Be part of a birthday ritual

On Saturday, a major artery in Dallas will be taken over by a throng of bead catching, beer drinking, Jell-O shot tossing revelers as the rowdy, loud and proud annual Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day parade celebrates its 35th year. And that doesn’t include the folks than inhabit the more than 100 floats. Floats are banned from tossing alcoholic beverages into the crowd. The parade begins at 11 a.m. Title-sponsored by the Dallas Mavericks, more than 100,000 spectators are expected to line the sidewalks from Blackwell Street to SMU Boulevard along upper Greenville Avenue. Once known for raucous and raunchy behavior, the parade has made an effort to become much more family friendly focused. No floats representing adult entertainment establishments are allowed, and hot spots noted for heavy drinking have been eliminated. “The biggest change over the last few years is that we have rebranded the parade and tried to change the image of it from a drunk fest to a more family oriented and traditional type parade,” Tommy

City’s first celebrity chef toasted, not roasted By Dotty Griffith

dottykgriffith@gmail.com Ewald Scholz was celebrated as Dallas first celebrity chef recently. Friends and colleagues in the restaurant community gathered to roast and toast “the gentleman chef” at the Crescent Club. The event was organized by Dallas members of the Texas Chefs Association (TCA). There was a lot of

toasting, not so much roasting. Scholz was lauded as chef-owner of Ewald’s Continental Cuisine on Lovers Lane where the restaurant enjoyed an 18 and a half year run beginning in May 1968. He also lent his name and talent to Ewald’s at The Stoneleigh (Hotel) for 13 years. In his own words, “Thirty-two years is not bad for Dallas.” Chef Dean Fearing praised Scholz as a

pioneer of fine dining in Dallas. Chef Kent Rathbun of Abacus and Jasper’s recognized Scholz’s many contributions to the industry and the city. Chef Pete Nolasco, president of the Dallas chapter of TCA, held up Scholz as an example for today’s chefs of hard work meeting talent. Among Scholz’s other accomplishments: He was the first culinary director of the chef school at El Centro College when it opened in 1966. Joe LaBarba of FreshPoint food service distributor recalled that Ewald “had the first open kitchen in Dallas” at a time when

Ninety percent of respondents to a Vital Smarts survey said that at least once a week their friends or family stopped paying attention to them while using digital devices. According to a survey of smartphone users, a whopping 67 percent of people check email or the Internet while they’re on a date. What message are you sending when you tune your companion out to focus on your phone? To increase your productivity and improve your relationships: Use the 20-minute rule. Instead of switching back and forth between several tasks every minute, Nass recommends that you focus on just one project for at least 20 minutes before changing gears. By doing so, you will be more productive. Check your email a few scheduled times per day and turn off your email notifications the rest of the time. Studies show that the average professional spends almost 25 percent of the day emailing.

Researchers examined what happened when 13 workers stopped using email for five days. The workers were less stressed without email contact, and they focused on one task for longer periods of time. Most of us can’t avoid email altogether, but we can take steps to control our email rather than letting it control us. Turn off your mobile devices while you’re spending time with your children, spouse or friends. Make eye contact and really listen to what the other person is saying — verbally and non-verbally. Doing so shows that you care about and value that person. Eliminate or limit distractions. Turn off your phone and email notification while you’re working on a project or driving. Turn off the television while you’re writing your report. You’ll probably make fewer mistakes and save time. I certainly want all of my IQ points working for me.

PARADE cont'd from page 1 sponsor area in the CVS parking lot (at Lovers Lane).” The CVS parking lot, now secured by the parade committee, has long been a spot for excessive drinking and outlandish behavior. More than 200 police officers are employed by the parade organizers to monitor the parade route. “We are trying to eliminate the problem areas and trying to make it a more family friendly parade,” Donahue said. “We still could not do the parade without Mark Cuban’s help, but we are at a point now where it appears where we’ll make money. That is because we were able to bring in smaller

sponsors because of the family zone and things like that. We are getting there.” The parade has raised more than $72,000 for the Dallas Independent School District earmarked for scholarships. George Riba, recently retired sports reporter/anchor for WFAA 8, will serve as the grand marshal. In addition to the parade, three other events will take place that are not affiliated with the parade: an 8 a.m. “Dash Down Greenville 5K” begins at Central Market on Lovers Lane; a noon concert at Energy Square features Josh Abbott Band; and an afternoon street party on lower Greenville Avenue at Goodwin Avenue.

