“Theater is more than entertainment; it is a vehicle for social change and growth,” said Michael Serrecchia, current director of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Garland Summer Musicals (GSM). This is the first of two productions of this summer’s GSM season. The show runs through June 26, with performances this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

If you’re new to “Fiddler on the Roof,” the story is about an Orthodox Jewish family living in a small town in Russia, Anatevka. The Russian population is less than generous to share their country with the Jewish population. What ensues is pure “tradition.”

Forest Hills

After more than half a century, couple dreams on

By Sujata Dand George and Dottie Hicks have lived in their two story home in Forest Hills for more than half a century. In a neighborhood where large new houses are on the rise, the Hicks’ humble abode, lined with a white picket fence, is more traditional than modern — much like the Hicks themselves.

“We’ve dreamed many dreams that never came true,” Dottie recalls. “But we’ve realized enough of our dreams, thank God, to keep dreaming on.”

At 89 years old, George is still designing homes. His wall in his home office is filled with sketches of new projects. Dottie is an artist. She often sits in her art studio or in the backyard, surrounded by her beautiful portraits reading from her Bible.

“Our day begins with reading scripture on the back porch,” Dottie says, “and ends with reading scripture before we go to sleep.”

It was their faith that brought them together in Canton, Texas where George’s dad was a pastor in a one-room school house. It was 1944, Dottie was 12 years old and George was 17.

“One October, I was walking down a country lane, and my cousin said ‘There he is, the cutest boy in the world,’” Dottie remembers. “He started throwing red junipers at me. I pretended to ignore him.”

Five years later they married.

“I bought her this engagement ring,” George said. “It’s an itty bitty thing. And it took her a while to say yes.”

Dottie still wears the ring around her neck on a chain. They

COFFEE For A Cause

A café that cares

By Rosemary Curtis “The Most Generous Cup of Coffee in Town” — although Union Coffee House certainly doesn’t skimp on its drinks, the motto refers to more than the actual coffee in your cup. In addition to providing high-quality coffee and other drinks, Union is a nonprofit coffee shop parented by the United Methodist Church that donates 10 percent of all its coffee sales to local Dallas charities. Union’s benefiting charity changes every four months. At the end of May, the shop was able to donate approximately $5,000 to North Texas tornado relief, helping continue to rebuild the homes that were destroyed last winter and soon forgotten by potential donors as news moved on.

The charity chosen for June-September is Junior Players, a Dallas organization that provides theatre day camps completely free of charge all over the city. The group is able to engage a diverse group of low-income kids in fun activities often inaccessible to kids whose parents can’t afford to send them to pricey summer camps.

Other charities that have benefited from Union’s donations include The Family Place, a domestic violence shelter that empowers and counsels victims of family violence; Café

Momentum, a nonprofit restaurant and culinary-training center that employs at-risk youth who have spent time in juvenile detention centers; and the North Texas Food Bank.

Union was started in 2012 by the United Methodist Church as an experiment in seeing what incredible things may result when people and communities from around Dallas could be brought together in one place to do church in a different way.

Besides the multitude of causes Union has supported financially, it has also started its own mission projects.

The space also hosts regular community events, including Naked Stage (storytelling nights), SLAM Poetry nights, Open Mic Spoken Word, Classic Blend concert series nights, and two nights a week of a conversation-based worship service — Tuesday night services called Kuneo and Sunday night services called Studio.

Union is led by a community curator, Rev. Michael Baughman, an ordained United Methodist minister. Baughman leads the Kuneo and Studio worship services each night and seeks to interest young adults in discussing religion and ethics. Religious questioning is not only welcomed at Union, it’s a core part of the Studio worship service.

“But I’d like the pie heated and I don’t want the ice cream on top I want it on the side and I’d like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it’s real if it’s out of a can then nothing,” Sally told the waiter in the movie “When Harry Met Sally.”

I believe everyone should have to wait tables at some point in their lives. Being a server teaches you humility, patience and gives you a good taste of the world in which we live. Some people are picky; some are not.

Some people like tomatoes on their burgers; some do not. Some people are good tippers; some are not. But I’ve learned the best tippers are people who have had to serve others to earn money.

