LITERATURE

Teacher turned author finally over The Bridge

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com Dallas-native Jill Cox accomplished something she that always wanted to do. She wrote a book based in Paris. Not Paris, Texas. Paris, France. It just took her over 20 years to do it. Cox grew up in Preston Hollow, went to Trinity Christian Academy and graduated from SMU with a degree in French language and literature. Her debut novel, The Bridge, will be part of Tables of Content presented by the Friends of the SMU Libraries. Their main event is the Eighth Annual Literati Award Dinner and Presentation. Cox will be one of the Top 10 Haute Young Authors recognized during the reception on Saturday, April 1 at 6 p.m. at the Fondren Centennial Reading Room in Fondren Library on the SMU campus. She spent a semester in Paris and then received a master’s degree from Middlebury College in Vermont, which afforded her an opportunity to spend a year studying at Paris’ Reid Hall. “The things that happened in that year,” Cox said, “were the things that really inspired the story. Meredith is the main character — she is not me — but there are a lot of anecdotes that made their way into the story. It was a labor of love.” But not

street … Dallas is going through a residential growth spurt. With more people moving to town each day, the existing home market is in demand, forcing prices up. But feel lucky that you aren’t relocating to Northern California. Sure, it is beautiful with a favorable climate. I mean weather, not the housing climate. You want to buy a house or a condo in the Bay Area? Prices are up 63 percent in San Jose, 62 percent in San Francisco and 59 percent in Oakland. Not up from the previous year — those are the percentages over the asking price people are paying to buy a home. A two-bedroom, one-bath house in the Rockridge area of Oakland listed for $500,000 that has 950 sq. ft., no attached garage and was built in 1951 will cost you $800,000 if you want to buy it. In San Francisco, it is not uncommon for a house to cost in excess of $1 million that doesn’t even have a garage or car port. Do you know how difficult it is to park in San Francisco? You have to hire your own valet, which is not included in the price. Imagine going to Al Biernat’s in Oak Lawn really wanting the $46 Chilean Sea Bass with Lobster Risotto, citrus and basil.

would pay $73.50 for it? (It is a great dish). Add on the fact that in most areas of San Francisco or Oakland you can’t send your children to public schools, so that adds on a pretty penny to your monthly expenses. I went through all twelve grades in public school in Oakland and look how I turned out. Anyway, after you’ve secured that small cottage in Rockridge for $800K, putting your sixth grader into the prestigious, private Head Royce School in the Oakland Hills will cost $30, 785 per year in tuition.

And that does not include (according to their website) textbooks, supplies, class trips, food, individual lessons, after school care and electives. Or the iPhone bill. The Dallas housing market doesn’t look too bad now And while waxing nostalgic, Hasbro has decided to screw up the board game Monopoly. They announced new tokens on Friday based on online voting from fans of the game. The thimble, the wheelbarrow and the boot are, well, getting the boot. The new tokens are a

rubber ducky, a penguin and T. Rex. They join Scottie dog, a top hat, a car, a battleship and a cat that live another day unless T. Rex comes to life because then Scottie dog, the cat, the penguin and rubber ducky are toast. At least they have the battleship to protect them. I can see a new future Pixar film — “Monopoly: The Movie. Battle of the Rexes” — coming to a theater near you ... Well, I am going over to Al Biernat’s to see if I can talk him up on the price of the Chilean Sea Bass.

MULL IT OVER

Young Cubs will celebrate with Old Style

By David Mullen

Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs hopes to repeat MVP season. Thames — who returns to the big leagues after playing three years in South Korea — becomes the next Cecil Fielder. Cincinnati Reds fans have Joey Votto to root for and not much else. The lack of quality starting pitching keeps them from contending. What is it with the Washington Nationals? On paper, they look unbeatable. Then they proceed to beat themselves. Bryce Harper needs to bounce back to regain star status. Stars don’t hit .243 in a season. The New York Mets need to stop reading their press clippings and play as a team. The key will be keeping their young arms healthy. This could be a big year for Yoenis Cespedes, who is now ready to reach MVP status. After all, he will have the New York press behind him. Hope he doesn’t read the press clippings. No team suffered a worse setback than the Miami Marlins, who lost ace pitcher Jose Fernandez to a September boating accident. His memory could rally a team that possesses the best hitting outfield in the NL. The good news in Philadelphia is that the young Phillies are getting better, but still a couple of years away from being a contender. The success of the Braves — which unveils SunTrust Park in the northernmost part of Atlanta in April — bank on 23-year-old SS Dansby Swanson shining and OF Matt Kemp being trusted. The NL’s best rivalry (sorry Chicago and St. Louis) is the Los Angeles Dodgers and San

