Crime stirs the streets in Deep Ellum

BRONWEN ROBERTS

By Ryann Gordon

Dangers still lurk on the streets of revitalized Deep Ellum.

Deep Ellum was once regarded as one of the more dangerous parts of Dallas. But the area’s recent fortification began to seemingly separate it from the

crime-ridden stigma that it was known for. However, since the start of 2019, this revitalized region of the city has started taking a turn back toward the dark past that once characterized the streets

DALLAS ISD TRUSTEE MIGUEL SOLIS, DISTRICT 8

Back to School 2019 It’s time to kick off another great school year with the first day of classes on Monday, Aug. 19!

To help your school year get off to the right start, the district’s Back to School hotline Miguel Solis will be available the entire first week of school at 972-925-KIDS (5437).

Bilingual representatives will be answering questions about transportation, enrollment, school hours, immunizations and more.

Dallas ISD is proud to announce a true game-changer for families across Dallas. Studies have shown that students who attend pre-K achieve at high levels than those who do not. Dallas ISD is now offering scholarships to expand the number of 3- and 4-year-olds eligible to attend pre-K at no cost. The new guidelines are designed to increase opportunity for traditionally underserved communities by making early learning available to more Dallas families. I encourage families to call 214-932-7735 or visit prekdallas. org for additional information and to apply.

org, journalists must endure “Low pay. Stressful work. Terrible schedules.

The modern American journalist has a largely thankless job, but it’s one that nonetheless is crucial to any functioning democracy. Outside of government, the press is the only industry specifically referenced in the Bill of Rights, and throughout our history, many of the worst abuses of power have come to light only after dogged reporters and journalists got involved.”

Well stated. Oklahoma is the best state for a journalist. Lots of tornados and oil leaks to cover, I

guess. Texas is the 27th worst state for journalists and Dallas the 43rd worst market. Ironically, enrollment in major (and very expensive) journalism schools like Columbia, Northwestern and the USC has risen over the past couple of years. “Go Lions and Go Wildcats!”

I never thought I would say “Go Trojans!” but will make an exception in this case. I applaud those who decided to at least study journalism. The skill sets can be used in other professions. Students must have taken enough time from checking their emails to apply online.

The Good Word

Small acts of love

By The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata Rector, Saint Michael and All Angels Recently, a friend of mine, I’ll call her Rachel, was at home preparing for lunch when she heard a knock at her door. When she opened the door, she was greeted by two young teens. They introduced themselves as siblings, a brother and sister team, and smiled warmly.

They said, “We don’t live in the neighborhood, but we wanted to come visit everyone on your street. There have been so many bad things happening recently and we want to remind you that we should not be afraid, that there is still a lot of good in the world.” Then they asked a simple question, “Can we read a passage from the Bible with you?”

Rachel was stunned by their clarity and confidence. She was also struck by their humility. She quickly agreed, and the young people began to read a passage from the 12th chapter of Romans. This passage reminds us not to live as the world lives, but to be renewed in body and mind to know that God is at work through us. After they finished, they said, “God bless you” and left to knock on the next door.

This encounter was so simple, so generous, that Rachel felt like she had received a special gift. Indeed, with all the bad things happening in the world, and with the media constantly reminding us of what should be scary, these two young people had done what is perhaps our highest calling: they have loved their neighbor.

It’s easy for us to think that the problems of the world are so significant that we need to try and solve them all. Most of us are accomplished and able people who seek to be as effective as possible. If people in our community are homeless or hungry, we think we should solve the

problem of poverty, rather than simply feeding one person or helping lift one person up. If we aren’t careful, these painful realities can become problems to solve, Rev. Dr. Girata instead of people to love.

I’m fond of encouraging people to do small things, to celebrate small acts of kindness. When we do small things with big love, our impact ripples well beyond ourselves. Sometimes these small acts feel ineffective or insufficient, but, as my grandmother used to say, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!”

The two young people who walked from door to door through Rachel’s neighborhood did not cure the problem of violence or solve poverty. But in that moment, they changed Rachel for the good. And because of their gift, you are reading their story. Perhaps their small act of love will cause a ripple that changes you, too.

As much of the world begins to swing back into a new school year, perhaps this is an opportunity to start fresh with new habits. When you see something scary, respond with hope. When you witness someone being hurt, respond with love.

And when the people around you feel lost, remember that “there is still a lot of good in the world,” so be part of the good you hope for.

The Rev. Dr. Chris Girata was called to be the eighth Rector of Saint Michael and All Angels in Dallas and started his ministry at Saint Michael on Aug. 15, 2016. Chris is a native of Florida, a classically trained musician and an amateur cook. He and his wife, Nicole, have three children.

OPINION

Is TSA PreCheck worth it? (Sort of)

By Joe Ruzicka joe.c.ruzicka@gmail.com Air travel has really become a pain over the last 25 years.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, U.S. airlines carried more than 75.2 million passengers in January 2019 alone.

Contrast that with only 25 million per month in 1985 and it is apparent more Americans are f lying more frequently. Increased humanity causes more angst and more problems. Air travel is no exception.

