Shouldn’t we all take time to thank others?

Most of us will never bask in the unrequited glory of a stadium filled with adoring fans. That seems to be a station in life reserved for sports heroes, rock stars, evangelical ministers and the occasional politician.

What must it feel like to have thousands of people cheering uncontrollably because you’re there, because of what you’ve done and because of what you might do?

As part of the crowd for one of these lovefests, I’ve felt my own blood pressure rise simply because of the excitement around me. And I’m just anonymously along for the ride, not even an afterthought in the day’s celebration.

More than anything else, perhaps a crowd’s frenzy serves as validation of the recipient’s life lived well.

Truthfully, and perhaps a little bit secretly, it’s a good feeling when people seem to like us, and it’s even more of a rush when they love us. The power of appreciation is immeasurable in terms of what it does for the recipient. And energetically giving thanks seems to make givers happy, too.

Why is it, then, that most of us slog through each day doing our jobs and living our lives without handing out or receiving meaningful recognition? Or if we are recognized, it’s for a negative rather than a positive? Why is mocking someone online or chewing them out behind their back more common than saying “thank you”?

And what’s the ultimate point of life if, at the end of the journey, we’re unlikely to be feted in a stadium, much less than receive boundless praise from those around us?

This month’s story about neighborhood residents who were part of World War II answers those questions. These are people who, for the most part, didn’t set out to be heroes, didn’t strut around after taking their turn, and didn’t expect to be patted on the back when they came home. Instead, they dug in and did their jobs, perhaps hoping the satisfaction of a job well done would be appreciation enough for the sacrifices they made.

On a global scale, we’ve worn out and, to a certain extent, devalued the moniker “the greatest generation” by essentially commercializing this dwindling group of heroes.

But their life-changing bravery and sense of

responsibility a generation ago remains a gift the rest of us continue to enjoy every day.

It just so happens we’re entering our country’s annual time of thanksgiving for the good things impacting our lives. These war-veteran neighbors deserve a stadium full of adulation.

But failing that, they deserve a pat on the back directly from us. And for that matter, so do our

Why is mocking someone online or chewing them out behind their back more common than saying “thank you”?

families and our teachers and our co-workers and maybe even some of our bosses.

Being appreciated isn’t necessary to live a good life. It isn’t required to be happy. But it sure doesn’t hurt to let people know we’re thankful for them. It’s kind of like creating our own little stadium of support for the relatively anonymous around us who deserve our respect, even though they probably aren’t holding their breath waiting to receive it.

BLOG SERIES: ‘CIVIC PUNCHING BAG’

THE FLU DOESN’T CARE THAT IT’S YOUR WEEK WITH THE GRANDKIDS.

For two weeks in September, it looked quite possible that Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa would leave the district to take the head job at Clark County schools in Las Vegas, roughly twice the size of DISD. News headlines told us he was resigning, then told us he wasn’t, then he was one of three finalists, then the DISD board, after declining twice to extend his contract past 2012, voted to extend it until 2015, and then Hinojosa was passed over for the Vegas job.

Advocate publisher Rick Wamre followed the back and forth on our Back Talk blog and, amid the hullabaloo, gave two cents of his own — or more like a quarter’s worth.

Read post excerpts below, and for the full posts, plus links to much of the news coverage, visit and search: Hinojosa.

A SOLUTION TO DISD’S BIGGEST PROBLEM 09.20.10 There’s something fundamentally wrong with a job description that requires one person to be both a right-brain and a left-brain genius. That person may, indeed, exist. But if that person really is out there, he or she is by definition way too smart to take a job as DISD superintendent.

Talk about a dumb career move: Who in their right mind would want a job that is a guaranteed political minefield, one that will assuredly result in you being

VEGAS BOARD VOTES 6-1 AGAINST HINOJOSA

09.29.10 In a weird way, this whole thing could be a turning point for DISD. The board has now given Hinojosa more than four additional years to run the district. And once he signs the contract, he’ll have his money guaranteed. That puts him in a unique position to take some dramatic action in Dallas to continue turning around the district, and it could make him a motivated man on a mission because he really has nothing to lose. Think D.C.’s Michelle Rhee with a whole lot more guaranteed money.

