Parks become smoke free Dallas has many great parks and green spaces for you to hike, bike, run and play. The city’s parks are clean and green, and — as of March 1 — City of Dallas parks will be smoke-free. With springtime near, the Dallas Park and Recreation Photo courtesy of theozoneman.ca Department wants you to visit your neighborhood park and smell the flowers, not smoke. Some exceptions do exist, permitting smoking at the department’s golf courses and facilities managed by private partners such as the Dallas Zoo, The Dallas Arboretum and Fair Park during the State Fair of Texas. Thank you for making Dallas parks smoke-free and keeping Dallas beautiful. Go to Dallasparks.org for more information. — The City of Dallas

AWARDS
Dancers ‘en pointe’ in Texas’ arts spotlight By Shari Goldstein Stern A name synonymous with Dallas’ rich, diverse cultural arts community is the Dallas Black Dance Theatre (DBDT). After garnering dozens of prestigious awards over its 40year history recognizing both the organization and its founder, Ann Williams, DBDT was honored in Austin last week as one of 15 recipients of the 2017 Texas Medal of Arts Award. DBDT rubbed elbows with this year’s highprofile winners, including singer/songwriter/actor Kris Kristofferson; Lauren Anderson, the first African American prima ballerina with Houston Ballet; Tony award-winner Rene Elise Goldsberry; and CBS KTVT
news anchor Scott Pelley to name a few. The 2017 lifetime achievement award went to songwriter/singer/ actor Kenny Rogers. A cache of other recognizable Dallas and Texas honorees over the years have included Raymond Nasher, Ruth Altshuler, Dan Rather and many other respected names. The recently deceased Ft. Worth native Bill Paxton was a 2011 recipient. Dallas’ Marca Lee Bircher, arts educator and musician, was awarded the medal in 2003, and she said about DBDT’s recognition, “Arts education is committed to expanding the availability of the beauty of human artistic expression to as wide a spectrum of people as possible,
including both its creation and its enjoyment. Dallas Black Dance Theater has been exemplary in sharing the glorious enjoyment of professional dance with an ever-expanding audience, many of whom have never been exposed to it before.” Houston’s Phylicia Rashad and her sister, actress and choreographer Debbie Allen, are also past medal winners. As an additional honor, DBDT was invited to perform during the 2017 awards show and gala dinner, which was hosted by Allen. She currently appears in the Emmy-winning television series “Grey’s Anatomy.” “It is exciting to receive this honor because

Theater
‘The Tempest’ has fashion, theater, arts for all By Sharia Goldstein Stern Until audiences see this unique Dallas Theater Center (DTC) production, they will be curious whether William Shakespeare is rolling over in his grave or doing a happy dance to see a musical adaptation of his classic, “The Tempest.” When you have a collaboration between the Dallas Theater Center (DTC), AT&T Performing Arts Center (PAC) and Ignite/Arts Dallas at SMU Meadows School of the Arts with The Public Works Dallas (PWD), whatever the reaction to the play’s departure from the original, it’s bound to be a hearty one. The event is in affiliation with New York City-based Public Theater’s Public Works and is the inaugural event for the series in Dallas. In a move to make theater “for the people and by the people,” this 90-minute production is open and free to the public on March 3-5, 2017 at 8 p.m. While free tickets are “selling” out quickly, DTC anticipates that many will not pick up their advance tickets, and encourages you to join the standby ticket line at 2400 Flora St. up to an hour-and-a-half before each performance. First come first served will get tickets 15 minutes before the start of each

Letter from the Editor
Why not? Ben did By Nancy Black When my original partner, Andy Simpson, suggested we create our own newspaper I said, “We can't do that!” He Nancy Black answered, “Why not? Ben Franklin did.” I couldn't argue with that. Benjamin Franklin started his own newspaper in 1728. Then, he invented so many other items — including bifocals, which I desperately need now — that there is no way to thank him today. Hundreds of years later, in the 21st Century, and two more fabulous partners on board (our amazing publisher, Rex Cumming, and our fabulous coowner, editor and writer/sports expert of Katy Trail Weekly sports David Mullen), we have two of the best newspapers in
our communities. Franklin prided himself on being a self-made man — and so we are proud of to be independently made newspapers. From humble beginnings, working out of my home office, to eventually gaining an independent office, full staff and newspaper “family,” this publication has been wild journey wrought of hard work and community contributions. Not all are so lucky — publications come and go; some make the cut and others don't. Franklin's own sister, Jane Mecom, despite a similar upbringing and philosopy in hard work, died nearly destitute. Maybe ol' Benjamin was just lucky — and so are we — but we never would have gotten as far as we have without some good, old fashioned try-hard. So, here's to you Ben Franklin. You have inspired us all, and will continue to for generations to come.

