Henry Hubert Weaver Jr. has been resting in peace in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Water Valley, Miss., for nearly a quarter-century.

He died of complica-tions from heart surgery and lung disease at the Memphis Veterans Medi-cal Center in January 1990. He couldn’t breathe. He was 65.

Last January, his wid-ow, Mayva Sue Williams Weaver, also of Water Val-ley, was admitted to Bap-tist Reynolds Home Care

& Hospice in Collierville. She was sufering from

pulmonary ibrosis, an in-curable lung disease that slowly sufocates its vic-tims. She was having so much trouble breathing, they moved her from the hospital to the hospice.

The average length of stay in hospice care is 67 days, according to the National Hospice and Pal-liative Care Organization. Susie Weaver entered hos-pice care Jan. 20. That was 293 days ago.

“They thought I wasn’t going to make it when I came in,” Susie, 81, said as she sat upright in her hos-pice bed, breathing with

the help of medications and a clear, thin tube run-ning just under her nose.

“Yeah, everybody told me that I wasn’t going to make it. God had other plans, let’s put it like that. God’s got some kind of plan for me. I don’t know what it is, but he does and we’re going to work on it.”

She worked as she sat

and talked, reaching into a tray that extended over her bed. Inside the tray was a cardboard box containing a spool of thin copper wire and two boxes of stainless steel masonry nails.

“Can you believe Hubert passed away in 1990,” she said as she worked.

NASHVILLE — Another mil-lion-dollar Tennessee Lot-tery ticket was sold in Shel-by County last week — the fourth million-dollar plus winning ticket sold in Greater Memphis within the last two months.

A ticket sold at Coby’s Food Mart, 679 West Poplar in Col-lierville, turned into a million-dollar winner in last Friday night’s multistate “Monopoly Millionaires’ Club” drawing. The winning ticket hasn’t been presented to the Tennes-see Lottery yet but the retailer will receive $5,000 for selling the ticket. Winners have 180 days from the drawing to pres-ent their winning tickets.

The “Monopoly Million-aires’ Club” launched three weeks ago and last Friday’s drawing was the irst time the game’s top prize was won, a $21 million winner in New Jersey. There were also 14 mil-lion-dollar winners, including the ticket sold in Collierville.

A trust fund in the name of TCL Trust presented the win-ning $2 million Oct. 11 Power-ball ticket sold at Riverdale Gas & Grocery, 4219 River-dale Road in Hickory Hill, ac-cording to Tennessee Lottery spokeswoman Kym Gerlock. The holder of a Sept. 24 Pow-erball ticket worth $1 million sold at Perkins BP, 2760 South Perkins, still has not claimed that prize, Gerlock said. And the holder of a $1 million in-stant ticket sold in Browns-ville presented that ticket Sept. 29, she said.

Gerlock advised lottery purchasers to sign the backs of their tickets.

Kristin and Izzy Cordero wanted to have children, so they inally got the test.

If she tested positive for Hun-tington’s disease, they had de-cided, children were out of the question. Any child would then have a 50 percent chance of get-ting the disease themselves.

“Kristin was adamant,” said Izzy, 42. “She had seen what the disease does.”

Huntington’s is a neurode-generative disease that has been described as a combina-tion of Alzheimer’s, ALS and Parkinson’s.

“There’s nothing worse,” said Millie Cordero, Izzy’s mother. “There is absolutely nothing worse. You’ve got the Parkin-son’s part of it, you’ve got the Lou Gehrig’s part of it, you’ve got the dementia part of it. And there is nothing for Hunting-ton’s. Nothing can be done.”

Kristin and Izzy knew there was a 50 percent chance she had the disease. She had told him all about it when they started to date. He married her anyway. Because that’s what love is, you know?

“The nurse gave us the re-sults,” said Izzy. “In our hearts, we already knew. She told us that Kristin had tested posi-tive.”

Kristin and Izzy were devas-

tated. They had met in college, when they worked together at Café Ole, she as a hostess, he as a server. She went on to work as a crackerjack nurse at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and in the burn unit at The Re-gional Medical Center. He went on to teach chemistry, irst at Arlington and now at Central High School.

“They were meant for each other,” said Millie.

Kristin can no longer control her physical movements. Her arms jerk and wave and dance. Seeing her, you think she has a particularly active form of cerebral palsy. She can’t speak clearly. Her cognitive ability is deteriorating.

So more than a year ago, Millie suggested a service dog might help. She had heard of a group near Nashville called Retrieving Independence that trains dogs to help people with seizures, diabetes and mobility disorders. The dogs are actually trained by prison inmates. They are placed in the prison as pup-pies and a trainer from Retriev-ing Independence works with the prisoners to train the grow-ing dogs to do speciic tasks.

“We thought it was a great

idea,” said Izzy. “We met Bear, as a puppy, last February. That was just to see if he’d be a it. We needed a calm dog, a dog that wouldn’t be scared by Kristin’s movements, or if she hit him. But then we had to wait while he was trained.”

The wait seemed like for-ever. Meanwhile, Kristin re-gressed.

“She wouldn’t say anything,” said Izzy. “She would answer you with one word. There were no conversations any longer. ... She became disengaged.”

Finally, in late October, Izzy and Kristin drove to Nashville to pick up Bear and spend a week training with him.

Lesley Adams, the head trainer with Retrieving Inde-pendence, said “The dogs were scheduled to come at 3:30 p.m. Everybody’s eyes were glued to the door. And Bear’s head pokes in and Kristin leaped up out of her chair and screamed his name and ran to the dog. I knew then, it was going to be just ine.”

That was three weeks ago. It has been better than ine.

“The impact has been in-credible,” said Izzy. “You could see it immediately.”

By Tuesday of their week in Nashville, Kristin was pitching into conversations, chatting in the altered way that she can. She was engaged. She was happy.

“And walking with Bear made a huge diference,” said Izzy. “She was walking much closer to the way she normally walked. Everyone noticed that her entire gait had changed.”

The progress has continued since the family returned to Memphis. Kristin no longer gets anxious about being left alone in the house. She and her mother have taken Bear with them all around Memphis.

“We took him to Kroger,” said Sara Wilkinson. “He lay right under the table when we met some friends at Owen Brennan’s. Kristin was much more involved.”

Bear can do a remarkable ar-ray of chores around the Cor-dero household. He really can lush the toilet, pick up dropped pieces of silverware, take the laundry out of the dryer and open and close the fridge. But even more than that, he is a constant companion, a source of open-hearted, enthusiastic warmth.

“It’s unconditional love,” said Adams, the trainer. “Dogs look at people as being wonder-ful. It doesn’t matter if you can’t talk, it doesn’t matter if you walk funny, it doesn’t matter if you’re in a wheelchair. They love you. That’s all they want.”

Kristin and Izzy Cordero sit with Kristin’s therapy dog, Bear, at their home. Kristin, who sufers from the neurodegenerative disease Huntington’s, gets assistance from the golden retriever with walking and many household chores, among other things. Bear’s “impact has been incredible,” said Izzy.

‘Unconditional love’

She took two 1½-inch nails from the box and glued them together side by side, sharp point to lat-tened head. Then she used the edge of the cardboard box to measure of a length of copper wire.

“We moved to Memphis for Hubert’s work,” she said. “He was an engineer on the IC railroad. We moved to DeSoto Coun-ty. That’s where I taught seventh grade. They say that’s a hard age to teach but I loved it. Sometimes they’d raise their hand and say, ‘Mama?’ They’d forget where they were.

“My son, Hank, built his mama a house in Cordova. It was near a school in case

I wanted to teach again, but I guess I’ve had enough of that. I could, I suppose. It just never occurred to me. Hmmm.”

She glued the two short-er nails crosswise to a lon-ger, 2 ½-inch nail. Then she wrapped a strand of copper wire tight around the joined pieces, then up under the lattened head of the vertical piece and made a tiny loop.

She put the finished stainless steel cross in a box and started working on another one. She igures she’s made and given away thousands of little crosses over the years. When she went to Hope Presbyterian Church last Easter, every member of the choir was wearing one.

“I haven’t been to church since Easter,” she said. “It

took ive or six of those green oxygen tanks just to get me through the service.

“Gina, my daughter, she’s a respiratory thera-pist. She was back behind the pew changing out my tanks. My grandson was going back and forth to the car getting new tanks.

“It’s too much trouble. So now I do Bible study here. I do nails, and I see people. I guess that’s about it. A lot of people come to see me.”

One is Roy Barber, a fel-low member of Hope Pres-byterian. He and his wife take the tiny crosses, coat them with polyurethane and add strings so people can wear them around their necks.

“I went to see her in Feb-ruary and she said, ‘I’ve got a job for you. I need you to

triple-dip these.’ That’s what I love about her. She didn’t ask. She told me what she needed me to do. Those crosses are everywhere.”

Another regular visitor is Milton Carroll, a chap-lain at Hope.

