HISTORY

Former bomber pilot considers himself ‘Lucky’ By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com Nearly 80 years ago, Dallas resident John “Lucky” Luckadoo survived 25 missions as a B-17 bomber pilot in the U.S. Eighth Air Force during World War II, serving against heavy odds but with a determination to defeat Nazi Germany. Today, the 97 year-old, a veteran pilot of the legendary “Bloody Hundredth” 100th Bombardment Group, has one more mission: He aims to establish a national “Home Front Heroes Day” to honor Americans who have supported the military in years past and present. Early in May, he was part of a special event at his residence at Presbyterian North Village near Forest Lane. “I was about 17 when I went to get my wings,” Luckadoo said. “This was a very unusual thing. They replaced all of the copilots with recent flight school graduates. I had never been in a B-17 before. I had to learn on the job. We had no fighter escorts to do our bombing runs. “During my time in the service, the people back home made tremendous sacrifices which boosted our morale,” Luckadoo said. “While we were in England, we faced terrible odds and lost airmen almost every time we flew, and it wore on us. Every B-17 that went down took 10 men with it who were captured, killed or declared missing in action.

COMMUNITY NEWS Medal awarded to local hero On May 22, President Donald Trump presented the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor posthumously to Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Police Officer Brent Thompson. Officer Thompson, 43, became the first DART police officer killed in the line of duty when he gave his life while engaging a mass shooter and saving the lives of countless civilians and fellow officers during a protest march in Dallas on July 7, 2016. – Mark A.

JOHN LUCKADOO

John “Lucky” Luckadoo has established “Home Front Heroes Day” to honor unsung war participants. “There are numerous holidays, special days and events honoring veterans, but there are none acknowledging the people on the home front who do their duty, too, and I hope to change that. In October 1943, we flew a mission over Bremen, Germany, and lost seven planes and 72 airmen. A mission over Berlin lost 15 planes. We needed the support of the people back home to help us fly the next mission. Our military today needs this same level of support, too.” As Luckadoo and other residents told war stories, the first “Home Front Heroes Day” event

also featured an honor guard, singers and politicos. World War II home front memorabilia was displayed including a 48-star flag. Luckadoo was given a proclamation from the mayor and Dallas City Council naming May 9 as “Home Front Heroes Day,” and he hopes more cities around the country will recognize it as a holiday. Service on the home front during World War II meant participating in a number of volunteer efforts such as neighborhood “scrap drives” to collect brass and copper HISTORY cont'd on page 11

The Good Word

The measure of success nebulous

By The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata Rector, Saint Michael and All Angels Success is one of those nebulous ideas that most of us toss around, but few of us agree about how to define it. For most, I think we have some idea about success being based on financial wealth or security (or both), with some mix of power and authority. Perhaps we toss in a pinch of educational achievement or charisma. And if we’re truly well balanced, we throw in a small bit about faith and generosity to others — but let’s be honest, success is almost always measured by wealth and power. In my line of work as a clergyperson, I spend time with people who are near death as well as with families who have lost a loved one. Death is the great equalizer — death comes for us all. Although all of us will die, I am acutely aware that, at times, not all of us live well. Over the years, I have participated in countless funeral services and watched even more families grieve. At a funeral, one thing comes into stark contrast: the true measure of success. I’ve buried wealthy people and poor people, shy people and exuberant people, old people and young people, and every in between. There is a big difference between people who show up to a funeral out of duty or a sense of being polite, and those who show up because they truly loved the deceased and want to honor and love them one last time. You’ve seen it, I know you have. And I’m guessing that you, like me, hope to have more people show up to our funerals who truly loved us and felt loved by us, rather than those seeking to be polite. American author Annie Dillard once wrote, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” That simple idea seems blatantly obvious, yet measuring the use of our time can prove scary. Think about the time you have spent over the last week. Consider how many hours you slept, how many hours you worked, how many hours you sat in your car, and how many hours you spent with other people. Now take the total amount of time you spent with other people and subtract out all the time that was not high quality, connecting time. In the last week, the K AT Y TR AIL WEEKLY'S

