Former Judge Creuzot declares for District Attorney race
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com On Sunday, Feb. 5 via Facebook, former Dallas County State Judge John Creuzot (right), 59, announced his intention to run for the Dallas County District Attorney post now occupied by Faith Johnson, who was appointed by Governor Greg Abbott after the resignation of Susan Hawk. With the election in 2018, why would he start his campaign now? “This is an important race. It is a county wide race,” Creuzot said on Tuesday in his Turtle Creek office. “Because of the recent history of it and because the person who is in there right now was not elected, the average person on up through those involved in government are paying attention to the office.” Creuzot, a Democrat, was born in New Orleans, grew up in Houston and then moved to Dallas where he graduated from the SMU School of Law in 1982. He began a career as an Assistant District Attorney for Dallas County, achieving the rank of Chief Felony Prosecutor. He was appointed State District Judge of Criminal District Court 4 by then Governor Ann Richards. Judge
Creuzot was elected five times and served as a State District Judge for more than 21 years. He is now in private practice. “I really think that leadership and integrity is what’s desired, and I think I bring that,” Creuzot said. “I bring decades of accomplishments in criminal justice reform.” He has been a champion for the cause of bail reform, proposing a fairer, less subjective way to determine if the bail amount fits the crime. He has been supportive of legislation that has resulted in the closing of three prisons across Texas by looking at other ways than a jail cell to rehabilitate low level offenders and how to work with those on probation. The District Attorney is the chief law enforcement officer in Dallas County. “But it is bigger than that,” Creuzot said. ”The DA’s office can be the hub of many spokes. For example, our probation department can work better if the District Attorney’s office understands its [the probation department’s] job and can collaborate with it. The District Attorney’s office and the county government work better if we are on the same page about innovative things that reduce crime and save money.
Photo courtesy of John Creuzot
“The chief law enforcement officer means you prosecute everything to the hilt,” Creuzot said. “That is not what it means. It means that you are smart on crime. I think that I carry the best qualifications to be smart on crime. “My platform is ‘Hard work. Heart work.’ Justice is hard work and it is heart work. You are dealing with people and their lives. A vast majority of people are not going to the penitentiary. So what are we going to do? I want to be part of the solution.”

Turning Valentine's Day into heartfelt ME-Day By Ryann Gordon
ryannbgordon@yahoo.com With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s bound to be a lot of last-minute date night planning coming up … this weekend to be exact. So why not do a little extra for V-Day this year? Either go all-out for your significant other; or, why not for yourself? Treat someone, whoever it is, this Tuesday, and plan a date night like none you’ve had before. Go to the circus, comedy club, ice skating, bowling, skydiving, race go-karts, play laser tag, have a picnic — just don’t go to Nobu … again. Anything but a dinner and movie this Valentine’s Day, because V-Day is ME-Day this year, and it’s time to treat the number one in your life.
If you’re sharing your special day with another special someone, then at least Ryann Gordon add a little bit of adventure to your traditional V-Day. Don’t do the same dinner/movie date you’ve been taken on for the past five date nights. Use this opportunity to do something spontaneous and unusual, and add a little spark in your relationship with a date night that gets your adrenaline pumping and your heart racing … in more than one way. Do something active, like paddle boarding or go-kart racing; explore the Trinity River by canoe, or the forest by air at
Trinity Forest Adventure Park; or go to the Mavs game at the American Airlines Center. Get drunk on love and go bowling at Bowlounge or Bowl and Barrel (they’re actually having a shred your ex V-Day party); battle it out at laser quest or paintball; or tour one of Dallas’ local breweries. Go to a wine and cheese tasting at Scardello in Oak Lawn, or learn to make your own cheese at Mozzarella Company. Or go take another type of cooking class together at Central Market. Have dinner anything but the old-fashioned way at Keith & Margo’s Murder Mystery Texas, and get hyped together as you and your date try to solve the murder mystery over dinner. Take your date to the Farmer’s Market, Trinity Groves
or The Wild Detectives in Oak Cliff, an indie bookstore/café that has author readings and live music. See a movie on the rocks at Alamo Drafthouse or see a different kind of live act at Dallas Comedy House or Hyena’s. Go to a show at the AT&T Center or Music Hall at Fair Park, or a concert, like Two Corks and a Bottle’s Jazz Escape (also, R. Kelly is performing at Gas Monkey and Juicy J at House of Blues). Perhaps you're spending V-Day with your girls, or yours truly? See JD Miller’s Valentine’s Day Live Painting at Samuel Lynn Galleries, and Fempotential’s Galentine’s Event is this Sunday, benefiting Genesis Women’s Shelter. Also, Hooters is offering free wings to all those who bring a picture of their ex to shred!

