POLICE SHOOTING
Obama, Bush call for unity at Dallas Memorial By Johnathan Silver, Aneri Pattani and Khorri Atkinson/The Texas Tribune Steps away from pictures of the five officers killed last week by a lone gunman, President Barack Obama, former President George W. Bush and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said Tuesday the best way to honor their lives is for Americans to open their hearts to one another and unite. “With an open heart, we can worry less about which side has been wronged and worry more about joining sides to do what is right,” Obama said at an interfaith service honoring Brent Thompson, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Michael Smith and Lorne Ahrens.

Dallas Police Headquarters is overflowing with gifts and notes of love and support.
DALLAS HAS SHOWN THE COUNTRY “THE MEANING OF PERSEVERANCE AND CHARACTER AND HOPE,” OBAMA SAID. Growing up, I had uncles in law enforcement. I learned the importance of the badge and the uniform. I learned that you treated police officers with respect. I was brought up to know that “Black Lives Matter.” I also knew that “Blue Lives Matter,” as well. All lives
matter. The reward of police work “comes with knowing our entire way of life depends on the rule of law,” Obama said. Image a city or country where lawlessness was uncontrolled, where police were not treated with respect or where people
were singled out simply because of the color of their skin. Sometimes it feels like those times are upon us. Dr. Frederick Douglass Haynes III, senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church, said in a statement: “It is a profound tragedy that a peaceful protest of the unjust killings of two black men by police was shattered by the tragic and senseless murder of five law enforcement officers by a sniper. I extend my deepest prayers and sympathies to the families of those public servants, and to the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Now is a time for the faith community to stand as a beacon of hope and light in the face of darkness and violence.” We must be resolute. We must be supportive. We must have faith. We must take back respect for others — all others — as a society. And we must thank DPD officers Sgt. Michael Smith, 55, who had been with the department since 1989; Senior Cpl. Lorne Ahrens, 48, who had been with the department since 2002; Officer Michael Krol, 40, who had been with the department since 2007; Officer Patrick Zamarripa, 32,
an Iraqi war veteran who had been with the department since 2011; and DART Officer Brent Thompson, 43, a former Marine, who had been with the department since 2009, who died in the line of duty while protecting Americans to have the right to an organized protest. Dallas-native and Police Chief David Brown and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings have done a remarkable job keeping perspective on the pain and suffering that the city is experiencing. Brown said, “Dallas loves.” “It is not our fault,” Rawlings said. Dallas has shown the country “the meaning of perseverance and character and hope,” Obama said. They are all right. But it doesn’t make the pain of the last few days go away. We are a great city here in Dallas. And I have recently seen the compassion at Dallas Police Headquarters, El Centro College, the Meyerson and at houses of worship that show no colors. And we are one great country. And today, more than ever, we should be asking what we can do for this great land of ours.

OUR MISSION
including excessive crying or inability to get out of bed. Men tend to have more inward expression of emotion including lack of interest in pleasurable activities and withdrawal from friends and family. Treatment should be sought out as soon as possible. The first step is telling someone about your feelings. Therapists or psychologists are well equipped to assist in managing your feelings and emotions such as these. Although this is the less used method for managing depression, it is likely the most beneficial in the long-term. The more common treatment is medical management including antidepressant medications. These medications target neurotransmitters in the brain to increase their activity — resulting in improvement of depressive symptoms. Depression can be fatal — with many different reports of suicide or murder of a child caused by postpartum depression. If untreated, this can be a dangerous condition. If you have any of these feelings, seek medical attention immediately. Dr. Kimberly Washington, a general surgeon at Highlander Surgical Associates in Arlington, maintains an interest in health education and advocacy.

your body to process. It can be complicated to sift through all the packaging claims, because they’re put there specifically to be enticing. We all want a magic product that tastes delicious and will make us perfectly healthy in just one bite. We’re all quick to believe something that’s printed on a label, especially if it targets something we’re looking to improve in our health. Unfortunately, some of these labels are completely insignificant (for example, “natural” is a completely unregulated term and can basically be slapped upon any food product, regardless of the ingredients). So rather than navigate the complicated labels, challenge yourself to choose whole, real food, which often doesn’t even have labels. True health doesn’t come in fancy, packaged products. Most of the healthiest foods on the planet are fruits and vegetables, as well as minimally
processed nuts and seeds, oils, grains, meats and whatever else you choose to add. By eating minimally processed, “real” food, we can save money — and improve our health. Today, choose an apple and some almonds instead of a sugar-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free (but chemical-heavy) energy bar. Have a big salad with avocado, several types of vegetables and grilled salmon instead of a drive-through cheeseburger. Make one single shift that edges you closer to eating real food. Then next week, add one more shift. Keep getting closer to a whole foods diet and you’ll keep getting closer to a healthier you!

