Campers learn new tricks the old-fashioned way

By Gigi Ekstrom “Eat a Bug and a Biscuit” is the title of just one of the unique and fun-filled summer camps in full swing at Lakehill Preparatory School.

“Our camp teaches the basics of fly fishing, so the fish actually eat the bugs, which are the artificial flies tied to the end of the fishing line,” explained the camp’s lead instructor Ray Dent.

“The kids also learn the basics of cowboy cooking outside in Dutch ovens, so

all the campers get to eat the biscuits.”

Dent, who is also Lakehill’s director of development and alumni relations, taught the week-long camp at Lakehill Preparatory School’s Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Campus. Assisting him with the camp instruction was his son, Travis, vice president at Holmes Murphy in Dallas.

“This was the first time to catch a fish with a fly rod for

Family spreads flavors of Mexico to Texas

By Lucy Higginbotham For someone who “never cooked” it’s a little ironic Leticia Salas helped create Molli — a unique and flavorful line of jarred sauces that capture the flavors of interior Mexico.

Since last year, she and her husband Rodrigo, who does love to cook — decided to take recipes they grew up with in Mexico City and make them available to anyone who wanted fast, easy, quality food.

“I am not a good cook in the creative, throw-something-together-from-scratch sense. I grew up a staunch feminist and thought I would never cook. I burn water!” she said.

“But I can follow a good recipe. We wanted to make something anyone can use and feel good about eating themselves or serving guests.”

The Salas,’ both Mexican natives, are also Lakewood residents since 2007. They started toying with the idea of creating their own line of

“We enjoy tasty meals, but we never went to eat at a Mexican restaurant. We just never found any that we thought were good. So we made it ourselves at home,”

Roderigo said.

Both had busy careers, but when Rodrigo got laid off in 2012, he decided to throw himself into the full-time commitment of developing their dream.

He worked tirelessly to develop recipes, logos, learn the intricacies of bringing a product to market in the food industry and finding a way

YAPPY TALK

Couple win 'lottery' for rescued freeway dog

By Mary Spencer

mary@petopia4paws.com

Happy Birthday, America! Across the entire United States, the annual Fourth of July events make for happy festivities as we celebrate Uncle Sam, Betsy Ross and America — this year marking the Mary Spencer 238th birthday of our nation.

It also only seems appropriate to celebrate the

many wonderful happenings at Dallas Animal Services — including the PetSmart Charities Everyday Adoption Centers’ announcement of breaking the 1,500 mark for adoptions since the opening last Fall. This time last year, these 1,500 plus animals were in need of a forever home; today, in conjunction with our nation’s birthday celebration, they can honor the Fourth of July with their new family.

Since we are on the topic of celebrations, I want to share a recent pet story with a happy ending, adding to the magic of this spectacular

holiday. The story involves a raffle/lottery win, making for an even happier “tail,”

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

YAPPY cont'd from page 1 particular furry German Shepherd’s “tail” to wag (after successfully captured racing along a freeway) and for the young couple from McKinney who threw their hat in the ring for the raffle/lottery ticket and high hopes of “winning” this homeless dog.

Regardless of economic status, most everyone has purchased a lottery ticket at one time or another. I, personally, have even known a few folks who have actually picked the winning numbers and won (although not big enough to allow them to walk away from their jobs and never look back). “Winning the lottery” is a phrase most often associated with great financial rewards — not with having been selected as the owners of a 10-year-old Shepherd in need of food, friends and family.

The story began a week ago Wednesday when a large German Shepherd was reported running loose during rush hour traffic on I-35 at the Illinois exit. Quickly and heroically, the police department arrived, positioning their squad cars in a manner to box the dog in for Dallas Animal Services, who arrived with essential equipment, and most important, calm coaching from DAS officer Eric Pogue, who slowly convinced the frightened dog to trust him and be guided into the van.

Dallas Animal Services nicknamed the regal animal “Polk” from the street he was closest to upon rescue.

Appearing happy to get to the safety of the shelter (along with some chicken treats and lots of hugs), Polk was a sweet and loving older dog — unneutered, unchipped and unclaimed; sitting alone at DAS for the required three day stray-hold. As other dogs

Let’s go fly a … drone?

around him barked consistently and loudly, this docile purebred Shepherd waited quietly and patiently — hoping his owner would show up and take him home.

During the next few days, no owner called about Polk, but many calls from new families inquired about adopting him. Thus, the decision of Dallas Animal Services was to hold a raffle (or lottery as we deemed) to narrow down the potential new home for this lost, loving soul. This past Sunday, after DAS announced the lottery would occur, four concerned and hopeful pet parents showed up, two arriving all the way from McKinney and Canton, Texas. Thus, there was a happy ending to what could have been a sad story with a horrific ending. It’s easy to imagine Polk’s outcome had DPD and DAS not responded and reacted so quickly to save his life.