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
Which Ranger will find Brady's jersey? By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com At press time, Super Bowl MVP New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady’s game worn jersey was still missing. It is obviously an inside job, as it was stolen from the Patriots locker room. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has asked the Texas Rangers to help in the search for the missing jersey. What makes him think that Cole Hamels or Adrian Beltre can find the missing item better than anyone else? … Amazingly, in an episode of “The Simpsons” five years ago, Matt Groening and his brilliant team of writers predicted that Lady Gaga would do a high-flying halftime show during the Super Bowl. Five years ago! Amazing … Although I am not gaga over Lady Gaga, she did give us a “Million Reasons” why today’s halftime show is must-see TV. And how did she not break an ankle jumping around in those high-heeled boots? Anyway, her performance made me go back and wax nostalgic for the halftime shows of the six Super Bowls that I attended. My first one was in now defunct Stanford Stadium where Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino played in his only Super Bowl, losing to the San Francisco 49ers. Some group named Tops in Blue performed “World of Children’s Dreams.” I guess Up with People was not available. In Pasadena, when the New York Giants played the Denver Broncos, George Burns and Mickey Rooney entertained, and the USC and Grambling State marching bands were featured. I don’t remember a bunch of little children storming that stage. In Miami for the Cincinnati Bengals versus the 49ers — which many considered one of
the best championship games until last Sunday’s tilt — it was a tribute to the 1950s featuring Elvis Presto. I am not kidding. Back to Pasadena for the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills and things really started to rock. Michael Jackson was the headliner. I am sure a bunch of little children stormed that stage. Returning to Miami for the Broncos and Atlanta Falcons, the crowd was wowed by Gloria Estefan and David Mullen Stevie Wonder. The last Super Bowl I attended was in San Diego featuring the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the committee tried to provide all things to all people with Shania Twain, No Doubt and Sting. Like Brady, the play gets better with age … Reminds me that when I was doing the advertising for Hollywood Casino in Tunica, Miss, they featured a lounge act named Shania “Twin.” They could have had a double bill with Elvis Presto ... I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on the Super Bowl commercials, which have such build-up and usually disappoint. Did I see Mr. Clean or John Malkovich, or both? The Snickers live spot was very ambitious, but the Tide spot with Terry Bradshaw really delivered home the brand message. Melissa McCarthy continued her spell over people – why I do not know — scoring the favorite ad on the USA Today Ad Meter. The 84 Lumber ad — driving consumers to their website — had the most direct political message. If you haven’t seen the
William "Bubba" Flint — Special Contributor
ending online, let’s just say that they will not be getting the contract to provide the wood to build the wall along the Mexican border. And while the return of Bud Light’s Spuds MacKenzie was just bizarre, kudos to Dallas-native Sam Schweikert who starred in the dramatic Budweiser ad featuring a young Adolphus Busch migrating to America to make beer. I knew Sam’s late father, who would have been so proud … On Monday, Southern Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão opens in the One Uptown high-rise apartment tower at 2619 McKinney Ave. in Uptown … The end of a career. Al Jarreau, who was due to appear on Friday, March 3 at the Majestic Theater,
has cancelled the show, the rest of his tour and forced to retire. He was a great entertainer with a style of his own … And good things came out of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's visit to Dallas. He hooked up with my friend Tommy Donahue, manager at Milo Butterfingers and a devoted supporter of the Dallas Amputee Network. Donahue was invited to the Facebook campus in the Silicon Valley last week and got to present his annual charity event Legapalooza (June 4 this year at Milo’s) to Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. They seemed sincere in finding a way that Facebook can get involved and make the event even better.
LIFE ON THE TRAIL
What’s your love language? Let me count the ways
By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com
What does love look like? That depends on whom you ask. Love, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. With Valentine’s Day approaching, you may be hoping for a romantic gesture from your significant other. If your partner misses the boat and fails to deliver, you may feel disappointed and perhaps even resentful. After all, if he really loved me, he’d know what I want, right? Well, maybe not. According to author Gary Chapman, there are five love languages that people use to communicate love. Problems may arise when the partners in a romantic relationship have a different primary love language. We often assume Dr. Leermakers that our partner wants the same thing we do, but that may not be the case. Here are Chapman’s five love languages: Words of affirmation. People who value this love language want to hear their partner say “I love you,” “you’re very special,” “you’re so smart/funny/talented,” “I appreciate/respect you so much,” or “you’re the most beautiful (or handsome) woman (man) I’ve ever seen.” If your partner craves words of affirmation, you may
want to brush up on those love sonnets for inspiration. Acts of service. With this love language, actions speak louder than words. My parents aren’t very good at giving emotional support, but they excel at providing practical support. When I have a question about my taxes or need someone to weather-strip my patio door, Dad is on it. So it’s not surprising that I view acts of service as signs of love. A former boyfriend couldn’t say “I love you,” but he drove my new (to me) car 1500 miles from Pennsylvania, where I purchased it, back to Dallas. When my husky needed cataract surgery, my boyfriend was there to give Zane his eye drops or meds every three hours while I was at work. Yes, I could pay someone to do these things, but it sure is nice not to have to do so. Receiving gifts. Some people feel most loved when they get a gift. If your honey is angling for a Valentine’s Day present, just giving her a card (however sentimental) won’t suffice. Pay attention to her not-so-subtle hints about what she wants. A new blender (even a fancy, pricey one) is probably not the right choice. When the gift is coming from you, it’s not just the thought that counts. She expects you to know her well enough to buy her something she’ll love. If she’s been watching her weight, chocolate isn’t a thoughtful gift. Quality time. This love language means giving the other person your undivided attention. His idea of quality time may not be the same as yours. You may want him to listen while you discuss your problems with a coworker without trying to fix them, while
he may be content to just have you be in the same room. A former boyfriend was happiest when I sat next to him on the couch while he watched football. I learned to bring a book and not complain when he fell asleep five minutes into the first quarter. Physical touch. For the person who values this love language, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate touch. This person wants to hold hands, be hugged, and have their feet rubbed. For someone who grew up in a family that wasn’t “touchy-feely,” this may not come naturally. When in doubt, ask. If you and your partner have different love languages, talk about what makes you feel loved and appreciated. Try asking “what can I do to show you how much I love you?” It’s okay to ask for what you need. Try saying “it was so thoughtful of you to buy me flowers. Gifts aren’t always necessary. I’m happy when you (hold my hand/tell me you love me/put gas in the car without me asking).” Dr. Beth Leermakers is a clinical psychologist who specializes in stress management and well-being seminars, retreats and coaching.

