Dig the jig for St. Patrick’s Day at a new, family-friendly celebration this weekend at Winfrey Point. Lakewood native and Riverdance performer Kincaid Stringer has created an Irish bash overlooking the lake on Sunday, March 15 from 1 until 5 pm. It’s a “reel” good time for a good cause.

“St. Patrick’s has become so much of a drunken, dis-orderly problem in Dallas. I wanted to offer something for families in a beautiful place where real Irish culture is celebrated and offered to anyone,” he said.

Having just completed a 13-week tour of China with the iconic dance com-pany that he joined in 2011, Stringer has gathered several of his dance friends to help everyone get in on the green. Guests can enjoy vittles from

The great honor of host-ing Gary Lee Price (pictured on the right), sculptor of The Statue Of Responsibility and personal development speaker, alongside the Grand Opening of the Real Estate Investing Apprenticeship program will be a once in a lifetime event. A nonprofit movement, The Statue of Responsibility is set to en-hance lives everywhere.

The event is on March 21 at 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Dallas Arboretum. It is open to the public but registration is required.

John Ferguson of Real Deal Real Estate Investors, a Dallas Texas real estate in-vesting community, is set to speak about Personal Wealth Creation through real estate investing and personal re-sponsibility. Each month, he hosts a Super Saturday event of personal development, real estate investing, and market-ing and sales training for his apprenticing team members.

an Irish food truck, live music from the local Irish band “Jigsaw,” a wee bit o’ whiskey from the cash bar and plenty of lively, authentic Irish dance.

Stringer and his friends will perform and give basic instruction on beginner Irish steps. Guests can join together in ceílí (cay’-lee) dancing — a popular form of Irish folk dancing, which Stringer will lead. No previ-ous experience required and all ages are encouraged. “If I can figure it out, anyone can,” Stinger laughed, “and there will be plenty of people there all learning together, so it’ll be fun!”

“I loved to compete, but the ceílí dances were the best. My friends and I spent many late nights at the Tipperary Inn as kids. Somehow those opportuni-ties in Dallas have dwin-dled,” he added.

“Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is respon-sibleness.

In recognition of March as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake is giving away free take-home kits for personal screening for colon cancer.

Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death for men and women in the United States. The good news is, when detected early, colon cancer has a 90 per-cent survival rate. Annual screenings are crucial to early detection and the American Cancer Society recommends that adults aged 50 and older should have a colonoscopy every 10 years. While a colo-noscopy is the best way to detect colon cancer, the take-home blood detection kits

offer a simple screening that can be done in the privacy of your own home. These easy-to-use kits are mess-free and fast. Simply drop a flushable test strip in the toilet and wait for the color to change. The color change should tell you whether or not blood is pres-ent in the stool, which is an indication of colon cancer as well as other conditions.

During Colon Cancer Awareness Month in March, get your free* EZ DETECT colon cancer kit from Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake. To request your FREE kit, call 866-764-3627. For more information about colonos-copies and other healthcare services available at Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake, call 866-764-3627 or visit DoctorsHospitalDallas.com.

* $7.99 retail value. Limit two kits per household,

please. Offer good while sup-plies last.

Forget about “spring has sprung.” I feel like I’ve been launched into the fu-ture. There is so much going on in our community these days my head is swim-ming with excitement.

First stop on the local events train is, of course, The Annual St. Patrick’s Parade on Saturday, March 14.

This year’s parade organizers prom-ise a more family-friendly event for 2015. Plans in-clude a Family Zone and Mavs Corner. For more

Lawrence RandallAugust, 1937 – February, 2015

Larry Randall, known internationally with affec-tion as “The Saxman,” passed away Feb. 26 while on vaca-tion with his wife, Orlano, in Pagosa Springs, Colo. His funeral was Friday, March 6. He was 77 and lived in Irving with Orlano. Randall was an ordained minister in good standing with the Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches and Ministers International. He and Orlano headed the min-istry of Joshua Experience, “God’s Big Band.”

Randall was born Aug. 30, 1937 to Dale and Elizabeth Pigg. Both of his parents were musicians and teachers. He studied music at North Texas State University.

During his musical ca-reer, Randall played with legends like Tony Bennett, Al Hurt, Judy Garland, Pete Fountain, Bob Hope and

many others. He founded The Big Beats band, with his friends and fellow mu-sicians CW Kendall, Earl Slocumb, Bobby Rambo and Billy Mitchell in 1957. The band, with which he played throughout his life, features music from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.

