Michigan State players pose for pictures with patient Bethania Huchin, 12, of San Antonio. On Monday, players, coaches and staff from Michigan State — in town to face Baylor in Thursday’s Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic — visited Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC). The Spartans signed T-shirts, posters, stuffed Goodyear blimps and took pictures with the patients in the hospital Atrium. Select players will also spend time on the third floor patient wing for those children who are unable to come to the Atrium. TSRHC is one of the nation's leading pediatric centers for the treatment of orthopedic conditions and certain related neurological disorders and learning disorders. — David Mullen
Red Cross out for blood

January is National Blood Donor Month. The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors to make a resolution to give blood regularly in 2015, beginning with National Blood Donor Month in January. National Blood Donor Month recognizes the importance of giving blood and platelets, while honoring those who roll up a sleeve to help patients in need. It has been observed during January since 1970, and that’s no coincidence. Winter is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet patient needs. Unpredictable winter weather can result in blood drive cancellations and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, may cause some donors to be unable to make or keep blood donation

Dallas goes through an estimated one million singleuse bags every day. That’s about to change. A new ordinance takes effect this month and will encourage people to bring their own reusable bags to grocery stores or restaurants. Those who don’t will pay a price. If a shopper forgets to bring a bag, they’ll be punished by paying 5 cents or have the option of buying a reusable sack. “This is meant to reduce the sheer number of single-use bags that are distributed here in the city of

Environment, said. “Our feeling so far is that
the retailers will continue to use … but just the feeling on the street [is] why does that need to be in a bag anyway.” Kroger shopper Jeanette Swinney says she’s not a big supporter of the bag ordinance. “The only thing I have against is I use it to line my waste paper basket at home.” Her son, Chris Swinney isn’t sure about the ban either. “I still think it’s cheaper to have plastic. It’s going to be the same thing.” Bottom line is today you must bring your own bags or be prepared to pay a nickel to help the city clean-up litter.
THEATRE
Playwright takes on a different director role
By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
In the winter of 2013, Dallas audiences were treated to a fresh, engaging and poignant production at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas (CTD) called, “Division Avenue.” It was written by Dallas playwright, Miki Bone, and area audiences and critics were abuzz. The comedic drama is about the struggles involved in breaking free of ages-old family tenets, while reaching for a more modern, mainstream lifestyle. In this case, the traditions are those of a Hasidic Jewish family and community, and a young man, who is torn between his father’s deep loyalty to its beliefs and the possibilities outside its confining walls. Before its Dallas premiere, “Division Avenue” had amassed nine top awards at the Midtown International Theatre Festival in New York among its 61 other productions. Not only did it earn a nod for best play, it also won best production, direction, leading actress, supporting actress, lead actor, ensemble, sound design and marketing/ publicity.

Miki Bone has taken over as managing director of CTD. Then the show was produced by CTD in November through December, 2013 and at the J-Town Playhouse in Jerusalem, Israel, February through March of 2014, where it also earned high acclaim. Now, a year later, Sue Loncar, CTD’s producing artistic director announced the appointment of Miki Bone as its new managing director. Loncar said, “Miki’s a longtime and highly respected member of the Dallas theatre community.” Bone took a break from professional theatre and moved into educational theatre and
playwriting. Loncar added, “Following the success of ‘Division Avenue,’ she’s ready to re-enter theatre full time. Two of her three children are now in college so she has more time to devote to her work.” Asked how she feels about this opportunity, Bone said: “Sue has built a loyal season subscriber base over the past 12 years. She truly believes the artists who work here and the audience are an extension of her family.” When talking about her future plans for the theatre, Bone said: “Because we are blessed with some amazing artists, we’re creating a strategic plan for sharing some of the talents of that pool in different ways with our audience. To that end, CTD will be adding workshops, classes and other performance opportunities on our ‘off’ nights during the season.” A series that’s planned, Monday Night Music Cabaret performances, will take the stage at various intervals throughout the season. In February, CTD will launch another program on select Sunday nights — the Rising Talent Musical Theatre Showcase will help students
ages 14 – 18, who are preparing for college auditions. Bone has more than 30 years of experience in professional and educational theatre. She served for six years as managing director of Actor’s Theatre of Dallas, during which the productions included “School for Scandal” and “Fallen Angels” among others. In Austin, Bone produced “Foxfire” for Actor’s Theatre of Austin and “Close Ties” at Hyde Park Theatre. Bone has taught acting, directing and producing. She’s also directed many working theatre professionals who are now engaged in national tours, theatre and film projects in Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. She has appeared onstage at Shakespeare Festival of Dallas, Dallas Theatre Center, Dallas Children’s Theatre, Pegasus Theatre and Stage West. While living in Austin, Bone performed onstage at Austin Shakespeare Festival, Hyde Park Theatre, Austin 5th Street Theatre, Live Oak Theatre and the Paramount Theatre. A graduate of Dallas’ Ursuline Academy, Bone

