On Oct. 24, Lochwood resident Paula Jackson made a quick trip to the FedEx store near home, a regular 15-minute trip. She returned to chaos. Her home was on fire and her menagerie of beloved pets were trapped inside. Sadly, the fire took its toll. Jackson’s land tortoise didn’t survive. Neither did her parrot or parakeets. A rabbit and yellow lab survived. But one little guy was nowhere to be found: Gibbs, her two-and-a-half yearold fox terrier. As firemen came through her back gate, Gibbs fled and ran for his life. “He has a penchant for running,” Jackson said. “It was my worst nightmare.” That was the beginning of a nine-day search for Gibbs, a saga that included a tracker, pet psychic and a reward funded by international

Gibbs, Mark Harmon’s character on the popular CBS program "NCIS". Jackson and Gibbs made many friends around the world through the White Fox Terrier Facebook page. His escape affected their friends so much that members from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe and the United States set up a GoFundMe page and raised $3,000 for a reward. “It was really a global outpouring,” Jackson said. With that fund they brought in a pet tracker with a hound, seeking Gibbs’ scent with the only items that survived the fire: his halter and leash. But they had no luck. Then a friend suggested a pet psychic. “She said she saw a dog in a field with brush around it,” Jackson said of the psychic. A few days later the psychic called and told her Gibbs was

Woodrow Wilson High School
Local rockers still have the beat years later By Shari Goldstein Stern Woodrow Wilson High School’s class of 1956 commemorated its 60th reunion with an event at the school last month, which included a lot of visiting, lunch, some exhibits and Woodrow’s own band, the Big Beats, who played for two hours. Dallas’ favorite cowboy, Burton Gilliam, WW ‘56 (“Blazing Saddles”) was emcee. Gilliam waxed sentimental: “When I left my high school yesterday, I sat in my car and cried. I felt I’ve been accepted by the ‘56 grads as one of their own. I was a poor student. I was a kid wanting to do well but had no idea where he was going or how to get there.” “What an honor it was to be part of the organizing
committee for this 60th reunion. I’m positive I will be around in 2026 to celebrate the 70th,” Gilliam added. Still playing after all these years, the Big Beats band entertained, with alum C.W. Kendall, Jr. on the piano and keyboard. Kendall formed the rock and roll band in 1957. Some of the earliest members were Woodrow Wilson classmates Donnie McCord and Bill Crawford. The band played throughout the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s and a group of them still play today. Woodrow alumni Bobby Rambo, Earl Slocumb, Billy Mitchell, Larry Randall and Kendall played at the reunion. Earl Slocumb was particularly entertaining with his Chuck Berry and Elvis moves. Kendall started playing

Letter from the Editor
I want to suck your blood By Nancy Black I'm hesitant to answer my cell phone these days, Bill collector? Pollster before the [shocking] presidential election? Carter Blood Care? Carter Blood Care? Nancy Black Seriously. I got a call from Carter Blood Care. And I thought the worst. I had recently donated blood after the massacre of police and DART officers in downtown Dallas. “Do I have cancer?” I thought to myself instantly … or leukemia!? “Why are you calling me?” I quickly asked the representative. “You have good blood,” is basically what she said. They just wanted my plasma. Not blood. Plasma.
I shared my story with our fabulous Social Media and environmental expert, Naima Montecer Hill. She thought it would be a great idea if we were to Facebook livestream during the “plasma event.” Who knew Naima Montecer Hill was terrified of needles? Not me. I thought she was there donating blood while I did the plasma thing as a way of supporting me. Wrong! Naima had every Carter Blood Care technician and patients in the building holding her hand by the end of our donations. Thank goodness they have free Powerade and cookie snacks to enjoy after the donations. Bottom line: this holiday season, think about what you can really give your, or someone else's, loved ones: the gift of life. And it only costs about an hour out of your day.

