Memphis-area high school students were honored for their achievements April 29 at the Republic Services Academic All-Stars Awards administered by The Com-mercial Appeal.

Awards were issued in 10 categories for excellence in academics, leadership and service at the Hilton Mem-phis Tennessee Grand Ball-room, where Gov. Bill Haslam was a featured speaker.

“My daughter has worked hard,” said Edward Norman, whose daughter, Anita, won the English & Literature award. “Some people think it comes easily. It is good for her to see the fruition of her work.”

Anita Norman could not at-tend the April 29 ceremony because she was attending the 2015 Poetry Out Loud competition in Washington, which she won in 2014.

She will graduate from Arlington High School this spring and has been accept-ed at Yale University, where she will study sociology and economics.

“We owe a great deal to the educators at Arlington High School,” Edward Norman said.

Kayla Adams was speech-less when she heard she won the Art award.

“I am so excited,” said Adams, who graduates this spring as valedictorian from Overton High School with a 4.75 grade-point average. “I was not expecting this.”

Page Robbins Adult Day Center recently held its annual Art from the Heart, one of the center’s biggest fundraisers of the year.

This year’s event was held at the Quonset in Col-lierville, and the name of the event is no accident. All works, available for both live and silent auction, were created by clients at Page Robbins.

The live auction again was handled by David Nel-son, a Page Robbins board member and past president of the center’s board of directors. This year, Nelson shared auctioneer duties with Andy Gaia, a current board member. As patrons circulated the room, many stopped to peruse items available in the evening’s silent auction.

When it was time for the live auction to begin, it was Nelson’s turn to circle the room, gently egging

Germantown Commu-nity Theatre’s newest play, “The Fox on the Fairway,” will run May 15-31 at the theater, 3037 Forest Hill Irene.

A modern farce set in the high-brow world of a golf and country club, “The Fox on the Fairway” is full of mistaken identi-ties, slammed doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans.

Written by the author of “Lend Me a Tenor,” this madcap romp will have the

audience laughing all the way to the 18th hole.

The play is the final show of GCT’s 2014-15 season. Local favorites, Wesley Barnes and Lena Wallace, lead the hilarious cast of characters.

Show times are 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. The cost is $21, $15 for se-niors and students and $10 for children 12 and under. For more information, call 901-937-3023 or visit gct-comeplay.org.

With a new high school still at least three years away, the Collierville Schools board is planning to spend $500,000 in next year’s budget for six to eight portable classrooms for the fol-lowing school year.

Supt. John Aitken called the portables a “Band-Aid” until the district solves its capacity issues with a more permanent solution — and the district is still moving forward with plans for a new, sin-gle high school for the community.

An informal community sur-vey showed a slim majority of Collierville residents don’t sup-port a large tax increase for a new high school.

Town oicials said they would defer to the school board and administration to decide how to

move forward.Aitken said the district is still

putting together a list of options, including a smaller, second high school, but is moving forward with land negotiations.

“Right now our focus is on moving forward with one high school,” he said.

Adding portable classrooms, all for the high school, is one of several new expenditures for the district going into the 2015-16 school year. Aitken presented a brief overview of next year’s

budget during a work session Tuesday night.

Board member Kevin Vaughan spoke out about the need for portable classrooms.

“The cost of doing nothing costs something, which is very disappointing,” he said.

The budget features a $3 mil-lion general fund increase — for a total of $66.5 million — over the current school year’s initial projections. Aitken said it’s not that big of an increase, however, because the district made several

adjustments throughout this year.The district is planning to add

20 teachers next year, including two special-education teachers. Nine of the regular instruction teachers are for Collierville High School.

The budget also features $720,000 for technological im-provements, including $680,000 for handheld devices for stu-dents. Aitken said the devices will be used for testing, as the state is requiring that more and more testing be done online.

Arrest made in driveway robbery

Germantown Police have arrested and charged a Memphis man in a drive-way robbery that occurred last week.

Tyrone Travis Hatha-way, 46, has been charged with one count of aggra-vated robbery, according to an aidavit. He is being held in the Shelby County jail on $100,000 bond.

Germantown police said April 27 a woman in her 70s was washing her vehi-cle in her driveway in the 1300 block of Fox Grape Cove around 10:30 a.m. when she was approached by a man who talked to her about yard work. She said he then reached into the back of her vehicle and stole her purse.

Lt. Jack Antonuk said the woman used her hose to spray the man as he started to leave, and he turned around and pointed a handgun at her. He then led in a vehicle.

According to the ai-davit, witnesses observed a silver Ford Windstar traveling westbound on Corsica at a high rate of speed. Police were able to track the vehicle to a home on South Perkins Road, the aidavit said, and Hatha-way was identiied as the driver.

No connection to two other driveway robberies and a home invasion in Germantown in January have been determined, Antonuk said.

on the bidders as Kate Kil-patrick and Lauren Harrett presented auction items to prospective bidders. By the end of the evening, all works in the live auction were snatched up.

Page Robbins Adult Day Center is an outgrowth of what started out as a sup-port group for caregiv-ers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

In September 1995, Col-lierville Alzheimer’s Day Care Center opened. The center operated out of Col-lierville Christian Church for six years.

With an increased need for the program’s services, a larger facility was required. In 2003, the Halle and Robbins fami-lies donated land to house the center’s current loca-tion on Houston Levee. At that time, the name was changed to Page Robbins Adult Day Center in honor of Julia Page Robbins.

The need for the work of Page Robbins continues, as does the need for fund-raising.

By Emily Adams KeplingerSpecial to The Weekly

The community was invited to join the fun on April 26 as Huey’s Restaurants celebrated its 45th anniversary with a block party on Madison Avenue.

From mid-afternoon into the night, partygoers spilled from the sidewalks into the street as the leg-endary restaurant provided a fes-tive atmosphere with food, drinks, giveaways and live music.

Founded in 1976 by Thomas Boggs, Huey’s has always been a family restaurant, both in terms of its customer base, as well as its management.

“Today, Huey’s is run by the Boggs family,” explained Shannon Little, marketing and events coor-dinator for Huey’s. “Lauren Boggs McHugh is CEO/president. Ashley Boggs Robilio is vice president of operations, Samantha Boggs Dean is special projects coordinator. They were taught the ropes of the restaurant business by their father, Thomas Boggs. He taught them the importance of service with a smile and giving back to the Mem-

phis community. He passed away in May 2008, but left a tremendous legacy in our city through his com-munity endeavors.”

Little added, “Thomas Boggs also made an unforgettable mark on the restaurant community. His burgers have been voted ‘Best Burger’ by Memphis Magazine every year since 1984. And Huey’s has placed in the National Res-taurant Association’s Restaurant Neighbor Award for the last ive years. The Huey’s restaurants have been featured on Travel

Channel’s ‘World’s Best/Top 10 Travel’ program and Food Net-work’s ‘The Best Of’. In addition, they are a winner of the Memphis Business Journal Small Business Award.”

After 45 years of building a reputation worthy of those ac-colades, Huey’s and its dedicated staf delighted the crowd as it lived up to its slogan of “Blues, Brews and Burgers.” And as the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Huey’s, it’s a sure bet the song ended with a heartfelt “any many more.”

