Show of hands. Who knew that hundreds of canned goods can be crafted into a work of art, and on exhibit at the State Fair of Texas? And who knew that there is an organization behind these masterpieces that is supported by philanthropic architecture, engineering and building business firms in the Dallas area? How about a State Fair exhibit that has fed thousands of hungry neighbors during its 20-year history in Dallas, on exhibit at NorthPark Center until the past three years during which “home” has become the State Fair of Texas? And, who could imagine that a volunteer team of professionals, Canstruction, has contributed 1.5 million cans of food to the North Texas Food Bank during its 20-year tenure in Dallas, this year at the State Fair of Texas? Hands down now. Canstruction, giant
“cansculptures,” was created by the Society for Design Administration (SDA) in New York, working in cooperation with the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Competitions are held annually in more than 150 cities internationally, with their mission being a unique way to pitch in, helping feed the hungry. Competing teams paired by architects and engineers partnered with design and construction firms to showcase their talents by designing sculptural art made out of canned foods. The project is a vehicle for members of the design/build industry (architects, engineers and contractors) using what they know best, in order to raise awareness to and feed the hungry in North Texas. According to Ruth Vandruff, office manager and senior associate for Perkins+Will, who co-chairs the

Letter from the Editor
Don’t send in the clowns
By Nancy Black
Ha. Ha. Very funny! No, I’m not writing about the political debates going on in our country. I’m writing about the “Creepy Clown” hoax happening all over our Nancy Black nation. I strongly dislike (we don’t use the word “hate” in our house) clowns*. But I love Halloween. So I’m hoping these clowns** are just pranking around in anticipation of All Hallows’ Eve. A Halloween tradition in our house (other than going to the Arboretum for pumpkins) is to attend the 30th Annual Dia de los Muertos Art Mart at the Bath House Cultural Center. For some reason, I have no problem looking at the elaborately decorated Spanish skull masks called calacas in the galleries. But show me a scary clown mask at the local costume store and I get the heebie jeebies. Dia de los Muertos means Day of the Dead. People celebrate the deceased by building alters (ofrendas), visiting graves with gifts, and offering marigold flowers to help in their dead relatives’ spiritual journey. The Bath House exhibit opens on Sunday, Oct. 16 with an art workshop from noon until 4 p.m. A free reception with the artists is from 5 to 7 p.m. that evening. Visit bathhousecultural.com for more information about all the happenings at the Bath House. Readers have been sending me lots of emails with other fun ways to celebrate Halloween in our community. One such cyber letter came from a couple of funeral directors! DeWayne and Stephanie Hughes
are hosting a Dia de los Muertos festival in Crown Hill Memorial Cemetery! Commissioned by the Hughes Family Tribute Center, the event is on Oct. 29 from noon until 9:30 p.m. According to the Hughes’s email, “The Festival will also feature altar building and blessing; vendors of traditional Dia de los Muertos items such as marigolds, pastries and sugar skulls; children’s activities; live music and prize drawings.” The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit hughesftc.com. Another unique Halloween event to experience is seeing a live stage version of the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Show.” Whether you’re a long-time fan, like me, or have never even heard of the show, you’re bound to be impressed by the talented actors at the Art Centre Theatre in Plano. This will be their eighth year presenting the classic tale of Dr Frank-N-Furter, a mad scientist, and his mysterious castle full of misfits. The Rocky Horror Show opens at 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 and runs every Friday and Saturday at 10:30 p.m. until Nov. 5. Tickets can be purchased online at artcentretheatre.com or at the door. Whatever you do for Halloween, have a safe and fun time. But, if I were you, I wouldn’t dress up like a clown*. You may meet a clown** and then no one will be laughing. * kloun/ 1. a comic performer, as in a circus, theatrical production, or the like, who wears an outlandish costume and makeup and entertains by pantomiming common situations or actions in exaggerated or ridiculous fashion, by juggling or tumbling, etc. ** kloun/ 4. Slang. a coarse, ill-bred person; a boor.

