Photographer unfazed by lunar eclipse
Photo by Can Turkyilmaz On late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, an uncommon lunar eclipse was visible in the Dallas sky. The stages were captured by Katy Trail Weekly and White Rock Lake Weekly photographer Can Turkyilmaz. “I was too lazy to put the camera on a tripod,” Turkyilmaz said. “I shot from 11:45 p.m. to 4 a.m. I watched NASA's live feed for the development of the phases and I went out every 20 minutes. I shot with a hand held Nikon D800 SLR and 200 mm lens. I have steady hands.” The lunar eclipse was evident in most of North America. Two more lunar eclipses, caused by the moon moving into Earth’s shadow, will appear in the next 12 months.

other blockbuster duos, their music is their own style of pure genius. Tuesday night’s opening of “Evita” at Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) was one of the best of DSM’s season. “Evita” has staged earlier productions at DSM, but this is the most memorable. Based on what history tells us about the character, Caroline Bowman captures Eva Duarte Perón’s ruthless manipulation, greed, passion and ambition for power, while representing herself as champion of the poor. At the same time she embodies elegance and beauty, with powerful vocals that are extraordinary. Bowman doesn’t play Eva — she is Eva. Award winning set designer Christopher Oram’s
presidential mansion, combined with Kristina Kloss’ dramatic lighting, is breathtaking. Oram also created the costumes. Fashion maven Eva’s gorgeous wardrobe is a piece of business in itself. Josh Young’s Che is another standout, with vocals in a class all their own. You would readily pay to hear him in concert. The ensemble couldn’t be more talented, set off by Oram’s period costumes and skilled choreography by Chris Bailey. The only thing missing is the unforgettable production number when stage is filled with a formation of officers in military attire performing a precision routine to a march beat. The slick tango

Vickery Towers will close its doors July 15, leaving their 243 residents to find new homes before then.
Senior residents must move, community offers support By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
When Lucian “Dutch” Siekman sits down to lunch with his friends these days, he says the conversation has changed. “Instead of asking ‘what’s on the menu?’ people are asking, ‘where are you going to live?’” Seikman is a resident of Vickery Towers on Belmont Avenue in East Dallas. On April 3, he and the other 242 residents learned the residential elder care and senior living community will be closing July 15. The self-deprecating funny man quipped, “They want us inmates out by end of June!” The skinny at the bingo table is that Emeritus doesn’t own the land the five-story property sits on, but regulators are set to require building updates including wider halls and new elevators, for example. The company doesn’t want to bear those expenses so it is closing down instead. Siekman lightens up the talk with, “They’re making more babies every day, but no one is making any more land.” Summer Hammerle, MHSA, is regional director of operations for Emeritus, which owns Vickery Towers. About Siekman, she said, “His sense of humor is indicative of the heart and attitude of many of our Vickery residents. They took the news with such poise and grace, and have been supportive of each other. They’ve formed
strong bonds with their neighbors.” Hammerle said the closure is based on building code progression that has occurred during the years. The company determined the amount of upgrading necessary to bring the 42 year-old building up to compliance with codes isn’t practical. “There have been several renovation eras which included the adding of dining rooms and kitchens, adding generators for emergency power and fire safety system including monitoring and sprinklers, attached interior walkways, new elevators and eight years ago we underwent a 16 million dollar renovation,” Hammerle said. She said the company thinks it will be best to relocate its residents to more modern senior communities, whether it’s one of the other Emeritus communities in the area, or another residence. Emeritus has several other Dallas area communities, including White Rock, Lake Highlands, North Dallas, Farmers Branch and others. Siekman said most residents have either moved already or found a place. He quipped, “I’ve been looking under the bridge but I haven’t found a spot yet.” Emeritus is offering its help to residents arranging their moves. “We’re having one-on-one meetings with our residents and their families to help them find solutions. Some are relocating to other Emeritus communities,” Hammerle said. The residence is also
providing bus tours to visit other residences and make comparisons. Vickery Towers held a senior living expo last weekend and have scheduled another. “We invited other facilities in addition to Emeritus communities. Many residents are choosing to move earlier than July, and we’re actively working with them and their families through the process,” Hammerle said. She and some of the staff have commandeered a conference room and set up a boiler room. They stuck boards on the wall with each of the 243 residents’ name and records updates. Bradshaw feels that, with the number of high quality living options that offer comparable rates around the area, she doesn’t anticipate any problems. “Other Emeritus communities are offering free rent for all of May and possibly all of June for those residents with memory issues.” Vickery Towers is working with a moving company to provide good rates to all residents. Emeritus is paying for the entire move for those moving to another Emeritus community. Other area residences outside of the Emeritus, Brookdale and Telisis locations are paying for moves to their community. In addition to the residents’ need to find another home, Vickery Towers’ staff of more than 115 are being displaced and must find new employment after the closure.

