LOCAL SECURITY
‘Soft targets’ everywhere, not just entertainment districts By Stephanie Kuo/KERA News The Orlando nightclub shooting has prompted businesses across the country and in North Texas to boost security. In Dallas, police are working with the FBI to watch over entertainment districts, like gay-friendly Oak Lawn. But some national security experts argue ramping up security in everyday spots may not be the most effective solution. Nightclubs, restaurants, buses, schools and shopping malls. They’re known as “soft targets,” places with little security where lots of people stroll freely, places that can be easy for terrorists to strike. “The reason terrorism continues to exist is because it’s very adaptable,” said Sahar Aziz, an associate professor at the Texas A&M Law School in Fort Worth, specializing in counterterrorism and national security. “They look to see where the governments, the militaries or the police forces are focused and then they find the places where they’re not focused, because they know that it is practically impossible to protect everything and

Experts argue upping security measures in “soft targets” fundamentally alters our way of life. everyone at all times.” Security officials in the U.S. have long feared these places would become more common targets. And during the weekend, that fear became reality when Omar Mateen killed 49 people and injured more than 50 others in a shooting spree at a gay nightclub in Orlando.
In Dallas' Oak Lawn area, security has been a constant concern since a spate of assaults against gay men late last fall. Lee Daugherty, who owns Alexandre's, a gay bar on Cedar Springs Road, led the push to improve safety in Oak Lawn following the assaults. He said the Orlando shooting at the gay nightclub, Pulse, hit close to home. “We improved the infrastructure of security cameras, added armed security at nights and on weekends, and did exterior facing cameras, so we not only focus on the inside of our business but also focus on the outside to protect staff members and patrons,” Daugherty said. Daugherty doesn’t foresee increased security in the wake of the Orlando attack. “We’re going to continue going in the direction we are — volunteer patrolling and fighting complacency and maintaining the vigilance that we’re seeing,” Daugherty said. On Sunday, though, Mayor Mike Rawlings announced that Dallas Police will boost its presence in entertainment districts.

MUSICAL PREVIEW
Winspear invites families to ‘be our guest’ By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
When Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” opened on Broadway in 1994, it was the beginning of America’s 13-year love affair with a singing teapot, candelabra and fork, as they danced their way across a palatial dining room in a grand palace. Of course, there have been other stage versions of the piece worldwide, but the story has roots in an 18th century French classic. The 1994 Broadway production became the ninth longest running musical on Broadway, and casts have toured more than 120 cities and 21 countries.

“Beauty and the Beast” will fill the Winspear Opera House with fantasy. A singing wardrobe is expected to dance for a short run from June 22-26. The Broadway show has garnered about two dozen Tony nominations and is the winner of Theatre World’s 1994 award. We talked with native East Dallasite actor Robby Benson for some insights into the Beast. Despite Benson’s own soft voice, the actor provided Beast’s resounding, powerful and frightening voice in the 1991 animated
film version of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” The award-winning and nominated actor is also a playwright, author, director, writer and voice-over artist. “Beast is a complex character. His reality is that the world, universe, galaxies, time and space revolve around him,” Benson said. “He is like a 2-year-child, who wants to be president of Beastland and throws a tantrum.” Benson added that Beast bullies, intimidates and frightens everyone around him, and needs to learn to treat others with compassion and love. “Belle ignites Beast’s see GUEST on page 8