MOVIE TRAILER
Adaptation of ‘The Girl on the Train’ is a train wreck By Chic DiCiccio Oh, David Fincher, this is your entire fault. The success of Fincher’s “Gone Girl” has made it sheik to put every bestselling thriller on the screen, thus the film adaptation of “The Girl on the Train.” While this massively popular book may be a hit with many readers, the film version is a boring and predictable mess that goes off the rails about 30 minutes in. The movie is told from the perspective of three women, Rachel (Emily Blunt), Megan (Haley Bennett) and Anna (Rebecca Ferguson). Anna is married to Tom (Justin Theroux), who used to be married to Rachel. Anna and Tom employ Megan, who lives a few houses down with her husband, Scott (Luke Evans), as their nanny. Every single one of these characters is deeply flawed, but none of them approach Rachel’s level of crazy. She spends most of her days sucking down copious amounts of vodka while riding a train in and out of Manhattan just because the train track goes by her old house. One of the biggest problems with “The Girl on the Train” is that it spends an hour trying to get you on Rachel’s side while watching her reach peak stalker levels. Her booze-filled blackouts cause her to forget huge chunks of time, which puts her square in the crosshairs of Detective Riley (Allison

Emily Blunt stars as Rachel in “The Girl on the Train.” Janney) once Megan mysteriously disappears. After Rachel goes missing, the movie becomes a bait and switch whodunnit that poses everyone as a suspect, most notably Megan’s psychiatrist, Dr. Kamal Abdic (Edgar Ramirez). There are flashbacks that begin with title cards, but there’s never any indication of when the flashback ends and they are used as lazy “ah ha” or “gotcha” moments. The conclusion is a violent snooze that runs with the theory that two wrongs do indeed make a right. The screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson is clearly framing Rachel as some sort of misunderstood hero, but there is difficulty in
rooting for her. The biggest problem with “The Girl on the Train” is that it’s put together with a lack of creativity that is commonly reserved for late Friday nights on Cinemax. When a screenplay is this straightforward and every twist is blatantly obvious, the director has to be imaginative enough to create suspense. Instead, director Tate Taylor’s pedestrian style makes an non-inventive script that much more boring. The three male leads, Theroux, Evans and Ramirez, are one note machinations only present to be crime suspects. They play the roles of oblivious idiot, raging hubby, and shoulder to cry on, leading to wooden, stiff performances from all of them. It’s not so great for the women either. There’s a little depth to Rebecca Ferguson and Haley Bennett’s roles, but only enough to almost make you care. Ferguson is a stayat-home mom who is unable to watch her baby on her own, which isn’t exactly an endearing personality trait. But the worst aspect of
“The Girl on the Train” is how Bennett’s Megan is treated. She is nothing more than a crazed, over-sexed maniac that tries to pounce on every man that crosses her path. There’s some complexity to her, but it’s only used to create suspicion for others, not so she becomes a fully fleshed out character. By the time her past is revealed, it’s too late to care. Thankfully, the Girl in “The Girl on the Train” is handled quite well by Emily Blunt. Her bloodshot eyes, boozy slurred speech and drunken red cheeks make you pity her, even when she’s invading the privacy of others. The material does her no justice, but Blunt is giving this her all and naturally has the most to chew on of all the actors. “The Girl on the Train” is divorcee revenge porn. Instead of fully embracing and reveling in disorder, it goes heavy on the melodrama and becomes so ridiculous that there was actual laughter in the theater. There’s no way to be sure, but the creative team here probably wasn’t hoping for giggles.

Words to Live By
Addicted to fear “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1 Americans these days are addicted to fear. Fear is a natural emotional response God has given us for good reason. Fear helps us not put a hand in the fire or leap out of a moving car. But fear applied in excess or at the wrong times may bring us harm. Think of fear like a controlled substance. Medications that do good when used properly may also kill us if used in excess or improperly. Addiction happens when something occasionally useful becomes harmful through continued dependency. Americans are addicted to fear. We live in a constant cycle of outrage and dire warnings. Many of us seem to derive pleasure from being scared to death. It no longer matters whether the fear is based in reality or even based in likelihood. And yet … the overarching message of the Bible is, “Fear not.” From the Old Testament to the New Testament, from angelic visitations to the words of Jesus himself, people of faith are encouraged not to become addicted to fear.

