Investing in women makes Texas stronger By Juliette Coulter Although women in Texas have made great strides over the last decades, there is still more that can be done to close the gaps and ensure they reach their full potential, particularly with low-income women. That’s what was reported when Dallas Women’s Foundation (DWF) unveiled findings from its Economic Issues for Women in Texas 2017 report, which highlights the four critical building blocks necessary for women to achieve economic security — education, child care, health insurance and housing. The report examines the economic status of Texas women through a lens of gender, race and ethnicity; looks at policies and practices at the state level; and identifies areas of opportunity where innovation and investment can help women and their
families move from surviving to thriving. In separate events in Dallas and Houston hosted at Texas Woman’s University (TWU) campuses, DWF President and CEO Roslyn Dawson Thompson and TWU Chancellor Carine Feyten led panel discussions of the jointly sponsored new research, and discussed steps that can be taken to address the economic challenges outlined in the report. Thompson said, “Of the 14 million females in Texas, 17 percent live in poverty, compared to 14 percent of men and boys. Our goal is that this study will lay out the challenges, solutions and what we’ve accomplished so far in education, child care, health insurance and housing, so that community leaders, officials, nonprofit organizations, businesses and donors will work together to improve economic

security for Texas women.” She added, “When women are financially secure, families and communities are strong and stable. When women are healthy and well-educated, their strength creates a positive ripple effect for their families and communities. Investing in
women makes for a stronger Texas economy.” Each building block focuses on the most significant key findings and recommendations, but the full report details each area in depth. To see the full report and findings for each building block, visit dallaswomensfdn. org/economicissues.

Letter from the Editor By Nancy Black
One man's trash
My mother loved garage sales. If we were driving down a street and she saw a yard sale sign, she would immediately turn the car Nancy Black around and stop at the house. She was so obsessed with garage sales that, if my siblings or I saw a sign for one before my mom did, we would try and distract her so she wouldn’t spy the sign, too. My mother would have loved all the new online “garage” sale sites. I bet she would have sat for days scrolling through all the different items: earrings, furniture, even cars. I must admit, I like scrolling through those sites also. It’s fun to look at all the things people are selling. And I am amazed at some of the stuff others are trying to get someone else to pay money for.
I saw one shirt the other day that was so old and tattered I would have cut it up to make cleaning rags. But the person who posted it wanted $5. Five dollars for an old raggedy shirt? Really? Oh, well. I guess it doesn’t hurt to try. The art of bargain hunting online has really exploded. But there are precautions you should take if you do buy something online: • Always meet the seller in a public place • Take a friend with you; there’s safety in numbers • Pay attention to your surroundings; look for warning signs. Most local police departments now have a designated “safe zone” where you can meet someone you’re buying items from. I think that is a great idea. Bargains are great but not if you get beat up trying to buy one. So, shop away. Just be safe and remember: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Dallas Academy’s American History students have been studying the American Civil War. High school history teacher Caroline Cooper tasked her students with examining the events leading up to war, the battles waged and the lasting impact the war had on our nation. Throughout their studies, students gained a better understanding of the costs and sacrifices made for freedom. At the end of the unit, students delved into the history and meaning behind one of the most enduring speeches made during the Civil War. Each student was asked to memorize and recite the Gettysburg Address, the speech made famous by President Abraham Lincoln during the dedication of the National Cemetery of Gettysburg on Nov. 19, 1863. Members of Dallas Academy’s junior class did a fantastic job of reciting their speeches but, more importantly, gained an understanding and appreciation of the words spoken by President Lincoln on that great battlefield.

