SMU students to attend inaugural address
Richard Drew/AP
By Lynn Elber/scpr.org Actress Debbie Reynolds, the star of the 1952 classic “Singin’ in the Rain,” has died. She was 84. Her son, Todd Fisher, said Reynolds died Wednesday, a day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher, who was 60. “She’s now with Carrie and we’re all heartbroken,” Fisher said from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where his mother was taken by ambulance earlier Wednesday. He said the stress of his sister’s death “was too much” for Reynolds. Reynolds enjoyed the very heights of show business success and endured the depths of personal tragedy and betrayal. She lost one husband to Elizabeth Taylor and two other husbands plundered her for millions. Fisher,
who found lasting fame as Princess Leia in “Star Wars” and struggled for much of her life with drug addiction and mental health problems, died on Tuesday after falling ill on a plane and being hospitalized. In her screen career, Reynolds was a superstar early in life. After two minor roles at Warner Bros. and three supporting roles at MGM, studio boss Louis B. Mayer cast her in “Singin’ in the Rain,” despite Gene Kelly’s objections. She was 19 with little dance experience, and she would be appearing with two of the screen’s greatest dancers, Donald O’Connor and Kelly, who also co-directed. Reynolds was born on April 1, 1932 in El Paso, TX to Maxine N. Harmon and Raymond Francis Reynolds.

When Donald Trump is sworn in as 45th President of the United States on Jan. 20 in Washington D.C., 21 SMU students will be in the crowd to witness the first chapter of what comes next as part of an SMU course on presidential inaugural addresses. “You think about some of the great speeches in American history, and so many of them come from
presidents on that inaugural stage,” said William Hagens, a junior political communications and political science double major who aspires to one day work as a political campaign manager. “This is in line with a lot of the other opportunities I’ve had through the communications program here at SMU,” Hagens added. “I wasn’t surprised this opportunity existed. I’m looking forward to seeing something historic.”
Every four years, SMU faculty organizes a class around the inauguration of the president. This year’s course is being organized and taught by Christopher Salinas, director of public discourse in the Division of Communication Studies. “This is one of those unique experiences you want from college,” Salinas said. “Years from now, students won’t remember everything that happened in the
classroom, but they will remember this. For the rest of their lives, they will remember they were at a presidential inaugural address.” Students were encouraged to contact their congressional representatives to request the highly sought-after tickets they share with constituents. The students will also be able to watch a livestream of the event from the

Letter from the Editor
Switching sides By Nancy Black I turned myself around this holiday season. Literally. I was mentally tired of the same old, same old, and physically tired of not getting a good Nancy Black night’s sleep. So I started putting my head down at the foot of my bed instead of at the top. And you know what? It worked. I now have a whole new perspective of my bedroom and my life. And I’m sleeping wonderfully. Routines are great but mine were really getting stale. I brushed my teeth the same way every morning, walked my dog on the same path every day (and night), and drove the same route to and from work. Not anymore. I’m switching things up for the New Year.
I’m putting my contacts in before I brush my teeth now. My dog is discovering new “pee-mail,” as I call it, by walking a new direction now. And I’m exploring new routes to and from my office. Are these minor changes? Maybe. But I do feel better, and maybe my next changes will be bigger. Or maybe not. This past year will go down in my personal history as one of the hardest in my life: my mom died, my brother had a stroke and I suffered many health issues. But, before you start thinking I’m throwing a pity party, stop. Because I’m not. I recognize how absolutely fortunate I am to be alive, have happy children and friends, and work at a job I love. For me, it’s just finally time to shake off the woes of 2016 and move forward with a fresh start in the New Year. Here’s to 2017 being the best year of all of our lives!