SCHOOL BOARD
Agency claims no violation by Dallas Superintendent
By Bill Zeeble/ KERA News
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) said there was no violation of the law in the October incident between Dallas Superintendent Mike Miles and Trustee Bernadette Nutall. That’s when Miles had school security forcibly take Nutall out of Dade Middle School.
The TEA letter was in response to one from the Dallas school board. Board President Miguel Solis says he doesn’t want this issue to linger. “We don’t have much time to deal with this issue moving forward,” Solis said. “We’ve got early childhood education issues, we’ve got the issue of school choice, and things the taxpayers on a consistent basis are asking
us about. So that’s where our focus is going to be.” Solis said he’ll schedule a discussion over the incident during a closed session of an upcoming meeting. The Dallas school board also wanted the TEA to get an opinion from the Attorney Photo by Bill Zeeble/KERA News General over the incident. The agency refused Dallas School Board President Miguel Solis and said the issue’s now will call for a closed session discussion to determine what happens next. closed.

If you set a vague goal (I will exercise more), how will you know whether you’ve achieved it? Instead, answer the 5 W’s: Who? What? When? Where? and Why? By doing this, “I will exercise more” becomes “I will walk for 20 minutes, three times per week in my neighborhood after dinner with my husband to relieve stress.” That’s a better goal. Measurable. Set quantifiable goals that answer the questions “How much/ many?,” “How long?” and/ or “How often?” The exercise goal above addresses how long (20 minutes) and how often (three times per week).

was time to find a new project! “Then, in November, I received a call from a friend while I was laying on the beach in Hawaii. He asked if I had any former students or knew anyone that might be qualified to be a managing director for CTD. I thought about it for about a second and said, ‘yeah, maybe me.’ I texted Sue about the position and found myself shaking off the sand and suddenly texting like a maniac,” she quipped. According to CTD’s new managing director, “I am so excited about our 13th season! Sue has selected an amazing season of shows and directors, and those directors have cast some amazing actors!

