Abbott ready to continue fight for texasBy Reeve HamiltonThe Texas Tribune
In a moment he called “highly improbable,” Greg Abbott officially became the 48th governor of Texas in a ceremony on the south steps of the Texas Capitol on Tuesday. His wife, Cecilia Abbott, be-came the first Latina first lady of Texas.
Roughly 30 years ago, when he was 26, an oak tree fell on Abbott as he was jogging by, paralyzing him from the waist down. He is the first governor in the state’s history to use a wheelchair.
“I am living proof that we live in a state where a young man’s life can literally be broken in half, and yet he can still rise up and be governor of this great state,” Abbott said in his speech after taking the oath of office.
He was sworn in by Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice

Development officer excited about new challenges
Veteran fundraiser, busi-nesswoman and commu-nity leader Patty Leyendecker has been hired as the Chief Development Officer for the Young Women’s Preparatory Network.
Leyendecker brings a strong corporate and non-profit background to Young Women’s Prep. She previously worked in the financial ser-vices industry, running state-wide marketing campaigns for Bank One, and had her own consulting firm manag-ing lines of business for fi-nancial services companies. She left the for-profit world after a family illness and took on leadership roles in several nonprofit organizations, such as the Junior League of Dallas, Genesis Women’s Shelter, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center Board and Foundation, Visiting Nurse Association, see women on page 11
Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) will begin its 11th Citizen’s Fire Academy (CFA) Thursday, March 26. Primary consideration will be afforded to citizens of Dallas 18 years of age or older.
The selected applicants will meet every Thursday evening, for eight weeks, at the department’s Training Center, located at 5000 Dolphin Road, Dallas, 75223. The initial class will be hosted
Gov. Abbott and his family, wife Cecilia and daughter Audrey, on Tuesday morning during his inauguration ceremony in Austin.
When you marry dra-matic aerialists, brilliant acrobats and larger than life special effects, with the art of graceful equestrianism, it sounds like something spectacular.
According to Darren Charles, “Odysseo’s” resident director and choreographer, a spectacle is exactly what to expect. “It’s a magical journey from the start to the end,” he said. “You feel the emotions of the riders and performers. There’s nothing like it.”
After a phenomenon called “Cavalia” thrilled Dallas audiences nine years ago, the company will return to Frisco with the new pro-duction, “Odysseo,” open-ing Jan. 24 at the White Big Top at Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco.

Dallas museum of Art joins DARt for contestDallas Area Rapid
Transit (DART) is encourag-ing local students to share their DART explorations in its 2015 Annual Student Art Contest hosted with com-munity partners The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) and Dallas Contemporary and media partners NBC 5 and Telemundo 39.
Kindergarten through 12th grade students will compete for a $1,000 grand prize and the opportunity to have their artwork fea-tured on DART buses. Other prizes will be awarded to first place winners and runner-ups in different grade-level

categories. The theme for this year’s
contest is “Explore Your World with DART.” Students are asked to share some of the unique places they’ve discov-ered riding DART — or the destinations yet to be ex-plored. Contest submissions are due by Feb. 27, and all win-ners’ artwork will be exhibited beginning Thursday, April 16 at the DMA.

Nathan Hecht as cannon fire signaled Abbott’s ascent to power.
From his new position, Abbott, a Republican, pledged to build more roads, secure the border, and to “speed up our needed water projects.”
He also said that he will
“ensure that we keep Texas number one in the nation for job creation,” which he said will require improving the state’s education system.
As the state’s longest-serv-ing attorney general, Abbott developed a reputation for tak-ing on the federal government,
level. “Odysseo” was cre-ated in the imagination of Normand Latourelle, who was a co-founder of “Cirque du Soleil,” another of the world’s gifts to the perform-ing arts.
The production pre-miered in Montreal in 2011, and has entertained more than a million spectators in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. “Odysseo” con-cluded its Mexican tour in Mexico City a few weeks ago, before moving its White Big Top to Texas. The show will then travel to Toronto, Ontario, this spring and to Montreal, Quebec, this sum-mer. To date, more than one million spectators have seen “Odysseo.”
Charles, who also co-founded “Odysseo,” has an impressive theatrical back-ground. He has performed and choreographed extensive-ly from commercials to West End and Broadway and has
against which he filed more than 30 lawsuits. He indicated that he does not intend to alter his approach to dealing with Washington, D.C.
“We Texans aren’t spoiling for a fight, but we won’t shrink from one if the cause is right,” he said.
Not all observers were excited by the inauguration day festivities. Matt Angle, a Democratic consultant who was a top adviser to Wendy Davis, who unsuccessfully chal-lenged Abbott during the recent election, issued a statement, saying: “Greg Abbott enters office with a record of attack-ing and dividing Texans while looking out for himself and his donors. We’ll find out over the next several weeks whether Governor Abbott’s inclusive words today are matched with inclusive and constructive ac-tions. He hasn’t yet earned any benefit of doubt.”