How to save on online brokerage fees Best-selling author said he was By Nathaniel Sillin If you've made it to a point in life where you're ready to start investing, or at least start thinking about investing, you may consider opening a brokerage account. But you're not alone if the thought of choosing a brokerage firm is foreign to you. While brokers have helped individual investors buy and sell investments for decades, the relationship and services have changed over time. For instance, rather than calling their brokers, today many investors use a sleek online platform or mobile app to place orders. Fees associated with maintaining a brokerage account and investing have also changed. Whether you've been investing for years, or are just diving in, it's wise to occasionally compare brokerage firms' offerings and costs, including those listed below, and find the option that's right for you. Trading-platform fees might not be necessary. A trading platform is downloadable software or an online app that you can use to make trades, view real-time quotes and news, perform analysis and set up your trading strategies. While platform fees can cost hundreds of dollars a month, many highquality options are completely free. Others are free as long as you meet minimum account balance requirements. Trading fees are common, but prices vary. Brokerage trading fees can vary widely depending on

the financial product and broker. Many online brokers charge a flat fee, typically somewhere between $5 to $10 per online trade for stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Some brokers alternatively charge a fee per share, which could be a better option for day traders. Making a trade on the phone or with the help of a broker rather than on your own online could incur an additional fee (sometimes between $20 to $50). Mutual fund transaction fees may be higher than the cost of trading stocks, although some brokers have a list of no-transactionfee funds. More advanced trading tactics, such as options, also may have additional fees. Higher trading fees don't necessarily indicate better service, but the fees could help the brokerage firm invest in its trading platform, customer service and research tools. Therefore, you'll want to compare each firm as a whole, not just the trading fees. Avoid annual fees. Some brokers charge an annual fee, often around $50 to $75. You might be able to avoid the fee by maintaining a minimum balance in your account, or there are a number of brokerages that don't charge this fee regardless of your account balance. Don't overthink account closure or transfer fees. It's common for a brokerage to charge $50 to $75 to close your account or transfer your holdings to a different brokerage. However, many brokerages will reimburse you when you
open a new account with them. Optional services are just that — optional. There are a few services, such as paper statements or premium research tools, that often cost money but are easy to opt in or out of based on your preferences. How much could you save by choosing a low-fee brokerage? Unless you're an advanced investor, there are likely a variety of brokerages that can fulfill your needs. Review the fees you're paying at your current brokerage, or at a brokerage you're considering, and the competition's offering. Paying $5 versus $10 per trade might not be significant for every investor. However, that's the difference between receiving $95 or $90 worth of stock when you invest $100. Everything being equal, spending the extra $5 means you take an immediate 5-percent loss, plus you miss out on potential gains. Bottom line: Choosing a brokerage with low fees helps ensure that your money goes towards your investments rather than overhead expenses. Low-fee brokerages aren't necessarily worse either. Some still offer high-end services, advanced trading platforms and mobile apps that can satisfy the needs of most beginner or intermediate investors.
'trolled' by HPHS students
By Courtney Collins/KERA News A best-selling author says he was disrupted by students at an assembly at Highland Park High School (HPHS). Jamie Ford was the keynote speaker at the school district's LitFest last week. Ford describes his experience at HPHS as a school visit gone sideways. On his personal website, the New York Times bestselling author wrote about what happened as he spoke to hundreds of freshmen and sophomores. Ford says things started off fine — but everything devolved as he answered questions. He says students clapped and cheered at random times. Ford said teachers and the principal didn’t do anything to stop them. Ford, who is Chinese-American, says students continued clapping and cheering, even after he discussed the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Highland Park superintendent Tom Trigg has apologized to Ford. He and