FAFSA changes made easy By Nathaniel Sillin
Garden provides real life learning experience By Naima Montacer
Do you have a high school senior who is knee deep in the college admissions process? Writing essays and filling out forms can be a stressful process for students, just as covering the cost of college can be for parents. This year, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) submission period opened on October 1 — three months earlier than in previous years. That extra time to get financial information in order could be a big benefit to many families. Don’t put off completing the application, sending the FAFSA in early could increase your financial aid package and give you more time to compare aid offers from different schools. The FAFSA determines your family’s expected contribution to the cost of higher education and serves as an application for federal financial aid, such as student loans, work-study and the Pell Grant. It’s also used by some state agencies and schools to determine aid, including merit-based awards, and some scholarships require applicants fill out the FAFSA. Current and prospective college students must complete a new FAFSA each year. Dependent children will need their parents’ financial information to complete the form, and parents may want to work on the application alongside their child. Most students complete the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. While it can be complicated, once you have all the paperwork in order, the application could take less than 30 minutes. New changes in tax requirements make filling out the FAFSA easier. The earlier submission period isn’t the only difference for the FAFSA this year, there’s also a change in the tax information you need to submit. You’ll now report your income based on the student’s and parents’ tax return from two years before the school term begins. Your 2015 tax return for the 2017-2018 FAFSA for example. You might be able to electronically transfer your tax return information to your FAFSA using the Internal Revenue Service’s Data Retrieval Tool. If you’re unable or don’t want to use the tool and don’t have a copy of your 2015 tax return, you can order a free tax transcript of your return online, by mail or by calling 1-800-908-9946. The 2017-2018 FAFSA requires that applicants use their 2015 tax return information even if there have been significant changes in your financial situation since then. After submitting, applicants can contact schools’ financial aid offices to make adjustments. Pay close attention when filling out the FAFSA because some of the questions, such as those pertaining to current assets, are based

Kramer Principal Katherine Wanserski Eska, Kramer Garden Coordinator Cathy Southwick, Former Kramer Principal Johnlyn Mitchell (Garden rededicated to her). demonstrate how gardens increase test scores and positively impact student behavior. For example, one study conducted among 800 students in 4th and 8th grades in a low-income area of Louisiana, students who learned many of their lessons in math, science, reading and social studies by integrating a school garden into the curricula increased their test scores by 15 percent in reading, 20 percent in math, and 15 percent in social studies. The garden also provides a way for students to reconnect back to nature and the environment. Working in the garden provides valuable lessons in ecology and gives the students firsthand experiences learning about the food web, water cycle, nutrient cycles and more. This strong foundation helps students understand agriculture’s impact on our environment and ways we can lessen our ecological footprint. Learning about fertilizers and pesticides, students may explore more sustainable methods to achieve plant growth such as utilizing compost, using biological controls for insects and maintaining high nutrient levels in soil. A school garden can have a positive effect on environmental awareness, test scores, behavior and students’
eating habits. Kids are more interested in eating fruits and vegetables after being exposed to school garden on a regular basis. How do we make this happen at every school in DISD? Southwick answered this question pulling from experience - you need your administrator’s support. Southwick spoke of ensuring the principal earmark budget money every year for garden support. Southwick may work “part-time” but her investment in the garden and students is well over part-time. Having a dedicated garden coordinator on staff allows her the position to write grants, organize volunteers and bring the community together to rally behind the “pride of their school.” Don’t you want a school garden for your kids like Kramer or other successful school gardens like Lakewood, or Stonewall Jackson have? Visit realschoolgardens.org to learn more about the benefits of school gardens and grants to apply for, and start planting the seed with your principal.

Mull It Over
Record year for the Cubbies By David Mullen November has been a stunning month so far, and that is not just a reference directed toward the 2016 presidential election. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time since 1908. In March, I predicted that the Cubs would win the World Series by beating the Texas Rangers. Well, at least I was half right.

