SMU student kicks way to Rio To Jackie Galloway’s classmates, she’s just a self-described nerd in the Lyle School of Engineering, frantically creating computer models and cramming for the next exam. To those who know her well, she’s kind of a superhero. A mild-mannered student in the classroom and a world-class taekwondo expert in the ring, Galloway (red helmet), 21, is better than a superhero — she’s real. And this summer, Photo courtesy of SMU she’ll represent Team USA at the Olympic Games, one of six current or former SMU students who will compete at the Rio games. — Kenny Ryan

POLICE SHOOTING

Gov. Abbott proposes cop attacks as hate crimes

By Christopher Connally/ KERA News Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday that he wants to classify attacks on police as hate crimes. The idea has the backing of law enforcement groups, but it’s raised some concerns among advocates for hate crimes legislation.

Charley Wilkison said police officers feel like they have a target on their backs.

He’s the head of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas. That feeling, he said, started long before cops were gunned down in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

“Texas has lost the most officers in the line of duty of any state in America, and that is always the case,” Wilkison said.

So Wilkison was pleased

After 75 years, company still a cutting edge business

By David Mullen

This October, Clampitt Paper will celebrate 75 years providing paper to a variety of clients and for a variety of uses. The 180,000 square-foot headquarters in the Dallas warehouse district on Ambassador Row — joining, among others, offices in Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio — has grown and flourished as the needs of customers have changed over the decades.

“My dad worked for a couple of other paper companies from 1929 to 1940,“ Don Clampitt, chairman and chief executive officer of Clampitt Paper said. “Some of his customers said ‘Max, I think you can do this better on your own.’ My dad borrowed $50K from Republic Bank and $50K from [legendary Dallas entrepreneur] Charles

Sammons to partner in Clampitt. In 1941, there were money guys and no money guys. My dad was real involved in the community. He was 29.

July is best for planting turf

By Dave Forehand What to prune in July. Be careful to avoid major pruning this month as the summer heat sets in ­— though you can now prune live or red oaks. Take the time to prune out any dead or broken branches of woody ornamentals like trees and shrubs, and begin cutting back any overgrown perennials and annuals to keep growth compact.

Trash Bash a smash

Trash Bash Music Stash, held Saturday, July 16 at Truck Yard (above), was a huge success with more than 300 people in attendance. Volunteers loaded a party bus and were dropped off at various locations around Lower Greenville, armed with orange safety vests, trash grabbers, trash/recycle bags and tasked to pick up as much trash as they could on their walk back to the Truck Yard. They were rewarded for their hard work with a Trash Bash Music Stash T-shirt, gift card and an afternoon full of awesome live music and raffles. Trash was taken to the landfill and recyclables were separated and taken to recycle facility. — Naima Montacer OUR MISSION

Unthinkable assaults on our public servants, heinous acts of terrorism, unstable global economy and unexpected travesties caused by weather. So what do people turn to? Do they bury their collective heads in the sand? Hell, no! This is America!

They all resort to Pokémon Go! “Wait, what?” Way out of my demographic, Pokémon Go is a smartphone-based “reality” game where apparently Nintendo gobbles up all of your personal information and identifies your locations, and fans have an opportunity to capture those annoying little creatures that first burst on the scene about 20 years ago. While the app is free initially, followers can purchase additional gameplay opportunities. Introduced on July 8, Pokémon Go had been downloaded more than 7.5 million times in the second week of July and was grossing more than $1.6 billion every day. A teenage girl found a dead body while searching for a Pokémon. Missouri police lured four robbery suspects into a trap by promising a Pokémon was lurking. Amazing to learn that there is an APB out for the little known Eevee — the Shemp of Pokémon — in Texas. Of course, it is no surprise that Pikachu, the most popular Pokémon, is also the most sought after. Retailers are doing Pokémon specials, including some store called Beef Jerky Outlet that promised discounts to those that can show that they’ve achieved level 5 in Pokémon Go.

Rangers better not look down

By David Mullen

Seven habits separate fit from flabby

By Turner Cavender turner@dallasfbbc.com

david@katytrailweekly.com Remember Thursday, June 23? The Texas Rangers had a 10-game lead in the American League Western Division.

They had just won 16 out of 20 games and had the best record in the American League.

Resting in an easy chair with a smile on your face and cold brew at your side, the thoughts of October baseball were dancing in your head.

And then came Friday, June 24. Before 46,811 at Globe Life Park in Arlington, the Rangers jumped out to a 7-1 lead against the powerful Boston Red Sox and fans jumped for joy. But the bullpen could not hold the lead, gave up four runs in the ninth inning and the Rangers lost 8-7. Hey, it’s a 162-game season. Those things happen.

Then on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in the Bronx, the Rangers entered the ninth inning leading 7-3. But again the bullpen could not hold the lead and the Yankees scored six runs capped off by the light hitting Didi Gregorious belting a walk-off, two-run home run. But not to fear. The Rangers still were 23 games above .500 and the season was not even at the AllStar break.

But with that game, the late June/July swoon began.

Right now, the Rangers are as flat as that can of beer you left in the armrest of your La-ZBoy. Weaknesses have been exposed, and the once last place Houston Astros have the best record in the major leagues since mid-May and are now nipping at the Rangers spurs.

Is it too early to worry or are Rangers fans witnessing another epic collapse? A strong case can be made for both. Either way, the Rangers are in need of serious tweaks.

