Lincoln proclaims Bullying an issue, even at the North Pole Thanksgiving holiday By Shari Goldstein Stern The story of Thanksgiving usually starts with the threeday celebration of harvest by the Pilgrims and Native Americans in the fall of 1621 in the Plymouth colony of Massachusetts. It was not a holiday; it was a gathering. George Washington issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation in Abraham Lincoln and his son Tad. 1789 at the close of the Revolutionary War, and other Presidents also declared special days for Thanksgiving.

On Sunday, Oct. 23, a group of tree lovers gathered to celebrate the Celebration Tree Grove’s 10th anniversary at White Rock Lake. The Celebration Tree Grove was founded in 2006 under the umbrella of For the Love of the Lake. Its main purpose is to reforest and protect the trees at White Rock Lake Park. Tree lovers donate funds to purchase a plaque to honor, remember or celebrate friends, relatives, pets, groups or businesses. Plaques are placed on the monument in the Celebration Tree Grove.

Donations fund planting and maintaining the trees in White Rock Lake Park so future generations can enjoy their shade, beauty and the positive environmental impact trees have on our Earth.

The tree grove is not only dependent on donated funds, but also needs volunteers to help plant trees and maintain the grove.

To donate your time or money to help the trees at White Rock Lake Park and honor, celebrate, or remember someone, visit the For the Love of the Lake website at WhiteRockLake.org and visit the Celebration Tree Grove tab. — Mike Schmitt

My golden retriever Laredo had impeccable taste.

One Christmas he unwrapped and devoured an entire box of Neiman Marcus chocolates, ignoring the less-expensive candy next to it. Panicking, I immediately called my vet, who reassured me that my 80-pound dog wasn’t in mortal danger. A smaller dog may not have been so lucky.

Holiday foods, plants and decorations can be dangerous for your pets, so it’s wise to take precautions to keep them safe this holiday season.

Toxic Substances Several common holiday plants and foods are poisonous to pets, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, kidney failure or even death. Dr. Ken Tudor

asserts that your cat or dog would have to eat a LOT of most of these substance to get into serious troubles.

However, do you really want to spend your holidays worrying about Fluffy or Fido’s health — or making a costly trip to the emergency vet on Thanksgiving Day? Better safe than sorry!

Toxic Plants • Holly. If consumed in large quantities, holly berries can cause gastrointestinal irritation and depression of the central nervous system.

• European mistletoe is quite toxic to pets. American mistletoe is only mildly toxic, so be sure you’re buying the right kind. And hang mistletoe high enough to be out of your pet’s reach.

• Lilies in flower bouquets

Holiday treats for humans can pose serious hazards to pets. (tiger, Asiatic, stargazer, day and Easter lilies are most dangerous). All parts of true lilies are toxic to cats. Eating only 1–2 leaves or petals — or even the pollen — can cause acute, severe kidney failure in cats. Fortunately, dogs only experience mild stomach upset if they eat lilies.

• Paperwhite narcissus (paperwhites) • Potpourri • Marijuana Toxic Foods Several holiday treats can be toxic to your pets if eaten in large enough quantities: Fattening, rich meat

Letter from the Editor

The most wonderful time of the year

By Nancy Black My mother made the most beautiful bows for presents. She had a huge box tucked away in her closet full of gorgeous, cloth spools of ribbon in Nancy Black every shape, color and size. The presents under our Christmas trees always looked like the professionals at Neiman Marcus wrapped them. That didn’t stop us from excitedly ripping into them on Christmas morning, though.

This will be our first Thanksgiving, and Christmas, without my mother. She died in the evening on September 15 just three hours shy of her 93rd birthday. She lived a great, full life, and I am so thankful she was my mother. I know my siblings feel the same way.

This Thanksgiving, we’ll celebrate as a family but without our matriarch. We’ll give thanks for all we have. And we’ll start new traditions, never forgetting the rich past we all share.

Speaking (writing) of new traditions, this edition of White Rock Lake Weekly contains our first ever Shop Local Saturday pull out section. Tucked between Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday the following Monday, we present Shop Local Saturday. The idea is not original to us.

The first similar event — known as Small Business Saturday — originated Safety cont'd from page 1 scraps (turkey or ham) can cause pancreatitis, resulting in severe vomiting, diarrhea, malaise and stomach pain.

Some dog breeds — miniature Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers, and Shetland Sheepdogs — are particularly susceptible to pancreatitis, so fatty meats are strictly off limits for them.

Alcohol. When consumed by pets, alcohol can cause a harmful drop in blood sugar, blood pressure and body temperature, possibly leading to seizures and respiratory failure. No, it’s not cute to let your dog sip your spiked eggnog.

Chocolate. The cacoa bean, from which chocolate is made, contains theobromine, a stimulant similar to caffeine. A theobromine overdose causes rapid heart rate and cardiovascular collapse.

Fortunately, this reaction is very unlikely to happen from eating holiday chocolates.

in Roslindale, Mass. in 2010. American Express along with the non-profit National Trust For Historic Preservation sponsored it.

Shop Local Saturday is a great day to spend your money at independent, local businesses rather than going to the big box retailers or chain stores. As we know, the most effective way to support neighborhood businesses is to go and spend money at them rather than somewhere else. And you can also encourage your friends to do the same.