With all of the recent rains, maybe the Trinity River would be better served by a gondola than by a tollway … My residential street in Oak Lawn is now celebrating seven weeks of closure and counting. A David Mullen street party with my neighbors can’t be far behind. We already have an obstacle course. It makes one want to consider renting an apartment. That said … According to a survey by real estate website RentCafe, Dallas has among the highest rent projection increases for 2016 among major metropolitan areas, and currently comes in fourth behind San Francisco, Sacramento and Portland with a projected increase of 7.3 percent by the year's end. The current average rent for a Dallas apartment is $1,101. Rents are also up in Austin and Houston, but not to the degree they are in Dallas. The national average for an apartment hit an alltime high of $1,181 in March 2016, which is up 5.7 percent from 2015 … Another interesting statistic comes from The National Multifamily Housing Council, which reports that 37 percent of the U.S. population rents and 63 percent owns. But in Dallas, renters make up 55 percent of the population. Doesn’t 55 percent of Dallas live in The Village? … Maybe it is time to move into a college dormitory. I don’t know if it’s
cheaper, but you will be safer. According to background checks.org, of the more than 80 four-year colleges and universities in the state of Texas, the Dallas area has three of the safest in the top eight. UTDallas in Richardson comes in at eighth, University of Dallas in Irving is fourth and Dallas Baptist University is the safest four-year college in Texas, based on campus crime rates computed using the number of crimes per 1,000 residents. And they have a very good baseball team … Many area apartment buildings have stiff criteria for renters to meet. But increasingly there is evidence that residents are subleasing apartments to programs like Airbnb, which requires no background checks. Look for that to change as landlords get wiser … Hard to believe that the DART rail line celebrated its 20th anniversary serving the community on Tuesday. In a relatively short time, DART has made going to Fair Park and the convention center very easy, and has helped ease northern and southern residents commute to downtown. If only there was DART service to Globe Life Park or Jerry World in Arlington. Now that would be a real cause for celebration … The weekend began with a domestic dispute at Love Field on Friday that resulted in a shooting causing a massive delay through security lines, and then took on epic proportions with the horrific massacre in Orlando Sunday morning. Although the events were much different in scale and on much different levels of importance, they all
can indirectly or directly be tied to terrorism. Our fear of anything going wrong at an airport has everyone on pins and needles since 9/11. And now the threat of these spineless insurgents using violence in the name of a religious belief or their own prejudice to disrupt the lives of innocent people is reprehensible. Not surprising, stocks prices of gun manufactures went up on Monday and traffic around DFW gun shops was reported to be heavy … Always a conspiracy theorist, it comes as no surprise that the NBA levied a one game suspension to Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green forcing him to miss game five of the Finals, with the Warriors leading 3-1 in the best-ofseven series. Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, kicked out of the league for fixing games, told Sports Illustrated the league suspended Green in order to extend the Finals and boost the series' entertainment value. When he was officiating, Donaghy said it appeared that referees were instructed to give teams down in a series breaks on calls. One needs to only go back to the 2006 NBA Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat — with Dallas up 2-0 and leading by 13 points with six minutes to go in game three, yet somehow losing the series 4-2 ... RIP Hockey legend Gordie “Mr. Hockey” Howe, who I worked with on a promotion for Labatt Beer in 1984. Howe played professional hockey in six different decades, scoring 801 goals in the NHL alone. Howe was 88.

MULL IT OVER
Nonprofit has been a bull’s eye
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com It was a bit of a long shot. But so far, for Clint Montgomery, it has been a shot in the arm. Montgomery, with a career in commercial real estate, took his lifelong passion of archery and has spread it throughout Texas, creating affordable indoor archery playgrounds for young and old to enjoy. “As soon as I could pick one up,” Montgomery, 56, said, when asked when he first discovered archery. “I asked my mom for a BB gun and she said, ‘How about a bow?’ thinking that was a harmless thing. So I spent thousands of hours shooting.” Mississippi-native and San Antonioraised, Richardson is Executive Director of the nonprofit 501 (c)(3) Texas Archery Academy, which has four nearly 30,000 square-foot indoor archery ranges in San Antonio, North Richland Hills, McKinney and the academy headquarters at 600 Accent Drive in Plano, adjacent to the PGA TOUR Superstore off Plano Parkway. Their main purpose is to introduce and sustain archery as a family-friendly sport in a safe and affordable manner. For $10 for a day pass, men and women, boys and girls can learn the art of shooting a bow, equipment included. More advanced equipment is available for a slightly higher fee. And with archery a 2016 Olympics sport coupled with the success of a certain cinematic phenomenon, firing a bow and arrow is on the rise. While various parks systems throughout the state offered ranges in the past, archery ranges made way for the more profitable soccer fields and softball diamonds. “Over the years, for the most part, the archery range disappeared with the advent of the compound bow,” Montgomery said. “Most of the parks around the U.S. pretty much pushed archery out of its offerings. There was the perception of safety issues [with the new bow] and the fact that there was no money in it. That was the catalyst of why we put these together. Over my 30 years as being an access to archery guy, we were trying to think what we could do to bring new blood into archery.” Today, at Academy facilities, one will
our generation has archery in it.” Archery, from the Latin word arcus, goes back to Paleolithic or early Mesolithic periods about 10,000–9000 BC. While once a means used for hunting and combat, today it is mainly a recreational activity or a worldwide competitive sport. In the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, teams of both men and women will compete for medals. Montgomery envisions a time where there are professional archery leagues and teams on college campuses creating rivalries. “We want people that aspire to go to the Olympics,” Montgomery said. “We aspire the development of college teams to making it a legitimate sport.

