After 14 years, CTD announces end of an era By Miki Bone After 14 years of producing compelling theatrical performances that have touched the lives of many, the Contemporary Theatre of Dallas (CTD) announced that its current season will be its last. Founded by Artistic Director Sue Loncar, CTD has functioned as a successful performing arts venue serving as the cultural magnet of Lower Greenville Avenue for nearly a decade and a half. Showcasing the work of the area's finest talent is a highlight of CTD's legacy. In fact, supporting area artists has always been a huge part of Loncar's passion, having employed hundreds of local artists from across the Metroplex. “My whole mission for CTD from its inception was to produce plays that I truly felt passionate about, and to employ talented, dedicated actors from DFW and compensate them fairly,” Loncar said. “Lastly, I wanted to create a theatrical experience that really encapsulated our personality. CTD is one of a kind; it's not just a place one goes to see a great show ... it's an evening with friends. Every time you enter our doors, we are genuinely thrilled to see you, and we make sure you know it.” The theatre dates back to the 1930’s when it was originally constructed as a church. Since then, the neighborhood has evolved into a vibrant, iconic, pedestrian friendly community

The Contemporary Theatre of Dallas housed at 5601 Sears St. surrounded by restaurants and bistros. While Loncar feels nostalgic about this decision, she said she is ready for the next chapter in her life to begin with a firm belief that CTD's legacy, and the joy it has brought to so many, will live on by motivating others to pursue their artistic dreams.

Cleveland hits airwaves in ‘A Christmas Carol’ By Shari Goldstein Stern As always, you know you can count on a performance by B.J. Cleveland to be hilariously funny, or moving and poignant, complex or seriously dramatic, and you’re never disappointed. This weekend, Theatre Too (T2) patrons were treated to a reprise of a theatre favorite, “A Christmas Carol: A Radio Show,” and the laughs were rampant as expected from its star, B.J. Cleveland in every role. In this show, he actually pulls off 21 characters in an hour, with no intermission. David Alberts’ one man show is set in a small town in 1947. Radio station manager Bob Bennett learns that the cast and orchestra for the station’s annual presentation of “A Christmas Carol” are snowed in and can’t get
to the studio. Without much choice, he embarks on a performance, rather than cancel the show and leaving the airwaves silent, by playing all 21 characters. Along with the story’s script and its distinctly varied characterizations, Cleveland also manages a cache of sound effect tools including two traditional old xylaphones, glassware, mini-doors, bells, cellophane and other noisy props. Early on the broadcaster explains that there is a live studio audience watching the broadcast, and calls out the “On the Air” and “Applause” marquees. This also allows Cleveland the opportunity to “schmooze” a little with the front row. Cleveland’s portrayal

In Memoriam
Dallas loses a special daughter
Photo courtesy of Contemporary Theatre of Dallas
Grace Loncar.
By Miki Bone When our burdens become too heavy to carry alone, We look to our faith and our friends to help us shoulder the load. Contemporary Theatre of Dallas (CTD) is deeply saddened to announce the death of our beloved Grace Loncar — a talented young actress, singer and theatre artist. We ask that you give the Loncar family privacy at this time. Your prayers are the best source of strength right now. As for Grace’s CTD theatre family, we are devastated — our hearts are incredibly heavy. Grace has appeared onstage in “Working,” “Little Women the Musical” (Amy) and “Love, Loss & What I Wore” at CTD. Her work onstage was tender, fierce and compelling. Behind the scenes, she worked as a terrific assistant stage manager on a handful of productions, and occasionally delivered the nightly pre-show speech. Grace is the youngest daughter of CTD’s Artistic Director Sue Loncar and her husband, attorney Brian Loncar.
Theater cont'd from page 1 of such diverse characters as Bob Cratchit; Jacob Marley; Tiny Tim and the rest are engaging enough to forget they are all one talented actor. According to Cleveland, “I think my favorite character is Bob Cratchit. He is so loving, genuine and good. An eternal optimist in the face of all adversity. His heart is a true measure of how we should all love.” The Ghost of Christmas Future is the actor’s least favorite, “Because he’s mute … ” he said. Since it’s a radio show, Cleveland has the luxury of a script in front of him the entire time. He said he relied on it much less than the first year and the next, and now it feels innate. “This year it totally came back to me. All the characters, who have been dormant for a few months, were just waiting to come back out. We rehearsed on and off for a week before taking a Thanksgiving break and then opening the next night,” the actor said. According to Cleveland, “I lose my place [in the script] quite often. Because the lights are so low, they blind me and I see white spots. I can’t always see the words again when I glance back to the manuscript on the table. Scrooge hems and haws a bit while I try to focus.” It’s those “hems and haws” that endear Cleveland to patrons. With a mere exaggerated sound and rubber facial expression, he has you. Some of Cleveland’s family enjoyed Sunday’s matinee. His sister, CarrieAnn, a theater teacher, and brother-in-law, Loy Jones, brought their children Reid, Macy, Holly and Miles, all of whom say they are so proud of their brother and Uncle B.J.'s accomplishments and talent. His brother Clark couldn’t be

