-1,515 students on top of the 900 from birthrate growth. If the density changes, meaning the number of residents stays the same, but includes more children who attend public school, the elementary level alone could gain 233 students, according to the numbers Manuel presented.

Manuel said the elemen-tary need is immediate. At some schools, bathrooms, book rooms and closets are being used for speech pa-thology and occupational and physical therapy ses-sions. The need for new middle school space, aside from the need to get rid of 22 aging portable class-rooms at Riverdale School, is less immediate, he said. But whether the district should tackle both needs with one project is one of the main questions. The district has hired an ar-chitectural irm to develop plans and irm costs for an

expansion of Riverdale and a new elementary school, projects that have been estimated at $7 mil-lion and $15 million.

Board member Mark Dely brought up the issue of Germantown Elementa-ry and Germantown Mid-dle schools — which are inside the city’s boundar-ies but stayed with Shelby County Schools after the de-merger — and whether it could still be possible for the municipal district to take control of those schools. Germantown oicials said earlier this month they had closed the book on that discussion af-ter again being told Shelby County is unwilling to re-linquish them.

“How many times can I ask and be told no before it’s a no?” Manuel said.

The board will hold a work session on Wednes-day. A town hall meeting could be scheduled for as early as the week of June 8.

THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Students with Sycamore Elementary’s Run Club par-ticipated in the Zoom Thru the Zoon 4-mile run. Club members trained for four months to run in the Zoom Thru the Zoo event.

Special to The Weekly

This school year, Sycamore Elementary cel-ebrated the inception of the Run Club.

The Run Club is an initiative led by physical edu-cation department teachers Reggie Summerville and Deena Burford, with assistance from parent volunteer Lorie Streitmatter.

Students were selected for entry to the group from fourth- and ifth-grade applicants.

The Run Club members trained for four months to participate in the Zoom Thru the Zoo 4-mile run.

This training consisted of meeting after school three days a week for a variety of workouts and activities that would increase their cardiovascular endurance.

The event was a great success with everyone inishing their run. Sycamore had lots of teachers, parents and siblings show up to support them and some joined in the race with the students.

The school is thankful to all who made this new venture possible for Sycamore and look forward to more years to come.

2001, is leaving to become

headmaster of Trinity-Pawling

School in New York.

NIKKI BOERTMAN/THE

COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Bill Taylor grew up in land-locked central Ohio, so, natu-rally, he loves nautical meta-phors.

His parting speech as president of St. George’s Inde-pendent School last week was overlowing with them.

“Send out your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will get it back,” Taylor said, quoting Ecclesi-astes at last Wednesday’s inal faculty chapel service.

“That’s what good teachers do,” he added. “We give back to the future.”

That’s what Taylor has done since Rick Ferguson, St. George’s founding visionary, brought him to Memphis to expand, broaden and diver-sify what was then a small, church-based PreK-5 school

in Germantown.That was 14 years ago. St.

George’s now has 1,200 PreK-12 students from 50 ZIP codes on three campuses in three cities

— Germantown, Collierville and Memphis.

Taylor, the son of an Epis-copal priest, didn’t just build a school. He built a culture.

“The only way to avoid this

shipwreck,” he said, quoting John Winthrop’s 1630 sermon, “(is to) make others’ condi-tions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suf-fer together.”

Winthrop wrote his famous “A City on a Hill” sermon while he was aboard the Arbella, the ship that brought the irst Pu-ritans to America.

Taylor’s community-build-ing challenge wasn’t quite

as daunting. But in the often turbulent waters of education in Shelby County, it was new-world territory.

A month after Taylor ar-rived from New York to his new world, St. George’s opened a second PreK-5 campus near Orange Mound.

A year later, St. George’s opened a third campus in Col-lierville — a middle and high school to bring together urban students from the Memphis campus and suburban stu-dents from the Germantown campus.

The irst group of students who were brought together will graduate in 2016.

“St. George’s has changed me and my world view,” said Paige Madison, a rising se-nior who began attending St. George’s Memphis campus when she was 3. “It has broad-ened and strengthened and encouraged me.”

Likewise, said Taylor.When he arrived in 2001,

minorities represented less than 1 percent of St. George’s student body. Now it’s nearly 30 percent — 25 percent in

combined grades 6-12.“The decision to expand the

school has had a transforma-tive impact on St. George’s mission and culture, not to mention me personally,” he said earlier this week.

“Diversity is a transfor-mational force. It changes everything and everyone for the better. Whatever happens next, this will be the highlight of my career.”

Rev. John Leach, the Taylors’ friend and priest at Church of the Holy Apostles, was among those who wished them well at the faculty service.

“I think Bill is simply an un-ordained minister,” Leach said in a video tribute.

His tenure encouraged “stu-dents to be active in the larger community, to see a commu-nity beyond St. George’s, to see what the needs of the world are, and to prepare students to respond to that.”

After 14 years in Memphis, Taylor feels better prepared himself.

“The future of education lies in its mosaic, and Mem-phis has such a rich mosaic”

he said.“The most wonderful thing

about Memphis is that it’s such a textured community, and there’s such a richness in that texture. We can learn from each other, but we have to be intentional about it.”

Taylor, ever the educator, couldn’t complete his speech or his tenure without quoting Shakespeare.

“There is a tide in the af-fairs of men/Which, taken at the lood, leads on to fortune,” the 52-year-old tide-taker told the faculty Wednesday.

The same tide that carried Taylor and his wife, Jennifer, to Memphis is carrying them back to New York.

Taylor will become the sev-enth headmaster of Trinity-Pawling, a boarding school he served as a teacher, coach and administrator from 1988-2001.

“I’m grateful for the cur-rents that brought me here 14 years ago,” Taylor told faculty and staf.

Likewise, Mr. Taylor.

In addition to a cookout, the

waterslide was a big draw for kids at the Farming-

ton Presbyterian 40th birthday

celebration.

Members of Farmington Presbyterian gather on the lawn to celebrate the church’s 40th birthday. Congregants wore red in honor of Pentecost and to celebrate the anniversary.

By Linda K. BourassaSpecial to The Weekly

Farmington Presbyte-rian Church celebrated its 40th birthday on Pen-tecost Sunday.

In 1974, Dr. J. Millen Darnell was called to or-ganize the new congrega-tion in Germantown, and in 1975 a ground break-ing was held for the irst building.

