LOCAL TRAVEL
Fair Park butterfly exhibit has fans aflutter
By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com To get in the proper mood for the weekend, watching butterflies works wonders. That’s where Texas Discovery Gardens (TDG) and its butterfly house come in handy. I’ve seen butterfly exhibits all over the world, but actually one of the best is right here in Dallas! In addition to its butterfly exhibit, TDG at Fair Park, inside the State Fairgrounds but open year round, has manicured gardens (not well-kept), snake and insect exhibits, as well as excellent facilities for special occasions like weddings. The Gardens focus on 100 percent organic gardening in a 7.5-acre site, focusing on sustainable methods that conserve water and promote the environment. The highlight of TDG is the butterfly house. Inside, a raven that cannot fly is employed to control insects. But mainly there are more than 30
varieties of butterflies. Without a license to breed butterflies, TDG only exhibits them. Butterfly cocoons are purchased from around the world — in fact, from some of the other places where I’ve seen butterfly exhibits: Coast Rica, South America, Africa and Asia, thus supporting a burgeoning butterfly industry around the world. Because of this industry, many butterfly species thrive. And the exhibit explains how butterflies are necessary for a healthy ecosystem. You enter the butterfly house on the second floor and walk down a slightly graded wooden pathway from the canopy of the replicated jungle habitat to the ground floor. As you emerge from the double-doored entry chamber, you are immediately hit by the humidity inside. Since the TDG does not breed butterflies, the jungle habitat does not contain plants that the butterflies use for laying eggs. But a small exhibit does demonstrate the start of the butterfly’s

The butterfly house also contains moths. unusual life cycle. They lay tiny eggs. From these, tiny caterpillars emerge. A caterpillar eats the plant and eventually attaches to a stem and forms what is incorrectly referred to as a cocoon (more on that later.) Eventually, the “cocoon” opens and a butterfly emerges. The only reason the jungle isn’t eaten by the caterpillars is in the choice of plants. Turns out butterflies and moths are fussy about see BUTTERFLY on page 12

For 52 years, millions worldwide have shared individual stories that started with, “When I heard about it I was…” recounting their experience after noon on Nov. 22, 1963. Dallasites often have more details to contribute than others, and among those, some stories are far more unique and memorable than others, even without embellishment. Jerry Kasten’s recollections of the fateful day and week are from more than one interesting, close perspective, resulting in a fascinating story. This year Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator of Dallas’ Sixth Floor Museum and Director of the museum’s 25-year old Oral History Project interviewed Kasten before an audience that sat riveted. Kasten is among the more than 1,300 subjects from around the world who have been interviewed and recorded to date as part of the project. Not only was Kasten a Dallas Police Reserve officer on duty downtown the week of Nov. 22, 1963, but he also taught at Bryan Adams High School (BA) in White Rock from 1963 through 1980. His social studies subjects included World History, American History, Civics and Government. Creative teaching in Dallas, 1963. The dedicated, retired teacher gave some background on how the times played out in East Dallas from the perspective of a high school teacher in 1963: “Our principal, Dr. R.B. Harris was an arch conservative. He let it be known that, ‘you’d better not do things that are too liberal or else you’d get in trouble.’” It’s no surprise that Jerry Kasten, with

Jerry Kasten (left), interviewed by Stephen Fagin, relived events in November 1963. his creative teaching style and affinity for pushing the envelope, remained “in trouble” with his principal for many years. Harris was fiercely preoccupied with the threat of communism, and was pretty sure it was behind every societal ill. Kasten said that at the beginning of the day on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, Harris was adamant that teachers record and report student absentees, because “they would be in trouble with him.” It seems he had only received a handful of permission notes from parents. According to Kasten, about half his class was there. When the “attendance lady” came in to pick up her IBM attendance cards, she blurted out, “The President’s been shot!” Kasten scrambled for a television for the room. The class watched and listened. see JFK on page 10

HIP TO BE SQUARE
About outpatient hip or knee replacement By Dr. Don Hohman dhohman@gdortho.com
Is a short-stay hip or knee replacement right for you? Outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is now being performed in select centers on select patients who are healthy enough to be candidates for this pathway. These surgeries can be done at an ambulatory surgery center or an inpatient hospital. Orthopedic surgeons agree that outpatient TJA should only be done on patients who are healthy enough to have surgery in such a setting and have the appropriate home setting/ support to allow them to be discharged in this manner. This concept is new, and orthopedic surgeons are still clarifying how to maximize the benefits of this idea for patients. Know your health care team. The entire health care team for an outpatient TJA must be adept at managing this type of surgical pathway. Your primary care provider will need to agree that you are medically able to tolerate the surgery. The orthopaedic surgeon then must deem that you are a candidate for outpatient TJA and feel comfortable

