Gallery brings gendercide crisis to light By Sujata Dand As you walk through the Fashion Industry Gallery in the Dallas Arts District, you are lost in the thousands of tiny, handcrafted baby booties created by women from all throughout the world. It is a beautiful, moving exhibit, but there’s something unsettling about it. What does it mean? “This is a very sober, dark and depressing subject,” said Beverly Hill, director of the Gendercide Awareness Project. “We have to lure people in to

come see the exhibit so we offer something that’s beautiful and poignant and representative of the lives that have been lost. Part of our strategy is that as you walk through, you slow down and take it in.” Each pair of booties represents 10,000 missing women. There are 11,000 pairs. That means there are more than 100 million women missing because of gendercide. The numbers come from the United Nations Population Fund and have been confirmed by other scholars. “Gendercide is the loss
of female life worldwide due to sex-selective abortion, female infanticide, gross neglect of young girls, preventable maternal death and the inability of older women to access food and shelter,” Hill explained. She founded the Dallas-based nonprofit in 2014. Most of the baby booties were commissioned from women’s sewing cooperatives from overseas. Hill says they impacted the lives of 500 women in 30 countries. “We asked them to

To recognize the outstanding contributions to our community by local African American artists, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, NBC 5 and the Multicultural Arts Alliance present “Art Past and Present: From a Black Artist’s Perspective,” a special art exhibit. The exhibit features the works of acclaimed local artists, including Nathan Jones, James Kemp and four exceptional art students from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts: Taylor Marsh, Andrew Perez, Julie Torres and Aleah Washington. The works demonstrate how artists from different generations and worldviews express themselves through their art. February is Black History Month, celebrating achievements made by African Americans and recognizing the central role they have played in U.S. history. The event runs through Feb. 23 and admission is free. — Bobbi Gruner

INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE
Burn survivor builds career in unlikely place By Sujata Dand The dining table is casually set for two. A kale salad softened with homemade vinaigrette topped with shaved cheddar and apple is the centerpiece. My plate has two small bowls, each brimming with a steamy soup. “The first is a creamy lemon chicken soup,” Chef Becky Foulk said. “And, the other is grilled vegetable barley.” As a journalist, when I call to set up an interview, rarely does anyone invite me over for a home-cooked meal. So when an acclaimed chef offered to prepare hot soup on a blustery February day, I couldn’t say no. Throughout a delicious meal, we talked about Foulk’s early years and how they shaped her culinary career. Foulk, an East Dallas resident, Chef Becky Foulk. was the Corporate Chef for Corner Bakery Café. Yes, she’s the cooking wizard behind those yummy soups and sandwiches. In her 13-year tenure, she revamped the soup program and crafted signature food and beverage recipes for the restaurant chain. Before that, Foulk was a regional chef for Whole Foods Market. What’s not on Foulk’s resume is that she’s a burn survivor. “The scars never kept me from being who I wanted to be,” she
says.
When she was two years old, Foulk’s family home in West Chester, Pa. caught on fire. Her mother lost consciousness from smoke inhalation. After rescuing her two older sisters, her father went back in to get Foulk. As he carried her out, the roof collapsed killing him. “I like to think that’s what any parent would do for their child,” she said. Foulk survived, suffering severe burns on her hands, back and legs. She spent 10 months in the hospital. “Being severely scarred and trying to get your hands to work was really, really hard,” Foulk explains. “Being able to bend your hands was just impossible.” Her mother was a nurse and Photo by Sujata Dand worked full-time running a pharmacy. Foulk’s babysitter Henrietta, affectionately called Hen-Hen, found a way for her to build her hand strength in an unlikely place — the kitchen. “My sisters were at school and Hen Hen would make these incredible pies. So when Hen Hen played in the kitchen, I played in