DISD trustee Edwin Flores, who was part of a panel discussion after a screening of the education documentary “Waiting for Superman”, said something interesting: He predicted that within 10 years, DISD will have one of two structures — either the district will be a veritable multi-pronged collection of public and charter schools, or 130,000 of its 160,000 students will be enrolled in charter schools.

SHOULD HE STAY OR GO? 09.19.10 It wasn’t the relentless carping by teachers’ groups that turned Michael Hinojosa into a civic punching bag. It wasn’t the endless stream of Dallas Morning News investigative stories (and blog comments) about this or that DISD shortcoming that destroyed the man’s spirit. It wasn’t the surprise $64 million budget shortfall two years ago that permanently damaged his reputation. It wasn’t even the currently divided school board, which has three or four automatic “no” votes for just about any initiative Hinojosa brings forward. All of that contributed to Hinojosa’s ongoing flirtation with the Las Vegas school system, but none was the final straw.

Instead, it was the oddly timed and ill-fated powergrab by Mayor Tom Leppert to take DISD control away from Hinojosa and the board that ultimately made DISD’s superintendent realize that he had better look after himself because no one who counts in Dallas was going to cover his back. ... We’ve collectively created a toxic environment that Hinojosa can no longer stand, even for $300,000 a year and even though he’s a Dallas guy through-and-through who likely would have been happy to end his career here had we given him the chance.

CAN TÜRKYILMAZ called a racist and an idiot, even if you’re being paid $300,000 a year? The job expectancy is only around three years, so about the time you’re getting settled and have surrounded yourself with people you can trust, you’ll be shown the door for some perceived failing that will likely damage your future career prospects and might not even involve what you’re best at doing.

That’s the situation we’re in right now with the job description for DISD superintendent. The single person running the district is equally responsible for everything financial and everything academic. And I submit to you, that’s a big, big mistake. We need to break the superintendent’s position into two separate jobs staffed by two separate people. That’s right — we need an academic superintendent and a financial superintendent, and both should be independent of each other and report directly to the school board.

And here’s the other beautiful part of that plan: Suddenly, the school board is responsible for hiring and/or firing the person for each position independently, so we as stakeholders know exactly who to hold accountable for what.

Noel Tardy took a ukulele lesson during a Hawaiian vacation eight years ago, and when she returned to Dallas, she had a hard time finding strings, sheet music and other ukulele accoutrements. “There really wasn’t even much available on the internet at the time,” she says. So the Preston Hollow resident became the Ukulele Lady of Dallas, selling instruments and other uke-related stuff online at ukeladymusic.com. This past summer, she opened a ukulele shop near White Rock Lake, and she’s already finding ways to give back to the community. The store is inside Keep U N Stitches, the custom embroidery shop that fellow ukulele enthusiast Gina Volpe opened at Buckner and Northcliff in 1997. The shop has a selection of 30 or so ukuleles on display in a range of prices from $30 to $4,000 (for serious musicians). Tardy and Volpe host an open mike night at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month, and on the second Saturday of every month, they give free ukulele lessons starting at 10 a.m. Of all the string instruments, ukulele is one of the easiest to learn, Tardy says. “You can play so many genres of music on a ukulele,” Tardy says. “It’s little, and it’s NoeL tArdy Gives free UkULeLe LessoNs portable. You can take it anywhere.” She and Volpe started a nonprofit, Ukes in the Classroom starting at 10 a.m. every second Saturday Texas, to help provide music study in North Texas elementary schools. So far, they’ve given 24 at Keep U N Stitches, 718 N. Buckner Blvd. ukuleles to two schools, and they provide free instruction for the music teachers. “Ukulele is Otherwise, her rate is $35 an hour. If you buy an ideal instrument to introduce kids to music,” Tardy says. There are some 300 people in the five lessons, the sixth is free, and she offers discounts for siblings taking lessons together.