hen Scrooge awoke, it was so dark, that, looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the transparent window from the opaque walls of his chamber, until suddenly the church clock tolled a deep, dull, hollow, melancholy ONE. Light flashed up in the room upon the instant, and the curtains of his bed were drawn aside by a strange figure, — like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions. Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. It held a branch of fresh green holly in its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm. “Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?” “I am!” “Who and what are you?” “I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.”
“Long past?” “No. Your past. The things that you will see with me are shadows of the things that have been; they will have no consciousness of us.” Scrooge then made bold to inquire what business brought him there. “Your welfare. Rise, and walk with me!” It would have been in vain for Scrooge to plead that the weather and the hour were not adapted to pedestrian purposes; that bed was warm, and the thermometer a long way below freezing; that he was clad but lightly in his slippers, dressing-gown, and nightcap; and that he had a cold upon him at that time. The grasp, though gentle as a woman's hand, was not to be resisted. He rose; but finding that the Spirit made towards the window, clasped its robe in supplication. “I am a mortal, and liable to fall.” “Bear but a touch of my hand there,” said the Spirit, laying it upon his heart, “and you shall be upheld in more than this!” As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall, and stood in the busy thoroughfares of a city. It was made plain enough by the dressing of the shops that here, too, it was Christmas time. The Ghost stopped at a certain warehouse door, and asked Scrooge if he knew it. “Know it! Was I apprenticed here!” They went in. At sight of an old gentleman in a Welsh wig, sitting behind such a high desk that, if he had been two inches taller, he must have knocked his head against the ceiling, Scrooge cried in great excitement: “Why, it's old Fezziwig! Bless his heart, it's Fezziwig, alive again!” Old Fezziwig laid down his pen, and looked up at the clock, which pointed to the hour of seven. He rubbed his hands; adjusted his capacious waistcoat; laughed all over himself, from his shoes to his organ of benevolence; and called out in a comfortable, oily, rich, fat, jovial voice: “Yo ho, there! Ebenezer! Dick!” A living and moving picture of Scrooge's former self, a young man, came briskly in, accompanied by his fellow-prentice. “Dick Wilkins, to be sure!” said Scrooge to the Ghost. “My old fellowprentice, bless me, yes. There he is. He
was very much attached to me, was Dick. Poor Dick! Dear, dear!” “Yo ho, my boys!” said Fezziwig. “No more work to-night. Christmas eve, Dick. Christmas, Ebenezer! Let's have the shutters up, before a man can say Jack Robinson! Clear away, my lads, and let's have lots of room here!” Clear away! There was nothing they wouldn't have cleared away, or couldn't have cleared away, with old Fezziwig looking on. It was done in a minute. Every movable was packed off, as if it were dismissed from public life forevermore; the floor was swept and watered, the lamps were trimmed, fuel was heaped upon the fire; and the warehouse was as snug and warm and dry and bright a ball-room as you would desire to see upon a winter's night. In came a fiddler with a musicbook, and went up to the lofty desk, and made an orchestra of it, and tuned like fifty stomach-aches. In came Mrs. Fezziwig, one vast substantial smile. In came the three Miss Fezziwigs, beaming and lovable. In came the six young followers whose hearts they broke. In came all the young men and women employed in the business. In came the housemaid, with her cousin the baker. In came the cook, with her brother's particular friend the milkman. In they all came one after another; some shyly, some boldly, some gracefully, some awkwardly, some pushing, some pulling; in they all came, anyhow and everyhow. Away they all went, twenty couple at once; hands half round and back again the other way; down the middle and up again; round and round in various stages of affectionate grouping; old top couple always turning up in the wrong place; new top couple starting off again, as soon as they got there; all top couples at last, and not a bottom one to help them. When this result was brought about, old Fezziwig, clapping his hands to stop the dance, cried out, “Well done!” and the fiddler plunged his hot face into a pot of porter especially provided for that purpose. There were more dances, and there were forfeits, and more dances, and there was cake, and there was negus, and there was a great piece of Cold Roast, and there was a great piece of Cold Boiled, and there were mince-pies, and plenty of beer. But the great effect of the evening came after the Roast and

MOVIE TRAILER
Stylish ‘Arrival’ lands at a great time By Chic DiCiccio Director Denis Villeneuve’s “Arrival” couldn’t hit theaters at a more apropos time. Current events have ripped apart the fabric of basic human decency and this awe-inspiring tale of optimism, unity and togetherness could actually be a teaching moment for thousands of people all over the Earth. “Arrival” also happens to be a masterpiece. Yes, it’s being sold as a science fiction movie, but it is so much more than that. This is a movie that uses the arrival of alien life on Earth to summon up every logical human emotion possible on a scale that is barely describable. The movie begins with linguist professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) recapping a family trauma that seems to explain her solitude. When 12 massive alien spaceships appear in different locations all over earth, Louise continues to go about her life as if all she has is her daily routine, even sitting in her college office alone while her campus is devoid of people. Villeneuve and screenwriter Eric Heisserer smartly introduce the arrival through the eyes of Louise, only showing grainy cable news footage while building anticipation for the big reveal. U.S. Army Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker) heads up the U.S. government’s team investigating the alien ship hovering over rural Montana, and he recruits Louise in the hope that she can help translate the new arrival’s