there because he was in rehearsal for “The Wizard of Oz.” Cleveland’s brother Ky was doing “Shakespeare in the Park” in Austin so couldn’t make it either. Apparently, all the Cleveland family has theater running through their blood. Well known as a favorite among Dallas theatergoers, Cleveland cut up in T2’s hit, “Shear Madness.” He was ideal as the emcee in “The Pageant” at Uptown Players (UP), and has multiple credits with UP, including writing and starring in the “Broadway” shows. The Fort Worth native grew up in show business, and has done everything from children’s theater to television, film and professional theatre. He has worked with One Thirty productions as a director on critically acclaimed productions including “Southern Comforts,” “Equally Divided,” “A Christmas Memory” and “Plaid Tidings.” Cleveland first performed this show at the Bath House Cultural Center. The late Jac Alder invited him to do the show at Theatre Three, and this is his second year there. Cleveland suggests to any actor who plays his role in another production to prepare as follows: “Read it as many times as possible. Always double check the placement of your props and sound effect tools. Don’t eat spicy food or carbonated drinks before doing it, and go to the bathroom right before curtain.” “A Christmas Carol: A Radio Show” runs now through Dec. 11 with this performance schedule: Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2:30 p.m. An interpreted performance is Thursday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. For tickets and information, visit bit.ly/2g0ssP6.

Pack cont'd from page 1 out in a crate in a separate room. Crates, when used properly, are safe havens for your dog — not a form of punishment. You can buy large, sturdy crates for about $50 online. For my large dogs, I particularly like the 42”, two-door Life Stages crates made by Midwest Pets. Provide toys (KONGs stuffed with frozen peanut butter or activity toys) so your dog isn’t bored in his crate. If your dog chews her bedding or has accidents in her crate, try a foam bath mat covered by a towel instead of an expensive crate mat. Playing classical music can help calm your stressed-out dog. Let your new dog rest in her crate for three to seven days, depending on how scared or stressed she is when she arrives. Of course, you’ll take her out of the crate regularly for walks and bathroom breaks, play time and snuggle time — without interacting with the other pets in your household. Put your other pets in another room while your new dog is loose in your house or yard. 2. Let your new dog smell your other dogs before she sees them. A dog’s sense of smell is much stronger than ours, and dogs learn a lot about their environment by smelling it. One way to let your dogs smell each other is to put your established dogs outside in the backyard. Then take your new dog into the front yard to potty (on a leash, of course). When she comes inside, let her explore your house. She’ll sniff and roll around on your dogs’ beds and other areas where they hang out. After a few minutes, give her a treat in her crate. By giving her a treat, you’re teaching her that new dog smells are good. Then let your other dogs come back inside, where they’ll explore the scent of the new dog by rolling around. Give these dogs treats too, so they too learn that a new dog smell is a good thing. How long the “smell before see” stage lasts depends on how your dogs react. Pay attention to your dogs’ body language to gauge their reactions. 3. Let your dogs see each other before they touch each other. In this stage, you leave your new dog crated in the separate room, but you open the door and block it with a baby gate. I accomplish this stage by moving my foster dog’s crate into the living room and putting up a barrier so my other dogs can’t go right up to the crate. If you have a see-through fence, bring your new dog around so your dogs can see each other with the fence between them when they go outside for bathroom breaks. It may take up to two weeks to complete steps two and three, depending on your dogs. 4. The next step is the greeting. Dogs prefer to meet each other while moving around, so take your dogs for a long walk together — one dog per person. Put two people between two dogs so there’s space between the dogs: dog-person-person-dog. Keep moving along, and don’t let the dogs stare at each other. Don’t allow the dogs to make eye contact for more than five seconds. Repeat the group walks until your dogs walk together without any negative body language (high tail, tense body, hackles), lunging, growling or snapping. Then you’re ready to let them interact in the yard. Leave leashes on both dogs in case you need to separate them, and have someone with you to help intervene if necessary. Yes, this introduction process takes time and patience. However, by following these steps, you’re setting your new dog and current dogs up to succeed. I hope you’ll consider opening your heart and home to a rescue dog. Our Mission