Mull cont'd from page 1 about what makes us who we are; both individually and as a couple.” The Twittys sold 70 percent of their belongings and moved the other 30 percent into storage and their parents’ attics. They lived in an extended stay hotel for two months with their two dogs. They said they couldn’t have been happier. The trip highlights have been “opening our hearts and minds to other cultures and allowing ourselves to dive in and enjoy where we are at the moment.” One of their best memories was renting a car for 10 days in Iceland and driving around the “ring road” which circles the entire country. “Being able to see the untouched beauty of the country on a hands-on level was incredible” Along with the occasional late train or city bus ride, the challenges have been few. “We have had to face balancing our time and not being homesick. Being on the road, we are constantly in new places with new sights to see and it is easy to fall into the habit of constantly ‘gogo-going.’ We have found that it is important to balance the continual urge to see it all with the need for down time. Much like being at home, we sometimes need breaks during the day, relaxing evening, a good night sleep and ‘weekends’ to unwind from a week of doing.” They miss their rescue dogs Juno and Okra. Brad created a spreadsheet to track travel, food, accommodations and activity expenditures. They figured most people budget $50-$100 per day, per person, when traveling for an extended period of time with “$50 per day more of the true backpacker, fresh-out-ofcollege budget and the $100 per day is the ‘I don’t want to say no to anything’ budget.” They are slightly over the budget because they started in expensive areas
like Scandinavia and Western Europe. When they made it to Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, they were able to make up some of their budget money. “We wanted the flexibility to not have to say no to things we really wanted to do while critically think about if something would be worth it. Our vacations — when we were gainfully employed — often consisted of some things we spent too much money on and were not worth it in the end.” They have been staying in Airbnbs, some hotels, hostels and houses. “We had to sleep in our car two nights in Iceland when we couldn’t find anywhere to stay last minute. This was not comfortable in a sub-compact car. [But] we have met so many great people along the way eager to share with us their customs, culture and hospitality.” Buses and trains are an easy means of transportation in Europe. Plane travel is a must in Africa and the Middle East. They rented a camper van in New Zealand. They splurged on a car in Nürburg, Germany so “we could watch really nice cars go around the world-famous Nürburgring,” the Twittys said. “Food is a big deal for us. It is important to try the local cuisine everywhere we go. Some of our best meals have been when we stumbled upon a local ‘holein-the wall’ family-run place and chow down. With that being said, we do not eat out every meal because that would kill the budget and the waist line.” Since they like to stay in Airbnbs with kitchen accommodations, the Twittys do a lot of grocery shopping. “So far we have been received with open arms in most countries. We have found that the most hospitable countries we have visited are Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist countries. They have been so kind and loving towards us. For example, during Christmas we
were in the Maldives — which is a Muslim country — and on Christmas Eve, our host planned a huge Christmas party of the guests staying in the guest houses. He decorated, cooked dinner and even had other locals come over to play traditional Maldivian music and teach us how to dance their cultural dance. It was the biggest gesture anyone would have done for us, especially since their law prohibits the practice of any non-Muslim religion. “It is interesting to us that a lot of people find it hard to believe we are from the U.S. While on the road we do not always openly tell people that we are married. In some countries we have visited, it is illegal to be homosexual, let alone married. We have to remember that it is our responsibility to respect the laws and cultures of the countries we are visiting. Most people assume we are friends and we are okay with that. Occasionally someone will see we have the same last name but we find that they don’t ask, so we don’t tell.” They are keeping an extensive journal, now more than 240 pages long. “Our goal is to be open to go where the journey takes us and see as much as we can along the way. A few years back we made a personal goal to see every continent, including Antarctica. It would be great if we could make that happen on this trip, but it is not our driving force.” After nearly eight months, the Twitty’s are currently heading to Cambodia, India, Japan and South Korea. “It has been the biggest downsize of belongings in our life, but, without regret, we realized we traded our things in for memories and experiences.” And they just keep on traveling and imagining. The Twittys can be followed on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter @twoenroute and at twoenroute.com.

