Cuba Gooding, Jr. faced many trials since Oscar win

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net In jail and on trial midway through FX’s 10-episode O.J. Simpson drama, Cuba Gooding, Jr. is in considerably comfier surroundings during a recent promotional stop in Dallas.

Our venue is the spacious seventh floor hospitality suite of the Ritz Carlton hotel, where an imposing array of diet-busting snacks, sweets and libations are very readily available.

Hoarse, but not ill — “My voice has been this way since I wrapped the show (in October)” — Gooding opts to sip on a soft drink during a half-hour interview. Playing the title role in “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” has been the best thing to happen to Gooding since his Supporting Actor Oscar win 20 years ago as pro football receiver Rod

“Show me the money” Tidwell in “Jerry Maguire.” He’s made a lot of bad career choices since then. Or as Gooding puts it, “I did 10 years of ‘direct to videos’” before he relearned what “Jerry Maguire” director Cameron Crowe told him: “Don’t worry about the roles. Worry about who the directors are.”

The executive producer and principal director of “People v. O.J. Simpson” is Ryan Murphy, whose television successes include “Nip/ Tuck,” “Glee” and “American Horror Story.” The inside story of Simpson’s highly divisive trial, adapted from Jeffrey Toobin’s 1996 book, is Murphy’s first non-fiction TV series. It’s received uniformly rave reviews, curbed Murphy’s tendency toward excess and rekindled Gooding’s career, while also still haunting him at times.

He intends to let considerable time pass before

Cuba Gooding, Jr. stars on FX as O.J. Simpson. he watches the entire series.

“But when I see certain clips and images, it kind of throws me a little bit,” Gooding said.

“Especially when I see O.J. getting worked up in a scene, it starts to get me worked up again … I used to hear other actors talk about this.

Heath Ledger, after playing The Joker, said that it took

Gary Piattoni grew up in a small town outside of Chicago looking for buried treasure. Little did he know it would lead to a career in appraising and a role on one of televisions most well-known shows.

“My first exposure to stuff was finding Indian arrowheads in my backyard,” Piattoni said. “That really hooked me in. My mother was really pretty passionate about antiques, too, and she helped fuel that and we would go to shops and local places in Photo by Gitting Photography and around where I lived. So I have Gary Piattoni has appeared on "Antique kind of had the bug since I was a Roadshow" for 20 years. little kid.”

Piattoni, 54, is one of the “guest appraisers” on the popular PBS show “Antique Roadshow.” He was in town recently to

appraise items at Edgemere, an upscale senior living community near Preston Hollow.

“Going to college, I went more for a science background because I figured I would be better off to get a job, but art kept calling me back,” Piattoni said. “So I got a masters after college in fine art and then started working in the auction business after that.” Piattoni earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago, a masters from the Art Institute of Chicago and a certificate in appraisal studies from New York University.

‘Would you like a cup for your coffee?’

Breast cancer in males rare but real

By Dr. Kimberly Washington washington.k@att.net

Male breast cancer is a real entity. Although it is not discussed as much as female breast cancer, it is just as important.

Often times, male breast cancer is diagnosed later because men don't think Dr. Washington that nodules on their chest wall LIFETIME could represent RISK OF MALE breast tumors.

BREAST Therefore, the masses increase CANCER AT in size subONE IN 1,000 stantially prior to this being brought to medical attention.

Male breast cancer is, thankfully, rare, being found to be only 1 percent of all breast cancers reported. This places the lifetime risk of male breast cancer at one in 1,000 — a far cry from the one in eight women risk. To put this in real numbers, a little more than 2,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the U.S. It may seem strange that men can get breast cancer since they don't technically have breasts, however, everyone has breast tissue on their chest wall. Female hormonal changes cause proliferation (or growth) of breast tissue as young girls, whereas young boys hormonal changes result in facial hair growth and increased muscle mass. Since there are breast tissue cells on the chest wall of all men, there remains the risk that these cells can mutate into cancer cells.

Although this disease is rare,

MARCH 4 - 10, 2016

there are some men who are at higher risk of the disease than others. These men have certain disease processes such as Kleinfelter's Syndrome (a genetic chromosomal disorder where instead of having XX and being phenotypically female or XY and being phenotypically male, he is XXY resulting in many feminizing characteristics, although he may also have testicles), a strong family history of breast cancer, including the presence of a classic breast cancer predisposing mutation called BRCA and history of radiation therapy to the chest for another disease process. The average age of diagnosis is 68 years of age, meaning that increased age is also a risk factor.