OPINION
A tale of two airports defines the metroplex
By Joe Ruzicka
joe.c.ruzicka@gmail.com Three weeks ago, I had to fly for a business trip to Seattle. After a morning wake up time known only to the United States Marine Corps and dairy farmers, I peeled myself out of bed to make the 45-minute trek to DFW International Airport. As I motored around Woodall Rogers Freeway and turned north on Stemmons, my brakes squealed the vehicle to a complete stop. I was in the world’s largest parking lot that is I-35. The orange and white “W” of Whataburger stared back, daring me to park the car and just walk over. My morning trip had gone from annoying to infuriating. At that moment, a revelation hit me. If you have to book domestic air travel out of Dallas, the best option is an easy choice — Dallas Love Field. Dallas’ two major airports, DFW International and Dallas Love Field, have had a love hate relationship over the past 40 years. Before DFW was built in the mid-1970’s, Dallas’ only major airport was Love Field. Primarily known as the last airport where JFK landed as President and the first airport where LBJ took off as President, Love Field rocked along until 1975 when DFW opened to much fanfare. FAA officials felt the smaller Love would not be able to handle the potential air traffic for a growing Metroplex. The
larger sibling offered international flights, gleaming new terminals and a lot more capacity. Dallas Love was left on the sidelines with Southwest Airlines as its only major carrier. More Joe Ruzicka importantly, Love Field was caught in a trap by the Wright Amendment. Fort Worth Congressman Jim Wright (God rest his bushy eyebrows) sponsored a bill to restrict travel from Love Field and other surrounding airports within a certain radius of DFW, to only intrastate or those states immediately bordering Texas. Thus, the Wright Amendment severely limited destination options out of Love. In 2014 the Wright Amendment was repealed, opening Love’s travel destinations to all 50 states and even some international flights. The repeal of Wright made a significant difference for the airport and a return to competitiveness — where convenience and quaintness can sometimes outweigh capacity and variety. Convenience certainly makes a difference for me. The trek out to DFW International is simply painful. The drive is long, and the DART train ride is even longer. Upon entrance to the airport,

drivers are charged a minimum of $2 for wandering around a spaghetti bowl of terminal drop off lanes and parking lots. If left exits are confusing to you and make no sense — get ready for a challenge. The terminals are huge. So huge that a trip to the nearest bathroom from your gate requires a people cart. To be clear, the folks at DFW are attempting to improve the facility with the upgraded terminals, expanded parking and restaurant variety. But as my grandmother would say when she knew someone was trying but not succeeding, I give the DFW folks a “Bless their heart”. Dallas Love Field is located only six miles from downtown. It’s a quick trip from most anywhere in Dallas — meaning I don’t have to wake at first light and you can avoid Stemmons. If I don’t want to drive, I can easily take a $25 dollar Uber.