Carrie Fisher 1956 - 2016
By Christopher Dean Hopkins/KERA
By Camila Domonoske Carrie Fisher, the actress who became a pop culture icon for her performance as Princess Leia in Star Wars, has died at age 60. Fisher had suffered a massive heart attack last week on a flight from London to Los Angeles. On Sunday, her family said she was in stable condition. A representative of Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, confirmed that Fisher died on Tuesday morning. “Fisher was only 19 years old when she became intergalactically famous as Princess Leia in the Star Wars movies,” NPR’s Andrew Limbong reported. Fisher was “out and open about her issues with drugs and alcohol, and mental illness and treatment,” Limbong noted. “She told NPR’s Fresh Air that getting all of this out there and speaking about the baggage was a way for her to understand herself.” “It creates community when you talk about private things and you can find other people that have the same things,” Fisher said. “Otherwise I felt very lonely with some of the issues that I had.” Fisher also spoke with Terry Gross about the famous

gold bikini she wore while Princess Leia was enslaved by Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. “Nearly naked” was not her preferred aesthetic, she said. “It wasn’t my choice ... it made me very nervous. I had to sit very straight because I couldn’t have lines on my sides, like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid straight. “What redeems it is I get to kill him, which was so enjoyable. ... I sawed his neck off with that chain that I killed him with. I really relished that because I hated wearing that outfit and sitting there rigid straight, and I couldn’t wait to kill him.” Carrie Fisher said, in her 2008 HBO special Wishful Drinking, that if her life
wasn’t funny “it would just be true.” “Let’s say something happens, right, and from a certain slant maybe it’s tragic, even a little bit shocking,” she said. “And then time passes, and you go to the funny slant, and now that very same thing can no longer do you any harm.” As Limbong reported, Carrie Fisher lived by that wisdom. “She was born in 1956 to two huge stars — the singer Eddie Fisher and awardwinning actress Debbie Reynolds,” Limbong said. “From a certain slant being born to two famous people — who ended up famously divorcing — can be tragic. Time passes, and it has to be funny.”
British pop singer George Michael, who achieved fame as half of the duo Wham! before a breakout solo career, has died at his home in Oxfordshire, England, his publicist said. He was 53. Michael had struggled with depression and faced both drug and health problems, NPR’s Frank Langfitt reported; he postponed a series of concerts in 2011 after being hospitalized for pneumonia. His manager told The Hollywood Reporter that he died of heart failure. Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in North London, the son of a Greek Cypriot restaurant owner. Critics questioned the quality of some of his early lyrics, but Michael was extremely gifted at writing pop hooks. He was recently nominated for the Songwriters Hall of Fame and sold more than 100 million albums during his nearly four-decade career. He was clearly the creative force behind Wham!

