Dallas Zoo goes ape

Staff are smiling big after welcoming the Dallas Zoo’s first baby gorilla in 20 years on June 25. This also marks the fifth baby gorilla the zoo has cared for in nearly 50 years. The zoo’s 22-year-old critically endangered western lowland gorilla named Hope quietly delivered the infant in the gorilla barn DALLAS ZOO after laboring for just over an hour. Silverback Subira, a firsttime father, was the first member of the troop to greet the baby, gently putting his lips on the infant’s head shortly after birth.

Laura Bush inspires all to make a difference

lfrazier@diamondiconconsultants.com “I had a little twitch in my left finger and I was asking questions wondering why this was happening.”

These are the words of Phillip Cooper: a father of three, grandfather of seven and a Parkinson’s disease patient since 2011. Following the discovery of his twitch, Cooper lost his sense of smell, followed by a noticeably progressive reduction in his verbal communication.

Parkinson’s disease affects over one million patients in the U.S. currently and is the overall quality of life and the chronic disabling of the disorder that helped to gather more than 100 national speech-language pathologists to the Dallas-Fort Worth area on June 20 to attend the Parkinson Voice Project’s ‘Lead with Intent Symposium.’

The inaugural event launched three and a half days of education and training on business, leadership and the Voice Project’s innovative speech therapy program for those affected with the disease.

Led by Parkinson Voice Project (PVP) CEO and founder Samantha Elandary, the symposium highlighted the importance of speech therapy sessions for those with Parkinson’s and how strengthening the vocal muscles often delays the chronic progression of the disease.

“The risk for aspiration and pneumonia is high, and losing your ability to communicate is very high,” said speech-language pathologist Michell Ruskamp MS, CCC-SLP of Columbus Community Hospital in Columbus, Neb. “With … the therapy, we want to keep people as independent as we can and we know it’s so rewarding to us when we hear from them that, ‘You’ve kept me out of a nursing home.’”

VOLKSWAGEN

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta.

By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com Toronto is Canada’s biggest city. The CN Tower is Toronto’s number 1 tourist site. Atop is a revolving restaurant, the 360. CN Tower is a tall needle that towers above many of the skyscrapers of Toronto. Atop the needle are 3 levels of viewing platforms and, also, the rotating restaurant. The highest observation point is called the Sky Pod, and it is served by a separate elevator that has high demand and must be reserved.

To get the observation platform views at CN Tower, you pay a hefty admission price, about $28, and have to wait on lengthy lines to get on the limited number of elevators. So, I was given a tip: make a reservation at the restaurant and get admission to the observation decks included with dinner. I thought this was a brilliant alternative. Dinner is a price fixed menu, around $50, or you can order a-la-carte.

My reservation for was 9 p.m., specifically chosen so that I could watch the sunset from the observation platform at 9 p.m. I arrived at the restaurant around 8:15 p.m., thinking I would be able to take in the sunset, only to face a long line at check in at the restaurant for those with reservations. Once I got to the front of the line, the maitre’d told me that all tables were taken, to come back at 9 p.m. Meantime, I was told to get my name on the list to access the elevator to the Sky Pod because there is usually an one and one half hour wait for that elevator.

Following directions, I got on the elevator list for 9:30 p.m., after waiting on a short line for that, too. Then I proceeded to take in the view, and sunset, from the other two observation decks. At 9 p.m., I returned to the restaurant only to find the line to get to the maitre’d was out the door.

Fortunately, the maitre’d recognized my party as having checked in earlier and pulled us from the line, told us to wait on the side, and got us a table.

But by the time we got the table, it was already 9:15 p.m. … no way we would make the elevator reservation. The maitre’d told us not to bother, as it wasn’t a substantially different view than on the other two platforms we had already visited. Good thing, because restaurant service was excruciatingly slow; it took until 10:30 p.m. to get served!

The elevators to the Sky Pod stop working at 10 p.m, so it was too late to go up there by the time we finished dinner. The food at 360 restaurant was worse than mediocre. My companion had undercooked duck, and my chicken was good, but stuffed with a fois gras that was so rich it overwhelmed the foul.