ENTERTAINING cont'd from page 1 Just Country.” Also on July 29 at 10 p.m., Marisa Diotalevi, who channeled Janis Joplin in “The Empress and the Pearl” opposite Lee’s Bessie Smith, will entertain with “Age of Hilarious.” Saturday, July 30 at 7:30 p.m. is an “All Star Tribute to Buddy Hanahan and the Hideaway” hosted by Denise Lee and Gary Floyd. All performances will be in the Women’s Museum Building at Fair Park, with no admission charge. Lee has a passion for the art form of cabaret. Strongly believing in paying it forward with her own blessings, Lee launched the festival through the generosity of its sponsor, the City of Dallas, so the community can enjoy it at no charge. “I’ve wanted to do this for six years. It’s been a dream and a vision and now things are falling into place. I know where I’m supposed to be,” she said. Lee said the City contacted her about sponsoring the festival, based on the monthly cabarets she has put together. “The Mayor wants to bring this kind of art to Dallas,” she added. “I’m excited that people are so interested.” Lee’s local credits also include such high-profile theater as the world premiere of “Stagger Lee” at the Dallas Theater Center; “The Sunshine Boys” with Dick and Jerry Van Dyke and “A Christmas Carol.” She has entertained internationally at venues in Shanghai, Bejing, Switzerland and France. The star has appeared in film and television roles in “Mad Money” with Diane Keaton; “Cowgirls & Angels” with James Cromwell; “Good Guys” and “The Lying Game,” to name only a few credits. She appeared in the long-running series “Dallas” and has done many commercial and corporate industrials. Fans and followers were treated to Lee’s one-woman show, “Denise Lee Sings the Divas of American Music” at the Winspear Opera House, in which she performed the music of Bonnie Raitt, Lena Horne, Aretha Franklin, Carole King, Barbra Streisand and other legends. The Denise Lee Onstage/Fair Park Dallas Cabaret series has included and will feature local talent in upcoming performances: B.J. Cleveland, Sara Shelby-Martin and Jeff Lancov are just a few. Lee looks forward to performing with her friend and colleague, another Dallas Diva, Liz Mikel in “Bella: An American Tall Tale.” This world premiere at the Dallas Theater Center (Wyly Theatre, Potter Rose Performance Hall) will run Sept. 22 to Oct. 22. “This is going to be one of the most unique pieces of theater,” she said. Taking humility to a whole new level, Lee won’t “brag” about her awards, so it took a lot of research to turn up a partial

list them. In 2007 and 2009 Lee was named Best Cabaret Performer by the Dallas Voice. She was named Cabaret Artist of the Year in 2013 by Sammons Cabaret. Broadway World Dallas recognized her with its Best Cabaret Performer in 2015, and she won the Readers Voice Award for Best Actress in 2016. John Garcia, founder, executive director/ producer of THE COLUMN Awards said, “Denise has a distinguished legacy in a record number of COLUMN awards, which no winner has surpassed. She has won 11 COLUMN Awards total in our 18-year history. She has won in both Best Actress in a Musical and Best Actress in a Play categories, and a Best Supporting Actress one year. She continues to do extraordinary work and it is wonderful to see her work acknowledged by the DFW theater community with her COLUMN award accolades.” The COLUMN AWARDS is the only awards organization in the DFW area that honors excellence in theater in both equity and non-equity. The organization is also the only awards organization in the U.S. that serves as a fundraiser for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. Her cabaret series at Two Corks and a Bottle Winery has included Terry Loftis’ “Two for the Road” and will feature Lee herself in “Girl Songs” Tuesday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. and B.J. Cleveland in “Laughing Matters” July 16 at 7:30 p.m. The winery is located at 2800 Routh St. #140, Dallas 75201. Patrons can look forward to seeing Lee next year in the sequel to “The Empress and the Pearl.” “The Lady and the Pearl, Part 2: Miss Billie and Miss Freddie” will run March 23 to April 16, 2017. Bruce Coleman, acting artistic director of Theatre Three said, “Denise and I have been friends and colleagues for nearly 30 years. In some ways I feel like I have grown up with her. She is such a talented and gifted artist. But even more than that, she is a loyal friend. I have treasured the many hours we have spent together, either creating a work of art or laughing ourselves silly over some bit of gossip. Here’s to the next 30 years!” In an ultimate act of her selfless commitment to the community, Lee organized a “Community Conversation” Monday of this week in response to the tragedy that shocked Dallas July 7, when 12 Dallas Police officers and DART security officers were gunned down, with five of them succumbing to gunshot wounds, along with the other recent, hideous crimes in Dallas and other cities. A DISD Roosevelt High School alumnae, who is proud of her two daughters, Lee said, “I have to juggle so much so I don’t have to get a 9-5. I’ve done this as sole means of support for about 12 years, but I haven’t missed the rent,” she quipped. “I am really enjoying my career right now. I’ve been favored. No 9-5.”