Pets cont'd from page 1 Lake (Bob Jones Park in Southlake). If you don’t want to get your feet muddy, stick to the paved path along White Rock Lake or the Katy Trail. Use a leash that’s 6-feet or shorter. Retractable leashes make it very difficult to control your dog — potentially dangerous in a crowded area. Improve your pet’s diet. A nutritious diet is important for your pet’s health. If your pet isn’t already eating a high-quality food, make a switch. Look for the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) statement on the food packaging. Visit dogfoodadvisor.com and catfoodadvisor.com (coming soon) for ratings of many pet food brands. You may be surprised that the kibble you’re feeding isn’t very healthy. For high-quality food at a great price, I swear by the Kirkland Signature (Costco brand) kibble and canned food. Manage your pet’s weight. Measure your pet’s food and feed your pets on a schedule instead of allowing free access to food. Limit treats. Spoil your cat and dog with love and exercise/play time, not treats. Update your pet’s ID information. Purchase ID tags or an ID collar for your cats and dogs. Register your cat and dog with the City of Dallas (dallasanimalservices.org/pet-laws/pet-registration), and put that tag, as well as the rabies tag, on their collar. Microchip your pets and update the registration information when your phone number and/or address change. Start an emergency fund or buy pet insurance. Being prepared for costly veterinary emergencies can make the difference between life and death for your pet. Katherine Brammer, DVM, an emergency vet, recommends setting aside $20 to $40 per paycheck in an emergency fund. Be sure to read the fine print when purchasing pet insurance. You want an insurance policy that covers emergencies, wellness care and medications and won’t discontinue when your pet ages or suffers a major illness or injury. CareCredit (healthcare credit card) is another option for paying unexpected vet bills. Turn your pooch into a therapy dog. If your dog is very social, enjoys meeting new people and is calm in new environments, she may make a good therapy dog. Therapy dogs can volunteer in a variety of settings, including nursing homes, hospitals and libraries (where children practice reading to dogs). For information about therapy dog certification, visit petpartners.org or TDI-dog.org. Quit smoking. Secondhand smoke is harmful to pets as well as people. Secondhand smoke has been linked to increased respiratory disease and risk of cancer in animals. When pets groom themselves, they ingest the toxins that are caught in their fur. Any exposure is dangerous. If you don’t quit smoking, keep your pets away from smoke. Adopt a companion for your pet. Many cats and dogs enjoy having a four-legged friend, particularly if their people are often away from home. Not sure your cat will welcome a new buddy? Foster a cat or dog to find out. Visit petfinder.com to find adoptable dogs and cats in shelters and rescue groups. When you adopt from a rescue group, the animal has usually been living in a foster home and is probably already house-trained. When I suggest adopting from a rescue group instead of a shelter, people sometimes say “but I really want to save a shelter dog.” Most rescue groups save animals from the local shelters. When you adopt an animal from a rescue group, that foster parent has room to save another shelter animal. The foster parent provides basic training, including house training, and knows a lot about whether the dog gets along with other dogs, cats, and/or children. For many people, adopting from a rescue group (that usually allows a home trial prior to finalizing the adoption) is a less-stressful way to go. Most rescue groups check your vet reference, so be sure your animals are up-to-date on their vaccinations and heartworm prevention before applying to adopt a new pet. Happy New Year! Our Mission

Mull It Over
Remembering those lost in sports during 2016 By David Mullen In the years that I have been writing this column, there has not been such a tragic year in sports as 2016. Three full Mull It Over columns this year were dedicated to the deaths of pioneers (Ali, Summitt and Palmer) in their respective sports, while there were numerous mentions of losses in other columns throughout the year. Some were my heroes, some I highly respected and some I knew personally. As is our end-of-theyear tradition, we look back at losses in the sports world with so many having left a lasting impact. MUHAMMAD ALI (74) – The “Greatest of all Time” was once the most well-known man in the world. His impact on society will never be forgotten and his overall persona will never, ever be replicated as hard and as often as other athletes try.

I coordinated the giveaway poster as he was inducted into the Red Wings Hall of Fame. He returned to me a framed poster signed “Hello

By Ed Bark It’s one thing to launch a new cable network or streaming venue amid all the hundreds now available. Ed Bark It’s quite another to actually “arrive” with a signature series that both gets viewers into your tent and whets their appetites for more. HBO didn’t really arrive until “Sex and the City” did in 1998. A half-year later came “The Sopranos,” cementing the premium cable network as an enduring destination for EMMY-caliber programming. FX first branded itself with “The Shield” and now has an arsenal of acclaimed
original series ranging from “The Americans” to its new “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” AMC birthed “Mad Men” and you know the rest. Comedy Central first struck gold with “The Daily Show,” soon followed by “South Park.” Netflix wowed its subscribers with the high quality of “House of Cards” before becoming a gurgling fount of first-rate original programming, including “Orange Is the New Black” and “Master of None.” The History Channel, which now simply calls itself History, became primarily known in the early going as a home for grainy old war documentaries, with an emphasis on battleships. In recent seasons, History has scored big ratings successes with both

screen. “But Michael’s situation changed abruptly in 1998 when he was arrested for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles after being spotted by a male undercover police officer.” The arrest eventually led to his coming out. Michael’s career and popularity as a live performer remained strong afterward, if no longer chart-topping, the AP reported, “despite a growing number of run-ins with police, many of them stemming from a series of drivingunder-the-influence-of-drugs incidents.”