FOSTER CARE TO SUCCESS
Foster care youth have an easier transition to successful adulthood through mentoring, grants and educational programs.
QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?
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 does it mean to be in foster care?
e U.S. foster care system was designed to A Th
temporarily protect and nurture children whose parents are unable or unwilling to care for them, until those parents become stronger, healthier and in a position to provide a safe, loving home for their children. Sadly, too many children spend years in “the system,” moving from foster home to group home to foster home, and from one school district to another. They may never feel stable or connected, lacking the family and community ties that are so critical to young adults learning to make their own way in the world.
QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?
A Our mission is to help youth transition from foster care to successful adulthood through post-secondary education.
Q H ow many children are served each year?
A Approximately 4,000 are funded and
we speak with at least twice that many to provide information and educational counseling.
Q H ow does your Educational Training Voucher (ETV) program work?
A Eligible students may receive grants of up to
$5,000 per year for up to five years or until their 23rd birthday. ETV funds can be combined with other grants or scholarships to minimize or eliminate the need for student loans.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches those in need?
A Ninety-nine percent of all donations go to our programs.
QW hat are your critical needs now?
A Usually we need volunteer coaches; how-
ever, since CBS Cares has been airing public service announcements, we have been overwhelmed with requests.
QW hat is required to become a mentor?
A Make a one-year commitment for up to four
students. Communicate a minimum of one time per week via phone, text, Skype, email or social media. Generally, dedicate from one to three hours per week to their student(s).
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
A Help foster youth attend and succeed at post secondary programs without incurring too much debt.
QW hat is difficult about your job?
A The youth with whom we work have very hard lives, and helping them is a complex process.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A When a student succeeds in any way — a small step forward or graduation.
Q S uppose your nonprofit received a $20,000
check in the mail today … where would it immediately be put to good use? It could be used for care packages, scholarships or general administration, which we always need because only .8 percent of donations go to administration.
A
QW hat does the future hold for your nonprofit?
A We are hoping to continue the work we
have been doing for more than 35 years, ever evolving as times and needs change. Reducing student loan debt and encouraging students to stack credentials are two current priorities. Tina Raheem, Director of Scholarships and Grants, answered this week’s questions.
A Money donations to sponsor scholarships are our biggest need.

Restaurant Review
Known for pizza, Mellow Mushroom hits town By Sara Newberry I’m surprised it has taken as long as it has for a Mellow Mushroom to pop up in Dallas. The Georgiabased chain has been inching closer and closer, opening in Southlake, Denton, Plano, Rockwall, Frisco… but now there is a location in Dallas proper. It’s located in the former home of Hacienda on Henderson (which will always be Cuquita’s in my heart), and has added yet another pizza option on this stretch of road, joining Fireside, Henderson Tap House, Louie’s, and Pietap. Mellow Mushroom began in Atlanta in 1974, expanding to a second location in 1978. They began franchsing (“friendchising”) in 1982. What each location Photos by Sara Newberry has in common is a decidedly “groovy” atmosphere, Famous pizzas at the Mellow Mushroom. with plenty of tie-dye, murals, and a ridiculous numI ordered the “Carnie” half-pound Pub ber of “psychedelic” references.

Make ricotta, save money By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Homemade ricotta is so easy you may wonder why you’ve ever bothered to buy it. The taste of fresh ricotta is a powerful incentive to DIY. The Nines chef Margaret Alvis uses fresh ricotta on a couple of dishes served at the Deep Ellum “gastro club.” Though primarily a night club, The Nines under Alvis kitchen guidance, offers an ambitious snacks and small plates menu. With ricotta, you can go sweet or savory. Alvis suggests serving it as a dessert with fresh figs and brown sugar or as a salad offering. Top the ricotta with fresh tomatoes, basil and olive oil. Also, you can get creative and dream up your own combinations. In addition to a large saucepan, you will need a candy/deep fry thermometer, large sieve and finemesh cheesecloth The Nines Fresh Ricotta 1 gallon whole milk 2 cups heavy cream plus additional ½ cup if needed 1 tablespoon salt 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice Zest of one lemon Line a large sieve with a layer of cheesecloth and

In a large saucepan Dotty Griffith over medium high heat, combine milk, 2 cups cream and salt until milk comes to a gentle boil and slightly scalds on the bottom of the pot. Pour lemon juice and zest into milk mixture, stirring constantly, allowing curds to form. Be careful to avoid scraping the bottom
of the pan so you won’t pick up any dark scalded milk residue. Remove pot from heat and continue stirring until large curds have formed and whey is milky-translucent. Pour curds and whey mixture through cheesecloth. Allow ricotta to drain at least 2 hours. Your cheese should be smooth and spreadable. For a crumblier cheese, refrigerate and strain overnight. If a smoother cheese is desired, whisk in additional 1/2 cup of cream and adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate up to 4 days. Makes 1 quart.

