The original Pegasus that once perched atop the downtown Dallas headquarters of the Magnolia Petroleum Co. from 1934 to 1999 will have a new home. The familiar icon of the City of Dallas skyline will soon dazzle residents and visitors from its new location in front of the Omni Hotel, 555 S. Lamar St. Restoration of the original sign panels began in 2013 and, now complete with a new set of neon lights, the restored sculpture will be installed over the next two weeks.

“We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to be able to display this cultural

A restored Pegasus returns to Downtown Dallas this weekend. artifact once again,” said Office of Cultural Affairs interim director David Fisher. “The original Pegasus that once flew over the Dallas skyline will now serve as an wonderful counterpart to the Omni Hotel. It will become a cultural

destination for everyone who visits Downtown Dallas.”

The restoration and installation of the Pegasus is the result of a partnership between the Office of Cultural Affairs and Matthews Southwest. In the

fall of 2013, the two parties entered into an agreement allowing Matthews Southwest to restore the original Pegasus panels that had been in storage for many years. The agreement outlined the understanding that the Pegasus would be displayed on City of Dallas property in front of the Omni Hotel. The restoration of the Pegasus was done

by Van Enter Studios, which has overseen numerous restorations for the City of Dallas.

The Pegasus will rotate atop a derrick built by Tony Collins of Tony Collins Art, the company that will conduct routine maintenance on the mechanism and structure for the next 10 years.

Nation’s largest Earth Day celebration takes orbit

By Annie Breihan After four years of building the largest annual public green exhibition in the world, Earth Day Texas (EDTx) will celebrate its fifth anniversary by expanding to a three-day event to engage business and civic leaders.

EDTx 2015 will take place from April 24-26 at Fair Park in Dallas.

“In five years, we’ve grown to the largest Earth Day celebration in the nation and have brought more than 200,000 people to historic Fair Park,” said Trammell S. Crow, EDTx founder.

“Adding a third day to the event will allow EDTx to better engage the business and civic communities in the national effort to become a more environmentally friendly culture.”

EDTx will open its exhibit and event spaces to professionals and the general public at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 24.

Programs that day will cater to the business and civic communities in particular, increasing EDTx’s educational reach while maintaining the popular public show on Saturday and Sunday.

EDTx made the decision to begin its event during the week in an effort to engage decision-makers across Texas and the rest of the nation. EDTx will accomplish this by hosting an Eco-Conference with notable speakers and panels, a roundtable discussion on New Urbanism in Dallas, and special meeting and event space for trade associations, professional societies, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, corporations and chambers of commerce.

Confirmed speakers at Earth Day Texas include Karenna Gore, author and daughter of Al Gore; Bill White, former Mayor of Houston; Bill Hammond, President of the Texas Association of Business; David Yarnold, President of the Audubon Society; Dan Patrick, Lt. Governor of Texas; Iris

Earth Day Texas will also feature several presentations on farm-to-table cuisine, including a panel discussion involving Hibiscus chef Graham Dodds, as well as an on-stage interview with Chad Houser, chef and executive director of Café Momentum.

Each April, EDTx hosts the world’s largest public exhibition devoted to environmental stewardship. The event is a platform that brings businesses, environmental organizations, academic institutions and government agencies together to positively influence the way Texans think, live, and work.

MULL IT OVER

ACKELS' ANGLE

An open letter to the Masters champ

Before the ‘green jacket’ fit

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com April 17, 2015 Mr. Jordan Spieth Masters champion Dallas, TX Dear Mr. Spieth, Congratulations on your victory Sunday in the 2015 Masters. At 21-years old, you became the second youngest golfer to ever win the Masters championship, one of the four major annual golf championships and the tournament that captivates America the most.

You played brilliantly, exemplifying exceptional skill, calm and class. You credited your family, your friends in Dallas and were humble throughout your wire-to-wire win. Even when the Under Armour logos occasionally took our eyes off of your great play, you made all of Dallas proud.

I just implore that you keep it that way.

You see, I am an avid golfer. I was a member at the Tournament Players Course at Las Colinas for many years.

When you were still in high school, you received an exemption as an amateur to play in the Byron Nelson Open there. My friend with the Salesmanship Club, who was introducing the players on the first tee, called me over and said “Watch this young man from Jesuit. He is a great player and an even better kid. You won’t forget this moment.” I didn’t.

When I was your age, I worshiped golfers Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson and others. I loved what they represented, and they showed many of the same traits as you have in your brief career.

But then I saw Tiger Woods hit the golf scene with much the same panache as you have.

