COME TO THE FAIR
LOUISIANA GUMBO
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken, cut in pieces
1 can (16 ounces) whole tomatoes in juice,
undrained
1 bayeaf
1 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce
3/4 pound shelled and deveined medium-
size shrimp
1 package (10 ounces) frozen whole okra,
cut into 2-inch pieces
3 cups cooked rice
In large saucepot, heat oil; add flour and cook over
low heat, stirring often, until roux turns dark brown in
color and develops a nutty aroma.* Add onions, celery,
green pepper and garlic and cook until vegetables are
tender. Slowly add chicken broth, a little at a time, stir-
ring after each addition; bring to a boil. Brown chicken
pieces separately until golden in color and add to sauce-
pot with tomatoes, bay leaf, and Tabasco sauce. Simmer,
uncovered, 45 minutes. Add shrimp and okra; cook 10
minutes longer. Serve .with rice and additional Tabasco
sauce, if desired.
YIELD: 6 to 8 servings.
*Roux, the mixture of fat and flour, is a traditional
basis for much Louisiana cooking. When cooked for a
short period of time, it remains white, but the more it
cooks, the darker it becomes. This additional cooking
time not only results in a nutty flavor, but also adds color
to the dish being prepared.
There must be a good reason.

However, The Martins
agreed that Rachael has
made progress since she
was first enrolled in the
Infant Development Pro-
gram at the Dallas Society
Rachael has been receiving
physical, occupational, and
speech therapy.
“There have been a lot of
changes since she began
therapy at the Dallas So-
ciety. Feeding is probably
the biggest thing. She is
eating much better. Her
head control is better, too,”
Brenda said. She added
that the therapists had
helped them learn the best
way to handle her.
Wayne said that they have
been very pleased with how
well Rachael’s older sister,
Elizabeth, has adjusted to
the situation. She plays
well with Rachael, and has
even tried to practice the
therapy exercises with her.
In addition to Elizabeth,
age 3, the Martins have
another daughter. Carolyn,

age 3 months. They said
that one of the things that
has been hardest on the
siblings is that everyone
always pays more attention
to Rachael.
The Martins said that
having a handicapped child
has affected their lifestyle
in other ways, too. Taking
Rachael to therapy and
doctors' appointments
takes a great deal of time.
They also spend more time
at home and go out alone
less often.
“The biggest thing we
hear form others is that she
will be fine in a couple of
years. It has taken a while
for us to accept the fact that
the problem is not going to
go away,” Wayne said.
Rachael is one of 15
children scheduled for
therapy at the Dallas Soci-
ety for Crippled Children-
North Center, which opens
this June at Dedman Medi-
cal Center in Farmers
Branch.
When Rachael Martin was
born, her parents knew that
she might have problems.
She was born 15 weeks
early, weighing only 1
pound, 11% ounces. She
had a cerebral hemorrhage
and other complications
while she was in the hospi-
tal, ans was not discharged
to go home until 6%
months after birth.
When the Martins
brought Rachael home to
the Colony they hoped that
most of her medical pro-
blems were over. But
shortly after they brought
her home, they noticed that
Rachael was not progress-
ing like she should, so they
took her to a private physi-
cal therapist. The therapist
said she suspected that
Rachael had cerebral palsy
and recommended that she
be taken to the Dallas
Society for Crippled Child-
ren for evaluation.
The Martins reside at 5040
Walker Drive.
The Dallas Society for
Crippled Children is a non-
profit, outpatient rehabili-
tation facility for handi-
capped children. Rachael
was evaluated and a diag-
nosis of cerebral palsy con-
firmed.
“I think we always kind of
knew she was going to have
problems because of her
medical history,” Ra-
chael’s mother, Brenda,
said. “We had to adjust to
her having problems from
the very beginning because
she was so small when she
was born. Even so, you
hope that there isn’t going
to be anything else
wrong.”
“Our initial reaction was
that we didn't know what to
expect or what the con-
sequences were. We were
just happy that she was
alive,” said Wayne, Ra-
chael’s father. ...