Forget publishing. I’m going into pharmaceuticals. That’s where the real money is.
I had to laugh out loud when I went to pick up my mother’s prescriptions the other day. One of her medi-cines was 33 cents for a one-month’s supply and another one was $112 for the same number of pills. What’s up with that?
My mom’s got great in-surance thanks to my late stepfather who worked for the government. Plus she has Medicare, so between both insurances she’s pretty much covered. But the $112 price for those pills was after all the insurance had been used. I wondered what the cost would have been if she had

our pharmacist to ask.She told me my mom’s
$112 pills would have cost $295 if she did not have in-surance. I asked what was the most expensive medicine they had, and she told me they have “injectables” that go for $17,000 per dose! She added that one of the most expen-sive pills they carried was an antibiotic called Vancomycin. A one-month supply goes for $858.
Vancomycin. I figured it had to cure cancer or some-thing world-changing like that. So I let my fingers do the walking on my keyboard and looked it up. Now my eyes are blurry from reading all the medical jargon.
It turns out, Vancomycin is a big, bad antibiotic that works when all others fail. But I also found out that it is a naturally occurring antibiotic that grows in the jungle soil in Borneo.
All the pharmaceutical companies have to do is set

up a greenhouse and grow the stuff. So why the steep price? Profit, maybe?
Johnson & Johnson, ranked number one in a Top Ten list of pharmaceuti-cal companies by topteny.com, made more than $65.03 BILLION dollars last year. Pfizer wasn’t even a close second with its measly $58.98 billion. And they had a 42 percent profit margin, accord-ing to BBC News.
“Drug companies justify the high prices they charge by arguing that their research and development (R&D) costs are huge,” business reporter Richard Anderson wrote. “But drug companies spend far more on marketing drugs — in some cases twice as much — than on developing them.”
I’m all for making a profit. But, seriously, at some point how many more billions of dollars does a company need?
Don’t ask me. I’m in publishing.
our Congressional PrioritiesBy Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
The new session of Congress provides an excit-ing opportunity to renew the focus on resolving the numer-ous challenges we face in our Congressional district, and in our nation. During this ses-sion, I will pursue a number of legislative issues and policy concerns that are designed to advance educational op-portunities for our children, improve technology and in-novation, create jobs, increase access to high quality health-care and safeguard every in-dividual’s right to participate in the democratic process.
I hold sacred the public trust that comes with serv-ing my constituents, and value greatly the partner-ship we have established to build a better society. As your partner, it is both prudent and fair that I keep you in-formed about my activities in Washington.
In my role as rank-ing member on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, I will continue my efforts to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. I believe it is crucial to the future of our economy, and will allow our nation to remain a leading in-novator in this area. In order to do so, our students must be well-educated in these subjects. As a veteran mem-ber on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, I will propose and support legislation that addresses unsafe and severely dated infrastructure in our country. I will continue my efforts to improve our roads, airports, seaports, harbors and railroads.
Approximately 11 mil-lion Americans, many of
them veterans of our armed services, suffer from schizo-phrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. Unfortunately, our country lacks adequate treatment options for these men and women. I am fully committed to legislation that will provide the mentally ill with the type of treatment that they so desperately need and deserve.
In addition to improving the types of treatment and availability of healthcare, I will reintroduce the National Nurse Act. This critical piece of legislation will designate the Chief Nurse Officer, an existing position in the U.S. Public Health Service, as the National Nurse for Public Health. The person who as-sumes this role will work with healthcare officials to address health disparities and estab-lish goals for improving our nation’s public health.
I will continue to co-chair the Congressional Homelessness Caucus, which focuses its efforts on ending homelessness, and establish-ing guidelines that protect individuals and families that find themselves without prop-er shelter.

Dallas Historical society offers 'collective memories'
By Juliette Coulter

It’s the organization’s largest and most important fundraising event to support its educational and preserva-tion programs. “This event recognizes those who have gone above and beyond to give of themselves selflessly to serve,” Lynn McBee, DHS co-chair, said.