And now, Polk (or Elvis as he seemed to respond to) will live in a beautiful home in McKinney with his new pet parents, Jennifer Cuarda and Isaac Elizondo (pictured on page 1 and above). As a dogless young couple with

DESTINATION : COMPETITIVE EDGE

a large yard and lots of love, both Jennifer and Isaac fell for Polk immediately upon hearing his story and seeing his picture on the news, feeling he was finally the dog for them. In fact, while at the shelter, Isaac and Jennifer found a friend for Polk, another German shepherd who will hopefully be joining their home as a new sister. The two dogs were introduced during Polk’s adoption process and, to everyone’s excitement, both were quite enamored with each other, creating more lottery winners than anyone imagined.

Another happy Fourth of July story involves my own foster Butler, who you may remember as one of the Parkdale pups — having been dumped, thus living in a Pleasant Grove park for almost a year, surviving on food scraps and neighbors’ care, battling the icy winter temperatures and torrential downpours throughout the year. After arriving at Dallas Animal Services, both pups waited for more than a month, until Jett (now known as Boudreaux) was adopted, leaving his brother alone in his shelter kennel, remaining hopeful for a home of his own.

Butler, a name I chose due to his white bib and socks (along with his determination to please and make everyone happy) arrived at my house as a foster in late March and exceeded all expectations as one the most loving, smartest and happiest dogs I have ever

shared my home and family with.

Both Boudreaux and Butler had to undergo heartworm treatment. However, much as I expected, both pups never missed a beat and endured each painful shot and treatment with a smile on their faces and a wag of their tails. It was as if each one knew they had landed in the best homes ever, and every day each dog continued to express thanks and love.

Last week, Butler visited a dear friend of mine and her husband to see if he might be the perfect fit for their home, which had been dogless for too long and was ready for furry tail wags and kisses from a slobbery tongue. It took only a few moments for Butler (now known as Baxter) to fall in love with Joan and Charlie Smith, realizing he had found the best pet parents ever. Charlie, now retired, committed to several walks a day with Baxter, while his lovely wife Joan, promised daily hugs, pats and tummy scratches for this loyal little dog, much like Polk and Boudreaux, all traveling so far to find their forever home and the love they deserve.

Happy Birthday to our Great Nation! And Happy “New Homes and Love” to Polk, Boudreaux, Baxter and all the other great pets who arrived at their forever homes this last year — ready and eager to wave a big pork-chop and toast America and the people/pet lovers who make it truly a wonderful world!

I do hope everyone in the world has wonderful memories of lying in the grass, looking up to the sky, and watching the clouds go by.

“That’s an elephant,” someone with you would shout out. “No, it’s a kangaroo!” anNancy Black other friend would declare. Then you’d all jump up to go catch the early evening fireflies and/or June Bugs flying into the porch light.

I was having one of those lovely life moments this past Saturday with my family when we “traveled out of town” to experience the Market Place Allen Celebration. It is an annual Fourth of July event in the city traditionally held one week before Independence Day. It’s not often I am willing to submit myself to massive crowds. Call me claustrophobic or just plain afraid of being caught in another horrible traffic jam like several I experienced during the 80s and 90s: the Rodney King trial aftermath; the LA riots and beatings that followed; the O.J. Simpson murders; trial and verdict; the mudslides and fires in Malibu and; let’s not forget, the earthquakes everywhere.

Suffice it to say, I do not ever want to be stuck anywhere ever again.

But I decided to give it up to fun and to my children.

They are some pretty cool young humans, if I do say so myself. In this day of high speed Internet, smartphones and having no idea what an old fashioned Encyclopedia Britannica looks like, they are still pretty grounded. I hope.

And I am crossing my fingers.

After taking a school bus with hundreds of other people from the impressively huge Allen High School, walking about 200 yards and then spreading out our blanket on the massive lawn of Celebration Park, I was ready to watch the clouds.

My children quickly left

our group to get closer to the stage because “Pentatonix was playing live in 30 minutes!”

They are an amazing a cappella singing group who are YouTube stars AND are from Arlington, Texas.

“Do not lose sight of each other!” I implored. Mommy is going to kick back now and watch the clouds go by.

They were so beautiful.

Some were stationary and others were moving quickly to the left. They made amazing shapes. But one object in the sky looked out of place.

“What is that?” I asked my sister-in-law. “A kite?”