Would you rather spend a day fighting the crowds at Toys “R” Us, or would you rather spend your Saturday browsing around the new HobbyTown USA location at Mockingbird and Skillman?

Would you rather eat hamburgers from McDonald’s or a homemade deli sandwich from Parkit Market? Would you rather buy off-the-rack, mass produced clothes from Burlington or unique, one-of-a-kind outfits from Echo Boutique?

Don’t get me wrong. I sometimes go to Toys “R” Us, eat at McDonald’s, and have bought clothes at big box stores. But it is so much more satisfying to keep my money local, explore the community and get to know other small business owners in the neighborhood.

That’s another thing my mother taught me — love thy neighbor.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Most holiday chocolates aren’t made with pure cacao or baking chocolate, the most concentrated forms of theobromine. Baking chocolate is bitter-tasting, so it’s diluted with milk, sugar and other ingredients to make milk chocolate. The darker and more bitter the chocolate, the more dangerous it is to your pet.

Dark chocolate, baker’s chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate contain more theobromine and are about four times as toxic as milk chocolate.

Your dog would have to eat a fairly large quantity of milk chocolate to suffer adverse effects. A 20-lb. dog could eat 1/4 lb. of milk chocolate and a 50-lb dog could eat a pound of milk chocolate and suffer only moderate toxicity—resulting in diarrhea and severe vomiting but not death.

Check out the PetMD “Chocolate Toxicity Meter” (petmd.com) to see how much danger your pet is in after eating chocolate.

Call the Pet Poison Hotline

(855-213-6680) or your vet right away if you know your dog has eaten chocolate or shows any of these symptoms: • Vomiting • Diarrhea • Increased body temperature • Muscle rigidity • Rapid breathing • Increased heart rate • Low blood pressure • Seizures • Advanced signs (cardiac failure, weakness and coma) The other ingredients in chocolate-covered treats can also be dangerous to pets. The caffeine in espresso beans can be fatal to pets.

Macadamia nuts can cause temporary paralysis, and raisins can result in acute kidney failure. Don’t place boxes of these goodies under the tree, and keep them well out of your pet’s reach.

Intestinal Blockage These holiday decorations and other items can block your cat or dog’s intestines if they’re eaten: Tinsel may be the most

by William "Bubba" Flint - Special Contributor

Change cont'd from page 1 Convention of Texas, has threatened to cut ties with the Dallas congregation. Their views are aligned with the Southern Baptist Convention, which states, “homosexual behavior is a sin.” But each Baptist church is autonomous. Separating from the state convention affects mission work, not ministry. And Wilshire will not lose the Baptist name.

“Because of the position we have now taken, they don’t want to receive our money for the hunger offering. I think it is astonishing to think the Baptist General Convention of Texas would turn away our direct contribution of hunger offering money because they disagree with us on the inclusion of persons who identify in the LGBT community,” Wingfield said.

Mason ended his email with words of solidarity to help the church move beyond the news of the day.

“Unity, harmony, healing — these are good words to guide us in the days ahead. #OneWilshire is the hashtag I keep repeating to myself. Let’s make that more than a virtual reality,” he wrote. “We can begin by showing up next Sunday for worship, a Sunday of Thanksgiving for all of God’s blessings to us. And we are so very blessed to share this beloved community with one another.” dangerous holiday decoration for pets. Eating just a few strands of tinsel can block a dog or cat’s intestines.

Skip this sparkly stuff if you have pets, or place it only on the higher, inaccessible tree branches.

Strings, ribbons, and other gift wrapping paraphernalia The string around your turkey or ham is particularly enticing to pets because of its delectable meaty smell.

Put the string in your outside trash can if your pet goes garbage can diving.

Burns or Electric Shock Candles and fireplaces Place burning candles on high shelves or mantels, far away from wagging tails. Use a fireplace screen to protect your curious pets from accidental burns.

Avoid these preservatives or, if you must use them, cover the tree water bowl with a tree skirt, towel, aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

Bottom line: keep your pets out of the room with the Christmas tree, unless they are supervised.

By keeping these hazards away from your pets, you and your pets can relax and enjoy the holiday festivities.

Christmas Trees Christmas trees pose several dangers to your pets.

Your dog may jump up on the tree, or your cat may climb it, knocking the tree over, breaking ornaments and possibly injuring themselves in the process. Flocking (aka imitation snow) can be toxic if eaten. If they’re ingested, pine needles can puncture your pets’ intestines.

Mull It Over

Gobble up the worst of the worst

By David Mullen In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving season, we present our annual “Turkey of the Year Awards.” This year’s nominees could fill a buffet table for a family of 50 And I had to leave out the sweet potato casserole and the fried onion-topped green beans.

LEBRON JAMES. You are on top of the world.

You led your hometown team to the NBA championship. But you think, when 71-year-old basketball legend Phil Jackson associates you with a “posse,” he is racist? Please stop. Posse goes back to at least the 1800s as a group of lawmen. Posse became part of the modern lexicon as a group of people that followed you. Mark Wahlberg had a posse that led to the successful franchise “Entourage.” Heck, Justin Bieber had a posse. You travel with a posse. Deal with it.

SKIP BAYLESS. One of sport’s biggest turkeys, Bayless – who made his name in the Dallas market — actually pulled our turkey leg this summer when he left ESPN to sign a $5 million-a-year contract with Fox Sports. He is the most condescending broadcast personality in sports.

