Room to dream in new economy By Holly Parker hollyjeanparker@gmail.com Justin Hancock hunches over his laptop, studying a dissertation on disabilities in the western world as part of his research for launching a non-profit, while Joseph Brewster, an entrepreneur in graphic design and branding, is behind him chatting on the phone with a client as fire engine sirens wane west on Elm Street. “I tend to read and write better when I have activity going on around me, and I like the collaborative spirit of this place. Generally, creativity, I think, breeds creativity. So that’s why I’ve stuck around,” Hancock said. Collaboration and creativity are important to Brewster, but business prowess and practicality are essential ingredients he was seeking when he signed up to join this growing community of co-workers at The Grove, 501 Elm St. “I think community is

I tend to feel like our current market is more people driven than business driven, which is to say the biggest barrier for consumers is trust and, for my business, I need to have an environment where I can build trust with potential clients,” Brewster said.
The Grove owners Ken Janke, Justin Nygren and Matt Smith intentionally set out to create this juxtaposition of non-profit and forprofit businesses working side by side in the same space in a collaborative effort to help themselves and each other. “In the past we
(non-profits and for-profits) have worked in silos and we are trying to break down those silos and cross-pollinate to spark creativity and ideation,” Janke said. The Grove is one example of a trending co-working

LOVE FIELD
After 68 years, Club Schmitz is closing
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com First it was announced that Uptown favorite The Loon must close to make room for a CVS Pharmacy. Then word reached that popular McKinney Avenue Mexican food restaurant Primo’s had closed and would become a pizzeria. Now, this past week, it was learned 68-year-old Club Schmitz, famous for cheap beer and cheap burgers, was yielding to expansion of the nearby RaceTrac gas station. Established in 1946, Club Schmitz at 9661 Denton Drive retained a roadhouse feel despite the fact Dallas has now grown up around it. Recently, it survived street
development and a DART rail line expansion that made access to the place difficult. Six-packs and cases of beer remain for sale. The food menu of amply-portioned sandwiches priced under $5 and fried items is still located on a pegboard on the wall. But the doors will soon close. Located near Love Field Airport in an area of residential and industrial properties, no full liquor license is held. Only beer and wine is served to a mix of older regulars and young professionals. Owners Bob and Larry Schmitz decided that the RaceTrac offer was too good to turn down. Club Schmitz is scheduled to close on May 31, when the “Free Beer Tomorrow” sign comes down.

After serving generations, the doors to Club Schmitz will close permanently in May.

LIFE ON THE TRAIL
Who’s in charge: your mind or your brain? By Beth Wuller
Beth@NeuGrooveCoaching.com
Many people assume that the power of positive thinking is achieved by wearing rose-colored glasses and acknowledging only the positives around us, effectively avoiding anything negative altogether. However, this overly optimistic approach tends to keep people ignorant of the realities of life - and leaves us unprepared to heal efficiently when horrible things do happen. I believe that the true intention of practicing a positive outlook is more about achieving a positive balance by actively deciding where you spend most of your “mind time.” By focusing your mind, attention and energy on the positive aspects of your life, you can acknowledge the negatives realistically without dwelling on them too much. We all have an ongoing internal dialogue that happens in our thoughts. Although it may sometimes feel like you have no control over this internal stream of consciousness in your brain, you actually do – by using your mind to choose. You are personally responsible for choosing which of your thoughts receive more of your attention - and thus
which thoughts have more power over your moods and reactions. In the book “Buddha’s Brain,” neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, Ph. D, and neurologist Richard Mendius, M.D., explain that “ ... the mind and the brain interact with each other so profoundly that they’re best Beth Wuller understood as a single, codependent mind/ brain system.” It can be hard to understand the concept of having a mind that can make decisions separately from our brain because the two are so interconnected. The key difference between the brain and the mind is that the brain passively receives input from experiences (information), and the mind actively makes decisions (opinions) about those inputs. According to Hanson and Mendius, “What flows through your mind sculpts your brain. Thus, you can use your mind to change your brain for the better – which will benefit your whole being and every other person whose life you touch.” Consider that any event that happens in a day is actually a neutral event, completely unrelated to you. Once you experience that event, but before you have time to
react, your brain assigns a value based on similar, past experiences. So your brain has already “decided” if this is a positive or negative input. Then your reaction forms, and typically is delivered accordingly. But if you are hyper-aware in that very moment, before you express a reaction, you can choose to interrupt this seemingly automatic response. You can slow down your mental processing and use your mind to choose from a range of possible reactions. Another way to look at this concept is that other people don’t have the power to “make” you angry. Your brain takes the input of the external experience, and the next step is up to your mind. When something disappoints you, it is your mind’s choice to show anger, understanding - or a myriad of other options. But ultimately, you can make a conscious decision as to how to handle the disappointment. Generally, people are not born with the ability to rapidly discern whether thoughts are coming from the brain or the mind – especially during the heat of a conflict. But, luckily for our loved ones, being mindful before choosing a reaction is a skill that can be learned and strengthened through awareness and practice. Next time you face a challenging situation, who will you allow to be in charge – your mind or your brain?
Happy 10th anniversary to Katy Trail Weekly. This is our tenth issue anniversary actually, but one can only imagine how difficult a job it is to produce content for a newspaper every week. I have the worst job in the America. Alright, I exaggerated. I have the second worst job in America. CareerCast just announced its annual survey of the 200 best and worst jobs in America. The second worst job is newspaper columnist. The worst job is lumberjack. Lumberjacks have it made. They never shave, wear cool Pendleton shirts and “sleep all night and work all day.” I have to shave and never get to sleep. They “cut down trees, eat their lunch and go to the lavat'ry.” I barely have time to take a ... break. On Wednesdays, lumberjacks get to “go shopping and have buttered scones for tea.” On Wednesdays, we have to stay up way past midnight to put this newspaper to bed. Lumberjacks “cut down trees, skip and jump and like to press wild flow'rs.” Wait a minute! This isn’t from encyclopedia.com. This is a Monty