Outfield. With highly-paid Shin-Soo Choo unreliable with leg and back issues, the Rangers brought up rookie Nomar Mazara, who jumped out of the gates like a seasoned

PAGE 3

Nomar Mazara needs to avoid a second half slump. thoroughbred. He saved the Rangers on many April and May occasions. But once around the league and teams are starting to find his weaknesses. All-Star Ian Desmond has been the Rangers best player while learning to play centerfield. Ryan Rau is a serviceable outfielder (with due respect to U2) with or without Choo.

Prediction: A veteran outfield will be acquired as Mazara may not be able to last the grind of a major league season.

Infield. If the Rangers had 25 Adrian Beltres, they would run away with the pennant.

He is the rock of the team. If only his baseball acumen could rub off on Elvis Andrus and Rougned Odor, the Rangers would not continued to be saddled with dropped baseballs and base running blunders that have cost the team games during the current slide. First base is a disaster. Prince Fielder is not hitting his weight and may face season-ending surgery and Mitch Moreland is not hitting Fielder’s weight. Jurickson Profar has done everything asked of him, but is a player without a position. Prediction: The Rangers would make a move, but are handcuffed by the salaries of Andrus and Fielder.

Any trade to improve the team dramatically will cost them Moreland or, possibly, minor league prospect Joey Gallo who was once — and still may be — untouchable.

Catching. The three-headed monster of Bobby Wilson,

Bryan Holaday (disabled) and Robinson Chirinos together are double digits in home runs.

But together they are hitting around .220, which no pitchers fear. Prediction: The Rangers will acquire Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy, a .300 hitter, who they should have traded for in the off-season like everyone wanted. But it will cost them Gallo or Profar.

Pitching. Cole Hamels has saved the day for the team, with consistent outings and a professional demeanor. A healthy Yu Darvish brings together a dynamic duo.

Martin Perez has been a very good third starter who would be better in a fourth or fifth slot. Once again, Colby Lewis and Derek Holland (11 wins together) are injured and out until September. As for Holland, the Rangers may be out of patience. In an ideal situation, the Rangers would move all of their relief pitchers down one inning and find a closer. Sam Dyson looks a lot better in the eighth inning role than dealing with the pressure of the ninth. Prediction: The Rangers will trade for Oakland starter Rich Hill and hope the New York Yankees will part with reliever Andrew Miller.

The Rangers are in a funk. But beginning Monday, they play 39 of their last 65 games at home. The Astros are still looking up. But the Rangers better not look down, anymore.

Gettin’ jiggy with the Garden Gigs

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com If you haven’t been to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, make sure to plan a trip before the summer ends. And ladies, this is your time to get your man out of the house, because the Arboretum is known to have some of Pokémon Go’s most unique catches. Or simply mention that there is live music every Friday night and you are sure to have his attention.

Running through the month of July is the Dallas Arboretum’s Garden Gigs series, making Friday nights the perfect opportunity for you to experience the Arboretum and lounge among flowers and trees, while you take in the sweet sound of music. Featuring new local artists every Ryann Gordon week, Garden Gigs is your chance to take in the beauty of your city, not only the vegetation but personality as well.

Enjoy the intrinsic gifts of the world, both in nature and talent, at the Dallas Arboretum every Friday night of summer. Along with complimentary parking and $10 entrance fee, you can sit in on or stroll through this musical event like none other. Each night’s lineup features three or four artists to perform, along with some of DFW’s favorite food trucks and, of course, our favorite garden.

This Friday, July 22 from 7:30-9:30 p.m., Garden Gigs will kick off with four local performers — David Leigh, singer/songwriter and guitarist; Matt Tedder, an old-school soul musician; and the duo of John Lefler and Camille Cortinas. Lefler, a singer/songwriter, was previously with Dashboard Confessional, for those of us ’90s kids who remember, and Cortinas is a songstress and Dallas native.

Along with these performers, this Friday’s Garden Gigs will feature food trucks Rick’s Smokehouse BBQ, Easy Slider’s famous mini burgers and Kona Ice. Next week’s lineup (July

With more than 66 acres of greenery and vibrant floral displays, as well as breathtaking views along the esteemed White Rock Lake, the Arboretum is one of Dallas’ premier landmarks. It boasts 19 named gardens, some of the most well-kept, beautiful and intricate landscaping in DFW and hundreds of thousands of gorgeous blooms that go on for days, not to mention the lovely view of downtown Dallas across the shores of White Rock.

From waterfalls and fountains to gazebos and pathways shaded by winding vines and draping trees, all the way down to the simplest beauty — a single flower in a field of blooms — the Arboretum is the perfect place for you to escape the city from right down the street. And with their Garden Gigs series, there is something there for all of us.

Whether you’re a garden enthusiast, a music lover, a Pokémon gamer or all of the above, don’t miss out on this summer-exclusive event because it won’t be here for long. There are only two more Garden Gigs before July ends and so does the series, so be sure to head out one of these next two Friday nights. Bring a blanket, food if you like, and find a shady area to camp out on the green while you listen to local music and remember why you love this city so much.

Many people ask me how to quickly and easily get fit. While I know they are hoping for a simple answer, the reality is that getting and staying fit is a lifeTurner Cavender style, not a quick fix.

So what do fit people do in their “healthy lifestyle?” Take a peek with the following 7 Habits of Highly Fit People …

Fit Habit #1: They don’t buy junk. Fit people know that if they keep junk food in the house, they will eat it sooner or later. So they don’t buy any. Even buying junk food for your kids or spouse is not advised since 1) you’ll likely eat some of it eventually, and 2) your loved ones shouldn’t be eating that junk either. It’s called junk for a reason.