They’re fiNd more iNformAtioN a quirky group of Hawaiian-shirt-wearing strummers, and they don’t take themselves too at ukeladymusic.com, lonestarukefest.com seriously.

writer in residence Touting a Yale Law School degree, Amy Bourret set out to protect society’s most vulnerable, working as a child advocacy lawyer. But in her debut novel, the Preston Hollow resident explores a situation in which a mother must fight to keep a child that wasn’t hers to begin with. Now out on paperback, “Mothers & Other Liars” follows Ruby who, at 19 years old, makes a splitsecond decision to rescue an abandoned baby from an Oklahoma rest stop. Ten years later, she has a picture-perfect life with her daughter, Lark, surrounded by a loving community. All of that begins to crumble when the real parents emerge, searching for their kidnapped daughter. “The foundations for the protagonist, Ruby, comes from my work,” Bourret says. “She faced some pretty devastating choices. You take a child, rip him out of his home; from society’s standards we’re protecting him, but from his perspective, that’s all he’s known.” Bourret says child advocacy work requires thick skin, and she couldn’t handle it full-time.

So she switched to the corporate realm, working a few pro-bono cases on the side.

She eventually stopped practicing law to focus on writing. “I kept going, and then said, ‘Well, I think I’m writing a novel.’ ” Bourret is dreaming up a second novel, but will only share the details with her critique group that has been meeting at Dunston’s Steakhouse for the past 10 years. “We just call ourselves the ‘Dunston’s Group’,” she says. “It’s not just about the writing. Over the years, they have become very important to me.” —EMILY TOMAN MOTHERS AND OTHER LIARS $10 paperback; available at Target, Borders, Barnes & Noble, amazon.com and amybourret.com

A guide to dining & drinking in our neighborhood

TURKEY TIME

EaTzI’s pIonEEREd the idea of not cooking at home. “We fired Mom,” executive chef Jay Valley says. As Thanksgiving approaches, the takeout market offers a holiday meal for four at just $18 for an alternative to grocery store meals to-go. And it’s all there — sliced turkey, sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, wild rice salad, gravy and green beans.

With 35 different types of bread and 400 varieties of wine, Eatzi’s has Thanksgiving dinner covered, right down to the flowers you put on the table. “We try to keep it traditional,” Valley says. “When we have our Christmas menu, that’s when we get to experiment more.”

A trip inside the eatery resembles an authentic European market with a smorgasbord of gourmet foods, and the place is crawling with employees appropriately dressed in white chef uniforms. There’s the bread station, the deli, the dinner to-go area, the meat market and rows of wine bottles. Valley says that unlike similar establishments, Eatzi’s is 80 percent prepared and only 40 percent grocery. The market on Oak Lawn has thrived since 1996, and the Inwood Village location opened in April. Valley has been in the business for more than 30 years, and has learned a few tricks to running a successful restaurant. “It’s having good, fresh, consistent food. Listen to your customers. They’ll tell you what they want. You make it their store.”

BOUCHAINE ESTATE CHARDONNAY 2007 ($23) CALIFORNIA>

Go ahead, take credit for delicious free-range, oven-roasted turkey or whipped organic garnet sweet potatoes. No one needs to know it was from Central Market.

Save time and call our holiday hotline.

It’s time for my annual holiday and Thanksgiving wine plea: Drink what you like, and don’t worry about food pairings. The next couple of months are about celebration and appreciating the good fortune that has given us the opportunity to be with family and friends. It’s not about wine geekdom, comparing snob notes, and boring everyone with your visit to Napa and how special it was. If someone at Thanksgiving dinner likes white zinfandel, then let him drink white zinfandel.

This month’s wine suggestions are firmly in that vein.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone, and a couple of the wines would make nice gifts for the wine drinker on your holiday list. All are available at Central Market.