Dictionary” would be proud of). One caveat to the bucket list – items must be attainable by cash, credit card or sheer moxie. I am not going to put on the list a date with Anna Kendrick, or hanging out with the Pope, or walking on the moon. So let’s start today. I have been fortunate to have already seen a baseball game in every major league baseball park, which seems to be on many sports fans “bucket list.” I have already visited all 50 states. I have hot air ballooned many times and have no desire to climb Mt. Everest. I want a real challenge! I have already gone fly fishing in Colorado and got tennis elbow. I have navigated the choppy waters of San Francisco Bay in a small sailboat and got seasick. I have hit the green at the famous island hole on 17 at TPC Sawgrass - four times - before a golf ball finally held. I have already taken my “Mama to a Drama” and “Channeled my Inner Carnivore” at many places around town although that conquest remains unachieved. I have seen the Eiffel Tower and Mt. Rushmore and marveled at the engineering. I have ridden long distances on a train and marveled at the engineering. I guess I will just have to give more consideration to my “bucket list.” Maybe I will write a book about it.

MULL IT OVER
An outcome Barnett would never have called
Tr a il M i x By Javier Fuentes l javi@wdyms.com
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com In a business where luck often trumps skill, and audience comfort often trumps talent, Dave Barnett has it all. He is talented and skilled, lucky and likeable. A graduate of the University of North Texas (formerly North Texas State) and still residing in Denton County, Barnett has often been at the right place at the right time. “I was hired by KRLD (Dallas’ all news station) while in college to do news tape editing,” Barnett said. “They had the late Frank Giebler and Brad Sham for sports, so I started doing more features, and then I graduated. “I had done games at UNT, and then I got a chance to fill in for Sham doing SMU games,” Barnett said, preparing for the break of a lifetime. “Then the Dallas Mavericks came to town. “Mark Holtz (best known as the late Rangers announcer) got the play-by-play job and he was great. But he only lasted one year before the Rangers offered him a job. It was incredible good fortune,” he said. Still in his early 20s, Barnett was offered the radio play-by-play job for the Mavericks. Former Mavericks General Manager Norm Sonju brought him some tapes of other announcers to study. “They were limited to finding someone local (for radio) and only about 15 games were on television. I had to learn on the job. It took one full year to catch up with the speed of the game at age 23. “I didn’t feel like a beginner. I had to figure out and show my hand, which led to my own style,” Barnett said. For the next seven NBA seasons, from 1981 to 1988, Barnett was the lead radio announcer for the Dallas Mavericks. But then the San Antonio Spurs called with a television gig. “By this point, more games were on TV,” Barnett said. “The Spurs were about to get really good. They had drafted (Hall of Fame center) David Robinson the year before, and just hired (current SMU coach) Larry Brown to coach.”

