Earth Day Texas is a national environmental event

By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

This Friday, April 22, is the celebration of all aspects of our environment with the hope for a cleaner future. The celebration comes at a pivotal point in time. Scientists recently revealed 2015 was the hottest year in the historical record, and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing at an explosive rate. It’s clear that the human impact on Earth continues to grow. After the promising international climate change agreement made at COP21 in Dec. 2015, we haven’t seen much action to move us closer to our goal of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursuing efforts to

22-24) flock to Fair Park (by train) for the Earth Day Texas event that is quickly becoming a national environmental force. Founded by Trammel S. Crow, the event boasts a business and civic-oriented

Friday meant to encourage companies to share best environmental practices and create inventive solutions in sustainability. Earth Day Texas is free to the public and great for families with kids activities such as the LEGO Build the Change, where children are inspired to build their version of a more sustainable future using millions of LEGO bricks. Adults can enjoy the Untapped Sustainable Beer Garden serving cold brews from companies with environmentally responsible practices and pull up a seat or dance to loads of live music from mostly local Texas artists.

TRINITY GROVES

Reunited Dallas restaurateurs want The Hall to be hangout By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com There is a reunion of two locally known restaurateurs taking place among the more than dozen restaurants at the burgeoning Trinity Groves. Bob Sambol and James Rose, who built Bob’s Steak and Chop House on Lemmon Avenue into a must-go-to stop in Dallas years ago, are back together. The Hall Bar & Grill at 3011 Guiden Lane #109 is now open with Sambol in the front and Rose in the kitchen. Trinity Groves, a 15-acre restaurant, retail, artist and entertainment destination located at the base of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in West Dallas, opened in part as a laboratory for restaurant concepts. “We always felt we were missing two concepts [at Trinity Groves]: a steak restaurant and a Mexican restaurant. Phil Romano [restaurateur and

Trinity Groves co-founder] and I said that we were not going to do one of those until we had a point of difference. And so he said, ‘You work on the steak restaurant and I will work on the Mexican restaurant.’ “We still haven’t come up with a point of difference on the Mexican restaurant, but I said let’s do a steak place and tone it down a little bit and make it more approachable,” Sambol said. “More like a bar/saloon type of atmosphere rather than white table cloth, formal dinner house. So, I started playing with it — realizing that you can’t make cheap meat taste good — so the meat had to be [USDA] Prime, but we would lean toward smaller portions. “So, we are not having a 28 oz. porterhouse or a 22 oz. ribeye,” Sambol said. “And then we are making it ala carte and toning down the size of the sides slightly so we can make those affordable.”

At that time, the gastroenterologist’s office will contact you with results. If you have not heard anything from the doctor’s office after one week of the procedure, contact the office directly.

HALL cont'd from page 1 Sides — including a variety of potato incarnations, spinach, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and asparagus — are $5 each. The USDA Prime steaks vary from a 10 oz. sirloin for $25 to an 18 oz. T-bone for $49. Reasonably priced salads, burgers, soups and sandwiches round out the extensive menu, which also includes two cuts of prime rib. By design, wine prices are kept below the typical steak house list. “When I think about what it takes to make a place like this successful,” Sambol said, “I go back to James Rose, the original chef at Bob’s. We have known each other for a long time. He is our owner/operator.” Rose, who left his position at Stackhouse to establish The Hall Bar & Grill, welcomed the opportunity. “I had a mindset of what I have done with my life over the last thirty years,” Rose said, “and I wanted to pick some things that I really enjoyed but were unable to execute at other places. For us, doing Bob’s Steak House was one of the easiest restaurants I ever had to run because we knew what we had. It was straight forward. My kitchen was lined up in three stations and my entire kitchen could prepare a meal from those three stations by themselves. “Here, we are doing sandwiches; we are a little more eclectic on the salads, a little more eclectic on the appetizers and the soups. We make everything in house, which makes it more of a challenge, too. We want to be classic.” The Classic French Onion Soup ($9), which takes one-and-one-half days to make, is a particular item that Rose is pleased to bring to The Hall. Opened in March, the 2,500 square foot,