Kaiser, who co-founded Gray Wolf Pictures of Mil-lington with his brother, created a short ilm called “The Clean Sneak,” which was entered into nine na-

tional ilm festivals. He was also hired to produce a video for a national play, “The Encounter.”

Johnathon Dunn of Brighton High School won the Career-Techni-cal/ROTC award. Dunn earned a 96 average or higher in all his agricul-

ture classes and has taken ive technological college classes.

Special to The Weekly

The artwork of Briar-crest art teacher, Melody Weintraub, will be featured in a solo exhibit in May at Charlotte Ehinger-Schwarz 1876, 526 S. Main. The ex-hibit, “Les Fleurs,” show-cases new work, and as the name implies, focuses on flowers. There will be a free opening reception to-day, from 6:30-9 p.m.

Weintraub has worked as a professional artist in the Memphis community for more than 30 years. Her commissioned work mainly is in watercolor, but she works in all media.

She produced a watercolor video series, “Watercolor Painting Made Easy,” and is the

author and illustrator of the children’s book, “The Little Bluebird.” She has exhibited her work in sev-eral shows throughout the city and recently in New York to benefit interna-tionally-recognized artist Faith Ringgold’s founda-tion, “Anyone Can Fly.”

Weintraub is a member of The Memphis German-town Art League and The Portrait Society of Ameri-ca. Currently, she is a mid-dle school art and theatre teacher at Briarcrest. In 2014, she was named Ten-nessee Middle School Art Educator of the Year by the Tennessee Art Educa-tion Association. She has taught art education at the University of Memphis as an adjunct and full-time instructor. Her work has been characterized as rep-resentational, yet even her floral work evokes a nar-rative quality.

Erin Lasley loves working with chil-dren at Farmington Elementary, especially when they start to read.

ERIN LASLEYFarmington Elementary, kindergarten

Q How long have you been a teach-er?

A I began teaching in January of 2003. I have always taught

kindergarten.

Q What do you like most about your job and why?

A I love seeing children begin to read. It is such an exciting

time for them and their families. As teachers, we can see that “light bulb” start turning on and it is such fun to watch them grow so much in one-year’s time.

Q What made you want to become a teacher?

A I always loved working with children. The idea of spend-

ing my day busy with little ones sounded like anything but boring.

Q What do you think students need most to succeed?

A I believe students need a strong support system from

home. Teachers tirelessly work to give students the best education. At the end of the day, the children go home and need encouragement, praise and structure from those they love the most.

Q Who do you most admire and why?

A My parents. I really cannot put in to words how much they

mean to me. My dad, Pawpaw, is the sweetest, most generous and Godly man I know. My mom, Lolli, is my best friend and does so much for my little family. I could never thank her enough.

Q What did you want to be when you grew up?

A I always wanted to be a teach-er. My grandmother was a kin-

dergarten teacher for more than 25 years. I remember playing “school” in her garage during the summers when she brought a lot of her school things home for the break.

Q Who has inspired you the most and why?

A A little boy in my class, Cart-er. I have been brought to

tears many times by his strength and struggle. He has the most lov-able and determined spirit and is blessed with an amazing support system — occupational therapist, physical therapist, nurses, doctors, FES staf and, most importantly, parents who want nothing more than for him to succeed. Carter is a true blessing and inspiration.

Q What are some of you short term and long term goals?

A Short term: Give my all every day to these 19 children in my

class, whose parents have trusted me to teach and love them. Long term: Raise my two sweet children to love the Lord and be hardwork-ing, caring members of society.

Q What is you favorite movie and book?

A I just saw “American Sniper.” It was an extremely powerful

movie. I am in awe of those who serve our country. I love the book, “What’s So Amazing About Grace” by Philip Yancy. It’s a wonderful reminder of what grace looks like in action.

Q Who is you favorite historical figure and why?

A Abraham Lincoln said, “Most folks are as happy as they

make up their minds to be,” and, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” His view of life and beliefs are what make him my favorite his-torical igure.

St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School pre-Kindergarten teacher, Kathi Davidson, is the 2015 recipient of the Albertus Magnus Award. The award, presented annually by the St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School Board of Trustees, recognizes an outstanding educator who demonstrates the four pil-lars of the Dominican charism — study, prayer, community and service.

“Kathi Davidson is the quintessential early childhood teacher,” said Kathy Boc-cia, dean of St. Agnes Academy Lower School. “She possesses the balance be-

tween her students’ needs for love and their need to grow as learners. The chil-dren respond to the structure and rou-tines in Kathi’s classroom because they feel safe in her care. She also helps the parents of her students by guiding and ad-vising them regarding the developmental stages that their children are experienc-ing.”

Davidson of Germantown has taught pre-kindergarten at SAA-SDS since 1995. A true champion for the children, she wants what is best for every child, and she is keenly in tune with the individual needs of each of her students. Kathi lives out her philosophy of education everyday in her classroom.

“I want to make sure that every child I come in contact with believes they are important to me and that I want them to be in my classroom,” Davidson said. “I want each child to learn to love school and all it has to ofer academically, socially, spiritually and emotionally.”

Parents quickly come to realize that Davidson is truly their partner in shaping their child’s future and how strongly she believes in the potential in each child. In their nomination letters, parents shared their thoughts on Davidson and her im-pact on their children.

In her 20 years at SAA-SDS, Davidson has served on numerous committees and mentored incoming teachers. Every sum-mer she teaches a variety of camps. This year she was a member of the steering committee for the Justice, Respect and Peace program, and she has been involved in the development of the Littlest Stars and Suns Program for 2-year-olds. She volunteers annually with the Gala and has served as a chairwoman for the Annual Fund. Davidson and her husband, Mike, have two children, Drew and Erin, a 2005 graduate of St. Agnes Academy.

After reviewing nearly 50 applications, the Col-lierville Literacy Council board of directors recently named Kelly Thieme as the organization’s newest executive director.

Thieme replaces long-time director Karen Ray. Ray retired at the end of March after more than 20 years with the organiza-tion.

“The board of directors is very excited to have Kel-ly Thieme in this position,” said CLC president Angie Vandenbergh. “After inter-viewing several qualiied applicants, we felt Kelly would be a great it to fur-ther the mission of the Col-lierville Literacy Council.”

Thieme is a gradu-ate of University of Mis-souri-Columbia where she earned her bachelor of science in early child-hood education. She also received her master of arts degree in literacy instruc-tion from Michigan State University, certifying her as a reading specialist.

After owning and op-erating “Teaching To-gether,” which offered instructional consulting to schools and private tu-toring, Thieme found her way to the CLC in 2009.

“I was searching with-in the community to ind a place that could use my services or that special-ized in literacy instruc-tion,” Thieme recalled. “I thought, ‘Surely there is some place that would need a reading specialist.’”

Teaching nearly a de-cade in elementary class-rooms, Thieme headed up the CLC’s literacy program for the last six years and designed instruction cur-

rently still in use for stu-dents and tutors.

Additional duties Thieme performed dur-ing her initial years at the CLC included training tutors, preparing instruc-tional plans for students, writing grants for fund-ing, assisting students from the CLC’s GED/Hi-SET and English Language Learners program, which also included guiding stu-dents in receiving testing accommodations.