Rid your home of chips, cookies, candy, baked goods, pre-packaged snacks and anything else that belongs in a vending machine.

Replace the above with fresh fruit, veggies, nuts and other healthy whole foods snacks.

Fit Habit #2: They have priorities. Fit people make exercise a priority. Along with keeping a job, paying the bills and going to the doctor, exercise is an important part of their lives. What I’ve found is that fit people put exercise before leisure time. Sure, fit people enjoy leisure, but it is scheduled around their workout time.

Treat exercise time with the same importance that you would a business meeting or trip to the dentist.

Fit Habit #3: They stop when full. Fit people stop eating when they feel full. Sound simple? It is, but how many times have you stuffed yourself simply to clear your plate? Or how many times have you eaten another piece of cake despite being stuffed?

The next time you feel full, take it as a sign to stop eating. Yes, even if your plate isn’t empty.

Fit Habit #4: They push themselves.

Not only do fit people make time to go to the gym, they challenge themselves during each workout. While it is easy to simply go through the motions while exercising, you’re cheating your body out of great results when you don’t push yourself. Exercise should make you sweat, make your muscles burn and leave you with a feeling of accomplishment.

Find ways to make each workout more challenging. For competitive people, the best

way to push yourself is to exercise with a friend of similar strength. Another great way to challenge yourself is to set small, attainable goals. These goals could be to push heavier weight, to sprint longer or to do cardio at a higher intensity setting.

Fit Habit #5: They don’t eat and watch.

Fit people know that eating in front of the TV is mindless eating. When your attention is on your entertainment and not on your food, then you’ll be less tuned in to what and how much ends up in your mouth. Eating in front of the TV is also very habit forming. Ever notice how you crave munchies just as a reflex of sitting in front of the TV? Eat before or after your entertainment and pay attention to what and how much goes into your mouth.

Fit Habit #6: They drink water. Fit people drink lots of water. And not just in addition to other beverages, but instead of them.

Water is their main drink, while other drinks are occasional treats. Calorie-filled drinks are one of the quickest ways to consume excess calories that quickly turn into fat.

Consider water your beverage of choice.

Drink plenty of it each day and drink other beverages only a few times each week.

Fit Habit #7: They are supported. Fit people don’t leave their motivation to chance.

They know that if their personal trainer, boot camp instructor or workout partner is waiting for them, then they are less likely to skip a workout. It is so easy to hit snooze or to talk yourself out of the gym as soon as your behind hits the couch after work. Fit people take the option of skipping out of the equation.

I hope that these habits have inspired you to make a change for the fitter in your own life.

If you already do some of these habits then congratulations — you are on your way to a better body. Make an effort to incorporate the rest of the habits to take your results to the next level.

If none, or very few, of these habits describe your lifestyle, then I’ve got good news — you now have seven effective new habits to start that will get you some awesome results.

Don’t try to tackle all seven at once — pick one or two to add each week and gradually work up to all seven.

RAVES cont'd from page 1 “If I can make it here, I can make it there,” spewed the clueless hostess and show’s producer, Budder, played with incredible comic timing

by Cara Statham Serber. She takes “dumb blonde” to new heights. “The thing about reality shows is it’s happening the moment it is on.” Duh. Her Manhattan apartment is a far cry from the trailer park, where audiences fell in love with her as Lin, who was named for linoleum in WaterTower’s “Great American Trailer Park Musical.” She’s also made a name for herself at Dallas Theater Center, Dallas Children’s Theater, Kitchen Dog and other area stages.

Gus Head, played with believable naiveté by Matt Holmes, starts out as a straight man, and that’s straight as in “the character to bounce jokes off.” A newcomer to Dallas, the young actor develops the role into much more. Head is a cellist, who appeared in the Dallas Opera’s production of “Becoming Santa Claus.”

He was terrific in this year’s “The Road to Appomattox” at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas. He probably has a bright future carved out for himself in the area’s theaters.

One of Holmes’ responsibilities as a uniformed server at the fete, which follows opening night of “The Golden

Luke Longacre, Gus Head (in back) and B.J. Cleveland anxiously await reviews in “It’s Only a Play.”

Egg,” is one of the show’s best repeating bits. With each round of coats Holmes stacks on the bed, he announces that, for example, “The cast of [Lion King] just arrived.” That cast’s coats are in crazy animal-print fur. “Rock of Ages’” red and blue coats appear. “It closed but nobody told them.”

Lady Gaga’s coat is made of bubbles. Head delivers a long fur coat. “Tommy Tune must be here,” Cleveland observed. The young man delivers another batch of coats.

“No, I did not invite ‘The Book of Mormon,’” Budder said.

Wicker is in town for his friend, the play’s writer, Peter Austin. Chamblee Ferguson interprets the role with his usual rich performance. Wicker reveals that the two were old

friends, who both dated Ellen DeGeneres. Ba dum.

Cleveland’s facial expressions are huge and vivid enough to speak volumes, even without a line. The otherwise ordinary curling up on a chaise brings guffaws and he milks them, but tastefully. He’s respectful of not upstaging the rest of the ensemble, each having a juicy role that’s full of laughs.

Impressively, not any one character overshadows the remaining ensemble. Although it’s a laugh fest from start to finish, the great timing prevents laughter from drowning out too many of one outrageous line after another.

“I haven’t seen her [actress Virginia Noyes] that bad since her last performance,” Cleveland offered. Ba dum.

Wed 7/27

Bobbie Gentry, b. 1944 Peggy Fleming, b. 1948 Maya Rudolph, b. 1972 2001 – American Airlines Center opened in Dallas. 2,000 people cut the 3-mile long ribbon: two new world records.