Now that my son and his friends have graduated from high school and into the real world, they have all gotten summer jobs. One works at a grocery store, another at a fast food restaurant. My son? He is working as a counselor at Boy Scout camps and also doing “favors.”

Favor is a driving service

much like Uber or Lyft. But instead of taking you somewhere they bring things to you. You can order anything (food, cat litter, shampoo, etc.) and they will deliver it to your doorstep. It’s a brilliant business plan. I wish I had thought of it.

My first job was scooping ice cream at Ashburns on Knox Street (where Toulouse and Taverna are now). We could eat all the ice cream we wanted. Oh, the sweet memories I have of my time there.

My first “adult” job was working for the managing director of a law firm in Los Angeles.

The memories of my time there aren’t as sweet as the ice cream shop, but I still use the skills I learned from all those lawyers on a daily basis.

Jobs teach us important lessons about responsibility. They also help us learn about budgets and how to earn and save money.

And most of all, jobs help us understand how crucial it is to know how to work well with others.

So, good luck all you new grads! May the world serve you well during your new adventures in life.

Union Coffee House regularly hosts community events, including storytelling, SLAM Poetry and concerts.

Of course, no matter how good their cause may be, no coffee shop can succeed without also providing excellent coffee.

Even here, Union still focuses on staying local. The beans are bought from Eiland Coffee Roasters in Richardson. In part due to the proximity, the beans are always fresh, making the coffee that Union serves that much better. In addition, Union has a large variety of flavored syrups to give your drinks a unique taste. Ever tried lavender in your mocha? Now you can.

The location also contains two private conference rooms that can be easily reserved online for meetings. In addition, Union can cater your meeting and, of course, provide boxes of coffee.

Union Coffee offers not only delicious drinks — try the Matcha Mint if you aren’t a coffee drinker — but also a space to empower Dallasites to make a difference in their community. It exists to put the ideas of individuals into action through a group effort. The mission statement

reads, “Union cultivates the divine spark in our neighbors for the good of the city and the world it inspires through outstanding coffee, robust community and engaging causes.”

So next time you need to have a meeting, let some of the money you spend go to a good cause and have it at Union.

If you need to bring coffee to another location, pick up a box at Union instead of just going to your regular, corporate coffee shop. If you have an idea for the next great communitybuilding project for Dallas, get in touch with Union. If you and your friends want to enjoy a fun night of board games together, Union has your back with a vast game selection and large tables to gather around. And if you just want a place to relax and enjoy a good hot or cold drink with a book or free wifi, Union is still the place for you.

Mull It Over

Hoop-It-Up once a slam dunk

Hoop-It-Up game in the West End, 1998.

By David Mullen As Dallas takes to the streets for outdoor activities and festivals, it is hard not to recall an event that once dominated DFW. It was a four-man, three-on-three basketball tournament called Hoop-ItUp, and the man most associated with it was media professional and entrepreneur Terry Murphy. Like a 20-foot jump shot, the rise and fall of the event goes up and down.

“In 1987, I was the publisher of D Magazine and Special Olympics came to me and said we are looking for a fundraiser,” said Murphy, 75 years old and living in Addison. “I had read a story about this three-on-three basketball tournament in remote Michigan.”

The Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament began in 1974 in Lowell, Mich. with 18 players vying for a purse of $18. The Gus Macker is still very much alive with competition in more than 75 cities with

more than 200,000 players.

“I said ‘We will call it ‘Hoop-D-Do’ because of D Magazine,’” Murphy recalled.

“And so we did it, and with a week to go in registration we had 40 teams signed up. And then in the last week we got 448 more teams. So that was pretty wild.

“The next year we did it, we had 1,100 teams. I had announced that I was leaving D and was going to start my own company.” The partnership between Special Olympics and the gregarious Murphy had soured. “I had a check ready for Special Olympics for $127,000, fired them as the charity and brought in Family Place,” Murphy said.

“And then I went out and tried to sell sponsorships,” Murphy said. “And it took me about 10 months and I got Pepsi and Pizza Hut to come in for $1.1 million. And they said, ‘We want to change the name.’ And I said, ‘For a million bucks you can call it anything you want.’ They said ‘We

want to call it Hoop-It-Up,’ and I said ‘Great, that is what we will call it.’”