“Her extensive knowl-edge in literacy educa-tion and her background in working with our tu-tors and students are tre-mendous assets to our programs,” Vandenbergh noted. “Her passion is con-tagious in her ideas for en-hancing opportunities in our community.”

Originally from Mis-souri, Thieme relocated from Syracuse to Collier-ville in 2003 with her hus-band, Jef, and their son, Adam. The couple wel-comed their second son, Joseph, later that year.

Serving as the third di-rector in the CLC’s history, Thieme said she is thrilled to lead the organization.

“I am so happy to have been chosen to steer the Collierville Literacy Coun-

cil into its next stage,” she said. “It is a place where students cannot only ind excellent instruction, but also heartfelt support and encouragement. The CLC is a true gem in Collier-ville’s crown.”

Thieme is also looking forward to partnering with Collierville businesses, clubs and organizations as the CLC continues to grow.

“In addition to our an-nual Scrabble Tourna-ment, we are excited to be partnering with the Col-lierville Rotary Club this year to host the 2015 Tour de Collierville on Sept. 5,” Thieme explained. “This fun event is a great way to get the whole community involved.”

Just weeks into her new position, Thieme is al-ready hard at work with forming the Friends of the Collierville Literacy Council.

“Starting this group is a fantastic way for us to increase awareness and support for our organiza-tion within the commu-nity,” she said. “There are individuals who would love to support the CLC and be part of what we do, but may not feel com-fortable tutoring. When you are a ‘friend’ you will have the opportunity to serve on CLC committees or give time helping with our Scrabble and Tour de Collierville fundraisers. Friends will also be noti-ied when we need man-power for special events or supplies for our organi-zation.”

Houston High school has

some gifted artists. Some of their work is on display

in the high school’s entry. The Tennessee PTA Relections Program award recipients were recognized in Chattanooga at

the Student Awards Celebration. Tara Oaks Elementary School received Awards of Merit at the celebration. Hailey Strong (left) and Vibha Durraikkannan (right) received the Award of Merit for their visual arts entries. Tripp Shivers received the Award of Merit for his literature entry. Every year the Tennessee PTA recognizes one Award of Excellence and up to three Awards of Merit from each division in each art category. The celebration honored all award recipients from across the state.

These Germantown High School students were recently inducted to the ACT 30+ Club. New members were inducted by principal Barbara Harmon on April 23 during a special brunch held in their honor. Each new member received a certiicate and a special gift from the school. The Germantown High School ACT 30+ Club now has 76 members.

On April 21, the Farmington Elementary School PTA presented Appreciation Awards and Life-time Achievement awards to G.W. Holland (left), Pearl Holland, Tracey Mewborn, Susie Heck, Leigh Sistrunk, Betsy Pillow, Anne Perry and Carolyn Stamey. Pokey Stanford (not pictured) also received an award. After many years of service, the PTA honored and thanked these “graduating” parent volunteers for their years of service.

Seniors at St. George’s Independent School worked on their global challenge project, a group activity where the students must research a global problem and present indings and solutions to a faculty committee. Lorenzo Cantu, Jack Glosson and Allie Buckmaster decided they wanted to learn more about decolonization of bees. They used SGIS parent, Leslie Schutt, as an expert, and they did extensive research. The students even visited a beekeeper’s farm. From that, they developed two plans for SGIS to help improve the plight of bees, including installing limestone and creating a pollination station on campus. They met with administrators and facility staf about the implementation of their plans.

Farmington third-grader, Khushi Patel, won irst place for grades 3-4 and grand prize in the Valero Inter-national Chil-dren’s Poster Competition. Her poster was chosen as the 2015 Children’s Poland Poster for Memphis in May.

Farmington Elementary School hosted it’s Fine Arts Night on April 21. The evening included a school-wide art exhibi-tion, includ-ing musical performances by the Guitar Club, the APEX Invention Fair and a hands-on art making activity.

What is bunco? How do you play? Is it fun?

These were some ques-tions asked by several lo-cal AuPairCare au pairs leading up to the group’s recent event.

Bunco is a dice game played by many southern ladies once a month while enjoying food, drinks and much laughter with girl-friends.

It didn’t take long for all of the au pairs to catch on to this easy, simple fun dice game. There were screams of excitement, laughter, plotting against the other team to lose, as

well as silent concentra-tion as the three dice were being tossed onto the table. Pure elation erupted when all three dice landed on the same number, which awarded the lucky roller a big bunco. At the end of the game there were sev-eral big bunco winners and a “roll of” was needed to name the winner.

Camila Gomez was named “Big Bunco” win-ner and Natalia Ardila of Colombia was the over-all bunco winner. Other wards were given during the event. Nikola Podlipna of the Czech Republic was named “Biggest Loser” and went away with a cash prize. The afternoon pro-

vided an experience none of the au pairs had ever had, and many of them hope to take this simple dice game back to their own country when they return home.

Caro Mansalve of Co-lombia, who had only been in America for two weeks prior to the party, has asked for the instruc-tions on how to play bunco because, “I would really like to take this game back home and teach my friends how to play,” Mansalve said. “This was so much fun and I am so glad I learned a new game.”

Kelcie Phillips is the area director

of AuPairCare.

Plant sale season is winding down, but for shade gardeners, it’s not over until the hosta lady sings.

She’s warming up her vocal cords and getting ready to belt out some new songs as well as the clas-sic hits Saturday at the an-nual sale and garden tour organized by members of her local fan club, the Mid-South Hosta Society.

This year, the free event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. near the Hosta Trail at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Shoppers will enter from North Gate A, where they can walk or ride to the trail.

With more than 1,400 plants and hundreds of va-rieties, you can ind a hosta in any size, leaf color and texture you could want.

They range from the spectacularly huge char-treuse Sum and Substance to Mini Skirt, a hard-to-ind petite pleasure with wide ruled leaves bordered in white cream. In the sum-mer, it’s topped with 8-inch spikes of lavender lowers.

You’ll also ind a selec-tion of outstanding plants that have been named “Hosta of the Year” by the American Hosta Society.

Victory, the 2015 desig-nee, is classiied as a “gi-ant” that reaches about 2 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity. Its stur-dy gray-green leaves with light yellow edges are de-scribed as “corrugated.”

Other worthy HoYs at the sale that do well in our climate are June, Blue Mouse Ears, Halcyon, Great Expectations, Kros-

sa Regal, Lakeside Cup-cake and Golden Tiara.

New hosta hotties for purchase include Out-house Delight, Wheee! and the miniature Curly Fries, the 2016 HoY that has nar-row chartreuse leaves that wiggle and ripple to form a clump 16 inches wide but just 6 inches tall.

It’s best to arrive early with a list that catego-rizes your choices by leaf colors — blue, gold, green and variegated — because that’s how they will be ar-ranged. Minis and HoYs will be in their areas.

Snag your must-haves irst, and then give yourself time for impulse shopping.

Then be sure to take a stroll on the hosta trail, where you will see more than 500 labeled hostas, most of them mature spec-imens though not quite at the full growth they will realize by July.

This impressive garden was one of only 23 National Display Gardens certiied by the American Hosta Society in 2006, just seven years after the founding of the local group.

