She made it back, and even as she went to retrieve her children, yet again everyone had to run to the shel-ter as the sirens sounded. But as her American future grew near, the fear of running to the family shelter was waning.
Yael brought her children to America to begin their new life.
And last month in Irving, as Yael sang the national anthem and recited the Pledge of Allegiance with the other 113 newly declared citizens, her long journey (a total of four years) of becoming an offi cial citizen of the United States was over.
“I was so excited – the ceremony was actually so emotional for me, it was very impressive too,” she said. “To see how my kids adjusted so well here and me work-ing in a government (offi ce)...that made me feel good with myself.
“It feels great.”

Front Street is going to have a semi-makeover within the next month.
The parking lot in front of the downtown shops will be completely redone and portions of Oak Street and Mesquite Trail will also get in on the mix.
The City of Aledo is going
to repave all of Mesquite Trail from East Oak Street south to Front Street at the cost of $87,844.50, according to Aledo City Administrator Ken Peifer, and Bryant Grain Company spent nearly $47,000 for the area of Front Street that runs in front of their corporate offi ces.
Steve Gandy, traffi c and plant opperator for Bryant Grain, said
excavation began June 11. Both will also split costs
for the Front Street parkinglot which is expected to costno more than $10,000. Bryant Grain and the City of Aledo would each pay a maximum amount of $5,000.
Aledo plans to begin the Mesquite Trail portion of the project within the next month.
Not long ago, Bell witnessed a stray Golden Retriever charge at her neighbor and small Chihuahua.
“That’s a big issue,” Nelson said. Another problem accompanying everything else is
one that bothers resident Linda Stadnyk very much, and she hopes the City of Aledo will do something about it.
Her fear is tornados. “I need to know if there’s any facility that we can go
to,” the fi ve-year tenant said. “I live in a ‘cardboard box‘, I love my ‘cardboard box’, but it’s going to blow away if there’s a tornado.
“I’m from New York, I’m not use to tornados.”Stadnyk’s gotten use to the rough weather. Her roof
wobbles in the heavy rain and her trailer sways with the gusting winds, but when the weather gets really bad, she evacuates to her son’s home or drives to Fort Worth.
“When you see those trees start swaying,” Stadnyk said, “you know something’s up.”
Carver addressed the concerns to the Aledo City Council June 24 to make them aware of the situation. Since his address was not on the agenda, the council could not make any motions or take any action.
Aledo Mayor Kit Marshall advised Carver to stay in communication with city hall as issues occur.