numbers are important to keep our ecological systems in balance. Let them live to eat the mice. Wildlife photography is a popular hobby for many. This is also a great way to encourage your tech enthused children to explore the outdoors. Give them an old camera phone and see how many species in nature they can find. And don’t worry about identifying each species, you’ll get better the more you do it. Use the iNaturalist app to store your finds, help get identifications on your pictures and discover what everyone else is finding in our DFW area. The current tally on the DFW Urban Wildlife Project on iNaturalist has more than 49,000 observations of 2,366 species by 1,218 people! Join in the fun and explore while many animals are active and plants are in bloom. The top five animals seen in the area are mallards, fox squirrel, red eared slider (turtle), northern cardinal and great egret. Have you seen all five this summer?

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see a rise in the level of nervous energy being expended by a great many people on a daily basis. An increase in potential stress in certain areas that are not routine will affect nearly everyone on a basic level, tapping into doubts and fears in a way that most endeavors never do. For some, it may be travel; for others, accepting a new job or assignment; for still others, relationship issues may be stirred up as they haven't been before. In all of these situations, individuals must apply a certain amount of courage to each event, and in doing so, most will find that they have it within them to overcome anything that might threaten to curb positive growth or forward motion. The realization that there is only so much a person can do to ensure a certain outcome can be the saving grace for many. Indeed, a combination of willful action and the ability to go along for the ride can prove most effective. Anyone who recognizes what can and cannot be controlled will have a leg up. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You mustn't let a few bumps in the road keep you from reaching your destination. Focus on what you really stand to gain. (July 8-July 22) – You may be shaken by the decisions you have to make, but you can certainly forge ahead with the help of another.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Progress may have to be measured in smaller increments than usual, but it is still progress. You'll soon be nearing your destination. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You mustn't let certain circumstances affect you more than usual. Watch what another does, and follow suit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) Your view of the future needn't be affected by your impressions of the past. It's the here and now that matters most. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You know that someone is waiting for you, but there's only so much you can do to dictate the pace. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You may be communicating with someone on a whole new plane, and he or she will respond in a way that excites you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Certain obstacles are unavoidable, but you know how to get past them with a minimum of fuss. Delays should be brief. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) While you are trying to focus on your primary endeavors, someone close to you is readying you for something else. Be cooperative! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You should be able to proceed as if nothing is wrong, even when you are
preoccupied with one or two unusual minor issues. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Your ability to get above the fray will help you immensely. What troubles others needn't trouble you at all. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You know what's coming and how you must prepare for it. Others may disagree and offer advice, but your way is best — this time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You'll want to keep track of where you are and the progress you are making in order to keep from second-guessing yourself. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You're eager to get where you are going, yet you want to enjoy the ride. The trick is to recognize a hidden opportunity along the way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You can surely remain on schedule, despite the fact that much of what you will be doing would not normally be on the docket. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – The fog should lift, leaving you with a clear view of your surroundings and a better idea of where you're going. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You'll want to shop around before deciding on something that cannot be traded in. Be certain!

