AMAZON HQ2 SEARCH

Dallas taken offline by online retail behemoth

By Bill Zeeble KERA News After learning Nov. 13 that Dallas won't be home to the next Amazon headquarters — the prize instead goes to New York and Northern Virginia — city leaders say they learned some lessons from the application process.

At a press conference with the Dallas Regional Chamber, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings got right to the point.

"I like to win,” Mayor Rawlings said. “So my heart's broken today.

But I will tell you, we are leaps and bounds better as a city because we went through this.”

Rawlings said Amazon offered two reasons Dallas failed to secure one of the headquarters: The company held a fascination with the East Coast; and, to hire the people it needed now, only New York and Northern Virginia offered enough qualified workers.

Rawlings said this national competition is a reminder that Texas needs to improve its education, “making sure our schools are the best in America.

Dallas missed the delivery of Amazon's new HQ2 headquarters.

We are short of that today.

We’ve got to work harder on it.”

Rawlings also said Texas lawmakers need to help.

"We must stay focused with our legislators in Austin to make sure they're spending money in public and higher education. This is imperative for our state to do it,” Rawlings said. “If our state does not do this,

then we will not compete with these cities.”

Bernard Weinstein understands the need to stay competitive. However, the SMU economist at the Cox School of Business says North Texas is already competitive.

“Since the great recession ended, we have added more people and more jobs than any other metropolitan area in the country,” Weinstein said.

"We have a tremendously diverse and dynamic economy and we have lots of tech-focused employers.

I don’t think there’s anything to worry about going forward.”

Weinstein said Rawlings is concerned about the right issues like education, but as long as businesses keep moving to Texas, Weinstein said we should just "keep on keepin’ on.”

stern.shari@gmail.com Many Americans across the country can tell you where they were Nov. 22, 1963, with whom and how they felt during the sequence of hideous events that day and the days following. Those living in Dallas felt an indelible pain.

While history buffs, conspiracy theorists and fanatics alike continue to study this dark period, less attention is paid to the collateral damage, families whose lives changed forever and the carnage left behind.

Lee Harvey Oswald, President John F. Kennedy’s alleged assassin, was captured by the Dallas Police Department and taken into custody barely an hour after the 1963 shooting. First, though, he murdered Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit, who tried to halt him. Thirty-minutes later, police captured Oswald at Oak Cliff’s Texas Theatre.

On Nov. 24, 1963, while the world was still reeling, Dallas police officers were transferring Oswald from the police basement when club owner Jack

Jack Ruby (right) shot and killed JFK's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, on Nov. 4, 1963.

Ruby lunged from the crowd and fired one fatal shot at Oswald from a concealed .38 revolver. Ruby was charged with first-degree murder.

Ruby’s nephew, Fred, is the son of Ruby’s brother, Sam. Earl Ruby is Jack’s other brother, and the brothers have two sisters. On Nov. 25, 2014, Fred Ruby was interviewed by Stephen Fagin, associate curator for the Sixth Floor Museum as part of its Oral History project. Fred said that he hadn’t known his Uncle Jack well, but recalled, “I know he had to have been

You didn’t have a choice.”

Red Cross issues call for blood donations

The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage and urgently needs blood donors to give now to avoid delays in lifesaving medical care for patients. Volunteer blood drive hosts are also critically needed to prevent the shortage from worsening this winter.

During September and October, the Red Cross collected over 21,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than what hospitals needed. Blood donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to make an appointment to donate at redcrossblood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Fewer blood drives in September and October coupled with hurricanes Michael and Florence, which caused thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected, were key contributing factors to the current blood shortage.

“This time of year, as many give thanks for family, friends and good health, it’s important to remember that patients across the country cannot survive without your generosity,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Biomedical Services.

“From traumas to ongoing cancer treatments, the need for blood doesn’t stop

An additional 4,300 blood drives nationally — and more than 60 blood drives in this area — are needed in December, January and February to help stop the shortage from continuing throughout winter. Donations often decline during the winter holidays when many groups postpone blood drives while regular donors are busy with holiday activities and travel. Severe winter weather may also cause blood drive cancellations contributing to fewer donations than needed.

We will not produce a newspaper on Thanksgiving Day. Given recent events, this is such a critical time to spend with family and friends.

Have a wonderful holiday.

In 1621, the Pilgrims held the first Thanksgiving celebration, giving thanks for their first bountiful harvest and for surviving a very hard year. The Pilgrims celebrated with 91 Wampanoag Indians, who’d given them food and taught them farming, storage and food preparation techniques as well as how to survive the bitterly cold winter. Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in remembrance of that first gathering.

Fortunately, living conditions are easier now, with food abundant for most Americans, so we’re grateful for more than just survival and food (although we certainly may appreciate a delicious holiday meal). According to a 2017 survey, family tops the list of what people are “most thankful for,” with just over 50 percent of survey respondents endorsing family. “God” (about 25 percent of respondents) and “health” (10 percent) were #2 and #3.

Thanksgiving is a good time to think about what you’re thankful for. Studies consistently find a relationship between gratitude and physical and mental health.

According to a health psychologist from University of Wisconsin Health, research suggests that people who feel grateful have lower blood pressure, better immune functioning, faster recovery from illness and better coping with stress. Gratitude is strongly connected to mental health, reducing the lifetime risk for depression, anxiety and substance abuse disorders. Experiencing gratitude means appreciating what is valuable and meaningful in life.

Practicing gratitude. The first step is to become more aware of what you’re grateful for in life by paying attention to the good things that are happening to you and your family. In other words, count your blessings. Gratitude can be considered a skill that improves with practice, so get into the regular (if not daily) habit of focusing on what’s going well in your life.

Write down three to five small (or big) things you’re grateful for. You can keep a gratitude journal, share your thoughts on social media and/or jot items down on a slip of paper and keep them in a special container. Studies have shown that writing down the things you’re grateful for is more effective than just thinking about them.

I’m particularly grateful for support

from my friends, whether they’re helping me walk my foster dogs or driving me to medical appointments. As the only child of parents who don’t live in Texas, I rely on my “urban family” for day-to-day, I-needsomeone-in-Dallas support. When I recently asked a girlfriend to pick me up after my first-ever colonoscopy (I wasn’t allowed to drive home after anesthesia), she immediately insisted on taking me to the surgery center and staying during the procedure.