Barnett married in 1986 “in the beginning of my sixth year with the Mavericks,” he said. His son was born in Arlington and his daughter was born in San Antonio. “San Antonio was a great place to raise a family,” Barnett said. He spent eight seasons with the Spurs. Established in television and radio broadcasting at only 37, Barnett moved his family back to the D/FW area where he took a job with ESPN. “Whatever is in season,” Barnett said, when asked of his favorite sport. ESPN afforded opportunities to work on a variety of events although Barnett is drawn “more toward college football,” which is ESPN’s forte. Fortune struck again when Barnett was at the right place at the right time. “I had known (Baseball Hall of Fame announcer) Eric Nadel from WBAP,” Barnett said. At one time, local radio station WBAP was the flagship station for both the Rangers and the Mavericks. “I was sitting at home when a couple of friends called and told me that the other Rangers announcer (Victor Rojas) was leaving.” Rojas had just taken a job with MLB Network. Without the massive, nationwide search that accompanies most major league play-byplay jobs, Barnett was back behind the microphone, this time with the Texas Rangers. “It was incredible,” Barnett said. “I have been a Rangers fan since day one. I knew I would never get a job like this.” Already known and popular in the Dallas market, Barnett fit right in. He and Nadel were seamless on the Rangers broadcasts, sounding like they had been working together for years. He also enjoyed a personal milestone. “I got to broadcast a World Series game in
2010,” Barnett said. In 2011, the Rangers relieved Josh Lewin of his television play-by-play duties and hired likable, local sports personality John Rhadigan to be the lead TV announcer. Rhadigan, who had never done baseball play-by-play at the major league level, struggled and lasted less than two months. Barnett was moved up to the television booth teaming with veteran color man Tom Grieve. Former major league pitcher Steve Busby was hired to replace Barnett on radio. Barnett finished the 2011 season and continued as lead TV announcer into the 2012 season. In San Diego, Calif. in the bottom of the eighth inning on the evening of June 18, 2012, in the most unexpected and bizarre manner, Barnett’s luck ran out. “I still don’t know what happened,” Barnett said. “I don’t remember anything. I never felt bad.” “Go-ahead run is at fifth (pause) on what (Rangers reliever Mike) Adams is insisting on calling it a botched robbery. What actually happened was (pause) his henchmen took a piece, literally, out of . . . ” Barnett said. For the next 15 seconds, Barnett went silent. Only crowd noise could be heard. Then he returned speaking and finished the inning and the broadcast. One could only speculate what had happened. The initial report was a migraine headache. “It is a medical anomaly. I had tests from one doctor to another. They don’t know what caused it. They don’t know what it was, but they know what it wasn’t. It is a ‘Catch 22.’” The Rangers removed Barnett from the broadcast team pending further testing.
Jenni Jane Hellstern “I already do a bit of eco-friendly activities. I grow my own vegetables and I try to visit the Farmers Market as much as I can. I also try to ride a scooter since the emissions on it are so much less than an actual car.”
David Russell “Our apartment doesn’t have a recycling program so we had to improvise. I was able to get a roll of city-provided recycling bags from Richardson which we fill up and then take to my mother-in-law’s where the city will pick them up.”
Danielle Sikora “My apartment doesn’t have recycling, which is a shame. Living in Dallas, you’d think that’d be a bigger priority. I do try to use a reusable mug or tumbler whenever I get coffee instead of wasting the paper ones all the time. I also try to use reusable ‘Tupperware’ to take my lunch.”
Veronica Alcantar “I like to recycle as much as I can. I do believe that Dallas’ decision to partially ban plastic bags will be helpful and encourages people to use re-usable bags and reduces the impact of grocery shopping in the environment. More businesses should incentivize customers to use those. I know Trader Joe’s enters you in a drawing for a gift card.”

Next time you’re stopped at a red light, you may be lucky enough to have DART bus No. 41046 in the next lane. That special vehicle bears artwork from Vivie Behrens, the 16-year-old winner of Best of Show in DART’s annual student art contest. It just might take a ride on other DART exteriors over time. Behrens and her family made a scheduled stop at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) where the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts sophomore was presented with the award. In addition to her art displayed on a DART bus, Behrens poster is hanging on the second floor of the DMA. She also earned a $1,000 cash award. DART’s annual contest was open to grades K-12 at area schools, and drew 951 entries from 92 schools. Awards are presented in a number of different categories, including elementary, middle and high schools. “Off we go!” was this year’s theme. All of the winning entries are displayed on DMA’s second floor or can be seen at http:// bit.ly/1m0vvaa. Behrens’ poster will also be entered into another

Vivie Behrens, Booker T. Washington High School of the Performing and Visual Arts sophomore, won best of show at this year's annual DART student art competition. She won a $1,000 cash award, and the honor of having her artwork displayed on the side of DART busses. DART competition at D/FW airport. Thaddeus Behrens, Vivie Behrens’ father said, “My wife, Amy and I are so very proud of her. So is her little sister, seventh-grader Cicily. We always knew she was talented, now the world knows it! Vivie’s been burning up Facebook since we got home!” According to the winner, “Of course I’m very honored that DART chose me as Best of Show. It’s neat that DMA provided the venue for the
presentation and is exhibiting my work, along with that of other winners. I appreciate the local businesses who helped provide the prize money.” When asked what she will do with the winnings, Behrens said she will put cash toward new art materials, and sock the rest away for college. The artist has designs on attending a liberal arts
college or university and aspires to attend Parsons School for Design in New York or Savannah College of Art and Design. The former Ursuline Academy student said she definitely plans to use art in her career. “I expect to be pursuing art, which is what makes me happiest. I see it as a significant part of my future.”