Francisco Giants, and they should battle all season long. The Dodgers have the hammer in Highland Park’s Clayton Kershaw. A lot rides on the demeanor of Yasiel Puig. Is he going to be instant offense or just an often Instagram? The Giants — a team capable of long scoring droughts — are still solid and play in expansive pitcher’s park. The NL West could go down to the final weekend. The Colorado Rockies are the most intriguing team in the NL. They can flat-out hit. Irving’s Trevor Story returns from an injury that halted a potential Rookie of the Year season. He hit 27 homers in 97 games. They signed former Ranger Ian Desmond in the off-season only to lose him in spring training to a broken hand. New manager Bud Black will try to convince his pitching staff that Coors Field is just another ballpark. The Arizona Diamondbacks can’t field and don’t have enough pitching to overcome that deficit. The Padres of San Diego can’t hit. For fans, it will be time to hit the beach. The Dodgers will beat the Mets in the Wild Card game. The Cubs, Giants, Dodgers and Nationals will compete for the National League championship, and once again the Cubs will prevail. Their youth and game acumen will take them to their second consecutive World Series. Good thing that pencils — even Cubs pencils — come with erasers.

david@katytrailweekly.com As I prepared to write my National League predictions, I blindly reached into my bag of various pens and pencils — most with business names on them — and discovered what might be an omen for the 2017 season. Out came a pencil with the Chicago Cubs logo on it. Last time I had such a premonition was in spring 1995. I heard a racket in my backyard and went outside to find a cardinal and a blue jay having a tussle. That’s it! St. Louis Cardinals and Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. Of course, it was the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians in the 1995 Fall Classic. Last year in this column, I did pick the Cubs to win it all over the Texas Rangers. The Rangers imploded in the playoffs again, and the Cubs were the darling World Champions of baseball. Can they do it again? Yes. The Cubs will win the NL Central, but it is not going to be as easy as last year. Their bullpen won’t have Aroldis Chapman for the stretch run and playoffs as they did last year. Their plan is to close games with the two-headed monster of Wade Davis and Koji Uehara. The top four starters (Jake Arrieta, Kyle Hendricks, Jon Lester and John Lackey) are rock solid, each averaging nearly one strikeout per inning. If Kyle Schwarber can play a full season, he will more than make up for his sketchy defense in left field with his powerful stroke. And they have a wizard of a manager in Joe Maddon. As always, the Cardinals will breath down the necks of their rivals to the north. But their starters Adam Wainwright and Mike Leake must keep their ERAs from going north of the 4.00 mark. All eyes are on Andrew McCutchen as the Pittsburgh Pirates look for him to play right field and return to his MVP form. The Pirates could be 10 games better (or 10 games worse) than last year. The Milwaukee Brewers are hoping that first baseman Eric

THEATER PREVIEW

WingSpan presents compelling reading

By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com

“I’m 80 years old. I find that unforgivable and suddenly it’s a millennium and I stink of the past century, but what can I do?” said Barbara Bierbrier, flummoxed, as Rose in WingSpan Theatre Company’s upcoming “Rose” at the Bath House Cultural Center. This production celebrates WingSpan’s 20th season. Bierbrier is a busy Dallas actress who will entertain with a staged, tour de force one-woman reading of the work of playwright Martin Sherman’s. The staged reading runs March 31 and April 1. Sherman (an American) is an award-winning, PulitzerPrize nominee whose 20 plays have been produced in 55 countries. This reading’s theme is especially timely. According to Susan Sargeant, producing artistic director, founder of WingSpan Theatre Company and “Rose” producer, “Sherman’s works dramatize outsiders dealing with the marginalization of minorities, whether gay, female, foreign, disabled, different religions, class or color. Sherman put himself on the map in 1979 with his play ‘Bent,’ which explores the persecution of homosexuals during the Holocaust.” The highly esteemed René Moreno will direct. Bierbrier said she is in awe of Rose. “She survived so much in her life, but she never gave up. She never had the opportunity to go to school, but could read in three languages, Yiddish, Russian and English. And through all her hardships she never lost her sense of humor or her zest for life.” “Rose is a survivor. Her life began in a tiny Russian village, where she lived in Warsaw’s

ghettos. A ship named Exodus brought her to America,” said Sargeant. Bierbrier talked about her character, Rose. “There are so many levels to this woman, and I get to explore all of them.

