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

I can't hear you
By Bronwen Roberts I take earplugs to the movies. While I love the Alamo Drafthouse, unfortunately, I find the brainscrambling volume of their film screenings unbearable without hearing protection. It seems they are confusing sound quality with loudness. Not only is the extra amplification the opposite of good quality — it’s deafening. Unfortunately, this seems to be an epidemic. As a musician and music lover, I am keen to the fact that “louder” is rarely “better.” In fact, the louder a band plays, the more it literally dampens the ear’s ability to distinguish individual nuances of music, thus diminishing the experience. In this case, earplugs actually help me hear better. Why should music have to be uncomfortable? Why should I have to wear earplugs? Maybe (maybe) it’s forgivable in concert venues or bars, where one can anticipate such a thing. But it is unacceptable in restaurants where music, live or piped in, is meant to be a dessert, not the main course. Instead of ambiance, we get assault with a side of tinnitus. Hearing is our fastest sense, requiring a mere .05 seconds to process sound information (versus .25 seconds for visual, according to neuroscientists). Yet so many treat their ears carelessly. Every rock concert, whirring piece of loud machinery or even those crowded bars — they have potentially enacted irreversible damage on some of your body’s most important hardware. According to WebMD.com, sounds above 85 decibels are generally considered detrimental to hearing. For comparison, a normal speaking volume is around 60 decibels, and a lawn mower produces noise of 90 decibels. Incidentally, the volume at which pain is induced is the same volume at which most rock concerts are blasted: around 120 decibels. A crowded bar can be as much as 100 decibels. And it’s not just the volume of
sound that can be damaging, but the duration. People who work in loud settings, such as food service, bars, retail stores and music venues, are at the greatest risk of hearing damage. Why, then, have we come to tolerate these ear-splitting environments? Loud music has effectively been shown to increase sales. In stores aimed at young crowds, for instance, fast-paced pop music played at higher volumes leads to a sensory overload, thus increasing impulsive decision-making — like buying things. This also goes for alcohol. When the lights go down at the bar, the volume goes up, making natural conversation impossible. You can’t talk, so you might as well drink. A 2004 study by French professor Nicolas Guegen and colleagues showed that people drank on average one more drink per sitting in loud situations versus normal situations. So in the case of business, loud volumes are an insidious ploy to boost profits at the expense of public health — but at least there’s logic behind it. Unfortunately, at the movie theater, there is no such logic. I am not going to buy more popcorn because the film is louder. Instead, I might leave the theater. I think about families who take young children to the movies. Kids’ fresh ears are in mint condition to pick up higher frequencies and lower volume. Their ears are much more sensitive than those of adults, and kids are more likely to experience discomfort in loud situations, even if their (halfdeaf) parents feel fine. Loud volumes for extended periods of time are not just annoying. They are a public health hazard. I dream of the day the city of Dallas imposes a limit to the maximum decibels allowable in an establishment. Until then, my earplugs are at the ready — they ride around with me everywhere in a small vial in my purse. Ear protection now is a health decision for the future.

Moreno cont'd from page 1 In 1991, while performing in Federico García Lorc’s “Yerma” at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., he fell five f loors out of a hotel window and was paralyzed from the waist down. He returned to Dallas for rehabilitation and received his MFA in directing from SMU in 2001. His first local production was directing “Miss Julie” at Kitchen Dog Theater in 1996. He went on to direct productions at Shakespeare Dallas, Dallas Children’s Theater, WingSpan Theatre Company, Theatre Three, Contemporary Theatre of Dallas and others. Moreno called his mishap a “freak accident.” He returned to Dallas and entered physical therapy and psychotherapy, thinking his theater days were over. But that changed when he was asked to return to the theater as both an actor and then a director at Kitchen Dog Theater. He became one of the most sought-after directors in Dallas, winning countless awards and earning high praise from critics and audiences alike. Michael Serrecchia, friend and colleague, said, “Losing René is a blow to the artistic landscape of Dallas. Such a broad spectrum of experience and talents. Personally, I have lost a friend and a confidant. From our separate times in NYC, we shared the experiences of The Public Theatre, Shakespeare
in the Park, and of Peter Hall. It gave us a bond that was unique and played a role in forging our creative process.” Moreno directed Barbara Bierbrier in WingSpan Theatre’s staged reading of “Rose,” which opened at the Bath House Cultural Center only days following his death. Bierbrier said, “None of us can find enough words to express the extent of our admiration and love. But the one quality that made it possible for us to experience those gifts was his incredible bravery in the face of personal tragedy. “When the accident robbed him of the use of his legs, and thus of his thriving career on the Broadway stage, he never gave in to despair. He came back home to Dallas, adjusted to life in his chair, never expected sympathy and went on to build a career that has inspired and enriched the entire DFW theater community.” Moreno’s friend and colleague Mark Oristano said, “I’m still numb from it all. All I can say is that it will be a long while before Dallas/Fort Worth and the theater scene here have another talent as large, or another personality as delightful.” Moreno is survived by his longtime partner, Charles McMullen. A celebration of René Moreno’s life and work will be Saturday, April 29 at 1 p.m. at Dallas City Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District.