Rev. Dr. Robert S. Dannals gave the invocation, then DHS Co-Chair Allan McBee thanked Event Co-Chairs Margaret and Glenn Solomon. McBee also recog-nized the DHS trustees by asking them to stand.
Thomas took to the stage to tell about DHS.
“The purpose of the Dallas Historical Society is to collect, preserve, publish and exhibit historical mate-rial and promote historical inquiry. It’s a collective mem-ory of our community that marks, stores and recalls the important events and people of Dallas.”

taking the fun out of sportsBy David Mullen
Whatever happened to the good old days of sports, when athletes were able to have a little fun on the field, the court or the course?
At next week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open, the PGA Tour is going to crack down on what has been one of golf ’s great rituals: high jinks and shenanigans on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale golf course.
The stoic game of golf, played under the rules de-veloped by the Royal and Ancient — golf ’s governing body — in Scotland, had pre-viously loosened up its plus fours for one hole, the famous par 3 at TPC. From an el-evated tee, caddies would race to the green with fans yelling and screaming (and betting). Players would throw things into the stands like hats, tow-els and Frisbees.
Despite what is not only known as the most fun hole in golf (but also the drunkest), the PGA Tour issued a state-ment concerning fan safety and their liability. “If a player is going by handing them out or flipping them to someone in the first row, that's fine,” PGA Tour chief of operations Andy Pazder told the AP. “But not by throwing things like a Frisbee.”
“A fan in public seating in a mad scramble to get a hat is going to hurt himself or land on top of another per-son,” Pazder said. I would say to the players, ‘Think about the liability.’” What about the liability of hitting a rock-solid orb at light speed into a crowd of unprotected fans?
In last Sunday’s NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and
Photo courtesy of Golf Week
Seattle Seahawks, Seattle star running back Marshawn Lynch was told he would be thrown out of the game if he wore gold cleats. I wanted to see Lynch in his gold cleats, “to see how they roll.” (With apologies to Steely Dan).
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson wore “Ocho Cinco” on the back of his jersey and was fined $5,000. He had to go to court to legally change his name to Ocho Cinco. Johnson once wore gold cleats in a game and was fined $20,000. New England Patriot Brandon Spikes was fined for wear-ing red — believe it or not — “spikes.”
Remember Billy “White Shoes” Johnson’s famous “Funky Chicken” touchdown dance?
How about the Atlanta Falcons “Dirty Bird?” Or the Washington Redskins “Fun Bunch” touchdown celebra-tion? All are banned today in the “No Fun League.” But it is still okay for Packer players to jump into the stands, doing the “Lambeau Leap.”
Bengal “Ickey” Woods was told by the NFL to go to the sidelines to do his “Ickey
Shuffle” touchdown dance, recently revisited in a com-mercial for Geico Insurance. Lynch has also been penalized for stopping on the goal line and flopping into the end zone for a touchdown. Come on, NFL. Does this really hurt the integrity of the game? Who really knows what is going on “inside the trenches,” within the scrum between offensive and defensive lines.
And any on-field celebra-tion in major college football is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The NBA has long been against taunting which is a good thing. But they have taken the fashion police to a new level. As a Miami Heat forward, LeBron James, broke bones in his face. He wore a mask. But instead of the league-approved clear mask, he wore a black mask. Batman would have been proud. The league fined James.
Michael Jordan wore black and white Nike basket-ball shoes red his Chicago Bulls teammates wore white shoes. Jordan was fined more than $400,000 for continuing

Students from 10 area high schools will be reporting on comings and goings at their schools, including honors, events, innovations, activities and person-alities, along with other interesting school news.
A new entry to the lower Greenville scene rang in the New Year with its Jan. 3 opening. Remedy is a third venture of HG Sply’s partner Elias Pope, who said the new restaurant and bar is based on a favorite book of his, “The Dispenser’s Formulary: Or, Soda Water Guide.” Former formerly chef de cuisine at the Grape, Danyele McPherson is executive chef.
Remedy, at 2010 Greenville Ave., is reported to have filled its reserve space since opening and is booked for the next three weeks. According to enthusiastic house man-ager Chris Lawler, the name, “Remedy” stems from the roots of soda water as a remedy for what “ailed ya.” When you’re there, ask Chris to tell you about the origins of soda water and soda fountains. It’s a fascinating story.
He explains that historically lots of innovation went into carbonation. “Our carbon-ation system is more advanced than most. We’re getting ready to install a draft system where we can carbonate other drinks, like wine,” the manager said. Chris described the menu as, “american inspired by Midwestern” and told us about the jalepeno and chive hush puppies and “Confit” fried chicken. Then he described one of the restaurant’s dec-adent desserts. The Felicia sundae is made with cream cheese ice cream and vanilla ice cream, topped with rum raisin caramel sauce and walnut brittle.