last 168 hours of your life, how many were spent generously focused on others? Unfortunately, for most of us, the total time spent caring for and about others is a pathetic portion of our Rev. Dr. Girata lifetime. I would be hard-pressed to find a single person who feels as though they have spent enough time showing love to those they love, and I count myself in that same number! Whether we find that we are sadly addicted to staring at our smartphones, or perhaps too highly committed to making more money, or don’t even have enough people in our lives to even care about, we are all falling short of the person we want to be. Earlier this week, we celebrated Memorial Day, a day in which we remember those who gave their lives heroically for people they didn’t and would never know. Memorial Day is also the traditional beginning of summer, a period of time when life slows down a bit. Put those two moments together, and I want to invite you to consider two things: (1) who would you give your life for and (2) can you make a little more time, especially this summer, to deeply connect and love the most important people in your life? We are all searching for meaning, searching to matter. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us all to take stock of what is more important to us and to begin to measure our success with more wisdom than we have before. People need people, and we are no different. This week, this season, open yourself up to adjusting the way you spend your days so that in the end, you will spend your life as you wanted: leaving a legacy of love as you go. The Rev.

Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to see a great many individuals battling inner demons and doing all they can to prevent mood swings that can threaten the progress that has been made over the past weeks or months. It's important for everyone to have someone to talk to — about anything and everything — whenever the need arises, and talk this week is sure to result in the kind of personal growth and progress that can make a difference in one's life now and in the future. Those who put an emphasis on interdependency will encounter the least trouble this week, and cooperation can surely win the day. The difference between trying and succeeding will be on display all week long, and those who confuse one with the other will surely need more help than usual this week. It's more important now than ever before that people mean what they say and say what they mean.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Keep your ear to the ground this week, and be on the alert for anything out of the ordinary. Your connection to someone in charge will count for much. (June 7-June 20) – You may have to color the truth just a bit this week when dealing with those who think they know you better than they do. Avoid any outright deception, however. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can work things to your advantage this week by juggling what is certain with what is only possible.

You must be willing to take a risk. (July 8-July 22) – You're likely to be affected in a new way by what someone else does this week. You may have a question or two for someone who is assuming a central role in your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) After you get the cheering up that you likely require early in the week, you'll be good to go and able to accomplish everything on your to-do list. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may be confused about what someone else is up to, but your attempts to get more information are likely to result in little if anything at all. Avoid getting too involved. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Someone is likely to put in a good word for you this week, and the connections you make as a result can propel you forward at an increased pace. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You don't want to have to say "I told you so" to a friend or loved one, but the facts are supporting your position on a certain issue, and not the opposing view. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You have more to prove this week than you have in the recent past, but if you cast your mind back, you'll recognize that you've been in this position before. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Information at your fingertips may not be as useful to you as you had hoped. You are going to have to improvise when things get rolling. Avoid a direct conflict.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You can make up lost ground this week and get yourself up with the front-runners. Someone may let you down in a personal situation later on. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You have much to be proud of and thankful for this week. A friend is likely to come to you with a request that takes you by surprise at first but makes sense after careful consideration. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You're likely to receive a confirmation of something you've only suspected, which means you can move ahead with plans you've kept under wraps. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – It's a good week for getting the lay of the land, and any new situation in which you find yourself is likely to develop in your favor, at least for the time being. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You must guard your resources with great care this week. If you find yourself running out of energy, a visit to a certain someone can prove restorative. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – A dangerous situation is recognized as such by someone close to you, but you've not been willing to listen. This week, events transpire that begin to convince you.

destination with the help of a good friend. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You don't need permission to do what needs to be done, but you may need to ask for forgiveness if you do what you want to do and things don't go quite according to plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may have to engage in some tricky negotiations this week on behalf of someone who doesn't know all that you know. You'll impress the boss. (March 6-March 20) – You'll be able to hold things together this week, despite someone's attempts to pull them apart. Do what you can to avoid a one-onone confrontation. ARIES (March 21-April 4) How you spin a story will affect everyone around you; the decision to depart from the truth is a dangerous one that you don't really have to make. (April 5-April 19) – Someone may ask you to lie, but by sticking to the truth, you can do more to promote your agenda than at any other recent time. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Now is no time to take shortcuts or do anything that has others thinking that you can be bought. You must play by the rules and do only what is aboveboard. (May 6-May 20) – You're going to put yourself on the line, and you can expect handsome rewards if things go your way. You have an important request to make of someone in charge.