Thu 7/28

Beatrix Potter, b. 1866 Richard Rodgers, b. 1902 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, b. 1929 Terry Fox, b. 1958 Lori Loughlin, b. 1964 1951 – Disney released “Alice in Wonderland.”

Shannon McGrann is Virginia Noyes, who is wearing an ankle-bracelet from her last parole. She explained, “I don’t have a drug problem. It’s a choice I make.” McGrann uses physicality along with her strings of “choice” dialogue to throw the audience into a tizzy.

“The Golden Egg’s” lead actress snorts white powders and gobbles Valium like potato chips.

Award winning Cheryl Denson’s direction is up to her ideal standards as audiences expect from the designer, director and actress of more than 200 plays on Dallas stages. After Friday’s opening, she said about the cast, “There’s nothing sexier than a beautiful woman who’s funny.”

One poignant moment comes when Luke Longacre, as Frank Finger, the director, gets a phone call. Instead of the anticipated New York Times, it’s from his dad in Corpus Christi. From Finger’s end, he seems to get nothing but disapproval, with no support from home.

When compared to Harvey Fierstein, Wicker retorted, “But I’m more masculine than Fierstein, right?”

After some time to think that over, Wicker said, “Nathan Lane I can accept, but Harvey Fierstein?”

“It’s Only a Play” continues at Uptown Players through July 31. For tickets and information, email info@ uptownplayers.org or call 214-219-2718.

Half of all mental illness begins by age 14, but access to effective services and support can facilitate the development of relationships, coping skills and positive educational and social experiences needed to succeed in life (National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2012).

Here at Galaxy Counseling Center, we have observed how access to mental health services can mitigate the effects of unhealthy environments and dysfunctional behaviors to which our youth are exposed. Several studies have documented the effectiveness of psychotherapy across diverse conditions and settings (Shedler, 2010; Thomas et al, 2007) and the benefits not only endure but continue to improve after therapy at follow-up (Abbas et al, 2006; DeMaat, 2009; Grant, 2012; etc.). In addition, results of psychotherapy tend to last longer and be less likely to require additional treatment than the use of psychological drugs (Beautler, 2009).

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

By Stella Wilder

The coming week will see many individuals putting things together in new and creative ways, exploring hitherto untried methods of reaching personal goals, and collaborating in new ways with team members both familiar and unfamiliar. Creativity is indeed the watchword, and it will require a kind of fearlessness that, combined with physical and emotional freedom, can propel anyone to a new level of accomplishment. Even those who are working on routine or familiar projects will find that new methods can add a welcome kind of spice to every endeavor. Putting one's best foot forward should not be difficult, as opportunities abound. Many will find themselves engaging in tasks that fit squarely into their sweet spots.

What is essential, of course, is that one's goals are firmly established and fully understood. There must be no guesswork when it comes to intent or the desired ends.

All activities must be fully organized, down to the finest detail. It may seem paradoxical, but this kind of organization will actually promote creative freedom!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You'll find that you are more comfortable with someone than you had expected. The result will be a major step forward. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – What you hear from a third party enables you and a partner to forge ahead with a new level of

confidence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You and two friends can be more than mere collaborators; you can be the "Three Musketeers," fighting a personal injustice. (Sept. 8-Sept.

22) – You'll fit into a new situation with ease. Others will take to you quickly and will adjust to your method of working.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You can have others enjoying their own work in new ways as you go about your business with increased confidence — and a sense of humor.

(Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Your ability to take what comes without rocking the boat will prove invaluable. You can keep everyone on an even keel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may be receiving mixed signals from someone who is delighted that you are back in his or her life. You must determine what is at stake.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – A simple change of scenery can work wonders for you. A new sense of purpose has you working at a faster pace, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may be doing something you've done before, but you'll be seeing the overall task in a whole new light. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may

be transitioning from a period of individual accomplishment to one of collaborative success. Someone will have to be in charge, however!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Your attempts at transforming another may actually serve to transform you, as well. This change is long overdue! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be feeling rather isolated as the week opens, but later on you'll figure out how to reconnect with those most important to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Take care that you do not make rules for yourself that you simply cannot keep. You must have options in order to thrive. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You're putting yourself and others in a kind of danger that, while not all that serious, may have far-reaching implications. Use caution.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Your ability to shake things up and make necessary changes with little warning can certainly work wonders. (March 6-March 20) – You don't like to see others going without, so why not do what you can to improve their chances? You'll surely play a significant role.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You don't want to charge into a new

symptomatic episodes, enhance quality of life, promote adaptive functioning in work/ school relationships, increase the likelihood of making healthy life choices and many other benefits (Shedler, 2010; Wampold, 2010). Imagine how much impact this could have on children who do not live in extreme environments.

Even if your child does not live under adverse conditions, you may find a time where some help could ease the situation. As a parent, we want to make childhood as joyful as possible, so if there is help available to enable them to lead happier, more productive lives, why not use it to their advantage? It’s time to remove the stigma associated with getting help and consider mental wellness as basic a right as food and shelter.

This home located at 4824 Abbott Ave. in Highland Park is listed for $2.995 million.

Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt worked with Gertz to turn the somewhat ordinary 1984 house into a spectacular masterpiece. It was his idea to conceal the house, almost completely, behind lush greenery. The two had collaborated before, and Vervoordt had a keen understanding of his client’s needs and expectations, and exactly what over-the-top ideas would work — like the foyer. Vervoordt turned what could have been a mundane entry area into a long gallery of lime-painted plaster walls adorned with bougainvillea.

