TURTLE CREEK

Find us at facebook.com/KTWeekly

The 13th Annual Tour of Homes is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 27. Presented by The Turtle Creek Association, four impres-sive high-rise residences and one single-family home will be opened to the public. The tour offers attendees a rare opportunity to walk through and view an impressive as-sortment of luxury homes customized by notable Dallas designers.

The 2014 Turtle Creek Association Home Tour is the primary fundraiser for the non-profit organization dedi-cated to preserving the Turtle Creek area’s 87 acres of green-ways and parkland. The tour climaxes with a separately ticketed post tour reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at The Sky Club atop The Mayfair at Turtle Creek.

This designer showcase of homes offers a rare look at high-rise and upscale liv-ing in the Turtle Creek area. Members of Turtle Creek Association serve as docents in each home, sharing infor-mation about the art collec-tions, accoutrements and the connection with local design-ers, architects and builders.

“The sheer talent and ex-pertise from these designers and architects comes through in each of the homes,” said Jon Beasley, president of Turtle Creek Association. “We deeply appreciate the homeowners who have so gra-ciously opened their homes to our fundraising tour.”

The featured private residences are located at 4430 Abbott Ave.; Turtle Creek North, 3701 Turtle Creek Blvd., 9th floor; 3525 Turtle Creek Blvd., 16th floor; The Vendôme on Turtle Creek, 3505 Turtle Creek Blvd., 16th

Photographer unfazed by lunar eclipse

Photo by Can Turkyilmaz

On late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, an uncommon lunar eclipse was visible in the Dallas sky. The stages were captured by Katy Trail Weekly and White Rock Lake Weekly photographer Can Turkyilmaz. “I was too lazy to put the camera on a tripod,” Turkyilmaz said. “I shot from 11:45 p.m. to 4 a.m. I watched NASA's live feed for the development of the phases and I went out every 20 minutes. I shot with a hand held Nikon D800 SLR and 200 mm lens. I have steady hands.” The lunar eclipse was evident in most of North America. Two more lunar eclipses, caused by the moon moving into Earth’s shadow, will appear in the next 12 months.

other blockbuster duos, their music is their own style of pure genius.

Tuesday night’s opening of “Evita” at Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) was one of the best of DSM’s season. “Evita” has staged earlier pro-ductions at DSM, but this is the most memorable.

Based on what history tells us about the character, Caroline Bowman captures Eva Duarte Perón’s ruthless manipulation, greed, passion and ambition for power, while representing herself as cham-pion of the poor. At the same time she embodies elegance and beauty, with powerful vocals that are extraordinary. Bowman doesn’t play Eva — she is Eva.

Award winning set de-signer Christopher Oram’s

presidential mansion, com-bined with Kristina Kloss’ dramatic lighting, is breath-taking. Oram also created the costumes. Fashion maven Eva’s gorgeous wardrobe is a piece of business in itself.

Josh Young’s Che is an-other standout, with vocals in a class all their own. You would readily pay to hear him in concert.

The ensemble couldn’t be more talented, set off by Oram’s period costumes and skilled choreography by Chris Bailey. The only thing miss-ing is the unforgettable pro-duction number when stage is filled with a formation of officers in military attire per-forming a precision routine to a march beat. The slick tango

Comes from the term “kicked the bucket.” I guess the “Urban Dictionary” is not too concerned about fragmented sentences. Noah Webster is rolling over in his grave.

There are references that state “bucket list” comes from corporate meeting jargon, re-ferring to items that have not

been addressed and are tabled, or “put in the bucket,” for next time. Credit is given to the 2007 movie “Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. But the term seems to have been around much longer than

seven years.So let’s define “bucket

list” as a list of accomplish-ments that are attainable and achievable before one dies. ESPN’s Keith Olberman used to report on the status of an athlete’s injury. If the injury was not too severe, he or she would be listed by team trainers as “day-to-day.” “But aren’t we all?” Olberman would deadpan.

So when is it time to create a bucket list? As come-dian Steven Wright said, “I don’t plan on dying. So far, so good.”

I am probably never going to retire, but I will wake up one morning when hang gliding or surfing in the ocean will no longer be an option. If I wake up. (Hey look! A fragment that “Urban

I wish I could finish a book. Not reading one, but writing one. I have started writing many books but never finished.

Katy Trail Weekly and White Rock Lake Weekly soci-ety editor Sally Blanton and her two partners recently released “100 Things to Do in Dallas-Fort Worth Before You Die.” It is a fun and playful guide through the must-do things in the area. Pages are filled with catchy headlines like “Take Your Mama for some Drama” or “Channel Your Inner Carnivore.” Somehow, hang gliding or surfing in the ocean didn’t make the list.

On the cover of the book is an empty tin pail. The headline in the press release states the book “Uncovers the Area’s Ultimate Bucket List.” Just what is the origin of “bucket list” and why has the term become such a popular part of the current lexicon?

“The New American Webster Handy College Dictionary, Fourth Edition” doesn’t define “bucket list,” but it does define “kick the bucket” as a slang term mean-ing “die.” The equally handy “Urban Dictionary” defines “bucket list” as “A list of things to do before you die.”

Kicking around a 'bucket list'By David [email protected]

Dictionary” would be proud of).

One caveat to the bucket list – items must be attainable by cash, credit card or sheer moxie. I am not going to put on the list a date with Anna Kendrick, or hanging out with the Pope, or walking on the moon.

So let’s start today. I have been fortunate to have already seen a baseball game in every major league base-ball park, which seems to be on many sports fans “bucket list.”

I have already visited all 50 states. I have hot air ballooned many times and have no desire to climb Mt. Everest. I want a real challenge!

I have already gone fly fishing in Colorado and got tennis elbow. I have navigated the choppy waters of San Francisco Bay in a small sail-boat and got seasick. I have hit the green at the famous island hole on 17 at TPC Sawgrass - four times - before a golf ball finally held.

I have already taken my “Mama to a Drama” and “Channeled my Inner Carnivore” at many places around town although that conquest remains unachieved. I have seen the Eiffel Tower and Mt. Rushmore and mar-veled at the engineering. I have ridden long distances on a train and marveled at the engineering.