Commish a quick change artist Let the largest playoff series begin

Rob Manfred is the new commissioner of Major League Baseball. So far, he has come into the office with a briefcase full of changes and quick fixes for immediate consideration. All are worthy of contemplation and discussion but not much more, because basically there is one overriding factor. Baseball is not broken. Ask any sports fan of their first memory as a youth regarding sports, and chances are they will not reminisce about the first time they walked through a NFL parking lot full of drunken fans and broken bottles breathing in the smells of barbeque ribs and urine. It won’t be about walking into a half empty arena 15 minutes before NBA game time, while players are stretching their hamstrings and gluteus to be able to properly carry their bloated wallets in their back pockets without pulling a muscle. I doubt it will be the first time they saw a fight draw blood at a NHL hockey game, where a five-minute penalty on the ice is five years in prison on the streets. And God forbid, it would be the first time they saw the referee spray antiseptic on the canvas inside of the cage at a MMA match. Chances are, a child’s first memory of sports is a baseball game. It is the smell of the green grass and the beautifully-kept surroundings. The civility of the crowd clad in uniforms and ball caps. You remember the opportunity to root for your favorite player on the home team or see that superstar up

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wants to make baseball games shorter.

close from the away team. You might catch a foul ball or a home run, or snag an autograph. You watch fielding practice and batting practice and the final preparation of the diamond before game time. The watering of the dirt and the chalking of the lines before the first pitch seems so serene, yet builds up the anticipation. No loud music or laser light shows, just the calm of the field being prepared fairly and evenly. A ballpark is the only place that plays organ music other than a church. But the new commissioner is worried that the game is too long to captivate the attention of today’s children, and more importantly, capture the attention of the video game generation. Along with length of an average game — shorter than a NFL game by the way — he believes that more offense is needed. It appears he wants “Arena Baseball,” like Arena Football that shortened the football field, sped up play and relied on offense to attract (few) fans. “The issue of attracting a younger audience,” Manfred told AP, “and a pace of game is related.” Manfred is looking at instituting a pitcher’s (or

batter’s) clock in the outfield. That is not necessary. Umpires just must enforce the rules where a pitcher must pitch and a hitter must hit. And if umpires were held by the true strike zone — letters to knees — instead of their own interpretation, there would be less walks, more balls in play and quicker games. He has talked of reducing the number of games from 162 to 154. That’s fine, but less revenue for teams mean less money for the players, which the Player’s Union won’t accept that proposal. And less games means higher ticket prices for the fans and that is simply unacceptable. The American League has the designated hitter (DH) and the National League does not. That is stupid. I hate the DH, but it is now taught through Little League to high school to college to the minor leagues. In spring training this year, National League teams playing each other are using the DH. Either implement it in both leagues or get rid of it. Unify leagues with the DH and baseball will see more offense. Eliminate the DH and the Player’s

show love and care in Dallas

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – SPCA

Providing shelters, loving homes for animals and spay/neuter clinics in our area for decades.

By Sally Blanton

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.

QW hat is your mission or highest

purpose? The SPCA of Texas is dedicated to providing every animal exceptional care and a loving home. The SPCA of Texas is the leading animal welfare agency in North Texas with two shelters and three spay/neuter clinics located in Dallas and McKinney and provide an array of programs and services.

WE’VE INVESTED IN MEDICAL TALENT, FACILITIES AND RESEARCH FOR DECADES. BUT PATIENTS ARE OUR REAL INVESTMENT. More than 1,100 physicians on the medical staff. Advanced medical technology. Nearly 5,000 health care workers. All at Baylor Dallas. All dedicated to just one purpose: giving the 300,000 people we serve each year quality care — and outcomes. The return we get is immeasurable. BAYLORHEALTH.COM/DALLAS or call 1.800.4BAYLOR

Changing Health Care. For Life. Physicians provide clinical services as members of the medical staff at one of Baylor Scott & White Health’s subsidiary, community or affiliated medical centers and do not provide clinical services as employees or agents of those medical centers, Baylor Health Care System, Scott & White Healthcare or Baylor Scott & White Health. ©2015 Baylor Scott & White Healhcare. BUMCD_957_2015 CE 02.15

Q H ow many clients are served each year?

e SPCA of Texas provided more than A Th

6,500 families with a new, loving fourlegged friend in 2014. We admitted more than 9,000 animals into our shelter, too. In addition, our veterinarians performed more than 11,000 spay/neuter surgeries, as well as provided clinical care for more than 23,000 patients.

QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations?

e are always looking for volunteers in AW

the community to provide our animals with the care that they need. We also update a wish list on Amazon. spca.org/ shelterwishlist

QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the

calendar? Our 10th Annual Strut Your Mutt is just around the corner! On May 16, we’re strutting across the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Strutters will meet at 9 a.m. at Trinity Groves, at the base of the bridge. $35 includes food and a T-shirt. Kiddos 11 years old or younger are free. Register at spca.org/strutyourmutt.

QW hat is your facility like?

We operate two shelters and

three clinics in Dallas and McKinney. Our state-of-the-art Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center opened in 2011 and is truly a beautiful sight to see. Our picturesque Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center sits on 30 acres of land. In addition to dogs, cats and small mammals, this shelter cares for our adoptable horses, donkeys and other livestock.

QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?

e invite volunteers to do anything from AW walking dogs to counseling adopters to even going on our rescues. There are also administration duties and post-surgical animal care.

Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who always goes beyond the call of duty.

e group of students from the Notre A Th

Dame School. Each Tuesday about five students come to help out. They truly are a fantastic group of kids.

QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?

A P roviding the public with a place to sur-

render their animals is incredibly important, but what is even better is finding that animal a loving home. Providing homeless animals with a safe haven whether they’ve been surrendered, transferred or rescued is probably the most important thing that we do.

QW hat is difficult about your job?

A T rying to meet the needs of all the animals

and people we serve. Due to limited funds, we have to be very strategic with our efforts to make the most impact.

QW hat is rewarding about

your job? I would say seeing the faces of the people and animals we impact along with working alongside a remarkable group of dedicated staff and volunteers.

James Bias, president of SPCA at Texas, answered this week’s questions.

The more informed you are, the better decisions you can make. 2. Get out for a hike in the city. Take a look on the City of Dallas Parks and Recreation interactive map of parks at dallasparks.org. There are parks everywhere. My secret spot is the backside of Harry Moss Park. Park on the side of road at Arborside Road and explore the windy trails through thick forest mixed with open fields. Or try out the secret spot I haven’t made it to yet, Dragon Park. Located at 3520 Cedar Springs Road, I hear it’s a small green hidden unique park with gargoyles, angels, fairies and dragon statues. It is a perfect small park for a lunch picnic. 1. Let the intricate weaving of a spider web or precise honeycomb of a beehive inspire your work. Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that studies nature’s models and then uses these designs and processes to solve human problems, create products and policies. It is basically copying Mother Nature to improve our efficiency or enhance our lives. Popular examples are swim suits designed for speed based off of overlapping shark scales, low energy heating and cooling buildings designed using termite mound structure, and velcro for which inspiration from seed burrs. Take the time to be present and look for nature in unexpected places. It could very well be that creative push you need.

The coming week is likely to require an increased level of awareness — of internal processes and rhythms, as well as external forces and influences. These inward and outward elements of one's energy and experience will combine in interesting and perhaps wholly unexpected ways, demanding, in a sense, "eyes in the back of one's head," so that nothing important is missed and everything finds its proper place in the landscape of perception. Knowing what is going on is only half the battle, of course; much depends on an individual's ability to separate the wheat from the chaff and build reserves that can be used in lean times, when things are not so clear. Pride can be a danger this week; anyone who is too willing to believe the good things that are said about him or her runs the risk of increasing personal vulnerability — for there are always those who would like to knock such individuals off of their pedestals. Remember: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You'll be watching the world pass by from a safe and comfortable perch during the first part of the week. What lessons can you learn? (March 6-March 20) – You'll be engaged in a team sport that demands the utmost in etiquette and consideration.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may find yourself traveling an unfamiliar road, but someone who is by your side can help you navigate around hazards. (April 5-April 19) – You may realize that something completely unexpected is going on between you and a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Your eagerness to prove yourself may actually work against you as you expose yourself to one or two unnecessary risks. (May 6-May 20) – You can capitalize on a mistake made by someone who is trying to go too fast. What is to be learned, and how can you avoid the same fate? GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may be sorry to see a certain personal phase come to an end, but excited to see it replaced by one that holds much promise. (June 7-June 20) – The more you practice with others, the sooner the whole team will begin working like a welloiled machine. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may have much to do to please someone who is expecting something special. You know how to do what you must! (July 8-July 22) – Random events affect you