Here are the real top local sports stories
By Chris Ackels
Ch.ackels@gmail.com Let’s start by acknowledging that The Dallas Morning News published their top 10 sports stories last week. But here’s the problem: they botched it. The uninspired list was absurdly football-heavy — like most things Morning News — and completely missed some of the area’s top sports stories. So while we give the nod to the Morning News for the idea (since a “top 10” list at New Year’s is such a novel idea), we’re going to make our own improvements. Here, for real, are the top 10 sports stories of 2014: (1) Cowboys return to playoffs after drought They got the first three stories right. This one, while it may not be the most impressive accomplishment (see #4) or the most shocking story (see #2), it undoubtedly had the most people talking. A Cowboys team that was expected to be sub-par this season (this writer predicted 5-11) has turned out to be nothing short of spectacular. A record-breaking season has culminated in a long-awaited return to January football. (2) Ron Washington resigns amid disastrous season The most shocking story of the year broke on Sept. 5, when Rangers manager Ron Washington announced his resignation with less than a month remaining in the season. This started a weeks-long scramble for answers, which eventually yielded an unhappy tale of infidelity. Washington was the Rangers’ winningest manager in franchise history and had been through many ups and downs with the club. (3) TCU and Baylor left out of National Championship mix This story ranks highly because of its national implications, but also because it serves as a reference to standout seasons for the Horned Frogs and the Bears. A couple of 11-1 teams were left out of the conversation despite competing in the nation’s second-best conference. The Big 12 wasn’t penalized for not having a championship game; they were penalized for being the only conference with two legitimate contenders. (4) Dallas-native Jordan Spieth wows at the Masters At just 20 years old, Spieth led the field at Augusta on the final day, holding a two stroke lead on Sunday and firmly stamping his name onto the national golf scene. The Jesuit grad
finished second, becoming the youngest runnerup in Masters history and earned him a spot in the world top 10 rankings. (5) Mavs offseason — and in-season — moves The Mavericks made waves this offseason by bringing in Chandler Parsons and bringing back a few of their championships pieces, namely Tyson Chandler. Then two months into the season they struck again, securing Rajon Rondo in a blockbuster deal that communicated a clear message to Mavs fans: we’re all in this year. (6) Another team returns to the playoffs Their drought was exactly the same amount of years as the Cowboys, and their recent success has been much greater. The Dallas Stars returned to the playoffs in April in Lindy Ruff ’s first season as head coach. Though Dallas had the eight seed and exited in the first round, the Stars firmly established they are back in the conversation again. (7) SMU has comeback season, is snubbed by committee Dallas-area colleges suffered an egregious snub in March as well, as the NCAA Selection Committee refused SMU’s bid for the NCAA Tournament. After beating eventual national champion UConn twice during the year, SMU went on to make the finals of the NIT Tournament and instill hope again in Mustang faithful. (8) DFW hosts the Final Four AT&T Stadium has put Dallas in the conversation for any major sporting event – Super Bowl, Final Four, All-Star Game and the first ever College Football National Championship. April’s Final Four weekend showcased the stadium to one of its biggest audiences. For the first time in Final Four history, the video screen was bigger than the court itself. (9) Clayton Kershaw dominates on the diamond, wins MVP Highland Park grad Clayton Kershaw became the first pitcher in almost 50 years to win the National League MVP award. Kershaw finished the year 21-4 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, including a no-hitter in one of the more masterful pitching performances of all time. Kershaw easily won the Cy Young then took the MVP trophy as well. (10) Dallas Legends reach Hall of Fame Dallas area sports legends were recognized in a few major moments this year. In July, Rangers broadcaster Eric Nadel was honored by the Baseball Hall of Fame with the Ford C. Frick Award. In November, Stars legend Mike Modano was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Both moments recognize Dallas sports legends and gave them the national attention they deserve.

NEW FRIENDS NEW LIFE
Organization helps sexually exploited women and teens and their children. (Kevin Costner will speak at their spring fundraiser.)
By Sally Blanton Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?
A N ew Friends New Life restores and empowers formerly trafficked teen girls and sexually exploited women and their children.
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A 1 00
QW hat percentage amount actually
reaches those in need? 88 percent program services, seven percent general and administration, eight percent fundraising.
A
QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations?
A C ritical needs include volunteers and
professionals offering education, legal, medical and job assistance.
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the calendar?
A T welfth Annual WINGS Luncheon ben-
efiting New Friends New Life on Friday, April 10 at the Hyatt Regency Dallas. Kevin Costner is the keynote speaker and will be interviewed by Gary Cogill. Luncheon Chair is The Honorable Jeanne Johnson Phillips, and Honorary Chairs are Ruth Altshuler and First Lady Laura Bush.
QW hat is your facility like?
A O ur resource center is a haven for those
in need. It is professional and feminine. The computer lab, counseling center, classroom and children’s playroom are inviting areas to come and begin the stabilizing and restoring journey.
QW hat sort of volunteer
jobs are available? You name it … we’ve got
A
it! Our volunteer coordinator is wonderful at assessing talents and gifts and matching those to needs.
Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who
always goes beyond the call of duty?
A N ancy Ann Hunt, 2015-16 Board Chair.
QW hat is difficult about your job?
A T ransformation is not easy. Many times
the chaos and abuse they’ve known since early childhood feels more comfortable than healing and wellness. Watching the caterpillar struggle out of its cocoon is difficult and challenging but necessary to the strength required to live a new life.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A A t New Friends New Life, we talk about
“second chances.” For many of the trafficked girls we serve, that have known nothing but trauma, and we wonder when they got their first chances. The most rewarding part of my work is working as a community to provide those chances for healing, transformation and hope. (And big hugs from the precious kiddos in our program feel pretty good, too.)
Q I n a short paragraph please tell how a specific person or family was helped.
A B rianna was in kindergarten when she
started experiencing episodes of violent sexual abuse from her father. When he was incarcerated for his sex crimes, Brianna moved in with her mother, a drug addict with a series of boyfriends who continued the cycle of abuse. After her experience of abuse and recovery, Brianna wants to get this message out about at-risk and sex-trafficked girls, “We are not bad. We went through certain things to make us who we are, and we just need help to get back on the right track.” Our thanks to Katie Pedigo, executive director, for answering the questions this week.

