DEEP ELLUM

Dallas freeway becomes target for teardown

By Brandon Formby/Texas Tribune Like many urban stretches of Texas highways, an elevated Dallas bridge known as Interstate 345 carries hundreds of thousands of motorists to and from work every day while also serving as another link within the nation’s expansive web of freeways.

Still, a grassroots group of urban planners and civic leaders for years have called for tearing down the freeway on downtown’s east side. Their effort got a big boost last year when the Texas Department of Transportation released a study that showed removing the aging structure could spur the neighborhood's real estate and economy without creating the kind of traffic nightmare many fear.

And on Monday, the push for doing away with the freeway connecting U.S. Highway 75 and Interstate 45 garnered national support.

Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), a group that advocates for the creation of dense and walkable city neighborhoods, included Interstate 345 on its latest list of “Freeways Without Futures.” The report advocates for removing highways

that isolate city neighborhoods, require costly maintenance and arguably suppress economic development potential on land surrounding the freeways.

CNU’s list comes as cities in Texas and across the U.S. wrestle with how to maintain or replace aging highways built after World War II that were designed and constructed during an era of city Photo by Cooper Neil/Texas Tribune planning that many say prioritized I-345 separates downtown from Deep Ellum. vehicular traffic to the economic President Donald Trump’s administration and cultural detriment of urban plans to approach updating the country’s neighborhoods. transportation systems.

UPTOWN GIRL

Live and in purr-son — the amazing Acro Cats

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com If there’s one thing us Uptown girls can’t deny, it’s our totally dorky yet overtly public love for animals, especially our favorite kitty cat friend. And what could be more entertaining than cats that are trained to do tricks like jump through hoops and other acrobatics?

Well, this is your chance to see the most random (and purrfect) event of the season, because the amazing Acro-Cats are coming back to Dallas!

Get ready to see the fur fly at a circus unlike any you’ve

ever seen before, because the Circus Cats will be purr-forming at the Texas Theater in Oak Cliff this Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 7 and 8, at 7 p.m. Don’t miss out on seeing the most talented kitties on this side of the Mississippi as they show off their fluff doing tricks and ending with a … wait for it … live rock show!

One of the only four domestic cat shows in the nation, the Acro-Cats and their trainers are dedicated to promoting awareness and more rescued feline adoption. The brains behind the operation, Samantha Martin, is a devoted animal

welfare proponent, traveling from city to city to help people understand their feline counterparts and support rescue programs across the nation. Each of the show’s talented cats are rescued as well, brought from foster kitties to pussy cat stardom in order to raise money for Loveland Cat Adoption & Resource Center.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Fish sticks on Friday night

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com I am playing hurt this week, as a torn tendon on my right middle finger (or my Central Expressway finger, as I call it) surfaced two weeks ago. I literally woke up with it. My doctor said it is not uncommon, especially for those with sleeping issues. No surgery is needed. My fingertip just needs to be splinted for six weeks. So here comes the fun part. A hand specialist cuts a rectangle from a small sheet of hard rubber, wraps the piece around your finger and heats with a hair dryer to make the cast. Then the tip of the splint is super-glued to your fingernail with, well, Super Glue.

She used over-the-counter Super Glue, not prescription Super Glue. My middle finger looks like a first grader’s arts and crafts project without the paper plate, dried macaroni and gold paint. “That will be $330, please.” Wait, what? And it will be six weeks before I can properly respond to that bill …

It sure didn’t take President Donald Trump long to upset the U.S. and the world. He stayed true to his campaign promises, but caused an uproar never seen in the first 100 days of anyone’s presidency.

And it has only just begun. He should sign a letter banning Twitter response by presidents. That said … My sibling and I — who rarely speak to each other because of distance and other priorities — took to an email stream recently that was funny and heartfelt. The topic was food at the family dinner. We had little money growing up, with my dad a blue-collar worker and my mom trying to raise four children. They did the best they could. But the discussion started when my sister tried to explain

to her children about the Friday night fish stick dinner. There was more nutrition in the box that the fish sticks came in. The texted conversation quickly moved on to SPAM, liver and onions, lima beans and my dad’s favorite — ­ creamed corn — which was corn in some sort of sauce.

