Extension of trolley appears back on track
By Michael Tate
mjt0004@yahoo.com The Knox-Henderson Trolley is the little train that could. Or maybe couldn’t. Nonetheless, it keeps on trying. And if the North Central Texas Council of Governments (COG) approves a $1 million request for a feasibility study, and that study reveals the project is viable, a MATA trolley may be carrying you from Blackburn Street to Javier's Restaurant. District 14 Councilman Philip Kingston and District 11 Councilman Lee Kleinman, who also serves as chairman of the council's Transportation
and Trinity River Project Committee, made that request to the COG for the study. And just like that, a project that had slowed to a crawl was back on the tracks. The group most surprised by that announcement is that resolute trio of neighbors who began pushing the trolley idea months ago. Michael Koler, Siobhan Winfrey and Austin Rucker have played the long game for over a year. If patience is a virtue, then this is a virtuous trio. They recognize this puzzle will take a while to put together. Koler, the trio’s Zen spirit, is enlightening on their staying power.

FAIR PARK
Faux 'Fab Four' has ‘Hard Days’ Night’ at DSM
By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
Imagine listening to the music of The Beatles and letting it take you on a magical mystery tour to the timeless aura of the Music Hall at Fair Park. You might feel compelled to get up to twist and shout. That’s what the opening night audience of “Let it Be” (LIB) did, along with waving cell phone flashlights with swaying hands. Running through Sunday, March 19 at the Music Hall, the tour then stops for performances at Ft. Worth’s Bass Performance Hall March 21- 26. If you had the pleasure of seeing DSM’s productions of “Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles” in 2012 or 2014, you know it is literally a hard act to follow. In contrast to “Rain’s” ability to engage the audience from the first note, there was never a warm connection between LIB patrons and John
Lennon (portrayed by Michael Gagliano), Paul McCartney (Neil Candelora), George Harrison (JT Curtis) and Ringo Starr (Chris McBurney). The artists’ few attempts to reach out to first row patrons seemed scripted, not spontaneous. It didn’t really work. The swell of high energy performance by “Rain” that left you breathless isn’t there. The faux mop tops don’t work the stage, but their vocals are excellent. But the group’s combined personality was what you might expect in a high school talent show. Their guitar work however, is exceptional, as is “Ringo’s” percussion. The stage is simply set with a bandstand and, on each side, a facsimile of an old-fashioned, black and white TV and radio. Actual black and white footage of Beatles concerts runs continually, along with clips of other Beatles performances and real time footage of the LIB
production. Psychedelic and strobe lighting was a good thought, but in execution it was slow, not rhythmical, and as fresh as a lava lamp. A couple of costume changes indicate the passage of time through hairstyles and clothing styles, with the colorful, bright Sgt. Pepper’s costumes being a visual feast. The group deviated from the original Photo by Paul Coltas arrangements with some harmonies, but Neil Candelora as Paul McCartney. most didn’t work.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
The customer (I don’t) care dept.
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com I opened my door the other day to find a relic on my porch. Not a Radio Flyer wagon, a transistor radio or a case of Bireley's Orange Drink, but this did evoke memories of my youth. Resting in a plastic bag and looking rather thin was the March 2017 Yellow Pages. I didn’t think they made those anymore. I thought that the book was now called the internet. I used to look forward to the cover of the Yellow Pages — and the White Pages for that matter — featuring a panoramic view of a city, a visual “shoutout” to a local sports team or kids running in a park. Today, the cover is an ad from an accident and injury lawyer. In fact, the book is full of similar ads. I guess it is cheaper than running ads on daytime TV … And speaking of, why is the most time one ever spends on the phone with the phone company? Late last week, I had to call the customer (I don’t) care department at the largest phone company in the world headquartered here in Dallas. I spent
47:12 on the phone trying to find out why I never received the $200 gift card promised David Mullen me when I bundled all my services. Of course, they (after numerous redirects) had no solution except to say that the promotion is over, the card would have expired by now anyway and there is nothing they could do. “Have a nice day.” Which reminds me, every time you call a complaint department, the voice on the other end always asks “So how is your day going?” That makes me even madder. “How do you think it is going? I am talking to you instead of watching ‘The Price is Right!’” But it is not over… On Monday, I got an email from the largest phone company in the world headquartered here in Dallas informing me that my bill is past due. I use online banking and had sent my payment in on March 6. I had a receipt from the bank. Did the phone company believe me? Of
course not. In fact, they informed me that no matter what, I was being charged a late fee and that I was a bad, irresponsible, baby-hating person for doubting the phone behemoth. Furious, I hung up, called my bank, explained my situation and they said it was received by the phone company on March 7. I called the phone company back after having to scream “REPRESENTATIVE!!!” at the top of my lungs several times to a recorded prompter. Finally, I got to a supervisor that — while not admitting any wrongdoing by Ma (Barker) Bell — told me that if I emailed proof of payment from my bank, they would consider my case. Having nowhere else to turn, I have decided to learn Morse code . . . BTW, to find out why my computer would not make a PDF of the proof of payment, I spent 54:37 on the phone Monday night with the largest software company in the world based in Redman, Wash. trying to find out why. But that is another story … District 30 Gastropub is now open at 3211 Oak Lawn Ave. That location has been several Asian places and once housed

