People really dig excavation playground By David Mullen Everyone has heard of extreme games, but this one might scoop them all. About one and 1/2 hours north of downtown Dallas off Interstate 75 is the small Texas town of Pottsboro. On Highway 289 sits a 15-acre lot full of heavy construction equipment. Could it be another tract home development? No. It is actually a playground for wannabe excavators. “You are a kid. You are always playing outside in a sandbox,” Robert Nerl, general manager of Extreme Sandbox, Texas, said. “Even today, you see kids playing video games with heavy equipment. So you were always intrigued with things

Ships back on course after short stay in dry dock By Shari Goldstein Stern If it’s checkered tablecloths and waitpersons dressed in nautical gear you’re anticipating, that’s probably up the street. Rather, the atmosphere at Ships Lounge on Lower Greenville is what you expect a dive bar to be. Very low key and divey. This is not a trendy night club offering 100 draft beers and dozens of mixed concoctions. Rather, it’s a kick-back dive, serving your mainstream Buds and Millers, vodka and gin. No frozen margaritas or fuzzy navels onboard here! “Ships is like an authentic hole in the wall,” explained Naser Nayeb, who bought the watering hole along with Matt Pikar. The business partners also own Nora’s and Dallas Beer Kitchen, both on Lower Greenville. You will find some old relics with a nautical theme, like iron railings, hourglasses and compasses. Wooden benches, old leather chairs and bar stools, and a solid wooden bar add Photo courtesy of Ships Lounge to the rustic atmosphere. Ships Lounge, now with upstairs seating, reopened in July. The bar reopened in July after a hiatus, while the building owners had some work done to the property. All the tenants had to move out temporarily. even close to hip hop or current rock.

Story of tragic attack imparts crucial message By Dr. Beth Leermakers “Please don’t let Romeo’s horrific death be in vain.” — Latifa Amdur On Sunday morning, July 31, Latifa Amdur and her beloved service dog Romeo walked to Tenison Park to play. Spotting an unneutered male dog trailing his leash in the playground area, Latifa turned to leave that area. Feeling a tug on Romeo’s leash, Latifa was appalled to discover that Romeo’s collar and leash had been pulled off. One dog was coming after Latifa while two others — a “mass of violence” — were attacking little Romeo. The dogs’ owner finally reached where his dogs were mauling Romeo. He could not control his dogs. The man lay down on top of Romeo, but the dogs continued the assault. Two of the dogs circled Latifa, who was swinging Romeo’s leash and yelling “get away from me” and “leave him alone!” The man was finally able to stand up and carry Romeo above his head to his truck. He put Romeo on the hood of his truck, while the dogs continued leaping at him.
The man finally got Romeo into his truck. With two of the dogs still following her across the park, Latifa hurried home to get her car and call 911. She took Romeo to Hillside Veterinary Clinic (open 24/7 with no emergency fees). Romeo’s injuries were much worse than Latifa feared. Little Romeo had a punctured lung, broken ribs, deep lacerations and blood in his urine. Latifa spent most of the day and evening at the vet clinic. The Hillside vets did everything possible to save Romeo, who was in Photos courtesy of Latifa Amdur excruciating pain. Even with oxygen and a morphine-like drip he Latifa Amdur's therapy dog Romeo, above, was crying like a baby.