t was a great surprise to Scrooge, as this scene vanished, to hear a hearty laugh. It was a much greater surprise to Scrooge to recognize it as his own nephew's, and to find himself in a bright, dry, gleaming room, with the Spirit standing smiling by his side, and looking at that same nephew. It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humor. When Scrooge's nephew laughed, Scrooge's niece by marriage laughed as heartily as he. And their assembled friends, being not a bit behindhand, laughed out lustily. "He said that Christmas was a humbug, as I live!" cried Scrooge's nephew. "He believed it too!" "More shame for him, Fred!" said Scrooge's niece, indignantly. Bless those women! they never do anything by halves. They are always in earnest. She was very pretty; exceedingly pretty. With a dimpled, surprisedlooking, capital face; a ripe little mouth that seemed made to be kissed, — as no doubt it was; all kinds of good little dots about her chin, that melted into one another when she laughed; and the
sunniest pair of eyes you ever saw in any little creature's head. Altogether she was what you would have called provoking, but satisfactory, too. O, perfectly satisfactory. "He's a comical old fellow," said Scrooge's nephew, "that's the truth; and not so pleasant as he might be. However, his offences carry their own punishment, and I have nothing to say against him. Who suffers by his ill whims? Himself, always. Here he takes it into his head to dislike us, and he won't come and dine with us. What's the consequence? He don't lose much of a dinner." "Indeed, I think he loses a very good dinner," interrupted Scrooge's niece. Everybody else said the same, and they must be allowed to have been competent judges, because they had just had dinner; and, with the dessert upon the table, were clustered round the fire, by lamplight. "Well, I am very glad to hear it," said Scrooge’s nephew, "because I haven't any great faith in these young housekeepers. What do you say, Topper?" Topper clearly had his eye on one of Scrooge's niece's sisters, for he answered that a bachelor was a wretched outcast, who had no right to express an opinion on the subject. Whereat Scrooges niece's sister — the plump one with the lace tucker; not the one with the roses — blushed. After tea they had some music. For they were a musical family, and knew what they were about, when they sung a Glee or Catch, I can assure you, — especially Topper, who could growl away in the bass like a good one, and never swell the large veins in his forehead, or get red in the face over it. But they didn't devote the whole evening to music. After a while they played at forfeits; for it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child himself: There was first a game at blind-man's-buff though. And I no more believe Topper was really blinded than I believe he had eyes in his boots. Because the way in which he went after that plump sister in the lace tucker was an outrage on the credulity of human nature. Knocking down the fire-irons, tumbling over the, chairs, bumping up against the piano, smothering himself among the
curtains, wherever she went there went he! He always knew where the plump sister was. He wouldn't catch anybody else. If you had fallen up against him, as some of them did, and stood there, he would have made a feint of endeavoring to seize you, which would have been a reply to affront to your understanding, and would instantly have sidled off in the direction of the plump sister. "Here is a new game," said Scrooge. "One half-hour, Spirit, only one!" It was a Game called Yes and No, where Scrooge's nephew had to think of something, and the rest must find out what; he only answering to their questions yes or no, as the case was. The fire of questioning to which he was exposed elicited from him that he was thinking of an animal, a live animal, rather a disagreeable animal, a savage animal, an animal that growled and grunted sometimes, and talked sometimes, and lived in London, and walked about the streets, and wasn't made a show of, and wasn't led by anybody, and didn't live in a menagerie, and was never killed in a market, and was not a horse, or an ass, or a cow, or a bull, or a tiger, or a dog, or a pig, or a cat, or a bear. At every new question put to him, this nephew burst into a fresh roar of laughter; and was so inexpressibly tickled, that he was obliged to get up off the sofa and stamp. At last the plump sister cried out: — "I have found it out! I know what it is, Fred! I know what it is!" "What is it?" cried Fred. "It's your uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!" Which it certainly was. Admiration was the sentiment, though some objected that the reply to "Is it a bear?" ought to have been "Yes." Uncle Scrooge had imperceptibly become so gay and light of heart, that he would have drank to the unconscious company in an inaudible speech. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew; and he and the Spirit were again upon their travels. Much they saw, and far they went, and many homes they visited, but always with a happy end. The Spirit stood beside sick-beds, and they were cheerful; on foreign lands, and they were close at home; by struggling men,

