IN MEMORIAM
Dallas loses renowned theatrical figure Moreno
By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
On Monday, March 27, Dallas lost an award-winning director and theater actor when René Moreno, 57, died of a heart attack. A cadre of friends and colleagues that he left behind felt the loss. “René was a living symbol of a courageous man,” actor, director and Pegasus Theatre founder Kurt Kleinmann said. “Where others might have given up, he appeared to treat his confinement to a wheelchair as an opportunity to succeed yet again. And through his success he was an inspiration to many. Our community is better because of René Moreno. He will be sorely missed.” John Garcia, editor, founder and senior chief theater critic of The Column, said, “He (Moreno) pushed the boundaries of what theater is and can be. He was one of those rare directors that knew what subtext is and excavate it from both his direction and acting. He was also one of the very few Latinos in theater within the DFW area. We are an extremely small group, but he shined so brightly and made
all of us Latino actors so proud. He left a void that cannot be filled.” “René Moreno will be sorely missed by the Dallas/Fort Worth theatrical community,” Susan Sargeant, director and founder of WingSpan Theatre Company, said. “René had amazing artistic gifts. So many of us have benefited because René touched our lives both personally and professionally.” Moreno was born in Dallas on May 25, 1959, attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and studied theater, dance and music at SMU. He played piano and wanted to be an actor according to colleague and friend Mark Lowry. In the 1980s, Moreno moved to New York and began working in regional theater and on and off-Broadway. He landed an ensemble role in the New York premiere of “Amadeus” (directed by Sir Peter Hall), and in 1986 played Romeo opposite award-winning actress and playwright Regina Taylor (Juliet). In 1991, while performing in Federico García Lorc’s “Yerma” at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., he fell five

An arrangement that has flourished for 30 years
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com Late last week, after two locations and three owners, Apples to Zinnias celebrated 30 years serving the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Turtle Creek and Oak Lawn with some of the finest floral arrangements in the area. The 1,200 square-foot store at 2214 Villanova St. is chocked full of flowers (real and silk), collectibles, greeting cards and, after three decades in Dallas, regular clientele. “Apples to Zinnias was started by Marilyn Hubbard in Oak Lawn and actually began as a catering shop,” said third and present owner Nisha Patel. “Apples was the food part. Zinnias was the flower part. It was a very small business that she grew. The second owner, Karen Akin Myers, bought it and owned it for about ten years.” After searching through a number of business and franchisee opportunities, Patel, with a master’s degree in accounting, bought Apples to Zinnias more than six years ago. Patel grew up in Austin, went to UT and began working
for a “Big Four” accounting firm. Around 2005, she met her husband Sunay, (who was living in Dallas), and began considering getting out of the corporate life and run a business of her own. “I didn’t want to work sixty hours a week for somePhoto by Kelley Breeding body anymore,” Nisha Patel owns Apples to Zinnias.

Retired journalist lives the good life, ‘keeps Austin weird’ By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
Local baby boomers may remember when we read our contemporary John Anders’ daily column in The Dallas Morning News (DMN), which he wrote 33 years. Today, Anders is a mostly retired writer. His wife, Helen Bryant Anders, also a former DMN writer, is a semi-retired freelance writer. The couple is enjoying retirement the way retirement should be — in Austin — which they’ve called home for 17 years. Anders admitted, “Never wanted to leave there [Austin] in the first place.” The 1964 Bryan Adams (BA) alum earned his journalism degree from the UT Austin in 1968. For his first

Dallas ISD Trustee Miguel Solis Make the most of your child’s early years Dallas ISD’s Early Learning gives our youngest students an opportunity to receive an excellent education. While research shows that 90 percent of a child’s brain development Miguel Solis occurs in the first five years, this research also proves the need for pre-K expansion across Dallas ISD. In April, that‘s what many parents will do, during the annual pre-K enrollment period, and it will place their child a step ahead of those real, yet daunting statistics. Dallas ISD offers families a chance to experience high-quality preschool education, with effective teachers in place to engage our youth. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. As more data becomes available, the conversation is expected to increase. Whether your family is eligible for our free or tuition-based pre-K, we believe Dallas ISD is the best option for early learning. Here are some of the advantages your child receives when enrolling in our Early Childhood program: • Small class size ratio • Quality/Effective teachers in every classroom

• Dallas ISD Pre-K students are 3.5 times more likely to be ready for kinder than not • Pre-K specialist assigned to every 15 teachers to provide ongoing support Currently, Dallas ISD’s Early Learning department estimates nearly 2,000 eligible 4-year-old students that Dallas ISD does not serve. That means they are missing one of the main benefits of a preschool education, which is starting kindergarten prepared and ready to achieve. This is why our pre-K expansion efforts throughout the district are key. If we don’t reach children in that window of opportunity when their minds undergo the largest development, these students may never learn at that rate again. Right now, only 55 percent of our kids start kindergarten on track for success, which means about 45 percent of kids start school already behind the curve. Don’t let your child miss out on this essential year of growth. I encourage every parent to take advantage of Dallas ISD’s pre-K program. The prekindergarten registration period began April 3 at participating Dallas ISD elementary schools and childcare partner sites. Can we count on you to begin your child’s academic career with us?