All in all, this was not a pleasant experience. It would be better to pay for the observation deck and wait on the lines than to try to eliminate the lines with a restaurant reservation because you still have to wait an interminably long time, either for food or the elevator to the top platform. Whoever is in charge needs to come up with a much better way to systematize handling the enormous number of visitors to this mega-tourist site.

My tip: skip the CN Tower altogether and see the city of Toronto from a rooftop. They view is about the same. The restaurant food is disappointing. The time commitment to do this activity is obnoxious. Use the time saved to take in Toronto’s other main attraction … Niagara Falls, well worth whatever cost and time commitment.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?

A Unlocking DOORS seeks to reduce recid-

A As the former chairman of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice, the oversight board for the incarceration, parole and probation of Texas adult felons, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the workings of the criminal justice system and where gaps existed.

As an attorney, I was able to take my legal experience in business, social service and legislative issues and couple it with the existing reentry issues to start Unlocking Doors.

We focus on the client's "individual" needs through an innovative highly coordinated continuum of care, which empowers the client to take an active role in mapping his future.

Translated as “sun over God’s town,” the open-face sandwich is distinguished by a raw egg yolk on top of smoked herring typical of the town of Gudhjem on the Danish island of Bornholm.

The “sun” on the sandwich is a raw egg yolk atop smoked herring fillets on dark rye with radish and onion. If you can’t find smoked herring, smoked trout fillets make a good substitute.

It’s hard to believe, but there was a time when Paul Rudd wasn’t a household name.

Sure, he’d pop up on “Friends”, get supporting roles in Judd Apatow movies (while stealing them), and everyone knows he’s Josh from “Clueless.” He was an actor that most of the general public would know as “the one guy from that thing.”

Then “Ant Man” happened and it was truly the first commercial and critical hit for a movie with Rudd as top billed.

When “Captain America: Civil War” hit and his Scott Lang became the runaway hit during that film’s most memorable sequence, Rudd officially hit the big time.

Since this is Marvel Studios, the inevitable sequel has arrived and it’s fully safe to say that “Ant Man and The Wasp” is much better than the first. Director Peyton Reed and a team of writers (including Rudd himself) don’t have to worry about that pesky origin story and they can jump right in and pick up where we last left Scott Lang (Rudd) after “Civil War.” After illegally using super

hero tech, Scott finds himself on two years of house arrest.

He spends his time playing with his daughter, helping manage a home security company with his pal, Luiz (Carlos Pena), and entertaining himself in several other hilarious ways.

In fact, the opening thirty minutes of the movie wouldn’t be possible without an actor like Rudd, who will win you over pretty much immediately.

All is not well for Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly). The government wants their tech that allows them to shrink everything, which includes their office building.

While constantly on the run, the two of them have built a device to save Hank’s wife Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), who was long thought to have been dead.

The entire movie zips right by as there’s zero filler and every plot move makes sense. It helps that the two protagonists are really well written. Walton Goggins goes with his fantastic southern accent as an arms dealer that can only be described as pure sleaze. However, Hannah JohnKamen steals the show a bit as the mysterious Ghost who is afflicted with an ailment that

allows her to “phase” through solid objects.

Michael Douglas is clearly having a blast as Hank Pym. He’s essentially an insult comic, firing away at Scott or slamming the rekindled relationship between Scott and Hope.

This is the abrasive and charming Douglas that made him a huge star and Reed milks every ounce of it.

Rudd knows what he does best and he’s everything you’d expect. What this movie does so effectively is share the hero spotlight with Evangeline Lilly.

It’s the first role she’s had in a film that utilizes the potential stardom she showed while on “Lost.” It’s a physical role as she does the same if not more action than Rudd and they make the movie almost a buddy action/romance combo with pitch perfect chemistry.

“Ant Man and The Wasp” is not just another Marvel success, it’s a bonafide riot of an action-adventure. Like “Thor: Ragnarok”, this is a stand alone story that doesn’t completely tie into the massive Marvel Cinematic Universe. It definitely benefits from that and Reed gives it a style that makes sense for the off the wall character of Ant Man. You can’t completely go into this movie without any previous knowledge, but it’s as close as you could get to simply diving in.