“She’s a ball of energy,” he said. “I call her ‘Blue Eyes.’ I’ll come in and say, ‘Hello, Blue Eyes. How are you feeling?’ She’ll say, ‘Milton, I feel ine. I just can’t breathe.’ Then we both laugh.”

Hubert and Susie Weav-er were married in 1953. Not long before he died, they bought a plot in Oak Hill Cemetery in Water Valley. That’s where her parents are buried. That’s where Hubert is buried.

Next to his gravestone is hers.

“Milton and I have been

planning my funeral. So far, all we got is one song: ‘Walkin’ in the Sunshine.’ It’s an old Roger Miller song. Milton said, ‘Susie, I can just see you walk-ing down the street with Jesus, both of you swing-ing hands and singing, ‘Walkin’ in the Sunshine.’ ”

Susie smiles and picks up another nail.

“My health issues are I’m going to breathe until I die and then that’s it,” she said. “But I feel ine. I’m happy. I’m peaceful. God’s got a plan. We’ve both got a plan.

“My plan is to do what-ever God wants me to do. It may be nothing but nails, and if that’s it, I’ll just sit here and make nails.”

“People don’t care how much you know. They care how much you care.”

Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger cared an awful lot about a chance to play football for the University of Notre Dame, and it was that level of passion and commitment

that made him successful. For one play, Ruettiger was a star.

Ruettiger spoke at Houston High School last Thursday night as a guest of the Bodine School, which serves children with dys-lexia. Ruettiger was diagnosed with dyslexia after high school, as he was pursuing his dream of attending and playing football for Notre Dame.

“I was that guy sitting in a

classroom saying, ‘Why can’t I read? Why can’t I do what my friends can do?” Ruettiger said.

His story, from overcoming poor grades in high school to making one defensive sack in his irst and last Notre Dame game and being carried of the ield by his teammates, became the story for the 1993 movie “Rudy” star-ring Sean Astin.

Bodine Head of School Josh Clark joked that the only school in the city without a football program was the one school to

bring “Rudy” to Memphis.“I take a lot of pride in that,”

he said in his opening remarks. After serving in the United

States Navy, Ruettiger spent two years at a junior college before his grades were good enough to transfer to Notre Dame. He played on the team’s practice squad, getting pounded by ath-letes a foot taller than him.

“Keep getting hit, keep get-ting up,” Ruettiger said. “That’s life.”

After his moment of glory on

the ield, Ruettiger said he sat in the locker room and tried to think of what to do next. His next dream became to make a movie about his life, which turned out to be a hard pitch.

Ruettiger eventually con-nected with Angelo Pizzo, who produced “Hoosiers,” and the ilm “Rudy” was born.

Ruettiger said his success had nothing to do with being a great reader or football player.

“All I did was do what I ex-pected myself to do.”

driver crashes into West Clinic

One person was taken to a hospital after a ve-hicle crashed through the front window of the West Clinic in Germantown last Thursday afternoon.

Germantown police Capt. Joe Bradley said 37-year-old Angela Paint-er, of Marked Tree, Ar-kansas, was a passenger in the vehicle, and that the driver, Mary Sanders, 64, of Bartlett, accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake. Painter was taken to the hospital as a precau-tion, Bradley said, but she had no obvious injuries.

He said the 1998 Ford Explorer drove into the building at 8000 Wolf Riv-er Blvd. just before 1 p.m. The room on the other side of the glass was an admin-istrative oice, and one in the building was injured.

A fax machine was damaged, Bradley said, and was initially thought to be part of an X-ray ma-chine, so hazmat crews were called to the scene to make sure there was no radiation leak.

Insp. Lee Covey said the driver was not cited and no charges are expected to be iled.

Holly Swogger had barely inished asking her small audience to contrib-ute money for a veterans home Monday when Gene Sweatt handed her a wad of bills.

The $120 contributed by Sweatt and Gene Wil-liams, a fellow member of the motorcycle club Mid-South VTX Riders, will cover just a fraction of the $23 million state-local share of the planned West Tennessee Veterans Home. But, as noted by Swogger, who is president of a group leading the ef-fort to build the home, it

helps.Swogger, joined by a

group of area politicians and veterans, used the oc-casion of Veterans Day eve to highlight fundraising eforts for the proposed 144-bed facility that would provide skilled nursing care and rehabilitation therapy for veterans in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties. They announced a “Project 100” campaign in which organizations would raise $100 for each member who is a veteran and a rally next year by a chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle As-sociation.

Aside from its service to veterans, the home would provide 230 jobs and pump

$10 million annually into the local economy, propo-nents say. The total cost is

estimated at $68 million, with the federal govern-ment funding 65 percent.

The site for the home hasn’t been selected yet. But so far, Shelby County

has pledged $2 million to the project, and the state has committed $650,000 to land-acquisition and oper-ating costs.

Speakers at the Monday event noted that veterans homes already have been built in other Tennessee communities, includ-ing Murfreesboro, Knox County and Humboldt. But there are none serv-ing the three counties in the state’s southwestern corner, which is home to more than 71,000 veterans, nearly 24,000 of whom are over 65.

“It’s past time to have a facility here,” said State Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collier-ville.

NASHVILLE — Two days af-ter Tennesseans repealed their right to elect appellate court judges, state Sen. Bri-an Kelsey iled legislation to implement a new system of judicial appointments by the governor for eight-year terms upon conirmation by the state Legislature.

Tennesseans would only get a vote on the judges if they choose to seek new eight-year terms, at which time they would face state-wide “retain” or “reject” votes under provisions of both the constitutional Amendment 2 that won voter ratiication Nov. 4 and the legislation Kelsey, R-Germantown, iled Nov. 6 to implement it.

Voters would get a quick-er chance to retain or reject a judge appointed to ill an

unexpired term: He or she would appear on the next statewide August election ballot for a retention vote on the remainder of the term. Those who want to remain on the bench for the next full term would face the regular retention elec-tion vote as other appellate court judges.

The amendment and Kelsey’s Senate Bill 1 to implement it applies to the ive Tennessee Supreme Court justices, the 12 judges on the Tennessee Court of Appeals and the 12 on the Tennessee Court of Crim-

inal Appeals. State trial court judges at the county and judicial district levels are not afected.

Kelsey’s bill also sets up the process for legislative conirmation of the appel-late judges. The bill would create a new 14-member judicial conirmation com-mittee composed of seven members of both the Sen-ate and House of Represen-tatives.

The panel must hold one public hearing in which the public can present written testimony against or in fa-vor of the nominee. The committee will have pow-er to request a conidential background investigation of nominees, and subpoena power to compel witnesses to testify and deliver docu-ments to the committee.

House and Senate com-mittee members will vote separately on whether to recommend conirmation

or rejection of the nomi-nee to the full House and Senate. The two chambers must then vote on whether to conirm or reject the nominee.

Under the bill, the nomi-nee will not take oice until the Legislature has acted. If the Legislature does not conirm or reject the nomi-nee within 60 days of the governor’s selection, or within 60 days after the Legislature convenes if it was not in session, the nominee is conirmed.

Also on Nov. 6, Gov. Bill Haslam issued an ex-ecutive order establishing a new 11-member Governor’s Council for Judicial Ap-pointments that will rec-ommend three candidates to ill each vacancy in the state’s trial and appellate courts. The governor will choose from the three or ask the council to submit three more nominees.


Politics


901-529-2372

The day after Election Day, Mike Palazzolo’s top three priorities were breakfast with his daugh-ter, replying to congratu-latory messages, and a nap.

But Germantown’s mayor-elect will soon shift his focus to mending the community after what he called a “polarizing” cam-paign, and forming citizen

groups to design the city’s 2040 plan.

Palazzolo beat former city employee George Brogdon with 54 percent of the vote Nov. 4. It marked the end of the three-month battle between the two that created arguably the area’s most heated politi-cal race.

“The entire county was looking at our race,” Pala-zzolo said. “They hadn’t seen that type of activity in our city in at least the generation of politics I’ve

been in.”Looking

f o r w a r d , Pa la zzolo said he ex-pects the community to do some m e n d i n g on its own as residents shift focus back to daily life. “Those things will begin to fade to a certain extent,” he said.

Palazzolo, along with new aldermen John Bar-zizza and Mary Anne Gib-son, who won their elec-tions against incumbent Greg Marcom and Mary Chick Hill, respectively,

will be sworn in on Dec. 15.

Palazzolo said one of his top priorities after the holiday season is one of his campaign-platform promises; a joint retreat with the Germantown Municipal School Board and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Those meetings, he said, will help drive the discussion on the school district’s capital needs.

While the school dis-trict evaluates its potential growth, citizen groups will form to do the same for the city as a whole. German-town used citizens to cre-ate the city’s “2020 plan,”

from which the Smart Growth development plan derived.

Palazzolo said it’s al-ready time to start think-ing about the next 20 years and to form com-mittees for the 2040 plan. He said he doesn’t want to start the project with any preconceived ideas of what the plan should include.