High school student gathers ‘Silver Swans’ By Lauren Witt On Tuesday, March 7, Katarina Jakimier, a high school honors student living in Preston Hollow, will host a kickoff event for her Girl Scouts project “The Silver Swans,” at Presbyterian Village North (PVN), a nearby senior living community. As part of this project, she has developed and will facilitate the start of a seated ballet class specifically designed for seniors of all mobility levels. Jakimier has worked closely with the wellness team at PVN to implement the class. This kickoff event will go from 2 to 3 p.m. on March 7, and will consist of a ballet demonstration and reception. The Silver Swans ballet classes will be held weekly on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. The first official class will also be on March 7. The independent living class will go from 10:45 to 11:15 a.m. and the assisted living class will go from 2 to 2:30 p.m. Jakimier studies fulltime at the Texas Ballet Theater School of Dallas, and spent some time studying at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow when she was 14 years old. In Fall 2017, she will study ballet year-round in Europe. Thus far, Jakimier was awarded the Silver Award in 2014, the second highest honor a Girl Scout can receive. For her Silver Award project, she started the Pointe Shoe Recycling Program in Dallas. It has taken off and is now practiced globally. In addition to these awards, she has received honors for her piano playing and has toured the country with her choir group. She speaks German, Russian and Latin

Girl Scout Katarina Jakimier wants to share her love of ballet with senior citizens. languages. Jakimier is working toward achieving the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor in the organization. She has a passion for fine arts and wanted to share her love for ballet with seniors in hopes of enriching their recreational activity experiences. The goal of her project is to implement regularly scheduled therapeutic ballet classes for seniors as an effective, pleasurable adjunct to traditional therapies practiced to support wellness and assist seniors in aging gracefully. She has spent an estimated 100 hours on the project so far. She says the hardest part was designing the ballet curriculum for seniors of all abilities. She met with
geriatric specialists, ballet instructors and senior living wellness instructors to formulate a curriculum that is fun, flexible and doable for the residents. She worked closely with the PVN wellness team to show them how to lead the classes and made a DVD with tutorials in case they need a refresh or need to teach a new fitness leader. She also made a personalized CD with a compilation of classical music to accompany the exercises. She hopes the classes will give residents fulfillment in trying something new, and that it will bring generations of families together as grandparents and grandkids show each other their ballet moves and talk about what they are learning in their classes.

pepper mayo, it’s the best brisket sandwich I’ve had. You can get regular fries (with garlic salt) or sloppy fries (topped with chili, cheese and pico de gallo). I say go for the sloppy version, always. The 57,000 slaw is mayo-based, with a little Heinz 57 sauce mixed in. It’s on several of the sandwiches, but it’s also worthy of ordering on its own. I was worried that when Off-Site Kitchen moved from its original location on Irving Boulevard to its new larger digs at Trinity Groves would adversely affect my experience, but the only difference between the old location and the new is how much easier it is to find a seat.

Part of this week’s Texas Independence Day celebration at Love and War in Texas – Lindale was a Taste of Texas Food Contest. We can’t give you the name of the winner of Thursday’s contest or the recipe in this issue because we went to press on Wednesday as we do every week. If you made the road trip 90 miles east to the Texas-themed restaurant and honky tonk, you may already know who won. Still you deserve a taste of Texas in this week’s paper. Drawing on Texans’ favorite nut in a shell (not the ones in suits, they’re all in Austin and Washington right now), here’s a recipe for pecan pie. It’s not the traditional version (pictured) from L&W owner Tye Phelps, but rather a meringue chock full of pecans and chocolate. The recipe comes from my friend Dedie Leahy and was previously published in The Texas Holiday Cookbook.