Since the beginning

of the church there has been a preschool and kin-dergarten program. This later expanded to include a before and after school care and a summer camp program.

From the beginning, the church also has been a leader in scouting, spon-soring Cub Pack 368, Boy Scouts Troop 368 and Girl Scout Troops.

Ten diferent pastors, associate pastors and in-

terim pastors have faith-fully served this congrega-tion since its organization.

On Sunday, congre-gants wore red in honor of Pentecost and follow-ing the morning worship, all enjoyed a picnic in the East Garden. A large wa-ter slide for the children was a big hit.

Linda K. Bourassa is the president

of Blue Moon Inc. Marketing and

Public Relations.

By Mark JordanSpecial to The Commercial Appeal

A veteran of the war in Iraq, Mos-cow, Tennessee, resident Bryan

Hayes spent much of his Memorial Day like the rest of the coun-try, cooking out with friends and family. But then the Americana singer-songwriter broke away for a bit to do an interview and play a live set on radio station WEVL-FM 89.9 as part of his promotion for a new record that, in a way, is as much a tribute to the men and women he served with as any day of commem-oration.

The album, “Farther Down the Line,” the release of which Hayes and his band, the Re-trievers, will celebrate with a free show Wednesday at Lafay-ette’s Music Room in Overton Square, is the Brownsville na-tive’s third full-length record. It was partially conceived and written while he was serv-ing two tours of duty in Iraq. Tom Petty-tinged songs writ-ten on deployment like “Small Town Amazing Grace” and “Southern Rain” relect not just a yearning for home that you would expect from a sol-dier in a strange land but also a growing maturity in Hayes’ songwriting that permeates the record.

“There’s no doubt that my time in Iraq afected my song-writing,” Hayes says of songs like “In the USA,” which he couldn’t have imagined writing before. “Maybe ‘mature’ is not the right word, but you don’t go to a foreign country in a combat zone and not grow up. You see things from a diferent perspec-tive, and you’re kind of looking through diferent eyes. It gave me the conidence to touch on some subjects that maybe before I deployed, I would have shied from. I’m a little more apt to touch on some political things, some military things, and may-be even some spiritual things.”

Hayes’ time in Iraq is note-worthy because he chose to go and did so at a time when his music career was just be-ginning to catch ire. Inspired by Texas tunesmiths like Guy Clark and Robert Earl Keen, Hayes came on the scene more than a decade ago with the 2004 album “Just A Man.” Part of the Memphis Songwriter Association community, he earned a couple of that group’s Memphis Songwriter Awards right out of the gate. He built a recording studio out in Moscow that started getting work and founded the label co-op Re-triever Records to put out his records and those of his friends.

Hayes earned even more at-

tention with his second release, “Long Hard Road,” from 2006. But shortly after that record’s release, Hayes made a dramatic about-face. Devoutly religious, he and his wife felt they were being called to serve. After talking it over, in 2007 Hayes enlisted in the National Guard.

“I’m a preacher’s kid, and we’re very strong in our faith,” Hayes says. “All my relatives have served, very military family. My grandfather was in World War II, and my uncles served in the National Guard, so I grew up in the church but also with a military heritage. It was something we felt called to do. So we kind of put the music on hold, put the guitar in the closet for a little bit and shut down the recording studio.”

For almost three years, while Hayes went through basic and infantry training and oicer candidate school, music stayed on the back burner. But even while leading convoy security details and night patrols out-side of Mosul in 2010, Hayes couldn’t escape music entirely.

“I always tell people when you send a lot of Tennessee boys over to Iraq, its inevitable that at some point the guitars are going to break out,” Hayes says. “Being a Tennessee unit, I think every single soldier was a songwriter or musician.”

One of those musicians was a 19-year-old Army specialist, a whiz- kid picker named Zach Tucker, with whom Hayes sat around a campire one night and wrote “I Wanna Run,” the begin-ning of “Farther Down the Line.”

Returning home in 2010, Hayes eased back into music, making the EP “Tangled up In You” in 2013 and re-recording his debut album as “Still Just a Man ... 10 Years Later” last year. But with the release of “Farther

Down the Line,” produced in Nashville by Andy Hunt (Drew Holcomb), Hayes feels at last like he has completely resumed his career.

“Last year we did 150-160 shows, so we had gotten back into the groove,” Hayes says before outlining plans for his band’s irst-ever coast-to-coast tour. “This year, for the irst time,

we’re on track to play around 200 shows, which is where we want to be. Playing live, that’s what we enjoy the most.”

Although his music career is back on track, Hayes hasn’t forgotten the experiences and people that shaped his new record and artistic sensibility. Tucker, now a sergeant, makes an appearance in the video for “I Wanna Run.” Hayes is donat-ing proceeds from the sale of the single to the Wounded War-rior Project, and in select cities, including Dallas and Nashville, he is playing beneits for the organization, which provides services for wounded veterans.

“It’s the least we could do to pay back the people who ight for us,” he says.

“A Year with Frog and Toad” follows two great friends, the cheerful, pop-ular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad, through four, fun-illed seasons.

Waking from hiberna-tion in the spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sled-ding and learn life lessons along the way. The two

best friends celebrate and rejoice in their diferences that make them unique and special. The jazzy, up-beat score of bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant, and enchanting musical for the whole family.

“A Year with Frog and Toad” is the irst of two productions in GCT’s summer All Children’s Theatre series. The sec-ond production, “Inherit

the Wind,” will run July 31 — Aug. 9. The All Chil-dren’s Theatre program at Germantown Community Theatre is sponsored by the City of Germantown, Tennessee Arts Commis-sion, ArtsMemphis, Mem-bers of the GCT Trust and the Germantown Arts Al-liance.

Renee Davis Brame is the op-

erations director of Germantown

MEMPHIS - You’ve heard theads on radio or have seen themin the paper. This Memphis Men’sClinic claiming their doctorscan solve erectile dysfunction;even if others failed in the past.Frankly, I ind these claims

hard to believe.I’ve been with the same family

doctor 30 years. My urologistis the best in Tennessee.

When my prostate cancer hit5 years ago, my family doctor andurologist recommended removal.I didn’t argue. They are doctors afterall. They assured me I’d be able toperform in the bedroom after thesurgery.

After the surgery, that wasnot the case. My urologistgave me Viagra, Cialis, andnothing worked. I tried thepump and Caverject. Againno results just lots of physical andemotional pain.My Family Doctor Said My

E.D. Was Incurable, ThereWas Nothing Anyone CouldDo!

