This exhibition celebrates the Meadows’ acquisition of "L’homme poisson" — the first painting by Dalí to enter the collection of a Texas museum — and presents a renewed look at this early masterpiece within the artist’s oeuvre of surrealism.

UNIVERSITY PARK
Multi-alarm fire destroys landmark restaurant By David Sedman, Olivia Nguyen and Jacquelyn Elias/The Daily Campus On Friday afternoon, Aug. 12, fire broke out at a local burger mecca familiar to the community. The fire appeared to originate in a grease trap that billowed dark smoke, leading to a multi-alarm fire at the Goff’s Hamburger restaurant (right) across the street from the SMU campus at the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and McFarlin Boulevard. Smoke swept through the neighborhood as firefighters from University Park, Highland Park and Dallas tried to douse the flames, and at around 2 p.m., flames were visible from the south window of the building. Businesses were evacuated along the shopping center as the firefighters tried to contain the
fire to the corner business. Shortly after 8 p.m., firefighters continued to fight flames in the two-and-a-half story burger house amidst strong winds and heavy rain. The City of University Park reported having the fire under control at around 7 p.m. Friday evening. Goff’s Hamburgers’ roof collapsed and the building faces major internal and external damages with the top story nearly destroyed. No injuries were reported, according to the Highland Park Department of Public Safety. After 9 p.m. on Friday night, bulldozers began to destruct the building, and firefighters continued to extinguish flames. Workers continued throughout the night, and only

closed such, as La Bichette and TaylorMark and a protective fence remains around the affected areas. The 65-year-old independent restaurant, which opened in 1950, moved to its current location in 2004 from its original location at Lovers Lane near the tollway.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
Often, it doesn’t pay to be positive By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com I understand that the tourism bureau has just changed their slogan to “Welcome to Rio. Now stick ‘em up!” … How come the swimming and diving water is so green and David Mullen the women’s field hockey turf is so blue? … The space on the corner of Oak Lawn Avenue and Lemmon Avenue has finally opened as a Verizon Store. Which must mean the Verizon store two blocks away on Oak Lawn Avenue and Rawlings Avenue is closing. At least it is not another CVS Pharmacy. Why can’t we have a real bar at Oak Lawn and Lemmon Avenues? One of the busiest intersections in Dallas and we are relegated to bad chains or ethnic cuisine restaurants with limited bar space … The parking area on McKinney Avenue in front of The Quarter Bar is soon to be a patio, a little birdie told me. How did that get pushed through the city? … Sometimes, the best laid plans just lay an egg. I have had these Radio Shack (still open and alive on Lemmon Avenue) security alarm batteries (they last about six years) in my trunk for weeks with the intention of being an eco guy (I did go to Berkeley) and turning them in to the Dallas County hazardous waste recycling center at 11234 Plano Road. I could have
buried them somewhere, but my lovely and talented green writer for Katy Trail Weekly, Naima Montacre would have killed me, probably with toxic waste or maybe by suffocation with a plastic bag. Anyway, I never had kids, so no direct benefit from school taxes. My car lists because of all of the pot holes I have hit in Dallas through the years, which is why I usually have a “Pothole of the Week” feature, which is a joke no one gets. “There is a pothole on Jefferson Street so big that you could build Monticello in it.” That sort of thing. My street has been under repair for more than four months and for no apparent reason. I figured I better get something out of my tax dollars after 27 years of home ownership and decades of outrageous tax payments. So I went to the Dallas County hazardous waste recycling center website and it stated that I could not only bring in my batteries, but my used paint cans as well. “Whoopee!” I have had about 10 old cans of paint sitting in my garage for 17 years, so now is the time to unload them. So I lined my trunk with the Dallas Morning News — carefully placing the cans on the face of a certain columnist (not Robert Wilonski, the best writer in Dallas) — and off I went. Once at the site, you are not allowed to leave your car and must declare your items and sign some paperwork. What could be easier? I left and headed toward the Schlotzsky’s on Forest Avenue. I am a bit tardy on my schedule and I get a drive-thru
order. “That will be $5.27 at the window.” Cool. I have that. I get to the window and I cannot reach the window. It is built for Hummers, SST’s, Sherman tanks and those vehicles that everyone seems to drive in Dallas and park in compact spots. I drive a Hybrid “Speck,” as I call it. And I have short arms to boot. If I was a foot taller I would be in the NBA. As a fast food drive-thru aficionado (I can reach the window at every other place), I recalled the time that a friend from Cal punched Jack once in the Jack in the Box drive-thru in 1978, but that was for being late with his order of tacos. Anyway, I get a Schlotzsky’s Original and head to the office with great pride for doing my eco duty. I secure the trunk — which means pull the curtain across the area below the fifth door — only to see that the paint was gone but the two batteries were still in the trunk. Why me? Why me? Why me? … While there is not much to watch on TV this summer, check out “Ballers” and “Late Last Week with John Oliver” on HBO, reruns of the “$25,000 Pyramid” on Game Show Network (just to see how bad it was) or “The Jack Benny Show” on Jewish Life Network just to see how good it was … Or there is always the “Price is Right” on CBS in the morning when president Barack Obama is not interrupting it with a speech … Bye-bye John McLaughlin, who died on Tuesday at 89. My Sunday mornings will never be the same.