Python skit! I need to doublecheck my sources. Despite hanging out in forests, I could see why being a lumberjack is a bad gig. The job is directly affected by adverse economic conditions such as recession, industry consolidaDavid Mullen tion, and municipal cutbacks. It is hard, dangerous and low paying. And, I assume, working around those saws there are a lot of lumberjacks named “Lefty.” CareerCast analyzed the most popular jobs, and developed a ranking based on four categories: environment, income, outlook and stress. Nine out of ten of the best jobs were in the STEM category: science, technology, engineering and math. Most of us call that the NERD category. Mathematician is the best job in America, but that ranking just doesn’t add up. Sure the midlevel income is $101,360 which, I bet, is an absolutely correct figure. They receive high marks for work environment and low stress (and balanced checkbooks?). I guess that a mathematician for a lumber mill earns a ranking somewhere in the middle of the pack. Tenured university
professors rank second. Now you’re talking! They get to wear tweed jackets with elbow patches or cardigan sweaters, drink lots of coffee, smoke a pipe and are surrounded by young people. Professors can take all the time they need to read, all the time the need to write and then get to take a sabbatical. Plus, some get called “Doctor” and never have to ask someone to “Turn your head and cough.” Statisticians - who all must work at CareerCast – rank third and ranking fourth are actuaries. Why is working with birds such a great job? Actually, an actuary doesn’t work with birds but determines how long something is going to last whether it be a person, place or thing. I wonder if they can predict how long their job will last. Newspaper reporters are downgraded for low pay, stress, hiring outlook and the move of newspapers to digital. Where do the digital news portals get their news from? Newspapers! I am aware that newspaper reporters are moving into the new media and daily newspapers are in an economic bind. But weekly papers continue as a source for local news and an avenue for merchants to advertise their goods and services. So maybe newspaper columnist is not that bad of a job after all. There is no work with power tools involved. And we recycle.

You can’t beat fun at the old ballpark
By Chris Phelps
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com It is hard to believe that Globe Life Park in Arlington is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. That said, fond memories remain of Arlington Stadium, which served as home to the Texas Rangers from 1972 until 1993. It was there that Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan struck out Hall of Fame left fielder Rickey Henderson for his 5,000 strikeout, Mike Witt pitched a perfect game, George Brett took his final at bat and Cal Ripken and Oddibe McDowell hit for the cycle. But the Rangers never won a pennant there. No flags over Texas. Then, this brand spanking new ballpark opens in 1994 where the fun really began. An All Star game, many league championship games and World Series games have been played there. Rangers’ success is now anticipated every season in Arlington. But Globe Life Park has yet to reach noteworthy status. That status is reserved for a special place that is five times older. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, just turned 100. When cable television was in its infancy, one of the few channels that were broadcast nationally was WGN — the flagship station for the Cubs. Vociferous Harry Caray was the lead announcer, joined by nasally color man Steve Stone. Put director extraordinaire Arne Harris in the mix and America got to see baseball’s best broadcast when much fewer games were televised. Wrigley Field looked so magical on TV — even when the Cubs were
Dallas has always been a fashion conscious city, so the Trail Mix hit Lower Greenville Avenue and asked local fashionistas: “What do you anticipate the spring fashion will be this season?” Tim Fuetz “For the spring fashion season, I anticipate more facial hair. I have seen a lot more beards and moustaches. Thank God, not on the ladies!”