According to his friends, “Fifteen years ago (while performing) on a cruise ship in the Indian Ocean, God clearly spoke to Larry’s heart, inspiring him to use his musi-cal gifts for a higher purpose. From this new vision, ‘The Joshua Experience’ was born, creating a new sound of wor-ship exalting the Lord Jesus Christ. From the quiet sounds of the clarinet to the blast of the trumpets, this collec-tion of professional big band musicians and singers from a variety of backgrounds and denominations send their message of faith, hope and love to all. Their mission is to take the message of Christ’s salvation with this unique format through the world.”

The musician met his wife, Orlano, at a Bible study in Euless. They were married in 2007. In 2012, they took the band on a mission trip to

London.He and Orlano led

weekly home church services for almost five years, with their Bible studies being posted on the Joshua Experience website.

Randall was pre-ceded in death by both of his parents, his step-mother, Faye Pigg and his sister, Linda Pigg Schroeder.

He is survived by his wife and his daughters, Kelly Randall Moore and her husband Dean of Dallas, Kristin Randall Graham and her hus-band Bobby and their son, Lane, of Castle Hills, Lewisville,

Texas. Fellow musician and dear friend, Earl Slocumb, co-founded the Big Beats with Randall in 1957.

“He was the best sax man that anyone ever heard from around here,” Slocumb said. “We had a lot of fun in the band. We were on ‘American Bandstand’ in 1959 the same day as Paul Anka. Our man-ager was also Buddy Holly’s manager. In the ’60s we played in Vegas. We played in local clubs like Lou Ann’s and the Cabana. At one time we were playing at That Place across the Street in the ’70s.”

The band became regu-lars at Pocket Sandwich Theater and gathered a cadre of fans. “He was right beside me when we played. We even did some choreography to-gether,” Slocumb said.

Slocumb became emo-tional as he talked about his friend. “I love him like a brother. We were brothers. I’m going to miss playing with him. I miss everything about him, and I feel like there’s a hole in my heart.”

muLL it oVeRCommish a quick change artist

By David Mullen

Rob Manfred is the new commissioner of Major League Baseball. So far, he has come into the office with a briefcase full of changes and quick fixes for immediate con-sideration. All are worthy of contemplation and discussion but not much more, because basically there is one overrid-ing factor.

Baseball is not broken. Ask any sports fan of

their first memory as a youth regarding sports, and chances are they will not reminisce about the first time they walked through a NFL park-ing lot full of drunken fans and broken bottles breathing in the smells of barbeque ribs and urine.

It won’t be about walk-ing into a half empty arena 15 minutes before NBA game time, while players are stretch-ing their hamstrings and gluteus to be able to properly carry their bloated wallets in their back pockets without pulling a muscle.

I doubt it will be the first time they saw a fight draw blood at a NHL hockey game, where a five-minute pen-alty on the ice is five years in prison on the streets. And God forbid, it would be the first time they saw the referee spray antiseptic on the canvas inside of the cage at a MMA match.

Chances are, a child’s first memory of sports is a base-ball game. It is the smell of the green grass and the beauti-fully kept surroundings. The civility of the crowd clad in uniforms and ball caps. You remember the opportunity to root for your favorite player on the home team or see that superstar up close from the away team. You might catch a

where a pitcher must pitch, and a hitter must hit. And if umpires were held by the true strike zone — letters to knees — instead of their own inter-pretation, there would be less walks, more balls in play and quicker games.

He has talked of reduc-ing the number of games from 162 to 154. That’s fine, but less revenue for teams mean less money for the play-ers, which the Player’s Union won’t accept. And less games means higher ticket prices for the fans and that is simply unacceptable.

The American League has the designated hitter (DH) and the National League does not. That is stupid. I hate the DH, but it is now taught through little league to high school to college to the minor leagues. In spring training this year, National League teams playing each other are using the DH. Either implement it in both leagues or get rid of it. Unify leagues with the DH, and baseball will see more of-fense. Eliminate the DH and the Player’s Union will see baseball in court. So put it in both leagues.

Manfred is looking into eliminating the shift on pull hitters. Ridiculous, I say. It

foul ball, a home run or snag an autograph.

You watch fielding prac-tice and batting practice and the final preparation of the diamond before game time. The watering of the dirt and the chalking of the lines be-fore the first pitch seems so serene, yet builds up the an-ticipation. No loud music or laser light shows, just the calm of the field being prepared fairly and evenly. A ballpark is the only place that plays organ music other than a church.