HBO. The network cancelled “Wednesday Nights with Bill Simmons” without giving it a chance. It started to get some traction toward the end, but never found a niche. Not to mention that Simmons faced competitive obstacles like the first presidential debate and Game 7 of the Chicago Cubs versus Cleveland Indians World Series. Simmons is still under contract, so here is hoping he will go back to his strength of producing riveting documentaries like he did at ESPN. COLIN KAEPERNICK. OK, he has the protected right to kneel during the national anthem as a protest to American policies. But then when he didn’t vote in the election last week, he doesn’t count anymore.

NFL RECEIVERS. They must have their own private union. NFL wide receivers have an incredible self-worth, and are they first ones to pout if they don’t get the ball. And there is a legacy from Terrell Owens to Keyshawn Johnson (author of Just Give Me the Damn Ball) to Chad “Johnson” Ocho Cinco that is being carried on by Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham, Jr. and others. You are part of a team. Be a team player, thank your teammates and hand the damn ball to the referee after you score.

WASHINGTON NATIONALS. Stop teasing everyone by acting like you are the best team in baseball. You aren’t. Win something.

TIGER WOODS. He forgot his irrelevance in today’s professional golf game when he tried to pose with the victorious USA Ryder Cup team for a team picture only to be told the picture was for players only, not for former players acting as an assistant

captain.

MARK DAVIS. He continues to disabuse the loyal Oakland (where he grew up) Raiders football fans that sell out every game while playing in an inferior stadium by telling the world that he is moving the club to Las Vegas. He has a $750 million pledge by the state of Nevada to build a new stadium, but not approval of the NFL owners. With all of the issues the NFL already have, going to the land of gambling, drugs and hookers is a good move?

Good luck. It is not going to happen. And Davis, get a decent haircut.

ANYTHING FIFA. The soccer organization takes bribes from countries and their organizations to award the rights to them to host the World Cup. One member has already caved in to the allegations and many more are to follow. FIFA has been described as the sports Mafia. The 2018 World Cup will be in Russia. The 2022 World Cup will be in Qatar, a place where they had never even heard of soccer in a place the world has never heard of.

MOST ANYTHING IOC. See everything FIFA. JOSH BROWN. Kicker admits to domestic abuse despite the NFL’s best efforts to prevent it. And he is not the only one that will be busted this season.

The system is broken.

NFL REFEREES. They are old, slow, part-time employees that are generally incompetent. Please NFL, hire full-time employees (including rehiring some of the good ones) and, as I beg every year, take them from the returning military that need jobs and are infinitely qualified to become full-time NFL officials.

TURKEY OF THE YEAR: THE BAYLOR UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL PROGRAM. University officials, with their beautiful new football stadium, solid alumni support and winning program, had total disregard for human decency.

Allegedly, head football coach Art Briles, university president Ken Starr, athletic director Ian McCaw and others were aware of sexual assaults committed by football players and failed to do anything about it. No words can describe the indecency. One hopes that this is not a topic of conversation at the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Dallas ISD Trustee Dan Micciche, District 3 The key to student achievement If I asked you to identify the key to student achievement, what would you tell me?

Teachers who are skilled at connecting with students by making academics come alive in the classroom; innovative principals who provide Dan Micciche the leadership that teachers and students need to excel; or engaged parents, business leaders and community volunteers who get it and understand the role they play in supporting schools and students? I think each of us would agree that it takes all of these and a lot more.

Certainly, the top school districts in the nation have all of these components at work every day, and I am convinced that Dallas ISD is moving in that direction. Yes, there is still a lot of work ahead, but we are on an exciting journey that has been accentuated by a year of increased educational options for students.

Discover Dallas ISD Those incredible options will be showcased at the first-ever Discover Dallas ISD Fair, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 3. Students and parents will get a firsthand look at the programs that are available.

Teachers and principals from every school in the district — all 228 — will be there to talk with prospective students and their parents to share the great opportunities at their schools.

I encourage you to come out and discover Dallas ISD. Learn about the growing twoway dual language and early learning programs, the expanding collegiate academies, single-gender, magnet and STEM/STEAM schools, and many more.

The Discover Dallas ISD Fair takes place at two locations that are right across the street from each other: Ellis Davis Field House, 9191 S. Polk St., will host the elementary school level and D.A. Hulcy STEAM Middle School, 9339 S. Polk St., will host the middle and high schools.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see what innovative programs Dallas ISD has to offer.

Other news in District 3: Congratulations to the campus Teachers of the Year:

Ashley Albro, Bryan Adams High School; Becky Brown (district finalist), Emmett Conrad High School; Darlene Carroll, Gaston Middle School; Tequila Butler, Robert T.

Congratulations to John David du Mars, Emmett J. Conrad High School; Shelly Thibodaux, Robert T. Hill Middle School; and Kent Benson, Robert E. Lee Elementary (from nearby District 2).

Bryan Adams CREW team takes second Kudos to the Bryan Adams CREW team which placed second in the Career Real Estate Women’s mock development competition. The program is designed to introduce girls to the field of commercial real estate development.

