Mayor moves to take on pension system personally

From keranews.org Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings filed a lawsuit Monday to stop the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System from allowing retirees to pull their deferred retirement funds from the ailing system.

Rawlings filed the lawsuit as a private citizen. His attorney wrote in the lawsuit that he believes the pension board is "willingly failing" to perform its duty. It asks a judge to issue an injunction to stop the withdrawals, which the mayor asked the board to do in a letter last week.

"Because (deferred retirement) participants do not have any right to a lump-sum withdrawal of (deferred retirement) funds, this method of payment may only be used when the pension system is solvent, liquid and actuarially sound," the lawsuit contends. It also states that the pension system's staff is close to liquidating assets to pay for the withdrawals.

More than $500 million in deferred retirement funds have been withdrawn since August, worsening the fund's finances. A study commissioned by the pension board projected that the fund will be insolvent in less than 15 years if no changes are made to the benefits received by members or to the amount of money the city contributes.

Rawlings issued a statement through a spokeswoman Monday.

"As a 40-year resident and taxpayer of the City of Dallas, I have chosen to personally file suit in District Court not only to protect the retirement benefits of all our police and fire personnel, but also to

City faces financial crisis over police and fire pension system. protect the pocketbooks of all my fellow citizens and taxpayers. I am funding this suit and at no time will any taxpayer dollars be expended in this effort," Rawlings wrote.

In a hearing Monday, State District Judge Tonya Parker heard arguments regarding the restraining order, but she punted, according to the Dallas Morning News. Both sides agreed to wait until after the pension's board of trustees meet on Thursday.

HOUSE CALL

Count on seasonal affective disorder

By Dr. Kim Washington washington.k@att.net

The winter brings lots of changes, not just from the weather — ­­ resulting in shorter periods of sunlight and perceived longer work days — but also emotionally. Some call it seasonal depression or the winter Dr. Washington blues, but medically, it is referred to as seasonal affective disorder. This condition most often occurs in the fall and winter months and resolves in the spring and summer.

The cause of seasonal affective disorder is not known for certain, however, the most likely causes of these emotional changes are disruption in your biological clock (or circadian rhythm), a drop in serotonin levels, or disruption of melatonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, or chemical produced by the brain, that affects mood. Higher serotonin levels give a feeling of euphoria, while low levels result in a depressed mood. Melatonin is a chemical made in the body that affects sleep patterns and mood. Any alteration in these chemicals within the brain can result in disruptions of normal mood cycles.

Most of the symptoms are relatively easy to ascertain — irritability, tiredness or low energy,

hypersensitivity to rejection, oversleeping, appetite changes or weight gain. These typically occur in those who suffer from fall or winter seasonal affective disorder. For those whose symptoms occur in the spring and summer, symptoms may include depression, insomnia, weight loss, poor appetite or anxiety.

Treatment of seasonal affective disorder is mainly light therapy. There are two types – bright light treatment and dawn simulation.

Bright light treatment is where the patient is given a light box to place a certain distance from your desk — this is used while reading, eating breakfast or working on a computer. Dawn simulation is where a dim light goes on in the morning while you sleep and gets brighter over time, as if to simulate sunrise. Light therapy is usually prescribed for 30 minutes to 2 hours per day. The effects are usually seen within a week or so of consistent treatment.

It is normal to feel down some days; however, if you have long periods of time when you feel sad or depressed, you should see your doctor. Consider seeking out medical attention sooner rather than later if these feelings of sadness or excessive fatigue result in curbing your normal activities.

Dr. Kimberly Washington, a general surgeon at Highlander Surgical Associates in Arlington, maintains an interest in health education and advocacy.

What a tragedy this weekend in my home town of Oakland, where dozens lost their lives in a reprehensible fire. And while the bodies are still being uncovered and the blame for the flame is yet to be imparted, here are some thoughts. I have been in several of these live/work warehouses in the Fruitvale district. This place clearly had horrible code violations, like a stairway made from pallets and only two exists in a 10,000sq. ft. building without fire sprinklers. But in a city with so many financial issues, Oakland doesn’t have the proper staff to keep up with violators. Plus, it is so expensive to live there that people are always searching for alternative ways to live within their means. And obvious, there is a cult culture there. Still, just a senseless loss of life. I got very emotional Monday when I saw the downtown Dallas Omni lit up the hotel with the word “OAKLAND.” Incredibly classy move that still can’t ease the pain … Stubborn to the EDITOR cont'd on page 11

No holiday on waste reduction

By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

The holidays are about connecting with friends and family and sharing in the season of giving. When did it become about purchasing needless items and creating 25 million tons of holiday garbage? The wrapping paper, food waste, gift boxes, cards, and every other holiday detail, quickly turns from valued item to something destined for the trash can.

