soda fountain bubbles over with historyBy Shari Goldstein Stern

It was the year the Titanic sank, 1912, but Dallas was growing full steam ahead. On a dirt road-way called Knox Street in what was known as “North Dallas,” H.S. Forman opened the doors of Highland Park Pharmacy, from which a trol-ley car named “Dinkie” cov-ered routes to SMU.

R. E. (Phil) Wheelis went to work at the pharmacy in 1917. Forman’s niece, Lillie Mae Maple, began in 1919. Tom Wheelis, “Shorty,” joined his brother, Phil, and Charlie Day to become soda jerks in 1923. Cuney W. Hayes began deliveries in 1931.

The city had its first drive-in restaurant in the early 1920s, Highland Park Pharmacy, and it was cited in a newspaper article about the

institute to honor martin Luther King, Jr.

To mark the 10th anniver-sary of the MLK Symposium, the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture has commissioned the creation of an original stage play based on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s influential “Letter from Birmingham Jail” entitled “The 67th Book of the Bible.” The world premiere will debut on Monday, Jan. 19, 7 p.m. to 8:45 p.m., at the Dallas City Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District, 2520 Flora St.

To kick off the new year, the pavilion at the Stone Tables at White Rock Lake are going to receive a total makeover.

The Dallas Park and Recreation board and White Rock Lake Conservancy (WRLC) hosted a ground breaking ceremony for Phase 1 of the Stone Tables Project this week at the Stone Tables site at Buckner Boulevard and Lake Highlands Drive.

The picnic area is the most popular rental facility around the lake and is cur-rently booked for the next two years. Anyone who’s re-served the tables has seen that the pavilion has received a bit of wear and tear.

The White Rock Lake Conservancy was founded in 2008 by a group of park en-thusiasts at the request of the Dallas Park and Recreation Department. Its mission is to enhance the identity, beauty and safety of White Rock Lake in partnership with Dallas Park and Recreation and other neighborhood and lake volunteer groups, sup-port the improvement of the hike and bike trails, buildings

and park areas, and coordi-nate with other organizations with similar objectives.

WRLC and the Park and Recreation Department have created a master plan for the renovation with the help of volunteer architects and builders. WRLC has submitted the first round

of payment to cover the costs of the project and the Conservancy President, Mark Hoesterey, presented a check to Mayor Rawlings during the ceremony.

Phase I of the project centers on the removal of the existing pavilion floor and the replacement of a new concrete

and flagstone slab in the same style as the existing stone work. A new concrete base and flagstone border walk will be installed around the pavilion, as well as a similar pathway to the parking area. The current composition

playwright Will Power serves as the producer with Chicago’s acclaimed Derrick Sanders as the director. Following the play, there will be a panel discussion featuring Willie Pearl Mackey King, who tran-scribed King’s letter in 1963, and Professor Jonathan Rieder of Barnard College, author and expert on MLK and the “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”

Dr. Larry Allums, executive director of the Dallas Institute, said: “The Symposium brings to Dallas the best authorities on Dr. King’s achievement and legacy, and we are in for a powerful evening of perfor-mance. Combine Jonathan’s

salvation Army says this Charlie is an angel

Lakehill fifth grader Charlie Borowczak has been adopting angels through the Salvation Army’s program for a long time. So long, in fact, that he can’t really remember all the details on how he got started. His mom first told him about the program when he was just six years old, and he has been dedicated to it ever since.

Charlie said he had to take a year off in 2012 be-cause he broke his leg and had

phenomenon of car hops. The drive-in craze took off after WWII.

Fast forward to the 1950s and a little to the northeast. A young, 13-year-old kid started working as a stock boy, before being promoted to checker by 16 at a quaint,

neighborhood grocery store near the new Casa Linda Plaza. At the young age of 19, the kid made manager. It was when the neighborhood began its friendship with Sonny Williams at Minyard Food Store on Peavy Road at Garland Road.

All the mothers were impressed with the friendly, efficient young manager.

The neighborhood kids knew him from Gaston Jr. High and Bryan Adams High School, from which he graduated in 1961. Many of those kids got their first jobs from their friend Sonny at Minyard’s.

Williams attended Dallas Baptist University while working for Minyard and received a marketing degree in 1971. After having started with Minyard in 1956, he became store manager at 19. By age 29, he was a district manager. After a few more rungs up the ladder, he be-came president and COO of Minyard Food Stores.

His greatest perk while working for Minyard’s was getting to marry the boss’

Darn it all! I didn’t feel any of the recent Texas earth-quakes. My son did, but I didn’t. Pooey.

Gosh knows ev-eryone on the planet is aware of the snowing-one-minute to being 95 de-grees the next ever-chang-ing weather in Texas. We, as Texans, all live through it on a daily basis and brag about surviving it later. But I didn’t feel it on Tuesday. So I can’t say I survived an earthquake in Texas.