Senior outruns the aging process By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com At 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, Jack Tutterrow has the build of a competitive marathon runner and has put his body to good use. He has run in 34 different marathons all around the world, including the prestigious Boston Marathon, which requires a runner to qualify to participate. He is currently in training for his 35th marathon early next year. Jack Tutterrow is 77 years old. “Like so many people, I couldn’t run around the block when I first started,” Tutterrow said. He began running in his 40s as a stress reliever. “I found that long distance running helped clear my whole thought process and gave me time to myself to really get centered. Once I started and found it very helpful, I have continued it now for the last 34 years.” In 1983, he ran his first marathon in Washington DC at 43. “I moved into a new job in Tennessee and my new boss was an exercise fan, so I started running because you needed to be a member of this fraternity if you wanted to be a member of this company,” Tutterrow said. He entered corporate relay races before he began to run marathons and once ran a 5:22 mile. And Tutterrow was a smoker. He challenged himself to increase his distances, and realized that he must quit smoking to maximize his performance. In 1985, he achieved a personal best of three hours, two minutes in the Chicago Marathon, a

show love and care in Dallas
ARMY SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION
College scholarships are given to qualifying sons, daughters and wives of U.S. Army soldiers
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?
A O ur mission is to provide college level academic scholarships to sons and daughters of U.S. Army soldiers and to spouses of active duty enlisted soldiers.
Q How many clients are served each year?
is year, we awarded 50 scholarships to A Th
Army family members. Unfortunately, we received more than 400 applications, so we were unable to help many aspiring students who are in need.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches those in need?
e do everything we can to keep our overAW
head and expenses to a bare minimum; we are all volunteers with no paid staff at all, so as a result we are able to provide more than 95 percent of all donations as scholarships to deserving U.S. Army family members.
QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations?
e very much need to be able to estabAW
lish an ongoing, regular program of fund raising events with dedicated volunteers and planning. Although we have done a few golf tournaments, runs and smaller events, we have not established ourselves within the greater giving community, whereby donors and participants can plan for support and attendance. We critically need help in finding and establishing ourselves a regular, recurring fundraising program.
Q T ell us about your recent fundraiser.
A On Oct. 27, our Stand Up for
Heroes Luncheon was held at Brook Hollow Golf Club with General John Abizaid as the keynote speaker.
QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?
e have needs for volunteers to assist in AW
organizing and conducting fundraising events. Of course, we can always use assistance in researching potential donors and providing publicity and outreach. In addition, every spring, a team of volunteers spends two days reading and evaluating all of our applicants in order to help select our scholarship recipients. We would love to find a volunteer CPA to conduct pro bono audits of our books.
Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who al-
ways goes beyond the call of duty? We are fortunate to have a dedicated and unique couple of volunteers, Patricia and Mark Armstrong. Mark is our volunteer finance director who keeps our books and prepares all financial records and reports to comply with audit and IRS requirements. This is a most time consuming and highly technical job, which Mark performs flawlessly; spending long hours making sure our finances are correct.
A
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
e assist Army family member students AW who are often financially disadvantaged. They are often the first generation in their families to attend college, enabling them to gain an education. By educating these family members we contribute to our Nation's future.
QW hat is difficult about your job?
A I t is so difficult to tell a good student in
need that we cannot help him or her with a scholarship this year due to so many applicants.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A G etting feedback from students who are so thrilled and honored to receive a scholarship.
Jeff Gault, CEO for Army Scholarship Foundation, answered this week’s questions.
Mountain” is majestic. Her voice is rich, and she exudes the warmth and emotion we’ve grown to expect from her character. That said, when Brown addressed the audience post-curtain call regarding contributions to support “Broadway Cares” Wednesday night, she must have felt like lightening things up with a little dance number going on under her habit. Considering the quality of theater she had just performed, and the cause for which she was appealing, perhaps her final appearance could have been a little less Whoopi Goldberg and a little more refined. Jane Greenwood’s costumes are breathtaking, and especially the Countess Schraeder’s wardrobe, worn by a gorgeous Teri Hansen. Douglas W. Schmidt has created a brilliant estate and countryside. Set changes are seamless. Tony Award winning director Jack O’Brien guides the von Trapp children to believable rather than “cutesy” performances. In chatting after the show with Mackenzie Currie, the young actresses playing Marta von Trapp, it was striking how mature beyond her years she is. The children in touring companies have tutors who travel with them, and they have
Ashley Brown as Mother Abbess. regularly scheduled school hours during the day. Currie is very nonchalant about it as she’s grown to consider it routine. When someone commented to Ben Davis about what a young Captain von Trapp he is, the 40-yearold came back with, “Do you know that Christopher Plumber was only 36?” Davis’ performance was flawless as was his voice. Although SOM has been staged for years (the last time DSM staged the show was in 1988 starring Debby Boone as Maria), it’s hard to get past memories of Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer in the lead roles, and the glorious contralto delivery of “Climb E’vry Mountain” by Peggy Wood as Mother Abbess.
Wed 11/8
Imogene Coca, b. 1908 Alan Shepard, b. 1923 Owen Wilson, b. 1968 1928 – Premiere of 1st soundsynched cartoon, Disney’s “Steamboat Willie” starring Mickey Mouse.
Thu 11/19
Calvin Klein, b. 1942 Allison Janney, b. 1960 Jodie Foster, b. 1962 Savion Glover, b. 1973 Kerri Strug, b. 1977 1863 – Lincoln delivered his “Gettysburg Address.”
DSM’s production during this 50th anniversary of the film has a fresh, more up-close-andpersonal feel to it. Lady Gaga’s surprising Oscar performance this year of “The Sound of Music” medley widened eyes to the possibilities and especially when Julie Andrews thanked her for her performance. During this anniversary year, Carrie Underwood also had a twirl as Maria in a live television staging of the musical in 2013. In March of this year, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer and Oscar-winning Julie Andrews collaborated on a one-hour special, “The Untold Story of ‘The Sound of Music,’” in which they journeyed to Salzburg, Austria. ABC described the special like this: “With unprecedented access, Sawyer goes behind-the-scenes to show viewers what happened beyond the frame in those famous movie scenes and retrace the steps of the real von Trapps who defied Hitler and lived to tell their tale.” In all the time Andrews spent in Austria while shooting the film, this was her first visit to the actual von Trapp home. She did, however, receive yodeling lessons from Maria in an earlier television appearance. DSM’s “The Sound of Music” runs through Nov. 22 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