Cyclone Anaya’s … Good time Thursday night in Deep Ellum. Sampled flavors from Europe and the Middle East at Amsterdam Falafel Shop (open until 3 a.m. on weekends) and then visited Dot’s, the super cool beer garden right in the heart of Commerce Street … Strange mailings this week. I received a postcard that read in huge red letters “Physicians ER on Oak Lawn Avenue has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.”
The message was on both sides. No return address. No mention of the company that sent the card. It was addressed to “Local Postal Customer.” As of Monday night, the ER — located between Lemmon Avenue and Blackburn Street — was still open 24 hours . . . And president and CEO Brian Quigley of U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company sent out a letter responding to a recent recall of their Skoal Bandits product. Eight tins were
found with “a single, large metal object in their cans of dip,” prompting a recall of millions of cans. But here is the funny part. A 3” X 8” banner below the letter read “WARNING: This product can cause mouth cancer.” And below the banner was a coupon for $2 off two cans of any style of Skoal . . . My ears, shoulder and back hurt from being on the phone so much, I think I will sue. If I could only find an injury attorney.

even slower. Of course, we can’t give short shrift to the loud talkers who like to give everyone else the gory details of their life within a 25-yard radius. No one really needs or wants to hear your personal conversation. Particularly on things like how the divorce proceedings are going or why last night was an “amazing experience.” Give your fellow humans a break. One-sided conversations are really distracting, especially to those who are stuck in your personal shout zone. Take the conversation to a more private area, learn to text, or just hang up and call back later. But maybe the most annoying breach of cell phone etiquette is constantly checking your phone while having an in-person conversation with someone. Hey, I will admit I am guilty of this at times and it is incredibly rude. But I try to keep my phone usage to a minimum while in front of another person. I eventually end up turning the phone off and working hard to devote 100 percent of my attention to the person across from me. This is the only respectable and proper thing to do. Those interrupting texts can probably wait. If you can’t stay away from the phone, maybe you should go out to lunch with your text buddy and emoticon your conversation to each other. So I would like to shout this down — complete with five full bars — from my gleaming cellular tower mountaintop. Put your phone down. Look up when driving. Have a real conversation, not a distracted, interrupted and rude tête-à-tête. Observe the world around you with class and keep your cell phone courtesy in order. Oh, and “Ms. Multi Tasking Lady” with the phone up to your ear once again holding up the checkout line … can you hear me now?
I am tired of people who have no cell phone etiquette. The other day I was behind a lady in the checkout line who Joe Ruzicka is the epitome of what I am talking about. She was on the phone trying to do three things at once: talk to a person on the other end of the line, fumble in her purse for her credit card and load groceries into her cart. As the multi-tasking progressed, she continued to be unsuccessful at all three. “Can you hear me, hello? Hello? Can you hear me?” she repeated as her half bar of cellular coverage strained the conversation and the patience of those in line behind her. It was a situation we have seen all too often in our society. The hijacking of everyone else’s time coupled with the insolent idea that your personal cell phone activity is way more important than anything we have going on. The cardinal rule broken here: avoid using your phone when it requires multi-tasking that also involves interacting with other humans. At best, you inadvertently delay everyone around you. At worst you are bound to piss at least one person off. But it’s probably more likely somewhere in the neighborhood of three. Or maybe 10. In reality, the only thing you will do well beyond that is nothing at all. The same goes for people who think it is OK to incessantly check their phone at every red light. The seven-second delay has become ubiquitous. This is the time between a green light and when a person hits their accelerator after looking up from their phone. By my scientific estimation, the intersection of Mockingbird Lane and Preston Road has this happen about 217 Joe Ruzicka is a retired Naval Aviator times a day.

'A-tisket, a-tasket, time to fill your bracket'
By David Mullen
“Brackets? We ain't got no brackets. We don't need no brackets. I don't have to show you any stinkin' brackets!" With all due respect to “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” badges are out. Brackets are in. As if we don’t have enough on our plates this month. With the IRS forcing us to file one of the most uncompromising and unyielding forms known to Americans (and their tax accountants), we are also forced to fill out our 2017 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championship brackets. It is un-American not to file a bracket. March Madness is upon us and it consumes us. It is the biggest season for sportsbooks in Nevada and bookies around the country. For bettors and those that take bets, March Madness is bigger than the Super Bowl. Estimates vary, but the American Gaming Association says $10.4 billion will be wagered on the threeweek tournament and less than $300 million of it legally. An estimated 70 million brackets will be filled out at offices, bars and online. Only the presidential election has more people turning in ballots. So let me tell you what teams I am leaning on this year, although I probably have a better chance just betting on teams whose uniforms I like. That eliminates Baylor and Oregon. EAST REGION (all numbers used are based on regional seeding): Villanova (1) is currently the number one ranked team in the latest AP poll and deservedly so. They are the defending national champions. But the road to the Final Four will be a challenge. After a cakewalk over Mount St. Mary’s (16), they have potential matchups with Wisconsin (8), Florida (4) or Virginia (5). Not going to happen. I think that East Tennessee State (13) upsets Florida, and high powered UNC Wilmington (12) stuns Virginia. Conventional wisdom says that Villanova will