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Water Grill fishes for presence
By Dotty Griffith
thing of all at a Southern California seafood concept: gorgeous, oversize yeast rolls. With thin shaves of salt on top, these rolls and butter are like chips and salsa. Hard to stop. The seafood tower offers a taste of shellfish, including shrimp and lobster. Crab cakes are thick and crabby, not bready. An expertly seared piece of seabass on a bed of cauliflower purée with lemon chutney, hazelnuts and brown butter reawakened the senses that have been dulled by way too many uninteresting iterations of seabass over the years. So did the roasted Brussels sprouts with soft chestnuts and, of course, bacon. Fresh seafood arrives daily from the West Coast, brought in by parent company King’s Seafood. The latest big deal offering is for Spot Prawn, in season through October. Harvested by hand in pot traps throughout the Southern California Bight (the curved coastline), these giant crustaceans are known for their sweet taste and firm texture as well as size. As to libations, Water Grill offers an extensive wine list, craft cocktails and 20 local brews on tap. No doubt Water Grill is the seafood joint of the moment in Uptown.
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com
I have to admit to some Texas hubris and skepticism about the opening of Water Grill in the tough steak and Dotty Griffith seafood neighborhood in Uptown. First of all, it’s a chain from Southern California. And, second, with all the high-end seafood and prime beef in the area — The Capital Grille, Morton’s The Steakhouse, Ocean Prime, Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Truluck’s Seafood Steak and Crab House and a cheap Uber ride away to Nick & Sam’s and The Palm — can a new seafood shrine survive? I don’t have the answer to my last question but I know that Water Grill is worthy of the neighborhood and adds a new dimension. A Dallas Observer headline summed it up this way: “Water Grill Is Part Uptown Chic, Part Oyster Shack and Part “Portlandia” Sketch.” Dallas’ Water Grill is the fifth location WATER GRILL of the family of restaurants that opened in 1920 McKinney Ave. Los Angeles in 1989 and the first outside of Dallas, 75201 California. The impressive redwood Cali vibe 214-306-7111 offers lots of indoor spaces that seamlessly watergrill.com flow into outside spaces. I imagined I could hear water lapping a nearby dock. Of course, we Dallas realists know that’s impossible, but it is fun to live the dream. Maybe it’s the sea water tanks teeming with live seafood and the impressive raw bar with clams, oysters and other shellfish beckoning to be opened and slurped. Dishes at Water Photo courtesy of Water Grill Grill are also big Live Wild Santa Barbara Spot Prawns charcoal grilled with homemade and bold, starting with the unlikeliest coleslaw.

HAMMER AND NAILS
Getting creative with collectables By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Let’s admit it. We’re all hoarders of some kind. With widespread interests, we become collectors of special items, whether that means mugs or old watches, plates or vintage albums. These are often sentimental (and expensive) items that we have a hard time getting rid of, but most of the time we struggle with how to display them. The good news? If done tastefully, our collections can shine and even add a lot of value to a space, so I’d like to go into the best spots for various types of collectables. Common collections include things like old blue plates, items from beaches such as shells, or other trinkets like arrowheads, old tools, radios or books. A great rule to live by, when arranging your collection, is to let function and logic guide you. If you collect dishes of any kind, go for dish areas, such as the kitchen, dining room or breakfast nook. Let the item merge with its home space correctly. Floating shelves or shelving units are always great for displaying attractive collection items. For example, vintage teapots add character and meaning to a room. I would display one teapot, each perched on an independent floating shelf somewhere in the eating area of the kitchen or on a blank wall near the stove, where many brew their tea. China and dishes go great in a buffet, armoire or on the wall of the dining room. Items like this bring timelessness and a sense of familial generation to a room of congregation. Having such items displayed not too boldly and yet accented can be a great conversation