I am quite aware of all the fracking blame going on. To be perfectly honest with full disclosure, as per the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, I agree with the anti-fracking people.

Seriously? You guys and gals in the hydraulic fractur-ing industry, did you really think injecting large quanti-ties of dangerous chemicals with large amounts of water and then sand into wells at extremely high pressures wouldn’t have an after effect? Hello? It’s called “cause and effect” for a reason.

I actually experienced some pretty severe earth-quakes during my Hollywood days. One in 1987, which measured 5.9 on the Richter Scale, and one in 1994 with a 6.7 magnitude. It was scary both times! And I thought I had planned ahead.

In 1994, I lived alone with my devoted cat in a lovely, three-unit bungalow apartment in Burbank. NBC was right down the street, the Disney Studios were a block away, and I could see Warner Bros. production lot from my back door. It was an ideal lo-cation for an aspiring actress. And I had just won a consola-tion prize from a game show I appeared on: three cases of generic strawberry Pop-Tart-wannabes and a bunch of Turtle Wax. I joked with my family my generic cases of “tarts” were my “emergency food” if we had an earth-quake. Have I mentioned I do not like strawberry tarts?

grandfather worked for the railroads during the Great Depression, and he and his family, including my mother, lived on the railroad track. I mean, less than 50 feet away. I have many a childhood mem-ory listening to the trains go by in the dark of night as we slept at my grandparents’ house.

My point is, I know what a train sounds like. This was a fast-approaching train. At 4 a.m. in Burbank. And I did not live near any railroad tracks.

My cat and I jumped up simultaneously knowing something bad was about to happen. I scooped him into my arms, ran to the doorway and held on for dear life with one arm while clutching my cat with the other.

About 10 seconds later the back-and-forth-and-up-and-down shaking stopped.

My cat immediately jumped out of my arms and ran under the bed, and I ran to the phone.

An old-timey phone, mind you. This was way be-fore the days when every-one had a cell phone. We had what the old fogies like me call a “landline.” A real phone, connected to your house. You ran to answer it when you where home and had your answering machine (google it) pick up when you were out. When you got home it was fun (or sad sometimes) to see how many calls you had missed (or hadn’t).

I grabbed my home phone and dialed my mother as fast as I could. She an-swered right away.

Resetting your life for retirementBy Jason Alderman

The phrase “downsiz-ing for retirement” is popu-lar with Baby Boomers, the youngest of whom turned 50 last year.

It sparks a conversation about transition, which may include buying fewer new things, selling, gifting or do-nating possessions that are no longer needed and relocating to smaller quarters to create a more comfortable and afford-able retirement.

If you’ve diligently saved and planned for retirement, most experts say you should do this “final approach” three to five years before your planned retirement date. If your retirement finances aren’t as stable, it’s smarter to start the transition as early as possible while time is on your side.

The Demand Institute, a nonprofit think tank founded

by business research giants Nielsen and The Conference Board, reported last October (demandinstitute.org) that if the 2008 crash and its effect on employment, investments and housing prices had not happened, the typical Boomer household would have a net worth roughly 2.5 times what it is today.

This is all the more rea-son for many Americans to review and possibly “reset” their retirement clocks. Here are some suggestions to help you figure out where you are on the pre-retirement spec-trum and some changes you might consider:

Get a retirement check-up. Spend some time with a financial, tax and/or estate advisor to evaluate your cur-rent strategies and set — or reset — a reasonable retire-ment savings goal and date. Consult friends and family for reliable experts first and

for other qualified profes-sionals and check online with your state CPA society, the Association for Financial Counseling Planning and Education or the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.

See if moving makes sense. Great retirement desti-nations offer more than great weather, inexpensive housing and an affordable tax envi-ronment. Consider whether you want to be near family, a thriving arts community or superior health facilities. Where do you start? You’ve probably seen popular lists of retirement communities in leading magazines, and they supply good food for thought. National agencies like the Council for Community and Economic Research (c2er.org) produce an annual cost of liv-ing index for more than 300

Roberto GonzalezApril 13, 1924 — December 31, 2014

Roberto Gonzalez, age 90, passed away peacefully in his sleep on December 31, 2014. The oldest of his six siblings, Roberto was born in Mercedes, Texas, on April 13, 1924, to Genoveva Herrera-Gonzalez and Catarino Gonzalez. From an early age, Roberto demonstrated his dedication to his family and strong work ethic, helping his father run the successful fam-ily grocery store in Harlingen. Upon his graduation from high school, Roberto served in the Air Force during World War II. His example and commitment to his country compelled his four younger brothers to later follow in his footsteps. During his years of service, Roberto was stationed in Guam, and after three years, he com-pleted his service as a Staff Sergeant and Morse Code Radio Operator. Returning to Texas, Roberto attended the University of Texas in 1946 to pursue a BBA (class of 1952) in accounting; he went on to complete a Master’s in public accounting at the University of North Texas in 1974.