MULL IT OVER
NFL ready to ‘play in space?’
By David Mullen
Photo courtesy of ESPN
John Saunders 1955-2016. his sudden death, the cause of which at press time has yet to be announced. Saunders suffered from depression — a fact that was publically known — so speculation on his death is beginning to go down different paths. I only met Saunders once, and we had a lively discussion after game three of the 1999 Stanley Cup finals in Buffalo when the Dallas Stars played the Sabers. He was intense and introspective, much different from Steve Levy and Barry Melrose that night, who were more interested in heading to Chippewa Street. Saunders and I discussed the future of ESPN, with high profile personalities defecting and competition increasing. It was a conversation I will never forget, much like the provocative parting shots he provided on ESPN’s “Sports Reporters.” He will be missed. *** I knew my article on allowing Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and eventually Alex Rodriguez entrance into the hallowed halls of Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame would garner a lot of negative opinion; and it did. I got more flak than praise. Reader Greg Oldman was one who disagreed with me. He wrote: “I'm 62, so I've seen baseball and sports, in general, go downhill. I know morally all humans are flawed — it’s our nature — and athletes (our heroes) are human too. We all like to think they're so great we give them an elevated status that borders on irrational. In the past I did as well, but
I can no longer justify condoning their behavior on and off the field, when it comes to breaking the rules of the games and laws of our community. We grew up knowing there's a price to pay for breaking the rules. I'm no saint and did my share of rule and law breaking, and I did pay the price by law. I learned from it as I'm sure most of the athletes you mentioned and others have learned. Part of the learning is also accepting the consequences that come from getting caught. What good would it do to allow them to be inducted if the stats used were achieved through the use of PED's? I feel it would be a disservice to the players who did it the right way and were inducted accordingly.” Oldman is right. I can’t disagree with him. My frustration at throwing in the towel on the two alleged and one confirmed PED players is baseball knew they used and then slammed the barn door after the horses got away. Hall of Fame manager Tony LaRussa wrote noted PED users like Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire into his lineup every day. The writers that vote for player’s inclusion into the Hall of Fame knew that something was wrong and didn’t write about it until much later. They even scoffed at Canseco’s book where he named users. Baseball now seems to have an effective testing program in place, so this issue should not surface again. It is the hypocrisy that has made me conclude that we must move on.

david@katytrailweekly.com After one week of preseason football, it has become increasing clear how irrelevant the games are. Dallas Cowboys fans — and seemingly beat writers — are ready to anoint rookie backup quarterback Dak Prescott as the next Roger Staubach. On Saturday, he was 10 of 12 for 139 yards and two touchdowns, and had two drops. Impressive stats until you put it in perspective — this was the first game of the meaningless preseason. Starter Tony Romo may not play again in game two. Game three gives the most indication of the team’s future, but players and coaches alike are hesitant to go all out for fear of injury. Teams don’t show other teams anything in game four. I hope that we can get down to two preseason games and 18 regular season games that have actual value. Almost everything learned in the preseason is from practice and repetition in training camp. *** I heard a funny quote from Carolina Panthers second year linebacker Shaq Thompson about what he gets out of training camp. Thompson said “I just work on my ‘formation re-cog-nization.’ I like playing in space.” I know NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would love to put a team in London or Mexico City, but I had no idea he might be looking at the International Space Station or the moon as possible expansion sites. When that happens, Thompson will be ready. *** One other Cowboys note. The NFL released details of the top selling jersey of 2016. Tom Brady? Aaron Rodgers? J.J. Watt? What? The top selling jersey worldwide is that of Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott. Dallas fans wear their loyalty on their sleeves, and apparently on their backs. *** The death on Aug. 10 of ESPN broadcaster John Saunders at 61 was a shock to the sports broadcasting world. He seemed healthy and vibrant up until

Children’s Charities (DMS/DCC) is a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation formed in 1977 when a group of Dallas businessmen decided to host a holiday party. During its 40 years of community service, DMS/ DCC has evolved a threefold mission — celebrate life, give something back and inspire the same spirit in others.

A DCC programs provide funding and
other support to more than 50 agencies and more than 120,000 low income and at-risk children in the Dallas/Fort Worth area each year.