After about five seconds into finally relaxing into this blustery, crowded evening and actually enjoying looking up at the pristine blue sky and clouds, I realized there was a drone over us. Yes, an actual drone. A flying robot.

It was creepy!

The police presence was very evident at the event already. Our bags had been searched and tagged; there were police towers scattered throughout the grounds and uniformed officers walking around in the crowds. But now they have a drone hovering over us? My mind immediately went to my memories of reading George Orwell’s “1984” back in 1974 and being afraid of “the government” watching our every move. But what if it wasn’t the government controlling this remote controlled aircraft? That thought was even creepier to consider.

We all know from watching TV that there are cameras everywhere these days.

A person can hardly move through two city blocks without being captured on at least four different video surveillance systems.

I understand the security and safety aspects of having cameras all around us. But I am wondering how far this drone use is going to go. If companies like Amazon start delivering our packages via drones, where will the drone use stop? Or will it?

My fear is, instead of kicking back in the grass watching the clouds float by, my children will instead have memories of lying on a picnic blanket watching the drones fly by.

It’s a crime that there is still no 'Crime Watch'

“Crime Watch,” the popular feature found in White Rock Lake Weekly, remains on hiatus as the Dallas Police Department continues to upgrade the city’s crime records system. Crime records ceased being loaded onto the records system June 1. Initially, DPD reported the upgrade would be completed by the end of June. Now DPD is stating that the switch is taking longer as they test a filter designed to

remove any information that is not part of open records policies. The Dallas police’s public records unit will still provide public access to police reports in person until they once again become available online. — David Mullen

MULL IT OVER

What is … the look of a ‘Sports Jeopardy!’ loser?

By David Mullen It was like running to the mailbox back in the 1960s to see if your toy soldiers or sea monkeys arrived after ordering them from a “Batman” or “Flash” or “Archie” or “Richie Rich” comic book. Even if today’s mailbox is an email box, at 4:28 p.m. June 5, it arrived.

“Congratulations!” the memo said. “We are happy to confirm an appointment for an audition for ‘Sports Jeopardy!’ To qualify for the show you must take a written 30-question test. If you pass the test, you will be asked to stay and complete the audition process. This follow-up audition will include participating in a mock version of the game and a brief interview. You will then be put in our files to be considered for the upcoming season of ‘Sports Jeopardy!’ There is no charge for taking the test, but you will be responsible for all expenses, such as parking and travel to and from the testing center. Similarly if you are invited to Los Angeles to appear as a contestant on the show, you will be responsible for all travel expenses.”

Oh, boy! I get to try out for “Sports Jeopardy!” with Dan Patrick, my favorite sports interviewer. What will I wear? I’ve got to go with a suit and tie. Where will I eat in LA? Will I have enough time to hang out at Barney’s Beanery on Santa Monica Boulevard or have Manny make me a martini at Musso and Frank’s in Hollywood?

Getting a bit ahead of myself, I had to pass the test held at 9 a.m. Sunday at the Sheraton Dallas. Assuming you aren’t going to church,

When one door closes (The Pearl Cup last December), another opens as Austinborn Houndstooth Coffee begins serving on the corner of Henderson and McMillan.

According to owner, Sean Henry: “We’re really excited about hosting the people of Dallas. We like to introduce our customers to the coffee experience, and change expectations about what coffee can be.” The shop will feature at least two espresso options and three brewed-by-the-cup coffees each day, including selections from Henry’s own recently launched business, Tweed Coffee Roasters. There will be both indoor and outdoor patio seating when the aroma begins wafting sometime in August.

Dan Patrick will play the role of Alex Trebek on "Sports Jeopardy!" have you ever been in downtown Dallas at 9 a.m. on a Sunday? It’s as quiet as a church mouse.

Fearing tardiness, I got there about one-half-hour early like everyone else.

Outside of the second floor ballroom were a group of 100 people — 98 men and two women — that had all been randomly selected, like me, for the quiz. The hallway looked like a before picture at Dr. Kim’s vertical gastrectomy office that Nate Newton advertises. I kept thinking that these are probably the guys that sign up for an online dating service. One guy had a tie on and short sleeved dress shirt. That look always works well … in Buffalo. It was easy to pick me out; I was the one without the pocket protector.

No one talked. The tension was amazing. Everyone looked at their cell phones or perused a sports almanac. No chit-chat at all.

About five minutes before the test was supposed to begin, the chatty, overly happy producer comes walking in. No Dan Patrick.

Wearing a Los Angeles Lakers T-shirt, which doesn’t really enamor Dallas fans, she tried to get everyone fired up like we were auditioning for “The Price is Right.” Well, she was wrong. No firing up this group of sports nerds sentenced to the Sheraton Dallas facility on a Sunday morning.