At the time of his biggest hits, The Associated Press noted, Michael had not disclosed his homosexuality: “Much of his chart success was based on his sex appeal to young women. His look was raw and provocative, with tight jeans, tight T-shirts, black leather jackets and designer stubble, and his videos pushed the accepted limits with many lingerie-clad models vying for Michael’s attentions on

“Hatfields & McCoys” and “The Bible.” But those were one-shot mini-series, which “Vikings” isn’t. Rousing, picturesque and, of course, combative, the series begins Season 4 on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 9 p.m. Knowing what it has, History isn’t messing around. Season 4 will be split into two 10-episode arcs after Seasons 1 through 3 totaled 29 episodes. So that’s a big vote of confidence. I’ve been a fan of “Vikings” from the start, and not only because I’m pretty much a sucker for swordplay and epic battle scenes. The real revelation here is Travis Fimmel in the central role of pillaging Ragnar Lothbrok, who also has something of a soft heart beneath all

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Passengers’ will make you want to sleep on the plane By Chic DiCiccio After 45 minutes, “Passengers” is well on its way to becoming a high concept psychological drama that happens to take place on a spaceship. In that short amount of time, the movie creates all sorts of arguments involving the human condition, such as loneliness and guilt, while leading you to believe this sci-fi tale is heading to a dark, dark place. Unfortunately, director Morten Tyldum and screenwriter Jon Spaihts chickened out. They’ve taken all the bite out of a delicious science fiction setup in an effort to cover an unnecessary budget of more than $100 million. The only hope this movie has to avoid box office disaster is the considerable appeal and star power of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. “Passengers” begins with Jim Preston (Pratt) waking up from hibernation on the Avalon, a ship making the 120-year journey from Earth to a new colony called Homestead II. The problem Jim faces is that he was accidentally awoken 90 years too early and discovers that of the 5,000 passengers, he’s the only one awake. Faced with the prospect of dying alone on a ship in space, Jim goes through a series of expected emotions ranging from carefree recklessness (mostly involving mass whiskey consumption) to horrible depression (also involving whiskey consumption). His only “friend” is an android bartender named Arthur (Michael Sheen) who mostly aids in the aforementioned whiskey consumption. After just over one year alone, Aurora Lane (Lawrence) wakes up. The hows and whys regarding it would spoil some of “Passengers” tastiest moments, but those are dispatched by Tyldum and Spaihts as they get these two castaways in love

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt star in “Passengers.” and naked together as quickly as possible. Sure, Jim and Aurora’s actions are affected by their situation and lack of options, but it’s tough to swallow that these two lovebirds swoon over each other in a matter of weeks. Right when “Passengers” has its most promising moral dilemma explode in Jim and Aurora’s faces is when the movie falls to pieces. Instead of pushing the envelope, the movie devolves into typical outer space movie nonsense. “The ship is falling apart!” “Oh no, the fusion engine is going to blow up!” All that is missing are aliens of some sort. It’s surprising that “Passengers” becomes such a bore considering Tyldum last directed the very well done “The Imitation Game” and he has two stars with charisma and charm to spare. It’s presumptuous, but there are specific scenes and plot developments that stink of studio interference amid fears that “Passengers” costs way too much to be this dark. Jennifer Lawrence is sleepwalking a bit, but she still helps make “Passengers” watchable. At one point, she’s forced to shout cheesy
dialogue while operating some levers and pushing some buttons that seems more fitting for a “Star Trek” episode. There’s also some questionable character decisions that have more to do with Spaihts script than Lawrence’s acting and it is extremely puzzling to watch her be forced into such bizarre situations. A casting director should try to pair Lawrence and Chris Pratt together again. Their on-screen chemistry makes the movie move for the first hour and much of that is Pratt on screen alone. Pratt does a
things like Lawrence, but he also is in one of the most preposterous action sequences in recent movie history. Lawrence and Pratt are definitely up for it, but Tyldum and Speihts turn “Passengers” into a wannabe “Titanic” in space. It even has a “don’t let go, Rose” moment that would be the biggest eye roller in the movie if not for what happens immediately after it. Once “Passengers” shifts gears and becomes about the dangers of space travel instead of a movie about people that happen to be in space, it creates a space-