day will help you implement the previous tip — just seeing the sheet in a prominent place every day will help you remember to work towards your goal and seeing your progress will motivate you. Set a specific resolution. When people resolve to “lose weight,” that is not specific enough to encourage success. If, instead, they were to say “I will lose two pounds per month every month this year by going to the gym three days per week and adding vegetables to every meal,” they would be much more likely to achieve their goals. Set a resolution that is a challenge but is not too lofty to be unattainable. Most people who say “I want to lose 150 pounds this year,” or “I want to go from eating fast food six times per week to never eating fast food again” are setting themselves up for failure. Instead, create a goal that challenges you but that

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) There will be much for others to do, and that which is done in concert with others will have the greatest impact. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – A variety of options are made available, and you'll want to explore as many as possible – if only
from a distance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) A surprise has you lurching forward unexpectedly, but you can control your affairs effectively, through instinct. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may find yourself getting closer to someone who has been on the periphery recently. Be open to all possibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) An interruption early in the week has you putting off something that you had wanted to do as quickly as possible. You still have time. (March 6-March 20) – Certain things may not fall out as planned, but you'll identify some new opportunities as a result. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Someone makes you an offer that may change things for you in a subtle but meaningful way. You may have to wait to follow up, however. (April 5-April 19) – You have certain responsibilities that will not wait, but keep in mind something you want to pursue later. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You're likely to receive certain instructions that have you making plans that take you somewhat by surprise. Follow your heart! (May 6-May 20) – You'll come to
feels within reach. Don’t get too bogged down by the numbers. Another reason I prefer resolutions that encourage you to add healthy behaviors (vs. resolutions that are just about losing — or gaining — a certain number of pounds) is that every step in the right direction is a success. If you eat vegetables every day (and improve your health immensely by doing so), who really cares if you lose eight pounds by the end of the year instead of 10? Setting a resolution that sets you up for success (and improves your health) is far better than setting an arbitrary number target to reach. When you set a resolution, commit to it. If you’re going to make a New Year’s resolution this year, you owe it to yourself to commit to it! There’s no reason to deal with feelings of guilt or defeat due

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week is likely to see one phase end and another begin, as many work toward completing a past goal that has been long pursued while looking ahead to a new one that has been long imagined. It is possible to work on both at once, of course, but priority must be given to what is most time-sensitive. All must be aware of timelines and schedules in order to formulate plans that allow maximum progress and efficiency, while encouraging creativity and flexibility. Some may find the week bittersweet, as it is finally time to bid farewell to something that has just come to fruition, but there will be little opportunity to indulge in any greater remembrance than that, as a bright future beckons and demands action. What has been learned over the past 12 months will prove valuable almost immediately, and a look at the year to come will reveal certain paths that had not been anticipated. Indeed, many roads ahead will offer more than expected, and this will surely prove exciting to those who have the best idea of what is to come.