Having recently undergone her first colonoscopy, she knew I’d be worried. I’m very grateful for her motherly words of wisdom (“eat the Jell-O so you feel like you’re chewing something”) and reassurance (“the physicians at this surgery center are topnotch; you’re in good hands!”) before the procedure.

Focus on the positives, even in stressful situations. Gratitude can help us cope with stress. Finding something positive in a difficult situation can be challenging. Ask yourself two questions: what have you learned from this experience/situation, and how are you stronger as a result of the stressful situation? I can still hear my mother telling me that challenges “build character.” Although my first colonoscopy was stressful, I learned that anesthesia isn’t as scary as I’d imagined. I’m stronger now because I asked for help — very difficult for me. I was prepared to take Uber both ways (and spend the mandatory extra two hours in the recovery area so I would be fully lucid before getting in a car with a stranger) instead of asking someone to drive me home afterward. My friend was happy to support me, and I’ll repay the favor to her or someone else. I’ve already agreed to drive another friend who’s having foot surgery this month.

Tell people you appreciate them.

Expressing gratitude outwardly (i.e., how much gratitude you show) is associated with happiness. Telling a friend or loved one why you’re grateful for them makes them feel better and can improve your relationship.

Tell your spouse or husband what you appreciate about them, whether it’s their character (“you’re so thoughtful”) or behavior (“thank you for picking up my favorite ice cream”).

What are you grateful for?

Philly’s Bike Expo: A business cycle

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net It’s fall. And since it’s fall, I again traveled to Philadelphia for that city’s Philly Bike Expo, an annual exhibition of Bikerly Love. In this third visit to the show, it finally occurred to me … the Philly Bike Expo is as much about the business of bikes as it is the riding of bikes. And with a record number of exhibitors — 195 — in 2018, the show grows even more engaging.

Given the obvious interest in cycling among Philly’s city dwellers, despite — in late October — the city’s somewhat crappy weather and aggressively crappy asphalt, the viability of Bina Bilenky’s Philly Bike Expo shouldn’t surprise. Bina has been connected to the building of bikes for most of her life, as she’s a ‘Bilenky’ in Philadelphia’s Bilenky Cycle Works. (And tho’ I can’t afford one of Bilenky’s custom frames, perhaps you can.)

Of course, with a couple of hundred exhibitors, a visitor has more to take in than just the beautiful work of Stephen Bilenky. The show floor is populated by both the big names, such as Bianchi, Breezer, Haro and Jamis; along with the notso-big, including Bishop, Crust, Richard Sachs and VeloORANGE.

I used to think there was only one type of runner — a crazy person. How anyone could enjoy such a painful, mundane form of exercise was beyond my comprehension. And that allusive runner’s high?

Yeah, it remained allusive to me for quite some time. But I finally feel like I’ve made the cut. I’m a real runner now. In fact, I enjoy running as my most frequent type of exercise these days.

Getting myself to this point has been years in the making, and just when I think I’ve pushed myself to my limit, there’s a new goal to chase after. It’s fun, but it’s also exhausting. I’m realizing there are more steps to this running journey than I ever thought possible. When you finish a half marathon — next up is a full.

HELPS INTERNATIONAL

Hundreds of volunteer doctors, nurses, students and people from Dallas travel to Guatemala offering assistance to poverty-stricken residents.

By Sally Blanton

so much back. We tell volunteers, “The life you change may be your own.” For so many in our community, serving with HELPS provides a sense of purpose that brings them back year after year.

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

Q What is your mission or highest

A

purpose?

When I founded HELPS International in 1984, my intention was simply to do everything I could to support the people of Guatemala and bring hope for the spiritual and physical poverty that gripped their country. Since then, HELPS’ programs have reached well over a million people, providing pathways out of poverty through agriculture, education, community development and health care.

Q What is rewarding about your job?

A It has always been rewarding to see

HELPS’ programs change lives. The most exciting thing recently, though, has been to see the fulfillment of the opportunities these programs have created over the years. That little girl whose life was touched by a medical team is now a surgeon herself; the eager student who was the first in her family to finish primary school has returned to her village as a teacher; the child whose family couldn’t make ends meet is now running a successful business.

Q How did your career path lead you Q About how many people are

A

to this position?

I’ve been fortunate to have two rewarding careers. First, I was an investment banker and co-founded a precious metals trading company called Dillon Gage, where I continue as CEO. In that capacity, I was invited to visit Guatemala in 1982 as part of an effort to bring aid to poverty-stricken areas. Once I saw the tremendous suffering there, there was no turning back. A friend and I started programs to address basic problems, asking everyone we knew to get involved, and HELPS’ programs kept growing from there.

Q What is the most important

A

thing your nonprofit does for our community?

We install clean-burning stoves where women had been cooking over smoky open fires; they distribute water filters; they train schoolteachers; they provide surgery to people who desperately need it. They give so much, but they also get

A

served each year?

In a typical year, HELPS International’s programs reach over 40,000 indigenous Guatemalans living in poverty.

Q What sort of volunteer jobs are

A

available?

We’re always looking for new volunteers!

Some are doctors, nurses or interpreters; others receive training to install stoves; some we call “MacGyver,” handy volunteers who keep things running smoothly.

For those who can’t travel, our Dallas office can always use a hand with events and administrative tasks.

Hammer and Nails

Lots to be thankful for

By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com If you have always wanted to see an estate built without regard to budget, I mean, no expense spared, oh boy we have one for you: 3509 Euclid Candy Evans Ave., listed with Vicki White of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

And with more than $23 million poured into it, this mansion is the biggest bargain in Texas with its new, “sell me, sell me!” listing price.

Consider: more than 18,000 square feet. Underground parking for at least 10. Nine bedrooms, a master suite that is larger than most homes at 2,638 square feet, putting green, golf simulator, outdoor kitchen, the most perfect pool environment and the most sought after location in Highland Park.

There is even a remote back entry gate (with separate remote exit gate) leading to a large motor court that could double as a sports court.