great job as an unhinged person slowly losing his mind, but like Lawrence, he eventually is forced into boring sci-fi nonsense. He gets the unfortunate burden of not only saying silly
like vacuum of boredom in the theater. Besides, what kind of a movie has Andy Garcia in it but doesn’t have him say a word?

How to turn monetary gifts into teachable moments
Children and teenagers who received monetary gifts for the holidays are often excited to choose what to buy. While they should be allowed to spend some of the money or gift cards, as a parent, you could also use these windfall gains as an opportunity to teach and practice important personal finance lessons. Here are a few ideas to start with, although you can alter the message or subject matter to match your child’s experience and ability to understand the topic. Create money goals together. Planning how your child will save or spend monetary gifts is a valuable skill and practice no matter their age. (If you don’t have a personal plan, this is a great opportunity to set an example by developing your financial path as well.) You can start by drawing three columns — spending, saving and giving — and having them write a few goals for each. Explain the difference
and importance of long- and short-term goals, and the value of having an emergency fund (for kids this could help pay for a car repair or bike tire). Set priorities and discuss the big picture. Have them add up all they received and divide it into each column. Offer guidance to help them determine how much to put into saving and charity, taking the time to explain your reasoning. They’ll likely find that there isn’t enough money to make a significant impact on all their goals and they’ll need to prioritize based on how important each goal is to them. Share your own experiences and how sometimes it’s better to save for a bigger and better purchase later. You could also have them calculate how expected earnings from allowance, working or upcoming holidays or birthdays could help them achieve their unrealized goals. Decide where to store the savings. If they don’t already have one, it might be a good
time to open a bank account with your children. Go over the differences between a checking and savings account and how they can store the money they received and earn. Your kids can then decide how to split their funds between checking and savings based on their goals. Gift cards can pose a challenge, particularly if they’re store-specific cards. Children who receive them can’t deposit them at the bank, and they should take this into account as they determine which priorities they can meet and which may need to wait. However, there are online marketplaces where they can buy and sell gift cards. How much they’ll pay and receive depends on the marketplace and the store — an example of supply and demand in action. Comparison shop before making a purchase. No doubt children are going to want to spend some of the money right away. It offers an excellent opportunity to discuss
Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week is likely to begin very much as expected for most individuals who are, in the traditional vein, looking back even as they look forward — and the traditional will count for much during these first seven days of the new year. Some, however, will take advantage of this opportunity to make sweeping changes that seem to flout tradition entirely and lean aggressively toward a bold new future and a new kind of life. Work, family, love, faith — all may be examined and tossed into a melting pot that can yield much that is novel in the lives of many. Almost everyone will know someone who has chosen to throw caution to the wind and do the seemingly inexplicable in order to maximize his or her chances for a brighter future. What all this means is that the week's events can prove pivotal for the year to come, and one's actions will surely shape much of what happens in the approaching months. Anyone who believes that this is just another new year is fooling himself — and there may be a price to pay as a result! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Letting go of one plan in favor of another may be unavoidable, but that doesn't mean you have to let it go for good. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Current affairs will provide inspiration for the next few weeks, and those who work
with you will give you some good ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You are nearing the end of an important personal phase. The fact that it didn't conclude with the passing of the year actually bodes well. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You're not doing what you should be doing, and you know it. You'll have a chance to mend your ways and get back on track. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) When someone lays down the law, you'll want to follow it to the letter – knowing full well that a time for change will come. (March 6-March 20) – Now is no time to protest the coming of a new era — instead, you will want to take advantage of the opportunities it brings. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Your sense of humor is likely to carry you through a week that would otherwise prove quite trying. Others show their support. (April 5-April 19) – Several people are likely to drift into your orbit, but the cause is unclear. Soon you'll understand what is really going on. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may be eager to see how your plans are resonating with others, but you don't want to hold things up for this reason.
Keep moving forward! (May 6-May 20) – Coming events will be worth remembering, and you may be able to build momentum each and every day. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may not have realized just what is at stake, but your ability to roll with the punches will surely come in handy. (June 7-June 20) – You may reconnect with someone who, perhaps years ago, influenced you in a way that you will never forget. Progress continues. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can turn things around and begin anew, but be certain you aren't simply hiding from that which cannot be ignored. (July 8-July 22) – You may be seeking a commitment from someone who is not in a position to give you one, but by week's end you'll know exactly what is possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be approaching a deadline of sorts that makes you more nervous than you would otherwise be. Don't procrastinate! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You will want to be fully prepared before heading into a situation controlled by a rival. You cannot afford any sort of misstep! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may have to be reminded