Hunger heroes By Nancy Black I was wrong. I had a vision in my head; a preconceived, judgmental notion. I thought I knew what the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) would look like. For some reason (and I’m Nancy Black not sure why) I thought the food bank was going to be dirty, and crowded and located in an old rusty warehouse. Boy, oh, boy was I wrong. Some friends and I volunteered to help the food bank but, I must admit, we were all a bit hesitant as we drove into Oak Cliff at 8 a.m. last Saturday. It wasn’t necessarily the best part of town. Then we arrived at our location and were amazed at what we saw. The North Texas Food Bank is located in a huge, beautiful building on S. Cockrell Hill Road. From the outside, it looks like a hip, happening restaurant, with it’s faux grain silos and brightly colored signage. From the inside, it looks and runs like a well-oiled, state-of-the-art food factory. Professionally produced video “newscasts” shown on big screen TVs welcomed volunteers to the facility. “Reporters” like Candace Cabbage, Gabriel Grape and Beet McKraken explained the volunteering process, safety
procedures and the Do’s and Don’ts of volunteering in the building (no open-toed shoes, among other things). Then we hit the line. Our section was the frozen food area, which felt refreshing on that hot summer day. Two and one half hours later, we had sorted more than 4,000 pounds of frozen beef, pork and chicken. Our volunteer coordinator told us that amount would feed 3076 different families! The nonprofit NTFB provides access to more than 17,000 meals EACH DAY! They help children, families and seniors through more than 1,000 programs in their 13-county service area. NTFB’s goal is to increase that amount to 92 million nutritious meals by the year 2025! One out of four children in North Texas live in “food-insecure” households, according to ntfb.org. In Texas, 4.7 million (Yes, million!) people are food insecure. That is one out of every six people. Look around. That means one of those people you see in a line at any given store doesn’t know where their next meal is coming from. The next time my children complain about there being “nothing to eat” in our house, I’m going to remind them of those startling facts. Then they will realize how wrong they are. For more information on the North Texas Food Bank, or to find out how you can help, visit ntfb.org.
Safety cont'd from page 1 uncastrated male dogs and bring them to an open park without restraint. In Romeo’s name and memory, it must be stopped.” Sadly, attacks by loose dogs on people or other dogs aren’t isolated events in Dallas. In May 2016, Antoinette Brown was bitten more than 100 times by a pack of loose dogs in southeast Dallas and died from her injuries. On July 3, Tamika Batts was bitten 40 times by two loose dogs while she was walking to the store in a Redbird neighborhood. Batts spent four days in the hospital and thought she was going to die — fortunately she survived. In 2008, 316,000 ER visits and 9500 hospitalizations in the U.S. involved a dog bite. Dog bite fatalities are uncommon, with an average of 10 - 15 per year. Most of these fatalities are children who sustain injuries to the head or neck. Here are some Do’s and Don’t’s to keep you and your dog safe and prevent dog attacks. DO: Spay or neuter your dogs! Intact males are more likely to escape from your yard and roam, looking for a mate. Many aggression problems
Amdur's granddaughter Greenler says goodbye to Romeo. can be avoided by neutering your male dog. A female in heat may attract wandering males. Spaying and neutering prevent breast and testicular cancer, respectively. Altering your dog (and cat) reduces the pet overpopulation problem. Every year millions of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanized in shelters or suffer as strays. All dogs and cats in Dallas must be spayed or neutered, or the owner will need to obtain an Intact Animal Permit. Keep your dog on a leash. Dallas City Code requires all animals, including cats,
to be confined at all times (in a fenced yard, enclosed structure, or by a hand-held leash if in the custody of the owner). Loose dogs are not permitted in Dallas. Tighten your dog’s collar so it won’t slip off. You should only be able to put two fingers, held perpendicularly to your dog’s neck, between the neck and collar. Or use a martingale collar that tightens (but won’t choke the dog) when you pull on the leash, making it impossible for your dog to slip out of its leash. Use a no-pull harness for better “stopping power.” This

is particularly important if your dog is very strong on a leash and/or outweighs you. Vaccinate your dog for rabies and distemper. Better safe than sorry! Affordable vaccinations (rabies as low as $3) are available at vet clinics and low-cost vaccination clinics. Always call 911 and report any incident of aggressive or threatening dogs immediately. For all nonemergency issues, please call 311 or 214-670-3111 to report. DON’T: Don’t use a retractable leash in a public, crowded area. Retractable leashes make it very difficult if not impossible to control your dog. Furthermore, the leash may get wrapped around someone’s leg — ouch! Instead, use a 6-foot or shorter leash. Don’t walk your dogs in public if you can’t control them. Stick to your fenced backyard. Don’t take your dog to a dog park if s/he is aggressive or dangerous toward people or other dogs. Don’t allow children to sit on, hug, tease or pull a dog’s tail. Many dogs will bite when provoked. What to do if you think a dog may attack you The Humane Society of the United States recommends these steps if you’re approached by a potentially dangerous dog: • Resist the impulse to scream and run away • Remain motionless, hands at your sides, and avoid eye contact with the dog • Once the dog loses interest in you, slowly
back away until he is out of sight • If the dog does attack, “feed” him your jacket, purse, bicycle or anything that you can put between yourself and the dog • If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your ears and remain motionless. Try not to scream or roll around In the wake of Antoinette Brown’s death, President Michael Sorrell of Paul Quinn