Students advance to MLK Oratory semifinals Students Alexandro Hernandez at Reinhardt Elementary and Ka’Nise Lewis at L.L. Hotchkiss Elementary both advanced to the semifinal round of the MLK Jr. Oratory Competition. They will compete for a spot in the finals in December. Congratulations and best wishes.

CROOGE awoke in his bedroom.

There was no doubt about that. But it and his own adjoining sitting-room, into which he shuffled in his slippers, attracted by a great light there, had undergone a surprising transformation. The walls and ceiling were so hung with living green, that it looked a perfect grove. The leaves of holly, mistletoe, and ivy reflected back the light, as if many little mirrors had been scattered there; and such a mighty blaze went roaring up the chimney, as that petrifaction of a hearth had never known in Scrooge's time, or Marley's, or for many and many a winter season gone. Heaped upon the floor, to form a kind of throne, were turkeys, geese, game, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, barrels of oysters, red-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense twelfthcakes, and great bowls of punch. In easy state upon this couch there sat a Giant glorious to see; who bore a glowing torch, in shape not unlike Plenty's horn, and who raised it high to shed its light on Scrooge, as he came peeping round the door.

“Come in, — come in! and know me better, man! I am the Ghost of Christmas Present. Look upon me! You have never seen the like of me before!”

“Never.”

“Have never walked forth with the younger members of my family; meaning (for I am very young) my elder brothers born in these late years?” pursued the

Phantom.

“I don't think I have, I am afraid I have not. Have you had many brothers, Spirit?”

“More than eighteen hundred.”

“A tremendous family to provide for!

Spirit, conduct me where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson which is working now. To-night, if you have ought to teach me, let me profit by it.”

“Touch my robe!”

Scrooge did as he was told, and held it fast.

The room and its contents all vanished instantly, and they stood in the city streets upon a snowy Christmas morning.

Scrooge and the Ghost passed on, invisible, straight to Scrooge's clerk's; and on the threshold of the door the Spirit smiled, and stopped to bless Bob Cratchit's dwelling with the sprinklings of his torch. Think of that! Bob had but fifteen “Bob” a week himself; he pocketed on Saturdays but fifteen copies of his Christian name; and yet the Ghost of Christmas Present blessed his fourroomed house!

Then up rose Mrs. Cratchit, Cratchit's wife, dressed out but poorly in a twiceturned gown, brave in ribbons, which are cheap and make a goodly show for sixpence; and she laid the cloth, assisted by Belinda Cratchit, second of her daughters, also brave in ribbons; while Master Peter Cratchit plunged a fork into the saucepan of potatoes, and, getting the corners of his monstrous shirt-collar (Bob's private property, conferred upon his son and heir in honor of the day) into his mouth, rejoiced to find himself so gallantly attired, and yearned to show his linen in the fashionable Park. And now two smaller Cratchits, boy and girl came tearing in, screaming that outside the baker's they had smelt the goose, and known it for their own; and, basking in luxurious thoughts of sage and onion, these young Cratchits danced about the table, and exalted Master Peter Cratchit to the skies, while he (not proud, although his collars nearly choked him) blew the fire, until the slow potatoes, bubbling up, knocked loudly at the saucepan-lid to be let out and peeled.

“What has ever got your precious father then?” said Mrs. Cratchit. “And your brother Tiny Tim! And Martha warn't as late last Christmas day by half an hour!”

“Here's Martha, mother!” said a girl, appearing as she spoke.

“Here's Martha, mother!” cried the two young Cratchits. “Hurrah! There's such a goose, Martha!”

“Why, bless your heart alive, my dear,

how late you are!” said Mrs. Cratchit, kissing her a dozen times, and taking off her shawl and bonnet for her.

“We'd a deal of work to finish up last night,” replied the girl, “and had to clear away this morning, mother!”

“Well! Never mind so long as you are come,” said Mrs. Cratchit. “Sit ye down before the fire, my dear, and have a warm, Lord bless ye!”

“No, no! There's father coming,” cried the two young Cratchits, who were everywhere at once. “Hide, Martha, hide!”

So Martha hid herself, and in came little Bob, the father, with at least three feet of comforter, exclusive of the fringe, hanging down before him; and his threadbare clothes darned up and brushed, to look seasonable; and Tiny Tim upon his shoulder. Alas for Tiny Tim, he bore a little crutch, and had his limbs supported by an iron frame!

“Why, where's our Martha?” cried Bob Cratchit, looking round.

“Not coming,” said Mrs. Cratchit.

“Not coming!” said Bob, with a sudden declension in his high spirits; for he had been Tim's blood-horse all the way from church, and had come home rampant, — “not coming upon Christmas day!”

Martha didn't like to see him disappointed, if it were only in joke; so she came out prematurely from behind the closet door, and ran into his arms, while the two young Cratchits hustled Tiny Tim, and bore him off to the wash-house that he might hear the pudding singing in the copper.

“And how did little Tim behave?” asked Mrs. Cratchit, when she had rallied Bob on his credulity, and Bob had hugged his daughter to his heart's content.

“As good as gold,” said Bob, “and better. Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember, upon Christmas day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.”

Bob's voice was tremulous when he told them this, and trembled more when he said that Tiny Tim was growing strong and hearty.