You don’t have to be a jazz aficionado to enjoy the sounds of Kenny G. On the other hand, if you want to get more into jazz, or want to convert your friends, Kenny G’s music is an ideal place to start. It’s hard to believe that the young man who had fans mesmerized in the mid-80s is now 60 years young! He was only a kid when his name became forever linked to current jazz. Kenny is proud to tell folks that he still plays the first saxophone that he got while in high school. Kenny’s current national tour will play Dallas at the Winspear Opera House on Tuesday, August 30 at 8 p.m. It’s sounding like the Winspear Opera House will be packed. The talented saxophonist was born Kenneth Bruce Gorelick in Seattle in 1956. Kenny’s career goes back almost three decades filled with 23 albums.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Shady’s offers bright burgers
By Sara Newberry
here they are just as worthy of attention. The Club Shady, a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, cheddar and avocado, was possibly the best chicken sandwich I’ve had. The chicken was juicy and seasoned, the bacon crisp (and there was tons of it), and the tomato was ripe and flavorful. Popeye’s Stash, a spinach salad topped with strawberries and candied walnuts, was generous, with crisp greens and ripe berries. (I ordered mine to go, and unfortunately, got home without any salad dressing, but I’ll try

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Thai on some Som Tum By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Several signature dishes of Thai cuisine are without doubt among the world’s most refreshing on hot sticky days. After all, when it comes to weather, who knows hot and sticky better than Thailand? Maybe Dallas; we definitely know hot and sticky too. Since we aren’t yet at the end of this hot and sticky Texas summer, I can’t think of any dish that’s cooler than Som Tum, green papaya slaw. Pakpao Thai’s version is the classic combination of sweet-sour-salty-spicy that awakens flagging appetites when it’s too hot to eat, much less to cook. Shredded green (unripe) papaya combines with Chinese long (or green) beans and other Thai classics like hot chilies and peanuts to make slaw with a distinctive Southeast Asian flavor profile. Unlike the soft, sweet orange flesh of a ripe papaya, green papaya is white, almost translucent. It is crisp and neutral in taste. That makes it a great base for the accents of Som Tum, such as garlic, chilies and nam pla (Southeast Asian fish sauce). You’ll need a papaya shredder — cheese

Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad). grater, mandolin or a food processor — to shred or julienne the papaya.
Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad) You’ll probably have to seek out an Asian grocery to find green papaya. If you aren’t motivated to go for the green papaya, substitute equal parts shredded white cabbage, carrot and green apple for a balance of crunch, sweetness and sourness. Slightly more exotic than cabbage but more accessible than green papaya: jícama and seeded cucumber. Whatever you choose, you’ll need 4 to 6 cups of shredded or julienned vegetables. 1 small to medium green (unripe) papaya, peeled 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, peeled 1 tablespoon roasted peanuts,
coarsely chopped, plus additional as desired for garnish 2 fresh bird chillis or serranos, sliced 1/2 teaspoon shaved palm sugar or light brown sugar 1 tablespoon dried shrimp (optional) 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 to 2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla), to taste 1/2 pound Chinese long beans or fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch lengths (optional) 6 cherry tomatoes, halved 1 tablespoon shredded red cabbage for garnish Lettuce leaves for serving (optional) Cut peeled papaya in half and scoop out white seeds and pith. Coarsely grate or shred the papaya using a papaya shredder, hand grater, mandolin or food processor to yield 4 to 6 cups. In a food processor or using mortar and pestle, process or pound garlic, peanuts, chillis, sugar and shrimp (if using) into a paste. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in lime juice and fish sauce. Use a spoon (or the mortar and pestle) to lightly crush beans (if using) and tomatoes. Add crushed beans and tomatoes to dressing in bowl and toss lightly to coat. Add shredded papaya and toss to evenly coat all ingredients. Taste for seasoning. Flavor should be bright with a perfect balance of salty, spicy, sour and sweet. Mound in a bowl (lined with bitter greens or lettuce if desired). Sprinkle with coarsely chopped peanuts, top with red cabbage and serve. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