Collectable dishes go great in a buffet, armoire or on the wall of the dining room. piece as well. Such a collection acts as a way to bring back memories from years before, while also marking a room of new memories ahead. The same rule goes for one of my favorite collection items, coffee mugs. But instead of shelves, I suggest hooks. Hang each mug from its own hook so that they hang diagonally across the span of the kitchen wall. Preferably, make this accessible to the coffee station, if you are willing to let others use your collection of mugs. Having mentioned beach items, I strongly envision any kind of shell or beach souvenir to go perfectly in a beach-themed powder room. It doesn’t have to be a full bathroom all beach-themed, but for guests, it’s the perfect accent to make them feel they’re away at a spa or on some kind of vacation. Beach items can also go in the kitchen or a more specific room, like the sunroom. As we get into the more travel-vintage-sophisticated collections like old suitcases, radios, cameras, maps or coins, I say we take it into the study/ library, staircase, hallway or garage/workroom. Imagine your library, office or study properly
hosting the 10 to 15 vintage (or not vintage) maps you gathered during your Stephan Sardone travels, or maybe maps that were passed down to you through the generations. No need to invest in lots of expensive, sophisticated art, when you have authentic, geographical art that adds a certain intellectual, adventurous appeal. I’ve seen a lot of people take up the collecting of old suitcases, placing them on stairway landings or at the end of hallways in a pyramid-style stack. In all kinds of aged colors and sizes, they add great dimension, wanderlust and functional surface for other things, such as a lamp or photograph. Not to mention, the suitcases are suitcases ... feel free to actually use them as storage for old (but clean) blankets, placemats or linens. When guests come over, feel free to choose a suitcase for them and leave it in their room to take from as they wish. This is just another fun and functional way to utilize your collection. A collection of books would obviously be perfect for the office, studio or living room, and for cookbooks, feel free to let that collection fade into the kitchen as well. Other compatible collectables for the family room include candles, clocks, albums or book ends. For all you rugged-item collectors, place your old radios, tools or locks in a work space to exude productivity, hard work through the generations and your own value placed on the past, present and future. After all, that’s what collecting is all about: valuing what has been, what is and what finds its way to you for years to come. It’s to build a library of commitment, an item worth repeating, and in turn, items worth displaying the right way.

candace@candysdirt.com Once in a while, an architect gets a call for the dream job. Several years ago, Graham Greene, a princiCandace Evans pal with Oglesby-Greene Architects, got that call. The client wanted a timeless home built on a beautiful lot that would capture its natural setting. Green went above and beyond, creating an architectural icon at 40 Braewood Place in Glen Abbey. Every iconic home needs a name, so we’re christening this estate the Glen Abbey Glass House. Oglesby-Greene has a reputation for modernist architecture and creating buildings that are timeless yet timely. Certainly, Green drew inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house in rural Pennsylvania. The principles of organic architecture are decidedly at play here with a symbiotic relationship between the land and the house. The home is built into the slope of the site, opening out and merging into the landscape. A rolling stream begins at the front door, disappears under a bridge of the house and continues on the other side, falling into a koi pond and flowing down the natural rock formations to White Rock Creek below. Greene has created a perfect homage to Wright’s vision: “No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together, each the happier for the other.” Built by Joe Kain Homes and completed in 2007, the interiors were designed by Robyn Menter Design Associates. The home has been featured on NBC Universal TV’s "Open House" and won the 2010 AIA Dallas Design Award for Interior Architecture.
Floor-to-ceiling commercial, double-pane, energy-efficient window walls overlook a 10-acre nature preserve across the creek. In keeping with Wright’s timeless architecture principles, the ornamentation in the home comes from nature and the use of organic and natural elements such as Douglas fir, Lueders limestone, white oak and cypress. There are four large bedrooms, but the recreation room was designed with the flexibility to create two more bedrooms. There are eight bathrooms, six fireplaces and a state-of-the-art safe room brilliantly located next to the wine room. Five waterfalls grace the property with five separate outdoor living areas. An infinity edge swimming pool overlooks the nature preserve, and paths lead around the grounds and down to the creek where you can fish or dock a small boat. It’s easier to believe you're in the Texas Hill Country rather than minutes from a major urban center. “It is one of the most amazing homes I have ever seen," Briggs-Freeman Sotheby’s listing agent Vicki White said. “Every room feels like you are outdoors, and the views go forever. You have to see it to believe it.” It would take a book to detail all of the aspects of this $7.99 million estate but, suffice it to say, no expense was spared and no detail overlooked. We’ll leave you with another quote from Wright that could not be more fitting: “If you wisely invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.” 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.

Perfection is more than a vague concept; it is something that is worth pursuing — for it is, indeed, attainable! But there's a catch, of course, and that is that not everyone will be able to recognize perfection when they come upon it — and, worse, he or she who achieves it may not know it at the time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You know where you're supposed to be, but you may not be able to get there the usual way. Expect things to take an unusual turn. (June 7-June 20) – The old-fashioned and the newfangled are likely to meet in an unexpected way, giving you the chance to maximize your rewards. CANCER (June 21-July 7) The more ingredients you add to the mix, the more you'll enjoy the results, even though things come out looking a little alien to you. (July 8-July 22) – You can turn things on their ear and provide something a little fancier in place of that which is simply routine. Others appreciate the extra effort.

