year. Another new event this year is a branch focused on film called EarthxFilm. The film festival will showcase 20 documentaries and 40 environmental shorts from Wednesday through Sunday. Purchase an all-access EarthxFilm pass and spend your weekend engaged in “emerging media that explores conservation, climate
change and the environment while honoring the heroes working to protect our planet.” Many of the film’s directors, producers and writers will be on hand for talks following the screenings. The Tiny House Village was a huge hit last year with hundreds of people waiting in the scorching sun to catch a glimpse inside and meet real people living in tiny
homes. This year there will be more tiny fun. Earth Day Texas has sponsored more tiny homes to be on site. To help offset the cost and support the village, there is a $5 charge to explore the homes. Register for a four-hour tiny home workshop to get all the details on building your dream tiny home.

Timeless ‘Susan and God’ lands at Theatre Three By Shari Goldstein Stern In 1937, Rachel Crothers’ play, “Susan and God,” opened on Broadway with the accomplished Gertrude Lawrence in the leading role of Susan Trexel. Audiences enjoyed almost 300 performances. Then in 1938, Miss Lawrence recreated her starring role in a movie version. Another film adaptation of “Susan and God” starring Joan Crawford in the Lawrence role opened in 1940. Fredric March and Ruth Hussey were also in the cast. Apparently on demand, Broadway reprised the show for a week in 1943 with Lawrence again taking the lead. The cast featured an unknown, young blonde actress and singer named Doris Day. Thursday, April 20 through Sunday, May 14, Theatre Three (T3) at 2800 Routh St. in the Quadrangle will present its own production of “Susan and God” and an ensemble of some of Dallas’ favorites will reenact the story of Susan Trexel, a wealthy New York socialite who undergoes a religious transformation while
vacationing in Europe. When Susan returns home, she loves spreading her newfound religious experience — a cult — with her closest friends. She drives them insane and, as Susan, Catherine DuBord is up to the challenge. While her credits include some short films and an animated television series, locally she has appeared on stage in “Catholic School Girls” and “Ladybug! Ladybug! Fly Away Home” at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas (CTD). She is one of Dallas’ hardest working actresses. In the play, Susan’s husband (Barrie) and daughter (Blossom) yearn for a stable family life. Barrie will even become sober, hoping that Susan will heed her own advice and save their marriage and family. In the role of Barrie is Ashley Wood, another busy Dallas actor, who appeared in CTD’s “Children of a Lesser God” and “The Wedding Singer” at T3. A newcomer to T3, Brian Hoffman traded his coat and tie a couple of years back to take a professional theater journey almost full time. The Dallas native’s credits include “Regrets Only” at Runway

Letter from the Editor
Look on the bright side By Bronwen Roberts April showers bring May flowers — and tornado sirens, although apparently cloudy weather is no longer a prerequisite. Whether you believe the siren hacking on April 7 was malicious or merely a late April fool’s prank — possibly, even, by a do-gooder wishing to expose vulnerability in our emergency security systems — Dallas has inadvertently sparked important conversations about security nationwide. The key information seems to be that the sirens’ security system operates on encrypted radio frequencies as opposed to Internet connectivity. According to a recent article in Wired Magazine, this is done “on purpose,” as the Internet can be seen to pose a greater risk by allowing infinite access to anyone with the right hacking skills. Apparently, this did not pose a problem for the Dallas hack. So maybe our city’s IT needs a refresher. But can security keep pace with technology? Will hackers always be able to come up with new ways
to circumvent our safeguards? My thoughts are “yes” and “no” and “thank god for hackers.” “Yes,” there is always the next thing, and with the next thing, comes the next anti-thing. “No,” I do not think it is worth fearing terribly the “next thing,” as there is some lag between technological advancements, and in the mean time, reasonable amounts of security. And "“thank god” hackers shake up the status quo, urging advancements. Thanks to hackers, we have learned from this situation that preparedness is key, and that the simple human error of assuming that we have enough protection led to this fiasco in the first place. Hackers are modern day philosophers, bringing to light crucial flaws not only in technology, but in how we think about technology Best-case scenario: I see this incident stirring the interest of people around the world and prompting citizens to educate themselves on information security. Maybe some young’uns out there will even pursue it as a career. A new generation of white-hat hacking rockstars may yet be born of this.