a certain realization early in the week that inspires you to take an unusual course of action. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) What you can offer up for public consumption is likely to have more significance than you had anticipated. (June 7-June 20) – You may have to face one or two personal fears before you can make a move in a certain bold direction. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may be challenged by someone who sees in you greater potential than you had originally thought. He or she will stick with you. (July 8-July 22) – Your own confidence and natural charm will win over one of your critics, and a valuable partnership of sorts will be forged. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) A competition may have you behaving in a more aggressive fashion than usual, and you must be sure to keep things fun and lively. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You can derive a great deal of inspiration and motivation from what has happened over the past year – though changes will have to be made. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may be planning something that a loved one isn't likely to
Copyright 2014 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. support at first. You'll work out a positive compromise. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You are likely to yield to pressure from someone who has a different outlook. This is an opportunity! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) The pace is likely to be much quicker than you had foreseen, but you have what it takes to keep up – and maybe even surge ahead. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You'll understand more clearly the connections between you and another – and you'll find a way to exploit them, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You'll want to share your experiences with another, and not simply forge ahead on your own. Creative communication is the key. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Despite any environmental obstacles, you should be able to do something that brings you pleasure – and a certain amount of profit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) A loved one is willing to go through what you're going through, so you don't have to do it alone. Share impressions! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – Things may not fall together the way you had expected. Your own flexibility will make all the difference to you and others.

There are now more new listings – 115,000 in the MLS – which is the highest since 2010. There will be a continued frenetic pace of sales below $500,000, which is where most of the activity takes place. Watch interest rates. If they go up, the pace will slow down, and Dallas can expect the normal two to three percent historical inflation that has saved our butts from many a bubble burst.

was Harry Potter style before Harry was a Potter. His homes have a signature English farmhouse feel to them and are built rambling, as if they have been added onto. Dilbeck, for example, always said that in authentic cottages you could always find the original log cabin that the home started from. He also designed homes without hallways, so you have to go into one room to get to another, as if the house had been added on to randomly. It creates a very organic feel. And it was always such a refreshing contrast to the post World War II ranches that sprawled everywhere. Here is a Charles Dilbeck-designed home located in the best block of
Lakewood on Avalon Avenue. French Normandy style built in 1940, the home is set back on a lot that is just under half an acre and featured in the book, Great Houses of Texas. And this one is updated and affordable at $1,685,000. It gets better: there is one bedroom and a full bath down, so you can have a place to stay if you want a quick snooze. There are three living areas and three of those Dilbeck signature fireplaces — one is a corner. There are three bedrooms and baths upstairs. The master is light filled with a huge lounging deck. The kitchen is stunning — looking at that white marble, those white-washed cabinets and farm-house pulls makes
me drool with delight. Just charming. This home is a living piece of historical architecture with qualities and finishes unseen in today’s marketplace. In fact, like most Dilbeck homes, this is about as close as you get to history or my Paigebrook in Dallas. Vitals: 3,737 square feet, built in 1940. Four bedrooms, four baths, almost half acre lot, no pool but room, and luscious hardwoods. Oh those beams! That staircase railing! The split front door. All original designs. Even the playhouse in the backyard behind the pond is iconic Dilbeck. (What a perfect place for the grandchildren to play!) Listed with Nancy Guerriero and Janelle Law at Dallas City Center Realtors.