But the new commission-er is worried that the game is too long to captivate the atten-tion of today’s children, and more importantly, capture the attention of the video game generation. Along with length of an average game — shorter than a NFL game by the way — he believes that more of-fense is needed. It appears he wants “Arena Baseball,” like Arena Football that shortened the football field, sped up play and relied on offense to attract (few) fans.

“The issue of attracting a younger audience,” Manfred told AP, “and a pace of game is related.”

Manfred is looking at instituting a pitcher’s (or bat-ter’s) clock in the outfield. That is not necessary. Umpires just must enforce the rules

Life throws us a lot of curve balls. Some small. Others mas-sive and certainly not in our plans. We humans are designed to prepare ourselves, accept these challenges and adjust our lives accordingly. Sadly, our pets don’t have the same qualities that we humans do in cop-ing with life-changing events, many of which unexpectedly occur at the blink of an eye. Or the wag of a furry tail.

Last week, I received sev-eral email-pleas from animal advocates ranging from East Dallas to East Texas, shar-ing the story of Hagan and Shelby — two extremely loved, middle-aged dogs, whose pet parent was a woman battling pancreatic cancer.

Due to the severity of her illness, Hagan and Shelby’s dog-mom, Jane, recently re-located to a small town north of Dallas while her city home

By Mary [email protected]

sold, causing Hagan and Shelby to move temporarily to the Forest Lane Animal Clinic in Garland. Jane’s real-tor Claire Hill, a major ani-mal lover herself, is currently

paying for boarding, and the bill continues to escalate everyday.

Claire is the type of real-tor who not only truly cares for her clients, but goes the extra

steps to ensure that an entire family is cared for — includ-ing any furry family members. Therefore, Claire took in the orphans, Hagan and Shelby, with high hopes of finding them a home together, not real-izing how difficult it can be to adopt two dogs together.

After a month of board-ing at the vet office/kennel (an unfamiliar environment so dif-ferent from their former home), without their dog-mom or the ability to understand the grave-ness of Jane’s situation, Hagan and Shelby became more con-fused everyday.

Although Jane had more time to plan her future, and wanted so badly to include Hagan and Shelby, she was forced to make decisions she had hoped would never hap-pen, which puzzled her furry family even more.

Now, after a much longer time of boarding, Claire may adopt them separately; her goal is to find both Hagan and Shelby a loving home, hope-fully with siblings of their own and an adopted parent with plenty of time and love.

Hagan and Shelby’s story would touch anyone’s heart. Knowing how badly Jane felt see yAPPy on page 10

ANIMAL UPDATE

about losing her furry kids, while facing her own battle everyday without them by her side, makes it even more tragic. Jane’s wish is that Hagan and Shelby will find the right home (or homes) to spend many fu-ture wonderful years.

So many of the most heartbreaking situations occur when a pet owner becomes critically ill, with no family to take the pets, as in Jane’s situation.

This happens more often than people think. People love their pets, consider them fam-ily, but many don’t consider what might happen to them if something unexpected and catastrophic occurs, causing the pet parent to face a termi-nal illness or suddenly lose their life.

It’s hard to imagine that our own pets, snuggled up co-zily with us on the sofa, could ever possibly face orphan-hood in a shelter environment. Even if there is family, sometimes immediate family may not make the best choices for your pet, without knowing your wishes.

The best solution is to consider your pets’ lives now, before anything unexpectantly

happens, much as you would do for a child or another fam-ily member. Talk to the person you want your pet to go to and make your wishes explicitly known. Share information about the pet’s medications, vet records, their habits, likes and dislikes before the unex-pected occurs, which will make everyone’s life less stressful. If no family or friends would provide the type of home you would want, talk to organiza-tions like the SPCA of Texas or Operation Kindness about their programs.

For anyone with pets, it is never too early to begin these types of conversations.

If more people thought about this sooner rather than later, a situation like Hagan and Shelby might never happen. And their story, shared below by Hagan, might not have touched the hearts of so many animal lovers during the last few weeks:

Hello, my name is Hagan and I am a seven-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Tervuren, which is from the shepherd fam-ily. While some shepherd breeds are known to be protective and


The coming week is likely to require an increased level of awareness — of internal pro-cesses and rhythms, as well as external forces and influences. These inward and outward elements of one's energy and experience will combine in interesting and perhaps wholly unexpected ways, demanding, in a sense, "eyes in the back of one's head," so that nothing important is missed and every-thing finds its proper place in the landscape of perception. Knowing what is going on is only half the battle, of course; much depends on an indi-vidual's ability to separate the wheat from the chaff and build reserves that can be used in lean times, when things are not so clear.