But if you do just dive in to “Ant Man and The Wasp”, that ending won’t make much sense and you’ll wonder why 99 percent of the audience just gasped while jaws simultaneously hit the floor. It’s now the most jarring and shocking credits scene that Marvel has done.

KNOX - HENDERSON

Courseau to open third area restaurant

By Vodi Cook

vodi@plugpublicrelations.com It doesn’t have a name yet, but the latest restaurant

by Stephan Courseau (Le Bilboquet, Up On Knox) and Chef Junior Borges has officially found a home at 4514 Travis St.—right next door to Le Bilboquet, in the former Villa-O space. Set to open early 2019 (by March at the latest, hopes Courseau), the restaurant is still in its developmental stages, but the duo already have some exciting details to share.

The unnamed restaurant will put a big emphasis on farm-to-table food sourced from local farms with a meat-centric menu. The duo will be working closely with friends who own an East Texas ranch to ensure the best free-range chicken, seasonal vegetables and, of course, grass-fed beef. The chef wants to create cuisine that is “interesting, fun, refined and innovative, while at the same time approachable—with some Brazilian nuances.” Though, they assure, it will be neither a steak house nor a Brazilian restaurant.

Instead, the flavor of Borges’ hometown of Rio will be showcased in the “farm shop” adjacent to the restaurant, a butcher shop-meets-bodega with an entrance facing the quaint fountain and courtyard that connects Le Bilboquet and the new space.

“I grew up with these bodegas, or ‘botecos’ as we call them in Brazil, everywhere— we called them TV for dogs,” he laughs, as he describes the

sizzling rotisserie chickens slowly turning in the windows of all the botecos of Rio. “The dogs would sit in front of the windows, mesmerized!” The shop will serve things like paninis and salads for the lunch crowd, but it will also showcase goods from the farms they source foods from for the restaurant. “It will be a place where people can come in and buy some beautiful radishes, some seasonal greens and farm eggs, something we think will be really great and new for the neighborhood.” At the center of it all will be the in-house rotisserie, where people can come in and purchase an organic, free-range chicken with sides—such as potatoes cooked slowly under the rotisserie drippings—to take-out and enjoy at home.

The restaurant will mainly be a dinner place where Junior will be able to flex his impressive culinary skills, adds Courseau. “But the “farm shop” will be a very exciting addition to the neighborhood, and an opportunity for people to buy the same grass-fed beef or seasonal vegetables we will use in all three restaurants.”

Nobody does this in Dallas yet, they add, citing restaurants like Marlow & Sons in New York, Gwen in Los Angeles and Cochon Butcher in New Orleans, where the concept has been wildly popular. The rotisserie chicken may even remind Dallasites who spend half the year in the mountains of the ever popular one served at Meat & Cheese in Aspen.

Borges and Courseau are already working with another

powerhouse duo on the space, Brooklyn-based Rustam-Marc Mehta and Tal Schori or GRT Architects, who just completed the glitzy new Don Angie in the West Village (NY). “Don Angie just got a great review in The New York Times, so we are very excited to work with these guys,” said Courseau.

“They are both architects and interior designers who create their own light fixtures and furniture—we are really trying to create a restaurant that has not been seen in Dallas yet; we are gutting the place, you won’t recognize anything from inside to out.”

As for how to create three restaurants on one block that do not compete with each other, Courseau is confident: “I’m into what I call a niche that is more sexy European, yet the restaurants I am trying to open are very anchored in the American culture. You know Le Bilboquet is French, but you don’t really see French restaurants like it in Paris. Up On Knox has lots of elements of a brasserie, almost like a Balthazar (NYC), but it’s not that French either. The new one is the same thing, just trying to mix the different cultures. I have been in America for 30 years, that’s who I am now—I’m as French as I am American, or as American as I am French. For me, the new restaurant must have that identity that is the European culture that is really part of what America has become.

The new space will share that identity, but it will be very different from Le Bilboquet and Up On Knox while still sharing a link.”

candace@candysdirt.com “How cute is this!” I said out loud the minute I came across this new listing in the Swiss Avenue Historic District. Yes, I talk to myself as I peruse House Candace Evans Porn… just as you should peruse CandysDirt. com every day.