I experienced this frustration last Friday because frankly, it felt like all 75 million January air travelers had scheduled a second trip with me at DFW Airport.

After my Uber ride

slowly and painfully passed three separate wrecks on the way to the airport (traffic congestion being a separate but related issue), I fought my way through the airport crowds to check a bag. Large families with small children were crowded among slow moving older couples and fast-paced business travelers. It was a hodgepodge of people to get through and the first of many lines that day.

Then came the dreaded airport screening process. The length of the security line along with it moving at a snail’s pace could leave even Mr. Peppermint dejected and frustrated.

Prior to Sept. 11, 2001, only contract agencies provided airport screening services. After

9/11, Congress federalized airport security by passing the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, which created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Adding this federal agency has transformed Joe the way we are processed through airport security screenings.

If you have f lown at all in the last few years, I am sure you know the drill. Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols that must be 3.4 ounces or less. All electronics larger than a cellphone must be removed from carry-ons for screening. Full on body

Your Stars this Week

by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to unfold in such a way that many if not all individuals are invited — or, in some cases — compelled — to get back to basics and explore their roots, whether personally, professionally or with regard to a certain project or responsibility. The understanding of motive is paramount at this time; if that all-important question “why” has not been answered yet, this is the week to do so! Some may choose to compare their situations and circumstances to those of others whose lives intersect with their own; some may decide that such comparisons are unnecessary.

Many will find themselves grappling with what may be called “historical perspectives” this week.

Significant events from the past have certainly shaped the lives of all, and many will want to explore their own connections with those who have gone before. It should be clear to all, by week’s end, that no one really has to “go it alone” — especially at this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be surprised to learn that you have much more in common with a rival than you had supposed.

You can learn much from each other, if you allow it. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may have to rethink your modus operandi for the week.

What worked for you in the past may not yield the same results at this time. An expert opinion proves confusing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may want to be a little more

diligent than usual this week when it comes to your own financial planning — and that of a friend or loved one. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You are best to make a “trial run” of sorts before betting everything on getting a job done that is new and unfamiliar. Someone meets you in the middle very soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) The simplest of adjustments made as the week opens yields maximum reward later on. You must have everything running efficiently to receive maximum payout.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Take care that you don’t lose touch with someone who has been in your orbit for some time. Communication doesn’t have to be complicated, but you don’t want to shut it down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Cooperation begins at an unexpected source, but it will allow you to achieve more this week than you had planned. Team-building proves quite rewarding. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You’re looking for firm answers, but they aren’t likely to be available to you this week. This means, of course, that you’re going to have to use guesswork much of the time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You should be able to cut through all kinds of bureaucratic red tape that has been slowing you down of late — but some rules and regulations still apply. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You’re eager to get back to where you belong, but the journey promises to be a long one. Undaunted,

you can begin making preparations and perhaps get started very soon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You cannot keep things from going wrong this week; it’s going to happen — even, perhaps, on your watch. But you don’t have to react in expected ways. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Are you ready to implement the changes that you have arranged?

Now is the time — and if you procrastinate, you’re likely to render the changes ineffectual overall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may be the only one to notice that something you are a part of is not going according to plan.

A quick adjustment can reverse any negative trends. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may be the only one in a position to do what has to be done — though it’s not likely to be the most enjoyable of endeavors. You’ll receive much thanks, however.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You are expecting much this week — perhaps too much. A realistic outlook keeps disappointment at bay and allows you to determine what must be done. (March 6-March 20) – Someone who has been your “safety valve” in the past isn’t able to protect you as expected this week. A reversal of roles has you doing more to ensure steady progress.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You can stand witness for someone who is in quite a predicament.

scanners are the norm, not just metal detectors.

And shoes, belts and other metal objects must be removed prior to screening. It’s a long process that takes up time and only adds confusion if you are an infrequent traveler.

The course of the week is altered when you step out of your comfort zone. (April 5-April 19) – Helping another through a difficult endeavor teaches you much about what is possible and what is not. This will be important knowledge to have as the week comes to a close.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may find yourself in more of a hurry this week than usual — and the situation isn’t likely to be a comfortable one. A friend steps in just in time. (May 6-May 20) – You’ll be able to contribute to a team effort in ways that no one may have expected — except you, of course. You know quite well what you’re capable of — and how valuable it is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) A period of abundance may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean you have to go without.

Indeed, you can credit your cautious nature for your success. (June 7-June 20) – You don’t want others to have to muddle through without the knowledge you have — but sharing it with them will take time and could slow you down.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) Your interaction with someone early in the week must not be allowed to color your entire outlook.

You can get over one negative episode very quickly. (July 8-July 22) – You may be able to score an impressive personal victory this week. Those around you want to know how you do it — but it’s not something you are ready to share.

Schooltime will shift priorities

By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Where did it all go? The summer, I mean. It seems like we just picked up the kids running toward the car, smiling from ear-to-ear and anticipating a long summer of travel and play. And then it happened.

Stephan Sardone The school bell rang.