It is the only way to make corn taste bad.

And my dad with then mix in the creamed corn with mashed potatoes to make them runny as well. “It all David Mullen goes down the same pipe,” he would say. The TV dinner never came up in texts, but should have. The youth of today don’t know how good they have it. Or do they? … A new Urban Dictionary term popular among young people — which I had never heard of until last week — is “breadcruming” and apparently a product of the obsessions with cell phones. By definition, breadcruming is “The act of sending out flirtatious, but non-committal text messages (i.e. “breadcrumbs”) to members of the opposite sex in order to lure a sexual partner without expending much effort or when a guy or girl gives someone just enough attention to keep their hope of a relationship alive.” YouTube personality Grazzz said “He keeps texting me but doesn't want to set up a time to see me. Yo, girl, he's breadcrumbing you.” It is also known as “Hansel and Gretelling.”

Maybe the youth of today don’t have it so good after all ... Hit two new recently opened spots with

a tie to the past. I went to the shiny, new Waffle House on Ross Avenue. I was not disappointed.

It was just like the old Waffle House, only the waitresses’ uniforms were not syrup and coffee stained. And then went to the new Chelsea Corner on McKinney Avenue at the old Chelsea Corner location. It has been completely redone and looks nothing like the mainstay bar of the ’80s and ’90s.

And that remodel — and the place does look great inside — obviously came with a price. I had a beer and a shot of Jameson and it was $17 before tip. Maybe they could go back to ’80s pricing …

hardware retailer that makes the shopping experience so confounding. If you can’t put the light bulbs in the lighting section, maybe open a bar inside so shoppers can contemplate our next move.

And put it next to the rebar so I can find it. Those retailers certainly provide a service, as they don’t sell toilet seats at 7-Eleven ... On a 1983 episode of “The New 25,000 Pyramid,” as clue to the category “Things you blend” Lavar Burton said “smoothies.”

No one, not the contestant nor even Dick Clark, had heard of the term … Want to feel old? “The Graduate” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” star Katherine Ross turned 77 on Sunday.

MY VIEW

Flying home when others cannot

By Rani Cher Monson ranicher@yahoo.com

As I entered the Denver airport to catch my flight back to Dallas Sunday, it didn’t matter that I was late. I moved in slow motion, studying the faces and signs protesting the immigration ban ordered by President Trump.

I get to fly home, but I didn’t earn this right to be treated differently — with respect. I simply was born in the United States. I’m uncomfortable with this privilege. Confused. I thought our country believes in innocence until proven guilty.

Now we assume guilt simply based on a birth country.

And this is only week one. Trump’s handlers promise it’s only the beginning.

What I understand our country stands for has been turned upside down, for the worse. Lessons of the past forgotten, a divide over beliefs separating us further apart.

I fear it will get worse.

Eighteen million Americans, including me, could lose their health care coverage. Friends could be deported. A woman’s right to have an abortion could be in jeopardy.

I’ve called my U.S. Senators. Ted Cruz’s office simply added me to their email list without my permission, which I plan to report.

I’m resentful, feeling powerless and uncertain what actions I can take to stop policies I abhor and cannot understand. I’ve tried watching Fox News. I know why Trump praises the network. They beat up anyone willing to come on and question him, even an elected mayor.

I force myself to listen to the conservative A.M. radio station during commercial breaks on NPR. The zany commercials are the only tolerable aspect.

I’ve tried — in earnest — to understand Trump’s supporters. Conversations haven’t gone well. Yes, dad, I’m talking to you. Instead of gaining understanding, it’s polarizing.

Strangers sharing a common table Rani Monson have been more interested in lecturing than connecting. His friend offered us money to take him off his hands for an hour. No amount would suffice.

I donate money to the ACLU and think of other organizations to financially support. I joined a group of women looking to make a difference at the state level.

It’s hardly enough.

Whose words you cannot take at face value. Where what isn’t said is more important than what is.

From dismissing the women's march to throwing support behind the pro-life movement, I’m not comfortable my interests as a woman will be protected.

Trump has taken on things I believe in, including the importance of the media while framing those who question him as liars. He’s creating a Cold War within our own country, and I fear we’re playing along, encouraging the divide.

