Legendary quartet worth a million bucks at DSM
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
When music producer Sam Phillips went to work on Dec. 4, 1956, he couldn’t have known that he would forever be recognized by the moniker “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” The legendary founder, record executive and producer of Memphis’ Sun Records was responsible for launching the careers of 20th century music giants Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley. By happenstance, the four 1950s icons would end up together in one recording studio, where Sam Phillips was about to make American music history. “Million Dollar Quartet,” opening at Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) for only three performances, Feb. 27 and 28, tells the story of that momentous occasion that was the first and only time the four sang together. The event
became known as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in history. Playing the role of recording mogul Sam Phillips is Matthew Scott, whose credits include “Spelling Bee,” “1776,” “The Laramie Project” and “The Fantasticks.” Portraying one of music history’s most iconic performers Elvis, Skip Robinson’s got his hands full.

Such questions for those patients who include if you have ever are either symptomatic had a heart attack or
or moderate to high risk of cardiac disease, or those who have a history of known cardiac disease such as myocardial infarction (heart attack) or congestive heart failure, there are several tests that will be required prior to major surgical procedures. These tests include a 12lead EKG, an exercise or pharmacologic (druginduced) stress test or an echocardiogram. If there are abnormalities found on one or more of these studies, a cardiac catheterization may be necessary prior to surgery. This is an invasive procedure in which dye is placed into the blood vessels of the heart and an imaging is performed to determine if there are any blockages. If there are severe blockages present, the patient may require revascularization (bypass surgery) prior to undergoing the original planned surgery. This may seem excessive — to require open heart surgery before getting a hip replacement, but the alternative is less
desirable. This is important information because patients can sometimes get impatient with the process, but remember that we do all these things to prevent bad outcomes. A study by Devereaux et al. was performed on more than 15,000 patients who are greater than 50 years of age having non-cardiac surgery and found that those with evidence of elevation in heart enzymes (which at low elevations could mean cardiac strain or at higher levels represent true heart attacks) occurred in 11.6 percent of patients. That calculates to nearly 2,000 patients. Therefore, I beg you not to get impatient with the process — it is more important to know and prepare than suffer the consequences. Dr. Kimberly Washington, a general surgeon at Highlander Surgical Associates in Arlington, maintains an interest in health education and advocacy.

Recycling is a simple search away @naimajeannette
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “Where can I recycle _______?” From common yogurt containers to hard to recycle Brita filters, it’s a constant battle to figure out how to reduce your waste. Recycling locations often change what they take due to market supply and demand, making it hard to keep up with where to take all of your recyclables. But did you know that there is a recycling search engine with a home base in the DFW area? Earth911.com created a rigorous recycling database with more than 1,800 recycling locations across the DFW Metroplex and several thousand more across the country. Type in any of more than 350 products to find the closest place to recycle your waste. As of early February 2016, the Earth 911 database has serviced more than 319,700 recycling searches this year! With all of these searches, I was curious to find out, what have Dallas residents been searching for in the last three years? The top five recycling searches from Dallas zip codes are: • 5 — Cell phones — which can be recycled at most electronic stores and Target. OUR MISSION
• 4 — CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs) — most Home Depot stores accept CFLs and, of course, our friends at RecycleRevolution. com do as well. • 3 — Car batteries — Firestone and Sam’s Club accept car batteries. • 2 — Christmas trees — Photo by Naima Montacer The City of Dallas collects Chase Ezell, managing editor for trees after the holidays at Earth911.com, shows the sliding door, Home Depot stores in town. made from re-purposed bleacher seats. • 1 — The number one item content on a variety of categothat Dallas residents conduct a ries, from home and garden recycling search on is something to events and entertainment, that can go in our blue curbside to encourage readers to live a bins … cardboard!