profoundly. Some may actually have you stepping up your creative efforts and exploring new options. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be one of the last to fit yourself into a situation that favors what you have to offer. Those who come behind you will have trouble. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – A message that comes to you through unconventional channels must be heard, digested and acted upon immediately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You mustn't let another's words of warning keep you from exploring what is laid out before you. A bold approach can work! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Someone who is getting closer to you may be asking more than you can give, but that may change very soon. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) On with the show! You've prepared fully and considered what you will do if asked to engage in an extended run. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You're no beginner, but it may seem as though you're experiencing certain things for the very first time. SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov. 7) The curtain may rise on a scene

Copyright 2015 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. that you have assembled with great care, though there are certain variables that you can't control. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – As one thing fades from view, you'll begin to notice something on the horizon that carries with it much more potential. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Take care that you don't let envy control you. Sure, you admire what another has done, but maintain a positive view. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – It's time for you to get what you deserve, and you can make things happen that satisfy you on many different levels. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) No rainfall is going to keep you from doing what you've planned so carefully — and for so long. You can weather any storm! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be anticipating a trouble-free week, but as the weekend approaches, things may seem to jump the track — if only briefly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Sorrows should be few. The joys you experience as a result of doing what you do best can erase almost any negative feelings. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may have pushed yourself to the limit recently, but you'll have a chance to replenish those stores of energy and enthusiasm.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Majestic is exactly what Henry's is!

By Sara Newberry There are always those locations that seem doomed. Where even though, on paper, everything seems to work, for some reason no business succeeds. 4900 McKinney Ave. seems to be that kind of space. In the past few years, Cretia’s (which is now located on West Davis Street in Oak Cliff) and Acme Food & Beverage (opened by the nearly-untouchable teams behind Good 2 Go Taco and Barcadia, among others) have opened and closed there. I’m crossing my fingers that the current tenant, Henry’s Majestic, conquers the jinx. The friendly and knowledgeable service, warm and quirky atmosphere, and creative yet accessible menu are all assets to the Dallas dining scene. The dinner menu ranges from a version of pho to trout to a Marrow-Spiked Burger. I’ve worked my way through marrow-driven menu choices around town and there was no way I was passing this one up. The marrow lends a lovely muskiness to the otherwise mostly standard (albeit perfectly cooked) burger. A golden brioche bun and two strips of crisp bacon push it over the edge. Other sandwiches are just as satisfying; a Ribeye Sandwich is loaded with bright red medium-rare paper-thin slices of steak and served with a rich French onion-inspired jus. The mix of the smoky steak, crusty bread, and sweet caramelized onions create basically what is the best French Dip sandwich you’ll

A Meatball Grinder, filled with meatballs that even Grandma would be proud of, was so generous that it was enough for two lunches. I was a little leery when I ordered the Pork Belly Salad, because the lettuce is dressed with jalapeño vinaigrette. I’ve mentioned before that I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to chilies; I don’t really want my food to hurt. This dressing, though, has just the right touch of heat to offset the richness of the pork belly and the sweetness of the peppadew peppers. It’s just the right size for a light lunch or to share for a first course at dinner. Speaking of first course, the two appetizers I sampled at Henry’s Majestic were both wonderful ways to kick off a meal. Oysters Majestic are broiled, topped with pancetta,

and drizzled with a sweet and spicy kimchi butter. It was one of those dishes that I was kind of sad to share. I also wanted to keep the Onion Dip all to myself: made with caramelized onions standing in for the usual onion soup mix, it’s simply transcendent. It’s served with delicious housemade potato chips, but I enjoyed it so much that I just wanted a spoon. The one downside to such generous servings is that you can miss out on dessert. In this case it might be a trade-off worth making. I enjoyed the Butterfinger Icebox Pie we tried during one visit — it was huge and covered in chocolate and we managed to polish it off … but it was not on the same level as the rest of the dishes we tried. (Which is more a case of the

savory dishes being so tasty, rather than the dessert being anything less than ideal.) Service is warm and welcoming, and the staff seems excited about the food they’re serving in a real way, not just in an “increase the check” way. One a lunch visit our server waxed nearly poetic about the Onion Dip (and her enthusiasm was infectious). Here’s hoping Henry’s Majestic defeats the curse at 4900 McKinney Ave. I’d like it if they were around for a long time.