Natural light pours through multiple skylights creating an almost greenhouse effect. This gallery separates the kitchen and master suite and offers a view of the garden at the far end, the moment you enter the house.

Rob Brinkly, formerly

of FDLUXE, wrote in the Architectural Digest January 2016 issue about this home, beautifully summing up the process of turning the three-bedroom, three-fulland-two-half-bath home into a showplace. “A comprehensive renovation elevated the structure in every way: ceiling heights, finishes, aura. Flemish

artisans came to apply naturally pigmented lime washes to the walls, and for the floors, Vervoordt trucked in old Carrara-marble slabs and timeworn wood parquet set in dramatic patterns.”

The master bathroom is another area where what might seem to be luxurious excess is really common sense.

Comfortable chairs, table lamps, chests and secretaries that are found in more formal rooms are also perfectly at home in any old world styled European bathroom. Gertz and Vervoordt created a master bathroom that you could linger in all day.

This is the sort of house where a celebrity would feel safe, tucked away from the paparazzi, yet still able to have discreet friends over for an al fresco dinner or a dip in the pool. If you’re ready to schedule access to this secret sanctuary call Nichols today — privacy like this is a rare find.

And beauty like this won’t last for long.

Balconies will have you looking up

Balconies are romantic, functional and private.

It’s the time of year for cookouts, pool parties or an ice-cold tea. The days are longer, and what better way to enjoy the outdoors than to stay at home and take a few steps out the door? Balconies are romantic, Stephan Sardone functional and private. Your balcony could YOUR be your key to sneak down to the hot tub without the kids knowing, as you can inBALCONY IS stall a staircase from the balcony to the AN EXTENSION back patio. Your choice!

OF YOUR OWN There is a lot you can do with your AREA. balcony, but the first, most important thing is to make sure the materials can withstand the elements. Waterproofing is vital when putting down the floors of your balcony. Also, make sure there is a way to drain the rain, meaning, give it a slight slope for positive drainage away from the house. Once you’ve done that, it gets easier. Remember, when you’re selecting what decking you’re going to use, make sure you’re thinking about how safe it will be when it’s wet.

Balconies also allow you to indulge in your own gardening hobby without the responsibility of a full garden. It can be a lookout spot during the kids’ pool parties. Meanwhile, it’s also a private escape for you, where nobody else can invade. With a glass of

wine or a cup of coffee, this is where you may want to reflect in the morning before the day or wind down before bed at night.

Have fun with the railing, but make sure before you choose something with gaps that you consider small children or pets.

Whether the railing is made of wood, metal or a tempered glass, make it right for you. If you have plants or vines, maybe choose something the plants can grow easily on, which creates a natural barrier of greenery. The taller the railing the more privacy, so think about how often you may walk outside in a towel.

Instead of buying balcony furniture, create a built-in bench or balcony seat along the railing. It saves a little space, adds seating and creates the perfect spot for that Sunday afternoon nap.

Consider building a balcony that can be accessed from multiple locations. For example, try connecting a master suite and an office.

This brings us to the next thing: door(s). French doors are popular as they create more of a wide open feel, opening up the entire room to the outside. You could install folding doors or sliding doors, depending on the look you’re going for or how much space you want to save.

Your balcony is an extension of your own area. Make it your floating getaway, and get creative with the design and how you plan to use it.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Dream Cafe opens new location

By Sara Newberry

When I was a new Dallasite, having just moved here from the suburbs, The Dream Cafe in the Quadrangle seemed like the ultimate upscale bohemian hangout.

It was one of the earliest restaurants of its kind in Dallas with not just vegetarian but vegan — vegan! — menu options. The patio opened out onto a rolling green lawn, lending even more of a hippie vibe to the place with kids running around as their moms chatted over organic oatmeal and green tea.

Flash forward nearly 30 years: There are now three Dream Cafes, and the clientele is less of the flowy skirt and crystals set than the yoga pants set. The food, however, has remained basically the same. That’s both a positive and a negative.

The famous Cloud Cakes, ricotta pancakes topped with Photo by Sara Newberry strawberries and sweetened The Texan Burger and the Dream Benedict at The Dream Cafe. whipped cream, are still on the menu and are still fluffy and just slightly sweet. The huge popovers and potatoes and topped with picante cream are available both by themselves and as a base sauce, were fine but were more like enchiladas for several dishes — they are stellar and, in my than tacos (and I’m not sure what makes them opinion, the best thing on the menu.

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

Okra more than okay

By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Whoever thought okra would have such a moment.

Chefs grill and roast the Southern staple — maligned for generations as slimy — and call it a “share plate” on their menus. Guests buy it and love it. Including those who grew up on slimy stewed okra and tomatoes, a dish which even bacon has a hard time redeeming.

Photo by Kevin Marple For most of us, fried okra, Cedar Grove Charred Okra. coated with cornmeal batter, has long been “the way” to unslime okra. Now comes grilling and roasting, the easiest, most delicious and sensible ways to cook the South’s plain stepsister of vegetables.

Cedar Grove Chef Taylor Kearney’s menu offers Charred Okra with yuzu salt and lemon.

It’s a great example of the new way to cook okra. His twist includes seasoning with yuzu salt, sea salt laced with the Asian citrus fruit called yuzu. Light yellow in color, yuzu salt is finely ground like powder. It tastes salty, citrusy and wonderful.