By staying at North Carolina for another year and playing for Bunting, Peppers became the number two overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft and is a ninetime Pro Bowl team selection. Bunting focuses solely on getting defensive players ready for the NFL. Three years ago, Bunting tutored a raw linebacker out of Boston College named Luke Kuechly. “I did work with him for six weeks in Bradenton, Fla.,” Bunting said. Bradenton is the home of the IMG Academy, specializing in sports training. The 500-acre campus has an elaborate training facility focused on strength and conditioning for amateur and professional athletes. New York City-based IMG is a renowned sports and talent management company and represents some of the most famous sports personalities and entertainers in the world. Kuechly became the ninth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He won the AP 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award and in 2013 became the youngest recipient of the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award. “The game has changed for the better,” Bunting said. “I think it is safer than ever, despite the controversy over concussions. Protocol must be served, which is really, really good.” Bunting estimates he had at least two concussions in college and a few others in the pros. He blames see MULL on page 10

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see all manner of individuals engaged in the widest possible variety of activities, for many different reasons, taking advantage of unusual opportunities that seemed to arise from out of nowhere. This means that everyone must be ready and willing to take action when it is appropriate rather than waiting for just the "right" moment, for such a moment isn't ever likely to appear! There are risks involved in such an approach, but the potential for gain far outweighs any possibility of personal or professional setback — and everyone has something to gain! Not everyone will want to go it alone, nor should they. Indeed, it will be possible to take full advantage of many of these opportunities only in close collaboration with others. More than mere teamwork may be required. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Your ability to make sense out of the nonsensical will certainly come in handy. Others marvel at your mental acrobatics! (March 6-March 20) – What you are facing may require a bit more gravitas than you usually exhibit — but it can be mustered, surely. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Those around you are grateful
for your ability to see both sides of a tricky issue. Your unique perspective helps many. (April 5-April 19) – You may have to search far and wide for just the right tool needed to complete a certain job. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Though the sample size may still be small, you can still come to an accurate conclusion about a new team member's contributions. (May 6-May 20) – Take the time to appreciate something unusual and highly beneficial that happens to you. You needn't always be on the move. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may not be as skilled as someone else on your team, but your contribution is every bit as valuable to the overall effort. Don't be self-critical. (June 7-June 20) – You're excited about a new project that is about to begin — and the process of readying yourself is fun, to boot! CANCER (June 21-July 7) There are certain dangers that you cannot avoid, but you've accepted that they are necessary given what you are trying to accomplish. (July 8-July 22) – You're more willing to do something the hard way than those around you; don't insist
that they follow in your footsteps. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You've got to complete a task that benefits others before you can focus on an endeavor that is for you alone. Prioritize. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – What goes on around you may be highly unusual, but it makes you smile nonetheless. You are in an appreciative mood. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) As the week opens, you may find yourself at a loss. Later on, you'll come to an important understanding and get back on track. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You may feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work you have to get done. Just take it one step at a time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You'll derive inspiration from an unusual source. Someone looking over your shoulder keeps you going when things get tough. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You're likely to forge a bond with someone whose attitude and approach are very different from your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You know better than anyone what you're capable of, yet you are

Glucosamine, chondroitin and silica in the orthosilicic form have shown support for cartilage thickness, repair and to support joint lubrication formation in studies. Researchers at Harvard have also identified molecules responsible for the activation of white cells known as macrophages to clean up after the immune response, help end the immune response and get the tissues back to a healthy state. These molecules are called Specialized Pro Resolving Mediators (SPM’s). They have now been isolated from fish oils, concentrated and are available in supplemental form. SPM human clinical trials are in progress and have had positive results showing improvement in joint pain, mobility and reduced inflammatory markers. Stay healthy and I’ll see you on the trail!