No coffee. No snacks.

No claiming our entrance memo that we were required to bring. We were just herded into the generic ballroom, and informed that “Sports Jeopardy!” is slated for broadcast online on crackle.com.

Not even syndicated television. That announcement was the beginning of many letdowns.

We were seated in alternate chairs so there would be no cheating. We were given a sheet of paper with 30 lines for answers, a piece of cardboard for backing and a pen with the “Jeopardy!” logo on it. We did not have to answer in the form of a question, and had eight seconds to answer each question and had to swear that we would not tell

Recipe of the Week Two-Bite Cherry Pies

I love a full-size pie, but these mini versions are really fun for a group or to pack in a lunch. In a pinch, they can be made with canned pie filling.

2 tablespoons butter 1 pound cherries, pitted 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon orange marmalade (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 package pie crusts (2 crusts) 1 egg Salt Turbinado sugar (optional) In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the cherries, sugar and marmalade, if using. Cook, stirring, until the cherries begin to release their juices, about five minutes.

Remove about two tablespoons of the liquid from the pan and mix with the cornstarch. Add back to the pan and stir until thickened. Season with salt and set aside to cool.

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Beat the egg until mixed.

Line a baking pan with parchment.

Unroll one pie crust and roll it out a little further to increase the circle by about two inches all the way around.

Using a three-inch round cutter, cut circles from the dough. Brush each circle lightly with egg. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of filling onto the center of each circle, then fold them in half, pressing the edges with the tines of a fork to seal. Poke each one with the fork to vent. Brush them with egg, then sprinkle with sugar, if using. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes.

MOLLI cont'd from page 1 to convert recipes for eight people into a vat that makes cases of sauces (without preservatives!)

His previous experience in Mexico working with Nestle and Herdez helped inform Molli’s progression, but finding a place to prepare and package their product was one of several big challenges.

Roderigo finally found a commercial kitchen to rent in Fort Worth and divides his time between cooking over there and promoting over here.

“It wasn’t really the way we thought it’d happen. We thought I’d quit my job as vice president of product management at Concentra and do Molli full-time. But then he got laid off, so I kept working. Now I’m the annoying wife who has all the opinions but isn’t in there creating anything!” she laughed.

They drew inspiration from old cookbooks, family recipes and suggestions from friends and relatives.

They began selling their three sauces and two marinades at the White Rock Local Market in January 2013.

Their following grew and,

27. Red Cloud's tribe 28. Footnote abbr. (2 wds.)

29. "The Sheik" 31. Titled Turks 33. Ancestry

like a country music wannabe in Nashville, they “got discovered” by Central Market when one of the store’s managers shopped at the market and tried their products.

Just nine months after the debut, Molli’s three sauces and two marinades now sit on Central Market shelves on the Mexican food aisle, another example of a product by locals sold locally. To clarify for we gringos who don’t know the difference; Tex-Mex is the style of food we most often think of when someone says, “Let’s go eat Mexican food.”

But in this case, “Mexican food” refers to the signature flavors and dishes found in various parts of Mexico, such as Acapulco, Oaxaca and Veracruz. There are distinct flavor differences between Tex-Mex and Mexican, and those distinctions are what the Molli line celebrates. Molli — not to be confused with mole, a sauce that has more than a hundred variations in Mexico — is the Aztec word for “concoction.”

Molli is pronounced with a soft “y” sound similar to “tortilla.” But mole, the sauce, is pronounced moh-lay.

Now that we’ve settled the grammar — back to the

35. New drivers, mostly 36. "Crocodile Rock" composer 37. Spoof (hyph.)

story. But, hey, names matter.

In fact, it is the very meaning of the product’s name that communicates what they’d like you to do with it — make your own concoction.

“We had close to 90 of our friends, neighbors and co-workers try our sauces in their own way and help us refine and evaluate our line.

They came up with some weird combinations!” Leticia said. But three things everyone agreed on: the sauces were easy to use, tasted great and had no equal on the grocery store shelves.

“We loved their versatility, too,” said Daryl Risinger, senior vice president for product development and management at Concentra and one of Leticia’s co-workers.

“We had a bunch of family here for Father’s Day and used the sauces three different ways and it never tasted repetitive,” he said.

The sauces have even turned non-cooks into enthusiastic fans.

Another of Leticia’s coworkers, Jeff Enderman, is senior manager of sales analysis and reporting. He is also a single guy who does not cook … until now.

Your Stars this Week

by Stella Wilder

The coming week will see many individuals succumbing to a feeling of being overbooked, overtaxed, overwhelmed or overworked.