Mexican free-tailed bat that spends its summer in Texas and winters farther south. They roost together under bridges (Congress Avenue bridge in Austin), caves, old train tunnels and more throughout the state. Other species of bats roost in trees, on the ground and in building structures. Less than one percent of bats have rabies, yet bats are perceived as scary animals. The bats in Texas eat insects, and by the amount of mosquitoes in my backyard, it seems like Dallas could benefit from more bats. If you find one in your home, turn off the lights and open the windows and doors; the bat will make its way out on its own. A great summer project for you and your kids could be to make a bat box that hangs in your yard and provides bats a safe welcomed place to roost encouraging them to stay instead of threatening them to leave. Living in the city, it’s easy to forget we aren’t the only animals sharing this world. Use the warm season as an opportunity to remember our world is full of amazing creatures, and with respect, we can all coexist. Naima Montacer is a freelance writer and conservationist.

HAMMER AND NAILS
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com It’s hard to find the time in your day to eat right, work out, get enough sleep, be a parent and work a full-time job. How can you save time, money and still get the exercise you need? I suggest you create that long overdue home gym. I’m not saying to create some laundry room/ gym hybrid. I mean to actually create a room dedicated to your health and fitness, right under your own roof. No laundry baskets or screaming kids. By doing this, you have immediate access to a workout facility, saving you a trip to the gym and another monthly payment. Although a home gym is a great advantage to a busy person, having a home gym can be full of distractions. It’s important to not only make the space your own but to make sure it has a door that can close off the space from external noise and nuances. Nobody wants a workout full of interruptions. To make the space your own, install a sound system meant to motivate and inspire you throughout your routine. Ultimately, whatever you want in your gym is up to you. Start with making a list of what you want in your gym, and then work around that. If you like yoga, make sure there’s a place for your yoga mats. If you like free weights, make sure you have a place to store those. Customize it to fit you. For example, my favorite piece of workout equipment
in the living room — you know those pups retail for like $11,000 each — the Brueton coffee tables, four Van Der Straeten lamps, as well as rugs, plus bedding (and more) custom designed by Julie Cohn. Julie is a Lakewood artist, designer, and overall superwoman of talent. Supposedly she was working on very custom bedding for the guest room with the outline of a woman on the bedspread with Angie's prison number on it, but they never completed it. Current owners bought the bed and the nightstands and a Pucci architectural coffee table that is one of only 10 in the world. The new owners also did a lot inside this unit to take it from the stark white white white box of Angie's World to bring in warmth. They opened the master suite to its magnificent windows to the world — for some reason the master windows had been blocked off — and added natural stone to the bathrooms. Color was subtly added to every room in
the house. They also kept (bought) Angie's balcony furniture, but don't fret — the outdoor terrace space is so huge, even the largest scale pieces would work here. The important thing is what is left behind in the structure, and it is a whole lot of extras few One Arts units ever see. Dave Perry-Miller agent Kenneth Walters has this unit listed for $2,599,000, which is ironically just a little more than Angie had it listed for two years ago. (Sold for $2.1 in December of 2013.) But now, of course, no furniture will be left behind. This is a rare chance to own a One Arts unit that has some real Dallas history, notoriety, and yes JUICE in a building just completed in 2008.

Obama, Bush and local leaders addressed a sea of black suits, dresses and uniforms at the Meyerson Symphony Center, where an estimated 2,500 people attended the service. Throughout the dimly lit room, attendees sported yellow and blue sashes representing the Dallas community and its first responders, respectively. The stage for the memorial was adorned with photos of the five fallen officers, as well as an array of flags representing North Texas cities that were among the first to rally for Dallas on Thursday. The five officers died when Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, opened fire on police Thursday night, striking 10 Dallas Police Department officers and one from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority. The shooting came at the end of a peaceful protest by hundreds against the two recent police killings of black men Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota. The mayor and the president said the city has made efforts to transform the department’s reputation and improve relations with the black community.
"TO RENEW OUR UNITY, WE ONLY NEED TO REMEMBER OUR VALUES. WE HAVE NEVER HELD TOGETHER BY BLOOD OR BACKGROUND." In his remarks, Obama called upon Americans to reject those who would try to use the events in Texas, Louisiana and Minnesota to paint police officers or protesters with one broad brush, instead asking people to focus on Americans' common bonds. “In this audience, I see what’s possible. I see what’s possible when we recognize that we are one American family, all deserving of equal treatment, all deserving equal respect, all children of God — that’s the America I know,” Obama said. Bush, Obama's predecessor, also called for unity during his remarks at the memorial and lauded Dallas police officers for their service during the deadly incident. "They and their families share the unspoken knowledge that each new day can bring new dangers, but none of us were prepared, or could be prepared, for an ambush by hatred and malice," Bush said. He later added, "To renew our unity, we only need to remember our values. We have never held together by blood or background." Earlier in the service, Rawlings credited police with their efforts to combat violence.