I guess I will just have to give more consideration to my “bucket list.” Maybe I will write a book about it.

Vickery Towers will close its doors July 15, leaving their 243 residents to find new homes before then.

Senior residents must move, community offers support

When Lucian “Dutch” Siekman sits down to lunch with his friends these days, he says the conversation has changed. “Instead of asking ‘what’s on the menu?’ people are asking, ‘where are you going to live?’”

Seikman is a resident of Vickery Towers on Belmont Avenue in East Dallas. On April 3, he and the other 242 residents learned the residen-tial elder care and senior liv-ing community will be clos-ing July 15.

The self-deprecating funny man quipped, “They want us inmates out by end of June!”

The skinny at the bingo table is that Emeritus doesn’t own the land the five-story property sits on, but regula-tors are set to require build-ing updates including wider halls and new elevators, for example. The company doesn’t want to bear those expenses so it is closing down instead. Siekman lightens up the talk with, “They’re mak-ing more babies every day, but no one is making any more land.”

Summer Hammerle, MHSA, is regional director of operations for Emeritus, which owns Vickery Towers.

About Siekman, she said, “His sense of humor is indicative of the heart and at-titude of many of our Vickery residents. They took the news with such poise and grace, and have been supportive of each other. They’ve formed

strong bonds with their neighbors.”

Hammerle said the clo-sure is based on building code progression that has occurred during the years. The compa-ny determined the amount of upgrading necessary to bring the 42 year-old building up to compliance with codes isn’t practical. “There have been several renovation eras which included the adding of din-ing rooms and kitchens, add-ing generators for emergency power and fire safety system including monitoring and sprinklers, attached interior walkways, new elevators and eight years ago we underwent a 16 million dollar renova-tion,” Hammerle said.

She said the company thinks it will be best to re-locate its residents to more modern senior communities, whether it’s one of the other Emeritus communities in the area, or another residence. Emeritus has several other Dallas area communities, including White Rock, Lake Highlands, North Dallas, Farmers Branch and others.

Siekman said most resi-dents have either moved al-ready or found a place. He quipped, “I’ve been looking under the bridge but I haven’t found a spot yet.”

Emeritus is offering its help to residents arranging their moves. “We’re having one-on-one meetings with our residents and their fami-lies to help them find solu-tions. Some are relocating to other Emeritus communi-ties,” Hammerle said.

The residence is also

providing bus tours to visit other residences and make comparisons.

Vickery Towers held a se-nior living expo last weekend and have scheduled another. “We invited other facili-ties in addition to Emeritus communities.

Many residents are choosing to move earlier than July, and we’re actively working with them and their families through the process,” Hammerle said.

She and some of the staff have commandeered a confer-ence room and set up a boiler room. They stuck boards on the wall with each of the 243 residents’ name and records updates.

Bradshaw feels that, with the number of high quality living options that offer com-parable rates around the area, she doesn’t anticipate any problems. “Other Emeritus communities are offering free rent for all of May and possi-bly all of June for those resi-dents with memory issues.”

Vickery Towers is work-ing with a moving company to provide good rates to all residents. Emeritus is pay-ing for the entire move for those moving to another Emeritus community. Other area residences outside of the Emeritus, Brookdale and Telisis locations are paying for moves to their community.

In addition to the resi-dents’ need to find another home, Vickery Towers’ staff of more than 115 are being displaced and must find new employment after the closure.

Danielle Sikora“My apartment doesn’t have recycling, which is a shame. Living in Dallas, you’d think that’d be a bigger priority. I do try to use a reusable mug or tumbler whenever I get coffee instead of wasting

the paper ones all the time. I also try to use reusable ‘Tupperware’ to take my lunch.”

Veronica Alcantar“I like to recycle as much as I can.

I do believe that Dallas’ decision to partially ban plastic bags will be helpful and encourages people

to use re-usable bags and reduces the impact of grocery shopping in the environment.

More businesses should incentivize customers to use those. I know Trader Joe’s enters you in a

drawing for a gift card.”

David Russell “Our apartment doesn’t have a recycling program so we had to improvise. I was able to get a roll of

city-provided recycling bags from Richardson which we fill up and then take to my mother-in-law’s

where the city will pick them up.”

Jenni Jane Hellstern “I already do a bit of eco-friendly activities. I grow

my own vegetables and I try to visit the Farmers Market as much as I can.

I also try to ride a scooter since the emissions on it are so much less than an actual car.”

“What are you doing, if anything, to be more eco-conscious?”

By David [email protected]

An outcome Barnett would never have calledMULL IT OVER

In a business where luck often trumps skill, and audi-ence comfort often trumps talent, Dave Barnett has it all. He is talented and skilled, lucky and likeable.

A graduate of the University of North Texas (formerly North Texas State) and still residing in Denton County, Barnett has often been at the right place at the right time.

“I was hired by KRLD (Dallas’ all news station) while in college to do news tape editing,” Barnett said. “They had the late Frank Giebler and Brad Sham for sports, so I started doing more features, and then I graduated.

“I had done games at UNT, and then I got a chance to fill in for Sham doing SMU games,” Barnett said, prepar-ing for the break of a lifetime. “Then the Dallas Mavericks came to town.

“Mark Holtz (best known as the late Rangers announc-er) got the play-by-play job and he was great. But he only lasted one year before the Rangers offered him a job. It was incredible good fortune,” he said. Still in his early 20s, Barnett was offered the radio play-by-play job for the Mavericks.

Former Mavericks General Manager Norm Sonju brought him some tapes of other announcers to study. “They were limited to finding someone local (for radio) and only about 15 games were on television. I had to learn on the job. It took one full year to catch up with the speed of the game at age 23.

“I didn’t feel like a be-ginner. I had to figure out and show my hand, which led to my own style,” Barnett said. For the next seven NBA seasons, from 1981 to 1988, Barnett was the lead radio announcer for the Dallas Mavericks. But then the San Antonio Spurs called with a television gig.

