Area pioneer retires leaving lasting impression

By Krystina Martinez and Rick Holter/KERA News A lot of people get praised for “leaving a mark” on a city, but Gail Thomas will be retiring from the Trinity Trust Foundation at year’s end with fingerprints all over Dallas.

She co-founded the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture. As head of the Trinity Trust, Thomas raised money for the signature Calatrava bridges, the revitalized Pegasus over the convention center and the Ron Kirk pedestrian bridge.

She’s retiring from the Trinity Trust at the end of the year, with her biggest dream within reach — an urban park along the Trinity River. That project has been mired in controversy for almost two decades, mainly Photo by the Trinity Trust Foundation over a proposed toll road between the river’s Renderings of an urban park along the Trinity River. levees.

He recently announced the

“Bob [Miller] has been a friend, a mentor and a hero of mine for years,” Strangis said. “This experience of getting to work in company of guys I love and respect has been awe-striking.”

Strangis started in Dallas in 1993 when he moved from Minnesota with the North Stars in their franchise relocation. At the age of 18, he was calling games on public-access TV for various high school and college sports, building his reputation. Before long, Strangis was working alongside the broadcaster of the North Stars — Al Shaver — as a color commentator.

UPTOWN GIRL

New Year’s Eve brings ‘Lights. Sparkles. Action!’

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com People from all over the nation venture down to Dallas to ring in the New Year. They whip out their most sparkly, glittery dresses, fancy masks and snazzy heels, and they equip themselves with glow sticks and confetti, ready to countdown and welcome the New Year with just as much or more excitement than the last.

Lucky for us Uptowners, we’re already here. The only hard part is deciding where to go …

So the list of New Year’s Eve parties in Dallas is pretty much endless. From every hotel and convention center downtown to all of the clubs in Uptown and bars of Deep Ellum and Lower Greenville, just about everyone will be celebrating to the highest of their extent. However, there are some very special celebrations throughout the city that have been planned for some months.

There are concerts, masquerade balls, glow parties, etc., and they

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun." are all going down in your city this Saturday night. So pick your poison and get ready to say goodbye to the world … at least until next year.

Some of the most wellknown New Year’s Eve parties throughout Dallas begin downtown. The night sky will be illuminated with lights for the final moments of 2016, as Reunion Tower showers downtown with thousands of colorful fireworks to ring in the New Year. View the spectacle from Happiest Hour, the NYLO Soda Bar, Old Red

Museum, Vetted Well or various other nearby venues.

Ring in the New Year at Hotel ZaZa’s famous NYE party, where you can opt for masquerade or simply all-glitter-everything. Or attend the seventh annual Dallas NYE Ball at the Crescent Hotel, where you can feel like you’re in Vegas from the heart of D-town.

More famous downtown parties include The Royal Masquerade Ball at the West End Event Center, the Dallas NYE Ball at the Crown Plaza, New Year No Rules at the W Hotel, The Art of Celebration at The Tower Club and Bollywood NYE at the Hyatt. The Perot Museum will also be celebrating Social Science Night on the 31st with Beats and Bubbly, an adults-only event where you can explore the museum without the distraction of kids — only booze.

One of the most highly-attended NYE celebrations is Lights All Night, a two-day music festival at Dallas Market Hall. This year, the concert will take over both nights of the weekend, Friday,

Dec. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 31, with famous artists like Zedd, Deadmau5, Above and Beyond and A$AP Ferg.

Uptown will be bumping and grinding throughout the night as well, at Sisu’s Wonderland NYE, The Tipsy Alchemist, Next Door, Eastwood’s and pretty much every other bar you can name from Cedar Springs to McKinney.

Or venture east to Deep Ellum for Truth & Alibi’s NYE party, Glitz N Glow at The Nines and venues like Punk Society or more lowkey bars like Dot’s that will all be celebrating as well.

And don’t forget about Knox/ Henderson and Lower Greenville, where you can ring in the New Year at the Granada Theater, The Whippersnapper and Henderson Tap House. Go for Beauty Bar’s disco party; Vegas NYE at The Dram; or for a classier feel, attend The Eberhard’s NYE Golden Gala.

Bring out your best sparkles and leave the lipstick at home, because if you’re lucky, it’ll be gone before the New Year begins.

Year-end rush on procedures

By Dr. Kim Washington washington.k@att.net

It’s the end of the year, which means that colonoscopies are being done with amazing frequency this month. These procedures can very well be life saving as polyps are found, which are pre-canDr. Washington cerous. Roughly 200,000 patients are found to have one or more polyps on colonoscopy each year.

Normal colon wall is smooth and pink.

Polyps are areas of raised irregular colon wall tissue. These consist of colon wall cells that are clumped together and grow into small masses.

These polyps can enlarge over time to become several centimeters in size.