Pride can be a danger this

week; anyone who is too willing to believe the good things that are said about him or her runs the risk of increasing personal vulnerability — for there are always those who would like to knock such individuals off of their pedestals. Remember: The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

PisCes

(Feb. 19-march 5)You'll be watching the world pass by from a safe and com-fortable perch during the first part of the week. What lessons can you learn? (march 6-march 20) – You'll be engaged in a team sport that demands

the utmost in etiquette and consideration.

ARies (march 21-April 4)

You may find yourself travel-ing an unfamiliar road, but someone who is by your side can help you navigate around hazards. (April 5-April 19) – You may realize that something completely unexpected is going on between you and a friend.

tAuRus (April 20-may 5)

Your eagerness to prove your-self may actually work against you as you expose yourself to one or two unnecessary risks. (may 6-may 20) – You can capitalize on a mistake made by someone who is trying to go too fast. What is to be learned, and how can you avoid the same fate?

Gemini (may 21-June 6)

You may be sorry to see a cer-tain personal phase come to an end, but excited to see it re-placed by one that holds much promise. (June 7-June 20) – The more you practice with others, the sooner the whole team will begin working like a well-oiled machine.

CAnCeR (June 21-July 7)

You may have much to do to please someone who is expect-ing something special. You know how to do what you must! (July

8-July 22) – Random events af-fect you profoundly. Some may actually have you stepping up your creative efforts and explor-ing new options.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 7)

You may be one of the last to fit yourself into a situation that favors what you have to offer. Those who come behind you will have trouble. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – A message that comes to you through unconventional channels must be heard, digest-ed and acted upon immediately.

ViRGo (Aug. 23-sept. 7)

You mustn't let another's words of warning keep you from ex-ploring what is laid out before you. A bold approach can work! (sept. 8-sept. 22) – Someone who is getting closer to you may be asking more than you can give, but that may change very soon.

LiBRA (sept. 23-oct. 7)

On with the show! You've pre-pared fully and considered what you will do if asked to engage in an extended run. (oct. 8-oct. 22) – You're no beginner, but it may seem as though you're experiencing certain things for the very first time.

sCoRPio (oct 23-nov. 7)

The curtain may rise on a scene that you have assembled with

great care, though there are certain variables that you can't control. (nov. 8-nov. 21) – As one thing fades from view, you'll begin to notice something on the horizon that carries with it much more potential.

sAGittARius (nov. 22-Dec. 7)

Take care that you don't let envy control you. Sure, you admire what another has done, but maintain a positive view. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – It's time for you to get what you deserve, and you can make things happen that satisfy you on many different levels.

CAPRiCoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 6)

No rainfall is going to keep you from doing what you've planned so carefully — and for so long. You can weather any storm! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may be anticipating a trouble-free week, but as the weekend approaches, things may seem to jump the track — if only briefly.

AQuARius (Jan. 20-Feb. 3)

Sorrows should be few. The joys you experience as a result of doing what you do best can erase almost any negative feel-ings. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may have pushed yourself to the limit recently, but you'll have a chance to replenish those stores of energy and enthusiasm.

JAZZ cont'd frompage 1

Singapore Slingers and Razzmajazz Dixieland Band, playing a repertoire of tradi-tional jazz from the 1920s and 1930s. Guests may enjoy danc-ing, picnics, games, vendors and more.

Learn vintage dance steps with instructor Elaine Hewlett of the Rhythm Room on the wooden dance floor set up on the lawn in front of the bandstand. Costumes are not required but necessary for those wish-ing to participate in the 2:30 p.m. costume contest for best “Lawn Party Attire.” (Think vintage bathing beauties, parasols, walking whites.) Participants will have a chance to win prizes from area shops and restau-rants like Curiosities and St. Martin’s. Bring your cameras and pose in front of one of the Model A Fords (also avail-able for rides) on display from Vintage Coach. Try your hand at a game or two of croquet and horseshoes, tour the his-toric buildings of the village and visit with vintage vendors featuring clothing, jewelry

and antiques. Enjoy vintage vendors including Savannah Hoffman Designs and Ahoy Cruises.