Cedar Grove Restaurant brings the outdoors in.

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Frankly, picnics, like camping, are highly overrated as outdoor fun.

meat special of that day. The daily menu includes a marinated hanger steak with french fries. Our ribeye had great flavor, and I’d expect the hanger steak to taste just as hearty. The fries are habit-forming, especially when dipped in roasted garlic aioli. They can be further embellished with truffle parmesan, if you want to pay a small upcharge. When it was time for dessert, we shared the strawberries and cream sundae, a parfait of yummy, roasted strawberries with buttermilk cake and vanilla ice cream. The other choices sound amazing too, including mint chocolate sundae with hot fudge, brownie and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Most of the desserts at Cedar Grove incorporate ice cream in some way. If you need another reason to picnic indoors, remember that toting ice cream in a picnic basket is sure disaster.

MOVIE TRAILER By Chic DiCiccio
This version of ‘Ghostbusters’ is a call for help
@chiccywood
For months on end, the 2016 “Ghostbusters” remake has had a steady stream of insanity surrounding it. Those that bash it on a 24hour basis range from crazed fans of the 1984 original to people who don’t want to see women in movies. Those who defend it do it as if it were an undeniable right to do so in outrageously dismissive ways. Never mind that none of those people have seen “Ghostbusters.” If and when they do, they should feel fairly stupid. At its best, this is a carbon copy of the original smash hit that is only saved, at times, by its stars. When at its worst, it is a garbage summer movie that throws cartoon-like CGI on screen for 45 straight minutes while making these poor actresses waste their comedic talents on shouting overly scientific sounding mumbo jumbo. One of the biggest mistakes that director-screenwriter Paul Feig, along with fellow writer Katie Dippold, make is there are virtually no changes to the original movie’s story. It even begins with a cold open in which a ghost shows up and sets the entire plot in

Contemporary comediennes replace popular comics in 2016 remake of "Ghostbusters." motion. The only difference is that it occurs at a fictional historic residence-turned-museum and not at the New York Public Library. The haunting forces Columbia professor Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) to track down her childhood best friend, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), who co-authored a book with Erin about the supernatural. Abby has not given up on ghost chasing and runs a department at a much less respectable New York college with the help of the off-thecharts eccentric Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon).
It takes approximately 15 minutes for Erin and Abby to reconcile their past differences and begin, well, ghost busting. Some seriously clumsy storytelling thrusts former MTA worker Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) on the team, and the four of them begin getting attention from the citizens of New York, in particular the Mayor and his assistant (Andy Garcia and Cecily Strong). Most of the big laughs in “Ghostbusters” come at the expense of Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), the team’s receptionist hired mostly due to his eye candy factor. Naturally,
he’s as dumb as a box of rocks and unable to handle the simplest of tasks, such as understanding how to answer a telephone. The first half moves quickly, but it is reasonably entertaining. There are some forced cameos that bring nothing to the table other than a head nod to the original movie. If anything, they do a disservice by pandering to the nostalgic base a bit too heavily. “Ghostbusters” falters in nearly every moment the main villain is on screen (Neil Casey, in an agonizingly irritating performance) and once his big bad plan comes to fruition, it becomes unwatchable. The CGI, while enhanced in 3D, isn’t realistic enough to provide any scares and the sets are so horribly rendered that the only people that would believe these are actual New York streets are those who have never seen a Manhattan street in any way possible. Thankfully, the poorly conceived and photographed action is broken up by one small sequence involving McKinnon that is destined to be her star-making turn. The actors, required to advance an extremely forced plot, struggle to really let loose. The biggest head scratcher is essentially making Melissa
McCarthy and Kristen Wiig the same character. Wiig is shockingly bland and McCarthy’s patented boisterous delivery disappears completely. Their roles are so poorly conceived that there’s little either of them can do to save them, even with their best efforts. Leslie Jones is funny, even in a stereotypical role. Kate McKinnon, on the other hand, is a revelation. She’s the strange love child of Johnny Depp’s Hunter S. Thompson and Harold Ramis’ Egon Spangler. McKinnon has the only role with any uniqueness or originality and she is by far the highlight of “Ghostbusters.” The faults of “Ghostbusters” are truly due to a below average script and a poor choice in the director’s chair. Paul Feig’s free flow, improvisational style is ill fitted to a structured action-comedy such as this. Also, he’s hampered by a no doubt required PG-13 rating. At one point, McCarthy’s Abby exclaims “Shoot!” and the only thing funny about it is recognizing the word and/or words she should be saying. At the end of the day, the hubbub around “Ghostbusters” will end up a tempest in a teapot over a below average, run of the mill action-comedy. All those people got mad online for nothing.