BARNETT cont'd from page 3 Because testing took so long, Barnett never returned to the broadcasts. “I figured they would take me off of the air for a couple of days,” Barnett said. The Rangers promoted Busby to television broadcasts, and brought up Matt Hicks from the Nolan Ryanowned Corpus Christi Hooks to replace Busby on the radio. The television and radio broadcast teams remain unchanged today. Now 55-years-old with more than 30 years of big league experience, Barnett thinks there is a perception that he may have become too expensive for his profession or that another on-air episode could occur. Subsequent broadcasts, such as UNT football telecasts, have proceeded without incident. He is currently slated to broadcast a handful of Big 12 baseball games on FOX Sports 1. Barnett thinks that if they had a name for what caused his episode, he would be back broadcasting fulltime. “I will consider any

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) It's important for you to keep tabs on all developments, both large and small. Internal rhythms may be changing. (May 6-May 20) – Give yourself more of a chance to do what doesn't come easily; repeated efforts will eventually pay off.

Your Stars this Week The coming week is likely to see many individuals going through subtle changes of all kinds – some intentional, some unintentional, some completely unconscious and uncontrived, some the product of much thought and planning. The important thing is that everyone who is going through any kind of transformation at this time will do it from the ground up. Even the tiniest and most invisible of changes must happen internally first, and externally second. Even something as basic as a new hairdo must be an extension of something that happens on the inside; if not, the resulting beauty will truly be only skin deep! The temporary is likely to take on greater significance than usual, in ways both good and bad. There are those who will shy away from anything that doesn't appear to be lasting or permanent, but they are forsaking a great deal of potential by turning away from temporary developments that can lead to permanent rewards.

Outside and inside of the house located at 4645 Chapel Hill Road currently listed for $1.95 million. White Rock Lake. As I was driving to the Mad Hatters luncheon at the Dallas Arboretum last week, I passed by this house and stopped dead in my tracks on West Lawther Drive. In fact, it was the reason why I missed half of Jam Strimple’s fabulous fashion show. It was entirely worth it. I was driving in front of 4646 Chapel Hill Road, one of the most beautifully situated homes in Dallas. Set on 1.03 acres and fronting Chapel Hill Road, this home overlooks White Rock Lake with clear, 180-degree lake views. The wind was blowing, sun shining, there were slight waves, and I was, while standing in front of this home, transported into a tranquility state of mind. No wonder we are drawn to beach homes!
Here’s the deal: it’s a steal. Previously listed at $2,149,000, Doris Jacobs over at Allie Beth Allman now has it for $1.95 million. Built in 1976, the home was remodeled in 1995 and is a statement of late mid-century modern design. This home is so like the homes I grew up in. And get this: I have the very same black Chinoiserie china hutch in my dining room. It’s by Drexel and was my mother’s. In 1976, architects knew what they were doing. This home is built into the hillside like a brick you-know-what, has high ceilings and was built with steel girders. The floor plan is open, with floorto-ceiling windows showcasing the water views. Who loves terrazzo floors? I do! We had them in our home on Melissa Lane and let me
tell you, easy care, they last far better than limestone, are cool in summer and can be warmed in winter with a rug. Chapel Hill has 4,900 square feet with three bedrooms, formals, four and one half baths, one of which is a spacious master with split his and hers baths. I spy some Sherle Wagner. I’m not going to lie — I think the home needs work. The kitchen needs to be ripped out faster than a reality show season. The home was first built by O. V. Campbell, who owned the Texas Schoolbook Depository, and a whole block of downtown Dallas. He had parties galore here — Frank Sinatra and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and dancing by the lake. The large entry is classically flanked by formals then enters the Great
Room with those dramatic views of the lake. All three bedrooms have lake views; two are on the lower level with full baths. The closets are large, rooms are well proportioned and the square footage is not out of sight. To me, this location is such a jewel I would totally grab this house and lock in the location, then slowly start the renovation process. And I’d walk by the lake every day!

Love Field and the Dallas/Fort Worth controversy
By Wayne Swearingen Some Saturdays, I would rent a Cessna or a Bonanza to keep up my flying skills from my Air Force days. I had to re-train in small aircraft, having spent the last part of my military career flying the six engine jet bomber, Boeing B-47. One sunny day in 1961 I
decided to fly over and land at the vacated Amon Carter Field in west Fort Worth. I heard the major airlines had moved back to Love Field with the advent of new jet passenger service for civilians. I called the Amon Carter tower and asked for landing and parking instructions. They replied “park anywhere you like.” I soon
got the picture. I parked in number one position, walked into the large, beautiful, empty terminal - and enjoyed a sandwich all by myself. I would soon learn that people in Fort Worth blamed Dallas and Love Field for a series of mistakes and failed efforts to bring international travel to Fort Worth. Here is the story seldom told.