Let’s regain our holiday season, bring back the smiles and keep our environment in mind! Here’s some quick tips and ideas to bring meaning back to our holidays and create a feeling that lasts throughout the year.

Let’s start with the gift giving. First, lessen the amount of gifts you need to purchase. Talk with family, friends and coworkers and come to an agreement on rethinking gifts. Instead of giving a gift, make a commitment of time to spend with each other. Set the tone in the K ATY TR AIL WEEKLY'S

When you’re headed out to shop, bring your reusable bags — the grocery store isn’t the only place you can use a reusable bag. Avoid gifts that use batteries, and one-time use products. Save money and don’t buy wrapping paper.

Rally your inner child and use your creativity to wrap gifts — use newspaper and decorate with paint, stamps or have your kids draw on the wrapping — it will mean more to the person receiving the gift.

When the family comes over, use real dishes, not disposables. Get your teenage children/cousins/grandchildren/nieces/nephews/etc. to roll their sleeves up and earn their keep with some dish washing.

MULL IT OVER

Can college football get it right?

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com How can a sport that is run by the most educated people — which should be controlled by the most ethical men and women and is supposedly dedicated to the advancement of youth — ­ be such a mess? The state of college football in America continues to deteriorate and raises so many eyebrows about decision making or lack thereof. It all seems to revolve around one thing: Greed.

First, look at the College Football Playoff (CFP) system that replaced the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). The BCS was designed to be a showcase of college football. But there were so many levels of rankings, computer-generated statistics and human polls that often the best teams were relegated to lesser bowl games because of politics.

The CFP was supposed to take the most deserving teams chosen by a committee. But this year, the selection process reared its ugly head. The committee has determined that there are five power conferences. But there are only four slots in the CFP. University mathematic professors must be shrugging their shoulders and waving their pipes in the air.

The Big 12 conference has 10 teams. The Big Ten conference has 14 teams. Albert Einstein is rolling over in his grave.

To make more money, many conferences added a championship game for their league. Penn State won the Big Ten championship game this year, aided by an early season victory over Ohio State. But Ohio State, a television ratings draw, joined undefeated Alabama, one loss Pac-12 champion Washington and ACC champion Clemson in the CFP. Penn State and Big 12 champion Oklahoma were left out.

Michigan linebacker Jabrill Peppers.

One of the criteria the CFP is supposed to use is head-to-head competition. Yet Ohio State leapfrogged Penn State. Obviously, one of the criteria is not head-tohead competition.

There is a lot of talk of “passing the eye test,” which almost got popular draws Big Ten Michigan or Pac-12 USC into one of the final four slots. Leave the eye test at the fashion show.

In addition to the three CFP games, there are a staggering 39 other postseason bowl games.

Between Dec. 17 and Jan. 9, there will be 42 bowl games including the St. Petersburg Bowl pitting 5-7 Mississippi against 6-6 Miami of Ohio, University of Central Florida at 6-6 facing 7-5 Arkansas State in the Cure Bowl in Orlando and 6-6 Boston College playing 6-6 Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit.

It is all about greed, even though many universities are saddled with ticket commitments for bowl games and often don’t break even.

On Sunday, ESPN dedicated a four-hour selection show to the bowl game selections. There are 128 NCAA Division I teams in college football. There are 82 teams playing in bowl games this post-season.

Greed runs into the coaching

business as well, as evidenced by the example of Texas head football coach Charlie Strong, who was left hanging weekto-week wondering whether he had a job, to his firing and in-season courting of Houston Head Coach Tom Hermann and the eventual hiring of Hermann.

It is ultimately the players that suffer.

Coaches can abandon their teams in-season strictly for the money. A college football player can’t play for money, let alone often be allowed to transfer to another school when the coach that recruited him flew the coop.

This needs to be addressed immediately by the NCAA. They say it is all about the student athlete. It is all about greed.

Recently, college football has been wrought with scandal because of cover-ups at major universities — i.e. Penn State and Baylor — where sexual impropriety was swept under the rug in hope that the reputation and revenue generated by the football programs and alumni could be saved. That may be the best example that cash is king.