VINTAGE cont'd from page 1 in high school. Bowen House is nostalgic. This place is about history.” Heidari, who grew up in Dallas and studied at Dallas Lutheran High School, was also learning the restaurant business. “I grew up in the business,” Heidari said. “It was the business of my father, my uncle, everyone in the family. But none of the old men wanted us to be in the business. [Growing up] they would give us the worst jobs so we could see how bad it was.” His father owns the popular Arthur’s (now in Addison after a number of Dallas locations) and St. Martin’s on Lower Greenville Avenue. Another uncle owns Old Warsaw on Maple Avenue. Before he opened Bowen House in March 2014, Heidari honed in on what he wanted to do next while working at the Kennedy Room. “It all started at Kennedy Room,” Heidari said. “Kennedy Room
was not my place; Kennedy Room was my uncle’s place. We just worked on the idea of a small bar together. So I jumped at it. It was the first deal on my own away from the family. “I did it solely on the vision that I wanted something that was neighborhoodlike, and I wanted something classy,” Heidari said. “I wanted a hotel bar that wasn’t in a hotel. Really, I wanted a bar and steakhouse without the steakhouse. I just wanted to focus on the bar.” The inside is a tribute to Dallas history. The specialty cocktails include libations like the Razzmatazz (gin, framboise, black tea, lemon and soda), Corn ‘n’ Oil (rum, falernum, lime and Angostura bitters), the El Diablo (tequila, cassis, lime and ginger beer) and the Blackberry Julep (bourbon, mint, blackberry and sugar). The bar opens at 4 p.m. and has a $5 cocktail happy hour from 4-7 p.m. Valet parking is available on Howland Street.
Opening a modern speakeasy in the already saturated and constantly changing Uptown area — where bars and restaurants come and go like the McKinney Avenue Trolley — provides a challenge. “Since the restaurant businesses are the anchor tenants of Uptown,” Heidari said, “the bigger it gets, the less of a neighborhood it becomes. But if we take care of ourselves it won’t be a problem. I don’t know if people see it when they walk in, but it is just a beautiful bar. “The reason why Bowen House came about is not because I wanted to make it club,” Heidari said, “I wanted a sexy neighborhood bar. I want people to feel welcome. I want to keep the integrity of the building. It’s just not a place to go out. I want people to know that it was the first house built in Uptown, and that there was a history here before. Greenwood Cemetery is down the street. The history is unbelievable.”
SIMPLE cont'd from page 4 from reclaimed milk container packaging, and my favorite, huge sliding doors created from repurposed school bleachers. A large conference room catches your eye as you walk in, with a table base structured from huge rubber tires, a garage door and other repurposed materials donated from clients. The interior of the building was spacious and bright with overhead skylights providing much of the light, saving on electricity, and low flow water fixtures are used throughout. As Earth 911 and Quest Resource Management Group pursue two Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications, they may have to rethink the commute for their 114 total employees. Located in The Colony, the public transportation is limited, so adding a bike rack and incentives for employees to carpool can make their footprint even smaller. Since these two businesses are surrounded by big warehouses not known for their sustainability efforts, I hope their sustainable initiatives influence their neighbors and beyond to make small changes for the environment.