While in college, the money he was getting for college ran out. Davis discovered that big money could be made in the insurance industry.

He knew that he had to learn the skills necessary to make sure than his wealth was well-managed.

A Home for all God's Creatures
Bird Sanctuary dedicated at Juliette Fowler Communities By Imani Williams Residents at Juliette Fowler Communities aim to further green their community. A part of a larger initiative, the residents at the 25-acre retirement community in East Dallas recently dedicated the “Barton Bird Sanctuary.” On March 28, the community gathered to honor fellow-residents Rey and Bob Barton who donated most of the bird feeders. The bird sanctuary project was spearheaded by Resident Council President Suzanne Starling and will provide a safe place for the many species of birds, as well as give residents and visitors access to nature. Chaplain Sara Beckham, Fowler President and CEO Sabrina Porter and Executive Director Kristen Mazza participated in the dedication, sharing words of thanks to the Barton’s for their many contributions to Fowler. Jim Peterson, local master birder of Wild Birds Unlimited, stressed the benefits of nature and the positive effects it has on senior living communities. At the end of the ceremony, the birds made a surprising entrance — as if to bless their new home. A woodpecker joined doves and sparrows as a pair of squirrels foraged nearby. “We have several other projects in

progress to further embrace our green initiatives. We enjoy working with our residents to enhance our beautiful grounds and support energy and water conservation,” stated Porter. Juliette Fowler Communities was founded 125 years ago and named for Dallas’ first female philanthropist and Dallas pioneer, Juliette Peak Fowler. Fowler’s vision for intergenerational living has cared for thousands of children, youth and elders and continues to do so
today with a wide range of services. This thriving, park-like community in the heart of East Dallas includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, as well as five-star quality nursing and rehabilitation services. Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services partners with Fowler to provide foster care and adoption services. A newly founded residential program, The Ebby House, is home to young women who have aged-out of foster care. For more information, visit fowlercommunities.org or call 214-827-0813.

MOVIE TRAILER
Johansson miscast in ghastly ‘Ghost in the Shell’ By Chic DiCiccio Remember Scarlett Johansson? You know, the promising and talented actress that once dropped two lead performances so great in one year (2004’s “Lost in Translation” & “Girl with a Pearl Earring”) that they effectively cancelled each other out at Oscar time? Sure, she’s shown up and been a bit of a side player in the Marvel movie world and scored a reasonably big hit in “Lucy,” but where did that serious actress go? She did not go to “Ghost in the Shell.” This horribly miscast, “Blade Runner” wannabe doesn’t even have the audacity to be visually engaging, which begs the question: Why did they even bother making this thing? The movie takes place in the future in what is a massive Asian city. It’s impossible to know the time or place as “Ghost in the Shell” doesn’t tell you. It must be the distant future as we quickly meet Major (Johansson), a mechanical shell housing a real human brain (her “ghost,” duh) via transplant. Her “creator,” Dr. Ouelet (Juliette Binoche, clearly enhancing her bank account), hands her over to Hanka, a massive corporation that trains Major to defeat terrorism with a highly distracting flesh-colored,
skin tight body suit. Major also uses Kung Fu and machine guns to fight cyber-terror, which seems to initially come in the form of spider robot geisha girls led by a mysterious, hooded operative named Kuze (Michael Pitt). She complains of hallucinations, which are dismissed by Dr. Ouelet as “glitches,” but anyone who isn’t completely oblivious should realize these are visions from her “ghost’s” past. Nearly every moment of “Ghost in the Shell” is telegraphed and all the plot twists are old hat, with evil corporations doing evil things that are combatted with “justifiable” terrorism and murder. Director Rupert Sanders doesn’t make this whip of a screenplay any more palatable with nothing more than homages and blatant rip-offs from other sci-fi films. Sanders isn’t the first director to study every frame of “The Matrix” and then use them over and over, but hopefully, he will be the last. There’s been a stink surrounding the cultural implications of “Ghost in the Shell” and it’s addressed in the film’s plot (sort of). If this was handled by a director interested in more than lazy camerawork and a plot worse than most video games, the social commentary could have had an impact instead of