YAPPY TALK

When making future plans, remember your furry friends

By Mary Spencer mary@petopia4paws.com Life throws us a lot of curve balls. Some small. Others massive and certainly not in our plans. We humans are designed to prepare ourselves, accept these challenges and adjust our lives accordingly. Sadly, our pets don’t have the same qualities that we humans do in coping with life-changing events; many which unexpectedly occur at the blink of an eye. Or a the wag of a furry tail. Last week, I received several e-mail-pleas from animal advocates ranging from East Dallas to East Texas, sharing the story of Hagan and Shelby — two extremely loved, middle-aged dogs, whose pet parent was a woman battling pancreatic cancer. Due to the severity of her illness, Hagan and Shelby’s dog-mom, Jane, recently relocated to a small town north of Dallas while her city home sold, causing Hagan and Shelby to move temporarily to the Forest Lane Animal Clinic in Garland. Jane’s realtor Claire Hill, a major animal lover herself, is currently paying for boarding, and the bill continues to escalate everyday. Claire is the type of realtor who not only truly cares for

her clients, but goes the extra steps to ensure that an entire family is cared for — including any furry family members. Therefore, Claire took in the orphans, Hagan and Shelby, with high hopes of finding them a home together, not realizing how difficult it can be to adopt two dogs together. After a month of boarding at the vet office/kennel (an unfamiliar environment so different from their former home), without their dog-mom or the ability to understand the graveness of Jane’s situation, Hagan and Shelby became more confused everyday. Although Jane had more time to plan her future, and wanted so badly to include Hagan and Shelby, she was forced to make decisions she had hoped would never happen, which puzzled her furry family even more. Now, after a much longer time of boarding, Claire may adopt them separately; her goal is to find both Hagan and Shelby a loving home, hopefully with siblings of their own and an adopted parent with plenty of time and love. Hagan and Shelby’s story would touch anyone’s heart. Knowing how badly Jane felt about losing her furry kids, while facing her own battle everyday without them by her

side, makes it even more tragic. Jane’s wish is that Hagan and Shelby will find the right home (or homes) to spend many future wonderful years. So many of the most heartbreaking situations occur when a pet owner becomes critically ill, with no family to take the pets, as in Jane’s situation. Photos courtesy of Mary Spencer This happens more Shelby is a "mixed-breed fellow." often than people think.

the last few weeks: Hello, my name is Hagan and I am a seven-and-a-halfyear-old Belgian Tervuren, which is from the shepherd family. While some shepherd breeds are known to be protective and over alert, I’m more laid back and a bit on the timid side. Our mom, Jane, adopted me when I was a pup; then, about five years later, she adopted Shelby for my BFF. We have been brothers ever since. Shelby is what they call a “mixed-breed fellow;” most likely heritage from a golden retriever, Lab, and/or Rhodesian ridgeback. Shelby still acts like a puppy sometimes and is very playful and curious. Shelby and I are both very healthy guys; we are both “fixed” and up to date on our vaccines and monthly heartworm preventative. Both of us are in temporary “school” at the boarding place and the nice staff is helping us learn commands and to walk more politely on a leash. I have heard them say that Shelby and I are both quick learners and that we are very smart. We each weigh between 60- 65 pounds, so a nice yard that would allow us to run and play together would be great. Except for our playtime in the yard, we stayed inside, keeping our dog-mom, Jane, company

and making her laugh a lot. When Mom Jane first went to the hospital, we had to stay alone outdoors in our backyard, and a neighbor came over to feed us. That was hard for us to understand this initial change in our lives; but being together has helped us a lot during this difficult time. Mom Jane’s first wish is that we could go to a loving home and continue our lives together. If that could happen, she would feel peaceful about us, because she loves Shelby and me with all her heart. We would definitely offer a new pet parent or family a lot of love, affection, loyalty and laughs.” Please call Claire Hill at 469-328-9375 to see if she thinks we might be a good fit. If you don’t have room in your own home for us, please consider helping with our boarding bill so that our good Samaritan Claire will not be left covering it all herself. For that, she would be so grateful! Big sloppy kisses, Hagan (on behalf of Shelby and me) Yes, critical illnesses and catastrophes can change a life in an instant. Make sure you have your pets’ future longterm care covered so they don’t end up like Hagan and Shelby — in a situation left for others to decide their fate!