Mull It Over
Time has come to let them in

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
By David Mullen It is unavoidable with Sunday’s (sort of ) retirement announcement by New York Yankees and former Texas Rangers infielder Alex Rodriguez to escape the ongoing controversy regarding the inclusion of Hall of Fame (HOF) worthy baseball players that were linked to performance enhancing drugs (PED) during their professional careers. It is also unavoidable when relishing in Sunday’s achievement of Ichiro Suzuki becoming the first Japanese born major league baseball player to get his 3,000th hit, becoming number 30 on the 3,000 hit list, to not look up and see that the all-time hit leader — Pete Rose — is not in the Hall of Fame and is essentially banned from Major League Baseball activities. The exclusion of Rose and the PED players that are HOF eligible continues to be swept under the rug. The discussions crop up around the time when HOF balloting takes place. I once talked to Rose’s former teammate and HOF member Joe Morgan about the all-time hit leader being inducted into the HOF. Rose has never even been on the ballot. Morgan was adamant against Rose being included into his exclusive club. I disagreed; feeling that at the very least he should be included on the ballot. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” Morgan said. Rodriquez had a bizarre press conference Sunday where he announced that his last game with the Yankees would be Friday, Aug. 12 even though the team is still on the hook for his remaining salary this season and $27 million next year. He will become
a special adviser and instructor — “Not a coach,” Rodriquez said – for the Yankees next season. He could sign with another team for the remainder of the year but that is highly unlikely for a 41-year-old whose skills seemed to disappear in the off-season. That would make him eligible for the HOF in 2021. It is the Baseball Writers Association of America that elects players for the HOF and has showed a sharp distain for any player associated with “the steroid era.” But let’s be realistic here. PEDs were part of the game and Major League Baseball was late to do anything about it. And of those players most associated with PEDs, only Barry Bonds, the all-time home run and single season leader, Roger Clemens, with 354 lifetime wins and seven CY Young awards, and soon Rodriguez are HOF worthy. Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro posted some gaudy offense statistics. But none of these players are HOF creditable. McGwire hit 583 home runs, but only hit .263 lifetime, was often hurt and was never noted defensively. Sosa started his career with seven very mediocre big league seasons before his power hitting expanded as his body expanded as well. And while Palmeiro finished with impressive statistics in a 20-year professional career, he was never the best or most feared player on any of his teams and his best finish in the Most Valuable Player award voting was fifth. There is no denying that Bonds, Clemens and Rodriquez were the best players of their generations. Fans knew about

ALONG THE GREEN trail
Back to school and wallet time By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette
The endless supplies have been out in stores for weeks now. The notebooks, pencils, backpacks and Naima Montacer calculators line almost every aisle sprouting either fear or excitement in every child that passes. The temperatures may not be winding down but our summer vacation is coming to a close. Whether you’re a parent, aunt, in school yourself or just lured into the back-to-school section at Target, here are some tips to make your transition back to school good for you and for the environment. Let’s see if we can also save you money on your supplies. The DISD school supply list is hefty; the 22-line item kindergartner list includes items such as five pocket folders, two primary composition notebooks and 24 #2 pencils. The average parent of a K-12 student will spend about $100 per student on school supplies. Clean your house and harvest the leftovers. It’s rare a child will use an entire notebook and very likely there are several pens and pencils around the house that can be reused this year. Before heading out shopping have your children help you find as much as they can in the house first. Make a list and keep track of what you already have, preventing throwing money on extras. This same tactic can be used for clothes. Everyone wants a few new-to-you clothes for the school year, but first go through your closets to see what is actually needed. When it’s time to shop, explore some of the fabulous thrift stores in the area such as Buffalo Exchange, Genesis Benefit Thrift Store, Salvation Army Thrift Store and many more around the city. Vintage is hip and you’ll find one of a kind treasures and name brand clothing with a little digging. The big item of the school year is definitely the backpack. Check last year’s to see if it’s still in good shape. If so, you can order an iron-on decal or get a name embroidered on it to spice it up for this year. If you need Ships cont'd from page 1 The lounge doesn’t sink until midnight, so thirsty guests can step aboard after a movie or play. Ships’ owners showed a philanthropic side, assisting the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). One night, Nayeb did the bartending and then contributed 25 percent of all his tips plus what the lounge matched to NTFB. It will be interesting to watch if this becomes an annual event. The original owner, Charlie “Red” Hunt, opened the hatch at Ships more than 60 years
a new one, check your tags for bags made from recycled plastic. Many high-quality bags are made from recycled plastic bottles, and you wouldn’t even notice by looking — they are durable and colorful just like a traditional backpack. You still have time to order a backpack or lunch bag from theultimategreenstore.com, which has several varieties of bags made from recycled plastic or organic cotton, including a cute pig or frog rolling bag for little kids! Set your school year up for success by making sure you have a reusable lunch bag, food containers and a water bottle. Label each item, so when the inevitable happens and something is misplaced you are more likely to get it back. Think nontraditional about lunches this year. Leftovers can work for student’s lunches as well and many don’t need to be reheated. Skip the sugar-filled fruit juice boxes and pack the water bottle; skip the bag of chips and pack fruits and veggies in reusable containers. This is a healthier alternative and also produces less waste. According to treehugger.com, 18,760 pounds of lunch waste is created per year by one elementary school. Every little bit counts. Set the tone on your transportation to school now and keep it up every day. According to treehugger.com, 31 percent of kids who live less than a mile from school walk regularly; half of those within a mile of school usually go by car – 60,000 gallons of gasoline would be saved each day if just 6 percent of those who drive less than a mile would walk instead. If you live within a few miles of school either walk or ride a bike. Beyond a few miles, take the bus, which uses less energy than if every student arrived by personal vehicle. Lastly, while everyone is motivated in back to school mode, round up a group to help make your school a bit more green. Does the school recycle? Do they participate in Teracycle in which they can earn money for recycling nontraditional items? Does the school compost food waste? Get your group motivated and see what you can make happen before next summer vacation comes around. Naima Montacer is a freelance writer and conservationist.