This month serves as a reminder that your relationship should take priority. Chocolate, flowers and a nice dinner are all very nice, but they just don’t last long. There are things you can do that will serve you both individually and as a couple all year round.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
The Theodore carries a big taste to the mall By Sara Newberry Mall food, traditionally, veers more towards the “fast food” variety. Sometimes you’ll find a sitdown restaurant; often the servers are festooned with “flair,” and the offerings tend more toward burgers or pizza. But NorthPark is not a traditional mall, and The Theodore is not a traditional mall restaurant. You will find a burger here, and you will find pizza. But the pizza will be topped with house-made sausage, and the burger will be served on a freshly baked sweet yeast roll. You’ll also find exquisite salads, generous sandwiches and American classics such as Beef Wellington. The restaurant’s name and atmosphere were inspired by Theodore Roosevelt. Tables are wrapped in iron, quotes adorn several walls of the dining room, and there is a “study” lined with shelves holding artifacts and objects d’art. Servers are dressed simply in button-down shirts and jeans; there is not a speck of flair in sight. There is a masculine formality to the space, somehow rugged and elegant at the same time, much like its namesake. The menu has a similar feel. While I wouldn’t describe any of the dishes we sampled as “fussy,” there is an attention to detail that makes it clear no element has gone unconsidered. Take the salads. On paper, the Roasted Pear salad seems very simple, just roasted pears, phyllo, caramelized honey vinaigrette and bitter greens. But the sweet, tart and bitter flavors add up to a very satisfying whole. The Olympia salad takes it even further, incorporating bacon, lavender vinaigrette and peanut brittle into the mix. It’s not to be missed. Another must-try are the Meatballs, Tomato Sauce and Garlic Bread. Again, it sounds simple, but the meatballs are perfectly seasoned and cooked (and covered in melted cheese), the sauce is possibly the best marinara I’ve had, and the garlic bread is golden brown and buttery, with just the right amount of garlic. Those meatballs are also part of one of the several pizzas on offer, which also feature toppings ranging from house-made sausage to pesto chicken, as well as a “build your own” option. I tried the Mushroom and Sausage one and was not disappointed. It’s not the sauce- and cheeserich version you’ll find at most pizzerias; the toppings themselves are the star here. The crust is thin, crisp and perfectly browned. The Italian influence continues in the Roasted Pork Grinder on Ciabatta. Topped with broccoli rabe, preserved lemon and spicy aioli, it’s

The Crab Louie at The Theodore. reminiscent of the classic grinder from DiNic’s in Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market. The menu also features several American classics that were popularized in the 1950s and enjoyed a resurgence in the 1980s: Catalina salad, Crab Louie and Beef Wellington all spark culinary nostalgia and are also whimsical nods to an earlier era of American fine dining. Ordering Crab Louie made me feel like I should have been at a garden club luncheon wearing my grandmother’s pearls and a Chanel suit. In any case, it was a light, yet satisfying meal with a beautiful presentation, including a classic vandyked lemon. There were a couple of missteps during my visits to The Theodore. The Theodore Burger, while perfectly cooked, was underseasoned. It was an adequate burger but didn’t live up to the standard set by the other dishes we tried. A Dark Chocolate Tart was also a bit of a letdown. The presentation was gorgeous, with a sprinkle of crushed brittle and a quenelle of chocolate mousse, but the flavor was not as intense as I needed it to be. I much preferred the Crab Apple Toffee Cake, which featured a roasted crab apple perched upon a moist cylinder of cake and drizzled in buttery toffee sauce. The Theodore is more than an upscale mall restaurant: it’s an upscale restaurant that just happens to be in a mall. And that’s a pretty big distinction.

Soup is the call at Stocks & Bondy By Dotty Griffith
Dotty.griffith@yahoo.com For years the mushroom soup at The Grape Restaurant on Lower Greenville has been my gold standard. Still is, but watch out. Here comes Stocks & Bondy in The Market food hall and artisal vendor building at the Dallas Farmers Market. Photos by courtesy of Stocks & Bondy Chef Joanne Bondy makes a mushroom Stocks & Bondy Mushroom Soup. soup that is as hearty and rustic as The Grape’s soup is ethereal and refined. Both are delicious yet very different. Stocks & Bondy potage begs to be served in stoneware, while The Grape’s bisque sits best in bone china. Both are best of breed. Bondy concentrates on house-made stocks and sauces for homes and restaurants. She also makes soups, sandwiches and other entrees, including braised meats for take-away. Hot soups are served Wednesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mushroom soup is one of her standouts. Add stock and mushrooms. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mushrooms are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. In blender jar or food processor work bowl, process soup in batches until smooth. Return blended soup to saucepan and add balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, white pepper and cream. Bring to a boil. Immediately lower heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally so cream doesn’t burn or stick. Season with salt to taste. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