MOVIE TRAILER
Charlie Day and Ice Cube make ‘Fist Fight’ watchable By Chic DiCiccio The oddest thing about “Fist Fight,” a zany comedy that pits two high school teachers against each other, is that it actually has something to say about the sorry state of public schools in the United States. Of course, this mini-protest occurs after a teacher plants drugs on another teacher, a female guidance counselor openly fantasizes about sex with a student and a principal lets F-bombs fly in front of the student body. The main reason that “Fist Fight” isn’t immediately filed into the comedy garbage bin is the truly fantastic pairing of Charlie Day and Ice Cube. These polar opposites are perfect combatants, and “Fist Fight” gives each of them the opportunity to show how truly comedically skilled they are. The other actors … well … not so much. “Fist Fight” takes place on the last day of school, and the senior class is out in full force to make sure it’s a living hell for the faculty. Day is English teacher Andy Campbell, a bit of a pushover who is worried that his job will be cut while he has a pregnant wife and daughter at home. The students see Andy as an easy target, and

Jayme Harvey, Senior Minister www.casaviewchristian.com Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures
Ice Cube and Charlie Day star in “Fist Fight.” the pranks against him are relentless. There is one teacher that seniors never prank and he is the no nonsense, off the charts intense Strickland (Ice Cube). This is a man that scowls at students and teachers alike, blaming all of them for the failure of the public school educational system. When one student finally gets up the nerve to prank him, Strickland snaps and smashes the student’s desk with an ax. Andy, forced by Principal Tyler (Dean Norris) to either spill the beans or lose his job, rats out Strickland. An enraged Strickland then tells Andy that at 3 p.m. that day, they
are going to have a fist fight in the school parking lot. From there, “Fist Fight” becomes a series of events in which Andy tries to get out of the fight. He enlists the aid of Coach Crawford (Tracey Morgan, as funny as he’s ever been) and guidance counselor Holly (Jillian Bell, as irritating as she’s always been), who naturally give him terrible advice. There is clearly plenty of influence from first time director Richie Keen, who directed Day in several episodes of “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.” Seemingly, every character is a train wreck, and one of the flaws with “Fist Fight” is that each insane situation tries to outdo the previous one. Some of these sequences completely bomb, but most range from chuckles to uncontrollable laughter. The most inspired moments of “Fist Fight” involve a series of rumors regarding Strickland’s past. Students and faculty alike speculate about what he did before he was a teacher, and these conversations are shown
with hilarious results. This is the first movie that Charlie Day has been in without an ensemble cast that carried it. He is definitely up for it and he stays away (for the most part) from the “Charlie” character that he’s easily identified with from “Sunny.” Even when the material fails him, Day manages to make “Fist Fight” amusing. The real treat is Ice Cube. He’s been the straight man in comedies before (see “Friday”), but his pent up anger leads to some truly brilliant deliveries of one liners that would only work coming from someone like him. There’s no doubt that he’s having a blast in a role that goes a bit against type, yet gives him plenty of room for comedic rage. “Fist Fight” is a mix of snappy dialogue and stupid, failed slapstick. It peaks when Day and Ice Cube go toe-to-toe, whether verbally or during the surprising conclusion. In a movie as unhinged as this, it would have been a cop out if it didn’t actually end in a fist fight.

Lake is home to one of the blackland prairie remnants. One of the main projects of the blacklandprairies.org program is to initiate “sweeps” to cut and remove Queen Anne’s lace, a common invasive plant found throughout the prairie. Queen Anne’s lace, also known as wild carrot, is native to Europe and parts of Asia. Queen Anne’s lace, is a threat to native grasslands because it matures faster and grows larger than many native species, outcompeting the natives for resources. This threat is not an easy one to remove. The prairie sweeps require a large group of volunteers lined up arm to arm, walking across the prairie looking for the invasive plant before it has a chance to reproduce. The timing needs to be right. “Technically we shifted 4 degrees into a new planting zone. Last year we had lots of rain, and it (Queen Anne’s Lace) started to come up early” says Susan Gregory, PATH Blackland Prairie Program Education Director. This year is a new year and with warm temperatures and recent rain plant growth may start early again.

Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week will offer a disproportionate number of opportunities to a very few individuals, while the rest must be satisfied with only a promise of things to come. There is little that anyone can do at this time to ensure that he or she is a member of the former group and not the latter; much depends on seeds sown long ago. Of those who are in the waiting group, the knowledge that it will be a finite period of time may be of some comfort — though it won't make the waiting any easier, as the anticipated improvements will add such depth and richness to their personal affairs that it may seem impossible to progress without them. Still, those who consider themselves less fortunate than others will eventually have a chance at redemption and happiness — perhaps sooner than expected, and in ways never imagined. Matters of policy may come to the fore as those who are most involved in business affairs work to strike workable compromises where only last week there was an insurmountable deadlock. Indeed, only through changes in the status quo can real progress be made — and that will surely require a balanced give-and-take. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) An attempt at courtesy early in the week may be misinterpreted, resulting in an unexpected difficulty that you must overcome. (March 6-March 20) – What you do for another can help you in
a general sense, as your overall outlook will improve. Others are eager to make your acquaintance. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Give yourself a little more leeway than usual, and you may stumble upon something that can be a major long-term benefit. (April 5-April 19) – Work you do on your own can prove far more effective and lasting than what you do as part of a team — though teamwork is still essential. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Quality control is likely to be a major branch of your overall intent, as only you can make things right in the time allowed. (May 6-May 20) – The way you express yourself matters more than the content of your various messages. Still, you must always mean what you say! GEMINI (May 21-June 6) As you take in your surroundings, you'll want to judge the impact they may have on what you are trying to accomplish. (June 7-June 20) – A message to a loved one will go astray, and you will have to scramble to be sure that your intentions are known. Technical redundancy can surely help. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You'll want to be sure that you have more than enough of what you need immediately at your disposal. Don't squander resources!
(July 8-July 22) – You will want to keep the lines of communication open between yourself and a rival, as you soon may be working together! LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You can improve the situation at home by granting a family member a little more autonomy — though you'll want to keep your eyes open. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – What happens early in the week is likely to meet with your approval, but later on your expectations may be dashed in an unusual way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) A loved one will be able to get more out of you than you had anticipated, and he or she won't have to do anything unusual. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Your response to someone who has lashed out at you inexplicably can make things better or worse, depending on how you want it all to play out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) The obvious plays a key role in your week. What you see and hear is likely to mean precisely what you think it means — until it doesn't! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Give someone a little bit of what you so desperately want, and you'll forge a new kind of partnership that can benefit you both for quite some time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may think that you're nearing

Naturalists, and other groups are participating in the prairie restoration program. If you’d like to get your school, class, company or other group involved visit blacklandprairies.org! March 11 is the first day of this restoration effort, but sweeps will need to occur throughout the growing season. Keep your eyes out for future events to support the blackland prairie remnants, such as: April 29 - Music Festival in collaboration with the Friends of the Bath House Cultural Center on the lakeside lawn. May 6 - Native Plants and Prairies Days at White Rock Lake. A fun family friendly event with 30+ exhibitors, talks, a bison, crafts and more! The blacklandprairies.org will host a booth featuring their Polli-Nation Station app (Android only now, Apple/iOs soon). The app serves to collect data on plant species in the local area. The changing climate will bring challenges for gardeners and ecologists alike, but working together and collecting data over time will help guide decisions to conserve our last blackland prairie remnants.

It’s one of the most luxurious homes in Highland Park — or Texas — and we’ve got your ticket to tour at the Candace Evans next CandysDirt staff meeting. Whoa, wait, what is a CandysDirt.com Staff Meeting? It’s a great way to show off a listing, that’s what. We gather the staff and help you throw a party to end all parties at your listing, blow up the story and ooh and ahh over the place with all the company watching. It’s a great way to really get lookers inside your home! How do you learn about CandysDirt.com. Staff parties? By reading, and subscribing to the blog! Sitting on almost an acre at 3509 Euclid Ave., this Mediterranean villa is more than 18,000 square feet of sophisticated spaces, with six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, six half baths, four living rooms, three dining rooms and 11 fireplaces on three stories, built in 2012. On Thursday, Feb. 16 at 5:30 p.m., we’ll be there to take in the views and enjoy this private, luxe retreat near Armstrong and Abbott Avenues in one of the toniest parts of Highland Park. Just how exquisite is this villa? How about a wine grotto with tasting room, outdoor putting green, indoor golf simulator, sprawling 10-car garage, and a state-of-the-art gym with a steam and aromatherapy room? And the backyard is positively swoon-worthy, with a Tuscan cabana with a sitting room and private baths, sparkling swimming pool and spa, fountains and a fire pit in the pool. This masterpiece is the work of Fusch Architects, builder John Sebastian of Sebastian Construction Group and Harold Leidner Landscape Architects. It is newly listed by JP Piccinini and Monica Shovlin with JP & Associates Realtors for $18 million. How about a sneak peek before our CandysDirt staff meeting? I’d love to show you this property … There’s nothing timid or shy about this gorgeous Mediterranean villa — its presence is stately and elegant. The walls are a golden Venetian plaster that absolutely glows, and when you walk into the grand entryway, it’s almost like being in a palace. But the remarkable thing is that as you continue into the house, it gets cozy and warm, even with its 18,000 square feet, and you get the sense that this is a place to gather, a place to create memories. A grand staircase anchors the dramatic entryway with decorative wrought iron balusters, Travertine floors, two-story ceilings, grand double doors with leaded glass and space enough for a grand piano. To the left is the formal dining room, with a fireplace, space to seat 10 or 12 people and sweeping views of the front courtyard through an oversized window. Nearby, the formal living room features beamed ceiling, a fireplace and views of the loggia leading out to the spectacular backyard. The kitchen is as remarkable as you would expect, with double-high custom cabinetry, dual sinks, a butler’s pantry, granite countertops, an oversized island with seating, breakfast bar, coffee bar and commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, including dual dishwashers, double ovens, a built-in ice maker, Wolf gas range and Wolf commercial-grade refrigerator. The kitchen is open to the great room, creating a cozy, intimate vibe in this spacious area. There’s room for a dining table, large sectional sofa and beautiful fireplace.