Beautifully positioned on close to an acre in the most prestigious corner of Highland Park, the owners of this meticulously crafted estate commissioned three of the most esteemed professionals in Texas to make it a home nirvana: Architect Robbie Fusch (need we say more?), master builder John Sebastian and our very own landscape guru Harold Leidner created a landscape plan that rivals the most beautiful resort landscaping you have ever seen.

Who was the owner? Wade Neal Barker, a Mesquite bariatric surgeon who pleaded guilty to his role in a $200 million health care fraud involving the now defunct Forest Park Medical Center on North Central Expressway just north of Forest Lane, of which he was a co-founder.

Dr. Barker sat on the hospital’s board of directors and was a founding member. In August, Dr. Barker plead guilty to major health care fraud: conspiracy to pay and receive health care bribes and kickbacks in connection with the bankrupt hospital. He is not alone. Dr. Barker is the seventh of 21 defendants who have admitted guilt in an elaborate scheme whereby $40 million in bribes and kickbacks were paid to doctors, recruiters, lawyers and others, all according to prosecutors.

Because of the brain defying complexity of insurance in-network and out-of-network payments, hospital executives and physicians allegedly assured patients they would pay in-network prices. But then they allegedly concealed the patient discounts and wrote off the difference as uncollected bad debt. But then there were, allegedly, bribes for referrals and kickbacks for performing surgeries at the medical center. Dr. Barker is the first of several charged surgeons to admit his guilt in the case, and his house, which is all we are concerned with here, has been ordered sold by the court.

It is truly a work of art. The home includes three rich living areas, three full stories serviced by a commercial elevator, a wine grotto with tasting area, a safe room, rich wood paneled library/office with built-in computer station and coffered

When you tire of working, there is a virtual golf room where you can tee off in your choice of exclusive golf courses.

Virtual golf rooms start at about $75K. Did we tell you this house is loaded?

Company? There is an attached guest casita. Just walk across the balcony that is over the porte cochere to a separate quarters with living room up and bedroom down. The suite also includes sink, microwave and refrigerator for long-term guests, grown kids or elderly parents.

There is a full home gym that rivals Cooper Aerobics right near the master bedroom.

There is an attached private living room just for the master suite complete with glass bi-folding doors that open to a large private loggia with fireplace that overlooks the estate’s grounds: pool and spa, cabana, pergola, outdoor kitchen, putting green and more. The master suite also includes a wet bar with built in espresso maker. There are separate, glorious, large bathrooms as well as fabulous separate custom closets. The “his closet” has a television that remotely rises from the mammoth island in the middle of the closet to watch while getting dressed. And it has back-to-back TVs so it can be viewed from either side of the dressing area.

The state of the art exercise room completes the master suite on the second floor, which is over 2,638 square feet.

The main floor has the requisite formals and an enormous, functioning kitchen with full catering space, all accessible to the amazing and glorious outdoors.

Few homes can rival the superior, lovingly manicured exteriors on this home with an amazingly beautiful pool (sure Leidner designed it) that extends under an incredible columned pergola with tile roof for shade, fireplace, water features and two covered, queen-sized platform beds. Imagine the peace of resting on those huge cushions on a hot August afternoon with the water tickling your feet.

Other amenities include that cabana with large living area and two bathrooms, full outdoor kitchen, the aforementioned putting green, numerous loggias, amazing motor court leading to an underground 10-car garage plus a separate two-car garage.

All together, the home has 18,100 square feet with nine bedrooms, three stories, 11 fireplaces, gadzillion in and out living areas, nine full baths, five half baths, another gazillion (three) dining areas and a guest casita.

Dr. Barker poured more than $23 million in, but the asking price is $18 million. I rest my case.

Jordan Dickie is not just a realtor. She’s a neighbor, friend, and trusted advisor.

In today’s modern or upgraded home, we have so much to be thankful for. Can you imagine when the ice man cometh, to your door that is, to deliver a block of ice for your ice box? Can you imagine the old wood burning stove? Heck, when was the last time you even had to put a match to a pilot light? Before the advent of the microwave, you had to heat an oven to warm up leftovers. Oh, the inconvenience!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, let’s consider the many things we have to be thankful for.

Air conditioning. The birth of central air conditioning created a population explosion in the South. People actually lived without air conditioning, while wearing flannel suits. Today’s air conStephan Sardone ditioning units are more efficient than ever.

Water heaters. New, eco-friendly water heaters use less water, take up less space and have a long life expectancy.

New faucets, shower heads and toilets.

Again, in the spirit of water conservation, today’s faucets, shower heads and toilets use less water and help lower utility bills. At any given time, we could face an extended drought. Thank goodness we are saving water.

Modern kitchens. By clicking a button or accessing an app, you can preheat an oven, adjust lighting and monitor other appliances. This saves energy and makes cooking much easier.

Functional outdoor space. The backyard has never been more enjoyable than with practical heaters, propane barbeques and island counters.

Solar panels. In the very near future, solar panels will be the rule not the exception. They may seem a bit overbearing now, but what better way to get energy than from the sun. El Sol has been around for a long time. He is not going anywhere.

Large garages. There was a day when houses only had carports or garages so small that you couldn’t fit a Morris Minor in them. Today, houses can accommodate for multiple vehicles and still leave areas for a work bench and plenty of storage.

Home security systems. This may seem like a downer, like the time my friend went to a Thanksgiving dinner in Arkansas and they only served ham, no turkey. But in today’s society, it is a necessary evil and they are so modern and easy to use, they bring back the peace of mind we all may have had decades ago.

Eco-friendly front yards. Once only found in the desert, today’s yards have trees and flora that require little or no water. Lose the lawn and you lose the noisy, gas-guzzling and air polluting mover.

Recycling. Most municipalities offer recycling at your home. If they don’t, there are easy drop-off points to recycle newspapers, electronics and solvents. Plus, chances are that your family has a heightened awareness of the benefits. They are teaching recycling in grade school.

Home electronics. Remember the Betamax or the top loading VCR? How about that TV monitor that weighed 100 pounds and had a four foot tube in the back? Electronics are now sleek and stylish.

Interactivity in the home. Just ask Siri or Alexa what they think.