In 1949, Roberto married Eloisa Mojica, whom he met at their Presbyterian church in Kerrville, Texas. While

the couple initially settled in Austin and Roberto served for 12 years as a federal audi-tor for the U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare, the couple and their five children eventually moved to Richardson where Roberto worked for 21 years as Deputy Director for the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Education.

From his years in Harlingen with his parents and siblings, to his years in retirement, Roberto’s life was marked by his commitment to lifelong learning. Whether it was rising to the top of his class in his military training or acquiring a fourth lan-guage at the age of 75, Mr. Gonzalez loved learning and education and encouraged his children and grandchildren

in their own pursuits of knowledge. He continued to further his education after his retirement from public ser-vice in 1986; he kept his mind sharp through completing the daily paper’s crossword puzzles, reading and teaching himself about technology.

In addition to his love of learning, Roberto was fiercely committed to his alma mater, the University of Texas. An avid Longhorn fan, he en-joyed attending UT’s foot-ball, basketball and baseball games, and prided himself on following the Longhorn’s season’s each year.

Finally, Mr. Gonzalez was a man deeply committed to his family. From support-ing his children and grand-children, to lending a hand to a neighbor in need, his gener-osity, giving spirit and tire-less devotion to serving oth-ers was evident to those who knew him. He was preceded by his mother, Genoveva Herrera-Gonzalez, his father, Catarino Gonzalez, three brothers and one sister. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Eloisa, his five children: Norma, Cathy, Ruth, Lisa and Chris, five grandchildren, one great-grandson, and his brother, Raul Gonzalez.

Cowboy’s magical season continues

By David Mullen

In what began as a clash of good versus evil — and I don’t mean Highland Park’s Matthew Stafford versus (now) Highland Park’s Jerry Jones — the Dallas Cowboys beat the Detroit Lions 24-20 on Sunday in a scintillating playoff game full of twists, turns and controversy. It was as if the Cowboys were des-tined to win their first playoff game in five years, overcom-ing a home field disadvantage (4-4 at home) to beat a fero-cious defense building a repu-tation of stopping the run and stomping on opponents after the play is over.

The Cowboys had two days to think that the Lions would play without All-Pro Lions defensive end and an-kle-stomper Ndamukong Suh, who was first suspended for the game only to be reinstated by the NFL. Despite two quar-terback sacks, the Cowboys forced Suh into a 90-second postgame sob-fest when he told reporters, “I’m sorry. I’m speechless.”

There is something spe-cial about this Cowboys team. How else can one explain a team that comes out of the locker room looking so flat that they were dominated and down 14-0 after the first quar-ter. Unknown Dekoda Watson ran into Lions punter Sam Martin for a penalty at the goal line allowing the Lions offense to proceed to finish off a 14-play, 99-yard touchdown drive. Even Cowboys marks-man Dan Bailey missed a field goal. He never misses a field goal.

Dallas was outplayed for the first three quarters and

statistically beat overall for the game.

But then the magic began. How else can one explain Martin’s 10-yard shank of a fourth down punt with 8:25 left in the game? What about a phantom penalty flag picked up by the referee to overrule apparent pass interference? Dez Bryant kept his pants up but couldn’t keep his helmet on when he rushed the field to complain about the referee’s initial call. That is a clear vio-lation by any standard of NFL rules. Millions saw it happen on television; seven men in stripes missed it on the field.

Terrance Williams’ second touchdown, a six-yarder with 2:42 left, gave the Cowboys their first lead. Then there was Cowboys defensive end Marcus Lawrence causing more irony.

Lawrence recovered a fumble with a little more than two minutes left to play, which could have sealed the victory. He tried to run and fumbled the ball back to the Lions.

FOX — probably unfairly — im-mediately cut to the sidelines to show defen-sive assistant/defensive line coach Leon Lett, remembered for two famous fumbles in his Dallas career. A minute later, Lawrence sacked Stafford, recov-ered the fumble he caused, lied down on the ball, and the Cowboys

improbable victory was complete.

The Cowboys are unde-feated on the road this season. They complained about home games — such as the game against the Houston Texans — when the opposing crowd seemed louder than Cowboys fans. They lost three in a row during the regular season, yet were able to secure first place in the division in the second-to-the-last game of the regular season and now have won five in a row.