His active little crutch was heard upon the floor, and back came Tiny Tim before another word was spoken, escorted by his brother and sister to his stool beside the fire; and while Bob, turning up his cuffs, — as if, poor fellow, they were capable of being made

MOVIE TRAILER

Tom Ford’s ‘Nocturnal Animals’ worth wait

By Chic DiCiccio In director/writer Tom Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals,” a character advises another who is aspiring to be an author to “stop writing about himself.” He replies by saying that everyone writes about themselves and it’s clear after about 15 minutes of this movie that Ford has done exactly that.

Ford’s script (very loosely based on the 1993 Austin Wright novel, Tony and Susan) examines three separate narratives. The first is the life of Susan Morrow (Amy Adams), a soulless and vapid Los Angeles art gallery owner whose world is filling in for Ford’s fashion design reality.

Susan’s second marriage to Hutton (Armie Hammer) is failing for several reasons, among them being that they are broke and living a faux high society lifestyle.

Susan strolls through her current life like a zombie, merely mildly fazed by her husband’s obvious lack of interest in her and more concerned with her appearance to other socialites. She begins to reevaluate after receiving an advance copy of Nocturnal Animals, a novel written by her estranged ex-husband, Edward Sheffield (Jake Gyllenhaal).

As Susan reads, we are shown Edward’s dark and violent novel about the tragedy surrounding Tony Hastings (also Jake Gyllenhaal) and his wife and daughter (Isla Fisher and Ellie Bamber). The series of events, which are led by the psychopathic Ray (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), are not for the squeamish and are steeped with unflinching brutality.

Needless to say, the novel shakes Susan to her core and she begins to think CAROL cont'd from page 4 more shabby, — compounded some hot mixture in a jug with gin and lemons, and stirred it round and round and put it on the hob to simmer, Master Peter and the two ubiquitous young Cratchits went to fetch the goose, with which they soon returned in high procession.

Mrs. Cratchit made the gravy (ready beforehand in a little saucepan) hissing hot; Master Peter mashed the potatoes with incredible vigor; Miss Belinda sweetened up the apple-sauce; Martha dusted the hot plates; Bob took Tiny Tim beside him in a tiny corner at the table; the two young Cratchits set chairs for everybody, not forgetting themselves, and mounting guard upon their posts, crammed spoons into their mouths, lest they should shriek for goose before their turn came to be helped.

At last the dishes were set on, and grace was said. It was succeeded by a breathless pause, as Mrs. Cratchit, looking slowly all along the carving-knife, prepared to plunge it in the breast; but when she did, and when the long-expected gush of stuffing issued forth, one murmur of delight arose all round the board, and even Tiny Tim, excited by the two young Cratchits, beat on the table with the handle of his knife, and feebly cried, Hurrah!

There never was such a goose. Bob said he didn't believe there ever was such a goose cooked. Its tenderness and flavor, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration.

Eked out by apple-sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family; indeed, as Mrs. Cratchit said with great delight (surveying one small atom of a bone upon the dish), they hadn't ate it all at last!

Yet every one had had enough, and the youngest Cratchits in particular were steeped in sage and onion to the eyebrows! But now, the plates being changed by Miss Belinda, Mrs. Cratchit left the room alone, — too nervous to bear witnesses, — to take the pudding up, and bring it in.

Suppose it should not be done enough! Suppose it should break in turning out! Suppose somebody should have got over the wall of the back yard, and stolen it, while they were merry with the goose, — a supposition at which the two young Cratchits became livid! All sorts of horrors were supposed.

Hallo! A great deal of steam! The pudding was out of the copper. A smell like a

Amy Adams in ”Nocturnal Animals.” back to moments in her past that led to her current state and potentially inspired Edward’s writing. Her thoughts are shown as flashbacks to a time when she wasn’t the soulless person she is today.

These three narratives are seamlessly edited together and each one has merit, particularly once Detective Bobby Andres (Michael Shannon) shows up in the “novel storyline” to help Tony track down the offenders responsible for his family’s ill-fated night.

As one would expect, Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals” is gorgeous. He and cinematographer Seamus McGarvey treat each storyline differently and effectively have created three movies in one. The dark blues and greens highlight the loneliness of Susan’s current world while the sundrenched yellows simultaneously show the beauty and desolate nature of west Texas.

Ford’s ambitious screenplay allows every actor to show how talented they can be. In a scene stealing performance, TaylorJohnson’s Ray is terrifying. He portrays this lunatic with so much reserve and

washing-day! That was the cloth.

A smell like an eating-house and a pastry-cook's next door to each other with a laundress's next door to that! That was the pudding! In half a minute Mrs. Cratchit entered, — flushed but smiling proudly, — with the pudding, like a speckled cannon-ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half of half a quartern of ignited brandy, and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top.

O, a wonderful pudding!

Bob Cratchit said, and calmly too, that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by Mrs. Cratchit since their marriage.

Mrs. Cratchit said that now the weight was off her mind, she would confess she had had her doubts about the quantity of flour. Everybody had something to say about it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a small pudding for a large family. Any Cratchit would have blushed to hint at such a thing.

At last the dinner was all done, the cloth was cleared, the hearth swept, and the fire made up. The compound in the jug being tasted, and considered perfect, apples and oranges were put upon the table, and a shovelful of chestnuts on the fire.

Then all the Cratchit family drew round the hearth, in what Bob Cratchit called a circle, and at Bob Cratchit's elbow stood the family display of glass, — two tumblers, and a custard-cup without a handle.