Today, he is a mere shell of what he once was, and has become almost a parody of himself. I marveled at John Daly, and then cried when I saw the big kid from Arkansas crumble before my very eyes. I love Phil Mickelson, but try to ignore the allegations associated with his personal life.

While you were trying on your Masters Green Jacket in Butler Cabin at Augusta National, Russell Westbrook was trying to lead his injured Oklahoma City Thunder to an improbable NBA playoff berth with an amazing second half season of play. When he got his 16th technical foul of the year on Sunday — one that could have given him a one game suspension — Westbrook said: “I ain’t got no view on it. I don’t really give a damn what nobody thinks to tell you the truth, man. I really don’t care.”

Despite his incredible ability, that type of attitude alienates sports fans. Please don’t get that way.

You just won $1.8 million this past weekend. I know that you play an individual sport, and play it as well as anyone I have seen at your age. But before you were born, NBA star Charles Barkley was featured in a commercial for Nike. He stated, “I am not a role model ...

Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.” While I don’t expect you to raise any children but your own, don’t believe that remark one minute. You are a role model, and one that Dallas needs desperately.

As a Dallas Mavericks fan, I cheered on a young forward named Roy Tarpley who broke my heart and eventually passed away because he could not fight his demons. The Dallas Cowboys have a history — both past and present — of relying on troubled players to try to lead them to victory.

The Texas Rangers went to the

Green meant a new coat and a $1.8 million check for Dallas’ Jordan Spieth.

World Series because of a Most Valuable Player award winner who ultimately — despite the team’s best efforts — couldn’t fight off his addictions.

In no way am I suggesting that you fall into any of those categories. Good people got you to where you are today, and you seem to be incredibly well adjusted. But your life just changed forever on Sunday, and there are so many bad people lurking who want a piece of your new found fortune and notoriety.

Your personal life will be scrutinized. You won’t be able to get out of the media spotlight. You will be asked stupid and embarrassing questions. You won’t be able to go out to dinner without being bombarded by autograph seekers or picture-takers. I just ask that you stand tall and be strong.

Speaking for sports fans everywhere, we love you just the way you are and Dallas and America needs you now more than ever.

Good luck, Mr. Spieth.

“Hit 'em straight!”

Sincerely, David Mullen

FITNESS ON THE TRAIL

Nine reasons everyone should lift weights

By Turner Cavender Turner@dallasfbbc.com

Watch a documentary about people who lift weights and you’ll likely be watching some of the world’s elite body builders hone their physique to abTurner Cavender normal largeness. Take a peek into your local gym and you’ll see something quite different. Sure, there may be a handful of body builders there, but they’re lifting right next to an accountant, a store clerk, and a retiree. That’s because all these people realize one thing: lifting weights is for everyone.

But is weight lifting really for you? Here are nine reasons the answer is yes.

You get happy. Yes, exercise of any kind gets the happy chemicals running through your body, but lifting weights seems to have an advantage on your happy level. Why? Lots of reasons that are listed below.

You’re more useful. You were born with a great affinity to do something. You may be gifted to argue cases in court, cook an amazing meal, or keep cool while caring for a dozen 5-yearolds. Lifting weights helps you do each of them better. On top of that, it gives you the capacity to lend a helping hand when someone is struggling to lift a heavy box or open a stuck door.

Suddenly, you’re not stuck waiting for help when a demanding task is put in front of you.

Instead, you bend at the knees and get to work.

You get focused. If you’ve ever struggled with trying to figure out what to do at the gym, I’m here to help. That includes lifting weights.

As your strength and the amount of weight you lift increase, intense focus is required to avoid injury. This focus in the gym — if you let it — will carry over into your non-gym activities.

Your body. Lifting weights does so much for your physique. Push yourself hard enough and your body will amaze you constantly. But your physique isn’t the only beneficiary of weight lifting. Lifting helps your body fend off illnesses and injury by helping you shed unwanted pounds, lowering your blood pressure, improving your heart function, and more.

You do the impossible. When you start lifting weights, you can’t imagine lifting any more than you do in your first session. Three

weeks later, you’ve already passed the impossible mark. By doing this over and over, you pick up a mental toughness and confidence that will aid you in all areas of life.

You eat better. Have you been struggling to keep your daily calorie count down?

Nothing helps you stay in line better than working out. Your regular weight-lifting routine makes you more aware of what you put in your body, making it easier to say no to those temptations that are always around the corner.