I firmly believe that the roll will continue in Green Bay when the Cowboys face the Packers on Sunday in Lambeau Field. The Cowboys match up better against Packers than they did against the Lions. The Cowboys (8.3) and Packers (8.4) average vir-tually the same yards per pass completion. Detroit was first in the NFL in rushing defense. Green Bay is 22. The Cowboys have the NFL’s leading rusher in DeMarco Murray and know that they must run to

PAGE 5JANUARY 9 - 15, 2015 WHITEROCKLAKEWEEKLY.COM

The coming week is likely to provide more than mere temptation — for temptation is as common as one's desires, and always plays a significant part in every individual's affairs. What many will encounter this week, however, is enticement — which is much more potent than mere "temptation" and, as such, is much more difficult to resist. Some will be simply unable to turn away from what is presented, no matter what the ultimate outcome may be. Others will put up a good fight, succumbing to their own ap-petites only at the last minute. And finally, there are those who will be able to resist — but at a cost. It is this last group that war-rants some analysis — for that cost is likely to be significant. All who fall into this category must weigh carefully the potential risks of giving in to temptation against the cost of remaining strong and resistant. There is a balance to be achieved — one way or another.

CAPRiCoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 6)

You'll want to investigate on your own in order to get all the up-to-date information that can prove most useful. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) — Style and simplicity are your watchwords. Don't try to overdo it, or overdress it!

AQuARius (Jan. 20-Feb. 3)

Others are likely to see you

coming, and your contributions are likely to be invaluable. Many will try to copy your unique style. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) — You're eager to reconnect with some-one who has been out of your life for a while, though some communication has been main-tained.

PisCes (Feb. 19-march 5)

You'll be making connections all week long, and friends and family members alike will surely benefit from your hard work. (march 6-march 20) — You'll want to confirm an arrange-ment made with a potential partner before you begin to put the pieces into place.

ARies (march 21-April 4)

You're ready to step up your game and play with the big kids. The opportunity to do just that is coming your way! (April 5-April 19) — Facts and figures may prove somewhat confusing to you, but the truth itself will be clearly understood.

tAuRus (April 20-may 5)

You may want to follow up on something that developed quickly over the past few weeks. A lot is going on, but you'll want to make time for this. (may 6-may 20) — So much is going on that you can find almost anything exciting, including a moment of rest!

Gemini (may 21-June 6)

A meeting early in the week gives you more of a sense of where things are going — pro-fessionally and personally. (June 7-June 20) — You're going to have to juggle many responsibilities, particularly when dealing with rival factions among your friends.

CAnCeR (June 21-July 7)

The responses to your work are likely to be off the charts, in large part because of the emotional investment you've made. (July 8-July 22) — Those around you will surely know the difference between a whole-hearted commitment, and something that is only half-way.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 7)

You're going to have to pursue a certain goal according to ac-cepted protocol, though in one instance you can break with tra-dition effectively. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) — You're likely to win the support of someone who can provide more than monetary as-sistance. You're building a team, and he or she might prove to be a key member.

ViRGo (Aug. 23-sept. 7)

You're likely to define your own success — and ultimate profit — in ways that differ dramati-cally from the traditional. (sept.

8-sept. 22) — Where you are going may not be clear to some, but others realize that you're actually leading them toward the promised land.

LiBRA (sept. 23-oct. 7)

You can approach someone in a much more casual way than usual early in the week. That which results can open doors for you both. (oct. 8-oct. 22) — You're eager to touch base with someone who has been in your thoughts for quite some time. Trust that contact can be made.

sCoRPio (oct. 23-nov. 7)

You may not realize just how close you are to realizing a dream of yours — until finally, toward midweek, indicators all shine brightly. (nov. 8-nov. 21) — In practice, you may not get the best results when, in theory, everything should have worked out perfectly. Analysis yields answers.

sAGittARius (nov. 22-Dec. 7)

You're able to go far, and per-haps even capture the attention of one who has been ignoring you and your efforts for too long. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) — A reunion of sorts has you making plans. A former partner seeks you out and asks for something you may not be willing to give — just yet.

Each row and each column must ●contain the numbers 1 through 4 (easy) or 1 through 6 (challenging) without repeating.The numbers within the heavily ●

outlined boxes, called cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners. Freebies: Fill in single-box cages ●with the number in the top-left corner.

'Another murder' kills at eisemannBy Shari Goldstein Stern

Kurt Kleinmann’s done it again! His latest Living in Black & White offering through Pegasus Theatre, “Another Murder, Another Show” opened last week at the Eisemann Theater to a tickled audience. The latest “whodunnit” includes the traditional quips, sarcasm and irony audiences have learned to expect. Patrons have also come to anticipate playwright, Kleinmann in the role of the bungling detective-aspiring-actor, Harry Hunsacker. However, at last year’s pro-duction of the annual holiday show, that became gray.