Affordable interest rates. Even though interest rates are creeping up, this is still a good time to buy a house or condominium. If this point makes you shrug your shoulders, remember the 1980s when a 30-year mortgage carried a whopping 18.63 percent interest rate.

Despite all of these modern conveniences, I am also very thankful for my loyal base of clients and co-workers. And, I am thankful for my family and friends. They may be dated like that old toaster oven, but you can never replace them. Happy Thanksgiving.

through the basement and said, “I watched somebody come in off the screen from the right side and shoot Oswald.

I yelled out. My mom came in the room to see what was going on, and they announced the shooter was my uncle, Jack Ruby. She collapsed.”

According to Fred, “The last time I went to see him [Jack Ruby in prison] he had definitely lost connection with reality. There’s a thick glass plate between us and him, and he’s wearing the white jailhouse smock. And he had this very … just incredibly wild-eyed look on his face. And there’s this siren that starts up because it’s a police station, and he goes, ‘You hear that? They’re torturing Jews in the basement!’ He was out of his mind obviously. And you know, 12, 13 years old, it was painful, really painful.”

Jules Meyer and his Dallas law office of Meyer, Meyer, and Levin probated the will and estate of Jack Ruby. Jules and Charles Meyer are deceased. Attorney Marvin Levin had this to say: “In 1990, Jack’s brother, Earl Ruby, contested his brother’s probated will. Jack’s possessions at the time of his arrest were the gun used to take down Oswald, a watch, some rings and the clothes on his back, including the $100 Cavanagh hat and trench coat seen on him by millions over the years.” The FBI was in Levin’s office repeatedly.

The firm had represented Ruby in a few cases over the years. When Levin joined the practice, he and his partners incorporated their client’s Carousel Club. Levin has practiced law in Dallas for 50 years. His wife, Shirley, joined the practice, now Levin Law Firm, in the 1960s.

“Jack actually had a big heart. He took care of his sisters in Dallas and Chicago, his original home,” Levin said.

“He always supported the women who danced in his nightclub. Due to the nature of their work, they attracted some unsavory characters and were often a target for crime,” Levin said.

help getting out of jail or getting a divorce, for example. We defended Ruby in some of the law suits filed against him over the years,” Levin added. The law firm also maintained Ruby’s legal and business records. When Ruby was arrested in 1963, it was Jules Meyer whom he called.

California criminal defense attorney Melvin Belli was hired to handle the Oswald case. Ruby’s conviction was waived on technicalities. Judge Joe B. Brown reversed his conviction by the appellate court.

Jules Meyer was named as executor and handled Ruby’s estate. District Attorney Henry Wade met with Levin and Meyer to turn over to them Ruby’s personal belongings. The attorneys stored them in a safety deposit box. Jules was going to hold onto the gun until it was worth enough to bail out Ruby’s estate.

Earl filed three separate suits in probate court asking to remove Meyer as executor of Ruby’s estate. He wanted to be named executor and have possession of his brother’s belongings.

Earl was so excited about having the gun, he went to Washington D.C. to show it to his congressman. He got arrested for carrying a gun. He subsequently sold the gun for $220,000, which enabled him to pay off his $160,000 debt in back taxes to the IRS. Levin’s father-in-law, Rubin Goldstein, and two other professionals appraised Ruby’s gun, watch, rings and his infamous Cavanagh felt hat.

Jack Ruby said in his statement to Dallas police and the FBI after the shooting, “I don’t remember anything that happened except walking down to the basement and being pinned down on the concrete with people on top of me.”

Later, Ruby explained his motive like this: He didn’t want the First Lady to bear coming back to Dallas for a lengthy, painful trial and being called as a witness. He wanted to save her from that.

Ruby died from cancer Jan. 3, 1967 in jail. “Jack Ruby was never tried and found guilty,” Levin said. “He died an innocent man.”

Your Stars this Week The coming week is likely to present numerous situations that require a great deal of reflection and honesty. Many may find that they are only able to face what comes with a trusted ally or two at one’s side when things get complicated — and they are almost certain to become complicated!

This is likely to be a difficult week for most, though not impossible, surely. Nothing that transpires will be wholly new and unfamiliar; indeed, past experience can surely make the difference between success and failure. This doesn’t mean that new methods cannot be employed this week; on the contrary, the new and untried can prove essential at this time.

‘Green Book’ takes a page out of forced emotions

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood There are some movies that make you feel all warm and fuzzy while you’re sitting in the theater. You laugh, cry, wince, essentially run the gamut of emotional responses.

But then, maybe while you drive home, you think about what you’ve seen and how nearly every second of it was a calculated attack on each of those emotions and then it hits you: you’ve been manipulated.

“Green Book” is that movie. This “dramady” is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, but it’s the very definition of Oscar bait. When in the hands of director Peter Farrelly (yes, he of “Dumb and Dumber” fame), this tale of early 1960s race relations never challenges the viewer and there is only one moment of conflict that should spark actual thought…that quickly is ignored and everyone moves on.

Thankfully, Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali are skilled and charming enough to overcome the movie’s pandering and blasé look at 1960s racism. If they didn’t share such entertaining chemistry, “Green Book” would be an absolute disaster.

Mortensen is Frank Vallelonga, whose “Tony Lip” nickname was given to him as a child due to this direct quote: “I talk people inta doin’ stuff they don’t wanna.” Tony’s way with words did get him a lovely wife, Delores (Linda Cardellini), two sons and a gig as a bouncer at the Copacabana.

Farrelly and the screenwriters Brian Hayes Currie and Nick Vallelonga (the actual son of Tony Lip) do a great job in setting up Tony’s shaky moral code. He’s good enough to not take any shady, illegal work from Brooklyn’s Italian mobsters, but he’s racist enough to throw away two glasses just

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali star in "Green Book." because a few black guys drank from them.

This setup allows for a perfect amount of tension when Tony meets Don Shirley (Ali), a pianist who

needs a driver/bodyguard for his upcoming tour of the Deep South. Don lives in a lavish penthouse above Carnegie Hall and he can clearly run intellectual circles around Tony.

However, Tony’s straight forwardness seems to charm Don and this unlikely pairing hits the road for two months straight.