My wife was supportive. She toldme it wasn’t important to her andthere were other “things” we coulddo. Deep down inside I felt like lessof a man and husband.

For 6 months, I heard the adsfor the Memphis Men’s Clinic andthought to myself. ”How can thosedoctors at that Memphis Men’sClinic, who don’t know me, makethese claims to solve my E.D. in12 minutes or less... for only $199?”

After discussing it withmy wife, I igured what do I haveto lose? Frankly, part of me wantedto prove those doctors wrong andblow the cover on the entire scam.

My wife booked an appointment -the day came -I was nervousand angry. I didn’t want to bedisappointed again. To myamazement, the ofice staff wasprofessional, medically trained,and helped me relax. I met with thedoctor and his trained medical staff.He gave me the test dose.I Felt Something I Hadn’t

Felt In 5 Years!In 12 minutes, “it” worked.

My wife was in the room andsaw the results for herself.We were speechless and excited!The doctor came back into the roomand I looked at him in disbelief. Heexplained it’s not my doctor’s faultthey failed in the past. Since this isthe clinic’s specialty they are ableto help thousands of men performagain, where others have failed, nomatter the cause of ED or PE issues.

Sure the medications are extra,but it’s cheaper than the pills yourdoctor prescribes for you... And thisworks!

My advice to you...call Memphis Men’s Clinic at901-443-0480. Tell them Alansent you and be prepared for oneof the biggest and best surprises ofyour life.

For musicians Kevin and Bethany Paige, the beloved pop performers who have been longtime stalwarts at Alfred’s on Beale Street, last Saturday marked their inal residency gig at the club. It brings an end to the couple’s 11-year run there, and for Kevin Paige, it con-cludes 20-plus years anchoring the weekend entertainment at the venue.

“The one thing about success on Beale is consistency, is being there all the time,” says Kevin. “That somebody who’s going down to Beale Street once ev-ery six months can rely on you being there. It’s scary to let go of that.”

For the couple, the decision to leave Beale is the result of an increased commitment to their “other” musical career. In December, Kevin and Bethany left their positions as worship leaders at Midtown’s Linden-wood Christian Church after 16 years to take on full-time jobs as music directors at the Church of the Incarnation in Collierville — the largest Catholic Church in the state.

“They were looking for a more contemporary musical direction. And we certainly had experience in that coming

from 16 years at Lindenwood,” said Kevin. “We’re both actu-ally Catholic, but the Catholic Church wasn’t ready for the music that we did, which was a little more modern. But now they’re more open to it.”

At Incarnation, the couple has been helping guide the mu-sic for four sets of services on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. “That’s a lot of work to do and then stay up till 4 a.m. playing on Beale in between,” says Bethany. “For 16 years we did that, but it’s taken a toll for sure.”

Now the couple are selling their home in Midtown to move to Collierville, and they’re leaving their Alfred’s gig be-hind. “It’s a huge life step, to say the least,” says Kevin. “But it’s an amazing congregation, priest leadership and staff leadership at (Incarnation). It couldn’t be a more amazing door for us to walk through. It really was God opening this door. He’s blessed us to always open doors at the right time. That includes Alfred’s, that in-cludes Lindenwood, and now it includes Church of the In-carnation.”

The move represents another shift for Kevin — who enjoyed a brief run of national pop star-dom, with a couple top 40 hits in the late ’80s — in a career full of them. Perhaps most pivotal

was the decision to go to work on Beale during the street’s early revival in the late ’80s. “I took on the house band job at Alfred’s in 1992,” he says. “I jumped around to some other clubs, but came back in ’96 or ’97, and if you add it up, I’ve been there 20 years. And it’s been a special place for me for a lot of reasons.”

Kevin and Bethany actu-ally met at Alfred’s in the ’90s. “That kicked of our whole re-lationship, professionally and romantically,” says Bethany, noting that Alfred’s owners paid

for the couple’s honeymoon to Hawaii. “They’ve always been extremely generous and loyal, and we’ve been loyal to them.”

Bethany formally joined the house band in 2004, turning the group into a duo show. “And in recent years, Bethany’s become more the leader,” says Kevin. “She’s actually the front person now. I’m a good bit older than she is — and, to be honest, she’s bought me shelf life as a club performer beyond my years.”

The end of the couple’s Beale residency doesn’t mean the end of their secular music career,

however. “We’re not stopping completely,” says Bethany. “We’ll have the opportunity take on more private gigs now. And we’ll go back to Alfred’s now and then. They’re like fam-ily to us — the owners, the man-agers and all the regulars who come see us — so we’ll certainly go back.”

Meantime, Bethany says the couple will focus their record-ing efforts in the Christian music realm. “We’ve pretty much exclusively made Chris-tian music recordings for the last 10 years,” she notes. “We try to give our congregation something they can feel like is theirs, uniquely theirs, writ-ten for them, that they can take home and listen to.”

“What our future really holds is the church irst and foremost,” adds Kevin. “I don’t know what that means musically. I just know that we’re going to be so involved in more things than just music. And that’s exciting and feels so purposeful, and we couldn’t be happier.”

Even though last Saturday’s inal set at Alfred’s was some-what bittersweet, the couple says they’re ready to move forward into the next phase. “That’s the great thing about life,” Kevin says. “You just go with the low of things and let doors open naturally. You can’t be scared to go through them.”

On the website for Clay My-ers II, one must scroll to the bottom to ind what is driving the 25-year-old’s passion for his profession. Set of from his bi-ography is a one-sentence state-ment written in red, a mission statement if you will, that reads: “My ultimate goal is to play golf on the PGA Tour and become a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.”

Nothing like setting an ex-tremely high bar.

A sponsor’s exemption into next week’s FedEx St. Jude Clas-sic at TPC Southwind will give the former Germantown High and Jackson State golfer his irst taste of the PGA Tour. As for the Hall of Fame, well, check back in 2045.

“It’s crazy to think I’ll be play-ing my irst PGA tournament,” Myers said. “It’s deinitely an honor.”

His swing coach, Dan Brown, called it an excellent opportu-nity and “part of the journey for a (role) model of a person.”

Myers, who lives in Orlando and is spending the summer in Memphis, enters the FESJC following an eventful year, one in which he served as a caddie for LPGA Tour pro Cheyenne Woods — Tiger’s niece — and participated on “The Big Break,” the Golf Channel’s ongoing real-ity series. Myers was one of 12 contestants on the show, ilmed at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He reached the inal four before be-ing eliminated.