He returned to Dallas for rehabilitation and received his MFA in directing from SMU in 2001. His first local production was directing “Miss Julie” at Kitchen Dog Theater in 1996. He went on to direct productions at Shakespeare Dallas, Dallas Children’s Theater, WingSpan Theatre Company, Theatre Three, Contemporary Theatre of Dallas and others. Moreno called his mishap a “freak accident.” He returned to Dallas and entered physical therapy and psychotherapy, thinking his theater days were over. But that changed when he was asked to return to the theater as both an actor and then a director at Kitchen Dog Theater. He became one of the most sought-after directors in Dallas, winning countless awards and earning high praise from critics and audiences alike. Moreno directed Barbara Bierbrier in WingSpan Theatre’s staged reading of “Rose,” which opened at the Bath House Cultural Center only days following his death. Bierbrier said, “None of us can find enough words to express the extent of our admiration and love. But the one quality that made it possible for us to experience those gifts was his incredible bravery in the face of personal tragedy. “When the accident robbed him of the use of his legs, and thus of his thriving career on the Broadway stage, he never gave in to despair. He came back home to Dallas, adjusted to life in his chair, never expected sympathy and went on to build a career that has inspired and enriched the entire DFW theater community.” Moreno’s friend and colleague Mark Oristano said, “I’m still numb from it all. All I can say is that it will be a long while before Dallas/Fort Worth and the theater scene here have another talent as large, or another personality as delightful.” Moreno is survived by his longtime partner, Charles McMullen. A celebration of René Moreno’s life and work will be Saturday, April 29 at 1 p.m. at Dallas City Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK
The coming week will require more solitude than most are used to, as both work and play offer up situations that can be truly beneficial only when experienced alone. This is not to say that there is no place for togetherness; on the contrary, there will be ample opportunities for friends and family members to enjoy each other's company, and for co-workers to maximize productivity through cooperation and teamwork. The greatest rewards, however, will come to those who are able to spend more time away from the society of others. Professional projects and personal endeavors will come along much better when there are no distractions — especially the distractions that are inevitable and unavoidable when others are around!

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You can provide yourself with something no one else can, and it's very much needed, in fact. Others will want you to share this rare ability!

OFF THE MARK
since the lake was largely known as a spot to watch submarine races. For 30 years, the Anders have enjoyed their property in South Padre Island. “We travel about three months every year,” the retiree said from his South Padre heaven. While in high school, Anders was VP of the Key Club, the young men’s offshoot of Kiwanis. He and his friend went to New York for the Key Club’s annual meeting. “I really liked writing about the shows I saw there,” Anders said. A few of his especially favorite shows are “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “Enter Laughing.” He enjoyed rubbing elbows over the years with stars like Ann-Margaret, Juliet Prowse and Alan Arkin. While in Dallas, Anders ushered and sold tickets for Tom Hughes’ Dallas Summer Musicals. When he was a junior at BA, the musicals needed 6-ft. guys to share the stage with Ginger Rogers. They were costumed in top hats and tails. A few years later, he had the thrill of a phone interview with Rogers. Anders published an autobiographical piece for a popular Dallas publication, in which he wrote, “Austin is the perfect refuge for a recovering journalist. In Austin, it’s easy to blend in with the jalapeño chorus. Here, I’m just another slacker. “But there’s a tricky part. I’m trying to pass for a human being in my new life. And, frankly, it’s a stretch. As you may have suspected, journalists are not to be mistaken for real people. Media types simply haven’t evolved to that blessed plateau and probably never will. In some instances, scribes are barely housebroken.” “I love UT,” Anders continued, “but for years now I’ve felt like a jerk for getting a journalism degree instead of studying something useful. Journalism should be taught in trade schools, like welding. Six weeks at the DeVry Institute ought to do it.” Anders has garnered a healthy cache of honors and recognition under his belt, where he also stores his tacos. He won the Katie award for best column, a Southwest Journalism Forum Award, a Headliner Award for Best Column in State and an AP award. He was honored with the Living Legend Award in 2014 from Dallas Press Club. Helen Bryant Anders was honored with the same award the next year, and they are the only married couple to be given the award. Anders sees Dallas differently these days. “Dallas is doing some great things,” Anders said. “More relaxed town than I remembered.” Maybe Anders will come up with a moniker like, “Keep Dallas bizarre.” ANDERS cont'd from page 1