A bidet takes the place of toilet paper in several European countries, yet culturally isn’t accepted here in the States. The WorldWatch Institute emphasizes, “‘Wet’ cultures (those using water for cleansing) can achieve health standards every bit as high as ‘dry’ cultures relying on toilet paper.” But is using water in drought stricken Texas better than toilet paper? And as for the nest builders, the toilet seat is surprisingly clean compared to other surfaces in the bathroom. Studies have found you are more at risk of picking up bacteria on your hands in the bathroom than on your bottom. In one study, the floor contained the most bacteria followed by the sanitary napkin trash can. It’s better to keep your purse off the floor, forgo the toilet paper nest and reduce your carbon footprint while still maintaining your hygiene.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see many individuals exploring their creativity in situations that require unconventional thinking and a willingness to do what may be considered quite radical — at least in theory, if not in practice. Many will be working to erase the negative effects of mistakes made in the recent past, and most will succeed. Some may find, however, that it is impossible to put the past behind them completely — and this will be the catalyst for making new plans and taking certain actions that may not have been taken before. Indeed, it may seem to some that there is a need for an escape of sorts — from oppressive circumstances, from errant planning, from the judgment of others or from situations that simply must not be allowed to continue. Ultimately, the week may well be remembered for propelling individuals into the future with a brighter overall outlook — the result, of course, of hitting on solutions to problems that are not only creative, but permanent. Success may be only incremental on one hand, but on the other, it can last a long, long time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) The week may offer a mixed bag of opportunities and setbacks, but you're able to address them in ways that maximize gains.

(Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Your promise of low stress and maximum rewards can certainly be fulfilled. It all depends on attitude and preparedness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Take care that you're not getting into something you cannot understand or control. It mustn't be allowed to get away from you! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – A creative endeavor allows you to see things from another's point of view for a while. A new phase is beginning. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You don't want things to become too competitive; go about your business in a manner that promotes cooperation rather than

This home, located at 626 Rainbow Drive, Dallas, is listed for $2.1 million. A-line ceilings and expansive windows that take it all in. I mean, after I saw this house, I had to recover. Might still be shivering! Like I said, when I say “O House,” drop everything and READ! The gated lot begins with a gate, and a huge circular driveway that lands you in front of the house and into an outdoor relaxation patio with seating for four just to the left of the front door. The expansive backyard (approximately 1.2 of the acreage) is visible from this little Zen garden through the glass, which is the trick that opens the house up to the outdoors so much. You cannot do this on small, .20 acre postage stamps; bring in the front yard through huge glass and you'll get the neighbor's fence or something. In the center of this front lawn — flag football games! — is a lovely lit sculpture. Enter to the spaciousness of the original era design: large living area with the fireplace and brick wall as focal point, a flat screen TV mounted over. This long room (27’ by 21’) connects to the open dining
room and the piece de resistance kitchen. Cook here? Hell, this room is museum-worthy: thick granite one-giant piece antique slab that must have come from the biggest mine in Brazilian, found by the previous owners, sleek white custom cabinetry, and a little nook around the corner from the stove where you will find the built in coffee maker and espresso machine. Kind of a little space to hide the mess. There is a huge, deep stainless sink, Wolf gas stove, sleek SubZero double fridge, and counter seating for four to six guests. Off this room is a very private guest suite that was created out of one car bay in the neat now two-car garage, plus some other space. There is a laundry area and mud room, an office, followed by a tucked away closet. This entrance from the driveway leads to another little garden and a copper water sculpture fountain now patinaed blue. The sculpture was created by the first owner, Liza Hart. Of course this bedroom has a stunning and large en suite