Off-Site Kitchen is one of several restaurants created by chef Nick Badovinus, who is also behind Neighborhood Services, Montlake Cut, and now Town Hearth. What characterizes Badovinus’ restaurants is a painstaking attention to detail, as well as a sense of fun. From the fishtanklike window into the kitchen at Montlake Cut to the “Angrier Lobster” entree at Neighborhood Services, these restaurants embody the balance between taking the food seriously and taking themselves seriously. Off-Site Kitchen is no different. While the casual atmosphere and service may give the impression of a standard burger shack, don’t be fooled: there’s some real thought behind what’s in those plastic burger baskets. Burgers are not cooked to a temperature — these are thin patties, smashed on a griddle, so a tasty crust forms on the patty as it cooks. On the face of it, The Stock Cheese is a standard cheeseburger, but it’s made from freshly ground Angus chuck and served on a bun from Village Baking Co. The MurphStyle burger amps it up even more, with the addition of jalapeño-bacon relish and secret sauce. The slightly sweet relish and the tangy sauce play off each other to give the burger a singular flavor. But while the burgers are definitely worth checking out, the non-burger sandwiches are really where it’s at. When we ordered the Brough Ham Fleetwood, the counter person sighed and exclaimed that it was the best thing on the menu. While I’ll have to go back and try the rest of the menu to confirm that, I will admit it was pretty impressive. It’s messy — all the best sandwiches are — and the Cubansandwich-adjacent mix of ham, pork shoulder and Swiss cheese are complemented by Off-Site Kitchen’s signature 57,000 slaw and jalapeño-bacon relish. It’s a whole lot of f lavors, but they harmonize instead of competing with one another. Before I move on to try the rest of the menu, I will go back to the 48-hr Cracked Pepper Brisket Sandwich. Loaded with meltingly tender brisket and topped with caramelized onions, Swiss and cherry

remove beaters and turn upside down. If peaks remain upright, Dotty Griffith egg whites are “beaten stiff.” Using a large rubber spatula, gradually and gently fold crumb mixture into egg whites. Do not stir or beat. This will deflate the egg whites. Carefully fold in chocolate. Turn mixture into prepared pie plate. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden on top. Makes 8 servings.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Logan’ and Jackman are made for each other By Chic DiCiccio There are actors that embrace a role and then there is Hugh Jackman and Wolverine. While some shirk a role that may bring about typecasting, Jackman has gone to another level in his love and admiration for the character that took him from a relative unknown to worldwide megastar. “Logan” is his ninth time playing this character on screen, and not only is it the best movie in Fox’s “X-Men” franchise, it’s perhaps the finest movie ever made of its kind. “Logan” takes place in 2029 with an aged, broken Logan (Jackman) working as a limousine driver while dealing with functional alcoholism. His healing powers have slowed and he struggles when defending his limo from a handful of gang members, but not so much that he doesn’t slice off a few limbs from these would-be thieves. The entire movie plays out like a noir/Western, which makes the El Paso desert setting even more impactful. Logan works in the states, then shuffles over the border to Mexico where he’s holed up in an abandoned factory while caring for a elderly Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who is in much worse shape than Logan. Charles’ mental powers are weakened, making him unable to search for

Hugh Jackman stars in "Logan." newly-born mutants in a world where nary a mutant has been born in 25 years. His mental instability leads to seizures, which causes him to involuntary almost kill anyone near him. Logan is content to waste away in Mexico with Charles and another mutant, the albino Caliban (Stephen Merchant), who helps care for Charles. Their world is turned upside down when 11-year-old Laura (Dafne Keen) shows up at their doorstep. Laura’s caretaker, Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez), has tracked Logan down in hopes that he will take them to the North Dakota-Canadian border where an alleged mutant safe haven is located. Laura is the creation of the evil Dr. Zander Rice (Richard E. Grant), a geneticist who experiments on mutant children who are essentially DNA-copies
Tempest cont'd from page 1 performance. With music and new lyrics by Todd Almond and conceived by Lear deBessonet, DTC’s Kevin Moriarty will direct at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre. According to Sarah Papert, one of the 200 local non-actor cast members from the Dallas community, 100 were recruited through community service organizations. Papert is executive director of the Vickery Meadow Learning Center, one of the partnering organizations. “Another 100 are members of cameo groups such as a children’s choir, a gospel choir, a hip-hop singer, Aztec dancers and a mariachi dancer,” Papert said. Cameo performances include Rickie Rush’s Living Sound Choir from Inspiring Body of Christ Church, Dark Circles Contemporary Dance, Sam Lao, Townview High School Big D Drumline, Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, Northlake Children’s Chorus, Inner City All-Stars Brass Band and Mitotiliztli Yaoyollohtli Aztec Dancers. The full roster of partnering organizations is: Bachman Lake Together, City of Dallas Parks and Recreation, Jubilee Park and Community Center, Literacy Instruction for Texas and Vickery Meadow Learning Center. Papert added, “One of the beautiful aspects of ‘The Tempest’ is recognizing the human in all of us. This production does it quite literally.