“By this point, more games were on TV,” Barnett said. “The Spurs were about to get really good. They had drafted (Hall of Fame cen-ter) David Robinson the year before, and just hired (current SMU coach) Larry Brown to coach.”

Barnett married in 1986 “in the beginning of my sixth year with the Mavericks,” he said. His son was born in Arlington and his daughter was born in San Antonio. “San Antonio was a great place to raise a fam-ily,” Barnett said. He spent eight seasons with the Spurs. Established in television and radio broadcasting at only 37, Barnett moved his family back to the D/FW area where he took a job with ESPN.

“Whatever is in season,” Barnett said, when asked of his favorite sport. ESPN afforded opportunities to work on a variety of events although Barnett is drawn “more toward college foot-ball,” which is ESPN’s forte.

Fortune struck again when Barnett was at the right place at the right time. “I had known (Baseball Hall of Fame announcer) Eric Nadel from WBAP,” Barnett said. At one time, local radio sta-tion WBAP was the flagship station for both the Rangers and the Mavericks. “I was sit-ting at home when a couple of friends called and told me that the other Rangers an-nouncer (Victor Rojas) was leaving.” Rojas had just taken a job with MLB Network. Without the massive, nation-wide search that accompanies most major league play-by-play jobs, Barnett was back behind the microphone, this time with the Texas Rangers.

“It was incredible,” Barnett said. “I have been a Rangers fan since day one. I knew I would never get a job like this.”

Already known and popular in the Dallas market, Barnett fit right in. He and Nadel were seamless on the Rangers broadcasts, sounding like they had been working together for years.

He also enjoyed a person-al milestone. “I got to broad-cast a World Series game in

2010,” Barnett said.In 2011, the Rangers

relieved Josh Lewin of his television play-by-play duties and hired likable, local sports personality John Rhadigan to be the lead TV announcer. Rhadigan, who had never done baseball play-by-play at the major league level, strug-gled and lasted less than two months. Barnett was moved up to the television booth teaming with veteran color man Tom Grieve. Former major league pitcher Steve Busby was hired to replace Barnett on radio.

Barnett finished the 2011 season and continued as lead TV announcer into the 2012 season. In San Diego, Calif. in the bottom of the eighth inning on the evening of June 18, 2012, in the most unex-pected and bizarre manner, Barnett’s luck ran out.

“I still don’t know what happened,” Barnett said. “I don’t remember anything. I never felt bad.”

“Go-ahead run is at fifth (pause) on what (Rangers reliever Mike) Adams is in-sisting on calling it a botched robbery. What actually hap-pened was (pause) his hench-men took a piece, literally, out of . . . ” Barnett said. For the next 15 seconds, Barnett went silent. Only crowd noise could be heard. Then he re-turned speaking and finished the inning and the broad-cast. One could only specu-late what had happened. The initial report was a migraine headache.

“It is a medical anomaly. I had tests from one doctor to another. They don’t know what caused it. They don’t know what it was, but they know what it wasn’t. It is a ‘Catch 22.’”

The Rangers removed Barnett from the broadcast team pending further testing.

High school student sitting pretty with DARTBy Shari Goldstein [email protected]

Next time you’re stopped at a red light, you may be lucky enough to have DART bus No. 41046 in the next lane. That special vehicle bears artwork from Vivie Behrens, the 16-year-old win-ner of Best of Show in DART’s annual student art contest. It just might take a ride on other DART exteriors over time.

Behrens and her fam-ily made a scheduled stop at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) where the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts sophomore was present-ed with the award. In addi-tion to her art displayed on a DART bus, Behrens poster is hanging on the second floor of the DMA. She also earned a $1,000 cash award.

DART’s annual contest was open to grades K-12 at area schools, and drew 951 entries from 92 schools. Awards are presented in a number of different catego-ries, including elementary, middle and high schools. “Off we go!” was this year’s theme. All of the winning entries are displayed on DMA’s second floor or can be seen at http://bit.ly/1m0vvaa.

Behrens’ poster will also be entered into another

DART competition at D/FW airport.

Thaddeus Behrens, Vivie Behrens’ father said, “My wife, Amy and I are so very proud of her.

So is her little sister, sev-enth-grader Cicily. We always knew she was talented, now the world knows it! Vivie’s been burning up Facebook since we got home!”

According to the winner, “Of course I’m very honored that DART chose me as Best of Show. It’s neat that DMA provided the venue for the

presentation and is exhibit-ing my work, along with that of other winners. I appreci-ate the local businesses who helped provide the prize money.”

When asked what she will do with the winnings, Behrens said she will put cash toward new art materials, and sock the rest away for col-lege. The artist has designs on attending a liberal arts

BARNETT cont'd frompage 3

The coming week is likely to see many individuals going through subtle changes of all kinds – some intentional, some unintentional, some completely unconscious and uncontrived, some the product of much thought and planning. The important thing is that everyone who is going through any kind of transformation at this time will do it from the ground up. Even the tiniest and most in-visible of changes must hap-pen internally first, and exter-nally second. Even something as basic as a new hairdo must be an extension of something that happens on the inside; if not, the resulting beauty will truly be only skin deep!

The temporary is likely to take on greater signifi-cance than usual, in ways both good and bad. There are those who will shy away from anything that doesn't appear to be lasting or permanent, but they are forsaking a great deal of potential by turning away from temporary de-velopments that can lead to permanent rewards.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5)

It's important for you to keep tabs on all developments, both large and small. Internal rhythms may be changing. (May 6-May 20) – Give your-self more of a chance to do what doesn't come easily; repeated efforts will eventu-ally pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6)

You want to be playing with the big kids, and you'll have a chance to prove that you have what it takes. (June 7-June 20) – How you re-spond to another's objections will make all the difference. The "powers that be" are im-pressed with you!