“If you try and plan these things and have an agenda,” it won’t work. “Our people are fairly smart. They’ll see through that,” he said.

Palazzolo said he will continue working as a se-nior development oicer

for Rhodes College, since the $24,000-a-year mayor job is part-time.

“My employer has been very gracious to allow me to be a citizen servant,” he said. “So there’s a lot of lexibility there.”

Alderman Forrest Ow-ens said he is looking for-ward to seeing Palazzolo in his new role. Per the city’s charter, the board will appoint a new mem-ber to serve out the rest of Palazzolo’s term.

“It will be a fairly new board,” he said. “I think the dynamic will change, but the new people have the best interest of Ger-mantown at heart.”

LEGISLATURE

Kelsey submits bill to change how judges take their seatsHALL TAX COULD BE PHASED OUT

Tennessee’s tax on income from stock dividends and interest on certain bonds would be phased out over three years starting in 2016 under a bill iled Nov. 6 by state Sen. Brian Kelsey.

The bill was iled after the Nov. 4 ratiication of Amendment 3 to the state constitution, banning any new state or local personal income tax on earned income — including wages and salaries — and any payroll tax measured by income. The amendment explicitly exempts and has no efect on the existing tax on stock dividend and certain interest income, called the “Hall income tax.” But Kelsey cited the amendment’s 66 to 34 percent approval and said, “Now it’s time to eliminate the Hall tax.”

His bill would keep the Hall tax at 6 percent through

2015, cut it to 4 percent in 2016, 2 percent in 2017 and eliminate it in 2018.

But it’s likely to put the senator on a collision course with Gov. Bill Haslam, who said last week the state can’t yet aford to abolish the tax. It generates about $270 million a year, and 5/8ths of the revenue lows to the state and 3/8ths to the city or county where the taxpayer lives.

“Given where we are right now, I don’t see a way for us to do away with the Hall income tax. ... I don’t think it’s a good tax but I can’t take $270 million out of our budget without something to replace it,” Haslam said.

During Haslam’s irst term, the Legislature phased out the inheritance, estate and gift taxes.

WASHINGTON — The Republi-cans’ strong showing during the Nov. 4 elections will not only give the party control of both chambers in the new Con-gress that convenes next year, but it also will give Tennessee more inluence in Washington.

Tennessee’s two U.S. sena-tors — Republicans Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker — are expected to become chair-men of two high-proile com-mittees that will put them at the center of some of the most important and contentious is-sues and policy discussions in Washington.

Alexander, elected to a third term in a 30-point rout over Democrat Gordon Ball, will take the reins of the Senate committee that has jurisdic-tion over health care, education and pensions. With incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promising to dis-mantle the Afordable Care Act “root and branch,” Alexan-der’s position as chairman of the health committee will give him a signiicant role in helping to shape that debate and others.

“Republicans in the Senate are ready to hit the ground run-ning with proposals to grow jobs, turn our health care sys-tem in the direction of more choices and lower costs, return

control over our public schools to communities and classroom teachers, and put an end to the Obama administration’s un-constitutional overreach into so many areas of Americans’ lives,” said Alexander, who car-ried every Tennessee county except heavily Democratic Davidson County in the Nov. 4 elections.

Corker, who already serves as the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Com-mittee, is poised to take over as chairman of that panel next year, giving him an important voice in the nation’s foreign policy.

Speaking at an event in Knoxville on Nov. 5, Corker said he was thrilled with the re-sults of the election, but added that it comes with “consider-able responsibility to govern responsibly” and to “actually solve problems.”

Tennessee’s reach in Wash-ington won’t be limited to the Senate.

In the House, U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, R-Johnson City, is often mentioned as a possible chair-man of either the House Educa-tion and the Workforce Com-mittee or the House Veterans Afairs Committee. Given Roe’s background — he’s a Vietnam War-era veteran who has made veterans’ concerns one of his signature issues — chairman-ship of the Veterans Afairs Committee seems more likely

within his reach.U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleisch-

mann, R-Ooltewah, is expected to stay on the House Appropri-ations Committee, which gives him a say in how the federal government spends its money. Fleischmann is the only Ten-nessean with a coveted seat on the committee.

Tom Ingram, a political con-sultant who formerly served as Alexander’s chief of staf, said there’s no question that Ten-nessee will gain inluence in the new Congress, particular-ly with Alexander and Corker taking over committee chair-manships.

“You’ve got two senators who are in very key positions

nationally, who are known for their ability to work across the aisle and who are committed to getting things done, which is what I think the vote was about,” Ingram said.

“It’s a great opportunity, while at the same time it’s a great challenge. It’s like the old proverbial dog that caught the car. You better be sure of your grip or it’ll ling you of.”

Perhaps another sign that Washington is paying closer attention to Tennessee after the election: Gov. Bill Haslam, easily elected to a second term Nov. 4, was one of two dozen candidates who got a late-night, congratulatory call from President Barack Obama.

2014 MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Red tide sweeps nation, Tennessee follows suit

The question to Tennessee Republican Party chairman Chris Devaney was as logi-cal as it was painful for state Democrats, a huge chunk of whom live here in Shelby County: Is this the best time in modern memory to be a Republican in the Volunteer State?

“The past few years, it seems like we’ve reached that pinnacle every election cycle,” Devaney said Nov. 5. “And now we’ve hit another milestone.”

Nov. 4, Tennessee voters from Bristol to Memphis de-livered Devaney and his crew another decisive win.

These are the headiest of times for the Republican Party in Tennessee, and it isn’t just about the top-line of-ices. Sure, those ofer plenty of bragging rights: a Republi-can governor, two Republican senators and seven of nine members of the congressio-nal delegation.

And while Amendment 1 didn’t fall along D/R lines, “Yes” certainly aligned with conservatives’ thoughts, and it breezed into law.

But the real boast of the state Republicans lies in two areas: dominance in the Gen-eral Assembly and the sham-bles of the opposition.

In the statehouse beginning next session, Republicans will work with almost unthinkable majorities: 28-5 in the Senate, 73-26 in the House.

The Democratic caucus is so small in the Senate that the running joke involves the brand of car — the smaller, the funnier — in which it can comfortably meet.

Here’s how quickly it hap-pened, too: As late as 2008, the state House still had a Democratic majority.

And then there’s the state Democratic Party, whose chairman, former West Ten-nessee state Sen. Roy Herron, is departing.

The party failed to recruit a credible candidate to the governor’s race this year, and while Gordon Ball ran a spunky campaign for U.S. Senate, Lamar Alexander beat him by 30-points.

The party’s brightest lights for the future are probably newly elected senators Lee Harris and Jef Yarbro.

And I know what you’re saying: Politics are cyclical. Things change.

Which may be true, of course. But Devaney and his crew have a substantial ground game in the works.

He isn’t talking about maintaining the party’s status in the state; he’s talking about expanding it.

All good for GOP in Volunteer State

NASHVILLE — Voters on Nov. 4 approved wine sales in food stores in all 78 Ten-nessee towns, cities and counties where it was on the ballot — a sweep so big it may prompt state legisla-tors to consider allowing wine in food stores sooner than the 2016 date written into law.

The wine law approved earlier this year that cleared the way for last week’s referendums delays wine sales in food stores to July 1, 2016 — a key provi-sion in a compromise with liquor retailers that led to the law’s passage after sev-en consecutive years of ef-forts in the Legislature. In return, liquor stores were allowed to start selling

beer, tobacco, party foods and accessories starting July 1 of this year.

But the unanimous re-sults, and the large victo-ry margins in most of the referendums, will likely prompt lawmakers to con-sider moving up the efec-tive date, Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, R-Blount-ville, said last month. Li-quor retailers are virtually certain to oppose moving the date up, and the out-come is uncertain.

Rep. Jon Lundberg, the Bristol Republican who sponsored the wine ref-erendum bill this year, agreed. But he said he won’t sponsor a bill to move up the efective date because he agreed to the compromise and is honor-bound to it.

“I will not carry it be-cause I was part of the agreement. But where it passes, people will want it sooner rather than later and lawmakers will hear

that,” Lundberg said.“Literally, people are

driving across the (state’s) border and they’re not do-ing it to save sales tax, they’re doing it for conve-nience. As a sales-tax-base state, we depend on that.”

Last Tuesday’s results also are likely to encour-age more petition drives for referendums to be held in more than two dozen smaller towns that are eligible to hold them but didn’t this year — places where voters have already approved retail liquor stores or liquor by the drink in restaurants or both.

In Shelby County, refer-

endums passed in Mem-phis, Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown and Millington. Lakeland voters approved liquor-by-the-drink in restaurants, a move that will make resi-dents there eligible to hold a petition drive leading to a referendum for wine sales in food stores later.

In Knox County, voters in Knoxville, Farrugut and the unincorporated areas of the county approved wine in food stores. Vot-ers in Chattanooga and all ive of its suburbs where wine was on the ballot ap-proved it, as did voters in Nashville and Goodletts-ville in Davidson County.