Dr. Rice employs a group of cyborg-ish military types called The Reavers, who are led by Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), and will stop at nothing to track down their pricey weapon, Laura. Scott Frank, Michael Green and director James Mangold’s script then takes Logan, Charles and Laura on a road trip across the country with enough bloody, frenetic action to keep the comic book junkies entertained. However, “Logan” really soars as a character study that highlights the rage and optimism of Laura, Charles’ paternal grace and charm, and the reluctant heroism of Logan. Mangold and cinematographer John Mathieson wisely stay away from CGI and create a realistic, gritty world that never seems like “super hero” movie. It’s shot like a post-apocalyptic western that even makes Las Vegas look like a ghost town trapped in the 1980s. Unlike previous X-Men flicks, the action is bloody and jarringly violent, particularly when the tiny Laura gets involved. There’s no doubt that the breakout star of “Logan” is Dafne Keen, who barely speaks for half of the movie, but her reactions and wild dog snarl do more than
members are volunteers, and they join a cast of five professional actors. One of Dallas’ sweethearts, Liz Mikel plays Ariel, who also helps narrate the story. She keeps the audience on its toes by switching from modern language to Shakespearean. Also featured are André De Shields, Ace Anderson, Alex Organ and Rodney Garza — all highly-regarded names in Dallas theater. As both a volunteer actor and representing a project partner, Papert says, “Participating in this project has been deeply profound in many ways. For me, one of the most important aspects has been the opportunity to connect with new people — people I wouldn’t have ordinarily had the chance to meet or interact with in my normal daily life — and come together to create something magical that we get to share with the city of Dallas.” Mayor Mike Rawlings will give a cameo performance on March 3, and will be rotating the role of wedding officiant with Councilman Adam McGough, Councilman Adam Medrano and voice of the Dallas Cowboys, Brad Sham. Watch for more information about New York/Dallas’ Public Works Project and its collaborations with Vickery Meadows Learning Center, Literacy Instruction for Texas (LIFT), SMU, Dallas Theater Center and other community organizations in future issues. Performances are March 3-5, at 8 p.m. The Dallas Theater Center is located at 2400 Flora St. For additional information, visit dallastheatercenter.org.
enough to let you know who she’s modeled after. Keen carries the emotional baggage during the second chunk of “Logan” and yes, tears will be shed over her performance. Patrick Stewart is heartbreaking in his final performance as Charles Xavier. It’s fairly shocking to hear an actor playing a character he’s crafted with such care to drop F-bombs, but his snarky adoration and care for Jackman’s Logan is truly touching. This is a lovely farewell to a truly beloved character and Stewart doesn’t let it go to waste. If “Logan” is indeed Hugh Jackman’s goodbye to Wolverine, he’s going out with an iconic and wonderfully understated performance. There’s nothing showy about this role and Jackman shows the humility required for a part that shows his age. If you never thought an actor in a comic book movie would make you cry, it’s because you haven’t seen “Logan” yet. The heavy R-rating allows “Logan” to show what this character has deserved for almost twenty years. The ending is bittersweet and bravely employs something most comic book movies desperately need: an ending.
Awards cont'd from page 1 the Texas Medal of Arts recognizes artists and arts organizations that impact the nation and the world,” said DBDT founder Ann Williams. During her acceptance speech at the gala in Austin, Ms. Williams told the audience, “We have worked with millions of boys, girls and young adults teaching dance education, instilling a sense of pride, self-esteem, discipline, joy and courage. We believe that the arts are so important to one’s total development and education.” Forty years of dance have produced countless success stories of DBDT alumni who have gone on to meaningful careers incorporating their dance training. They credit DBDT as launching the trajectory that to becoming who they are today. One of those stories belongs to Amber Merrick, who is currently appearing on Broadway in “Cirque du Soleil Paramour.” The Maryland-born dancer graduated from Baltimore School for the Arts. For three DBDT seasons, Merrick was a company member and instructor two of those seasons. “Dallas Black was the first full contract of my professional career,” said Merrick. “I spent the formative years of my early twenties learning how to navigate life as an adult and professional dancer. I’ll forever be grateful to Ms. Williams for the opportunity.” The dancer added, “As a young, eager dancer, all you want is a chance; for someone else to believe in you as much as you believe in yourself. Also, by working in the academy, I developed a true passion for teaching and realizing the responsibility I have to future generations also looking for that chance. The lessons I learned about myself and the world while with the company are endless.” In comparing similarities between the Broadway show and DBDT performances, Merrick said, “We spend so much time together that we get to know each other really well. We win together, we lose to together, we get dressed together, we laugh together, we cry together, we dine together, we nap together, we bicker and, most importantly, we take care of one another when necessary.” “We have family away from home and some bonds will last long after the final curtain closes,” she added. When asked if she is a New Yorker now, Merrick quipped, “Home is where the rent is.” For more details visit dbdt.com and dbdt. com/academy.