The very first Pepsi/Pizza Hut Hoop-It-Up was in 1989, and had expanded to 18 cities. Teams with wacky names comprised of all sexes, ages, ethnicities, heights and skill levels paid to play in the boiling Dallas heat over a weekend tournament. Most played for the social aspect and thousands of people would just come down to watch. The West End was wall-to-wall makeshift basketball courts on the streets and parking lots.

Murphy had made a financial commitment to purchase portable backboards and hoops.

Stands lined Ross Avenue and beyond featuring food and drink, radio stations, various products and a misting station.

“Then I brought in sponsors like Nike and Gatorade, and banks and other sponsors,” Murphy said. “We slowly grew.

The next year we had 25 events

Along the Green Trail

Picking up litter contagious

By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette

Seventy-five percent of people have admitted to littering in the past five years. Are you one of them? Statistically, you probably are. Why do we litter?

Psychology tells us littered places attract more trash. If we see trash on the ground, we are more likely to think it’s acceptable and drop our own. If we see others picking up trash, we are less likely to throw our trash on the ground. This is a situation where one person can start a rippling effect in a good direction or in the opposite pollution direction.

Photo by Naima Montacer This past weekend I found myself Trash overflows from bin on the Texas coastline. along the Texas coast again, saddened by the immense amount of litter along the cleanup on the beach. The area where they walked beaches and jetties. I drove behind a packed golf and collected bags of trash was still littered with cart that simply tossed their cigarettes on the road plastic bags, bottle caps, fast food cups and more. when they were done with them.

MOVIE TRAILER

McConaughey misfires in big budget ‘Free State of Jones’

By Chic DiCiccio With “Free State of Jones,” “The McConaissance” has hit its first bump in the road. The wheels haven’t completely flown off of this historic drama, but they are a bit wobbly and aren’t exactly being sold as advertised. In fact, when word gets out that there are more thrills and action in a weekend Civil War reenactment, it’s going to be difficult for this movie to make any returns on its $65 million budget.

Director and screenwriter Gary Ross doesn’t seem to know what kind of movie he wanted to make.

There’s nothing wrong with telling a historic story with only a few moments of action, but “Free State of Jones” is put together like a documentary, complete with real still photos and text detailing the Civil War timeline. There’s also very little character development, which only leaves a viewer horrified by what they’ve seen without a real emotional investment in who it is happening to.

“Free State of Jones” begins in 1862 during the Battle of Corinth in which Newton Knight (Matthew McConaughey) was a medic.

Events during the battle and the revolting “20 Slave Law” become quite enough for Newt and he deserts the Confederate army, returning home to his wife, Serena (Keri Russell).

Newt is eventually tracked down for desertion, and after stopping Confederate soldiers from raiding a neighboring farm, he escapes to the swamps of Jones County, Miss. He joins a camp of escaped slaves, who are led by Moses Washington (Mahershala Ali). Newt also meets Rachel (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and

Matthew McConaughey leads the charge through the plodding film “Free State of Jones.”

after learning his wife has abandoned their farm, he begins a controversial relationship with her.

With an almost two and a half hour runtime, one would think that Newt’s army of deserters and escaped slaves trying to push Confederate forces out of Jones County would be more than enough story to keep “Free State of Jones” moving. However, out of nowhere, Ross moves the story ahead 80 years and into a Mississippi courtroom. It’s an effort to show just how long that deepseated racism went on in Mississippi, and its initial vagueness is meant to keep you in suspense, but it’s so poorly constructed and hamfisted into the movie that it’s easy to see where it is going.

When the fighting

stops, “Free State of Jones” grinds to a halt. The final third is a snooze with only one tragic moment having any emotional impact. The movie also falls victim to having what seems like three or four endings.

One of the biggest problems with Ross’ screenplay is the two women in Newt’s life are reduced to ogling, bit players with no ability to help themselves. It has taken two talented actresses in Keri Russell and Gugu Mbatha-Raw and given them nothing to do.

Mahershala Ali, known to most as the slick talking Remy from “House of Cards,” has the largest character arc as he grows from illiterate, freed slave to voter registration activist. He’s a seriously talented actor and the scenes he shares with McConaughey’s

Newt are the highlights of the entire movie.