The coming week will see many individuals taking advantage of opportunities that are entirely self-made. This puts such a person in the enviable position of being able to choose between two or more options that are equally beneficial, enjoyable and lucrative. “Many” is not “all,” however, and the difference between those who do and do not prevail will be very simple. Those who are able to plan for the future will know what to do; their ability to visualize what is likely to happen and tailor their behavior accordingly is what makes the difference between success and failure — it all begins with foresight. Indeed, fortunetelling may become a highly prized ability!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You will want to keep your eyes on the prize and remember that it's not over until it's over. Seek weekend rewards! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – There is much that others can tell about you simply by looking at you, but only by talking with you at length can anyone know the real you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You're likely to get your shot, and being ready will make all the difference. You're ahead — but you must stay ahead! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You may be surprised by what comes at you at the hands of someone much younger. He or she has your number — at least for now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) No one promised you “fair,” but only a hard-fought contest. The table is set for you to do something memorable. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – The difference will be in how you address the difficulties you encounter; you cannot avoid them, but you can neutralize them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You'll find that you have to work harder to reap the usual results, but the current phase shouldn't last all that long. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be feeling stiff and out of sorts throughout much of the week. Trust a friend or partner to smooth the way for you as often as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You'll want to go directly to the one who makes the decisions to find out what your role will be on the job. Get specifics! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may have trouble making a decision that
will affect many in your care. A competition heats up between you and a rival. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may want to reach out to those who haven't responded favorably to you in the past.

Graduated and on your own: now what? By Nathaniel Sillin The preferred roofing contractor for the White Rock Lake area. Family Owned & Operated since 1988 More than 30,000 jobs completed Free Estimates Licensed and Insured www.bertroofing.com
Fall is here and school is back in session, but for many graduates, it’s out for good. If you’re a recent high school or college graduate, this might be the first time you’re on your own. Living away from home and paying for your own housing, food and other necessities can be a tough adjustment. But being on your own for the first time is a new and exciting experience and it offers a perfect opportunity to set yourself up for success. Make sure you have the right bank account for you. A lot may have changed since you opened your account, so consider changing your account to find the best one for your needs. If you are still sharing a bank account with your parents, consider opening your own. Opening an account can be simple and it’s possible to do so online or over the phone — but you’ll need a minimum deposit amount and documentation like your Social Security Number. For helpful tips, see the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) guide on opening a checking account. Live within your means. As you begin your career it’s essential to have reliable income and use it responsibly. A good budgeting guideline to start with is the 50/20/30 rule. Allot 50 percent of your income to necessary costs like housing, 20 percent to financial goals like repaying student loans and 30 percent to spending money. Remember that this is a rule of thumb and you can adjust it to fit your needs. Never spend more
than you have, and always pay your bills on time. Figure out taxes. The most important thing to know about taxes is that you must pay them on time or request a six month extension. If you’ve missed the deadline, don’t ignore the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) — follow their guidelines for repayment. There are multiple ways to pay your taxes and you can download the IRS2Go mobile app to make payments. Check with your parents before filing. If they claim you as a dependent, you won’t be able to claim tax exemptions. Finally, check if you qualify for special exemptions like a student loan deduction. Take charge of your student loans. First, confirm your loan status at the official Federal Student Aid website where you can also explore your payment options and estimate how long it will take to repay your loans. Always make the minimum payments on time, and if you’re having trouble paying off your loans, don’t ignore them. Contact your lender, explain your situation and pay as much as you can immediately while prioritizing paying off the rest. Check up on your healthcare. Under the Affordable Care Act, you can stay on your parents’ plan until you’re 26. If you aren’t currently on your parents’ plan or wish to leave their plan, you have several options to explore. Under federal law, if you’re not covered by health insurance you must pay a fee on your next federal tax return. You can explore the different levels of coverage available and estimate
how much a plan will cost you at healthcare.gov, the federal healthcare website. Get ready for retirement — yes, really. The younger you start saving, the more valuable your savings are. According to this Bankrate example, starting your savings at age 25 at $2,000 a year will yield a retirement account of $560,000 (assuming your earnings grow at 8 percent every year). But starting10 years later at age 35 will yield just $245,000 at retirement — less than half the money you’d have if you started saving ten years earlier. The earlier you start saving, the more money you’ll end up with — and if you take advantage of an employer-matched 401(k) fund, you can put away extra money for free. Charge up your credit score. Building up credit as a young adult is important for big purchases down the road. Buying a house or purchasing a car are often significantly harder without a good credit score. It’s smart to start building good credit while your expenses are relatively small. For more information, the CFPB has a database of frequently asked questions with everything you need to know about credit cards and credit scores. Bottom line: Though the transition from student to independent adult may feel overwhelming, you can take this opportunity to get your finances organized and prepare for working life. Building a strong financial foundation early on will help you worry less about your money and allow you to fully enjoy other new aspects of your life after college.