MULL IT OVER
Reading more than just defenses By David Mullen Former NFL Pro Bowl lineman Wade Smith is not your stereotypical professional athlete. He graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in finance. He established a foundation that encourages young children to read. And he is happily married, living in Houston with his wife of 14 years and three daughters, with one on the way. Another girl. For an offensive lineman that played at 6’ 4” and 300 lbs., is raising three — soon to be four — girls a blessing or a curse? “Oh, no,” Smith said. “It is a blessing. Four for four.” That is what you would expect the affable Smith to say. Dallas-born (Baylor Hospital) and raised, he has a big heart. He also has a big weekend coming up. Currently, Smith spends his time as executive director of the Wade Smith Foundation. Called “Wade’s Weekend,” on Friday, April 28 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Smith goes to various area elementary schools for a reading session with students called “Reading with the Pros.” (“Reading with the Pros” is a private event.) He will visit L.L. Hotchkiss Elementary, Hamilton Park Pacesetter Magnet and Wallace Elementary, where he attended. The 2017 “Smitty & Friends” Charity Golf Tournament takes place on Friday, April 28 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Topgolf Dallas at 8787 Park Lane. And Smith will hold a youth football and cheer clinic at Wildcat-Ram Stadium at Lake Highlands High School, 9449 Church Road on Saturday, April 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. More information is available at wadesweekend.com. In 2016, Smith released a book entitled Smitty Hits the Play Books, where main character Smitty (Smith’s nickname) is encourage to put school ahead of football. His second book, Smitty Tackles Bullying, will be introduced at the “Smitty & Friends” Charity Golf Tournament, where he will sign copies. “Our main focus is childhood literacy and education,” Smith said. “We have two major programs. ‘Reading with the Pros’ is a literacy outreach program that we do at elementary schools in Houston and

I get myself, current and former NFL players, NBA and WNBA players, policemen and firefighters. They are professionals from all walks of life. We talk about the importance of reading, how cool it is and how it opens your mind up to so many other opportunities. “Then we have our ‘Smitty’s Scholarship Program.’ We have given out more than $130,000 in scholarships since its inception. That goes to outgoing seniors. We do a minimum of $20,000 every year. Our first class are seniors right now, so it is cool to check their progress to see how they are progressing and see how they are making their way through college life.” After starring at Lake Highlands (class of 1999), Smith, 35 soon to be 36 in late April, initially was a tight end. He was a four-year letterman and two-year starting left tackle as a senior at Memphis. He was named second-team AllConference USA, but wasn’t sure of his draft status because he had played two positions in college and had not yet bulked up to the weight of a prototype NFL lineman. Out of college, Smith weighed 268 lbs. “What scouts didn’t know was that I was poor,” Smith said. ”I didn’t have enough money to eat.” He bulked up for the NFL combine, and weighed in at 296 lbs. He was expected to be a seventh-round pick, but Miami came calling in the third round. “I did a really good job in the skills and interviewed well,” Smith said. He watched the draft on TV on his 22nd birthday at his grandmother’s house in Dallas with 50 family members and friends. Today, living a healthier lifestyle, Smith weighs 255 lbs. He was the third-round
pick — number 78 — of the Miami Dolphins in the 2003 NFL Draft. During Smith’s 12-year career, he suited up for six teams: Miami, the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans, and briefly with the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles. Youth football has become a political football. Many parents are refusing their children to play organized football for fear of injury. “Personally, if I had a son,” Smith said, “I would have him play as many other sports as possible. I really wouldn’t want him to play football until the seventh grade. If you play football at an early age, you have a better chance of getting burned out on the game. And I think there are a lot of coaches that don’t teach how to play and tackle the right way. But if you have a kid that really wants to play, you should support him.” Smith, who didn’t start playing football until he was in seventh grade because the monetary costs were too high, coaches youth football in the Houston area. Player concussions have moved to the top of the NFL agenda. “I am sure that I had concussions over the years,” Smith said, “but I was never diagnosed with a concussion. You just kind of shake it off and keep playing. But the league has changed. When I started playing in 2003, concussions weren’t a big deal. By the time the new CBA [collective bargaining agreement] came out, the NFL started making changes.” Smith was the first offensive lineman in Texans’ history to score a touchdown in an NFL game. “I will always be a trivial question,” Smith joked. But his life after football, and his commitment to his family and his foundation, is anything but trivial.
In MeMoriam
Jan L. Pochmann
Dec. 14, 1924 - Feb. 11, 2017 Janice “Jan” Laine Pochmann passed away on Feb. 11, in Garland at age 92. Pochmann identified herself as a homemaker, but that title reveals just a part of her full life. She had a loving family, a wide circle of friends, and a remarkable range of interests and accomplishments. Born Janice Marian Laine on Dec. 14, 1924, in Chicago, Pochmann was the only child of Craig and Edy Laine. Pochmann attended school in Fort Worth and graduated from TCU in 1949 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She remained a devoted TCU alumna throughout her life. In 1945, Pochmann joined the Army and was assigned to the 75th WAC Hospital Company in Temple, Texas. She provided nursing care to soldiers wounded during World War II. At the same time Jan enlisted, her mother Edy joined the Army as well. This rare mother-daughter duo were formidable WACs. Jan married Henry Pochmann on Aug. 27, 1950. Henry, a devoted husband and