Scarlett Johansson stars in “Ghost in the Shell.”
By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
Remember Scarlett Johansson? You know, the promising and talented actress that once dropped two lead performances so great in one year (2004’s “Lost in Translation” and “Girl with a Pearl Earring”) that they effectively cancelled each other out at Oscar time? Sure, she’s shown up and been a bit of a side player in the Marvel movie world and scored a reasonably big hit in “Lucy,” but where did that serious actress go? She did not go to “Ghost in the Shell.” This horribly miscast “Blade Runner” wannabe doesn’t even have the audacity to be visually engaging, which begs the question: Why did they even bother making this thing? The movie takes place in the future in what is a massive Asian city. It’s impossible to know the time or place, as “Ghost in the Shell” doesn’t tell you. It must be the distant future, as we quickly meet Major (Johansson), a mechanical shell housing a real human brain (her “ghost,” duh) via transplant. Her “creator,” Dr. Ouelet (Juliette Binoche, clearly enhancing her bank account), hands her over to Hanka, a massive corporation that trains Major to defeat terrorism with a highly distracting flesh-colored, skin-tight body suit. Major also uses Kung Fu and machine guns to fight cyber-terror, which seems to initially come in the form of spider robot geisha girls led by a mysterious, hooded operative named Kuze (Michael Pitt). She complains of hallucinations, which are dismissed by Dr. Ouelet as “glitches,” but anyone who isn’t completely oblivious should realize these are visions from her “ghost’s” past. Nearly every moment of “Ghost in the Shell” is telegraphed, and all the plot twists are old hat, with evil corporations doing evil things that are combatted with “justifiable” terrorism and murder. Director Rupert Sanders doesn’t make this whip of
a screenplay any more palatable with nothing more than homages and blatant rip-offs from other sci-fi films. Sanders isn’t the first director to study every frame of “The Matrix” and then use them over and over, but hopefully, he will be the last. There’s been a stink surrounding the cultural implications of “Ghost in the Shell,” and it’s addressed in the film’s plot (sort of). If this was handled by a director interested in more than lazy camerawork and a plot worse than most video games, the social commentary could have had an impact instead of being mercilessly mocked. Normally, Scarlett Johansson can make movies that have no business being watchable actually watchable. Here, she is completely asleep at the switch. Sure, she looks cool and is more than capable of handling action scenes like the ones in “Ghost in the Shell,” but this is a truly vacant performance. Awkward doesn’t really do justice for the implied romantic angle between Johansson and Pilou Asbaek, who plays her partner, Batou. The plot point is dead on arrival and only gets worse once Asbaek’s character is given tiny cameras for eyes. There is zero chemistry between the two of them and their entire relationship feels forced, as if the team of screenwriters felt compelled to have “romance” for romance’s sake. “Ghost in the Shell” also suffers from a lack of fun of any kind. There is absolutely no humor or relief from this sour affair. The world that Sanders has created is vivid and bright, but it’s not enough to save this depression-filled slog. “Ghost in the Shell” is destined to be a $110 million failure of massive proportions. This is the kind of box office and critical disaster that puts directors, producers and screenwriters in the penalty box for a handful of years. This movie will heavily depend on the foreign box office and rentals to cover its budget, but it will never make up for the fact that a movie with built-in fandom is an abject failure.
UPTOWN GIRL
Down-home music, downtown skyline By Ryann Gordon
ryannbgordon@yahoo.com What is a more descriptive image of summer in Dallas than lying beneath the city lights and whatever stars can shine through, listening to live music on a lawn? Not much that I can name. Well, lucky for us city-dwellers, we’ve got the perfect opportunity to make the most of this fine weather all summer long. Each Thursday from spring to fall you can celebrate and cherish the southern heat from the heart of downtown Dallas at Klyde Warren Park. Are you looking for the perfect date night or family outing? Or, perhaps, just an opportunity to kick back with some of your closest friends, with music and not a care in the world? Well, pack up your picnic blanket and basket, unless you’re planning on waiting to indulge in the lines of food trucks that always surround the park, and get ready for a new type of urban gathering. Listen to music from on top of a highway this Thursday night and get ready to enjoy your city in the best way possible — with local artists strumming your heart strings, down-home food vendors keeping you full like Momma would have

And in case you’re still interested, Fox’s 14th edition of “So You Think You Can Dance” returns on June 12, with the very excitable Mary Murphy back in play as a judge. NBC The Peacock still has the summer’s biggest ratings juggernaut with “America’s Got Talent,” which begins its 12th season on May 30 with new host Tyra Banks in place of Nick Cannon. The judges are still Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B. Former “American Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez also gets into the “reality competition” game with “World of Dance,” which gets an early May 8 sneak preview behind a lead-in from “The Voice.” J Lo, Derek Hough and NE-YO are the judges, with Jenna Dewan Tatum hosting. The scripted, otherworldly “Midnight, Texas,” based on the book series by Charlaine Harris, premieres on July 25. Francois Arnaud heads the cast as Manfred, a “charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits,” but aligns himself with both supernatural and just plain human allies. “Little Big Shots: Forever Young,” checks in on June 21. This time it’s “young-at-heart seniors” showcasing their talents, with Steve Harvey again hosting. Also look for the summer season returns of “American Ninja Warrior” (June 12); “The Carmichael Show” (May 31); “The Night Shift” (June 22); and “Hollywood Game Night” (Aug. 7). And “Saturday Night Live” will spin off four self-standing, half-hour episodes of “Weekend Update,” starting on Aug. 10th.