PAGE 5JANUARY 23 - 29, 2015 WHITEROCKLAKEWEEKLY.COM
The coming week will see many individuals scrambling – quite unexpectedly, perhaps – to see that loose ends are tied up nice and neat before some-thing new starts and their ener-gies and focus must be applied elsewhere. Much will be going on that requires a good deal of attention and, in many cases, a good deal of learning as well. Those who are fearful of jump-ing into something that requires them to multitask in order to get up to speed quickly will encounter difficulty this week. Those who know how to take what comes, apply what they have, adapt to changing cir-cumstances and learn by doing should have less trouble mak-ing progress – but that is a tall order, indeed!
There is no place for ani-mosity, resentment or rivalry. Indeed, those who usually find themselves on opposite sides of the fence will very likely have every reason to set aside their differences and work together toward a common goal. All can benefit from greater under-standing and tolerance!
AQuARius (Jan. 20-Feb. 3)
You may be notified that some-thing is amiss – officially, at least. You'll soon be putting the pieces back together. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may need someone's help in determin-ing what has fallen through the cracks – and when. Don't delay!
PisCes (Feb. 19-march 5)
Now is no time to put off something you know you can get done in a routine fashion. Procrastination will incur unex-pected costs. (march 6-march 20) – You must pay close atten-tion to all due dates. You may not be forgiven for a debt that remains unpaid.
ARies (march 21-April 4)
You may not agree with the di-rection things seem to be head-ing, but you would be unwise to try to change things. (April 5-April 19) – You may be asked to set aside your differences in favor of a group effort that can benefit all.
tAuRus (April 20-may 5)
You are dependent upon an-other for information that will prove essential. Keep all lines of communication open – and flowing. (may 6-may 20) – You may not be feeling quite your-self as the week opens, but you'll hit your stride later on and accomplish much of value.
Gemini (may 21-June 6)
You may be ready to call it quits earlier than usual on most days this week, but don't let your fatigue keep you from fulfill-ing promises. (June 7-June 20) – What you observe may not seem real to you at first, but throughout the week you'll
understand what you've actu-ally seen.
CAnCeR (June 21-July 7)
As the week opens, you may be feeling a little strange as a result of something that was said or done unintentionally. Recovery should be swift. (July 8-July 22) – You may not be able to take advantage of a bargain that was promised, but you can turn the tables before the week is out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 7)
You may be party to something that you cannot immediately fathom, but when all is said and done, you'll realize how im-portant your involvement was. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Others may be complaining that something is last-minute, but in fact it's something you set up a while ago.
ViRGo (Aug. 23-sept. 7)
You're sitting pretty as the week opens, and as the days progress, things should only get better – at least for now. Don't rest on your laurels. (sept. 8-sept. 22) – You have been seeking some-thing that has actually been close at hand all this time – and now you know it.
LiBRA (sept. 23-oct. 7)
You may have trouble keep-ing to your schedule as
environmental influences work against you for a time. You can be creative, however. (oct. 8-oct. 22) – You're ready to sock it to 'em, but take care that you don't come off as too ag-gressive.
sCoRPio (oct. 23-nov. 7)
Your schedule may be rather unusual, but that should allow you to deal with your most important issues right away. (nov. 8-nov. 21) – What seems a complication may actually prove a benefit to you and all who choose to join forces with you.
sAGittARius (nov. 22-Dec. 7)
Someone may have made plans of which you are initially un-aware, but you'll get with the program very quickly. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may fear that someone will object to your plan of action, when in fact, al-most everyone will support you wholeheartedly.
CAPRiCoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 6)
You may be able to indulge in a guilty pleasure at least once – but if more than once, take care you don't overdo it. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – A collaboration of sorts is about to take off and win you and your partner all kinds of ac-colades. It's no accident!

oDysseo cont'd frompage 1
worked with stars like Barry Manilow, Sarah Brightman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Spice Girls and Cameron Mackintosh.
Teaching and cho-reographing across the world, his expertise includes ballet, contem-porary dance, ethnic movement, acrobat-ics and fusion. Charles was the choreographer and dancer for musicals such as “Notre Dame de Paris” and “Grease.” He has been in his posi-tion since the creation of “Odysseo” in 2011.
We spoke with the director/choreographer while he was in town inspecting the site before the opening. “Horses and riders have mutual respect, which portrays the relationship between man and horses,” he told us in his lovely British brogue.
This largest touring pro-duction in the world appears under a big top the size of two NFL football fields. There are a total of 64 horses in the
stables. Forty horses are on-stage in each performance. “They are from different dis-ciplines,” Charles explained. “Among those are jumping; liberty; trick riding; dressage and Cossack.” Six Arabian
horses are commanded by voice and body signals. Horses, all male range in age from five to 11, with the aver-age being eight. The youngest horse is five years old.
Fifty artists are on stage, including riders, aerialists and acrobats. One of the show’s unique features is a troop of sand acrobats from West Africa. “We auditioned
this group on a beach in New Guinea. They do all of their tumbling on sand on the stage,” the choreographer said.
Horses climb a mountain on stage, which Charles said
is made of 10 tons of dirt and stands about 4 meters (16 -17 feet) high. A waterfall deliv-ers 35,000 liters of water on stage. A mechanical carousel was designed for the show in Canada and is said to be breathtaking when rotating, while acrobats perform on it.
Charles explained: “My job is to maintain the show at highest level backstage and
onstage. Every show is differ-ent. That’s part of the beauty of it.”
According to the art-ist: “Children love it. Lights. Acrobats. Action. The pure beauty of costumes and hors-
es on stage. The show is interactive with audience. The cast invites the audi-ence to be involved.”
He added that, unlike most live theater, there’s no proscenium arch sepa-rating the performers and audience.
“I hope Dallas will enjoy ‘Odysseo.’ With scene changes on three IMAX screens, you feel like you’re there. There’s such a big love of horses in Texas. Whether you’re a cowboy or dressage rider, you can enjoy it.“Odysseo” can be seen
Under the White Big Top at Dr Pepper Ballpark, 7300 Rough Riders Trail, Frisco 75034.
There will be 14 perfor-mances through Feb. 8, in-cluding five 2 p.m. weekend matinees.