Amy Adams stars as Louise Banks in “Arrival.” alien language that consists of whale-like moans and grunts. This team of smart people includes mathematician Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), who hopes to learn just how and why the aliens have visited earth. The U.S. team sets up shop in remote Montana, and when Louise and Ian arrive, the reveal of the entire spacecraft is breathtaking. The first meeting with the aliens will keep everyone on the edge of their seats. It’s simultaneously frightening and exhilarating and Villeneuve takes his time, forcing you to take it all in just as Louise and Ian do. “Arrival” smartly examines the geopolitical strife that naturally occurs all over the world. Just as the U.S. government has, multiple foreign lands set up teams that
then communicate what they have gleaned from our guests in hopes of understanding their intentions. Naturally, this breaks down and puts the earth on the cusp of global war. The only thing that can potentially stop catastrophe is learning. Louise painstakingly works on deciphering an alien language that consists of oddly shaped circles, which manage to appear menacing and peaceful all at the same time. It’s difficult to go into detail as to what happens next because the final hour is as captivating as a movie can possibly be. Confusing dreams pop up for Louise and she becomes engrossed in a mystery whose answers are so poignant and bittersweet that ruining them for any viewer is a disservice. It’s going to be kicked around a lot, but calling this a directorial effort anything short of creative genius is an understatement. Villeneuve has made a movie that can only be placed on the mantle beside films from people named Kubrick, Scorsese or Spielberg. The effects are nothing short of spectacular, and every image captured by cinematographer Bradford Young is a beauty
“It isn't that,” said Scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter self, — “it isn't that, Spirit. He has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count 'em up: what then? The happiness he gives is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.” He felt the Spirit's glance, and stopped. “What is the matter?” “Nothing particular.” “Something, I think?” “No, no. I should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. That's all.” “My time grows short,” observed the Spirit. “Quick!” This was not addressed to Scrooge, or to any one whom he could see, but it produced an immediate effect. For again he saw himself. He was older now; a
Boiled, when the fiddler struck up “Sir Roger de Coverley.” Then old Fezziwig stood out to dance with Mrs. Fezziwig. Top couple, too; with a good stiff piece of work cut out for them; three or four and twenty pair of partners; people who were not to be trifled with; people who would dance, and had no notion of walking. But if they had been twice as many, — four times, — old Fezziwig would have been a match for them and so would Mrs. Fezziwig. As to her, she was worthy to be his partner in every sense of the term. A positive light appeared to issue from Fezziwig's calves. They shone in every part of the dance. You couldn't have predicted, at any given time, what would become of 'em next. And when old Fezziwig and Mrs. Fezziwig had gone all through the dance, — advance and retire, turn your partner, bow and courtesy, corkscrew, thread the needle, and back again to your place, — Fezziwig “cut,” — cut so deftly, that he appeared to wink with his legs. When the clock struck eleven this domestic ball broke up. Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig took their stations, one on either side the door, and, shaking hands with every person individually as he or she went out, wished him or her a Merry Christmas. When everybody had retired but the two 'prentices, they did the same to them; and thus the cheerful voices died away, and the lads were left to their beds which were under a counter in the back shop. “A small matter,” said the Ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude. He has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money, -three or four perhaps. Is that so much Scrooge struggles with the Ghost of Christmas Past. that he deserves this praise?”
to behold. There are some people that believe purpose is the driving force in human nature. Louise, a downtrodden, lost soul, gains purpose from the aliens, and Amy Adams contributes a tour de force performance with awe-inspiring grace and skill. Adams creates a character so moved, so changed, so filled with a desire to learn that you’ll cheer for her and, when the time comes, weep for her. Never mind Best Actor or Best Actress. Amy Adams has transcended those silly titles in “Arrival.” This performance will be entered into the pantheon of the finest in film history. Yes, “Arrival” will require tissues. The finale comes out of nowhere and delivers an emotional impact that no viewer should expect from a movie about an alien landing. “Arrival” is a movie about communication, and about how simply understanding and working through our differences can lead to prosperity. It may seem heavy handed, but this is the right movie at the right time, and if you engulf yourself in it, you will walk out not only entertained, but enlightened.
man in the prime of life. He was not alone, but sat by the side of a fair young girl in a black dress, in whose eyes there were tears. “It matters little,” she said softly to Scrooge's former self. “To you, very little. Another idol has displaced me; and if it can comfort you in time to come, as I would have tried to do, I have no just cause to grieve.” “What Idol has displaced you?” “A golden one. You fear the world too much. I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master-passion, Gain, engrosses you Have I not?” “What then? Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then? I am not changed towards you. Have I ever sought release from our engagement?” “In words, no. Never.” “In what, then?” “In a changed nature; in an altered spirit; in another atmosphere of life; another Hope as its great end. If you were free to-day, to-morrow, yesterday, can even I believe that you would choose a dowerless girl; or, choosing her, do I not know that your repentance and regret would surely follow? I do; and I release you. With a full heart, for the love of him you once were.” “Spirit! remove me from this place.” “I told you these were shadows of the things that have been,” said the Ghost. “That they are what they are, do not blame me!” “Remove me!” Scrooge exclaimed. “I cannot bear it! Leave me! Take me back. Haunt me no longer!” As he struggled with the Spirit he was conscious of being exhausted, and overcome by an irresistible drowsiness; and, further, of being in his own bedroom. He had barely time to reel to bed before he sank into a heavy sleep. Continues next week with Part 4