Time for college football and the NCAA to wise up. The power brokers should be too smart to drop pride and principles just to follow the money.

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

Biscuits rise above at Grayson Social

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Grayson Social should be branded as a biscuit boutique. If you love biscuits, make a breakfast or brunch trip to the new bar/restaurant on the ground floor of LTV Tower apartments when the biscuit bar is open. If you go at another time, insist on trying some biscuits.

Our exploratory dinner visit revealed a cozy, crowded bar. Not a surprise given the variety of craft cocktails.

“God knows,” said the first, with a yawn.

“What has he done with his money?” asked a red-faced gentleman.

“I haven’t heard,” said the man with the large chin. “Company, perhaps. He hasn’t left it to me. That’s all I know. By, by!”

Scrooge was at first inclined to be surprised that the Spirit should attach importance to conversation apparently so trivial; but feeling assured that it must have some hidden purpose, he set himself to consider what it was likely to be. It could scarcely be supposed to have any bearing on the death of Jacob, his old partner, for that was Past, and this Ghost’s province was the Future.

He looked about in that very place for his own image; but another man stood in his accustomed corner, and though the clock pointed to his usual time of day for being there, he saw no likeness of himself among the multitudes that poured in through the Porch.

It gave him little surprise, however; for he had been revolving in his mind a change of life, and he thought and hoped he saw his newborn resolutions carried out in this.

They left this busy scene, and went into an obscure part of the town, to a low shop where iron, old rags, bottles, bones, and greasy offal were bought. A gray-haired rascal, of great age, sat smoking his pipe.

Scrooge and the Phantom came into the presence of this man, just as a woman with a heavy bundle slunk into the shop. But she had scarcely entered, when another woman, similarly laden, came in too; As condensed by the author in 1867 for his public readings. and she was closely followed by a man in faded black.

“What odds then! What odds, Mrs. Dilbel?” said the woman.

It was shrouded in a deep black garment, which concealed its “Every person has a right to take care of themselves. He always did! head, its face, its form, and left nothing of it visible save one outWho’s the worse for the loss of a few things like these? Not a dead stretched hand.

Mrs. Dilber, whose manner was remarkable for general propitia“I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come? tion, said, “No, indeed, ma’am.”

Ghost of the Future! I fear you more than any spectre I have seen. But “If he wanted to keep ‘em after he was dead, a wicked old screw, as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be why wasn’t he natural in his lifetime? If he had been, he’d have had another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, somebody to look after him when he was struck with Death, instead and do it with a thankful heart.

It gave him no reply. The hand was pointed straight before them.

“It’s the truest word that ever was spoke, it’s a judgment on him.”

“Lead on! Lead on! The night is waning fast, and it is precious “I wish it was a little heavier judgment, and it should have been, time to me, I know.

“No,” said a great fat man with a monstrous chin, “I don’t know “Ah! Bed-curtains! Don’t drop that oil upon the blankets, now.” much about it either way. I only know he’s dead.”

“His blankets?”

“When did he die?” inquired another.

They’d have wasted it by dressing him up in it, if it hadn’t been for me.”

Scrooge listened to this dialogue in horror.

“Spirit! I see, I see. The case of this unhappy man might be my own. My life tends that way, now. Merciful Heaven, what is this!”

The scene had changed, and now he almost touched a bare, uncurtained bed. A pale light, rising in the outer air, fell straight upon this bed; and on it, unwatched, unwept, uncared for, was the body of this plundered unknown man.

CAROL cont'd from page 6 looking up at Peter, who had a book before him. The mother and her daughters were engaged in needle-work. But surely they were very quiet!

“And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them.”

Where had Scrooge heard those words? He had not dreamed them. The boy must have read them out as he and the Spirit crossed the threshold.

Why did he not go on?

The mother laid her work upon the table, and put her hand up to her face.

“The color hurts my eyes,” she said.

The color? Ah, poor Tiny Tim! “They’re better now again.

It makes them weak by candle-light; and I wouldn’t show weak eyes to your father when he comes home, for the “Past it rather,” Peter answered, shutting up his book. “But I think he has walked a little slower than he used, these few last evenings, mother.”

“I have known him walk with — I have known him walk with Tiny Tim upon his shoulder, very fast indeed.”

“And so have I,” cried Peter.