#SpiritIsAgeless
info@katytrailweekly.com On Saturday, Feb. 18 at 8 p.m., guitarist Al Di Meola - one of the founding fathers of jazz-fusion - comes to the Majestic Theater at 1925 Elm St. This 2017 tour will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his classic 1977 album “Elegant Gypsy” in addition to promoting his latest album “Elysium.” Known for his lightning-quick guitar riffs, improvisational genius as well as for melodic compositions such as “Mediterranean Sundance,” Di Meola has recorded more than 20 albums as a bandleader while collaborating on many others. One of the first to meld traditional jazz with rock and world music styles — especially Latin and flamenco — Di Meola counts among his major influences Astor Piazolla, The Beatles and Chick Corea. He is also especially well known for his acoustic collaboration with Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. The 62-year-old musician describes the current tour as a “joyful experience,” which he chalks up to sharing the road with his wife Stephanie and one-year-old daughter Ava. “[Stephanie] likes to travel,” Di Meola said, in a recent interview with Katy Trail Weekly, “so we are enjoying it now while we can. Once the baby is in school it will be impossible.” Taking full advantage, Di Meola remarked that the “live aspect of music is thriving.” Due in no small part to the ubiquity and seemingly endless availability of music via streaming services on the Internet, fans genuinely seem to value live concerts more. “For the past 15 years, audience
appreciation has gone up, especially in Europe.” Despite positive changes for live performance, Di Meola (performing with his New World Sinfonia band) claimed touring and recording is becoming harder and harder. “People are distracted [by technology]; they're not focused on the music anymore,” Di Meola said. “Before, we all used to be in the sound-booth listening between takes. Now everyone is glued to their phones." It is also no secret that the Internet, while increasing artistic exposure, has created less incentive for fans to purchase music. "It has decimated record sales.” Given the particular difficulties he and many other artists face today, Di Meola doesn’t condone making a career out of music. Aspiring musicians should “find a psychiatrist — or study plastic surgery,” he joked. According to him, one must be prepared to “starve to death” for music. Complications due to hearing loss and tinnitus have also made it difficult for the musician to work. For many years, he focused on playing the acoustic guitar because the volume and distinction of sound was less noisy and more tolerable for his ears. Now, with the 40th anniversary of “Elegant Gypsy,” he is returning to more of his electric repertoire — making due, in spite of his hearing impairments. For U.S. fans, many of whom revere Di Meola for his electric guitar style, the tour will be a special treat, with the show comprising roughly 80 percent electric guitar and 20 percent acoustic.

mustard, this toasted sandwich may be shared but you probably won’t want to. The PB&JK (pork belly, jalapeno aioli and kimchi) brioche sliders are just as imaginative and tempting. There’s a third sandwich option, the Veggie Beet Panini, with a trenchant combination of roasted beet slices, shaved fennel, goat cheese spread and arugula. Delicious! The Nines is as serious about its food and beverages as about the entertainment. During a menu tasting for food and fun writers, burlesque was on the bill. Known as “the founding mother of burlesque in Dallas,” Honey Cocoa Bordeauxx took the stage with fans and tassels twirling. She’s as spicy sweet as the flatbread. Classic burlesque is the featured entertainment on the second Thursday of every month. After the burlesque, we went up to the roof garden where a stunning and lithe aerialist slithered and stretched on a silk trapeze while the rest of us sipped deep, dark, hot chocolate. What an ending! Ready to break out of your fun and food rut? Check out The Nines.

Consider backyard wedding getaway By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com After having the pleasure to host a booth at the Dallas Bridal Show a couple of weeks ago, I felt inspired to put a spin on the remodeling process and discuss backyard weddings. The great thing about backyard weddings is that you get a mild remodel in the process. Or maybe not so mild, depending on the bride’s preferences. Regardless, it’s a great time to get the most out of such an extravagant event, by keeping some of those decorations even after the wedding date. First, if you have a large enough backyard, I highly recommend this as your wedding venue.

candace@candysdirt.com Love Parks? This greenbelt-hugging home is for YOU! Parks, we need more parks. One of our Candace Evans favorite neighborhoods on CandysDirt.com is Greenway Parks, because the neighborhood is so very loaded with green parks and rich green spaces that provide a leafy, pastoral feel while being communal. Greenway is one of the few neighborhoods in town where your home actually backs to a greenbelt. Now and again, there are homes that just jump off the screen, like this Greenway Parks custom contemporary at 5339 Nakoma Drive. Talk about a wow factor. This home wows from front to back, side to side, and up and down. Mark Hayes of Hayes Signature Homes finished building the 4,464-square-foot home in 2016. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a powder bath, it backs up to the coveted Greenway Parks greenbelt. If you’re new to town, or to Greenway Parks, many homes were built around private parkways. Everyone wants a home that has access to these areas. It basically provides more privacy, and an extended yard. “It’s so well thought out,” said listing agent Ryan Strieff with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate. “From the striking elevation to the detailed interior finish-out selections, it’s a home with an excellent floor pan, tailor-made for entertaining. It was a great collaboration between the seller, builder, and architect, Allison Brooks at B2 Architecture + Design.” Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for stunning views from the entire home. And though everything is so very new, there is also some rich old: the seller salvaged hardwood floors from the previous 1947-built house on the property and repurposed them on the ceiling of the study — a very handsome homage to the old house. The family room has beautifully stained, rift cut, white oak cabinetry, a custom fireplace surround of Italian Calacatta Vagli marble and stained maple wood beams. All of this adds up to a very cozy feel despite the open floor plan. The light fixture of hand-blown glass globes was custom made in Dallas. More stained rift cut cabinetry is used in the bar area. A SubZero wine fridge and beverage center that includes a Bosch dishwasher, makes entertaining incredibly easy. That’s Bardiglio and Thassos marble hexagons making up the backsplash. One of our favorite spots is the kitchen. You rarely see a range with a view. That is a bit of builder brilliance indeed. It’s generally the sink that gets a view, but you spend way more time cooking, and it’s nice to see the clever placement here of the gas range cook top. There are also electric double ovens, an