Possums cont'd from page 1 • Dead animals (carrion) • Over-ripe fruit, grapes and berries Possums help prevent Lyme disease. Possums attract lots of ticks. When the possums groom themselves, they kill those ticks. A single possum can groom off and kill more than 5,000 ticks per week. Those ticks could have been carrying Lyme disease. Possums are resistant to Lyme disease, so they don’t carry the disease, despite being tick magnets. Despite being relatively harmless, if not actually beneficial animals, many people still consider possums a nuisance. What can you do to keep them out of your yard and house? To make your yard less attractive to possums: Eliminate food sources • Keep your garbage covered. • Bring pet food inside at night. • Pick up fallen fruit from trees. • Stop feeding the birds for a few weeks if possums are eating fallen birdseed. • Cover food scraps on your compost pile with lots of leaves or grass clippings. • Clear shrubbery or brush to remove their hiding places. Keep your yard well lit all night. Being nocturnal, possums like the dark and tend to avoid light. Repel them. Puncture a coffee can in several places. Put ammonia-soaked rags inside the can and put the lid on the can. Replace the ammonia every day. Do not use this repellant around babies or pets. What should you do if you encounter a possum outside your house? Nothing. Leave the possum alone. Given that possums are harmless and actually beneficial, there is no
reason to hurt or kill them. How can you remove a possum from inside your home? Don’t panic if a possum winds up inside your house. Possums rarely attack people. They may bare their teeth in a threat display, but they are unlikely to lunge and bite. They are more like to play possum. There are several ways to
about anything around them as a welcoming gesture to guests, trick-or-treaters or just you at the end of the day. I keep mentioning porch swings, but they don’t have to be your only form of seating. You know how I love window seats. Well, who says they have to be inside? Let’s take the window seat outside and create an exterior window seat. This way, you’re reading and drinking coffee in the cooler air while being right next to your living room. It’s comforting and connecting. Lighting is another fun factor to think about. Sconces, street lamps, overhead lighting from the porch ceiling or fun string Christmas lights draped across the rail are all good options. For some details, change up the door bell cover, door knocker and address numbers. Lastly, add some pots to your window sills. This way, you save some space while adding some character. Not to mention, this is a great fall decoration, as you can throw in some mini pumpkins and decorative leaves or twigs for a harvest look. Pinterest is a great place to go for DIY, crafty decoration ideas, so I highly recommend you dive right in after you get your porch in seasonal shape. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.
remove a possum from your house: • Use a catch pole or trap to capture the possum. • Grab the possum by the tail and carry him outside. (See — it wasn’t such a bad idea!) • Open all the doors and wait for the possum to leave. You can scoot him along with a push broom.