With Ships’ 10 a.m. to midnight hours, it’s home to customers spending a relaxing morning — might be a business meeting. At noon the crowd is more buttoned down but with ties shed. According to Nayeb, you will also see plenty of jeans, shorts and flip-flops. Wait a minute! There are plenty of traditional baseball caps, of course. Until its reopening, Ships only took cash — another journey to the past. Not only did owners add an upstairs seating area, but they are thrilled to now accept credit cards.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Pete’s Dragon’ breathes fresh air into cinema
Photo courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Oakes Fegley stars as Pete in “Pete’s Dragon.”
By Chic DiCiccio Before any opening credits appear on the screen, it is clear that “Pete’s Dragon” is not going to be your run of the mill Disney movie. An event as traumatic as any to ever appear in a kid’s movie occurs and it leaves a fiveyear-old boy orphaned and abandoned in a massive forest. This gut-punch of an opening sequence quickly becomes a tearjerker and sets the tone for what may become one of the more popular family films of all time. The story is nothing new or earth shattering, but it is put on film with such passion, focus and commitment from director/writer David Lowery (sharing a screenplay credit with Toby Halbrooks) that it falls nothing short of “Spielberg-like.” Even better, it never panders and earns every single emotion. After the opening, “Pete’s Dragon” moves forward five years to 1982 and Pete (Oakes Fegley) lives in the forest with his best friend Elliot. Of course, Elliot is a huge dragon with green fur that moves and behaves like an oversized dog, thus instantly locking on to
the hearts of anyone who isn’t dead inside. Pete and Elliot stumble across Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), a park ranger who is out in this massive Pacific Northwest forest marking trees to keep from deforestation from her fiancé Jack’s (Wes Bentley) lumber company. Lowery doubles down on that massively convenient plot development and introduces you to Grace’s dad (Robert Redford), who has claimed for decades that he met a giant dragon in that same forest. Pete and Elliot experience the biggest case of separation anxiety of all time when Jack’s brother and coworker Gavin (Karl Urban) catches Pete and he’s brought to civilization. With the help of Jack’s daughter Natalie (Oona Laurence), Pete learns a bit about society and family, but still yearns to be back with his best pal Elliot. Instead of handcuffing them, Disney is smartly giving carte blanche to each of the directors they hire for their live-action reboots. Just like Jon Favreau’s personal take on “The Jungle Book,” this movie has all of the style and complexity that David
Lowery showed in the criminally ignored “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.” If “Pete’s Dragon” was made by a paint-by-numbers director, it would be a boring disaster. Instead, Lowery has made a family film that is honest, heartfelt, and has the look and feel of a movie containing a more personal tale than it actually is. Other than Karl Urban, who is tasked with being a one-note dummy bad guy, every character is fully developed and perfectly acted out. Kids won’t notice it, but there is an underlying subtlety to Bryce Dallas Howard’s portrayal of a woman who is engaged to man whose wife has died and how she relates to his daughter. It’s never simply stated, but Howard and Wes Bentley’s interactions perfectly relay the pressures of that type of relationship. Even at age 79, Robert Redford commands the screen. After he tells the story about the time he met a dragon to a group of kids, you will believe that he actually met a dragon. Even though at this point Redford is more or less playing “Robert Redford,” it doesn’t matter. There’s a
sparkle in his eyes and presence that simply cannot be ignored. “Pete’s Dragon” pretty much hinges on the two characters referenced in the title and each of them perfectly carry the movie. Oakes Fegley is fantastic and considering he spends much of his time acting with a CGI dragon, it’s downright impressive he’s able to be as convincing as he is. Speaking of that CGI dragon, not only is it beautifully rendered, the personality that exudes from it ensures its place in pop culture history. From the wet nose to the way it runs, Elliot is a giant dog that protects and befriends Pete in a way that only a dog can. It isn’t hyperbole to claim that “Pete’s Dragon” may be the finest Disney movie ever made. It will be loved by children as a great adventure and equally embraced as a bittersweet tale about leaving your childhood behind by adults. Also, if you pay close attention to the movie's final moments, it will dawn on you that the movie could also have been titled “Elliot's Human.”