Crisis cont'd from page 1 bring traditional motifs to their work so they are very different from each other,” Hill described. “We paid them fairly, and the women used their income to buy better food, medical care and schooling for their children. This is a perfect example of the “girl effect.” When women earn income, they return more than 90 percent to their families. For men, the percentage is roughly 50 percent.” The art installation is the nonprofit’s most ambitious project. The organization’s first major event was in 2015 when 1998 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics Amartya Sen spoke at the University of Dallas to an audience of more than 700 people. “One of our main battles was gaining credibility,” Hill said. “Sen legitimized our cause. He was the first to flag that a 100 million women were missing from the census numbers. He validated that this is really happening worldwide.” Hill explained that when people learn about female gendercide they are overcome with shock and often feel defeated. That’s why she asked local professional artists in the community to create work that could help guests process the art installation. In her words, “we need to steer guests to a safer, emotional shore.” Johannes Boekhoudt considers himself a journalist artist. He created a powerful oil painting that captures a young girl in a filmstrip for the exhibit. “‘The Escape of Lana’ shows a little girl running,” Boekhoudt explained. “The film is presenting the image over and over again. She can’t escape. If it’s not domestic violence, it's sex trafficking or something else. My hope is that we stop this repetitive film.” Boekhoudt is one of 24 artists who created art for the show. Hill hopes that the exhibit will continue to bring much needed attention to this problem. “These women are not dying of natural causes. They are dying from man-made causes and practices that are discriminatory but socially sanctioned that are deeply embedded in cultures. We can change that. It’s very hard. It won’t happen in my lifetime, but it can happen.” “100+Million Missing” will be at the Fashion Industry Gallery in the Dallas Arts District from Feb. 10 through Feb. 15. Tickets are $5. A portion of the proceeds will help to fund the education of poor girls world-wide.
Pets help your heart all year long By Beth Leermakers Cats and dogs are more than just loyal companions. They provide a variety of heart-health benefits: Stress relief. Spending just a few minutes with a cat or dog — or even watching fish swim — helps people feel calmer and less stressed. When you’re stressed out, the neurotransmitters cortisol and norepinephrine can negatively affect your immune system. Furthermore, studies have found a connection between these stress hormones and plaque buildup in arteries that leads to heart disease. Petting a cat or dog lowers cortisol and increases serotonin and dopamine (neurotransmitters that have pleasurable and calming properties). Furthermore, playing with a dog or cat or just watching their goofy antics can make you laugh, reducing stress. Check out a silly pet video for a good belly laugh. Heart health. Pet owners are less likely to die from any cardiac disease, including heart failure. In one 20year study, people who never owned a cat were 40 percent more likely to die from a heart attack than the cat people. Another study found that dog owners had a better survival rate one year after a heart attack than non-dog owners. Cat owners have fewer strokes.
The reason for this isn’t clear, but owning a cat may improve circulation. Cats are believed to be more calming than other animals. The lower rates of heart disease and stroke in pet owners may be due to several factors: Lower blood pressure. Petting a dog or cat can reduce blood pressure. In one study, stock brokers with high blood pressure who adopted a cat or dog had lower blood pressure in stressful situations than did people without pets. In another study of 240 married couples, pet owners had lower blood pressure and heart rate at rest than non-owners. Lower cholesterol. Pet owners tend to have lower cholesterol and triglycerides — risk factors for heart disease — than non-pet-owners. The reason for this relationship isn’t clear but may be related to higher physical activity levels in pet parents. Increased physical activity. Walking a dog or caring for a cat can provide exercise and companionship. According to one study of 5900 people (2170 of whom were dog owners), dog owners were 34 percent more likely than non-dog-owners to meet the recommended amount of moderate or vigorous physical activity (150 minutes per week and 90 minutes per week, respectively). Almost 50 percent of the dog owners who

walked their dogs regularly (at least 10 minutes per day) got at least 30 minutes of activity, five days per week, compared to only 1/3 of the people without dogs. Furthermore, the dog walkers did more physical activity overall, apart from walking their dog. The dog walkers also engaged in activities like dancing, yard work and recreational sports, logging about 30 minutes more activity per week than non-dog-owners. Dogs may be better walking partners than people. In one 12-week study of 54 older residents in an assisted-living facility, some people walked with a friend or spouse, while others walked shelter dogs. The dog walkers had greater improvements in their fitness, increasing their walking speed by 28 percent, compared with just four percent in the folks with human walking buddies. The human walkers may have complained about the heat or talked each other out of walking, while the dog walkers didn’t make those excuses. There are many chilly and/or drizzly mornings when I wouldn’t be out walking if it weren’t for my dogs’ need for exercise and mental stimulation. Use the free Walk for a Dog app every time you walk

People at dog parks and walking in neighborhoods actually talk to each other. Dogs are terrific icebreakers. I’ve made new friends — people I spent time with away from the park — at the dog park. Not a dog person? The Cat Connection (in Farmers Branch) is hosting pop-up cat cafés, where people can enjoy their caffeine while spending time with several purr-babies, who are available for adoption if you fall in love. They haven’t yet posted their 2017 schedule, but check their website (thecatconnection.com) for future dates. If you don’t have a pet but want to take advantage of their heart-healthy perks, offer to walk a neighbor’s dog or volunteer at your local animal shelter. You can pet and socialize the cats, walk or brush the dogs or even foster kittens or puppies until they’re old enough to be adopted.