The coming week will present numerous situations from which individuals can learn a great deal about themselves, their surroundings and the world at large — and many of those lessons are likely to come at what seem like inopportune times. The question, however, is not one of timing, but of readiness. Even if something unexpected does occur, the fact is that many may actually be prepared for it in ways that are unseen or unsuspected — and those are the ones who will benefit most from such events. Indeed, those who are able to look back at the week and say, “I was ready for that,” will do so proudly, knowing that in spite of all the uncertainty in life, careful planning is seldom futile! Above all else, indicators tell a story wherein strength of character will lead to victory. In some cases, nature will seem to have conspired against many hapless individuals who have put themselves at some kind of disadvantage, as all manner of otherwise routine phenomena threaten to throw everything out of whack. It is most important that personal loss be avoided: That which is highly valued must be protected at all costs! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) It's a good week to commune with friends who claim to understand what you've been going through recently. A new idea has you excited. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You
may react unfavorably to the fact that you seem to have no choice in a certain matter, but a loved one keeps you on an even keel. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You're in no mood for trivialities. You know there are important issues to address, and that's where your head is. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may be feeling precisely what a friend or loved one is feeling. Together, you can deal with almost anything that comes along. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You'll be reintroduced to a major issue from your past, but it seems to be much more manageable than it was before. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Someone close to you may doubt that you're really prepared for what's coming, but you've been working hard to set things up in just the right way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You'll want to keep a record of what transpires, if only because you won't want to forget what you were able to accomplish. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – A close friend is willing to go back in time with you to address an issue that has returned to haunt you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may be wondering what more is required of you after taking the few steps that were unavoidable. What's coming up?
(March 6-March 20) – Keep your eyes and ears open, and you'll be able to anticipate events that may take others by surprise. This gives you an advantage. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You will come to a new understanding of your own nature after someone close to you shows you a younger version of yourself. (April 5-April 19) – You may not know how something is going to pan out, but if you keep moving forward, you'll make steady progress in any event. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) There's no time like the present! Get started as soon as you can on a project that may well bring you precisely what you most want. (May 6-May 20) – The time has come for you to consider an option that would have been impossible not too long ago. It may be your only way out. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You must take care that a difference in personal style doesn't come between you and a friend. It's not worth a lasting conflict! (June 7-June 20) – You feel as though you are ready for anything, but what actually comes is likely to challenge you in a wholly unexpected way. CANCER (June 21-July 7) Your attempt to understand what someone else is going

house and they knew we’d honor both the home and the land.” And that’s exactly what they did. A fouryear, meticulous renovation began, helmed by another renowned architect, Frank Welch. He ensured the renovations and updates enhanced the home without detracting from the character with creature comforts like air conditioning and heating added. Ford and Swank built the 5,500-square-foot home with ventilation in mind and created two exposures in every room, so there was no existing central air or heat. The home was cooled with attic fans and heated by seven fireplaces, hand crafted by Ford's brother Lynn. Each fireplace has a story. The living room surround was designed after a bracelet Mrs. Bromberg loved, and the dining room fireplace was created to match her Wedgewood china pattern. Another fireplace was a team effort by University of North Texas students. “Ford offered UNT art students a prize to design panels that his brother Lynn could craft for the fireplaces,” Patterson said. “They picked