ALONG THE GREEN TRAIL
Time is right to make small changes
By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette
How many times have you heard “I can’t believe it’s almost 2015?” I hear it from people everyday, but it’s a thought in my own head as well. I struggle being present in every moment, which causes time to fly by year after year. The new Naima Montacer year is a great time to remind yourself of the years past issues and plan for small changes in your everyday life to make a difference for you and our city. Dallas had a year of environmental issues brought to the forefront of our doors. In January 2014, we saw the Dallas Safari Club auction off a rhino hunting permit in Africa for $350,000. This enraged people on both sides of the argument and brought light to the steep decline of wildlife in Africa. Drought dropped lake levels to record lows and continues to threaten the health of our Trinity River. The City of Dallas hired a new bike coordinator; implying large efforts would be made to increase pedal transportation in the area. The DFW area has been bombarded with earthquakes in 2014 with 26 earthquakes documented on earthquaketrack.com this year. Maybe the biggest news of 2014 was the passing of the plastic bag fee to be implemented at the start of this January. We set the ground in 2014 to make steps towards becoming a more sustainable city. Now it’s our responsibility to keep our momentum moving forward. We, as humans, are the major contributors of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere with an estimated 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide released every year. NASA reports that carbon dioxide levels are at their highest in 650,000 years. Change can start small. The more small changes we make, the more pressure we create for large changes to improve our environmental health. Here are a few simple resolutions to decrease your carbon footprint in 2015. 1. Lose the paper towels. Earth911.com estimates Americans send about 3,000 tons of paper towels to the landfill every year. Replace your paper towels with a fabric towel or rag. You can wash the rags and reuse them over and over. Get a few that
you don’t care about stains on and use them for every mess. 2. Drop the phantom power -- save money and energy. Many of the electric products you own pull electricity from the wall even when they are in the off position. This includes televisions, lamps, computers, phone chargers and every day items. The easy fix is next time you turn something off, unplug it. Don’t believe me? Feel your electronics in the off position -- if they’re warm, they are wasting energy. 3. Help offset the drought by using less water. Fix leaky faucets. The Environmental Protection Agency says, “A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. That's the amount of water needed to take more than 180 showers!” Is your toilet running extra? This is the time to fix it. 4. Check off your fitness resolution while helping the environment. Winter in Dallas is a great time to give biking to work a try. The cooler weather won’t cause you to immediately break out in overwhelming sweat so you show up to work more put together than a hot sweaty mess. The more you use it, the more it will be supported, and our new bike coordinator needs you. 5. Finally, bring your bags and save your change. Let the bag fee challenge you to bring your bags and not spend the cash on the plastic bags. The new year always brings feelings of excitement and willingness for change. I’m inspired to reflect on what I accomplished in the past year and how I can improve in the new year. If you’re looking for bigger challenges than the five listed, think about greening your cleaning supply and making your own, eliminate plastic or canned drinks or volunteer for a local environmental project. This year I’ll be watching my phantom power sharper, reviving my compost bin and getting back on the meatless Monday plan. It’s important to make a plan that works for you and your family and tackle a little at a time. You can be successful with little steps towards larger goals. Good luck, and let’s make 2015 our greenest year yet! Naima Montacer is a freelance writer and conservationist. View more at her website EnviroAdventures.com.

DOTTY 'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Kickoff bowl season with a bowl that has kick
By Dotty Griffith
dottykgriffith@gmail.com It’s bowl season now through the Super Bowl on Feb. 1. Kickoff your football watching with a bowl of gumbo chock full of Texas Gulf Coast seafood. My version calls for shrimp, crab, whitefish and oysters. If it swims, it’s fair game for this piquant bowl of goodness. Add some sausage or chicken or leftovers from the holiday turkey or ham, if you’d like. Leave out some of the seafood, if you’d like. Add more, even better. Just don’t overcook the seafood components. You can make the gumbo (minus seafood) in advance. Reheat and add seafood just before ready to serve.
Gulf Coast Gumbo
3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/3 cup flour 1 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped 1/2 cup celery, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes, chopped (juice reserved) 6 cups chicken stock 1/2 cup bottled clam juice 1 (8-ounce) package frozen sliced okra 1/2 teaspoon leaf oregano 1 bay leaf
LIFESTYLE cont'd from page 5 to setting a resolution that you’re not truly committed to achieve. If you have a goal, you need to believe that you can achieve it, and do everything in your power to get there!
Gulf Coast Gumbo 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste 1 teaspoon salt or to taste 1 pound seafood: peeled shrimp, crab meat or whitefish (such as snapper or catfish), cut into 1-inch cubes (or a combination) 12 fresh oysters, liquid reserved, optional 1 tablespoon file powder 6 cups cooked rice Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or dutch oven over low heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour is dark brown, about 30 minutes. Add onions, green pepper, celery and garlic. Cook until vegetables soften and onions
Find accountability. As a health coach, one of my main jobs is to follow up on my clients’ goals regularly. When they know they will have to report their progress to me, they are much more likely to actually stick to the healthy behaviors I set out for them
begin to brown Stir in tomatoes and their juice, stock and clam juice, into vegetables. Add okra, oregano, bay leaf, black pepper, cayenne and salt. Bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add seafood, Photo by Rick Turner except oysters, and cook just until seafood texture firms, about 5 minutes. Fish will turn white; shrimp pink. If using, add oysters and their liquid during the last minute or so of cooking. Adjust seasoning to taste. Just before serving, add file (ground sassafras) to thicken gumbo to desired consistency. Do not allow liquid to boil again or file will appear stringy and clump, and oysters will overcook. Ladle gumbo over cooked rice in shallow bowls. Or top gumbo with a scoop of rice. Makes 12 servings. Recipe from The Texas Holiday Cookbook (Second Edition) by Dotty Griffith.