We really love the built-in banquette — a great spot for offering advice for the cook as you sip your cocktail. Those sleek cabinets make our hearts skip a beat. They are Rehau high-gloss polymer acrylic, crafted in Germany, and they are delicious. The door off the kitchen leads to a lovely covered patio. There’s a secondary living area and four bedrooms upstairs, including the master, which allows for a great deal more privacy. Vaulted ceilings and enormous sliding doors, leading to a balcony create a true tree-top sanctuary that overlooks the greenbelt. But wait there’s more! “The master bathroom is just exceptional,” Streiff said. Linac marble was custom cut to create a chevron pattern on the shower walls and behind the soaking tub — a real showstopper. The tile floor is imported from Spain. There’s a steam shower and remote control sheer window treatments. If there were a wine fridge, we could stay here all day.

Always make sure to build a back door for each bird house which allows you to peek in and clean out the nest when your birds are done nesting. Many species can have more than one brood per year. For example, bluebirds can have up to three broods per season and may use the same nest or build another. If you are mounting your bird house to a smooth tree or pole, always consider adding a snake screen. The snake screen is a simple piece of metal or wire fencing to discourage snakes from preying on young nesting chicks or eggs. Natural nest cavities and bird habitats have been disappearing for years due to human encroachment. Providing an alternative source for birds to nest in can help species survive the impact of humans. Wood duck populations were once on the brink of extinction due to over
YOUR STARS THIS WEEK by Stella Wilder
The coming week will require the majority of individuals to commune more deeply and in greater detail with certain friends, loved ones or business partners to maximize the odds of success and keep things moving forward at a pace that can produce measurable gains. In cases where the established relationship is strained, the work can become rather tempestuous — cool heads may not always prevail! In other situations, those who have had little to say in the past may come up with just the right idea at the right time, providing everyone involved with an outlet for creativity, productivity and satisfaction. All must be warned, however: Too much attention paid to the purse strings will skew efforts and make real success a difficult thing to achieve. At times, someone else does indeed know more and can illuminate the difficult issues to make them more accessible and solvable. Those who are able to acknowledge this, at the right times and in the right places, will have the advantage. One doesn't have to be in charge in order to win! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Beware the emotional undertow that threatens to pull you back to another time when things were not as favorable as they are now! (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – If it's redemption you're after, you may surely have it — but only if you're willing and able to look at yourself through an unclouded lens.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Your position will afford you a more inclusive, panoramic view of what lies ahead. This can be helpful to others, as well. (March 6-March 20) – It's time once more to think outside the box. Your native creativity is something that others will want to take advantage of in unusual ways. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Don't be bashful; feel free to envelop another in the warm embrace of your better angels. Things go deeper than you expect. (April 5-April 19) – Now is not the time to follow in another's footsteps, even if you've been told you should. The pathway you forge for yourself is best. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may become quickly disenchanted with things as you have arranged them, but you are allowed to make any changes you desire. (May 6-May 20) – The tangled web you've woven over the past few days or weeks can only be undone by someone who knows you better than you know yourself, and you have an idea who this is! GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Avoid any cursory appreciation of that which you proclaim to enjoy. Feel free to savor what comes your way, in any way you like. (June 7-June 20) – A friend or loved one may be unusually
combative as the week opens, but your honest, gentle approach proves beneficial to all who encounter him or her. CANCER (June 21-July 7) Someone is attempting to see through you in some way, and you'll be aware of his or her constant, penetrating gaze — be it literal or figurative. (July 8-July 22) – You'll have the opportunity to eliminate virtually all negative expressions from your lexicon, so positive is the overall outlook. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Are you sure the time is right for you to resume what you interrupted for the sake of another? He or she may not be fully integrated. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Examine closely the gap between where you are and where you wish to be. Make no assumptions about what you should or should not do! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You are curious about the origin of certain deep-seated feelings or fears, but are you ready to take an honest look at catalytic events? (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Another's apparent faults are not likely to seem so severe when chewed, swallowed and digested. You must be fair when all is said and done.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ is full of bullets, blood and brawny Reeves By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
The average movie theater can hold 200 to 300 people. If everyone tracked the body count in “John Wick: Chapter 2,” it would take about an hour before they all ran out of fingers and toes. This go for broke, ramped up to 11, ultra-violent sequel to 2014’s cult favorite “John Wick” is a two-hour blur of bullets, blood and Keanu Reeves as smolderingly cool as he’s ever been. The first installment of this future trilogy introduced us to John Wick (Reeves), a retired hit man who took out an entire New YorkRussian crime family because one of them stole his car and killed his puppy. “Chapter 2” begins with the always fantastic Peter Stormare as another Russian mobster summarizing that as John systematically destroys his chop shop. This opening sequence is just a taste of what’s to follow, and the stunt driving is dizzying. From there, the movie begins to set up a mythology that involves a worldwide syndicate of hit men. One of them, Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), helped John leave the hit man life to be with his now deceased wife (Bridget Moynahan, seen only in flashbacks) and John owes him a “blood oath.” Needless to say, things do not go well when John rejects his request. After checking in with Winston (a brilliant Ian McShane), John realizes he has no choice and must do Santino’s bidding. The job takes him to Rome, where he must assassinate Santino’s sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini), who is set to take a seat