Once polyps are seen on colonoscopy, they are typically removed using the colonoscope unless the polyp is too large, or concerning for cancer at which point, it will be biopsied. The whole purpose of screening colonoscopy is to find these polyps and remove them because of the risk of colon cancer from them.

Based on research performed on the progression of colon cancer, the most common type takes roughly 10 years to develop from normal colon cell to colon cancer. A normal

colon cell grows abnormally to become an adenoma then develop into adenocarcinoma (or cancer). Polyps are typically adenomas. This is the reason why routine colonoscopies are so important to preventing colon cancer.

Most patients who are found to have a single or multiple small polyps are unlikely to have cancer when the polyps are evaluated by pathology. However, the tissue is always sent to ensure that no cancer cells are found as a finding of malignancy on colonoscopy necessitates colon surgery.

Polyps are so common, therefore, do not fear if your gastroenterologist notifies you after the procedure that polyps were found. This does not mean you have cancer — you must wait for the pathology results. The results can take anywhere from two to five business days to receive from the laboratory. At that time, the gastroenterologist’s office will contact you with results.

If you are older than 50 years of age or have a parent with colon cancer diagnosed younger than 60 years of age, discuss this with your primary care physician and get a colonoscopy sooner rather than later.

Dr. Kimberly Washington, a general surgeon at Highlander Surgical Associates in Arlington, maintains an interest in health education and advocacy.

LIFE ON THE TRAIL

Going around in circles

By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com

My life often feels like Groundhog Day Part 2. In“Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray’s character is trapped in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again. My daily dog-care routine consists of walking several shifts of dogs (4–5 miles total) in the morning (while the ones left behind howl like stuck pigs), feeding the Dr. Leermakers dogs (not as easy as it sounds when several have special mealtime needs), and rotating foster dogs out of their crates so they all get some attention and snuggle time from their foster mama. In the evening I walk dogs (again), feed them (again) and then fight for my allotted 6” of couch space as Rusty, Polly and Angel (all 50 lbs.) vie for the best spot on my lap. The next day I get up and repeat the whole routine all over again. Because dogs, like children, require care every day — including holidays — there doesn’t seem to be any break in the foreseeable future. I love my foster dogs, and I certainly benefit from plenty of exercise, but I get tired of the “same old, same old.” The obvious solution is to have fewer foster dogs so I have time to do other things in my “leisure” time.

If you, too, feel like you’re stuck in a rut, it may be time for a change in 2017. Start by asking if you’re big-b “Bored” (with your life) or just little-b “bored” (need to shake something up a little). If you’re Bored with your life, you may need to change your job or career, end an unsatisfying or damaging relationship, go back to school or make another major life change.

If you’re just bored and want to shake something up, now’s the time to set a few goals for the new year: Challenge yourself at work. Happiness at work is influenced by three major factors: 1) having a short commute; 2) having friends at work; and 3) being challenged. If you’re not feeling challenged at work:

• Ask your supervisor to give you a new project or responsibility • Take a class to learn new skills • Join a committee or volunteer to chair a new committee. You may make a few new friends in the process Reduce your screen time. Turn off your computer or TV for a few hours a day. Read a book, play a musical instrument or listen to music instead of spending time on Facebook. Reading and music are terrific stress relievers.

Try something new in your leisure time.

Engaging in new activities increases the activation of dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters associated with energy and elation. Tired of the same old dinner-and-a-movie outing with your family? Do something more creative: • See a play instead of a movie (check out Pocket Sandwich Theater for family friendly plays in a casual atmosphere) • Take a cooking class • Go to an indoor soccer match or roller derby game • Hit the driving range, batting cages or rock climbing wall • Try stand up paddle boarding, sailing or kayaking • Check Groupon for inspiration Tweak your vacation. Not excited about yet another beach or skiing getaway? Take a vacation that focuses on learning a new sport or skill (horseback riding, tennis, dancing, creative writing or painting). Some universities offer recreational summer courses for adults. Enjoy your own summer camp while your children are away at camp. Or make a difference helping people or wildlife on a volunteer vacation.

This year I will set a goal to do something new (and hopefully non-dog-related) at least once a month. What goals will you set for 2017?

Happy New Year!

MULL IT OVER

Remembering those sports world lost in 2016

By David Mullen

In the years that I have been writing this column, there has not been such a tragic year in sports as 2016. Three full Mull It Over columns this year were dedicated to the deaths of pioneers (Ali, Summitt and Palmer) in their respective sports, while there were numerous mentions of losses in other columns throughout the year. Some were my heroes, some I highly respected and some I knew personally. As is our endof-the-year tradition, we look back at losses in the sports world with so many having left a lasting impact.

All you need is motivation

By Turner Cavender turner@dallasfbbc.com

I understand the frustrations that you have when it comes to you body. I know all about your insecurities over Turner Cavender the size of your thighs and how hopeless that can feel.

