Dropping in at the Kessler

By Joe Ruzicka joe.c.ruzicka@gmail.com The wife and I had the rare chance to head out recently. We jumped at the chance to see one of my favorite country singers, Junior Brown, at the Kessler Theater in Oak Cliff.

Well, maybe it was just me that “jumped” at the opportunity to see Brown.

I think my wife was just happy to get out of the house. Whatever our motivation, we still had a great time at this fantastic live music venue that is a Dallas blast from the past.

If you are a live music fan like me, I recommend you head to the Kessler sometime soon as well.

The Kessler was once one of Dallas’ most popular movie theaters in the 1940s and early ’50s and was owned by country legend Gene Autry during that time. Then, a tornado in 1957 and a fire in 1962 landed a couple of hard blows to the venue. Oak Cliff and single show movie theaters both took a fall in the 1970s and ’80s and the Kessler followed suit. It sat dormant from 1978 to 2009, until Dallas entrepreneur Edwin Cabaniss bought the property and began a full renovation. He did not disappoint.

Peering over the corner of Davis Street and Clinton Avenue, the Kessler’s large neon marquee welcomes patrons off the street with a bright smile from the 1950s. Inside you will find a nice art deco bar with seating for about 10 along with some tables and chairs to accommodate groups for a drink prior to the show. Two levels of seating and plenty of space for mingling before the show are great features for those who want to arrive early. A painting of Oak Cliff’s own, Stevie Ray Vaughan, hangs on the back wall of the main floor.

I have been to several live music venues around the country and the Kessler stands pretty tall among them. My true test for a music venue is how does it sound? So many

Not a rally-killer — see Michael Jordan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Vin Diesel and Howie Mandel, er, not Howie Mandel – but men go to expensive extremes to restore their dome hair. A transplant can cost between $10,000 and $25,000. It is a $25 billion industry worldwide. When a close friend of

mine did it, I told him, “Don’t move! I will try to trap it!” He told me to perform a one-person act that to my knowledge no man can perform.

Anyway, turns out that 64 percent of men having hair transplants are disappointed by the results according to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.

I say “Live with it!’ and just go buy a sports car with the money you save by not having to buy combs, shampoo and conditioner … Two events worth nothing from Oct. 12. Fox News stalwart Chris

Wallace turned 72. His famous father Mike may have opened some doors initially, but the younger Wallace has stayed in the room with hard work and smarts. And Wilt Chamberlain died at 63 on the same date in 1999. I saw him play basketball in his later years after he retired.

I got to see Wilt in person at his restaurant in Boca Raton, Fla. He was, to say the least, a tremendously imposing figure. Chamberlain never married. I assume he was too busy with other conquests, er, ventures.

times, the sound engineers think loud is the way to go. Maybe I am old, but volume has never been a true litmus test of sound quality for me.

At the Kessler, the venue is small with only seating for about 300. There is also a concert etiquette reminder asking patrons to follow the lead of the other concert goers. This basically means clap if they are clapping, shout if they are shouting or Joe Ruzicka just listen if they are listening. The size and crowd behavior lend itself to a more intimate setting and thus a more intimate sound.

Thankfully, the artists, sound engineers and concert goers all understand this and help make it an enjoyable music experience for everyone. The only exception on our night was some guy in the back who had a few too many Budweisers before the show. There’s always one, right?

My recommendation is to purchase balcony seating. From the second level, the seats have an unobstructed view directly to the artist at no less than 50 feet from the stage. The chairs are a bit more comfortable, with high backs and decent cushioning compared to the small fold out chairs on the floor. The crowd spacing is more generous on the second level as well, with plenty of space between you and the next patron. Just arrive early as those seats are first come, first served.

If you do get there early, try some of the tamales, chips and queso or elotes, which is a tasty concoction of Mexican corn in a cup with cheese and lime. Just don’t have too many Budweisers, or you will stick out like a sore thumb.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL

Navy pilot was in the (micro) chips

By Wayne Swearingen This is another story of one of the interesting people I have met, living on the Katy Trail. It seems I have gotten to know several Navy pilots in recent years and Bob Derby is one of those. Here is his story.

Derby was born in Shanghai, China in 1938. His father was a salesman for an American chemical products firm, traveling in Asia.

His parents were forced to leave Shanghai in 1941 because of the Japanese war with China, prior to World War II. The family settled in the San Francisco area where Derby was schooled and became an Eagle Scout. Summers were spent harvesting grain on farms in Oregon.

At 16, Derby joined the U. S. Naval Reserve, remembering stories told by his godfather in China who was a Navy friend of his parents. At age 17, his only application was to the Naval Academy, where he was finally accepted. Upon graduation, he was handed his diploma by then President John F. Kennedy.