MOVIE TRAILER
Eastwood, Cooper take dead aim in ‘American Sniper’ By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
Given today’s political climate, the sharks have been in the water, circling Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper” for months, ready to strike. It’s as if people knew that Eastwood taking on Chris Kyle’s book about his experience during the Iraq War would amount to a stamp of approval for the war via this movie. Everyone with those types of preconceived notions is going to be very upset. Director Eastwood, writer Jason Hall, and producer/ star Bradley Cooper have created a movie that is extremely anti-war. Since Eastwood is a conservative, this will no doubt confuse those people ready to hate him and his unbelievably well-crafted, intense, and highly-emotional movie, which may be the best of the year. The opening scene prepares you for the stress-inducing situations that are to follow. Chris (Cooper) is perched on a rooftop, peering through the scope on his rifle at an Iraqi woman that is forcing her child to attack an American convoy. When Chris sees the woman hand the child a mortar round, he is forced to make a decision that will no doubt haunt him for the rest of his life. Once that disturbing event is over, “American Sniper” resets and picks up Chris’ story as he abandons his Texan dreams of becoming a rodeo cowboy. Chris joins the Marines with the goal of becoming a Navy Seal, and that training is shown in painstaking, brutal detail.
Shortly after completing his training, Chris meets Taya (Sienna Miller). Their initial drunken meeting at a bar is quite funny and soon thereafter, they are married. Sadly, their newlywed period is cut short as Chris is sent to Iraq shortly after Sept. 11th, 2001. Since movies enjoy metaphors, the heftiest one in “American Sniper” is laid out by Chris' father. His father explains there are three types of people in the world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Not only does this stick with Chris his entire life, it is the moment in the movie that attempts to justify war and conflict. That belief stays with Chris as he fights to protect as many American soldiers with his sniper rifle that he can during his four tours of Iraq. He recognizes the deeply rooted evil they are fighting in Iraq and he embraces his role of sheepdog. The scenes featuring Chris in action as that hidden protector are the finest action moments in a movie this year. Eastwood and his cinematographer Tom Stern throw the audience into the battle, yet never losing geography or confusing the eye. The large, city-wide battle that takes place during a sandstorm is one of the finest things that Eastwood has ever directed. In between tours, Chris comes home, but can't get a grip on his life with Taya. The dialogue is obvious
walk into the theater hell bent on putting a liberal or conservative spin on it, you should see both perceived political sides of the ugliness of war. In a way, it seems like Eastwood has taken the words and life of Chris Kyle and used them in an attempt to bring people together, see that the Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures world is not a perfect place and recognize how much American soldiers sacri(“when you’re here, you’re not fice in an effort to protect those that here”), but what else would these two people that spend their lives half a world apart say to each other? Chris never speaks of the things he’s done, which only drives the wedge further between them. Cooper disappears into every single moment, whether he’s in or out of country, with such ease and commitment that his portrayal of Chris Kyle becomes an acting clinic. His transformation via Texas drawl and beefed up physique only adds to Cooper’s dominating presence. This is his “Raging Bull” performance and could be looked back at in time as one of the best film performances of the last twenty years. Like most people, regardless of their political leanings, “American Sniper" is anti-war. This movie does not take enjoyment or entertainment value from seeing Chris Kyle take a life. However, it acknowledges that war is a necessary evil, a product of taking a stand against evil. “American Sniper” is the most political movie that Clint Eastwood has ever, made and unless you
cannot protect themselves. Those that know the events of Chris Kyle’s life should know how “American Sniper” is going to end. The finale is not exploitative. It isn’t heavy handed. It simply shows the father and husband that Chris Kyle became after experiencing a world that could have destroyed him. “American Sniper” should not be missed. This is one of the finest movies released this year and will be held in the rarified air as one of the finest depictions of war ever put on film. This is Clint Eastwood’s true masterpiece.