Equal parts vodka for equality By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

Life is a journey full of experiences that challenge us to learn more, change and grow. Doug Jacobson and Bert Gallagher are founders of Equality Vodka, which recently launched in Dallas. Equality Vodka is ultra premium vodka with a simple agenda: equality for all. After living through their friends, and strangers, injustices for over thirty years, Jacobson and Gallagher were looking for a challenge and a way to contribute to bring equality to everyone. The two longtime friends had contributed in various ways over the years, but they were on the search Photo courtesy of Equality Vodka for just the right way to make Actor Joe Mantegna, attending an event to support Lambda Legal, is using two Equality Vodka bottles to their mark.

MOVIE TRAILER

Mechanical ‘Chappie’ doesn’t hold oil, needs to be scrapped

By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood

The tagline used for “Chappie” is “Humanity’s Last Hope Isn’t Human.” If humanity is representative of the people in this movie, the poor robot star of it is really wasting its time. Actually, anyone that sees “Chappie” will be the only humans wasting their time. This is 120 minutes of irritating characters, over the top sappiness, and a musical score so loud that it overtakes every insanely-staged and preposterous action scene. It’s ironic that “Chappie” is about artificial intelligence as there is no intelligence in it whatsoever. Leading the charge into stupidity is Sharlto Copley’s Chappie, a member of the police robot force designed to protect Johannesburg, South Africa in the near future. Since writer and director Neill Blomkamp is clearly out of ideas, “Chappie” starts out just like his first film, “District 9.” We learn via fake news reports that the police robot force was designed by Deon Wilson (Dev Patel), who works for an evil arms manufacturer run by Michelle Bradley (Sigourney Weaver, fully slumming it). Even though there

seem to be hundreds of thug criminals running around Johannesburg, Blomkamp seemingly decides to make everyone but them the bad guys. The main villain is Vincent (Hugh Jackman), a rival designer of Deon’s that has created a different robot cop that is remotely manned by a human. While Vincent does do several things that are evil, the real atrocities he’s committing involve his mullet and predilection to wearing khaki shorts and knee high socks, making one wish there were such a thing as the fashion police robot force. Since the movie abandoned all attempts to be grounded in reality from

the get go, Deon types on a computer for a bit, pounds some Red Bull, then boom! He creates artificial intelligence. Since he needs a robot to chuck his invention into, he steals the aforementioned Chappie, who was about to be taken out of commission after taking too much damage. At first, suspension of disbelief allows “Chappie” to be almost watchable. Then, Ninja, Yolandi and Yankie (Ninja, Yo-Landi Visser, Jose Pablo Cantillo) enter the picture. After some truly insane plot developments, they get their loser hands on Chappie, whose newfound consciousness makes him act like a newborn puppy. These scumbags teach

Chappie to talk like a highly unskilled rap artist, walk like he constantly has a limp and, of course, help them steal. The entire time, Copley’s voice work becomes more and more annoying. He constantly refers to himself in the first person and calls Yolandi his “mommy” in the creepiest way possible. Blomkamp has essentially made an R-rated, Guttenbergless version of “Short Circuit.” The only difference here is that the more Chappie talks, the more you may want him decommissioned. It doesn’t help that eventually, without any character development or reason, we as audience members are meant to suddenly cheer

'The Testament of Mary' shows different side of iconic figure By Dana Cobb As part of their 31st season, Undermain Theatre is thrilled to bring the regional premiere of Colm Tóibín’s “The Testament of Mary” to their home in Deep Ellum at 3200 Main St. Performances will run March 18 through April 11. This one-woman show was nominated for three 2013 Tony Awards, including Best Play. Based on Colm Tóibín’s 2012 novella, “The

Testament of Mary” takes place in the period when Mary is living in solitude in the city of Ephesus, guarded by followers of her son seeking to record her account of the events surrounding his death. In Tóibín’s portrayal of this iconic figure, she emerges not as the serene image familiar from religious art, but as a complex flesh-and-blood woman torn by grief and her refusal to endorse the official version of the story.