DEC MY ROOM

Creating healing, attractively decorated rooms for hospitalized children and teens.

By Sally Blanton

to find donors and attract volunteers willing to commit to “dec’ing’” three to five rooms a year.

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

Q What sort of volunteer jobs are

Q What is your mission or highest

purpose? The mission of Dec My Room is to create a healing place for kids and teens who are hospitalized for three weeks or longer. Our team of volunteers funds this by taking a child’s wish list and shopping for personalized items that are colorful and help them to feel like they are in their own bedroom. They, of course, take their new items when they are able to leave the hospital.

available? Volunteers drive our nonprofit, so that is our greatest need. Also, there are opportunities to help with communications, data tracking and corporate partnerships.

Q Suppose this nonprofit received a

$20,000 donation today … where would it immediately be put to good use? As we have our auxiliary in place, we can begin to expand to other hospitals, so these funds would go directly to decorating 66 rooms!

Q How did your career path lead you Q What is the most memorable

to this position? I have always served in the healthcare industry but mainly on the business side in the field of public relations. I left the business sector and felt a calling to volunteer; so I was a volunteer in Houston for Dec My Room since its founding. We moved to Dallas and it was a natural fit to step into the role of director.

Q Why are you passionate about

helping this charity? When you have the chance to have such personal connection with patients and bring them items that make their faces light up, that’s the real reward.

Q What is difficult about your job?

A I set out to grow Dec My Room in North

Texas organically and deliberately. At first, the fundraising, which was outside of my comfort zone, kept me up at night. But this is such a meaningful charity, that it really resonates with people looking to volunteer or donate. It only costs $300 to decorate a room, so we continue

thing that has happened since you began? One story that has stayed with me is the phone call that I received shortly after a team of volunteers dec’ed for a teenager. He had been bitter and angry for nearly six months. Then there was a voicemail left by his grandmother who was in tears telling me that for the first time since his diagnosis, her grandson started smiling again and his anger dissipated. As she said, “We saw our grandson again.” That’s why we do what we do.

Karen Michlewicz, director, answered these questions.

When you undertake a major renovation process, at times, your home may seem like it is as busy as Grand Central Station. Just what is everyone doing? I am often asked “What is the difference between a lead carpenter and project manager?” Unfortunately, these days there is Stephan Sardone no standard answer as some companies take liberties with the roles that make it difficult to determine roles. According to various reports, many remodelers and construction companies have ignored industry definitions and come up with their own job description for a lead carpenter. This can lead to confusion for not just the company, but for its clients. Giving the title of lead carpenter to a carpenter that does not perform lead tasks as defined by the industry is not fair to true lead carpenters. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) defines the lead carpenter as “someone who is responsible for customer satisfaction, material take-offs and orders, jobsite supervision (including protection, cleanliness, and safety), carpentry labor, supervising and scheduling subcontractors, inspections and paperwork.” NARI believes “The success of a remodeling project during the production stage is the primary responsibility of the lead carpenter.” By definition, the project manager should have general skills for project management are used in a construction project manager role. These include planning and time management – to ensure that projects are completed within set timeframes – and resource Management – ensuring that equipment is available throughout the building project. The most experienced or highest paid carpenter on the jobsite doesn’t always make him or her lead carpenter. They should have a system that supports the company executing the job. They should be managing materials to budget, or give the client plenty of notice when encountering job overruns. Make sure to ask a lot of questions. Find out who the lead carpenter and project manager is before beginning your remodeling project. Ask about insurance, permits and licenses. Be open and honest, and don’t over-manage as the project gets underway. The lead carpenter may have other jobs as well. Be prepared and make sure that their availability is maximized and you will have a pleasant remodeling experience. Client trust and comfort levels are critical in executing a quality remodel.