WEST REGION: Gonzaga (1) spent a lot of time atop the polls this season and deserved a top seed. They have two obstacles to climb. They must beat Notre Dame. Free throw shooting is at a premium, and as a team Notre Dame shoots more than 81 percent. A fashionable choice from the region is Arizona (2). They are hot, had just two conference losses and were Pac-12 champions. I think a precision team like the Zags can be outrun. I’ll take Arizona. MIDWEST REGION: This may be the weakest region. Kansas (1) really must beat themselves not to go to the “Big Dance.” They are not deep, but they are very good despite a loss to TCU in the Big 12 tournament. The loss gave Kansas more time to rest up. Who puts stock in conference tournaments anyway? Obviously, the NCAA doesn’t (see SMU’s seeding). Purdue (4), Louisville (2) and Oregon (3) pose the biggest challenges. I don’t think Louisville gets to the regional finals, being outgunned by Oregon. But Kansas is still the choice here. SOUTH REGION: This is a powerhouse region with so many teams out to prove their worth. North Carolina (1) had to listen to doubters saying that Duke deserved a number one seed
out of the ACC. But to make the Final Four, they must get past some combination of Kentucky (2), UCLA (3), Butler (4) and a very underrated Wichita State (10) looking to shock the world. (Sorry about that.) This region should go pretty much as forecast, although Kentucky will have plenty to deal with in the Shockers. I see UCLA beating North Carolina in the regional finals and heading to the Final Four. FINAL FOUR: It may look like my Final Four is top heavy with teams out west. Memo to all the East Coast college basketball fans. There is very good basketball being played west of the Rockies. Villanova will play Arizona in what will be a virtual home game for the Wildcats (Arizona, that is). Tucson is less than two hours by car from Phoenix (Glendale), home of the Final Four. But Villanova is disciplined and will exploit the Arizona defense. Plus the Wildcats (Villanova, that is) can shoot pressure free throws. UCLA are amongst the best scoring teams in the country and will fast break Kansas to defeat. The Bruins go to the championship. NATIONAL CHAMPIONS: In a year where several teams occupied the number one ranking, Villanova will defend their crown with an 88-83 victory over UCLA. Now isn’t March Madness more fun that the IRS imposed April Aggravation?
UPTOWN GIRL
When bacon met beer, we found love By Ryann Gordon
ryannbgordon@yahoo.com They’re the two things the men in our lives have always dreamt of being brought together. The two manliest, unhealthiest, nutritionally pointless delicacies that Americans Ryann Gordon just can’t seem to get over, despite how much they might weigh us down. You can attribute dad’s belly to them … and grandpa’s … probably even your brother’s by now. Yet you still indulge … and indulge you will do! Get ready for two of our greatest joys in life to join in holy matrimony. I’m talking about the cool, refreshing brew that has warmed our hearts since before our grandparents’ time. I’m talkin’ beer y’all. Paired with a nice, juicy, bubbling side of … wait for it … bacon! Oh, yes. Our favorite porky treat is taking on a new form. This Saturday, March 18 is the Foundry for Dallas’ first ever Bacon and Beer Classic. Get ready to literally pig out as you indulge on endless strips of bacon and sample more than 50 local beers (if you can get to all of them, that is). And it’s lasting throughout the day, from noon to 11 p.m. So, whether you’re a night owl or an afternoon gal, at least we can agree on one thing. Beer and bacon. Let’s go. So, let’s start with the beer. It’s time to embrace your inner beer snob as you attempt to successfully sample all 50+ of the chosen local brews. Sip on favorites from local breweries like Deep Ellum, Texas Ale Project, Peticolas and Oak Highlands while you munch on sweet, maple-roasted protein. Then don’t forget to sample various other brews that you might not have tried yet, from regional breweries like Legal Draft, 903 Brewers and Coop Ale Works (also while munching on sweet, juicy strips of deliciousness). Get your taste buds ready to savor all the flavors you adore: delectable stouts, bitter pale ales, crisp ciders and sweet, sweet sips of bacon. Okay, let’s get to the point. We want the bacon! Luckily for us bacon lovers, this is what every food item offered at the event will be centered around. Not only will you have access to limitless strips of fresh, crispy strips of good, old fashioned

Beer and bacon is a match made in hog heaven. pork behind, but local chefs and restaurants will have prepared a plethora of bacon-infused dishes. And although we don’t know yet what Dallas’ local food gurus will bring to the table, past dishes have included items like bacon-tortilla quesadillas, porky peanut-butter-and-jelly, breakfast pizza with bacon and egg, pork ramen and a mouthwatering candied bacon cinnamon roll burger with fried egg that just about brought me to my knees from the picture alone. So, we all know that every meal tastes better infused or topped with that salty-sweet, powerfully alluring, tender yet hearty slice of piggy heaven. We know that every meal also tastes better alongside a crisp, refreshing craft beer. And what could make this even better? Party games my friend. Aside from bacon and beer, did I mention the endless games as well? Drink beer and get full while you play giant Jenga, compete in bungee races and brand each other with bacon and beer themed tattoos. Battle it out in an eating competition to show dad who the real “baconator” is. Then you can dance it all off after alongside live music that’ll make for a full-on party. Embrace your inner child and indulge your senses for the day. Acting like a kid is way more fun when you mature your palette with fine, craft brews as you channel the bacon-loving child you once were. I think we can all agree, that’s one part of our youthful innocence we never lost — and didn’t want to.

Calvin Scott Roberts has it going on in Theatre Three’s (T3) current production of the 2008 Tony-award winning “Passing Strange,” running through March 26. Nominated in 2008 for six and winner of the Tony for Best Book of a Musical (awarded to musician Mark “Stew” Stewart), “Passing Strange” is an insightful, surprising story about coming of age in a complicated world. It captures your attention from the first note and doesn’t let go until after the bows, when you’re still in your seat trying to process. It’s immediately tempting to see it again. Singer, songwriter, musician and playwright, Stew tells a semi-autobiographical story set in 1976 of an AfricanAmerican teenager from South Central Los Angeles named Youth, who is being raised by his single mother. As the mother, Nikka Morton Morton made her professional theater debut at T3 as a 13-year-old in “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.” She is a warm, encouraging and loving mother with a voice from heaven. Roberts owns the stage as the narrator, but not like a stiff, scripted narrator. Rather, he covers every square inch of the stage with his smooth vocals and accompanying guitar, moving along the story while adding to its richness. His movement is also smooth as he turns up over here, over there and back again. Theatre Too (T2) patrons who saw the latest, refreshed rendition of “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” directed by B.J. Cleveland, had lots of belly laughs with Roberts as an inmate, looking dashing in orange as he led a singles support group “on the inside.” For that