The City of Fort Worth established the Fort Worth Municipal Airport (now Meacham Field) May 23, 1925. The first airmail flight from that airport was flown in 1926 by National Air Transport Company, now known as American Airlines. As early as 1940, a regional airport for the D/FW area was being considered. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approached the City of Arlington, which had centrally located land. Arlington was to deed 1,000 acres to the project, and the CAA was to build the landing areas. Construction began in 1942, but a disagreement over which way the terminal building should face ended construction of this Midway Airport in 1943. In 1946, Fort Worth hired a firm to prepare an airport plan for the city of Fort Worth. Midway Airport again took life, and it was then named Greater Fort Worth International Airport. In 1948, the CAA National Airport Plan recommended that the Greater Fort Worth International Airport be expanded to become a major regional airport. Fort Worth annexed the site and continued to develop the airport with the support of American Airlines. In 1950, the Fort Worth City

LIFE ON THE TRAIL
Measuring happiness on a worldwide basis
By Beth Wuller
Beth@NeuGrooveCoaching.com
Welcome to the last column of a four-part series created to explore perspectives on happiness. This series was originally inspired by the United Nations International Day of Happiness March 20, and by Gross National Happiness USA (gnhusa. org) and its promotion of the Pursuit of Happiness Day April 13. To close this series, I’d like to describe the origin of the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and how it is evolving to be measured in our country.
concept was formalized as GNH is a metric the a desired metric of progress United Nations, the US and for the country by the fourth many other countries have King of Bhutan. adopted from He coined Bhutan. When the phrase “Gross the Kingdom National Happiness” of Bhutan was unified in 1729, as a measure to give its original legal equal importance to code declared non-economic asthat “if the pects of well-being. Bhutan began orientGovernment ing its national policy cannot creBeth Wuller and development ate happiness plans toward GNH, for its people, and eventually began surthere is no purpose for the veying its citizens to deterGovernment to exist.” This mine scores against this new was the first historical refermetric. ence to such a concept. Bhutan caught global Almost two and a half attention for its unique centuries later, in 1972, the
approach to measuring the progress of its community and nation, and in 2008, Bhutan held the fourth Annual Gross National Happiness Research Conference to share results with the rest of the globe. Sixty-six international guests attended, of which six were from Vermont. In 2009, those six inspired attendees established the Vermont-based, non-partisan, non-profit organization Gross National Happiness USA (GNHUSA). According to GNHUSA. org, “GNH is based on the premise that the calculation of ‘wealth’ should consider
other aspects besides economic development: the preservation of the environment and the quality of life of the people.” The ideas brought back from Bhutan by this determined group have led to a local perspective shift. In 2012, the Vermont legislature passed the “Genuine Progress Indicator” (GPI) bill. The GPI includes 26 indicators – categorized as economic, environmental, and social – that give a broader picture of the sustainability of growth. The purpose of measuring GPI is to supplement the measurements of Gross State Product and Gross
National Product, both which narrowly focus on financial wealth. Maryland is the one other state that has officially adopted GPI as a metric. Others are exploring and discussing it, but have made no official commitments yet. As it continues to be explored and adopted by more states, GPI can take the spirit of the initial GNH concept to a much more sophisticated and measurable level in the US. And, in my opinion, we have those original six people in Vermont to thank for starting this movement in the US just six short years ago.