Its collection of minia-tures is easy to study be-cause the plants have been placed in a bed raised a couple of feet from the ground. We senior gar-deners are happy to ofer

a standing ovation for that!You also will see how

hostas can be integrated with other shade-loving plants such as hydran-geas, hardy ferns, azaleas, sedums and others planted on the trail.

If you are new to gar-dening with hostas, you will want to seek advice from the experts on hand.

MOSQUITO CONTROLIt doesn’t seem possible,

but we could have below-average rainfall for the year and for April.

Spring seemed much more rainy than usual, but by April 29 rainfall for the month was about 2 inches below average. The year-to-date total was about 4 inches below the average.

But frequent rains have turned low, poorly drained places into shallow lakes that are breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

We may think of mos-quitoes as nocturnal pests, but they actually feed at dusk and dawn, as we early morning gardeners know too well.

Dr. John Guyton, an entomologist and plant pathologist at Mississippi State University, dispelled myths surrounding mos-quito control during a talk given in early April at the Home & Garden Show in New Albany, Miss.

Mosquitoes, he said, are attracted to the carbon dioxide we breathe out, funky odors that may arise from poor bathing habits, sweat and other moisture, and the motion of moving objects like us.

Electric bug-zapping de-

vices attract more mosqui-toes to your yard than they kill and also annihilate lots of beneicial bugs.

So clearly we can’t stand perfectly still, stay perfect-ly clean or avoid sweating and breathing.

But here are some deter-rents cited by Guyton:

■ Put holes in the bot-tom of garbage cans so liq-uids will drain out.

■ Keep gutters clean and free-lowing.

■ Improve drainage in places that regularly hold water.

■ Make sure water moves in ornamental wa-ter features by equipping them with recirculating pumps and/or fountains.

■ Keep weeds closely cut. Mosquitoes like to hide in them.

Guyton, who runs a “bug camp” for adults and children every summer, keeps mosquitoes away from his body by wearing long pants, long sleeves, closed-toe shoes and socks and a hat with an optional inely meshed veil.

He sprays an insect re-pellent containing 100 percent DEET on his shirt cufs, other parts of his clothing and the backs of his hands. It should be done only in a well-ventilated place such as the outdoors.

This summer, he’s go-ing to try a repellent con-taining picaridin, which is derived from a plant in the same family as the one that produces the black pepper we use to season our food.

It has been proven to be efective by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as have repel-lents made with lemon and eucalyptus oils.

Guyton’s favorite mos-quito deterrent for outdoor patios and decks equipped with electricity is a big fan.

Mosquitoes, it seems, don’t like windy places.

By David [email protected]

Of playof basketball and bears on the prowl, men of letters and movie references ...

A: Ajax. The toughest member of the namesake gang in the 1979 ilm “The Warriors.” Known for his toughness and ighting skills. Named for the mythical Greek hero, who himself was feared for his strength, ierce bearing and battle wiles. Sounds more like a Grizzly.

B: Believe Memphis.C: California, the Golden

State. Home of the Golden State Warriors — and a state lag that is, alas, cooler than ours, and every other state’s lag, aside from maybe Ari-zona and Maryland. But why is the California lag so cool? Because of the awesome griz-zly bear that is its primary feature.

D: Dave Joerger. A year ago about this time, amid a front-office shake-up, it looked like Joerger might leave the Memphis head coaching job for the same gig with the woeful Minnesota Timber-wolves, and our columnist, Geof Calkins, was writing:

Look at the bright side: The Grizzlies may be able to be save money on halftime acts next season. Who needs a woman juggling bowls on a unicycle when the entire op-eration is a clown show?

See Robert Pera, the owner who thinks he can beat his players and Michael Jordan one-on-one!

See the third head coach in three years!

And for the grand finale: See a strong, vibrant fran-chise disappear before your very eyes!

The latest bit of clownish-ness involves Dave Joerger, the highly successful head coach who replaced the last highly successful head coach, and has been given permission to interview for the Minnesota Timberwolves head coach-ing job.

Yes, the same Joerger who was dispatched to radio sta-tions Tuesday to tell people that nothing was changing, he was certainly the head coach going forward, this tumult didn’t involve him.

E: Ex-Spartans in a power forward matchup you don’t have to be a Michigan State alum to love: Zach Randolph vs. Draymond Green.

F: Faulkner, William. An occasional letter writer, in his day, to this very newspa-per, and a legendary author whose most famous works includes a long story titled “The Bear.” Read this ex-cerpt and — bear with me here — see if it doesn’t work as a treatise on the Grizzlies’ throwback, ground-and-pound style of play in an NBA age of swish and splash:

It ran in his knowledge be-fore he ever saw it. It loomed and towered in his dreams be-fore he even saw the unaxed woods where it left its crooked print, shaggy, tremendous, red-eyed, not malevolent but just big, too big for the dogs which tried to bay it, for the horses which tried to ride it down, for the men and the bul-lets they fired into it; too big for the very country which was its con-stricting s c o p e . It was as if the boy had a l r e a d y d i v i n e d what his senses and intellect had not encom- p a s s e d yet: that doomed wilderness whose edges were being con-stantly and punily gnawed at by men with plows and axes who feared it because it was

wilderness, men myriad and nameless even to one anoth-er in the land where the old bear had earned a name, and through which ran not even a mortal beast but an anach-ronism indomitable and in-vincible out of an old dead time, a phantom, epitome and apotheosis of the old wild life which the little puny humans swarmed and hacked at in a fury of abhorrence and fear like pygmies about the ankles of a drowsing elephant; — the old bear, solitary, indomitable and alone ...

G: Grit. Grind.H: Heart, all.I: “Indomitable and in-

vincible,” a repeat from the Faulkner excerpt above, just in case your eyes were glaz-ing over before you got that deep in.

J: Joe Walsh. A Memphian, for a while in the mid-1980s. His song “In the City” is the one you remember most from “The Warriors” soundtrack.

K: Kelly, David Patrick, actor. As Luther, Warlord of the Rogues, he shouted that iconic movie line, “Warr-i-ors, come out to play-i-ay.”

L: Leaning Jumper of M e m - phis. That thing

Beno Udrih does.M: Monarch.

The name of the real-life inspi-ration for the grizzly bear on Califor-nia’s state lag. Here’s the sto-ry, according

to Wikipedia: “The bear on the current

lag of California is claimed to have been modeled on the last Californian grizzly bear in captivity. The bear, named ‘Monarch,’ was captured in 1889 by newspaper reporter

Allen Kelley, at the behest of William Randolph Hearst. The bear was subsequently moved to Woodwards Gar-dens in San Francisco, and then to the zoo at Golden Gate Park. After the bear’s death in 1911, it was mounted and pre-served at the Academy of Sci-ences at Golden Gate Park.”

In Memphis, of course, bears are plentiful and free to roam at will, though they seem most at home in the paint.

N: Nine. Shots made, in 25 attempts, by Stephen Curry

when the Grizzlies beat the Warriors, 105-98, in FedEx-Forum on Dec. 16. He was 1 of 10 on 3-pointers.

O: Old Ben, the bear in Faulkner’s story.

P: Poier, Don. Let’s pause a moment to remember the beloved Griz announcer who died suddenly, of an apparent heart attack, 10 years ago. His trademark catchphrase — “Only in the movies and in Memphis” — lives on.