Calvin Scott Roberts rocks Theatre Three stage in “Passing Strange” through March 26. sketch, the phrase “Rolling in the aisles” was written. Also rocking the theatre is musical director Pam Holcomb-McLain. The show epitomizes the use of “theater-in-the-round” efficiently and effectively. Not only does Holcomb-McLain tear up the keyboard, but she is a musical “triple-threat” who also directs the band and performs occasional vocals. She does all this from a “pit” surrounded by angular runways and steps, all covered with Persian rugs. Holcomb-McLain said she finds all her roles in this piece completely satisfying. Set designer David Walsh created a visual, functional maze. Along with that maze, a cloudy haze drops over Lincoln Apeland, who is gifted at the acoustic guitar, as are Randy Linberg on drums, Brian Coleman on percussion and Peggy Honea on bass. The score and its vocals are major stars of the ensemble. It’s a mash-up of jazz, rap, lyrical ballads with some rhythm and blues with a rock beat steering all the genres. Playing Youth, Darren McElroy’s role looks exhausting, but he’s up to it and then some. The handsome actor has appeared over the last few
years in T3’s productions of “Memphis,” “Hot Mikado” and “A Civil War Christmas.” A discovery awaits patrons about the relationship between Youth and the narrator. According to Roberts, it is incredibly satisfying to be a part of this show and its amazing cast. “I’m humbled to have been directed by the amazing Vickie Washington and to share the stage with some of the best talent in town. “Vickie’s direction was very detailed and specific,” Roberts said. “The piece is very personal to me and there are personal parallels I have with the story Stew has written for us, so I am able to connect deeply to the material. “Vickie was a catalyst in bringing that out,” Roberts added. “I think everyone should see this show. It’s a story that most people can identify with in some way. We have all struggled with finding ourselves in some way or another and have ultimately learned the lesson or are still learning it. “Passing Strange” helps us accept that either is okay.” The edgy, ensemble show will run at T3 through March 26.

Deep Ellum’s Monkey King Noodle Co. (MKNC) started as a simple noodle stand, with window service and no seating. They recently expanded to larger digs, keeping the counter service intact, but now customers can sit at tables to enjoy their noodles (or dumplings or wontons). (The tables, by the way, are from Luscher’s Red Hots, which closed in December 2016.) The noodles are made onsite, stretched by hand, which gives them a springy, more resilient texture than machine-made noodles.

Smart houses use solar energy By Stephan Sardone

candace@candysdirt.com Say goodbye to another Dallas icon. The home of the late Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Candace Evans Dallas-based Mary Kay Inc., is being torn down as we speak, at 8915 Douglas Ave. The 11,874-square-foot mansion, in the honey pot Old Preston Hollow, was built in 1984. The Dallas Central Appraisal District has the home valued at $1.91 million, interesting because it was sold for $1.85 million. Its condition is listed as “very poor.” And it’s obvious the house has not been loved in a long time. Shrubbery is to be maintained so as to not to disturb the neighbors. “It was dilapidated inside, and it’s really sad,” said someone who has been inside recently. “No one has lived there in years. The materials were not of high quality, and looks like water had gotten up through the foundation.” The really valuable chandeliers and marble pieces are also gone. Even the pink quartz bathroom commode is going. A demolition permit was issued for the property on March 6, but the current owner has been planning to tear it down since last August. The home has six bedrooms, five full bathrooms and four half-bathrooms, and sits on 1.05 primo acres that back up to the Dallas North Tollway. It was sold Dec. 28, 2015, for $1.85 million. Allie Beth Allman agent Karen Luter was the listing agent for the owner, Dr. Karen Gillum, who had been trying to sell the property for years. At one point the home was listed at $5.7 million with Myla Patton, back in 2007. Successive agents kept lowering the price until Karen did the magic. Who is the new owner? We have been trying to find out for a long time. Dallasbased Pelicans Corp. Services LLC is listed as the property’s owner but … well, stay tuned. Built in 1984, remodeled in 2000, the estate featured manicured lawns with fountains, pools, koi ponds, arboretum like gardens, Brazilian teakwood flooring, grand sweeping staircases (two or three), statues, arcades of Corinthian columns, a wine cellar, walls of beveled glass windows, hand-painted murals, original pink quartz-marble hardware, indescribable mill work and that pink quartz commode. The lime green carpet on the stairs is the original that hosted many a top producer party. The kitchen has the original white Corian counters and Mary Kay’s own breakfast table (one of them) under the massive chandelier. When I first saw the home years ago, TROLLEY cont'd from page 1 "There are times when you can't see anything moving. Be patient." The logjam delaying the trolley began to give way last December, when the City Council approved a plan to convert McKinney and Cole Avenues to two-way traffic. Safety and tragedy were dual motivations behind that decision. When Emily Javardi was killed by a drunk driver at Cole Park in February 2015, the neighborhood ached. "Such a beautiful person, you know?” Koler said. “It shocked everybody. That's the reason they wanted to slow down the traffic." Then came the tweets. A two-day Twitter exchange last December began with Winfrey’s “Tweet of the Begging Cat:” "All I want for Christmas is the @DallasTrolley extension to @KnoxHenderson," a tweet complete with a begging cat gif. "That was me being bored on a Sunday," she said. But the cat took on a life of its own. Kingston retweeted her post, and DART media was quick to reply, tying the trolley to the second downtown light rail alignment project, known as D2, which would likely be completed around 2024. But Kingston wasn't buying it. He said he is tired of waiting for DART. They promised to get him a number on the cost to open the “hidden” DART station at Knox-Henderson, but never came through. So, in February, he and Kleinman