UNCLE BARKY’S BITES
Baltimore has become destination spot
Ready or not, here they come

For all the negative publicity Baltimore has received in the past few years, it is still a very interesting place to visit if you love American history, or if you love baseball, as Baltimore has one of the nicest stadiums. The main tourist area of Baltimore is built around Photos by Michael Wald what is known as the Inner American history lives on at Fort McHenry. Harbor.

The national political conventions are upon us, with the Republicans starting on Monday in Cleveland before the Democrats convene a week later in Philadelphia. Ed I’ve been to 10 of them in my time, beginning with the 1984 GOP gathering in sweltering Dallas and ending with the 2004 convention in New York City, where the Republicans sent George W. Bush and Dick Cheney on the road to re-election. There actually used to be something of a raging debate over how the broadcast networks were egregiously downsizing their coverage of these so-called civics lessons in democracy. Now, it doesn’t really matter. Although the Donald Trump-centric Republican Convention in particular is likely to be a crazy, untamed affair, none of the Big Four broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) is planning to devote more than one hour of prime-time per night to the events inside and outside of Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena. There could be spillage into late night hours, particularly for Trump’s climactic acceptance speech. He’s known for going long. And if the protests turn ugly, the broadcast networks assuredly will cut away from other regularly scheduled programming. Whatever happens, alternative ways to watch have multiplied to the point where anyone with cable, a satellite dish or a computer should not feel in the least bit “disenfranchised.” C-SPAN’s always an option for those who want a commentary-free convention. PBS will
offer largely unadulterated coverage during speechifying. And for those who prefer lots of accompanying blab, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News Channel (FNC) again will go “gavel to gavel,” with the latter network almost certain to draw the largest TV audience in the Dallas-Fort Worth Bark market and quite possibly nationally as well. Despite the “Fair and Balanced” hokum, FNC has always been seen as home base for Republicans and conservatives. Similarly, left-leaning MSNBC’s ratings will perk up for the Hillary Clintoncommanded Democratic Convention, although the network still will be very hardpressed to outdraw FNC, CNN or any of the broadcasters. On the “streaming” front, CBS is teaming with Twitter for the first time to bring continuous live coverage of both conventions. This statement from Twitter’s Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Noto, indicates how much times have changed: “Twitter is the fastest way to find out what’s happening in politics and to have a discussion about it. By bringing the live discussion of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions together with CBSN’s live video stream of the proceedings, we believe we’re giving people around the world the best way to experience democracy in action.” Or, if you don’t like Twitter, just google around. The possibilities will be virtually endless in times when the traditional TV coverage plans of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox are now in large part beside the point. Random Nibbles: All four major local TV news organizations broke in for continuous coverage of the horrific ambush of Dallas police officers
BATTLE cont'd from page 2 really a witch? I’ve met this woman on other occasions, and she’s been much friendlier, even when my dog barked a bit. She was probably stressed out this morning because they were so busy, and barking dogs were the last straw. Overgeneralizations (always, never, nobody, everybody). “That receptionist is always rude to the clients. I’ll never bring another dog to this vet clinic again!” These sweeping statements are rarely true, and they can color your perception of other people, making you see them through a negative filter. You only need one piece of contrary evidence to disprove always or never. This same receptionist has been nice to me on other visits, so it’s not true that she is always rude. I may vow to never return to this vet clinic, but chances are I’ll go back the next time a foster dog needs a quick, cheap rabies shot. The first
in downtown Dallas. Unlike in the past, WFAA-TV is no longer the automatic go-to station for major breaking news. Fox4 was the runaway ratings leader in every hour — from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. — in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds (the main advertiser target audience for news programming). From midnight to 2 a.m., for instance, Fox4 drew more 25-to54-year-olds than WFAA, NBC5 and CBS11 combined. Veteran WFAA street reporter Jim Douglas will be retiring at the end of July after 21 distinguished years at the station. Douglas, 60, said he’s grown weary of knocking on doors to inform people of tragedies and also wants to spend more time in Cincinnati, “where my parents are facing life changes and where our oldest daughter lives.” CBS11 has demoted Keith Russell to weekends after he was hired in March of last year to replace Babe Laufenberg as the station’s main weeknight sports anchor. Veteran Bill Jones will be filling in, for now. CBS11 meteorologist Scott Padgett, who had been filling in for departed chief meteorologist Larry Mowry, is on leave tending to “personal family business,” he said on his Facebook page. “But I assure you all is well. I haven’t left CBS11 and will hopefully be back at the beginning of August.” Ed Bark, who runs the TV website unclebarky.com, is a current board member of the Press Club of Dallas.
time I go back, my statement is false. Instead of focusing on sweeping statements, describe the specific incident and use that information to change your behavior, if possible. I realized that mid-morning on a Monday is not the best, least-crowded time to go to the walk-in-only clinic. I have a better experience when I arrive earlier on a Tuesday or Wednesday. The next time you’re ready to wage a war over poor treatment, slow down and think about whether your unrealistic thoughts may be playing a role in your stress or anger. You may want to pick your battles. You can always complain in the future, but you can’t take it back after it’s out there.