100 seat restaurant allows everyone to see each other in the bar and dining area. A large, wellstocked bar is on the left upon entering and extends out in front of an open kitchen. The most distinctive design element is a display of 8” x 10” framed photographs of local college football players around the top of the restaurant walls. Sambol, 62 and a self-proclaimed “huge sports fan,” tinkered with the idea of a sports bar theme, which is another concept yet to be introduced at Trinity Groves. But he knew that he had to find some to appeal to the younger crowd that frequents the area. “I am a great admirer of college football,” Sambol said. He was part of an effort that tried to get the College Football Hall of Fame to Dallas, which eventually ended up in Atlanta. While considering a sports theme for The Hall, Sambol said, “Why don’t we have pictures on the wall of DFW residents that played college football. This way it will give a connection to people and to the restaurant and give me my sports theme without being a sports bar. No helmets, no other stuff on the wall. And people have responded. The doctors, the lawyers, the FedEx delivery man, they are just dying to have their pictures on the wall.” Despite pictures of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings and four U.S. presidents hanging on the wall in their college uniforms, Sambol wants to keep the shrine simple. “I don’t necessarily want a lot famous people that played. I want the regular guys, because they are the ones that love the idea. “One of the comments that James and I got at Bob’s was ‘I love this place, because it is easy to eat here,’” Sambol said. “We want to do that here.”

THEATER FUNDRAISER

Uptown raises the roof to raise funds By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

Uptown Players (UP) are likely to bring down the house while raising the roof of the Kalita Humphreys Theater once again. “Broadway Our Way” (BOW) will open May 5-8 for UP’s 14th annual fundraiser. Each year, UP brings fresh new material to the popular show, so you’re never sure what to expect. You know you can always count on an entertaining, often stunning evening. This year, BOW will feature 30 cast members performing song and dance numbers from recent Broadway revivals and hits including, “Guys and Dolls,” “Kinky Boots” and “Beautiful,” along with classic favorites like “Cabaret,” “Funny Girl,” “Sweet Charity” and “Chicago.” The always-riotous cast will feature some of the area’s best, most recognizable talent. Writer/director/cast member B.J. Cleveland, who has written the show for five years, will undoubtedly treat the audience to some of his over-the-top comedy and vocals. Other members of the cast of 30 include Janelle Lutz, who was recently a hit as Judy Garland in UP’s “End of the Rainbow.” Always standouts, Coy Covington, Peter DiCesare, Linda Leonard, Sara Shelby-Martin and Darius Robinson are also among the company. According to Cleveland, “The [BOW] concept was created 14 years ago as a small revue with a piano and about seven actors to help as a fundraiser for Uptown Players’ next season, and it has now grown into a huge production with a full orchestra, over 30 cast members and a large silent auction and raffle.” Almost 100 items will be up for bid this year, including theatre tickets, restaurant gift certificates and artwork. When asked what’s unique about UP, Cleveland responded: “Regional premieres and themes that reflect its audience base with high quality productions and the best of a fantastic, local

“Broadway Our Way” cast will continue to vamp during the 14th season of the riotous show.

talent pool. Uptown Players is one of the major theater choices in town. As many equity contracts and designers, actors, productions and patrons as the others. The entire theatre community wants to be here.” Regarding UP’s ongoing popularity, Cleveland said, “Quality and passion have been paramount in Uptown Players’ growth. The producers, Jeff Rane and Craig Lynch, have committed to a continuously growing and thriving company.” Upcoming productions this season include “Mothers and Sons,” June 3-19, “It’s Only a Play,” July 15-31 and “The Toxic Avenger,” Aug. 26–Sept. 11. Cleveland concluded regarding BOW: “We’re doing some warped takes on some of your favorite theme-park songs … but I don't want to give anything away. It’s a political year, so we’ll have some fun with that as well! All is fair game in BOW.” “Broadway Our Way” performances are at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 5 through May 7 with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, May 8. A reception follows each performance. All performances will be at the Kalita Humphreys Theatre, 3636 Turtle Creek Blvd. (at Blackburn Street).