ages, I feel such joy. Aside from our field development program, we have a Special Olympics team that competes at home and away against another Major League Soccer team. This program is about inclusion, enjoying the sport that so many love and living that active lifestyle. I have cried every match – especially those at home when I see the team feed off the excitement of the fans, the staff and the professional team that are rallied around them. Our youth club is involved in the team as well and they are engaged at such a young age with this population of the community that they wouldn’t know otherwise. It is a heartwarming encounter every time.

candace@candysdirt.com Do you know A. Hays Town and love a Louisiana-style home? Over at CandysDirt.com, we love him. For more than 65 years, A. Hays Town built houses and buildings that were heavily influenced by the Spanish, French and Creole history of Louisiana. More than 1,000 homes in Louisiana and the southern U.S. exist with his distinctive style and most have garnered design awards. Town died in 2005 at the ripe age of 101! How to describe his style? Classic Louisiana, full-length shutters as doors, dovecotes (little dove or pigeon towers, which were once considered a measure of wealth), 13-foot ceilings (better circulate air flow), plantation-style separate shutters and brick floors with a special beeswax finish. It’s warm and inviting, yes. A little Dilbeck-esque. But to have the best of all possible worlds, take Town’s Louisiana style and marry it to new construction with the latest bell and whistles and you have, well, 3021 Southwestern Blvd. This is truly one of the most beautiful homes I have seen in a long time, it is just YUMMY! If you love real estate, we show you yummy each and every day on CandysDirt.com, so go over and get yourself signed up for our newsletter! Perfect square footage: 6,714 on a one-quarter Caruth Hills lot with a stunning swimming pool. Aside: Have I told you that we are circling back to luxury homes in the 6,500-square-foot range? This home is perfectly sized. There are formals, of course, and ohso-decked-out are they you could literally move in with just a toothbrush and a trunk. Cook’s kitchen, study, exercise and game rooms, wine room, five en suite bedrooms, including a master that will blow you away, Louisiana charm in the woodwork, wood floors and millwork. Built in 2006, the home is well insulated and a picture of energy efficiency. Also, the home is in the Highland Park ISD and is, in fact, within walking distance of the shining new elementary school that will open this fall. So if you have a three-year-old, you’d better nab this house before there is another spike in Dallas home prices OR interest rates! About the elephant in the room: yes, the master is upstairs. You know how I feel about that: when your children are little, you need to be near them to hear them during the night. Besides, there is plenty of room for an elevator for later in life or to lug the skis down from the attic. This is a home that can see you through many, many years of living and living well and make you feel like you are living in NOLA every morning you wake up. I can smell the Café Du Monde and taste the beignets … It is listed with Malinda Arvesen with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. This is one you cannot miss! 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.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL

My last story was about the 1953 tornado that hit downtown Waco. School was cancelled, so, as planned, three of us headed out to seek our fortune in California. Get the picture of the difference in times then and now. We just told our parents we had jobs waiting in logging camps in Northern California and Oregon. We thought we did, but I will get to that. I was joined by my Baylor roommate from Pecos, “Pecos” Bill Patterson. Dean Woodruff, our Aggie buddy who grew up in Highland Park and was punter on the A&M football team, joined us. Dean had the 1951 Ford, which we loaded with duffel bags and sleeping rolls. Dean and I picked Bill up in Pecos and off we went. To save what little money we had, we slept in roadside parks and under bridges. Our first adventure was when we got to the Grand Canyon. Here we splurged and got a room. Early the next morning, we walked out on the

edge of the canyon near Bright Angel Lodge. We decided to just stroll down to the bottom, not asking anyone how far it might be. It was 10 miles. That afternoon, we reached the bottom and enjoyed a swim in the muddy Colorado River. People we talked to couldn’t believe we had walked it and planned to walk out before dark. They all had guides and mules. On the way out, my legs gave out and I hitched a ride with a passing mule train for the last mile. In Las Vegas, we wandered into a casino at the Pioneer Club and were escorted out for being under-dressed and underage. The bouncer was as big as all three of us. We crossed Nevada and Donner Pass in the snow, and later got our first view of the Pacific Ocean. Sure enough, no jobs in the logging camps because of the weeks of rain. We made a few calls and started working our way south through Napa where the wine country was just getting started. Dean and I got a three-day job as store