Bring a blanket, lawn chairs and a picnic and soak up the atmosphere with your family. Enjoy turn-of-the-century music by the Singapore

Slingers, the foxtrot orchestra that the Dallas Observer calls, “the city’s coolest, quirkiest, retro jazz group. Carnival Barker’s ice creams will be dishing up some delicious des-sert, Cokes, lemonade, water, popcorn and cotton candy will be available, all for purchase. The Easy Slider food truck will also be on site.

“This event, which is

the brainchild of our good friend Matt Tolentino of the Singapore Slingers, was so much fun last year,” Melissa Prycer, president and execu-tive director of Dallas Heritage Village, said. “This 18-piece jazz orchestra plays each year at our History with a Twist

fundraiser and will again on April 25. Matt’s love for vintage is evident not only in his daily wear, but in his founding of the Art Deco Society of Dallas last year and in his ongoing efforts to preserve the music of generations past, bringing the music of yesterday to the mod-ern audience of today.”

“For a couple of years I have wanted Dallas to get

on the same page as some other big cities and host a big, vintage-inspired event,” Matt Tolentino added. “Both New York and Los Angeles host huge and amazing Jazz Age inspired lawn parties, and this event got off to a great start last year! It could easily become

one of the biggest, grandest, vintage-inspired events that Dallas has ever seen. Dallas Heritage Village is the ideal setting with its lush greens, new bandstand and historic setting. The Jazz Age Sunday Social offers something for everyone — couples, fami-lies and all lovers of things vintage.”

Kids 12 and under free. All others are $10. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. This year, a lim-ited number of patron tickets

($25) will be available including entry at 11 a.m. (an hour before event begins), a more exclu-sive dance lesson with Elaine Hewlett of the Rhythm Room at 11:30 a.m., and a code for $10 off tickets to Dallas Heritage Village’s April 25 fundraiser History with a Twist. Patron tickets must be purchased by Friday, March 20 and will not be available at the door.

Recipe of the week

Roasting brings out the sweet nuttiness of the cabbage. It’s a perfect side for roast BBQ pork or brisket.

Juice of 2 lemons2 teaspoons whole grain mustard1 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing on cabbage1 cup crumbled blue cheese1 head green cabbage1 cup toasted walnutsSalt and pepper

Heat the oven to 450F. Heat an ovenproof pan on medium-high.

Whisk together the lemon juice and mus-tard, then gradually whisk in the oil. Stir in the blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut the head into 6 wedges, leaving the core in-tact. Brush the cut sides with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the cabbage in the pan cut side down. Sear for 5 minutes or until brown. Turn care-fully, and brown for 3 minutes more. Transfer to the oven and bake until tender, about 5 minutes.

To serve, spoon the vinaigrette over each wedge and sprinkle with walnuts.

Jersey mike's ready to help wipe out cancer

By Lisa Linehan

Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer (WOKC), a DFW-based nonprofit organization dedi-cated to raising awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research, is joining forces with 30 Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants through-out the DFW area for the 6th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising cam-paign. During the month of March, customers can make donations to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer at any area Jersey Mike’s restaurant. The cam-paign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wed., March 25, when 100 percent of the day’s sales from DFW-area Jersey Mike’s loca-tions will go directly to Wipe

Out Kids’ Cancer. On the March 25 Day of Giving, all DFW area Jersey Mike’s res-taurants will donate 100 per-cent of the day’s sales — every single dollar that comes in — to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer. For a list of participating restaurants in your area, visit jerseymikes.com/mog. Everyone is invited to visit a Jersey Mike’s restaurant and enjoy a delicious sub meal. Catering and take-out orders count, too!

The tagline used for “Chappie” is “Humanity’s Last Hope Isn’t Human.” If humanity is representative of the people in this movie, the poor robot star of it is really wasting its time. Actually, anyone that sees “Chappie” will be the only humans wast-ing their time. This is 120 minutes of irritating charac-ters, over the top sappiness, and a musical score so loud that it overtakes every single insanely-staged and prepos-terous action scene. It’s ironic that “Chappie” is about arti-ficial intelligence as there is no intelligence in it whatso-ever. Leading the charge into stupidity is Sharlto Copley’s Chappie, a member of the police robot force designed to protect Johannesburg, South Africa in the near future.