And today I’m here to motivate you to take action.

The answer to your body frustrations is to get you up off the couch and into the gym, day after day.

So here’s my pep talk in bullet form — 21 rewards that you will gain from regular exercise.

Do yourself a favor and print this list and post it where you’ll see it every day. When you need motivation or encouragement, simply read over this list and take action.

Remember that action alleviates anxiety. So whenever you’re feeling anxious over the current shape of your body, take that as a reminder to jump into action.

And then begin to reap these 21 rewards of exercise: 1. You’ll reset your body: Exercise has been described as a giant reset button. A good workout will block appetite swings, improve your mood and even help you sleep.

2. Your clothes will fit better: Consistent exercise will tone and tighten your body, causing your clothes to not only fit better but to also look nicer. Exercise also ensures that soon you’ll be trading your clothes in for smaller sizes.

3. You’ll be less stressed: You have enough stress in your life—it’s time for a break. A

good workout invigorates your muscles, leaving you relaxed and less stressed.

4. You’ll have more energy: WebMD tallied research studies and concluded that 90 percent of them prove exercise increases energy levels in sedentary patients. Next time you feel fatigued, fight it will the most powerful tool available: exercise.

5. You’ll be stronger: Exercise improves muscle strength and endurance, two things that you use throughout each day. When you exercise consistently you’ll be pleasantly surprised when difficult tasks begin to seem easy.

6. You’ll be less likely to binge: Exercise has a powerful anti-binge effect on the body. This is due in part by an increase in sensitivity to leptin, a protein hormone, which has an appetite-taming effect.

7. You’ll burn calories: You know that excess body fat is made up of stored and unused calories. Fight back by burning loads of calories with fat-blasting workouts.

8. You’ll be more confident: Who doesn’t wish they walked and talked with more confidence? A consistent exercise program will do just that. As your body becomes more fit, watch as your confidence skyrockets.

9. You’ll have fun: Believe it or not, exercise can be extremely enjoyable. Remember how fun it was to run around as a child? Tap into your inner child as you find a mode of exercise that gets you excited.

10. You’ll reduce your blood pressure: Exercise has been proven more effective than medication in reducing blood pressure to normal NEED cont'd on page 10

OUR FRIENDS PLACE

Transitional living for young girls affected by abuse, neglect, poverty or homelessness

By Sally Blanton

whole house of young women with the onsite site manager/staff member. Our focus is to give the young women all the skills they need to become economically self-sufficient.

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

Q What is your mission or highest purpose?

A O ur Friends Place (OFP) is dedicated to

providing a foundation for young women to build from adversity, learning a self-reliant approach to their own development. Our vision is to break the generational cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness by providing a stable and encouraging home atmosphere for young women to learn the necessary life skills for independent living. Susybelle Gosslee founded OFP in September 1985, and we served our first young woman in December 1987.

Q H ow many girls are served each year?

A We serve between 37-44 young women residentially each year.

QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?

A Committees for the board, gala committees and assistance with the event, data entry, office help and the occasional one-time opportunities.

QW hat is difficult about your job?

A The fact that there are not enough program slots in the Dallas Metroplex to help all the young women in need. It is very difficult to turn away a young woman because we do not have a bed for them.

Q I n a short paragraph please tell how a specific person or family was helped.

A One example is Quin. She came to us at age

18 after being thrown out by her mother who had numerous issues. Quin was able to get a part-time job and graduated from high school on-time. In the fall she started at the University of North Texas – Denton (UNT), yet the dorms shut down on holidays and the summer. For two years, until she was able to get an apartment, Quin came “home” to OFP. Quin graduated from UNT in four years and has a full-time position in the insurance industry. She even sat on the OFP board until she decided to return to school to get her masters.

Q What are your critical needs now, besides money donations?

A Being a small agency with only six full-time

staff, we love volunteers who want to get involved either serving on committees or assisting with our annual event – Our Friends Place Gala.

QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the calendar?

A The 14th annual Our Friends Place Gala –

April 29, 2017, Omni Hotel. Tickets are $200 and include the auction, casino, dancing, dinner and an open bar.

Q What is your facility like?

A OFP has two Transitional Living Centers

(TLC), which are shared apartment living.

Each TLC has three 3-person apartments for young women so that each person has their own small bedroom. The three young women in each apartment share a kitchen, dining area and living space as well as a bathroom. Once a week Life Skills meetings and cooking classes/dinner is shared by the

Q S uppose your non-profit received a $20,000 check in the mail today… where would it immediately be put to good use?

We would use the money in one of two ways — to support the salaries of our program staff or to do upgrades to one of our facilities.

candace@candysdirt.com You have to love Dallas architecture.