Not only is this Swiss Avenue Angel a charming 1925 Dutch Colonial, its interiors are everything I hoped they would be. Gorgeous hardwood floors?

Check. Storybook arched doorways? Check. Quaint kitchen with original shiplap? Check. If you’ve been dreaming of a Dallas Dutch Colonial this is it, and it’s perfectly priced at $449,500!

It’s all about the details, and this one’s got curb appeal for days! Ideally nestled at 6200 Bryan Parkway, the two-bedroom, one-full-and-one-halfbathroom charmer is described as having “vintage touches throughout” offering “French doors onto the front porch and rear deck” plus a “sunroom off the kitchen with a complete view of the backyard.”

Now, are you one of those shoppers who read the property description first or dives right into the pictures? I often wonder so please tell me in the comments. But either way, this exquisite Dutch Colonial is sure to catch your eye.

Offering a cozy, yet cheerful, 1,768-square-foot floor plan, it leads you from one picture-perfect room to the next, leaving little to be desired. It has it all!

We love the scalloped wood details in the kitchen, and the open shelves with the vintage cabinets, plus the inviting sunroom marked by a wall of windows and natural light and, of course, the French doors that take us outside to an expansive deck surrounded mature gardens.

If the sunny yellow wall color isn’t your thing, a fresh coat of paint would do some good. The tall ceilings, period details and effortless layout are well worth it to those who love historic houses. There’s something about the coziness of that slight creakiness in a wood floor that just feels like home. Am I right?

Curl up to the classic brick fireplace with a good book, or head to the master suite with separate sitting area and spacious full bath, featuring spa-blue tiles and an elongated vanity.

A walk-in closet is a tall order for such a historic home, but they’ve managed to fit one in, perfectly.

Whether you’re looking for a starter home or eager to get your hands on something special, this Dallas Dutch Colonial does the trick.

Crowe, 54, has three Oscar nominations for his acting, including a win for “Gladiator, “which made him an international star and occasionally tabloid fodder for a series of offscreen escapades tied to a volatile temper that seemingly has since been tamed.

Casting the New Zealand-born actor as Ailes seems to be a rather odd fit on the face of it. But Tom Selleck once credibly played Dwight D. Eisenhower in an A&E network film built around the D-Day invasion while Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson respectively have been cast as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines Johnson in recent feature films that did little business at the box office. And way back in

1986, Richard Crenna played Dallas billionaire and former two-time presidential candidate H. Ross Perot in the 1986 NBC miniseries “On Wings of Eagles.” The makeup department didn’t even try to make him look like Perot This will be Crowe’s first role in a U.S. television series. Showtime does not have a firm title yet, or an air date. But I’ll be watching.

RANDOM NIBBLE Mexico is out of World Cup soccer competition after once again advancing to the “knockout round” of 16 before going no further. Brazil this time was the perpetrator, beating El Tri 2-0.

Dallas-Fort Worth Nielsen ratings for the July 2 Mexico-Brazil matchup weren’t yet available at the time of this writing. But Mexico will be sorely missed — not only by its ardent fans, but by this market’s Telemundo affiliate station, KXTX-TV. Local ratings for Mexico’s previous three BARKY cont'd on page 9

Holocaust survivor Pinchas Gutter is at the heart of MBA’s exhibit, as he sits in a chair and introduces himself and then asks if there are any questions. With the program’s design, Pinchas can answer about 200 inquires. Pinchas looks you in the eye as though you are directly in front of him. He moves as he normally would when sitting in a chair. Pinchas happens to be very animated, using his hands and fluid facial expression with every word.

Watching his eyes is like a miracle happening. It feels like you’re sitting in your living room visiting with a conversant Holocaust survivor who has plenty of profound and difficult stories to tell. With a few answers, Pinchas becomes emotional and must pause for a moment.

Thankfully, Pinchas is very much alive and active today at his home in Toronto with his family. Someday he’ll be legendary to them with his friends and those who have the honor of meeting him through technology.