Since writer and direc-tor Neill Blomkamp is clearly out of ideas, “Chappie” starts out just like his first film, “District 9.” We learn via fake news reports that the police robot force was de-signed by Deon Wilson (Dev

mechanical ‘Chappie’ needs to be scrapped

Live Music Directory

By Chic DiCiccio

Patel), who works for an evil arms manufacturer run by Michelle Bradley (Sigourney Weaver, fully slumming it).

Even though there seem to be hundreds of thug criminals running around Johannesburg, Blomkamp seemingly decides to make everyone but them the bad guys. The main villain is Vincent (Hugh Jackman), a rival designer of Deon’s that has created a different robot cop that is remotely manned by a human. While Vincent does do several things that are evil, the real atrocities he’s committing involve his mul-let and predilection to wear-ing khaki shorts and knee high socks, making one wish

there were such a thing as the fash-ion police robot force.

Since the movie abandoned all attempts to be grounded in real-ity from the get go, Deon types on a computer for a bit, pounds some Red Bull, then

boom! He creates artificial intelligence. Since he needs a robot to chuck his inven-tion into, he steals the afore-mentioned Chappie, who was about to be taken out of com-mission after taking too much damage. At first, suspension of disbelief allows “Chappie” to be almost watchable. Then Ninja, Yolandi, and Yankie (Ninja, Yo-Landi Visser, Jose Pablo Cantillo) enter the pic-ture. After some truly insane plot developments, they get their loser hands on Chappie, whose newfound conscious-ness makes him act like a newborn puppy.

These scumbags teach Chappie to talk like a highly unskilled rap artist, walk like

he constantly has a limp and, of course, help them steal. The entire time, Copley’s voice work becomes more and more annoying. He con-stantly refers to himself in the first person and calls Yolandi his “mommy” in the creepiest way possible. Blomkamp has essentially made an R-rated, Guttenberg-less version of “Short Circuit.” The only dif-ference here is that the more Chappie talks, the more you may want him decommis-sioned. It doesn’t help that eventually, without any char-acter development or reason, we as audience members are meant to suddenly cheer for the creeps that abducted Chappie. At some point, all “Chappie” can make you hope to see is a robot fight between Vincent’s monster robot and Chappie. It takes what seems like an eternity for it to hap-pen and when it does, it’s hor-ribly boring. Since Blomkamp wants us to have all the feels, he ends it fairly quickly then sends Chappie after Vincent, who of course is to blame in this preposterous scenario.

The effects are top notch, with Copley’s motion cap-ture work for Chappie turn-ing out much better than his silverware-scratching-on-a-plate voice work. This movie proves, yet again, that a direc-tor may be skilled at shooting a movie, but not all of them should be writing screenplays.

In many circles, that is called “Pulling a Shyamalan.”

The main pair of crimi-nals, Ninja and Yolandi, are played by South African rap group Die Antwoord. They should stick to their day job. The only hope is that this duo wanted to be an intentional beat-down. There is nothing to like about their characters to begin with, only mak-ing their irritating acting more difficult to watch. Once “Chappie” mercifully ends, it leaves the door open for a sequel. This has become stan-dard operating procedure for Blomkamp, making one won-der if he actually knows how to make a satisfying ending for a movie.

“District 9” gave Blomkamp a hit movie that was smart and entertaining. Two horrible movies later, all his cinematic goodwill should be burned up. “Chappie” needs to be abandoned.

Kincaid, will provide a small art show of her fine art paintings depicting Irish life as well as a custom water-color to the highest bidder in the raffle. Her work has been commissioned by Tom Landry, Mickey Mantle and Byron Nelson, to name a few.

Other items up for grabs include a bottle of Jameson Crested 10 Irish Whiskey, the only whiskey not ex-ported out of Ireland, pri-vate dance entertainment or instruction from Stringer and other treats. Advance tickets are $15 via email at [email protected] or 214-232-4133, $20 at the door and $45 for a family of four or more.

Randall’s dear friends. He said, “Larry was one of the greatest musicians. If you love rock ‘n roll, you will love his videos.”

Don Smith, also a friend of Randall’s, had this to say about his friend: “Larry Randall was a gifted man. His command of the saxophone and clarinet was phenomenal. He was an entertainer to the core.”