Q: Q scores, a measure of celebrity likability and aware-ness, used by companies

seeking product endorsers. Golden State star Stephen Curry has a score of 26 among sports fans, according to The Q Scores Co. That’s third-best for NBA players and higher than LeBron James.

No word on who has the highest Q score here in the land of the Griz. Probably Bongo Lady.

R: Rembrandt. A member of The Warriors, in the ilm of the same name. A charac-ter bio on imdb.com calls him “the youngest and least battle-hardened” of the gang, valuable mostly as a graiti artist. But, like a young player who devel-ops over the course of a season to become a true postseason contributor, the site notes, “He proved to be a capable ighter, however, against The Punks and used his paint to spray them in the eyes. He is named after the Dutch painter.”

S: Splash Brothers. Nick-name for Golden State guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who ranked third and fourth in the NBA regu-lar season in 3-point shoot-ing accuracy at 44.3 and 43.9 percent. They combined to make more 3-pointers than the entire Grizzlies team — by more than 100.

T: Thabeet, Hasheem. No. 2 overall pick of the 2009 NBA draft, by Memphis.

U: Ugh. In lieu of outright cursing, a family-friendly exclamation when consider-ing the Grizzlies could have picked James Harden (No. 3), Tyreke Evans (No. 4) or Steph Curry (No. 7) that year.

V: Vermin, co-founder of The Warriors. The ictional movie gang, not the NBA franchise.

W: Warrior. Not one from the movie or from Golden State. The Grizzlies’ Mike Conley, playing point guard on one good foot — only to have his face fractured by an errant elbow.

X: Xenophon. A Greek histo-rian and soldier. See “Y.”

Y: Yurick, Sol. Author of the novel “The Wa r r i o r s , ” on which the movie was based. From imdb.com: “Ostensibly about city gangs, it was actually based on the Greek history known as ‘Anabasis,’ writ-ten by Athens’ Xenophon in 4th century B.C. It tells of the long, adventurous trek home of Greek mercenaries, after their leader, Cyrus the Younger, is killed during the war against Persia.”

Z: Zach Randolph. The em-bodiment of a franchise, on the court. A civic hero, of it. Sage purveyor of such truths and wisdom as “I don’t bluf” and “We in the mud.” Speak-ing of warriors ...

HANDOUT PHOTO

A 1979 movie, “The Warriors” featured moody but fashion-conscious gang members who would defend their territory like a bear defending its cubs. Hey, come to think of it, these Warriors seem more suited to being part of the Grit-and-Grind gang.

NIKKI BOERTMAN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

While Tony Allen is the Grindfather, there is no doubt Zach Randolph is the Papa Bear, and when Z-Bo smiles like that, it makes all of Memphis believe.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES

Who knew Oxford, Miss., novelist William Faulkner was a Grizzlies fan? His famous story “The Bear” appears to have been an ode to the Grizzlies’ throwback ground-and-pound style of play.

GIVING BACK

Girl Scouts turn to Corporate Cookie sale after bad weatherBy Jeremy C. ParkSpecial to The Weekly

For nonproits relying on nice weather for fund-raising events and eforts, it has been a challenging start to the year.

One organization af-fected is Girl Scouts Heart of the South, which orders extra cases of Girl Scout cookies for its troops to sell at grocery stores and retail outlets. With the cookies only being avail-able once a year and all proceeds beneiting our local council, cookies are a powerful fundraiser and critical to the organiza-tion’s ability to provide programming for youth. Unfortunately, with the diicult weather, the girls were not able to get out and sell cookies, so the organization has about 42,000 boxes that need to be sold.

As a result, they’re hold-ing a Corporate Cookie Sale during which busi-nesses can purchase cook-ies at a discounted price of $3.50 a box (regularly $4). Cookies are a tasty way to say “Good job” to your employees and make

p e r f e c t c u s to m e r giveaways and client thank-you gifts. To take advan-tage of this opportuni-ty, call 901-334-3450 or

e-mail Kimberly Crafton at Kimberly. [email protected].

If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift, give Mom some Girl Scout cookies. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the parking lot across from ShowPlace Arena at the Agricenter, you can join Girl Scouts, the Mid-South Food Bank, Mem-phis Union Mission, and irst responders to “Do A Good Turn.” You’ll be able to buy Girl Scout cookies in pairs of boxes. Give a box to Mom and donate the other to one of the nonproit groups working with Girl Scouts. You’ll re-ceive a card that lets Mom know about your generous gift to others in her name.

Jeremy C. Park is president of

Lipscomb Pitts Breakfast Club.

Special to The Weekly

For the past year, Ally Coyle, a senior at Ger-mantown High School, has represented Shelby County as a member of Distinguished Young Women of Tennessee. She heads to Florida State University in the fall to study interior design and business.

Last July, Coyle traveled with her family to Cleve-land, Tenn., to represent the area at the state pro-gram. She won a scholas-tics award, as well as an audience choice award.

Eleven young ladies have attended interest meetings, read e-mails and heard about the Dis-tinguished Young Women of Tennessee Scholarship Program through counsel-ors and teachers.

These 11 women from the Greater Memphis area recently participated in the West Tennessee Dis-tinguished Young Women At-Large program to qual-ify for a shot at the state scholarship.

The Class of 2016 com-peted in five categories to attain a benchmark score and qualify for state. The

categories were scho-lastics, interview, self-expression, talent and fitness. They were scored by a panel of four judges.

The state winner will travel to Mobile, Ala., in June 2016 to participate in personal development activities and commu-nity service projects, before competing with representatives from the other 49 states for the opportunity to become the Distinguished Young Woman of America for 2015 and a share of more than $125,000 in scholar-ships.

My mother removes the skin when she eats chick-en. She’s now 96 years old.

I wouldn’t dream of not eating the skin on the Sweet Tea Chicken at In-terim Restaurant & Bar.

“That’s the best part,” said Interim’s morning sous chef, Phillip Harris, who came up with the recipe.

The taste of molasses from the brown sugar used in the brine is so delicious I ate just about every bit of the skin after ordering the chicken re-cently at lunch. Sweet Tea Chicken, which used to be a lunchtime special, was added to the daily lunch menu because it was so popular, Harris said. The half-chicken sells for $16,

but it’s like eating dinner. It comes with arugula, green beans and mashed potatoes. I also ordered sweet tea, which had just the right amount of sweet-ness.

Harris soaks the chicken in a brine made of brown sugar, salt, ive oranges, 10 lemons, a few bay leaves and ive tea bags. After he removes the roasted chicken from the oven, he adds a mixture of tea, sugar and whole grain mustard.

The meat has a slightly sweet taste, which I really liked. I broke up pieces of the skin and ate it with the meat to get a more intense sweet and savory efect.

Chefs Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman, owners of the restaurant trinity of Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Hog & Hominy and Porcellino’s

Craft Butcher, were at In-terim while I was there. Their whole table ordered the Sweet Tea Chicken.

“It tastes like sweet tea,” Ticer said. “It was tasty. It was really good. It paired perfectly with my iced tea.”