“When I auditioned for the show, I probably hit ive golf

shots,” Myers said. “Then we talked for about 30 minutes. So they are deinitely interested in the story. I think they want the story irst, then they go see how good a golfer you are.”

For Myers, who has been play-ing on the mini-tour circuit the past two years, the Golf Chan-nel experience was akin to being atop a leaderboard. Followers of the show, in its 23rd season, rec-ognized him in public. The pop-ularity of The Big Break played a part in the sponsor’s exemption.

Myers said the show’s produc-ers were fascinated by his back-ground, including his working for Cheyenne Woods. Woods, whom Myers had known since their early teenage years, called Myers to work one tournament early last season.

“With each tournament she progressively (played) better,” Myers said. “Then she said: ‘Do you want to do this full-time?’

“I had to think hard about that. I talked to a lot of people. I talked to my parents. At that point, as it relates to my golf game, I felt I needed to see it from a diferent perspective. So I was comfort-able taking a year of to go caddie

for her.”Myers said he learned a lot

from being on the bag for Woods. He was impressed by her com-mitment and focus. The player-caddie relationship, which ended last summer, led to a trip to see her uncle at his home in Jupiter, Fla.

“It was amazing,” Myers said. “I saw the trophy room at his house. It inspired me. It showed me what greatness looked like.”

He said he and Tiger also practiced chipping and putting in Tiger’s backyard during the visit.

“It was right after his back sur-gery so he couldn’t hit full shots,” Myers said. “His chipping was phenomenal.

A product of the local The First Tee program, whose mis-

sion is to introduce the sport and its values to youth, Myers earned a golf scholarship to Jack-son State and was named SWAC Player of the Year. He also played in an NCAA regional.

Three years ago, Myers was committed to pursuing a career in professional golf manage-ment. An accelerated training program would be followed by an assignment at a golf course to inish the training.

“That was the plan; it was all worked out,” Myers said. “On a whim, I went and qualiied for the U.S. Amateur in Knoxville. I’d never done that before.”

Myers shot 68-72 in the quali-fying tournament and birdied the irst hole of a playof to ad-vance to the U.S. Amateur. The success forced him to put the

golf management career on hold. Myers, who had a golf job pend-ing, said his career path changed upon reaching the site of the U.S. Amateur in Denver.

“One of the things that sur-prised me was there were 320 participants and I was the only African-American golfer,” Myers said. “It motivated me (to pur-sue a playing career) because if I wasn’t going to do it, who was?

“To make it to the U.S. Ama-teur (conirmed) I was one of the best amateurs in the country. To get there and not see any other black golfers really motivated me. At that point, things became much bigger than me. I felt I was doing what I was doing for a lot more than just myself. I decided at that point I was going to turn pro.”

Memphis senior first baseman Tucker Tubbs, a former star at Collierville High, has been named to the Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-Amer-ican baseball team. Tubbs is a third team All-America selection as chosen by Col-legiate Baseball newspaper.

Tubbs, previously named to the American Athletic Conference First Team, was one of the na-tion’s leading power hit-ters during the 2015 sea-son. Tubbs is tied for sixth nationally with 17 home runs. He also ranks among the top-50 in the country in total bases (134).

“We are elated that the season Tucker had is being recognized by Louisville Slugger and Collegiate Baseball as All-America worthy,” said Memphis head coach Daron Schoen-rock. “At times this season, he carried the team ofen-sively. I assume he will receive more postseason awards and he is deserv-ing of all of them. We are

thrilled for Tucker.”For the year Tubbs bat-

ted .305 with 15 doubles and 55 RBI. He had a .601 slugging percentage, and as the Tigers’ everyday irst baseman, had a team-leading .992 ielding per-centage. Tubbs leads the American Athletic Con-ference in four statistical categories, including home runs and runs batted in.

In mid-April, Tubbs was named one of six Louis-ville Slugger National Players of the Week, as well as being recognized as the American Athletic Conference and Tennessee Sports Writers Associa-tion’s Hitter of the Week after a proliic ive-game stretch in which he blasted a home in all ive games.

During the week which included a two-run shot in a win over Mississippi State, Tubbs batted .571 with eight RBI and nine runs scored. He did not strike out in 24 plate ap-pearances over the ive games while reaching base 15 times for a .625 on-base percentage.

Also during the month

of April, Tubbs hit a grand slam to fuel an 8-3 win over Arkansas State.

In addition to his ath-letic prowess, Tubbs is a Capital One Academic All-District First Team selection who received his degree earlier this month in accounting.

In the classroom, Tubbs carried a 3.87 grade-point average.

Tubbs becomes the ninth Memphis player to receive All-America hon-ors and the irst since third baseman Jacob Wilson was named a Louisville Slugger third team All-America se-lection in 2012.

As the ninth All-Amer-ica selection in program history, Tubbs joins Wil-son, along with Chad Zurcher (2011), Dan Uggla (2001), Mark Little (1994), Tim Dulin (1983-84), Tim Corder (1982-83), Dave Anderson (1981) and Ron McNeely (1975-76) in the select company of U of M Baseball All-Americans.

PITTSBURGH — DeAngelo Williams wants to get something straight. Yes, the long-time running back came to Pittsburgh in the ofseason to give the Steelers a much-needed inlux of depth behind All-Pro Le’Veon Bell.

Just don’t peg Williams as merely a backup. While he understands his job is to ill in when Bell needs a break, Wil-liams is conident there is plenty of life left in his 32-year-old legs. There better be with Bell facing a three-game suspen-sion to start the 2015 season following his arrest on DUI and marijuana charges last summer.

“I came from Carolina where I started for most of my career,” Williams said. “So that’s not a heavy workload at all.”

Williams is still anticipating an adjust-ment period as he tries to adapt to a new ofense after spending nearly a decade with the Panthers, where he is the leading rusher in franchise history after racking up 6,486 yards and 46 touchdowns.

“All I have to do is get the playbook down, which I am,” Williams said. “(I have to) understand the terminology is diferent than Carolina’s, which I am. Won’t be any questions or any problems of me answering those questions. Y’all just sit back and have a seat and relax and just enjoy the show.”