Keanu Reeves stars in “John Wick: Chapter 2.” on what is essentially Earth’s hit man board of directors. Since nothing is easy for John, he eventually finds himself with a $7 million bounty on his head and every assassin on the planet hunting him down. His return to New York finds John under constant attack from every angle and features some very unique ways in which he dispatches his attackers. Among those attackers is Cassian (Common), who is Gianna’s chief bodyguard. A sequence that takes place on a subway platform is
equal parts intense and subtly hilarious as these two men try to murder each other in inconspicuous ways. The hand-to-hand combat that occurs in a cramped subway car is visceral and the stunt work from Reeves and Common is impeccable. There’s no doubt that director Chad Stahelski wanted to ramp up not only the action, but also the world building. The script from Derek Kolstad has turned John Wick into a global man of action and this seedy underbelly of worldwide assassins he and Stahelski have created has given a character previously hellbent only
on revenge a fully fleshed out sandbox to play in. The coolest aspect of “Chapter 2” is that you are never lost in the action. Whether it takes place in a New York museum or in the catacombs beneath Rome, there’s never a loss of geography. The close ups of the action clearly show Reeves is doing the majority of the stunt work, only making the work of this now 52-year-old actor that much more impressive. Look, Keanu Reeves is probably never going to win an Oscar. He’ll never be regarded as an actor that easily pivots from action megastar to thought-provoking drama. However, there simply are not many actors that can pull off the suave coolness required to play a hitman that audiences feel sympathy towards. As John Wick, he’s a man of few words, but Reeves’ steely-eyed growl gives those words conviction and his portrayal of a once evil man with newfound purpose gives him the role he was born to play. A few other actors such as John Leguizamo and Laurence Fishburne pop up to offer some comic relief. Also, Ruby Rose is fantastic as a mute killer that follows John around the world to make sure he fulfills his “blood oath.” “John Wick: Chapter 2” is an unashamed action banger that is a complete blast to watch. Even the preposterous moments are excusable simply because it’s all created to perfection. This is perhaps one of the most violent movies ever made, but because Reeves portrays John so perfectly, it’s total fun. And don’t worry. All puppy dogs make it out unscathed in the end.

better than their 2015 last-second win over the Seattle Seahawks.

That’s significantly more than the 2,443,428 viewers for last year’s Denver Broncos win over the Carolina Panthers. The 2015 Super Bowl
was a bigger draw than both of them, amassing 2,740,782 viewers. And 2011’s Super Bowl XLV in Jerry’s Palace, preceded by a week’s worth of freezing, icy, snowy weather, outdid them all with 2,791,057 viewers for the Green Bay Packers’ narrow win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Our five issue areas include education, affordable housing, public safety, public health and economic development.
Q H ow many clients are served each year?
A With the help of our Board of Directors, dedicated staff and more than 800 volunteers, we serve more than 1,100 individuals annually.
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the calendar?
A Jubilee is thrilled to celebrate its 20th anniversary
with a gala on the evening of Nov. 4 at the Omni Hotel. We’ve never done a big fundraiser before, and we hope everyone will join us! For information on sponsorships, table pricing, and ticket purchases, contact us at 214-887-1364 x 255 or donate@jubileecenter.org.