We had just enough money to buy some gas at the ridiculous price of 40 cents a gallon, and ended up in south of San Francisco in Menlo Park. We all got jobs working for Bekins Van Lines as helpers on moving vans all summer. Though we were not union members, we were extra help when needed (which was most of the time) at $7.50 per hour. I made enough to help big time with my school cost for the next year, plus I bought an old 1933 Plymouth coupe for $45 and drove it to work all summer. At the end of the summer, I sold it for $50. I had become an entrepreneur. I had also bulked up, gaining 30 lbs. toting furniture all

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK by Stella Wilder

The coming week will require of all individuals a greater level of flexibility and understanding than most are used to. Indeed, in some cases (and perhaps unfortunately), this will go very much against the grain. There are always some who are less tolerant than most, who insist that others fall into line and do what is expected, acceptable, and "normal" — and these individuals are likely to have a hard time of it this week. It's not that they will be significantly limited in what they can do; rather, there may be a kind of stigma attached to a rigid world view that doesn't account for the differences in people and in the way they live. Those who can accept other people for who they are — and how they live — are likely to rise to ascendancy, at least for a short time. Those who are on the fence, who instinctively yearn for greater connection with others without knowing precisely how to make it happen, can be influenced one way or another, but those who let their hearts lead the way are almost sure to find themselves in a win-win situation all week long. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may have to suffer a certain embarrassment early in the week in order to stake your claim to something valuable later on. (April 5-April 19) – It's time for you to grant someone three wishes — and everyone knows what the first should be. The

subsequent two can be more freely chosen. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You'll have the chance to stand up against someone who is trying to force you into a corner. He or she doesn't appreciate what is possible. (May 6-May 20) – You recognize that certain things are immutable, but where there is room for change, it must be addressed as effectively as possible. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You will want to take care of yourself throughout the week, ensuring that you steer clear of anything that may become a genuine threat. (June 7-June 20) – You may not be able to remain silent when faced with certain affronts or challenges. You may actually inspire others with your words and actions. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You've been patient for quite a while, but you cannot remain passive any longer. The time has come to fight back. (July 8-July 22) – You may be able to get others to realize just what they've done — and that's the first step to reversing certain negative trends that have been forming. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You can expect the competition to be rather fierce, but you have the right allies in place to help you as you face a primary rival.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – A close call will have you counting your blessings. A friend or loved one can help you solve a long-standing mystery or two. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may be tempted to join forces with someone who disagrees with almost every principle you espouse — because he or she knows how to get results. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – A secret will be revealed, and you will be able to swing into action after key players have had a chance to react in their own ways. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) An important issue will arise — again — and put you in a position that is both advantageous and perhaps a bit uncomfortable. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Progress can be made only a little at a time, but you'll still be making measurable gains that put a rival on the defensive. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) It's a good week for you to reach out to someone who has been working against you in the past. Much can happen if you start working together. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You can teach those around you most effectively by example. Your actions, and the results you get, can really get them moving.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Something you want is in someone else's possession, and you may have to accept that it's simply not your turn yet. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You are receiving many hints about what lies ahead, but a clearer picture can only materialize if you come out of hiding. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Issues of power — and how to use it — will be in the forefront all week long. You may want to take a more soft-spoken approach for a bit. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You've been receiving up-to-date news, but you still feel as though you don't know everything you should know. Investigate further on your own. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Something that others have been warning you against may seem irresistible, and you may be able to turn it into a startling success.

Ewen Bremner, Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle star in “T2 Trainspotting.”