dotty's True Texas Cuisine
Prime location still masters prime beef By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The restaurant incubator at Trinity Groves nurtures some new baby beefcake. Last spring, The Hall Bar and Grill, subtitled “the saloon-style steakhouse,” joined the other concept tryouts; seafood, barbecue, gastro pub, Mediterranean and sushi. The Hall is the steakhouse reincarnation of famed steak meister Bob Sambol, founder of the very high-end Bob’s Steak and Chop House. Sambol’s goal with The Hall is to slightly downsize the mega steakhouse tab without leaving open the question, “Where’s the beef?” There’s plenty of it, as well as a long bone pork chop, seafood including salmon, shrimp and Atlantic cod. Prime beef options include 6-, 9- and 14-ounce filets mignons; 10- and 14-ounce New York strips; as well as 16-ounce ribeyes. And don’t forget the Waygu beef, raised nearby at Rosewood Ranch in Ennis. Select from top sirloin, London broil and teriyaki marinated sirloin. Open for lunch as well as dinner, The Hall’s midday menu offers the same dinnertime salmon and fried shrimp. And did I read correctly? Fish sticks? I bet its really fish and chips. As well as burgers, prime rib and sliced steak sandwiches. And, of course, ditto the dinner steak selections. In other words, eat a sandwich or do the steakhouse thing at lunch. On the dinner menu, there are some quirky, nontraditional starter options: a trio of Hofmann’s brand frankfurters with cubed cheese, spicy mustard and barbecue sauce. More appealing, the Creole strudel: puff pastry filled with seafood and Andouille sausage. Not sure why the griddled pimento cheese gets billed as a starter instead of a sandwich, especially when it is served with a fetching
smoked tomato red pepper bisque. Makes me long for a cold, rainy day when grilled cheese and creamy tomato soup ward off the chill. Chef James Rose certainly knows how to cook a steak. He’s also got a way with sides. Let’s start with the obvious — the carrot. Bob’s Steak and Chophouse was known for the big ol’ glazed carrot that spanned the diameter of the plate. It was HUGE. And, to me, totally unappetizing. Now comes the carrot à la The Hall. Rose’s menu offers a side of cinnamon orange glazed baby carrots with lacy green Dotty Griffith tops. Pretty and edible, if you’re a fan of cooked carrots. Personal note: To me, carrots have always been more about color on the plate than the palate. I rarely eat cooked carrots and never prepare them. Still, props to The Hall for keeping Sambol’s signature carrot but repurposing it into an edible

Toss the sweet potatoes in oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and starting to brown, about 35 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the 1/4 cup oil, the vinegar and the mayonnaise.

option. Housemade egg noodles with butter and parsley are the hidden gem among the side stars. Comfort food nonpareil. There’s, of course, an array of potato dishes; mashed, baked, fried and roasted. Brussels sprouts, roasted with olive oil and shallots then finished with balsamic vinegar, star among the veggies.
But how can you lose with broiled asparagus, creamed spinach or sautéed mushrooms, all steakhouse stalwarts? As at most steakhouses, these are served on the side for sharing. Warning — you will resent sharing the noodles. The wine list is the secret sauce of The Hall. Big wines are real deals such as the Plumpjack 2013 cabernet

SOLUTION TO THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE
Photo by Priscilla Killion
For almost 50 years, the iconic antebellum Millermore home, the first structure to arrive at Dallas Heritage Village, has been set up as a close replica of how it might have looked in 1861, the year that William Brown Miller first moved his family into their new home. “Millermore Exposed,” a new temporary exhibit through Dec. 30, puts visitors in the role of the curator who has just received the empty home and a few furnishings and is challenged to create an authentic exhibit. Six different types of furnishings are segregated into six rooms. The dining room holds the most important collection — the artifacts received from the Miller family. Only a few pieces of Millermore’s usual furnishings are in this room. Many of the artifacts on view are temporarily returning to Millermore after decades in curatorial storage. Visit dallasheritagevillage.org for more information. — Elizabeth Lenart