They even have developed a form of dodge ball where a soft, sponge-tipped arrow replaces a thrown rubber ball. “The thrill for kids is sticking stuff and blowing stuff up,” Montgomery said. Part of why the sport is picking up steam again can be attributed to the series of books and movies entitled “The Hunger Games.” “You can’t get past any discussion these days without a conversation about ‘The Hunger Games,’” Montgomery said. “All of a sudden, 13-year-old girls found it.

The funds will go anywhere from buying equipment to securing more facilities throughout the state. By maintaining nonprofit status for peak affordability, opening up more ranges and continuing to introduce the sport to families, the “semi-retired” Montgomery is committed to bringing archery to the masses, one bow at a time.

Time to sweat it out By Turner Cavender turner@dallasfbbc.com
Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. Stress is an inevitable part of our modern existence. Whether you’re the CEO of a large company, a kindergarten teacher or a construction worker, you have stress to deal with. We all have bills to pay, relationships to main- Turner Cavender tain and challenges to get through. But you don’t have to let it get the best of you. How can you turn your stress-filled life on its head? With one of the best weapons against stress: exercise. When stress is getting you down, you need something to kick you out of your funk. You need something that makes you feel good. Every time you exercise, you increase your body’s production of endorphins. In case you have forgotten, endorphins are responsible for those good moods you get in after a race or the euphoria you feel while chomping down on a piece of chocolate. However, before you grab a piece of chocolate and skip the gym, remember the end result of each and choose which one will help you battle stress in the long run. (Hint: It’s not the chocolate.) Any and all exercise you perform helps you fend off the effects of stress. So whether you enjoy jogging, lifting weights, playing basketball, practicing ballet, swimming, yoga, rowing or boxing, simply getting involved in your exercise of choice is sure to help reduce your stress. Through the brick wall: If you are working out every day and not getting the stress relief you want then it’s time to do things a little different. If all you do is lift weights five days a week, you should add in tennis or racquetball a couple days a week. And if you’re an all-cardio all-the-time person, it may be time to get off the treadmill and grab a dumbbell or two. Still not working? Keep a diary of your progression. Write down how long and hard you exercise, the various weights you lift and the steps you make toward whatever health goal you set for yourself. Take pictures along the way as well. Then look back over your journal on occasion. Seeing the progression when you feel you’re not making progress may give you the confidence you need to put stress in its place and move on. My mission is to get each and every one of my clients the body that they desire and, along with that, a low-stress lifestyle. Take the stress out of planning your own workouts by joining one of my high-energy, fat-blasting exercise programs.

Zika virus ongoing concern By Dr. Kim Washington washington.k@att.net
The summer officially begins in the next week, which means fun in the sun … and with mosquitoes. Zika virus is a real concern, especially in the southern states of the country because of its strong presence in Latin America. This virus is transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitos, through sexual transmission and maternal-fetal transmission. The states at highest risk of experiencing local Dr. Washington transmission by mosquitos in the U.S., based on information obtained by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) include Texas, Florida and Hawaii. The virus typically causes a generalized viral illness including fever, chills, body aches and cough. The biggest concern with this
virus is the effect on pregnant women and on unborn children. These children can be born with microcephaly, which means a small skull. This is problematic because the brain will continue to grow but will run out of space within the small skull.
THE STATES AT HIGHEST RISK OF EXPERIENCING LOCAL TRANSMISSION BY MOSQUITOES IN THE U.S., BASED ON INFORMATION OBTAINED BY THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC) INCLUDE TEXAS, FLORIDA AND HAWAII.
The CDC has issued a “risk-based preparedness” with guidelines on management of infected mosquito outbreaks if they occur in the U.S. It includes guidelines on surveillance of both mosquito populations and enhanced surveillance for suspected Zika virus infections of pregnant women through obstetric clinics. Additional measures will be taken to educate those who are found to carry the virus against sexual transmission. The objective of the “phased, risk-based” response using surveillance is to “implement public health interventions” that match the level of risk this virus presents. With adherence to the specified guidelines throughout the country, we should be able to maintain a handle on the virus, even if we cannot prevent mosquito migration into our territory. More information on Photo courtsey of ENO Hammocks the Zika Virus Risk Based Preparedness Guidelines, can be found at the cdc.gov website.