individuals. Cancer attacks immune cells, the very same cells that should destroy cancer cells. CRISPR-Cas9 can disable the gene that puts a stop on a cell’s immune response, letting them regain ability to fight and destroy cancer cells. The first clinical trials using some of this CRISPR-Cas9 technology in humans in the U.S. will be sometime this year. Another hack of CRISPR is using the technology to not just cut out DNA but to alter the epigenome. DNA codes for proteins which make up your body. Not all of your DNA codes are turned on and many are turned off. Altering which codes are turned on or off affects what your body displays. Think of twins — they have the same genetic makeup (same DNA), yet their physical appearance is different — they look and act different. This has a lot to do with their epigenome and environmental factors that have turned some genes on and others off. Using the CRISPR technology, scientists are sending proteins to precise spots on the DNA to turn on or off certain codes. This is another way genes can be altered to select for traits. This technology comes with great responsibility. Changing the genome of one organism in the population will effect the entire
Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week will give a certain small percentage of individuals precisely what they want. That alone is likely to throw everyone else into a kind of frenzy of yearning, leading some to pursue their heart's desire with new resolve, while compelling others to go after what others already have and driving even a few to stoop to illicit means to come out ahead. The result of all this activity will surely be heightened emotions, conflicting perspectives and, in some cases, uneasy thoughts that haunt the minds of those who sense that something is in some way not quite right as the world moves ahead. In a precious few cases, individuals will be able to rise above the fray and see things the way they really are; these are the ones who can lasso the moon if they so desire. Those who, as a result of luck or stellar design or good oldfashioned hard work, find themselves sitting pretty all week long will have reason to help those who are less fortunate. They are likely to find that helping others is a way to help themselves in a way that can be truly lasting and valued by all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may have to track down someone who has all the answers — or at least one or two that you most need. Are your questions up to date? (March 6-March 20) – Someone is straining a certain relationship with expectations that are not, according to some,
“part of the deal.” An explanation can calm some nerves. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You're not likely to think about the ordinary very much at all until someone turns it into something extraordinary. (April 5-April 19) – Avoid the artificial — in what you think, say, do and eat. The more organic your processes, the more likely you will be to rise to the top. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) All it takes is once. As soon as you get that one time out of the way, you can move on to something more important and lasting. (May 6-May 20) – Despite the fact that the desire to heal is universal — and the need for it is obvious — you seem to resist taking a step that can start the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Let a certain someone call the shots, and you'll feel that you've put yourself in very good hands. Don't wait. (June 7-June 20) – You're able to interpret messages and decipher signs with remarkable accuracy. For the most part, it's purely instinctive. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may find yourself arguing against the idea that what you are after is largely obsolete, and you'll have proof by week's end. (July 8-July 22) – You'll want to ask yourself how safe you really feel as the week opens, and you'll
work all week long to ensure that the answer for you and others is “perfectly.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Though you may get a cool reception early in the week, later on you'll enjoy a much warmer climate among those who support you openly. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You'll have the chance to restate your position in terms that more people will understand. Events will take an unexpected turn as the weekend approaches. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Though someone insists that his or her recent activities have all been legit, you can shed light on some issues that are worth investigating. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You'll need to steer clear of not only the appearance of conflict, but outright conflict itself. This can be done if you confess certain faults. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) It may be time for you to mount your own investigation of certain deals to which you have not been a party, but that affect you directly. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Now is no time for plagiarism of any kind. Such copycat behavior, if discovered, can put your reputation in danger for quite some time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may choose to revisit a certain small portion of your past. If