Frankly, we don’t know how they do it. Heading into their 40th year, the organizers of the Lakewood Home Tour Candace Evans always find proud homeowners willing to share their gorgeous and often architecturally significant houses with the public. In doing so they have raised millions of dollars since 1976, all benefitting local schools. This year, six homes ranging from brand new builds to historic architectural icons are on the annual tour that takes place this weekend. We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at one of those icons, 3201 Wendover Road. By the way, we’ll be giving away two pairs of tickets to this year’s Lakewood Home Festival Tour later this week on CandysDirt.com, which may be your best reason yet for subscribing and reading us every single day.

But everyone longs an outdoor dining area and creating a family gallery and breakfast area. The result is so seamless — you would never guess the room was not part of the original home. Staying true to the home's heritage in the kitchen was a challenge. The blue tile was chipped and damaged from years of use. A trip to DalTile to have custom tile made resulted in an astonishing bit of luck. “They called us after we’d left and said they’d found a matching tile from the 1960s in their warehouse and we could have it all.” Look at that blue and white — I melt!

Stuff the turkey, not your dining room

Everything from A to Zeke
By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com The holidays are back; after Halloween, they sort of hit like dominoes. During this time of year, almost every single room in the house is equally important. Having enough bathrooms and bedrooms for guests, a comfortable living room for entertaining, a spacious and functional kitchen and lastly, a dining room where everyone can gather to inhale substantial amounts of food — these are vital for tradition and memory-making. Though each are made equally, I’d like to focus on the dining room. I think dining rooms may be getting a little neglected right now, as families are more likely to eat in front of the TV or at the bar in the kitchen. I’d like us to reconsider this for upcoming festivities: instead of indulging in our screen addiction, let’s indulge in our food obsession (together). The topic of dining rooms calls for personal preferences. Are you likely to get seconds or thirds on Thanksgiving? If so, you might think about keeping the dining room and kitchen connected openly for easy transitioning. Meaning, no doors; instead, you might have an open entryway where you can see right into the kitchen to plan your next plate. Don’t get me wrong; I still like to have separate spaces, but you can have it both ways. Simply divide up the rooms by a strong accent molding, and as I’ve mentioned many times in the past, get creative with doorways, archways and framing. This is a dining room; it can be formal, informal, charming or contemporary. It will be where memories are made, so be sure to make each detail stand out in your reminiscences. Another way to divide the connected spaces is to paint the kitchen or other connecting rooms different colors, whether it be a bold red vs. brown or a subtle beige vs. brown. You could even go a step further and put classy wainscoting just in the dining room, which will set it apart. It all comes down to your taste (get it?). If you do prefer separate spaces with a door in between, have fun with the door you choose. Do you like glass French doors? Saloon doors? Or something wooden on a track? Space is important no matter what. The dining room needs to be big enough to incorporate a buffet of some kind for easy food access, especially if you’re closing off the

Stephan Sardone there’s food, it’s smart to go with a hard-surfaced floor, like hardwood or tile; just add an area rug for warmth. As for lighting, a dramatic fixture is a good choice as a focal point over the table, especially to cast a lovely glow for candid family photos. I love natural lighting too, so if you’ve got windows in the dining room, dress them up and keep the curtains open, especially if the scenery calls for it. The most important thing to remember is how this remodel will improve your family-holiday experience. Convenience and functionality is first, then style naturally follows.