It seems like you were just preparing the house for a long summer by building outdoor equipment, cleaning off the patio furniture, tuning up the barbeque to prepare for peak performance and spending little time looking at the calendar. Well, it is too late. It is back-to-school time.

Luckily, some of the work that you did around the home to prepare for the summer can be modified to make backto-school time a smooth transition. The key these days are planning and preparation.

Back in the old days, someone may have been around the house to finish up after the kids have hopped on the school bus. Those days are long gone. Parents may be in just as much of a hurry as the children. Once unheard of, chances are everyone heads out the door at the same time.

That is what makes planning so critical.

Now, most of these home improvements are not really improvements as much as necessities. They may require nothing more than tools you already have around the house like a hammer, screwdriver, measuring tape and plane. And small, out-of-the-way areas like closets and mudrooms now take on new functions.

First, it is time to declutter. Stow all outdoor toys and pool gear away for the winter. You may have acquired some items that you just don’t need. Toss them. It actually will get you in the right mindset that school is back.

A mudroom can be a Godsend. Set up personalized shelving for backpacks and distribute them just before bed. That chore can be passed off throughout the family, but here is betting that you will be the champion backpack packer.

Build a wipe-off marker calendar for the mudroom.

Track everything that is going on from tests to practices to meetings to doctor’s appointments. List the bus schedule on the calendar as well. The more senior the student, the better the chances are that they will be staying afterschool for extracurricular activities. Know when the final bus leaves.

This can also serve as a storage room for extra supplies as well.

Turn the kitchen into an assembly line. Make sure that food and utensils are as efficiently placed as possible, especially if you stock lunch boxes or bags in the morning.

But anything that is cooked should be prepared the night before.

Dedicate a shelf in the refrigerator to healthy snacks for the kids when they come home. It will provide you peace of mind and won’t ruin their dinner if they snack wisely. Fresh fruits and vegetables are optimum.

Like the kitchen, the bathroom should be laid out in an efficient manner. Set up everything to be used in order.

Remember, probably like you, they will be sleepwalking through the process so soap, washcloth, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste and comb or brush is a nice order to consider. And don’t worry about tidiness. While cleanliness is of the utmost importance, no one is going to see the bathroom unless you plan on having guests at 7 a.m. on a Thursday morning.

Follow a schedule and it will become a routine and one less thing to be concerned with, like will I have that second cup of coffee.

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com There is nothing grander or more romantic than a classic Italian Renaissance villa. You can try and argue with me, but you won’t change my mind.

Ever.

You see, I had the great good fortune years ago to spend time in Tuscany at Villa Vignamaggio.

Director Kenneth Branagh chose it as the location for his British/American romantic film based on Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” Being an American married to a Brit at the time, well, it was kismet. So, my heart will always have a soft spot for classic Italian Renaissance villas. And this one is much ado about everything!

A home-run team. That is primarily due to the talents of two people. The first is builder Tony Visconti, owner and president of Bella Custom Homes, a CandysDirt.com approved builder. If anyone understands how to build a grand home, it’s Visconti, because luxury homebuilding is in his blood. As a third-generation home builder, he’s the go-to guy for quality construction, attention to detail and architectural authenticity.

That’s where architect Lloyd Lumpkins comes in. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone in North America with a greater understanding of the importance of architectural authenticity. It’s easy to see when you pair Visconti and Lumpkin, you get a home run every single time. Such is the case with this acre in Preston Hollow.

A grand entrance. There is a level of expectation in the creation of a multimillion-dollar home.

A giant white box is not going to cut it when you are trying to appeal to the movers and shakers of the world. They expect grandeur, and this classic Italian Renaissance villa delivers on every level.

I have included some photos of the home before it was furnished, which I’m generally loathed to do as a stager, but there’s a reason.

Personal taste can often distract from great architectural bones. They need to be seen to truly appreciate the design.

During the Renaissance, architects emphasized symmetry, proportion and geometry. These elements are clearly seen in this classic Italian Renaissance villa. Visconti and Lumpkins established a quiet sense of grandeur upon entering the home with an intricate domed foyer and a marvelous spiral staircase. Groin- and barrel-vaulted ceilings in the formal areas segue into coffered, beamed and timbered ceilings in the family spaces, creating a more casual farmhouse aesthetic.

Combining classical with modern. The challenge of creating a classic Italian Renaissance villa today is in adhering to the strong classical elements while affording the modern components necessary for family living. When these are executed well, as they are here, you can easily understand the inherent value. In other words, you get what you pay for — always.

This classic Italian Renaissance villa was uniquely successful in fulfilling both the classic traditions that create a timeless home and the present-day needs of the client. We know that to be true as this beautiful property was the home of Marvin and Sharyn Ellison. Marvin, you may recall, was

MULL IT OVER

Rangers need to flip the page

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com The Texas Rangers are a long way from making the cover of Sports Illustrated like the instate rival Houston Astros did five years ago. The Rangers zig when they should zag, should be getting younger but get older and have a bleak future living in the vicinity of the spry American League West.

It is as if the Rangers live in a rundown part of town and the rest of their neighbors live in a shiny high-rise. Oh sure, there are some things to like, especially brought on by maturity, but they have a lot of upgrading to do to improve and get up to the competitive standard of the rest of the neighborhood. And that is despite a brand new stadium in Arlington opening in 2020.