CANCER (June 21-July 7)

You may want to get as many initial ideas from as many different sources as possible. Later you can start narrowing them down. (July 8-July 22) – You may wonder at anoth-er's approach, but by week's end you'll realize that you have much in common.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7)

You may have trouble doing something that has, in the past, come quite easily to you. There is reason for con-cern, at least for now. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – It seems as though no one agrees with you on a certain key point, but in fact you do have your supporters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7)

A rival may take the lead as the week opens, but you have something up your sleeve that will enable you to reclaim the top spot before long. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You may not be in control of everything, but certain things

do certainly bend to your will.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7)

You will find it more difficult to do things without attract-ing attention. You must be sure to do the right things! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – This is, indeed, where the plot thick-ens, as something you've been working on comes to fruition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7)

You'll have the chance to explore something new with-out taking any real chances. You can keep other dangers to a minimum, as well. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You'll be drawn down a path that is fraught with uncertainty. Hold on to what you know.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7)

The truth is not likely to re-veal itself to you until you are willing to reveal more of yourself to others. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – A chance en-counter may have you reveal-ing certain secrets that you've been keeping for quite a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6)

You'll discover much about yourself, and you're likely to realize that someone else has been right about you all along. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Let your thoughts go, and you'll

discover that you can actually imagine things with much more clarity than usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3)

Your creative approach may not be shared by many, but even those who are most crit-ical can find something about you to praise and admire. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Now is the time for you to make things easier for someone else. He or she will return the favor when the time comes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5)

You may not be getting the results you most expected, but a change in approach is not advised. Profits will start to accrue. (March 6-March 20) – You're anticipating something that others feel is not at all possible, but most signs point to a development that supports your posi-tion.

ARIES (March 21-April 4)

You may receive news this week that requires you to make different plans for the period just ahead. Fortunately, you were pre-pared. (April 5-April 19) – Your expertise is never in doubt, but there are those who may question your mo-tives. You can come out of this unscathed.

New book details area favorites

Three local writers have collaborated to compile a go-to guide of the most interesting diversions and excursions in the D/FW area. Created for visitors and locals, “100 Things to Do in Dallas-Fort Worth Before You Die” (Reedy Press) is writ-ten by Katy Trail Weekly and White Rock Lake Weekly soci-ety editor Sally Blanton, former Dallas Morning News writer Steve Richardson and public relations and marketing specialist Andrea Alcorn.

The book is a mixed bag of traditional favorites, trending activities and lesser-known unique options. Highlights include sitting atop one of the tallest Ferris wheels in America, driving a racecar at Texas Motor Speedway or enjoying one of the area’s great steakhouses.

“100 Things to Do in Dallas-Fort Worth Before You Die” is available on www.amazon.com.

Because testing took so long, Barnett never returned to the broadcasts. “I figured they would take me off of the air for a couple of days,” Barnett said.

The Rangers promoted Busby to television broad-casts, and brought up Matt Hicks from the Nolan Ryan-owned Corpus Christi Hooks to replace Busby on the radio. The television and radio broadcast teams remain un-changed today.

Now 55-years-old with more than 30 years of big league experience, Barnett thinks there is a perception that he may have become too expensive for his profession or that another on-air epi-sode could occur. Subsequent broadcasts, such as UNT football telecasts, have pro-ceeded without incident. He is currently slated to broad-cast a handful of Big 12 base-ball games on FOX Sports 1.

Barnett thinks that if they had a name for what caused his episode, he would be back broadcasting fulltime.

“I will consider any

offer that comes along. They think I am too expensive or that I am damaged goods. I just want to get back into my profession.”

At the end of the eighth inning on that fateful night, when Ranger left fielder Leonys Martin reached up over his head to grab a line drive and keep the San Diego Padres from scoring, Barnett said, “This was almost a com-pletely different inning.” As it turns out, it was.

Former Mayor Laura Miller is pok-ing her nose into the Transwestern multi-family deal up at Northwest Highway and Preston Road, the proposed devel-opment respon-sible for all those “No” signs all over Preston Hollow. Miller asked Councilwoman Jennifer Gates, who is sit-ting this one out due to a conflict of interest, to replace the proxy she picked, City Councilman Lee Kleinman. Gates has not responded to Miller, perhaps based on the advice of the Dallas City Attorney. Meantime, Lee Kleinman, who would like to see more development in Dallas, said he is closer to the controversial Pink Wall neighborhood than Miller is. He also is a Dallas na-tive and St. Mark’s alumuns. Meantime, yours truly found

out that Steve Wolens, Laura’s hubby, owns an 1,800 square foot condo at The Athena on Northwest Highway.

East of Central Expressway, in-vestors want to build a restau-rant on parkland at the northern end of White Rock Lake, just off Mockingbird Lane, on a strip of land called

“Boy Scout Hill.” Though they are just "feeling out" the neighborhood before plow-ing ahead, most of the feed-back has been pretty negative, especially in a neighborhood known for fiercely defending its urban lake.

Two years ago, this 'hood battled a plan to mow a meadow called Winfrey Point and turn it into a commer-cial parking lot. Guess they haven’t heard the law east of Central: Don't mess with Lakewood.

But I’d sure like to mess with this home overlooking

White Rock Lake.As I was driving to the

Mad Hatters luncheon at the Dallas Arboretum last week, I passed by this house and stopped dead in my tracks on West Lawther Drive. In fact, it was the reason why I missed half of Jam Strimple’s fabulous fashion show. It was entirely worth it. I was driv-ing in front of 4646 Chapel Hill Road, one of the most beautifully situated homes in Dallas. Set on 1.03 acres and fronting Chapel Hill Road, this home overlooks White Rock Lake with clear, 180-de-gree lake views.

The wind was blowing, sun shining, there were slight waves, and I was, while stand-ing in front of this home, transported into a tranquility state of mind.

No wonder we are drawn to beach homes!

Here’s the deal: it’s a steal. Previously listed at $2,149,000, Doris Jacobs over at Allie Beth Allman now has it for $1.95 million. Built in 1976, the home was remod-eled in 1995 and is a state-ment of late mid-century modern design. This home is so like the homes I grew up in. And get this: I have the very same black Chinoiserie china hutch in my dining room. It’s by Drexel and was my mother’s.