Restaurant Review
Sugarbacon Proper Kitchen now open By Sara Newberry I don’t think anyone dreamed that Dixie House in Lakewood Village would ever go away. Open in that location for nearly 40 years, patrons mourned the loss of a neighborhood institution. It seems, though, that they have dried their tears and moved on, judging by the crowds at Sugarbacon Proper Kitchen, which opened in the space a few weeks ago. The space has been completely renovated, removing all traces of the former tenant and replacing it with what could be described as “rustic modern” decor. Gone are the perpetually slightly sticky booths and faux beadboard half-walls; in their place are fixtures made from plumbing pipe and a sleek granite-topped bar. The kitchen is still churning out “comfort food,” but instead of the giant servings of chicken and dumplings or meatloaf you’d find in the space’s previous incarnation, you’ll find plates featuring ingredients such as scallops, Berkshire pork and Wagyu beef. First things first, though: the Sugarbacon. It’s smoked and cured pork belly, topped with an ancho BBQ sauce and resting on a toast round. One bite reveals a bread and butter pickle that nicely balances out the overly sweet BBQ sauce. The pork belly is not as unctuous as I’ve come to expect from that cut of pork — no inch-wide layer of delicious crispy fat here — it made for a less intense starter (and left me more room for dessert at the end of the meal). Another starter option is the Spinach-Artichoke Dip. It’s a pretty standard version, loaded with cheese and served with grilled toast points. Piquillo peppers add a little zip and color. I enjoyed it, but it’s not anything I’d make a special trip for. The Flatiron Salad, however, could

Think eggnog with a spoon By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Time to start thinking holiday recipes. Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House offers this dessert as a holiday special. Think eggnog with a spoon. When served at the restaurants, individual portions of baked custard are served in cute Mason jars. Whipped cream, raspberries, ground cardamom and a mint sprig garnish each. Small ramekins will do just as well. Garnish as you desire.

Fill dish with warm water half way up the sides of the dishes or jars. Cover pan tightly with foil. Poke two small holes into foil at opposite ends of baking dish to vent the steam. Carefully transfer baking dish to preheated oven. Bake custards for 50 minutes or until the custards are set. Centers should jiggle slightly. Remove baking dish from oven. Place custard dishes on a sheet pan and cool to room temperature. Cover each individually with plastic film and refrigerate until well-chilled. Garnish as desired just before serving. For Del Frisco’s style presentation: Dollop each custard cup with whipped cream. Top with raspberry. Dust with a sprinkle of ground cardamom. Finish with a mint sprig. Makes 5 servings

FAFSA cont'd from page 2 on when you fill out the form, not your tax return. Submitting your application early offers several advantages. The federal deadline for the 2017-2018 FAFSA is June 30, 2018, but don’t wait that long to complete your application. States and colleges have deadlines of their own, and your eligibility for aid can depend on meeting these deadlines. Some states and schools also distribute aid on a first come, first served basis. Submitting your application early can help ensure you’ll receive the aid you’re eligible for before the funds run out. Prospective students who submit the FAFSA early might receive estimated financial aid offers from schools earlier as a result. This gives families more time to compare the offers before making the big decision on which school to attend.

You can list up to 10 schools on the FAFSA, including schools you’re considering but haven’t applied to yet. Submitting your info holds your place in line for aid, and you can switch out schools later if you want. You’ll also receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) after submitting the FAFSA that you can send to additional schools. Many states require that you send your FAFSA to at least one in-state school to be eligible for state grants, and some states require you list a state school in the first or second position to be eligible. The Department of Education has a list of each state’s requirements. Bottom line: the FAFSA’s submission period opens up three months earlier than in previous years. Sending your FAFSA in early could increase your eligibility for financial aid and give you more time to compare aid offers from schools.