the importance of comparison shopping. Comparing prices at various retailers can help them find a good deal, and they should also consider several alternative but similar purchases. Being able to figure out what best fits one’s needs, wants and budget is an important skill at any age. Discuss the time value of money and importance of saving wisely. Older children might be ready to learn about the time value of money, the idea that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future. You could discuss how inflation can decrease the purchasing power of money over time. Older children might be able to think of examples, and you can reinforce the point with images of old advertisements for 5-cent soda or gum.

Don’t forget our vacation home blog SecondShelters.com ... a vacay home would be great right about now! Our Monday Morning Millionaire this week is off the charts in imagination, and in execution. If Harry Potter needed a home in Texas, this Highland Park architectural masterpiece would do nicely. I’ve always thought 3619 Crescent Ave. looked like it was inspired by Hogwarts, but the design was actually drawn from a style of Romanesque Revival architecture called Richardsonian Romanesque, after architect Henry Hobson Richardson. Richardson is known for designing the Trinity Church in Boston, a National Historic Landmark. Richardson is also the only American architect to have a style named for him, and his style was, and is, expensive to create. You’ll see a number of Texas county courthouses that have definite aspects of Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style. Originally built for Donald and Mary Catherine Huffines in 2005, it is truly an original. I remember rounding the corner of Cowper years ago and having to pick my jaw up off my lap at the sight of it. I actually pulled over and stared at it for some time. It was like nothing we’d ever seen in Dallas and, frankly, nothing constructed since then can hold a candle to it. If you’ve been keeping up with Texas politics, Huffines is the Republican State Senator for District 16. His grandfather founded the Huffines Auto Group in 1924 and he and twin brother Phillip started one of the largest real estate land development companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, Huffines Communities. So yes, you could say he knows a thing or two about real estate and homes. Huffines hired Warren Wilke and the two put their heads together to come up with the home Huffines dubbed Coram Deo, a Latin phrase meaning “in the presence of God.” The exterior is made of granite shipped in from all over the world. There is nothing bland or boring anywhere. Columns, turrets, balusters, arches and detailed carvings

The roof is natural rock slate with custom-designed copper finials and an all-copper gutter system. We could fill a book trying to describe everything about the three-story, 13,984-square-foot mansion but we’ll try to keep it concise. There are seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, three powder baths, a great room, family room, office, library, breakfast area, game room, wine cellar, playroom, nursery, guest suite, billiard room (with a kitchen) and a theater (with a kitchen). Let me draw a breath. The house has seven fireplaces. Of course, there is an elevator. There is a wellness center with a sauna, steam room, his-and-hers cabana baths, an exercise room, two pools and spas, a waterfall and enough backyard for a good game of touch football as it’s on one of the largest lots in Highland Park. There is room for four cars in two attached garages. If you feel faint, join the crowd. Although this home may sound over the top and somewhat intimidating, it’s not. I’ve been in the house and it’s surprisingly cozy. Seriously. You’d never realize it’s enormous because it was carefully laid out for a close-knit family with five active children. The house was created with two distinct needs, to be suited for entertaining but to clearly serve as a family home first. There is so much to look at in this one-of-a-kind wonder, listed at $8.695 million that you’re going to have to call Doris Jacobs with Allie Beth Allman and Associates and see it for yourself. This is one instance where words really don’t do it justice. So as you recover from the holiday, sit back, relax and enjoy the gorgeous photos.