Don’t be afraid to experiment: &KDWHDX %DUDW 5RVH This is not just a stunning wine, but a steal at $10. It’s made by the Lurtons, one of France’s premier winemaking families, and it comes from quality Bordeaux fruit.

You can’t say that about most rosés. Look for lots of strawberry fruit, but don’t be surprised if it morphs into something with a long, minerally finish. %RXFKDLQH (VWDWH &KDUGRQQD\ Winemaker Michael Richmond is a Dallas native who ended up in California 40 years ago and found himself in the wine business. That’s our good fortune. This white wine is more fruit than oak (think lime), and shows just how interesting California chardonnay can be. .XQGH 6RQRPD &DEHUQHW 6DXYLJQRQ Kunde has made solid, dependable wine for years, a family-run winery that has successfully competed with the corporate-ization of the California wine business. It’s an old-fashioned and much appreciated wine: lower alcohol, raspberry fruit and balance.

Thanksgiving leftovers The most pressing food problem this time of year is not what to cook, but what to do with the leftover turkey. So here are several suggestions to remedy that problem: 7XUNH\ 5HXEHQ VDQGZLFKHV from the November 2009 Advocate: perfect for the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

-XOLD &KLOG·V WXUNH\ KDVK from her epic “The Way to Cook”: A lot of work, but well worth the effort.

7XUNH\ IULWWDWD This baked omelet requires nothing more than eggs, leftover turkey and whatever cheese and vegetables are in the refrigerator. Mix all together, put in an over-proof pan, and pop in a 350-degree oven until the eggs are set.

7XUNH\ VRXS One of the best versions comes form Jacques Pepin’s “Cooking with Claudine”, which uses turkey and the leftover carcass.

7XUNH\ IDMLWDV Slice the leftover turkey and marinate it in lime juice and soy sauce with sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic for 30 minutes or so. Drain the marinade, and saute the vegetables until browned. Then add the turkey to warm it up.

THEY CHANGED THE WORLD What it means to be part of The Greatest Generation

W

E WAIT ALONGSIDE them in the grocery checkout line and hurry past them on the street. They are members of our churches and grandparents to our children, but how often do we pause to ponder the content of their lives?

As teenagers and 20-somethings, they traveled to distant countries, knowing they might die there, and returned to lives forever altered by their experiences. They risked their lives, left jobs, and cast passions and aspirations aside until their missions were fulfilled.

“I didn’t think I was coming back.

I thought I had a 1 percent chance.”

SAM KOGUTT

Indeed, all who served in World War II — in battle or supporting roles — deserve unyielding gratitude, but as each Veterans Day passes, the time for thanks dwindles. We can still shake their hands and hear their stories, but for how much longer?

Sam Kogutt sat with his family at the kitchen table and listened as the news transmitted over the radio.

Pearl Harbor had been attacked.

Kogutt hadn’t even turned 16, but he had already made his decision.

“I knew right then and there that I would be in the Army,” he says.

And he’d get there as soon as he could. After enlisting at age 17 during his senior year of high school, the Army placed him in the Reserves until he turned 18. To go overseas, he had to turn 18 by the Dec. 1 cutoff, and Kogutt’s birthday was Dec. 9, so he asked his commanding officer if he could be deployed early.

“He said, ‘No, you’ll go soon enough.’

He probably saved my life.”

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the ranks of World War II vets are shrinking by about 1,200 a day nationwide.

A few of those who have retired in Preston Hollow take time to recall, for those of us who weren’t there, an era that shaped the world.

If you run into one of them today, it might be the right time to say

(continued on page 24)

“thank you”.

south of the Ruhr River. Kogutt will never forget the battle at Siegburg, where his unit lined up behind the levees to cross the Sieg River.

“The Germans knew we were there.

They dropped mortar shells up and down the levee and got a lot of our guys.

I was covered in dirt. That was as close as I’ve ever been to death. Right there, I had a talk with the man up above.”