The coming week will see some facing down demons, some resurrecting angels and others dwelling in routine affairs that take on new meaning in their lives in unexpected ways. What this means is that events and circumstances are likely to seem quite special to those who are willing and able to see the extraordinary under a rock, over a hill, within a cloud high overhead or in the eyes of a friend or loved one, whether newfound or long-cherished. This week can be a defining time for a great many people, but there is daring involved; one must be willing to face the fears and dangers that come from within and threaten one's sense of purpose and propriety, before he or she can really embrace and enjoy what this unique time has to offer.
offing, but you will have to narrow down your options before heading off into the sunset. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Time is of the essence – not because there is too little of it, but because there is exactly enough. You know what to do. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Some may suspect that your behavior is being shaped by thoughts and feelings you don't fully understand. Listen to what they have to say. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Are you qualified to fulfill the responsibilities you've recently taken on? The truth will occur to you quite suddenly. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Your excitement about a new opportunity may actually tell you something about yourself you didn't expect to learn.
No matter how busy an individual may be, he or she must find time for love — and the expression of love that has perhaps been long dormant. The simple words "I love you" can work wonders — not just for the hearer, but for the speaker, who may have forgotten how essential that sentence — and the feeling — can be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may be far away from someone who is very much a part of your inner life. By all means, maintain open communication! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – It's easy to say that you are not affected by something you wish to avoid or ignore, but in reality it's very much a part of you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You can provide invaluable assistance to someone who needs it to ready him- or herself for a trial that is fast approaching. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Travel may be in the
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You can restore order to a situation that has gotten out of hand recently. Others are willing to listen to you in a new way. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may have to
do something you don't enjoy doing in order to get something you very much do enjoy. Such trade-offs are common. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You are facing a certain inevitability, so avoid wallowing in any negative emotions that are unproductive and harmful. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You'll want to know who is taking your place. The information comes to you through unusual channels and takes you by surprise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may have to play two roles that seem incongruous or even incompatible, but you'll find a way when your instincts kick in. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Everything you do or say will have far-reaching effects, and you must accept the fact that you may change someone's life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) It's a good time to make an unusual proposal to someone. This is not news to you; you've been mulling it over for some time. (March 6-March 20) – You have something that someone else wants, and this is likely to result in a protracted conflict. Try to keep it from getting out of hand. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Someone close to you is likely to behave in a manner that doesn't

(April 5-April 19) – You are feeling rather emotional, and you may want to examine how this colors your actions before you lose control completely. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Keep your eyes open and your ear to the ground. Pay attention to the signals that are being overlooked by others. (May 6-May 20) – You'll be eager to get home — or at least closer to home. Someone is waiting for you to re-establish contact. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) The time you spend working quietly on your own can be quite valuable. You're in no mood for interruptions or distractions. (June 7-June 20) – You're likely to find yourself swamped by memories of all kinds. A loved one points the way out of a threatening situation. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may not be able to keep your mind off of someone else's business. Why not try to make this a useful, productive reality? (July 8-July 22) – You'll find yourself gravitating toward someone for reasons you don't fully understand. Why not simply let go and see what happens?