AUTOMOBILITY

Corolla Hybrid offers 2020 foresight

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net The reservation with Enterprise was for a Ford Fusion or (you know the drill) something similar. That something similar was a Chevrolet Malibu, which would be washed as soon as a 2019 Toyota Corolla, in all of its car rental ‘specialness’, was out of the wash bay. Or we could take the Corolla, and get on the road 20 minutes sooner. We took the Corolla. And while not sure we would have pulled the trigger with two-and-a-half kids and their attendant stuff, for just two the Corolla was a nice road car. Obviously, the I-95 slog between Florida and Virginia doesn’t offer many challenges, but traffic was moving (typically between 75 and 80 miles-per-hour), and the Corolla was comfortably composed for roughly 14 hours behind the wheel. That was then; the ‘now’ is the allnew 2020 Corolla, imbued — in this instance — with all the hybrid goodness Toyota can throw at it. Had we had the Corolla Hybrid, it would presumably have done the 924 miles between Clearwater and the DC ‘burbs using about 18 gallons — that’s just $50! — of fuel. The ’19 Corolla rental was efficient (the gas gauge moved ever so slowly toward ‘E’), but it wasn’t 52 miles per gallon Hwy efficient. Now in its twelfth generation, the 2020 Corolla is as all-new as that descriptive would typically suggest. While sitting on the same 106 inches

of wheelbase as the last generation, the Corolla platform is new, its track is wider, and its front overhang has been reduced. You’ll not confuse this all-new sedan with Toyota’s all-new Supra, but the 2020 Corolla does deliver a sportier vibe, while not sure we should call it a vibe. The sheet metal is, as you’d guess, evolutionary, but represents a nice update on what’s gone before. With something like 46 million sold since the Corolla’s debut in 1966, it’d be foolish to reinvent the wheel — although Toyota offers 18-inchers on those models with conventional powertrains. To create the Corolla Hybrid, and offer something those hybrid fans will embrace if they’re not fans of the aggressively redesigned Prius, Toyota combines a 1.8 liter four with two motor/generators through an electronically controlled (as you’d hope…) CVT. The total combined horsepower is but 121, but as Toyota’s press blurb suggests, the combo delivers “decidedly responsive performance.” And while the electric assist of a hybrid might grab the headlines, no less attention was paid to the Corolla Hybrid’s engine. Featuring a long stroke, the Atkinson cycle powertrain combines (and pay attention here) a shorter intake stroke and longer expansion stroke than the more conventional Otto cycle power plant. The end result is more energy extraction from the fuel, while the electric motors offset the reduced low-end power.

TOYOTA

The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Behind the wheel, the Corolla Hybrid is conventionally benign, and for the target market we won’t argue with that. The controls are generally intuitive, seats are comfortable and the visibility is reasonably good, helped in no small way by a substantial rearview camera. With just one available trim level — LE — you won’t see much in the way of comfort adds, but then, we’re talking $23,000 here and not, notably, $33,000. For the bottom line, look no further than the above number, 53 miles per gallon City, room for four people and

— with its generous trunk — most of their stuff. There might be an argument for leather (and for that we have the aftermarket supplier Katzkin), but for many, just ditching the Jetsonian architecture of the current Prius lineup may be enough. For this writer, it’s more than enough. And it’s available in Toyota showrooms now. David Boldt brings years of experience in automotive retail sales and public relations to his automotive reporting.