There was much rejoic-ing in my neck of the woods when The Whistling Pig opened in May of last year. A neighborhood pub, actually adjacent to the neighborhood, with a menu created by Asher Stevens of Cock & Bull? How could we not be excited?
We visited during that first month, and it did not bode well. The service was slow to the point of being nonexistent, and the food, while serviceable, was not anything I wanted to seek out. A curry spinach dip tast-ed basically like someone had defrosted a package of frozen spinach and dumped some curry powder in. The burger I had was fine, but nothing I couldn’t get somewhere else. And really, after waiting 20 minutes for someone to ac-knowledge your presence (I’d have been mollified with just a “someone will be with you” from a passing server), you tend not to be very charitable when it comes to the rest of the experience.
So I stayed away and continued to lament the lack of a local watering hole that we could visit without having to leave our tiny corner of the world.

the whistling Pig gets 'most improved' award
Photo by Sara Newberry
Until now. If there were a “most improved” award, it would go to The Whistling Pig. The service has become more attentive (you’re greeted when you walk through the door), and the food is now craveable. The menu hasn’t changed, so I’m not sure if there was a shake-up in the kitchen, or if they have just finally gotten their groove.
A green chile cheeseburger
($10) was a near-perfect speci-men, with just right balance of heat and sweetness from the chiles and provolone. Perfectly crisp fries were a worthy side. A Cuban sandwich ($14) was also ideal, the crunchy pressed bread a tasty backdrop to the smoky pork and salty ham. “Texas toothpicks,” a mixture of fried jalapeno and onion strips, were crisp and not at all greasy. (One of my issues with Cock & Bull is
A daily special (NY Strip with Hoppin' John) at The Whistling Pig.
the lack of a fryer, so I’m excited that The Whistling Pig is put-ting theirs to such good use.)
I could be perfectly happy having a burger on every visit, but feel I must be thorough, so I was determined to try some-thing from the “entrees” page of the menu on a second trip. My husband chose the pot roast melt (the man loves his pot roast). Sadly, the kitchen was out of fish and chips, my
first choice. So I decided to test them and get that night’s spe-cial: a NY strip with Hoppin’ John ($23). (Our server shared with us that she had no idea what Hoppin’ John was — I recommend asking the cooks before telling a table you don’t know what something is.)
We also chose the aru-gula salad ($12) to share, and thank goodness we did: it was huge. Smoked blue cheese and walnuts played off the aru-gula’s peppery flavor, while mustard seeds gave the salad a little extra kick. I was dis-appointed in the pear vinai-grette; it had no real flavor. I would have appreciated a few pieces of pear in the salad to bring that out.
The moment of truth arrived with my steak: it was perfectly medium-rare, sliced and fanned on the plate for easy eating. It’s worthy of being a permanent fixture on the menu. Hoppin’ John was fantastic, reminiscent of a really good jambalaya. (The plating was a little weird: after I removed the random greenery on top of the steak, I found a chunk of com-pound butter, which is kind of overkill on a fatty cut like a strip. Also strange were swirls of what seemed to be reduced balsamic vinegar on
the corners of the plate that added nothing to the overall dish.)
The pot roast melt ($12) was also a hit. The pot roast was incredibly tender, and the pieces of potato were so soft that they just added sweet-ness. Smoked cheddar and herbed focaccia were both excellent additions to a suc-cessful sandwich.
Service, as I mentioned before, is friendly and welcom-ing. The atmosphere is kind of generic “pub,” and the music can be a little weird (on one visit we were treated to alternat-ing thrash metal and silence). My one problem with The Whistling Pig? The menu is riddled with errors. I can forgive a typo here or there if the food is great, but this one has several misspelled words on each page. (I also have a bit of an issue with the font choices, but I can let that go.) Grammatical concerns aside, if you’re in the neighbor-hood — or, heck, even if you’re not — The Whistling Pig is worth a visit.The Whistling Pig8786 Ferguson Glen Road, #133Dallas, 75228214-324-3186Monday - Friday 3 p.m. to 2 a.m.Saturday/Sunday noon to 2 a.m.