Once they are in the car, Tony won’t shut up, Don digs the quiet, and thus, their relationship seems doomed. But over time, these two guys start to realize that they have more in common with their opposite races than their own. For example, Don has never heard a Little Richard song and

this blows Tony’s mind while Don helps Tony with his unbelievably bad diction.

So far, so good, right?

After about 45 minutes, “Green Book” gets iffy. The pandering ramps up and everyone should be able to tell where this movie is going. There’s no need for a spoiler alert to say that both Tony and Don overcome their preconceived notions and biases to “save” each other. The problem is that the movie treats these like shocking revelations when they can be telegraphed from miles away.

It seems like “Green Book” wanted to show a highly offensive time

period while not being offensive, which effectively neutered the message. If it only explored the friendship between two very different men, it works. But when horrible examples of Jim Crow laws occur, Tony and Don simply put on a frowny face and then move on to the next episodic instance of racism. Then, to fully insult your intelligence, it tries to make it all better in the last 15 minutes.

Mortensen and Ali are so committed to their roles that it’s almost impossible for “Green Book” to be a poor movie, but this is nothing more than a puff piece disguised as a serious movie.

‘You’re a mean one, Mr. Cumberbatch’

By Ed Bark

that otherwise are distinctly American.

The TV world has seen two further examples of late.

FX announced last month that Australian Cate Blanchett will star as conservative Equal Rights Amendment foe Phyllis Schlafly in the 1970s era limited series “Mrs. America.”

And Russell Crowe, born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, is starring in Showtime’s as yet untitled eight-episode bio of Fox News Channel founder Roger Ailes.

The role of anchor Gretchen Carlson, whose charges of repeated sexual harassment by Ailes led to his forced resignation, is being played by Britisher Naomi Watts.

Michael Douglas, who won multiple acting awards for his portrayal of Liberace in HBO’s “Beyond the Candelabra,” initially was thought to be an odd choice to play the flamboyant pianist. But at least he kept the role in the American family, so to speak.

Douglas told Entertainment Weekly a few years back that thespians from abroad “happen to be pretty well-trained, disciplined actors” who don’t overly fret about their images. So they’re up for anything, while “young American actors now are very self-conscious of their image,” Douglas said. “So rather than playing truthful ... they’re almost kind of capturing

unclebarky@verizon.net While in Florida over the weekend for my grandson’s fourth birthday, we happened upon the latest version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

This time it’s simply titled “The Grinch” and is currently playing in a theater near you.

I somehow had missed the news of who is voicing The Grinch, and spent a good part of this energetically and lavishly animated film puzzling over just who (puns intended) it might be.

The closing credits provided an answer I didn’t see coming. Why, it’s Benedict Cumberbatch, best known for playing Sherlock Holmes in a series of acclaimed PBS movies and earlier this year nominated for an Emmy for his starring role as the besotted and haunted title character in Showtime’s “Patrick Melrose” miniseries.

“I think it’s such an iconic American role, and something I was surprised to be asked to do,” Cumberbatch recently told NPR. He’s a Brit, you see, and there’s a lot of this going around, both lately and over the past several years.

Cumberbatch falls into the realm of both never-wouldhave-thought-of-that casting and an ongoing British/ Australian invasion of roles

an image of what they should be, rather than playing it.” The upshot, in Douglas’ view, is that it’s all working very much to the benefit of actors from abroad who don’t have such hang-ups and are at home with their range.

The quintessential American role of George Washington has yet to go to a Brit or an Aussie. But Abraham Lincoln ended up fitting London-born Daniel Day-Lewis like a stovepipe hat. As completely expected, he won the 2012 best actor Oscar for his indelible performance in Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln.”

We’ll close out this column with some of my favorite oddball casting choices, all of them relegated to the TV world in times when mostly Americans were still playRealtor® ing Americans.

• The incredibly durable Tom Selleck, mainstay of CBS’ “Blue Bloods,” shaved both his trademark mustache and

his head to star as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in the A&E network’s “Ike: Countdown to D-Day,” which originally aired in 2004. TV vet Gerald McRaney also appeared as Gen. George S. Patton, which marked a promotion from his days as the star of CBS’ “Major Dad.” • I’m not sure why anyone envisioned “Coach” star Craig T. Nelson as Ted Kennedy.

But this actually happened in the 1986 NBC film “The Ted Kennedy Jr. Story,” which focused on the late icon’s son and his battle to rehabilitate himself after losing a leg to cancer. Dad was with him every step of the way, but with no prosthetics or makeup to make Nelson even remotely look the part.

• NBC went a little crazy in 1986 by also casting the classically handsome Richard Crenna as diminutive, plain-faced Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot in the two-part “On Wings of Eagles.” Burt Lancaster costarred as Lt. Col. Arthur “Bull” Simons, who took his

marching orders from Perot in the successful effort to rescue two of his EDS employees Ed Bark from an Iranian prison following the 1978 revolution. Several years later, Dana Carvey introduced his riotous impression of Perot on “Saturday Night Live.”

That’s more like it.

• Just two years before playing his most memorable role — punishment-dispensing rogue cop Vic Mackey in FX’s “The Shield” — Michael Chiklis played punishment-taking Curly “Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk’ Howard in ABC’s 2000 film about The Three Stooges. Chiklis pretty much looked the part of Curly. But what a transition.

• Finally, imagine if you will, the spectacle of George C. Scott playing a henpecked Benito Mussolini in the 1985 NBC miniseries “Mussolini: The Untold Story.” Some critics, including this one, dubbed it “Lifestyles of the Rich and Fascist.” Just a year earlier, Scott played Ebenezer Scrooge to great effect in CBS’ adaptation of “A Christmas Carol.” But he was completely wrong for the role of “Il Duce,” with Lee Grant driving him nuts as the Fascist strongman’s very demanding wife, Rachele.

Azénabor empowers women at Objet D’Art Show

By Leah Frazier leahfarizer.com Plenty of designers have emerged on the scene, but few have reached the recent popularity as that of Dallas’ own Esé Azénabor. Certifiably a fan favorite, the Nigerian-born designer has raked in accolades, awards and a celebrity clientele list that most would envy.