While the old home is still quite livable, we all know that there are some heating and air conditioning issues.

Dated June 24, 2014, Sports Illustrated famously produced a cover with the headline about

the Astros that read, “YOUR 2017 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS.” The cover was the laughing stock of the sports world. The Astros had just finished the regular season 60 games under .500 in 2013 and 22 games under .500 in 2014.

“When you’re in 2017, you don’t really care that much about whether you lost 98 or 107 in 2012,” said former Houston G.M. Sig Luhnow back in 2014. “You care about how close you are to winning a championship in 2017.”

The Astros won the World Series in 2017.

The Rangers were a veteran club but formidable, the Oakland A’s and Seattle Mariners were young and competitive and the Los Angeles Angels had a reliable Albert Pujols and a one-of-a-kind player in Mike Trout.

But the Astros started rebuilding with youth (and sprinkled in a few veterans) and knew that they had to gut the team all the way down to the foundation and rebuild if they were going to compete. They had the 2015 Rookie of the Year, shortstop Carlos Correa. They drafted Jose

Altuve, who became the 2017 American League MVP. They signed versatile infielder Alex Bregman, an All-Star at just 25, when the Boston Red Sox could not come to terms with him. They got lead-off hitter and centerfielder George Springer.

They made a last minute trade for ace starting pitcher Justin Verlander in 2017. They declined to sign their No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft, high school lefthander Brady Aiken. That was a good decision, as he has never pitched above Class-A. Today, the Astros are on the way to another World Series title and another magazine cover.

They added starting pitcher Gerrit Cole in 2018 and picked up ace Zack Greinke at the 2019 trading deadline. As if their lineup wasn’t enough, they now have a three-headed monster for the playoffs as they are running away with the American League West crown for the third consecutive year.

The Rangers did just the opposite of the Astros this year.

They hoped that older arms like

ENVIRONMENT

Cameron Maybin and George Springer of the Houston Astros celebrate after winning the team's first World Series title in 2017.

Mike Minor (31) and Lance Lynn (32) and closer Shawn Kelley (36) could find the Fountain of Youth. They have. Offseason non-roster DH Hunter Pence (36) made the All-Star team.

They still have Shin-Soo Choo (36). Looking for another hitter, the Rangers picked up Danny Santana after the season began and he has been their best hitter. But the youth, unlike their neighbors to the south, has disappointed. Twenty-four-year-olds Ronald Guzman, Rougned Odor and Nomar Mazara have been

given a chance to shine and are flawed. Joey Gallo (25), one of the futures of the franchise, is hurt.

The Rangers should look down (to Houston) before they look up.

The Houston Astros are amping up for a playoff run that could make them World Champions for the second time in three years.

For the Rangers, they look to playing out their final month of baseball at Globe Life Park trying to finish at .500. That won’t get a team on the cover of any magazine unless there is one called Mediocrity Today.

Future of recycling is not dead

By Karen Fleig “This didn’t happen overnight. China didn’t wake up and say, ‘We’re not taking your material anymore. Get out of here.’ And then boom, recycling was in crisis.

This has happened with a series of events over time.” – Alita Kane, the Recycling Partnership If you follow environmental news, you’ve possibly read opinion pieces that state recycling is past its prime as a valuable eco tool or even dead as a means to a better future for the planet. At the EarthX 2019 Expo during a discussion titled, “The Future of Recycling,” panelist Alita Kane, community liaison for the Recycling Partnership, said in order to think about the future, people need to think about the present.

Several developments led to the current attitude toward recycling according to Kane, including a move to a single recycling cart rather than sortable bins for consumers without the necessary education on what should go into that cart, as well as a move toward plastic packaging that isn’t as easy to recycle.

Both of these caused more contamination — items in the cart that shouldn’t be there — which made recycling less efficient.

But the single most important change impacting the future of recycling is China no longer taking waste from the U.S. to recycle. For the last 25 years the U.S. has shipped its recycling to China. That ended in March 2018 and China is holding firm to ending importing all recycling by 2020.

Technology to the rescue. Plastics are a real recycling challenge, but technological innovation in chemical and solvent-based recycling, which is already happening in Europe and the U.S., is meeting that challenge.

The traditional process

Kia’s Niro EV is what to drive

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net

EARTHX

when recycling plastics is taking what Jordan Fengel with the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling and a self-described recycling “futurist,” described as an “urban landfill item” and pelletizing that material to then undergo further processing for it to become useful in manufacturing once again.

With chemical recycling, the plastics go into a heated process and the outcome is a fuel wax with virgin-like quality for manufacturers.

Solvent-based recycling breaks plastics down to the molecular level creating a virgin-quality end product. During the process, polyethylene terephthalate plastics go into a green chemical bath and come out broken down into usable raw material.

Inks and plasticizers are separated out and every element in the original material is returned to its original state.

Chemical and solvent recycling can also help solve the polystyrene (Styrofoam) recycling issue.