Dallas composer and violist Mark Landson serves string quartets piping hot with a side of chicken fried steak — and maybe a beer. Or so one could have it last Wednesday at the All Good Café dur-ing the first of four, powerful performances of “Journey of Light,” Open Classical’s latest Artist Series.
As founder and director of Open Classical, Landson perpetually seeks to spice up the classical music scene in unexpected places. Too often, according to Landson, “fine art and music are placed on a pedestal,” unnecessarily dis-connecting compositions from performers from audience. By relaxing the pretension and taking concerts outside of fan-cier venues, he hopes to make classical music more appealing — not to mention cheaper — for a more diverse crowd.
The Artist Series, “Journey of Light” does just that. The re-maining three concerts feature works for piano and strings by well-known masters Gustav Mahler and William Walton, as well as young, contemporary composers Margaret Barrett, Adam Eason and Landson himself. Each performance takes on a slightly different fla-vor as per the venue: the fam-ily-friendly Frisco Discovery Center on Jan. 25, the wine-friendly Times Ten Cellars of Lakewood on Feb. 6, and the intimate listening room club at the Live Oak in Fort Worth on Feb. 7.
Another benefit of per-forming chamber music in less formal, non-traditional set-tings is the amount of freedom it gives performers. Cellist Joseph Kuipers and emerging

violinist Chloe Trevor, along with Open Classical pia-nist Thiago Nascimento and Landson on viola, encourage and challenge each other to interpret the works in a hyper-emotional way.
“The music is not on the page — the page is just a guide, and classical music’s most important aspect is that it guides you on a journey of emotions,” Landson said. All five pieces of the roughly 75-minute program were cho-sen to highlight that journey and develop themes of con-trasting lightness and dark-ness. Hence, the program’s title “Journey of Light.”
Open Classical is a project
nearly four years in the mak-ing that combines quality, classical music with laid-back ambiance — “dressed down, not dumbed down” as their website proudly proclaims. The project is built around a classical open mic night, which the group hosts every Tuesday at Buzzbrews Kitchen on Lemmon Avenue, and where professionals and ama-teurs alike can share the stage.

Bishop Lynch awarded for proper planningBy Kristin Mannari
Bishop Lynch High School is the recipient of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Safe Sports School award for its Friar Athletics program. The award champions safety and recog-nizes secondary schools that provide safe environments for student athletes. The award reinforces the importance of providing the best level of care, injury prevention and treatment. “Bishop Lynch

Our goal is to lead our athletics program to the highest safety standards for our players,” Andy Zihlman, athletic director and women’s
basketball head coach, said.Physical activity is very
important for our youth, ac-cording to NATA president Jim Thornton, MS, ATC, CES. “There has been an increase in competitive sports, which are, unfortunately, not with-out risk. Brain injury/concus-sion, cardiac arrest and other injuries and illnesses are potentially life-threatening.” Proper planning with proper equipment and personnel is vital to the safety of student athletes today, he notes.

It is a striking use of reclaimed wood and refur-bished equipment, designed to create a retro feel in an old Design District warehouse. The place has great food and drinks, lots of parking and is right off of I-35.
It will bowl you over, and that is no joke.
Architect Tom Weber (no relation to the famous bowling family) along with partner Craig Spivey have created a bowling alley and restaurant out of character at Irving Boulevard and Turtle Creek Boulevard, but so in character with the owners.
After years of search-ing for financing, finding a location and acquiring used bowling equipment, Bowlounge is on a roll.
“I had been working on the concept for three or four years until we found this location,” Weber, who has a degree in Architecture from the University of Arkansas, said.
“Once we got the financ-ing, we started looking for the lanes. We knew we want-ed to do reclaimed lanes. New lanes are exceptionally expensive and rarely get paid off, to the tune of $60,000 to $80,000 per lane.”
They located a broker in Ft. Smith, Ark. through the Internet and found that Longview (Texas) Lanes had been sold and shuttered. “When Longview Lanes was bought,” Weber said, “they were closed down by the competition named the Oil Bowl.”
“We took everything out of the place, basically,” Weber said. “We picked out their best 12 lanes, picked out the best equipment and saved the best wood. We