One that will likely include Williams lining up behind quarterback Ben Ro-ethlisberger when the Steelers open the 2015 season at Super Bowl champion New England on Sept. 10. While Bell has appealed his suspension, even if it is reduced it seems likely he will still miss time. That leaves Williams as the top remaining option and in the unlikely spot of feature back after intermittently splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart for most of the last six years.

Bell averaged 23 touches a game in 2014 while developing a reputation as one of the most versatile backs in the league and helping propel the Steelers to the AFC North title. Compare that to Williams, who has just three games with at least 23 touches since the start of the 2009 sea-

son. Still, Williams bristled at the idea he is limited even though he has just ive games in his career with at least ive re-ceptions.

“I work on my hands, I make sure that they’re right,” Williams said. “ ... I’m aware that if the ball is thrown in my di-rection I’m expected to catch it because (people are) going to be on my back.”

He freely admits he signed with the Steelers because “you go where the job is” but added Pittsburgh it his two biggest prerequisites. The Steelers aren’t rebuild-ing and their ofensive core is already in place.

Collierville native Thomas Carpenter recent-ly joined the staf of con-gressman Steve Cohen as an intern in the Congress-man’s Capitol Hill oice.

During his May through August internship, Carpen-ter will work closely with Cohen’s legislative team and assist in other oicial duties, including helping with constituent requests, attending hearings and brieings, conducting leg-islative research, and pro-viding tours of the Capitol complex to Memphians visiting Washington. Each year, approximately

a dozen interns serve the citizens of the Ninth Dis-trict in the Congressman’s Washington, D.C., oice.

“I’ve known for some time that I wanted to work in policy and constituent service, so I was excited that congressman Cohen ofered me an internship in his Capitol Hill oice,” Car-penter said. “I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer than working in a congressional oice. I appreciate congressman Cohen giving me this op-portunity and am looking forward to giving back to the Memphis community during my time in Wash-ington.”

During his time in Washington, Carpenter will experience the leg-islative process, as well as the inner workings of our federal government irsthand, and he will gain valuable research and oth-er skills that will make him more competitive in the job market.

Carpenter has lived in the Memphis area for more than 10 years and is a ris-ing senior at the University of Tennessee, where he is majoring in Classics and minoring in Political Sci-ence. He also works at UT’s Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy while he is in school.

The relationship, if you can call it that, between Cy the Cynic, a shameless chau-vinist, and Wendy, my club’s feminist, appeared to have softened a bit.

“We’re playing together in a duplicate game this after-noon,” Cy had told me.

I sat down to watch the part-nership, and they promptly reached a slam in today’s deal. Cy was South, and af-ter Wendy cue-bid her ace of clubs, Cy’s leap to six spades was reasonable.

Cy took the ace of clubs, led a trump to his jack, led a diamond to dummy’s jack and returned a second trump to his queen. West discarded, so the Cynic drew East’s king of trumps and started the dia-monds. They broke 4-3, so Cy discarded all four of dummy’s hearts. He ru�ed a heart with dummy’s last trump and lost one heart at the end, making six.

“Well bid, partner,” Cy said.

“You misplayed it,” Wendy sni�ed.

“That’s just like her,” Cy grumbled to me. “I’ve often heard her say that behind every successful man stands a woman telling him he’s wrong.”

Wendy proceeded to tell Cy that he would have gone down if East had held five diamonds. After Cy’s second trump fi-nesse wins, he should test the diamonds without cashing the ace of trumps. When they break 4-3, Cy plays as before.

If East has five diamonds, Cy can still discard three hearts from dummy, ru� his last dia-mond, and next lead a heart to West’s ace. Cy can then ru� his last heart in dummy.

“I have 25 more deals to play with her,” Cy growled to me. “I can’t wait.”

Dear Harriette: The boy I am taking to prom is from a di�erent high school, and he recently got into an accident that resulted in the loss of some of his teeth and a part of his lip. He is get-ting surgery soon and will have new teeth for prom, but he will still have very visible scar-ring. Admittedly, I am superficial and want the attention on me at my senior prom, not on his injury. Is it inappropriate of me to ask him to wear makeup to conceal his wounds?

— Covering Up, Naples, Florida

Answer: Let’s start by giving thanks that your date was not hurt worse and that he is even avail-able to attend to the prom with you. The damage to his face suggests that this was a very bad accident. You would be wise to adopt an attitude of grati-tude that he would even consider going to a public function after this.

Apart from your van-ity, which could use some

checking, let’s look at your question strategi-cally. Because your date goes to another school, he won’t be getting as much attention as you, anyway. While it is your prom, it is not all about you. To the issue of makeup, if o�ered appropriately, it could be kind of you to suggest that you can help him to feel more at ease by applying concealer on his scars (if they no longer have any open wounds) to make them more subtle. Your reason for wanting to give him these touch-ups, though, should be to make him feel better, not you.

The relationship, if you can call it that, between Cy the Cynic, a shameless chau-vinist, and Wendy, my club’s feminist, appeared to have softened a bit.

“We’re playing together in a duplicate game this after-noon,” Cy had told me.

I sat down to watch the part-nership, and they promptly reached a slam in today’s deal. Cy was South, and af-ter Wendy cue-bid her ace of clubs, Cy’s leap to six spades was reasonable.

Cy took the ace of clubs, led a trump to his jack, led a diamond to dummy’s jack and returned a second trump to his queen. West discarded, so the Cynic drew East’s king of trumps and started the dia-monds. They broke 4-3, so Cy discarded all four of dummy’s hearts. He ru�ed a heart with dummy’s last trump and lost one heart at the end, making six.

“Well bid, partner,” Cy said.

“You misplayed it,” Wendy sni�ed.

“That’s just like her,” Cy grumbled to me. “I’ve often heard her say that behind every successful man stands a woman telling him he’s wrong.”

Wendy proceeded to tell Cy that he would have gone down if East had held five diamonds. After Cy’s second trump fi-nesse wins, he should test the diamonds without cashing the ace of trumps. When they break 4-3, Cy plays as before.

If East has five diamonds, Cy can still discard three hearts from dummy, ru� his last dia-mond, and next lead a heart to West’s ace. Cy can then ru� his last heart in dummy.

“I have 25 more deals to play with her,” Cy growled to me. “I can’t wait.”

The relationship, if you can call it that, between Cy the Cynic, a shameless chau-vinist, and Wendy, my club’s feminist, appeared to have softened a bit.

“We’re playing together in a duplicate game this after-noon,” Cy had told me.