MULL IT OVER

Warriors remain team to beat

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com It is time to come clean. I admit that I missed half of my preseason NBA Finals prediction by a mile. Actually, by 432 miles. While I did correctly have the Golden State Warriors representing the Western Conference in the Finals, which began May 30, I thought that the Boston Celtics would win the Eastern Conference. But the Celtics fell apart in the playoffs, meaning that one must look north of the border as the Toronto Raptors will play in their first championship series ever. Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard turned up his performance and played with great focus on both offense and defense as Toronto shocked the favored Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite having a home court advantage, their reward for their great play is facing the Warriors, reaching the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive season. Golden State has cemented their legacy as one of the greatest teams of all-time. Despite losing forward Kevin Durant to a calf injury, the Warriors proved too difficult to manage for an inexperienced Portland Trail Blazers team in the Western Conference finals. The play of guard Stephen Curry and forward Draymond Green filled the void left by Durant. The Warriors also made fans realize just how deep they are on the bench. That depth will take the Warriors to their fourth World Championship in five years. Warriors will win in five games. ••• Three recent deaths had an impact on the local and national sports scene, with the first being highly respected Dallas Morning News sportswriter Gerry Fraley. I remember when Fraley joined The News in 1989 after a stint as a beat writer covering the Atlanta Braves for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He would join a team of sportswriters in Dallas that at the time were as good as any in the country. While Fraley was versatile, had a keen knowledge of all sports and a great attention to detail and deadline, in my mind it was his baseball writing that set him apart. He was one of the best in the business, and with his long gray hair and stocky build, Fraley even looked the part of a veteran sportswriter that could have been right at home in New York or Chicago. He asked tough questions, and the few times I was with him at press conferences, he had a “take no prisoners” attitude. He would get “his” questions answered; having little time for what ever angle another reporter might be taking. Fraley died on May 24 at 64 after a two-year bout with cancer, leaving a void on the local sports journalism front. ••• Quarterback Bart Starr, who led the Green Bay Packers to victories in Super Bowl I and II, died on May 26 after complications from a stroke. He was 85.

Starr was involved in one of the most famous plays in NFL – and Dallas Cowboys – history when he scored a touchdown with 16 seconds left on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field on Dec. 31, 1967, in the league championship game. Of course, that game is better known as the “Ice Bowl,” with the temperature falling to 13 degrees below zero. It is considered to be the coldest game in NFL history. A 17th round draft pick out of Alabama in 1959, Starr was considered too much of a gentleman to quarterback the Packers, given the gruff demeanor of head coach Vince Lombardi. But the two built a mutual respect and created one of the most successful teams in NFL history. Annually, the NFL honors the player showing the most outstanding character and leadership with the Bart Starr Award. ••• Despite playing for 22 seasons, having a swing that made other professionals jealous and winning a batting title in 1980, Bill Buckner was best known for an error while playing first base in game six in the 1986 World Series as a member of the Boston Red Sox that helped the New York Mets win a championship. For Buckner to be remembered for that faux pas is not doing him justice. First part of the legendary Los Angeles Dodgers teams of the 1970s, Buckner amassed 2,715 hits in his career, more than many Hall of Famers. A disciplined hitter, he often walked more times in a season than he struck out. Buckner died on May 27 after battling dementia. He was 69.

‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ is disastrous

Warner Bros. Pictures

Kyle Chandler stars in "Godzilla: King of the Monsters."

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood “Oh no. They say he’s got to go, go, go, Godzilla.” For anyone interested in a movie that contains traditional story elements such as “plot” or “character,” those lyrics will absolutely ring true. That goofy Blue Oyster Cult song is

more entertaining than “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and if you’ve never heard that song, well, just know that isn’t good. “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is a disastrous movie. Not a disaster movie. Disastrous. There isn’t anything remotely close to a plot and the characters make choices so stupid that you may root

for the giant monsters to actually put an end to humankind. To make matters worse, there’s nary a second of relief and this movie wants you to take it all seriously. The movie begins with some promise as it picks up in the middle of San Francisco’s destruction from the 2014 film, “Godzilla.” During that battle, Dr. Mark Russell (Kyle Chandler) and Dr. Emma Russell’s (Vera Farmiga) young son is killed and it drives them apart. Emma and the couple’s surviving daughter, Madison (Millie Bobby Brown), join up with Monarch, the monster hunting agency that doesn’t seem to report to a specific government and has an endless supply of funding. After Emma and Madison are kidnapped by eco-terrorist Alan Jorah (Charles Dance), the remaining Monarch members bring Mark in to help track them down. Of course, nothing goes right and one by one, giant monsters are