Mastering the master bedroom By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com When you get home at the end of the day, exhausted and ready to rest and spend time with your spouse, the last thing you want to face is an unpleasant environment. Not only does it take a toll on your attitude throughout the day, but it leaves no room for something to look forward to at the end. You and your partner both deserve better, which brings me to the ultimate escape: the master bedroom. There are a lot of ways to make the master bedroom romantic, warm and honeymoon-worthy, but before you get to the fun stuff, be sure to declutter. Reducing stressors like a crowded night stand or an unorganized closet can do wonders for Stephan Sardone your home life. Whether it’s winter or summertime, a glowing fire can always add some ambience and a homey feel. If, for some reason, your fireplace doesn’t work, a great way to get that same feeling is by placing staggered and differently-sized candles inside the fireplace.

Make your bedroom into a personal getaway. Light each candle and you’ll see and feel the effect it has on the entire space. You may even prefer this to an actual lit fireplace (wood and gas can be expensive). The fireplace isn’t the only way to add mood lighting. I suggest going dramatic with

Hammer cont'd from page 8 a chandelier hung just over the bed or whimsical sconces on either side, just over the nightstands. Sometimes, you can even attach sconces to the headboard itself, depending on the headboard’s structure. I’ve seen a lot of interesting sconces, some of which have patterned slits all throughout, so when they’re lit, they cast an intricate light pattern upon the walls. Lights that look like candles can add an antique/Victorian look, while modern lamps on dimmers keep the room’s lighting clean-lined and under control per mood. In fact, all lighting in the bedroom and even the master bathroom should be on dimmer switches so that you can control the room’s romantic or relaxing vibes. Somewhere near the fireplace should be access to romantic seating. A thick shag rug with blankets and pillows or a luxurious love seat for cuddling will do. Don’t get too crazy with the love seat, though, because no matter what, the bed should undoubtedly be the focal point of the room. For the bed, start with an outstanding headboard, whether you go rustic with a

barn-style, wooden backing, or something soothing to the eyes and touch like a thick, upholstered headboard. I’ve even seen some “headboards” simply consist of sheer drapes in front of strung, dangling lights, which casts a romantic glow throughout the room and is very DIY-friendly and affordable. I imagine these headboard lights would always be left on while at home, almost taking on the function of an everyday lamp. Canopy the bed in drapery, not only for romance but for an added layer of privacy. There are tons of patterns and methods by which you can get that dramatic, drapery effect; just check Pinterest. Depending on the bed structure you have, you could crisscross the drapes on each end, drape sheers at each corner to hang straight down, or have a flat, light layer of fabric straight across the top and over the sides. The last choice reminds me of a romantic fort hideaway. Taking the drama a step further, I’ve seen some canopies made of fringe or tassels, which adds some edge. Speaking of drapery and privacy ... if you have large windows or a balcony door with a nice view, cover them in similar,

romantic drapes. For those warm, breezy nights, keep the windows and doors open so the curtains glide on the wind in and out of the room. Extra touches for the space would be fresh flowers in clear vases, accent walls painted in light, airy colors and a floor-to-ceiling mirror set in the corner of the room. The master bathroom is not excluded here. If you have a nice, large tub, do not hesitate to treat it like a canopy bed and add drapery and glowing lights all around. Nobody wants a harsh, fluorescent light on them while they’re taking a bubble bath or getting ready in the morning. If you’re not looking for a full remodel, some of these ideas can be applied on smaller scales. Candles, drapery, lighting — it can all be put together more quickly and affordably and will still have a great effect on the room. Relationships need nurturing no matter what holiday it is, and so does the home, so treat yourselves to a remodel that’ll keep on giving, from the start of your hectic day to its end. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.