Breast cancer in men is diagnosed the same as that in women with mammogram, ultrasounds, and ultimately, biopsy of the mass. The biopsy will identify the actual cancer cells to make the diagnosis. Once this is done, treatment is initiated, which comes in the form of surgery with removal of all breast tissue, sampling of the lymph nodes and targeted therapy or chemotherapy. Although we aren't sure why, men with breast cancer often have a poorer outcome than women in their same age group or with their same tumor marker status, therefore, this cancer is treated very aggressively once diagnosed.

Although, no task force has suggested that men perform routine breast examination for early detection, it is advisable that if any mass is felt, seek medical attention early. Like every other cancer, early detection always places you in a better position for improved survival.

HIP TO BE SQUARE

Know about outpatient replacement

By Dr. Don Hohman dhohman@gdortho.com

Is a short-stay hip or knee replacement right for you? Outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is now being performed in select centers on select patients who are healthy enough to be candidates for this pathway. These surgeries can be done at an ambulatory surgery center or an inpatient hospital. Orthopedic Dr. Don Hohman surgeons agree that outpatient TJA should only be done on patients who are healthy enough to have surgery in such a setting and have the appropriate home setting/support to allow them to be discharged in this manner.

Advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of outpatient TJA include a reduced hospital stay, a possible reduced chance for hospital-acquired infections and the possibility of increased patient satisfaction. There is also potential for reduced cost to the health care system. The disadvantages of the outpatient TJA are few, and these are minimized by the selection process, but include the chance of having a complication at home and the chance for readmission to the hospital. Interest in the role for outpatient TJA will most certainly increase throughout time. We have had tremendous success with our outpatient/rapid recovery program for partial/total knee and total hip replacements. Patient testimonials are available as educational material through Dr. Hohman's Facebook and YouTube page as you research your hip and knee care.

Donald Hohman, MD, is a fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in joint replacements of the hip and knee. He completed his specialty training at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital of the Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass. If you have any further questions please feel free to utilize the educational material provided on the website GDOrtho.com, or his office can be reached at 214-252-7039.

MULL IT OVER

Elite runner found winning by losing

David Clark has lost 160 pounds by running with purpose.

By David Mullen

david@katytrailweekly.com David Clark has created a disappearing act that has brought him national attention. Once weighing more than 320 pounds, he is now 160 pounds and gone are the demons of drugs and alcohol that got him to the tipping point. It was extreme sports and running that became his therapeutic crutch.

In his bestselling book Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery, Clark tells his story of a guy that took on monumental challenges — some bad and some good — but never lost the fire that could turn his life around when it seemed headed for self-destruction. When he goes for it, he goes big.

A native New Yorker who traveled from hotel to hotel and sometimes lived in a truck with his salesman father, Clark grew up shopping in the embarrassing “husky section” as a grade-schooler. “Not really overweight, but not skinny,” Clark said. “I was kind of in that ‘in-between.’”He would go on crash diets.” I have lost 50 pounds 10 times,” Clark said. “Each time I lost it, not only would I gain it back but I would get bigger.”

Home schooled, Clark moved to Colorado in his late teens, and while thinking he would go into medicine, he took a part-time job at a mattress retailer while in college. “In my senior year,” Clark said, “a friend of mine got cancer and died. It was an amazingly brutal and long process that changed me irrevocably. It caused me to step away from college, and take a summer job full time managing the [mattress] store.” True to his “all-or-nothing” personality, he set a national sales record and bought a chain of retail mattress stores at age 29.

“My life has been rather insane and so extreme and I think that’s the blessing of my story and gives me a tremendous platform that I can share because not everyone needs to lose 160 pounds and not everyone wants to run 135 miles across Death Valley, but we have all dealt with crap,” Clark said. “And the process of changing who you are and who you think you are and becoming a better version of yourself is something I think is something everyone can relate to.”

After doing $8 million in annual sales, he ended up losing his business. “I thought I had the world by the balls. But

PAGE 5

I really didn’t know anything.

I was getting deeper and deeper in losses, and that’s how I ended up so overweight, so addicted and so lost. I finally had money, but it just didn’t make me happy at all.”

“I would gain weight and lose weight, gain weight and lose weight and then I finally stopped losing weight,” Clark said. He spent 10 years being between 290 and 320 pounds on a 5 foot-11 frame.

“I had so many medical problems. I had high blood pressure. When I finally saw my doctor, they told me that I was going to have a stroke.

Not ‘you can have a stroke, but you will have can have a stroke within an hour.’ I was pre-diabetic. I had heart problems. When I laughed really hard or would stand up quickly, I would almost pass out.”