With world-class architects and builders at our fingertips, we really have the best of everything and the only limit is your imagination. And of course you can read the latest dirt on The Dirt on CandysDirt.com. So go to CandysDirt. com right now and subscribe! Don’t forget our vacation home blog SecondShelters.com ... a vacay home would be great right about now!

Our Monday Morning Millionaire this week is off the charts in imagination, and in execution. If Harry Potter needed a home in Texas, this Highland Park architectural masterpiece would do nicely.

I’ve always thought 3619 Crescent Ave. looked like it was inspired by Hogwarts, but the design was actually drawn from a style of Romanesque Revival architecture called Richardsonian Romanesque, after architect Henry Hobson Richardson.

Richardson is known for designing the Trinity Church in Boston, a National Historic Landmark. Richardson is also the only American architect to have a style named for him, and his style was — and is — expensive to create. You’ll see a number of Texas county courthouses that have definite aspects of Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style.

Originally built for Donald and Mary Catherine Huffines in 2005, it is truly an original. I remember rounding the corner of Cowper years ago and having to pick my jaw up off my lap at the sight of it. I actually pulled over and stared at it for some time. It was like nothing we’d ever seen in Dallas, and frankly nothing constructed since then can hold a candle to it.

If you’ve been keeping up with Texas politics, Huffines is the Republican Candace Evans State Senator for District 16. His grandfather founded the Huffines Auto Group in 1924, and he and twin brother Phillip started one of the largest real estate land development companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, Huffines Communities.

So yes, you could say he knows a thing or two about real estate and homes. Huffines hired Warren Wilke and the two put their heads together to come up with the home Huffines dubbed Coram Deo, a Latin phrase meaning “in the presence of God.” The exterior is made of granite shipped in from all over the world.

There is nothing bland or boring anywhere. Columns, turrets, balusters, arches and detailed carvings abound. The roof is natural rock slate with custom-designed copper finials and an all-copper gutter system.

We could fill a book trying to describe everything about the three-story, 13,984-square-foot mansion but we’ll try to keep it concise.

There are seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, three powder baths, a great room, family room, office, library, breakfast area, game room, wine cellar, playroom, nursery, guest suite, billiard room (with a kitchen) and a theater (with a kitchen).

Let me draw a breath.

The house has seven fireplaces.

Of course, there is an elevator. There is a wellness center with a sauna,

DECEMBER 30, 2016 - JANUARY 5, 2017

steam room, his-and-hers cabana baths, an exercise room, two pools and spas, a waterfall and enough backyard for a good game of touch football as it’s on one of the largest lots in Highland Park. There is room for four cars in two attached garages. If you feel faint, join the crowd.

Although this home may sound over the top and somewhat intimidating, it’s not. I’ve been in the house and it’s surprisingly cozy. Seriously. You’d never realize it’s enormous because it was carefully laid out for a closeknit family with five active children.

The house was created with two distinct needs, to be suited for entertaining but to clearly serve as a family home first.

There is so much to look at in this one-of-a-kind wonder, listed at $8.695 million that you’re going to have to call Doris Jacobs with Allie Beth Allman and Associates and see it for yourself. This is one instance where words really don’t do it justice. So as you recover from the holiday, sit back, relax and enjoy the gorgeous photos.

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.

HAMMER AND NAILS

Cluttered closet causes clog

By Stephan Sardone

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com One of my biggest pet peeves is an overly cluttered hall closet. By “hall closet,” I mean your entryway closet or any spare closet spaces throughout the home.

Much like our own personal closets, these tiny, spare spaces tend to become black holes, gathering places for extra items — many of which are unrelated to each other.

The vacuum may end up there, along with winter coats and board games.

Because these spaces tend to be quick drop-off/pick-up spots, we need them to be easily accessible and organized for immediate needs. I know we must work with the room we’ve got, but there are ways to cut down the clutter and organize.

After deciding on the purpose of your closet, envision a plan for organization. If it’s for linens, consider more shelves and cubbies to hold baskets of washcloths and hand towels. If it’s for coats, Stephan Sardone shoes and out-the-door items, you may want to start the shelving and cubbies halfway down the wall. That way, you leave room for long coats and jackets. If your closet is multi-purpose, divide it down the middle with shelving and use each side for its own purpose.

Tiny closets present a problem when organizing. No matter what, it looks cluttered, and the more organizational features you add, the more cramped it looks. For those limited spaces, I suggest installing three (or however many will fit) large butcher block shelves to make use of all the negative space. These are essentially large, floating shelves that are sturdy and look nice.

For convenience, install a jamb light that is activated by opening the door; it’ll make those quick visits more efficient and less frustrating. Get creative with overhead fixtures and consider shelf lighting, as it will help eliminate those shadowy parts of the closet.