Local heroes join forces to Carry The Load By Brian Gile Carry The Load announced today the dates for its 2014 National Relay, which will begin April 29 in West Point, NY, and end with its 20 hour and 14 minute Memorial March in Dallas, during Memorial Day weekend May 25-26. The vision of Carry The Load is to restore the true meaning of Memorial Day by connecting Americans to the sacrifices of our military, law enforcement, firefighters and rescue personnel, and to support charitable organizations around the country that help them and their families. “What was meant to be a day of remembering the sacrifices of our fallen military men and women has become a weekend of sales, barbecues and mini-vacations,” Clint Bruce, co-founder of Carry
The Load, said. “And though it is a wonderful weekend to celebrate family and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, the true purpose of Carry The Load calls all of us to ‘never forget to remember’ those who made that ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.” This year, Carry The Load will log more than 2,000 miles across the nation with relay points in more than 230 cities. Carry The Load encourages people in communities and towns throughout the route to join the National Relay in an effort to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and share “who they are carrying.” This year’s national nonprofit partners are Team RWB, TAPS, Snowball Express and Heroes on the Water. “Through the efforts of Carry The Load, we are
all able to express our respect and admiration for those who sacrifice for us every day,” Bruce said. “Memorial Day is the perfect time for family members and friends to take time to show their appreciation by participating in the Relay, whether that is walking, biking, running, raising money or just cheering on those walking through your community.” Visit CarryTheLoad.org to join the National Relay, make a donation or to share your story. The website provides a town-by-town overview, lists activities planned in local cities and highlights the progress of the crosscountry event.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Trinity Hall great for football, not food By Sara Newberry Walking into Trinity Hall is like visiting a house decorated in a style called “generic spinster;” fading flowered wallpaper covers the walls, and all of the furniture is dark wood with mutedcolor cushions. Frou-frou dishes and cutlery complete the picture. We managed to arrive for brunch right at the start of a very important English football (soccer) match, so what we’d hoped would be a leisurely Sunday meal turned out to be less leisurely and more nerve-wracking, with a large crowd shouting every few minutes about the game they were watching. (I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, just not what we were necessarily in the mood for. If you haven’t watched a match with a bunch of mildly rowdy English people, I highly recommend it; it’s lots of fun and the spectators are almost more interesting than the action on the pitch.) Brunch consisted of bangers and mash and corned beef tacos. Both were fine, but not mind-blowing. The bangers (sausages) were perfectly cooked, with slightly crisp casings that had delicious snap when I bit into them. The mashed potatoes alongside were either the smoothest mashed potatoes I’ve ever had or were made from potato flakes. And I missed the mushy peas and HP sauce that are usually present in this meal. Sides of cabbage and mixed vegetables were probably healthier than mushy peas, but I missed them. My husband loves corned beef and tacos separately, so I knew he would order those as soon as I saw them on

The Bangers and Mash at Trinity Hall the menu. (And because he ordered them at the North Texas Irish Festival last year.) He appreciates the combination of the briny beef and sweet cabbage accented by the addition of a corn tortilla (it actually works really well). These, though, were oddly bland. Corned beef is usually intensely flavored, but this had almost none. Queso and pico de gallo helped some. We returned for dinner and took advantage of a glorious spring-like evening to sit on the patio. It’s sparse — like one would expect a patio in a shopping center to be — but

I absolutely love freshly made salsa. Nothing is quite as authentic as garden-fresh ingredients paired with a crisp tortilla chip. This recipe makes it possible to have it pretty much any time your taste buds need a little spice.

because it’s on the second floor, the views are great. This meal was much more relaxed, once the gentleman shouting “ROLL TIDE” over and over left for the evening, presumably to go drink somewhere else. We started with the curry and chips. The chips were perfectly cooked, golden and crisp, but the curry sauce resembled curry only in color: it was a lovely shade of yellow, but the flavor was more like mildly seasoned white gravy. A French dip sandwich was the most successful plate we tried at Trinity Hall. The sandwich was loaded with sliced beef, grilled peppers and Swiss cheese and the jus served with it was rich and just a little salty (as it should be). Leg of Lamb was fine: the lamb was tasty, but the plate was mostly uninspired: there was no mint flavor in the sauce, and the mixed vegetables didn’t add much interest to the plate. Service was basically friendly but seemed either stressed or uninterested. On both visits our server
disappeared for extended periods, leaving us with empty glasses or plates waiting for a refill or the check. Trinity Hall has a huge beer and whiskey selection, and is an ideal place to experience Premier League soccer or sit outside and peoplewatch while enjoying a beverage. But I’ll likely head elsewhere for dinner. Trinity Hall 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane Open daily from 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. (earlier if there is a soccer match) 214-887-3600 trinityhall.tv

For this young entrepreneur, the skyline’s the limit
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com The idea wasn’t an epiphany or even the least bit revolutionary. But 29-year-old Palmer Dean is starting to generate success from a combination of hard work, superior knowledge of social media, e-commerce and necessity. The Park Cities native grew up as a typical Park Cities child. He went to University Park Elementary, Highland Park High School and attended the University of Arkansas. Upon returning to Dallas, “I had 25 jobs from 2010 to now,” Dean said. “I even considered joining the military.” For a while, he had a real job at a staffing and recruiting agency specializing in technology. “We supplied temporary candidates. But the market is so hot people were jumping ship and getting hired fulltime.” His inspiration came at the Katy Trail ... Ice House, not the path. “I was watching all of the patrons wearing graphic t-shirts, and I thought, ‘Am I even in Dallas?’” So he sketched the Dallas skyline on his iPhone,