After hearing the medical report in 2002, he met a friend of his at a bar and laughed and drank.

Two herniated disks in his back led to a pain-killer addiction. “Vicodin, Percocet, codeine,” Clark said. “I would drink a bottle of whiskey a day [Jameson or single malt scotch] and throw down five or six Vicodins on top of that at night.

“It’s death by one thousand cuts. The Hollywood narrative is you wreck your car, or something really bad happens and you wake up in the hospital and you draw the line in the sand. The funny thing is all of those things happened to me. I did wake up in jail and go through one humiliation after another.

But those never did it for me.

When my addictions really got at its darkest is after the business went away. I had to provide for my family. ”When people write a book about recovery, it is easy to glamorize addiction,” Clark said. “‘Look at me. I’m a rock star.’ But in the book, I went to the embarrassing things like about being too drunk to wrap presents on Christmas Eve.” Clark was suicidal, eating

“ridiculous amounts of narcotics before I went to bed.”

One embarrassment after another led to him to waking up one morning and finding that “there was a glimmer of hope that might have been the final light. I was ready to give up,” Clark said. “I had this picture of two scenarios. One was my kids [twins] trying to figure out why their dad drank himself to death, and the other was show them what a comeback looks like. I could show them that there is no such thing as too far gone.”

Although just getting healthy and sober could have been satisfaction enough (he went cold turkey from alcohol and has been sober for more than 10 years), Clark decided to get in shape by run/walking. “We see the best in ourselves when we rise to an impossible task,” Clark said. “I needed the emotional stakes to be higher.

Running just appealed to me and it seemed impossible.”

Considering a marathon would be a pipedream.

“I would go 15 minutes and I would run then walk and it was excruciating to me. No good parts about it. But I knew it was something I wanted to do. About 60 days into it, I told people I was going to run a marathon.” Clark still weighed 300 pounds.

He ran his first race — the Colorado University Turkey Trot 5K — in 40 minutes. Avid runners finish in half that time. One year later, Clark ran the same race in just over 20 minutes.

Clark kept running and kept losing races and weight.

He ran his first marathon in Denver in about 4 hours and 45 minutes and was “super proud.” He was now addicted to running. “I think that there was a time that was true,” Clark said. “It was tied into my sobriety. I was running instead of drinking. But eventually you have to separate that.” Surgery on those herniated disks and advisement by his doctors to stop running has provided added inspiration. He keeps running and getting better.

Today, Clark is a subthree-minute marathoner.

He runs with purpose which included running four Boston Marathons in one 24-hour period. Called the “Quad Boston,” he ran 104.8 miles in 24 hours, 17 minutes. “I ran one for the families that were affected by addiction,” Clark said, “One for those still out there struggling, one for those like myself lucky enough to make it out alive, and the final marathon I ran with Deb Kelly in honor of her daughter who died of a heroin overdose.”

Clark lives in Boulder and is a running coach, sponsored runner, inspirational speaker, gym owner and author of Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery (available at Amazon). By running some of the most difficult endurance races on the planet including his Death Valley conquest and by running 48 consecutive hours on a treadmill for charity, Clark is considered an elite athlete and is well respected in the national running community. But his most difficult endurance race may have been his life itself.

Four ways sleep affects weight

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?

Last spring, a recording of the Highland Park High School Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band was submitted to the National Youth Concert Series, which hosts an annual festival of outstanding high school bands and orchestras at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Many groups from around the country applied and were adjudicated by a distinguished panel of music educators and conductors, and both of the Highland Park bands received this prestigious invitation.

On March 14, the bands will be performing master works of the wind ensemble and orchestral literature, including works

by Edward Elgar, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and many others.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

By Stella Wilder

The coming week will transpire according to plan for two or three days — at least for most individuals, assuming a plan is in place — but things are soon likely to diverge, with a choice being offered that requires everyone to look deeply within to determine which is the better way to go. Yes, this means that toward midweek things are likely to get complicated, and the more people involved in a given project, the more tangled those complications will be! Communication is the primary issue; anyone going it alone has only him- or herself to commune with before deciding upon a course of action, whereas a team effort will necessitate a clear web of open communication at all times.

Some are likely to uncover previously unseen opportunities for travel, and the farther afield one has to go, the more exciting and involving that travel will be in every respect.