bath, mais oui. Proceed back into the main heart of the home and formals (nothing is too formal in this home), and you encounter the hallway to the three bedrooms. Up a contemporary flight of oak steps, on the other side of the wall to wall fireplace brick wall, is the upstairs media/game room I would use as an office. Views of the bluff are priceless. Down that hall we have two bedrooms with en suite baths and the master(piece). Here is where the magic begins: brick wall behind the master bed across the expanse of the wall. A free-standing fireplace serves double duty for a sitting area, as well as the master. Beyond that fireplace is where the Ouellette's created a sanctuary of glass, the perfect place for a couple to sit and chill. The Ouellette's took this bath to the next level, too: an extra-deep square jetted tub built into a window view of a private courtyard for privacy, dual vanities, a huge stepdown shower, and a dressing room/closet with built ins,
mirror, cubbies. This is the house: 4,439 square feet with four bedrooms, four full and one half bath, office, media room and studio. Solid brick construction inside and out. Listing agent met the Ouellette's when she sold Brendan Bass his home. She is Melissa O'Brien of Dave Perry-Miller's Hewitt Habgood group. Asking price is $2.1 million. The back of the house has a large patio, most of it protected by a deep eave, with plenty of room to add a grill. There is no pool, scads of room for an Olympic sized one. There is a wonderful children's play ark, swing set and a storage shed. You are just a few miles from downtown Dallas, maybe three to Methodist Hospital — the original owner's husband was an Oak Cliff physician. So close and yet, so very far away.

Stephan@sardoneconstruction.com There’s no place like home for the holidays. For many of us, that means hosting holiday parties for our friends and family, welcoming overnight guests and opening our home to unexpected drop-in visitors. With that in mind, you may be thinking that you should have listened to that little, inner voice that said, “The holidays will be here before you know it.” Perhaps you made a list around this time last year of home projects you would like to complete before the holidays. If that is you, don’t worry. There are a few last minute projects that you can complete before the holidays, and some good reasons why autumn is a great time to renovate.

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse keeps carving niche By Dotty Griffith

Live Music Guide Shows & Concerts This Week: Fri, 11/13 - Thu, 11/19
Dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse in the West End honors its location the same as its namesake Hill Country Ranch. Just as the Y.O. Ranch near Kerrville has been around for generations and survived some tough times, the venerable steakhouse keeps on keepin’ on despite the economy and downtown real estate roller coaster. That’s because chef-owner Tony Street comes from a true grit Texas background just like the Schreiner family that has safeguarded the historic ranch. Chef Street devotes considerable time and effort to keeping the restaurant as real and truly Texan as the ranch. Though there have been plenty of ups and downs for the West End as an entertainment district, the Y.O. is a survivor and thriver, as well as a highly-regarded spot for steaks and wild game. Drawing on the ranch heritage, the interior is all longhorns, cowboys and hosses. It’s a trip to the imagination’s best rendition of big ranch Texas. Street maintains traditions, but the menu isn’t stagnant. New dishes include imaginative riffs on familiar faves. Mesquite Smoked Chicken Lollipops have all the flavor of smoked chicken but with a smart glaze of Grand Marnier, horseradish and molasses. The “lollipops” are drumsticks, one of nature’s most convenient food delivery systems. He created mini Scotch

Consider yet another Street adaptation of a Southern tradition: Deep Ellum Pimento Cheese Fritters. It’s got all the familiar elements with some Texas twists: grated ancho chile caciotta, sharp cheddar and Chihuahua cheeses blended with roasted red peppers. Balls of pimento cheese are covered with panko bread crumbs then deep-fried and served with a
spicy Tabasco jam. If steak is what you’re craving, Street serves 44 Farms Angus beef grown in Cameron and College Station. And he’s created lamb chops over bourbon-spiked sweet potato purée. For the first time in 19 years, Street is doing a Thanksgiving menu, and he’s gone totally Texas with smoked turkey, venison, 44 Farms ribeye and buffalo filet mignon. Desserts stay Southern traditional: Jack Daniels pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake and sweet potato crème brulee. Appetizers include: boneless quail and cornbread dressing with jalapeño cranberry sauce; lobster butternut squash bisque and venison tamale with tomatillo sauce and cotija cheese. Let’s all give thanks for true Texas cuisine.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL
The AT-6 Trainer and North American aviation in Texas By Wayne Swearingen My friends all know my passion for military history, World War II planes and honoring our veterans. This story covers 76 years as I observed and participated. I hope to follow with a much bigger story up next week about how the Dallas/Fort Worth area was saved from the depression and forever transformed during World War II. In 1939, when I was six, my dad took me to Randolph Army Air Force Base north of our home in San Antonio. We drove out on the runway to watch this beautiful AT-6 (Advanced Trainer) make a perfect landing, taxi up and park near us. Out stepped a handsome young lieutenant, Paul Dellinger, a West Point graduate, who my dad had
befriended when he joined our church. Lt. Dellinger, and later his family, were to become lifelong friends. In 1951, Col. Dellinger was heading the AFROTC at Baylor University and was instrumental in advising my dad to send me to Baylor to enroll in school and AFROTC, and then head toward my first career as a pilot in the Air Force The AT-6 (Advanced Trainer). after graduation.