There are also major advancements in metal recycling according to Jason Avery, vice president of the western division, EMR USA. The big change is the size of the material coming out of the processing residue. Just seven years ago anything smaller than 3/4 inch in the residue went to the landfill. Today that is down to less than one millimeter meaning more of every car, appliance or other metal sent for recycling processing is being reused rather than sent to the landfill.

Robots and AI.

Fengel also sees robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) as game changers in the future of recycling.

Right now some facilities are using robots to sort and pick items off a line rather than people.

And by applying AI and deep learning, the robots are able to improve performance.

What this achieves is recycling processors can better utilize the human workforce, such as sending them into the field to teach people about the recycling process, operations at the facility become smoother and better at sorting materials, and contamination is reduced. This means the material that gets to processers is clean and doesn’t require additional sorting.

“The future of robotics is going to go hand in hand with material circulation and recovery and also processing,” Fengel said about the AI and robot-driven future of recycling.

What do all these developments mean in the big picture? The final major change in recycling today is innovation, along with the move by China to end its importing recycling, has led to a boom in development in U.S. recycling from both domestic and foreign investment.

The future of recycling is full of tech innovation and promise … and robots.

Initially introduced in but one conventional hybrid flavor, Kia’s Niro has morphed into a triple play, continuing with the conventional hybrid, adding a plug-in variant with roughly 50 miles of all-electric capability, and most recently offering a full-tilt EV. The Niro EV, our test subject, gives some 250 miles of all-electric range, along with gee-whiz faster charging — if, of course, you have a charger capable of fast charging. (I had a 110 outlet — and it would have taken 30+ hours to bring the battery from 50 percent to a 100 percent charge.

Even in this Congress, legislation can move faster.)

Described by Kia as an EV crossover, I see it as a compact hatch with a slightly higher ride height than you’ll find in Hyundai’s Elantra GT or VW’s Golf. The sheet metal’s aero bonafides are there, but this isn’t the slippery sculpting seen on the Model 3; rather, I’d liken it to a bar of soap after a few days of scrubbing. It’s still a bar of soap, but the edges are softened, and — of course — slippery in its own way.

The Niro design isn’t, by any stretch, muscular, but neither does it recede into anonymity. Like most Kias, there’s a lot of ‘Euro’ in its design, which translates into clean sheet metal without a trace of what is all-too-often ‘of the moment’ detailing.

This is design you could buy now and still feel good about 10 years from now.

Inside, the goodness continues. In our EX Premium trim the seats feature perforated leather, and are both heated and cooled. For those of you that care, the Premium provides an 8-inch touch screen, while those opting to save $5,500 with the EX trim will make do with cloth/ vinyl seats and a 7-inch touch screen. But in either trim, know the plastics seem appropriate to a $40K investment — before Federal and state tax credits — and front

and rear seats will comfortably accommodate four Americans.

Of course, when considering a Niro EV, remember that it is one of three Niros available. Before the launch of the EV I thought the plug-in hit the sweet spot, with 50 miles per gallon from the gas power train, roughly 50 miles of electric-only range and a transaction price — again after the applicable tax credits — comfortably under $30K. There’s no range anxiety if taking a weekend trip, and no carbon footprint when conducting the daily commute.

There are, however, those of you that never want to see a gas station (other than to buy a Pepsi) ever again. And for those, the Niro EV offers 201 horsepower, a prodigious 291 lb.-ft. of torque, and roughly 250 miles of all-electric range. It is, using a last-century descriptive for a very this-century presentation, the shizzle. Virtually all electric vehicles in 2019 go about their business in a composed, capable way, but there’s something almost Germanic in how the Niro EV handles the daily grind; in short, it ain’t a grind.

While Kia claims a zero to 62 m.p.h. time of 7.8 seconds, it seems faster than that, and comes across as effortless. At highway speeds the over-the-road impression is totally serene, with its supportive seating enhanced by a composed, compliant ride. Admittedly, if you want a true cut-and-thrust capability, spend your $40K on a Golf R. But the Niro EV, helped in no small part with a center of gravity lower than political rhetoric, handles virtually any traffic situation with real alacrity.

If relying solely on the math, we’ll still vote for a Niro plug-in hybrid. But the appeal of all-electric transport is strong. If you’re getting sucked in, find yourself a Kia dealer … and drive both.

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood Some of the easiest movie jokes involve making young kids curse. Even “Avengers Endgame” did it with a cleverly placed s-bomb. For 90 minutes, that gag is the main thrust of “Good Boys.” However,

the movie lives up to its title as nearly all the debauchery is done by three 11-year old boys who absolutely suck at being bad.

That is the beauty of “Good Boys,” an extremely hard R-rated raunch-fest produced by the same folks (namely Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg) behind

“Superbad,” “Sausage Party,” and “Neighbors.”

The young trio gets into crazier and crazier antics while remaining firmly rooted in childhood innocence that is quite charming.