In some cases, merely getting there will prove the biggest challenge, especially for those left to their own auspices.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may be called upon to fill in for someone who is out of commission, but you won't know what's expected of you right away. (March 6-March 20) — You're going to have to stand

your ground when you receive a challenge that is far more aggressive than usual.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) Giving someone else a piece of your mind may not be the best way to start a week that already promises to be rather sticky. (April 5-April 19) — You'll be able to position yourself to some advantage, even while you assess the lay of the land.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may find that the more oldfashioned a strategy is, the better it fits your current situation. Why not give it a try? (May 6-May 20) — You may be getting a great deal of attention as a result of recent words or deeds. Is this how you want things to go?

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Something remarkably simple attracts your attention and holds you in thrall for quite some time.

You'll be inspired. (June 7-June 20) — Someone close to you may not fully understand your motives. Offer an explanation, but don't reveal too much!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may be trying too hard to accommodate others when you have your own urgent business to attend to. Prioritize!

to start a new project that has been on a back burner for quite some time. The pace can be very quick at the beginning.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may become impatient with someone who seems to be dogging you all week long.

You may want to insist on a little alone time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) — You've been putting yourself at a disadvantage lately without even knowing it. You can easily remedy the situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may have to adjust your schedule, as you will be in need of some assistance that cannot be there the moment the need arises. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) — You have more to accomplish than usual, but you can get it all done if you remember to take better care of yourself!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You're going to have to negotiate carefully in order to position yourself as favorably as possible. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) — You can recover from a setback very quickly as the week opens, then charge ahead, confident of making up lost ground quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) A collaborative effort may be hard to arrange, but trying to

Copyright 2016 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. do things on your own could expose you to unusual dangers. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) — Environmental influences are felt throughout the week. You must be as flexible as possible in order to make on-the-spot adjustments.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may feel yourself slowing down somewhat as the week opens. Assess the situation before deciding on a course of action. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) — Others are counting on you to be there when you are needed. You'll want to be keenly aware of your surroundings at all times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You must be willing to work more closely than usual with someone else. He or she holds the key to a resounding success. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) — There is certainly a place for some fun and games, but you must not overlook a new responsibility at work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may find yourself waiting around for just the right opportunity to get a certain task completed to your satisfaction.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) — You're likely to get the thumbs-up early in the week, clearing the way for a new effort that can pay off handsomely.

Fresh coat of paint goes a long way

By Stephan Sardone

Stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Not everyone has the time to drop everything and do a complete remodel to their home. Until you are able to stop life and plan out a remodeling project, try some small ways to spruce up the house. There is one main ingredient to breathing life back into your home on a budget: paint.

Underestimated, undervalued and sometimes neglected, paint can take a dingy, tired room and give it meaning, elegance and energy. It can cover up, freshen up and open up a space with the right shade. For example, newer families may be adjusting to a baby on the way, so the nursery needs to be a place of joy and freshness, representing new life. If it used to be the Stephan Sardone office that collected dust, maybe it’s time to a lighter color, get rid of those darks CLEAN LINES add and bring in the colors that will add space, MAKE A instead of swallow it up. Create that illuROOM LOOK sion of more room by painting the ceiling a lighter shade than the walls; it just feels TASTEFUL taller and more open.

AND PUT More importantly, if you are going to lighten up the place with a few coats of TOGETHER. paint and you have small children or a baby coming, make sure to get Sherwin Williams’ ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex Paint, which makes it safer for the kids, as there are no solvents being released into the air when it dries.

Clean lines make a room look tasteful and put together. Start with painting or replacing baseboards. Some may think this is a boring project, but you’d be amazed at the fun you can have in making a room stand out with a simple shade of blue on the baseboards. Similarly, painting the trim of your window sill could make it a more picturesque view.

While we’re on the subject of interior painting, I know it’s common for many homes to have old tub showers, which are fully functional but outdated. You know the ones I’m talking about; they’re usually either mint green or baby blue. If you don’t have the budget to redo the bathroom, as we’ve mentioned that can be difficult, hire a resurfacing company to come out and turn the tub shower white. It will not only buy you some time to save up, but it could be all you need to feel content with your bathroom space long term.

But you’re not limited to just the interior; the outside of your home may need attention too.

It’s called curb appeal.

What better way to be welcomed home from a long day at work than with a brand new front door, or rather, one with a new paint job? In fact, take a look at your whole porch area.

Color schemes can make a room appear larger than it really is.

What needs sprucing up to match the spring season that is approaching? Maybe you have an old arch or metal post on the front porch. It might be decorative and beautiful, but it’s also out of date. Catch it up with the times and either replace it or wrap it in a nice paint-grade wood and paint it. Take it a step further and buy some slip-resistant tile from Seconds and Surplus, a warehouse that stocks discounted flooring, granite and tiles. This keeps you updated and under budget.