Your Stars this Week By Stella Wilder

The coming week will require most individuals to govern themselves with a firmer hand than usual as they navigate rough, potentially hazardous waters in an attempt to land themselves on a distant shore that provides the calm and solace they are so eager to attain. Some may find themselves overwhelmed by their workloads as projects heat up and due dates converge. Others may encounter difficulty as a result of being asked to do things that are perhaps just one step beyond their level of expertise. Some will find that the trouble encountered is not of their own making at all, but instead the result of circumstances that could not possibly have been anticipated. In all cases, the governing of emotion and steering of intellect will be the keys to success. Not everyone will have to go it alone, of course. Indeed, in many cases, help will be at hand all week long — but there's help ... and then there's help! Some may find that it would have been better to work alone, as working with assistance may require a level of attention and instruction that takes up even more time and energy. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may have to work with someone who doesn't understand how much time it takes to get things right. This can be frustrating! (May 6-May 20) – You may need to interrupt

yourself on several occasions to ensure that everything is progressing properly. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) The more you worry over a task or problem, the more energy you will needlessly expend. Stay focused on doing the work! (June 7-June 20) – You're still waiting for some information that is key to your decision-making. It may be time to force the issue. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may find that it is better for you to get an earlier start than usual each day — and that may well be early, indeed! (July 8-July 22) – Someone you've known for quite some time offers you a lifeline of sorts. Grab it, and you'll enjoy a rejuvenating opportunity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You're eager to see what waits for you around the next corner or over the next hill, but first you have to get there! Be patient. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – The kind of salvation you're looking for may not be available just yet. You must keep working away in the same old vein for a while. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You keep thinking you can put the finishing touches on a project, but technical problems keep holding you back.

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You may wonder if others are as willing as you are to do what is necessary. Proof will come to you in an unusual fashion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) If you find yourself at crosspurposes with someone, call a halt to all related activities until the problem is sorted out. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You may not have the luxury of stepping back from a problem to think it through objectively, so take all necessary precautions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may feel as though you're being expected to do things the hard way. Indeed, the easy road seems to be closed to you! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You can shed light on an issue that no one else seems to appreciate for its importance and timeliness. You may be vindicated. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Others are likely to see things your way only after you spend a good deal of time setting up a vivid demonstration. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – A collaborative effort falls flat, but not because of anything you do. This doesn't mean it won't succeed at a later date. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You mustn't think that you

go ahead and continue eating unhealthily. Give your body the nutrients it needs on your next meal! • Every bite. So you ordered the double-decker cheese fries. OK, fine. You take a few bites, and they’re delicious, and then you realize you’re satisfied. You do not have to keep eating just to finish the dish and knock yourself into a food coma. Just because the first 10 bites were good does not mean the next 10 bites will be better! So enjoy your treat without guilt, then feel comfortable stopping when you are full.

Black Ship Little Katana sets sail

By Dotty Griffith

Dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Fans of Little Katana sushi restaurants rejoice at the birth of a downtown sibling, Black Ship Little Katana. One of the new eateries in the restaurant complex across from the Omni Dallas Hotel, Black Ship is another creation of owner Odes Kim. This incarnation is named after the 1852 fleet of four American Navy steamships sent to open Japanese ports to western trade. During the long crossing, salt water stained the metal ships the color of coal. The Japanese called them “black ships.” Hence the inspiration for Kim’s east meets west variations on Asian flavors. The menu reflects Japanese, Korean and American influences. Nothing is too exotic, and you'll want to try everything on the menu. Steaks. Deliciously fresh fish. Great flavor explosions. Such as one of the sushi rolls, called the Charming Roll with crabmeat, salmon and avocado topped with tuna and chili spiked mayonnaise. It is but one of many combinations, some of which are designed to blow you away. Any roll designated “Dynamite” comes with a spicy Katana sauce kick. Variations include: scallop, crabmeat, crawfish and lobster. Sashimi platters are mountainous works of art. Artfully arranged, sushi lovers will want to go for chef’s choice to get the freshest and tastiest offerings. DIY fans must consider the Wagyu Hot Rock, paper thin slices of Japanese-style, lusciously tender beef that you sear on a sizzling hot