MOVIE TRAILER
Enter ‘Room’ and find an understated movie masterpiece
By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
Most of the movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar have had moderate to massive success at the box office. It is a common occurrence for one or two to slip through the cracks and not be seen by as many people as it deserves. Of this year’s Best Picture nominees, “Room” fits into that category. This small in scale, yet emotionally massive film, has barely made a dent in Photos courtesy of A24 Films ticket sales. This is borderline Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson give masterful performances. criminal as “Room” is nothing short of a masterpiece. Nick (Sean Bridgers), who brings them food The premise of “Room” is, by itself, harand supplies. Thankfully, “Room” is essentially rowing. Ma/Joy (Brie Larson) lives with her told through Jack’s eyes and what happens to five-year-old son, Jack (Jacob Tremblay), in a Ma during Old Nick’s visits remains off-screen. tiny enclosure (which they call “room”) that is During his visits, Ma hides Jack away in a tiny locked down from the outside world. They eke wardrobe so he never sees their captor, and out survival while sharing a bed, one sink, a toi- “Room” smartly avoids putting any of this on let and a tiny kitchen. Initially, it’s not known screen, as it would only make an unbearable how or why they became prisoners in this tersituation that much more difficult to watch. rifying “world,” but the reasons are revealed to This is one of the truly brilliant decisions the viewer once Ma believes that Jack is ready to made by director Lenny Abrahamson and learn the truth about their situation. screenwriter Emma Donoghue, who based the Ma and Jack are visited once a week by Old screenplay on her own novel. As the first hour
of “Room” progresses, it becomes agonizingly apparent what is going on, and Abrahamson makes the correct decision to make the unbearable somewhat bearable. The tension is already ratcheted up to extreme levels and putting these atrocities on screen would seem cheap and exploitative. There is no reason to go into plot developments any further as it would ruin one of the most suspenseful sequences, but it is safe to say that the second half of “Room” becomes a fascinating journey detailing Ma and Jack’s life. Which of these two people would recover and adjust to the real world outside their “room?” The developments are not only honest, but absorbing. While “Room” has raked in a load of award nominations and wins, there is one aspect of it that has been inexplicably ignored. Yes, Brie Larson carries a massive amount of emotional and physical heft for its entire 118 minute runtime, but Jacob Tremblay is actually the focal point and centerpiece of the entire film. The credit is overwhelming due to Donoghue’s brilliant screenplay, which calls for an internal thought monologue from Tremblay’s Jack. Tremblay not only has to be the youngest actor of all time (only nine years old) to record a narration for a movie, they are heart-wrenching and make more logical sense than the thoughts of an adult would.

History made with ‘Vikings’ By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net It’s one thing to launch a new cable network or streaming venue amid all the hundreds now available. It’s quite another to actually “arrive” with a signature series that both gets viewers into your tent and whets their appetites for more. HBO didn’t really arrive until “Sex and the City” did in 1998. A half-year later came “The Sopranos,” cementing the premium cable network as an enduring Photo courtesy of History destination for Emmy-caliber Gustaf Skarsgård as Floki. programming. on Thursday, Feb. 18 at FX first branded 9 p.m. Knowing what it itself with “The Shield” has, History isn’t messand now has an arsenal ing around.

initial four episodes available for review. At the end of Season 3, Ragnar was near death after two epic attacks on a treasure-laden Paris kingdom. Early in Season 4, he’s still looking like a goner after the Vikings return to their home base of Kattegat. This prompts some scheming on the part of his second wife, Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland), and other powerseekers. But Ragnar isn’t about to expire, of course. Because “Vikings” otherwise would die along with him. Unfortunately, Season 4 mostly will be without the soulful Christian priest Athelstan (George Blagden), who at least is still available via visions to his friend Ragnar and others. Athelstan otherwise was murdered at the end of Season 3 by sneaky, crazy Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård). Equally duplicitous is Ragnar’s ambitious, turncoat brother, Rollo (Clive Standen), who has remained in Paris after taking some big bribes. Also again figuring prominently in Season 4 are Ragnar’s ex-wife, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), and their strapping son, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), who in the first batch of episodes has a frozen, solitary sojourn reminiscent of Leonardo DiCaprio’s in “The Revenant.” “Vikings” occasionally loses its footing early in Season 4. But it remains a fully imagined, captivating world unto itself on a network that needed a weekly series to grow on and clearly has one.