Scarlett Johansson stars in “Ghost in the Shell.” being mercilessly mocked. Normally, Scarlett Johansson can make movies that have no business being watchable actually watchable. Here, she is completely asleep at the switch. Sure, she looks cool and is more than capable of handling action scenes like the ones in “Ghost in the Shell,” but this is a truly vacant performance. Awkward doesn’t really do justice for the implied romantic angle between Johansson and Pilou Asbaek, who plays her partner, Batou.
The plot point is dead on arrival and only gets worse once Asbaek’s character is given tiny cameras for eyes. There is zero chemistry between the two of them and their entire relationship feels forced, as if the team of screenwriters felt compelled to have “romance” for romance’s sake. “Ghost in the Shell” also suffers from a lack of fun of any kind. There is absolutely no humor or relief from this sour affair. The world that Sanders has created is vivid and bright, but it’s not enough to save this depression-filled slog. “Ghost in the Shell” is destined to be a $110 million failure of massive proportions. This is the kind of box office and critical disaster that puts directors, producers and screenwriters in the penalty box for a handful of years. This movie will heavily depend on the foreign box office and rentals to cover its budget, but it will never make up for the fact that a movie with built-in fandom is an abject failure.

feline cont'd from page 1 dogs and two to three years in cats. In cats, most heartworms don’t survive to the adult stage. Most cats with adult heartworms have only one to three worms (compared to 30 or more adult worms in dogs), and most cats don’t have any adult heartworms at all. You may be thinking “Oh good, that doesn’t sound so bad. I don’t have to worry about heartworms in my cat.” Wrong! Just one or two worms can make your cat very sick, and even the juvenile worms can seriously damage your cat’s respiratory system. The death of juvenile or adult heartworms can cause pulmonary arterial, bronchial and alveolar disease, also known as heartworm associated respiratory disease (HARD). HARD symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing. The medication used to treat heartworm infections in dogs can’t be used in cats, so heartworm prevention is the only way to protect your cat. Signs of Feline Heartworm Infection In cats, heartworm disease primarily affects the lungs. Signs of heartworm infection may be subtle or very dramatic. Symptoms include: • Coughing • Asthma-like attacks • Occasional vomiting • Lack of appetite • Weight loss Less common symptoms include: • Difficulty walking • Fainting or seizures • Fluid accumulation in the abdomen Unfortunately, the first sign of heartworm disease in cats may be the cat’s sudden collapse or death. Feline Heartworm Testing The heartworm test is a blood test that detects the presence of heartworm proteins. For cats, the preferred

Perfection is more than a vague concept; it is something that is worth pursuing — for it is, indeed, attainable! But there's a catch, of course, and that is that not everyone will be able to recognize perfection when they come upon it — and, worse, he or she who achieves it may not know it at the time. ARIES (March 21-April 4) Someone close to you will make you feel special, and you can return the favor, but not right now. That time will come a little later.

(June 7-June 20) – The old-fashioned and the newfangled are likely to meet in an unexpected way, giving you the chance to maximize your rewards. CANCER (June 21-July 7) The more ingredients you add to the mix, the more you'll enjoy the results, even though things come out looking a little alien to you. (July 8-July 22) – You can turn things on their ear and provide something a little fancier in place of that which is simply routine. Others appreciate the extra effort.

method of screening includes both an antigen and an antibody test. The latter tests for exposure to heartworm larvae. Your vet may also use x-rays or ultrasound to detect heartworms. Your cat should be tested before starting heartworm prevention and re-tested when your vet deems it appropriate to document continued exposure and risk. Heartworm Prevention for Cats Because there is no approved drug therapy for heartworm disease in cats, prevention is essential. The American Heartworm Society recommends annual heartworm testing and year-round heartworm prevention for cats — even inside cats — in every state. Unfortunately, mosquitoes often find their way inside our homes. Available heartworm preventives for cats include ivermectin, moxidectin/imidacloprid and selamectin that may be administered orally, topically or via injection. Again, do not give a heartworm medication designed for dogs to your cat, and vice versa. Dog products should only be used on dogs, and cat products should only be used on cats. Ask your vet to recommend the best heartworm preventive for your cat. A prescription and heartworm test are required. Heartworm preventives kill the heartworm larvae, including the infected heartworm larvae deposited by the mosquito as well as the larval stage that develops inside your pet. The larvae can become adults in as little as 51 days. Heartworm preventives do NOT kill adult heartworms, so the heartworms must be killed before they reach the adult stage. Therefore, it’s crucial to administer preventives on schedule (monthly for oral and topical products, every six months for the injectable product). Giving your cat an inexpensive, monthly heartworm preventive keeps her safe from those deadly worms. Be sure to keep up with your cat’s annual checkup and other recommended tests and vaccinations. With feline as with canine health, prevention is usually much easier and cheaper than treatment. For more information about heartworm disease in cats and dogs, visit heartwormsociety.org.
Your Stars this Week The coming week will require more solitude than most are used to, as both work and play offer up situations that can be truly beneficial only when experienced alone. This is not to say that there is no place for togetherness; on the contrary, there will be ample opportunities for friends and family members to enjoy each other's company, and for co-workers to maximize productivity through cooperation and teamwork. The greatest rewards, however, will come to those who are able to spend more time away from the society of others. Professional projects and personal endeavors will come along much better when there are no distractions — especially the distractions that are inevitable and unavoidable when others are around!