trainer, the World War II T-6. (See picture, yours truly, second from right.) We may look cocky, but in truth, we were all scared to death at first.

Before the assassination, Kasten taught about law and the legal process in history and civics classes, drawing on his experience as a Dallas Police Reservist. He brought in a Super 8 film about drugs and the dangers of marijuana. He discussed the rights of the police and the accused. He arranged for police to stage a raid at one of the student’s houses. While his students were engaged, he knew he was really pushing the envelope with the guy in the corner office. That had given students some flavor of police and the law pre-JFK. Earlier in the year, Kasten did his due diligence, completing the required paperwork for inviting in outside speakers. A young SMU student from West Africa was the son of a leader of his country, and destined to hold a high level role on his return. While the class was engaged by someone from another part of the world, the principal dropped by, later confronting Kasten about having a black speaker. Kasten assured the man that he had gotten approval, but the form didn’t ask for skin color. Another speaker Kasten invited was Al Lipscomb, who had made himself widely known then at City Council meetings. “Study hall teachers were aligned with the principal, seeking his approval, so they made a point of letting him know when there was ‘a black person’ in the building,” he explained. When Kasten was called to the office, Harris admonished him, saying he was never to have a black person in the building. “The kids talked about it for days, unlike their other subjects,” he quipped. This did not stop the innovative teacher from being a thorn in his principal’s side. Wes Wise was mayor at the time, and, when he addressed Kasten’s class, it was the first time a mayor had spoken at BA. He searched for films for his classes that he thought were thoughtprovoking, like “12 Angry Men” and “Lord of the Flies,” and then let students freely express their thoughts about them, whether by acting out scenarios or talking about them. When Harris dropped by, he admonished the teacher, with a harsh, “You never know
what they’ll come up with!” There was a mandate that students take a several-week class teaching anticommunism. Kasten took a different approach, recognizing extremism as a world issue as well. He researched the library to acquire a huge cache of addresses for extremist organizations throughout the country, and sent a form letter to each, including the American Nazi Party, the Ku Klux Klan and the Communist Party of the United States, to name a few. He identified himself as a world history teacher at BA in Dallas and asked each to send him literature about their groups and what they believed, to share with his classes. Shortly he received more than a hundred documents, recordings, newspapers and other materials for students to choose to read and report about. It was his way of fulfilling the “anti-communism” requirement. He said that one slipped by the principal! Following the Watts riots, it came up in class that one parent was a director of the John Birch Society, and another was with the ACLU. Students were outspoken about it, so Kasten used the opportunity to launch into lively discussion about their ideas. What is democracy? Afterward, Harris made a PA announcement about two required all-period assemblies. (The school of 4,000 had to be seated in halves). The speaker was Melvin Munn, an ultra-conservative broadcaster, who spewed radical, right wing commentary about the black population being manipulated by the communist party and other related remarks. The student whose father was active with the ACLU called his Dad. “You’ve got to see this.” After dashing to the assembly, the father launched a complaint to the school board opposing propaganda. Kasten continued to be a thorn in Harris’ side. Eventually, Harris was relegated to an administrative job at DISD that included serving as a substitute principal. The last time Kasten saw his former employer was in a closet-sized office at the administration building rubber-stamping field trip permits. A Police Reserve Officer’s duty when the world changed. At that time, the City was leery about legal matters pertaining to Police Reserve
the T-6 was built during World War II, but also the P-51 Mustang fighter and the B-24 Liberator bomber. Our tour guide was Gary Collett, senior director at Cushman and Wakefield, whose dad flew 50 combat missions in the Pacific in B-24s during World War II. The plant has been renamed Dallas Global and is located just west of Hensley Field, east of Grand Prairie and south of Jefferson Ave. Others on the tour saw real estate, but I stepped back into history, where my T-6 was built. Stay tuned for the story to follow soon. Wayne Swearingen, CRE, is a principal at Barclay Commercial Group and lives adjacent to the Katy Trail. Contact him at wswearingen@ barclaycom.com.
Officers getting hurt while on duty. Although they completed the same training as officers on the firing range, they weren’t allowed to carry guns or drive squad cars. That was the case on Nov. 24, 1963 when Kasten was on duty, posted outside the downtown police building basement at the time of Lee Harvey Oswald’s transfer. After Jack Ruby’s shot was heard, the street turned into chaos, and Kasten quickly revved up to crisis crowd control mode. “Plan A” had been to transport Lee Harvey Oswald by armored truck rather than a police or sheriff car. After his shooting, he was removed instead by ambulance. When the armored truck exited the basement, a door was left open, and Kasten noticed it swinging, potentially hurting bystanders as it drove by. He can be seen in news video running after the truck, closing and securing the door. In his interview, Kasten shared an anecdote: A couple of times, while Kasten rode with Dallas police officers, they stopped for coffee at a place called the Carousel Club, where he was introduced more than once to the owner, Jack Ruby. After that week in November, 1963, the FBI took a report from him, as they did everyone present or near the police building, and those officers and reservists on duty. Sometime later, Kasten reached out to see his FBI report, and was stunned to find that some of the facts, including his having met Ruby before, were recorded incorrectly. He presumes the FBI agent taking the interview wanted to help out his police officer brothers by not disclosing their choice of coffee shops! Another century, still learning. Kasten and his wife, Deanna were married Dec. 22, 1963. They have twin daughters and a son, along with five grandchildren. While he’s been very active with Korean War Veterans and Jewish War Veterans for years, the retired educator plans to slow down at the end of this year and start writing. He’s interested in covering the tragedies in history in the ’60s, such as civil rights, marches, Vietnam and more. At one time, Kasten worked as a park ranger. An interesting story he would like to tell is about the numbers of people who have gone missing in our national forests. He and Deanna also have plans to revisit Korea.