Black Angus ribeye, Wagyu tenderloin or Wagyu New York Strip: Each steak comes with wasabi (known as green Japanese horseradish paste) laced mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and herb butter. Orange Ginger Salmon, Seared Ahi Tuna and Miso Glazed Sea Bass make up the fish entrées. The interior of Black Ships Little Katana is more

MOVIE TRAILER

Another hit for Disney with stunning ‘The Jungle Book’

By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood

2016 has been very kind to Disney. The studio released “Zootopia,” their most acclaimed original animated feature in years, and it earned a Franklin Mint at the box office. Now, they have released “The Jungle Book,” an updated version of their 1967 animated classic based on the Rudyard Kipling stories of the same name, and it is virtually guaranteed to become a currency printing press for the home of the most famous mouse ever. But is “The Jungle Book” just another Disney song and dance beat-down guaranteed to annoy every parent and/or adult that lays eyes on it? It absolutely is not. “The Jungle Book” is a thrilling, charming and, at times, a brutally honest take on nature’s food chain. It also is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest, most realistic CGI ever put on the big screen. Director Jon Favreau (yes, Mikey from “Swingers”) has created a world so lush and alive that it’s hard to believe the entirety of “The Jungle Book” was filmed in Los Angeles on a sound stage. Every single thing on screen, other than young Neel Sethi as Mowgli, is a computer generated image. The detail in everything such as a blade of grass, porcupine’s needles or a black panthers eyes glowing in the dark

look completely real. The animals on screen are so lifelike that watching “The Jungle Book” is almost a tease leaving you unable to reach out and hug an adorable wolf-cub. In case you were trapped under something heavy for the last century, “The Jungle Book” follows the life of man-cub, Mowgli (Sethi), a young boy who was found alone in the jungle by a black panther, Bagheera (Ben Kingsley).

Kuna Molas recognizable By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com The mola is a distinctive artisanal product of the Kuna Yala (or Guna Yala) indigenous group that inhabits the San Blas island archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean near Columbia, technically a part of Panama, but actually an autonomous region. The mola is the most recognizable product of Panama other than, perhaps, the “Panama hat,” which in Photo by Michael Wald reality is from Ecuador. Panama’s trademark Kuna Mola.

He was then adopted by a pack of wolves, led by Akela and Raksha (Giancarlo Esposito and Lupita Nyong’o), and raised as a wolf…that can speak…and speak to other animals. A few liberties are taken with the story, but it mostly remains the same. Mowgli is forced to leave the jungle because he is being hunted by the evil tiger, Shere Khan (Idris Elba, with one of the deepest, most evil growls ever). During his journey to the “man village,” Mowgli meets Baloo (Bill Murray), a shifty, clever wheeler and dealer who strikes up a bargain with Mowgli. Their alliance and friendship is interrupted by a gang of primates led by King Louie (Christopher Walken), a massive orangutan who may or may not be the now extinct Gigantopithecus. King Louie’s interests lie in man’s ability to make the “red flower” (fire), which would make Louie the undisputed King of the Jungle. As you’d expect from the aforementioned cast, the voice work is top notch. Ben Kingsley, who also serves as the film’s narrator, is particularly fantastic as the moral compass of the entire movie. Nearly every line he delivers is laced with sarcasm, but Bill Murray does get a bit of a musical number and revives “Bare Necessities.” Scarlett Johansson voices Kaa and, even though she only has one scene, is pitch perfect as the seductive rock python.