Cluttered closet means clogged artery By Stephan Sardone
One of my biggest pet peeves is an overly cluttered hall closet. By “hall closet,” I mean your entryway closet or any spare closet spaces throughout the home. Much like our own personal closets, these tiny, spare spaces tend to become black holes, gathering places for extra items — many of which are unrelated to each other. The vacuum may end up there, along with winter coats and board games. Because these spaces tend to be quick drop-off/pick-up spots, we need them to be easily accessible and organized for immediate needs. Stephan Sardone I know we must work with the room we’ve got, but there are ways to cut down the clutter and organize. After deciding on the purpose of your closet, envision a plan for organization. If it’s for linens, consider more shelves and cubbies to hold baskets of washcloths and hand towels. If it’s for coats, shoes and out-the-door items, you may want to start the shelving and cubbies halfway down the wall. That way, you leave room for long coats and jackets. If your closet is multi-purpose, divide it down the middle with shelving and use each side for its own purpose. Tiny closets present a problem when organizing. No matter what, it looks cluttered, and the more organizational features you add, the more cramped it looks. For those limited spaces, I suggest installing three (or however many will fit) large butcher block shelves to make use of all the negative space. These are essentially large, floating shelves that are sturdy and look nice. For convenience, install a jamb light that is activated by opening the door; it’ll make those quick visits more efficient and less frustrating. Get creative with overhead fixtures, and consider shelf lighting, as it will help eliminate those shadowy parts of the closet. Use the door to your advantage. If you’re tired of losing your umbrellas in the closet abyss, put up an umbrella holder on the back of the door. In fact, you might just install a fixture with several hanging spots for other items as well. For a linen closet, the door could be the perfect place to hang robes or a hamper for when guests are finished using their towels. Or, instead of the fixture, you could hang a mirror; it adds another layer of convenience to our fastpaced mornings. Something I’ve seen a lot lately is opening the entry way closet completely. Take off the door, install an interior bench and put hooks on the back wall; you’ll have a spot to take off your shoes and hang your coat right as you walk in. stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

An entryway closet can become a convenient pit stop for taking off shoes and hanging up your coat. No matter what you use your closet for, it’s always fun to play with color. Either paint the interior walls something fun or just stick to painting the back door something bold. You’d be surprised how such a little space (when organized) can make such a huge difference in your daily life.