consumption food in a desert. Chile uses more irrigated water than California to grow their avocados — using about 97 gallons to grow a pound of avocados. Chile’s growing season is in our winter, which helps to provide us with yearround avocado access — think Super Bowl guacamole. Eightyfive percent of the avocados eaten year round in the U.S. are from Chile and Mexico. And Mexico has its own issues surrounding their “green gold.” Avocados have even been termed the new blood diamonds in response to the control, extortion, murders and corruption by the Mexican cartel. Cartels charge farmers per kilogram of avocados sold. Yikes, I’m regretting the blood guacamole I ate the other day. But maybe at least it’s organic? Choosing organic
avocados isn’t as important to your body as it is to the environment. Fruits and vegetables with peels tend to have lower amounts of pesticide and insecticide residue in the edible portions than fruits in which you eat the light skins. This, however, doesn’t translate to the environment. Pesticides and insecticides are still applied and transmitted to the soil, effecting water quality and wildlife ecology. Buy organic avocados. They aren’t much more expensive. Beyond the water consumption and chemicals used to grow avocados, it’s important to consider the space needed to supply our fair fried avocados and avocado artisan sandwiches. In Chile in 1993, there were around 9,000 acres planted with avocados and today there are around 71,000
acres, according to an article in civileats.com. Many avocado farms are destroying native habitats to make room for more avocado trees. The “it” food right now is avocados, but not far behind are things like acai berries and pomegranates. Acai berries are plentiful in the Amazon rainforest and much is harvested from the wild. The increase in demand for our acai bowls, smoothies and drinks will put pressure on this wild resource. Pomegranates are still a seasonally available fruit at an expensive price. Production of pomegranates has increased substantially in the last decade around the world, and as the demand for pomegranate juice, tea and other products increases this forces an increase in pressure on the environment.
A quick Google search finds thousands of articles on these “superfoods,” packed with nutritional goodness being fantastic for our bodies. Make use of the availability of these superfoods and add them to your diet, but keep it in moderation. And avoid the waste, which is incredibly hard for avocados. It’s a sought after skill to buy the properly ripe avocado that will reach peak ripeness at the time you need it for your meal. Any minute too late, and boom — the avocado is brown. Not to mention how many of the avocados at the store go bad. Enjoy your green gold, but treat it like gold, even if its current price is less than a dollar.

Chrysanthemums need to be planted late August to mid-September. on high alert for chinch bugs in St. Augustine lawns. These frequent pests will appear near paved surfaces and other hot spots in the yard and will spread if not addressed. In your garden, watch for iron deficiency in susceptible ornamental plants, which will appear as yellowed leaves with darker green veins. This is aggravated by the hot, dry weather and should be treated with chelated iron if needed. Avoid
letting the iron make contact with hard surfaces since it can stain. Drench affected plants, while also keeping young vegetable plants adequately watered, shading any new plants from the hot, mid-day and afternoon sun. Each month, Dave Forehand, the Dallas Arboretum’s VP of gardens will help you navigate what to prune, what to prepare, and what to plant in your green space.

handcrafted in 1740 in Cremona, Italy, an ancient town known worldwide for its superior violin makers. I made the decision to allow Bein & Fushi to list my violin for sale because of their reputation for excellence and dedication to preserving my prestigious violin until the right buyer comes along. Like a famous painting, this particular violin will continue to increase in value over the years.” In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Guarnerius family, along with the Stradivari and Amati families, brought the art of violin making to its peak in Cremona. The masterful violins are famously known for their handsome wood, signature sound and powerful depth and range. Although Stroud performed with her rare violin at Julliard, she was advised to leave her violin in a vault until she returned from performing with a traveling
string quartet as part of the United Service Organizations, known commonly as the USO. Calling themselves the "Symphony of Strings," the group performed for soldiers injured during World War II. They regularly played approximately 10 to 12 shows a day in area hospitals. “We wore beautiful evening gowns during our performances at the hospitals, bringing a taste of elegance and optimism to a sorrowful situation,” said Stroud. “It wasn’t always easy to be upbeat with the constant reminders of war, pain and loss surrounding us, but I felt like the music we played disrupted the chaos in a positive way.” Stroud returned to Julliard for a brief stint before transferring to Southern Methodist University where she would later meet her husband. In 1949, she married and began work with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Gloria "Dode" Stroud resides at Edgemere today. Although Stroud has been retired from the DSO for nearly 25 years, her beloved musical memories adorn her apartment walls at Edgemere retirement community. Stroud passionately shares her love of music with others, and the residents are eager to hear about the future of her rare violin. “Gloria Stroud’s accomplished career as a violinist continues to inspire the staff and residents at Edgemere,” John Falldine, managing director of Edgemere, said.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see many individuals choosing to opt out of something that was, only recently, of extreme importance. The reasons, though myriad and diverse, are all likely to point to one thing: a lack of resolve. This, in itself, is not necessarily a bad thing; indeed, such a lack can be the by-product of sense and caution, or the sudden awareness that one is unsuited or unprepared for a given course of action. On the other hand, there are cases where a lack of resolve can result from disinterest, disengagement or — worst of all — fear. If fear is indeed the controlling emotion, one must take the time to plumb its depths to come to some understanding of its root causes. Fear left unexamined can surely wreak havoc in one's life — both professionally and personally. Love, in all its forms, comes to the fore. Those who find themselves in some kind of illicit arrangement must take the time to examine its effect on other aspects of daily life. If the toll is too great, changes must be made — and there is time to make them before it is too late! LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may have to take the long way home, but once you get there, you can begin doing things to improve your situation dramatically. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may raise some eyebrows with your behavior. Soon you'll find it necessary to explain what is going on — to family, at least.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You'll want to accompany someone on a journey, but don't go empty-handed! You can provide assistance only if you're well equipped. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Once you see where you are going, you can get there in record time. Obstacles should be few and far between. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You are surrounded by reminders of a situation that seemed far more pleasant than any you are currently dealing with. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You can grow a great deal, but only if accompanied by someone who knows you better than you know yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You'll want to review certain plans to be sure that they are in sync with someone else's before setting them in motion. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You're not afraid of repeating yourself, and you may have the chance to enjoy a past triumph all over again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) In this time of need, surround yourself with those who can support you and contribute to lower stress levels across the board. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You're eager to see yourself reunited with someone
who gets you fired up about a great many things. Travel is in the picture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You'll want to assess your progress every step of the way, but you needn't stop in your tracks to do it. Maintain forward motion. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You have every reason to reach out to someone who hasn't been in the picture for some time. Explanations should come easily. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You've been taking a narrow view of things, and you can surely afford to broaden your perspective a great deal. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may find yourself fearing something you could easily confront just a week ago. What has changed? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may have to ask yourself a few difficult questions. The answers aren't likely to please you at first. (March 6-March 20) – Your reaction to a certain chain of events will be misunderstood by some, but all will make sense as the week comes to a close. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You're following in another's footsteps even though you may not know it. You can learn much, and