Cedar Grove Charred Okra 1/2 pound (15 to 18 pods) whole okra, rinsed and dried 1 tablespoon olive oil plus additional as needed 1 to 2 teaspoons yuzu salt or to taste 1 lemon cut in half Juice from 1 yuzu (Asian citrus fruit) Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to high heat.

Place okra in large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed, and yuzu salt. Toss to evenly coat the okra.

Dotty Griffith Place seasoned okra on grill just until the edges start to char. Remove to serving platter. Place cut surface of the lemon on grill and cook just until edges char. Use charred lemon as garnish for okra and to squeeze over charred okra as desired.

Just before serving, drizzle with fresh squeezed yuzu juice and/or juice from charred lemon plus a sprinkle of yuzu salt.

Makes 4 servings.

MOVIE TRAILER

‘Stranger Things’ is a romp through 1980s pop culture

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

If you plan on counting the homages to 1980s pop culture in the new Netflix series “Stranger Things,” you’ll quickly run out of fingers and toes. From Spielberg to Carpenter, this eight episode run thrusts everyone that remembers that decade right back into it.

“Stranger Things” isn’t just a nostalgic trip. It’s binge-watch-worthy pop culture of the highest order, even when it runs out of juice and veers more into science fiction than creative storytelling and character building. Even then, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer (who also directed six of the eight episodes) keep the action, suspense and creepiness at a high enough level to keep the viewer on alert.

The entirety of the show takes place in the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana in 1983. After a 10-hour Dungeons and Dragons marathon, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) is chased while pedaling home on his bicycle by an unseen creature and eventually disappears.

This sends the exceptionally small town into a tizzy as serious crimes

Netflix series "Stranger Things" is worth a summer binge. such as kidnapping are not a regular occurrence.

From there, “Stranger Things” follows four or five plot lines that all touch on different genres. The Hawkins police chief, Jim Hopper (David Harbour), investigates a conspiracy with a mysterious Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) at the center. The show goes heavy on the “E.T.” vibe while following Will’s trio of friends, Mike, Dustin and Lucas (Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin), as they hide Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), a girl with a limited

vocabulary but extraordinary super powers. There’s even some “Carrie” thrown in for good measure as Mike’s older sister, Nancy (Natalia Dyer), pines for the immature high school cool kid, Steve (Joe Keery).

There are many surprises as all of these character’s paths converge, but none as compelling or creepy as Will’s mother, Joyce (Winona Ryder).

She not only is dealing with an older son, Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), that thinks she may be losing her mind, she is getting phone calls with strange voices on the other end, random lights flashing on and off in

her house what may or may not be a demon from hell trying to appear in the walls of her home.

The greatest trick that “Stranger Things” pulls off is that none of its obvious influences are blatantly copied. If any of it could be accused of theft, it would be the music from Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. This synth heavy score is such a replica of John Carpenter’s scoring of his own films that it should push people to imdb.com to see if Carpenter himself is responsible for it.

The story never tangles itself up too much and doesn’t reach levels of “X-Files” paranoia, but it does peter out once all the secrets are revealed.

There’s also a feeling of inevitability and predictable plot developments, but style and overall substance makes it easy to overlook.

The impressive cast helps “Stranger Things” stay afloat during the lulls. The kids are fantastic as they are either unbelievably seasoned actors for their age or truly have been best pals for years. Their chemistry is that good and each of their roles are written with the perfect amount of childhood fears and bravery.

The standouts (other than

Matthew Modine’s unbelievably white hair) are Winona Ryder and David Harbour. Harbour has been a character actor on the rise with some impressive work in “Black Mass” and HBO’s “The Newsroom.”

In “Stranger Things,” he perfectly embodies the lonely, drunken, burned out cop who has suffered great personal loss.

If you’ve wondered “where has Winona Ryder been,” your question has been answered. Clearly, she was biding her time and preparing for a role that is now the finest acting she’s ever done. Ryder seems ready to fall apart at any moment, yet she keeps her cool, confidence and is fully believable as a tough as nails single mom.

“Stranger Things” is what “The X-Files” could have been had it known where it was going. This show clearly has a story arc with a fully fleshed out ending that manages to be satisfying and leave room for another season. The only problem that “Stranger Things” runs into is letting the cat out of the bag a bit too soon, thus making the last few episodes less impactful.

Emmy shows love for some, but as always, forgets others

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net Those who have written about television for much of their adult lives (guilty, your honor) have grown fond of nitpicking or more often savaging Emmy voters for their Ed Bark annual lists of prime-time nominees.

My grudge goes deeper. In 1989, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences initially got it right by nominating the CBS miniseries “Lonesome Dove” for 19 Emmys. But on the big night, all of the major awards went elsewhere, with ABC’s “War & Remembrance” winning for Outstanding Miniseries, while James Woods’ performance in “My Name Is Bill W” won over Robert Duvall (and fellow nominee Tommy Lee Jones for that matter) in the Outstanding Lead Actor category.

Duvall, as Texas Ranger Gus McCrae, arguably gave the best TV acting performance ever. And “Lonesome Dove” is right up there with “Roots” among all-time great TV miniseries.

Cripes, even the much-maligned Golden Globes people got it right that year, awarding both Duvall and “Lonesome Dove” before the Emmy voters screwed everything up.

A lot of time has passed since then. And this time around, the 68th annual Emmy nominations are notable for getting just about everything right amid a wealth of contenders from networks and “streaming” services that either didn’t exist or weren’t factors back in the days of “Lonesome Dove.”

For one, FX’s “The Americans” finally made the cut in the Best Drama Series category after three years of snubs. The two leads, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, also are first-time nominees. It helps, in all of these cases, to finally have “Mad Men” out of the mix. Expanding the Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series fields to seven likewise makes it easier on voters.

Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell of "The Americans."

The USA network drama series “Mr. Robot” also is a nominee in its first year of eligibility. And in the Best Comedy Series category, both ABC’s “black-ish” and Netflix’s freshman “Master of None” broke through for the first time. In their cases, it helped that “Parks & Recreation” has finished its run on NBC while FX’s “Louie” is on an extended hiatus. Both were nominated last year.

The Big Four commercial broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox — again came up mostly empty in Emmy’s major categories.

Only ABC, with perennial nominee “Modern Family” and the aforementioned “black-ish,” has any contenders among the 14 finalists for best drama and comedy series. The defending champs in these categories, both nominated again, are HBO’s

“Veep” and “Game of Thrones,” which led all programing with 23 Emmy nods in edging FX’s “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story” (22 nominations). The latter is a topheavy favorite to win the Emmy for Best Limited Series.

All of the “Lead Actor in a Drama Series” nominees are from the cable or streaming world, with Kevin Spacey of Netflix’s “House of Cards” hoping to win for the first time in nine tries. He probably won’t, because the favorite looks like Rami Malek of “Mr. Robot.”

Four of the six nominees in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series categories are from outside the broadcast network realm.

But at least ABC again is in the hunt with Viola Davis of “How to Get Away with Murder” while Taraji P. Henson again is nominated for Fox’s “Empire.” Davis is the defending Emmy champ.

ABC and Fox also are represented in the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category, with “black-ish’s” Anthony Anderson and Will Forte (Fox’s “The Last Man on Earth”) making the cut.

ABC has the lone broadcast network nominee for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Tracee Ellis Ross of “black-ish” is hoping to somehow defeat “Veep’s” Julia-Louis Dreyfus, who has won for four years in a row in this category.

So yes, that’s right. CBS and NBC have zero nominees in these six major categories. ABC, which will televise the annual ceremony (with host Jimmy Kimmel) on Sept. 18, has a total of five while Fox chips in with two and PBS has one (for the last season of “Downton Abbey”). Of the 38 total nominations, cable has 19 and the streaming services Netflix and Amazon have combined for 11. That’s dominance.

Alas, there’s no “make good” Emmy for “Lonesome Dove.”

That remains a sore spot. But based on this latest batch of well-chosen nominees, at least a scab is starting to form.

TRAVEL

Seven tips for eating out in foreign countries

By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com It’s hard enough to go out to a Thai restaurant in Dallas and order from a menu that is totally in the Thai language. You cannot make out anything from the strange symbolic letters.

Michael Wald In Moscow, the Cyrillic letters on the menu imposed an impossible challenge to convert to anything approaching understandable. My friend there got so frustrated he bounded from the table, headed to some nearby diners and literally

starting pointing at what he wanted for the waiter to take his order.

It’s not polite to ever do this, and this happened during the communist era. The restaurant had painted frescos on high ceilings, a white gloved wait-staff, tablecloths and musicians. In those days, the only people that could eat out at such a place were sure to be leaders of the Communist Party. My friend’s actions made me feel like crawling under the table and he probably narrowly escaped being arrested.

The menu was in Spanish, translated from Thai, during a recent visit to a Thai restaurant for lunch in Panama City. Even Panamanians have trouble with the menu. That’s what makes this situation fun. The wait-staff would translate

things that we pointed to into Spanish, but many of the words were for Thai foods that native Spanish speakers are not familiar with.

We ordered. The food was delicious.

Most of the time, if you don’t speak the language, you probably aren’t going to enjoy being invited to someone’s home to eat. Conversation can be challenging. A restaurant might be a better bet. So I decided to make some suggestions about eating out in countries where you don’t speak the language.

1. Where available, the Internet can provide some relief. Even where available, Internet connectivity around the world is iffy.

But it offers the possibility of using one of many translator apps on your smartphone to help communicate. That can be fun for some people. For others, frustrating. But no matter what, it’s tiring. And many of the translations are nothing short of hilarious.

2. Cafeterias are a good bet. You can see the food you order.

3. Another helpful tip is to go to a restaurant that displays pictures of the food on the menu or on the wall. Sometimes dishes themselves will be on display. Typically, in a bakery, coffee shop or supermarket you can see the food this way.

4. You can also stick with simple foods that don’t vary from one place to another, such as pizza, a popular dish everywhere in the world.

5. You can go to a fast food brand restaurant that you know — not really recommended if you want to immerse in the foreign culture you’re visiting.

6. You can seek out an American food restaurant. You’ll understand the menu, but you’ll miss out on the fun of exploring new foods.

7. Finally, you can eat in your hotel.

Hotels typically cater to a certain clientele. For example, some hotels have mostly European guests; some have mainly American guests. A hotel where mainly Americans stay will likely have an English menu. And it will be safer than going out when you cannot even speak enough to tell a taxi driver where you want to go.

Of course, if you are flexible, it doesn’t really matter what food you are served. You won’t starve; you’ll certainly find something you can eat, such as bread. Have fun with it.

The unexpected is what makes travel fun.

BUSINESS cont'd from page 1

Clampitt Paper has established a "Creative Center" for inspiration. locally. So we go to whole gambit.

Four years ago, we moved into wide format signage so now we are calling on sign shops.” They can even provide aluminum foil for signage, as evidenced by their large 75th anniversary logo on the front of the building, which is foil dressed with a top coat.

While the company still sells to printers and publishers, they have had to change with the times. “We work with more end users today like a Mary Kay, Fossil or Pier One,” Clampitt said.