During his eight years in the Navy, he served on ships and

submarines then became a Navy pilot, flying attack fighters for five years. His one combat tour was in Vietnam (Tonkin Gulf). In 1968, Derby was discharged from the Navy where he had received solid “real world training.”

His first civilian job was with Texas Instruments (TI) here in Dallas including marketing roles in the new “Integrated Circuit Division.” TI also offered the opportunity to work two years in Australia. After returning to Dallas, he was offered a job with a new company, Intel, as marketing manager for the new Microprocessor Division. He then moved to Intel Japan, where he finished his 12-year Intel career.

Derby was now ready to venture into his own businesses. Always in the role of “sales and marketing,” he helped start five companies from 1988 through 2003. These were Weitek, Cyrix, Neomagic, Veridicom and Ethertronics. All were successful, including three IPO’s and two M&A’s.

In 2003, Derby formed Derby Enterprises, LLC, whose purpose is

Your Stars this Week

by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to present numerous situations that require immediate attention — or at least a promise not to procrastinate. Priorities must be set and at all times observed, otherwise a random, willy-nilly approach will only serve to set one back almost to the point at which progress, or even a restart, becomes virtually impossible. The ability to multitask will prove essential this week.

All must guard against neglecting the self, for that can present unseen dangers which, in their turn, can make this very difficult indeed. It is essential that every individual eat right, stay hydrated and get enough rest; those who try to burn the candle at both ends are sure to encounter difficulties in thought and action that threaten in very serious ways. Emotional health may require some attention this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) A surprise encounter is likely to open up your mind to possibilities you’ve not considered. This can be a turning point — but don’t leave everything behind. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You can be quite cool under almost all circumstances this week.

In fact, the more serious the emergency, the more likely you will be to face it with style.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You’re going to have to combine careful thought with keen instincts this week — especially as you deal with those who don’t understand what burdens you bear. (Nov.

8-Nov. 21) – You may be tempted to insert yourself into a situation that was not of your making, but this can only make things worse.

You’ll get the whole story soon; be patient.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Others are likely to gravitate toward you all week long, but not for the reasons you think. The reality will surprise you when it is revealed. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You are not one for casual interaction this week; you have far too much to do to spend time on that which is not substantial. Stick to that which wins you results!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) An opportunity that presents itself this week may never come around again, and you are eager to see where it can lead. Be ready to make some quick decisions. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be tempted to do things in a way that sends certain signals to the powers that be, but is that really what you want to do? Try staying under the radar this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may have to travel far this week to get what you consider yours by rights. You’ll encounter obstacles, surely — and at least one personal challenge. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – A surprise has you second-guessing yourself this week, but you surely don’t want to drop what you should be doing to take up something that may not be for you. Be smart!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You should find it easier than expected this week to stay on track, but take care that you don’t overlook one key difficulty as the weekend approaches. (March 6-March 20) – You may be surprised to feel a little out of sorts this week, when you had expected to feel settled and confident after making a change in your daily life.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You’ll realize quickly that you are on your own for much of the week. This shouldn’t displease you, as you will be afforded much leeway as you get work done.

(April 5-April 19) – Take care that you don’t overlook the obvious this week as you tend to those things that are more hidden from view. You’ll want to give someone what she needs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You must approach problems that arise in the same way that you approach situations that are routine and expected. Your calm confidence will do the trick. (May 6-May 20) – You are in no need of positive feedback this week, as confidence is high and you are doing what you know how to do. Be sure to accept praise if you receive it, however!

Hammer and Nails

Front the house for Halloween

By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Decorating the front of your home doesn’t have to be scarily expensive. There are some great new ways to make your front yard festive for neighborhood trick-or-treaters. Most of these items are available at amazon.com or at Walmart, but as always, we suggest you trade with local retailers to keep the purchase of family fun in the family.

With current technology, opportunities leap out at you like a haunted house zombie. You can capture the spirit of the spirits with a little creativity.

A popular modern feature is Halloween animatronics that are full of fright and sound. They move and talk and sensors control their uses, which can monitor the amount of scare you want to provide.

You can move them close to trick-or-treaters so that their motion sets off the display and scares the “beegezzers” out of them. Hot right now are animatronic witches, black birds and morbid clowns. We are currently living in the “Joker” era, after all.

A good suggestion is to place one animatron near the sidewalk (a ghost or a tombstone will do), let the immediate startle factor wear off and then have one near the candy bucket. That will get the trick-or-treaters running.