• Develop multiple versions of important questions to ensure complete responses and details are obtained Implementing results of investigations. At the conclusion of the investigation, the employer must take appropriate action based on the findings. Again, it is key to document the findings and the appropriate action determined. Further, consistency is key. Treating similar situations markedly different will ultimately present significant problems. If serious wrongdoing occurred, quick action in carrying out a no-tolerance policy may protect the employer from legal liability and employees from potential harm. Finally, after implementing the proper remedial action, do not simply drop the process. Follow-up is important to the employees and to ensure a systemic issue does not exist. During follow-up, for example, employers may find training is appropriate to resolve issues existing company-wide. Confidential, prompt, thorough, documented and fair remedial action are the key terms for resolving workplace complaints. As always, the above is not exhaustive and consulting with experienced counsel may be warranted. Gregory M. Clift is a business and employment litigation partner with Clouse Dunn LLP in Dallas.

THEATER
Hillcrest distinguished alumna flashes ‘Salty Shakespeare’ in L.A. By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
You’re in an elevator. Passengers suddenly burst into theatrics, emoting lines like Hamlet’s “To be or not to be. That is the question.” Welcome to “Salty Shakespeare,” a flash mob co-created by former Dallasite and Hillcrest High School distinguished alumna Nancy Yontz, ‘61, who would later become Nancy Linehan Charles. All over L.A. and all over the top, “Salty Shakespeare” is bringing on the LOLs with the unexpected, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” in the aisle at Ralph’s Market. According to the artistic director, Charles said the flash mob’s mantra is, “Erupting. Interrupting. Disturbing the peace.” According to Charles, “Salty Shakespeare” is her proudest accomplishment. Actors pop up in unlikely venues, like elevators, farmers’ markets, malls and all over the place. You might hear lines from Shakespeare on boardwalks, in jails and on the beach. Charles explained, “The group is dedicated to making Shakespeare accessible to people less likely to pay money for access.” The flash mob has been covered by most L.A. media and NPR. Not only is Charles the voice behind Salty, she’s been performing roles in television, film and theater, directing and writing for more than 35 years. As a character actress, she’s
been seen in such television favorites as “Law & Order,” “The Practice” and “West Wing.” Charles treasured working with the late director Mike Nichols on “Charlie Wilson’s War.” She earned an Ovation Award for Best Featured Performance by an Actress
Agnich and Charles Zelazny are still her precious friends. “I’ve known these people longer than I’ve known almost anyone. They all contributed money to the founding of 'Salty Shakespeare.' They’ve got my back.” She appreciates the solid education she received at Hillcrest from
CHARLES SAID THAT HER GREATEST PASSIONS ARE: “MY KIDS, ACTING AND SHAKESPEARE. I LOVE ACTING. I ALWAYS SAY, IF I DIED TODAY, I’VE DONE WITH MY LIFE EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO DO. AND ACTING IS THE FOUNDATIONAL STONE OF THAT. IT HAS ALLOWED ME TO PLAY EVERY DAY.” and Featured Performance by the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards in 2003 for “Toys in the Attic.” She received the L.A. Drama Critics Circle Award for Lead Performance in 1994 for “The Visit.” Backing up, Charles grew up in Dallas from elementary school age and up — after a move from her native Washington, D.C. She said that, while taking beginning acting classes at the Dallas Theater Center, she was wandering the Kalita Humphreys halls when she found a rehearsal for “Hamlet,” and her future was set in motion. “That was the moment I fell in love with acting and with Shakespeare,” she said. The distinguished alum said she felt honored and surprised to be given the Hillcrest recognition. She said that her Hillcrest chums Betsy Bock, Tom Dunning, Dick