In 1976, architects knew what they were doing. This home is built into the hillside like a brick you-know-what, has high ceilings and was built with steel girders. The floor plan is open, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcas-ing the water views. Who loves terrazzo floors? I do! We had them in our home on Melissa Lane and let me

Candace Evans

tell you, easy care, they last far better than limestone, are cool in summer and can be warmed in winter with a rug.

Chapel Hill has 4,900 square feet with three bed-rooms, formals, four and one half baths, one of which is a spacious master with split his and hers baths. I spy some Sherle Wagner. I’m not going to lie — I think the home needs work. The kitchen needs to be ripped out faster than a reality show sea-son.

The home was first built by O. V. Campbell, who owned the Texas Schoolbook Depository, and a whole block of downtown Dallas. He had parties galore here — Frank Sinatra and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and dancing by the lake. The large entry is classically flanked by formals then enters the Great

Room with those dramatic views of the lake. All three bedrooms have lake views; two are on the lower level with full baths. The clos-ets are large, rooms are well proportioned and the square footage is not out of sight.

To me, this location is such a jewel I would totally grab this house and lock in the location, then slowly start the renovation process.

And I’d walk by the lake every day!

Some Saturdays, I would rent a Cessna or a Bonanza to keep up my flying skills from my Air Force days. I had to re-train in small aircraft, having spent the last part of my military career flying the six engine jet bomber, Boeing B-47.

One sunny day in 1961 I

decided to fly over and land at the vacated Amon Carter Field in west Fort Worth. I heard the major airlines had moved back to Love Field with the advent of new jet passenger service for civil-ians. I called the Amon Carter tower and asked for landing and parking instruc-tions. They replied “park anywhere you like.” I soon

got the picture. I parked in number one position, walked into the large, beautiful, empty terminal - and enjoyed a sandwich all by myself. I would soon learn that people in Fort Worth blamed Dallas and Love Field for a series of mistakes and failed efforts to bring international travel to Fort Worth. Here is the story seldom told.

The City of Fort Worth established the Fort Worth Municipal Airport (now Meacham Field) May 23, 1925. The first airmail flight from that airport was flown in 1926 by National Air Transport Company, now known as American Airlines.

As early as 1940, a re-gional airport for the D/FW area was being considered. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approached the City of Arlington, which had cen-trally located land. Arlington was to deed 1,000 acres to the project, and the CAA was to build the landing areas. Construction began in 1942, but a disagreement over which way the terminal building should face ended construction of this Midway Airport in 1943.

In 1946, Fort Worth hired a firm to prepare an airport plan for the city of Fort Worth. Midway Airport again took life, and it was then named Greater Fort Worth International Airport. In 1948, the CAA National Airport Plan recommended that the Greater Fort Worth International Airport be expanded to become a major regional airport.

Fort Worth annexed the site and continued to develop the airport with the sup-port of American Airlines. In 1950, the Fort Worth City

Council renamed the airport Amon Carter Field and the terminal faced Fort Worth to the west.

Amon Carter Field officially opened in April, 1953. The termi-nal was beautiful. By 1958, the new airport was in full swing, but 90 percent of the rid-ers were coming from Dallas, where Love Field was much more convenient. The City of Dallas continued to develop Love Field. Amon Carter changed names again, this time to Greater Southwest International Airport (GSIA), and it was purchased in 1960 by the City of Fort Worth. It was too late. The Texas air traffic numbers show that GSIA declined from 6 percent of the ridership in the state to 1 percent, while Love Field increased from 40 percent to 49 percent.

The result of the de-creased traffic resulted in the abandonment of GSIA. Love Field was now serving American, Braniff, Central, Delta, Eastern and Trans Texas. This was about the time I flew over to GSIA and saw the empty airport.

Finally, in 1972, the GSIA was closed to make way for the REAL new airport, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Dallas and Fort

Worth finally got their act together and built a port in

the sky. In the pro-cess, the Wright Amendment (which was needed at that time) was enacted, limiting the direct flights from Love Field to the adjacent states. This allowed DFW to become the international airport much needed by area travelers. Love

Field was no longer a threat to DFW. I know of no simi-lar restrictions on Meacham Field in Fort Worth.

The restrictions on Love Field will be removed later in 2014. That means the real estate between Love Field and Uptown is really taking off. With many auto dealer-ships centered along Lemmon Avenue and Inwood Road, the growing medical center to the west and the DART northwest corridor expansion, values are heading up. Speculation and new conversions from manu-facturing and warehousing to retail and residential are underway. This is healthy for Dallas and a great real estate opportunity.

LIFE ON THE TRAIL

By Beth [email protected]

Welcome to the last col-umn of a four-part series created to explore perspec-tives on happiness. This series was originally inspired by the United Nations International Day of Happiness March 20, and by Gross National Happiness USA (gnhusa.org) and its promotion of the Pursuit of Happiness Day April 13.

To close this series, I’d like to describe the origin of the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and how it is evolving to be measured in our country.

GNH is a metric the United Nations, the US and many other countries have adopted from Bhutan. When the Kingdom of Bhutan was unified in 1729, its original legal code declared that “if the Government cannot cre-ate happiness for its people, there is no purpose for the Government to exist.” This was the first historical refer-ence to such a concept.

Almost two and a half centuries later, in 1972, the

concept was formalized as a desired metric of progress for the country by the fourth

King of Bhutan. He coined

the phrase “Gross National Happiness” as a measure to give equal importance to non-economic as-pects of well-being. Bhutan began orient-ing its national policy and development plans toward GNH,

and eventually began sur-veying its citizens to deter-mine scores against this new metric.

Bhutan caught global attention for its unique

approach to measuring the progress of its com-munity and nation, and in 2008, Bhutan held the fourth Annual Gross National Happiness Research Conference to share results with the rest of the globe. Sixty-six international guests attended, of which six were from Vermont.

In 2009, those six in-spired attendees established the Vermont-based, non-par-tisan, non-profit organization Gross National Happiness USA (GNHUSA).

According to GNHUSA.org, “GNH is based on the premise that the calculation of ‘wealth’ should consider

other aspects besides eco-nomic development: the pres-ervation of the environment and the quality of life of the people.”