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

It’s rare to see an outpouring of support for a sequel starring degenerate Scottish junkies, but that’s exactly what has happened with “T2 Trainspotting.” Director Danny Boyle has successfully brought back the main cast, and while this doesn’t quite reach the subversive depths of the 1996 original, it’s an effective look at life for disaffected 1990s Gen Xers that don’t quite know what to do with themselves in their 40s. It helps that “T2 Trainspotting” works in more comedy, albeit severely twisted, than the original. There’s also a purposeful attempt at nostalgia, complete with clips from the first film and a few scenes that are flat out up-todate copies. Those tiny moments are far more emotionally impactful than a movie about heroin addicts could ever deserve to be. The movie begins with recovered junkie Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returning to Edinburgh after spending 20 years in Amsterdam. Spud (Ewen Bremner) is still struggling with heroin addiction, and he’s quite happy to see Mark as he left him 4,000 pounds of the money he stole at the end of the first movie. On the other end of the “nice to see you” spectrum is Simon (Jonny Lee Miller), a guy still neck deep in filth using his girlfriend, Veronika (Anjela Nedyalkova), as a pawn in some extremely seedy blackmail schemes. Simon hasn’t forgiven Mark for ripping the gang off and their initial interaction is a hilarious fight scene that could only be staged by the genius of Danny Boyle. Of course, “T2” wouldn’t be complete without Begbie (Robert Carlyle), who begins the film in prison. Explaining how he gets out would ruin some insanely clever writing, but his appearance in the free world causes even more trouble for Mark since all Begbie wants to do is kill him for his betrayal. “T2 Trainspotting” should be a disaster. There’s really no reason for a sequel to a 21-year-old movie whose success was as much a product of the time it was made as the people

who made it. It was the launching pad for now-Oscar winner Boyle and whether the mass public knows it or not, they know who Ewan McGregor is because of it. Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge have created a movie that seems like logical steps for each of these now-beloved characters. It’s as much of a coming to terms with age movie as it is a dark comedy. When Kelly Macdonald shows up as an attorney, fans of the original should only nod their heads in approval while “makes sense” bounces around in their heads. As one would expect, the four main actors are fantastic and slip right back into the roles that made them famous. Unfortunately for Robert Carlyle, he is so fantastic as a sociopathic criminal that he’s been typecast as lunatics ever since the 1996 film. Yes, his Begbie is still as wheels off as ever, but there is some humanity for him here (but not much) and Carlyle has one moment of clarity that should bring tears from any audience. If a dark sitcom needs two actors from the United Kingdom, they’d do well if they cast Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller. Even though they share the most unfortunate and sad scene in the entire movie, the pairing is comedic brilliance. Some of their dialogue is immediately quotable and it seems like they are having a blast playing scumbags after years of being “good guys.” The heart and soul of “T2” is Ewen Bremner, who plays the only character to undergo significant change. Bremner is heartbreakingly good and elicits the right amount of pity and there is legitimate joy by the time his tale has been told. He doesn’t necessarily outshine his cast mates as much as he has the juiciest role in the film. It’s fairly mind-blowing that Boyle, Hodge and the cast pulled this off as well as they have. “T2 Trainspotting” feels new and not a cash-grab rehashing, but purposefully nostalgic at the same time. It’s so well done that once it’s over, spending another two hours with these lunatics doesn’t seem like a bad idea at all.

the road compared to its cable news adversaries. After all, its payroll includes Trump defenders Jeffrey Lord and lately, Jason Miller, who replaced Corey Lewandowski. But led by Don Lemon and Jake Tapper, CNN also has aggressively and bluntly challenged the President’s declarations of what’s true and what isn’t. You can only take his lashings for so long before, in a sense, becoming part of The Resistance. Lemon and Tapper lately can be seen as both truth-tellers and ax-grinders. Even the two Sunday morning media analysis shows, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” and FNC’s “Media Buzz,” can’t be counted on to be faithfully impartial anymore. “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter, who replaced Howard Kurtz, easily is the most balanced of the two. But he’s now regularly on the Trump attack while Kurtz and his “Media Buzz” program clearly have a conservative slant. Comparing the two programs on a weekly basis can be both instructive and dispiriting. I haven’t even gotten into all of the partisan media websites that have sprung up since that now far-off 2003 “Flashpoints USA” program. This is, after all, primarily a TV column. Suffice it to say, though, that 1996 turned out to be an arguably dark year for American journalism. It’s the year when both FNC and MSNBC were launched. A little over two decades later, are we better off now than we were then? From this perspective, that’s gonna be a pretty big no.

‘Baby, it’s warm outside’ By Naïma Jeannette @naimajeannette

We made it through winter! Ok, Dallas winter isn’t really much to write home about, but we survived without a crazy ice storm. This year was on the Naïma Jeannette other side of the cold and ice spectrum, and this winter season (2016-2017) was the warmest Dallas winter on record of 119 past years. Spring is here and more questionable weather is upon us. On the first day of spring, March 20, we hit a record high of 92 degrees. Yikes. The average high for March is 69 degrees with the average low at 42 degrees. Luckily, rain is in our forecast for a cool down, and we need some rain. What will the rest of spring be for us? What about summer? The Old Farmers Almanac is forecasting another hot dry summer and scientists seem to be in agreement. Spring droughts have already been causing devastating fires in the panhandle region of Texas, and if it stays dry, we are in for a long fire season over the entire state.