losing — and Caray, in the booth after a few Budweisers, would belt out “You can’t beat fun at the old ballpark.” “My earliest memory of Wrigley was in 1968,” Chicago-area native and Dallas resident Tim Murphy said. “I just turned 12 and lived in Wheaton, Illinois. I used my own paper route money to take the train down to the city with a kid from my little league team named Troy Vallo.” “We’d walk about a mile from the Northwestern station to the El and take the Red Line up to Wrigley,” Murphy said. Murphy is an art director and designer who moved back to Dallas after another brutal Chicago winter dampened his love for the city. “This was a pretty big deal for a couple of kids from the suburbs,” Murphy said. “Getting off at the Addison stop you could see the outfield from the train platform. I remember thinking how green the grass was. We bought left field grandstand seats on the home team side of the field that I think were around $3 apiece. Walking up the steps to our gate, the whole field opened up and seemed so huge and revealed the famous ivy covered walls of the
outfield. It was the coolest place I’d ever been.” I first visited Wrigley in September 1984. I walked up to a Saturday game against the rival St. Louis Cardinals without a ticket, in pursuit of seeing a game in venerable Wrigley Field. The Cubs had — believe it or not — clinched a playoff spot. It was a beautiful day on the north side, and the people around Wrigley were abuzz. Walking up to the ticket window, I was greeted by a friendly, older woman. I explained that I had never been here and asked if she had a single ticket. “Hold on sweetie,” she said. She returned with a ticket that read “sec. O, seat O, row O.” “Will the usher know where this is?” I said. “Yes, sweetie,” she said. “Do they sell Old Style there?” I asked sheepishly. “Yes, sweetie,” she said. Turns out the seat she sold me was a folding chair on the WGN camera perch. It was the coolest place I’d ever been. No other baseball park has earned the moniker “The Friendly Confines.” It is baseball’s Xanadu. For a fan, it is simply the greatest place on the planet. And for a tried and true Chicago Cubs fan, it

Carrie Manning “I think this spring you will see several females wearing sheer chiffon. They will have to wear tight tanks under. The shirts will be bright in color and small designs on the sleeves.” Dylan Johnson “Fashion for this spring, I think, I would say, that the wife beater is out, but the v-neck T is in. Not only does it say casual but it says comfortable and it comes in many colors.” Dave Coke “Something that never goes out of style here in Texas is the skirt/dress and cowboy boot look. I am definitely looking forward to that! Something that I am not looking forward to is the dudes with their long sleeve button up shirts and rolled up shorts. No thank you, sirs!

GROVE cont'd from page 1 movement, which has enjoyed a small explosion in the Dallas area over the last eighteen months and a much larger global expansion since the first local network of co-working spaces was established in 2004 in Vienna, according to Deskmag.com, the online magazine about co-working. A year later, the trend had been established along the coasts of the US, however, did not begin to pop up in the interior states until after the 2009 economic downturn, Nygren said. By 2012, Dallas was home to only two coworking spaces but now supports more than a dozen, each with its own focus, its own mission, Nygren said. Typically, co-working spaces fold a mix of likeminded entrepreneurs with start-up ambitions into a common space to produce networking and collaborating opportunities in a similar industry. Co-working spaces profit by charging membership fees to access a variety of workspace and time, from part-time common space and

wifi to a dedicated office with 24-hour access. What sets The Grove apart from other co-working spaces is that the singular thread common among its subscribers is not the industry in which they work but rather the motivation for doing the work in the first place, “Change and social entrepreneurship,” Jenke said. “We want to help people think about how we make Dallas better.” The Grove opened in September with six members and has grown to nearly 60 with more than 50 businesses and non-profits working from the fourth floor of its West End home in a mere seven months. It’s expanded so rapidly that its owners have contracted to begin demolition to double the common area of workspace and add more dedicated desks and offices. Daryn DeZengotita, who works for a non-profit and is also an approved vendor for the City of Dallas, buzzes about the common area greeting several other members before settling in with two other co-workers she has pulled in to work on a project with her for the City of Dallas. She and