Use the door to your advantage. If

you’re tired of losing your umbrellas in the closet abyss, put up an umbrella holder on the back of the door. In fact, you might just install a fixture with several hanging spots for other items as well. For a linen closet, the door could be the perfect place to hang robes or a hamper for when guests are finished using their towels. Or, instead of the fixture, you could hang a mirror; it adds another layer of convenience to our fastpaced mornings.

Something I’ve seen a lot lately is opening the entry way closet completely.

Take off the door, install an interior bench and put hooks on the back wall; you’ll have a spot to take off your shoes and hang your coat right as you walk in.

No matter what you use your closet for, it’s always fun to play with color. Either paint the interior walls something fun or just stick to painting the back door something bold. You’d be surprised how such a little space (when organized) can make such a huge difference in your daily life.

that. In the 20th century, we built a really, really good 20th century city. Lots and lots of roads, lots of concrete, lots of shopping centers and we created a place for commerce. Twenty-first century is different. We’re building a different kind of city now, totally.”

On Dallas’ difficult relationship with the Trinity River: “We’ve come so far. We don’t realize how far we’ve come in our relationship to the Trinity because this problem started in 1908 with The Great Flood.

The flow of the river and the riverbed was just in front of the Old Red Courthouse. That flooded, so [George] Kessler, the great city planner, was brought to town in 1910 and he said, ‘you must move your river.’

“Today, we would never move our river! We would do what San Antonio did. They didn’t move their river, they just created a bypass and when the great rains came, you’d close the downtown waterway and all the floodwaters would go down the bypass.

But we didn’t do that. We moved the river and because we did that in the 30s and 40s, we turned our backs on the river.”

On whether a park along the Trinity River is possible without a parkway: “The park’s going to have a road through it, you have to get to the park. Over the last year, what’s called the ‘dream team’ [Trinity River Design Charette] has worked so hard to create a park that would accommodate a road that would be a beautiful access to the park itself, yet still move cars. I have the good faith that that’s going to happen.”

On why she’s not frustrated the park hasn’t been built yet: “I’m not surprised. It’s huge what we’ve done.

To turn around people’s thinking on what the Trinity River can be for our city has been enormous because we’ve moved from 20th century thinking to 21st century thinking, and that’s taken a long time. So now, people want nature.”

Strangis became the voice for the team. Accompanied by Daryl “Razor” Reaugh, the two quickly rose to an iconic status representing hockey in Dallas.

“Organizations change, players get traded, coaches, owners, all come and go, but Razor and I were always there,” Strangis said. “What we did on air is extremely rare and incredibly hard to duplicate. We were a little part of building something that had never existed here before and that’s something I’m proud of.”

The dynamic duo of ‘Ralph and Razor’ called 20 seasons together. Fans in the community who grew lovers of hockey and the Stars knew that Strangis was not only the team’s play-by-play voice, but was a generous ambassador for the team and the product.

“Ralph was one of the first guys to welcome me to Dallas both personally and professionally when I moved here,” Stars TV pregame, postgame and intermission announcer Josh Bogerrod said. “I imagine that first season without him in the booth was weird on a grander scale than expected.

Lifelong fans and supporters

What all this means is that the week's events can prove pivotal for the year to come, and one's actions will surely shape much of what happens in the approaching months. Anyone who believes that this is just another new year is fooling himself — and there may be a price to pay as a result!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Letting go of one plan in favor of another may be unavoidable, but that doesn't mean you have to let it go for good. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Current affairs will provide inspiration for the next few weeks, and those who work

with you will give you some good ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You are nearing the end of an important personal phase. The fact that it didn't conclude with the passing of the year actually bodes well. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You're not doing what you should be doing, and you know it. You'll have a chance to mend your ways and get back on track.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) When someone lays down the law, you'll want to follow it to the letter – knowing full well that a time for change will come. (March 6-March 20) – Now is no time to protest the coming of a new era — instead, you will want to take advantage of the opportunities it brings.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) Your sense of humor is likely to carry you through a week that would otherwise prove quite trying. Others show their support. (April 5-April 19) – Several people are likely to drift into your orbit, but the cause is unclear. Soon you'll understand what is really going on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may be eager to see how your plans are resonating with others, but you don't want to hold things up for this reason.

Keep moving forward! (May 6-May 20) – Coming events will be worth remembering, and you may be able to build momentum each and every day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may not have realized just what is at stake, but your ability to roll with the punches will surely come in handy.

(June 7-June 20) – You may reconnect with someone who, perhaps years ago, influenced you in a way that you will never forget. Progress continues.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can turn things around and begin anew, but be certain you aren't simply hiding from that which cannot be ignored. (July 8-July 22) – You may be seeking a commitment from someone who is not in a position to give you one, but by week's end you'll know exactly what is possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be approaching a deadline of sorts that makes you more nervous than you would otherwise be. Don't procrastinate! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You will want to be fully prepared before heading into a situation controlled by a rival. You cannot afford any sort of misstep!

hadn’t known anything different until then.”