MULL cont'd from page 3 Union will see baseball in court. So put it in both leagues. Manfred is looking into eliminating the shift on pull hitters. Ridiculous, I say. It is part of the strategy of the game. If “Big Papi” can’t hit the ball to the left side, that’s his fault not the game’s problem. In trying to attract a younger audience with more offense, the commissioner must not alienate the devoted fan steeped with strategy and tradition or baseball is in real trouble. So many of the things that hurt TV viewership of baseball games come directly from the commissioner’s office. There are too many commercials between innings. Starting playoff and World Series games on TV at 8:25 p.m. on the East coast alienates the younger fan, especially on a school night. Nice try, commissioner, and I applaud your openness to change.

MUSIC cont'd from page 1 House Cultural Center for the second year. They’ve been well received at the Kessler Theater in the Bishop Street Arts District. Tolentino plays for corporate and private events including weddings. “Once I did a divorce party for the exwife. She was so happy she celebrated with her friends,” he quipped. Tolentino said, “1900 - 1920 is a fascinating time because we see composers like Jerome Kern getting their start here and gracefully moving through the decades. That’s what’s so interesting to me. To see how the early greats rose to fame.” The bandleader continued, “For instance, Kern’s first hit came in 1914 with ‘They Didn’t Believe Me’ from ‘The Girl from Utah,’ and decades later he was writing things like ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.’” Tolentino’s musical odyssey began at seven years old, when he caught on to his dad’s love for jazz. At 11 he started playing clarinet in the Stonewall Jackson

Now let’s get to the real crux of the matter keeping children from adopting the game generations grew up on. It is too expensive for families and kids to go to a game. The average salary of a baseball player is $4 million. There are more than 21 players slated to make $20 million or more in 2015. And unlike other professional leagues, these contracts are guaranteed. Major League Baseball is the only major sport without a salary cap. That means the rich teams can get richer by overpaying and the poor teams have to rely on creative payroll management to survive. While the highest payroll teams don’t always win, one thing is clear. The fans must absorb the cost of overpaid baseball players. And that comes — first and foremost — out of ticket prices. A cap is something that has to be addressed at the next Player’s Union negotiation, but that is years away. However, here is something to institute immediately. Designate

an affordable section in every MLB stadium with tickets available for children 13 and under. Put the seats up high, section off part of the bleachers, it doesn’t matter. Just make sure that a small percentage of seats in every stadium every day are reserved for kids. And then market the seats through television, video games, comic books and schools. Give them t-shirts and hats. Have busses pick up kids in neighborhoods and take them to and from the game. Like the NBA does, use young star players like Giancarlo Stanton, Yasiel Puig and Mike Trout to market the product. Commissioner Manfred, you want to appeal to today’s youth? “Get kids to the game!” Let them experience the same feeling we did the first time we went to the park. They will never forget that moment, or forget the game. They are the future ambassadors. Not the $25 million left-hander slated for Tommy John surgery.

Elementary School band. He never missed a beat as his infatuation grew. His sophomore year he added saxophone, tuba and accordion. “I grabbed all of the band I could get my hands on. Jazz. Concert. Marching. I did them all.” In high school at Woodrow Wilson he played polka gigs in restaurants, while also playing with the school jazz band. A dichotomy of his generation, he never missed a rerun episode of “The Lawrence Welk Show.” He found his inner joy, while touring the country with other bands before shaping his own, the Singapore Slingers orchestra. He added more instruments to his bio, including piano, tenor guitar, banjo, and he specializes in baritone and bass sax. When performing, Tolentino is clad in ’20s and ’30s men’s fashions and accessories, with his hair slicked back like Rudolph Valentino’s in “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” (1921). When we asked about his wardrobe and style on and offstage, he had a surprising answer: “This is my usual style. I own

for the creeps that abducted Chappie. At some point, all “Chappie” can make you hope to see is a robot fight between Vincent’s monster robot and Chappie. It takes what seems like an eternity for it to happen and when it does, it’s horribly boring. Since Blomkamp wants us to have all the feels, he ends it fairly quickly then sends Chappie after Vincent, who of course is to blame in this preposterous scenario. The effects are top notch, with Copley’s motion capture work for Chappie turning out much better than his silverware-scratching-on-a-plate voice work. This movie proves, yet again, that a director may