BUS cont'd from page 1 Bus. Saturday, July 16 at noon, the Brew Bus will make their first stop at 3 Nations Brewing Co., following with Lakewood and finally, one of our favorites, Deep Ellum Brewing Co. Each stop will offer craft beer samples along with talks about what these brewing companies have in common with the coming season for The Dallas Opera. Attendees of this weekend’s tour will have the opportunity to receive a special ticket offer for upcoming performances, as well as prizes from the Brew Bus and opera house. Seating on the tours is especially limited, so be sure to get your ticket in advance at dallasbrewbus.com. While this weekend’s tour might be aimed at more traditional art and opera lovers, past tours have included Uber brewery crawls across downtown Dallas, themed events like “Tour de Brewpubs” this past March and a Father’s Day tour that even made a stop at Witherspoon Distillery. Tours for the following months will occur as planned. With July coming in hot, there’s no better time for you to experience North Texas breweries in a way like never before. Learn from the craft masters, the Brew Bus, the Dallas Brew Scene and all of the enthusiasts dedicated to cultivating it. Tickets for tours run about $50 per guest, but vary depending on the tour, and are only valid for those that are 21 and up. BALTIMORE cont'd from page 8 rehabilitated.

THE MARY KAY FOUNDATION
Named for Mary Kay Ash in 1996, the foundation has a two-fold mission, cancer research and preventing domestic violence.
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? Mary Kay Ash was passionate about supporting various causes and giving back to the community since the inception of her business. The establishment of The Mary Kay Foundation in 1996 was simply the formalization of these efforts and a reflection of Mary Kay Ash’s giving heart. The Mary Kay Foundation has a two-fold mission focusing on issues closest to Mary Kay Ash’s heart: to fund research of cancers affecting women and to help prevent domestic violence while raising awareness of the issue.
A
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A D uring the past 20 years, more than $64
million has been awarded to shelters and programs addressing domestic violence prevention and research for women’s cancers touching millions of lives.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches those in need?
A Ninety-seven cents of every dollar supports our efforts to help women and children around the world.
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the calendar?
A We just completed our fifth annual
Mary Kay Charity Golf Classic and will welcome runners and walkers for the 11th annual MK5K on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Mary Kay’s headquarter campus in
Addison. And this summer, DFW area residents can clean out their closets for a good cause by participating in our annual Suits for Shelters professional clothing drive.
Q What do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
A Mary Kay is proud to have a 50 plus-
year history of calling Dallas our home. While The Mary Kay Foundation’s annual Shelter Grant program provides funding for shelters in all 50 states.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A It is immensely rewarding to work every
day toward a mission of enriching women’s lives. These are real issues that affect almost everyone in our communities. While the numbers surrounding these issues are staggering, the data only reinforces our mission and our commitment to ending domestic violence and cancers affecting women.
Q S uppose your nonprofit received a