Although retired, Strangis has kept busy, not spending much time back at the rink.

He recently produced and starred in a play in Dallas.

Nonetheless, last Friday night for the matchup between the Kings and Stars, he was welcomed back to the AAC with open arms. While it wasn’t his first time calling a game from the visitor’s booth, it was the first time he broadcasted for the visiting team.

“Sometimes, I get automatic ‘phrase-ology’ that gets me from one play to the next, and my fill-in used to be just to say ‘Dallas Stars’ so trying not to use that in these Kings games has been tripping me up, especially when we played the Stars on Friday,” Strangis said.

Ralph Strangis, who lives on the Katy Trail, continued to say it was exciting to be back and still feel the support from the local fan base. He also noted that under the right circumstances, he would do this job again for someone.

Strangis will call one more game for the Kings this season, on Thursday, Jan. 24, in Carolina.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week is likely to begin very much as expected for most individuals who are, in the traditional vein, looking back even as they look forward — and the traditional will count for much during these first seven days of the new year.

Some, however, will take advantage of this opportunity to make sweeping changes that seem to flout tradition entirely and lean aggressively toward a bold new future and a new kind of life. Work, family, love, faith — all may be examined and tossed into a melting pot that can yield much that is novel in the lives of many. Almost everyone will know someone who has chosen to throw caution to the wind and do the seemingly inexplicable in order to maximize his or her chances for a brighter future.

Eating Korean without going to Asia

With new turbo, Kia Soul has soul

By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com

By David Boldt

My wife and I decided we’d like to experience Korea without flying nearly onehalf day to actually visit. An Asian friend (she happens to be Chinese) clued us into a fantastic “Little Korea” area of Dallas that is not well known but certainly will be soon.

You can be one of the first non-Asians to discover it.

Centered near the corner of Old Denton Road and Trinity Mills Road (which is the service road for George Bush Parkway), Little Korea is fascinating. There you will find many Korean Bar-B-Que restaurants. We decided to head for one of the newest, Gen, a concept out of California whose first store in Texas opened in this area in October after a long opening delay.

The wait was worth it.

There must be dozens of Korean restaurants in Little Korea. The Korean Bar-B-Que is generally an all-you-can-eat affair, drinks extra. In the same neighborhood, you will find a Japanese dollar store and an Asian grocer. Inside, the grocery is divided into many sections, many of which specialize in a particular Asian cuisine. The Vietnamese restaurant looked great. Next to the grocer is a Pak-Indo restaurant, which attracted many covered women eating what I am told is excellent Pak-Indo food. Also in this area is a sushi restaurant where a model train continuously delivers sushi to the diners. You take what you want and pay at the end. The cashier can tell what you ate by the size and shape of the empty plate.

Since the Korean Bar-B-Que does not usually include dessert on the menu, a number of after-dinner options exist in the area. Most popular seemed to be 85° C. A long line waited to get in. Once inside, you get a tray and tongs and help yourself to what you want from the covered racks of pastries. Then you head to the cashier line.

But first, get a meal or you’ll want to eat everything in sight.

We arrived at Gen early, around 5:15 p.m. on a Saturday, which turned out to be a good idea. By 6:30 p.m. when we finished eating, there was an hour long wait! You are seated at a table with a grill in the middle.

The table is pre-set with various pickled

For most of its short life, Kia’s Soul has presented itself — after you get beyond the Hamsters and their soundtrack — as a prime example of ‘what you see is what you get’. It’s an upright, two-box hatch small enough for the city but reasonably practical for the suburbs, and still sufficiently roomy for the road trip. At the time of its launch it was notable for adhering to much of the concept’s design cues. And after one refresh it was/is both charming and disarming, despite its ubiquity on the highways and byways of America. And then Kia blew it …

We’re in possession of Kia’s new Soul! (exclaim), propelled by a 1.6 liter turbocharged four. Connected to a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission), it provides a driving experience not unlike the one we enjoyed when first previewing Hyundai’s Tucson CUV. And while the horsepower bump over its 2.0 liter normally-aspirated Soul sibling is modest (201 vs. 161), the torque bump is more substantial, netting the Soul! 30 percent more wide-ranging torque from just off idle to 4500 rpm. In short, what’s not to like?

While pondering that, here’s what there is to like.

Despite its funk factor the Soul’s exterior design has held up remarkably well.

You get a choice among 36 items on the menu, including various beefs, chicken, fish, pork, vegetable and noodle items.

Order as much as you want, and as often as you want. We tried 12 items and couldn’t eat anything more. When we were greeted, we told the attendant that it was our first time there. Because the restaurant wasn’t busy and the greeter was the manager, after he took us to our table he stayed with us telling us about the restaurant, his family, and how to properly cook the food, which he did for us! Don’t expect this when you go, but if it happens, you’re in luck. On the way out his boss jokingly said, “You had the best waiter tonight.” And he was right.