These held the hot stuff from the jug, however, as well as golden goblets would have done; and Bob served it out with beaming looks, while the chestnuts on the fire sputtered and crackled noisily. Then Bob proposed: — “A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!”

Which all the family reechoed.

“God bless us every one!” said Tiny Tim, the last of all.

He sat very close to his father's side, upon his little stool.

Bob held his withered little hand in his, as if he loved the child, and wished to keep him by his side, and dreaded that he might be taken from him.

Scrooge raised his head speedily, on hearing his own name.

“Mr. Scrooge,” said Bob; “I'll give you Mr. Scrooge, the Founder of the Feast!”

“The Founder of the Feast indeed!” cried Mrs. Cratchit, reddening. “I wish I had him here I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon and I hope

calmness that it only adds to the terror.

Shannon’s Detective Andres is much like Ray, only without the sociopathic tendencies. He is also quite menacing with the only difference being his sense of justice. If there is a problem with “Nocturnal Animals,” it’s going to be the battle between Shannon and Taylor-Johnson of who comes out of it with Best Supporting Actor nominations.

Gyllenhaal carries a massive load in “Nocturnal Animals” and each role is similar. His Tony clearly becomes everything that Edward wishes he could be, and his transformation only becomes clear once the movie ends. Gyllenhaal and Shannon both face the same “problem:” they are so good every time out that their respective bars are set so high that their greatness is sometimes overlooked.

If “Arrival” doesn’t do it, “Nocturnal Animals” will get Adams her much deserved Best Actress Oscar. Adams’ Susan is the villain in her portion of this threepronged tale, and she shows regret and sadness while feeling trapped in a world she created. It could be argued that she is also playing two roles, with one being her current, cynical self and the other, a longforgotten kind and thoughtful person.

It has taken Tom Ford seven years for his follow up to “A Single Man” and it is worth the wait. “Nocturnal Animals” is as ambitious as a movie can get and could easily have fallen right on its face. Instead, Ford has created a noir that has somehow combined a drama about marriage with “Straw Dogs” via allegory. This kind of creativity is truly rare and proves that Ford is one of the finest filmmakers working today.

he'd have a good appetite for it.”

“My dear,” said Bob, “the children! Christmas day.”

“It should be Christmas day, I am sure,” said she, “on which one drinks the health of such a odious, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge.

You know he is, Robert! Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow!”

“My dear,” was Bob's mild answer, “Christmas day.”

“I'll drink his health for your sake and the day's,” said Mrs. Cratchit, “not for his. Long life to him! A merry Christmas and a happy New Year! He'll be very merry and very happy, I have no doubt!”

The children drank the toast after her. It was the first of their proceedings which had no heartiness in it. Tiny Tim drank it last of all, but he didn't care twopence for it. Scrooge was the ogre of the family. The mention of his name cast a dark shadow on the party, which was not dispelled for full five minutes.

After it had passed away, they were ten times merrier than before, from the mere relief of Scrooge the Baleful being done with. Bob Cratchit told them how he had a situation in his eye for Master Peter, which would bring in, if obtained, full five and sixpence weekly.

The two young Cratchits laughed tremendously at the idea of Peter's being a man of business; and Peter himself looked thoughtfully at the fire from between his collars, as if he

were deliberating what particular investments he should favor when he came into the receipt of that bewildering income.

Martha, who was a poor apprentice at a milliner's, then told them what kind of work she had to do, and how many hours she worked at a stretch, and how she meant to lie abed to-morrow morning for a good long rest; to-morrow being a holiday she passed at home.

Also how she had seen a countess and a lord some days before, and how the lord “was much about as tall as Peter;” at which Peter pulled up his collars so high that you couldn't have seen his head if you had been there. All this time the chestnuts and the jug went round and round; and by and by they had a song, about a lost child travelling in the snow, from Tiny Tim, who had a plaintive little voice, and sang it very well indeed.

There was nothing of high mark in this. They were not a handsome family; they were not well dressed; their shoes were far from being water proof; their clothes were scanty; and Peter might have known, and very likely did, the inside of a pawnbroker's. But they were happy, grateful, pleased with one another, and contented with the time; and when they faded, and looked happier yet in the bright sprinklings of the Spirit's torch at parting, Scrooge had his eye upon them, and especially on Tiny Tim, until the last.

Celebrate ‘Shop Local Saturday’ November 26 It’s a popular new American tradition: after Thanksgiving (Nov. 24) and between the sales on Black Friday (Nov. 25) and Cyber Monday (Nov. 28) comes Shop Local Saturday — Nov. 26. This is the day that we set aside every year to celebrate the independent, local businesses that are the backbone of our community.

When we shop local in East Dallas, we get great products and services.

Owners of local businesses often know their customers personally and are especially attuned to meet local needs.

We also support our neighbors and help strengthen the economy of the White Rock Lake area.

A study by Economic Impact showed that for every $100 consumers spend at a local business, $68 remains in the local economy. At a chain store, however, only $43 remains in the local economy.

Independent, local businesses also typically generate up to 80 percent of new jobs.

Shop Local Saturday helps to encourage everyone to be customers at local businesses — to buy holiday gifts from neighborhood stores, dine at

local restaurants and so on.