Along those same exterior lines, if you have cedar shingles on the outside of your home, they’re probably dirty and in need of some maintenance. I suggest power washing, resealing and staining those.

The goal here is to make your home look and feel clean. It creates the illusion of a newer and healthier home, and in turn, a newer and healthier you.

Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.

Park,” Piattoni said. When the old home of the Chicago White Sox was torn down, items from the stadium like seats and signs were auctioned off. He later worked at Christie’s International Auction House in New York and Chicago before starting his own company.

Piattoni's area of expertise is European furniture, decorative arts and militaria, and has appeared on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” and the “Maury Povich Show” and contributed to several magazines. Like the consummate professional ready for any situation, Piattoni carries a small loupe with him, should he find an item that is worthy of close inspection.

His appraisal business in Chicago deals mainly with private individuals and insurance companies. Piattoni does about 10 events — like the one at Edgemere — ­ per year. He has been with “Antiques Roadshow” since day one.

“When I first started at Christie’s, it was the first year of ‘Roadshow,’” Piattoni said. “It had just started. An email went around asking if anyone was interested in doing the show, and I said, ‘Absolutely!’” He had done some interviews on camera but had never formally been part of a show. “No one understood how popular the show would be when it first started.”

Now in its 20th season, “Antique Roadshow” kicks off a six-city summer tour that includes a stop on July 23 in Fort Worth. The beauty of the show is seeing people bring in items for appraisal to see if they own a piece of junk or a potential future retirement plan. The show is seen locally on KERA 13 in Dallas on Mondays at 7 p.m.

While the Edgemere event was exclusive to the residents, guests must be ticketed for the “Antique Roadshow” events. They may bring two items for appraisal and are put in line based on their scheduled time. Each ticket will allow for one appraisal in 20 different categories. If chosen for television by the appraiser, people get the Hollywood treatment: an escort to a green room for makeup, the signing of a formal release and a stint in front of the camera. On average, more than 10,000 items are appraised per event.

“There are about 70 appraisers, and you apply for a show you think you can come to,” Piattoni said, who has two sons and currently lives in Evanston, Ill. “Not every appraiser can come to every show, and it is also a function of how many people sign up for your category.

“In my category — science, technology, collectibles, things like that — the items aren’t crazy big numbers,” Piattoni said. “But the good news is that I am always trying to unlock something for someone. A lot of people have high hopes. But most people know what they have. They know if it is worth a million dollars.

“It is always fun to give people information,” Piattoni said, “but sometimes it is not always good news.

Knowledge is power. A lot of people just come to be part of the show. It has grown so much. I’ve talked to people that say ‘Oh, I just grabbed this item on the way out. I just wanted to be here.’”

Raising the bar on fried chicken

By Sara Newberry The only food I can think of that I have loved my entire life, as long as I can remember, is fried chicken. Anytime I hear about a place that serves a quality batch of chicken, I know it’s only a matter of time before I darken the door. As soon as I found out about Brick & Bones in Deep Ellum, I penciled my visit in on my calendar.

Mudhen Collard Spring Rolls with TahiniMiso Vinaigrette.

By Dotty Griffith

Dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Chef Suki Otsuki is the culinary mastermind executing the paleo vision at Mudhen Meat and Greens. Her take on spring rolls, using big ol’ collard green leaves as wrappers, is emblematic of the approach at the new Dallas Farmers Market flagship restaurant.

Her menu at Mudhen is fresh and forward.

Even if you don’t want to shred and roll the vegetables, her Maple-Tahini Dipping Sauce is great for crudités, as a spread or salad dressing.

MUDHEN COLLARD SPRING ROLLS WITH TAHINI-MISO VINAIGRETTE Maple-Tahini Dipping Sauce: 1 cup tahini 1/2 cup white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons miso paste 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flake 1/4 cup olive oil 3/4 cup grapeseed oil 1/3 cup water or as needed In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients except oils and water until smooth.

Whisking constantly, drizzle oils into mixture until thoroughly combined and emulsified.

Add water to desired consistency. It should

Collard Spring Rolls: 1 bunch collard greens with large leaves 2 to 3 ripe avocados, peeled, seeded and sliced thin 2 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro 1 (12- or 16-ounce) package kelp (raw seaweed) noodles Fill a large, deep skillet or saucepan 3/4 full with water. Place over high heat. Bring to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Meanwhile, select at least 10 to 12 large collard leaves. Rinse and clean thoroughly.