But that is about to change. “We have a deal with Luke’s Locker,” Dean said. “They will have the shirts soon.” Both the City of Dallas and the Dallas Visitors and Convention Bureau have shown interest, as have Convention and Visitor Bureaus in other cities. Outline the Sky’s corporate headquarters is “ ... a garage near Lovers Lane and Inwood Road,” Dean said. Printing is still outsourced, but with the help of some venture capital money
he hopes to have an office soon. Dean also plans to add a philanthropic component to Outline the Sky. “I had all of these t-shirts in my car. And I was thinking there are people in cities that don’t have shirts. They are sleeping under the skyline.” So he headed down to Oak Lawn Avenue and I-35, an area heavily concentrated with homeless people. “I started handing out shirts,” Dean said. “I have some back-end partners,” Dean said, “but right now it is just me day-today.” Not bad for a guy with a mile long resume who, while having a beer, decided to reach for the stars.

THEATER
Turtle Creek Chorale, Uptown Players present “Sweeney Todd” By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
Following Uptown Theatre and Turtle Creek Chorale’s highly lauded collaboration last year of the concert version of “Ragtime,” Mark Lowry for Theater Jones said, “ ... it’s a good guess that this will be the first of many co-productions of these two organizations.” Lowry was correct, as the winning team of Trey Jacobs, Artistic Director of Turtle Creek Chorale (TCC or Chorale) and Michael Serrechia, Director (UP or Uptown) team up again for a concert version of Stephen Sondheim’s thrilling, dark and award-winning, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” For this second collaboration, which includes a cast of more than 150 singers and actors, UP and the Chorale will return to the Dallas City Performance Hall Thursday, April 24 through Saturday, April 26. The chilling Broadway musical thriller garnered nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, Original Score and Book. According to Uptown Theatre’s promotion, “This musical thriller tells the story of Benjamin Barker, aka Sweeney Todd, who returns to London after 15 years of false imprisonment. Aided and abetted by the pie-shop owner, Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney sets out to avenge the wrongs done to him and his family. The haunting sounds of this musical include “No Place like London,” “God that’s Good,” “Joanna” and “Worst Pies in London.” Jacobs said, “Directing music for this work with UP has been a wonderful

There is lots of crossover between Uptown and the Chorale, and UP’s Jeff Rane and Craig Lynch are wonderful to work with.” He added, “I love, love, love (Michael Serrecchia’s) direction and the picture he paints.” Before coming to Dallas, Jacobs spent four years as Assistant Professor and Director of Choral Activities at Eastern Michigan University. While there, his choirs performed at the Michigan American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) convention and for the Michigan Music Educators conference. In July 2011, he was the high school choral conductor for Blue Lake Fine Arts camp in Michigan. According to Jacobs, “Uptown’s entire cast is exceptional. Brian Mathis as Sweeney has an incredible
voice, and his performance is spot on. Jenny Thurman is hysterical as the immensely talkative, but endearing Mrs. Lovett.” Thurman is especially accomplished for her portrayals of Patsy Cline in a number of productions. TCC, dressed in concert black, forms the backdrop, while the set is bare bones. UP actors take the stage in full costume, created by the multiple Column Awardwinning team of Michael Robinson and Suzi Cranford of The Costume Shop. “We are happy to be working with TCC and UP again after last year’s successful collaboration,” Cranford said. Other recognizable, local cast members include John Campione, Kristen Lassiter, Tom DeWester and Jay Gardner. Susan Riley, Peter DiCesare and Jacob Barnes round out the experienced cast.
The award-winning, 175voice all male Chorale is in its 34th season with more than 175 volunteer singers and associate members. TCC presents a full concert series at the Meyerson Symphony Center and Dallas City Performance Hall every year, in addition to holding performances around town through community outreach. In its 13 years, Uptown Players has been the recipient of more than 25 Leon Rabin Awards from the Dallas Theatre League, and countless nods from The Column awards and the Theatre Critics Forum awards. While entertaining more than 15,000 patrons each year, the company has also been recognized by all of the major Dallas media, earning honors from many including D Magazine, WFAA and the Dallas Voice Readers awards. Serrecchia earned
Theater World and Drama Desk awards for his work on Broadway during 18 of his 40 years in theater. He appeared in the original Broadway cast of “A Chorus Line” and was also in Broadway’s “Seesaw” and “The Rothchilds.” He appeared in feature films including “Jeremy” and “Annie,” and appeared as a guest on some daytime television series. The theater veteran said, “We have an incredible cast and we get to tell a great story with a flawless score. Audiences should expect a wonderful evening of Sondheim; 150 voices, an orchestra and a fully-staged story in a wonderful venue.” For tickets, call (214)5263214 or visit www.turtlecreek. org for information.