The self-titled “Beanbag Boys” are the more mature Max (Jacob

Trembley), aspiring singer and wannabe tough guy Thor (Brady Noon), and the sweet, pure-at-heart Lucas (Keith L. Williams). Max’s crush on Brixlee (Millie Davis) puts an impetus on the three of them attending a “kissing party” at a super cool kid’s house and their 48-hour adventure begins after hilariously investigating how to kiss.

Their follies include a bike trip to the mall, a stolen $600 drone, fighting fraternity guys, and a neighborhood standoff with two high school girls, Hannah (Molly Gordon) and Lily (Midori Francis).

There are a few subplots that involve divorce and the desire to fit in which effectively keep the movie from being completely one-note.

Tremblay excels as the gang’s default ringleader and he’s an extremely convincing actor for his age.

Noon features in a very zany standout moment involving a far too adult

stage production and his singing voice is actually a great element of the movie.

Williams completely steals nearly every second that he’s on screen with his over-the-top childhood honesty and fear of drugs, strangers, and, well, pretty much everything.

There are a handful of cameos that pump up the Q-factor, with Will Forte as Max’s dad being the highlight. Sam Richardson portrays a beaten, tired police officer that encounters the kids and it’s potentially the funniest scene of the flick.

The knock on “Good Boys” is the direction from first timer Gene Stupnitsky, who also cowrote the script with Lee Eisenberg. The pair were longtime writers for the American version of “The Office” and the editing and camerawork is very similar to standard single camera sitcom fare. There are a handful of scenes that simply show one kid speak their lines then cut

to the reply and repeat. It does take you out of the moment repeatedly, particularly when the story turns melancholy.

That melancholy is what separates “Good Boys” from becoming a silly, pointless comedy.

Throughout the movie, it’s clear that each of these best friends are maturing at different rates and their interests are pulling them apart. Thankfully, there’s no big emotional catharsis and it keeps “Good Boys” from getting too corny.

Considering “Good Boys” is really, really R-Rated and most 11-year olds won’t be seeing the movie, it needs that extra emotional kick for adults.

That nostalgic feeling and the gags that land overshadow the lulls and jokes that fall flat. This movie is destined to become a cult classic, beloved by current 11-year olds in about seven years once they are old enough to see it and embrace it.

Remodeled ‘BH90210’ addresses past and still delivers

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net The address is CBS for the most success with TV reboots.

The most famous address of all, though, belongs to Fox. And its six-episode “event series” reboot of “Beverly Hills, 90210” – shortened to “BH90210” – for the most part makes for a surprisingly satisfying time travel to the current “heightened” lives of seven original cast members. (Charter co-star Luke Perry, who also had agreed to take part when his duties on The CW’s “Riverdale” allowed, died in March of this year.

He’s fondly remembered in the closing moments of the premiere episode, which is readily available via On Demand or other “platforms.” The series otherwise airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m.)

Fox’s original “90210” ran for a decade from 1990 to 2000 before The CW network took another dip with “90210,” which lasted from 2008 to 2013. Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty made cameo appearances in that one, but the series centered on a new generation of teens.

In “BH90210,” though, the surviving principals are all in, with Doherty (the last to commit) so far much less seen in the first two episodes. The hook is a 30th anniversary Vegas reunion that ends up being both a disaster and a catalyst. It’s also a springboard for what’s to come, with Spelling and Garth plotting to pull off a “90210” reboot (just as they did in real life) while their fellow cast members initially blow them off.

FOX

The cast of BH90210, reboot of “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

Spelling in particular picks up the mantle of her late father, Dallasbred Aaron Spelling, who created “90210” and a bushel basket of other hit TV series. “No one stopped my dad,” she says of his doggedness in bringing his ideas to TV screens.

In their “heightened” modes, here’s what’s up since the original series wrapped.

• Tori Spelling (Donna Martin on the original “90210”) is a mother of six children who’s married to a semi-slacker named Nate (Ivan Sergei). Their “Spelling the Beans” series has just been canceled, and they’re up against it financially. Spelling and her real-life husband, Dean McDermott, are parents of five kids and have co-starred as themselves in two “reality” series.

• Jason Priestly (Brandon Walsh) is a director married to a publicist who yearns to start a family.

The real Priestly also has directed, but has two children with

his wife, a makeup artist.

• Jennie Garth (Kelly Taylor) is divorced twice and going through a third. Her headstrong daughter, Kyler (Karis Cameron), yearns to be an actress, which Garth emphatically doesn’t want for her. In real life, Garth has three children and is twice-divorced.

• Ian Ziering (Steve Sanders) is married to a career-obsessed blonde bombshell who’s lately auditioning for a role on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” He’s more intent on hawking his own brand of products. The real-life Ziering achieved major success with the cheesy series of “Sharknado” movies. After contentiously divorcing a former Playboy model, he remarried and is the father of two children.

• Gabrielle Carteris (Andrea Zuckerman) is newly a grandma and president of the Actors Guild of America. She’s also searching for her true sexual

identity. In real life, Carteris is president of the merged Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. She’s been married to a stockbroker since 1992, and they have two children.

• Brian Austin Green (David Silver) is mainly a house husband married to a star hip-hop artist known as Shay (La La Anthony). They have three children. The real Green married actress Megan Fox in 2010.