MULL IT OVER
Greatness on display Super Bowl Sunday By David Mullen Even though the National Football League strives for parity among teams, it is reassuring to have a few certainties mixed in with some surprises. It helped pro football when the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders returned to their winning ways. Fans expect the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and Green Bay Packers to play competitively every year. Most recently, the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans are expected to produce. And it is exciting to see a high-powered offense like the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons emerge. But despite a season of twists and turns, a few things became very evident on Super Bowl Sunday. New England Patriots Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of all time. And the Patriots are the greatest Super Bowl champions of all time. So many fans — including me — were on the Atlanta bandwagon for a number of reasons. Some were turned off by Deflategate, Belichick’s antics and lack of personality, once humble owner Robert Kraft now turned pompous executive or Tom Brady’s fame. Some wanted a change at the top, and the Falcons were an exciting alternative led by rising star Matt Ryan. And some had bet on the Falcons. With 2:06 left in the third quarter of Super Bowl LI, it appeared that we were watching the end of an era. Willie Mays falling to the ground in the 1973 World

Tom Brady. Series when he lost a fly ball in the sun. Michael Jordan missing jumpers for the Washington Wizards. Brett Favre tossing incomplete passes in a Minnesota Vikings uniform. The Patriots were down 28-3. The end of an era. Lost in the joy of seeing the Patriots down in what seemed like an insurmountable deficit in the second half of Super Bowl LI, a funny thing happened. In a matter of minutes, America and the world realized that this team was not done. This team had too much heart, soul, brains and coaching. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Joe Buck, play-by-play man on the FOX Sports coverage, said: “It would be an
unprecedented comeback if the Patriots could come back.” Certainly, he was just trying to keep the viewers engaged so that people would still hang around to watch the commercials. What happened was unprecedented, indeed. The 25-point comeback was the largest in Super Bowl history. The Patriots 34-28 overtime win forever cemented Brady and Belichick’s careers as the greatest ever. The Super Bowl can bring out some of the worst flaws of a team, like Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn’s inability to manage the lead and the clock or Ryan making critical mistakes like taking a sack or throwing on third and one when the Falcons were in field goal

range. But it also can bring out the best. Hall of Fame quarterbacks Bart Starr, Joe Namath, Terry Bradshaw, Ken Stabler, Joe Montana, John Elway, Favre and Steve Young had their greatest games on pro football’s biggest stage. But no one had a game like Brady. He won his fourth Super Bowl MVP. He was 43-62 passing for 466 yards which were among the eight Super Bowl records he set. In classic Belichick fashion, he called for two two-point conversations and made them. He turned previously unheralded running back James White into a star with 14 receptions, three touchdowns and 20 total points. Belichick set records for Super Bowl appearances (7) and victories (5). In typical Belichick fashion, he summed up the greatest Super Bowl in history like this: “As of today — and as great as today feels and as great as today is — in all honesty, we’re five weeks behind on the 2017 season compared to the rest of the teams in the league.” He is one of a kind. So is Tom Brady. And the legacy of the New England Patriots lives for one more season.