released to then destroy all the major cities on Earth. This leads to an endless amount of monster fights and destruction, while actors like Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Thomas Middleditch, and O’Shea Jackson simply stare upwards, mouths agape and only moving when they are forced to spit out a poorly conceived quip. Bradley Whitford is the only actor who manages to turn his one-dimensional dialogue into something that is somewhat entertaining. Poor Kyle Chandler is so miscast that he whispers his lines as if embarrassed to be saying them. Vera Farmiga is not only stiff as a board, but her character arc is completely preposterous and director/writer Michael Dougherty (along with co-writer Zach Shields) would need years to explain away that mess. Millie Bobby Brown does more of what she does on “Stranger Things”: be put upon

and constantly screaming while under duress. At least the effects and action are top notch, right? Errrr, not so much. The monsters are gorgeous and their detail is truly spectacular, but the fighting becomes repetitive and it loses the sense of urgency by the start of the second hour. The movie tries to build suspense and tension as Godzilla takes beating after beating and is thought dead, but that’s a tough sell considering this thing has “King of the Monsters” in its title. The cool monsters initially carry it, but once that wears off, the ridiculous plot of “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” becomes too much to ignore. By the time all the monsters and characters get together in Boston, there’s little left to care about. To make matters worse, it feels like the movie should have ended three or four times. For a movie this dumb, one ending is all that you really need.

Uncle barky's bites

‘The more things change, the more they stay the same’

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net The Big Four broadcast networks have all announced their new TV season plans. This is the first in a series, starting with top dog CBS. Former CBS sitcom stars Patricia Heaton and Billy Gardell are getting new whirls while a familiar face from cable’s FX, Walton Goggins, moves to a new address this fall. And midseason will bring venerable and venerated Edie Falco to the fold. Number one in primetime total viewers for 11 consecutive seasons, CBS announced that its new fall lineup will have five additions. Entertainment president Kelly Kahl says that some of them “push the boundaries of what you might expect from us.” In other words, nary a straight up new crime hour – at least this fall – for a network that traditionally has loaded up on them. On the downside, the latest cancellation corral is occupied by the “Murphy Brown” reboot, “Life in Pieces,” “The Code,” “Happy Together,” “Fam” and “The Big Bang Theory,” which signed off on May 16 after 12 very gainful seasons. “MacGyver,” which had been Friday’s leadoff hitter since

CBS

Kyle MacLachlan and Patricia Heaton from "Carol's Second Act." its fall 2016 premiere, will have to wait for a midseason berth. Another returning CBS do-over, “Hawaii Five-0,” is taking its spot in September while fellow CBS do-over “Magnum P.I.” moves from Mondays to become the new appetizer for rock solid “Blue Bloods.” Here are CBS’ five new fall series: “Carol’s Second Act” (comedy) – Heaton hopes to breath the rarefied air of three long-running sitcoms after making her name in CBS’ “Everybody Loves Raymond” and then prospering on ABC’s “The Middle.” In this outing, she’s divorcee and retired teacher Carol Kenney, who at age 50 decides to embrace her dream of becoming a doctor. Kyle

MacLachlan of “Twin Peaks” fame co-stars as Dr. Frost. “Bob (Hearts) Abishola” (comedy) – Gardell, formerly of CBS’ “Mike & Molly,” reteams with both the network and ace sitcom creator/producer/ writer Chuck Lorre in this saga of a middle-aged compression sock salesman who falls in love with his cardiac nurse. She’s played by newcomer Folake Olowofoyeku. CBS calls it a “comedic examination of immigrant life in America.” “The Unicorn” (comedy) – A father named Wade (Goggins from “The Shield” and “Justified”) loses his wife and a year later embraces a “new normal” with help of friends and family. He’s surprised to learn he’s

a “unicorn” – employed, good-looking and with a past history of commitment. He also has two adolescent daughters. Rob Corddry (“The Daily Show”/ “Hot Tub Time Machine”) is among the co-stars. “All Rise” (drama) – Newly appointed judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick) pushes boundaries in the midst of legal system chaos. Marg Helgenberger (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) helps to populate the ensemble cast. “Evil” (drama) – A skeptical woman psychologist partners with a carpenter and a “priest-in-training” to investigate the Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, alleged miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings. Is it all perfectly logical or are supernatural forces at work? Katja Herbers, Mike “Luke Cage” Colter and Aasif Mandvi head the cast. Here is CBS’ night-bynight fall lineup: Monday “The Neighborhood” “Bob (Hearts) Abishola” “All Rise” “Bull” Tuesday “NCIS” “FBI” “NCIS: Los Angeles” Wednesday “Survivor”