BALLOT MEASURE

Grocery wine vote sweeps all 78 ballots


615-255-4923

NASHVILLE — A group of eight prominent Amend-ment 1 opponents, includ-ing one from Memphis, make up the list of plain-tifs who iled a lawsuit late Friday seeking to block Nov. 4 vote results approv-ing the measure.

The suit, iled in U.S. District Court in Nash-ville, challenges the state’s method of simply deter-mining whether the total number of votes in favor of Amendment 1 constitutes a majority of the total num-ber of votes cast in the gu-bernatorial race. The votes are counted regardless of whether the voter also vot-ed for a gubernatorial can-didate on the same ballot.

The suit claims “that tabulation method louts” the Tennessee Constitu-tion’s mandate in Article XI, Section 3: “And if all the people shall approve

and ratify such amend-ment or amendments by a majority of all the citizens of the state voting for gov-ernor, voting in their fa-vor, such amendment or amendments shall become a part of this Constitution.”

Essentially, the plaintifs charge, only the votes of people who voted in the gubernatorial election should be tabulated in the amendment referendum.

Supporters of the mea-sure responded to the law-suit, calling it “one more example of pro-abortion activists refusing to trust the common sense and compassion of Tennesse-ans who voted to approve Amendment 1,” said Brian Harris, president of Ten-nessee Right to Life and a coordinator for Yes on 1.

“Even if you wrongly discount those who may have voted for Amendment 1 but not in the governor’s race, there is still a margin of almost 20,000 votes in favor of the amendment.”

At the Bandmaster’s Cham-pionship in Memphis, Hous-ton High was named Reserve Grand Champion for the third consecutive year.

This year’s award-winning show, “Relections of Earth,” was conducted under the ield direction of drum majors Ronald Nelson and Jessie Lee. The show consisted of selec-tions by music composer and conductor Gavin Greenaway. Selections included “Chaos, We Go On,” featuring a duet by Sam Armstrong and Nick Culver, and “Celebration.”

“Relections of Earth” por-trayed humanity’s eforts to

survive and recover from war, famine and pestilence — with a hopeful eye aimed toward the future.

The 2014-15 Houston High School Marching Band con-sists of 300 members in grades9-12. Band members are directed by Jim Smith and Matt Taylor. The drum line is directed by Isiah Row-ser and the color guard is in-structed by Sarah Tyer. The band competes across the Mid-South during march-ing season and is proud to be sponsored by the Houston High School Band Boosters, led by Brian and Deana Span-gler.

A proposed addition to the Shops at Saddle Creek would up-root a fountain in Germantown, but city oicials say plans are in the works to save it.

With a 5-3 vote last week, the city’s Planning Commission ap-proved a 5,400 square-foot build-ing to be built on the northeast corner of West Farmington Bou-levard and Poplar Avenue. The is-

sue moves to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen’s Nov. 24 agenda.

A parking lot and the foun-tain currently occupy the land between Starbucks and the end of the strip of retail stores along West Farmington.

The building would be the next phase of Saddle Creek de-velopment, an addition to the construction taking place across the street.

Economic and Community Development Director Cameron Ross said the fountain is owned by Saddle Creek, but could be donated to the city. One possi-bility for it, he said, is to move it across West Farmington to the other corner of the intersection

and to create a park around it.“It’s a ixture piece but in

terms of being a gathering space and a community asset beyond its visual impact, it’s under-uti-lized,” Ross said.

While the building will sit on the existing parking area, Ross said the area will be designed so the total loss of parking in the area is only ive spaces. The change, however, will require the aldermen to approve a variance. Planning Commission members balked at the variance on prin-ciple, leading to the dissenting votes on the overall project.

Ross said the city does not know what businesses will go in any of the new Saddle Creek

construction. He said Trade-mark Property Company is in negotiations with its tenants and cannot release the information until leases are signed.

The company’s executive vice president of development, Tony Chron, attended the Plan-ning Commission meeting and said the tenants for the north-east corner by Starbucks will be cognizant of the limited space for deliveries and trash removal. The building would be just 11 feet from the edge of the roadway.

“We have users identiied and we’ve been very careful to pick the right users for this particular corner because of all these types of criteria,” Chron said.

Across the street, on the southwest corner, the project is a $20 million “revamp” of 86,000 square feet and an addition of 20,000 square feet, Ross said.

Construction has been under-way for months, and is slated for a spring 2015 opening.

Ross said the project is indica-tive of the Smart Growth vision for a growing central business district.

“I think that the key to this is it’s incremental growth, waiting for the market and making sure the market is there and not just throwing things out there,” he said. “It is truly smart growth, looking for sustainable solutions and incremental growth.”

RENEE DAVIS BRAMEGermantown Community Theatre, 3037 Forest Hill Irene

Hometown: MemphisFamily: Married to husband,

Aaron, two children, Rocco and Calliope, and two cats Vanya and Jolene

Education: BFA in theatre per-formance from the University of Memphis

Civic involvement: I love vol-unteering at theaters around town, GCT and Theatre Mem-phis, especially.

First job: Honestly, I don’t remember. Let’s just say it had something to do with leaping buildings in a single bound.

Most recent job: Operations director at Germantown Com-munity Theatre/full-time mom

Most satisfying career moment: My job usually involves writing short informational pieces and ad copy. I was recently given the chance to share my love of play writing with my GCT family in the form of a new adaptation of “The Velveteen Rabbit.” It is cur-rently in rehearsals and the fully

staged production begins Dec. 5 at GCT.

Career advice: Always strive for a balance between standing up for what you believe is right for the company and what is best for the people within the com-pany. This takes conviction, lex-ibility and (most importantly) empathy.

Person you most admire (and why): My mom. She’s strong, easy going, tireless and caring. My mother always served as a great example to me of what it takes to be a successful woman

while never losing sight of what is important (family).

Hobbies: Knitting, sewing, writing the great American play, singing, playing guitar (after the hobby of learning to play guitar was complete)

Last book you read: “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy

Favorite film or TV show: “An-nie Hall” is my all-time favorite movie.

Favorite vacation spot: Edin-burgh, Scotland

People would be surprised to know about me: I was outra-

geously shy and awkward as a kid. I grew out of the shyness.

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be: I really hate oxford commas. Seriously. I think they are truly terrible.

The Collierville Lit-eracy Council spon-sored its 10th annual Scrabble Tourna-

ment FUNdraiser Nov. 9 at St. George’s Independent School’s Collierville campus.

Karen Ray, executive director of the Literacy Council, spoke about the ef-forts of the Collierville Literacy Coun-cil since its founding in 1987.

“The literacy council was founded at that time when a group of concerned citizens in Collierville saw the need for additional literacy training,” she said. “A lot has changed since then. Instruc-tion for those needing to learn English, as well as G.E.D. prep, is now provided for those living in Collierville and the surrounding area.”

The Scrabble tournament is the lit-eracy council’s largest fundraiser of the year and the money raised will help fund its ESL and GED programs.

This year, 26 teams competed. The B-Tilers placed first with a score of 1,012. Scrabble Eggs came in a close second, finishing with 1,001 points and Your Word Against Mine came in third.

Although the food wasn’t the reason participants showed up, it sure didn’t hurt. Dozens of Scrabble players take a quick break to grab a few bites before the competition resumes.

The Awards Place team of Alice Adams, Jesse Adams and Patti Adams had to spend a few extra dollars to consult a dictionary.

Team Syzgy members Dwight Moore Jr., Nell Amberson and Geneva Simpson-Moore find the perfect spot to place their Scrabble tiles.

Prior to their Class 6A state playof game with Collierville, Houston players had been chant-ing “See you Monday.”

“We pride ourselves on play-ing for one more day, especially all of our seniors playing for all of our brothers. That is what we were ighting for, one more time,” said Houston defensive lineman Reid Ostrom.

Had it not been for a game-clinching interception with 10:21 left to play, it may have been see you later.

Houston linebacker Zach Chil-dress intercepted a slant-route pass by Collierville freshman quarterback Garrett Booth and raced 40 yards for a touchdown to power the Mustangs to a 35-28 victory over the charged-up Dragons last Friday at Houston High School.

Houston’s win sends the Mus-tangs (10-1) to Arlington (9-2) for a second-round playof game at 7 p.m. Friday.

“I love the taste of it,” said Childress of the advancement. Making his irst game-winning interception of his career, Chil-dress, a junior, said, “The ball went right to me. I got it and kept on running. I did not look back. It was the greatest feeling in my life. I am not going to lie.”

The Dragons (6-5) had some-thing to prove.

“We wanted to prove to ev-erybody that didn’t believe in us that we could play with them because they are not 28 points better than us,” said Collier-ville wide receiver Drew Van de Vuurst. The Mustangs won 49-21 on Oct. 24.

Houston coach Will Hudgens said, “We knew they were going to come in and ight their butts of. Once you get into the play-ofs anything can happen.”