It is hard to say and heart-wrenching to realize that the number of WWII Holocaust survivors are dwindling. Who will continue telling their stories when they are gone? They will.

The museum hours are WednesdaySaturday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. The museum is closed every Monday and Tuesday. The MBA is located at 7500 Park Lane. The phone number is 214-368-4622.

hospital rehabilitation clinics, university speech therapy clinics and nonprofit Parkinson’s organizations who were awarded a combined $650,000 in training, therapy supplies, and funding from Parkinson Voice Project’s National SPEAK OUT! And LOUD Crowd Grant Program.

Reminiscing on the progress of one of her patients through therapy, Ruskamp said, “At the end of the last treatment session, I normally have participants read a book. I was watching this man read a book and his wife was sitting next to him and he choked up a little bit and she started crying. He just looked at me and said ‘Thank you,’ and I thought, ‘This is why I do what I do.’

Former First Lady Laura Bush kicked off the symposium by addressing the congregation of pathologists and LOUD Crowd Parkinson’s participants with a heartfelt keynote entitled: “Be the Voice, Make a Difference.” Fox News host, Eboni K. Williams, also moderated a Q&A session with Mrs. Bush following her remarks.

While sprinkled with humor of her days with George W. Bush in the White House amongst other light-hearted memories, the former First Lady inspired the audience

with unwavering support for their efforts.

“Thank you all for treating my friends with love and special care,” said Mrs. Bush. “You give your patients something to look forward to each week, and I am grateful for your important work.”

As reinforcement to all that it is our voices that will undoubtedly contribute to helping those in need, Mrs. Bush also encouraged continued advocacy for those affected with Parkinson’s and more importantly, for those in need overall.

“One friendly smile, one consoling touch…these are the things that can make all the difference in the world,” said Mrs. Bush.

As for those like PVP participant Cooper and his wife Tanjia, the latter could not ring as more true.

Through the efforts of PVP, Cooper has strengthened his vocal muscles used for speaking and swallowing and proudly sings in the choir. Most importantly, he is able to communicate strongly with his wife and family, thereby increasing his overall quality of life.

“Spread the word [about PVP],” Tanjia Cooper encouraged. “We just have to keep telling everyone.”

And with the efforts of Mrs. Bush, Elandary and many others, global awareness of the PVP’s efforts and advancements is not too far behind.

Your Stars this Week The coming week is likely to provide opportunities that are expected and routine as well as surprising and unorthodox. But true to the old adage, what one sees is not necessarily what one gets, and only experience will be a true indicator of what one is facing — at work, at home or at play. All must pay close attention to undercurrents and heed any warnings that arise; unspoken messages of all kinds will figure prominently, and those most able to decipher them will have a distinct advantage in those circumstances that will shape the future.

The ability to devise a plan and stick to it while remaining flexible and reactive will be quite important this week for those individuals eager to reap the greatest benefits. One must be certain, but stubborn. Always consider the alternatives!

ALONG THE GREEN TRAIL

Waxing over fresh summer fruit

By Naïma Jeannette @naimajeannette

My favorite thing about this time of year is a hands down easy pick. It’s the delicious flavorful readily available fruit! Have you tasted the nectarines and plums lately? OMG, taste explosion Naïma Jeannette that even my sweet tooth nephew said the other day, “This is better than candy!” The natural skittles are in full effect.

Ok, so you know I must have a problem with the fruit. In many stores there are organic local produce options but while on the road my choices were sometimes limited. I ended up with a stack of conventional fruit and was reminded why our big business agriculture is killing our food and environment … through our tastebuds.

The wax on the conventional plum was thicker than a layer of heavy duty tin foil. Nothing took it off, so I ate it. Which got me thinking, what is this made of? Most fruit produces its own outer protective layer but it’s dull in color. When the fruit is washed before shipping, the natural wax is lost and a synthetic replaces it. Most fruit waxes are made from resins, carnauba (palm wax), sugar cane or beeswax. The wax is sprayed on to help with food preservation and presentation. The wax can help delay ripening so fruit stays fresh during transport to grocery stores and inhibit mold growth and prevents bruising.