Bryan Adams High School swim team is state bound. The Bryan Adams men’s swim team finished second and the women’s team finished third at the Region 4-5A meet on Saturday, Feb. 4 at Lewisville Westside Aquatic Center. Five swimmers will be moving on to the state meet. The women’s swim team was led by freshman Anja Cronjaeger who placed first in both the 200 and 100 freestyle events. Anja was also a member of the 200 and 400 freestyle relays that both placed third; the other members of the relays were Bailey Wyer, Naomi Arcega-Martinez, Mackenzie Patterson (200 relay only) and Ashley Hernandez (400 relay only). The men’s medley relay will be swimming at state after a second place finish. Members of that relay were Yosi Fetahi, Merritt Curtis, Mike Hernandez, and Abel Fetahi. This same group swam to a 3rd place finish in the 200 freestyle relay. Yosi also qualified for state in the 200 individual medley, Mike in the 100 butterfly, and Abel in the 100 freestyle. The coach of the Cougars, Nick Enriquez, was voted the Men’s Coach of the Meet. The state meet will be in Austin on Feb. 17-18 at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swim Center. — Christina Martinez

On Saturday, Feb. 18 at 8 p.m., guitarist Al Di Meola — one of the founding fathers of jazz-fusion — comes to the Majestic Theater at 1925 Elm St. This 2017 tour will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his classic 1977 album “Elegant Gypsy” in addition to promoting his latest album “Elysium.” Known for his lightning-quick guitar riffs, improvisational genius as well as for melodic compositions such as “Mediterranean Sundance,” Di Meola has recorded more than 20 albums as a bandleader while collaborating on many others. One of the first to meld traditional jazz with rock and world music styles — especially Latin and flamenco — Di Meola counts among his major influences Astor Piazolla, The Beatles and Chick Corea. He is also especially well known for his acoustic collaboration with Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. The 62-year-old musician describes the current tour as a “joyful experience,” which he chalks up to sharing the road with his wife Stephanie and one-year-old daughter Ava. “[Stephanie] likes to travel,” Di Meola said, in a recent interview with White Rock Lake Weekly, “so we are enjoying it now while we can. Once the baby is in school it will be impossible.” Taking full advantage, Di Meola remarked that the “live aspect of music is thriving.” Due in no small part to the ubiquity and seemingly endless availability of music via streaming services on the Internet, fans genuinely seem to value live concerts more. “For the past 15 years, audience appreciation has gone up, especially in Europe.” Despite positive changes for live performance, Di Meola (performing with his New World Sinfonia band) claimed touring and recording is becoming harder and harder. “People are distracted [by technology];

they're not focused on the music anymore,” Di Meola said. “Before, we all used to be in the sound-booth listening between takes. Now everyone is glued to their phones." It is also no secret that the Internet, while increasing artistic exposure, has created less incentive for fans to purchase music. "It has decimated record sales.” Given the particular difficulties he and many other artists face today, Di Meola doesn’t condone making a career out of music. Aspiring musicians should “find a psychiatrist — or study plastic surgery,” he joked. According to him, one must be prepared to “starve to death” for music. Complications due to hearing loss and tinnitus have also made it difficult for the musician to work. For many years, he focused on playing the acoustic guitar because the volume and distinction of sound was less noisy and more tolerable for his ears. Now, with the 40th anniversary of “Elegant Gypsy,” he is returning to more of his electric repertoire — making due, in spite of his hearing impairments. For U.S. fans, many of whom revere Di Meola for his electric guitar style, the tour will be a special treat, with the show comprising roughly 80 percent electric guitar and 20 percent acoustic.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ a bloody blast to watch By Chic DiCiccio The average movie theater can hold 200 to 300 people. If everyone tracked the body count in “John Wick: Chapter 2,” it would take about an hour before they all ran out of fingers and toes. This goes for broke, ramped up to 11, ultra-violent sequel to 2014’s cult favorite “John Wick” is a two-hour blur of bullets, blood and Keanu Reeves as smolderingly cool as he’s ever been. The first installment of this future trilogy introduced us to John Wick (Reeves), a retired hit man who took out an entire New York Russian crime family because one of them stole his car and killed his puppy. “Chapter 2” begins with the always fantastic Peter Stormare as another Russian mobster summarizing that as John systematically destroys his chop shop. This opening sequence is just a taste of what’s to follow and the stunt driving is dizzying. From there, the movie begins to set up a mythology that involves a worldwide syndicate of hit men. One of them, Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), helped John leave the hit man life to be with his now deceased wife (Bridget Moynahan, seen only in flashbacks) and John owes him a “blood oath.” Needless to say, things do not go well when John rejects his request. After checking in with Winston (a brilliant Ian McShane), John realizes he has no choice and must do D’Antonio’s bidding. The job takes him to Rome, where he must assassinate D’Antonio’s sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini), who is set to take a seat on what is essentially