Kleinmann brought in understudy Scott Nixon to substitute for him as Hunsacker in some sched-uled performances last year, and Nixon plays the role this year for Saturday matinees. Except for his large, towering size, Nixon’s style is similar to Kleinmann’s in the role, al-though somewhat more en-ergetic. Having said that, part of Hunsacker’s persona is his

sluggish, just fell off the turnip truck demeanor. Nixon did a nice job of keeping the audience waiting and waiting and waiting for him to react. On the other hand, you gotta miss the charm of the lovable teddy bear of a bungling detective Kleinmann.

If you’re unfamiliar with Kleinmann’s trade-marked Living Black & White series, shows are meant to mimic 1930s black and white films. This is achieved through Kleinmann’s innova-tive use of wardrobe, makeup and hair, along with scenery, lighting and props.

This installment is set in a live theater during rehearsals for an awards show, and once again, the bungling Harry Hunsacker manages to get himself and his loyal associate, Nigel Grouse, involved with another murder. Kleinmann did use Cole Porter’s “Another Op’nin, Another show” from the musical “Kiss Me Kate,”

which was clever. It’s always nice to have something famil-iar among the otherwise un-expected twist and turns.

Eleven of 12 roles are played by Living Black & White veterans. They are Ben Bryant as Nigel Grouse; Chad Cline as Lt. Foster; and they also include Jarratt Calvert; Blake Hametner in

the voice of Eddie Wilson; Art Kedzierski; and Chris Messersmith. Returning cast also includes Leslie Patrick; Sheila Rose and Ben Schroth. Jarratt Calvert in the role of George Chandler and Chris Edwards understudying the role of Dayton Lummis are newcomers.

Angel Velasco entertains before the first and second acts by crooning some period favorites to a welcoming audi-ence. (He wears turquoise.) His voice and face may seem familiar, as he’s performed at many area theaters, includ-ing Uptown Players; Theatre Three and Too; Watertower and Dallas Children’s Theater.

The talented Michael Serrecchia again directed this Black & White installment and orchestrated the ensem-ble cast with large, exagger-ated action; screechy voices typical of the ’30s films they mimic; and more entrances and exits than you ever want to direct yourself. “Another Murder, Another Show” will run at the Eisemann Center in Richardson through Jan. 25.

They say a trend is dead when it’s adopted by the mainstream. If that’s the case, you could say the “banh mi” trend ended when Yum! Brands (the corporate entity behind Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut) decided to test a new banh mi-oriented con-cept in Dallas called Banh Shop.

Banh mi are Vietnamese sandwiches that incorporate both traditional Vietnamese flavors (cilantro, fish sauce, rice vinegar) and those brought to the country by French colonials (baguettes, pate). In an “authentic” banh mi the bread should be fresh and crunchy, with an airy texture; the pickled carrots and sliced cucumbers should be crisp. Meats and pate are somewhat interchangeable, with pork meatballs and pork belly being among the most popular.

If you’re going to open a restaurant called “Banh Shop,” the banh mi bet-ter be spot-on. I was a little leery — I admit, I kind of expected the banh mi version of Taco Bell’s interpretation of Mexican food — but I was really pleasantly surprised. (The chef-owners of one of my favorite restaurants, Malai

Kitchen, were involved in creating the menu, and their touch is evident in the sur-prisingly nuanced flavors in several of the dishes.)

The pork belly banh mi ($6.95) was my favorite of the three I tried, loaded with fresh-off-the-grill slices of glazed pork, pickled veg-etables and pate. (If you’re

squeamish about liver, don’t worry — they will ask you before they put it on the sand-wich.) It’s an off-menu “spe-cial,” but it was available on all of my visits.

I am usually hesitant to order a chicken banh mi — it’s usually grilled and doesn’t really stand up to the other ingredients in the mix.

Drunken Noodles, Saigon Street Corn and Steak Banh Mi at Banh Shop.

see BAnH on page 11

Banh Shop offers a chicken meatball ver-sion ($7.95) that was completely successful. Scallions were defi-nitely present but not overpowering, and the mild sweetness of the honey-garlic aioli was a tasty twist on the standard mayonnaise.

A steak version ($8.95) was the least successful. While all of the other ingredi-ents were as tasty as previous visits, there didn’t seem to be as much steak relative to the other sandwiches I tried. What steak was there was slightly chewy and bland.

If, for some rea-son, you visit a sand-wich shop and don’t want a sandwich, there are a couple of noodle dishes offered on the menu; we tried the

Drunken Noodles ($8.50). It was hit-and-miss: the crisp broccoli and flavorful meat-balls were pleasing, but a too-sweet sauce and chewy noodles detracted from the dish’s overall success.

Regardless of whether you go for a sandwich or

sirens started wailing. You could hear people starting to run outside. Neighbors began yelling, “Turn off your gas!”