a negotiator I said he would have to sweeten the pot. When he countered with seven dollars per night and all the beer we could drink, we accepted the gig.” The Big Beats were the first rock & roll band to sign with Columbia Records. They were recognized as one of the most popular groups of their time, touring with such superstars as Buddy Holly and The Crickets, Richie Valens, Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson and Bobby Darin. On July 16, 1958, the Big Beats appeared on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, where one number they played was “Clarks’ Expedition,” named for the legendary host. Paul Anka and Johnny Hartman were featured on the same show. The band was invited back several times. About an unfortunate, but memorable night, C.W. said: “We were playing the same venue that Buddy [Holly] was booked to play on a snowy night. We had planned to wait for them to come in — Buddy, the Big Bopper and Richie [Valens], but we decided we shouldn’t because of the snow, and we didn’t want to miss our next show in St. Louis. I left a note for Buddy telling him we wanted to wait but couldn’t any longer. As we were pulling into St. Louis it came over the radio that they had died in that plane crash — we were all devastated.” “We developed into a good show band. We appeared in 42 states and 27 countries,” the musician said. The Big Beats were discovered playing on Bourbon St. in New Orleans by Pete Fountain and Al Hirt, who arranged for them to play in Las Vegas, and then they toured to Reno and Tahoe and Vegas. After playing at the Thunderbird Hotel in Vegas, the owner asked them to stay, and they performed there for five years. In 1967 they played on a cruise ship, dry docked in Kodiak, Alaska due to a typhoon. The cruise line had made the ship into a hotel, restaurant and night club, where the Big Beats were booked for six months. After a couple of weeks, Kendall brought over his wife, four kids, a dog and a turtle. After playing in a Fort Worth nightclub, Kendall built 13 clubs in Houston, San Antonio and other states. The music pro founded Ken Ran Entertainment with classmate Larry Randall.
learning is the most important thing I could teach them. We often start the day by singing, ‘Zippity Do Da, Zippity Ay/My, oh my, what a wonderful day.’” But that’s only where the music begins. “I often use music to help my students learn concepts that are usually taught by rote memory," she said. In fact, she sometimes composes the songs themselves. One, which explains the definition of a noun, is set to the tune of the rousing “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Right now, Sally reported, she’s helping her fourth-grade writing students on a project that she has called their magnum opus, their “great work,” referring back to the children’s classic, ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ tying together their reading and their writing. After teaching for 20 years, Sally has taught the younger brothers and sisters of past students, and she now finds herself teaching their children. “Many of them keep up with me on Facebook,” Sally said. “And when some of them return to our school for L ake High lan ds ’ #1 ch o ice various events, it’s like a family fo r ke e pin g yo u r car o r t r u c k reunion.” For Sally, who resides i n t o p c o n d i t i on . on a leafy street near White 9660 Audelia Rd. at Walnut Hill 214.340.8300 Rock Lake and is herself the mother of a teacher, that
The agency is billed as “A Certified Talent and Entertainment Professional Company.” Throughout its 50-year history, Kendall has been honored with the Texas Star Award for Best Entertainment Productions; Texas Meeting and Events for Best Entertainment and other recognitions. In a few months Kendall will travel to England to be inducted into the Buddy Holly Hall of Fame. Ken Ran Entertainment has an extensive, impressive client list of hundreds, including talent like Earth, Wind & Fire, Jerry Jeff Walker and Tanya Tucker. This is the short list. Columbia Records booked the band to tour Chicago to Seattle and everything in between, where they made appearances on parades, radio and other gigs. “When we played a concert in a city close to Canada, 2,000 people turned out. Once someone in the audience asked if we could play some Rolling Stones. I told them, ‘No, we don’t play anything that new,’” quipped Slocumb. “My son, Brooks, runs the company now and I write the checks,” Kendall explained. “Now we play at parties, concerts, weddings and a lot of corporate events. We played at several locations at the Fair. Today, we do anything people will pay us to play,” Kendall wisecracked. Pocket Sandwich Theater is one of the Big Beats’ frequented venues. Their next gig at Pocket is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. For more information, visit kenran.com. Keep up with the Woodrow Wilson Class of ‘56 on Facebook. Kendall added: “Woodrow is lucky to have Barbara Adamson, who planned this event as a fellow alum. She is always the first to volunteer for any of the alumni needs, especially the class of ‘56. We couldn’t do anything without her.”
sense of family extends beyond the classroom. Several years ago, she learned of a student with four brothers and no beds to sleep on — the five children sleeping on the floor. With the help of a teacher assistant, Sally found a small church in South Dallas that donated two sets of twin beds for the family. She rented a U-haul truck and transported the beds on Christmas Eve, along with all the necessary bedding and Christmas presents, purchased by Sally. “It wasn’t a burden,” Sally said. “It’s what needed to be done. It’s in giving that we receive. That’s one of my favorite lines from a song I was taught at church.” Past students often refer to Sally as their favorite teacher. She has kept dozens of notes from them and from their parents throughout the years. “I love these children,” Sally added. “They get me up in the morning with a song in my heart.”