Jan Pochmann. loving father, preceded her in death in 2002. Jan is survived by her daughter Linda Fullington of Fort Worth. She is also survived by her son, Laine Pochmann, his wife Debbie, and their son Tanner, who live in Dallas. A long-time resident of the Lockwood area in northeast Dallas, Jan enjoyed gardening and was an active garden club member. She loved spending time at the family cabin at Lake Tawakoni,
tending her daylily and iris plants for more than 60 years. She looked forward to the yearly Fourth of July parade and picnic at their lakeside community. In the early ‘50s, Jan worked as a flight attendant for Braniff Airlines. She became a Braniff enthusiast and remained active in the Clipped B’s, an organization of former Braniff flight attendants. She and Henry were avid travelers. During their many campouts, they made close and lasting friendships with members of the Ramblin’ Sams, a Dallas-area RV organization. Henry was a long-time engineer for TXU, and Jan made many friends with the wives of professional engineers through the Auxiliary of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers. She was a life-long member of the Episcopal Church. Should you wish to honor Jan's life, in lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Boy Scouts of America, aplacetogive.scouting.org.

Clam chowder for the soul By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Just the idea of a creamy bowl of New England style clam chowder nurtures the soul. This version from Water Grill cossets as gently as flannel sheets. Enjoy some before the Texas heat ratchets up. Whole clams in the shell are a wonderful option but not required. WATER GRILL CLAM CHOWDER 16 whole clams in shell, steamed 1/2 cup chopped slab bacon 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 1 teaspoon salt or to taste 4 cups clam juice or fish stock 2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup soft butter 1 cup cooked clam meat 1 cup cooked, sliced fingerling potatoes 4 teaspoons chopped chives Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Clam Chowder. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is golden brown. Pour off bacon grease. Add onion, carrot, celery and salt to drained bacon. Stir occasionally and cook until vegetables are soft, 7 to 8 minutes, but not brown. Add the clam juice and cream; bring to a slow boil. Mix the butter and flour together to create a smooth paste. When the liquid boils, whisk in the paste, stirring until smooth. Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

When mixture is thickened and smooth, stir in clam meat and potatoes. Adjust seasoning to taste. Ladle chowder into bowls. Garnish each bowl with 4 steamed clams, chopped chives and a twist of freshly ground black pepper. Makes 4 servings. To steam clams in the shell, scrub clams well and place in a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water over medium high heat. When water boils, cover pan with lid and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until clams open. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer clams
to a shallow bowl. Discard any clams that are unopened after 8 minutes and reserve cooking liquid. Carefully pour reserved cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a small bowl, leaving any grit in pan. Use steaming liquid as part of the clam juice.