Matthew McConaughey, as he’s done for the last five years, gives “Free State of Jones” his all, but the pace and story drag him down.

Nobody acting today does righteous troublemaker quite as well as he does and his conviction regarding the role of Newton is clear. This is also the first time that his real life, personal bathing habits benefit his role as he is perpetually covered in dirt.

Fortunately, “Free State of Jones” smartly avoids the tiresome trap of “white man shows up to save the black man.” The story, while not shying away from the grotesque history of slavery, has an overall message of equality and people keeping the things they have earned.

This is a story that should be loaded with heart, but it becomes a procedural march to the end. It’s unfortunate that an extremely important, timely and relevant message regarding the history of the United States is lost in the delivery.

Musical cont'd from page 1 all the gestures and nuances down pat. He might have been more authentic with the local dialect. Nonetheless, he was very effective in the role.

Matriarch Golde is the traditional wife and mother of the times. Serrecchia added, “Together the Mama and Papa bring a heavy sense of history.”

“Tradition” is of utmost importance to Tevye, who finds himself challenged by his and Golde’s three oldest daughters.

Each brings a new way of thinking about marriage, which is hard for Tevye to accept. “He eventually exhibits love, tolerance and acceptance, in various degrees,” Serrecchia said.

As Golde, Noelle Mason is a standout. She portrays Mama with authenticity, right down to covering her eyes while chanting the prayer over the Sabbath candles. Her strong vocals demonstrate the power she has inside. Golde adheres to Tevye’s wishes, but she also expresses her own with lyrics like, “May the Lord protect and defend you. May He always shield you from shame.”

Andi Allen does Yenta proud with her blathering and determination to get all five of Golde’s daughters married off despite their ages.

Joey Donoian creates his own wacky persona as Motel, the tailor, with what seems like exhaustive energy. It gets him lots of laughs.

As Lazar Wolf, Neil Rogers is in a category in himself. He’s convincing as both the

harsh butcher, who obviously already had issues with Tevye, and the promised husband, full of hope and generosity. Rogers is skilled at switching between the two with finesse. In future productions of this show, Rogers would be an ideal Tevye.

Amanda Brown is sensational as Fruma-Sarah, Lazar Wolf ’s first wife, when she comes to Tevye in a dream. It takes six people to operate her 18 ft. tall character, who is dressed in 68 yards of fabric. It took many hours to build her dress and four hours of full technical rehearsal to perfect her performance in it. Brown is nothing short of amazing. Michael Robinson and

Those who have a major project waiting on the horizon will surely be most pressed.

The need to get things done before heading off on that new adventure is absolute. This week, much is known; but next week — and the weeks following — may bring much that is unknown, so the docket must be cleared!

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You're eager to start off on a new journey, but you must tend to certain assignments as they come. Don't relinquish control.

(July 8-July 22) – Your schedule may be not at all certain as the

week opens, so you must ensure that you have time to get it all done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Your eagerness to prove that you have what it takes may get the better of you and cause a meltdown. You can recover!

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Someone may be too willing to give you what you ask for. An investigation yields information that is unsurprising.

Suzi Cranford of Dallas Costume Shoppe are to be congratulated again for their usual brilliant costume design.

According to Serrecchia, the fiddler is a symbol of change; Tevye’s cart represents tradition. But then came Orlando’s senseless tragedy. The director said, “The parallels were frightening … I was struck by the tension and hate that existed between the Jews and the Russians, ultimately resulting in the Jewish expulsion from their homes.

And death on a massive scale.”

The director added, “What happened in Orlando [was] the targeting of a group of people who are different. The senseless act of cruelty and hate.”

Serrecchia wants patrons to take away the tough questions about the parallel between Anatevka and recent tragedy in Orlando: “How is this different?

How can we heal? What can we learn from this?”

Despite his pain and broken heart, Tevye learns to tolerate and accept his daughters’ unorthodox choices, but he never questions their mutual love.

Performances will be Friday, June 24 and 25, with both evening and matinee performances.

The second and final show of GSM’s season, “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” will open July 22 and run through July 31, with performances July 22, 28, 29 and 30 at 8 p.m, and 2:30 p.m. matinees July 24 and July 31.