While attendance has wavered for fashion this year, the Esé Azénabor “Objet D’Art” show boasted a sold-out affair, leaving Ariawna Talton few standing room slots for those dying to witness both glitz and (Above) Esé Azénabor. (Below) LeeAnne Locken of "Real glam.

Housewives of Dallas" walks the runway at "Objet D'Art." Inspired by travels to New York, it was the architecture of St. Patrick’s Cathedral that beckoned Azénabor into a trance. From the reflective colors of stained glass to the geometric shapes within, she was captivated to creation — resulting in what was coined as her most “elaborate” of collections, put on display at Fair Park’s Hall of State Nov. 1.

“I’m not a trend follower at all,” Azénabor explained.

“I go with what I feel.

Leah Frazier A lot of color, boldness and celebrating femininity in a very structural way.”

More than 40 powerful influencers graced the catwalk for “Objet D’Art,” a hybrid evening and bridal wear collection that took the designer three years to create. Celebrities such as Pat Smith, Tammy Franklin, Donna Richardson, Rhonda Sargent Chambers and Bravo TV’s LeeAnne Locken were models, donning hand-sewn garments of custom fabrics, intricate embroidery and glistening embellishments.

With a focus on inclusion, the “I want to prove that couture can be worn influential “models” came in all shapes, ethin any shape, color, size or whatever,” Azénabor nicities and sizes — showcasing 43 evening said. “My goal is to show that if it is made wear garments and 17 bridal pieces to further for your body, then it will look great on you. strengthen the designer’s message of women’s Beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes, empowerment. and they love to wear beautiful clothes.”

But what’s beauty without a cause?

Action with Compassion Dallas, Inc. was the designated beneficiary for the evening — a local nonprofit with objectives to combat domestic violence.

“The more I talked with my clients,” Azénabor added, “the more I found out that no one really talks about domestic violence and 95 percent of them … have been abused in some form of way by someone that they love so much … and they’ll never say anything about it.”

The “Objet d’Art” Spring and Summer 2019 collection was one of remembrance. Empowering women through the art of fashion, Esé Azénabor hopes that it will help women to stand taller, project confidence and smile at themselves lovingly in the mirror — because this above all is the true measure of her impact, and most prominently, her success.

Tip of the hat to religious headwear

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com When you travel to Israel you cannot help but come face-to-face with many religious matters. So, you need to know the various traditions as regards covering your head, shoulders, knees and feet.

At the entrance to various holy sites, quiet men or women sit unobtrusively off to the side in a chair, seeming to mind their own business. But try to enter the holy site improperly dressed, and they spring into action, like an Army General, shouting commands at you, often in a foreign language, in a way that might make you shake in your boots.

As you enter a Jewish holy site, a synagogue or shrine, men are supposed to cover their heads.

If you are wearing a gimmie baseball cap or a cowboy hat, that qualifies as a hat. If you don’t have a hat, the synagogue will usually provide cheaply made head-coverings. In Israel, I noticed they were

sometimes made of paper stapled together to form a sort-of hat.

On the other hand, if you are a woman, no hat is required, but women often wear some head covering, frequently a doily, but Jewish women will often have quite fancy hats. Very religious women aren’t allowed to show their hair outside their home, so they wear wigs that look like hair and a hat on top of that!

Just when I was getting used to the idea of not removing my hat as I entered a synagogue, I stepped next door into a church and was accosted by the aforementioned unobtrusive man sitting by the side who yelled at me to remove my hat.

In the churches, men are not allowed to wear hats. Of course, exceptions are made, as with the Pope and his clergy who all wear hats.

Entering the church, the inspectors are also looking at women to make sure their shoulders aren’t exposed and their knees aren’t showing. And men’s knees showing are also forbidden, but the rule

is lightly enforced for men. If the knees or shoulders are showing, a thin wrap-around cloth is provided to sling over your shoulder or around your waist, as needed, to cover these very revealing areas of the body (sarcasm is mine). The visitors look ridiculous, but they pass inspection.

Step inside a mosque and the situation changes once more. First of all, no shoes are allowed. Outside the mosque, cubby-holes are usually provided for your shoes, or sometimes they are strewn around in a huge pile. I often wonder if people ever lose their shoes at the mosque. I recommend that you bring a bag to put your shoes in and that you wear sandals or slip-on shoes when going to the mosque, so that you don’t have trouble putting them on again as benches to sit on are in short supply or non-existent, and you often have to put your shoes on standing up.

Again, exposed women’s shoulders are a problem in a mosque. The same solution is offered. Women must cover their heads.

Men are not required to wear a hat, but many worshippers do. Apparently, Mohammed said it is a good thing to cover your head (he always did), but no edict was ever incorporated

into Islamic law to require men to wear hats. Of course, there may be sects that have more stringent rules … so don’t take my word as gospel or, more appropriately in this case, Quran.

One of my must carry items for travel is a large, thin, lightweight scarf. For men, I suggest black.

That way you can cover your head with it if needed, you can use it for warmth if it gets cold, and you can use it around your waist as a skirt if one of the army commandoes comes after you for exposed knees.

Women can use it in so many ways

that there are even websites devoted to the many ways to wear a scarf.

Whether you take my advice and bring a scarf or not, you need to be ready to follow the custom if you want to gain entry to some tourist attractions.

UPTOWN GIRL

Falling away from summer hairstyles

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com As summer fades to fall, so do many of our favorite, bouncy hairstyles that just don’t seem to sit the same laying on a hood or furry coat. And not only are our hairstyles changing for the cold weather, but the colors are fading as well, from bright, pastel colors like pinks and blues to deeper, more romantic shades like maroon and that silver-grey that just won’t seem to go out of fashion.

Although fall tends to beckon more subtle hairstyles, this year’s cold-weather looks are anything but simple and seem to throw us back in time in more ways than one. We can expect hair that explodes like your mom’s pictures from the ‘80s, smooths down like grandpa’s side-slicked comb-over or perhaps more like seemingly wet, fresh-out-of-the-shower waves.

Whatever you do — don’t actually go out with wet hair. Nothing more embarrassing than a fashion-induced cold.