A $1 entry fee gets you a red stamp on the back of your hand and passage onto the main bank floor, filled with wall-to-wall people. Downstairs is the food. To get there you must pass through a doorway that is too narrow for two-way traffic and seemed to me to be a fire hazard. You pass the old bank vaults with very cool doors, still in place, that are at least a couple of feet wide. The air is heavy, laden with the smell of exotic foods. I don’t know how they passed fire inspection, but just enjoy it. The food stations present fairly standard fare, such as homemade chocolates and sauces at booths surrounding the main hall, where cooks are busy churning out the most interesting concoctions. Most unique was the Wowfull (right), a waffle cooked with air-filled pockets throughout, resembling bubble wrap, then filled with ice cream or chicken and toppings. Not cheap, starting at $9 apiece. Still, they are visually interesting and a tasty and popular treat. Other booths cook up Asian noodles, sushi and Mexican taco dishes, all with a unique twist. A fried chicken slider with chicken that overflowed the tiny bun was about the most mundane food I saw. Unique alcohols and artisanal brews are also served. Finding a place to sit was difficult as there were few tables and chairs scattered about. So, eating in an upright position is usually required. On the mezzanine and main floor there are booths of all types selling everything from homemade furniture to candles, jewelry, vinyl records and even photographs taken on the spot. It has all the things you might expect at a flea market. Beware that the pathway is narrow. Once you start the tour around, you can’t easily turn back. Vintage and handmade clothing seems very popular. Tables of old ties, pocket knives, hats, scarves and jewelry pieces are on display at large tables. The crowds pour through it all. There weren’t any dressing rooms or mirrors as far as I could see. And I doubt returns would be in order. If you see something of interest, you’d better buy

businesses on Guadalupe Street west of the UT campus in Austin. Her parents, emigrants from India, owned the store for more than 40 years. She worked at the store through her youth and college. “I always thought I would take it over one day,” Patel said. “I loved it. Retail has always been in my blood.” When she decided to leave accounting and search for a business to own in Dallas, the usual opportunities like dry cleaners, car washes and liquor stores surfaced. “I wanted that perfect fit,” Patel said. “I didn’t want to buy something to buy something. I wanted to love what I was doing.” Through a broker, Patel found Apples to Zinnias that Aiken was wanting to sell so she could concentrate on family. “She was very particular on who she sold to. She didn’t want just anyone.” So, with one signature on a contract, Patel, a mother of two, went from flow charts to flowers. Presentations to presents. “It took me almost two seasons to really understand what I was doing,” Patel said. “I was good at the books. I was really good at making sure that the bills were paid and we were profitable. Everything that an accounting and finance background are valuable for. Without those things, [you] can lead a small business to failure quickly. But thank goodness I had a great team.” Part of recent renovations to The Plaza at Preston Center store was opening up the area where the floral arrangements are crafted so that longtime customers could continue to see the faces behind the beautiful arrangements. Many of the designers have worked at Apples to Zinnias for more than10 years. “I relied on them to carry on the tradition. I just sort of shadowed them to learn what they were doing,” Patel said. “They are so committed to the shop, as if it was their own. And I wanted them [customers] to be reassured that nothing was going to change.” Throughout the years, while no longer providing catering, Apples to Zinnias has maintained a reputation for personal service and high quality in the floral business. “We pride ourselves that we are not cookie-cutter,” Patel said. “We treat every order like it is our own. We know most of our customers by first name.” While the shop can rely on busy times like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and the winter holidays, Patel must keep her business serving the needs of loyal customers year-round. And while the fresh flower is still a mainstay, Patel’s shop has evolved into providing arrangements that never die. “Silks!” Patel said, which now make up about 30 percent of their business. “The silks is where we differentiate ourselves from just a flower business. We are so selective in the silks we bring in here.” A variety of silk arrangements are available at the store or designers will go to a home and create a custom look. “Some come in and pick up an existing silk arrangement, or people come in and we build a silk arrangement for their house or for their office,” Patel said. “They last for years.” Just like Apples to Zinnias has lasted for 30 years.

MULL IT OVER
Keeping wealth in era of high contracts
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com When Dwayne Johnson or Johnny Depp makes $20 million to headline a movie, people hardly blink. When a young athlete makes millions to play a child’s game, everyone is outraged. It is critical that a star athlete has a plan for his or her money. Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson and Ronnie Lott are the poster children for how to maintain financial independence after their playing career is over with sound planning and shrewd investments. But for every millionaire pro ball player enjoying his or her retirement, there are far more stars that have squandered their money and ended up with nothing. Football’s Vince Young and Terrell Owens, 15-year NBA veteran Derrick Coleman, WNBA talent and three-time Olympic gold medalist Sheryl Swoopes and Major League Baseball player Lenny Dykstra are just a few athletes that have filed for bankruptcy shortly after their careers ended after making millions of dollars in sports. According to Sports Illustrated, the number of athletes that squander their professional earnings is staggering. An estimated 78 percent of NFL players and 60 percent of NBA players go bankrupt or are under financial stress in just two years and five years, respectively, after their retirement. It doesn’t take long for the money to be long gone. DaRayl Davis is a Washington D.C.-based wealth management guru who specializes in helping rich people — including athletes — balance lifestyle against exorbitant and unnecessary expenditures. His basic premise for professional athletes may sound a bit simple, but he is dealing with people not accustomed to such immediate windfalls of cash. Davis refers to it as “sudden wealth syndrome.” Davis, 44, tells his clients to “set aside a substantial amount