His division captured Siegburg along with its final objective, Düsseldorf, where soldiers set up a command post and prepared to move into Czechoslovakia. Along the way, the division liberated a concentration camp in Flossenburg, rescuing about 2,000 sick prisoners and finding countless corpses. Kogutt’s company arrived afterward.

“I went into the main office,” he says. “My commander wouldn’t let me go any farther.”

The experience hit home for Kogutt, a man of Jewish faith. Only decades later would he discover the amazing connection between that event and another Dallas resident.

He arrived back in the States in June on the U.S.S. Brazil for a 30-day furlough and was reunited with his family — something he never expected to happen.

“I didn’t think I was coming back.

I thought I had a 1 percent chance.”

The soldiers then prepared to invade Japan, leaving on a ship from Seattle.

Kogutt laughs because he still remembers the song that played as they depart-

future clients.

ed, “Gonna take a sentimental journey …”

But before they left, the soldiers received word that U.S. forces dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and, three days later, Nagasaki. The war was over. If not for that, Kogutt says, “there wouldn’t be a chance I’d be talking to you today. A whole generation of American men would have been wiped out.”

His division continued on to Japan as an occupation force during fall 1945.

After his Army days, Kogutt received a business degree from the University of Texas at Austin. After a few ventures, he settled in Preston Hollow, joined Congregation Shearith Israel and owned DART Manufacturing Co. He retired in 1999.

One year, Kogutt’s grandson took a trip overseas to experience Israel’s Independence Day and visit former concentration camp sites in Europe.

The trip is an annual expedition for students at Yavneh Academy, an orthodox Jewish high school in our neighborhood. Kogutt later read a story published in the Dallas Morning News about the areas the teenagers visited.

“The last one listed was Flossenburg,” Kogutt says. “I couldn’t believe it.”

He contacted a Holocaust survivor mentioned in the story, Max Glauben, who accompanied the students on the trip. The two met over lunch at a local deli and later spoke during a Veterans Day presentation at Yavneh Academy.

“After I spoke about my experiences, Max got up and said, ‘His division liberated my camp.’ He and I have been friends ever since.”

FRED WIEDEMANN

“We were liberators back then.”

FRED WIEDEMANN While soldiers in the Army, Air Force and Marines endured weeks of intense boot camp, Fred Wiedemann pored over textbooks for months, studying for the rigorous exam required by the United States Naval Academy.

“They were laughing at the amount of physical work we had to do,” Wiedemann says.

But he had always dreamed of making it to Annapolis, ever since he saw the 1937 film “Navy Blue and Gold”, starring Robert Young and James Stewart.

“It sounds silly, but it struck my heart.

I decided I wanted to go there.”

Six months after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, 18-year-old Wiedemann passed up a Cornell scholarship and joined the Navy.

He still remembers his number, 440879, reciting it like it’s his telephone number.

He took speed-up courses, which crammed four years of training into three, covering everything from electrical engineering to navigation.

“We didn’t get a day off for about three

26

NOV EMBER 2010 pres tonhollow.ad vocatemag.com

years,” he says.

After what he calls a terrible first year, Wiedemann ended up in the top 10 percent of his class. After graduating in spring 1945, he was posted to the Little Rock, a light cruiser equipped with guns six inches in diameter and 40-millimeter cannons. And so began his life at sea.

“Navy life was a very attractive lifestyle for many people,” Wiedemann says.

But it required a strict regimen.

“We were under watch-on, watch-off — four hours on and four hours off, day and night. Someone could snap their fingers, and I could fall asleep or wake up. I loved it. I enjoyed Navy life, even though it was tough. We were a happy-go-lucky bunch.”

Fortunately for Wiedemann, the atomic bomb ended the war in the Pacific before his ship made it to the invasion. He describes the energy onboard as “exuberant”.

“It was a very happy occasion. They knew they were going home.”

After the war, the Little Rock sailed the

coast of South America and was the first U.S. Naval ship to sail around the treacherous Cape Horn since the SpanishAmerican War. “It can get terribly rough down there,” Wiedemann says. “At the end, our ship rolled a lot — the maximum you can roll without tipping over.”