As condensed by the author, in 1867, for his public readings. Presented here in seven weekly installments with original illustrations by John Leech. STAVE TWO. THE FIRST OF THE THREE SPIRITS
W
hen Scrooge awoke, it was so dark, that, looking out of bed, he could scarcely distinguish the transparent window from the opaque walls of his chamber, until suddenly the church clock tolled a deep, dull, hollow, melancholy ONE. Light flashed up in the room upon the instant, and the curtains of his bed were drawn aside by a strange figure, -- like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions. Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. It held a branch of fresh green holly in its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm. “Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?” “I am!” “Who and what are you?” “I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.” “Long past?” “No. Your past. The things that you will see with me are shadows of the things that have been; they will have no consciousness of us.” Scrooge then made bold to inquire what business brought him there. “Your welfare. Rise, and walk with me!” It would have been in vain for Scrooge to plead that the weather and the hour were not adapted to pedestrian purposes; that bed was warm, and the thermometer a long way below freezing; that he was clad but lightly in his slippers, dressing-gown, and nightcap; and that he had a cold upon him at that time. The grasp, though gentle as a woman's hand, was not to be resisted. He rose; but finding that the Spirit made towards the window, clasped its robe in supplication. “I am a mortal, and liable to fall.” “Bear but a touch of my hand there,” said the Spirit, laying it upon his heart, “and you shall be upheld in more than this!” As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall, and stood in the busy thoroughfares of a city. It was made plain enough by the dressing of the shops that
here, too, it was Christmas time. The Ghost stopped at a certain warehouse door, and asked Scrooge if he knew it. “Know it! Was I apprenticed here!” They went in. At sight of an old gentleman in a Welsh wig, sitting behind such a high desk that, if he had been two inches taller, he must have knocked his head against the ceiling, Scrooge cried in great excitement: “Why, it's old Fezziwig! Bless his heart, it's
warehouse was as snug and warm and dry and bright a ball-room as you would desire to see upon a winter's night. In came a fiddler with a music-book, and went up to the lofty desk, and made an orchestra of it, and tuned like fifty stomach-aches. In came Mrs. Fezziwig, one vast substantial smile. In came the three Miss Fezziwigs, beaming and lovable. In came the six young followers whose hearts they broke. In came all the young men and women employed in the business. In came the housemaid, with her cousin the baker. In came the cook, with her brother's particular friend the milkman. In they all came one after another; some shyly, some boldly, some gracefully, some awkwardly, some pushing, some pulling; in they all came, anyhow and everyhow. Away they all went, twenty couple at once; hands half round and back again the other way; down the middle and up again; round and round in various stages of affectionate grouping; old top couple always turning up in the wrong place; new top couple starting off again, as soon as they got there; all top couples at last, and not a bottom one to help them. When this result was brought about, old Fezziwig, clapping his hands to stop the dance, cried out, “Well done!” and the fiddler plunged his hot face into a pot of porter especially provided for that
Scrooge struggles with the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Fezziwig, alive again!” Old Fezziwig laid down his pen, and looked up at the clock, which pointed to the hour of seven. He rubbed his hands; adjusted his capacious waistcoat; laughed all over himself, from his shoes to his organ of benevolence; and called out in a comfortable, oily, rich, fat, jovial voice: “Yo ho, there! Ebenezer! Dick!” A living and moving picture of Scrooge's former self, a young man, came briskly in, accompanied by his fellowprentice. “Dick Wilkins, to be sure!” said Scrooge to the Ghost. “My old fellow-prentice, bless me, yes. There he is. He was very much attached to me, was Dick. Poor Dick! Dear, dear!” “Yo ho, my boys!” said Fezziwig. “No more work to-night. Christmas eve, Dick. Christmas, Ebenezer! Let's have the shutters up, before a man can say Jack Robinson! Clear away, my lads, and let's have lots of room here!” Clear away! There was nothing they wouldn't have cleared away, or couldn't have cleared away, with old Fezziwig looking on. It was done in a minute. Every movable was packed off, as if it were dismissed from public life forevermore; the floor was swept and watered, the lamps were trimmed, fuel was heaped upon the fire; and the