The ideas brought back from Bhutan by this de-termined group have led to a local perspective shift.

In 2012, the Vermont leg-islature passed the “Genuine Progress Indicator” (GPI) bill.

The GPI includes 26 indi-cators – categorized as eco-nomic, environmental, and social – that give a broader picture of the sustainability of growth. The purpose of mea-suring GPI is to supplement the measurements of Gross State Product and Gross

National Product, both which narrowly focus on financial wealth.

Maryland is the one other state that has officially adopted GPI as a metric.

Others are exploring and discussing it, but have made no official commit-ments yet. As it continues to be explored and adopted by more states, GPI can take the spirit of the initial GNH concept to a much more sophisticated and measur-able level in the US. And, in my opinion, we have those original six people in Vermont to thank for start-ing this movement in the US just six short years ago.

Local heroes join forces to Carry The Load

Members of Dallas Fire-Rescue walk in last year's Carry The Load at White Rock Lake.

By Brian Gile

Carry The Load an-nounced today the dates for its 2014 National Relay, which will begin April 29 in West Point, NY, and end with its 20 hour and 14 minute Memorial March in Dallas, during Memorial Day week-end May 25-26.

The vision of Carry The Load is to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day by connecting Americans to the sacrifices of our military, law enforcement, firefighters and rescue personnel, and to sup-port charitable organizations around the country that help them and their families.

“What was meant to be a day of remembering the sac-rifices of our fallen military men and women has become a weekend of sales, barbecues and mini-vacations,” Clint Bruce, co-founder of Carry

The Load, said. “And though it is a wonderful weekend to celebrate family and the free-doms we enjoy as Americans, the true purpose of Carry The Load calls all of us to ‘never forget to remember’ those who made that ultimate sacri-fice for our freedoms.”

This year, Carry The Load will log more than 2,000 miles across the nation with relay points in more than 230 cities.

Carry The Load encour-ages people in communities and towns throughout the route to join the National Relay in an effort to re-member the true meaning of Memorial Day and share “who they are carrying.”

This year’s national nonprofit partners are Team RWB, TAPS, Snowball Express and Heroes on the Water. “Through the efforts of Carry The Load, we are

all able to express our respect and admiration for those who sacrifice for us every day,” Bruce said. “Memorial Day is the perfect time for family members and friends to take time to show their appreciation by participating in the Relay, whether that is walking, biking, run-ning, raising money or just cheering on those walking through your community.”

Visit CarryTheLoad.org to join the National Relay, make a donation or to share your story. The website provides a town-by-town over-view, lists activities planned in local cit-ies and highlights the progress of the cross-country event.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “My mom made two dishes:

Take it or Leave it.”— Stephen Wright, comedian

Recipe of the Week

I absolutely love freshly made salsa. Nothing is quite as authentic as garden-fresh ingredients paired with a crisp tortilla chip. This recipe makes it possible to have it pretty much any time your taste buds need a little spice.

1 handful cilantro leaves (about 1 heaping half-cup)1 onion, roughly chopped3 garlic cloves1 serrano chile, seeded and roughly chopped (or to taste)Juice of 1 lime1 can diced tomatoes, drainedSalt

In a food processor, combine the cilantro, onion, gar-lic, chile and lime juice. Pulse just until chopped. Add the tomatoes and pulse until the tomatoes are finely chopped. Season with salt to taste.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Trinity Hall great for football, not foodBy Sara Newberry

Photo by Sara Newberry

The Bangers and Mash at Trinity Hall

Walking into Trinity Hall is like visiting a house decorated in a style called “generic spinster;” fading flowered wallpaper covers the walls, and all of the furniture is dark wood with muted-color cushions. Frou-frou dishes and cutlery complete the picture.

We managed to arrive for brunch right at the start of a very important English football (soccer) match, so what we’d hoped would be a leisurely Sunday meal turned out to be less leisurely and more nerve-wracking, with a large crowd shouting every few minutes about the game they were watching. (I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, just not what we were necessar-ily in the mood for. If you haven’t watched a match with a bunch of mildly rowdy English people, I highly rec-ommend it; it’s lots of fun and the spectators are almost more interesting than the ac-tion on the pitch.)

Brunch consisted of bangers and mash and corned beef tacos. Both were fine, but not mind-blowing. The bangers (sausages) were per-fectly cooked, with slightly crisp casings that had deli-cious snap when I bit into them. The mashed potatoes alongside were either the smoothest mashed potatoes I’ve ever had or were made from potato flakes. And I missed the mushy peas and HP sauce that are usually present in this meal. Sides of cabbage and mixed vegetables were probably healthier than mushy peas, but I missed them.

My husband loves corned beef and tacos separately, so I knew he would order those as soon as I saw them on

the menu. (And because he ordered them at the North Texas Irish Festival last year.) He appreciates the combina-tion of the briny beef and sweet cabbage accented by the addition of a corn tortilla (it actually works really well). These, though, were oddly bland. Corned beef is usually intensely flavored, but this had almost none. Queso and pico de gallo helped some.

We returned for dinner and took advantage of a glori-ous spring-like evening to sit on the patio. It’s sparse — like one would expect a patio in a shopping center to be — but

because it’s on the second floor, the views are great. This meal was much more relaxed, once the gentleman shouting “ROLL TIDE” over and over left for the evening, presum-ably to go drink somewhere else.

We started with the curry and chips. The chips were perfectly cooked, golden and crisp, but the curry sauce resembled curry only in color: it was a lovely shade of yellow, but the flavor was more like mildly seasoned white gravy.

A French dip sandwich was the most successful plate we tried at Trinity Hall. The sandwich was loaded with sliced beef, grilled peppers and Swiss cheese and the jus served with it was rich and just a little salty (as it should be). Leg of Lamb was fine: the lamb was tasty, but the plate was mostly uninspired: there was no mint flavor in the sauce, and the mixed vegeta-bles didn’t add much interest to the plate.

Service was basically friendly but seemed either stressed or uninterested. On both visits our server

disappeared for extended pe-riods, leaving us with empty glasses or plates waiting for a refill or the check.