Along with the manager-cook, several Asian teens hovered to fill our drinks and change out the grill periodically. Each dish cooks quickly on the hot grill, and part of KOREAN cont'd on page 11

hardtop or Clubman.

Those, with their raised David Boldt hoods and elongated front overhangs, suddenly seem slightly misshaped.

And while I like Mini’s bigger Countryman, which is closer in footprint to the Soul than the smaller — more “mini” — Minis, if looked at objectively it has some misplaced lumps that might have been located elsewhere. In short, the Soul’s shape elicits little criticism from here, and would be a welcome addition to my garage.

Inside, we’re all about the upright seating, which is comfortable both front and rear. That assumes, of course, you’re a party of four; like most compact or subcompact vehicles, the fifth in your party will want to use the Uber app. Of import to young families, the rear seat comfortably accommodates a child seat without

throwing the front seat passenger against the windshield. And with the rear seat ‘up’ you still have 24 cubic feet (exclaim!) of luggage space; more, of course, if you fold it.

Behind the wheel, our well-equipped — but not fully equipped — Soul provides an informative dash, generous rearview camera, a comfortably-shaped steering wheel and almost surround-sound visibility.

While the hip point is sufficiently high to provide a generous view of surrounding traffic, you’re not so high as to hit a tipping point, physically or psychologically. Handling confidence is helped by reasonably tight steering, good braking and little body roll despite the Soul’s upright proportions.

In short, in a cut-and-thrust world it’s well-suited to its arm-and-disarm role.

With that, know it could move up from well-suited to perfectly-suited were it given just a little more urge off the line. Both the throttle and SOUL cont'd on page 11

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH

Making balanced and sustainable New Year’s resolutions

By Megan Lyons

megan@thelyonsshare.org Are you among the 45 percent of Americans who usually make New Year’s resolutions? On the one hand, I’m all about people setting goals to improve their lives. Fourty-seven percent of resoMegan Lyons lutions are self-improvement related, and even if the resolutions are not ultimately achieved, every step in the right direction is a win in my book!

On the other hand, I know that so many people set New Year’s resolutions that are unattainable, and then feel defeated when the resolutions are not achieved. In fact, only 8 percent of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions each year. In my opinion, many don’t reach their goals because they don’t have a specific plan to reach their lofty targets, don’t set up opportunities to celebrate successes along the way, and don’t have an accountability system to keep them going when they are struggling or losing focus.

Having an appropriate resolution is the first step to following through. Here are my tips for setting a New Year’s resolution, followed by seven New Year’s resolutions that I recommend: • Set a resolution that will allow you mini-successes every day, week or month: Without interim successes to keep you motivated, all you know for the first 364 days of the year is that you’re not there yet. I prefer resolutions that allow you to give yourself a pat on the back for every day’s achievement, or at least have milestones throughout the year. Want a free 30-Day Challenge to give yourself a mini-success for the next 30 days? Go to 30DayBestHealthChallenge.com to download the materials!

• Create a method to track your mini-successes: Creating a calendar or spreadsheet that can track your goals every 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. (The 30-Day Challenge above comes with a free prinatbale calendar!)

• Set a “SMART” resolution: You may have heard the “SMART” criteria from management guru Peter Drucker.

Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound are more likely to be achieved. 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.

• 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 8 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.

Here are seven healthy, Lyons’ Share-approved New Year’s resolutions: 1. Drink eight glasses of water per day. Hydration is a linchpin habit that has numerous health benefits — it’s a great place to start! Even if you think you’re already hydrated, track your intake for a few days and you may be surprised.

2. Eat two servings of vegetables or fruits with every meal. You could also choose to try for four different types of fruits and vegetables every day, or to try a new vegetable every month, or to achieve the recommended nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Any specific target that increases your vegetable consumption is a great resolution!

3. Fit in some movement (or stretching) every day. I am not saying you don’t need rest days, or you need to push yourself to exhaustion every day. But even on your busiest days, try for a quick lunchtime walk, 10 minutes of stretching or yoga before bed, or even a quick set of jumping jacks, lunges, and squats as you’re preparing dinner.

4. Learn a new type of exercise, or achieve a new fitness goal. Trying something new can be good for you. Have you wanted to try a Zumba class, Crossfit, or spinning? Set a resolution that you’ll learn a new activity (or at least go to a certain number of classes!). Or, set a specific goal in a mode of exercise you already practice (with interim steps along the way!). Is there a certain weight you want to be able to deadlift, a certain mile time you’ve been hoping for, or a certain pose in yoga you’ve been dying to achieve?

Figure out how you’ll get there this year!