FINANCIAL TRAIL
haleyrogers@realnewspr.com It’s no secret that property taxes are considerable and growing exponentially. For years, cities and counties have been fighting obstacles that somehow always seem to raise taxes, only further agitating the city’s economic climate. This counterproductive approach has fostered disgruntled, suffering residents and communities, leading taxpayers and counties to financial anguish. Not for long. Government officials who are passionate about change and growth are welcoming a new solution, one that could change everything for everyone: a solution called the Estate Card, being offered soon by local governments to their homeowners. The Estate Card was developed by Municipal Cards, a brainchild of its CEO, Eli Weingarden. Almost 10 years ago, Weingarden was at dinner with his uncle, Irv Lowenberg, the newly elected City of Southfield treasurer in Oakland County, Mich. His slogan, “Lowenberg for lower taxes,” turned out to be the selling point of his campaign,
eventually leading him to become the new treasurer. During dinner, Weingarden asked his uncle how he actually planned to lower taxes now that he was in office, to which he replied, “It is going to be a great challenge. If anything, I fear I may have to raise taxes.” Now that he was behind the scenes, Lowenberg saw a problem that appeared to be unsolvable: people were paying less of their taxes while in turn, the expenses of the city were rising. After dinner that night, Weingarden starting thinking about what local governments could do to curb the problem. He came up with an idea: a city-branded rewards credit card that would help homeowners reduce their taxes, while at the same time creating growth in their community. Weingarden, having been in retail for many years, had watched credit card transactions reach nearly 70 percent of his sales as people transitioned from paper to plastic. This helped inspire the idea. “It all clicked one day,” Weingarden said. “If the city could tap into something that was currently in the normal

course of use and able to generate a revenue stream from it, this could solve the ongoing problem. The city would be able to generate the needed revenue without the need to tax its residents further. Ultimately, I realized it could lower taxes.” The first of its kind, The Estate Card will help all kinds of people from all walks of life reduce their cost of living through the reduction of what is for many, the largest bill of the year. Municipal Cards’ completely new concept offers homeowners automatic credit towards their annual property tax bill based on the spend on their card. The company is ultimately going to offer both a credit card and debit card option but is initially only offering the debit card.
YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see all manner of individuals — co-workers, business partners, family members, spouses, loved ones and friends — coming down on different sides of certain key issues, with the expected result that tensions will rise and relationships may be threatened. To make it past this phase, everyone must be willing to see things reasonably and logically and avoid taking anything personally. It’s important to realize that agreement is not an essential component of any relationship; that role falls to understanding and respect, without which no relationship, whether personal or professional, can stand a chance! All must take a step back and realize that disagreement can, in fact, enrich their interactions with others, and it can therefore be positive and enjoyable. There may be some who, when all is said and done, are simply unable to overlook differences of opinion that they consider so basic and fundamental that they are “deal-breakers.” There is a choice to be made in such cases: Walk away, or simply choose to ignore the issue or issues entirely. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Your interaction with a Cancer native may prove electric, for reasons both good and bad. You can focus on the positive. (June 7-June 20) – A collaboration is in the making, but you mustn’t push things forward too quickly. Let
everyone get used to your ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You will want to make plans with a friend or partner as soon as possible to give yourself time to work out kinks. (July 8-July 22) – You’re likely to feel a great deal of satisfaction as a result of the fence-mending you engage in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You must have up-to-date information in order to progress. Anything outdated will only hold you back. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You’re going through a transition of sorts, and you may soon rise through the ranks and take on new responsibilities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You will have to repeat yourself more than once in order to get a certain message across. After that, progress should be swift. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You’re not likely to iron out your differences with a friend or loved one until you accept the validity of his or her views. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You may not be able to finish a certain project in one fell swoop; it’s likely to take several dedicated sessions. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You’re eager to move things up in your schedule so that you can tend to
personal issues once business affairs have been squared away. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) The focus should be on that which promotes teamwork. Anything that keeps you from interacting in a positive way should be avoided. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You may have trouble convincing someone that what you are attempting can prove beneficial to him or her as well as yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may be tempted to scrap what you are working on in favor of something new and challenging. Are you ready for it? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – Others may think that you’re changing your ways, but you’re merely doing what is more appropriate to your recent circumstances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Give another the benefit of the doubt as the week opens, and you can almost guarantee that things will go better for you all week long. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Your competitive nature keeps you from conceding a certain point. As a result, you must be ready for a current conflict to heat up.