Other high-tech solutions are image projection and fog machines. If you have a blank wall on the front of your home, have it serve as a canvas and project eerie images on the wall. It is quiet, does not require a lot of energy and is unique if you’re secretly trying to one-up the neighbors. And fog machines are simple to operate and mobile.

Because they are temporary in nature, I like to Stephan Sardone use ancillary front yard decorations that are simple and inexpensive. Replace your yard lights with Halloween-colored lamps. Windows are easy to decorate with white shoe polish or non-permanent markers. Gravestone mock-ups enhance the spookiness to the yard. And spider webs can be sprayed on to trees and front porches for added effect. Leave the 10-foot inflatable with the electric air pumps for the owners of large front lawns in the Park Cities or for the rooftops of used car lots.

And if your handyman or handywoman urges take over, consider building a spooky trestle as an entryway to the porch and ultimately to the candy.

Cover the trestle in fake dead flowers, crows, spiders and signs. And then clean up the trestle and use it in the back yard. Plant wandering ivy or other crawling plants to add ambiance.

Want to get a little gory? Add skeletons, severed body parts with fake blood or gargoyles and spread them throughout the landing area. If you have a fence, turn it into a scary “Do not enter” area with signs. A well-placed animatron on the other side of the gate will reward the curiosity seekers.

Put a skeleton or a fake dead body in a hammock near the sidewalk. Garden flags with spooky images or messages are a small, simple way to add some Halloween to your outdoor décor and easy to retrieve and stow on Friday, Nov. 1 unless you want to continue with a “Day of the Dead” celebration.

Place a Halloween wreath on the front door.

Of course, don’t forget the pumpkins. Carving is a great family activity and you can roast the pumpkin seeds to create a healthy snack.

Finally, add a simple doormat (rubber is easier to clean) to the entryway that says “Boo!” or has another Halloween message. The porch is also a good place to keep the “Boo-ze,” as thirsty parents might enjoy a seasonal beer from a local craft brewery.

CANDY'S DIRT

This recently renovated Mediterranean home, located at 4525 Catina Lane, is valued at $4.49 million. Left: Before.

Right: After.

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com This beautiful luxury Mediterranean home almost hit the auction block. I’m going to tell you why it didn’t and how it was transformed into a Candy Evans house that will knock your socks off.

But first, let’s talk about why there are so many luxury properties sitting on the market.

Guess what? It’s not the price point. We have plenty of money in this city. It’s because no buyer wants to update, especially when their wallet can easily tolerate building a new home to their exact specifications.

I took a quick look at realtor.com. It revealed so many properties more than $3 million that had been sitting there for more than a year that I lost count. Almost every single one had the same problems.

Listen to me. Buyers will not update your property regardless of price point. They won’t paint it and they won’t remove your heavy, expensive custom draperies. They will be distracted by your taste-specific artwork. The majority will be offended by your trophy animal heads. What they will do is walk away and tell their realtor to show them something move-in ready.

If your property was built eight to 10 years ago, you have some work to do. If it was built 20 or 30 years ago, you have a lot of work to do. Styles change, tastes change, and buyers have zero time to deal with updates. So, fix it.

Or go to auction.

Now that may not be a bad thing if you are cash poor or your home is in a trust, although I’m floored by any banker that does not do the math on properly preparing a home for market versus lowering the price millions of dollars. Yep, they do that.

This luxury Mediterranean is a perfect example of doing the exact right things to sell a home. It’s because the investor listened to his realtor. And that realtor is one of the sharpest young men in the business today, Allie Beth Allman’s Alex Perry.

“When I walked into this luxury Mediterranean, I saw the bones of the home were great,” Perry said. “The grounds were incredible. I knew it could be transformed into a property our buyer base would love.”

Perry snagged it for an investor client before it went to auction. The great thing about building credibility with a client is that they not only trust you to have their best interests at heart. They also don’t need to monitor or second guess your efforts.

Trust is a great thing.

“We have the resources that can take care of a remodel quickly,” Perry said. “They took 12 weeks to do what most would take six months to complete.” Perry tapped Hudson Construction Group and Pemberton Interiors to transform this luxury Mediterranean.

You can see from the before and after photos that so much of this was truly simple. Paint cures almost all ills and you can never go wrong with white. Before you say it’s boring, tell a builder that. You must follow builder trends if you want buyers.

Two things that created the most impact, and that people always consider they cannot afford (they can), were changing out the heavily scrolled ironwork staircase for a fresh modern approach and redesigning the fireplaces. No one likes the curly ironwork any longer, so the front door was replaced as well.

The one item every stager in the universe will advise is painting wood-stained kitchens. This is one of the most cost-effective updates at any price point. The ROI is off the charts. If they don’t get it, walk away because they are going to be more trouble than they are worth.