her co-workers work independently in a similar industry, but there is nothing about their relationship that would resemble familiar capitalistic competition. “It’s not a zero sum game. Essentially, we do the same thing but don’t feel like competitors at all,” Dezengotita said. “It’s not an accident. It’s not competitive. It’s collaborative. And it’s intentional.” For Janke, this attitude is critical to the success of The Grove, and experienced entrepreneurs like DeZengotita are part of the formula that makes The Grove work. “We offer our contributions to one another. That’s the beauty of our diversity. There’s a plethora of resources available to everybody. People are starting to realize that they really mean it when they offer what they have, and people need it, and want it and use it. And when that happens, magic happens, and we go farther than we would have alone,” Janke said. And for some members of The Grove, mining its diversity and resources for opportunity is fundamental to recovering from the lingering effects of the Great Recession
Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week is likely to see most individuals getting ready for something big that rests just over the horizon. Its power is brewing, and its effect is likely to be quite significant. It is absolutely essential that one and all prepare for its arrival, for those who do not will surely be rocked by the sheer force that it carries with it. It may sound to some as if this is something to fear, but quite to the contrary: It is something to anticipate with great eagerness, for it will result in much that is good, positive, forward-moving and significant in all matters personal, professional, recreational and otherwise. In short – it will affect everyone in all things to some degree. There will surely be those who feel that they do not have what it takes to meet the challenges that are just around the corner, but this is not the case. Even the weakest vessel can weather the coming squall, and when it has passed, the clouds will break and the sky will blaze with a warmth and light that everyone can appreciate. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may be on the verge of making a decision that will not sit well with others, but if you wait just a moment longer, it can be avoided. (May 6-May 20) – Take care that you are not turning an argument on its ear for selfish
reasons. Speak sense at all times! GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Health issues may take up some of your time, but not all. You'll realize that creativity can ease a difficult situation. (June 7-June 20) – You have a few big plans that you're working on at this time, but the week may require you to put a few of them on back burners. CANCER (June 21-July 7) Lasting solutions may seem rather impossible to forge, until you accept the fact that, with help, you can do almost anything. (July 8-July 22) – You're climbing the ladder with relative ease, but near the top, a formidable obstacle awaits. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You're going to want to learn more about what is happening around you than you can from the usual sources. Mount your own investigation. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You know what's important to you, and what matters at home and at work. You needn't cling to what another calls essential. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You're not likely to hear about the most important developments unless you go out and get the most up-to-date
news on your own. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Disagreement can actually be the surest way to reach consensus – eventually. Don't fear another's opinions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) As a loner, you can do much that matters to many; working with another, you can do it much more quickly, perhaps. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Something for which there is no hard evidence is likely to make itself known to you and only you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You have one or two tricks up your sleeve that you haven't told anyone about. Very soon, the time will come to use them. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Trust is a key issue, and where you find it will be considered home. Other places are certainly best avoided. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) The more specific your plans, the more likely others are going to be to help you when you ask. Avoid generalities. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You know what another is up to, but you don't know just how you can help. Several possibilities make themselves known to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Take responsibility for what happens to you and, more

and finding a place in today’s economy. “There’s so many people here who were let go and were downsized when the economy collapsed and are here to pursue their passions and, while that’s great, it’s also scary and horrifying,” said Sage Randall, a business manager for a firm operating from The Grove who struggled to find work after an unexpected and extended maternity leave in 2010. When Janke opened the flagship The Grove in New Haven, Conn., the recession was on many minds. “There were a lot of people who walked into their session in The Grove and said, ‘I’ve been unemployed for so long I have no idea what I’m going to do,” Janke said. Now, the New Haven The Grove occupies three floors and is a hub of economic entrepreneurship in that city, Janke said. “In that journey starting that Grove, I learned a lot about the power of grassroots movement for change,” Janke said. “Transformation is possible because when dreams are stewarded, lives are changed. And when lives are changed, our city is better.”