CHEF cont'd from page 1 restaurants were more formal and kitchens were mostly hidden from sight. German born and trained, Scholz, now 83, moved to Dallas in June 1962 to open the Cabana Motor Hotel as executive chef. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1955. J.B. Blocker recounted Scholz’s early years, growing up in war torn Germany during World War II. Ewald and his family lived over their bakery. Following the war, Scholz began his apprenticeship as a baker at age 14. Longtime friend Karl Kuby of Kuby’s Sausage House made an emotional tribute to Scholz who is undergoing cancer treatment. “We thank God for Ewald’s progress,” Kuby said, leading the group in prayer. Obviously moved, Ewald thanked his colleagues, his family — daughter Veronica Vrotsos, son Brian and daughter-in-law Paula — for giving him a lifetime of love and support.

PLAYOFF cont'd from page 3 and even with a new crop of teams, that won’t change anytime soon. I will mark this tournament as “your most likely to see an upset” — that’s what the Big East has been about all year. Big Ten, American, Pac 12 The Big Ten is certainly down this year, though its Chicago tournament will offer quite a few story lines. First, Wisconsin will try to stake their claim for a No. 1 seed. The Badgers will have to win the Big Ten tourney and get some help from other places, but they are overwhelming favorites in Chicago and could have a shot. That, combined with a handful of bubble teams trying to play their way in, will make this an interested spread of games at the United Center. SMU holds the No. 1 seed in the American Athletic Conference tournament, which means the Mustangs first game will be Friday against either

one pair of jeans for changing oil in the car.” After that shocker, he added, “I just like how everyone back then took pride in the way they looked. The men wore suits and hats. That’s lacking today, but I’m fighting the good fight. It complements the music.” He told us that he always wants to be ready to answer questions. “I’m always ready to sell product. It’s all a package. Marketing.” The marketer has an orchestra pit-load of talent, which is his best sales tool. Besides being skilled on so many instruments, he’s also a singer. His pleasant, retro-intonation, both at the microphone and his vocals channel the iconic bandleader, entertainer and sax player, Rudy Vallee. You will recognize Tolentino immediately at the social by his straw boater hat and baton. Tickets are available at the gate the day of the event or in advance at http://bit.ly/1zGip6z.

be skilled at shooting a movie, but not all of them should be writing screenplays. In many circles, that is called “Pulling a Shyamalan.” The main pair of criminals, Ninja and Yolandi, are played by South African rap group Die Antwoord. They should stick to their day job. The only hope is that this duo wanted to be an intentional beat down. There is nothing to like about their characters to begin with, only making their irritating acting more difficult to watch. Even though it amounts to a lengthy cameo, Hugh Jackman as a bullying creep is entertaining. Jackman never plays the heavy, and unlike the other stiff as board acting in “Chappie,” he genuinely seems to be relishing it. Once “Chappie” mercifully ends, it leaves the door open for a sequel. This has become standard operating procedure for Blomkamp, making one wonder if he actually knows how to make a satisfying ending for a movie. “District 9” gave Blomkamp a hit movie that was smart and entertaining. Two horrible movies later, all his cinematic goodwill should be burned up. “Chappie” needs to be abandoned in the same junkyard as Johnny 5 and those silly aliens from “Batteries Not Included.”

Eastern Carolina or Central Florida. The only two teams that have given SMU real problems in the conference this year have been Cincinnati and Connecticut, but those teams are both on the opposite side of the bracket, and will likely play each other Friday before SMU has to face them. Those squads and Tulsa provide the Ponies’ toughest competition, and a tournament win could put SMU in the four or five seed conversation. The Pac 12 Tournament in Las Vegas is important for those watching the No. 1 seed situation, as Arizona will try to lay claim to a piece of that pie. Don’t expect the Wildcats to be tested until Saturday’s final, where they could face Oregon or Utah. Don’t count out these west coast teams next week when the brackets are released. Thankfully, the talking is almost over. In a few short days we’ll know for sure who gets what seed and who plays where. Then we have a whole new opportunity to make fools of ourselves.