Playing with an ofense that had been installed for three weeks because of a knee injury to starting quarterback Alex Hicks, Booth was exceptional in leading the Dragons to a 14-0 lead.

He threw touchdown passes to Van de Vuurst of 75 and 10 yards. Van de Vuurst, who runs the 40 in 4.5 seconds, scored the 75-yarder on the third play of the game.

Collierville coach Mike O’Neill said he was hoping to limit Houston’s powerful ofense to 21 points. The Mustangs had 14 when they rallied to tie on a 5-yard touchdown run by Colby Cartwright, who would be the Mustangs’ leading rusher with 44 yards.

Earlier, Houston quarterback Jared Schmidt scored on a 1-yard keeper with 1:22 left in the irst quarter.

“We deinitely came out with our heads a little too high,” said Schmidt, who remained calm despite the deicit. “What I do after they (opponents) score a touchdown, I tell them (defense) it’s not over yet. They as sure as anything showed that. This is one night where I can sit there and look to our “D” and say it’s all them. Our ofense put up some points, but our defense came through when it mattered the biggest.”

Collierville had taken a 21-14 lead in the second quarter on Van de Vuurst’s 30-yard touch-down reception from Booth. He inished with 115 yards on three catches.

“The fact that it might be my last game, I wanted to leave it all out on the ield. I think we had more ire. We were more focused. As seniors, we didn’t want it to end right now,” Van de Vuurst said.

In what Childress termed a turning point, Schmidt threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Em-

mett Whitaker with 33 seconds left in the irst half that tied the game at 21 after Jacob Painter’s

PAT.“Emmett made his plays when

his number was called,” said

Hudgens.So did Collierville running

back Peyton McCay, a sopho-more who rushed for a game-high 173 yards on 27 carries. His 5-yard touchdown put the Drag-ons back on top midway through the third quarter 28-21.

“I wanted to give back to them. The seniors have got so much great leadership. I wanted to do as much as I could for my team and do my job,” said McCay.

It was Schmidt’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Clark An-derson that tied the game at 28 late in the third quarter. Schmidt completed 17 of 23 passes for 191 yards.

“Unfortunately we gave up some in the passing game. The pick-six was a dagger. Sometimes you live by the pass; sometimes you die by the pass. It happens,” said O’Neill.

Antarctica-ECS 4th Grade Connection

Forest Hill fourth grade recently went on a ield trip and visited with Ms. AlexEilers at the Pink Palace who will be going to Antarctica to study Weddell sealsin November and December. She talked to them about Weddell seals and thestudents will be able to track her journey and observations online as well as askher questions. Some of the fourth graders gave her self-addressed post cards thatshe will mail back to them from Antarctica. The group also gave her a lag thatwas painted by Mrs. Smith and signed by each of the fourth graders. It will belown at some point in Antarctica, featured on her web page, and returned to thestudents!

HIStory XtravaganzaThe ECS band beat their drums and boldlyplayed their instruments as they welcomedForest Hill and Ridge Lake guests to the Maconcampus on Friday, October 31, for the SocialStudies Xtravaganza. “L’e’tat, c’est moi. I amthe State!” said French King Louis IV MartinLuther was there, nailing his 95 Theses to thedoor,Christopher Columbus stared throughhis telescope, and Betsy Ross busily sewedthe American lag. Also in attendance wereFlorence Nightingale, Elizabeth I, UlyssesGrant, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jane Austen, and Marie Antoinette trying to hold onto herhead. William Wallace, a.k.a. Middle School Principal Chuck Smith, amused the audience as hewalked down the aisle in a Scottish kilt, blue face paint and a giant sword to the sound of bagpipes.

At Ridge Lake, Ms. Landy’s second graders havebeen learning about the eye in science. Alongwith a partner, each student used a numberedwhite collar to measure his or her ield of visionand to understand peripheral vision. They coveredup one eye to see how it changed their depthperception while walking up stairs. The childrenused a lashlight to watch the iris change the sizeof the pupil, and they also used a magnifying classfor a closer look at the eye and for understandingthe shape of the lens in the eye. The second

graders used their prisms to see and draw the color spectrum and to chase the lightspectrums around the classroom.Looking at optical illusions, the students learned that sometimes things are not what theyseem to be to our brain. They learned the parts of the eye and how they work together sowe can see. They all agreed that two eyes are better than one eye for seeing and came tothe conclusion that our eyes were created by an amazing God!

Even on a day when he could have allowed him-self a little latitude and a chance to breathe easier, Marlon Hunter was still putting in the work that’s made him one of the top seniors in the area.

Hunter, a standout 6-3 guard at Houston, verbal-ly committed to Western Kentucky last Thursday afternoon. Then it was practice, followed by an additional two hours of shooting work with his uncle, Carlos Lambert.

“That’s where my deter-mination comes from, my uncle,” said Hunter. “He’s been like a father igure in my life.

“We practice two hours, sometimes 2½ and then I

do another two hours on my own. Every day. I don’t leave the gym until 10 at night.”

H u n t e r , who trans-ferred to Houston from Melrose before his junior season, picked the Hilltoppers over a list of schools that included Northern Arizo-na, East Tennessee State, DePaul and Tennessee-Martin, where his old Golden Wildcats coach, Jermaine Johnson, is now an assistant.

“That was the hard-est part of my decision,” he said of turning down UT Martin to commit to WKU.

“I love the atmosphere

at Western Kentucky. And they have four seniors leaving after this year so I’ve got a chance to come in and play early. And I love the coaching staf; they’re going to push me to the limit.”

The Hilltoppers are get-ting a high-energy player who plays well without the ball and who can knock down shots. Hunter was an all-metro choice last season after leading Dis-trict 15-AAA in scoring at nearly 21 points per game.

Public health advocates and the ishing industry are joining forces to pro-mote a common goal: get-ting Memphians to eat sea-food twice a week.

Two factors made Mem-phis one of the irst two pi-lot cities for The Seafood Nutrition Partnership, a group based in Arlington, Va., that organized public oicials, celebrity chefs and health fairs featur-ing Omega-3 screenings in October to promote the health beneits of consum-ing ish.

One is that the Ameri-can Heart Association ranks Tennessee as the eighth highest among states for death rates from

cardiovascular disease. Arkansas is ifth and Mis-sissippi is No. 1.

Another factor that brought the campaign to Memphis is that the exec-utive director of the part-nership, Linda Cornish, was once vice president for member development at the Greater Memphis Chamber, where she worked from 2006-2010, and was one of the found-ers of the Memphis Farm-ers Market.

The relationships she built in Memphis led her to make it a pilot city, Cor-nish said. Those forged by a celebrity board member of the group, former NBA player Detlef Schrempf, made Indianapolis the other pilot city.

“When you start a grass-roots program, it deinitely

helps to have relation-ships,” said Cornish, 43, a former Andersen consul-tant.

While not all ish are created equal and fry-ing is not recommended, some such as tuna, salmon, mackerel and sardines are high in Omega-3 fatty ac-ids that help reduce bad cholesterol and raise the good, said Jessica Van-Cleave, registered dieti-tian with Church Health

Center Wellness and media chairwoman for the Memphis Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Despite the health quali-ties of ish, most Ameri-cans resisted eating more seafood but favored chick-en. While national beef consumption has lattened at 57.4 pounds per person, the American Meat Insti-

tute noted, chicken trend-ed up, doubling since 1970 to 81.3 pounds per person by 2012.

Meanwhile, fish and shellfish consumption slipped nearly 5 percent

between 2004 and 2010 to 15.8 pounds per person, although the American Heart Association and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommend-ed eating ish at least two

times weekly.“Even after a couple

of years, only one in ive Americans do that and 80 percent of Americans don’t follow the dietary guidelines,” Cornish said. “So this nonproit is pro-moting the health beneits of seafood and reducing the risk of heart disease by 30 to 50 percent.”

Falling consumption en-ergized the industry. The campaign’s roots started with frustrated members of a seafood trade asso-ciation, the National Fish-eries Institute, based in McLean, Virginia.

“That’s what we hope to bring to Memphis is the business case that if you show people how to eat healthier, they will live longer and healthier,” Cornish said.

Group champions eat-more-fish campaign in Memphis

Sometimes a bit of envy can lead to a good thing. Consider Logan Gulef, Memphis’ young gourmand, who has won cooking contests, eaten lunch

at the White House, has his own line of spices, is working on a cookbook — and made his national television premiere last Tuesday on “MasterChef Junior.”

“I was really jealous of all the people who competed in “MasterChef Junior” the irst season — this is only the second season — so when we found out they were auditioning in Dallas, we went,” he said.

Unlike the “MasterChef” auditions that were recently held in Memphis, the kids didn’t have to prepare a dish.

“It’s diferent,” said Kim Gulef, Logan’s mother. “They have a secret kind of test they give them, but it’s one of the things we can’t talk about. We also did a home video.”

A week before shooting started in Los Angeles, the call came.