purpose. There were more dances, and there were forfeits, and more dances, and there was cake, and there was negus, and there was a great piece of Cold Roast, and there was a great piece of Cold Boiled, and there were mince-pies, and plenty of beer. But the great effect of the evening came after the Roast and Boiled, when the fiddler struck up “Sir Roger de Coverley.” Then old Fezziwig stood out to dance with Mrs. Fezziwig. Top couple, too; with a good stiff piece of work cut out for them; three or four and twenty pair of partners; people who were not to be trifled with; people who would dance, and had no notion of walking. But if they had been twice as many, -- four times, -- old Fezziwig would have been a match for them and so would Mrs. Fezziwig. As to her, she was worthy to be his partner in every sense of the term. A positive light appeared to issue from Fezziwig's calves. They shone in every part of the dance. You couldn't have predicted, at any given time, what would become of 'em next. And when old Fezziwig and Mrs. Fezziwig had gone all through the dance, -advance and retire, turn your partner, bow and courtesy, corkscrew, thread the needle, and back again to your place,
-- Fezziwig “cut,” -- cut so deftly, that he appeared to wink with his legs. When the clock struck eleven this domestic ball broke up. Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig took their stations, one on either side the door, and, shaking hands with every person individually as he or she went out, wished him or her a Merry Christmas. When everybody had retired but the two 'prentices, they did the same to them; and thus the cheerful voices died away, and the lads were left to their beds which were under a counter in the back shop. “A small matter,” said the Ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude. He has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money, -- three or four perhaps. Is that so much that he deserves this praise?” “It isn't that,” said Scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter self, -- “it isn't that, Spirit. He has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count 'em up: what then? The happiness he gives is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.” He felt the Spirit's glance, and stopped. “What is the matter?” “Nothing particular.” “Something, I think?” “No, no. I should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. That's all.” “My time grows short,” observed the Spirit. “Quick!” This was not addressed to Scrooge, or to any one whom he could see, but it produced an immediate effect. For again he saw himself. He was older now; a man in the prime of life. He was not alone, but sat by the side of a fair young girl in a black dress, in whose eyes there were tears. “It matters little,” she said softly to Scrooge's former self. “To you, very little. Another idol has displaced me; and if it can comfort you in time to come, as I would have tried to do, I have no just cause to grieve.” “What Idol has displaced you?” “A golden one. You fear the world too much. I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master-passion, Gain, engrosses you Have I not?” “What then? Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then? I am not changed towards you. Have I ever sought release from our engagement?” “In words, no. Never.” “In what, then?” “In a changed nature; in an altered spirit; in another atmosphere of life; another Hope as its great end. If you were free to-day, to-morrow, yesterday, can even I believe that you would choose a dowerless girl; or, choosing her, do I not know that your repentance and regret would surely follow? I do; and I release you. With a full heart, for the love of him you once were.” “Spirit! remove me from this place.” “I told you these were shadows of the things that have been,” said the Ghost. “That they are what they are, do not blame me!” “Remove me!” Scrooge exclaimed. “I cannot bear it! Leave me! Take me back. Haunt me no longer!” As he struggled with the Spirit he was conscious of being exhausted, and overcome by an irresistible drowsiness; and, further, of being in his own bed-room. He had barely time to reel to bed before he sank into a heavy sleep. Continues next week with Part 4