Your bones get stronger. While the first thing you may notice after lifting weights is stronger muscles, your bones are also secretly gaining strength at the same time. Since the risk of osteoporosis and broken bones only increases as you age, guarding against them with weight lifting only makes sense!

Your balance improves. Staying on your feet may not be an issue today, but as you age, it will become one of your top priorities. This is especially true considering how often elderly people lose their balance and wind up with life-altering broken bones. Lifting weights at any age will give you a balance boost that will last throughout your life.

Your brain function increases. Believe it or not, people who lift weights aren’t the meatheads they’re made out to be. Quite the opposite. Research has proven that lifting weights actually has the power to improve your brain’s ability to do its job.

Reach your fitness potential faster by coupling your good diet with a challenging exercise program. I’m here to motivate, instruct and encourage you to reach your goal.

Tropical Chopped Chicken Salad

When you lift weights, it’s important to get a healthy intake of protein at each meal. Combining chicken and vegetables, like in this tropical salad, is one of the healthiest ways that you can eat. Your fitness results will flourish when meals like this become a regular part of your life. Servings: 5 Here’s what you need: 4 skinless chicken breast, organic and vegetarian fed Bolthouse Farms Tropical Mango Olive Oil Vinaigrette 1 head cabbage, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 mango, chopped 1/2 cup pineapple, chopped 1 bunch cilantro, chopped 1/3 cup green onions, chopped Rinse the chicken breasts and place in a large Ziplock bag. Pour in enough of the Mango Vinaigrette to fully cover the chicken. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees and grease a pan with coconut oil.

By Chris Ackels

Ch.ackels@gmail.com Let’s start with a disclaimer: I know Jordan Spieth personally. I knew him growing up, I went to Jesuit two years ahead of him and I currently work at Jesuit in the Athletics Department.

I don’t know if this makes me more qualified or less qualified to write a column about the young 2015 Masters champion, but it’s just about all that’s been on my mind — and plate — this week.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not claiming to be closer than I am and I would never claim to be even the slightest bit responsible for his success. But I knew him as a child — when he really was just a child — and watching him now is as surreal an experience as I’ve ever had.

I am proud of Jordan. Not ‘I am proud to know him’ or ‘proud to have gone to school with him.’ I am proud of him, of what he has accomplished, of what that means to him and his family.

I am proud of the way he competes, the way he always plays for the pin, the way he attacks every hole, every shot, every time. He plays aggressive golf, and that makes him even more fun to watch.

I’m proud of the records he set: the 18 under par, the 28 birdies and the first wire-to-wire win in 39 years. Those numbers grant legitimacy and wowfactor to his already remarkable feat of being the second youngest person to

ever win the “green jacket.”

But above all of that — and I think much of the Jesuit community would agree with me on this one — I am proud of something more. I am proud of who he is. I am proud of who he has become. And I am excited about where he is going.

Jordan Spieth is and always has been a genuinely kind, caring young man. He’s always been a competitor, he’s always set lofty goals, and he’s always had that easy smile and that relaxed demeanor.

Jordan hasn’t let the fame get to his head — he still attends alumni events with his friends, he still supports his brother and sister and girlfriend in everything they do, and he still listens to mom and dad.

Not just Jesuit, but all of Dallas can claim him as “ours.” He attended St. Monica’s in North Dallas, and he is a shameless, unabashed Cowboys and Mavericks fan. He comes home more often than you think, and when he does, he’s a brother, a son, a friend, like the rest of us.

When you walk through the halls at Jesuit, that’s what we’re proud of.

We’re not just proud of the golfer, we’re proud of the man. And that’s what makes Jordan Spieth so different.

Jim Nantz of CBS Sports asked about his humility; Jordan refused to talk about it. The Times of London asked if his grace, humility, and humor made him ‘too good to be true’; Jordan laughs it off and makes jokes about his high school buddies helping him unwind at Augusta. Many reporters ask where he got this from; he consistently credits his family, his parents, his upbringing.

Jordan is a 21-year-old, and in many ways is your typical 21-year-old.

He likes to have a good time with his friends, he visits home when he can, and he has a great sense of humor. But the nation has gotten to know him because of his golf, and the nation has fallen in love with him because of his charisma. I’m glad you’re all getting to see what we saw a long time ago: a great golfer, a great guy and a bright future ahead.

show love and care in Dallas KIDNEY TEXAS

Women’s organization is very active in raising major funds for those with kidney disease

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?

e purpose of Kidney Texas is to provide A Th

funding to improve the methods of treatment, the search for a cure and prevention of kidney disease and other kindred or contributory diseases; and to develop more adequate provision for the care of persons suffering from such diseases.