“They tell you to prepare for an eight-week stay,” Kim said. How long they stayed is, of course, top secret. But ilming is done and while a winner has been named, we’ll have to tune in to ind out if Logan takes home the title of MasterChef Junior — and a hefty prize of $100,000.

Here’s how it works. There are 16 contestants, all kids ages 8-13 (Logan is 12 but was 11 during ilming), and one or two are eliminated on every episode. They com-pete with each other by creating recipes from a mystery box of ingredients, but there’s a bit more to it than just cooking.

“Every show brings a new challenge and an oppor-tunity to earn an advantage,” Kim explained. “It’s part game show, part unscripted reality show. With knives.”

It’s a Gordon Ramsay show, he of “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Kitchen Nightmares,” “Hotel Hell” and “MasterChef.” He’s one of the judges; the other two are restaurateurs Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot. The latter is Logan’s favorite.

“Graham is deinitely the nicest of the three,” he said. “He’s the kind of guy who wouldn’t hurt a ly.

“And then there’s Gordon,” he continued. “He can be, well, a little critical, but in the end, it’s for your own good.”

What happened on the set stays on the set, but Logan is happy to talk about the show in broad terms.

“You go in and they’re like ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ and ‘it’s so awesome,’” he said. “ ‘One of you, but only one of you, will win ev-erything in the world that you could ever want.’ ”

And while of course there is a winner, Kim said the elimination of contestants was the hard part.

“Every day someone gets cut,” she said. “If you’re safe, you’re relieved, but it could be that your friend is not. Every day someone is crying.

“But all those kids knew what they were doing. They cooked their little kid pants of.”

Logan said it was the judging that stands out to him.“It’s such a great but nerve-wracking experience,

because of the celebrity chefs. It was nerve-wracking every day.”

He’s OK under pressure, though. This is the kid who shook President Barack Obama’s hand in the White House when he attended a lunch there after winning a state contest when he was 10. The kid who, at 9, traveled to New York to compete when his recipe made the cut for a Jif peanut butter contest. He’s toured some of the inest restaurant kitchens in town, and has cooked in some of them. He’s been behind the scenes at Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Tsunami, Restaurant Iris and was impressed by Elwood’s Shack, both the back of the house and the fact that he was “made” as Logan the food blogger by a server there (his blog, where he reviews restaurants, is orderupwithlogan.blogspot.com). He cooked lamb shanks with Jamal Douba, owner of Petra.

“He did great,” Douba said. “I was afraid he might hurt himself and I told him to please be careful, that I have very big, sharp knives, but he was very careful, very conscientious. I think Logan, he is going to be a good chef. I will be watching and I hope he wins.”

Last week Logan hooked up with Elliott again when he was invited to attend Game 6 of the World Series in Kansas City. During the Game 7 pregame show, he was on television, convincing fans in the stands to try certain concession foods.

It’s a skill he hones at home, where he creates new recipes almost daily. His latest spice is a dry rub that tastes like Louisiana hot sauce (and has a kick in the back of the throat). He’s playing with a rose-infused salt to season a scallop dish, but hasn’t perfected it yet.

“I bought him some rose water and thought maybe he’d make a panna cotta or something,” Kim said. “In-stead he pulls out some special salt and decides to make rose salt. Sometimes it’s strange being Logan’s mom.”

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB MUSEUM OF THE DOG

The American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in Queeny Park in St. Louis shows a visitor looking at museum exhibits accompanied by her dog. The museum is filled with dog art — paintings, sculptures, porcelain figures and more — and visitors are allowed to bring leashed dogs along on their visits.

BETH J. HARPAZ/ASSOCIATED PRESS

A portion of the Hall of Fame at the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in Queeny Park in St. Louis is shown above. The Hall of Fame honors champion dogs, service dogs and dogs from popular culture.

A sculpture of hounds with a huntmaster is shown at the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog. An upcoming lecture will cover Jim the Wonder Dog, of Missouri, who gained fame in the 1930s for supposedly being able to predict competition winners and the sex of unborn babies.

By Beth J. HarpazAssociated Press

Exhibits include dog paint-ings, dog sculptures and displays about famous dogs. But what really makes this St. Louis

museum unique is the visitors: Dogs are welcome, and cura-tors aren’t worried about the canines knocking things over or making a mess.

“We do it and have been doing it for many years, and to my knowledge it’s never caused a problem,” said Stephen George, executive director of the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog.

“The dogs are trained and socialized well. Little dogs, big dogs, in-between dogs. ... We have dogs here virtually ev-ery day,” he said, adding with a laugh that people are more likely to cause problems in museums.

The museum, housed in an 1853 historic home in Queeny Park, is ailiated with the American Kennel Club. Its exhibits include a Hall of Fame that honors cham-pion dogs from various competitions, along with dogs from pop culture, such as Rin Tin Tin, and service dogs of distinc-tion, like those that have done search-and-rescue work.

The museum also hosts guest dogs so visitors can learn about various breeds, and ofers space for dog club meetings and dog trainings. A lecture series includes an upcoming program Nov. 2 on Jim the Wonder Dog, who lived in Marshall, Mis-souri, and gained a reputation in the 1930s for supposedly being able to predict com-petition winners and the gender of unborn

babies.The museum was founded in 1982 in

New York City, but moved to St. Louis a few years later. George, who took over the museum about a year ago, says the museum is still relatively unknown. It at-tracts about 10,000 visitors annually, but he hopes to broaden the outreach.

One of the most striking things about dog paintings is how hard it is to guess their age. When art depicts people or ob-jects, there are often clues to the era from dress or décor. But a dog painted in the 19th century may not appear all that difer-ent from a dog painted in the 21st century.

The museum relies on donations and bequests, and it doesn’t claim to have a comprehensive survey of famous dog art — there are no William Wegman Weima-raners, or Cassius Marcellus Coolidge’s images of hounds playing poker. But it does have some noteworthy pieces, in-cluding Maud Earl’s “Great Dane at the Seashore,” and several 1830s works by Ed-win Landseer, who painted Queen Victo-ria’s dogs.

There are also unusual artifacts: centu-ry-old dog collars, a carved canine from a 19th century carousel, even antique dog toys.

As for the numerous displays of porce-lain igurines, George says they are all ine art — including Royal Doulton pieces — not the “kitschy stuf” found in gift shops or grandma’s curio cabinet.

“There are a lot of works that people don’t understand that we have here, so it’s an awakening experience for a lot of people,” he said.

DOGGIED PURSUITIf you like this museum,

Unlucky Louie says that if you ever reach a point where your whole life flashes before your eyes, you need to hope that at least it’s worth watch-ing.

Louie had a near-death ex-perience in his penny game. He had gone down in the previous two deals when he opened 1NT as today’s South. North’s response of two dia-monds was a “transfer,” show-ing hearts. Why Louie didn’t pass North’s double of three spades is a mystery.

Against 6NT West led the three of spades — an obvious singleton. Louie took dummy’s ace, cashed the A-K of hearts and led a third heart, expect-ing West to win. Instead, East produced the queen, and Louie went down for the third time: East ran the spades for down six!

“My life just passed in front of me,” Louie sighed.

“Duck the first spade,” North growled. “Then you can squeeze East in the major suits.”

“After East preempted,” Louie retorted, “West rated to have length in hearts.”

Louie could have it both ways. He can win the first spade, take dummy’s A-Q of diamonds and lead a club to his ace. When East discards a spade, Louie takes the K-J of diamonds and then two more clubs. As dummy leads a high club at the ninth trick, East has room for four cards. He must keep three hearts and so can save only one spade. Louie then leads a spade, setting up his 12th trick with his jack.

If East turned up with four cards in the minor suits, Louie could safely establish an extra trick in hearts by losing a heart to West.

Dear Harriette: All of the moms at my son’s school talk about “the help” they have for every-thing. Many of them have cooks and housekeepers and lawn maintenance people, you name it. I think it’s great that they can a�ord all of these ser-vices. We cannot. We pay for tuition, and that’s it. My husband works, and I am a homemaker. We fig-ured out this was a cost-e�ective way to get our son the best education and be able to parent him. Usually I feel good about our choices, but it’s hard when these women go on and on about how they spend their wealth. Some of them work, but many do not. I don’t think any of them spend as much time with their children as I do with mine. How can I relax about this?

— Have Not, Syracuse, New York

Dear Have Not: Change your perspective. Just as you teach your son not to covet others’ things or experiences, you must do the same. In place of that

dangerous, envious posi-tion, count your bless-ings. Remember why you and your husband made the choices that are cur-rently guiding your steps. Reflect on specific mo-ments you have shared with your son that are meaningful for you both.

You can also introduce other topics into the conversation with these moms. Talk about your children and how they are growing up. When you discover a great activity in town, share it with the others. Be a catalyst for broadening the conversation.