Everyone in California has a gas tool. The one you use to turn off your house’s gas line in case of an earth-quake. Don’t you have one in yours? I’m not judging here. I don’t either. But people died that day in California. Including a motorcycle police officer who was rushing to help everyone else and drove off an exit ramp that was, lit-erally, gone. He just drove off the edge of a more than 100-foot overpass that had been standing strong seconds earli-er. During the holidays, I was a sick couch potato. While succumbing to my illness and utter laziness, I found myself watching TV at three in the morning. Normally, I fast forward during commercials (thank you TiVo) but for some reason I wasn’t. One of the commercials I saw that early morning was for ready.gov.

“What?” I thought to myself out loud. “Ready.gov? What in the world is that?”

According to the com-mercial and website: “Ready is a national public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to educate and em-power Americans to prepare for and respond to emergen-cies including natural and man-made disasters. The goal of the campaign is to get the public involved and ulti-mately to increase the level of basic preparedness across the nation.”

That means buy some extra batteries, folks. And water.

Please don’t let these “minor” infractions of our daily life take you by surprise. Trust me, you don’t want to live off generic, strawberry Pop-Tarts during a crisis. Maybe it’s time to get ready.

The same likely goes for other valuables like antiques, jew-elry and art. For real estate, get a broker evaluation and do online backup checks with property transfer listings over the last year or two in your area. As for valuables, check appropriate markets (from professional dealers) to sell, gift or donate those items and get tax and/or estate advice before all transactions.

Clarify your tax picture. If you make a huge profit on your home, you may owe taxes on the sale. Current IRS rules allow most couples to exclude up to $500,000 in home sale gains from their

taxable income and singles to exclude up to $250,000. Check with your tax advisor and consult IRS Publication 523 (irs.gov/uac/Publication-523,-Selling-Your-Home-1), “Selling Your Home.” Also, keep local property taxes and city and state taxes in mind if you’re considering an out-of-state move.

Decide what you plan to do post-retirement. Retirees may have at least 20 to 30 years of lifespan to fill post-retirement. If you’re hoping to keep working, start a business or transition permanently into travel or leisure activi-ties, these future goals have to align with your current re-tirement plan.

Bottom line: Everyone should set a “final approach” for retirement. That means reviewing your investments, lifestyle goals and the pos-sibility of a post-retirement career so you can adjust your money behavior to match.

The city of Dallas built the stone tables and pavil-ion in 1931 as the lake’s first picnic grounds. A few years later, a Civilian Conservation Corps camp was estab-lished at White Rock as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and the young men made more im-provements to the picnic area, which included the addition of a lily pond to the natural spring area, tree-planting and construction of the restroom facilities.

A playground was added in the 1990s.

Construction on Phase I began January 6 and should take around 60 days to complete.

become his iconic Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

He writes his letter on newspaper scraps, jailhouse toilet paper and anything he can find. The scraps are smuggled out of King’s jail cell and delivered to King’s chief of staff, Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker.

“The 67th Book of the Bible” tells the story of the creation of the letter, but it is told from the perspective of Walker and his secretary, Willie Pearl.

Together they have the long and frustrating assign-ment of deciphering King’s fe-verish writings. Wyatt knows the letter could be the only chance to resurrect a dying movement, and he promised King he would complete the task.

But Walker’s steely deter-mination to keep his promise

mLK cont'd frompage 1

to King threatens to drive away the one person he needs most to complete the task – Willie Pearl.

The “67th Book of the Bible” shines a light on the first two people ever to en-counter Dr. King’s prophetic letter and their determination not to be the last.

Cast members include Dennis Raveneau as A.G. Gaston, Kenneisha Thompson as Willie Pearl Mackey King and Vontress Mitchell as Wyatt Tee Walker.

this, that I would never spend the money on anything else,” he explains.

With his hard-earned money in hand, Charlie heads to the Angel Tree at NorthPark to select his angels, spending $100 on each child. He raised $700 this year, the most yet, and even encouraged a cousin to join him. With the $400 added by his cousin, Charlie was able to select 11 angels from the tree. Once he selects his angels, Charlie shops for gifts and takes them to the Salvation Army to be delivered to the children. “I plan to keep doing this for as long as I can,” Charlie said. “It makes me feel good and lets me be Santa to a lot of kids.”

Along with the famil-iar red kettles, the Angel Tree program is one of The Salvation Army’s highest profile Christmas efforts. Angel Tree was created by The Salvation Army in 1979 to provide clothing and toys for children at Christmas time. In the Metroplex, the program includes Angel Trees in 10 shopping malls and on-site at more than 400 area corpora-tions, churches and organiza-tions. The local communities have fully supported the Angel Tree program, making it pos-sible to help more than 50,000 North Texas children and seniors each year.

Parent/child teams give backBy Jennifer Barrow

More than 100 St. John’s students and their parents facilitated three large-scale community service projects December 13 as part of the sixth annual Crusader Club Cares Day. Every year, this morning of service organized by the school’s dads’ organi-zation, the Crusader Club, provides meaningful volun-teer experiences that make a lasting impact.