When water boils, place leaves in boiling water for 5 to 10 seconds to wilt. Carefully place leaves in ice water to stop the cooking. This maintains crisp texture and bright color. Remove leaves from water and drain on absorbent towels. When leaves are dry, it is time to roll.

Set up assembly line with bowls of sliced avocado, coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots, cilantro and noodles.

On a collard leaf, place several slices (about 1/4 avocado) lengthwise. Top with a couple of tablespoons shredded cabbage and carrot mixture, a teaspoon or cilantro and a couple of tablespoons of noodles.

Fold a long side of leaf over the filling.

Fold left short side and right short side to create a pocket. Tightly roll lengthwise to create a tube. Set aside seam side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice at an angle as you would a spring roll and serve with dipping sauce.

Makes 10 to 12 rolls.

Corleone family.

Yes, indeed, “Zootopia” has it all. The animation rivals and bests many of Pixar’s movies and the story absolutely blows several out of the water.

The plot that subtly stays transfixed on the inherent prejudices of predator vs. prey is one of the smartest metaphors for the state of current humanity ever put to screen.

The voice work only adds to “Zootopia” and never becomes annoying or distracting. Goodwin conveys the optimism necessary for Judy’s positivity. The deep growl of Elba makes perfect sense when coming from a massive buffalo. Even Tommy Chong shows up as a stoner yak with a much better memory than one would expect.

As to be expected, Bateman steals the show.

There really isn’t another actor that can pull off this level of snark and sarcasm without seeming like a jerk. Other than portraying Michael Bluth in “Arrested Development”, this may actually be the role that Bateman was born to play.

While the acting and animation is top notch,

THEATER APPRECIATION

GOODING cont'd from page 1

Dallas theater-goers can’t get enough ‘Love’

By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

On Sunday, Dallas audiences will bid another fond “Adieu” to Theatre Too’s (T2) popular classic “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (ILY).” In its 16th year, the phenomenon continues to resonate with Dallas patrons who just can’t stop going back for more. Almost every run has been extended — including this year's — and almost every performance sells out.

Why has this show become a fixture on Dallas’ theater scene?

Photo by Linda Harrison Among the draws for In its 16th year at Theatre Too, BJ Cleveland joined the cast of “I Love You, repeat patrons are changes You’re Perfect, Now Change.” Left to right: Max Swarner, Kim Borge Swarner, in cast. Most are “hot” local B.J.

“Zootopia” only excels due to the fantastic screenplay from Jared Bush and Phil Johnston.

The script is peppered with animal jokes, some of which you can see coming from miles away, but the overall message of tolerance for those that aren’t like you shines through and makes this movie much more than it appears.

If there are any beefs with “Zootopia,” it’s that it may overstay its welcome by fifteen minutes or so.

There seems to be one too many endings that drag the movie out a bit. There is also a slightly annoying Shakira (who plays a pop star named Gazelle, guess what animal she is) song that pops up every now and then, but “Zootopia” even manages to make fun of it.

There is no doubt that “Zootopia” is going to clean up at the box office. The good news is that parents won’t mind seeing this one and may get more out of it than their kids do. “Zootopia” is destined to become an animated classic and should easily rack up enough business for this to be the next Disney hit franchise.

and divorce). Because the show covers the subjects of love and marriage throughout life, it is able to reach a wide variety of audiences in a very personal way. Plus, it’s a musical comedy. No one can resist that!

“Jac [Alder] loved the show,” Edwards said. “He thought it was smart and witty. I’m sure that he would be glad to know that the tradition has continued, and he would probably have been thrilled to see B.J. Cleveland join the long list of actors who have been a part of the experience.”

Publicist Jo Ann Holt said about the show’s popularity: “I guess it’s because it’s a slice of life we all experienced in our own lives. Plus, it’s funny!”

Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts wrote the book and lyrics.

DiPietro’s projects include book and lyrics for the Tony Award-winning musical “Memphis,” which received raves when it was produced by the Dallas Summer Musicals.

ILY opened off-Broadway in 1996 and was nominated for the Outstanding off-Broadway musical in 1997. It is the second longestrunning musical in off-Broadway history with 20 preview performances and 5,003 regular performances. It has been produced in 150 cities around the world and has been translated into 17 languages, including Catalan, Slovene, Hebrew and Mandarin.

Expect “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” to return to T2 next year, although details aren’t yet available.

But enough about O.J. Let’s go on a few side trips.