Other families’ finances should not concern parent

Amusement


ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Shutting down your imagination could be nearly impossible. Make a point of tap-ping into this innate resource. Know that you will ind a way past an immediate problem or hassle. Your eforts will bring much adulation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You seem to be com-ing from a very secure place, but you might want to be less involved in a certain situation. A friend could be upset about not having enough time with you. Make time for him or her.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are likely to want to express yourself, but be careful. You will experience some dis-comfort in a one-on-one dis-cussion. You also could be overly concerned about encountering someone’s wrath.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your possessive side is likely to emerge. You initially might have thought that some-one did not care, but this person could surprise you and demon-strate an unusual amount of

compassion. Changes will occur with more understanding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll get through the day with ease. The Moon in your sign allows many more oppor-tunities to come forward. You naturally seem to get others’ attention. You even might feel a bit overwhelmed by dealing with all the attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Step back if you seem to be getting a negative response to your inquiries. Take some time away from everyone. You might do some quiet work or find yourself deep in a novel. Get-ting caught up in other people’s moods isn’t what you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be surround-ed by a lot of distraction. Don’t allow the moment to divert you from accomplishing a long-term goal this close to the inish line. A family member could be caus-ing a scene to get your attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to establish certain ground rules. You can’t seem to get a moment to yourself. You could come of a lot stricter than you really are. Nevertheless, you will be in the

limelight — a place where you do well. Assume the lead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your mind lies from topic to topic. One word could trigger your thoughts and take you away from the here and now. Go of and daydream. A loved one at a distance would appreciate a call.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal with a loved one directly, as this person tends to count on your feedback. You likely are at a moment in time where you could add to the warmth of this tie or change the nature of the relationship, if you so desire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You won’t be able to say “no” to someone’s pro-posal, and why would you want to? The two of you work well together and know each other well enough to be honest about what is happening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH A friend could be very challenging; this person knows what he or she wants, and won’t settle for less. However, you don’t need to be his or her sounding board or the person he or she always turns to for help.

Dear Miss Manners: The sense of private space seems to have changed radically over the last sev-eral years. Everyone now seems so intent on texting, but there is still the person on public transportation yelling at his ex-wife about child support payments.

I don’t think all of us on the bus need to hear about this. But the presumption seems to be that we are po-litely to pretend we are not hearing this. Any interven-tion, suggesting this might be better dealt with in the privacy of one’s home, is treated with hostility.

Is pretending not to hear still the preferred mode?

Dear reader: Yes and no. Eavesdropping is indeed rude, but Miss Manners suggests that you recast your objection as a warn-ing to someone in danger.

People who air their le-gal complaints or delicate private business in public are in great danger. For all that caller knows, his ex-wife’s lawyer is two seats back, alerted to the op-portunity to add a harass-ment charge to reopen the divorce settlement. Or the child in the aisle is a class-mate of one of his children who may use the informa-tion for taunting.

You may therefore at-tempt to catch the caller’s eye, give him a sympa-thetic look, and wave your hand to indicate all the people who may be listen-ing to the conversation.

Mind you, Miss Manners still thinks it less trouble to move to the back of the bus. Or to get of, if the commo-tion occurs within reason-able distance of your stop.

Dear Miss Manners: If a family is getting together at Thanksgiving, and one of the families attending has a 2-year-old with egg

and peanut allergies, does the mom have the right to e-mail everyone and tell them they cannot bring anything with eggs and/or peanuts to the function?

I could understand it if the parents of the child were hosting the party, but if someone else is hosting and they are just attending, does that parent have the right to change everyone’s plans?

Dear Reader: The “right”? Does that mean that you are asserting a counter-right to risk making a tod-dler dangerously ill?

Miss Manners is gener-ally in favor of those with special requirements mak-ing accommodations for themselves without de-manding them of others. But when the mere prox-imity of something poses a threat, it is polite, as well as humane, to comply.

Dear Annie: I was in a long-distance relationship with “Jerry” for six years. He frequently spoke about commitment, but when he still wasn’t ready to do anything after all that time, I broke things o�.

Although our breakup wasn’t particularly acri-monious, it has been dif-ficult emotionally. I used to spend summers with Jerry and his now 9-year-old daughter. We devel-oped a close bond. I’ve only spoken to Jerry once since our breakup, but I’m wondering what I should do about his daughter. I still love her, but I don’t want to overstep my ex-status. How do I say goodbye from a distance?

— Miss Her, Not Him

Dear Miss: This is not an uncommon problem when couples split up.

There is still an attach-ment to the children, and more importantly, the children often feel the loss. Please talk to Jerry about this. Ask whether his daughter is having dif-ficulties with your break-up. Perhaps you could write her an occasional letter or email, maintain-ing a distant friendship so she knows you have not abandoned her. While you should do nothing to encourage a belief that you and Dad are getting back together, make sure she understands that she will always have a place in your heart.

Dear Annie: It is almost Thanksgiving, and my boyfriend has asked whether I would like to go to his daughter’s home for Thanksgiving. I thought that was nice of him, as my family does not live near me. He called his daughter to let her know I accepted the invitation. But he also said he told his daughter I am “stout.” I felt insulted. I called him the next day and made an excuse that I would be unavailable for Thanks-giving after all.

I am 20 pounds over-weight, but I have no bulges. His comment hurt me so much that I haven’t gone out with him since. Do you think he was rude to say this to his daughter?

— Not Stout

Dear Not: Yes. And just as rude to repeat it to you. We can think of no reason to justify his saying this to his daughter. Nonetheless, if this is the worst thing he has ever done in your relationship, please try to forgive him. Explain that you found his comment insulting and that you want him to stop discuss-ing your appearance with other people.

Jumble Daily Bridge Club

Today’s West was Grapefruit, my club’s sourpuss member. He was absent when mercy was passed out and always berates his partners.

North-South bid a game that was hopeless, at least in theory. Grapefruit led a heart, and South took dummy’s ace and cashed the K-A of clubs. When East’s queen fell, South continued with the jack.

East promptly ru�ed low, and South overru�ed and led a trump. East won and led a heart, but South took the king and led another trump. The queen and ace clashed, and South lost only two trumps and a diamond.

MAYONNAISE “Numbskull,” Grapefruit roared. “You

could be outwitted by a jar of mayon-naise.”

“I thought he would discard a heart loser on the high club,” East pleaded. Grapefruit told the kibitzers that East su�ered from clue deficit disorder.

If South had a heart loser, he would

hold a hand such as Q J 8 6 5, 7 5, A K 9 5, K 4. Then to start the clubs would make no sense. So East should have been sus-picious. Still, I can admire South’s play.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You’ll ease into a seemingly carefree Monday morning. By midday, you could notice a change in a key person’s demeanor. Tonight: Try to relax.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Your finances continue to be a main priority. How you see a personal matter could change quickly because of an un-expected choice and discussion. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★ You might want to be more circum-spect with your budget, as you never really know when there could be a problem. To-night: Pay the bills, then decide.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)★★★★ Defer to others. You might want to assume control, but allowing others to try out their ideas will benefit everyone. To-night: On center stage.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★★ You seem to be pushing past your normal limits. You know what you are ca-pable of, and you will be able to do whatever it takes to get there. Tonight: Vanish.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Know when to turn your back on a situation that no longer appeals to you. Understand what could happen if you be-come too involved and others start reacting. Tonight: Not everything has to be public knowledge.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★★ Be aware of your options when deal-ing with others who aren’t always as easy-going as you are. Honor a change within a relationship. Tonight: On a roll.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)★★★★ Allow yourself to see someone in his or her element. As a result, you might real-ize how unclear you have been about this individual. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★★ You would be wise to encourage others to express their feelings and ideas. You will get a better idea of what you are working with. Tonight: Be aware of a poten-tial misunderstanding.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★★★ You might seem strange to many people. Perhaps the reason has to do with them witnessing you transform in a very distinct way. Tonight: Clear out paperwork.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ You can be nurturing, but it is more by choice than an automatic response. You might feel frustrated. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)★★★★ Be aware that even after you come up with a practical path, others might not be in agreement. Be gracious. It is not easy to eat crow. Tonight: Let your imagination roam.

Horoscope

This year you develop a propensity for clarity. Know that others might react strongly to your questions, as they won’t be accustomed to reveal-ing so much. Be as diplomatic as pos-sible. If you are single, a relationship could be the result of a heated argu-ment between you and someone else. The chemistry will be overwhelming. If you are attached, understand that your significant other might choose to distance him- or herself rather than becoming involved in a nega-tive conversation. CANCER feels like you do, but he or she can express his or her feelings.

Reader is hesitant to overstep ex-status

By Jacqueline Bigar King Features Syndicate

In 1944, during World War II, the ammunition ship USS Mount Hood (AE-11) exploded while moored at the Manus Naval Base in the Admiralty Islands in the South Pacific; the blast annihilated the Mount Hood and damaged nearby vessels, leaving 45 confirmed dead and 327 missing and presumed dead.

In 1775, the U.S. Marines were organized under authority of the Continental Congress.

In 1871, journalist-explorer Henry M. Stanley found Scottish missionary David Livingstone, who had not been heard from for years, near Lake Tanganyika in central Africa.