According to the actress, she and her high school friends growing up in the 1950s lived in sort of an insulated environment, without the diversity afforded to today’s kids. The multi-faceted actress earned a BA in English literature from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga. and received a master’s degree in theatre from Wayne State University in Detroit. Charles said that her greatest passions are: “My kids, acting and Shakespeare. I love acting. I always say, if I died today, I’ve done with my life exactly what I wanted to do. And acting is the foundational stone of that. It has allowed me to play every day.” The actress lives in Santa
TRAVEL
Are you a trained conversationalist?

By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com Do you like striking up a conversation with a total stranger? Maybe you like people watching. In either Michael Wald case, you should consider a trip on America’s trains. It’s a great way to meet and observe fascinating people while seeing a lot of scenery. America’s trains are not as fast as Japan’s and not as luxurious as the Orient Express, but they offer a unique charm. They usually have quiet cars where people aren’t supposed to talk loudly, so work or sleep comes easier. There are snack bars and some have white tablecloth dining rooms with white-gloved waiters. Amtrak could be extended to go more places, but there is no way you could ride the entire system as it is today. Many a novel is centered on the rails. Stories about runaways, crime, intrigue and love. Consider making your own memories on the train. At least along the East Coast and especially during “rush hour” — which usually lasts several hours — finding a seat can be difficult. You will probably be forced to sit next to a stranger at least until the train empties a bit when you can spread out. But this has a lot of exciting possibilities. Single? Pick someone you’d like to know better. Tired? Pick someone who is focused on work. Many foreigners favor the trains. On a long distance train ride, you’re bound to run into folks from other parts of the world. You can learn a lot and make new friends. The forced together time can even form the basis for a good romance, and many have started on the trains, both in story and reality. As you ride through green landscapes and blighted urban centers, perhaps a little something by Mark Twain will help the clickety-clack of the railcar on the tracks lull you into another time and place. You can avoid the expense of a hotel room if you’re traveling overnight as many trains today have cabins with beds. Of course, we’d all like faster trains in the
future, but taking advantage of a slow ride allows you a better opportunity to do some excellent photography right from the train window. The train staff and conductors have tons of great stories they’ll gladly share about some of the crazy things passengers have done or places they’ve been. Just ask. The U.S. coasts are the densest part of the rail system. Many commuters come from as far away as Baltimore to work in New York City, for example. They take advantage of cheaper housing “in the country” and a work schedule bookended by fixed train schedules for time to read the newspaper or their favorite novel, watch a movie or catch up with the day’s spreadsheets and reports on the way home. The trains of today mostly have Internet connectivity, and AC inputs to charge your devices. Many riders along the congested East Coast have their noses buried in laptops. At the train stations you hear world languages, and it’s easy to strike up a conversation. A smile and a “Where you headed?” can lead to hours of entertainment. Penn Station and Grand Central Station in New York City have a buzz and excitement to them. Both are mini-cities with almost any sort of retail you might want. Grand Central has a food court where you can sample foods from around the world. Penn Station’s modern, clean, air-conditioned Amtrak waiting area is filled with French speakers as trains leave regularly for Quebec. You’re also likely to see geriatric tour groups headed out with huge suitcases (way too big for an airplane) for a month’s vacation. Alongside them, you might find immigrants headed to meet their sponsors somewhere in the country mixed in with Europeans and Asians visiting the U.S. during their two week vacations. Whatever you want, you can probably find it on the rails. Consider making a train ride part of your next vacation.

MOVIE TRAILER
Come ‘Hell or High Water,’ it's the best movie this year
By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
There’s a lot of populist boogeymen in the news today, ranging from “evil” corporations to “scary” foreigners. But if there is one straw man that most everyone can agree upon, it’s predatory banks and the effect it has on entire communities. That is exactly who brothers Toby and Tanner Howard (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) target in “Hell or High Water,” a modern-day bank robber Western. This West Texas tale skillfully combines several genres and creates a sure to be crowd pleasing thriller that is as exciting as it is unexpectedly funny. The opening salvo, which includes a shot of graffiti reading “3 tours in Iraq but no bailout for people like us,” thrusts us right into Toby and Tanner’s scheme as they rob a bank when it opens. They quickly show their lack of experience, which is hilariously pointed out by bank clerk Elsie (brilliant character actress Dale Dickey). Toby and Tanner are quickly off to another bank, and it becomes obvious that this duo has a clear goal in mind. This is noted by soon to retire Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges), who is sent to investigate this thoughtto-be small time scheme. Hamilton is joined by his partner, Alberto Parker (Gil Birmingham), whose Comanche-Mexican heritage is something that Hamilton repeatedly and consistently mocks in uncomfortably delicious ways. The plot unfurls at a perfect pace with nearly every character’s back story and motivations coming to light in very real ways. From brothers to partners to estranged