We’re unable to have civilized conversations to try and find common ground. I fear the next four years will be a scary roller coaster, lots of twists and turns filled with uncertainty.

It’s not whether you agree with my beliefs, but how any of us can ensure our voice is heard among all the noise.

MULL IT OVER

You bet it’s Super Bowl time

By David Mullen

PAGE 3

FITNESS

Here’s how goals are met

david@katytrailweekly.com

By Turner Cavender

Super Bowl LI is a numbers game, even if the NFL insists on using Roman numerals to identify the contest.

On Sunday, Feb. 5, the Super Bowl will be played at Houston’s nrg Stadium between the AFC champion New England Patriots and the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots are a three-point favorite to win. New England had the number one defense in the league this year. The Falcons were the leagues’ number one offense. A strong defense always bests a strong offense, right? You wanna’ bet?

No, not on the game, but on the more than 500 other proposition bets related to the game and the broadcast.

Westgate Las Vegas Resort’s Race and Sports Book and online gaming sites have put together some outrageous bets that could be fun to play at one of the tens of millions of Super Bowl parties around the league.

People in the U.S. will spend more than $15.3 billion on game-day related expenses.

Why not spend a little more on the prop bets?

The odds that National Anthem singer Luke Bryan puts his hand on his heart during the anthem are 1/6 and the odds of him using a cheat sheet to remember the words are 19/1. I just wonder if he will remember to take his hat off.

And I’ll bet money that no one at your Super Bowl party will even know who Luke Bryan is.

The odds that the coin flip is either heads or tails are even money. In Las Vegas (or with your local bookie) you have to put up $102 to win $100. Take tails. And the odds that the team that wins the coin toss defers is 1/2 and receives is 2/1.

Do you have unmet goals?

You aren’t alone. In fact, most of us live with unfulfilled aspirations, which is why the self-help industry is booming.

Unfortunately, many widely used selfhelp techniques fail to deliver results.

Case in point: You’ve probably heard of the Yale Goal Study where researchers were said to have interviewed the graduating Yale seniors in 1953, asking whether or not the students had written down specific goals that they wanted to achieve. Then twenty years down the road the researchers looked up each student and discovered that the 3 percent of the class who had written down their goals had accumulated more personal wealth than the other 97 percent combined.

Very compelling story, but complete fiction.

The Yale Goal Study never happened, though motivational speakers and self-help books have quoted it for years.

Best-selling author and psychologist Richard Wiseman went on a mission to craft a no-nonsense response to the bogus selfhelp techniques. Using a diverse range of scientific data he uncovered a proven approach to achieve any goal.

The following five successful techniques (Do This) and five unsuccessful techniques (Not That) are from Wiseman’s book, 59 Seconds Change Your Life in Under a Minute.

Do This: Make a step-by-step plan. If you are serious about achieving your goal, then you need to create a step-by-step plan on how to do it.

Successful goal-achievers break down their overall goal into sub-goals. Each subgoal needs to be concrete, measurable and time-based.

Not That: Motivate yourself by focusing on someone that you admire. Studies show that focusing on someone you admire is not a strong enough motivator to see you through your goal.

Do This: Tell other people about your goal. How badly do you want to achieve your goal? If you want it bad enough, you’ll tell your friends and family.

This technique works on two levels. First, you’ve put yourself on the spot by letting the world in on your goal, so it’s all-eyes-on-you.

Failure would be public. Second, your friends

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.

I would always take the ball.

The Patriots are wearing white and the Falcons — designated as the home team — are wearing red. But what will be the color of the hoodie with the sawed-off sleeves that Patriots coach Bill Belichick will wear?

The odds on blue is 4/11, on grey is 3/1, red is 40/1 and the field bet is 50/1. Don’t bet the field because I honestly only remember him wearing blue or grey. I’m going with grey even though a hazel hoodie would match quarterback Tom Brady’s eyes better.

It’s funny that the lowest odds between the game being delayed by anything (19/1) and the odds that the power goes out at nrg Stadium (99/1) are the odds that one of the two team’s players is arrested during Super Bowl week (15/1). It happened in the Falcons only other Super Bowl appearance in 1999 when safety Eugene Robinson was arrested for solicitation in Miami. I was there. At the game, I mean.