Ponyboy … or girl. The ponytail is changing this fall, from straight-back Kardashian-style to the side-slicked, polished look. Use either oil or hairspray to keep away flyaways and add some sort of texture to your pony, either a large, messy braid or wild, out-of-control curls and let your hair do the talking.

The ‘90s are back and they’re better. The high pony remains a staple, but rather with side-slicked bangs or simple, middle-parted wispies in our favorite Mary Kate and Ashley fashion. One look making a dramatic comeback this year is the vintage bun. Opt for a pinup, Marilyn Monroe’s bun that’ll have you singing Mr. President despite any of your better judgement, or cover your bun with a turban or tight-fitted, hard hat straight from grandma’s closet.

The slickest. What is it with this wet hair look? Well, we’re about it. Break out your boyfriend’s gel and get your comb

ready; either slick back in the traditional, straight out-of-the shower comb-back or scrunch your hair with an overt amount of gel or wax. Lightly part your hair on the side or push directly back from your face for a look that accentuates your bone structure and doesn’t make you break out.

Also try slicking down your bangs behind your ears and contrasting with overly-full, curly hair on the back. Add the drama and pump up the volume underneath with either wild, savage-like hair all over or a puffy bun that expands beyond the height of your head.

Curly-cute. Bangs have traditionally been limiting when it comes to curly hair (at least since Jennifer’s from "Dirty Dancing" were lost); but, luckily for those curly-headed cuties, the bangs are back in action! Whip your hair back and forth with this rocker-style hairdo and don’t worry about messing it up for the day — that’s the point.

Along with this trend is the return of more ‘80s-inspired hairstyles. So, all I’ve got to say to that is — bring on the volume! Dig out those hair rollers from the attic and embrace the inner diva that you’ve always tried to control. I’m talkin’ teased up, puffed out, oversized, over-dramatic hair that draws every eye in the room.

Gangster-fly. Unlike the traditional, loose braids that have forever been popular, the trend this fall is in the teeny, baby braids. Either fill your hair with random, peek-a-boo braids or go for something more dramatic, like a woven head of cornrows, and let your inner Jamaican free.

Embrace your inner Sporty Spice with woven styles of various shapes and styles, either tight cornrows or loose plaits. Pull your hair back in an overly-loosened braid or fishtail braid that looks to be nearing its end physically; throw in some clips to hold it together and hit the streets with this fashion staple that we can assume to never lose its luster.

Slicked-back hair styles are trending for both men and women this fall.

Program to empower homeless women

By Adrienne Santaularia adrienne@dallas24hourclub.org November marks the first month of a year-long series of the Women Empowerment Program at Dallas 24 Hour Club, which has been established thanks to a generous $25,000 grant provided by the Dallas Mavericks Foundation. The Women Empowerment Program will provide female residents of Dallas 24 Hour Club (The 24) with new skills and a new sense of purpose, fueled by a strong self-esteem. Through monthly sessions with experts, the female residents of Dallas 24 Hour Club will experience training in confidence building, trauma therapy, resume writing, interview practice and more. This will allow them to establish their sobriety and be educated and confident.

Each month, Dallas 24 Hour Club will host an expert in a particular field who will spend one to two hours with the female residents. The session will include dinner and a team building exercise to increase the women’s morale and help nurture them as they become successful members of society.

“The need for the Women Empowerment Program is extremely high. Our female residents are an intelligent group of women who have faced hardships, which led them to experience all kinds of abuse due to their vulnerability. To cope, they have abused alcohol and/or drugs and eventually became homeless. They have gaps in their

career and resume, which lead to their lack of confidence and empowerment.

The Women Empowerment Program will work to build confidence and fearlessness in our women, as they work to re-establish their lives, become employed and become contributing members of society — free from drugs and alcohol,” said Stephanie Sahaida, The 24’s Women’s Coordinator.

The program was created by Adrienne Santaularia, marketing director, after she got to know a resident, Katherine. Katherine lost her own wellness business in the financial crisis of 2007, and then sank into substance abuse and became homeless. She was able to land a job at a local taco shop, so that she could begin the process of rebuilding her life. “A negative life event which caused Katherine’s life to spiral out of control is not uncommon. We witness many women seeking menial jobs because of their low self-worth. Our goal through the Women Empowerment Program is to build our women’s confidence and self-esteem, so that they can positively change every aspect of their lives,” Sahaida said. Dallas 24 Hour Club is grateful to the Dallas Mavericks Foundation for their support of this valued program.

Since 1969, Dallas 24 Hour Club has provided safe, sober transitional living for homeless men and women seeking a brand new life away from drugs and alcohol. Dallas 24 Hour Club is a registered 501(c)(3).

LEADERSHIP

Dallas third-grade teacher wins honor

By Alex Yap Alex_yap@richards.com Adan Gonzalez was named the 2018 winner of the Good Works Under 40 Award. In partnership with The Dallas Morning News, Good Works Under 40 honors up-and-coming leaders who are improving the future of Dallas and inspiring their peers to make a difference.

Gonzalez was honored during an award ceremony hosted by The Dallas Foundation at The Joule on Nov. 7. As part of the recognition, he received a $10,000 donation to the Puede Network, the nonprofit organization he founded and continues to champion.

Puede Network is a youth education and leadership development program that provides comprehensive college access services, volunteer opportunities and mentorship to underprivileged students in inner city public schools.

Gonzalez’s dedication to empowering students is inspired by his own system of mentors and supporters who helped him break the

cycle of poverty.

“This is what Puede Network is about: believing in each other, believing in community and believing in our future,” Gonzalez said.

His parents immigrated from León in Guanajuato, Mexico, and put down roots in south Oak Cliff. He was the first in his family to go to college, and when he arrived at Georgetown University in 2011, he’d moved across the country with his belongings in garbage bags. While a student at Georgetown, Gonzalez began an annual luggage collection drive so future college-bound students from his hometown wouldn’t have to do the same.

Gonzalez graduated from Georgetown with a degree in government and with a minor in education, inquiry and justice while working for the U.S Department of Education and the White House. He then went on to receive his M.Ed. in education policy and management from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2017 before moving back to Dallas

to make an impact in the community that raised him.

Now he’s a third-grade teacher in the same classroom where he once sat.