HE SHOOTS, HE SKATES: Shortly after our interview, Gooding went to a Dallas Stars game and watched it from the owner’s suite. He’s a longtime hockey fan, has a rink in his backyard and still plays at age 48 in weekly games sponsored by TV/ film producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

OSCAR TAKES: Gooding has been a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1993. He didn’t support the #OscarsSoWhite boycott, but said there’s a need for more movies made by and starring minorities.

“I’m proud of my Academy membership,” Gooding said. “My sponsors to become a member were Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Spacey. And in the year they accepted me, they said no to Rodney Dangerfield. So it’s a crazy thing.”

SINGING NOT HIS THING: Gooding’s parents, Shirley and Cuba Gooding, Sr., were both accomplished vocalists. His father’s group, The Main Ingredient, recorded the 1972 hit single “Everybody Plays the Fool.”

“It’s all entertainment,” Gooding said of charting his own career path. “I knew as an actor you didn’t have to sing.

And I just wasn’t into singing.”

Gooding briefly was a breakdancer, performing with Lionel Richie during the closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics. When breakdancing “made a resurgence” in the early 2000s, his children asked him to break out some of his old moves.

“So I did, and then it wasn’t cool anymore because Dad did it,” Gooding said.

Ed Bark is the former longstanding TV critic for The Dallas Morning News who has run the TV website unclebarky.com since Sept, 2006. He also is a current board member of the Press Club of Dallas board.

TRAVEL

wald.world@yahoo.com Rum, old cars and cigars — that pretty much sums up the best of Cuba.

Cubans love all of these. If you do, you’ll love Cuba.

But Cuba still has a lot of kinks to work out.

I stayed two days at one of the best all-inclusive resorts on Cuba’s esteemed Varadero Beach, the “four-star” Memories Hotel. The restaurant ran out of dishes during one evening’s dinner and ran out of coffee mugs for one breakfast — just some of the inefficiencies of government-operated hotels.

In my room, the grab bar in the shower was attached to the wall with magnets (useless). The shower curtain rod was rusty.

The framed prints in the room had mold behind the frames, understandable in a hot and humid climate like Cuba’s, but seriously?

At a four-star hotel?

When I checked in, the room wasn’t going to be ready for an hour. I was directed to a snack bar — included with my all-inclusive stay — to get coffee and French fries while I waited. When the hour was up, I still hadn’t gotten the fries.

I told them to cancel them. Their response: The potatoes are big so the fries take a while to make. My

Rum, old cars and cigars

coffee had been served but in a soft plastic cup meant for the liquor that flows freely at all-inclusives.

The heat of the coffee melted the bottom of the plastic cup into a bulge, so when the waitress served it, it spilled all over. The plastic cup would have been almost impossible to hold with hot liquid in it anyway.

If these types of inconveniences bother you when you’re on vacation (and staying at a fancy hotel), you’ll find Cuba a little annoying.

But to help get you through the day, Cubans have what they call Vitamin R or rum. Havana Club is the go-to brand of local rum, the only type Cubans will get caught drinking. The most economical Havana Club is the seven-year rum. Every year, Havana Club’s rum contest judges pick the best Havana Club rum — in their biased opinion — and it is sold as Havana Club Maestro.

This, I am told, is a good option.

Havana Club also has very highend bottles that sell for $1,000 each wrapped in a wooden container.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try this expensive brew.

Another well-respected Cuban rum is Santiago. The 11-year or 12year is the best value, combining excellent quality with an affordable price.

Most people at the all-inclusive, however, don’t ever taste

CELEBRATION cont'd from page 1 Association revolve around this music,” Sheri Bush, president of the Southwest Celtic Music Association, said. “It’s possibly one of the greatest gifts that the Celtic culture has given to the world.”

The North Texas Irish Festival features top Irish musicians and dancers from around the world and a number of cultural presentations on 13 stages at Fair Park. Hungry appetites can be satisfied with Irish stew, Shepherd’s pie or even fish and chips at one of the many food booths featuring traditional Irish cuisine. Cooking presentations from top chefs, whiskey tastings, blacksmithing demonstrations, horse displays and more allow attendees to experience Celtic culture.

these rums, because both of these rums are dark. The typical popular Cuban mixed rum drinks, such as the Piña Colada or Mojito, use a low quality, unaged clear rum.

To go with your rum, there are plenty of Cuban cigars. As with every industry in Cuba, the cigar market is controlled by the government — from tobacco growing, sorting the leaves, to rolling cigars.

And they set the cigar prices high.