The sailors continued on to the North Sea to monitor Russian submarine passages between Greenland and Iceland. Later, they made goodwill visits to Brazil and other smaller South American countries.

Wiedemann eventually chose family life over Navy life and resigned his commission in 1947. He went into the insurance business, moved to Preston Hollow in 1952, and helped develop the Royal Northaven neighborhood, where he has lived with his wife ever since.

After visiting nearly 30 foreign countries throughout the Mediterranean, Baltic and Atlantic regions during his time in the Navy, Wiedemann spent the rest his life traveling the globe.

“We were liberators back then. It really was a lot of fun. It whetted my appetite for a lot of world travel.”

You did things more in a hurry back then because you didn’t know what your future was going to be.”

JOHN SUTHERLAND

JOHN SUTHERLAND John Sutherland was serving as an Army Air Force mechanic, stationed at Seymour Johnson Field in Goldsboro, N.C., where he worked on B-25s and trained American and French combat pilots. (The Air Force became a separate branch of the Armed Services in 1947; until that point, it was part of the Army’s Air Corps and collectively known as the Army Air Force.)

Sutherland first noticed Bea at a USO dance.

“I always loved to dance. She had on a black skirt, a white blouse and a bright red belt — that caught my attention. She was always dancing with someone. I had to keep cutting in. I asked her for a date for the next day.”

After a six-week courtship, he proposed.

“She said she had to think about it,” he says with a smile.

The two appeared in “Love Stories of World War II,” compiled by CNN’s Larry King. Published in 2001, the book profiles different couples and what it was like to be in love during a time of such uncertainty. Some stories are filled with romance, while others end tragically.

“People were leaving, and you might get killed,” Sutherland says. “You did things more in a hurry back then because you didn’t know what your future was going to be.”

28

He married Bea shortly before leaving for Riverside, Calif., where soldiers were preparing to invade Japan.

“I wrote her just about every day while we were apart.”

Fortunately, their story had a happy ending after the atomic bomb was dropped, and Sutherland never saw combat. He retired in 1965 as a lieutenant colonel, and went to work for Sun Oil Company, settling in Preston Hollow. He and his wife were married for nearly 60 years and traveled the world together, visiting all 50 states and 72 countries. She died of cancer eight years ago.

“We had a nice life,” he says. “I can’t complain.”

When King’s book came out, Sutherland bought several copies, and gave them all to his family as Christmas presents.

“And I said, ‘In case you’re interested, look on page 77.’ That’s the first they had heard about it.”

He has one daughter, four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Two of his three grandsons joined the military.

One brought home an American flag that flew during a mission in Iraq; the flag now sits in Sutherland’s dining room.

“I’m quite proud of what they’ve done. I guess I’ve been lucky all my life.”

More than 300 World War II veterans from Dallas are on a waiting list to take an all-expense paid, overnight tour to Washington, D.C., to see the National WWII Memorial.

A local nonprofit was founded on the belief that all of them deserve to see it before it’s too late.

Honor Flight of Dallas, based near Preston Hollow, aims to get as many WWII vets as possible to the monument — “their memorial”, organizers emphasize. They offer the opportunity twice a year, in May and October. Last month, 41 veterans took the trip.

“It is a shame our country waited until a few years ago to build a monument to the greatest generation,” Honor Flight of Dallas president Rhonda Ensey says.

Honor Flight originally was organized in 2004 in Ohio, and Honor Flight of Dallas began in 2008.

Ensey says money is the biggest challenge when it comes to getting the veterans to D.C. She and the other volunteers work hard to raise it, sometimes collecting donations outside Walmart.

Volunteers lead the two-day adventure that includes a bus tour with professional tour guides through D.C. In addition to the WWII memorial, the travelers visit Arlington Cemetery, the Iwo Jima Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Veterans memorials. They also spend an afternoon at Walter Reed Hospital with wounded Iraqi war veterans. Tom Gardner, who took the trip in May, called the experience an event he will remember for the rest of his life.