“We want to make sure everyone can participate in the program,” Weingarden said. “Not everyone gets approved for credit these days.” The card will be offered through participating municipalities. The company expects cities to come on board rapidly, as it is a free program that only brings them much benefit. It also offers a higher rate of reward on local purchases in an effort to promote local spending. “Local spending means more jobs and more sales tax dollars staying at home,” Weingarden said. “Cities use these monies for local infrastructure. You help your city you are helping yourself.” During the last seven years of development and speaking to local governments around the U.S., the company was able to obtain positive feedback from government representing about 10 million homes. Market research showed 63 percent of homeowners interested in the program. “We exist as a company to lessen the burden of property tax,” Weingarden said, “while supporting the local economy, ultimately creating sustainability and growth.” Copyright 2016 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. a great deal from the wellspring of your imagination.

This home is located on 4401 Lorraine Ave. and is listed for $6.275 million. What distinguishes this property from thousands of others? Well, it’s not just beautiful, but it’s also tasteful and well-thought-out. It has a restrained elegance. You know what realtors say about location? You can’t get much better than the corner of Armstrong Parkway in Highland Park. “It’s perfect for a discerning buyer looking for an established original residence and location,” said Caroline Summers. Summers, who is with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International, has the 7,500-square-foot home listed for $6.275 million. “This home was originally an English Tudor built in 1933 and completely redone in 2014,” she said. It was redesigned in the

Cooking outdoors means summer fun By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Father’s Day is coming up; that means the weather is heating up. A great way to show dad how much you appreciate him would be to create an outdoor kitchen for those summer cookouts and pool parties. You may have limited outdoor space, but that doesn’t mean your possibilities are limited. First, determine the essential elements you want to include in the space. A grill is a must or at least some kind of cooking element, along with counter space, a little storage, a sink and a bar. Maybe add an outdoor pizza oven for a special touch. A kitchen island can be your best friend Photo courtesy of Pinterest. in this remodeling project, especially if it’s Outdoor kitchen lights up alfresco dining. portable.

French Normandy style and meticulously renovated by Bill and Sheri Carpenter. Yes, that Bill, the one you head over to see when you’re in need of a little personal renovation. The home has three levels — with an elevator, of course. There are five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a powder bath and three fireplaces. “This home has a light, bright, almost beachy feel, but with a classical elegance that is lost in so many of the new builds you see today,” Summers said. “The dining room is massive,” Summers added. “Formal dining rooms are becoming smaller and smaller, and this is a nice departure. It’s large enough to host cocktails and dinner for the grandest of family celebrations.” The kitchen is awash in WEST END cont'd from page 8 Park, the Design District, Uptown and the Farmer’s Market area. Sales have increased every single year except for a slight downturn in 2009 when the overall economy suffered, and conventions were canceling because of the swine flu scare. Named for a family owned ranch in Kerrville, YO Ranch is very unique in menu and décor from other Dallas’ steakhouses. Its theme is western — many of the wall hangings and wood highlights are right off the Kerrville ranch — and the menu offers many items like venison, rattlesnake, quail, wild boar, antelope, elk and buffalo. “We are not just another steakhouse borrowing a Texas theme,” Street said. “We own 50 square miles of Texas.” Before YO, Street continued working at a fevered pitch in Fort Worth, including stints at an Italian restaurant and eventually moving to the highly regarded French restaurant Saint Emilion at age 18. “Then Gene pulled up in his black Cadillac and asked me if I wanted to be the ‘King of
white — totally on trend right now with an oversized marble island, Viking range, double dishwashers and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The informal dining area will make you think you’re in the heart of Provence, not Highland Park. The second floor master suite overlooks the grounds and has a lovely sitting area at one end. The master bathroom is another revitalization in white — from paint to tile and marble — the classic elements are presented in a modern style. The third floor is a perfect suite for older children with a study and living area. Take the elevator or get a bit of exercise climbing what is possibly the most stylish staircase in the state. Guests have their own
private paradise with a 1,284-square-foot apartment over the garage. The idyllic grounds were carefully planned by Dallas landscape designer Robert Bellamy, who is known for creating wonderful private sanctuaries. It’s very much a family home with plenty of space for multiple age groups. The Carpenters are empty nesters now, so if you’re in the market for a sizable family home in a location that can’t be beat, give Summers a call soon, because homes this flawless, regardless of price point, are hard to come by.