The over/under on the number of times that a FOX show star is shown in the crowd during the broadcast is 1/5. Bet the house on the over. The odds that announcer Joe Buck continues to have a shadow of a beard versus being clean shaven is 10/1. I think he shaves for the game. And the odds that halftime performer

Lady Gaga makes an anti-Trump political statement (visual or vocal) is 10/13. Gaga gets the nod.

Even the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is getting into the act.

They are betting that thousands of the more than 100 million TV viewers watching the Super Bowl while consuming more than 1.3 billion chicken wings during game day parties will get sick from room temperature-related bacteria.

What a rally killer, USDA! Finally, what are the odds on what color Gatorade will be poured on the winning coach?

Orange is 7/2, blue is 15/4, purple is 6/1 and yellow is 13/2.

Water is 4/1, although I am going to bet that the Gatorade will be orange and that Michael Jordan will come down on the field and help Gatorade get further exposure.

Now, to the real game. I think it sets up to be a high scoring, wild affair that will exceed the total points bet of 57 1/2. And in the end, I think the Atlanta Falcons will win Super Bowl LI for the first time and receive their first NFL championship in their 51 years of existence. Falcons coach Mike Smith gets doused with orange Gatorade and quarterback Matt Ryan will win the game’s Most Valuable Player. You can bet on it.

and family are there to offer support and encouragement. Don’t underestimate the psychological power of having someone in your corner.

Not That: Think about the bad things.

When you focus on the negative it becomes your reality.

Do This: Focus on the good things Turner Cavender when achieving your goal. Remind yourself of the benefits associated with achieving your goal.

Make a checklist of how life will be better once you have achieved your aim. This gets your focus on a positive future, one that’s worth the effort.

Not That: Try to suppress unhelpful thoughts. Rather than trying to erase that image of chocolate cake from your mind, learn to deal with the reality of temptation head-on.

Do This: Reward your progress. Studies show that attaching rewards to each of your sub-goals encourages success.

Your rewards should never conflict with your major goal. When aiming to lose weight, never use food as a reward.

Not That: Rely on willpower. Willpower alone rarely gets anyone to their goal.

Do This: Record your progress. Make your plans, progress, benefits and rewards concrete by expressing them in writing.

Use a hand-written journal, your computer or a bulletin board to chart your progress. This process is priceless for maintaining motivation.

Not That: Fantasize about life after achieving your goal. Daydreaming is fun, but simply fantasizing about your new life will not make it a reality.

Pecans (not state legislators) are the official state nuts of Texas. It should be noted that the official designation is “state health nut” to avoid confusion.

Neighbor state Louisiana also has a thing for pecans and the pecan pie at NOLA Brasserie is a thing of sweet, syrupy beauty.

Mardi Gras is Feb. 28.

Party on with pecan pie.

NOLA Brasserie Bourbon Pecan Pie At the downtown restaurant, the pie is served in individual soufflé dishes. It can also be made in a traditional pie pan.

This is a recipe big enough to make two pies or fill eight soufflé dishes.

8 eggs 1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar 1 1/3 cups light brown sugar

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com When a family is growing and needs to expand their space, it’s common to go for the attic or the basement. Well, I have a different idea: convert the garage.

I’ve seen a lot of families over the years remodel their garage, as they weren’t even using it for car storage to begin with.

The only garage space being used was against the walls, and everything else was stored in the backyard shed. It’s time to make a change by dividing up the extra empty room into a functional, fashionable and valuable addition.

There are a lot of benefits to making over the garage, but you must determine your needs.

First, what is your house lacking? Is your existing kitchen too narrow? Maybe you don’t have a dining room or space for a breakfast nook. Try expanding the kitchen into the garage for that open-concept feel and functionality. Thanksgiving and Christmas may be relocated to your house after this expansion.

What about your current familial circumstances? For example, is your in-law coming to live with you? In that case, create a living space equipped with all amenities needed for independent living. Depending on your square footage, create the proper kitchenette for the room, with appliances, sinks and storage.

This could mean a corner kitchenette or a single-wall, eat-in kitchen, which is a fully functioning kitchen that takes up just one wall. This way, your loved one will feel like they have their own separate home, while not being alone.