Theater cont'd from page 1 of service. “My character [in “Susan and God”] is Hutchins Stubbs,” Hoffman said, “whom everyone affectionately calls ‘Stubbie.’ Stubbie has recently married a young stage actress named Leonora, and has arrived at a Connecticut summer home to introduce his bride to all of his friends.” According to Hoffman, “Jeffrey Schmidt, the new artistic director, has been a constant presence throughout the rehearsal process. He maintains a keen interest in the production, but not in a way that interferes with the director and her process. It is very comforting to know that Schmidt has his eye on the proceedings, and that he is committed to providing the entire production staff with whatever they need in order to be successful.” Performances of “Susan and God” are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. A Sunday evening performance is slated for April 23 at 7:30 p.m. and a Saturday matinee will be held on May 13 at 2 p.m. A Deaf Action Center Interpreted Performance is scheduled for Thursday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. and a “Hooky Matinee” is Wednesday, May 3 at 2 p.m. For tickets and information, visit Theatre3Dallas.com.

PreSchool cont'd from page 3 affection, attention, encouragement and mental stimulation, as well as nutritious meals and good health care. A daycare setting may provide some of this, but without an educational component by professional teachers, a child misses out on the critical knowledge necessary to promote them through their academic years — and life. If children have a bad experience in kindergarten, it can shape their future with a negative outlook on learning, curb their curiosity and doom them to a life of struggle. A vibrant humanities program, which opens hearts and promotes enthusiasm, self-esteem, skill acquisition and opportunity to highlight their talents in music, art, foreign language, computer science and physical education is ideal. Parents of young children can start their search for the right school by asking their neighbors, friends and relatives where they send their children. Summer camps are enrolling now for the months of June and July, and often, this is a good way to start looking for a school program for the fall. Private schools often open up their classrooms and playgrounds to summer campers. Looking on line under the Catholic Diocese of Dallas website or googling “Dallas Summer Camps” can give parents a wealth of choices.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can score a major personal victory, but you will also be carrying a major burden. It may be time to gamble. (July 8-July 22) – Someone else's “wait and see” attitude isn't for you; you want to be far more proactive and effect change wherever you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Pride of self, together with pride of family, can serve you quite well. Don't make the mistake of overvaluing mere baseline

Even pregnant mothers who plan to return to the workforce can begin their research on their child’s future school. Some of the most popular daycares and schools have a waiting list, and getting on it can be the key to getting your child in when Mom is ready to go back to work. A mother of four children, two sets of twins in two years, Dzurilla knows the struggle. Her children are all in college now, but she remembers well the craziness of raising four small toddlers, and found a way to be with them when they went to school — she joined the staff at St. Elizabeth’s of Hungary part time, then full time as a teacher, and eventually as vice principal for seven years, and now principal. “Not every mom can go to school with her children,” she said with a laugh, “but it was the right solution for me.” Need advice where to send your child to summer camp or in the fall? Principal Dzurilla can help. St. Elizabeth’s of Hungary is a resource for families with questions and has openings for children of all ages, beginning at pre-K. The public is invited to tour the school and meet the faculty and staff. For more information contact Sandy Walkley at swalkley@saintspride. com or 214-331-5139, or talk with Principal Rachel Dzurilla about the options in Dallas. For more information, see the school’s website: saintspride. com.
Your Stars this Week The coming week will see many individuals make realizations and enjoy epiphanies for which they have been waiting a long time. In many cases, these will involve family members, lovers, friends and other dear ones with whom one has been connected for immeasurable amounts of time. It's a good week for reaffirming connections of all kinds, but especially for reminding oneself and others of the limitless power of love in all its forms — especially friendship. Friends will prove to have all the advantages, and they are likely to progress in ways both planned and unplanned, as extra gains often occur in tandem with consciously attempted goals. This week there is magic in the air for those who wish to see it, feel it, and experience it.