Acapulco,’” Street said. “I said, ‘Yeah.’ And one month later I was living in Mexico.” Street became very fluent in Spanish because “I wanted to see if they were talking about me or not.” He worked at Antiqua — which had iguana on the menu — until uncle Gene sold it to the Hard Rock Café. He moved back to Dallas on his 21st birthday to work at the fondly remembered Wine Press on Oak Lawn Avenue. “It was one of my favorite experiences, because I got to showcase what I learned the previous eight years. I got 100 percent free reign of the kitchen. The menu was completely mine. I got to do whatever I wanted do. I was very young and had a blast.” Next stop was another Gene Street endeavor, the Texas Embassy Cantina in Trafalgar Square in London, which was one of seven Mexican style restaurants in the city. “We didn’t have a lot of competition,” Tony Street said. “I really enjoyed the English people’s response to Mexican food. Quite funny.” He returned to the U.S. to deal with his ailing father. After his father passed, he moved to Florida to open a few restaurants for a friend.
While his restaurant experience wasn’t particularly noteworthy, his time there changed his life. “Anybody that has been in the restaurant business as long as I have has probably had issues with alcohol or other stuff because it is a very stressful business,” Street said while sipping on a Red Bull. “But I got all that out away on July 19, 1999.” Street has been clean and sober ever since. Street was hired as head chef at YO Ranch and moved up to general manager and later ownership as the restaurant has evolved. They expanded, taking over the space once occupied by Tony Roma’s. This year’s sales, behind a loyal customer base and a solid hotel concierge program, are currently up more than 30 percent. Tour the 8,000-squarefoot restaurant and you will find Street’s 12-year-old son Sammy back in the kitchen, just like his father was when he was his age. Although cleaning and making salads is not Sammy’s passion, “I definitely want to be in the restaurant business,” Sammy said. And as his father pointed out, “If your last name is ‘Street,’ you are probably in the restaurant business.”
GUEST cont'd from page 8 soul,” he said. Dallas’ Beast will be played by Sam Hartley, whose credits include “Young Frankenstein,” “Les Misérables” and “Into the Woods.” There will be patrons who remember the film well but haven’t seen a live production. They may look forward to Hartley’s adaptation of Benson’s fearsome voice of the Beast. “Beauty and the Beast” features an Academy Award-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. The book is written by Linda Woolverton. The ninth longest running musical on Broadway, Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” has been seen by more than 35 million people in 22 countries. The upcoming tour, opening in 2010 has entertained more than three million people, with more than 1,750 performances, according to the tour’s publicist. Brooke Quintana will play opposite Hartley as Belle. She has performed in “Les Misérables,” “A Chorus Line” and “The Drowsy Chaperone.” At alternate performances, Chip will be played by very young Deandre Horner and Jake Jones, neither being a newcomer to the stage. Jones has appeared in community theater shows including “Jungle Book,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “The Music Man,” and has three siblings in Texas. Nine-year-old Horner is from McDonough, Ga. “Beauty and the Beast” will have performances Wednesday, June 22, through Sunday, June 26, at the Winspear Opera House with performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.