I sat down to watch the part-nership, and they promptly reached a slam in today’s deal. Cy was South, and af-ter Wendy cue-bid her ace of clubs, Cy’s leap to six spades was reasonable.

Cy took the ace of clubs, led a trump to his jack, led a diamond to dummy’s jack and returned a second trump to his queen. West discarded, so the Cynic drew East’s king of trumps and started the dia-monds. They broke 4-3, so Cy discarded all four of dummy’s hearts. He ru�ed a heart with dummy’s last trump and lost one heart at the end, making six.

“Well bid, partner,” Cy said.

“You misplayed it,” Wendy sni�ed.

“That’s just like her,” Cy grumbled to me. “I’ve often heard her say that behind every successful man stands a woman telling him he’s wrong.”

Wendy proceeded to tell Cy that he would have gone down if East had held five diamonds. After Cy’s second trump fi-nesse wins, he should test the diamonds without cashing the ace of trumps. When they break 4-3, Cy plays as before.

If East has five diamonds, Cy can still discard three hearts from dummy, ru� his last dia-mond, and next lead a heart to West’s ace. Cy can then ru� his last heart in dummy.

“I have 25 more deals to play with her,” Cy growled to me. “I can’t wait.”

Dear Harriette: The boy I am taking to prom is from a di�erent high school, and he recently got into an accident that resulted in the loss of some of his teeth and a part of his lip. He is get-ting surgery soon and will have new teeth for prom, but he will still have very visible scar-ring. Admittedly, I am superficial and want the attention on me at my senior prom, not on his injury. Is it inappropriate of me to ask him to wear makeup to conceal his wounds?

— Covering Up, Naples, Florida

Answer: Let’s start by giving thanks that your date was not hurt worse and that he is even avail-able to attend to the prom with you. The damage to his face suggests that this was a very bad accident. You would be wise to adopt an attitude of grati-tude that he would even consider going to a public function after this.

Apart from your van-ity, which could use some

checking, let’s look at your question strategi-cally. Because your date goes to another school, he won’t be getting as much attention as you, anyway. While it is your prom, it is not all about you. To the issue of makeup, if o�ered appropriately, it could be kind of you to suggest that you can help him to feel more at ease by applying concealer on his scars (if they no longer have any open wounds) to make them more subtle. Your reason for wanting to give him these touch-ups, though, should be to make him feel better, not you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You are capable of making a change with ease. You see where you are going, and you understand why you are heading in that direction. You’ll have a vision others will have to trust. You might be taken aback by a loved one’s news.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be on the verge of making a major change involving your inances. Do your best not to panic, it will be for the best. A partnership might be signiicant. Think twice before you take action.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by a change in someone. This transformation might have been happening for a while, but

perhaps you are just now notic-ing. Go with the low.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Understand what is hap-pening with an associate. You might be surprised by a change in what is going on in this per-son’s life. Your ability to adjust will be tested. Let go of a need to control how things play out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH How you handle a matter involving a child or loved one could be important. Try to eliminate your side of any games. Everyone will be happier. You might be more in tune with a situation than you realize.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might be in a situa-tion where you feel pressured to make certain statements. Don’t allow someone to coax you into doing anything. Understand what needs to happen with a child or family member. You probably will have to make a major adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You seem to be tired and withdrawn. How you see a situation could change given some time, sleep and someone else’s argument. You might be pushing yourself too hard. Be

aware of what is happening.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHH Keep your eye on a money matter. The other party could have strong feelings to share. Confusion surrounds a domestic matter. Try to clear up one at a time. You might have to make a change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You will be very diicult to stop. You might want to talk about a situation more openly in the past, as it could afect you today. Use care with a family member who tends to take out anger on you. Stay clear of this person’s issues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Surprises surround you, no matter what you do. Re-lax and try not to put so much emphasis on your thoughts. You will see a personal matter difer-ently in a few days. Know that everything is changeable — even your judgment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH What you believe you need could be very diferent from what you actually need. In the process of pursuing a long-term desire, you might discover that you have changed your mind. Stop and review this goal.

Dear Miss Manners: I am curious to ind out what would be the most accept-able and polite answer in this situation: A man (stranger) feels a wom-an’s dress is indecent and comes up to this woman to tell her directly that she’s not appropriately dressed for the event.

How should she respond to such a brash and con-frontational statement?

Gentle Reader: If you in-tend to be the critic in this situation, Miss Manners can assure you that the re-sponse will not be one of gratitude or contrition. It may even require a towel if the lady in question is hold-ing a full glass. She urges you to rethink your plans.

If you are, instead, what can reasonably be termed the victim, she asks only for restraint — while acknowl-

edging that the behavior is a gross insult, which does not require a nuanced re-sponse. After a cold “Thank you for your opinion,” the lady should walk away. What a woman who is not a lady might do, Miss Man-ners does not know.

Dear Miss Manners: Two days after my town lost three teenagers to a tragic car accident, a community member began selling me-morial T-shirts. All pro-ceeds are to be given to the families to help with inal expenses.

I think their hearts are in the right places but, to me, it seems to trivialize and cheapen the memories of these children.

When I suggested do-nations should be sought in order to provide a more lasting tribute, I was ac-cused of “starting drama.” I was trying to think of how I would feel as a mother if next year someone is wash-ing his car with that T-shirt

or dropping it of to charity.I suggested a tree plant-

ing with a small plaque or a small monument at the school the three chil-dren attended, and was surprised by the nasty re-sponses I received.

Miss Manners, I don’t want to further hurt an al-ready grieving community, but am I wrong in thinking that a “T-shirt memorial” is cheap and tasteless?

Gentle Reader: No good comes of a competition over whose memorial is the most itting or whose lower ar-rangement is best. Funeral etiquette recognizes a hi-erarchy of grief, and while your community may be grieving for the loss, Miss Manners reminds you it is the feelings of the principal mourners — the immediate families — that take prece-dence. How would you, as a mother, feel watching oth-ers argue over the tasteful-ness — or tastelessness — of the arrangements?

Sudoku

Dear Annie: My father-in-law died four years ago. He had struggled with some health issues for a while and then went into the hospital for what was supposed to be a simple procedure and never made it out. It broke my heart. And it was the first time I ever saw my husband cry. Both of his parents were like the parents I wish I’d had. I adored his father.