Keanu Reeves play a hit man that audiences feel sympathy towards. Earth’s hit man board of directors. Since nothing is easy for John, he eventually finds himself with a $7 million bounty on his head and every assassin on the planet hunting him down. His return to New York finds John under constant attack from every angle and features some very unique ways in which he dispatches his attackers. Among those attackers is Cassian (Common), who is Gianna’s chief bodyguard. A sequence that takes place on a subway platform is equal parts intense and subtly hilarious as these two men try to murder each other in inconspicuous ways. The hand-to-hand combat that occurs in a cramped subway car is visceral and the stunt work from Reeves and Common is impeccable. There’s no doubt that director Chad Stahelski wanted to ramp up not only the action, but also the world building. The script from
Derek Kolstad has turned John Wick into a global man of action and this seedy underbelly of worldwide assassins he and Stahelski have created has given a character previously hellbent only on revenge a fully fleshed out sandbox to play in. The coolest aspect of “Chapter 2” is that you are never lost in the action. Whether it takes place in a New York museum or in the catacombs beneath Rome, there’s never a loss of geography. The close-ups of the action clearly show Reeves is doing the majority of the stunt work, only making the work of this now 52-yearold actor that much more impressive. Look, Keanu Reeves is probably never going to win an Oscar. He’ll never be regarded as an actor that easily pivots from action megastar to thoughtprovoking drama. However, there simply are not many actors that can pull off the suave coolness required to
play a hitman that audiences feel sympathy towards. As John Wick, he’s a man of few words, but Reeves’ steelyeyed growl gives those words conviction and his portrayal of a once evil man with newfound purpose gives him the role he was born to play. A few other actors such as John Leguizamo and Laurence Fishburne pop up to offer some comic relief. Also, Ruby Rose is fantastic as a mute killer that follows John around the world to make sure he fulfills his “blood oath.” “John Wick: Chapter 2” is an unashamed action banger that is a complete blast to watch. Even the preposterous moments are excusable simply because it’s all created to perfection. This is perhaps one of the most violent movies ever made, but because Reeves portrays John so perfectly, it’s total fun. And don’t worry. All puppy dogs make it out unscathed in the end.

Texan stomps his way to Dallas for DSM’s ‘STOMP’ By Shari Goldstein Stern Who could have predicted that a bunch of dudes and dudettes could strap metal garbage cans on their feet and stomp their way from the streets to more than 50 countries, in which they have entertained more than 24 million people? Dallas Summer Musicals’ (DSM) audiences will have an opportunity to see and hear for themselves what all the racket’s about when “STOMP” opens Feb. 14 and runs through Feb. 19 at the Music Hall at Fair Park. That said, what’s the likelihood of those garbage cans stomping their way up to a dais to accept their Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London’s Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays? It sounds unlikely, but it

From creators Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, the ensemble is coming back to Dallas with another rambunctious production of “STOMP.” Don’t think for a moment that garbage cans are all there is making a racket in “STOMP.” If your kitchen sink’s gone missing, you might watch for it onstage.

Always make sure to build a back door for each bird house, which allows you to peek in and clean out the nest when your birds are done nesting. Many species can have more than one brood per year. For example, bluebirds can have up to three broods per season and may use the same nest or build another. If you are mounting your bird house to a smooth tree or pole, always consider adding a snake screen. The snake screen is a simple piece of metal or wire fencing to discourage snakes from preying on young nesting chicks or eggs. Natural nest cavities and bird habitats have been disappearing for years due to human encroachment. Providing an alternative source for birds to nest in can help species survive the impact of humans.

Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week will require the majority of individuals to commune more deeply and in greater detail with certain friends, loved ones or business partners to maximize the odds of success and keep things moving forward at a pace that can produce measurable gains. In cases where the established relationship is strained, the work can become rather tempestuous — cool heads may not always prevail! In other situations, those who have had little to say in the past may come up with just the right idea at the right time, providing everyone involved with an outlet for creativity, productivity and satisfaction. All must be warned, however: Too much attention paid to the purse strings will skew efforts and make real success a difficult thing to achieve. At times, someone else does indeed know more and can illuminate the difficult issues to make them more accessible and solvable. Those who are able to acknowledge this, at the right times and in the right places, will have the advantage. One doesn't have to be in charge in order to win! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Beware the emotional undertow that threatens to pull you back to another time when things were not as favorable as they are now! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – If it's redemption you're after, you may surely have it — but only if you're willing and able to look at yourself through an unclouded lens.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Your position will afford you a more inclusive, panoramic view of what lies ahead. This can be helpful to others, as well. (March 6-March 20) – It's time once more to think outside the box. Your native creativity is something that others will want to take advantage of in unusual ways. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Don't be bashful; feel free to envelop another in the warm embrace of your better angels. Things go deeper than you expect. (April 5-April 19) – Now is not the time to follow in another's footsteps, even if you've been told you should. The pathway you forge for yourself is best. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may become quickly disenchanted with things as you have arranged them, but you are allowed to make any changes you desire. (May 6-May 20) – The tangled web you've woven over the past few days or weeks can only be undone by someone who knows you better than you know yourself, and you have an idea who this is! GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Avoid any cursory appreciation of that which you proclaim to enjoy. Feel free to savor what comes your way, in any way you like. (June 7-June 20) – A friend or loved one may be unusually
combative as the week opens, but your honest, gentle approach proves beneficial to all who encounter him or her. CANCER (June 21-July 7) Someone is attempting to see through you in some way, and you'll be aware of his or her constant, penetrating gaze — be it literal or figurative. (July 8-July 22) – You'll have the opportunity to eliminate virtually all negative expressions from your lexicon, so positive is the overall outlook. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Are you sure the time is right for you to resume what you interrupted for the sake of another? He or she may not be fully integrated. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Examine closely the gap between where you are and where you wish to be. Make no assumptions about what you should or should not do! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You are curious about the origin of certain deep-seated feelings or fears, but are you ready to take an honest look at catalytic events? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Another's apparent faults are not likely to seem so severe when chewed, swallowed and digested. You must be fair when all is said and done. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Your intellectual dexterity will

Consider backyard wedding getaway By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com After having the pleasure to host a booth at the Dallas Bridal Show a couple of weeks ago, I felt inspired to put a spin on the remodeling process and discuss backyard weddings. The great thing about backyard weddings is that you get a mild remodel in the process. Or maybe not so mild, depending on the bride’s preferences. Regardless, it’s a great time to get the most out of such an extravagant event, by keeping some of those decorations even after the wedding date. First, if you have a large enough backyard, I highly recommend this as your wedding venue. It can save you money and allows you to manipulate the event much more to your Stephan Sardone taste. You’ll want to nail down your guest list first, just to be sure you have enough space. Consider all the aspects of a wedding. Will you host the reception in the same space? Will it be a buffet style, where people walk around? Or will you have tables or a dance floor? Will you also have a bar of some kind? If so, plan where each designated space will be and then move forward with a design. The Patio. Oh, the glorious patio. I could go on and on about patio remodels, but let’s narrow this patio remodel down to the best patio ideas for a backyard wedding. First, go by two rules: make it

Backyard weddings are personal and economical. modern or make it rustic. Okay, third rule: you can make it both. For a patio look that goes great with a wedding, make sure you create coverage to shelter yourself on regular days and then wedding guests on the big day. Functionality is just as important as style here. For those of you who want to go rustic, try a rugged pergola made of dark, raw wood - one that covers the whole patio area. For the wedding and all times, weave some sheer fabric in and out of the pergola slits so that they drape through whimsically. This creates a spa-like atmosphere for the homeowners and a romantic feel for the

Hammer cont'd from page 8 wedding. Pergolas serve as great canvases for lights, flowers and other decor, so use it to your advantage. If there are walls on certain sides of the pergola, you may use it for hanging photos of the happy couple. It’s also a great space for a photo booth for guests to stand in front of and take photos to remember the occasion. If the happy couple is hoping for a bar, well, put in a bar! How could you go wrong with that? If someone is hiring a bartender, it’d be best to have a designated place for them to serve, preferably somewhere near the patio, which should be apart from the ceremony area. This will serve you all year long as a place to make the hot chocolate on those cold winter evenings or where you can blend up some ice cold margs on hot summer days. For those cold winter weddings, put that fire pit to good use. Not only does it add ambience and warmth, but it’s a great gathering spot for guests as they mix and mingle.