Perry now had a gorgeous 9,676-square-foot beauty, fully updated and ready to go, but there was one more element to add. People generally are visually challenged to see any price point home as their own if they cannot figure out where their furniture should be placed. Perry called in George Bass of George Bass Stage & Design.

“More than 50 percent of homeowners in the Metroplex could do some creative upgrades on their homes and they would be worth a lot more on today’s market,” Bass said. “Hudson Construction Group hit the nail on the head. They made the property relevant for today’s buyer and competitive with new construction. Our challenge was to keep up with the makeover.”

Bass saw the property about three weeks before completion, which is not a lot of time to pull off a custom staging because they require some custom pieces. Bass used Peninsula and had Uphold Designs do custom work. “Paco Gomez is the next star when it comes to upholstery,” Bass said. “He has an incredible sense of style.” Accessories came from Bryan Eggert at Freedom Design and art from the Keith Johnson and Robert Koerth Galleries.

“The property location and structure are wonderful,” Bass said. “It’s an incredible house for entertaining but also very secluded and private. We wanted to create an easy California lifestyle in the heart of Texas, and this came together seamlessly because it’s a wonderful house.

It was a joy to work on and to have such creative freedom.”

If you’d like to see this luxury Mediterranean at 4525 Catina Lane, give Perry a call. At $4.49 million, we think this one will move fast.

ROOM TO GROW

Starting with drapes and curtains

By Margaret Chambers When it comes to home decorating, choosing window treatments can be one of the most daunting parts of the process.

Even when you know exactly what you want, finding drapery in the size and color you need is tricky. On the other hand, you might feel like there are just too many options to choose from.

If you could use some ideas on where to begin, read on.

The first step to choosing window treatments is to decide on whether you want 'hard' or 'soft' window treatments.

Hard treatments include blinds, shades and shutters, while soft treatments include drapes and curtains. This article will focus on the different kinds of soft treatments available and how you can choose the perfect styles for your home. I'll be covering hard treatments in a follow-up article.

Curtains and drapes are used synonymously by many people, but actually have different definitions. Curtains are usually unlined, opened and closed by hand and can run to any length. They are also attached to the rod by tabs or rings. Drapes, which are more formal, are lined, often run from the top of the window to the floor and are operated with a cord. Unlike curtains, drapes are hooked onto slides that run up and down the rod.

Once you’ve decided on the kind of soft window treatment you’d like, you'll need to decide on color, fabric, length and hardware. If you are buying your own fabric, see if the store will let you take home a swatch. By bringing back a swatch, you can test how the texture of the fabric will look in the light of your space. Remember that patterns will look very different in person than they will in a sample image.

trellis and stripe patterns when you shop. Valances are not as common as they used to be, but can still be useful for softening the look of an otherwise undecorated window, hiding hardware or adding color to a set of blinds.

The latest trend in hardware is to use small finials and thin rods made of metal for a more understated look. Pinch pleats have always been a classic choice, but looser pleats and inverted box pleats are popular for contemporary homes.

Even after exploring all of your options at the fabric store, you may find it difficult to get the exact color and sizes you need.

MULL IT OVER

College players demand ‘Show me the money’

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com Jason Lambert is president, CEO and portfolio manager of Northwest Financial and Tax Solutions and author of the upcoming book, The Retirement Trailhead. He has believed that big money and big-time college sports have been entwined for some time. “If that [the NCA A] were a business, I would definitely invest in it. It’s a unique business model.”

That assumption may have changed recently when California passed a first-of-its-kind law that will allow student athletes to hire agents and make money on endorsement deals, something the NCA A actively opposes.

California’s new law, along with discussions about paying college players, may lead to fiery debates among sports fans, but there’s no denying that sports are a profitable undertaking for many universities. In fact, Lambert said that if college sports were a stock, a lot of people might add the NCA A to their portfolios.

“You have some top college football programs that bring in well over $100 million in revenue with a 50 percent profit margin,” Lambert said,

TEXAS A&M

Texas A&M makes a reported $94 million profit annually on athletics. who attended Auburn University. As a financial planner, he said it’s also hard to miss just how big of a business college sports can be. “Some schools are making an insane amount of money on their sports teams.”

ESPN college football analyst, practicing attorney and longtime friend Rod Gilmore (who played football and baseball at Stanford) has long been a proponent of the NCA A recognizing a player’s right to be compensated for their likeness and their major contributions

to the financial coffers of universities based on their play. Gilmore said, “’Amateurism.’ We’ve moved so far away from the original mission of athletics on campus that it’s silly to try and defend it now. CFB [major college football] is firmly a business and part of the entertainment industry.