Now that school is creeping up, let’s talk about a way to give your kids a homework friendly space that doubles as a quick stop for breakfast: the breakfast nook. There are a lot of ways you can do this. If your kitchen is small and you can’t fit a full table and seating out in the open, utilize your corners. Consider installing a built-in bench along a wall, and if it turns a corner, extend the bench along the turn. Push a small table up to it, add some upholstery, and you’ll have a lovely banquette as a result. Not only does a bench help you save some space, but the table can be pushed in while it’s not in use, adding even more space to a small room. The best part about built-in benches is the storage opportunities. Since the kids will be spending a lot of time doing homework there, make the bench seats to where they can open.

In the spirit of giving new sixth grade students at J.L. Long Middle School a chance to play team sports, the White Rock YMCA and J.L. Long PTA are rooting for another successful season of sixth grade soccer! Under UIL Rules, sixth grade students cannot participate in school team sports, so this is a fantastic opportunity for children to stay active.

Games are played locally, usually on Saturday mornings, and
practices are held at Randall Park (across from Woodrow Wilson High School) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Registration ends Aug. 21 — time is running out, so act quickly if your child wants to play. The first game is scheduled for Sept. 9. The cost is $55 for YMCA members and $94 for non-members. Financial assistance is available for those in need. Register in person or online at whiterockymca.org — please register as a J.L. Long team member under the coach name Aves.

candace@candysdirt.com The Bachelorette and heartthrob take on the M Streets: Will East Dallas ever be the same? You know that you should read CandysDirt.com every single day for the Candace Evans latest in real estate news. Not only do we offer up a daily house porn fix in a myriad of price ranges, we cover the local news that affects housing such as crime, education, development, anything that affects your home’s value — taxes too! Celebrity news is definitely a part of that. So for more than a week, we were hunting down just where “Bachelorette” JoJo Fletcher and her fiancé, Jordan Rodgers, would be moving in Dallas. True confessions here: I do not watch the show. But oh the emails and PM’s that came in asking me to find out. So hunt I did, in my special copyrighted way. Last Thursday evening, the pieces came together and I was ready to post. DIG cont'd from page 1 job, construction site building a house, pipe work, whatever. People see that every day and say ‘that would be awesome to be able to do that.’ It has that magnetism that draws people in. It is not something that you are going to do every day, unless you are an equipment operator. It is fun. It’s like being a kid again. ” The brainchild of Extreme Sandbox is Randy Stenger, founder and CEO, who opened the first Extreme Sandbox outside of Minneapolis in Hastings, Minn. in 2012. “Everyone thinks I have a background in construction, but no, I am just a big kid at heart,” Stenger said. “But the real story is that I have three boys and years ago we were driving by this construction site and the oldest said ‘Dad, wouldn’t it be fun to play in that stuff?’ And I said ‘Heck yeah it would be!’ So I talked to my brother about an idea of this big kid’s playground. But the inspiration was my kids.” Stenger had a full time job with Target in Minneapolis when he began, so he used offtime and weekends to pursue his dream of
Except, my information had been wrong! I was told they bought a house on _____ Street. Found the house but didn’t realize until AFTER I posted that they were actually leasing it. Oh and then we published the street and front of the house but had to take it down for security purposes. It is cray cray out there. I’m hearing that people are knocking on doors all over East Dallas trying to find JoJo and Jordan, who are really going to make a perfect couple if only because their names are just too cute together. No, no, I am NOT going to give you the address, but let’s just say that JoJo and Jordan have finally found their dream house in the M Streets of Dallas. In a home listed by Dave Perry-Miller agent extraordinaire Shannon Blount! The young couple could pay $525,000 (asking price) for a 1,547-square-foot, circa 1949 brick pier and beam that was not just remodeled in 2016, it was knocked out of the ballpark: new windows and refinished hardwoods, total kitchen and bath remodel with white Carrara marble, brushed gold hardware, subway tile and Kohler everything. The home only has two bedrooms but that’s because the third was likely turned into the third living area, a little study or future nursery perhaps? Oh my yes, we are so hoping! There are new doors, new moldings, Bosch appliances in the kitchen (WOW!), a Nest thermostat, that darling banquette in the breakfast area, Kevo keyless entry, new lighting, custom window treatments. The home is basically a new doll house inside a traditional shell, just what buyers are looking for. The home was on the market for all of 21 days. Like I said, it’s a dream house and a dream sale for a dream couple. CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed! Named by National Association of Real Estate Editors as the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country.
digging. “I was smart starting out, wanting to mitigate my risks. I leased the land. I leased the equipment. We didn’t know if people would pay us money to do this.” The idea was so unique that Stenger took the vision to the ABC show “Shark Tank” to seek additional funding. They auditioned for the show, but were not alone. “They get 4050,000 applicants and I think about 150 actually tape segments,” Stenger said. “It is a very stringent process where you have to audition and send tapes of yourself and go back and forth.” They were accepted for season seven, and actually had a buy-in from Mark Cuban and Kevin “Mr. Wonderful” O’Leary for 20 percent of the company for $150,000. “'Shark Tank' was a surreal experience but a real game changer for us,” Stenger said. “It put us on the map. We spent the first few years perfecting the concept in Minnesota to see what we had. Then we wanted to scale and start growing, and that is when the 'Shark Tank' came in. “ The Texas property opened in April. “A lot of people thought that was a Mark Cuban deal but it was actually a (nearby) Tanglewood Resort deal,” Stenger said.