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Manchester by the Sea’ is masterful filmmaking By Chic DiCiccio When Casey Affleck’s Lee Chandler admits that he is beyond repair, “Manchester by the Sea” reaches levels of emotional truths that most movies don’t dare approach. This surly, broken Northeastern man has suffered losses not uncommon, but so tragic that only a fictional character could recuperate from them. Thankfully, director and writer Kenneth Lonergan knows this, and his masterful film treats every character with such realism that you feel that you know these people. These are not humans that suddenly reach down to overcome life’s horrible moments, because in the real world, there are simply some things from which people cannot recover. Exactly what happened to Lee Chandler is one of those things. “Manchester by the Sea” slowly reveals exactly why Lee is living in a dingy Boston basement apartment while slogging through life as a handyman for apartment complexes. His previous life in “Manchester-by-the-Sea” seemed lovely, as shown in flashbacks after we learn that Lee’s brother, Joe (Kyle Chandler), has died of a heart attack. Lee quickly drops what he’s doing (mostly drunken bar fights) and goes back to his hometown to make arrangements for Joe’s funeral. Unbeknownst to him, Joe’s will has named Lee as the legal guardian of his nephew, Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Seeing as how Lee clearly

Casey Affleck stars in “Manchester by the Sea.” wants nothing more than to get out of town as soon as he possibly can, this becomes problematic. The mystery surrounding what drove Lee into hiding only deepens when he hesitantly communicates with his ex-wife, Randi (Michelle Williams). Once “Manchester by the Sea” lays its cards on the table, the results are brutally dark, and the grief is borderline unbearable. Yet somehow, Lonergan’s script and direction never bog down in melodrama. The sadness is there but handled with realism and a shocking amount of laugh-out-loud humor. There is a scene in “Manchester by the Sea” when this movie becomes something more than the masterpiece it already is. It is a masterclass in direction,
CAROL cont'd from page 4 and they were patient in their greater hope; by poverty, and it was rich. In almshouse, hospital, and jail, in misery's every refuge, where vain man in his little brief authority had not made fast the door, and barred the Spirit out, he left his blessing, and taught Scrooge his precepts. It was a long night, if it were only a night; but Scrooge had his doubts of this, because the Christmas Holidays appeared to be condensed into the space of time they passed together. It was strange, too, that while Scrooge remained unaltered in his outward form, the Ghost grew older, clearly older. Scrooge had observed this change, but never spoke of it, until they left a children's Twelfth Night party, when, looking at the Spirit as they stood together in an open place, he noticed that its hair was grey. “Are spirits’ lives so short?” asked Scrooge. “My life upon this globe, is very brief,” replied the Ghost. “It ends to-night.” “To-night!” cried Scrooge. “To-night at midnight. Hark! The time is drawing near.” The chimes were ringing the three quarters past eleven at that moment. “Forgive me if I am not justified in what I ask,” said Scrooge, looking intently at the Spirit's robe, “but I see something strange, and not belonging to yourself, protruding from your skirts. Is it a foot or a claw?” “It might be a claw, for the flesh there is upon it,” was the Spirit's sorrowful reply. “Look here.”
writing and acting that no other movie released this year can or will match. You will know it when you see it, and it evokes more emotion in minutes than most movies can muster in a few hours. Needless to say, awards season will be exceptionally friendly to “Manchester by the Sea” and for good reason. Kenneth Lonergan’s script is a thing of beauty and would have spiraled into predictable sappiness at the hands of a “Hollywood director.” Not only has he created a brilliant slice-of-life film, every shot by him and cinematographer Jody Lee Lipes is a marvel to watch. This movie is so realistic that the bitter cold of a northeast winter seems to fill the theater, and Lonergan’s gorgeous dialogue knows exactly when to warm your heart, either with uplifting emotions or perfectly timed laughter. While much is being made of Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams’ performances, the work of Lucas Hedges should not be overlooked. Hedges’ Patrick isn’t the typical disaffected youth seen in family dramas such as this. Hedges gets to play the popular kid dealing with tragedy and his comedic skills are the driving force keeping this movie
From the foldings of its robe, it brought two children; wretched, abject, frightful, hideous, miserable. They knelt down at its feet, and clung upon the outside of its garment. “Oh, Man! look here. Look, look, down here!” exclaimed the Ghost. They were a boy and girl. Yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish; but prostrate, too, in their humility. Where graceful youth should have filled their features out, and touched them with