floors are hardwood and marble and, as you would imagine, every molecule of this home is in perfect condition and maintained like a Ritz property. You have the usual formals, but note how each room is so unique, elegant and soft on the eyes. Because this home was built at a time when entertaining was more formal (and children were not included, often tended by the nanny, I think we need to go back to those days) there are two dining rooms, one formal, one informal. There is a proper butler’s pantry because there were butlers in 1922. There is a large formal living room with adjacent study, plus a ginormous family room that opens to the terrace and backyard and overlooks the pool and fountain.
At the center of the home is something Hal Thompson could not have envisioned in his wildest dreams: a huge kitchen fit for the cast of Top Chef: Viking, Miele, two ovens, warming drawers, two dishwashers, rare granite slabs, two islands (THIS IS THE NEWEST HOME TREND, BTW), walk-in pantry, breakfast nook, wet bar with wine closet and wine room. Yes, I said wine room. Adjoining this center of culinary decadence is a house manager’s office and a mudroom with sink and bench. Upstairs, a knock-out master suite with fireplace, his and her closets and bathrooms, plus three bedrooms with en suite baths. On the third level, a craft room, game room and another bath.
Did I mention the exterior carriage house behind the pool, fountain and spa? Or the backyard cabana with a shower, outdoor kitchen and pizza oven? There is a reason why this home is listed at $14,500,000 with Erin Mathews at Allie Beth Allman … now, you can see why this home is setting a new standard for Highland Park pricing at $1,622.29 per square foot!

Living in the lap of luxury: renting vs. buying
By Mike Ai and Phillip Murrell If the vast array of Easter hats and pastel Polos at Easter at the Park this weekend is any indication, spring is upon us. This season is budding with a particularly optimistic view of real estate - people want to buy. But wait. Do you see all of those new apartment buildings elevating our skyline all over Uptown? Those are more apartments. It begs the question, what’s an Uptowner to do buy or rent? Here are some major differences in luxury of renting vs. buying that you should consider before choosing your next place to live.
Renting The Luxury of NonCommitment. Are you a commitmentphobe? Renting may be a better option for you, especially if you know you are not going to stay in one place for long. Conventional real estate wisdom says that you should plan on living in your home at least three years in order to see a potential return on your investment. The Luxury of Amenities. “BRB - I’m getting a drink at my apartment’s pool bar.” Yes, that’s right, the Madison
on Carlisle will not only be opening its opulent pool this summer - it will also feature a full service bar for residents. It is no surprise that people are continuing to rent when apartment developers are marketing such amenities as 24-hour full Mike Ai service concierge, valet parking, fitness centers, resort-styled pools, Jacuzzis, media rooms, cigar rooms, blow out salons and state of the art business centers.

Recipe of the Week Oven Fried Green Beans
I can’t believe how addictive these green beans are! I served them with “dijonnaise” sauce (mayonnaise and Dijon mustard mixed together), but horseradish mayo or even ranch would be just as delicious. 1 pound fresh green beans 2 eggs 2 cups breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Olive oil nonstick spray Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Rinse the green beans and trim the tops, then lay them on a paper towel to dry. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray. In a wide shallow bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and seasonings. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until mixed. Working a few at a time, dip green beans in the eggs, shaking off any excess egg. Roll in breadcrumbs until completely coated. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Serve with your choice of sauce. Recipe by Sara Newberry

DINING IN THE TRAIL
Egg-zactly the way to order: poached and fried By Will Woodruff Do yourself a favor and have brunch at Lark on the Park, 2015 Woodall Rogers Fwy. at Kylde Warren Park. Order the Lark Benedict and a Bellini Tini. Enjoy. Order one more Bellini Tini. Go home and take a glorious nap. I’ll go ahead and assume that I don’t need to describe this dish and get down to describing why it was so great. The eggs were poached perfectly, their yolks about the same texture as the silky, delicious hollandaise sauce that was restrainedly applied atop them. The protein options to underlay the eggs include Duroc ham, which is very good, or Lark’s house-smoked salmon, which is superior. The smoky tang and flaky texture of the salmon sets this preparation apart from and above the more typical cured fish offerings. Wolferman’s English muffins topped with gruyere and broiled provide the substrate, and each egg is topped by frisée tossed in vinaigrette, which adds delightful brightness and crunch. Even the potatoes on the side were not treated as an afterthought: halved baby gold potatoes fried with rosemary. It’s pretty difficult to make such a universal brunch staple as Eggs Benedict stand out, but I honestly cannot remember a better preparation. When you do go and have that brunch, be sure to avoid the Baked Eggs, which were a disappointment pretty much across the board. The eggs are cooked in a small cast iron skillet surrounded by beluga lentils into which has been added prosciutto sofrito, and the dish is topped with roasted tomatoes and labneh (strained yogurt). This sounds good in print, which is why I ordered it, but there were several problems. The least of which was the presentation; lentils are a difficult foodstuff to present well, and in this case the lentils ringing the central eggs had a dried-out, cookeddown appearance. The lentils’ appearance presaged their taste, which was bland despite the addition of the prosciutto. I cannot recall the last time I felt the need to reach for the