However, the true scene stealer is Christopher Walken’s King Louie. There are homages aplenty in his one scene with “Saturday Night Live” skits and “Apocalypse Now” among them. He goes with a full “New Yawwwwk" accent as Louie and when his eyes open wide, it’s impossible not too see Walken’s bright blues staring back at you. While it’s an odd time for characters to burst into song, Walken’s rendition of “I Wanna Be Like You” is so fantastic and gorgeously animated that it doesn’t even matter. Jon Favreau has grown as a director to the point where it’s clear he can helm a movie of massive scope and budget such as this or tell a personal, smaller story like in “Chef.” While it probably will not be for “The Jungle Book,” it will absolutely not be surprising to see Favreau eventually be in the mix for a Best Director Academy Award. If you can call it one, “The Jungle Book” is easily one of Disney’s finest live action films of all time. The energy and craft put into creating this world is indescribable. There cannot be a person out there that wouldn’t believe they are looking at a real panther fighting a real tiger. It is a marvel to simply look at and the story, while a bit generic, doesn’t bog it down or become silly. There is enough going on in “The Jungle Book” for those of all ages to thoroughly and completely enjoy every second of it.

And then, there is this: Easy there, tiger. If you’re looking for some of the sexiest digs in all of Dallas, you’ve come to the right place. Try this blazing-hot, brand-new listing from Sam Saladino at David Griffin & Company Realtors. Even from the curb you can see that this home in Bretton Woods near Midway Road and Northwest Highway just oozes that easy-to-love, California-style sex appeal. But just wait until you see inside this incredible home, owned and decorated by the incomparable Betsy Freeman, who once decorated a Cardinal’s residence at the Vatican. Incredible! First, we love the iron and two-way glass front door. No more worrying about walking around half-dressed and having a porch delivery person see you through the front door! Brilliant! Of course, when you step inside, the genius upgrades just keep

coming in this 5,137-squarefoot Santa Barbara-inspired home. There are three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, formal living and dining rooms, a three-car garage and three fireplaces in this stellar contemporary/transitional home. Saladino, who has an extensive design background himself, has listed this beauty at 5 Bretton Creek Court for $1.685 million. “I think the exotic materials — especially the built-ins flanking the massive modern stone fireplace — create a rich, warm feel that envelopes the otherwise open layout of the dining room,” Saladino said. “Velvet upholstery and brocade throws make it lush and sexy. The owner has a wonderful bohemian streak that runs through the decor without being too referenced or overpowering.” The cool accent color palette helps, bringing in pops of teal and silver in just the right spots. We love the exposed beams that run from the kitchen through to the

living room, as well as those sliding doors concealing the office/drawing room from the main entertaining areas. The faux alligator insets on the drawing room doors, when opened, recall the deep gray/ black textured paper covering the walls within. “The columns that frame the area where the piano sits create a romantic archway, further helping to define areas without sacrificing the sight lines,” Saladino added. “The massive open doorway leading out to the patio/ lanai blurs any definition of indoor/outdoor spaces to create a large inviting entertaining area,” Saladino said. “This area can be as formal as cocktails and caviar under the sunset to a raucous, fun-filled Super Bowl party with delicious grilled steaks and homemade pizzas just arms length from the action.” Upstairs, though, things take on a whole different level of sex appeal. We love the exotic hardwood floors that add texture to the master bedroom, which has lacquered

walls and a tray ceiling that gives the room a satiny, sinful feel. The modern black marble fireplace gives the room depth and warmth, and the faux animal skins on the floor add a little naughtiness to the design. In the master bath we see even more black marble, with the soaking tub underneath a glittering Venetian chandelier being the focal point. It feels so posh, with Art Deco touches that take you back to the 1920s. And then there’s that closet! “I brought the zebra striped velvet fauteuil in from the bedroom,” Saladino said, “as I envisioned a seating area fit for Jean Harlow to slip off her marabou-trimmed robe and satin slippers before entering the bath.” Tiffany, honey, this home has your name written all over it! CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly Real-Estate obsessed! Named by National Association of Real Estate Editors as the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country.