They separated but later reconciled, and have three sons together.

• Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh) is involved in animal rescue efforts and long estranged from the rest of her “90210” mates. In real life, the controversial Doherty, who’s likewise an animal activist, regularly feuded with the show’s co-stars before leaving after four seasons.

The original series lacked diversity and inclusion in times when there were few complainers. Fox’s reboot addresses this with both Green’s marriage to an African-American singing star and Carteris’ determination to doubly explore her sexuality as herself and as the rebooted Andrea Zuckerman.

There also are some unfortunate subplots, particularly the inclusion of a nameless young white male stalker whose obsession with Green in particular leads him to seriously creep out the rest of the cast. Filming on “90210” was completed shortly before the mass murders in El Paso and Dayton,

Ohio, with disaffected, hate-filled young white males allegedly triggering the assault weapons.

“90210” obviously didn’t intend in any way to be a reminder of these heinous actions. But alas, here we are.

Otherwise the real revelation is Tori Spelling, who stands out among the ensemble as funny, free-spirited and even a bit poignant at times. If anyone carries this show through its first two episodes, she’s the one.

Carteris is also a standout in terms of vulnerabilities and feelings that weren’t allowed to be anywhere near fully expressed in the original “90210.” And Priestly is vividly in this mix as a vainglorious approximation of his real self and a co-conspirator in the first episode’s rather daring hookup.

“Maybe going back is just what we all need to move forward,” Tori tells Jennie of her aggressive plans to make a reboot a reality.

That’s a grand simplification, but also more than a good enough rationale to make “BH90210” TV’s latest born again entity. It’s been a dreary summer of mostly junky new broadcast network fare, led by CBS’ “Love Island.” There’s nothing technically new under the sun with “BH90210.” But it nonetheless feels that way via this fresh approach to what easily could have been a very wrong address.

Hard-to-find Terracotta Warriors worth visit

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com In my opinion, if the Terracotta Warriors were easier to get to, they would be an even more popular Chinese attraction than the Great Wall. For those unfamiliar, Terracotta Warriors are a vast unearthed tomb with thousands of sculptures and now a sprawling museum. The Great Wall and Tiananmen Square are both in Beijing, the most frequently visited city in China.

The Terracotta Warriors, a World Heritage Site, are one-hour outside the City of Xi’an, a two-hour plane ride from Beijing. The Warriors site has been developed by the Chinese tourism

authorities into a huge tourist park-like area that could easily keep a captive tourist busy for more than a day.

Most visit for a few hours, enough to exhaust an avid tourist.

Terracotta is the English name for the area, designated such from the Italian for the type of clay sculpture found here. The official Chinese name is the Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum.

Visitors are required to park in an offsite lot and are taken into the museum area by a large trolley.

Upon arriving at the entry point to the museum, your first task, if you are not part of a group, is to negotiate the long lines to buy

tickets.

The first Chinese Emperor, Qin (pronounced “Shin”) united the Chinese under one umbrella government which he controlled, but he died in 210 B.C. A mound of dirt near the museum is Qin’s tomb.

Historians believe he is buried in his palace with priceless treasures, but no plans for excavation exist. In 1974, a farmer in the surrounding land was digging a well when he discovered the museum site, which has since been partially excavated.

Qin, as it turns out, wanted to maintain his lifestyle after death, so he ordered clay soldiers to stand guard TRAVEL cont'd on page 9

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

HERO tries to be super among sports bars

recipe of the week Fruit dish bowls one over

HERO

Braised Bone-In Beef Short Rib (left) and the Remedy Burger (right).

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com The game is afoot every day at HERO by HG Sply Co., a sports bar on steroids, with seats for 1,100 butts.

That includes the main dining room for 540 and the indoor/outdoor area with a 24-foot screen for game watching by another 560. The 8,500 square feet of open-air space is climate controlled, so you won’t fry or freeze. Not to worry, there are TVs everywhere in the total 25,000 square feet. You can’t miss the action.

Even the food has a sports connection. HERO is in South Victory, the southern

part of Victory Park near the American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and the Stars. HERO, the big sister concept of HG Sply Co., caters all practices for the Dallas Stars. Chef Danyele McPherson, culinary director, explained, “Working with the Stars, we have adapted the HG menu philosophy to work for the needs of professional athletes. This means continued focus on fresh and natural foods, but with the addition of more starch-based carbohydrates through rice, pasta and potato-based menu options. The food at HERO is fun, fresh and, just like HG, offers plenty of choices for all diners’ lifestyles.”

The menu is large enough to complement the size of the venue. On a recent hosted tasting visit, we got to sample some of the options.

Typical for a sports bar, there are lots of hand-to-mouth, shareable dishes. A dish of Smoky Carrot Hummus, in a beautiful Hook ‘em burnt orange hue with a plateful of multi-colored fresh veggies; green and purple broccoli, yellow and orange sweet peppers, carrots and cucumbers along with toasted pita wedges, looks like a centerpiece and eats like fun.