Your Stars this Week The coming week will see things getting somewhat backed up for some individuals, though this needn't be a serious obstacle when it comes to pursuing primary personal goals. What we all must do, of course, is tend to things one at a time until the view ahead becomes clearer and it becomes possible to multitask and pay more attention to efficiency. In other words, prioritization is the key; the most pressing issues must be addressed and the most time-sensitive endeavors completed before other things can be tackled all at once. A creative approach can certainly prove beneficial, and anyone who is willing to try something new as a way of maximizing productivity is likely to have the advantage.

Mirror, mirror, how do I install?

By Stephan Sardone

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with a small space. I have a simple solution to this big dilemma: reflection.

A closet or a powder room can feel a bit cramped and cluttered with very little elbow room. My advice is to install the right sized mirror when remodeling. It will create an illusion of more room and will accent the room’s design aspects in its reflection, creating a separate work of art as a result.

While you’re picking out the right mirror, think of your needs.

How can this mirror make your life easier? Maybe you require a certain standard of lighting in order to get ready in the morning. Or maybe you shower first thing and your spouse needs the mirror to get ready; what do you do about the fog? Fortunately it’s 2016, so these are hardly problems anymore. Apart from your basic vanity mirrors with bordering lights, there are also illuminated, backlit mirrors that come with LED Photo courtesy of Pinterest dimmable lights, which can be installed cost-effectively.

Each year, Lake Highlands United Methodist Church Choir presents a robust Patriotic Concert that celebrates the 4th of July and honors veterans from each branch of the armed services. This year’s concert will be on Sunday, June 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary of Lake Highlands UMC. This year, the adult choirs, including the sanctuary choir, contemporary worship praise band, and the men’s and women’s choirs, entertain with music from American born James Taylor along with familiar patriotic songs.

This is a community event and everyone is

invited — especially veterans. A moving and memorable part of the evening performance is when veterans are asked to stand as their military branch song is performed.

A night that honors service just keeps on giving with an old-fashioned ice cream social following the performance. The ice cream is provided and served by Feed Lake Highlands (FLH) Board of Directors, Food Distribution and Homework Club members.

Feed Lake Highlands is a neighborhood non-profit formed to Fight Hunger and Feed Hope. In 2012, it developed from LHUMC OffCampus Ministries. Feed Lake Highlands works with limited and low-income

community residents by feeding their physical needs through a food distribution program. They tutor 30 elementary students and work to improve reading skills through the Homework Club. And spiritual needs are met in worship services at the New Room (located at Skillman and Whitehurst).

Guests will have an opportunity to partner in service and make a love offering to support scholarship funding for summer camps for FLH youth.

Lake Highlands United Methodist Church is located at 9015 Plano Road (at McCree). For more information about this year’s Patriotic Concert, go to lhumc.com or feedlakehighlands.com.

candace@candysdirt.com Well here we are, more than half-way through June, and everyone is starting to leave town for their second homes in the Hill Country, Colorado, or Jackson Hole.

Some are east at the beaches of the Florida Gulf coast.

Others are still here sweating it out in Dallas. Clearly the summer is when most agents can finally take a break from writing contracts.

But no, not in Dallas. We have some big, bigger, and biggest houses coming onto the market. Has Andy Beal really listed the Beal/Hicks/ Crespi estate? You will just have to read my blog – and

Anthony Henry had a good career in the NFL, starting out with the Cleveland Browns back in 2001, and joined the Dallas Cowboys 2005 for four seasons as cornerback. There wasn't any drama, no Pro Bowls or championships. Just a nice nine-year career in professional football.

From there, Henry has done a little investing, but also launched a career in the film business as a producer.

Interestingly enough, Henry listed his Hollywood contemporary last April for $2.85 million, according to Neal Leitereg at the Los Angeles Times. This month, David Griffin Realtor Brandon Stewart has listed Henry's

“A Crestron whole‐house automation system controls lights and music via the Crestron app on your smartphone or tablet, Stewart noted.

"Likewise, an acoustically‐ treated media room serves up entertainment via the built-in projector and screen. Don’t miss the powered curtains when it’s showtime!"