The first similar event — known as Small Business Saturday — originated in Roslindale, Mass. in 2010. It was sponsored by American Express along with the nonprofit National Trust For Historic Preservation.

You have the option to spend your money at independent, local businesses on this day rather than going to the big box retailers or chain stores. As we know, the most effective way to support neighborhood businesses is to go and spend money at them rather than somewhere else. And you can also encourage your friends to do the same.

Here are the wonderful local businesses who are participating with White Rock Lake Weekly in this year’s Shop Local Saturday:

LINCOLN cont'd from page 1 Hale, wrote to Lincoln and urged him to have the “day of our annual Thanksgiving made and fixed Union Festival.” On October 8, 1863, Lincoln established the holiday as a national annual event, occurring on the last Thursday of November. The first observance of the new national holiday came one week after the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery at Gettysburg. In 1941, Congress made it a legal holiday and set it as the fourth Thursday in November.

Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and provoke their aggressions, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected

and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conf lict; while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.

No human counsel hath devised, nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the most high God, who while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign

There is likely to be a personal component to the week's activities that is sure to raise the stakes for many. Distance will play a part: Some will want to be closer than they are to loved ones, while others may find it necessary to be farther apart for reasons both practical and personal. There is no single right answer!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may have to take some steps that you've already taken, but now there's bureaucratic red tape to cut through. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – The rules you are

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) A technical component to what you are attempting may complicate matters; you could benefit from the help of an expert.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You are eager to see things settle down a bit, either at home or in the workplace — and each affects the other in its own way.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be seeking contentment in the wrong place or in the wrong way. You can adjust your thinking and come out feeling very good, indeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) The earlier you get started on a major project, the sooner you'll be able to assess the likelihood of success. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – An idea needn't be entirely new for you to get excited about it. Even the most routine notion can lead to something fulfilling.

lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stated States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixtythree, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

Your Stars this Week The coming week will require many individuals to prepare for what's in store in ways that are different from the norm, as many activities and endeavors will demand a heightened sense of responsibility, great stamina and the ability to handle more than one emergency at a time. Working closely with the calendar will prove quite important throughout the week.

Adjustments will have to be made on the fly, but these cannot be effective without a sense of confidence where scheduling is concerned. It will be wise to bring to bear a comprehensive understanding of how every little thing affects everything else. A change here will bring about change there, and vice versa! One cannot expect events to transpire exactly according to the original plan, even though the original goals can and must be met!

to insist on something more.

(March 6-March 20) – Others may claim that you are working in a random, irresponsible fashion, but there is surely a method to your madness!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You don't want others to know what you are up to until you start raking in the rewards, but you mustn't be purposely deceitful.

(April 5-April 19) – A great deal rests on your shoulders, but it's nothing that you cannot bear with grace and style.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You must keep accurate records of all you do, including what you purchase and how much you spend. You may be asked to explain at some point. (May 6-May 20) – The powers that be seem to be working against each other; perhaps this is your opportunity to assume more control.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may be unusually resistant to appeals for fairness. It's not what's being sought, but who seeks it that bothers you. (June 7-June 20) – Two very different motives are competing for dominance. You must decide which one you stand for and will support.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may find yourself facing a

Copyright 2016 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. major challenge, but you're prepared to defend yourself in any likely forum. (July 8-July 22) – How you say something is likely to be more important than what you say. Throughout the week, your critics will be studying your demeanor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may realize as the week begins that someone has dropped the ball, but further examination proves that you are also somewhat to blame. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may find yourself on the outside looking in; how do you become more directly involved in matters that affect you and yours?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) There are some who have your back, surely, but your critics may speak with a much louder voice for a time. Be ready for anything! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You may want to make the first move toward reconciling with someone with whom you've been on the outs for quite some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You don't want to engage in a "he said, she said" conflict.

Make sure that your encounter is based on substantive facts!

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You have a decision to make, but timing and inconsistent circumstances may make this more difficult than usual.

Theater cont'd from page 1 The actor/musician has the boyish, clean cut good looks of someone much younger than he is. In fact, in his head shot he appears to be about 12. “I still play high school characters,” he revealed.

He’s developed skills in acting and singing, but he is also passionate about the music he writes and performs with his 80s pop rock band, the Knights of Audio.

Currently living in Hollywood, Calif., the actor says what he misses most about Texas is being close to his family and the food. He said, “I miss the Tex-Mex. California does MexiCali, but it is nowhere near as good as Tex-Mex. They don’t know what queso is in California.”

dotty's True Texas Cuisine

Flora Street Café ready to flourish

By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Chef Stephan Pyles is the ultimate culinary shape shifter.

A dean of the chef community here and nationally, he can change the look, feel, objectives and themes of his restaurants seamlessly and with purpose. The nouveau Pyles venue, Flora Street Café, recalls the minimalist opulence of his first grand venture, Routh Street Café, circa 1983, while incorporating elements of his new Texas cuisine and expertise with Latin and Mediterranean flavors.

Flora Street is “of the moment” and perhaps ahead of its time.

In an era where many restaurants have concentrated on fancy comfort food riffs and casual settings, Pyles has opened a food art “theater,” very in sync with its location in the HALL Arts development across from the Meyerson Symphony Center. Dining at Flora Street makes you a character in a grand performance. The main players are Pyles, chef de cuisine Peter Barlow and pastry chef Ricardo “Ricchi” Sanchez.