“Personally, I believe that the amateur model is dead and the NCA A should stop trying to resuscitate it,” Gilmore said. “The courts have weighed in and criticized

the way everyone makes money off this $14 billion per year industry except the players. One federal court wrote that the players are getting a bad bargain, and the NCA A’s definition of ‘amateur’ (no pay for play) means nothing since the NCA A already allows pay in certain instances and in certain sports, such as Olympians receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars for winning a medal in the Olympics, bowl gifts, payment of insurance premiums for players, etc. In short,

‘amateurism’ means whatever the NCA A wants it to mean when it suits its purpose.”

Two Texas teams are atop the Forbes annual list of the 25 most valuable teams in college football. The top 5 bring in $1.5 billion in profits on revenues of $2.7 billion. Topping the list is Texas A&M, which had revenue of $147 million and a profit of $94 million, followed by Texas, Michigan, Alabama and Ohio State.

Television contracts have long been lucrative

for college sports, but nothing like today when colleges and the NCA A don’t have to rely exclusively on the major networks. “Look at the top two teams on that Forbes list,” Lambert said. “The Texas Longhorns have their own TV network.

Texas A&M is part of the SEC, which has its own TV network.”

Following the Olympics model, California governor Gavin Newsom recently signed a bill that would allow college athletes to hire agents and make money from endorsements. The law is due to take effect in 2023.

Athletes applauded the move. Inf luential Duke head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski is siding with the players.

“We must adapt,” Coach K said. Needless to say, the NCA A and major universities are firmly against it, believing that a college scholarship is enough compensation.

“Scholarships are valuable and great,” Lambert said. “But something is going to have to change when you see the money that is coming in to these programs.”

It appears that the change has come, when more investments will be in the student athlete and not all going to the NCA A and their high-profile teams.

Bentley Motors celebrates its centennial of classic luxury cars

BENTLEY MOTORS

A classic 1929 Bentley.

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net Walter Owen (W.O.) Bentley, born in 1888, had a low regard for automobiles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But then, who didn’t? Less than one generation removed from horse-drawn propulsion, the horseless carriage was distinctly agrarian, notoriously unreliable.

Rapid mechanization in World War I would lead to wholesale improvements in

engineering and metallurgy.

According to Wikipedia, it was Bentley’s promotion of aluminum pistons, replacing cast iron or steel, that punched his ticket to the Big Leagues.

That recognition supported the Bentley Motors start-up in 1919, its first test of the Bentley 3 Liter in 1920, and Bentley’s first production delivery in 1921. For the British carmaker, whose liquidated assets were acquired by Rolls-Royce in the depths of the Depression and are now owned by Volkswagen, it’s been a long and winding

road.

On that road, there has been any number of historical benchmarks. For those believing competition improves the breed, Bentley’s wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, beginning in 1924 and continuing in consecutive years from 1927 through 1930, cemented the carmaker’s reputation for both high speed and endurance.

Campaigned during those years by the Bentley Boys, the drivers captivated the world’s attention almost as much as the cars themselves. “The

movie trailer

Star power makes ‘Zombieland Double Tap’ worthy sequel

Sony Pictures Releasing

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone star in “Zombieland Double Tap.”

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood Here’s an interesting fact. The 2009 “Zombieland” was the highest grossing zombie-themed movie of all time until 2013. That’s when “World War Z” and Brad

Pitt’s flowing locks overtook it and “Zombieland” was destined to be a well-received, yet forgotten comedy.

Then “The Walking Dead” happened. Its popularity has brought a decade long deluge of zombie-related entertainment and most

of it is garbage. Thankfully, that means there’s a load of material for writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and Dave Callaham to satirize in “Zombieland Double Tap,” a sequel that somehow manages to be equal-parts necessary and unnecessary.

The sequel picks up 10 years after the first ended and this dysfunctional family unit has not only continued to survive the zombie apocalypse, they’ve moved into the White House.

Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and Wichita (Emma Stone) have been a couple, but one of them is experiencing commitment issues. Their relationship is easily the weakest aspect of the entire movie, especially believing that the fear of commitment reared

its head after a decade.

The more interesting dynamic comes from Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). Little Rock isn’t a little girl anymore and she naturally wants to flee the nest, which brings out the absurdity in Tallahassee’s parent-by-default. Once Little Rock runs off, “Double Tap” becomes a character driven, dialogue-heavy road comedy with clever banter and goofy zombie action.