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH

What’s not in your breakfast may hold you back By Megan Lyons

megan@thelyonsshare.org Most traditional American breakfast options center around the wrong type of carbohydrates. Donuts, pancakes, waffles, muffins, toast and bagels are mainstays of any continental breakfast, coffee shop and most family breakfast tables. Not only are they filled with added sugar, but they are primarily comprised Megan Lyons of refined carbohydrates. More and more of us are aware that these refined carbohydrates (bread-like options made from refining and processing grains like wheat into flour and then baking them) are not the healthiest choices. In fact, many of us claim to be on “low carb” or “no carb” diets, and what we really mean is that we are avoiding these refined, breadlike options. But did you know that beans, fruit and even vegetables are all primarily composed of carbohydrates? These healthier, unrefined carbohydrates have many health benefits (so any diet that truly restricts carbohydrates would not even permit vegetables, and in my opinion, would not be the healthiest choice). Now that we understand what foods are carbohydrate-heavy, we can discuss the role of carbohydrates in a healthy breakfast. When we have only (or mostly) carbohydrates at breakfast, our blood sugar spikes quickly, making a hormone called insulin spike as well. Not only does excess insulin promote fat storage (a negative for most of us), but this rapid fluctuation in blood sugar leaves us susceptible to sugar cravings and feelings of blood sugar instability all day. You’ll have more energy and better control of your hunger later in the day if you resist this morning insulin spike. Who wants that? All we need to do to achieve this is to choose healthier (unrefined) versions of carbohydrates, and to balance out any carbohydrates we do choose to consume with protein, healthy fat or both. We don’t need to remove carbohydrates altogether, but even healthier carbohydrates like fruit and oatmeal may be setting us up for breakfast failure when they’re not balanced out appropriately. Here are three healthy breakfasts, focusing on protein, healthy fat and unrefined sources of carbohydrates:

1. C rustless quiche. I firmly believe that eggs (a great source of protein and healthy fat) and vegetables (a great source of unrefined carbohydrates and an abundance of micronutrients) are the best breakfast option for many people. Simply scramble up a few eggs with some spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, or if you’re in more of a time crunch, make a crustless quiche on the weekend to enjoy all week. Find the simple recipe at bit.ly/healthyquiche. 2. O atmeal. If you’re a die-hard oatmeal fan and can’t imagine doing without, at least balance out this grain with some protein and healthy fat. Stir a whole egg or half-cup of liquid egg whites into your serving of oatmeal before cooking, and stir every 45 seconds either in the microwave or stovetop. You’ll be amazed by how fluffy the egg makes the oatmeal, and your body will thank you for the addition of protein. Top your bowl with two tablespoons of slivered almonds or one tablespoon of peanut or almond butter for some healthy fat, and sprinkle with cinnamon and berries for flavor and extra nutrients! 3. Smoothie. Green smoothies are increasingly popular, and for good reason — they are a great way to get in vegetables in the morning, and a tasty on-the-run substitute for a complicated sit-down breakfast. However, if you toss in five types of fruit and don’t balance those carbohydrates with protein and healthy fat, your blood sugar will still be on a roller coaster from the get-go. I recommend sticking to one cup of fruit, adding in one source of protein (a scoop of healthier protein powder like the one at bit.ly/vegaoneprotein, or half-cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt), and one source of healthy fat (half a small avocado, two tablespoons of chia seeds, or one tablespoon of almond butter). One of my favorite smoothies (which I call “Sweet Cinnamon Delight”) mixes two giant handfuls of spinach, half a small frozen pear, half a small avocado, one scoop of vanilla protein powder, a hefty dash of cinnamon, one cup of unsweetened almond milk and enough ice to bring to your desired consistency. Eat up, and feel the benefits all throughout your day!