Ben Foster and Chris Pine (above left) and Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham star in ”Hell or High Water.” fathers, there is more depth, development and relationship building contained in 10 minutes of this movie than most movies could hope to have in their entirety. With writing like this (from Taylor Sheridan, writer of “Sicario”), it’s borderline impossible for this skilled of a cast to fail, and “Hell or High Water” may be the career highlight for everyone involved. Chris Pine is at a level that he’s never come close to approaching. He absolutely nails this portrayal of a quiet Texas loner who is fully aware that he’s in a morally precarious situation. His back is against the wall, and Pine’s anguish over doing what he knows is wrong is easily readable at every moment. It would be lazy for Sheridan and Ben Foster to treat Tanner Howard like a crazed redneck that is hell-bent on law breakin’. Sure, Foster is brash, but he stays grounded
and never becomes a cartoonish Southerner. This is the cocky, yet understated type of performance that Best Supporting Actor awards come of, and one hopes, Foster is remembered for it in three or four months. This may be hard to believe, but Jeff Bridges may have reached a new career high. This Texas Ranger is a mix of his boozy country singer from “Crazy Heart” and brave cowboy from “True Grit.” His drawl is so fantastic, so believable, that it is almost like he’s created some form of high art that can only be described as “Texspearean.” In short, a Best Actor Oscar nomination should be in the cards for Bridges. Bridges, Pine, and Foster are working with what, barring a major upset, will be a Best Original Screenplay nominee in Taylor Sheridan and a Best Director nominee in David Mackenzie. Sheridan’s “Sicario” screenplay was
criminally overlooked, but there is no possible way to avoid this work of brilliance. Every element you could want in a movie is there, and Mackenzie puts them on screen with subtlety, simplicity, and ease. This is a director and writer tour de force that should not be ignored and begs for these two to team up again. Finally, the main character of “Hell or High Water” is Texas. All the charm, the ugliness, the sass, and the beauty of the state is on display in an unflinching and unapologetic way. This is how Texans sound, how they think, and how most live their lives, and even the bank robbers don’t apologize for doing what they need to in order to survive. “Hell or High Water” is a modern classic and when the dust settles and that quiet, final scene ends, it’s hard to not immediately want to spend another two hours with all of these characters.
CLASSIC CINEMA
Time to go back to school, Hollywood style
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com Since it is back-to-school time, what better way to get in the mood than to rent, download or stream one man’s opinion of the best high school and college movies during the last 43 years? In their own right, all have some classic scenes, and in many cases, were career launching. These films are listed in chronological order and not ranked from best to worst. So put on your letter jacket, grab a Nehi grape soda and enjoy.
“American Graffiti”
(1973) This George Lucas classic introduced moviegoers to Richard Dreyfuss before “Jaws,” Ron Howard (shedding his Opie stereotype) and Cindy Williams before “Laverne & Shirley,” Harrison Ford before “Indiana Jones,” Mackenzie Phillips before “One Day at a Time” and Suzanne Somers before “Three’s Company” and ads for ThighMaster. Plus, what is a ’50s retro film without cameos of great cars, malt shops and Wolfman Jack?
“Animal House”
(1978) When Dean Wormer said, “Here are your grade point averages … Mr. Dorfman? 0.2 ... Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son ... Mr. Blutarsky ... zero ... point ... zero,” it made cinematic history. He also introduced “double secret probation” into the lexicon. As John Belushi, who brilliantly portrayed Blutarsky, said, “Seven years of college down the drain.”
“Grease” (1978) Where else can you cast actors in their late 20s and early 30s (Stockard Channing was 33 when she played Rizzo) than at Rydell High? Aussie Olivia Newton-John was in her singing prime and John Travolta fought through great tunes like “Greased Lightening” and “Sandy.” “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” (1982) Everyone knew a Jeff Spicoli
(Sean Penn) in high school. For that matter, everyone knew a Mr. Hand (Ray Walston). The movie introduced Phoebe Cates, Forest Whitaker, Judge Reinhold and Nicolas Cage — among others — to the silver screen.
“Risky Business” (1983) Launched
Tom Cruise’s career and helped Bob Seger sell a few records as well. “Who’s the U-Boat commander?” may be the funniest line in the movie. Made parents think twice about taking a vacation without their high school senior.
“Revenge of the Nerds” (1984)
The nerds and their fraternity Lambda
From top to bottom: The girls of “Pitch Perfect;” Ben Stein looking for “Bueller, Bueller;” Reese Whiterspoon in “Legally Blonde;” “Grease” is the word; Rodney Dangerfield goes “Back to School;” the smart-looking trio from “Clueless;” John Belushi as Bluto in “Animal House.”
Lambda Lambda certainly got revenge against the pretty boys of Alpha Beta and the pretty girls of Pi Delta Pi.
“Breakfast Club” (1985) One of
John Hughes movies that featured one or more of the “Brat Pack,” actors Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and others who rued the day of Saturday school detention.