Here’s the problem. A few months ago, my mother-in-law started dating a nice guy from her church. He’s a widower, and she and my father-in-law were friends with him and his late wife. Last night, my mother-in-law arrived home from her date and announced that they were engaged! We were floored. My husband congratulated her, and he seems genuinely happy for both of them.

But not me. I feel upset. I feel like my own mother is remarrying after my father died, and I don’t like it. I am happy that my mother-in-law has found love again when we are lucky to even find it once, but I feel sad and hurt at the same time. I know this is totally crazy, so how do I move past these feelings?

— Daughter-in-Law

Dear Daughter-in-Law: Your letter is actually very sweet. You love your in-laws, and you recognize that your reaction is unwarranted and want to change it. Good for you. First, we are glad that no one is taking advantage of Mom. She has been friends with this man for years. Second, like many children, you fear a new marriage will diminish Dad’s posi-tion in the family. But rest assured, this won’t happen. A new marriage doesn’t erase Dad or the wonderful memories all of you have. This is an entirely di�erent rela-tionship. But it allows Mom to have a compan-ion and be less lonely. In years to come, you will be grateful. Try to fake being happy for her until you discover that you truly are.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

“My partner and I argued about our auction in this deal,” a club player told me. “I was South, and when he jumped to four hearts, I used Blackwood and bid six.

“West led the king of spades, and dummy was a disappointment. I took the ace, drew trumps, cashed the A-K of clubs and ru�ed a club. The queen didn’t fall, so I lost two spades. Didn’t partner’s bidding promise more strength than he had?”

PREEMPT After West’s preempt, North must

stretch to show heart support; he might bid three hearts to compete with only a bit of extra strength. The jump to four hearts showed extras but not 20 points. If North had that much strength plus a heart fit, he could cue-bid three spades.

Six hearts was cold. After South draws trumps, he takes the ace of dia-monds, ru�s a diamond, cashes the A-K of clubs and ru�s a club. He then leads a trump to dummy and returns the jack

of clubs, pitching a spade — a loser on a loser. East must concede a ru�-slu�.

This week: loser on loser.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Communication will be most suc-cessful in the morning. A gentle touch could end nearly any problem. You might want to reach out for more feedback.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)★★★★ Others will come toward you before you even make it out the door this morning. Eye a financial arrangement with cynicism, and don’t jump into any legal agreements right now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Don’t allow others to distract you. Maintaining this stance will take a lot of self-discipline. You could be challenged by a partner later in the day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)★★★★ You might be in the position to find out more information about a loved one. Your attitude will help this person reveal him- or herself more completely.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★★ You might be slow to get going, but once the afternoon hits, you can’t be stopped. Be aware of what someone lets slip, and try not to take it personally. Lighten up.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)★★★ Return calls in the morning — you have a lot of ground to cover. Schedule as much as you can for later in week. You could be surprised by what comes out in a conver-sation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ You will need to handle a personal matter before the day grows old. You won’t want this issue to undermine your thinking. Listen to what you are hearing. A conversa-tion might need to be revisited.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★ Handle anything important in the morning, when you feel more upbeat. Your ability to get past a problem allows a misun-derstanding to melt away.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ As o� as you might feel in the morn-ing, you will feel much better by midafter-noon. Take your time getting started, and worry less about your choices and where you are going.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★ You could be faced with a major change you might not have been expecting. Don’t worry — you probably will like what you are seeing. Make fewer judgments, and enjoy the experience.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★★ You might be in the mood to initiate a change. How you plan to handle this mat-ter could vary significantly as the day ages. Success comes to you in the mid-afternoon.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You might be wondering what approach would be best under the circum-stances. You have the ability to see past the obvious and to understand the implications.

Horoscope

This year you open up to many differ-ent approaches. You are willing to do the work to achieve your long-term goals. You also become more in tune with the people in your immediate circle. If you are single, through mid-August you’ll attract several admir-ers. One of them could be significant to your life. If you are attached, your ability to communicate evolves and enhances your bond. You and your significant other will enjoy each other far more than you have in the recent past. Come fall, you will add to the quality of your life together. SAGITTARIUS often challenges you!

MY ANSWER

Make it your priority to follow Christ daily

Q: I really used to believe in God and I had a strong faith, but now all that seems to have faded. Will I ever get my old faith back, or will it probably always be like this?

— K.D.

A: God doesn’t want you to have a faded, lukewarm faith the rest of your life — and you don’t need to, because he has given us everything we need to make our faith strong and vital. God’s will is for us to be “rooted and built up in him (Christ), strengthened in the faith” (Colossians 2:7).

What can you do to strengthen your faith? Let me suggest three steps. First, focus your faith. For many people “faith” is just a vague feeling that easily fades away. But true faith has a focus: Jesus Christ. Begin your journey by turning to Christ and asking him to forgive you and come to live within you, and he will. The

Bible says, “Whoever has the son has life” (1 John 5:12).

Second, feed your faith. Just as we’ll grow weak and eventually die if we don’t eat, so our faith will grow weak and even-tually die if we don’t feed regularly on the spiritual “food” God has given us: the “food” of the Bible (which is God’s Word), prayer and fellowship with other believers. The Bible says, “Faith comes from hear-ing... the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17).

Finally, follow your faith; that is, put it into action. Make it your priority to follow Christ every day in your thoughts, your speech, your actions, your time, your love for others. Muscles grow stronger when they’re exercised, and so does faith. The Bible says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:22).

Home & Garden

There’s no better way to get ideas for your own garden than to prowl around in other people’s yards.

I confess to lots of looking, sometimes snap-ping photos of interesting vi-gnettes, contain-ers or other suc-cessful ways of using plants that can be seen from the sidewalk or even the street. Except in rare cases, the best stuf is often hid-den around back where prowling without an invitation is called trespassing.

Luckily, six master gardeners in Midtown and East Memphis are inviting everyone into their front yards and backyards for the annual “Through Our Gar-den Gates” tour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Each garden has much to learn. I chose to visit Melissa Taylor’s East Memphis property because it seems to ofer almost every planting opportunity an ambitious gardener could want.

“I have a little bit of every-thing — full sun, part sun and a woodland area,” said Taylor who is now serving as president of the Memphis Area Master Garden-ers. She grows numerous orna-mentals as well as edibles.

Since she moved into the home in 2009, she changed the exterior color from yellow and green to white and gray, then began adding carefully selected plants that will thrive where she installs them.

Instead of adhering to a set plan that could limit her desire to collect numerous plants, she inds places for great new intro-ductions as well as tried-and-

true pass-alongs. For this tour, she compiled a plant list that ills ive typed pages.