For the rest of the space, you’ll need at least one window, a seating area, separate sleeping area, closet and bathroom.

Keep in mind that none of these

Are you ready for the latest real estate news from CandysDirt.com?

Well, here it is. If you subscribed to CandysDirt. Candace Evans com you would know that this stunning Vickery Place townhouse has had a brush or two with fame.

You know a home has star power when it’s a TV series location twin. Last season, Bravo Network’s reality show, “The Real Housewives of Dallas” (RHOD), was looking for a knockedout modern home. One that would sway Tiffany Hendra’s musician husband Aaron away from thoughts of Nashville and convince him “Big D” could indeed be home. Tiffany, in case you are Bravo deprived, is one of the leading ladies on RHOD. They loved the look of these Vickery Place modern townhouses, but they were too darned late. The 5411 Melrose Ave. townhouse was snapped up before they could get an offer in place.

Our “Saturday Eight Hundred” — right next door at 5409 Melrose Ave. and an exact twin of 5411 — was not yet available. Dang, we could have rubbed elbows with Tiff and Aaron at Trader Joe’s or downed cocktails next to them at Capital Grill on a regular basis. Vickery Place has long been thought of in terms of its Conservation District status. Craftsman, Prairie and Tudor homes make up about 90 percent of the home styles in area. However, just below that conservation boundary, a lot of excitement is happening. Builders like Pierce Jordan Development are creating a hip new neighborhood for young professionals and empty nesters.

Mikhail Moya is the architectural genius behind this Pierce Jordan Development project.

“With a 25 by 150 foot site it was important that we allowed as much light in as possible,” Moya said. Creating an inner courtyard was a brilliant solution. “The courtyard becomes the center of the house and all of the rooms respond to the courtyard,” he added. That light imparts a sense of being somewhere else other than in the heart of Vickery Place. It has look and feel of a trendy modern Miami beach house.

“The design is so unique,” said listing agent Ty Vaughn with Robert Elliott’s brokerage, The Associates. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a powder bath in the two-story, 2,606-square-foot home which is truly a twin of the next-door property.

However, the present owner has gone above and beyond in upgrades.

“He created a full yard with fountain, a built-in grill, and installed a linear fireplace,” Vaughn said. “He also added smart home features.

of ocean waters and ocean acidification. As we add more CO2 into our air, more heat is trapped in our atmosphere warming average temperatures around the world. Ocean temperatures where coral reefs survive are vulnerable to heat increases. Coral reefs are made up of a symbiotic relationship between the animal coral, and algae. The coral provides shelter for the algae and the algae provides nutrients for the coral. When ocean temperatures warm, the coral gets stressed and the algae is ejected from the coral, leaving the coral a lifeless white color. This is called coral bleaching.

Ocean water that is more acidic degrades animals with calcium exoskeletons such as coral, crabs, lobsters, oysters and clams.

How are oceans becoming more acidic? When CO2 reacts with water the result is carbonic acid.

More CO2 in our atmosphere leads to more CO2 being taken up by our oceans, resulting in sea level acidity rising. This ocean acidification breaks down calcium in the organism making their exoskeletons brittle and more susceptible to death.

Anytime we increase CO2 into our atmosphere the domino effect sets off. Our actions affect the extreme richness of coral

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

by Stella Wilder

The coming week will open on a note of highest expectation, as nearly everyone will be in the position of waiting eagerly — for important news, a key development, an imminent arrival, a golden opportunity or the chance to shine in a situation that may come around only once in a blue moon. Indeed, most are ready for something quite extraordinary to happen — and happen it will, in most cases — but patience will be required as most of these exciting events are not going to occur precisely on schedule or according to plan. What is one to do? Fill the time, of course — by keeping busy, occupying the mind, preparing for what is to come and strengthening the bonds that will prove to be essential once things really start happening.