The tobacco growing region is in the province of Pinar del Río in the most westerly part of Cuba. If you go, in the beautiful city of Viñales you’ll be able to visit “Benito,” a local tobacco grower. Everyone knows him by name. He’ll show you his warehouse of tobacco and roll a cigar for you. He’ll invite you into his ramshackle home for some Cuban coffee. You’ll need a lot of sugar to make Cuban coffee taste good.

In the back room, Benito will sell 10-cigar bundles of whatever type

of loose cigar he has for a low price of 10 Cuban Convertible Units (C.U.C.’s) per bundle (about $1.15 each). It’s made to feel surreptitious — you are told not to let anyone know you are buying, as Benito has agreed to sell his entire production to the Cuban government for 10 percent of the price.

Cigar in mouth and rum in hand, all you need is to hail a Cuban taxi. Most are old American cars kept in service since the 1950s. They provide a colorful throwback to when Cuba was controlled by gangsters, before Castro.

There’s a lot more to Cuba, but with rum, old American cars and cigars, you’ve covered the best part. With them, you can let the annoyances of travelling third world Cuba roll off your shoulders.

you’re going to be hungrier.

Leptin, on the other hand, is a chemical that signals to your brain when you’re full. This is a hormone you want a lot of, especially when trying to lose weight.

Unfortunately, when you’re sleep deprived, your body slows its production of leptin, causing you to overeat.

You can see the problem here, then.

When your body doesn’t have enough rest not only are you hungrier, but your body doesn’t fill up as quickly as it should. You may think you’re eating a good amount, just until you’re full, but really you’re stuffing yourself with unnecessary calories. Instead, head to sleep early tonight.

Increases production of cortisol. Have you noticed that on the days you don’t get a good night’s rest you seem to get more stressed? You’re not well prepared to handle what life throws at you when you’re tired.

Any time you’re stressed, your body produces more cortisol. Ready for a little more science? You’re learning a lot about your body’s chemicals today.

Known as the “stress hormone,” cortisol helps regulate many of your body’s natural processes, including appetite, blood sugar levels, and the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein. High levels of cortisol signal your body to conserve energy, slow metabolism and increase blood sugar, all of which interfere with your ability to lose weight.

If you feel like you’re struggling with your weight loss, try putting in a few extra hours of sleep tonight, you may find yourself more energized and less hungry overall.

DALLAS FOUNDATION

The Dallas Foundation serves as a keystone, the critical link between generous donors and the causes they cherish.

By Sally Blanton

culling down hundreds of Letters of Inquiry from nonprofit organizations working to improve our community and an equal number of scholarship applications from worthy individuals. While the community’s needs far exceed the resources we are able to award, last year we granted a total of approximately $2.4 million through the two grant cycles and $1.4 million in scholarships. In our most recent funding cycle, we awarded a grant to the Trinity Strand Trail, which will connect the Katy Trail to the Trinity River in the future.

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

QW hat is your mission or highest

purpose?

The Dallas Foundation serves as a resource, leader and catalyst for philanthropy by providing donors with flexible means of making gifts to charitable causes that enhance our community. A group of the city’s most prominent businessmen established the organization in June 1929. They had learned about a new type of institution, called a community foundation. These foundations allowed gifts and bequests from many individuals to be combined into a permanent endowment to benefit the local community.

A

QW hat is rewarding about your job?

A Working with our donors. The Dallas

Foundation holds 280 donor-advised funds, established by individuals or families interested in philanthropic giving, as well as a number of community, agency, scholarship and designated funds.

The opportunity to work daily with these charitably minded individuals and to witness the impact of their philanthropic investments is incredibly rewarding.

QW hat are your critical needs now, be-

sides money donations?

The Dallas Foundation exists in perpetuity. To achieve this long-term impact, there are many giving options to choose from besides simply writing a check. We would be delighted to discuss the charitable options available to individuals interested in establishing an endowment or enhancing their charitable legacy.

A

QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?

A Our staff, through the Community

Philanthropy and Donor Services Departments, studies challenges facing North Texas and searches constantly for nonprofit agencies that address those issues most efficiently and effectively.

When donors want to give — either in Dallas or even internationally — we can help them find agencies poised to make a measurable difference.

QW hat is difficult about your job?

A Each year our Community Philanthropy Team faces the very difficult task of

Q S uppose your non-profit received a

$20,000 check in the mail today … where would it immediately be put to good use??

The beauty of an organization like The Dallas Foundation is that a $20,000 contribution could be directed any one of a number of ways. The Community Impact Fund, our general endowment, which supports a variety of causes serving residents of Dallas County, is a fund that grows and as it does, is able to provide more grant dollars each year.