Extreme Sandbox leases the space in Pottsboro from the Tanglewood Resort, which also provides nearby accommodations. Companies often use Extreme Sandbox for team building exercises or individual competitions. On site is a construction trailer with a training room that serves as the epicenter of the acreage. “So basically you are going to come into our facility,” Nerl said, “and we are going to greet you. The next thing we do is go over what you are going to be doing for the day. So if you are going to be doing the classic excavator package, we go over our liability wavers. Then into a video training course which goes over safety. Then we go over the controls on the machine. After that, we set you up with your safety gear. Then we bring you outside and work with you on the machines.” Staff is in contact by two-way radio with the newbie excavators while they are moving earth or crushing cars. The most popular machines among the nine machines in Pottsboro are the excavators and the bulldozers. “The excavator, once you get comfortable with the controls on the machine, will be able to pick up a car,”
Nerl said. “We have an obstacle course. We have games called tennis and basketball. It is all about slow, steady movements. It is a test of hand-eye coordination. You really test those controls in order to get done what you have to get done, whether it’s an excavator, bulldozer, wheel loader or mini-excavator.” Extreme Sandbox has an exclusive agreement with the heavy machinery provider Komatsu. Price tag for an excavator is approximately $200,000. While packages vary, it will cost around $300 for about an hour and one half which includes the training course. Both the Minnesota and Texas facilities are open year round, as the cabs on the machines are climate controlled to 70 degrees. Recently, a mother drove her two 14-year-old sons up from Houston to play in the dirt. Minimum age to operate the machines at Extreme Sandbox is 14. With the models in Minnesota and Texas working well, Stenger is focusing on other markets. “My vision is to have another 10-12 Extreme Sandbox locations around the country in the next five years.” Expansion should be easy. They already have the equipment.