Treatments for hip arthritis By Dr. Don Hohman dhohman@gdortho.com
When non-surgical treatments for hip arthritis fail, you and your doctor may consider surgery. Learn about which surgical options are optimal for treating osteoDr. Hohman arthritis in your hip. Arthroscopy. Hip arthroscopy is usually an outpatient procedure to repair torn cartilage and to remove extra bone that occurs in the very earliest stages of osteoarthritis. The surgeon uses small stab incisions around the hip to allow for insertion of a tiny camera called an arthroscope. For patients more than 40 years of age, there are rare circumstances that would require arthroscopy. Osteotomy. Femoral and acetabular osteotomy surgery involves cutting the bone to reorient your hip joint when your hip has structural abnormalities. It is extensive surgery that requires the insertion of plates and screws to fix the bone while it heals. It requires inpatient hospitalization for several days, and recovery usually takes six to 12 weeks. Hip resurfacing. Hip resurfacing is a type of hip replacement that is usually reserved for young, active males. It is a metal-on-metal device where the hip ball is capped. It usually requires inpatient hospitaliza-
tion for several days, and recovery usually takes six to 12 weeks. This procedure has recently fallen out of favor, and there are few circumstances where it would be required. Total Hip Replacement. Total hip replacement (THR) is the gold standard for treating your disabling hip pain. Circumstances that indicate the necessity of THR occur in individuals of all ages, sexes and activity levels. It is best to have THR after you turn the age of 60 because of the risk of having to undergo surgery again due to mechanical failure after 15 to 20 years. It can be performed through various approaches (front, back, side) with various implant designs. Currently the most common designs are made out of titanium with metal heads against the newest plastics. It can be extensive surgery that may require inpatient hospitalization for one to three days, and recovery usually takes six to 12 weeks. The latest in pain management and minimally invasive surgery have shortened the hospitalization for total hips to as little as 23 hours after surgery for some patients. Donald Hohman, MD, is a fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in joint replacements of the hip and knee. He completed his specialty training at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital of the Harvard Medical School-Boston, Mass. If you have any further questions please feel free to utilize the educational material provided on the website gdortho. com, or his office can be reached at 214-252-7039.
SOLUTION TO THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A When I first started working at Jubilee I thought I
would be the one teaching others how to improve and transform their lives, but what I soon realized is that this community has taught me more about myself than I ever could have imagined. I am blessed beyond measure that families in our community welcome me in to their lives and homes every day. I have learned to love and trust people like I never thought I would. I have been reminded that building bonds and collaboration are the keys to success, which is done through love and respect. We always say that Jubilee transforms lives, but I can truly say that Jubilee has touched and transformed my life for the better.
QW hat does the future hold for your nonprofit?
A We are entering our 20th anniversary year, and are
looking forward to the next two decades of community impact. We hope to add increased services for students with special learning needs through our gala in November, and to offer mental healthcare through an upcoming partnership. With our community’s help and our corps of committed volunteers, anything is possible at Jubilee.
Ben Leal, CEO, answered this week’s questions.

MULL IT OVER
Greatness on display last Sunday By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com Even though the National Football League strives for parity among teams, it is reassuring to have a few certainties mixed in with some surprises. It helped pro football when the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders returned to their winning ways. Fans expect the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and Green Bay Packers to play competitively every year. Most recently, the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans are expected to produce. And it is exciting to see a high-powered offense like the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons emerge. But despite a season of twists and turns, a few things became very evident on Super Bowl Sunday. New England Patriots Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of all time. And the Patriots are the greatest Super Bowl champions of all time. So many fans — including me — were on the Atlanta bandwagon for a number of reasons. Some were turned off by Deflategate, Belichick’s antics and lack of personality, once humble owner Robert Kraft now turned pompous executive or Tom Brady’s fame. Some wanted a change at the top, and the Falcons were an exciting alternative led by rising star Matt Ryan. And some had bet on the Falcons. With 2:06 left in the third quarter of Super Bowl LI, it appeared that we were watching the end of an era.