The “Central Intelligence” @chiccywood
conspiracy involving CIA agent Pamela Harris (Amy Ryan), loads of zany action and international intrigue featuring a terrorist named “The Black Badger.” There are a few cameos along the way that mostly work, but one of which is far too mean spirited for the rest of this fairly silly movie. The action in “Central Intelligence” is neither thrilling nor uniquely shot as it’s going for laughs. It’s very hit or miss with most of the chuckles coming from Calvin’s reactions to Bob’s blatant disregard for their safety. The most amusing aspect of how director Thurber pieced the action together is how Bob manages to defy physics and appear out of thin air, which he explains simply as “tradecraft.” Normally, Kevin Hart screeches his way through movies and people call it “comedy.” In “Central Intelligence,” he’s dialed it way down and gets laughs as a nervous, scared out of his mind civilian. He stutters and stammers away, only rarely hitting that octave of annoyance that
only Hart can reach. This is Hart as the straight man and it’s something he should try more often. Watching a huge, hulking man such as Dwayne Johnson express his love for 1980s teen movies, call himself a “hugger” or do all he can to talk people out of taking a beatdown from him are all inherently funny things. Over the course of a two hour movie, this type of character could become exceptionally annoying, but the sheer volume of joy that Johnson is throwing on screen makes it palatable. Clearly, Johnson had so much fun playing Bob Stone that he makes him fun. “Central Intelligence” puts Johnson in a t-shirt with a cartoon unicorn on it. It’s one of the laziest jokes ever in a movie. However, that does not make it any less hysterical. This is a fun and harmless romp that thankfully stays away from grossout and distasteful comedy. It is destined to be enjoyed by the masses and push Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson further into stardom.
UNCLE BARKY’S BITES
New show could make or ‘breaky’ Billy Ray Cyrus’ career By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net When the cheering dies down — or stops altogether — once prominent celebrities can thank Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Ed for opening another door. Even if it sometimes ends up being another brick wall. We’ll get to two current-day attempts in just a few paragraphs. But first here’s a primer. “The Osbournes,” which MTV launched on March 5, 2002, rocketed the former music video network to the top of the cable ratings charts while giving mumbling, bumbling Ozzy a second, very profitable
career as America’s foremost dimwit dad. A conventional scripted sitcom almost assuredly wouldn’t have clicked. But as a voyeuristic “reality” show, “The Osbournes” worked like a charm with wife Sharon Bark also becoming a star in her own right and now a co-host of CBS’ “The Talk.” A brain-numbing cavalcade of falling or fallen stars since have tried to cash in. “The Anna Nicole Show” worked better than most, while “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” and “Flavor of Love with Flavor Flav” also replenished the bank accounts of their fading somebodies. Jessica Simpson in particular
hit the fledgling “social media” jackpot in Season One when she asked hubby Nick Lachey, “Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it’s tuna, but it says Chicken of the Sea.” Many others have tried and miserably failed as stars of their own “reality” exploits. Roseanne Barr, the former mega-star of ABC’s “Roseanne,” crashed twice with ABC’s “The Real Roseanne Show” and later, Lifetime’s “Roseanne’s Nuts.” Rocker Tommy Lee of Motley Crue quickly flunked out with NBC’s “Tommy Lee Goes to College.” Comedy Central’s “I’m with Busey” was without much of an audience. And did the Game Show Network actually plunge into the reality series genre with “Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned?” Yes, it did — in 2003. In the celebrity has-been combo pack category, the now defunct WB network booked the likes of Corey Feldman, MC Hammer, Tammy Fay Messner and Gary Coleman
during two seasons worth of “The Surreal Life.” But “I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Outta Here!” is the bottom-scraping gold standard, both in title and concept. It aired on ABC and then on NBC, with big gaggles of grousing C or D-listers deposited in a jungle and forced to rough it. One of them was the former Bruce Jenner, whose group also included “Downtown” Julie Brown, Robin Leach and the eventual Season 1 winner, Cris Judd (fresh off his divorce from Jennifer Lopez). This brings us to a somewhat new wrinkle in the “reality” genre — scripted comedies fronted by faded stars willing to spoof their own latter day delusions of grandeur. David Hasselhoff ’s “Hoff the Record” was filmed in the United Kingdom, where it premiered shortly before Mark Cuban’s AXS TV imported it. The show recently ended its Season One run, but is still readily available via On Demand and other means.

Billy Ray Cyrus.
Hoff, playing Hoff, journeys to the UK to “reinvent” himself after his career in the U.S. dries up. Among other things, he deludes himself into believing he can be a U.N. ambassador. “It’s what I did on ‘Baywatch’ every single episode. Resolve conflict,” he reasons. In other misadventures, Hoff thinks he can be “the face of a global charity” or make a quick $250,000 performing three songs at a birthday party for a despotic warlord who still idolizes him. Hoff remains convinced that he helped to bring down the Berlin Wall by singing “Looking For Freedom”
atop it back in 1989. Also in this vein is CMT’s new “Still the King,” currently airing Sunday nights after premiering on June 12. Billy Ray Cyrus plays one-hit wonder Vernon Brownmule, who 20 years after topping the charts is grinding out a living as a drunken, womanizing Elvis impersonator known as Burnin’ Vernon. Alas, he ends up becoming a fake preacher to make ends meet after all kinds of circumstances conspire against him. Cyrus, whose singing career has nosedived while his daughter Miley’s continues to soar, doesn’t seem to mind giving himself a “reality” check long after “Achy Breaky Heart” took him to the very top. It may not always be the right thing to do. But just ask the Osbournes whether they’d do it all over again. That’s a no-brainer, even for Ozzy.

“Seeking male in his late teens to 20s for walk-on part in the male ensemble. Must be trim and in good physical shape. Any ethnicity,” so the casting call stated. The role is for Dallas Summer Musical’s (DSM) production of “42nd Street” at the Music Hall at Fair Park June 28 through July 10. In concert with Phoenix Entertainment, Broadway World DFW and WFAA Channel 8, DSM’s new summer series is an initiative to place local talent in “walk-on” roles in some of its musicals. The purpose is to give local talent, who may or may not be in “the business,” an opportunity to
experience how a musical comes together, both on and off the stage. DSM’s initiative is to enmesh the community into the theater, both as patrons and performers. Last month, two lucky, talented young men were thrilled to be chosen to play young Coalhouse in DSM’s production of “Ragtime.” Each played the role for a week and then the actors switched.