The Mary Kay house at 8915 Douglas Ave. is being torn down. right after Mary Kay had moved out, it held no oriental rugs. It has been listed by Myla Patton of Patton International Real Estate for $5.7 in 2007, then with Linda Jordan Hobbs over at Ebby for $4.995 million. You know, Alex Rodriquez, or A-Rod, who used to live next door, still drives up Douglas every time he visits Dallas just to take a gander at the home he owned, right next door to Mary Kay’s pink castle. Sadly, he will have one less reminder of his days in Dallas on his next visit. CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed! Named by National Association of Real Estate Editors as the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country. made the COG request themselves. “DART has been dishonest with me,” Kingston said. “This is a way to follow through.” He believes the area is “ripe for transit,” and their request predicted a ridership increase similar to the 26 percent MATA reported from 2014 to 2015. In an email, Morgan Lyons, DART’s assistant vice president, communications and community engagement, said the Knox-Henderson project is appealing, and a federal grant is the proper funding mechanism. “However, decisions about the downtown extension must first be made,” Lyons wrote. “We have to get the Dallas Streetcar from Union Station through downtown first. Decisions about the local match for the Knox-Henderson extension must be made. Those things must happen before making a federal funding submission.” A trolley system could affect several questions facing Knox-Henderson: mass transit, parking and the expanding population. Moving people without their cars is the key. And the intrepid trio is still working the grassroots to bring the trolleys. Their greatest success, Kingston said, is spreading the word, because whoever hears of the plan essentially becomes a fan of it. “They’ve really created a broad coalition of people,” he said. A feasibility study may be the ultimate judge of their work. "It will be a true survey of what the community wants," Winfrey said.

HIP TO BE SQUARE
dhohman@gdortho.com
Is a short-stay hip or knee replacement right for you? Outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is now being performed in select centers on select patients who are healthy enough to be candidates for this pathway. These surgeries can be done at an ambulatory surgery center or an inpatient hospital. Orthopedic surgeons agree that outpatient TJA should only be done on patients who are healthy enough to have surgery in such a setting and have the appropriate home setting/support to allow them to be discharged in this manner. This concept is new, and orthopedic surgeons are still clarifying how to maximize the benefits of this idea for patients. Know your health care Dr. Don Hohman team. The entire health care team for an outpatient TJA must be adept at managing this type of surgical pathway. Your primary care provider will need to agree that you are medically able to tolerate the surgery. The orthopaedic surgeon then must deem that you are a candidate for outpatient TJA and feel comfortable doing the surgery in this manner. The anesthesiologists should be skilled at multimodal pain management techniques to ensure your safety, pain management and quick recovery. The nursing team must
be skilled at preoperative education, operating room workflow, rapid recovery and be able to assess your readiness for discharge. Your family or friends must also be educated about what to expect at home and about recognizing potential postoperative complications. Advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of outpatient TJA include a reduced hospital stay, a possible reduced chance for hospital-acquired infections and the possibility of increased patient satisfaction. There is also potential for reduced cost to the health care system. The disadvantages of the outpatient TJA include the chance of having a complication at home, having difficulty with pain management and the chance for readmission to the hospital. Orthopaedic surgeons agree that outpatient TJA is not for everyone, and actual peer-reviewed reports on the success of this approach are available and usually have demonstrated positive results. It is my feeling that the interest and the role for outpatient TJA will most likely increase over time. Check out our outpatient total joint success stories on Dr. Hohman’s youtube page or through Facebook. If you have any questions contact our office at 214-750-1207.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK by Stella Wilder
The coming week will put a greater burden than usual on those who put much stock in being nice, for they will be relied on to see things through as harmoniously as possible when tensions are high and people are working at cross-purposes — which is likely to happen a lot. Indeed, this may be one of the most uncomfortable weeks of the entire year, as personal issues and professional concerns collide in many cases, and individuals are left on their own to work out healthy solutions without any sort of reliable template or example to follow. Where have all the teachers, guides and mentors gone? The fact is that they, too, will be dealing with their own difficult issues, so the help they usually provide will be in very short supply. Being nice, therefore, will count for much in every arena. Many will find that they are reaping the benefits — or paying the price — of decisions made in the distant past. This is especially true where personal issues are concerned. Anyone going through a difficult time may forget that his or her actions affect others as well, and such oversights are likely to come home to roost this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You will want to increase the level of commitment you've pledged to a friend or loved one who is going through a tough time. (March 6-March 20) – Though creativity is on the rise, you may find it difficult to be as productive as usual.
Unforeseen circumstances conspire against you. ARIES (March 21-April 4) The best laid plans sometimes go awry, and you must prepare yourself for just such a contingency. Be ready to scramble! (April 5-April 19) – How you express yourself will matter greatly, but not as much as your timing, which can make all the difference in the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You're ready to go for broke, but the opportunity may not arise until it is actually too late to do anything about it. Be patient. (May 6-May 20) – Focus on process, not product. You'll get there, surely — and how you go matters just as much as getting there on time. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may not want others to focus on what you are doing, but you have a way of attracting attention that cannot be switched off. (June 7-June 20) – Stand still at your own peril! You must be constantly on the move, working toward a clearly delineated goal, in order to meet with success. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may have an unforgettable week, but not because of anything you do. One of your friends is sure to provide excitement. (July 8-July 22) – You're not afraid of making mistakes, which is good, but you're likely to make more

than usual this week, which can work against you. Use care at all times. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) What you're after may be just around the corner, but it still seems like a long, long distance to you. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may consider success unlikely, but any such pessimism will only work against you. Do what you can to see things in the best possible light. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may be in need of just the kind of help others are seeking as well. Perhaps you can work together to secure what is available. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You will want to speak openly and honestly about things that may be emotionally charged, especially when others don't want to hear it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You have much on the docket, but you are looking forward to one particular endeavor that may change everything in the long run. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You may have received more than your share of bad news lately, but this is when you are actually at your best. It's time to do things your way once again. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may find yourself pulled in two very different directions,