“I like the glaze,” Hud-man said. “I thought that was kind of a nice touch. I liked how it teetered be-tween sweet and savory. It wasn’t too sweet. You kind of get worried about getting a glaze too sweet. I thought they nailed that.”

Asked how he came up with sweet tea as an ingredient, Harris said, “It’s a Southern thing. My grandmother would love it.”

So would my mother.

Dear Miss Manners: What is the best way to get one’s needs attended to in a restaurant? I have known people to rattle sil-verware in a glass if being ignored by wait staf, but that seems demanding and disruptive.

The person who deliv-ered our dessert, besides not bringing silverware, evidently didn’t un-derstand my husband’s friendly, “Now we just need something to eat it with.” Our waitperson was out of sight, and all other employees ignored waves and attempts to get their attention.

I inally got up and ap-proached the hostess, who was in conversation with another employee, and whom I may have ofend-ed by gently touching her shoulder as I said “Excuse

me” and asked if we could please have some spoons for our dessert.

It had been an unappe-tizing and annoying wait while we hoped silverware would appear, and I felt I was intruding when I i-nally made my request.

Gentle Reader: It is in-deed rude to bang on the tableware in hopes of at-tracting attention. Miss Manners supports your direct appeal to the host-ess, although she does not share your judgment that sarcasm directed at serv-ers is properly character-ized as friendly behavior.

Dear Miss Manners: A very good friend is get-ting married shortly and is planning a reception for approximately 75 of the couple’s family and closest friends. The food will be served bufet-style where guests will serve themselves and then sit at tables to eat.

Two of the tables have

reserved seating for the “most important” — ev-eryone else is to seat themselves. We will be seated for approximately one hour.

I have suggested to my friend that she might make her guests more comfortable if she were to plan a seating arrange-ment, but she is adamant-ly against it, saying that everyone can sort them-selves out.

Do you agree that as-signed seating in this case would be a good idea, and if so, am I doing my friend a favor in suggesting it again? Or should I butt out? Many of the guests will be coming without a partner, if that makes any diference.

And in case you are wondering, I am at one of the assigned tables.

Gentle Reader: But were you assigned to push your own ideas after they were rejected?

The unfortunate Jabez Stone, having bargained un-wisely with Mephistopheles, appealed to the great orator Daniel Webster for help.

“Let us play bridge for Stone’s soul,” Webster pro-posed to Meph, “one rubber, winner take all.”

“Done,” Meph snapped, conjuring up Faust to be his partner.

Both sides made a game, so Stone’s fate depended on today’s deal, with Webster the declarer at 3NT. Faust, West, led the jack of hearts.

Webster played low from dummy and took his ace: He didn’t need to try winning a trick with the queen yet. He led a diamond to dummy’s ten, and Mephistopheles, East, played low smoothly. So Web-ster led a spade to his hand and led a second diamond to the jack ... and Meph played low.

Webster knew that the Devil proffers temptation only for a reason, but he came back to his hand with a spade and led a third diamond to the queen ... and Meph produced the king!

“You don’t know enough to count your tricks?” East said with a leer. “After you won a second diamond finesse, you had nine of them.”

Webster turned beet red at his blind spot, but he resolved not to give up. East shifted to the queen of clubs, and Web-ster took the A-K, cashed his third spade and exited with a club. Mephistopheles could take two clubs and the king of hearts but then, twitching his fiery tail in frustration, he had to concede the 13th trick to the queen of hearts.

“Making game and win-ning the rubber,” Webster exclaimed in triumph.

(Apologies to Stephen Vin-cent Benet.)

Dear Harriette: I’m writing because of the woman from Denver whose daughter has body odor at age 8. This is a serious condition. She needs to immediately see a pediatric endocrinolo-gist, who can evaluate the daughter. I know this because my niece had body odor at age 5, and her pediatrician kept say-ing she would outgrow it. Well, finally when she was age 7, I learned about precocious puberty and was told she should see a pediatric endocrinolo-gist. I told this to her par-ents, who took my advice. They had to drive from Pullman, Washington, to Seattle, as there wasn’t one where they lived. If it goes untreated, the child will not develop nor-mally: She could experi-ence facial hair, stunted growth and other bizarre e�ects.

— Alarmed, Salt Lake City

Answer: Thank you for sharing your wisdom on this topic. I suspect that many people have not heard of this. I learned

that pediatric endocri-nologists specialize in hormonal disorders. The following signs in chil-dren should be red flags that say you need this type of doctor: growth problems such as short stature, early or delayed puberty, enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), underac-tive or overactive thyroid gland, pituitary gland hypo- or hyperfunction, adrenal gland hypo- or hyperfunction, ambigu-ous genitals or intersex, ovarian or testicular dys-function, diabetes, low blood sugar, obesity or problems with Vitamin D (rickets, hypocalcemia).

Precocious puberty can be serious issue if untreated

Today’s birthdayThis year your ability to see both sides of an issue helps you negotiate solutions. Oth-ers have difficulty with the same situation. If you are single, you could go through potential sweeties quickly. If you are attached, you will de-velop a greater sense of con-nection. Come fall, the two of you might opt to take the next step. SCORPIO can be venge-ful and vindictive.

Sudoku

Dear Annie: My hus-band graduated from a very prestigious art col-lege. Early in his career, he gave away some paint-ings to close friends and family members.

Recently, he did a beautiful portrait for a family member who insisted on paying my husband. He happily agreed and quoted them a reasonable price. They told my husband they would get a check to him soon.

It’s been more than six months, and they haven’t paid a penny. It burns us up to see this piece of art displayed in their home. We know it was probably a mistake to give away his early paintings, but he is trying to rectify this.

My husband doesn’t know how to confront this family member with-out causing a rift. Help.

— Artist’s Wife

Dear Wife: If your hus-band plans to earn a liv-ing with his art, he needs to stop allowing others to take advantage of him. He should send this family member a “bill,” saying he hopes they like the painting, that he has enjoyed seeing it in their home, and that he is look-ing forward to receiving the check for his first paid commission. He should remind them of the amount they agreed to, and ask whether they’d like to pay it by check, cash or an online trans-fer. And in the future, he should not turn over a piece of artwork until he has received payment in full. Otherwise, he will be giving very nice gifts.

Dear Annie: Here’s more on phone scam-mers: Beware of those claiming to be from “Windows” or something similar. Windows is a product, not a company. The scammers will get control of your hard drive and install a virus. Then they will con you into giving them a credit card number to install an antivirus. Your computer will be wrecked.

The bottom line is: Don’t ever give access to your computer or credit card numbers over the phone unless you initi-ated the call.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Here’s what I’ve heard referred to as the Hurewitz Memory Principle: “The chance of forgetting something is directly proportional to ... to ... uh ... er ...”

It’s amazing how players can forget an auction from only a few seconds earlier. Today’s South landed at four hearts. In my view, he overbid and North under-bid. South ru�ed the third spade, drew trumps and led a diamond to dummy’s jack.

East took the king and led another spade, and South ru�ed with his last trump, cashed his club winners and tried a second diamond finesse. East’s queen won the setting trick.

DIAMOND HONORS South must have forgotten the bid-

ding. East, who had opened, was a heavy favorite to hold both diamond honors, especially after West had the jack of spades.