and create something vibrant and bold, try to hold back. Listen to the wedding planner to see what color scheme the wedding will have, and go from there on planting flowers and greenery. Try to match as much as possible to the bride and bridesmaids’ bouquets. The entry to the backyard should also make a statement with flowers of some kind wrapped around a kind of archway. This is a wonderful greeting to guests, making it known that this is going to be a dreamy occasion, a very meaningful one. The secret garden entrance feel is one you can hardly go wrong with. Lighting. Always one of my favorite topics, especially regarding this particular subject. For a backyard wedding, there is hardly a limit to what you can do for lighting. From dangling lights to lanterns, chandeliers to mason jar candles, the evening will glow from the treetops or from softly lit, delicate tables. Some may disagree with me on this, but I believe that whatever lighting you put up for the backyard wedding should remain all year round. Why should you have to give up that ambience? How would you feel, knowing you’ll be coming home to that backyard each day? That’s just a romantic date waiting to happen at any time. You don’t

have to use it every day, but at least it’s there. While we’re on the subject, let’s talk generators. Just as a backup. The electrical components may require a professional to assess, but one thing’s for sure: you will probably need additional power sources on hand. I recommend just renting a generator for the wedding. Speaking of “back up,” let’s talk ... the bathroom. If you’re going to have 50 plus guests, I recommend renting a bathroom, because your two to three bathrooms may not be able to support everyone. Have no fear here! You can dress that porta-potty up; I’ve done it before. Wooden pallets are a great source for this project, as you just connect them around the unit and turn it into a rustic outdoor restroom. You might even get playful and tack on a chalkboard to the outside that says something humorous. I believe the backyard wedding is a treat for the couple and the homeowners. Plus, if you keep mostly everything fundamental to the decor the same, the couple can visit any time and, in turn, revisit their most precious day.

dotty's True Texas Cuisine
Recipe of the Week
Dressed, dining and drinking to The Nines
Shaksuka
By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com
Photo by Sara Newberry
1 medium onion, diced 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste) 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 cup chopped roasted red pepper 4 eggs Olive oil Salt Chopped parsley, for garnish Sliced crusty bread, for serving
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until fragrant. Stir in the spices. Add the tomatoes and paste and simmer just until it starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Make 4 wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until eggs are set, about 8 minutes. Drizzle with a little olive oil, garnish with cilantro, and serve with crusty bread. Recipe by Sara Newberry
Dining out isn’t only about restaurants and food trucks. Sometimes it’s possible to find good eats in unexpected places. The Nines, a nightclub in Deep Ellum, offers an ambitious snack and small plates menu to complement their craft cocktail offerings and entertainment. Whether the music is live or spun by deejays, the scene at The Nines is lively. Though The Nines is mostly about music, chef Margaret Alvis likes to think of it as a “gastro club. We are first and foremost a club and a bar,” Alvis said, who also realizes that clubbers want to eat as well as drink. Owner Allen Falkner said, “Pretty much every bar has a selection of food. We wanted to take ours up a notch beyond chips, slices and fries.” That inspires Chef Margaret. Drunken Pimiento Cheese, spiked with tequila, is spicy, cheesy and altogether habit-forming with or without pico de gallo. Blue corn chips make the dip as pretty to look at as to eat. That’s just one of her share snacks. The white bean hummus is creamy and smooth, served with pita and fresh veggies. Flatbreads steal the show, however. Pig & Fig is a real stage hog. With prosciutto and manchego cheese plus sweet onion and fig jam, this flatbread blends sweet and salty in the best way. So does Truffled Mushroom Flatbread with piquant caramelized onion, portobellos, herbed goat cheese and arugula, all drizzled with white truffle oil. The sandwich menu really shines when it comes to the Cubano Panini. With green chile pulled pork and prosciutto, Swiss cheese and garlic-dill mustard, this toasted sandwich may be shared but you probably won’t want to. The PB&JK (pork belly and jalapeno aioli, kimchi) brioche sliders are just as imaginative and tempting. There’s a third sandwich option, the Veggie Beet Panini, with a trenchant combination of roasted beet slices, shaved fennel, goat cheese spread and arugula. Delicious! The Nines is as serious about its food and beverages as about the entertainment.