There shouldn’t be a dry eye in the house after seeing her place this level of vulnerability on screen. “Manchester by the Sea” would only go as far as Casey Affleck takes it and he embodies Lee Chandler to perfection. His raspy, almost shaky voice conveys the pain that he feels, even when he claims to be okay. Affleck seems to be portraying two different people here, one before great loss, and one after. This is perhaps one of the most restrained, inward performances ever put on film, and Affleck always leaves you wanting to know more about Lee. Kenneth Lonergan has surely given us the best movie of the year. On the outside, “Manchester by the Sea” looks like a bleak twohour sob story. It is actually an uplifting movie about people dealing with grief and, well, life. The saddest moment of “Manchester by the Sea” is when it ends, forcing you to stand and leave these gorgeously crafted characters behind.
out menacing. No change, no degradation, no perversion of humanity, in any grade, through all the mysteries of wonderful creation, has monsters half so horrible and dread. Scrooge started back, appalled. Having them shown to him in this way, he tried to say they were fine children, but the words choked themselves, rather than be parties to a lie of such enormous magnitude. “Spirit! are they yours?” Scrooge could say no more. “They are Man's,” said the Spirit, looking down upon them. “And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!” cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. “Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse! And bide the end!” “Have they no refuge or resource?” cried Scrooge. “Are there no prisons?” said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. “Are there no workhouses?” The bell struck twelve. Scrooge looked about him for the Ghost, and saw it no more. As the last stroke ceased to vibrate, he remembered the prediction of old Jacob Marley, and, lifting up his eyes, beheld a solemn Phantom, draped and hooded, coming like a mist along the ground towards him.