Dallas is a creative hub, whether it’s for design, visual art, music or food. I’m fortunate to be so close to the best design venues and stores I could ask for. To do something a little different this week, I wanted to break down some of the most popular (and my favorite) design stores in the Dallas area. First on the list is Nest, a highly eclectic shop that stocks trendy, edgy and stylish furniture and home decor accessories. Today, the store is located on McKinney Avenue in midtown Dallas and is owned by Scott Alexander and Heather Wiese Alexander. The shop is a combined modern-classic destination for anyone seeking gifts or home furnishings. In my design work, it’s valuable to have a place like Nest, which houses incredible original pieces and gives any project its own signature. Next on the list is Grange Hall, which reminds me of a shop you’d find on Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. It’s mysterious, rich in beauty and extremely unique. The combination of what
the store offers creates a type of retail cocktail that anyone with warm and quality taste would be attracted to. Located on Travis Street in Dallas and owned by Rajan Patel and Jeffrey Lee, the luxury retailer displays its collection of home decor, handbags, jewelry, apothecary (candles, fragrances, bath and body), and other uncommon and exclusive items. This shop is for the eye-catching pieces you’d want in a powder room, entryway or extravagant dining area, and I’m always on the hunt for those focal points. Dallas-based vintage home decor shop Again & Again is a rare find that has some passion behind it. Owner Stephan Sardone Leslie Pritchard takes what is considered “old” or “dilapidated” and repurposes it to be a polished vintage masterpiece. The shop, located

Hammer cont'd from page 8 on Riverfront Boulevard in the Design District, hosts modernized pieces from the past, taking something that was once cast aside and making it useful and even longed-after. The next store on my list, Wisteria, is as whimsical, adventurous and beautiful as its name. Created by couple Andrew and Shannon Newsom, this shop is a collection hub for unique and grand pieces from all over the world. It’s a designer’s dream to be able to walk into a store and find things from Spain, Germany or Egypt all in one place — and all authentic. The store’s outlet in Farmers Branch gives the public opportunities to save on Wisteria furniture and decor, with new pieces being added daily.

furniture that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Lastly, I want to highlight the modern home design showroom SMINK Inc., located on Dragon Street in the Dallas Design District. The Smink sisters — Autumn, Dawn and Jennifer — merged contemporary and classic design under one roof, creating a warehouse full of the most elegant fine art, furniture, paintings, photographs and collectibles. With the best designers and manufacturers all involved, the shop is a hot spot for Dallas artists and remodelers. If anyone desires to be an innovative renovator, they’ll stop by Smink for that iconic piece their instincts have been searching for.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?
A
S outhwestern Medical Foundation (SMF) was formed to build and sustain a great medical center to serve the people of this region. In 1943, the foundation established Southwestern Medical College. Today, UT Southwestern Medical Center enjoys an international reputation for discovering the basis for disease through research, applying these discoveries to the clinical care of patients and educating the next generation of health care professionals.
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
A Help to improve public health in the
southwestern U.S. through support of excellent research and education, which helps solve the mysteries that remain in the treatment and cure of illness and injury. Our community is healthier — literally and economically — due to the outstanding advances being made at UT Southwestern, our academic medical center.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A Seeing the impact of those who have had
the vision over many years “to plant trees, the shade under which they may never enjoy,” and spending time learning from such visionaries.
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A UT Southwestern has conferred more than 19,000 degrees. The medical center trains approximately 3,600 professionals each year and conducts more than 5,800 research protocols. Care is provided to more than 100,000 hospitalized patients and 600,000 emergency room cases. There are 2.2 million outpatient visits annually.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches
those in need? Over many years, the Foundation has averaged 85 percent of its expenses spent on program support.