South should try for a “partial elimi-nation.” He ru�s the third spade, takes two high trumps and three high clubs,

then leads a diamond to the jack. When East wins, he must lead a spade, conced-ing a ru�-slu�, or return a diamond to dummy.

Questions and comments: Email Stewart at [email protected]

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Your creativity outwits any hassle presented at the moment. You will assume the lead and remain positive, no matter what comes up.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)★★★★ You might be taking others’ com-ments personally, but know that their words are not directed at you. Try not to take oth-ers on or be provocative, if possible.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★ You might be sitting on a di�cult situ-ation only to see yet another problem arise from out of nowhere. You can hold in your frustration for only so long. Your creativity will come forth if you just relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)★★★★ Tap into your creativity when decid-ing how to approach an emotional situation. As you toy with di�erent ideas, you’ll see multiple possibilities.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★★ Getting back to basics will become more and more important when trying to find a solution. You also can try exploring new options.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)★★★★ You could be tired of a negative pat-tern and will be ready to try a new approach. You might experience some reluctance, but ultimately you have nothing to lose. You are coming from a strong foundation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ You might want to enter a new phase and move toward a more positive change. A partner could have a very strong opinion, and likely will want to convince you that he or she is right.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★★ You’ll be on top of a problem and will be willing to follow through on certain priorities. You might be changing your opin-ions as a result of having more discussions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Your instincts don’t always guide you through problems, but you would be well advised to follow them now. A mental alarm could be more important than you realize.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★ You easily could make a choice that seems right at first, but then question it later. Slow down some but also follow your feel-ings. A loved one seems determined to have your attention.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★ How you see a situation could change radically if you would just relax. However, you might be so determined to have a matter play out the way you want it to that you lose sight of the big picture.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You could notice a certain amount of division over recent ideas. You might be taken aback by what is happening around you. Kick impulsiveness to the wayside.

Horoscope

This year you have unusually high energy, which could backfire at any moment. If you don’t get what you want out of a situation, you might explode in anger. Dealing with oppo-sition often becomes very difficult. Learn to listen and weigh different opinions. You seem to make excel-lent choices involving your home and real estate. If you are single, your tumultuous nature could push away someone who normally would be an excellent choice for you. You will tend to attract opposites this year. If you are attached, your sig-nificant other might be taken aback by your irritability. Try to tame this

MY ANSWER

If you know Christ, seek to be like him

Q: Several of my friends are active church types, but I can’t see that it makes any di�erence in the way they live. How do you explain this? I don’t think they’re any better than I am.

— C. McK.

A: If someone is sincerely committed to Jesus Christ, it will make a di�er-ence in the way he or she lives. It may only be in small ways at first, but over time that person’s life will be di�erent because Christ now lives within them. The Bible says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Only God knows, of course, whether or not your friends have truly believed in Christ. However, the Bible warns us against claiming we are following Christ, when in reality we aren’t. We may claim to be Christians... we may say we’re try-ing to live by the Ten Commandments or

the Sermon on the Mount... we even may be active in a church, but we’ve never al-lowed Christ to take control of our lives. The Bible warns, “Faith without deeds is dead” (James 2:26).

Don’t reject Christ because of those who claim to be his followers but deny it by the way they live. Instead, look hon-estly at Christ, and when you do, you’ll discover what he has done to forgive you and make you part of his family forever. God loves you, and Christ died to save you, and once you understand this, you will want to commit your life to him — and your life will never be the same.

Christians aren’t perfect, nor will we be until God takes us to heaven. But if we know Christ, we’ll want to become more like him every day. Don’t let pride, or anything else, keep you from giving your life to him.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could have quite a reaction to what is happening. Make it a point to stop and have a discussion before proceeding any further. Take charge if need be. You know how to execute a goal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You’ll relate di-rectly to a loved one. You might not be exactly sure of what you need, but after a discussion, you will gain clarity. Detach, make several important goals and relect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might decide to let others dominate. You love to guide conversations and be listened to, but sit on that need for now. Observe others’ styles of conversing and making sug-gestions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH A partner or several people around you might have very diferent ideas. Make that OK, but be willing to blaze a new path and not worry for a change about everyone else’s reactions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You have energy and creativity, but you might be pushing into an area that you probably would prefer not to have to deal with. Stop and look at what you need or want to take on. Pace yourself; sched-ule some time just for fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Decide to approach a situation diferently. You tend to stay with the tried and true be-cause of the comfort. Someone might ofer his or her support as you move in a new direction. You could be quite pleased by em-bracing a new habit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep moving forward. Honor a change, and be more forthright about what you feel. Sometimes your need to be diplomatic prevents you from claiming your power. Stop and rethink your approach. Remem-ber to be diplomatic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You are likely to tell it like it is. Whatever direction you choose to head in, you’ll succeed. Honor a change, and listen to feedback from others. Detach from a problematic situ-ation, and you will see what is

happening behind the scenes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to come to terms with a inancial matter or perhaps re-vise your budget. You probably won’t be comfortable with what you are seeing. Give yourself the time and space to handle this basic issue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Beam in what you want, as the universe lashes a green light in your direction. Do not hesitate; just go of and pursue your heart’s desire. Oth-ers might be surprised by what goes down as you race full speed ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Be willing to observe rather than blindly trust some-one’s words. You will gain a clearer insight into what might be possible. Honor a change in yourself. The result could be more dynamic than you realize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Someone you meet today might be seem-ingly cool and collected, but he or she probably is extremely emotional. Zero in on an impor-tant project or goal that you can complete by the weekend.

FOSTER CITY, Calif. — Never lack-ing daring ideas, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is determined to jolt the electric-ity market.

The CEO of electric car-maker Tesla Motors hopes to park hundreds of millions of large, solar panel-connected batteries in homes and busi-nesses so the world can dis-connect from power plants — and he can proit.

And, on April 30, Musk took the stage at Tesla’s design stu-dio near Los Angeles Interna-tional Airport to unveil how he intends to do it.

“Our goal here is to funda-mentally change the way the world uses energy,” Musk told reporters gathered in Haw-thorne, California.

Although Tesla will make the battery called “Power-wall,” it will be sold by a va-riety of other companies. The list of partners includes SolarCity, a solar installer founded by Musk’s cousins, Lyndon and Peter Rive. Musk is SolarCity’s chairman and largest shareholder.

As with Tesla’s electric cars, which start around $70,000, the battery might be too ex-pensive for most consumers. The system will carry a sug-gested price of $3,000-3,500, depending on capacity. Instal-lation will be extra. That could discourage widespread adop-tion, especially for a product that may only have limited use.

“I don’t believe this product in its irst incarnation will be interesting to the average per-son,” conceded Peter Rive, So-larCity’s chief technology oi-cer. Rive, though, still expects there to be enough demand to substantially increase the number of batteries in homes.

Musk is so encouraged by the initial demand he be-lieves Tesla and other future entrants in the market will

be able to sell 2 billion bat-tery packs around the world — roughly the same number of vehicles already on roads. Although that may sound like a “super crazy” goal, Musk in-sisted it “is within the power of humanity to do.”

Tesla hopes to begin ship-ping a limited number of Pow-erwall batteries this summer in the U.S. before expanding internationally next year.