QW hat are some statistics regarding numbers affected by this disease?

A

Debilitating kidney diseases impact approximately 20 million people in the U.S. today. Groups at high risk include African Americans, Hispanics, senior citizens and people with diabetes. In Texas, there are more than 30,000 people on dialysis and 4,000 on a transplant list. The number of patients on dialysis is anticipated to double this decade.

QW hat about prevention?

A

One in three American adults is at risk for kidney disease. Major risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney failure and being age 60 or older. It often has no symptoms, and it can go undetected until very advanced. But a simple urine test can tell you if you have kidney disease. It is important to get tested because early detection and treatment can slow or prevent the progression of kidney disease.

Q H ow much money has Kidney Texas raised locally?

e have raised more than 2.8 million to AW

date to support many beneficiaries, including the 2014 recipients. Some of these foundations are as listed: The Baylor

Health Care Foundation, The Children’s Medical Center, The National Kidney Foundation, Camp Reynal and The UT Southwestern Medical Center.

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

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

A R aising awareness about kidney disease.

The coming week will require a renewed commitment of some sort, and this will be significant in domestic situations, professional relationships, recreational activities and, indeed, all endeavors that are more than only momentary or temporary. This is likely to prove most significant to those who have, for whatever reason, any kind of aversion to saying "yes" or "I will"; the importance of being able to stick with something for the duration will be evident in all things, and there is little or no room for vacillation or unwillingness. Everyone has to be able to state with conviction how far he or she is willing to go — and then demonstrate that willingness in absolute terms.

For those who are making changes in their lives — particularly in the personal arena — this doesn't mean that those changes are ill-advised. On the contrary, they can prove even more exciting than ever before — and there is a very real possibility that animosity will be replaced by true friendship and support.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You're in no position to call the shots. Later on, you can experiment with a limited set of viable options.

(April 5-April 19) – What you are willing to talk about is not the trouble, but your conversational style is; be more willing to listen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You'll want to give things a more personal spin, which means that you're going to have to put yourself on the line. (May 6-May 20) – You'll be reminded, perhaps, of something from your childhood that still has a great deal of meaning for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) How you present yourself will be very important — and it all starts, perhaps, with the simplest of statements. Be clear and honest. (June 7-June 20) – Your methods may not suit the occasion at certain points, and you must be willing and able to make adjustments.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You'll want to keep track very carefully of the progress being made by someone who could become a rival before you know it. (July 8-July 22) – You must be willing to spend some time doing that which you have been trying to avoid. A friend is relying on you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) What you have to do to disguise yourself will require not just imagination, but also the proper tools.

Equip yourself. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Others may not fully understand your methods, but your motives

are clear — and they are shared by many.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) A friend may be coming into town soon, and you'll want to be available if and when he or she makes contact with you. (Sept. 8-Sept.

22) – You're mistaking the routine with the mundane; this week, even routine endeavors can be quite extraordinary, for surprising reasons.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You may not be able to rely on the tools you are accustomed to using and which you prefer for a job such as the one you have to perform.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You may stumble across the remains of an idea that you can bring back to life and sell to others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Getting from here to there may prove to be more complicated than you had anticipated. You must give yourself more time. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You're more willing than another to flesh out the details of a plan that may have some risky elements.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You can keep the lines of communication open even when the usual

Copyright 2015 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. channels are closed to you. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You must be willing to accept what you are told by an expert. It may not sit well with you, but you can work with it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) The sights and sounds all around you will tell you a great deal about your situation and provide you with important planning tools. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You're being presented with information that you already have, but the way it's presented makes you think about it differently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You've been doing less for yourself lately, and it's beginning to take its toll. Put yourself first — at least on certain occasions. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Now is the time for you to pick up the pace and assume a more aggressive position at the negotiating table.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Others are likely to be preoccupied with the meaning of your actions, but you know that very little is implied right now. (March 6-March 20) – The direct route is recommended. Do what you can to avoid unfamiliar waypoints.

● Each row and each column must

contain the numbers 1 through 4 (easy) or 1 through 6 (challenging) without repeating.

● The numbers within the heavily 4-19-15

outlined boxes, called cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners.

● Freebies: Fill in single-box cages

with the number in the top-left corner.

This 1950s home is located at 10504 Lake Gardens Drive and is listed for $295,000.

Collier with David Griffin & Company for $295,000.