“Often.”

“And so have I,” exclaimed another. So had all.

“But he was very light to carry, and his father loved him so, that it was no trouble, — no trouble. And there is your father at the door!”

She hurried out to meet him; and little Bob in his comforter — he had need of it, poor fellow — came in. His tea was ready for him on the hob, and they all tried who should help him to it most. Then the two young Cratchits got upon his knees and laid, each child, a little cheek against his face, as if they said, “Don’t mind it, father.

Don’t be grieved!”

Bob was very cheerful with them, and spoke pleasantly to all the family. He looked at the work upon the table, and praised the industry and speed of Mrs. Cratchit and the girls.

They would be done long before Sunday, he said.

“Sunday! You went to-day, then, Robert?”

“Yes, my dear,” returned Bob. “I wish you could have gone. It would have done you good to see how green a place it is. But you’ll see it often. I promised him that I would walk there on a Sunday. My little, little child! My little child!”

He couldn’t help it. If he could have helped it, he and his child would have been farther apart, perhaps, than they were.

“Spectre,” said Scrooge, “something informs me that our parting moment is at hand.

I know it, but I know not how.

Tell me what man that was, with the covered face, whom we saw lying dead?”

The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come conveyed him to a dismal, wretched, ruinous churchyard.

The Spirit stood among the graves, and pointed down to One. “Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point, answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of the things that May be only?”

Still the Ghost pointed downward to the grave by which it stood.

“Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead.

But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!”

The Spirit was immovable as ever.

Scrooge crept towards it, trembling as he went; and, following the finger, read upon

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

by Stella Wilder

The coming week will involve a lot of work to square away bits of business that have yet to be completely resolved. Much of what goes on will take place behind closed doors, in hushed tones and in conversation that is not to be made public in any way. There may be some who think that this week's events and developments are therefore somehow illicit or ill-advised, but this is far from the truth. The fact is that what happens will require a kind of careful negotiation and last-minute deal-making for which not everyone has the stomach or the aptitude — and those who do will surely find their place as they cross the last t's and dot the last i's.

There is a certain formula that will work wonders in these matters, but not everyone will be able to latch onto it and reap it for all the benefits it provides. Those who are able to follow this specific prescribed path will find that doing things in this way can pay off for quite a while. This week, for them, is only the beginning!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may have the chance to spend more time with a loved one, doing what you most want to do, but don't lose sight of a professional goal.

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You mustn't be too quick to pass judgment on another. Remember that you actually have a great deal in common.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Money matters are likely to take up much of your time during the first part of the week. An adviser offers an unconventional option. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may discover that what you thought you most wanted is actually no longer on the list at all — it has been replaced by a surprise desire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may have to be stricter with yourself than you are with others. Lead by example, and you'll get the desired results.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You are in the midst of a rather adventurous period, but take care that you don't endanger anyone who prefers not to follow in your footsteps.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You are tempted to head off in a new direction, but circumstances may tie you down and require you to keep close to home. (March 6-March 20) – Hard work gives you a sharper view of what you really want now and in the time to come.

Those around you may demand answers.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may uncover the answer to a question that many have been asking of late, but where you find it defies comprehension.

Accept it! (April 5-April 19)

– You have the sense that something is not going according to plan as the week opens. Later on, you'll be able to do much to keep things on track.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may have to process a great many personal requests before you can tend to private business. By all means, pace yourself. (May 6-May 20) – Pay close attention to what your body is telling you. Day by day, your sensations and symptoms may change in subtle ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may have to engage in a more pedestrian endeavor than you had planned on, but it can inspire you to achieve more later on. (June 7-June 20) – Take care that you don't let a minor disagreement evolve into something you cannot control. Your temper is your worst enemy!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may not be as clear-headed as usual, and you'll require the intervention of a friend to see you through. (July 8-July 22) – You will benefit from an important discovery, whether yours or someone else's. It's time to acknowledge the importance of teamwork.

OFF THE MARK

the stone of the neglected grave his own name, — EBENEZER SCROOGE. “Am I that man who lay upon the bed? No, Spirit! O no, no! Spirit! hear me! I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse. Why show me this, if I am past all hope? Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me by an altered life.”

For the first time the kind hand faltered.

“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. O, tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone!”

Holding up his hands in one last prayer to have his fate reversed, he saw an alteration in the Phantom’s hood and dress. It shrunk, collapsed, and dwindled down into a bedpost.