Stewart also says that the backyard is perfect for entertaining, with multiple covered seating areas offering great views of the elegant temperature-controlled pool. A mosquito nix system ensures that evenings outdoors by the pool are spent pest‐free, he said.

Sounds like it's time to grab a cocktail and jump in!

Education

Woodrow Foundation awards scholarships

By Risa Renna The Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation awarded eighteen outstanding students from Woodrow Wilson High School with college scholarships from local individuals and organizations May 2016.

A reception was held in the Woodrow Wilson High School library and was attended by students and their families as well as school personnel, donors and Woodrow Foundation board members.

Also in attendance was Burton Gilliam, Woodrow Wilson alumni who appeared in the movie "Blazing Saddles." Gilliam helped present the Wildcat Legends Scholarship honoring founding Principal G.L. "Pop" Ashburn.

Another highlight of the evening was the opportunity to listen to the scholarship recipients speak about their academic goals, their reasons for seeking a college scholarship and the university they plan to attend college in the fall.

Most of the scholarships were for one

year, and ranged from $500 to $2,000. The Jason and Amy Kulas Family Scholarship is a four-year scholarship totaling $10,000.

Altogether, the foundation awarded $30,950 in scholarships for 2016. Each of these students also received a Texas flag, courtesy of Foundation director and Texas State Representative Kenneth Sheets.

The 2016 Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation Scholarships winners are as follows: • Richard H. Vitale Family Scholarship Gabriel Jankovsky • Woodrow Wilson Class of 1942 Scholarship - Kosta Labos • Marca Lee Bircher Vocal/ Music Theater Scholarship - Henry Craft • Woodrow Wilson Class of 1968 Scholarship - Gabriella Hernandez • Woodrow Wilson Class of 1991 Scholarship - Georgie Osgood • Class of 1971 Dennis Roe Memorial Scholarship - Andrew DeRouen • Bob and Mary Jo English Scholarship Chrystal Marshall • Veritex Community Leadership

Miranda, tweeted about it. As did cast member Sydney James Harcourt.

More than a hundred thousand people have seen it on YouTube.

“It’s amazing to be part of the narrative going on right now,” Rob said.

“It has been surprising,” Kristin commented.

“You never know what’s going to happen. Lin [Manuel Miranda] tweeted it. Strangers watch it. I just love that they feel the same way we do — a nice communal experience.”

One interesting side effect, Rob pointed out, is that the film is also being embraced by those who are tired of Hamilton.

“I guess it’s something for the haters as well as the fans,” he laughed.

Rob and Kristin are both in the film along with their daughters Manon and Lily. Manon sings the John Laurens bit from “Aaron Burr, Sir” and Lily performs the Lafayette rap at the end.

“This has been joyous,” Kristin said. “We each put our touch on it. We have never done anything like this before as a family. The whole thing from beginning to end was joyous.”

Independent films are rarely profitable, and Hamilaria is no exception. But, that’s not why the McCollum family wanted to do this.

“As a storyteller, you just want to share the story you want to tell,” Rob explained. “This is a love letter to the show.”

Restaurant Review

BrainDead Brewing working out kinks

By Sara Newberry Back in the mid-90s, a small brewpub on Henderson called Yegua Creek brewed their own beer and served elevated versions of beer-friendly dishes like tacos, cheese boards and burgers. The craft beer boom had just begun and Dallas wasn’t quite ready to leave behind the familiar favorites, so Yegua, and the other microbreweries that popped up around the same time, did not make it.

Fast forward nearly 20 years, when it seems like a new local brewery is opening every week, with every local bar and restaurant on the local beer bandwagon, proudly serving brews from at least one of them. But there still wasn’t a local brewpub that created its own beer and a food menu to go along with said beers.

Enter BrainDead Brewing, the result of collaboration from a brewmaster from Deep Ellum Brewing Co., the restaurateur behind Rodeo Goat and the beer cicerone from The Common Table.

Serving beers brewed in house and a menu created to pair with them, it’s like a flashback to those heady days on Henderson. I visited several times over a year, during which the menu changed quite a bit. Choices range from salads to burgers and sandwiches to upscale entrées, many of them twists on familiar favorites.