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – It may be revealed that someone who claims to know you quite well doesn't really know you at all. It's time for you to act accordingly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may have to go to the mat for something you feel very strongly about. This is not as personal as it may seem. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – The unlikely becomes quite likely as the week progresses, and you must be ready to deal with a situation that no one is able to forestall any longer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Time spent with friends and loved ones affords you the opportunity to answer a few tough questions for yourself — and make some key decisions. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Others can learn a great deal from you, provided you allow them to know what you are doing — and why. Not everything need be a secret! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Something that seems minor can actually have a major impact on you and those around you. Others come to you with age-old concerns.

Jim Broadbent and Harriet Walter star in “The Sense of an Ending.”
By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
There’s a good chance that if not for Jim Broadbent, “The Sense of an Ending” would be a tiresome exercise about a callous 60ish-year-old man that casually ignores his pregnant daughter and blows off the emotional needs of his ex-wife. Thankfully, Broadbent’s charm and abundance of talent shines through and makes this movie not only better than expected, but a clever look at how we as people self-edit our past to create the best version of ourselves. Broadbent plays Tony Webster, an antique camera shop owner with the biggest case of “get off my lawn” since the originator of that phrase. From his point of view, his life is dandy as he maintains a great relationship with his ex-wife, Margaret (Harriet Walter), and helps his daughter, Susie (Michelle Dockery), with her pregnancy. His stubbornness to accept the truth about how these two people feel about him is obvious to everyone but him, as Margaret and Susie “wind him up” and he blows it off as teasing when there is truth to their snark. Tony’s world is thrown out of orbit when he receives a letter informing him that he has been left some money and the diary of his university friend, Adrian (Joe Alwyn). This becomes even more perplexing and mysterious when the person who has died and left Tony these things is Sarah Ford (Emily Mortimer), the mother of his university girlfriend, Veronica (Freya Mavor). It turns out that grown-up Veronica (eventually played by the brilliant Charlotte Rampling) will not give up Adrian’s diary, which she now possesses. Since Tony’s exwife is an attorney, he goes to her to see what he legally can do to get his obsessive hands on the diary. Naturally, Margaret needs to know why this is so important to him as she’s never even been told about any of these people in his past. Director Ritesh Batra does an excellent job of mixing in current-day Tony and his re-telling of his past via flashbacks, which
feature Billy Howle as the younger version of Tony. The mystery about these people and their relationships is slowly divulged, and it becomes more and more clear why Tony has become shut off to the world. “The Sense of an Ending” could have been a depressing slog about a cluelessly anti-social old guy, but Nick Payne’s adaptation of Julian Barnes’ novel thankfully throws in plenty of humor to keep it light. There are some seriously heavy themes playing out in this movie and without that levity, this would have felt like much longer than a 108-minute movie. Charlotte Rampling only shows up for a few scenes as the older Veronica, but she’s as fantastic as she’s always been. Her character is quite odd and she does a great job in portraying a weathered version of her younger, strange self. “The Sense of an Ending” may be the first time that Jim Broadbent has led a cast, as his body of work is all supporting, character actor-type roles. What have casting directors been doing for the last 30 years? This is a charming, expressive, lovely performance from a beloved actor that has deserved this type of role for years, but most of them seem to go to Michael Caine. If not for Broadbent masterfully taking Payne’s words from page to screen, “The Sense of an Ending” would have been a tremendous beat down. He keeps the mood light with his impossible to dislike smile and seems right at home portraying a character that proves you’re never too old to change. The solution to the mystery of “The Sense of an Ending” is not easily telegraphed and should come as a shock to anyone who hasn’t read the novel. There is plenty of foreshadowing that keeps several available outcomes open, but the finale delivers quite the punch to the gut. This is a movie that examines how people create their personalities and how much words, whether spoken or in print, can alter the lives of others.