Yes, and the bedpost was his own. The bed was his own, the room was his own. Best and happiest of all, the Time before him was his own, to make amends in!

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Stand and deliver — or simply retire and let others get the work done. You know which choice you must make, so make it and get on with your life!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Your penchant for apologizing is likely to mask both insecurity and anger. There are a few questions you must answer! (Sept.

8-Sept. 22) – You'll want to deal with what comes in the most direct and no-nonsense manner you can. Now is not the time to add unnecessary flourishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You are actually very close to your destination, though you may not feel as though you have come very far at all. Be patient. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You can combine your intentions with the intentions of another and come up with a plan that impresses on a wide scale, indeed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Your pace will fluctuate throughout the week, and you're not likely to be as much in control as you had hoped.

You've got to give in just a bit.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You're not likely to agree with the decisions handed down by the powers that be, but there is little you can do about it right now.

MOVIE TRAILER

Nothing fun, joyful about ‘Office Christmas Party’

There’s Kate McKinnon stars in “Office Christmas Party.” they are doing in this little doubt that the disaster. six people credited the plot of “Office Christmas Party” “Office Christmas with writing this tire razor thin. The Chicago-based office fire had little more than an outline Party” is a train wreck.

Josh (Jason Bateman) and Tracey It’s an understatement to call come more and more idiotic as the @chiccywood

movie progresses. It actually manages to turn a few normally funny actors, such as Rob Corddry or Jillian Bell, into annoying weirdos whose only purpose is to shout ridiculously vulgar statements.

Jason Bateman and Olivia Munn are left to pick up the shreds of story and be the only actors required to move the “plot” forward while their romance angle is undercooked and pointless. Bateman performs his straight man role admirably, but even his patented sarcastic wit can’t save this disaster.

Poor Kate McKinnon is trapped in a character that would normally be reserved for the last sketch of the night on “Saturday Night Live.”

At first, her overly cautious human resources manager is oddly funny, but it quickly devolves into just odd.

It’s the kind of character you’ve seen so many times that when her peccadilloes are revealed, it only elicits

yawns.

The ringleader of “Office Christmas Party” is T.J. Miller and this could have been his breakout role into the national pop culture scene. If this does turn out to be a box office hit, there could be some good to come out of it as it may drive people to seek out his better material.

“Office Christmas Party” tries extremely hard to be an R-rated comedy that hits the absurd comic notes of something like “The Hangover.” It instead piles on one ridiculous situation after another, only fraying nerves and providing cringe-worthy moments for comedic actors that are, quite frankly, above this kind of nonsense.

If watching Jason Bateman simulate a sex act on an ice sculpture is how you get your kicks, by all means, enjoy. Otherwise, Bah Humbug.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES

Networks delivering new presence this year

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net They’re making their lists, and it has nothing to do with what you may or may not be getting for Christmas.

Ed Bark Instead, it’s that most wonderful time of the year when TV networks gear up for the new year with a sizable batch of new series meant to rivet your attention or at least get you to take them for a test drive. Here’s a select list of what’s coming through January of next year, plus one big early February enticement.

“Star” (Dec. 14, Fox) — This is the heavily trumpeted follow-up to “Empire” from executive producer Lee Daniels. So, of course, it’s musically inclined, with name brand stars such as Queen Latifah (right), Lenny Kravitz and Benjamin Bratt joining three unknowns cast as up-andcoming vocalists hoping to hit it big as a trio or scratch each other’s eyes out trying. For the

record, the three budding divas’ names are Star (Jude Demorest), Simone (Brittany O’Grady) and Alexandra (Ryan Destiny), described as Star’s “Instagram bestie.” Yeah, we live in a different world these days. “Star” temporarily supplants “Empire,” which has its “fall finale” on the same night.

“The Wall” (Dec. 19, NBC) – This is the “heart-stopping,” big money game show executive produced by LeBron James and hosted by Chris Hardwick. Contestants supposedly can win up to $12 million in a single night. Yeah, like that’s gonna happen.

“The Mick” (Jan.1, Fox) – Kaitlin Olson from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, stars as a super-brash Rhode Island hustler who reunites with her estranged sister and her billionaire husband. When they flee the country to escape fraud charges, MacKenzie finds herself tending their three ill-mannered kids. One is described as an “arrogant, entitled, neo-con-in-the-the-making with an extremely punchable face.” Well, then.