There are a handful of new characters and none of them have the hilarious impact of Zoey Deutch’s Madison. She’s ditzy, literal, and a complete breath of fresh air. It’s a miracle that someone that dumb has survived a death plague for 10

years, but that only adds to just how smart this zombie satire truly is.

Rosario Dawson, Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch show up in what are limited to extended cameos along with a certain comedic legend that clearly has no problem in mocking his IMDB resumé. The addition of Avan Jogia as Berkeley, a pacifist hippie, allows for Tallahassee to riff on the insane ideal that someone could remain peaceful in such a violent world.

Ruben Fleischer, who gave us the campy “Venom,” returns to direct and this becomes his second best feature, ranked just under the initial “Zombieland.” The clever usage of Columbus’ rules for survival are

frequent and applied with hilarious results. Fleischer does piece together a fun sequence inside a motel that neighbors Graceland, which is another plot development designed so Harrelson can, for lack of better words, get his Elvis on.

“Zombieland Double Tap” is most definitely fan service, but it’s not a cash grab. It’s extremely cool that four Academy Award nominated actors (and one winner in Stone) all came back to star in such a low-budget goofy spoof and that’s easily the most charming aspect of the movie. These actors could do this in their sleep, but any attempts to make this some kind of bizarro franchise should stop right here.

Uncle barky's bites

Local weatherman sees light above storms

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net Carrie Underwood likes to vary her concert performances. But she’s acknowledged that one particular song is essential. Paying customers might collectively damn her to hell if she didn’t perform “Jesus Takes the Wheel.” So she always does.

In this ongoing year of numerous exits from DallasFort Worth TV newsrooms, at least three of the departed likewise have left their devil’s workshops (we kid because we love) to go with God fulltime. Pray tell, who are they?

The most recent is longtime CBS11 meteorologist Jeff Jamison, who spent 16 years there before answering a higher calling early this month. During his homestretch at the station,

Jamison had been doing the weather segments on weekend evenings while also working some weekdays on the 4 p.m. newscasts. But heat waves, cold fronts and pollen counts finally gave way to his inner desire to serve a higher master. So Jamison is now a paid staffer at the Village Church in Fort Worth.

“This is our church home and I couldn’t be more grateful,” Jamison said in a social media post. “God has led me to this new vocation and I’m humbled and excited to see how He will continue to move in our city.

Would love your prayers for my family and me in this new season.”

In mid-summer, fellow meteorologist and kindred spirit Colleen Coyle made a surprise decision to leave

WFAA8 after a nine-year tenure.

Via an emotional Facebook video, Coyle said she’d come to realize that her true identity is “found in Christ,” not with her job at WFAA8. “Putting our trust in the Lord won’t make our life perfect, but it will let a perfect savior lead our life.

I’ve been walking through the same door for nine years, and it is so scary to walk through a new one.”

Coyle and her husband recently adopted a girl who’s on the verge of being a teenager. Opting to spend more time with her “has been a really, really tough decision,” she said. “And know that it’s been done with so much thought and fierce prayer.”

For now, she’s “keeping all doors open . . . Who knows, it may be TV one day

again. I have no idea, but I know that God’s got this.”

Coyle has another soulmate in former weekend PM anchor and weekday reporter Kristin Dickerson, who left NBC5 in July after a three-year stay to embark on a “storytelling faith walk” with her husband.

“We’ll travel to some of the most spiritual places in the world to learn about the commonality among people of various faiths and backgrounds – and we plan to share their stories and our journey with you,” Dickerson said in a Facebook post.

All the details of their “platform” (YouTube, podcasts, sharing videos in churches, etc.) are still being worked out. But Dickerson knew for certain that she and her husband will begin their journey with “walking

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

Peanut butter and jelly chicken wings take flight

CHEF CASSY JONES

Chef Cassy Jones.

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Chef Cassy Jones’ fried collard greens got her a booth on the State Fair Midway in 2013. This year, she introduced peanut butter and jelly fried chicken wings.

“I wanted to have a kid-friendly menu item,” Jones said, “and kids of all ages love PB&J and fried chicken so I thought ‘why not put them together?’ I melt the jelly and peanut butter and drizzle it over the chicken straight from the fryer.” This year Jones is at booth

number FW25 outside of the Midway, near the base of the Top o’ Texas Tower ride. Get there fast. The State Fair closes on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Jones’ State Fair dishes express her culinary vision: “traditional Southern dishes with a modern twist,” a blend of her “country roots and urban influences.” Her catering menus also reflect that inspiration. A few items on her catering menu include fried green wonton pockets stuffed with collard greens, cream cheese and ham; honey pecan glazed chicken wings; catfish topped with a remoulade sauce and, in her words, “my out-of-thisworld” grilled pork chops.