DaRayl Davis. that can perpetuate a standard of living and lifestyle and the legacy that you want to leave.” He calls it his “70-10-10-10” plan or “70-30” system. “No more than 70 percent of the money that you earn goes out on lifestyle expenditures,” Davis said. “Ten percent on passive capital like money spent with investors. Set it and forget it. Do 10 percent to the church or some sort of charity or philanthropic effort. Put 10 percent in active capital for what happens after [sports], like a franchise, a business, an enterprise so that you have something else going on. But those numbers can dial way down. I like to flip it to 30 percent lifestyle.” Davis grew up in Chicago and moved to Washington D.C. He attended Howard University, studying electrical engineering. While in college, the money he was getting for college ran out. Davis discovered that big money could be made in the insurance industry. He left Howard and quickly moved up the ranks in the largest African American-owned insurance agency in the country, making a six-figure income at a very early age. He knew that he had to learn the skills necessary to make sure than his wealth was well-managed. His advice to the teenage “one and done” college basketball player that goes directly from a year of college into the NBA is, “You’ve
achieved a level of expertise. You have achieved a skill set. You have a tool set that warrants you going to the NBA. Now you need a mindset outside of the sport to understand the business of the sport and to begin to build your systems whether that is with who you sign up with as your agent, your manager, your team to manage the business of the sport for you while you are executing on the court and handling the physical part. The business part is all too often overlooked.” Davis has designed an online learning program called Smart Money Academy, with the mission “to teach individuals intelligent strategies, processes and best practices for how to think and make decisions about money.” “Human engineering” he calls it. More information is at smartmoneyacademy.com. Recently, the NHL granted an expansion team and the NFL gave authorization to the Oakland Raiders to move to Las Vegas. Temptation runs rampant in “Sin City.” “Certainly, whenever you are going into an environment, you want to be aware of the environmental hazards,” Davis said. “[Las] Vegas has its own environmental hazards. To wake up there — more than you would wake up there — certainly has its implications. Not that they [pro athletes] didn’t have access to go there working in another city and being part of an organization. The hazards are worthy of observation and consideration in how you operate in that environment. “Just as you should have — coming into the league — a system and a plan, moving into a city like that, you must have a system and a plan.” Davis equated it to being in California — where he keeps a high-profile office in the Hollywood Hills — where you can go to the beach or go to the mountains on any given day. “It is all about preparation,” Davis said. “You can deal with any environment if you are prepared and if you are aware.”

Just why did you do that?
By Turner Cavender turner@dallasfbbc.com
Elephant that anytime they disagree about which direction to go, the Rider will lose. The Elephant is made up of your emotions and instincts. The Elephant prefers the comfort and security of a well-trodden path, even if a new path leads to a better outcome — this is why it’s so difficult to change your habits. The Elephant has enormous strengths: love and compassion and sympathy and loyalty. The Elephant is the one who gets things done. The Path is your surrounding environment in the context which the Rider and the Elephant operate. A rocky Path makes change hard, if not impossible, even when the Rider and the Elephant work together. There are three steps to lasting change. Direct the Rider. Change begins with a plan, and it’s the Rider who comes up with plans. Direct your Rider to analyze what’s right on what works. When you’ve lost weight and made progress towards your fitness goals in the past, what worked for you? Focus on these bright spots rather than on potential problems related to your desired change. Once you’ve come up with a plan, move on. It’s important to move quickly and to avoid getting bogged down with paralysis by analysis. Motivate the Elephant. In order for the plans of your Rider to succeed, your Elephant must feel emotionally invested in the outcome. Find an emotional connection that you feel deep down in relation to the goal. Don’t just think about why you want to achieve your goal — feel why you need to achieve your goal. Shape the Path. Make change easy. Reduce obstacles in your life, so that the new desired behavior is frictionless. Move the barriers between you and the actions that you want to take. Lay out your workout clothes the night before. Spend time in the morning to prep all of your healthy daily meals. Get a trainer to hold you accountable to showing up to your workouts. The key to effective change is getting the Elephant and the Rider moving together on a smooth path to success. Do this and you’ll stop doing things that you later regret. If getting into the best shape of your life is a current goal that you wish you could achieve, then call or email me today. I’m here to help you direct your Rider, motivate your Elephant and shape your Path. I won’t rest until your goal has become a reality!
Have you ever acted against your better judgment? Hmmm, of course you have. We all have. Sometimes you do things that you later regret. And this Turner Cavender keeps you from achieving that lean, sexy body that you want. You hit snooze rather than waking up early to exercise before work. You blow off your healthy eating plan to indulge in a hamburger and fries. You start an exercise program only to drop out two weeks into it. These regrettable actions prevent you from achieving your goals and keep you stuck. Most of us are all too familiar with this frustrating paradox. It’s almost as if there are two sides inside of you, raging war on each other. It is your sensible side versus your emotional side. What you want versus what you do. A psychologist named Jonathan Haidt came up with a mental model that explains exactly why you do things that you wish you hadn’t — and how to take control to finally do the actions necessary to get what you really want. “The image I came up with for myself, as I marveled at my weakness [of willpower], was that I was a rider on the back of an elephant,” Haidt explained in his book The Happiness Hypothesis. I’m holding the reins in my hands, and by pulling one way or the other I can tell the elephant to turn, to stop, or to go. I can direct things, but only when the elephant doesn’t have desires of his own. When the elephant really wants to do something, I’m no match for him.” Human decision making is like a tiny rider on a massive elephant. The rider may think he’s in charge, but the elephant always wins. The Elephant, the Rider and the Path are a great framework for understanding yourself and what drives you. All human change depends on it. Here’s Haidt’s mental model for creating lasting change in greater detail. The Rider is your rational and analytical side. The Rider is a visionary that has the ability to think long-term, to plan, and that is willing to make shortterm sacrifices for long-term payoffs. The Rider loves to contemplate and analyze, has limited reserves of Turner Cavender, CPT, is owner of Dallas Fit strength, suffers from paralysis by analysis and relent- Body Boot Camp and world renowned online perlessly focuses on problems rather than solutions.