The long-term goal is to re-duce the world’s reliance on energy generated from fossil fuels while creating regional networks of home batteries that could be controlled as if they were a power plant.

For now, the battery pri-marily serves as an expensive backup system during black-outs for customers like David Cunningham, an aerospace engineer from Foster City, Ca-lif. He installed a Tesla battery

late last year to pair with his solar panels as part of a pilot program run by the California Public Utilities Commission to test home battery perfor-mance.

Although Cunningham’s home has not endured a black-out yet, it’s capable of running critical home appliances like lights and refrigeration.

“As long as a person has solar panels, it’s just a natural it for the two to go together,” Cunningham said. “I consider it to be a whole power system right here in my home.”

Cunningham took advan-tage of state incentives that reduced the battery’s $18,300 sticker price. He still paid $7,500.

“The value proposition now is around reliability and backup power more than it is around savings, but over time that may change,” said Shayle

Kann, an analyst at GTM Re-search.

The batteries are likely to become more useful if, as expected, more utilities and regulators allow power prices to change throughout the day based on market conditions. That way, the software that controls the solar and battery system will allow customers to use their home-generated power — and not expensive grid power — when grid pric-es spike.

Many commercial cus-tomers already buy power this way, and Tesla also an-nounced battery systems designed for them, along with bigger battery packs that utilities can use to man-age their grids. Analysts say these utility and commercial markets will probably be more promising for Tesla during the next few years than residential customers.

Several businesses, includ-ing Amazon.com and Target, plan to use Tesla’s battery stor-age system on a limited basis. Southern California Edison already is using Tesla batter-ies to store energy.

Tesla is building a factory in Nevada that will begin churn-ing out batteries in 2017, so Musk needs to begin drum-ming up customers now. The spotlight may help Musk push policymakers and utilities to consider reshaping regula-tions so solar and battery storage could be more easily incorporated into the larger electric system, Kann said.

Tesla’s ambitions already have intrigued homeowners like Mike Thielen, who in-stalled a prototype with So-larCity panels on his Redondo Beach, Calif., home last year. Although he hasn’t needed the backup power yet, he has em-braced the concept.

“I think it’s brilliant,” he said. “I would consider up-grading to a more powerful home battery if they could ig-ure out a way to get me totally of the grid.”

Thanks to an automated ro-botic telescope, scientists have spotted three new super-Earths in our cosmic backyard. The planets orbit a star just 54 light years away. They are described in a paper recently published by the Astrophysical Journal.

The innermost planet was discovered using the Keck Ob-servatory back in 2009. But now researchers have completed the

star system, using years of data to put all three planets into place. Like other exoplanets, they were detected by way of their inlu-ence on their host star — their gravity makes the star, called HD 7924, wobble, and scientists can use that to calculate the size and orbits of the planets.

“The three planets are unlike anything in our solar system, with masses 7-8 times the mass of Earth and orbits that take them very close to their host star,” University of California at Berkeley graduate student Lauren Weiss said in a statement.

The University of California Observatories team, which took on a year-and-a-half-long cam-

paign to supplement the Keck’s data and conirm these planets, credited their Automated Planet Finder for speeding up their work.

The APF is a telescope pro-grammed to hunt for planets any

night the weather is clear, dra-matically upping the amount of data scientists have to work with.

“We initially used APF like a regular telescope, staying up all night searching star to star. But

the idea of letting a computer take the graveyard shift was more ap-pealing after months of little sleep. So we wrote software to replace ourselves with a robot,” said University of Hawaii gradu-ate student, BJ Fulton.

Unlike the planets found by the Kepler Space Telescope (which now number in the thou-sands), these “Earth-like” plan-ets are relatively close by. As part of his graduate research, Fulton plans to use APF to con-tinue mapping near-Earth rocky planets. After a two-year survey, he expects to have a census of all the small planets orbiting stars like our own sun within 100 light years of home.

St. Louis — The two 3-by-1-inch glass chips held the unfathom-able amount of genetic infor-mation contained in 16 human genomes. Last week, a techni-cian placed the chips — called low cells — in a new genetic sequencing machine at the Genome Institute at Wash-ington University and closed the door.

In three days, the task will be complete.

It’s mind-boggling given it took scientists working all over the world more than 10 years and $1 billion to irst se-quence the human genome, a feat declared complete in 2003.

This ultra-fast sequencing machine, which hit the mar-ket last year, is sold in groups of 10 — a system capable of sequencing 18,000 human genomes a year at just $1,000 to $1,500 per genome.

Washington University’s Genome Institute is receiving its 10th HiSeq X machine, each one costing $1 million.

The massive increase in speed and drop in cost of se-quencing allows scientists to take on studies of unprec-edented scale, which is neces-sary to make the conclusions and discoveries about human disease that doctors can put into practice with personal-ized treatments.

“We have an opportunity to push genomics into the clinic and understand what causes disease and ultimately learn how to predict disease,” said Rick Wilson, director of the Genome Institute.

What in our genes causes us to have arthritis, diabetes or a cancer that doesn’t respond to treatment? To uncover the an-swers in the 6 billion bases of DNA that make up the human genome requires sequencing populations.

“If you have 10,000 people with Alzheimer’s and 10,000 people who never, never showed signs of the disease, the idea is that you could se-quence both those groups and learn something about Al-zheimer’s,” Wilson explained. “Because every human is dif-ferent from every other hu-man, you can’t do that with just ive people with Alzheim-er’s and ive people without. You won’t have enough data to pinpoint the diferences.”

The $10 million price also ensures that only institutions equipped with the expertise to decipher and store the data are sitting at the high-stakes poker table of genomics. The Genome Institute is one of seven laboratories in the U.S. that have the HiSeq X Ten and one of 20 worldwide.

The Genome Institute was a key player in the Human Ge-nome Project, contributing 25 percent of the blueprint, and quadrupling the speed of se-quencing by developing a way to identify the four bases that make up DNA with luores-cent dye and lasers. In 2008, the institute was the irst to sequence the cancer genome of a leukemia patient and since has sequenced 750 pediatric cancer patients, leading to dis-coveries in 22 types of cancer.

Community

By Beth ReedSpecial to The Weekly

Germantown Baptist Church recently hosted the second annual Missional Marketplace Summit. The Summit brought together leaders and experts from various market sectors. The purpose of the summit is to equip men and women toward a greater expression of faith in the marketplace.

The summit commenced with keynote speaker, Todd Starnes.

Starnes, the award win-ning host of Fox News &

Commentary, shared his passion for religious liber-ty in America. Starnes was followed by Keith Norman, who serves as vice presi-dent of Government Afairs for Baptist Memorial Health Care. Norman delivered a wonderfully inspiring mes-sage to summit attendees. Each attendee was encour-aged to embrace the reality of being “the right person at the right time.”

The entire weekend was illed with motivational and practical messages from both business leaders and pastoral leaders. As a gift

to the community, GBC has ofered each session online at missionalmarketplace.com. Feel free to visit the website, peruse the topics and download any topics of particular interest.

The newest feature of the annual conference was a marketplace shopping expe-rience. Various handcrafted items from across the globe were ofered for sale. Pro-ceeds from the sales are poured back in to interna-tional mission endeavors.

Beth Reed is director of women’s min-

istry at Germantown Baptist Church.