“Those are some of our clients. So it is not just the commercial printer. We are working with companies as well.”

Continuing to tweak the core business, Clampitt developed an area of the warehouse called the Creative Center, a veritable museum of what can be done using paper today and a link to customers of the future.

Designed to be an area of creative inspiration, the center has examples of the most up-to-date information on the paper industry, design and technology. There is also a retail store at

the warehouse that sells thousands of different papers for individual use.

Clampitt has survived economic down swings, the closure of major printers in the area and a shift to the digital age, but continues to reinvent the way paper is sold and used.

“Print at one time was bottled up in agencies and marketing firms.

Nowadays, print could be coming out of someone’s apartment or house. So how does a company like mine get to those people and show them a paper, and educate them about paper?

“So the Creative Center was built as a ‘Field of Dreams’ approach,” Clampitt said. “‘Build it and they will come,’ meaning that let’s offer an environment conducive to people researching paper and research printing techniques and build a community. That is a way we have reinvented ourselves and offer a value to our customers that no one else was going to do. We zagged when everyone else was zigging.” And it has put Clampitt Paper in a position to reach another 75 years on the Dallas business scene.

also extend hate crime protections to law enforcement officers. Wilkison said that makes sense.

“When they enter their day of work, their night of work, to face the violent underbelly of Texas that most of us never have to see, they risk everything,” Wilkison said. “And if you’re after a police officer, because they’re a police officer, I guess that’s a hate crime.”

Cheryl Drazin from the Anti-Defamation League disagrees. “There is no evidence that prosecutors anywhere in the country, or Texas particularly, are failing to vigorously investigate and prosecute crimes against police,” Drazin said.

In May, Louisiana became the first state to extend hate crime protections to law enforcement. Similar bills have been proposed in several other states. Drazin said the Anti-Defamation League is not anti-police — the group works extensively with law enforcement, she said — it’s just that these so-called Blue Lives Matter laws are the wrong vehicle to protect police. She thinks they’ll actually make it harder for prosecutors to go after people who target cops.

“They’d have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the perpetrator attacked the officer and that that act was committed because the person was a police officer,” Drazin said. “That additional burden, that specific intent, would make prosecutions more difficult and not easier.”

“The first week of business they did $12,500, which if you think about it was pretty exciting,” Clampitt said.

“In addition to selling to printers and publishers, he sold industrial papers too so I am sure he sold butcher wrap, twine, things like that. But pretty much the business was focused against the commercial printer and publisher.

Don Clampitt committed to the family business after graduating from Highland Park High School and the University of New Mexico.

“I was graduating college and just got married and was going to move to Denver and work for a paper company because I really like what this paper business is all about,” Clampitt said. “But my mom had a stroke and my brother and dad asked if I’d come back to Clampitt and that is how it happened.” He has been with the company full time since 1979, and daughter Meredith is part of the company keeping the family legacy alive.

The company has more than 100 employees in Dallas and more than 250 statewide all adhering to a suit and tie dress policy, as per Max’s wishes.

While the company evolves under Clampitt’s watch, there are still the basics. “By definition, we are a wholesale paper merchant,” Clampitt said. “So we bring paper in from the manufacturer and we bring it in by railcar, truck load in big quantities. We basically warehouse it, and we have about 500,000 square feet we own within the state of Texas. We bring it in and we distribute it out everybody from Sir Speedy to Minutemen to big printers here

show love and care in Dallas BRYAN'S HOUSE

A place of compassion and hope for children impacted with HIV/AIDS or other serious medical conditions.

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 percentage amount actually reaches those in need?

Ninety-three percent of our funds go back into programming.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose? Q What are your critical needs now, be-

A A t Bryan's House, our vital mission

holds steady: Parents of children with special medical needs desperately need quality care for their children. They also require respite care and social services to cope with their associated social needs.

Our mission is to meet that trio of need.

We were founded at the peak of the HIV/ AIDS crisis to care for children suffering from that dreaded, often fatal infection.

Little Bryan Allen, whose mother contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion, was the inspiration for our name. In 1985, at only 8 months old, Bryan became one of the first Dallas area children to die from AIDS. Lydia, Bryan's mother, then made it her sole mission to open a center that would be a safe haven for other children like Bryan.

Q F amilies come to Bryan's House for an

array of medical conditions. What are some of them?

• Diabetes • HIV/AIDS • Neurological diseases and disorders (epilepsy, cerebral palsy, ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, autism, hydrocephalus) • Developmental delays and disorders (Down syndrome, seizure disorders, expressive language disorders, learning disabilities) • Those with catheters and feeding tubes • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) • Heart Disease • Cancer post-treatment after chemotherapy

A

Q H ow many clients are served each year?

A Bryan's House serves 1,200 clients annually.

sides money donations?

We are in need of community volunteers who will help us raise awareness about all of the great work being done at Bryan's House — be our advocates. We need help connecting with new companies, medical professionals and other organizations that we can partner with.

A

QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are

available?

Our new Heroes classrooms, serving infants 18 months and under, needs individuals who will help rock babies.

A

QW hat do you think is the most import-

ant thing you do for the community?

We provide services that fill a gap in our community by serving a unique population. Bryan's House is the only organization in the area serving at-risk families with children with special health needs, especially those impacted by HIV/AIDS.

A

QW hat is rewarding about your job?

A S eeing those children being taken care of

and the relief we are able to provide for parents. They leave Bryan's House knowing they do not have to worry about their child's medical, educational and developmental needs.

Q S uppose your nonprofit received a