Trinity Hall has a huge beer and whiskey selection, and is an ideal place to expe-rience Premier League soccer or sit outside and people-watch while enjoying a bever-age. But I’ll likely head else-where for dinner.Trinity Hall5321 E. Mockingbird LaneOpen daily from 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. (earlier if there is a soccer match)214-887-3600trinityhall.tv

JUST FOUND

For this young entrepreneur, the skyline’s the limit

SOLUTION TO THIS WEEK’S PUzzLE

By David [email protected]

The idea wasn’t an epiphany or even the least bit revolutionary. But 29-year-old Palmer Dean is starting to generate success from a com-bination of hard work, superi-or knowledge of social media, e-commerce and necessity.

The Park Cities native grew up as a typical Park Cities child. He went to University Park Elementary, Highland Park High School and attended the University of Arkansas. Upon returning to Dallas, “I had 25 jobs from 2010 to now,” Dean said. “I even considered joining the military.”

For a while, he had a real job at a staffing and recruiting agency specializing in tech-nology. “We supplied tem-porary candidates. But the market is so hot people were jumping ship and getting hired fulltime.”

His inspiration came at the Katy Trail ... Ice House, not the path. “I was watch-ing all of the patrons wear-ing graphic t-shirts, and I thought, ‘Am I even in Dallas?’” So he sketched the Dallas skyline on his iPhone,

Palmer Dean is the 29-year-old founder of Outline the Sky.

Photos by Can Turkyilmaz

and a light went on in his head brighter than Reunion Tower.

Using the application Penultimate, Dean applied his skyline sketch to a t-shirt and his fledgling company Outline the Sky was born.

“I convinced a manufac-turer to produce two proto-type t-shirts for me,” Dean said. “It probably cost me a hundred bucks.”

Dean started produc-ing t-shirts with a stylized Dallas skyline on them and nothing else. “We have cool

color schemes,” Dean said. No words or logos, no mes-sage on the back, simply a line drawing on the front of the shirt with downtown buildings and landmarks. “I copyrighted and trademarked the line. I promoted through

social media. We have several thou-sand followers. I only sell through e-commerce. Not one bit of advertising.”

Barely a year old, Outline the Sky (www.outli-nethesky.com) will reach a healthy six figures in sales in 2014. “We started with Dallas and now have t-shirts with the skylines of Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and New Orleans. I hope to keep intro-ducing the shirts

five cities at a time.”The images are not exact

replicas of skylines. “It’s our take on skylines,” Dean said.

The t-shirts are made of a wrinkle-free tri-blend fab-ric, keeping them “soft and

comfortable,” Dean said. While shunning obvious

retail outlets like airports, “ ... no margins,” Dean said – all sales to date are through e-commerce. But that is about to change. “We have a deal with Luke’s Locker,” Dean said. “They will have the shirts soon.”

Both the City of Dallas and the Dallas Visitors and Convention Bureau have shown interest, as have Convention and Visitor Bureaus in other cities. Outline the Sky’s corporate headquarters is “ ... a garage near Lovers Lane and Inwood Road,” Dean said.

Printing is still out-sourced, but with the help of some venture capital money

he hopes to have an office soon.

Dean also plans to add a philanthropic component to Outline the Sky. “I had all of these t-shirts in my car. And I was thinking there are people in cities that don’t have shirts. They are sleeping under the skyline.”

So he headed down to Oak Lawn Avenue and I-35, an area heavily concentrated with homeless people. “I started handing out shirts,” Dean said.

“I have some back-end partners,” Dean said, “but right now it is just me day-to-day.” Not bad for a guy with a mile long resume who, while having a beer, decided to reach for the stars.

Turtle Creek Chorale, Uptown Players present “Sweeney Todd”

Following Uptown Theatre and Turtle Creek Chorale’s highly lauded col-laboration last year of the concert version of “Ragtime,” Mark Lowry for Theater Jones said, “ ... it’s a good guess that this will be the first of many co-productions of these two organizations.”

Lowry was correct, as the winning team of Trey Jacobs, Artistic Director of Turtle Creek Chorale (TCC or Chorale) and Michael Serrechia, Director (UP or Uptown) team up again for a concert version of Stephen Sondheim’s thrill-ing, dark and award-winning, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” For this second collaboration, which includes a cast of more than 150 singers and actors, UP and the Chorale will return to the Dallas City Performance Hall Thursday, April 24 through Saturday, April 26.

The chilling Broadway musical thriller garnered nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, Original Score and Book. According to Uptown Theatre’s promotion, “This musical thriller tells the story of Benjamin Barker, aka Sweeney Todd, who returns to London after 15 years of false imprisonment. Aided and abetted by the pie-shop owner, Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney sets out to avenge the wrongs done to him and his family. The haunting sounds of this musical include “No Place like London,” “God that’s Good,” “Joanna” and “Worst Pies in London.”

Jacobs said, “Directing music for this work with UP has been a wonderful

collaboration for two years. There is lots of crossover between Uptown and the Chorale, and UP’s Jeff Rane and Craig Lynch are wonder-ful to work with.” He added, “I love, love, love (Michael Serrecchia’s) direction and the picture he paints.”

Before coming to Dallas, Jacobs spent four years as Assistant Professor and Director of Choral Activities at Eastern Michigan University. While there, his choirs performed at the Michigan American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) convention and for the Michigan Music Educators conference. In July 2011, he was the high school choral conductor for Blue Lake Fine Arts camp in Michigan.

According to Jacobs, “Uptown’s entire cast is ex-ceptional. Brian Mathis as Sweeney has an incredible

voice, and his performance is spot on. Jenny Thurman is hysterical as the immensely talkative, but endearing Mrs. Lovett.” Thurman is espe-cially accomplished for her portrayals of Patsy Cline in a number of productions.

TCC, dressed in concert black, forms the backdrop, while the set is bare bones. UP actors take the stage in full costume, created by the multiple Column Award-winning team of Michael Robinson and Suzi Cranford of The Costume Shop. “We are happy to be working with TCC and UP again after last year’s successful collabora-tion,” Cranford said.