The personal and the professional are likely to combine in interesting ways, and not always intentionally. Indeed, some will find themselves dealing with difficult situations because these two central aspects of their lives are actually colliding in a manner that requires attention and, in some cases, decisions that are not easy to make.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may confuse a message from an ally for something that you have been hoping not to hear. An adjustment in attitude is called for. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Events will tell you a great deal about your current state of mind. Any changes you make will have far-reaching effects.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Someone may be operating under the assumption that things are the same now as they were years ago. It's time to make things clearer. (March 6-March 20) – You can do a great deal to improve relations between two warring parties. Your ability to find common ground transcends conflict.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may wish that things were somewhat different from the way they actually are, but a friend can show you how to work with current realities. (April 5-April 19) – Your attachment to something from your past may be holding you back. Try to separate yourself from anything that isn't up to date.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may be skating on some very thin ice. Do what you can to improve your sense of security in and around the home. (May 6-May 20) – A sense of urgency gives everything you do a certain unusual energy and drive. You'll have earned a rest when the time comes!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Your prospects are solid, but you may not understand exactly what is compelling you to move in a certain direction. Trust your instincts. (June 7-June 20) – You

may have trouble discerning what is real and what is not — and your fantasy life is likely to get a boost from a former friend or lover!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) It may take some expert maneuvering to get what you want, but it will remain in sight almost without interruption. Keep trying.

(July 8-July 22) – No matter how much you share with a certain friend or loved one, it won't be enough. You'll want to raise the level of commitment very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Progress may be interrupted for a time as you are forced to deal with an issue you've kept at bay for quite a while. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – A family member may not say so, but he or she is in need of help — the kind that only you can give. Be generous with your time and resources.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You mustn't let others dictate all the changes. You have an agenda that must be respected — by you, especially! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You are not playing by the rules, and you haven't been for quite some time. You may have a run-in with a self-appointed authority figure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Someone in charge is likely to give you a second chance when he or she realizes that you

reefs. Coral reefs make up less than one percent of the ocean floor but are home to 25 percent of marine species. Reefs support worldwide fishing industries, provide tourist dollars and protect shorelines from offshore storms. Their importance goes beyond their gargantuan beauty and our decisions should reflect their impact.

Your actions here in Dallas affect these magical places around the world. A bike ride here, train ride there, or carpool can reduce the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.

Beyond that choose appropriate housing and not superfluous, turn your thermostat up (or down in winter), shop at thrift stores and refuse plastic bottles. The options to reduce the amount of CO2 you release are limited only by your creativity.

You may not have been with me the day I snorkeled out to a huge coral reef, but I hope one day you get the same opportunity to let its immensity imprint on your brain. Make decisions now to keep the opportunity alive for you and your children.

MOVIE TRAILER

‘Lion’ quietly roars into Best Picture of the Year contention

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

There’s been a bit of breakthrough with movies in the last year. Optimism has crept back into them and it’s reflected by a few of the movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Movies like “La La Land,” “Hidden Figures” and even a sci-fi flick like “Arrival” are designed to be uplifting and inspiring.

Another one of those nominated for Best Picture, “Lion,” also shoots right for the heart.

This borderline fairy tale about a lost Indian boy would be tough to swallow if not for every single part of it being factual. First-time director Garth Davis has taken a real life story that easily could have been simplified into a cheesy, cheap Lifetime-like tale and crafted a gorgeous to watch spectacle that shouldn’t leave anyone with dry eyes.

“Lion” begins in the Indian province of Khandwa in 1986. Five-year-old Saroo (Sunny Pawar) and his older brother, Guddu (Abhishek Bharate), scour the streets and hills of their poverty-stricken town to help their mother make ends meet. Saroo talks his brother into letting him work with him at night and shortly finds himself alone at a train station in the middle of the night. After falling asleep on a train, he wakes up to find the train moving and it does not stop until he travels 1,600 miles to the massive city Calcutta.

Saroo may as well be on another planet as he learns that his native Hindi language is not spoken in Calcutta, where they speak Bengali. For two months, he lives on the street,

Rooney Mara and Dev Patel star in “Lion.” scavenging for his food and constantly looking for a way to get to a home of which he doesn’t really know the name. Eventually, he is taken to an orphanage where he is adopted by an Australian couple, John and Sue Brierley (David Wenham and Nicole Kidman).