Smith added: “He was also a deeply devout man and an ordained minister who used his music to carry his message about Jesus Christ. I knew Larry only about 15 years but he, like others in the The Big Beats, was walk-ing rock ‘n roll history. He once showed me his journal. Every day of his adult life was

documented in that journal. He, along with band mem-bers C.W. Kendall and Earl Slocumb, opened for many of the big acts in rock’s early years.

They can be heard on the early Buddy Holly records that were recorded in Clovis,

NM and they once appeared on ‘American Bandstand.’ His performance can be seen in a recent video at vimeo.com/121098346.” The family requests that you honor his memory with contributions to joshuaexperience.com for the Rio Mission Crusade.

Coast,” Frankl said.In the 1990s, Dr. Frankl

got together with a small group of individuals to dis-cuss how to make this dream a reality. Dr. James Newman, Dr. Stephen R. Covey and Kevin Hall were among this group that set his vision into reality.

In 1997, Gary Lee Price was commissioned to design the Statue of Responsibility. A group of 12 people flew to Vienna, Austria in 2004 to meet with Elly Frankl, the wife of Viktor. This group included Gary Lee Price, the commissioned sculptor, and Kevin Hall, the original Foundation founder. The purpose of the visit was to obtain the blessing of Elly on the prototype that Gary had created.

stAtue cont'd frompage 1

Price unveiled his sculp-ture that depicts two hands clasped together, at that mo-ment Elly could not contain her emotion.

She invited Gary into Viktor’s private study there in the flat where Viktor had spent most of his life. Located in a small niche amongst his thousands of books was a woodcarving of a man reaching upward with his hands outstretched to-ward heaven.

Elly proceeded to tell Price that this piece of sculp-ture was cherished deeply by Viktor. He had discovered it shortly after his release from the concentration camps. Viktor had to place it on lay-away as he had no money at the time. She continued by telling him that Viktor often used it as a metaphor for responsibility, asking the question: “Where is the hand

reaching back?” She then replied to Gary, “And here you bring me a statue that answers that question.”

That was the moment that Price knew he had to complete this project. As the team returned home, there was much excitement and support shown as many hours of planning and re-search were done. However, during the following years this project remained some-what underground, just wait-ing for the right time for circumstances to align and for this country to be ready to embrace it. That time has arrived.

The group invites the public to join the march to raise awareness for this proj-ect. Meet the sculptor, learn about personal responsibil-ity, liberty, financial free-dom and see Viktor Frankl’s dream.

is part of the strategy of the game. If “Big Papi” can’t hit the ball to the left side, that’s his fault not the game’s prob-lem. In trying to attract a younger audience with more offense, the commissioner must not alienate the devoted fan steeped with strategy and tradition or baseball is in real trouble.

So many of the things that hurt TV viewership of baseball games come directly from the commissioner’s office. There are too many commercials be-tween innings. Starting playoff and World Series games on TV at 8:25 p.m. on the East coast alienates the younger fan, espe-cially on a school night.

Nice try, commissioner, and I applaud your openness to change. Now let’s get to the real crux of the matter keep-ing children from adopting the game generations grew up on. It is too expensive for

muLL cont'd frompage 3

families and kids to go to a game.

The average salary of a baseball player is $4 million. There are more than 21 play-ers slated to make $20 mil-lion or more in 2015. And unlike other professional leagues, these contracts are guaranteed.

Major League Baseball is the only major sport without a salary cap. That means the rich teams can get richer by over-paying and the poor teams have to rely on creative payroll man-agement to survive. While the highest payroll teams don’t al-ways win, one thing is clear. The fans must absorb the cost of overpaid baseball players. And that comes — first and foremost — out of ticket prices.

A cap is something that has to be addressed at the next Player’s Union negotia-tion, but that is years away. However, here is something to institute immediately. Designate an affordable sec-tion in every MLB stadium

with tickets available for chil-dren 13 and under.

Put the seats up high, sec-tion off part of the bleachers, it doesn’t matter. Just make sure that a small percentage of seats in every stadium every day are reserved for kids. And then market the seats through television, video games, comic books and schools.

Give them T-shirts and hats. Have busses pick up kids in neighborhoods and take them to and from the game. Like the NBA does, use young star players like Giancarlo Stanton, Yasiel Puig and Mike Trout to market the product.

Commissioner Manfred, you want to appeal to today’s youth?

“Get kids to the game!” Let them experience the same feeling we did the first time we went to the park. They will never forget that moment, or forget the game. They are the future ambassadors. Not the $25 million left-hander slated for Tommy John surgery.

celebrates its 35th year. And that doesn’t include the folks than inhabit the more than 100 floats. Floats are banned from tossing alcoholic bever-ages into the crowd. The pa-rade begins at 11 a.m.