The show will be a night you don’t want to miss, kicking off at 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the W, with electrifying music and thrilling drag performances, and they’ll be announcing the schedule for the entire month of fabulous events. The W wants you to join them in their support of the LGBTQ+ community and help them campaign, raise money for the issues they believe in and ultimately make your mark in history for this night and month of events. Get your tickets online ahead

of time at bit.ly/wdallaslev. The party most certainly does not stop there though, as the Miller Lite Music Festival will unfold the next morning, Saturday, June 1 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Fair Park. It will be a day full of enthusiasm and love, with a concert series from local bands and designated headliners including Estelle and Ada Fox.

She plays Abigail “Tommy” Thomas, a former high-ranking NYPD officer who

becomes Los Angeles’ first female police chief. “FBI: Most Wanted” (drama) – This spinoff is headed by Julian McMahon (former co-star of “Nip/ Tuck”) as veteran agent Jess LaCroix, who heads a crack team of pursuers.

This is one of those dishes that can be a shared appetizer, a side or even a vegetarian main. Featuring the ever-popular cauliflower, the recipe produces not just the final dish but accompanying pesto and lemonlaced Greek yogurt. Of course, the pesto works well on pasta, for which it was created. And the yogurt could be a great dip for fresh veggies. THE SHERATON DALLAS ROAST CAULIFLOWER WITH BASIL PESTO AND LEMON GREEK YOGURT 1 large head of cauliflower 1 large lemon cut in half 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper or to taste 1 cup Basil Pesto (see recipe) 1/2 cup roasted pine nuts 2 cups (or as desired) Lemon Greek Yogurt (see recipe) 1/4 cup (equal parts) chopped fresh parsley, rosemary and thyme Heat oven to 375 F. Rinse and trim the cauliflower. Cut into florets, approximately 6 cups. Pat dry as needed. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt and pepper. Onto a large, rimmed baking sheet, spread cauliflower evenly. Place lemon halves cut side up on the roasting pan. Roast until cauliflower is fork tender and lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove cauliflower from oven and transfer to large bowl. Add pesto and toss to evenly coat the florets. Add pine nuts and carefully blend. Reserve roasted lemon

halves. In a large, shallow bowl or on a medium platter, spread an even layer of Lemon Greek Yogurt. Place mound of cauliflower in the center. Garnish with chopped herbs and lemon halves. Makes 6 servings. THE SHERATON LEMON GREEK YOGURT 1 (32-ounce) container of Greek yogurt Juice of 2 lemons, freshly squeezed and strained Grated rind (zest) of 2 lemons 1 teaspoon coriander 1 teaspoon salt or to taste In a large mixing bowl using a whisk, combine yogurt, lemon juice, zest, coriander and salt.

Sandia Tram is quite a ride

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com I am riding on the longest tramway in the U.S., third longest in the world, truly an engineering marvel. I’m taking the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway to the top

of Sandia Mountain outside Albuquerque, N.M. With two towers on the trip between base and top, the tram has the second longest unsupported span in the world. From the top of the mountain you can look down and be unable to even see the

closest tower. The trip takes about 15 minutes each way, and a tram leaves about every 20 to 30 minutes. On my tram ride, a workman rode on top of the tram to check the cables. The tram stopped at both towers to let the workman off where he checks the cables daily as part of the safety routine. I felt a lot safer riding the tram in the U.S. than I would in other parts of the world. The tram travels over the mountainous Cibola National Forest. The mountains can be very windy. When the wind stirs up, the tram does not operate. At the top, it can be very chilly, even in the summer. I rode in late May, and there were plenty of fresh snow patches around. The mountains take on a pinkish tone during the right sunlight due to a mineral in the rocks on the mountain, thus the name of the mountains: Sandia or “watermelon” in Spanish. Golden eagles, hawks, deer, bobcats and bears are among the wildlife known to be spotted from the tram. Once at top, during the season, you can ski down the other side of the mountain. During May, you can see several mothballed chair