QW hat events are held for SMF?
A The Sprague Award, our foundation’s
highest community distinction, was presented on February 7 to the Hoblitzelle Foundation at Old Parkland. It was a lovely place to honor a key Founder and the farsighted leader of Hoblitzelle Foundation on the location of the original school they helped to start.

community leaders who also work to advance our mission and bring awareness
Anders cont'd from page 1 Padre Island. “We travel about three months every year,” the retiree said from his South Padre heaven. While in high school, Anders was VP of the Key Club, the young men’s offshoot of Kiwanis. He and his friend went to New York for the Key Club’s annual meeting. “I really liked writing about the shows I saw there,” Anders said. A few of his especially favorite shows are “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “Enter Laughing.” He enjoyed rubbing elbows over the years with stars like Ann-Margaret, Juliet Prowse and Alan Arkin. While in Dallas, Anders ushered and sold tickets for Tom Hughes’ Dallas Summer Musicals. When he was a junior at BA, the musicals needed 6-ft. guys to share the stage with
Q S uppose your nonprofit received a $20,000
check in the mail today … where would it immediately be put to good use? If not otherwise specified by the donor, we would apply such generous philanthropy to the top priorities of the Medical Center in medical education, research or clinical care. A top priority today is the work of the Peter O’Donnell Brain Institute at UT Southwestern. Its funding will allow us to more rapidly advance our knowledge and treatment of brain illness and injury of all types.

QW hat does the future hold for your nonprofit?

Ginger Rogers. They were costumed in top hats and tails. A few years later, he had the thrill of a phone interview with Rogers. Anders published an autobiographical piece for a popular Dallas publication, in which he wrote, “Austin is the perfect refuge for a recovering journalist. In Austin, it’s easy to blend in with the jalapeño chorus. Here, I’m just another slacker. “But there’s a tricky part. I’m trying to pass for a human being in my new life. And, frankly, it’s a stretch. As you may have suspected, journalists are not to be mistaken for real people. Media types simply haven’t evolved to that blessed plateau and probably never will. In some instances, scribes are barely housebroken.” “I love UT,” Anders continued, “but for years now I’ve felt like a jerk for getting a journalism degree instead of studying something useful. Journalism
should be taught in trade schools, like welding. Six weeks at the DeVry Institute ought to do it.” Anders has garnered a healthy cache of honors and recognition under his belt, where he also stores his tacos. He won the Katie award for best column, a Southwest Journalism Forum Award, a Headliner Award for Best Column in State and an AP award. He was honored with the Living Legend Award in 2014 from Dallas Press Club. Helen Bryant Anders was honored with the same award the next year, and they are the only married couple to be given the award. Anders sees Dallas differently these days. “Dallas is doing some great things,” Anders said. “More relaxed town than I remembered.” Maybe Anders will come up with a moniker like, “Keep Dallas bizarre.”

Last year the event attracted over 100,000 people and while most were local Dallas/Fort Worth residents, many traveled from abroad. This year, a school from Nicaragua will be attending. “We’re trying to become this destination event, to be this platform or megaphone or accelerator for this discussion,” Earth Day Texas CEO Ryan Brown said. With this incredible list of activities over the weekend, the international environmental discussion takes center stage in a city known for oil, gas and not the best environmental record. Hosting the largest event dedicated to environmental awareness in the world right here in Dallas is an opportunity for our local communities to learn, discover and take environmental action. The list of events goes on, including a solar car challenge, debate tournament, seed ball making, Lego build challenge and a Lung Force walk. Residents are encouraged to get up, get out and bring something back to their local community, and take a DART train to get there.
Throughout Fair Park there will be over 250 green speakers and panels discussing environmental issues ranging in topics from agriculture, politics, activism, local Dallas issues, habitat restoration, gardening, investing and more. The schedule is still being finalized and can be found on the Naïma Jeannette Earth Day Texas App or online at earthdaytx.org. Stop by the Music Hall to see a live, 36hour “hack-a-thon” termed EARTHACK. This hack-a-thon is centered around solving real environmental issues in our world today. Students and technology professionals will be presented with real life challenges and given 36 hours to explore ideas and design solutions. Forty percent of this group is from out of town. Over $41,000 in prize money will be awarded in EarthxPitch, a four-division Naïma Jeannette is a freelance writer, competition that rewards winning pitches in teacher and conservationist.