This year, the Crusader Club identified three proj-ects as the focus of the event. After gathering at school for breakfast and assignments, the teams of Pre-K through eighth graders and their par-ents disbursed to project sites.

Younger students and their parents assembled more than 800 bags of cookies with personalized notes and

pictures that were donated to SoupMobile, a mobile soup kitchen that feeds and shelters the homeless. The faith-based SoupMobile serves more than 200,000 meals per year and operates nine group homes.

Middle School students and their parents worked in the North Texas Food Bank distribution center, sorting and packing nearly 10,000 pounds of food. The non-profit hunger relief organiza-tion will distribute the food to its network of more than 250 partner agencies in 13 counties.

Since 2010, St. John’s students, working alongside their parents, have held par-ties for homeless families, collected and sorted canned goods at food pantries, and served meals at shelters as part of Crusader Club Cares Day.

Unless you’ve been trapped under something extremely heavy for the past month, you have been bom-barded with the controversy surrounding “The Interview.” The theories about who is actually behind the Sony hacking plot range from dis-gruntled former employees, the actual North Korean government or perhaps nerds in a basement with nothing better to do.

Well, it sure is a lot of noise for a ridiculously bad movie.

“The Interview” is not just bad, it is inventing lev-els of bad. In fact, all that goodwill that directors/writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg built up with movies like “Superbad,” “Pineapple Express” and “This Is the End” could be washed away in one ill-con-ceived swoop.

James Franco is Dave Skylark, a cheesy talk show host that brings celebs like Rob Lowe on to talk about their hair.

Rogen plays Aaron Rapaport, Skylark’s put upon producer, who wants noth-ing more than to do some-thing of substance with their Entertainment Tonight-like program.

That’s where Kim Jong-un (Randall Park) enters the picture. It turns out that President Kim enjoys American pop culture and is a huge fan of Dave and his show.

So, in an effort to do something of consequence, Dave and Aaron decide to try to land an interview with the elusive world leader.

As if the mere idea of this isn’t preposterous enough, the CIA gets in the mix. Agent Lacey (Lizzy Caplan) enlists these two dopes as would-be assassins, thus allowing for an attempt at a cliched, forced training montage at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va.

Up until this point, the laughs are few and far be-tween. Franco’s Skylark is an obnoxious buffoon, mugging embarrassingly, just begging for a laugh.

Rogen comes out

moVie tRAiLeR

‘the interview’ hardly worth fighting overBy Chic DiCiccio

relatively unscathed, as Aaron is the straight man to Franco’s circus monkey routine.

Once Dave and Aaron get to North Korea and enter Kim’s home, the chuckles pick up but at a very pedes-trian pace.

Sure, it’s amusing watch-ing Kim manipulate Dave’s tiny mind by driving him around in his tank, shooting hoops while bonding over their daddy issues, and then an all-night bender with pot and strippers, but fifteen min-utes of successful gags does not a movie make.

If anything, the most amusing and interesting character in “The Interview” is Sook (Diana Bang), the North Korean Director of Information. She and Aaron have a sex scene that is prob-ably the funniest moment of the entire movie.

If there is one thing that is definitely true about “The Interview,” it’s that it completely destroys the North Korean image of their Supreme Leader. This

fictional Kim Jung-un cries, whines and listens to Katy Perry while acting like a pet-ulant man-child. If anything, one can only hope that people in North Korea see just how ridiculous the rest of the world sees their “President.”

Of course, since the starving people of North Korea have to take turns on who gets to use the light bulb on a daily basis, there will be little box office returns from that nation.

Directors Rogen and Goldberg tried to score here with some unexpected hyper-violence, much like director David Gordon Green did with “Pineapple Express.” Unfortunately, most of it is failed. The amount of blood and gore in “The Interview” is shocking, but none of it has any comedic effect. Instead of being cartoon-like and fun, it’s just gratuitous and a waste of time.

The ultimate time waste of “The Interview” is James Franco. This is an actor that not only has an Oscar

nomination on his resume, he has actually been quite good in several movies.

He couldn’t possibly be more annoying as Dave Skylark. Yes, he is supposed to be a shallow simpleton, but this goes way over the line and is nails down the cin-ematic chalkboard.

Just how many references to genitalia and butts can an actor make in a movie? Franco is more than willing to push that envelope, mostly to highly-irritating levels.

“The Interview” is not funny stupid. It is just stu-pid. This thing is a mess, not knowing if it wants to be a slapstick comedy or satire. It’s not smart enough to be satire and all the big joke setups fall as flat as a pancake.