This 3-2 has been meticulously maintained in its original condition, a rare treat for the mid-century modern enthusiast and real estate shoppers. It is located near Easton and Garland Roads on a street with large shade trees and small hills with many other 1950s houses. The lot is 98-by101, with a large, green lawn and nicely manicured hedges.

Let’s step inside and step back in time.

The entryway has original Terrazzo floors in perfect condition and a decorative divider, which adds pattern and visual interest to the house’s entry and gives a glimpse of the house’s incredible retro personality.

Immediately to the right is the breakfast area, with an original pendant lamp and breakfast bar, as well as the Terrazzo floors and a large window.

This leads into the kitchen. Whoa, check out those coral-colored laminate countertops, the original mintgreen oven and checkerboard laminate floor! There's another three original pendant lamps, as well as dark-wood paneling that matches the cabinets.

The nearby living area is large (20-by-14) and brightlylit with a brick fireplace that extends into another room divider, which is also a planter.

How retro can you get? The brick is long and skinny and a tan-pink color, which fits into

the overall color scheme of the house and is in pristine condition. The master bedroom has a wall of closets and built-ins, including a vintage built-in television. It measures 15-by13 and I love that mint-green color on the doors. The tan carpeting in this room doesn't look like it's in the best condition and is rippled in several places. There's wood paneling on one of the walls, and the master bathroom has two colors of original tile, a walkin shower, and Formica countertops. I have never seen a pegboard vanity front like this before — lots of visual interest. The other two bedrooms measure 11-by-11 and 13-by11, and share a full bathroom with the same Formica countertops as the master bath

and the same two-tone color scheme.

The backyard has an open patio, fabulous for entertaining, plus an eight-foot privacy fence, mature trees and other plants.

So our time travel is complete! What do you think of this mid-century Lochwood house deep in the heart of East Dallas? Mosey on over to CandysDirt.com and tell us!

Aside from passing through the Canal, Panama is a relatively new tourist destination. Only three hours by plane from Dallas, Panama is really two countries — Panama #1 consisting of Panama City, and Panama #2 Michael Wald consisting of the rest of the country.

They’re completely different. I’ll discuss Panama #2 in another article. I’ll write separately about how to experience the Canal.

Panama City is a traffic nightmare. With planning you can see it in a long weekend. A simple way to get around is by a hop-on-hop-off tourist bus, which stops close to many tourist hotels. A recently-opened subway also works great. But you’ll want to see some places that are not accessible by either of these methods. And neither goes to the airport where a taxi into the city is needed, around $40, tolls included, excluding tip.

Not to be missed, in the jungle close to Panama City, is a visit to an Embera community. Go with a tour arranged by your hotel. The Embera are an indigenous people that strive Embera village homes. to preserve their way of life without electricity and speaking their own language. From thatched-roofed homes built on stilts in tribal villages of two to three extended families, they fish the Chagres River and eat mangos and other fruits of the jungle. The men wear loin clothes, and the women do not wear shirts, instead covering their bodies with elaborate plant-dye tattoos.

Visiting the Embera is closer and easier than visiting an African tribe, but the experience is similar. It starts with a trip in a dugout canoe. When there, get Biomuseo. yourself a tattoo for a $5 tip. It will last about two weeks. You can learn Embera dances. They will show you their wares, which consist of carvings from the hardwoods in the jungle, exquisite jewelry and woven baskets that hold water both made from jungle materials and primitive musical instruments. You can

buy these same things in tourist shops but buying from the source ensures authenticity and helps preserve the culture.

If you have time, ask the village medicine man to take you on a jungle walk to pick leaves for whatever ails you.

Another highlight is the old part of Panama City called Casco Viejo (Old Village). Even though it has long been home to the Presidential Palace, access to Casco Viejo used to require driving through Chorillo, the neighboring, very dangerous slums of Panama City. A controversial new highway makes it easy to get there now by car, but its narrow streets make it impossible for the hop-on-hop-off bus to get you there.

Casco Viejo’s charming, old Spanish architecture is preserved by law, which prevents beautiful outer walls and wrought-iron balconies from being demolished in the huge ongoing revitalization and gentrification now resulting in expensive apartments and restaurants.

Visit the wonderful Panama Canal museum on Independence Plaza to learn its history. Near the French Plaza visit the promenade with a wide assortment of local souvenirs and impressive view of the city skyline.

A peninsula connecting three manmade islands built of earth from Panama Canal excavations, Amador Causeway caters to tourists. Don’t miss the Biomuseo, the new, futuristic Gehry-designed museum explaining Photos by Michael Wald the natural history of Panama. The hop-on-hop-off bus stops there. You’ll recognize its colorful architecture immediately!