“Lion” then moves forward 25 years and adult Saroo (now played by Dev Patel) is set to attend hospitality school in his desire to become a hotel manager. It’s never brought up, but the desire to manage a place in which people stay while away from home is quite fitting, and while at a party with classmates and his eventual

girlfriend, Lucy (Rooney Mara), he learns about a new program called Google Earth.

Saroo begins his quest of scouring the train stations in India that could potentially be his home. He quickly goes from casually searching to all-out obsession, which only keeps him at arm’s length from Lucy and his family.

Considering “Lion” is based on the book written by Saroo Brierley, it’s clear where the story is going. However, director Davis and screenwriter Luke Davies methodically build the story so that the emotional climax to the tale hits like a ton of bricks. It is recreated with subtlety

and so much finesse that it becomes impossible to not be overcome with joy.

The most deserving Oscar nomination of “Lion” goes to cinematographer Greig Fraser.

The overhead shots of the terrain of Khandwa are breathtaking, and when juxtaposed with the views of the crowded, insanely hectic streets of Calcutta, it places you in Saroo’s journey. His camera shots essentially become another character in “Lion” and it would almost be a crime if he were not to be rewarded for his efforts.

“Lion” also features the most subdued, non-movie star performance from Nicole Kidman in quite some time. There’s no vanity or “mom saves the day” moment from her. Her strongest acting comes when her character is at her weakest, showing the cracks and pressures of raising children that, at the end of the day, aren’t biologically hers.

The strongest performances come from the two actors playing Saroo, Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel. Pawar perhaps gives the greatest child actor performance ever, and Patel brings the most conflict as he battles the desire to let his birth mother know he’s alive versus alienating the people that raised him. There’s always a look in his eyes that he’s not quite in the moment and that yearning is brilliantly portrayed by Patel.

If anything, “Lion” deserves its Best Picture nomination for bringing warmth to the movie theater while showcasing the horrific conditions that thousands of Indian children live in every day. This is as much a family film as any and is one of the rare movies that could inspire people who are able to do more for those less fortunate.

“Lion” is a truly can’t miss film.

India’s Golden Triangle unlike anywhere else

wald.world@yahoo.com Delhi is India’s biggest city (and one of the world’s biggest, too), with all the typical problems of large cities in the undeveloped world including excessive traffic, pollution, poverty, and crime. Southwest of Delhi is the city of Jaipur; southeast of Delhi is Agra, site of the Taj Mahal. These three cities form what is popularly known as the “Golden Triangle” of India, the most heavily visited area for Michael Wald tourists to India.

A visit to the Golden Triangle typically begins in Delhi, as that is where the international airport is. Arriving in Delhi was a shock to my system because as soon as you leave the airport your senses are bombarded with a new and very different culture.

It looks, sounds and smells different. The air has the smell of Indian cooking with spices not common in the U.S. Although English is the official language of India, almost everyone speaks Hindi, so you cannot understand what is being said. Even when English is spoken, the heavy accent forces you to ask for words to be repeated.

I stayed at a utilitarian hotel near the Connaught Circle, the center of activity in the new city, in an upscale area. Still everything looked like it was in a state of disrepair. I was far enough away from the Circle so it would take at least 10 minutes to walk there. The hotel had a guarded gate, as do most hotels. That told me it probably wasn’t a good idea to walk to the Circle alone.

The first night was impossible to get rest. I was kept awake by dogs barking, fireworks and cars on the street outside honking all through the night. The car horn is used so liberally that it becomes part of the makeup of India. Welcome

Elephants climb up to the Agra Fort. to the sounds of a new culture.

There’s much to see in Delhi. My top three sites were Old Delhi (take a bicycle rickshaw ride), the Sikh Temple near the YMCA (with a pool the size of a city block; bare feet required) and Ghandi’s last home. A good guide book can direct you, but it’s too hard to get around such a large city without local help. I strongly suggest that you get a tour or hire a driver.

From Delhi, a visit to Agra is almost mandatory to see the Taj. I stayed in Agra several days. If you visit the Taj from Delhi, you’ll have to travel for 2 1/2 hours to arrive. The lines are very long, and they get longer the later you arrive. If you go, see the Taj and return, it will take a full day. For this reason staying in one of the many hotels that have opened in Agra in recent years is a good idea. There are some other not-to be-missed sites in Agra, including a miniature Taj and the immense Agra Fort, but the Taj is the attraction that draws people.