Chef Jones is one of those folks who loved to cook and made the leap from amateur to professional at age 40 when she went to culinary school after years of operating her own daycare. "I have a daughter in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy, so I ran my daycare for 15 years," Jones said. "I took children that had different medical issues because regular daycares wouldn't accept them."

Fried collard greens remain Jones’ bestselling item at the State Fair. She sells more than 5,000 orders per day during the Fair. Her deep-fried alligator egg was a finalist in the 2015 Big Tex Choice Awards. The dish blends alligator meat with Monterey jack cheese, chopped jalapeños, onions and garlic. Shaped into balls, the mixture is then rolled in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Served on a “nest” of shoestring potatoes, the orbs are drizzled with spicy remoulade sauce.

Jones has also broken into television. Her infectious laugh and Southern charm landed her as a contestant on an episode of food celebrity Guy Fieri's grocery store-themed game show, “Guy’s Grocery Games” on the Food Network, and she appeared on an episode of the Cooking Channel’s “Carnival Eats.”

Besides her annual State Fair of Texas gig and catering, Jones offers private chef services. As long as she’s cooking, Jones is happy with what she does. “They say if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life,” she laughs. “Making others happy through cooking brings me such joy. I get tremendous satisfaction seeing the reaction people have when they eat my food.”

Given her success at the Fair, Jones seems to have cracked the code to what makes a dish a best seller. It goes without saying that State Fair faves have to be fried. Beyond that? “The State Fair of Texas is about food, fun and family so I always try to keep those 3F's in mind when I am developing my menu,” Jones said.

For Jones, a food booth at the State Fair of Texas is all about the instant gratification of watching customers enjoy her food. And hungry Fair goers come back for more year after year.

recipe of the week

Fry it, then try it

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The basic recipe for State Fair of Texas food concessions success is “fry it.”

Chef Cassy Jones has the basics down pat and is willing to share THE recipe for one of her State Fair creations, Peanut Butter and Jelly Fried Chicken Wings.

She developed the dish for this year’s Fair. “I am obsessed with PB&J and I love chicken wings,” Jones explains. “I thought it would be a fun twist to marry these together and create something fun that kids of all ages would love.”

It’s a three-step process: brine, batter and fry. The defining touch is to drizzle fried wings with sauce made of peanut butter and grape jelly.

A note about the brining liquid. The recipe calls for pickling salt, a very fine grained and pure salt. The grains dissolve quickly, making this kind of salt good for making brines. Pickling salt doesn't contain iodine or anti-caking agents like table salt.

CHEF CASSY JONES’ PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY FRIED CHICKEN WINGS

Remove wings from brine and pat dry.

Combine granulated garlic, Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blend, seasoning salt and onion powder. Sprinkle over chicken on all sides.

Place 4 wings in seasoned flour. Shake to coat all sides.

Repeat until all wings have been floured. Don’t crowd the bag.

In a large skillet over medium high heat or in a deep fryer, heat 3 inches of oil to 350 F. Working in batches, fry chicken 8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Place fried wings on a rack to drain. Keep warm.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, jelly, butter and soy sauce to melt ingredients. Blend well. Drizzle over freshly fried chicken. Top with peanuts and serve.

Brine: In a large plastic container with lid, combine 4 tablespoons pickling salt and 2 tablespoons sugar with 6 cups water. Stir to dissolve. Place chicken wings into the brine.

Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Seasoned flour: In a medium paper or large plastic bag, combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blend, 1 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Shake to blend.

2 pounds chicken wings, brined (see below) 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blend 1 teaspoon seasoning salt 1 teaspoon onion powder Seasoned flour (see below) Oil for frying 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 1/2 cups grape jelly CHEF CASSY JONES 4 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons soy sauce Peanut Butter and Jelly Fried Chopped roasted peanuts Chicken Wings.

Volcanic city of Santorini warm in many ways

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com The island of Santorini, Greece, also known as Thera (or sometimes Thira in translation), was formed by volcanic activity, much like Hawaii. The last large volcanic eruption happened in 1646 B.C. The island consists mostly of large soft volcanic rock throughout.

Locals build their homes, called cave homes, into the side of the volcanic rock. Once a home was built, the next home would be built on top of the previous one.

You see swimming pools in the back yards of one home that seem to be in the front yard of MICHAEL WALD another. There are several cities on Santorini island, but all A seaside walk down to the hotel entrance. of them have the same distinguishing characteristic: whiteisland. Santorini has recently taken washed homes and churches with blue steps to regulate the number of cruise painted domes (meant to imitate heavships that it will accept in a day, but the en) dotting the mountaintop formed by island survives on tourism. a volcanic caldera.

their hotels. Oia, another city on the northern tip of the island, is prettier and much smaller, but the same general description applies — again, the main street emanates from an Orthodox church in the main square.