Whether you’re actively looking to make a move or being lured away by a recruiter, a new job offers many opportunities for growth. Discovering how different organizations run and tackling the learning curve during the first few months is part of the fun, and struggle, of making a change. Switching employers can also greatly benefit your financial future. While staying at the same job could lead to a modest annual raise, you might be able to negotiate a much larger jump in pay when changing companies. Negotiating a job offer can be daunting, but consider what happens if you don’t negotiate — you might wind up earning less than a hiring manager was willing to offer. Do your homework to find an appropriate salary range before negotiating. Whether you are a veteran or a novice negotiator, you may want to spend time researching before sitting down at the table. Keeping in mind that compensation can vary depending on location, look online for studies
or personal accounts that reveal the salaries of someone in a similar role. Several for-profit companies compile and share compensation information online, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics has pay data based on occupation and geography. You could also reach out to recruiters who focus on placing candidates in your industry, as they’re accustomed to discussing compensation. The more data on your profession’s compensation you can get the better, because you want to be able to make a fact-based request. Ask for too much, and you risk being seen as unreasonable or out of touch. Ask for too little, and that might be all you get. Job seekers often get stuck on who says a number first. While advice ranges, one thing is for certain — you don’t necessarily want to use your previous salary as a starting point. Especially if your research reveals you’re below the current market rate, you want your next offer to reflect the experience and talent you bring to the table. If you’re being pressed to
respond first, answer with the salary range you’re aiming for during your job hunt. Don’t get stuck on money — keep the big picture in mind. It can be easy to fixate on the cash portion of your compensation when negotiating, but sometimes there isn’t any wiggle room in the budget. Look at the big picture of your potential pay and benefits. Perhaps a lower-than-desired cash offer is offset by a generous retirement contribution matching program, great healthcare benefits, stock incentives or bonus opportunities. When the total compensation doesn’t meet your expectations, try to think outside the box and give the hiring manager alternative options. You could request additional paid time off, the freedom to work from home one day a week or a professional development stipend. After all, flexibility and personal growth can be more valuable than money. At smaller companies, you could ask for a quarterly lunch with an executive in your department or your direct supervisor. A lunch won’t cost
Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week will see many things go through reversals of sorts, both expected and unexpected, requiring individuals to do their best to maintain balance under swiftly changing circumstances. It's not so much that no one knows this is happening; in most cases, in fact, it will be crystal clear! Instead, it's that the necessary response to these events may not be clear at all. It cannot be based on past experience since much of what goes on will be new and previously unseen, unheard and untried. All must be ready to move swiftly when called upon to do so, and all must adopt a more nimble stance in order to go this way or that at a moment's notice. Mobility and agility will surely count for much. The emotional stakes are likely to be higher by week's end than they were at the start, with many being on the verge of commitments that they had no thought of making in the recent past. Again, this is all part of things moving swiftly — for many, they'll move swiftly in unimagined, quite surprising directions! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) A rival is pressing you for some secret information. Are you willing to give up something in one area to gain in another? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You'll want to avoid obvious distractions as you get started. Later on, you'll
be prepared to deal with those that are more surprising. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You can sidestep a certain complication as you move toward a major personal goal. Someone close to you has advice. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Your ability to see where the dangers lie will certainly come in handy for you and those near you. Keep those eyes and ears open! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You'll want to coordinate your travel very carefully; see if you can't consolidate and get things done in fewer trips. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – A loved one is waiting for you to come through as promised. Not only can you come through, but you can offer a very nice surprise as well! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may be able to catch up on your sleep, but take care that you don't overdo it and sap your energy by getting too much rest! (March 6-March 20) – You're in need of a little counseling from someone who has been in your shoes in the past. He or she knows just what you need to hear. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may be called upon to help out in a way that only you can, but this may result in personal expenses that you cannot afford. (April 5-April 19) – It's important
that you get as much work as possible completed early in the week. Later on, you'll be facing certain other issues that will demand much attention. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Your concerns about an older family member are surely valid, but he or she is not likely to change because of anything you say. Be patient! (May 6-May 20) – You know perfectly well what someone wants from you, but you're not about to give in and provide it just because it's "in the air." GEMINI (May 21-June 6) The practicalities of a certain project may elude you for a time, but the ideological aspects are sure to be apparent. (June 7-June 20) – You may want to begin preparing for a journey a full two or three weeks early. There is much that you have yet to nail down. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can capitalize on one of your errors before the week is out, sending the competition scrambling for a new way to best you. (July 8-July 22) – You may have trouble keeping up with a loved one who is simply more nimble when it comes to thinking about things in a certain way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be struck by the similarities between yourself and

the company much money, but it could give you insight into the company’s future, let you know which skills to focus on developing and strengthen your personal relationship with higher ups. Back up your request with valid reasons. Aim to reinforce each of your negotiation requests with a valid, relatable and quantifiable reason. When asking for more money, point to experience or skills that distinguish you from other candidates. Less traditional requests, such as meetings with an executive, could be justified by your dedication to self-improvement and desire to stay in touch with the company’s needs. Bottom line. While changing jobs and negotiating an offer can be a challenge, moving to a new company could accelerate your salary’s growth. Before jumping into negotiations, take time to research the market, consider your overall wants and validate your requests. Presenting a coherent argument can help win over a hiring manager and set you apart from other candidates.