The Heavy Metal Drumsticks are sticky, spicy chicken legs coated in a guajillo wing sauce, sprinkled with blue cheese and microgreens. They were just messy enough: I didn’t need wet wipes, but there was enough sauce to give the chicken quite a kick. The menu says they’re served with blue cheese dressing, but ours just had the crumbles (I would have liked a dressing).

Housemade Chicharrones are basically fancy pork rinds.

They are fun but surprisingly filling. The sauces served alongside were fine, but didn’t add much interest. Brussels sprouts were tasty, tossed with a nottoo-sweet maple syrup glaze.

Dried cherries and pecans added texture and contrast.

The Coma Burger is the menu item garnering the most attention, both for its name and for its ingredients. The patty is made from ground brisket and bacon, and it’s topped with clarified butter, onion jam and smoked cheddar. We expected a big, messy burger that would, well, put us into a food coma. It’s a fine burger; it wasn’t as impressive as we thought it would be.

Also a letdown was the Grilled Short Rib and Pimento Cheese Sandwich. I wanted a messy sandwich with golden buttery bread and loaded with tender short ribs and gooey pimento cheese. What I got was a slightly toasted version with next meal at a mere suggestion of short ribs and pimento cheese so heavy

Entrée plates are definitely more impressive, almost to the point where it felt like a different restaurant. Gulf Shrimp Paella was rich and flavorful, with perfectly tender shrimp perched on a bed of golden rice. The rice also held chucks of chicken thigh and chorizo. The serving didn’t seem huge but it was so rich that it was more than enough.

The Berkshire Pork Belly also exceeded my expectations. The pork was tender and flavorful, sided with braised fennel and onion rings. There were also a few surprise stalks of asparagus on my plate.

Service was wildly inconsistent. On a couple of visits, we sat at the table for upwards of 10 minutes before being approached by a server to get a drink order; on another, our server was right there to refill a glass or answer questions.

The kitchen was out of menu items on three of our four visits, and the way we found out every time was by ordering it then having our server come and tell us they were out of it. The other oddity was that the concept of “starters” seems lost on the kitchen.

That’s what they’re called on the menu and that’s how we ordered them, but each time the starters arrived at the table after our entrées.

BrainDead seems to be working out the kinks a little at a time, but hopefully soon they’ll have everything to the level that they can obviously achieve. I’m looking forward to it!

Old-fashioned Fried Chicken

By Dotty Griffith

Dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Cauliflower is the non-starch, faux carb of the moment. Yes, that’s faux carb, not carb, and a key part of the paleo eating style; lean Dotty Griffith protein and vegetables but no potatoes or rice.

The round part, i.e. the head of the vegetable, has become a popular stand-in for dishes that normally carry the gravy or sauce. Coarsely or finely chopped cauliflower disguised as rice or grits takes the spot on the plate normally filled by the other white foods.

Chef Danyele McPherson, executive chef of Remedy and HG Sply Co. on Lower Greenville, whomps up her cauliflower grits with poblano chiles, garlic, white wine and coconut milk for creaminess. The recipe is vegan, gluten and dairy-free, a three-fer on the $ healthful eating scale.

On the menu, The True Grit Bowl includes slices of grilled steak, poblano chile cauliflower grits and sautéed rainbow chard with mushrooms, caramelized onion and herb salad.

HG Sply Co. Poblano Chile-Cauliflower Grits 1/2 cup cashews 3/4 cup water 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup poblano chiles, seeded and finely chopped 1 cup sliced green onions (use the whole onion, white and green parts) 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided use 1/4 cup dry white wine (such as chardonnay) 1 1/4 pounds cauliflower florets, pulsed in a food processor to a fine grain texture, similar to uncooked grits 1 cup full fat, canned coconut milk 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place cashews in a single layer in a skillet or sheet pan and toast in oven until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

When cashews are cool, combine toasted cashews and 3/4 cup water in a blender container. Process until smooth. Do not strain this mixture. Reserve for later use.

In a small saucepan over medium high heat, sauté the poblanos in the olive oil until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir often as you want to soften, not caramelize or brown the chiles. Add the green onion and cook until the white parts have softened, another minute or two. Add 1 tablespoon garlic and cook a minute or until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Add white wine, stirring to combine, and cook 2 to 3 minutes at a low boil to burn off the alcohol. Add pulsed cauliflower florets.