made all of our tables from the lanes. The bar is a lane split in two.”
The 14,000 square foot Bowlounge, at 167 Turtle Creek Blvd., has 12 lanes with automated scoring, old school ball returns and tables. The pin setters were made in Japan by Brunswick in 1966.
“When we found this building and took some measurements, we knew we found the place. We made the building owner a part-ner,” Weber said. Pillars from floor to ceiling separate the lanes.
“When we came in here we knew it was going to be a hot area,” Weber said. “We did most of the work here ourselves.” Spivey handles the day-to-day operations. “We were working so hard, failure was not an option,” Weber said. “We have been a very healthy business since day one.
“The (AMF) scoring machines, light fixtures and the 300 Club all came from
Longview Lanes,” Weber said. Behind the bar and in front of the men’s bathroom window, the 300 Club exists. The 300 Club are individual bowling pins autographed by bowlers that rolled per-fect (300 point) games at the Longview Lanes. In a bit of quirkiness, the one-way men’s bathroom window looks out at those seated at the bar.
Even the outdoor sign from old Longview Lanes was saved. “It said bowl, pool and games,” Weber said. “We took the letters to build Bowlounge. We just needed to make two letters.” The Bowlounge opened in June 2013.
“There are two genera-tions that missed bowling,” Weber said.
“It was either crusty old bowling alleys or newer family entertainment cen-ters. This is an adult themed bowling alley. This is the real deal. It is a different sound and a different feel.” There is a velvet painting tribute to
the “Big Lebowski” on the back wall.
The busy restaurant, serving lunch and din-ner, has an affiliation with Twisted Root Burger Company and features most of their items. They also serve a variety of shakes for $5 and have a starters list that includes Pimento cheese and Ritz crackers for $4. They have more than 40 tap handles featuring many local beers and beer towers are served to bowlers.
Play is priced per game, not by the hour like many bowling alleys do. Music and videos from the ’80s and ’90s are played throughout the building. The Bowlounge has pool tables and Golden Tee for patrons to play while waiting for a lane.
And there is an old ar-cade bowling game that is currently under repair. “Looking for the parts,” Weber said.
If anyone can find them, it is the team behind the Bowlounge.
“We must infuse our thoughts with love,” urged Etana King, winner of last Friday’s 2015 Gardere MLK Jr. Oratory Competition. King, a fifth-grade student at John Neely Bryan Elementary, was crowned the top orator after delivering an in-spirational speech sharing her thoughts on what Martin Luther King Jr. would say in his acceptance speech if he were alive today and won the Nobel Peace Prize.
“We must not use our arms to take up weapons that harm and destroy; instead we must use them to embrace our differ-ences,” King said. — Dallas Independent School District

In “The Insider,” Michael Mann directed a movie about a corporate whistle blower and turned it into a nerve-racking, intense thriller. If he was able to pull that off, the red hot, timely cyber-crime premise of “Blackhat” should be right in Mann’s wheelhouse.
Sadly, this is not just a massive strikeout, it’s like Mann took three pitches and was caught looking. It’s a slow moving, preposter-ous, overlong disaster. Even Mann’s technical prowess is lacking in all 133 minutes of characters hunched over computers, babbling on and on about code, exotic locales, and half-hearted political strife.
The chain of ridicu-lous events are set off when a Chinese nuclear reactor’s computer system is attacked and sets China on the verge of a nuclear meltdown.
Super smart MIT grad and army captain Chen (Leehom Wang) head up the Chinese government’s inves-tigation and despite this being an extremely tight, covert operation, he is inexplicably allowed to have his civilian sister, Lien (Wei Tang), in-vestigate the hacker (a.k.a. Blackhat) that is responsible for the attack.
Chen recognizes the code that was used to hack the reactor’s system and the next thing you know, he and his sister are on a plane to the U.S. to meet with the FBI to coordinate their pursuit of this criminal. He begins working with Agent Carol Barrett (Viola Davis), but his real motive for working with the FBI lies elsewhere.
See, Chen was room-mates at MIT with Nick Hathaway (Chris Hemsworth) and Chen knows that Nick is the best person on Earth to enlist to crack the case.
The big problem here is that Nick is in prison for a cy-bercrime of his own, serving 14 years for robbing several banks.
No problem. Agent Barrett strikes up a quick

deal with the Department of Justice and the next thing you know, Nick is in de-signer clothes, cool shades and hopping on a plane to China. It’s okay because this beefed up, super genius has an ankle monitor and trusty U.S. Marshall Jessup (Holt McCallany) guarding his every move.
From there, “Blackhat” consists of scenes that either feature Nick and the gang huddled over a computer or physical confrontations in-volving guns, knives, even a broken beer bottle.
While belief suspension works regarding Nick’s chis-eled form stone look (what else is there to do in prison but work out?), the fact that he seems to be a firearms ex-pert or able to kill a guy with a table chair at a restaurant is ridiculous.
Even Mann’s patented action sequences failed. The entire movie, shot digitally, looks like a muddy mess. The camera jerks around and, at times, is so blurry that it may as well have been shot with an iPhone.
It’s almost difficult to believe that you’re watching something directed by the same human being as the jaw-dropping bank robbery scene in “Heat.”
While the majority of the story is decent enough to keep you interested, the “Blackhat” nail in the coffin is the bud-ding relationship between Nick and Lien. It’s completely forced and hackneyed, only tossed in there as an excuse to see two attractive human be-ings touch each other.
It doesn’t help that this is the most poorly acted movie that Michael Mann has ever made. Only Viola Davis escapes unscathed, as she provides some sass and charm that goes a long way. “Blackhat” may have been better off if she, a profession-ally trained FBI agent, were the real hero of the tale.
Instead, “Blackhat” chooses to stick with the cliched antihero, and Hemsworth mumbles his way through one of the big-gest casting misfires in recent movie history. Never mind the fact that this six-foot plus, blonde headed stud is playing secret super spy while walk-ing around southeast Asia, where he would stick out like the sorest of sore thumbs. It would take approximately 10 seconds for any bad guy to spot him on the street and it’s impossible for an audience to ignore.
Hemsworth can act and lead a movie, even without
swinging around a magi-cal hammer. He proved that with the tragically unseen “Rush,” but this is a serious mistake in the casting de-partment. Hemsworth’s lack of charism or screen pres-ence seems to say, “What am I doing portraying a computer hacker?” as if he’s well aware that it does not compute.
Even if the wretched romance plot line was re-moved, “Blackhat” is aver-age at best, but average and Michael Mann should not be colliding in a sentence. For a master class director, this is a shocking disappointment and letdown.
Here’s hoping that Mann gets back in the director’s chair sooner rather than later in an effort to make up for this disaster.