Then they met again at the 2004 March for Women’s Lives in Washington, D. C. where more than one million women participated in one of the largest marches in U.S. history. What were the chances of them running into each other half way across the United States at such a huge gathering? They have been close friends ever since. The two became involved in Women’s Issues Network (WIN), a local organization formed in 1980, which has worked continuously for women’s rights and equality. Each had a particular incident in their past that shaped their lives. Hearn was greatly influenced by her dad in her teen years when he served in the Air Force. He played on a baseball team with fellow soldiers, but when the game was finished, he could not have a drink with the African American players because of the segregation laws. He was angry about the injustice of the laws. Then she personally experienced social prejudice as a teen in Hawaii where she was the minority. Hearn’s first job in the business world in the late '80s was for a small company that rapidly grew to an Inc. 500 company. She quickly rose to the position of CFO and that’s when she discovered that both she and the V.P. of operations were being paid less than what their male counterpart was being paid as the V.P. of sales. “It was shocking to learn that he was paid twice what we were and, when our owner was confronted, he had the nerve to say it was because John needed more income as a man. We threatened to resign until we were paid equally and the owner acquiesced.” Since that time, she has worked passionately for women’s equality and for equal rights for all. Minnis became politically involved when the city was planning to demolish houses on the street behind her house in order to build a thoroughfare. She worked with the neighbors to successfully defeat the plan. She then worked for Congressman John
Bryant for 14 years as the District Director where she learned about the political process and became involved with many civic causes. She has worked on numerous neighborhood campaigns because she knows that one person can make a difference in the quality of life. The pair will be at the Women’s Equality Day celebration at Dallas City Hall on August 24, which has been celebrated annually by WIN for more than 20 years. More than 100 women wearing white will descend upon City Hall for the program. White garments represent the suffragists who lobbied for women to vote, keeping their memory alive. Although women’s voting rights are taken for granted today, they were earned through a long brutal campaign by women that began in the 1700s and culminated nearly 150 years later when the 19th Amendment was passed on August 26, 1920. Until that time, women were not allowed the right to own property, to have legal claim to the money they earned, nor the right to vote. Clothes, jewelry and land were owned by their husbands or fathers. Bibles were one of their few possessions that they could hand down to their children. “Although 66 percent of women are registered, only 46 percent actually vote,” Norma said. “The most important thing you can do to initiate change is to vote.” Women’s Equality Day is scheduled for August 24 from noon to 1 p.m. in the Flag Room on the sixth floor of City Hall located at 1500 Marilla Drive. The keynote speaker is Debbie Branson, former chair of Parkland’s board of managers and the 87th Linz Award recipient. The event will include a proclamation recognizing the 96th Anniversary of Women’s Equality Day given by Mayor Rawlings, the City Council, County Commissioners and others. It will be followed by a program honoring the history and aspirations for full equality of women and girls. Betty Ritchie and JoAnn Jenkins are the event chairs. Jana Barker is the president of WIN. The event is free and open to the public.
Youth Outreach
DART helps victimized kids get to ‘Safe Place’ By Morgan Lyons and Mark A. Ball North Texas youth in crisis have a new fleet of safe places, thanks to DART’s participation in the national “Safe Place” program. Safe Place is a national youth outreach and prevention program for young people needing immediate help and safety. DART is working with the Safe Place program to transport youth escaping dangerous situations to the nearest QuikTrip convenience store, which is a designated “safe place.” Once inside the store, runaways and at-risk youth can wait for a Safe Place agency partner to connect them with professional help. The convenience store chain has been part of the national effort since 1991. “Working with a wellestablished organization
like Safe Place helps us to protect our most vulnerable riders and make our community safer for everyone,” said Tim Newby, DART vice president of transportation. The transit agency began the collaboration with Safe Place as part of its ongoing effort to address human trafficking. Runaways and other youth
in danger are often targets for traffickers. DART began working to raise awareness of human trafficking in 2015 through a series of posters and public service announcements on buses, trains and stations. All DART buses and Light Rail trains will have a Safe Place decal prominently displayed on the exterior and interior of the vehicle. Minors who see the decal will know DART can help get them to safety. Once a minor notifies the operator that he or she is in need of help, the operator — who has received training on handling these situations — will alert DART’s Bus Control Center, who in turn will initiate steps to transport the minor to a Safe Place facility. Learn more about the Safe Place program at nationalsafeplace.org.

Mull cont'd from page 3 their play long before they even were on big league clubs, let alone associated with then unknown PEDs. Bonds was a star at Arizona State University, Clemens starred at the University of Texas, and Rodriquez was a legendary high school baseball player in Florida. Some say that their statistics were good enough before PEDs to get them in the HOF. Maybe, but that doesn’t disassociate them from the belief that they used. I saw Bonds go from skinny kid to a mountain man. I saw Clemens have fits of what is referred to as “'roid rage.” And I saw Rodriquez hit a staggering amount of home runs, including the 156 he hit in three seasons with the Texas

Rangers. Rose violated a rule that is posted in every baseball locker room. There will be no gambling on baseball. Ironic, since Major League Baseball has an association with online gaming sites DraftKings and FanDuel. Rose has served a long sentence for his indiscretion. It is time to forgive. Put them in the Hall with a disclaimer that they cheated or allegedly cheated. Their plaques can sit next to racist Ty Cobb, womanizer Babe Ruth, managers that wrote the names of PED users onto their lineup cards every day and dozens of other players in the HOF that had less than distinguished off-field reputations. All of the best players will then be in the HOF, and the discussions will finally come to an end.