Together with the chorus of wait staff and chefs, the Flora Street performers create a rich gustatory experience.

Whether you sit in the dining room or at the chef’s bar, service is finely tuned and wellorchestrated. At table, expect your food to be placed simultaneously by servers who stand behind each chair until the captain gives a subtle signal.

At the chef’s bar, you may observe chefs in the open kitchen arranging tiny flower petal garnishes with long medical tweezers, eyes at food level.

You sit as close to the work as at a sushi bar while chefs

assemble starters and desserts intense as portrait artists. With sure hands, chefs deftly pick through a tangle in Dotty Griffith search of the right sprig of micro green.

Watch them look for the perfect placement for a bumpy blackberry or a fine sprinkle of black sesame.

When chefs fine-chop shallots, you may hear a muted click-click-click on the board beneath the blade; the motion so fast it is almost invisible.

Catch the aroma and listen to the sizzle from the fire pit as meat caramelizes. Scents waft gently, enticing but not overwhelming. Think of this as an olfactory appetizer.

And, of course, you may ask questions and chat up the chefs. Wait for the right moment. The one you want to engage may be in deep concentration creating a mini pyramid with bright orange salmon roe. So you wait to speak until he or she looks up and lets a sigh of relief at the intricate accomplishment.

With all this food play and action, the plates that are put before you are magnificent to behold, with layers of flavor to be enjoyed in combination or element by element. Ingredients are luxuriant and curated. The dishes are imaginative and fashioned to be edible works of art.

That won’t stop you from eating but here you eat longer with your eyes than at any restaurant I can remember. Flora Street is a food porn paradise. Few diners pick up a fork without first snapping a shot with cell phones.

One such dish is Lobster

Recipe of the Week

Turkey and Brie Flatbreads

Photo by Sara Newberry

3 pita breads, each split into 2 rounds Olive oil 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced 3 teaspoons honey mustard 1 1/2 pounds cooked turkey breast, sliced (about 3 cups) 1/4 pound Brie, cut into 1/2-inch pieces Heat the broiler. Brush the cut side of each pita round with olive oil. Top with a single layer of apple slices. Broil until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with honey mustard, then top with turkey and Brie. Return to the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Cut into wedges and serve.

Lobster Tamale Pie — Wild Paddlefish Caviar, Ancho Glass.

Tamale Pie, a prime example of what Pyles calls “elevated Texas cuisine.” An example of his ability to build on his legacy by adding a new chapter, this incarnation is a very dressed up version of the tamale tart he pioneered at Routh Street Café all those years ago during the era of southwestern cuisine. To take one of his southwestern signatures to a new level, Pyles deploys his mastery of molecular cooking techniques to crown it with “ancho glass.”

Served in oversize margarita stemware, the “tamale pie” is as luscious to look at as to dig into. The base is “tamale” of chile-flavored nixtamal, i.e. tamale dough much like polenta.

A layer of sweet corn custard makes a soft landing for butterpoached Maine lobster, pickled corn and paddlefish caviar. All this is hidden under a delicate isomalt circle — think of a thin layer of sugar glass — decorated with more beads of black caviar, pink flower petals and micro greens. After you’ve soaked all this in with your eyes and savored the aroma, shatter the “ancho glass” surface, reveling in the sound and playful action.

Spoon down deep through the layers to experience the complexity. Or savor individual elements to deconstruct the dish that has quickly become the Flora Street showstopper.

Not surprisingly, a meal at Flora Street Café is pricey.

At times, the ratio of wait and kitchen staff to diners seems almost one-to-one. Though the service is formal, the Flora Street atmosphere doesn’t require a coat and tie. Male diners look appropriate with an open collar. Skinny jeans and spiky heels work well for women. Or you can get as dressed up as the space, the performance and the food. Flora Street is open for both lunch and dinner.

What you wear is less important to your enjoyment of Flora Street Café than a willingness to experience the setting and the food with all your senses. Here you must eat with your eyes, nose and ears before you touch the food to your mouth and taste. The experience is really quite sensual.

The master is not superfluous; it’s well designed for living, and the money was put into the areas that count with the graceful tub, the oversized shower, and dual master closets loaded with sturdy built-ins. And speaking of duals, there are also dual baths for him and her. Love me some duals.

One of my favorite touches, in fact a trend I am seeing, is the side front door. Indeed, whose Bible says you must always have the front door front and center and facing to the street? This is where you actually do not see the front door from the street.

You walk to the front, veer to the right and there it is, all glass and open. But invisible from the street!

Then, as soon as you walk in, there is that dramatic, floating staircase, a work of art unto itself.

Candy cont'd from page 14 the kitchen is on the western side. The kitchen is a stunner but not an overkill: quartz countertops, high-performance appliances, thoughtfully hidden outlets and dual pantries. There is a large, light-embracing window directly behind the gourmet gas stove — which makes indoor cooking vastly more interesting. There is a builtin banquet breakfast table that keeps the meal in the center of action.

So much storage, the Butler’s pantry is as large as a caterer’s kitchen. The hallway to the garage and mudroom is loaded with cabinet/ cubby storage, and the laundry room is immense. The glass doors fold back to make the outdoor living area fuse with the interiors.