Two other places in Amador, a little off the beaten path, are mustsees. Walk down the road behind Mi Ranchito restaurant and you come to a fascinating Smithsonian exhibit, which replicates the jungle experience right in the city! Second, near the new convention center a bazaar selling traditional artisan works is wonderful; haggling encouraged.

New contrasts with old — see both come alive in Panama as this budding tourist destination fully blooms.

HISTORY ON THE TRAIL WWII Warbirds – planes of the ‘Greatest Generation’

ALONG THE GREEN TRAIL

In 1948, I had my first airplane ride, and it was to San Antonio. My father had saved some money and paid for a ride on a Ryan Navion. He may have been more excited than I. My father sat behind me in the four seater, pilot on the left and I in the front right. I was 15 and was allowed Photos courtesy of Wayne Swearingen to steer a little.

If you’re not up for the longer drive, visit one of the 381 Dallas City Parks totaling more than 23,242 acres of developed and undeveloped park land. On dallasparks.org they have an incredibly handy interactive map of every park, dog park, splash pad and trail by district. Find that hidden park located right around the corner from you.

There are even more trails listed on the Dallas County website (dallascounty.org) that connect neighborhoods and major landmarks. Browse the list of more than 30 trails such as the popular White Rock Lake Trail and lesser-known 3.5 mile Bachman Lake Trail located in Northwest Dallas.

Finally, maybe your park is our own Katy Trail. The 3.5 urban trail is a very popular destination for residents and tourists. Although we all may love our trail, I encourage you to check out and support the hundreds or other opportunities in the area to #FindYourPark.

Without exploring the others you’ll never know what you, your friends and family could be missing out on. This past weekend was the first time my nephews heard coyotes call, something a bit more difficult to hear within city limits.

TRAIL LAWYER

Somebody's watching you (or worse)

By Gregory M. Clift gclift@clousedunn.com

While Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” provided bases for “Blade Runner” and “Total Recall,” respectively, some of his short story themes from “Minority Report” are actually invading today’s reality (although AI advances may bring his others to us soon). Recent reports from Bloomberg indicate JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other companies are developing algorithms to identify and even predict problem employees. Considering the volume of electronic or recorded data generated, individual monitoring for large enterprises is infeasible. For example, it is estimated by some that billions of emails pass through some financial institutions.

Predictive surveillance programs focus in part on deriving facts from this vast amount of data and developing it into a context to make predictions. If as advertised, a program also “learns” as it continues to work through data over time, honing its predictions. The predictions may reduce or eliminate a rogue employee from damaging an institution through, for example, stopping a trader from churning accounts.

While predictive surveillance may prove overkill for most employers and flat out frightening conceptually to any employee, certain monitoring in the workplace is typical. Monitoring provides benefits to both employers and employees. However, it is important (and fair) for all parties to know the policies.

Of key importance is an understanding whether, to what extent, and in what an employee has a right to privacy. For example, a written

When you need a little pick-me-up, think about your upcoming outing. Anticipating a future reward can light up your brain's pleasure centers much as the reward itself does.

I’m looking forward to a much-needed weekend getaway near Austin. My dogs and I will be staying in a dog-friendly cabin with a fenced yard. We’ll hike, enjoy gourmet breakfasts (homemade dog biscuits for my fur kids) and spend a few blissful days without deadlines or responsibilities.

Osteoarthritis is characterized pathologically by localized loss of cartilage, remodeling of adjacent bone and associated inflammation. A variety of traumas may trigger the need for a joint to repair itself. Osteoarthritis includes a slow but efficient repair process that often compensates for the initial trauma, resulting in a structurally altered but symptom-free joint.

In some people, because of either overwhelming trauma or compromised repair, the process cannot compensate, resulting in eventual presentation with symptomatic osteoarthritis; this might be thought of as “joint failure.” This in part explains the extreme variability in clinical presentation and outcome that can be observed between people and also at different joints in the same person.

There are limitations to the

published evidence on treating osteoarthritis. Most studies have focused on knee osteoarthritis, and are often of short duration using single therapies. Although most trials have looked at single joint involvement, in reality many people have pain in more than one joint, which may alter the effectiveness of interventions.

Whichever guidelines one chooses to follow, the mainstay of treatment for symptomatic arthritis remains remarkably similar for the hip or the knee. Patients can oftentimes be encouraged to learn than one pound of weight loss up top can translate into six pounds less on each knee with each step.