The Lark Benedict features perfectly poached eggs. salt shaker in a restaurant, but I did in this case. By far the worst problem with the dish was the eggs, which were overcooked to the point that most of the yolk was dry and crumbly and the whites rubbery. All this is to say: don’t order the Baked Eggs unless you fear runny yolks and seasoning. There are much better things to be had on Lark’s menu. My favorite way to enjoy the Lark is the bar service during lunch. There’s plenty to keep you occupied, including watching the staff in the open kitchen execute tickets, enjoying the revolving art displayed by local graphic designers on huge chalkboards
above the bar and along the walls of the dining area and engaging the bartender in a conversation about what’s inside the tiny whiskey barrels of aging alcohol and about other experiments the bar staff has been up to. Oh, and of course ordering a lunch Lark Martini, or as I like to say -Larktini, with my meal. The lunch menu is populated with a nice variety of apps, sandwiches, salads and entrees and is careful to include veggie options in each area. My personal lunch favorite is the Asparagus Tart entrée, partly because I’m an egg slut, but mostly because this is a well composed dish that doesn’t leave one feeling
sleepy during the afternoon. The pastry is a flaky phyllo dough in the shape of a rectangular bowl with the fromage blanc, gruyere, prosciutto, fried egg and asparagus goodness nested inside. Because silverware is provided, I use a fork and knife but think this would actually be more enjoyable eaten like a slice of pizza. In short, poached and fried – not baked.

JUST FOUND
For this fly fisherman, a creek runs through it
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com For 27-year-old Jeremy Lillard, fishing is more than a hobby. It is an obsession, accomplished in the most unconventional location. Lillard catches bass in Turtle Creek. Since he started fly fishing with his father as a 6-year-old growing up in Ft. Smith, Ark., Lillard became addicted to fishing even if he currently practices his
pastime in Uptown Dallas. He has found a fisherman’s paradise at Turtle Creek Boulevard and -“don’t reveal the cross street! It took me years to find this place!” In the silhouette of high rise living and the bustle of rush hour traffic, Lillard fly fishes on mornings and afternoons whenever he can at his spot near downtown Dallas. And he does so with a great deal of success. “I tell people that I could sit on the couch watching
TV for 30 minutes or do 30 minutes of fly fishing,” Lillard said. “I like to fish.” “If you want to be an angler,” Lillard said, “you have to find your own spot. I fished for five years down here before I learned how to catch them.” He likes to fish from a shadow and looks for spawning areas. “I sight fish,” Lillard said. “The fish are very active because they are spawning and protecting their territory.” Lillard, a licensed fisherman, know all of the nuances. He sees a group of spawns and knows that “Baby
Momma” is nearby. A catch and release fisherman, he chastises conventional fisherman who keep their fish. “Some guy from Frisco was catching them and sending them back to Louisiana,” Lillard said. “I ran him out of here.” “Most people down here conventionally fish,” Lillard said. ”I like to fly fish.” He fishes with a Clower Minnow – an artificial fly - on his line. “They like the brighter colors,” Lillard said, identifying his vibrant orange lure that attracts his prey. The salesman parks his Audi in a secluded spot near
his favorite fishing hole, pulls a tube from the trunk that contains his rod and is fishing in less than a minute. Within 10 minutes, he has caught a healthy bass. “That, Mr. Dave, is how you catch a bass!” Lillard said. “An overcast day is the best day to fish,” Liilard said. “It’s harder to fish in the summer. The fish are not spawning. Good fishing is determined by water condition, water temperature and water clarity.” Spring is a perfect time to fish, as long as a brief rainstorm hasn’t muddied the water. “I like the shadow,”
Lillard says, where the fish can’t see him. “They are smart. After you release them, they’ll come back after a while.” While walking, jogging and picnicking remains popular at Turtle Creek, fishing is still a rarity. Signs posted by local authorities’ state that there is “No fishing from the bridge.” Lillard fishes from the creekside. “It’s what I do,” Lillard said. “I bring people down here and show them how to fish. This is the best hobby I have ever picked up, I don’t see leaving it.”