Gardening, she said, is a lot like cooking.

“You can be a baker and adhere to precise mea-surements, or you can be a cook and add a little this and that. I’m deinitely a cook.”

Taylor, a phar-maceutical rep for Amgen, keeps the

front landscape simple with yel-low Knock-Out roses lining the sidewalk to the entrance.

The azaleas and two Japanese maples in the bed in front of the porch were planted by previous owners. She added some heuch-eras and hostas.

Anchoring the sides of the yard are two cherry and two peach trees that have grown from the “sticks” she planted six years ago to good-size trees producing harvestable fruits.

The backyard was almost a clean canvas except for a few old azaleas, some irises, a camellia, lots of monkey grass and two redbud trees.

She began carving out beds along the fence line for peren-nials and shrubs that give mul-tiseason color. On two sturdy posts, she hangs a hammock not far from a whimsical “choir” of organ pipes gleaned from a church slated for teardown.

“They remind me of people singing,” said Taylor, who gave each pipe a “hat” of sedums and other small plants.

In a sunny area toward the back fence, she created a maze of raised beds where she grow edibles like blueberries, basil and fennel mixed with lowers

that bring in bees, butterlies and other pollinators.

Strawberry Blond, a sunlower with lemon and rose pink low-ers, as well as zinnias, cosmos, yellow lag iris and mullein share the beds with vegetables.

She’s also growing four variet-ies of tobacco that will produce

pretty tubular lowers, similar to those on ornamental forms of tobacco (nicotiana). The leaves can be used as an ingredient in an organic pesticide.

In a shady area near the two redbuds, Taylor created a wood-land garden that displays early spring lowers including wood

poppies, Virginia bluebells, trilliums, columbines and var-iegated Solomon’s seal. Another bed holds a collection of hostas including the giant Empress Wu.

One of Taylor’s favorite plac-es to enjoy a glass of iced tea is at a wrought iron table on a brick patio next to the wood-land garden. Providing colorful blooms all summer are annuals planted in containers including two ingeniously made by turn-ing metal ile cabinets on their sides with the drawer openings facing up. Castors on the cor-ners allow them to be moved easily.

“It’s almost always shady here,” she said. Much of that shade is provided by the tower-ing branches of a huge oak tree in her neighbor’s yard. So be sure to look up when you are there to appreciate its wonderment.

Dog owners who are interested in membership at Forgey Dog Park are in-vited to register at the Ger-mantown Parks and Rec-reation oice. The oice is open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. New and returning members must complete an application and sign an insurance waiver, provide proof of residency and a copy of current pet vacci-

nation records and view a ive-minute presentation.

Resident member fees are $40 for the irst dog and $10 for each addition-al dog. Nonresidents pay a slightly higher fee to use the park. Membership is required for access to the area.

Forgey Dog Park, lo-cated at 1665 Riverdale Road, is open to mem-bers from dawn to dusk everyday. Members en-joy a secure, fenced area

Main Street Collier-ville has been designated as an accredited National Main Street Program for meeting the commercial district revitalization per-formance standards set by the National Main Street Center, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Each year, the National Main Street Center and its partners announce the list of accredited Main Street programs in recognition of their exemplary com-mitment to historic pres-ervation and community revitalization through the Main Street Four Point Approach.

“We congratulate this year’s nationally accred-ited Main Street programs for their outstanding ac-complishment in meeting the National Main Street Center’s 10 Standards of Performance,” said

Patrice Frey, president and CEO of the National Main Street Center. “As the National Main Street Center celebrates its 35th Anniversary, it is also important to celebrate the achievements of the local Main Street pro-grams across the coun-try, some of whom have been around since the beginning. These lo-cal programs work hard every day to make their communities great plac-es to work, live, play and visit while still preserving their historic character.”

The organization’s performance is annually evaluated by the Tennes-see Main Street Program, Department of Economic and Community Develop-ment of the State of Ten-nessee, which works in partnership with the Na-tional Main Street Center to identify the local pro-grams that meet 10 perfor-mance standards. These

standards set the bench-marks for measuring an individual Main Street program’s application of the Main Street Four Point Approach to commercial district revitalization. Evaluation criteria deter-mines the communities that are building com-prehensive and sustain-able revitalization eforts and include standards such as fostering strong public-private partner-ships, securing an oper-ating budget, tracking programmatic progress and actively preserving historic buildings.

“Main Street Collier-ville continues to support the heart of Collierville’s Historic District through the National Main Street Four Point Approach which helps guide us in preserving and enhanc-ing our community,” said Shannon Byers, president of Main Street Collierville board of directors.

This year, 47 people graduated from the Tennessee Basic Economic Development Course on May 6 in Nashville.

Special to The Weekly

Forty-seven economic develop-ment professionals from Tennessee and seven other states graduated from the ninth-annual Tennessee Basic Economic Development Course on May 6 in Nashville.

More than 20 expert practitioners from Tennessee and other states pre-sented topics on the fundamental concepts, tools and practices needed to succeed in a complex economic en-vironment.

These concepts included strategies for job creation and retention, devel-oping a competitive workforce, and managing economic development organizations. This year’s diverse class included Tennessee Main Street directors, chamber of commerce and other local economic and community development organization leaders, elected and appointed oicials and state and regional economic develop-ment professionals. The class also in-cluded community planners and rep-resentatives from utilities, inancing organizations, and higher education institutions.

“In this fast changing economic environment, we’re pleased to see economic development practitioners and community leaders from across

the state and the country investing in their professional development and exploring new approaches to grow-ing jobs and investment in their re-gions” said Beth Phillips, who leads UT CIS’s economic development programs. “The course covered many of the tools needed to manage an Economic Development organiza-tion such as Main Street Collierville” stated Laura Todd, executive direc-tor of the local certiied program for Collierville. TCED foundation course provided guidance in strategic plan-ning, ethics, small business develop-ment, and a valuable network.

The four day TBEDC is the founda-tion course for the Tennessee Cer-tiied Economic Developer (TCED) training program offered by the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services (UT CIS). The course is also one of 32 basic eco-nomic development courses in the country that are accredited by the International Economic Develop-ment Council.

“UT CIS is proud to ofer this train-ing in partnership with many federal, state, and regional sponsors to help build our state’s capacity to capital-ize on its economic and community development potential” Phillips ex-plained.