There’s just no amount of mind altering chemicals that can be ingested to make “The Interview” worth sitting through, unless you really want to anger the real Kim Jong-un. Then by all means, please fire down $5.99 and rent this one.

The Packers are unde-feated at home this year. But during the regular season, the Packers division competi-tion was not as fierce as the Cowboys, which I believe

muLL cont'd frompage 3

goes a long way to building the toughness needed to ad-vance in the playoffs. I think the Cowboys will win 31-24 on Sunday and advance to the NFC championship game.

This prediction is com-ing from someone who picked the Cowboys to go 4-12 this season. The specialness of this Dallas Cowboys team has caused me to admit “I’m sorry. I’m speechless.”

noodles, I definitely recom-mend sampling at least one of the side dishes. My favorite was the Saigon Street Corn ($2), an Asian-inspired ver-sion of elotes, the Mexican street corn. Coconut milk stands in for the crema and fish sauce is used in place of the lime juice.

The dish has it all: The coconut milk adds a mild sweetness, the fish sauce tangy acidity and salt, which both accentuate the smo-kiness of the charred corn. Sweet and Spicy Peanut Slaw ($2.25) was also surprisingly good: The peanut dressing was tangy with just a hint of sweetness and heat, and the cabbage was crunchy and fresh. Unfortunately, an order of Summer Rolls ($2) was a disappointment. The wrappers had not been soaked long enough (or were soaked too far ahead of time and had dried out) so were a little rubbery. While the fill-ing was mostly fine, I found a desiccated mint leaf in one of them, which put me off trying the other one.

Open since September, Banh Shop has already been involved in a controversy: The original logo featured a red star, hearkening back to Vietnam’s troubled past and perhaps bringing up painful memories for those who fled the Communist regime in the ’60s and ’70s.

Advocate Jimmy Wayne is a former foster child turned country music singer/song-writer whose songs highlight his mission to bring aware-ness to kids who age out of the foster system and become homeless.

In 2010, Jimmy walked from Nashville to Phoenix, Ariz. to raise awareness for kids aging out of the system, and the following year be-came the national spokesper-son for CASA. Jimmy was instrumental in getting the bill changed in California and Tennessee to extend the age of foster care to 21.

His recently released autobiography “Walk to Beautiful” chronicles his own struggle through the foster care system.

When completed, this expanded campus will include an out-door amphitheater, com-munity garden, a Museum of Street Culture, an Art Gallery for the Open Art Program, and expanded space for its partner agencies and its own programs.

The Soup’s On! recep-tion and art sale begins at 11 a.m. on January 20 with the luncheon at noon. The Omni Dallas is located at 555 South Lamar. Sponsorships, tables and individual tickets (beginning at $150) are now available. For more informa-tion and to purchase tickets call 214-382-5915 or go to SoupsOnDallas.org.

daughter, Gretchen Minyard Williams. “I grew up know-ing Gretchen and her family. Her father was like my fa-ther,” William’s said. Thirty-six years later, the couple adopted the first of their two children, who are now 16 and 10. After the turn of the century, Highland Park Pharmacy celebrated 90 years of business in 2002, and Minyard Food Stores was sold in 2004. Looking for a job, Williams asked the owner of Highland Park Pharmacy, Thell Bowlin, if he’d ever thought about sell-ing. His response was a little brash.

“I had been going there all my life,” Williams said. So a couple of months later he approached the owner again with, “Remember me?” to which Bowlin answered, “It’s still no.”

Then, in 2006, the owner’s health began failing, and Bowlin agreed to sell the store and to stay on working there. He worked there right up until his death not long ago.

At the time, Sonny and Gretchen Minyard Williams’ com-pany, Minyard Food Stores, was sold and they became owners of the Dallas land-mark. There were still four long-term employees work-ing, one of whom was an 86-year old woman.

When the store became sur-rounded by CVS and Walgreen’s stores, it was time

for a change. After Williams closed the pharmacy in 2010, he increased seating from the former 29 seats to 69. The new name was Highland Park Soda Fountain. Everything else about it remained the same, hanging onto its charm.

Williams spends about 20 hours a week at the store, including Saturdays and the third Sunday of the month, and his wife works a couple of days a week. They have a staff of 12.

In 2011, Ebby Halliday and White Rock Lake cel-ebrated their 100th birthdays.

For Highland Park Soda Fountain’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2012, 450 loyal customers and friends gath-ered under a tent, including newsmakers like the Mayor, Jerry Jones, many Dallas Cowboys and Mavs and Ebby Halliday, for example.

“Once Ebby was in for lunch with her assistant, Betty,” Williams shared. “She ordered her regular: A grilled cheese sandwich and a root beer float. When I asked why she didn’t try something new, she told me, ‘I’ve been doing this for 60 years I’m not going to change now.’”

Highland Park Pharmacy was a hangout for kids of all ages all the way back to 1912.