Certainly, Green drew inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house in rural Pennsylvania. The principles of organic architecture are decidedly at play here with a symbiotic relationship between the land and the house. The home is built into the slope of the site, opening out and merging into the landscape. A rolling stream begins at the front door, disappears under a bridge of the house and continues on the other side, falling into a koi pond and flowing down the natural rock formations to White Rock Creek below. Greene has created a perfect homage to Wright’s vision: “No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together, each the happier for the other.” Built by Joe Kain Homes and completed in 2007, the interiors were designed by Robyn Menter Design Associates. The home has been featured on NBC Universal TV’s "Open House" and won the 2010 AIA Dallas Design Award for Interior Architecture. Floor-to-ceiling commercial, double-pane, energyefficient window walls overlook a 10-acre nature preserve across the creek. In keeping with Wright’s timeless architecture principles, the ornamentation in the home comes from nature and the use of organic and natural elements such as Douglas fir, Lueders limestone, white oak and
Texas Hill Country rather than minutes from a major urban center. “It is one of the most amazing homes I have ever seen," Briggs-Freeman Sotheby’s listing agent Vicki White said. “Every room feels like you are outdoors, and the views go forever. You have to see it to believe it.” It would take a book to detail all of the aspects of this $7.99 million estate but, suffice it to say, no expense was spared and no detail overlooked. We’ll leave you with another quote from Wright that could not be more fitting: “If you wisely invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.” CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed!

up there — more than you would wake up there — certainly has its implications. Not that they [pro athletes] didn’t have access to go there working in another city and being part of an organization. The hazards are worthy of observation and consideration in how you operate in that environment. “Just as you should have — coming into the league — a system and a plan, moving into a city like that, you must have a system and a plan.” Davis equated it to being in California — where he keeps a high-profile office in the Hollywood Hills — where you can go to the beach or go to the mountains on any given day. “It is all about preparation,” Davis said. “You can deal with any environment if you are prepared and if you are aware.”

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

Thirty-five lucky Lakehill Upper School students embarked on the trip of a lifetime this Spring Break, taking off to the Big Apple. On March 13, the students began their adventure by being picked up in limos and taken to the W hotel in the heart of Times Square. The group attended six fantastic Broadway shows: “Miss Saigon,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Natasha Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812,” “The Present” and “Paramour.” The students participated in a Broadway workshop, getting the chance to work with performers from “Paramour,” learning a musical number and a dance from the show. Students spent a morning visiting the Museum of Modern Art and took a tour of the National September 11 Memorial. They had many opportunities to experience New York City culture, shopping at local shops and trying the food at local delis and doughnut shops. They also enjoyed the unexpected surprise of seven inches of snow

on their trip. In their down time, students had the option to spend their time shopping in SoHo, touring and shopping in the landmark eleven-floor Macy's or exploring Times Square. The group concluded their time in New York by eating at the popular Ellen's Stardust Diner on Broadway, enjoying a live performance from the waiters as they ate. “I think one of the things I enjoyed most was seeing the students work together and help each other out,” said Bruce McCoskey who was a chaperone on the trip. “It warmed my heart. That's really what these trips are all about.” “The trip was a great experience,” said freshman Lindsey Evans. Fellow freshman Elizabeth Blanchard agreed. “I was able to get to know more of the students and to spend time with people I didn't know well before the trip.” — Salma El-Feky, Marketing Intern, Class of 2017

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Let’s admit it. We’re all hoarders of some kind. With widespread interests, we become collectors of special items, whether that means mugs or old watches, plates or vintage albums. These are often sentimental (and expensive) items that we have a hard time getting rid of, but most of the time we struggle with how to display them. The good news? If done tastefully, our collections can shine and even add a lot of value to a space, so I’d like to go into the best spots for various types of collectables. Common collections include things like old blue plates, items from beaches such as shells, or other trinkets like arrow Photos courtesy of Pinterest heads, old tools, radios or books.