those scars, tattoos and body armor. Back in the fall of 2003, Fimmel had the title role in the now defunct WB network’s “Tarzan” series. Set in Manhattan after the loinclothed swinger had been captured by his nefarious, billionaire uncle, “Tarzan” lasted less than two months, and Fimmel has long since disowned it. But after years of relative obscurity, the Australian-born actor and his piercing blue eyes have found their perfect match. History made Season 4’s initial four episodes available for review. At the end of Season 3, Ragnar was near death after two epic attacks on a treasure-laden Paris kingdom. Early in Season 4, he’s still looking like a goner after the Vikings return to their home base of Kattegat. This prompts some scheming on the part of his second wife, Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland), and other power-seekers. But Ragnar isn’t about to expire, of course.
Because “Vikings” otherwise would die along with him. Unfortunately, Season 4 mostly will be without the soulful Christian priest Athelstan (George Blagden), who at least is still available via visions to his friend Ragnar and others. Athelstan otherwise was murdered at the end of Season 3 by sneaky, crazy Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård). Equally duplicitous is Ragnar’s ambitious, turncoat brother, Rollo (Clive Standen), who has remained in Paris after taking some big bribes. Also again figuring prominently in Season 4 are Ragnar’s ex-wife, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and their strapping son, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), who in the first batch of episodes has a frozen, solitary sojourn reminiscent of Leonardo DiCaprio’s in “The Revenant.” “Vikings” occasionally loses its footing early in Season 4. But it remains a fully imagined, captivating world unto itself on a network that needed a weekly series to grow on and clearly has one.
Reviewing the year environmentally By Naima Montacer The best 2016 memes are the “me at the beginning of 2016 vs me at the end of 2016” with a picture of a young bright-faced actor (Leonardo DiCaprio in “Titanic”), compared to the aged, bearded, rough looking same actor (Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Revenant”). The memes capture the sentiment of many this year, a year that started with an abundance of hope turned into struggle and now looking forward to a fresh start in 2017. The memes resonate with environmental news for the year as well — a great start followed by tumultuous months, ending being exhausted and beaten but still having a glimmer of hope to overcome. Coming off of COP 21 (Conference of Parties) in December 2015, the first few months of 2016 were
optimistic for the environmental future of our earth. The Flint, Michigan water crisis came to a head in the first few months finally leading to the resignation of officials, criminal charges and nationwide awareness of the issue. Money has been slow to come in and fix the problem of old lead pipes, and at the end of 2016 the residents of Flint still cannot drink unfiltered tap water. In early December, Congress approved $170 million in aid, but Flint city officials say they’ll need tens of millions more to replace all of the city’s lead pipes. Yikes. January 2016 started with an announcement that Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners Dakota Access received permit approval by the North Dakota Public Service Commission to build a pipeline to transport oil from North Dakota to Illinois. In July attorneys
for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe took their first legal action to stop the pipeline being built over areas of cultural importance and under the Missouri River, which could lead to water quality issues. Peaceful protests started in the summer months and through social media their numbers grew to include several famous elites including the Avengers. The peaceful protests were met with violence and just as the cold weather was setting in, the Sioux Tribe received a small win. The pipeline is stopped, for now. This small win will be amplified as this moment in history is sure to shape future decisions showing that we, the people, can come together in opposition of large company interests. Locally, the Trinity River Project was hot on the environment news. In many regards it can have a positive impact on our local

environment — most notably providing a recreational area for the public to connect to our Trinity River and forest, overall impacting public opinion on the importance of the environment in our everyday lives. The recent gift of $50 million to the project may just move it forward in 2017, but don’t hold your breath. Earth Day Texas hosted more than 130,000 people making Dallas a hot spot for forward momentum in sustainability. Three hundred and eighteen
(of the 1800 in Texas) Tesla Model S vehicles were registered in Dallas through January 2015, and that number seems to be increasing (more current numbers aren’t out yet). Driving around town, Tesla sightings are common. I’m still accepting late Christmas presents if anyone has an extra $80K lying around. Water issues weren’t just in Flint this year. Cities throughout Texas had boil bans and citizens were asked to conserve water — current issues in nearby Mineral Wells are still not fixed. By the end of 2016, with an election won by a climate change denier, we are left less hopeful than the end of 2015. But, hope survives. Trump has already lessened his stance on environmental issues and, although his choices in staff are not environmentally friendly, there are plenty
of citizens who care about what our earth will look like in the future. The environment will remain a top priority and the world will move forward with sustainability issues even if our government does not. In Dallas, we have an opportunity to keep our momentum going and push for follow through on environmental initiatives such as our city’s Zero Waste program. Our current landfill diversion rate is just 21 percent. If we plan to make the 40 percent goal by 2020, we need some creative, economically feasible ideas — let’s make it mandatory for apartments, hotels and restaurants to recycle. I bet we’d be more than 40 percent quick. You can tweet Mayor Rawlings (@ Mike_Rawlings) your support of mandates on recycling for commercial entities. Happy New Year!

Wine pairings are available for an additional $35 per person. Winemaker