“Honor Flight made 35 old soldiers feel proud, feel worthy, and feel young again,” he says.

Older vets and those with terminal illness take top priority during the Honor Flight selection process.

Application forms are available on honorflightofdallas.org.

students, they’re some of Hillcrest High School’s amateur scientists.

The Hillcrest Biomedical Group conducts actual, scientific research in the MacDonald Laboratory at UT Southwestern Medical Center, executing graduate-level procedures. Each year, the students attend the annual conference for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, hearing from thousands of scientists from around the globe, including Nobel Prize winners. Last year, Hillcrest students presented their own research on protein modeling.

Kelly Stein, Biomedical Group president and Hillcrest senior, says they were probably the only high school group attending the conference, much less sharing work.

“It was just us and other graduate students,” she says. “You could tell they were impressed.”

Hillcrest science teacher Dr. Ward Coats advises the extracurricular group, recruiting students who commit to work at least two shifts in the lab each month.

Several students even spent 40 hours a week in the lab over the summer.

“We’re trying to put young people into the life sciences because there just aren’t enough people doing that,” he says.

In March, Coats received a $10,000 grant from Toyota and the National Science Teachers Association for his innovative work in secondary science education. The award helps fund the students’ research.

This year’s project involves the crystallization of proteins, analyzing the transcription factor PTF1 — a key regulator of pancreatic development in the embryonic stage. When students isolate it, they can determine its function and identify where it bonds within the entire genome. Eventually, they could discover where the organ doesn’t develop properly in specific genes.

Lauren Schuller has been in the Biomedical Group since her freshman year, when all the formulas and apparatuses seemed quite complicated — way beyond what’s covered in class.

Now, as a senior, she nods her head as Coats helps plan out procedures in the lab, sometimes beating him to the answers.

“We come in as freshmen, and everything is new, the equipment is new,”

Schuller says. “It’s very intimidating, but we work through it. We’ve learned a lot.”

Coats says the students are performing procedures that he didn’t know how to do until graduate school, when he worked in the lab until all hours of the morning.

“The best thing you’ll ever experience is when an experiment that you designed works, and it gives you that ‘aha’ moment,” he tells his students.

But like any successful school program, parent involvement is key, Coats says, from making sure the students get to the lab each week to leading important fundraising initiatives such as the pajama sale, which will help send the students to the April ASBMB conference in Washington, D.C., where they plan to present their research again.

“Without the parents, this program would not exist,” he says.

Alisann Marshall, whose daughter, Andrea, has been a long-time participant in the group, says the experience these students receive each week automatically makes their résumés stand out.

“When you’re 17 years old, to be able to say that your first work experience was at a biomedical lab, that’s pretty good,” Marshall says.

To remain in the group, students must maintain passing grades. That’s a cinch for these wiz kids who take all Advanced Placement classes and juggle other extracurricular activities such as cheerleading, volleyball and National Honor Society.

For Nicholas Osborn, a National Merit Scholar semifinalist, the Biomedical Group has been invaluable. In fact, he transferred to Hillcrest from a private school in Mesquite for the program — something he’d never seen at the high school level.

“This is practically unprecedented,” Osborn says. “At the end of sophomore year, I was simply sold. Biology is my passion. This just resonates with me.”

Once in a while, seemingly unrelated circumstances collide into a sort of miracle of timing. We call them “coincidences”, but through the eyes of faith, they are often something more. They are hints of God’s presence — what author SQuire Rushnell (that’s really how he spells his name) calls “God Winks”.

In his book, “When God Winks: How the Power of Coincidence Guides Your Life”, Rushnell offers definition: “A God Wink is ... a message of reassurance coming when you most need it: when you’re at a crossroads in your life, and when instability is all around. It might be said, in fact, that coincidences are the best way for God to establish a perpetual presence in your life”.

Someone else defined coincidence as a time when God acts anonymously.