On the top of the mountain, roads for cars have been built to connect the cities. You can get from some ports by car to the top of the mountain. Once there, roads connect one city to another.

One of the interesting aspects of the city of Thera is that there is no road from its port to the mountaintop where the city is located. You have three choices to ascend and descend. A cable car has been built, but it only takes 36 people each way, each run. With thousands of cruise ship passengers needing its service, that may take hours waiting in line. Another option is to take a switchback road with 600 steps. You can do this on foot or by mule. If you do it by foot, you give right of way to the mules and keep an eye out for their droppings.

Getting between top and bottom of the mountain in Thira is a unique experience, no matter which method you use.

Shops on Thera island sell tourist souvenirs, leather goods and local foods such as local sweet wine and gelato.

There are many great restaurants, bars and coffee shops. It’s a hip scene like an upscale beach town, only there is no beach. For a swim in the refreshing waters of the Aegean Sea, you’ll want water shoes to protect yourself from the sharp volcanic rock that surrounds the island.

of Color.”

The October 10 event was an evening of penetrating honesty — sometimes brutal honesty — hosted by the museum as part of its Civil Discourse series. This night was moderated by The Dallas Morning News staff writer Cassandra Jaramillo.

The panel’s conversation was wide-ranging, from police department cultures and the fates of people of color who are confronted by that culture, to the role of citizen oversight boards and the need for national law enforcement reform.

It was a civil, but sometimes very angry, examination of a difficult and intractable social dilemma.

It began with a raw admission from a police officer when Chief Moore admitted that police brutality was a real, not imagined, problem. So was bias and judgement of people of color. He admitted to one questioner that, as a black man, he had been racially profiled when pulled over by police. He reacted to them without regard of his professional status by doing exactly what he knew would least antagonize those officers: he placed both his hands out the car window so they could see them.

“My entire family has had issues with law enforcement,” he said.

Dr. Williams, recalling his tenure on the review board, said that residents on the north side of Dallas viewed the police as protectors. But on the south side, they were seen as enforcers.

“A lot of folks see them as enforcers, not protectors,” he said. “We

cannot discount what they feel.”

But along with recognizing the divides was the recognition of unity in pursuing similar goals, even if they emerge from different experiences.

“The system is not functioning for what it was created,” Mokuria said. She believes expanding social services is the best way to deal with mental health issues, domestic disturbances and homelessness, all circumstances in which citizens call the police for assistance even though these situations are generally beyond the role of law enforcement.

Chief Will Johnson agreed in a much more direct way, suggesting that systemic change across the entire criminal justice process is sorely needed. “If we’re not looking systematically, we’ll always be focused on the conflict,” Johnson said, offering that people need to look closely at the work of the judiciary and legislatures, and address issues like truth in sentencing and recidivism.

Dr. Williams believes a lot of the progress made by the police review board, which he called “the common ground between neighborhood and police,” was lost in the recriminations of the Guyger trial.

The result, he said, was that the situation in the community could become much more volatile.

Which is essentially what happened later that evening in the auditorium.

Mokuria turned to Chief Johnson and asked him about the death of Treshun Miller, a 20-year-old man who was killed in a shootout with Arlington police. Miller died and one officer was

seriously wounded. She asked what it was about the culture of his department that would make a young black man decide to flee from officers at a traffic stop. Johnson defended his officers, noting that the wounded officer was yet to return to work.

“I grieve over a kid dying, but I don’t want my cop shot, either,” Chief Johnson said.

It was at that point that Treshun Miller’s mother stood up and, in a fit of grief and anger, shouted questions and profanity-laced accusations at the chief, brining the room to an uncomfortable silence before she was led out of the auditorium by the police.

It was a jarring moment in an otherwise civil discourse, but it aroused the feelings of audience members on both sides of the issue for the rest of the evening. As audience members began shouting questions, museum president and CEO Mary Pat Higgins came on stage and brought the event to a quick and dignified end. She recognized that civil discourse on a subject as volatile as law enforcement and communities of color is hard.

“It takes practice,” Higgins said.

“Keep coming back and we’ll all work on this together.”

There may be lots of opportunities for practice in the not-so-distant future.

Two days after the Holocaust Museum discussion, a 28-yearold Fort Worth woman, Atatiana Jefferson, was killed by a Fort Worth police officer responding to a welfare call.

She was shot through the bedroom window of her home.