Design keeps well-known Deep Ellum creative on toes
By Bronwen Roberts
Ely Sellers walks a fine line between eccentric and serene. If you’ve ever been to Deep Ellum, chances are you’ve seen the artist — a friendly face with thickrimmed glasses (which he molded and cast himself) and a ski mask that he wears like a perforated beanie over his hair. While many know him as the front man for his zany and comedic band SuperMook, his daytime profession is in fabrication and design, a job that requires true finesse and masterful know-how. The magic happens in a workshop across from Fair Park on Exposition Avenue, tucked between Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters and Confetti Eddie’s Magic Parlor. Founded by his uncle George Sellers, the studio — currently known as the Areté Collection — crafts imaginative furniture, light fixtures and decorative objects, incorporating elements of the natural world, as well as inspiration from the Italian renaissance, which so heavily influenced George during his studies in Europe. Together with business partner Bradley Clifford, the atelier creates surreal and elegant designs, which have drawn the eye of clients the world over. The team has designed storefront windows for Van Cleef & Arpels in New York and Jim Thompson Fabrics in Paris (in collaboration with Douglas Little), sold their pieces to high-profile clients such as Tim Burton and Jack Nicholson, and has produced prominent work on display right here at home. The Joule Hotel in downtown Dallas flaunts a giant tree branch sculpture throughout the holidays, which the Areté team crafted together with designer Cory Pope. They also created a whimsical window display for the store L.A. Traffic next door. As the story goes, Ely fell naturally into the role of head fabricator, despite little initial training. Originally from Duncan, Okla., he first came to Dallas in 2005 to apprentice with his uncle. Ely did not see himself as an artist at the time, despite a certain “craftiness” from an early age. “I was either working in a kitchen or in construction,” he said of his 20s. The construction work did have one particular benefit, however — building things. Ely, who has no official background in engineering, eventually became the primary builder of George’s designs. “I’m the dirty hands guy — the studio troll,” he said. Whether it’s fabricating a 13-foot starburst ceiling medallion for the Diamond Horseshoe at the Paramount Hotel in New York City, or collaborating on flower-blossoming animatronic jewelry displays, Ely has taught himself the trade of making designs into a reality. Sketches on paper become fantastical, tangible objects through Ely’s mold making, carving, faux-finishing, sculpting, welding, woodworking and sheer exertion. “I like doing different things. By the time you’re tired of one thing, you’re done with it and moving on to the next. It keeps me on my toes.” But Ely hasn’t gotten this far on his own. Along the way, he has picked up practices of the trade from various fellow artists. “I learned faux-finishing from Kathleen Allen, welding from Darius Goodson and collaborated with the late Joey Contreras. You learn so much from these people,” said Ely, “they become a part of you a little bit.” As for the designs themselves, many come from the imagination of Ely’s uncle George. Everything from faux bois to carved fruits to gilt wasp nest light fixtures — the Sellers team has
conceived and sculpted objects of whimsy for projects of all kinds. Ely additionally creates his own designs, seeing the process through from inception to finished product. From time to time, Ely even joins forces with local theaters, building sets and props for stage productions. He has worked with Erin Singleton, Ben Schroth and the late Matt Tomlanovich at the Margo Jones’ Theater’s Photos courtesy of Ely Sellers production of “Heaven, Hell Window display with bird and That Burning Place of for Jim Thompson Fabrics in Fire,” as well as on “Dementia Paris (left). Beetle design by Me” with John Michael. Areté (above). Sellers (below). Beyond art and design, Ely is a family man. His seven-year-old son, Eliot, is already displaying creative leanings himself. “On days off from school, he comes to the studio,” said Ely. Apparently, the young Eliot prefers carving to cartoons and would rather play with plaster than Legos. Artistic talent must run in the family. When not building, designing or being a dad, Ely somehow finds the time for his boisterous, hilarious and distinctly unclassifiable band SuperMook. “Just try to ‘genre’ us,” he joked. Part musical comedy, part theater antics, the kooky band is composed of Ely and Shaun Reeder, with a rowdy group of “10 or so” thespians who unconventionally act out the music. The shows include such numbers as the interactive “Lobster Cha-Cha,” the heavy metal “Cutest Unicorn” and a balloon solo. All in good fun, it’s just one more outlet for this effusively and vibrantly creative mind. “I have to stay busy,” said Ely. “If I stop, I fall asleep.” The fanciful designs of Ely, George Sellers and company can be found at the new Forty Five Ten store located in the Knox-Henderson area at 4510 McKinney Ave. For more information on the Areté Collection, visit aretecollection.com.

FINANCES
Course correcting to a more secure retirement By David Nethery
David_Nethery@ml.com Due to longer life expectancy, today’s retirees are more “time aff luent” than previous generations and have new freedoms to live where they want, connect with family and friends, engage in leisure of their choosing and invest in their health. However, funding a retirement lifestyle is becoming more challenging as the old “three-legged stool” for funding retirement — Social Security, employer pensions and personal savings — is becoming wobbly. In a new study, Merrill Lynch, in partnership with Age Wave, found that achieving a financially comfortable retirement David Nethery will require retirees to take more personal responsibility and overcome new challenges — starting with appreciating the cost of retirement. According to this new study, retirement will be the biggest purchase of one’s lifetime, costing more than double the price of an average home, yet 81 percent say they do not know how much money they will need to fund their plans. To better understand their finances and tackle misunderstandings, pre-retirees need to start having discussions and break down taboos around sensitive, but important, financial topics. The research also found that people are open to mak-

In the South Central region, which includes North Texas, people are “most likely to feel uncomfortable discussing their retirement savings” (79 percent) more than anywhere in the nation. They are also least likely to make course corrections across all life priorities to help adjust their financial situation prior to retirement. Despite some difficulties in planning, however, most are willing to consider long-term care insurance (73 percent) to better plan for the future. Overall, course corrections vary based on individual priorities and values — so it’s important for retirees to consider the vast array of options available to them. The good news is that retirees and pre-retirees are extremely resilient, adaptable and hopeful. Many are open to making meaningful adjustments across all life priorities for a more financially comfortable retirement. These topics may be intimidating, but it’s important to remember that you are not alone in this endeavor to achieve financial wellness in retirement.