the early days of artificial turf, like that at Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium and other multi-purpose stadiums, for head injuries. “It was like a hockey player bouncing his head on the ice,” Bunting said. “The game is faster,” Bunting said. “The game is stronger as far as a player’s strength and conditioning. Their diets are examined upside down and inside out. If you are not capable of following the discipline of your diet and your strength and conditioning parts of your football program, you are making a big mistake. You are probably not going play long. “I had a player that ate himself out of the league,” Bunting said. “He was the number one draft pick of Kansas City. He played for me at 295 pounds and went to camp at 320. He never recovered.” Today’s game uses the entire field, and that is what Bunting focuses on with his defensive prospects. “It is a game that is played a lot more in space,” Bunting said. “What I mean is that the game is attack.

his imaginary pet dog, the delivery and writing is so perfect that only those with a cold, dead heart will be without tears. Tremblay is flat out unreal and if he was given an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, there should have been no complaints, and it is almost wrong that he was ignored. There are a few guaranteed winners at this year’s Oscars. It is 99.9 percent safe to dump a paycheck on whatever odds you can get for Brie Larson’s Best Actress win. Her star has steadily been on the rise and her performance in “Short Term 12” was vastly overlooked, but with “Room,” she has put one of the most emotionally taxing, yet understated performances on film in recent memory. This could easily have devolved into over the top melodrama, but there isn’t a false note out of Larson for even one millisecond of “Room.” If the Academy has already saved time by etching “Leonardo DiCaprio” on a Best Actor trophy, they should go ahead and do so for Brie Larson for Best Actress as well. “Room” is a psychological suspense thriller with some crime drama elements, but at its core, is a story about what a mother will do to protect her son. It is crafted with such splendid delicacy that it allows an emotionally taxing tale to be viewed more than once. “Room” is uplifting even at its most dire moments, never resorts to cheap tricks that beg for your tears and simply cannot be missed. have to be a lot more ‘actual’ and have a better change of direction. Instincts are important and what kind of football you played in college is important. Some colleges play a high tempo, high energy game. So these players I am working with now have not worked on the finer techniques like change of direction, knowing exactly where you need to aim, being part of a solid tackle.” Bunting played on the Dick Vermeilcoached Eagles team that lost to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV in New Orleans. “There is no other person — other than my family — that has had a bigger impact on my life than Dick Vermeil,” Bunting said. “He said ‘we are going to win. I don’t know when we are going to win, and it is going to be hard, but we are going to win.’” Vermeil had one other mantra. “We have to beat the Cowboys.” Next stop for Bunting, when he returns from celebrating his 25th anniversary with his wife in Key West, are the pro auditions for Shipman’s new clients. He will be there preaching his new school learning based on his old school experience.
WORKOUT cont'd from page 5 you can place your left foot on the ground, but be sure to keep your hip up and in line with your body. Hold the position for the full 30 seconds and switch sides. Station #4 — Pop squats. Start with your legs shoulder-width apart. You’re going to complete a squat, making sure to keep your back straight and knees in proper alignment. As you straighten back up, pop yourself up and land with your feet together before quickly jumping back out to the starting position. Staggered pushups. For this workout you’re going to need a medicine ball or anything that can be stacked up to elevate you up off the ground. Place one hand on the ball and the other on the ground, and have your knees rest on the ground. Lower yourself down into a pushup and then switch sides. Repeat. Station #5 — Bicep curls. All you need is some dumbbells or weights in each hand. Stand up straight and tall with your arms at your sides. Lift one arm up so that your elbow is bent and the dumbbell is at shoulder height. Lower your arm and repeat with the other side. Cross sit-ups. For this one you’re going to start in a sit-up position, with your feet flat on the ground and legs bent. As you sit up you’re going to