EARTH cont'd from page 1 exhibitors covering the environmental aspects of health and fitness, agriculture, beauty, academics, automotive, technology and wildlife. Take a break from the activities and head inside for a screening of an environmental documentary — one I’ve been waiting to see, “Consumed,” which is the story of a mother on the hunt to uncover the cause of her son’s illness and the interwoven story of GMOs and biotechnology. Browse the entire schedule including the Tiny House Exhibit, list of speakers such as Ted Roosevelt IV and Karenna Gore, Green Cuisine schedule and more at earthdaytx.org or download their mobile app. If you miss Earth Day Texas, no worries. The environment is always available for your exploration, and now there’s one more place available for you. Cedar Valley College, a member of the Dallas County Community College District, located in South Dallas on the border with the city of Lancaster, hosted the grand opening of their Environmental Learning Area (ELA) this past Friday. The ELA is open to the public from dawn to dusk, located behind their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certified Math, Science and Allied Health building in the center of campus. Enter the ELA just steps from the building and soon you are crossing into various native Texas habitats, from a prairie ecosystem to a riparian (close to water) environment currently in a beautiful bloom of native Texas wildflowers such as the gorgeous pink and white foxglove. “We are trying to be very good stewards of our campus and our planet,” said Dr. Maria Boccalandro, sustainability director at Cedar Valley College. All of the community colleges within DCCCD are improving their facilities and curriculum to become leaders in sustainability. Cedar Valley College hosted the DCCCD’s sixth annual Sustainability Summit on April 15, highlighting local efforts to create a more sustainable community. Speakers engaged audience members with talks on adding climate change to curriculum, managing wildlife and the business side of sustainability. Plenty of rain gives us bright flowers and vibrant hues of green in our April environment, creating a lure to the outdoors perfect for a day and month devoted to our Earth. Take the time to enjoy the Earth Day festivities and explore outdoor areas to reconnect to this giant ball of a planet we live on and take from.

show love and care in Dallas

AIDS Services of Dallas

Housing options and other needed resources are provided for those living with HIV/AIDS

By Sally Blanton

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.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?

e mission of AIDS Services of Dallas A Th

(ASD) is to create and strengthen healthy communities through the delivery of quality, affordable, service-enriched housing for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. ASD’s mission includes advocacy, education and the development of affordable housing options and community development opportunities, both for its residents living with HIV/AIDS and for economically disadvantaged seniors. ASD traces its roots to 1985, when two men living with AIDS, Daryl Moore and Michael Merdian, began the PWA Coalition of Dallas, Inc. to help provide employment for people living with HIV/ AIDS who had lost their jobs because of illness and discrimination. In 1987, the agency adopted supportive housing and services as its mission, and in 1989, became known as AIDS Services of Dallas.

Q H ow many clients are served each year?

A A SD provides housing to 225 individu-

als and families. Since 1987, ASD has provided 1,293,463 nights of housing to 2,033 residents.

QW hat percentage amount actually

reaches those in need? More than 82 percent of ASD’s annual budget goes to residents’ direct care.

QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations? There is a severe shortage of housing and we consider this our critical need.

QW hat is your facility like?

A A SD presently operates four apartment

communities. ASD is the first housing provider in the nation to receive a MetLife Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing, and for many years, the only nonprofit in the nation to receive two MetLife Awards.

Q What sort of volunteer jobs are available?

A M ost of our volunteers are in communi-

ty groups referred to as “Supper Clubs.” More than 64 groups comprised of more than 1,000 individuals provide the evening meals for our residents. Additional volunteer opportunities are available in other departments including kitchen, facilities maintenance and landscaping.

Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who

always goes beyond the call of duty?

A J im Apken is an exceptional volunteer

who assists in food service and has volunteered in many capacities for more than 20 years.

QW hat do you think is the most impor-

tant thing you do for the community? Keeping people with HIV/AIDS out of shelters and nursing homes, linking them with primary care and medications to regain and maintain their health.

QW hat is difficult about your job?

A H aving to deal with a waiting list of people who need our help.

QW hat is rewarding about your job?

A G iving people a second chance to live a

full life. Most satisfying is watching our residents regain and maintain their health, gain employment and live independently.

QW hat does the future hold for your

nonprofit? The agency owns several parcels of land on which it would like to develop more housing to serve those currently on our waiting list.

Don Maison, president and CEO, answered this week’s questions.