In 1938, Kate Smith first sang Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” on her CBS radio program. Turkish statesman Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died in Istanbul at age 57.

In 1942, Winston Churchill delivered a speech in London in which he said, “I have

not become the King’s First Minister to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.”

In 1954, the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, depicting the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima in 1945, was dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in Arlington, Virginia.

In 1969, the children’s educational program “Sesame Street” made its debut on National Educational Television (later PBS).

In 1972, three armed men hijacked Southern Airways Flight 49, a DC-9 with 24 other passengers on board during a stopover in Birmingham, Alabama. (The 30-hour ordeal finally ended in Cuba, where the hijackers were taken into custody by Cuban authorities.)

In 1975, the ore-hauling ship SS Edmund Fitzgerald and its crew of 29 mysteriously sank during a storm in Lake Superior with the loss of all on board.

TODAY IN HISTORYToday is Monday, Nov. 10, the 314th day of 2014. There are 51 days left in the year.

MY ANSWER

To improve finances, ask God for wisdom

Q: I know this isn’t a spiritual question, but I just can’t seem to get ahead finan-cially. I can’t blame the economy because I have a good job and everything, but I keep making dumb decisions that only get me deeper in debt. Praying about it doesn’t seem to help. What should I do?

— L.W.

A: I’ve often said that God is concerned about everything that concerns us — and that includes our finances. In fact, the Bible often speaks about our money and how we ought to handle it.

You say you pray about your financial situation, but what exactly are you ask-ing God to do? Are you hoping He’ll just intervene somehow and straighten out everything that’s gone wrong? Or are you asking him instead for wisdom to help you understand why you’ve gotten into this predicament, and wisdom also to know what practical steps to take to get out of it?

I hope it’s the latter — because that’s the kind of prayer God wants to answer.

What can you do? First, ask God to help you discover what you’ve done wrong. Part of your problem, I suspect, is that you’ve been spending unwisely, buying things you don’t need or can’t a�ord. Is it because you’re trying to impress others? Is it just to make you feel good? Whatever the reason, face it honestly, and ask God to help you avoid it in the future.

Then ask God to help you take prac-tical steps to bring your finances under control. Get a realistic budget — and stick to it. Develop a systematic plan to get out of debt. Most of all, commit your money — and your entire life — to Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth.... But store up for your-selves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20).

All the quilts were hung by staf-ers with care knowing that the Da-vies Manor Association’s 18th annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show and Sale soon would be there. Just a couple of days before the show was open to the public various quilts were delivered for display for the Nov. 7-9 event.

There were quilts of all genres, from antique to contemporary, on display for the show at Hillwood at Davies Plantation. Patterned, appli-quéd and pieced quilts brightened up the inside of Hillwood spotlighting quilters from quilt and iber guilds of the Mid-South and other areas.

Modern quilters, Carolyn Bledsoe of Collierville, Kelly Young of Ger-mantown, Janet Middlekauf of Cor-dova and members of the Memphis Area Modern Quilt Guild, formed in May 2013, were irst-time partici-pants of the annual show. The group of quilters had everything on hand needed to demonstrate their mod-ern technique. Young, secretary of the MQG, said, “We welcome the guests to sit right down and learn our modern method of improvisa-tional piecing.” As for the technique of the MQG, Young describes it as more of a method than a true plan for sewing. Young created her quilt on display at Hillwood from her scraps. “Creating something unexpectedly beautiful,” she said.

Young, Middlekauf and Bledsoe, the newest quilter of the bunch, agree that being part of the show has been a great opportunity to share their work. As of last Saturday af-ternoon, the MQG had picked up two new members after seeing a dem-onstration of the modern technique.

The MQG meets the irst Saturday of every month, 2-5 p.m. Meeting de-tails are available on their Facebook page or themodernquiltguild.com.

In addition to quilters showcas-ing their pieces, there were vari-ous types of needle and hand work including weaving and spinning, and a number of vendors displayed their handy craftwork including jew-elry, rag rugs, Christmas gifts, dolls, woodworking and more.

As guests shopped and browsed the various quilts, they narrowed down their pick for the Viewer’s Choice Ballot for a Best of Show winner in each show category in-cluding weaving, mixed techniques, pieced machine quilted, pieced hand quilted, vintage, clothing and acces-sories, hand applique, hand quilted, wall quilts, holiday, and applique machine quilted. As they shopped and mingled with other quilt enthu-

siasts everyone enjoyed the beauti-ful sound of the harp played by Bill Butner, a local artist and Bartlett resident.

Outside on the plantation grounds, re-enactors presented live demonstrations of the way of life for our ancestors. Cordova resident, John Spain reenacted the Tennessee Militia to New Orleans in the Battle of New Orleans carrying a British Brown Bess musket. Guests touring the grounds visited the historic dog-trot-style log cabin that was moved to Davies from Libertyland in 2006, as well as tenant cabins, and the

Plant A Row for the Hungry Garden cared for by Memphis area Master Gardeners. The garden was full of fall and winter greens like broccoli, turnip greens, kale, as well as car-rots, garlic and more. Produce from the garden is donated to charitable organizations.

At Davies Manor, the two-story historic home at Davies Plantation, docents Virginia Shelton of Arling-ton and Stacie Shelton of Cordova, were dressed in historic garb as they greeted guests coming to tour the home.

Visitors got a peek into the daily life during pioneer days before elec-

tricity provided the comforts of air-conditioning and other amenities like indoor plumbing.

Tying everything together were the quilts displayed inside, outside and all around Davies Plantation for the annual quilt and iber show. As a docent of Davies Manor for seven years, Stacie Shelton says the quilts on loan for display throughout Da-vies Plantation add even more char-acter to the hobby of quilting — a hobby that was common in the pio-neer days and continues today.

When it comes to spring bulbs, snowdrops are often left out in the cold, at least in our region.

Several reasons may account for our ignorance of this worthy plant.

The nodding white flowers of Galanthus

nivalis ap-pear as early as J a n u a r y but most often in Febr ua r y — times when many of us would

rather be warm and cozy indoors than outdoors searching for elusive garden delights.

In some climates, snowdrops emerge through the snow to ind the sun and their admiring fans.

When snowdrops are happy, they reseed so readily that in time they will be so thick with blooms that they also resemble snowfall when none has been provided.

Because they are relatively small — about 4 to 10 inches tall with lowers 1 inch long or smaller — and hide their colorful parts inside their bell-shaped lowers, it’s easy to dismiss them as hardly worth the bother.

But after hearing Brian Duncan discuss their popularity in the United Kingdom, I’m ready to plant a few and see if they capture my heart.

Duncan, one of the most highly re-spected bulb experts in the U.K. and worldwide, spoke about snowdrops and dafodils recently at Dixon Gal-lery and Gardens.

Unusual varieties of the little white darlings have almost a cult follow-ing in the U.K. and can command big prices.

A single bulb of the variety Eliza-beth Harrison fetched 750 pounds (about $1,125) on an eBay auction two years ago when it was proclaimed “the world’s most expensive bulb.”

Collectors value EH for the vi-brant yellow markings on the exte-rior where the lower hangs from the scape and on the inner petals.

Elizabeth Harrison is probably the

utmost example of what Brits call “se-riously good snowdrops.”

“People travel for miles on freez-ing dark winter days to admire them, often kneeling in snow or wet soil to see inside them,” Duncan said. Galan-thophiles gather in clubs devoted to the appreciation of these ephemeral beauties.

Some of them carry “peep sticks,” or canes with a mirror at the bottom, so they see the interiors of the lower without bending over.

Throughout the British Isles, pub-lic gardens draw fans to “Snowdrop Days” celebrating their arrival.

Especially prized are double-low-ering varieties such as Flora Pleno and Sybil Roberta and “greenies,”which have green markings on the petals as well as the interior of the lower.

Sam Arnott is a green variety rec-ommended in the catalog for Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, an online com-pany in Virginia that supplies bulbs to Dixon Gallery and Gardens.

“We have several patches of snow-drops in the woodland garden, and I’d like to have some more,” said Dale Skaggs, Dixon’s director of horticul-

ture. “In fact, I’m going to order some right now so they will be blooming when I do my winter walk program next year. I love the garden in winter.”

Dan West Garden Centers at 4763 Poplar and 12061 U.S. 64 in Eads are selling packages of ive snowdrop bulbs for $7.99.

It’s best to plant them in or near a wooded area where they will get much sun in the winter and light shade in other seasons. Now is the time to install them so the tops of the bulbs are 2 to 3 inches deep and about 3 inches apart.

(If you know of any other local sources for snowdrops, let me know at [email protected] so I can publicize them next week.)

You can order snowdrop bulbs from brentandbeckysbulbs.com (877-661-2852) or from other seed and bulb companies.

Members of the Mid-South Dafo-dil Society plan to sell them at their next sale in fall 2015.

Who knows? Maybe snowdrops will begin to pop up more often in public and home gardens all around the Mid-South.