Above, Charcuterie Board and below, Drunken Pimiento Cheese and Housemade Ricotta with Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta. During a menu tasting for food and fun writers, burlesque was on the bill. Known as “the founding mother of burlesque in Dallas,” Honey Cocoa Bordeauxx took the stage with fans and tassels twirling. She’s as spicy sweet as the flatbread. Classic burlesque is the featured entertainment on the second Thursday of every month. After the burlesque, we went up to the roof garden where a stunning and lithe aerialist slithered and stretched on a silk trapeze while the rest of us sipped deep, dark, hot chocolate.

the kitchen. It was perfect because when you think of playing with pie dough, you are rolling, moving your hands. It was playtime for me, it wasn’t therapy time,” Foulk recalls. “I still think of working in the kitchen as play-time — that creative time, that playing of food, of layering food and trying to think outside of the box — that’s where the passion is. I think I got that way back when with Hen Hen.” Despite losing three fingers and enduring 200 surgeries before the age of 13, Foulk persevered. The scars were especially thick when she was a child. “School was always interesting. Kids can be very nasty. People would stare at you. My mother would always say ‘It’s not you, it’s them,’” Foulk remembers. “She was always so strong. And, she really made sure that I was strong.” Early last year, Foulk’s mother passed away. Her death pushed Foulk to publish her first cookbook, “Cooking Soup to Nuts.” “I worked with a chef who always said when you are planning your meal you need to remember all of the details. You need to have everything from soup to nuts.” The details were always important to Foulk’s mother as well. It’s clear that Foulk credits much of her healing and success to the support of her mother and sisters. “My mom was just amazing. Her goal in life was that we had a great childhood and that we were all successful in what we all pursued to do,” Foulk says. ““My sister says that the thing that my mom was most proud of is that I can use my hands.” February is Burn Awareness Month. Becky Foulk plans to donate a portion of the profits from her book “Cooking Soup to Nuts” to Parkland Hospital’s camps for young burn survivors. You can follow Foulk on her blog cookingsouptonuts.com.

show love and care in Dallas
Jubilee Park and Community Center
The working poor in southeast Dallas are offered recreation, education, nutrition, transportation and health services at this facility.
By Sally Blanton
sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, White Rock Lake Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
Q What is your mission or highest purpose?
A J ubilee Park and Community Center is a
catalyst for community renewal and enrichment to the Jubilee Park Neighborhood, a 62-block area in southeast Dallas. The majority of families here are working poor, with limited access to quality education, nutrition, transportation and healthcare services. Our five issue areas include education, affordable housing, public safety, public health and economic development.
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A With the help of our Board of Directors,
dedicated staff and more than 800 volunteers, we serve more than 1,100 individuals annually.
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the
calendar? Jubilee is thrilled to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a gala on the evening of Nov. 4 at the Omni Hotel. We’ve never done a big fundraiser before, and we hope everyone will join us! For information on sponsorships, table pricing, and ticket purchases, please contact us at 214-887-1364 x 255 or donate@ jubileecenter.org.
A
QW hat is your facility like?
A Our seven-acre campus includes the Walt
Humann – T. Boone Pickens Community Center that hosts education programming, community events, senior events and staff offices; a resource center that acts as a police storefront; a Head Start and Early Head Start facility; a senior housing complex; community garden and a beautiful park with soccer fields, basketball courts and playgrounds.
QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?
A We are always looking for volunteers and groups to help with student tutoring and
mentoring, coaching our sports teams, meal prep, event set-up, English practice, financial advice and legal aid, counseling and more. We also have Jubilee Young Leaders, a group of young professionals that host year-round events and other networking and volunteer opportunities. Our volunteers play a vital part to our success!
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A When I first started working at Jubilee I
thought I would be the one teaching others how to improve and transform their lives, but what I soon realized is that this community has taught me more about myself than I ever could have imagined. I am blessed beyond measure that families in our community welcome me in to their lives and homes every day. I have learned to love and trust people like I never thought I would. I have been reminded that building bonds and collaboration are the keys to success, which is done through love and respect. We always say that Jubilee transforms lives, but I can truly say that Jubilee has touched and transformed my life for the better.
QW hat does the future hold for your nonprofit?
A We are entering our 20th anniversary year,
and are looking forward to the next two decades of community impact. We hope to add increased services for students with special learning needs through our gala in November, and to offer mental healthcare through an upcoming partnership. With our community’s help and our corps of committed volunteers, anything is possible at Jubilee.
Ben Leal, CEO, answered this week’s questions.