them to your yard. Their bright colors attract predators, and their main defense mechanism is a bad taste, so predators quickly learn to leave them alone. Walk through the sculptured gardens to a shack in the back of the property to see the snake exhibit. All the snakes are caged behind glass. Many are dangerous. Next to the snake exhibit is a rainwater recycling exhibit by Texas A&M. In the lobby exhibit are additional snakes and even some toads. When I visited, the lobby snakes were moving about. The ones in the snake shack were largely immobile. There is an excellent museum shop with Texas, gardening and insect-related items. You can learn a lot at the TDG, open daily, even when the State Fair is not in session. Admission is $8 per person, $6 for over 60 and $4 for children between ages four to 11. Prices are cut in half during the State Fair, but you may have to pay for fair grounds admission.

which plants they’ll lay eggs on — known as their larval hosts. At the butterfly house you’ll learn the difference between a cocoon, chrysalis and pupa. It’s complicated, and I’m still not sure I got it. What people commonly refer to as a cocoon is actually a pupa. A cocoon is the silk covering that moths wrap their pupa in. Since the butterfly house contains not only butterflies, but also moths, you’ll see moth pupae and butterfly chrysalises — they look different. The butterfly house exhibits pupae in various stages of growth. The butterflies and moths that emerge are released every day at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the butterfly house. They only live for about two weeks. You can also learn the differences between butterflies and moths. Butterflies usually have brighter colors to deter natural predators. The moths are mainly nocturnal, so they do not rely on color as much, but they are still beautiful. One of the brightest and most colorful butterflies is the monarch. At 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., TDG conducts a monarch butterfly release into the wild in front of the gardens. The monarch butterfly’s larval host plant is the milkweed. Planting milkweed would attract

MOVIE TRAILER
Based on true story, casting caves in ‘The 33’
By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
When a movie tells the story of a real life event that was watched in real time by millions all over the Earth, it needs to be compelling and non-formulaic. This is a necessity as everyone watching knows the outcome, particularly for an event that happened just five years ago. In “The 33,” the story isn’t if the 33 miners trapped in a collapsed Chilean mine will survive as much as creatively showing their plight and the rescue effort that occurred 2,300 feet above them. Unfortunately, their story, while touching, is laid to waste by horrible pacing and some of the worst casting in recent memory. While there were literally hundreds of people affected by the mine’s collapse, “The 33” understandably focuses on a handful of characters who are composites of the entire group. Mario (Antonio Banderas) is a loving husband and father who charismatically leads the men when all hope is lost. Don Lucho (Lou Diamond Phillips) is their supervisor, walking the fine line between company man and concern for the miner’s well being. There’s Alex (Mario Casas), a soon to be father, and a homeless alcoholic, Dario (Juan Pablo Raba), who has tossed his sister and only living family member, Maria (Juliette Binoche), to the wayside. There’s even a man, Yonni (Oscar Nunez), caught in a hilarious love triangle between his wife and mistress. These are rich, interesting characters that are given nothing more than moments of introduction. Once the collapse occurs, every character other than Banderas’ Mario is rendered into nothing more than dirty faces in the dark. The collapse itself is masterfully created by director Patrica Riggen. It occurs in the first thirty minutes of “The 33,” but
isn’t drawn out and happens with such ferocious intensity that it zips by in the blink of an eye. The filmmakers quite rightfully did not turn the moment into an overwrought Hollywood action sequence and treat it with respect, showing the bravery of the miners making sure that all of them are accounted for without turning any of them into superheroes. When it becomes apparent that the private mining company isn’t interested in saving the men, the Chilean Minister of Mining, Laurence Golborne (Rodrigo Santoro), steps in to jump start the rescue effort. He enlists drilling expert Andre Sougarret (Gabriel Byrne) to come in and lead a what seems like impossible task. This is when “The 33” grinds to a halt. The movie shifts from the men trapped underground to the spoon-fed emotionalism of the people above. A small tent city, loaded with family of the miners, pops up on the drilling site and all of the interaction that occurs there is hamfisted, particularly the ridiculous conversations between Laurence and Maria. When “The 33” sticks underground with the miners, it is fantastic. The drama is heavy with a few fantastic moments of levity. The most inspired moment of the entire movie is a gorgeously shot and poetic dream-like sequence as the 33 men sit down to share their last can of tuna. It’s truly heartfelt and the exact type of creativity that a movie like this needs. Juliette Binoche and Gabriel Byrne are both fine actors with loads of pedigree. However, they are so miscast in “The 33” that it almost seems intentional. Binoche is as not Chilean as a human being can possibly get, and her over the top persona only makes her a distraction every time she is on screen. Byrne does better as he stays mostly low key, but it’s borderline impossible for him to disguise his Irish brogue. In addition to being inexplicably

handsome, even when covered in dirt, Antonio Banderas has put in the finest acting of his career in “The 33.” His charisma is on full display, and he even hackneyed dialogue sound like prose. Banderas has plenty of lengthy speeches to make and when his eyes well up, it’s difficult to keep yours from doing the same. The end of “The 33” feels extremely rushed, almost glazing over the danger involved as the miners are slowly pulled from the mine. The final scene, handled with beauty and grace by Lou Diamond Phillips, is a powerful and inspired tribute to everyone involved with saving these 33 souls. If the rest of “The 33” had that type of creativity, it would be a surefire Oscar contender. Sadly, it’s overcome by melodrama and formula.