AUTOMOBILITY
Ford Focus makes sweet music By David Boldt
djboldt@sbcglobal.net In “Maybellene,” singer/songwriter Chuck Berry was rather famously David Boldt ‘Motorvatin’ over the hill and saw “Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville.” In the lyric, Berry goes on to claim “nothin’ will outrun my V8 Ford,” and while that was possibly true over 60 years ago, it’s not true today. For a clear example of what a young Chuck Berry would drive in 2017, we proudly present Ford’s Focus RS. The recipe for Ford performance has been the same since a young Hank Ford squeezed what looked like a locomotive powertrain between two frame rails, mounted wheels, a seat and handlebars for pilot Barney Oldfield, and set about launching Ford’s own automotive history with his 999. Over succeeding generations it was Ford’s Flathead V8 occupying the space once taken by anemic 4-cylinders or Carroll Shelby’s high-compression take on the 260 and 289 V8s. More recently it’s been an EcoBoost boost to the lineup, combining turbocharging with smaller displacement to improve fuel economy while not reducing performance. Ford’s EcoBoost-equipped pickups are selling like McDonald’s all-day breakfast menu, and permutations of same — the engines, not the hotcakes — are spread widely among Ford’s lineup of cars and crossovers. Its latest iteration has shown up in the humble Focus, boasting 2.3 liters of high-output turbocharged compression connected to a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. It’s a combo to drive for. This, of course, isn’t Ford’s first hot hatch. Variations depend a great deal on what we call hot, but as Mini and — later — Volkswagen did the heavy lifting in shaping the hot hatch segment, Ford was throwing more power at Escorts, Fiestas and, more recently, the Focus. Until the RS, the U.S. never received the truly hot stuff, perhaps because that over-the-top performance typically came with over-the-top pricing. Instead we received the Focus ST, a not-inconsiderable combination of cadence and capability, but sending an immodest amount of power (252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque) only through the front wheels. The RS bumps that power up, generating an oh-so-symmetrical 350 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. And to make that math work on the highways and byways of America (and keep
Cadillacs in your rearview mirror regardless of weather), the guys at the testing center gave the RS a performance-skewed all-wheel drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring. This, we’re told, can distribute 100 percent of available torque to either rear wheel. And with 350 horsepower, they should probably introduce a dually. Thankfully, visual enhancements to the RS are few. The front fascia is more aggressive and the hatch-mounted rear spoiler seems more dominant than the one offered on the ST, but that seems about it. Of course, the RS sits on a 19-inch forged aluminum wheelset surrounded by Michelin’s Super Sport Pilots. The Michelins are perfect for your track-based fantasies but less than perfect for the pock-marked hustle to your local Whole Foods. If the F&I guy or gal offers wheel and tire insurance, buy it. Our test Focus, fitted with the RS2 package, includes leather-trimmed Recaros with an Alcantara-like insert. This seat is absolutely golden on the track, less so if 18 months removed from back surgery. We’d hope to spec seating less aggressive for street duty and – if going to the track – keep an easily swapped track-specific Recaro in the hatch. Or, as an alternative, strategically-placed Velcro on the driver’s suit. Beyond the seat, the dash is generally informative and almost intuitive. The sixspeed manual is — as Motor Trend magazine put it — the “type you shift because it’s so enjoyable to row” and the leather-wrapped wheel sits perfectly in your hands. Despite the seat’s power adjustment, we found the ideal seating position somewhat elusive. We had the RS for but a few days while you — the buyer — could have it for 72 payments! As you’ll probably already know, there is any number of ways to spend $40K at a dealership. That money will easily buy you BMW’s 228, a well-equipped Audi A3 or the new Alfa Giulia. But nowhere will you be able to buy 350 honest-to-Henry horses for anywhere close to that, other than a Ford store and the Focus RS. With Chuck Berry’s passing, we can only imagine what he would do when seeing a Cadillac doing “‘bout ninety-five.” But we’ll guess he’d grab today’s Focus RS, as his old V8 is just so midcentury. Hard rock. And no roll. David Boldt brings years of experience in automotive retail sales and public relations to his automotive reporting. More can be found at txGarage.com.