twist your body to the side so that your right elbow touches your left knee. Return to the starting position and alternate sides repeatedly. Burn out: man makers. Now that you’ve completed the five stations it’s time for a 60-second burn out. This exercise combines several different workouts into one for maximum fat burning, be sure to push yourself hard for this one. Make sure you have your dumbbells for this. Start by standing with your legs shoulder-width apart and hold your dumbbells at shoulder height with elbows bent. Lower yourself into a squat and as you come up push your arms straight above your head and add a small bounce. Quickly you’re going to go down into a pushup position with the dumbbells remaining in your hands. Pull your right arm back, bending the elbow, making sure to bring your hand up to your side. Repeat with the left arm. Drop down to your knees and complete a pushup. Quickly hop back up to the starting position and repeat for the full 60 seconds. Don’t forget to cool down! Make sure to take the time to stretch out all of your muscles, including your legs, hips, arms and shoulders to make sure your muscles don’t become cramped.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL
Commuting in Dallas has changed throughout the years
By Wayne Swearingen
Starting in the 70s, several big construction booms In 1960, I moved occurred in cycles to Dallas and worked throughout 45 years. at Allstate Insurance We are near the end Company for two years of a cycle today. DFW in their new offices on Airport opened in the the NEW Stemmons early 70s, then the LBJ Freeway. I lived in an Freeway, and the outer efficiency apartment loops and state Highway at Lovers Lane and 121, the Dallas North Lomo Alto Drive. My Wayne Swearingen Tollway and mass trannight job was selling sit (DART). Corporate homes for a developer in relocations first to Las Lancaster. When I entered the real Colinas, then with state Highway estate business, I lived in Irving, of121, which is now a tollway, corporate ficed in downtown Dallas and flew consolidations to far North Dallas, my plane for business out of Redbird Richardson, Plano and Frisco. or Addison Airports. The point of Now, with all the job creation far this is that everything then was a north, if you live in Uptown as we do, 15-20 minute drive. There was no your commute to the northern subDallas North Tollway, and the LBJ urbs in rush hour is about an hour Freeway was just a future dream. each way and dangerous. A one-hour
commute to Texans is unacceptable. Texans could not live without their horse, then their car. The result will be new walkable, mixed use neighborhoods out north and west, all trying to re-create West Village and Katy Trail. I have studied the Uptown and West Village phenomenon. The buzzword “walkable” is overused today. A true walkable neighborhood must include services such as drugs and groceries. In Uptown, young people walk and CARRY GROCERIES HOME. In December, I visited with a California consultant and several companies in California, all with an eye on locating operations to North Texas. With my partner, Jim Nelms under our new flag Olympus Strategies, we are fortunate to be working with some large users, landowners and developers. Some of the
development projects will target not just this cycle but also the next. In studying the traffic patterns mentioned above and projecting where new development should occur to mesh with these patterns, I have some observations. Legacy West may be one of the finest planned corporate centers, but it lacks mass transit, which serves Las Colinas, Richardson and Uptown. Use of mass transit and reverse commutes are inevitable. Not everyone will be working from home. I expect and welcome push-back and calls on this subject. Now, to the far north. Three of our current assignments involve Frisco developments. For those of you who, like me, live in the inner city (Uptown), it is a real eye opener to travel north and see what is going on in Lewisville, Richardson, Plano, Frisco and soon Prosper. How far

north will we develop? Oklahoma? At what point do I need to “pack a bag?” Again, the question is HOW FAR WILL WORKERS COMMUTE? There will be an office development soon out near state Highway 380. Some companies will locate in value buildings there and quickly be surrounded by rooftops and services. Those areas north are all developing faster than Las Colinas did, and it is much further from Dallas proper. In summary, 50 years ago, companies often located close to where the Big Boss lived. Now, management must decide on the ideal workforce and locate close by so we are back to the 15-20 minute commute.