This means that a five-pound weight loss could result in a 30-pound difference with each step on each knee, and oftentimes this makes a

significant difference for patient in the management of their symptoms.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can be very helpful in relieving the inflammation, which is associated with the osteoarthritis process. Oftentimes a brace can help relieve pressure in the affected compartment.

Symptomatic relief remains the goal of management as surgical procedures in the management of arthritis and their best results when they are performed for their pain relieving benefit.

MOVIE TRAILER

‘It Follows’ is a terrific small studio terror theatric

By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood

“It Follows” is the most fun you can have while simultaneously being on the verge of a nervous collapse. It is visceral nightmare fuel.

The first scene does what it can to prepare you for the dread that follows. A girl bursts out of the front door of her house, hastily dressed in pajamas and red heels, seemingly terrified by an unseen assailant. The camera stays still in the middle of her suburban street, doing a 360 as she runs up and down the sidewalk. She hops in a car, speeds down the street, heads to a beach off Lake Michigan, has a heartbreaking phone call with her father, then something very, very awful happens.

It’s an opening that is every bit as frightening as the first moments of “Jaws” as an unseen movie monster stalks its prey. With “It Follows,” writer/director David Robert Mitchell has crafted a horror movie masterpiece. This is not your typical slasher movie disaster.

This is a magnificently shot, edited and scored movie that surely would have been ruined by a major movie studio.

After the extremely jarring opening scene, “It Follows” introduces Jay (Maika Monroe), her younger sister, Kelly (Lili Sepe) and a few of their friends, Paul (Keir Gilchrist) and Yara (Olivia Luccardi). Their typical late teensearly 20s existence consists of watching TV and sitting around doing mostly nothing.

Much to the chagrin of Paul, Jay is dating an older guy named Hugh (Jake Weary). Other than being the weak link in the acting chain of an otherwise solid cast, Hugh is a bit of a jumpy fella. After the fluttering of eyes, some forced chemistry and what seems like a panic attack from Hugh, he and Jay end up parked in his car, and they have some awkward backseat sex.

Things do not go well from this point on for Jay. Hugh “passed” something to Jay. Divulging all the details here would ruin the disturbing fun of “It Follows,” but rest assured, it’s terrifying. It’s essentially taken the already frightening danger of sexually transmitted diseases and cranked it up to 11. A doctor visit and a pharmacy trip aren’t going to cure what has been given to Jay. Instead, what she has contracted is

quite literally trying to kill her.

The story alone produces as many creeps as possible. It doesn’t utilize the “boo” scare trick that often, but when it does, it is alarming. Instead, the fantastic use of widescreen by cinematographer Mike Gioulakis keeps you on high alert. The potential for something to happen in the background is always present, and it should keep your eyes peeled at all times.

As if all these elements weren’t enough, the pounding, intense score

by Rich Vreeland makes some moments almost unbearable. An uneasy, synthetic hum underscores certain moments then when a character encounters something jarring, Vreeland’s score pounds your ears, and everything that you are seeing and hearing can only be described as Kubrick-like.

There is little doubt that “It Follows” is Mitchell’s homage to 1970s horror. There is just so much more to offer in this surreal world, including trying to determine exactly what era it’s in. Every single car is some sort of 1970s model and the fashion choices, down to a guy with a stud in his left ear, are inexplicably 1980s. Things get even more

Maika Monroe is featured in the horror film "It Follows." confusing when Yara pops open her e-reader.

But what makes “It Follows” seem like it happens in some sort of strange alternate time is the setting.

It all happens amongst the dilapidated and abandoned homes of Detroit.

Everything is so downtrodden and depressing that the city itself is almost a villain. In short, there is no chance that Detroit’s Visitors Bureau

uses this as a promotional video.

If a major studio bought this script and produced this movie, it would have been a disaster. There’s no easy explanation spelled out for you in a way that insults your intelligence. There’s not enough gore and blood to satisfy the torture porn crowd. “It Follows” wants to attack your mind without subjecting you to cheap tricks or shock.

EAST DALLAS

Visionary women of Woodrow Wilson High School honored

By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

Juliette Peak Fowler set the bar high for women with vision. The 19th century pioneer became known as “Dallas’ first woman philanthropist” in late 1888. Her tireless work was dedicated to bringing quality to the lives widows and orphans, with suitable housing and care. Fowler passed away before she reached her goal but her sister, Sarah Peak Harwood fulfilled her sibling’s vision and chartered, “The Juliette Fowler Home for Children and the Aged” in 1892 as a nonprofit, intergenerational community. At its historic campus in East Dallas, Fowler has served thousands of mature adults, children and families.