Jaipur, about equal distance from Agra or Delhi (2 1/2 hours) has many things to see.

The buildings in the city were painted pink for a visit from the Prince of Wales in 1876, thus gaining its nickname as the Pink City. The stunning Amber Fort, a huge monument built to ward off challenges to the Akbar Empire when its construction was started in 1565, is the main attraction. Arrive early and take a quintessential elephant ride to the top of the hill where the fort stands. The elephants are limited to three rides a day, so later in the day, a jeep may be your only alternative to a strenuous walk up the hill.

Another must-see place is the City Palace, still occupied by royalty, impressive for its opulence amid the poverty of the surrounding bazaar — a vivid illustration of the economic divide that is India’s main challenge.

FLYING cont'd from page 2 what I believe in, what I stand for and what's okay and not okay — for my own moral compass. It doesn't matter what the president tells me should be right — and wrong. I get to make that decision for myself, and that is one of the greatest freedoms we have and need to protect.

I hope as a society we’re realizing the danger of putting in the White House a showman who tweeted his way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. That we’re realizing 140 characters of nasty isn’t the same as a well thoughtout and executed strategy.

It’s hurting all of us, and it’s only with the chorus of our concerns can we change course, and I don’t see that we have any other choice.

I made my flight home, slept in my own bed.

Sadly, many others didn’t.

Now, in 1965, 1600 I were married here in Dallas, her Pacific Tower was renamed LTV home. She had a very good job working for Continental Electronics, Tower, Ling’s monument.

Sometime in the early ’70s, after located on Buckner Blvd. in east the demise of LTV, I was called in Dallas. Continental made masby the new owner of 1600 Pacific to sive antennas, including those for render advice on how to remodel for Radio Free Europe, which beamed re-entry into the office leasing marmessages of freedom to the peoples ket. That was the first time the outtrapped behind the Soviet “Iron side world could see what had been Curtain.” Barbara was in charge secretly designed and built for Mr. of security and carried a top secret clearance, the same as I had in 1958, Ling to run his massive worldwide

empire. It was like something from a James Bond movie. The inner sanctum had lead lined walls to prevent hostile interception of private communications. There was also private elevatoring to the executive suite.

The new building owner, after the tour, turned to me for advice on who would pay a premium for these offices. My advice, not what he wanted to hear, was….” Rip it all out. The market at that time was not looking for used palatial remains.” He did.

Other stories could be written about the remains of big corporate statements made with offices.

How about Seven Eleven building Cityplace Tower, J. C. Penny in what is now Legacy and IBM with the huge corporate campus in the Solana development, which they never occupied. Could corporate monuments be in the making today? Just drive out north. Now that brings me to the subject of my next story in this series, Corporate Outsourcing of Real Estate, 1990.

Stay tuned. I will have fun with this one.

CATS cont'd from page 1 tour bus ready to spread smiles and welcome fans with open paws.

Across the nation, Samantha and the Acro-Cats, including Tuna, Ryann Gordon band manager and star of the show, have continued to entertain and inspire audiences with their talent and unique human-animal bond. The intelligent and inherently curious personalities that create the Circus Cat experience form a group that fits into a cat-egory of its own.

This coming week the cats will be rolling into Dallas, fluffing their tails and showing off their feline finesse.

They’ll be doing tricks like jumping through hoops, climbing ropes, ringing bells, walking the high wire and skateboarding … there’s said to also be guest appearances from mice/rats and even a cat versus chicken bowling show down. Even those who claim to dislike cats won’t want to miss this most a-mew-sing show. (And I mean really, how many cats have you seen skateboard?)

And no one can forget the show’s main attraction — the Rock Cats. The only known cat band in existence, the Rock Cats, led by band manager Tuna, have become the face of the amazing Acro-Cats. With Tuna as lead guitar, Dakota on the drums, Nue at the keyboard and Cluck Norris (the chicken) at the mic, these animals have set out on a quest to purr-sue rock and roll glory. And glory they’ve gained, as the Rock Cats finish off the show with a meow-sical act live none you’ve ever seen before.