“I’m walking in the same streets that I grew up in and the same halls where I went to school,” said Gonzalez, whose lessons encourage his students to be bold, confident and disruptive in envisioning what’s possible for their future success.

He also manages a parent, teacher and student-led forum to encourage conversations about difficult topics such as race,

immigration, cultural sensitivity, community engagement, poverty, dignity and respect. Through his position at Dallas ISD and his volunteer work with Puede Network, his efforts have impacted more than 200,000 students and parents around the world.

In addition to Gonzalez’s honor, the four other Good Works Under 40 finalists received grant checks from The Dallas Foundation for their nonprofit agencies: Laura Day, co-founder and board member at United to Learn; Adam Kraus, founder of the Dallas Autumn Ball; Joseph Nguyen, supporter and camp counselor for Muscular Dystrophy Association; and Josh Terry, who serves on the board of governors for Uplift Education. Day was also named the winner of this year’s People’s Choice Award.

“It’s truly energizing to see the impact of these men and women in our community,” said Matthew Randazzo, president and CEO of The Dallas Foundation.

East Dallas Campus of Literacy Achieves helping families become strong, independent and self-sufficient through volunteer-based English literacy programs.

Additionally, the congregation supports The Bridge, Juliette Fowler Communities, It’s My Park Day, Feast of Sharing, The Agape Clinic and more.

EDCC is celebrating its 115th anniversary this month and they want to show their appreciation to the community who has helped make the church the strong force and energy that it has become through the years, fulfilling God’s purpose for this earth.

Saturday, Nov. 17 will be Community Appreciation Day. Open to the community, the celebration will be an

afternoon of free, family fun. Festivities will be held under the big tent next to the Worth Street Community Garden from 2 to 5 p.m.

Sliders, cupcakes and cold drinks will be provided by Gateway Buick GMC. A DJ will keep the party rocking and rolling all afternoon. The Children’s Corner will offer crafts and a safe place to play. Oncor and the Fire Department are bringing big trucks for kids to explore, and a petting zoo will allow “city kids” the opportunity to be up close with animals who live on the farm.

EDCC is located at 629 N. Peak St. Look for the big tent Saturday afternoon, rain or shine.

Seven works acquired from Souls Grown Deep Foundation

than 300 objects in 12 institutions, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, High Museum of Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Ackland Art Museum and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

The fall 2018 acquisitions include a total of 51 objects by 30 primarily female artists.

“Our core mission is to advocate for artists of the African American South represented in our collection. We could not be happier to announce that five additional institutions will now have significant holdings of these artists in their permanent collections.

These acquisitions will broaden the exposure of works by these important American artists among audiences around the country and provide new opportunities for exhibition, research and other partnerships,” said Dr. Maxwell L. Anderson, president of the Foundation.

Works in the DMA acquisition include “Construction of the Victory” (1997) by Thornton Dial (1928-2016), “Awakening” (1996) by Ronald Lockett (1965-1998), “Picking Cotton” by Nellie Mae Rowe (19001982), “Housetop” medallion (2003) by Louisiana Bendolph (1960 - ), “Blocks and strips” (2004) by Mary Lee Bendolph (1935 ), “Bars and strips” (1929) by Amelia Bennett (1914-2002) and “Yo-Yo” (c. 1971) by Annie Mae Young (1928-2013).

bernstein@dma.org The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) has acquired seven works from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation (SGDF) through its museum transfer program, which places works from the foundation’s foremost collection of artworks by artists from the African American South in esteemed institutions around the country. The DMA acquisition, a partial gift/partial purchase from the foundation, includes works by Thornton Dial, Ronald Lockett, Nellie Mae Rowe, and four quilts created by Louisiana Bendolph, Mary Lee Bendolph, Amelia Bennett and Annie Mae Young, women of Gee’s Bend, Ala. These works will be on view at the DMA beginning in April. Dallas collector Marguerite Hoffman has purchased a second Thornton Dial painting, “Two Coats,” from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation and has promised the work to the DMA. “The acquisition of this important group of works advances the DMA’s commitment to engaging audiences with the spectrum of art history and reflecting a wide range of voices in both our collection and programs,” said Dr. Agustín Arteaga, The Eugene McDermott Director of the DMA. “We are grateful to the Souls Grown Deep Foundation for enabling these works to join the Museum’s collection and others across the country, providing opportunities for the public and scholars to discover the work of these significant artists. Additionally, we extend deepest thanks to Marguerite Hoffman, for her continued commitment to strengthening and deepening the DMA’s collection.”

The DMA joins the Brooklyn Museum, The Morgan Library & Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art in the most recent group of museums to acquire works from the Foundation.

Souls Grown Deep Foundation is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to documenting, preserving, exhibiting and promoting the work of artists from the African American South. It holds the largest and foremost collection of works of contemporary African American artists from the Southern U.S., encompassing more than 1,000 works by more than 160 artists, as well as a collection of archival photographs, videos and documents relating to the artists in the collection.

In 2014, the Foundation began to develop opportunities for major museums to add works from its collection. In the past four years, SGDF has placed more

OAK LAWN PARK

Neighbors learn about Park Pavilion

By Adrian Palmer adrian@theparkconservancy.org Freezing temperatures did not deter many Turtle Creek and Uptown neighbors from gathering at the Allman Pavilion on Nov. 10 for The Conservancy’s Mimosa Tour. Attendees gathered under the Allman Pavilion to hear William S. Briggs discuss his thoughtful architectural design.

In 2007, Allie Beth and Pierce Allman gave a generous gift for the construction of the Pavilion. Since then, it has been a beautiful anchor to the southwest corner of the Park.

Guests learned that a wooden pavilion once stood in the Park during the

1940s, not far from where they enjoyed this educational lecture. Gale Sliger, the first Conservancy executive director, William S. Briggs Architect, p.l.l.c, John Armstrong, longtime landscape architect, and Laura and Roy Fleishmann who recall watching the Allman Pavilion being built more than 15 years ago, were among some of the guests.

The Conservancy President and CEO Gay Donnell thanked those who are park supporters and encouraged others to support the care of these 20 acres of urban green space by becoming a member. To get on the list for events, lectures or join The Conservancy, go to www.theparkconservancy.org or call 214-521-2003.