“The Ransom” (Jan. 1, CBS) – This one is based on the real-life exploits of a

world-renowned crisis negotiator named Laurent as Sister Mary, who finds her new bossman to be Combalbert. But CBS is moving it to Saturday quite contrary. night Siberia after its Sunday pre“Hunted” (Jan. 22, CBS) – miere, and that may prove to be This is a game show, with nine an impossible crisis to overcome. teams of two contestants each Britisher Luke Roberts stars.

role. Coit is an ideal Minnie.

The actress has been a memorable part of the Dallas theater scene for decades.

“I have always been interested in what makes us happy as individuals inside a familial construct,” Coleman said. “‘Day Light’ explores each characters’ journey toward happiness and the unexpected places happiness might come from.”

Coleman stepped in to his Theatre Three (T3) and Theatre Two (T2) role of acting artistic director after Jac Alder passed away in 2015. It’s a role he has performed with talent and a quiet dignity. He’s built a reputation among audiences, who have enjoyed a cache of memorable shows under Coleman’s T2 and T3 direction including, “The Wedding Singer” and “Memphis” upstairs at T3. Some of the shows he has directed downstairs for T2 are this year’s “The Empress and the Pearl,” and an earlier, “Superior Donuts.”

Coleman has been with T3 for 19 of the last 36 years, first as a directing intern; then a journeyman; a resident artist from 1986 to 1987; and again, some years between 1990 and 2015, when he took on his current role of acting artistic director.

Thirteen Coleman plays have been produced in and around Dallas. A few are, at Uptown Players, “Mythical Beasty” and “Boomer Tyro is Coming Home,” for which

he was this year’s grand prize winner in the Pride Write competition. He has been associated with Uptown Players since 2005, first as an actor, then as a director and designer.

As far back as 1993, his plays “A History Lesson” and in 1994, “Given Away” were produced by The New Theatre Company. His scripts have also been staged at Upstart Productions and Kitchen Dog Theatre. At T3, his plays have included, “Look what happened to Pixie De Costa” (2009) and “Tales from Mount Olympus” (2010).

The writer said that his heightened interest the era resulted from directing the T3 play, “A Civil War Christmas.”

He commented, “Also, I have always been interested in exploring family dynamics. I put the two together and tried to develop an interesting story that people could relate to in a setting they may not be too familiar with.”

Regarding “Day Light,” onstage at Theatre Three, Coleman concluded with, “It has been a dream come true.”

Performances are through Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016. Show times are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2:30 p.m. The only Saturday matinee is at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 10. Theatre Three is located at 2800 Routh St. For more information, visit theatre3dallas.com.

Pearl Harbor remembered this week

On this 75th anniversary of the Japanese sneak attack on the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, I want to share my memories and feelings. I was eight years old in San Antonio, enjoying Sunday lunch at home with Mom, Dad, my 13-year-old sister, and my 21 year old brother, Ralph, who was a new cadet in the Army Air Corps. For some reason, the radio was on.

Regular programing was interrupted with the famous announcement of the Japanese bombing of our base by plane, f lying in from carriers.

My brother immediately jumped up, following orders to report to base, left for Randolph Air Base, and we didn’t see him again for months. At age eight, I didn’t understand the impact of the historical event. I just knew that something big had happened and we were in danger. I saw fear, shock, and later, revenge, in my parents and brother’s eyes. I ran to my room and arranged my toy soldiers, tanks, and airplanes, lining them up on the f loor, ready for war.

Several weeks later my dad, then 41 years old, enlisted in the Army Air Corps, so the family was now all military.

We soon moved to Houston where we spent the war years, with dad stationed at Ellington Air Base, then overseas with the Flying Tigers in the China,

On April 18, 1942, 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers, with 80 volunteer crewmen aboard, took off from the deck of the carrier, USS Hornet, and bombed the Japanese homeland. The mission was led by then Lt. Col. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle. Flying right seat as his co-pilot was Lt. Richard E. Cole.

It’s entertainment central in the backyard. Again “backyard” is not a word that accurately describes almost an acre of land with a covered loggia, limestone-surrounded fireplace, infinity pool, butterfly garden, and a tented creekside gazebo with a lounging area and, you guessed it, another fireplace. Definitely not just a “backyard.” It’s exquisite and everything Bailey did to the house has only served to make it more majestic … and desirable.