TEACHER cont'd from page 1 came off weird. So I said ‘I’m just going to forget it.’ Then one day, I said, ‘I am going to pick up that book and start writing again.’” After shelving the novel in 1999, Cox became a teacher at Trinity Christian Academy for 16 years and found little time to write. Her cousin, an artist, was constantly prodding her while providing inspiration to get the creative juices flowing again. Unfortunately, he was killed in a car accident in 2005. Inspired to start writing again, her next stop sounds like it is right out of a romance novel. “I went to the Oregon coast. The weather is just beautiful there in the summer. I went out there trying to get as much on paper as I could. It took me about three months to get the draft of this story.” After her stay, she actually incorporated Oregon (Lincoln City, to be exact) into some of the chapters. “Lincoln City reminds me of what I imagined California in the ’60s to be,” Cox said. “But Paris made me an independent thinker.” The Bridge is about fictional character Meredith Sullivan who wins the Becket Scholarship, moves to Paris and leaves her boyfriend behind in the states. On her flight to Paris is Pete Russell. He is a complex man, fluent in French and boorish in a way that offends Meredith. As time passes, her perception of Russell changes as she changes as well. With the book pretty much complete, in fall 2011, she began to contemplate her next steps. “I said ‘Do I really want to get this book published? or do I want to keep teaching? What do I want to do?’” She decided to “go out on a limb” (as Cox put it) and left teaching for a corporate job which allowed her to put the finishing touches on The Bridge. “I wanted to find a job where I could leave at 5 p.m. and go write or do research. I technically work more hours, but I have more free time.” Panera Bread is one of her “offices.” Cox tried to get the book published through traditional channels, but found that the book was not a fit for some agents and publishers. “It is definitely a romance novel, but it is not Fifty Shades of Grey, for sure. I was imagining my students — when they went off to college — reading it.” Cox said. She found a genre called “New Adult” and decided to self publish. The Bridge was released in mid-December 2016. Since it’s became available, it has received five-star reviews on Amazon.com. Cox has decided to create a series. Her second book, scheduled to be out sometime later this year, takes place in Ireland and will be titled The Long Walk. But finally, after completing her acclaimed first novel over a 20 year span, writing a second book must be like water under a bridge.

Since the beginning of the Stetson Hat company in 1865, the company has grown to be the largest hat manufacturer in America. Many of its hats are made in a Garland factory, along with those of Dallas’ home-grown Resistol brand, which it acquired.

It takes many highly skilled artisans using some modernized equipment but mainly relying on older machinery, which is no longer manufactured and, even if it were, using outdated designs reMichael Wald placement of which would be extremely costly. Upgrading a single sewing machine capable of specialized stitching (and there are rows of them), for example, would cost about $25,000. The process starts with creating the felt fabric that forms the basis for a Stetson. The hats use either wool, beaver or rabbit fur, each being of higher quality and cost than the former. Once a basic round shape is formed, the hat begins the process of being shaped into the final product. Through various stages using steam and molds (each unique to Stetson and in each head size for various hats) to make the general shape of the crown in the flat starting material. Following that, the unique “roll” of the Stetson brim is added in the next step, using a different mold and heat in a “blocking” process. Each step of the way, the hats are inspected and rejects are taken out of production. Once the shape of the hat is generally set, a four-stage lacquering process begins, which gives the Stetson its signature hardness and durability. The hat is checked for color consistency and dye is added where needed to color the hat at this stage. Trim is added in the form of the inner headband (which can be of varying qualities depending on the hat) and the decorative lanyard or jewels are added around the base of the crown, some even have diamonds in the trim.

I was prepared to call it “tallish” before I realized it was the same ‘height’ as I am. But the djboldt@sbcglobal.net

grandparents, the CR-V will swallow most of what you’ll throw at it. As mentioned, under the hood you’ll find both the cooking 2.4 liter four, offering 184 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque and — new this year — an available 1.5 liter turbocharged four, which according to Honda offers ‘exceptional performance.’ We’ll politely beg to differ. The specs — 190 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque — are certainly OK, but subjectively the combo of 1.5 turbocharged liters and a CVT fall significantly short of my heightened expectations. The performance is certainly adequate, but our memory of turbocharged Hyundais and Kias is finer. We were hoping for compelling, and instead we got competent. With an attractive design, optimized practicality and class-competitive efficiency, the CR-V checks its usual boxes. We’d enjoy more torque, a conventional automatic and, when fully equipped, a price point closer to $30K than the as-tested $35K. If you don’t up-spec the tech, you can purchase a well-appointed CR-V for $30,000. And if we were in the market for a right-sized family hauler, that’s probably how we’d buy it. Honda’s press release touts premium design, big versatility and a fun-to-drive persona. We think they got two out of three. But for less than $35,000, that’s no bad thing.