Try starting the day with organic pasture raised eggs, including the yolk. Then have some avocado in your salad at lunch. For dinner, eat some grass-fed beef or salmon. Drink more water. Staying hydrated and weight training are proven to lead to increases in cortisol and decreased testosterone. Cortisol is a stress hormone that prevents the growth of muscle. Most men need at least a gallon of water per day. Sometimes more, depending on the weather and the amount you sweat. In addition to drinking lots of water, the less coffee and alcohol the better. Coffee will elevate your cortisol and disturb your sleep. Alcohol is also shown to decrease testosterone. Be a real man and take the steps needed to fix your testosterone. It will take discipline, but it is well worth it. You’ll be less stressed, have tons of energy, less body fat and bigger muscles.

What’s new? Tom Jones plays the Granada It’s unusual to see Tom Jones play in a small neighborhood theater, but the 73-year-old Welshman noted for hits like “What’s New Pussycat,” “She’s a Lady,” “Green, Green Grass of Home,” “Delilah” and “It’s Not Unusual” will be performing at the Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Ave. on Saturday, May 3. The legendary singer’s show begins at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $75. — David Mullen/Photo courtesy of the Granada Theater

Equest hosts 'Hats & Horses' From Staff Reports
info@katytrailweekly.com Equest, an internationally recognized therapeutic riding center for children and adults with all types of disabilities and learning differences, is hosting “Hats & Horses: A Texas Derby Day Soirée,” held on Saturday afternoon, May 3. This will be the inaugural event at the Texas Horse Park, 811 Pemberton Hill Road, the future home of Equest’s second location. “Miracles happen every day at Equest,” Susan Schwartz, co-founder of Equest Therapeutic Horsemanship, said. “We have riders whose doctors said would never have arm movement and would need 24-hour assistance. Through equine therapy, they are brushing their teeth and
combing their hair — things that doctors never thought possible. Our focus is on what our riders can do, not what they can’t do.” Guests will enjoy an afternoon of activities including cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, silent and live auctions and the much-anticipated riding demonstrations by Equest clients and their horses, offering a glimpse into the incredible bond between rider and horse. The Kentucky Derby will be simulcast at 5:20 p.m., and “Texas Derby” attire, including derby hats and boots, is encouraged for all guests, and a prize will be awarded for best hat. Individual tickets with open seating are $200 each. For reserved seating and sponsorship packages, contact triplecrown@equest. org or call Pat Robbins at 972-412-1099.

can be a house of horrors. “The first serious heartbreak was 1969,” Murphy said. “In first place for what seemed like all year and then we lost 17 out of the last 25 games. While we were losing, the Mets were winning. The misery. It was tough to put on my Cub hat for a while.” Wrigley still has a manually-operated scoreboard in center field. It still has smelly bathrooms. But things really changed a quarter century ago. “We got the lights in 1988. This was going to make a huge difference for our guys. Less day games in the sweltering Chicago summers,” Murphy said. The Cubs would make the playoffs just five times in the next 26 years. They have not been to the World Series since 1945. America’s favorite losers occupy last place today. “Living in Dallas, I don’t get to Wrigley much anymore,” Murphy said. “Went to a couple of games two years ago and the whole vibe has changed there. People aren’t really there for the ball game. They're mostly there for the social scene, to sit outside and catch some rays and drink beer. Which, considering the way the Cubs have let us down over the years; it might be the proper approach.” Happy 100th birthday Wrigley Field. Win, or mainly lose, you can’t beat fun at the old ballpark.