For its third year, Fowler Communities recognizes Dallas women, who, like Fowler have forged a path for women to follow.

Previous recipients are Ebby Halliday and Vivian Castleberry. This year’s Juliette Fowler’s 2015 Visionary Women are Marca Lee Bircher and Patty Hardman, honored as leaders in education and the performing arts.

For almost 30 years Bircher and Hardman were the creative team behind the Woodrow Wilson High School musicals.

During their tenure, they transformed the lives of thousands of students, a school and a community.

More than 700 students, teachers, alumni, neighbors and friends gathered to share the two icons’ recognition at a luncheon last week. Roland Bandy, Chair of Juliette Fowler Communities Board of Directors, made the

Featured speaker, Tim Brown is a 1984 Woodrow Wilson alumnus, Heisman Trophy winner and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee. He is considered one of the greatest wide receivers to play in the National Football League. He said in his address that he credits his mother for his successes, which he’s sure the honorees’ children credit their mothers today.

Originally from Bryson, Texas, Bircher received a BA in music from Abilene Christian University and an MME in Vocal Pedagogy/Choral Conducting from the University of North Texas.

Bircher has performed professionally with the Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center, Dallas Civic Chorus, for which she was

president and soprano soloist. She appeared in the Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) and she is currently a judge for DSM’s High School Musical Theater Awards.

The talented teacher has been showcased in a one-woman Broadway musical. She has taught elementary school music in DISD, but best known accomplishment was the 28 years, beginning in 1975, during which she changed lives at Woodrow Wilson. The ensembles and soloists, along with the choirs she directed consistently won highest ratings in University Interscholastic League (UIL).

Patty Hardman spent her early career singing, dancing and acting. She was part of a Dallas cast that toured the country performing musical revues. She took a time out to raise three daughters, before returning to school at the University of Dallas, where she earned a degree in history.

In 1977 she began teaching history at Woodrow Wilson. As soon as there was an opening in the music department, she danced right in. The two colleagues began their creative collaboration, out of which they formed the nationally recognized show choir, Variations in 1979, to commemorate Woodrow Wilson’s 50th anniversary.

Hardman said, “Those 28 years were the best. When Marca Lee and I started working together we knew we complemented each other. We were a glorious team.”

The educators retired in 2003, and their teaching legacy continues through judging, attending Woodrow events and observing more than 50 of their students who have gone

on to careers in movies, television and the performing arts. Bircher recently judged for the Dallas Summer Musicals’ High School Musical Theater Awards.

“A program like the one we had at Woodrow cannot exist in a vacuum,” Bircher said. “The community of students, parents, school administrators and personnel, as well as area businesses that we were blessed with at Woodrow was superbly supportive and cannot be surpassed anywhere that I know of. I was unbelievably blessed to have been privileged to work in that environment.”

Regarding the honor, Hardman said, “Fowler Communities delivered a beautiful luncheon. It was like a wonderful show. It was a perfect day.”

Taylor made for Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate.

The strength of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate has been boosted by the addition of industry veteran Gene Taylor.

During his 30-year career, Taylor has done it all. He has been in full-time sales as a top producer, but he has also managed, trained, and developed other agents. He is extremely wellconnected and has always lived by his father’s motto: “You can never know too many people.”

With a degree in accounting from Texas Tech University, Taylor has brought his ease with numbers to the business of real estate. Earning his residential sales license in 1985 and his broker’s license in 1988, he has been immersed in Texas real estate ever since.

Taylor’s commitment to the industry is exemplified by his extensive involvement in the MetroTex Association of Realtors.

Rising through the Government Affairs and TREPAC committees to the Board of Directors, he was named president of the association in 1998. Taylor holds the unique honor of receiving MetroTex’s two highest awards: the Lois Hair Bernays Award as Salesperson of the Year, and the Easterwood Cup as Realtor of the Year.

Taylor’s hard work and talent for fundraising have benefited the Junior League of Dallas, the Park Cities YMCA, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. His passion for his career and community is surpassed only by his unwavering devotion to his family. He takes great pride and joy in his three children — all of whom are graduates of Highland Park High School — and two grandsons.

Respected for his success and loved for his genuine warmth and friendliness, Taylor exemplifies the core values of a Texas gentleman and real estate executive.

“We are so pleased to add Gene Taylor to our roster of agents for life,” Dave Perry-Miller said.