We’ve kept up with this house throught the years, so we know even simple changes, like removing the carpet from the graceful winding entry staircase and painting the wood-stained library a cool gray, have made an impressive difference. We’re happy to see that some of those original details that really create such character have not been tampered with. The hand painted Gracie wallpaper in the formal living room, for instance, is such a defining part of this home.

Reclaimed wood is a trend toward good
PAGE 9
Everything from A to Zeke
By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com A very common trend right now is rustic chic. You know, that natural, woodsy look weaved in with modern conveniences. I know I’ve mentioned Millennials’ tendencies to lean toward these natural materials, but it’s not just the younger age groups; I’m noticing it more and more throughout all generations. Reclaimed wood is proving to be a useful, practical and chic design choice, as it can be utilized in many ways. One of my favorite ways to use reclaimed wood is by creating a barn door that slides on a track. It’s convenient, saves space and adds incredible texture to a room. Two great places for this is from the dining room to the kitchen or connecting the master bedroom to the master bath. The height of a large barn door inside feels elegant and dramatic, allowing the rest of the room to be simpler in design, as it takes over as the focal point. This way, it also leaves opportunities for reclaimed wood accents throughout the home. The powder room is a space usually in need of something drastic, and that either means dressing up the vanity mirror(s) by adding a loud frame or picking one wall to be the star of the show. I suggest dressing up the wall with the toilet or the wall with the vanity mirror by putting up reclaimed wood paneling - stained tastefully and creatively, of course. Be generous with it; cover the whole surface for that full rustic effect. Incorporate modern, cleanlined sinks and hardware for the perfect balance.

and rough housing like the laundry room, mudroom and kitchen. Wood is great for framing. Whether it’s used for window shutters on the exterior of the home or to frame the windows indoors, the look is undeniably cozy. What’s even more cozy is framing a window seat in wood. Make some bookshelves while you’re at it, and throw on a few cushions and blankets. Create a spot for your coffee mug, and you have your own tiny cottage-y getaway for the winter. Put simply, wood is your answer to being environmentally conscious, instyle and practical. A simple search on Pinterest will show you not only how to use reclaimed timber as large features in your home, but fun, easier projects as well. Not to mention, Christmas trees look great amid a rustic, piney setting. I don’t see this trend going out of style any time soon. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.
Stephan Sardone Similarly, the wall at a stairway landing is often underwhelming and neglected. I recommend a full wooden wall with proper lighting to highlight the mixed-stained wood. The same wood could be used for railing or stair treads as accent. If that’s too much, simply choose one and leave it at that. Speaking of accents, I’ve seen some unique uses such as reclaimed timber baseboards. Not only is this edgy (ha, get it?), but it’s durable and will withstand a lot of wear and tear. In fact, it may even look better the more worn it gets over the years. This makes it a great material for rooms with a lot of traffic

On Saturday, Nov. 5, Lakehill Preparatory School’s 18th Annual Trek for Tech, the Parent Faculty Club’s signature fall event, combined all the right elements: two great races, dedicated sponsors, enthusiastic volunteers and a raff le with fantastic prizes. Uncertain weather couldn’t keep the dedicated runners away. The results were a great time for all who attended, and a lot of money raised was to purchase new technology. Students, families and faculty members put their best foot forward in the onemile Fun Run, while a large crowd hit the pavement for the 5K chip-timed race.

Rough chop the cranberries with the sugar in a food processor in batches and set aside. Finely dice the garlic and habaneros. Place in a heatproof bowl with the cumin. Heat the oil in a pan to 140 degrees then carefully pour into the garlic-habanero mixture and let sit until garlic no longer sizzles. Stir this into the cranberry-sugar mixture and add the reduced orange juice and sherry vinegar. Add the salt and cilantro and combine thoroughly. Yields about two quarts.