Stir to mix well and add 1 teaspoon salt, coconut milk and cashew-water blend. Cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and the cauliflower looks like the texture of cooked grits. It should not be watery.

If cauliflower grits are too thick, thin with a bit of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and fresh ground black pepper. Blend completely and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately or cool and reheat later.

To reheat cauliflower grits, add water a little at a time so that it can be absorbed into the grits as they heat to serving temperature.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Murphy’s career began in sales with Time, Inc. including stints with Life and Sports Illustrated. Still a basketball fan, Murphy was joyful about the Cleveland Cavaliers 2015-16 NBA Championship win over the Golden State Warriors. “I had moved to Cleveland in 1970,” Murphy said. “I was one of the first Cavaliers season ticket holders!” The San Jose State alum also fondly remembers his college basketball career. “I scored a total of four points. But two were at Berkeley!”

in Cleveland, Murphy moved to Dallas for Harte Hanks to expand their holdings. “Harte Hanks had a couple of hundred newspapers and their quota of radio and TV stations, and they hired me to put them in the magazine business,” Murphy said. “They had bought two magazines, one called Radio and Records and the other called Fashion Showcase. Radio and Records was owned by two brothers: the [Robert and Tom] Kardashian brothers. Those guys reported to me. Isn’t that wild?”

A golf outing with Ray Hunt — who then owned D Magazine — took him to the publishing side of the Dallas monthly and the eventual development of one of Dallas’ premier street festivals. Today, Murphy is working on a novel.

“It is a fictional love story/spy story,” Murphy said. But his novel idea of a basketball tournament in the streets of the West End lives on in Dallas lore.

LITTER cont'd from page 5 Dallas as the Trinity River flows directly into the Gulf of Mexico. And the litter runs rampant along the Trinity and the streets of Dallas. Last year when I walked Greenville Avenue picking up litter for the Trash Bash Music Stash, my efforts were focused on the tiny overlooked cigarette butts. Fifty percent of litter is cigarette butts! The event is happening again this year on July 16 at the Truck Yard. Mark your calendar for a fun community driven day! Volunteers receive a ride on a party bus stocked with drinks, and then walk back to the venue picking up trash and are rewarded with live music, a Trash Bash T-shirt, $5 gift card to Truck Yard and the chance to win raffle prizes all day.

People will walk an average of 12 paces holding a piece of trash before they litter. Make the commitment to take the extra steps to find a trash can to do your part to reduce local pollution and the 1.9 billion tons of litter that ends up in the ocean every year. With every step you take, or every small piece of trash you pick up and throw away or recycle, your actions are influencing others to litter less. A few more people picking up trash instead of dropping it may just influence the litter psychology of our society.

Couple cont'd from page 1 housewife and a mother to three young children, decided to pursue her own dreams of acting. She found an agent and auditioned for the role of Faye Dunaway’s double in Bonnie and Clyde.

“I walked into the room where there were all of these beautiful, young, gorgeous ladies,” Dottie said, “and I thought, I might as well go home. And the director said, ‘Can you come to work on Monday?’”

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but Dottie said, “I just didn’t like it. I was late getting home, the early morning calls. The movie life was not for me.”

But that didn’t keep Dottie from trying new things. She studied journalism at Eastfield Junior College and eventually got a degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Dallas.

The ’60s and ’70s weren’t an easy time for the family. One of the Hicks children fell in with the wrong crowd and developed an addiction problem. But, Dottie said their faith kept them grounded.

“We would not be here, but for the love and mercy of God,” Dottie said.

And, it’s that deep conviction that has kept their marriage strong for so many years.

“We didn’t get along too well for the first 100 years,” George jokes, “But she knows I love God first. So if we disagree, I drop it.”

“It takes me longer to drop it,” Dottie laughs.

Dottie suffered a stroke three years ago.

It hasn’t slowed her down, but George is more aware of time passing.

“We sleep in separate rooms because my snoring wakes her up,” George explains. “One night, Jesus came to me, and as we walked together through the house, we stopped at Dottie’s bedroom, and I told Him, ‘I still need to be here to take care of her.’”