population, and what change will that cause in the ecologic system? Let’s look at the zika virus for a second. It’s a deadly virus carried by only a few species of mosquitoes. Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists could alter the genome of a mosquito to make it unable to carry the zika virus. When this mosquito reproduced, it’s offspring would carry the same DNA and soon the entire species would not be able to carry the virus, essentially destroying the virus. But, what if when the mosquito was altered it made it distasteful to its predators? The mosquito population would explode. And what if it could now carry a different, even more deadly virus? The point is, the ecologic systems are highly complex and connected. If these CRISPR-Cas9 genes enter the environment, the ramifications could be extreme. And how far are we willing to modify the human genetic genome? Would you like your child to express more of their DNA code for longer, thicker hair?

Nothing evokes a serene and relaxed lifestyle in North Texas quite like a home. Quite frankly it is the Candace Evans home du jour, which I know and you would know if you read and followed my blog, www. CandysDirt.com. So what’s stopping you? Traditionally, Santa Barbara Mediterranean is a blend of Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean and Moorish architectural elements. Today, builders are putting a fresh spin on the look. Defining features such as white stucco and red-tile roofs keep the architectural heritage intact, but gone are the days of colorful tiles and heavy dark wood. There’s no better example of this than 4412 Lorraine Ave. Danes Custom Homes just put the finishing touches on this Santa Barbara Mediterranean in Highland Park. Yes, Highland Park, the hotbed of controversy this week. Their appreciation for quality, timeless elegance and craftsmanship is evident everywhere you look. Alana Villanueva of AVID Associates designed the 7,935-square-foot house. Working with architect Don Caperton of The Caperton Group, they wanted to create a classic look that was still young and fresh. “This is the third home I’ve worked on with Danes Custom Homes,” Villanueva said. “Spec homes are exciting for me because I have quite a bit of creative license. This house in particular represents my personal style, so it was a lot of fun.” The house has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two powder baths along with five different living areas. It’s also prepped and ready should you choose to install an elevator. “My favorite room is the library,” Villanueva said. “I love the ceiling treatment. It is a modern take on a traditional coffered ceiling and it makes a statement right when you walk in. That room is centered with a blocky
Carrara fireplace and I used a Ralph Lauren polished chandelier.” A large portion of the home is furnished, allowing potential buyers to truly understand the flow and to create an immediate emotional connection. “We mixed up this interior with some clean lines on the upholstery,” Villanueva said. “We’ve had people purchase all the furniture in a spec home before. It’s nice because they can then call us and we can add in the draperies and other items they may need.” If you’re ready to do some California dreaming, give Amy Detwiler of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s a call. She has this gorgeous Santa Barbara Mediterranean listed for $5.995 million. CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed!

HAmmer cont'd from page 8 best, not only for its sturdiness, but its blooms that would naturally decorate the treehouse in spring. It would serve as a gorgeous view from those who are in the home looking out. One of my favorite parts about a treehouse is the potential for great mood lighting. If the tree house has a decent porch, maybe one that wraps around, you could line it with string lights. Inside, go fancy with an appropriately sized chandelier, lanterns or Mason jar lights. Ultimately, the best way to go about designing your dream tree house is by imagining it as a rustic, playful extension of the home. How would you mix styles if it were attached to your house?

utilize space in your backyard by building upward — a rule I live by no matter what. Building vertically almost always increases the value of a home, because it’s creating space and function, which also applies to the backyard. If your backyard is small and not very fun, a treehouse is perfect. If you have a large backyard, well then, more reason to make something magnificent so the kids spend more time outside. Just be sure to consult a professional for expertise and safety features. The same goes for after completing construction (if you do it yourself); be sure to consult a professional to check stability before any test runs! Be safe and have fun. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.