Beginner’s guide to fitness
By Turner Cavender turner@dallasfbbc.com
You look in the mirror and wonder to yourself: how did I let myself go this far? Whether you are brand new to fitness, or you’ve simply fallen out of shape recently, here is the quick beginner’s guide to get you back on track quickly. Change your in-front-of-the-mirror thought bubble to: “Wow, I’m looking amazing!” Read on and take the action steps below. Start with motivation: Why do you want to get fit again? There must be a reason that you desire to change your body at this time in your life. Think about it until you have a very clear, very specific reason. There is no wrong answer here. We all have our own personal motivators for wanting to achieve our best selves. What’s ultimately important is that your reason is specific and powerful to you. Once you’ve determined what your motivation is, write it down where you can see it every day. Think about it. Focus on it. Don’t ever let go of it. Work on education: You need to eat right and workout smart in order to quickly achieve your goal body. Do you know how to do this? Are you sure? While there is more information on fitness available to us today than ever before, all of the information noise often gets in the way more than it helps. Don’t expect to know exactly how to get into shape by yourself.
A successful body transformation plan should be made by a fitness professional, like myself. I’ll take your personal information into account and will answer any and all questions to ensure your success. Seek out support: It’s time to have an honest and vulnerable conversation with the people in your life who Turner Cavender matter the most. Let them know how far you’ve let yourself go. Let them know what your goal is. Let them know why this matters so much to you. Your success rate depends heavily on the support system that you build around yourself as you begin to implement healthy lifestyle changes. It’s very possible that you’ll find one or more people in your life who are threatened by your desire to improve your body. While this can be upsetting, try to approach it with understanding. The best scenario would be that they join you. Please feel free to call or email me to get started on your body transformation. Let me be your support system! Turner Cavender, CPT, is owner of Dallas Fit Body Boot Camp and world renowned online personal trainer at cavendercoaching. com. “Remember J.A.M.O.D.I., Just a matter of doing it.”

Simply know that this is way more sophisticated than Jack’s first Ford flathead, delivering 467 horsepower (at 7100 rpm) and 389 lb-ft of torque. That power is delivered to the rear wheels via an 8-speed Sport Direct Shift automatic with — of course — paddle shift and manual mode.

You overtake traffic in a nanosecond, and the available levels of reserve power — to be honest — are fully class competitive, if not class leading. At a base price of roughly $65K (with destination) the RC F seems like a bit of a steal. With almost $15K of add-ons, our test car it’s perhaps less compelling, but in most instances the competition — be it BWW’s M4 or Chevy’s amped-up C7 — will require a similar investment. For those that like the sheet metal this Lexus delivers a confidence (and competence) you won’t find on many other showrooms.

Chili-heads compete in Terlingua By Jo Ann Holt

Besides chili, to attend the Terlingua contestants could Chili Cook-off, which enter salsa, buffalo turns the southwest Jo Ann Holt hot wings or beans Texas Ghost Town competitions. into a three-ring circus The “Original every November.

The two cook-offs was asked to be a judge for the each celebrated a 50th anniversemi-finals. The first thing we sary in 2016. People flocked to learned is there are actually two both from all walks of life, each competitions. CASI’s Terlingua claiming theirs the only “real” International Championship event.

tents. For one $40 gate fee they could stay for just a day, or all week. A diverse array of contestants, family and friends, came from all over the world. So did others who just wanted to hang out, drink adult beverages and hear music. Country headliners like Casey Pilgreen, Larry Joe Taylor and Prophets and Outlaws played the main stage. Blue Kountry Band performed at the after-party at Krazy Flats. The most festive part of the CASI chili competition came shortly before Saturday’s judging. The showmanship competition provided a lively carnival atmosphere where teams performed skits or songs, read fortunes or played games for prizes. Teams like the Swamp Critters and the Dixie Chili Chicks won my vote for

showmanship. After my husband helped judge the semi-finals, he said it was difficult to pick finalists. By the time the bowls of red (no beans) reached him, they were all tasty. While the Terlingua Chili Cook-off is a great reason to head south, it’s certainly not the only one. We plan to return when there is more time to experience the Big Bend State Park, Big Bend National Park and other Brewster County attractions. Terlingua is about 30 miles from Big Bend National Park, with the Rio Grande River serving as a boundary between Texas and Mexico. We drove down in a 2016 Ford F-150 crew cab, which proved its worth (in spite of not getting great fuel economy) when we encountered a
rainstorm outside Terlingua. The sudden storm produced gully washers that would have swallowed a smaller vehicle. It’s not easy to get there from North Texas. Or from most anyplace else, unless you’re wealthy or influential enough to have a private airplane. Thanks to the owners of the deluxe Lajitas Golf Resort, there is an airport at nearby Lajitas. We spent three days at that resort, with its spacious Western-themed rooms, great food and famous golf course overlooking the Rio Grande. They also have an Equestrian center and other activities that celebrate Cowboy culture. The Mayor of Lajitas is a goat named Clay Henry. We stopped at his pen to bribe him with some peanut butter crackers, hoping
he will invite us back again. An Amtrak train stops in Alpine, about 100 miles to the north. The Lajitas Golf Resort also has charter planes and buses that bring people to their resort from various Texas cities. Or you can drive, like we did, about 10 1/2 hours (almost nonstop) from Dallas. The closest commercial airports are in El Paso or San Antonio, where you can pick up a rental to drive either 4 1/2 hours or 6 1/2 hours to Terlingua. If you go, plan to stay longer than we did. Three days is not enough time to experience all the adventures Brewster County has to offer. A week would be better, and far more restful for the driver.