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH
Vacations can bring out bad habits
By Megan Lyons
megan@thelyonsshare.org When my clients have been making so much progress in their health and have vacation plans in the future, they tend to panic. What will happen to their dedication to healthy eating? Will they re-gain the 30 pounds they’ve lost during their five-day vacation? Will they completely forget how to eat and live healthily, and go terribly off track? Will they be completely miserable the entire time, having to forego the famous crepes in France or their grandmother’s delicious casserole? It is normal to feel as if all of your hard work will go down the drain when you go on vacation. My personal philosophy on keeping up healthy habits while on vacation though, is surprisingly simple and stress-free. Health is about consistency, about the choices we make day-in and day-out, month after month and year after year. Skipping one workout or eating one unhealthy meal isn’t going to ruin anything (just like eating one salad or doing one workout will not make you healthy for BROADWAY cont'd from page 10 the Christmas musical and the “Destiny Musical 2016.” He is also into hip-hop. Sherika took the fortunate young man on a Disney Cruise for his 3rd birthday. “When he saw the shows onboard he was in awe and perfect silence,” she said. When he saw “Peter Pan” on this 5th birthday, he was equally awed, according to his Mom. Anthony says he enjoys watching plays, singing, painting, soccer and visiting museums.

the rest of your life). If you are diligent in keeping up your healthy habits for the 95 percent of the year that you’re not on vacation, I think you should relax your limitations and not worry so much about health while on vacation. My vacation philosophy is this: stick to what makes you feel great, but don’t skimp on enjoying the special treats that make vacation feel indulgent. If you’ll look back and regret not eating something, then eat it! The opportunities to enjoy traditional cuisine, special treats and family traditions don’t come around very often. If you will regret not getting enough sleep on vacation because you wanted to be sure to get in your workout before the kids woke up, then sleep in! You have 51 weeks of the year to encourage yourself to wake up early and fit in that workout. There are some healthy habits that I keep up even while on vacation, because they make me feel my best. I get a headache whenever I’m dehydrated, which is something I don’t want to deal with on vacation. For this reason, I’m sure to always keep my water with me, even on vacation, and even if that means having to find a

He plays in the St. Luke’s children’s choir; Salem Institutional Baptist Church choir, and he plays for his school’s chapel service every morning. James also enjoys basketball, drawing, collecting airplanes and music. Sherlyn and James both thought this was a great experience. Prior to the opening, the caring mom spent time explaining the “Ragtime” story to him so he would understand what was going on. We asked 5-year-old Anthony how he

BEST BUDDIES INTERNATIONAL
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn self-advocacy, communications/ job skills and lose their sense of isolation.
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?
A B est Buddies International is a nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Anthony Shriver is our founder. Best Buddies International serves the IDD population in 54 countries.
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A I n the DFW metroplex, we serve more than 2,000 middle school, high school and college students.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches those in need? Of our total annual budget, 84 percent of all monetary donations are allocated to Best Buddies programs.
A
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the
calendar? Fall of 2016: The Best Buddies Bazar – our annual community-wide sale featuring a varied selection of previously loved items. Fall of 2016: Buzz Art Auction. Fall of 2016: Bowling with Buddies.
A
Q What sort of volunteer jobs are available?
A Professional volunteer experts in: mar-
keting/communications, graphic design, job coaching, public speaking, etiquette/ social interaction.
Q T ell us the name of a
volunteer who always goes beyond the call of duty? Jan Miller and Jeff Rich!
A
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
A We help foster inclusion! By helping de-
velop leadership and self-advocacy skills, we help end social, physical and economic isolation. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Best Buddies helps them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communications skills, and feel valued by society.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A Witnessing the change in our Buddies
and peer Buddies that is reflected in their personal development. The increase in their confidence, their leadership capacity, their compassion.
Q I n a short paragraph please tell how a
specific person or family was helped. Gabri and Shelli’s friendship exemplifies inclusion. Every year, Shelli applies to be a buddy, but unfortunately, she gets discouraged from attending for fear that she will not be able to communicate with anyone due to her only being able to communicate by using sign language. This year was no different. She applied in hopes of joining but decided to give attending events one more time. Fortunately, freshman Gabri joined Best Buddies this year and speaks fluently in sign language! The two hit it off when they met, and Shelli has returned to every event! Due to their similarity in speaking sign, Gabri is able to truly communicate to Shelli as a peer and friend and they have become great friends this year.
A
QW hat does the future hold for your
nonprofit? Strategic expansion of our School Friendship Program and establishing the Best Buddies Jobs Program for the DFW metroplex.