breakthrough role for the beautiful Courtney Thorne-Smith.
“Stand and Deliver” (1988) A gritty film starring Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips introducing suburbia to what is was like to teach and attend an inner-city school.
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”
“Dead Poets Society” (1989) Made everyone completely change their thoughts about the acting ability of Robin Williams. “Mrs. Doubtfire” came out four years later.
“Back to School” (1986) “What’s a
“Clueless” (1995) The teenage girls of Beverly Hills, led by Cher (Alicia Silverstone), make shoes and skirts a priority over study in a great screen example of the opulent ’90s.
(1986) Another John Hughes movie that was a box office smash and – with Matthew Broderick in the lead role – made truancy totally cool. bath without Bubbles? Hey, Bubbles, get over here!” Sorry “Caddyshack,” this was Rodney Dangerfield, as Thornton Melon, at his movie best. First time many saw Robert Downey, Jr. or Sam Kinison in action.
“Hoosiers” (1986) Inspiring movie about a 1950s underdog Indiana high school basketball team led to the championship by relentless coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman). “Summer School” (1987) Carl
Reiner directed this underrated film starring Mark Harmon before “CSI” and Kristie Alley before crash diets. Also, it created a
“Mr. Holland’s Opus” (1995) Academy Award nominee Dreyfuss was all grown up as a music instructor that fell for student Rowena Morgan (Jean Louisa Kelly). Her rendition of “Someone to Watch Over Me” is unforgettable. “Election” (1999) Showed Reese Witherspoon as a dowdy, annoying student body president candidate and showed that Broderick had grown up and actually had tremendous range as an actor. This was a movie many missed in the theater.
“American Pie” (1999) A film that centered on teens with too much testosterone, it prompted multiple sequels. Eugene Levy played the consummate dad. “Legally Blonde” (2001) Showed Witherspoon as a bombshell that became America’s heartthrob and proved that it wasn’t really that hard to get into Harvard. “School of Rock” (2003) When
released, it became the highest grossing musical comedy of all-time (recently passed by “Pitch Perfect 2”) and made Jack Black a bankable movie star.
“Napoleon Dynamite” (2004) Like “Revenge,” it made nerds like Napoleon (Jon Heder) a hero. Given the current state of the 2016 presidential election, I think I will “Vote for Pedro.” “Juno” (2007) Dealt with a difficult high school subject with humor and class delivered flawlessly by Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Allison Janney and J. K. Simmons. This is a teenage comedy that received unprecedented critical acclaim. “Pitch Perfect” (2012) A perfect vehicle to display the talents of Anna Kendrick, the film introduced America to college a cappella, as well as the annoying song “Cups.”

him find out for himself. Along with installing doggy doors for easy access to the backyard, install doggy windows into the fence for something fun to gaze at. These are simply windows at dog-level. Have your professional contractor saw one or two rectangles into your fence and insert the clear acrylic for the dog to peak out of when curious. Once the dog comes back inside, you might need to wash him or her down. As I’ve mentioned in the past, doggy showers are a great addition to your mudroom. You’ll need one with a handheld shower head to make

it easier to wash the pup, and be sure to have some kind of floor barrier between the shower and the rest of the floor; splashing is guaranteed. If you don't have a shower in your home just for your pet, install a second handheld shower head in your shower so that you can bathe him more easily. Not to mention it also helps with cleaning the shower itself. In the end, it’s important to treat your pets almost like toddlers and teenagers; they need their own spaces, a little freedom and to be fed.

planes. At the end of eight to 10 hour missions, day and night, practicing aerial refueling, celestial navigation and bomb runs, we received directions to land back at home. The procedure was called “jet penetration.” It was quite different from the smooth comfortable descent of airliners today. From 50,000 feet in the stratosphere, we would slow down from Mach .95, lower gear and flaps, and go into a controlled dive with heavy buffeting. Rolling out on final approach, before the days of instrument landing systems, ground approach (GCA) took over with just radar. It was always raining in Lake Charles. Often we used a drogue chute on approach and always a brake chute on touchdown, in order to come to a stop on the two mile runway. Reverse thrust engines were not yet invented. Yes, planes and equipment have come a long way, but basic flying is still there … in your blood. It helped get me through July and August in Dallas this year. Thanks, John.