The wax is used to appeal to your eye. We buy based off of what we perceive looks good and our culture trained us that shiny, large, perfectly shaped fruit is superior. It is not. Not in taste, and not in environmental health.

One of the main problems with supermarket fruit is just that, it’s from the supermarket. Fruit can travel thousands of miles around the world being processed

and packaged before making it to our grocery shelves.

Transportation is a huge emitter of greenhouse gases.

Reduce your impact by buying local or growing your own. Local farmer’s markets are the best way to go to reduce this transportation issue.

The National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) conducted a study in California looking at the impacts of importing fresh produce instead of growing and consuming them locally. “In 2005, the import of fruits, nuts, and vegetables into California by airplane released more than 70,000 tons of CO2, which is equivalent to more than 12,000 cars on the road,” stated by the NRDC. Overall they found buying local was a better choice.

When people think of reducing their impact on the environment, the obvious answers come into our minds first - recycling, turning off the water when you brush your teeth, etc. These are important but we really need to change the way we eat - that thing we do every day at least three times a day. And this is the absolute best time to start.

When the fruit is most flavorful, now, is the best time to buy local organic fruit and retrain your tastebuds to what real food tastes like. It doesn’t have a tin foil covering, nor does it taste mealy from being picked before ripening. Real locally grown fruit tastes crisp, clean, and causes less environmental degradation. Conventional farming requires more pesticides and fertilizers.

This is also the time of year these natural skittles are lower in cost. Farmer’s market tomatoes are often cheaper than their grocery store counterparts. Some things may still be more expensive to buy local or organic but nothing is beating the plums I had the other day or the local blueberries and blackberries I handpicked myself at Greer Farm in East Texas.

It’s time to find the local farmer’s markets as I travel this summer. I’ve had enough wax for a year.

Nonprofit kicks off Partners Card 2018

By Jane Rozelle

jane@plugpublicrelations.com Dallas-based family violence agency, The Family Place, raised a glass to the start of their signature fundraiser, Partners Card. The nonprofit agency, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year kicked off festivities for the 26th annual Card at upscale Oak Lawn boutique, Nuvo.

“We are thrilled to be part of this Dallas fundraising tradition!” enthused co-chair Julian Leaver, who spoke to the jovial patrons, alongside fellow co-chairs Leigh Danley and Tierney Kaufman Hutchins as well as this year’s honorary chair, Max Trowbridge.

The Family Place CEO, Paige Flink was joined by board members, family and longtime supporters at Nuvo. The cheerful crowd delighted in sips and scrumptious bites from Parigi – Chef-Owner Janice Provost was on the scene looking pretty in pink, of course.

Guests enjoyed visiting with esteemed artist, Kris Ammon (of KCA Design) who was on the scene hand painting an assortment of items purchased by patrons, including candles, picture frames and coffee table books.

The Family Place is leading the charge with a mission to empower victims of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling and skills that create independence

Barky cont'd from page 6 2018 World Cup games on the Spanish language station greatly outdistanced those for the simultaneous English language presentation on Fox (Fox4, locally).

A 3-0 defeat to Sweden on the morning of June 27, rocked the charts in these parts, even though the match was on a working weekday for many.

The Telemundo coverage drew 242,151 total viewers, with 109,221 of them in the advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-old demographic. In contrast, Fox

while building community engagement and advocating for social change to stop family violence. As its signature fundraiser, Partners Card is a 10-day shopping event that will run from Friday, October 26th to Sunday, November 4th this fall. Shoppers purchase a Partners Card for $70 to receive a 20 percent discount at 750+ participating retailers across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Over the past 25 years, the efforts have raised more than $18 million to help break the cycle of family violence in our community.

pulled in 78,343 total viewers locally, with 31,206 in the 18-to-49 motherlode.

Those numbers equate to Telemundo drawing more than three times as many viewers than Fox did in both ratings measurements. So Mexico’s adios isn’t just a downer for the team’s fans.

It also subtracts many potential advertising dollars from the local Telemundo revenue stream. Vaya con dios until 2022, when Mexico again will presumably qualify anew.