I experienced such a time on the evening of Sept. 8, 2010. That was when a tornado hit downtown Dallas, then made its way up the Dallas North Tollway.

I was in the sanctuary of our church that evening, orienting a group of youth who were going to serve as readers in worship. Suddenly someone came bursting into the room, announcing with some urgency that a twister was headed up the Tollway toward our location on Walnut Hill Lane. All who happened to be in the building that evening were told to head for Emmanuel Hall, a large choir rehearsal space at the center of the building with no windows. Attendees at committee meetings, classes and other gatherings were herded quickly into the hall to wait out the storm.

As it happened — and this is where the coincidence begins — Emmanuel Hall was also the place where a musical rehearsal was in progress. The next evening, the Claire College Choir from Cambridge, England, was to be in concert as a part of their American tour. If you don’t know the Claire College Choir, you may want to listen to one of their recordings. They are one of the finest choirs in the world. But its members are also college students, and English scholars are not accustomed to tornado warnings.

To put it mildly, they were terrified at this

scene, right out of “The Wizard of Oz”.

So what were we to do? The obvious solution was to invite the choir to sing for all those who were waiting out the threat of the tornado. So there we were — an odd assortment of folks seeking shelter from the storm — when one of the world’s finest choirs overcame their fear and broke into the beautiful German “Evening Song” by Josef Rheinberger. The room became

Claire College Choir is one of the finest choirs in the world. But its members are also college students, and English scholars are not accustomed to tornado warnings. To put it mildly, they were terrified at this scene, right out of “The Wizard of Oz”. hushed, and a strange peace began to replace the fear. The strains of that perfectly blended choir washed over us, and imparted a gentle evening blessing.

It was a holy moment. A coincidence?

Perhaps. A God Wink? I suspect so. It served as a timeless reminder of the power of sacred music to soothe the human soul. The songs are always there to see us through, until the storms pass.

TRUE CRIME

THEY SQUEEZED THE TRAILER OUT OF THE TIGHTEST OF SPOTS.

James and Holly Lee love spending time out in the country with their sons at their deer lease in Seymour. They enjoy hunting dove and deer, and generally have a great time as a family.

“We have two boys,” Holly Lee says. “So if I want to hang out with them, I go, too.”

Recently, Lee says, they had their 16-foot trailer at home for an upcoming trip to the lease.

“We haul our jeep back and forth to the deer lease with it,” she says.

They had planned to haul some other items to Seymour, and the trailer had been parked in the rear driveway of their Prestonwood East home for several days. Around the same The Victim: James and Holly Lee time, however, the Lees had some work done on The Crime: Trailer theft their home, including replacing the garage door. Date: Thursday, Sept. 23 Because of this, they parked the trailer on the Time: Between 11 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. street in the front for one day while the replace- Location: 7400 block of Authon ment was underway. They moved their cars, parking them close to both ends of the trailer so that someone wouldn’t be able drive up, hitch the trailer to a truck, and drive off.

Despite their efforts, the next morning the trailer was gone. The Lees had forgotten to lock the trailer latch, and crooks had somehow managed slide the trailer away from the curb so that it could be driven off.

“The one day that we moved it out front, it got stolen,” Lee says.

The Lees are already looking for another trailer, and expect it will cost about $1,500 to replace. But with deer season approaching, the family is already planning another trip to the great outdoors.

Dallas Police Lt. Barry Payne of the North Central Patrol Division advises that residents never leave a trailer parked on a residential street not connected to a vehicle because it is not only a parking violation, but also a target for thieves.

“There are two major reasons why these trailers are stolen. Obviously, the number one reason is for resell,” Payne says. “The second reason to steal a trailer is for personal use. Many people regularly haul equipment and such, and they use them for that.

“Trailers are required to be registered and licensed like vehicles. And when stolen, they can be listed on the National Crime Information Center database. Should an officer come in contact with the trailer and check it on the system, it will be reported as stolen, and can be recovered.” —SEAN CHAFFIN