Leyendecker said: “I’m excited about the challenge and passionate about the mission to transform the lives of young women as they receive an in-credible education. I’ve seen the positive effects of a single-sex education with my daughter and am thrilled to be part of an organization that is transform-ing education.”
Lynn McBee, Young Women’s Prep CEO, added: “I’ve known Patty for many years, and in every role, she brings her dedication and focus to meet the end goal. We know she will do the same at Young Women’s Prep as we expand our network to help educate even more young women and to prepare them to become tomorrow’s leaders.”
About Young Women’s Preparatory Network:
Young Women’s Prep (YWPN) provides funding and other resources to seven all-girls’ public schools in Texas, in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth,
Grand Prairie, Houston, Lubbock, and San Antonio, working in close collaboration in each community with the public school district. Total enrollment as of last school year was 4,100 students in 6th through 12th grades.
Each YWPN school fea-tures a STEM-focused cur-riculum and is largely attended by disadvantaged students who are second-generation immigrants.
The programs also focus on leadership development, college readiness and well-ness life skills. Additionally, each school serves as a labora-tory example of an innova-tive public-private education model that results in high student achievement. In 2014, all of the network schools that have been open long enough to have a senior class—146 young women—graduated 100 percent of their students, who earned a collective $15.8 million in scholarships. Each student was accepted into a four-year college or univer-sity. More information can be found at http://youngwom-ensprep.org/.

NBA VP Rod Thorn said: “What we’re saying is, ‘You’re professionals now. You’re not on the playground anymore.’” And TNT Sports analyst

Doctors goes Red
for womenBy Theresa Lewis
Even as coronary heart disease remains the num-ber-one killer of American women, only one in five women perceive it as a health concern. To help raise aware-ness of heart disease among women and to encourage more women to take this threat to their health seri-ously, Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake is offer-ing a free Women and Heart Disease screening. To learn more about the screening visit DoctorsHospitalDallas.com/WomenHeartScreening.
Additionally, the hos-pital is offering a free Red Dress lapel pin in honor of Go Red for Women, a move-ment by the American Heart Association. Women who receive the complimentary pin will be encouraged to wear it on National Wear Red Day on Friday, Feb. 6 — a day when millions of Americans will don scarlet clothing and accessories to show their sup-port of women and the fight against heart disease. Call 800-887-2525 for your free Red Dress lapel pin.

tribes make Lakewood a true family
By Haley YorkClass of 2015
For three years, the Tribes at Lakehill have been an excellent way to bring fac-ulty and students of all grades together as a family.
Each Tribe consists of students in Lower, Middle, and Upper School as well as two faculty members. Tribe meetings are a fun, stress-free time in which students throughout the school get to know each other, and faculty can bond with the children.
Tribe meetings occur once every six weeks and the
faculty creates an array of fun activities for everyone to enjoy. During the last tribe meeting, students used their artistic abilities to create stocking stuffers for the holi-day luncheon such as orna-ments and handmade holiday cards. Previous activities include decorating teacher’s doorways for Homecoming, participating in a school-wide scavenger hunt, and playing games to help stu-dents get to know each other. On Thursday, Tribes met for a morning of games. “I loved playing all the games,” Kindergarten student Josie
Terstriep said. “I have a lot of fun in Tribes.”
“It’s a fun experience,” senior Jonathan Motes said. “I have gotten to know so many people I wouldn't have known before.”
Tribes have become a tradition at Lakehill, and it is exciting to see students of all ages having fun together. It is proof of the family-oriented environment Lakehill has to offer.
“I love our Tribe,” fresh-man Jakayla Silas said. “Tribes make us one as a fam-ily, which is what Lakehill is all about.”