5. R educe added sugars (and/ or artificial sweeteners). This is a lofty and hard-to-measure target, so I recommend you do this in smaller mini-goals. For example, reduce the 2 tsp. of sugar in your coffee to 1 tsp., or go for plain yogurt with fruit instead of sweetened, fruit-flavored yogurt.

6. E at at home four nights per week or pack your lunch two times per week. Of course, the numbers are arbitrary, so set a goal that works for you. The point is to increase the number of home-cooked meals you prepare … so much better for your wallet and your health!

7. C ommit to a small, incremental change every month. In January, you may commit to following the 30-Day Challenge at 30DayBestHealthChallenge.com.

In February, you may order a side of veggies instead of French fries every time you go out to eat. In March, you may switch from artificially-flavored coffee creamer to unsweetened almond milk. In April, you may add 15 minutes to your daily 30-minute walk. Whatever it is, choose a small change that you can add on every single month.

Have a happy and healthy New Year!

MOVIE TRAILER

‘Passengers’ will make you want to sleep on the plane

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

After 45 minutes, “Passengers” is well on its way to becoming a high concept psychological drama that happens to take place on a spaceship.

In that short amount of time, the movie creates all sorts of arguments involving the human condition, such as loneliness and guilt, while leading you to believe this sci-fi tale is heading to a dark, dark place.

Unfortunately, director Morten Tyldum and screenwriter Jon Spaihts chickened out. They’ve taken all the bite out of a delicious science fiction setup in an effort to cover an unnecessary budget of more than $100 million. The only hope this movie has to avoid box office disaster is the considerable appeal and star power of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.

“Passengers” begins with Jim Preston (Pratt) waking up from hibernation on the Avalon, a ship making the 120-year journey from Earth to a new colony called Homestead II. The problem Jim faces is that he was accidentally awoken 90 years too early and discovers that of the 5,000 passengers, he’s the only one awake.

Faced with the prospect of dying alone on a ship in space, Jim goes

There’s also some questionIt’s surprising that “Passengers” but it’s tough to swallow that these able character decisions that have becomes such a bore considering two lovebirds swoon over each other more to do with Spaihts script than

Lawrence’s acting and it is extremely puzzling to watch her be forced into such bizarre situations.

A casting director should try to pair Lawrence and Chris Pratt together again. Their on-screen chemistry makes the movie move for the first hour and much of that is Pratt onscreen alone. Pratt does a great job as an unhinged person slowly losing his mind, but like Lawrence, he eventually is forced into boring sci-fi nonsense. He gets the unfortunate burden of not only saying silly things like Lawrence, but he also is in one of the most preposterous action sequences in recent movie history.

Lawrence and Pratt are definitely up for it, but Tyldum and Speihts turn “Passengers” into a wannabe “Titanic” in space. It even has a “don’t let go, Rose” moment that would be the biggest eye roller in the movie if not for what happens immediately after it. Once “Passengers” shifts gears and becomes about the dangers of space travel instead of a movie about people that happen to be in space, it creates a space-like vacuum of boredom in the theater.

Besides, what kind of a movie has Andy Garcia in it but doesn’t have him say a word?

In July attorneys for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe took their first legal action to stop the pipeline being built over areas of cultural importance and under the Missouri River, which could lead to water quality issues.

Peaceful protests started in the summer months and through social media their numbers grew to include several famous elites including the Avengers. The peaceful protests were met with violence and just as the cold weather was setting in, the Sioux Tribe received a small win.

The pipeline is stopped, for now. This small win will be amplified as this moment in history is sure to shape future decisions showing that we, the people, can come together in opposition of large company interests.

Locally, the Trinity River Project was hot on the environment news. In many regards it can have a positive impact on our local environment — most notably providing a recreational area for the public to connect to our Trinity River and forest, overall impacting public opinion on the importance of the environment in our everyday lives. The recent gift of $50 million to the project may just move it forward in 2017, but don’t hold your breath.

KOREAN cont'd from page 8 the enjoyment is the disco atmosphere with hip-hop music in the background.

The meats are marinated before they come to the table, so the grill develops a black tar of burnt marinade. That is why the grill is constantly changed. In the kitchen a special machine cleans these very dirty grills.

The price — $24.99 per person — was a bargain. It’s even cheaper at lunchtime, but SOUL cont'd from page 8 DCT transmission seemed geared for soft — rather than immediate — response; as a result, a great many of the turbo’s 201 horses seem to remain hidden under gentle throttle application.

At a suggested retail of just $23K the Soul! represents an absolutely great buy among your urban/suburban buying choices. To opt for the all-in tech package will cost you another $3K, while the panoramic sunroof is an additional $1K. And while we’re all about the sunroof, you have to buy the ‘tech’ package to get it. For that $4K you can buy an old Miata, park it on

the front lawn and — when the thing stops running — put the top down and smoke some exclamation points…