Other recognizable, local cast members include John Campione, Kristen Lassiter, Tom DeWester and Jay Gardner. Susan Riley, Peter DiCesare and Jacob Barnes round out the experienced cast.

The award-winning, 175-voice all male Chorale is in its 34th season with more than 175 volunteer singers and as-sociate members. TCC pres-ents a full concert series at the Meyerson Symphony Center and Dallas City Performance Hall every year, in addition to holding performances around town through community outreach.

In its 13 years, Uptown Players has been the recipient of more than 25 Leon Rabin Awards from the Dallas Theatre League, and count-less nods from The Column awards and the Theatre Critics Forum awards. While entertaining more than 15,000 patrons each year, the company has also been rec-ognized by all of the major Dallas media, earning hon-ors from many including D Magazine, WFAA and the Dallas Voice Readers awards.

Serrecchia earned

Theater World and Drama Desk awards for his work on Broadway during 18 of his 40 years in theater. He appeared in the original Broadway cast of “A Chorus Line” and was also in Broadway’s “Seesaw” and “The Rothchilds.” He appeared in feature films including “Jeremy” and “Annie,” and appeared as a guest on some daytime televi-sion series.

The theater veteran said, “We have an incred-ible cast and we get to tell a great story with a flawless score. Audiences should ex-pect a wonderful evening of Sondheim; 150 voices, an orchestra and a fully-staged story in a wonderful venue.”

For tickets, call (214)526-3214 or visit www.turtlecreek.org for information.

Webber and Rice’s earliest Broadway hits, garnering 10 Tony Awards in 1980 includ-ing Best Musical and Best Actor for Mandy Patinkin and Best Actress for Patti LuPone.

MOVIE TRAILER

No level of suspension of disbelief can save “Transcendence”By Chic [email protected]

As a society, we’ve reached a point where the Internet is indispensable. We need it for work and everyday life. We depend on computers more now than at any point in human history.

“Transcendence” is a movie about the digital age and just how far technology can take us as a society. Can artificial intelligence save the environment? Can it advance medicine to a point where there is no longer disease or famine? These are all interest-ing questions scientists spend lifetimes examining.

Sadly, “Transcendence” fails to approach reflection of these subjects and instead props up several moral and ethical dilemmas without de-livering anything gratifying.

Johnny Depp plays Dr. Will Caster, a brilliant sci-entist who has dedicated his life to creating artificial intelligence that essentially has its own free will. He has partnered with his wife, Evelyn (Rebecca Hall), and best friend, Max Waters (Paul Bettany), on this quest.

In the first in a long line of reality-stretching mo-ments, a terrorist group called RIFT attempts to murder Will (done by a fairly unrec-ognizable Lukas Haas). Will sort of survives the attack, but only in a way that allows him to live for another 30 minutes of movie.

Using a program created by Joseph Tagger (a sleep-walking Morgan Freeman), Evelyn and Max essentially copy Will’s brainwaves into

a large mainframe computer in an attempt to “save” him. Once Will is uploaded and “talking,” he immediately demands an Internet connec-tion (don’t we all?) so he can have more power and access bank records, security agen-cies, etc.

Evelyn, a brilliant scien-tist, goes right along with this idea despite Max’s hesitancy. For someone who seems to be very much into critical think-ing, she tosses all that out the window so she can simply have a computerized version of her husband, regardless of the legitimate dangers it cre-ates. Once RIFT gets wind of this, the anti-technology terrorist group (led by a com-pletely wasted Kate Mara) goes about trying to stop it and attacks Evelyn, abducts Max - and does several things that would upset the NSA.

At this point, “Transcendence” is a decent and smart thriller. Then, things that are impossible to go unnoticed start to happen, such as when Max is abduct-ed by RIFT for several years. It also doesn’t address how Evelyn, led by a fully sentient computer version of Will, gets away with robbing the world blind to fund their massive plans to create the perfect society in the middle of the desert.

“Transcendence” falls apart when it comes time to make ethical choices. Instead of leaving anything up to an audience’s interpretation, this shaky script by Jack Paglen calls in the Marines and it suddenly becomes a Michael Bay movie.

But, the true eye-rolling

moment comes when “Transcendence” has the audacity to suddenly throw in a Freeman voiceover. Anyone who can stay in the movie and not internally mock what they are seeing and hearing is surely not aware of what an Internet meme is.

There is little doubt rookie director and longtime Christopher Nolan cinema-tographer Wally Pfister can

shoot a movie. This movie relies heavily on effects, but they are never in the fore-front, demanding your at-tention. Every single shot is perfect and massive in scope, even during quiet moments when two characters are sim-ply talking.

For the first time in a long time, Johnny Depp isn’t slumming in a role. He’s initially very charming and

quirky (his specialty), but then “Transcendence” wastes all that. He drones on and on about saving people and mak-ing the perfect collective soci-ety, but there isn’t anything to really care about because it’s being done in such a creepy, emotionless way.

Max is the emotional center of the movie, as he is the only character who seems to use the human free will and consciousness that the movie is so obsessed with. Everyone else is on one side of the fence, either against the idea of a computer playing God or for it. Bettany’s Max sees both sides, but knows it can’t swing too far either way.

Not only is Max torn in a moral way, he’s emotionally tied to two people he deeply loves in Will and Evelyn. He really does a fantastic job in a movie that abandons anything that could make an audience care about the

outcome for any of the char-acters involved.

“Transcendence” is a very ambitious movie. It wants to be a thought-pro-voking thriller that makes you question whether or not a perfect, pristine society is worth losing human free will. Unfortunately, it gets lost along the way and ditches any and all logic, making it im-possible to suspend your dis-belief to the degree required.

Essentially, “Transcendence” isn’t thrill-ing enough to ignore all the preposterous moments that rapidly pile up.

A movie doesn’t have to take a stance on the issues it brings up, but it should at least allow an audience to think about it. Instead, “Transcendence” says forget all that and let’s all live in caves because dealing with these dilemmas is just too darn hard.