lifts that operate in conjunction with the skiing side of the mountain in season. At top, there are a number of walking trails. One of these trails goes to a lookout point built by the people that constructed the tram. You see it in the distance as your tram rides past it. Originally built in wood, it caught fire and burned to ground. Rebuilt in wood, it was again destroyed. The second rebuild was with metal which has withstood its harsh environment. Campers can get inside in an emergency, such as a blizzard. Riding the tram isn’t cheap, $25 roundtrip per person, with discounts for seniors, military and children. There is also a charge for parking at the base of the tram. If you happen to ride to the top and then the tram operations are stopped for high winds, preventing you from descending, there is a road that goes to the top (albeit bumpy). The tramway will send a bus to rescue you once the wait for the winds to die down reaches two hours. The road to the top takes about one hour from the base and is used by skiers who want to avoid the high cost of the tram. A new restaurant with

MICHAEL WALD

The cable car at the top. a breathtaking view is being built at the summit. At the base, another restaurant, Sandiago’s — also with a great view, just not as high — operates. The base is over a mile high already, exactly 6,559 feet. The summit is 10,378 feet. Each tram can carry 48 passengers. You can watch the huge cable gears pull the trams. There are locker facilities at the top for those who want to ditch their gear to hike or ski. At the base, you can safely leave a pet in a pet cage, visit a ski museum or buy supplies at a well-stocked gift shop. The tram took two years to build, from 1964 to 1966, including 5,000 helicopter trips during construction of the upper tower where the clearance between the cable and ground is so tight it can be scary. At the time

of construction, the entire project cost $2 million. On the tram’s 50th anniversary, new trams were purchased. The two tram cars themselves cost $1 million. Perhaps the best part of the tram is the quietude and beauty of the view from the summit. You can see the entire city of Albuquerque and part of the Sandia Indian Reservation west of the mountain range. Two hundred and fifty thousand visitors come each year. Judging from the passengers in my tram, many of the visitors are from outside the U.S. Michael Wald is a travel specialist with special expertise in Panama adventure travel.

But simply fixing a software problem is not enough to convince the public to get on board. A recent study by Atmosphere Research Group found that only one in five people surveyed would definitely fly on a Max in the first six months of its return to service. Roughly half said they'd be unlikely to get on board at all. There must also be fixes to flight simulators,

to make artillery shells, as well as abiding by government-managed rationing of food and durable goods such as tires. Americans grew “victory gardens,” lived in shared homes, abided by “black out” restrictions in coastal areas, and hosted events to encourage purchases of war bonds. Millions of Americans flocked to factories to manufacture war materials, including women who replaced men serving in the armed forces, which gave rise to the cultural icon known as “Rosie the Riveter.” After the war, he returned to the states as an instructor. He moved to Dallas in 1960 and became a real estate developer. The average crewman only had a one-in-three chance of completing 25 missions before the addition of

regular fighter escorts helped raise the odds. Half of the U.S. Army Air Force's casualties in World War II were suffered by Eighth Air Force, with more than 47,000 casualties and over 26,000 killed. The 100th Bombardment Group itself lost 785 men who were killed outright or missing in action and 229 aircraft which were destroyed or rendered unsuitable for flight. “For more than 50 years, I couldn’t talk about the war. I wanted to forget it. No one who goes to war comes back the same,” Luckadoo said. “But I got an invitation to speak at an event, and my late wife encouraged me to talk. Now I have this last mission to make Home Front Heroes Day a holiday. I don’t know if I’ll live long enough to see it all happen, but I’m going to do what I

can while I can.” Luckadoo now talks to groups and schools about his experiences, including speaking to cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy. He recently visited Yale University for the graduation of a Cambodian friend that he sponsored. “I’ve been very lucky,” Luckadoo said. Lauren Witt contributed to this story.