MOVIE TRAILER
No level of suspension of disbelief can save “Transcendence” By Chic DiCiccio
derekdiciccio@me.com As a society, we’ve reached a point where the Internet is indispensable. We need it for work and everyday life. We depend on computers more now than at any point in human history. “Transcendence” is a movie about the digital age and just how far technology can take us as a society. Can artificial intelligence save the environment? Can it advance medicine to a point where there is no longer disease or famine? These are all interesting questions scientists spend lifetimes examining. Sadly, “Transcendence” fails to approach reflection of these subjects and instead props up several moral and ethical dilemmas without delivering anything gratifying. Johnny Depp plays Dr. Will Caster, a brilliant scientist who has dedicated his life to creating artificial intelligence that essentially has its own free will. He has partnered with his wife, Evelyn (Rebecca Hall), and best friend, Max Waters (Paul Bettany), on this quest. In the first in a long line of reality-stretching moments, a terrorist group called RIFT attempts to murder Will (done by a fairly unrecognizable Lukas Haas). Will sort of survives the attack, but only in a way that allows him to live for another 30 minutes of movie. Using a program created by Joseph Tagger (a sleepwalking Morgan Freeman), Evelyn and Max essentially copy Will’s brainwaves into
a large mainframe computer in an attempt to “save” him. Once Will is uploaded and “talking,” he immediately demands an Internet connection (don’t we all?) so he can have more power and access bank records, security agencies, etc. Evelyn, a brilliant scientist, goes right along with this idea despite Max’s hesitancy. For someone who seems to be very much into critical thinking, she tosses all that out the window so she can simply have a computerized version of her husband, regardless of the legitimate dangers it creates. Once RIFT gets wind of this, the anti-technology terrorist group (led by a completely wasted Kate Mara) goes about trying to stop it and attacks Evelyn, abducts Max - and does several things that would upset the NSA. At this point, “Transcendence” is a decent and smart thriller. Then, things that are impossible to go unnoticed start to happen, such as when Max is abducted by RIFT for several years. It also doesn’t address how Evelyn, led by a fully sentient computer version of Will, gets away with robbing the world blind to fund their massive plans to create the perfect society in the middle of the desert. “Transcendence” falls apart when it comes time to make ethical choices. Instead of leaving anything up to an audience’s interpretation, this shaky script by Jack Paglen calls in the Marines and it suddenly becomes a Michael Bay movie. But, the true eye-rolling

moment comes when “Transcendence” has the audacity to suddenly throw in a Freeman voiceover. Anyone who can stay in the movie and not internally mock what they are seeing and hearing is surely not aware of what an Internet meme is.

outcome for any of the characters involved. “Transcendence” is a very ambitious movie. It wants to be a thought-provoking thriller that makes you question whether or not a perfect, pristine society is worth losing human free will. Unfortunately, it gets lost along the way and ditches any and all logic, making it impossible to suspend your disbelief to the degree required. Essentially, “Transcendence” isn’t thrilling enough to ignore all the preposterous moments that rapidly pile up. A movie doesn’t have to take a stance on the issues it brings up, but it should at least allow an audience to think about it. Instead, “Transcendence” says forget all that and let’s all live in caves because dealing with these dilemmas is just too darn hard.

shoot a movie. This movie relies heavily on effects, but they are never in the forefront, demanding your attention. Every single shot is perfect and massive in scope, even during quiet moments when two characters are simply talking. For the first time in a long time, Johnny Depp isn’t slumming in a role. He’s initially very charming and
quirky (his specialty), but then “Transcendence” wastes all that. He drones on and on about saving people and making the perfect collective society, but there isn’t anything to really care about because it’s being done in such a creepy, emotionless way. Max is the emotional center of the movie, as he is the only character who seems to use the human free will and consciousness that the movie is so obsessed with. Everyone else is on one side of the fence, either against the idea of a computer playing God or for it. Bettany’s Max sees both sides, but knows it can’t swing too far either way. Not only is Max torn in a moral way, he’s emotionally tied to two people he deeply loves in Will and Evelyn. He really does a fantastic job in a movie that abandons anything that could make an audience care about the