MOVIE TRAILER
Jude Law burns up the screen as 'Dom Hemingway' By Chic DiCiccio
derekdiciccio@me.com Jude Law is a very polarizing actor. While talented and charming, there are people who simply despise him and refuse to give him a shot. Law is like an acting version of Coldplay; you either love him or you hate him. There is little in between. The main reason people don’t care for Law is because he seems to always be a slick, smooth talking charmer who works his way out of a jam with ease simply because of his good looks. In “Dom Hemingway,” Law abandons all vanity. In fact, Law’s Dom Hemingway is one of the most obnoxious, foul mouthed, disgusting characters ever put on film. But try not to adore him. While the character Dom Hemingway is a blast to watch, the movie “Dom Hemingway” doesn’t really go anywhere. The story itself is pretty simple. Dom (played by Law) is released from prison after a 12-year sentence. After leaving prison, his first order of business involves the assault of a man for a fairly insane reason and then Dom proceeds to get loaded with his best friend, Dickie Black (Richard E. Grant). Dom does all this before speaking with his estranged daughter, Evelyn (Emilia Clarke). Needless to say, Dom does not prioritize very well. The reason that Dom is in prison is never truly found out, but it becomes clear that he could have avoided prison time if he had rolled over

on a lunatic mob boss, Ivan Fontaine (Demian Bichir). After a few nights of debauchery, Dom and Dickie are invited to Mr. Fontaine’s French villa where Dom expects to be handsomely rewarded for his loyalty. There’s not much more to it. “Dom Hemingway” is nothing more than a series of events that allow Law to showcase the wonderfully abrasive character that is Dom Hemingway. There are some basic plot advancements, but it’s done more to put Dom in horrible situations as opposed to moving from point A to point B. The director and screenwriter, Richard Shepard, is very familiar with this type of material. He also wrote the very underrated “The Matador,” which featured Pierce Brosnan in a similarly slimy, yet likable role. There are some very clever scenes that show off Shepard’s direction, but the real gold is the
dialogue. Shepard uses curse words very much like David Mamet in that they become poetic when used. But Shepard seems to know what works for him and he focuses solely on those things. He creeps up on a few seemingly heartfelt moments he immediately tears down with Dom’s abrasiveness.

clothes seemingly never, ever fit. Throw in a horrible crown on one of his incisors and any and all glamour and good looks are gone. Once you get over the overall appearance of Law, he speaks. Then he keeps speaking. Then he speaks more. He repeatedly refers to himself in third person. He verbally abuses everyone, but because his insults are so perfectly funny, it makes it all seem harmless when in fact, Dom is a violent maniac. “Dom Hemingway” won’t make much noise at the box office, and it’s not the type of indie movie that will win a boatload of awards. It is a movie that moves by very quickly and seems shorter than its already short 93-minute run time. It is solely worth watching if only for Jude Law’s amazing performance in which he seems to revel in destroying the Jude Law most audiences are used to seeing.
'The African Queen' floats again The 1951 film “The African Queen” will be afloat again at Dallas’ Magnolia Theatre at 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29. This “Reel Classic” is the latest offering in the Magnolia’s continuing “Big Movie” every Tuesday Night. Directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, “The African Queen” follows the adventure of a spinster missionary (Hepburn) as she escapes a Central African mission during the hectic days of WWI. Her only mode of transportation is an antiquated boat piloted by less-than-holy Bogart. Their expedition through the troubled waters, trying to avoid capture, is vividly directed by Huston. All three were nominated for Oscars, with Bogart taking home the only Academy Award in his career for his portrayal of Charlie Allnut. “The Big Movie” at the Magnolia Theatre continues in the following weeks with “Sunset Boulevard,” “The French Connection,” “Giant,” “The Public Enemy,” “Jaws," “What's Up Doc?,” “Cabaret” and “Soylent Green” ending this series in June. For more information, sign on to www.landmarktheatres.com. The Magnolia Theatre is located at 3699 McKinney Ave, in the West Village. — Ken Freehill/Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Shepard doesn’t let the movie go full Hollywood and wrap everything up with a cute little bow. There isn’t any indication that things are going to eventually take a sudden positive turn for Dom, which would only make the movie seem cheap and going for an easy ending.
There are several brilliant performances in this movie and, considering it’s a dialogue heavy movie, it needs it. Richard E. Grant gets to be the straight man for almost all of Dom’s crazed, manic rants and his timing and reactions are impeccable. Grant is part of one of the funniest sight gags in recent movie history, and his shock and outrage during it are riotous. For about the first five minutes of “Dom Hemingway,” Jude Law delivers an impassioned soliloquy. The subject of his tale would be Dom’s private parts. It is half insanity and half genius. It is also just the beginning of the bombastic screen explosion that Law delivers. This is a career defining and perhaps altering performance for Law. Everything about Dom Hemingway abandons the typecast predictability that Law usually brings to a movie. His hairline is brutally revealing, his gut is paunchy, and his