It is easy to nullify that lean, clean starter with a marvelous plate of hand-breaded, fried mozzarella sticks or a ramekin of Crab Rangoon Dip, hot out-of-the-oven, cream cheesy shellfish spread for fried wonton chips. At the other extreme: minimalist, pristine Tuna Crudo, five pinwheels of raw tuna garnished with grapefruit, Fresno chile, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lemon and extra virgin olive oil. These dishes are from the appetizer section.

There are also side and entrée salads; build-yourown-bowl ingredients for infinite personalized combinations; burgers including The Remedy, popularized by the sibling restaurant of the same name (now closed); chicken wings; hero sandwiches; tacos; as well as some down-home (i.e. chicken and dumplings) and fancy entrées, such as braised beef short rib, grilled steaks and salmon.

That’s a lot of menu to digest.

Our host selected for us a proper dinner of grilled

around his burial palace in vaults that were covered by a roof supported by wooden beams.

Five years after Qin’s death, the wooden beams were set ablaze, caving in the ground on top of the clay soldiers, mostly destroying them. But the earth that buried the soldiers also preserved them. So, when they were discovered in 1974, archeologists set about putting the vast pieces together as in a huge jigsaw puzzle. To this day, an area 200 by 700 feet has been uncovered, but no one knows how much more

salmon with roasted Brussels and an herb salad that popped with snappy Honeycrisp apple slices and candied pecans. He also sent us tacos filled with hunks of white fish classically seasoned with Old Bay and tartar sauce, a more typical sports bar offering. On the side: couldn’t-stop-eating tater tots flecked with black pepper. At HERO, you may dine or chow down.

I haven’t yet mentioned the cocktails. As expected, there is much from which to choose, starting with handcrafted cocktails, lots of beers and wine. Frozen options include amusing Froze, a pink slush of rose, vodka, strawberries, peach puree, grapefruit and lemon juices.

A tantalizing Berry Diablo with tequila, a smooth blend of mixed berries, ginger, lime and soda won the cocktail sweepstakes at our tasting.

The refreshing and lovely Cucumber Collins was a close contender.

For dessert, we were given a trio of cookie – oatmeal, Oreo and chocolate chip – ice cream sandwiches. Hard to choose. Try them all and share.

HERO is an indoor, Dallas version of Times Square with lots of seating and without cartoon costumed characters with outstretched palms or the Naked Cowboy. It is high energy. Come ready to be part of the action.

The Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl.

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Popular Dallas chef Danyele McPherson shared this recipe for the Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl. She’s culinary director for 80/20 Hospitality, parent company of HG Sply Co., HERO and Standard Service.

She offers these tips for the recipe: Use frozen fruit.

Serve in frozen bowls.

The recipe calls for blending dragon fruit, mango, banana, coconut milk and pineapple juice. Toppings include sliced kiwi and banana, toasted coconut, almonds, chia and hemp seeds.

Make it your own by substituting any frozen fruit. Feel free to play with the toppings as you like.

CHEF DANY’S DRAGON FRUIT SMOOTHIE BOWL 1/3 cup frozen mango 1/3 cup frozen dragon fruit 1/3 cup ripe banana, sliced 1/4-inch thick 1/4 cup coconut milk 1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice 1 tablespoon toasted dried coconut 1 teaspoon toasted hemp seeds 1/2 teaspoon toasted chia seeds 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds 1/4 ripe banana, sliced 1/8-inch thick 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick In a blender jar, combine mango, dragon fruit and 1/3 cup sliced banana.

Add the coconut milk and pineapple juice.

Blend on high speed until completely smooth, scraping sides as needed.

Place smoothie mix in a frozen bowl.

Sprinkle the coconut, hemp, chia and almonds in a diagonal line. Shingle the 1/4 sliced banana and kiwi in lines on top of nuts and seeds.

Makes 1 serving.

there is. Once uncovered, the clay figures which were painted in bright colors began to fade. Until a preservation method is developed to stop this decay process, China has decided to stop further exploration as colors remain in tact until exposed to oxygen.

What has been unearthed and pieced together is thousands of lifesize soldiers, each with a different face and finely detailed clothing, arranged according to rank as they would be for battle — cavalrymen, archers, infantry, charioteers, officers — with clay horses and weapons included. Most are standing, but some are kneeling. They stand

mostly in straight lines almost as far as the eye can see. Some of the officers are conferring in meetings.

The museum includes three buildings. The main one has 6,000 warriors, with 1,000 completely restored. Two bronze chariots with ornate gold and silver ornamentation that were unearthed are on display in an exhibition hall along with other specimens of pottery, jewelry and carvings.

A short distance from the museum at a nearby factory, you can learn how the clay figures were made in ancient times, and reproductions in many sizes made using the ancient artisans’ methods can be purchased. Inside the museum grounds there are people hawking some of the same wares. I suggest seeing a factory to understand the process which ancient artisans used.

Historians tell us Qin used 700,000 workers over a period of 40 years to construct his tomb. It is suspected that the workers were buried alive inside the tomb to prevent Qin’s secret afterlife from being revealed and robbed by gravediggers.

Today, this site is truly one of the most remarkable things you will ever see, well worth a special trip to Xi’an for that purpose.