Lakehill students, family and faculty ran the 5K timed race on Saturday, Nov. 5. Below are Jason Herron-Loza and Avery Owen, winners for best student male and female times respectively. 326 people registered for this year’s races. The Trek Committee is still counting the monies raised through sponsorship, registration and technology purchases. The second grade won a cupcake party for having the highest percentage of participation with 76 percent. The Pasta Lunch, a carb-loading celebration, was held on Friday, Nov. 11. For $5, diners enjoyed pasta and pizza sponsored
by Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. The Trek Committee thanks those companies, individuals and families who supported the race through underwriting and equipment purchases, and the
faculty, NJHS and parent volunteers who helped the event run smoothly. Lakehill thanks John and Karen Owen for chairing this event again and for their efforts in making Trek for Tech a huge success!

brings more first time runners — especially women — to the races, creates other events to engage millennials who may no longer be able to run full marathons, while finding ways to expand the BMW Dallas Marathon brand. His goal — tapping into his Disney experience — as the new president is very clear. “How do we focus on the guest experience?” Lambert said. “The guest experience obviously has been very good in the past, just like Disney’s. We always focus on continuous improvement. One of my primary goals for our team this year is obviously to put on the best event that we can and to exceed expectations as best we can, but also have our eyes and ears wide open on how we can make improvements moving forward.”

The Dallas Institute
Rout stereotypes: travel, write, read By Patricia Gaffney, Ed.D. On a Nov. 9 lacking rain or shine, Hiett Prize honoree Alia Malek brought her Dallas Institute audience of students, educators, business people and patrons at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas prize luncheon back to her childhood in Amreeka, just outside Baltimore, Maryland. “Inside our home we were Syrian,” she recalled, her family’s immigrant experience mediated by public high school. A stint as the first Muslim woman attorney at the Office of Civil Rights and Journalism Study stood between that childhood and the fast-forward time in Syria and the European countries of its diaspora. Time stood still for Malek as she discovered in Europe the cultural ties that bound Syrians of different regions and educational levels in their displacement. They stuck together because they had worked together to survive, she said. In one story, she introduced the survivors of an overloaded raft to Kos, the Greek island serving many as a stage toward their intended destination, in a country like Sweden. Two men Malik called “Team Pastry” had the idea of replicating a sweet shop there. Getting off the island with families and dreams intact was daunting. In one family, adult sisters had taught a young brother to swim before starting the exodus. In another, a father who went to fetch milk missed the ferry off the island. Unorthodox measures reunited him with his wife and three children. As Malek captured stories and followed some of them to stops along the

Larry and Claudia Allums (left) of the Dallas Institute, and (right) Dr. Jaina Sanga and Katherine Owen. route, she also found herself in the role of language and cultural interpreter for the migrants. The same families Malek met stranded at several national borders asked why she traveled “like this,” following the migrants. “No answer,” she told the audience. Malek sensed Europeans’ curiosity about her, born an American, accompanying the refugees as a journalist. Distinct from them, she shared their language and could communicate their culture. Compared to the lives unraveling before her eyes on the “refugee trail” from Syria to Europe, her mother’s 1974 migration was fortunate. Malek’s pregnant mother left Syria “on her own terms” to join her husband, a medical resident at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. The family’s hyphenated existence as Syrian-Americans was both a “blessing and a curse,” but, Malek said, she “would never have wanted to experience this country in any other way.” A forthcoming book, The Home That Was Our Country: A Memoir of Syria,
recounts “100 years of history in Syria through a family story.” Dallas Institute Executive Director Dr. Larry Allums, who called Malek’s portrayals from A Country Called Amreeka: U.S. History Re-told through Arab American Lives “inspiring and troubling,” asked her how it felt to let the ArabAmerican stories go during the 10 years since collecting them. She can’t. Having no impulse to return to law from the journalism path she now pursues, the skills she honed practicing law, like engaging people and coaxing out their stories, serve her as a writer. Malek believes in good storytelling, to “show people as they are … flawed and complicated.” She wants to be a trusted storyteller, showing “just people” living lives against a “tragic backdrop,” like the Arab Spring or the Syrian displacement. Fighting stereotypes is an “endless battle,” said Malek. “Get informed, meet your fellow Americans,” find out about the places they come from. “This is the moment we live in. It starts today.”