Title-sponsored by the Dallas Mavericks, more than 100,000 spectators are ex-pected to line the sidewalks from Blackwell Street to SMU Boulevard along upper Greenville Avenue. Once known for raucous and raun-chy behavior, the parade has made an effort to become much more family friendly. No floats representing adult entertainment establishments are allowed and hotspots noted for heavy drinking have been eliminated.

“The biggest change over the last few years is that we have rebranded the parade and tried to change the image

of it from a drunk fest to a more family oriented and traditional type parade,” Tommy Donahue, the longest standing board member on the Greenville Avenue Parade committee and manager of Milo Butterfinger’s on SMU Boulevard, said. “We now have a family zone at the Meadows Building (at Milton Street) and we have a food truck, brew fest and sponsor area in the CVS parking lot (at Lovers Lane).”

The CVS parking lot, now secured by the parade committee, has long been a spot for excessive drink-ing and outlandish behavior. More than 200 police officers are employed by the parade organizers to monitor the parade route.

“We are trying to elimi-nate the problem areas and trying to make it a more fam-ily friendly parade,” Donahue said.

“We still could not do

the parade without Mark Cuban’s help, but we are at a point now where it appears where we’ll make money. That is because we were able to bring in smaller sponsors because of the family zone and things like that. We are getting there.” The parade has raised more than $72,000 for the Dallas Independent School District earmarked for scholarships.

George Riba, recently retired sports reporter/anchor for WFAA 8, will serve as the grand marshal. In addition to the parade, three other events will take place that are not af-filiated with the parade: an 8 a.m. “Dash Down Greenville 5K” begins at Central Market on Lovers Lane; a noon con-cert at Energy Square fea-tures Josh Abbott Band; and an afternoon street party on lower Greenville Avenue at Goodwin Avenue.

over alert, I’m more laid back and a bit on the timid side.

Our mom, Jane, adopted me when I was a pup; then, about five years later, she ad-opted Shelby for my BFF.

We have been brothers ever since. Shelby is what they call a “mixed-breed fellow;” most likely heritage from a golden re-triever, Lab, and/or Rhodesian ridgeback. Shelby still acts like a puppy sometimes and is very playful and curious.

Shelby and I are both very healthy guys; we are both “fixed” and up to date on our vaccines and monthly heart-worm preventative. Both of us are in temporary “school” at the boarding place and the nice staff is helping us learn commands and to walk more politely on a leash. I have heard them say that Shelby and I are both quick learners and that we are very smart.

We each weigh between

60- 65 pounds, so a nice yard that would allow us to run and play together would be great. Except for our playtime in the yard, we stayed inside, keeping our dog-mom, Jane, company and making her laugh a lot.

When Mom Jane first went

to the hospital, we had to stay alone outdoors in our backyard, and a neighbor came over to feed us. That was hard for us to understand this initial change in our lives; but being together has helped us a lot during this difficult time.

Mom Jane’s first wish is that we could go to a loving home and continue our lives together. If that could happen, she would feel peaceful about us, because she loves Shelby and me with all her heart. We would definitely offer a new pet parent or family a lot of love, affection, loyalty and laughs.”

Please call Claire Hill at 469-328-9375 to see if she thinks we might be a good fit. If you don’t have room in your own home for us, please consider helping with our boarding bill so that our good Samaritan Claire will not be left covering it all herself. For that, she would be so grateful!

Big sloppy kisses,Hagan (on behalf of Shelby and me)Yes, critical illnesses and

catastrophes can change a life in an instant. Make sure you have your pets’ future long-term care covered so they don’t end up like Hagan and Shelby — in a situation left for others to decide their fate!

Mike’s, we are making a dif-ference in the fight for better treatments and the search for a cure,” Evelyn Costolo, CEO for Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer, said. “Jersey Mike’s understands the importance of standing together for the future of our children. The funds raised through the Month of Giving will provide funding for critical research

projects that give hope to our vision of a day when all chil-dren are living cancer free.”

“I would like to extend a personal invitation to come in and enjoy a Jersey Mike’s sub during our Month of Giving,” Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, said. “This year we hope to raise more than $2.5 million to support these local causes so we can help all those involved with the charities and make a dif-ference in people’s lives.”