HIGHLAND PARK VILLAGE
Popular ‘LOCAL’ returns in late March for a second season
By Hendrika Rhoad
Back by popular demand, Highland Park Village’s “LOCAL” returns on Saturday, March 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. with a carefully selected lineup of artisan goods, games and live entertainment. Following the community event’s celebrated debut in September 2016, more than 15 of Dallas-Fort Worth’s favorite foods and goods vendors will be featured at the charming seasonal neighborhood market. From Naturally Curly Cook’s crave-worthy kolaches and quiches to Becerra’s Tamales that warrant a waiting list, “LOCAL” will feature the community’s Saturday morning staples and introduce new must-haves including Designs by Diana’s small batch pickles, jellies, relishes and more! Texas sourced olive oils and locally handmade soaps and candles return to complete the selection of delicious and convenient goods, along with newly launched gourmet-flavored popcorn from Sweet Virginia’s, a selection of leather bags, striking accessories and ceramic goods from Ora et Labora Collection, and hand-churned body whips, serums and oils from The Whipper’s Will. Different interactive games each month will add to the festivities for kids (and parents) to enjoy, along with face painting and live performances by local musicians. “We’re looking forward to another great season and welcome the Dallas community to our neighborhood market,” said Ray W. Washburne, managing director, Highland Park Village. “We want families and friends from around the city to stop in, explore and support great local vendors and participating small businesses.” Upcoming “LOCAL” Saturday events will be April 15, May 20 and June 17. The “LOCAL” can be found on Livingston Court between Céline and Balenciaga in Highland Park Village. Participating vendors for the March 25 “LOCAL” include Avant Garden grab-and-go floral bouquets, Becerra’s Tex-Mex Tamales and Salsas, Bisous Bisous Pâtisserie featuring French macarons, Designs by Diana with small batch pickles, peppers, jellies, jams and relishes; Kessler Pie Co. presenting a selection of handcrafted pies in a jar and Lucky Puppy Adventures, which offers handmade, customized dog collars and leads. Also participating are Mother Beverage, makers of infused apple cider vinegar beverages, Naturally Curly Cook sweet and savory kolaches, quiches, muffins, scones, granola and salad dressings; Ora et Labora Collection providing contemporary handcrafted jewelry, signature leather goods and ceramics; Pet Wants all-natural, high quality pet food and pet care products; St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange featuring books and other home goods, Sweet Virginia’s gourmet flavored popcorn, Texas Olive Ranch bottled Texas olive oils and vinegars, The TOT children’s clothing, gear and apparel; The Whipper’s Will hand-whipped body butters, oils and serums; White Rock Granola with small batch granolas made locally and White Rock Soap Gallery offering all-natural and handmade soaps, soy wax candles and body care products.

"LOCAL" returns for a second year beginning Saturday, March 25.

MARCH 17 - 23, 2017
AUTO cont'd from page 1 Jerry Jones. So, we’ll look for the all-new Ford Raptor and a possible guest appearance by Mr. Cowboy. HONDA: Honda’s most recent celebration David Boldt of family values begins and ends with its all-new CR-V. If you’ve liked previous variants of Honda’s compact crossover, there’s even more to like with this one. It’s upsized ever so cautiously, and refinements made to the platform and drive train are (for the most part) entirely successful. At this point in time — for the traditional crossover shopper — Honda’s new take on its already successful CUV may be the cream of this particular crop. JEEP: If you drive a Jeep you should be up and out early. Hence, it makes perfect sense that the media will be treated to a Jeep-sponsored breakfast with a presentation. While an all-new Wrangler waits in the product development weeds, the Jeep team should be touting their new Compass, which is located on their depth chart between the smallish Renegade and the more substantial — and polarizing — Cherokee. Beyond that, an aging Grand Cherokee remains attractive and relevant for your 4 X 4 adventures, and look for more variations of the current Wrangler than Sean Spicer has explanations. MAZDA: We continue to love our time behind the wheel of
PAGE 11
Mazda cars and crossovers, as Mazda’s tagline — Driving Matters — is more than just a tagline. For those that love driving with a child seat, the all-new CX-5 is the ticket you’ve been looking to punch. With sleeker sheet metal and a platform more dynamic, there’s a lot to like in this CR-V and RAV4 competitor. And the new CX-5 would look absolutely perfect if garaged next to the Miata MX-5 RF, the new hardtop take on Mazda’s drop-top Miata. NISSAN: Years prior to Toyota’s decision to leave Southern California for the more reasonable costs of North Texas, Nissan departed So Cal for the more reasonable costs of Nashville. And Nissan’s move continues to bear fruit, most often in the guise of something we’ll describe as a truck. Over the last year, Nissan has rolled out an entire family of its full-size Titan, and the march continues this spring with several variants moving into showrooms. Also look for Nissan’s new Armada, fully equipped to take on your next urban or suburban adventure, even if your suburb is in or around Moab. PARK PLACE DEALERSHIPS: Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Park Place executives will be discussing the imminent opening of their Land Rover/Jaguar dealership in Grapevine, a planned Porsche store in that same ZIP code and news from their Maserati (Levante), McLaren (570S) Bentley (Bentayga), Jaguar (F-Pace) and Rolls-Royce (Black Badge and Dawn) showrooms. Hopefully, someone’s taking notes.
RAM: If Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) didn’t have Jeep and Ram, it’s doubtful there would be a company. Without them the sales numbers just don’t add up. But FCA does have Ram, and Ram has built itself into a truck-selling juggernaut. While not sure the Ram folks will be discussing the Ram Rebel — this is a Dallas show — because they don’t have a Ram Maverick, yet. TOYOTA: The Japanese carmaker builds its trucks in San Antonio and its marketing budgets (along with everything else corporate) in Plano at its all-new North American headquarters. The official move-in day is quickly approaching and Toyota is bringing to its booth boxes, padding, pizza and looking for volunteers. VOLKSWAGEN: If you’ve driven through the Central Texas towns of Kerrville, Fredericksburg or New Braunfels, you can’t help but notice the deeply entrenched influence of their German founders. And if you drive Volkswagen’s recently introduced Atlas, it’s as if VW is building their big, three-row crossover for the descendants of that German ancestry which are now fattened on fast food eaten in big Suburbans. Volkswagen’s Atlas is intended to hit American motoring where it lives — back in the third row — with audio, video and (we hope) WiFi. David Boldt brings years of experience in automotive retail sales and public relations to his automotive reporting. More can be found at txGarage.com.