Indeed, in recent weeks, a great deal has been required, and there has been no let-up at all for some. This is a good week, then, to throttle back a bit – but not for everyone!

There are a few for whom there is likely to be no respite at all from the kinds of responsibilities, tasks, endeavors and projects that have been most demanding in recent weeks or even months. For the most part, however, only the most willing or able to weather another straight week of hard work will have to experience it – for the rest, it may not be required.

Everyone should pay close attention to what their bodies and minds are telling them as the week progresses; even the most minute signals could be warnings of something big in the making – be it an illness, an emotional trauma, a psychological hardship or the like. That which springs from within certainly warrants attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) You're going to have to pay up at some point, but what you must pay for is something you will have to figure out, and it may take time. (July 8-July 22) – Your position within social circles may be advanced, but

not because of anything you do yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may have to give yourself a stern talking-to at some point in order to get back on track and do what must be done.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Someone who has only recently departed for a distant shore is likely to be on your mind throughout much of the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You and a friend may find yourselves working on opposite sides of an important issue, but in the end, you'll come together. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You must be willing to explore the dark side a bit more deeply than usual in order to enjoy the light later on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) The work you have done is very high quality, but you may want to make a few revisions for personal reasons. "Good enough" isn't good enough! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You'll be able to see a friend through a difficult time as emotions run high and tempers flare.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may not be able to get out and about as much as you had hoped, but what you are able to accomplish matters to many.

(Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Talk openly

about your tastes and preferences, and you'll see you have much in common with one on the other side of the fence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You're more in the mood to observe than to take part, but you'll likely be required to do both in their turn. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – It's a good week to get more acquainted with your own evolving likes and dislikes.

Someone close to you has a plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You may want the advice of someone who is much closer to a certain situation than you are – but extracting it from him or her may take some effort. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – What comes of a certain chance encounter will depend in large part upon your willingness to take the bull by the horns.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may have to scour your own records in order to provide another with the information he or she needs at this tricky time. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Others may be impressed with what you have created, but you're not so sure it's the best you can do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Others are likely to gravitate toward you simply because

DSM celebrates 75 years on Dallas’ Great White Way

By Shari Goldstein Stern

Overture As “Opera under the Stars,” “Starlight Operettas,” “Fair Park Casino Operettas,” “State Fair Musicals,” “Musicals at Fair Park” or today’s Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) you can count on it being Dallas’ own Broadway theater in the core of the city, Fair Park. This year DSM kicked off its 75th anniversary on June 12 with its 2014-2015 season announcement. At the event, DSM’s chairman of the board, Richard L. Rogers introduced the new chair elect, Dorsey Baskin.

The anniversary celebration will last through June 12, 2015 commemorating 75 years since the theater’s first opening night, June 12, 1941. The production that night was Sigmund Romberg’s “Blossom Time,” a show based on the life of Franz Schubert, which premiered on Broadway in 1921 and had revivals through 1943.

State Fair Auditorium is now Music Hall at Fair Park.

Act One In 1945, The State Fair Association tapped Meeker as executive director of the Starlight Operettas. Meeker was mentor to two young men in the 1950s, Tom Hughes and Michael Jenkins, who would ultimately succeed him years later.

The man was a visionary, whose

name Dallas will never forget. Under his leadership, Dallas and tourist audiences had their first opportunity to enjoy Broadway musicals deep in the heart of Texas.

In 1951, the musicals moved from the Fair Park Band Shell into the “State Fair Music Hall,” circa

1925. They became known as the State Fair Musicals, but not until after the legendary incident when a bug flew down Nanette Fabray’s dress at the outdoor venue. In 1963, the name was changed to Dallas Summer Musicals, which remains on Dallas’ “Great White Way” today.

Act Two When Meeker resigned from DSM in 1961 to produce shows at the new Six Flags over Texas, he took a young usher and assistant named Michael Jenkins with him. More on that usher later.

Tom Hughes, who was the Music Hall’s House Manager then took over management of the theater in 1961. Hughes followed in some giant footsteps, but he also left a distinct legacy behind. During his tenure, he became nationally recognized as one of the most astute and successful producers of musical theatre in the country. Meanwhile, in Dallas he was branded as an elegant but approachable and likeable gentleman. He left patrons feeling ownership and pride in the summer musicals.

Fair Park Band Shell

Prologue First of all, you should know that since that first curtain in 1941, the organization has only had three leaders managing the operation, which is almost unheard of in the volatile industry of live theater. The triumvirate of Charles R. Meeker, Tom Hughes and Michael A. Jenkins have guided the organization for 75 years.

A group of Dallas businesses, along with the Schubert organization in New York City produced touring theatrical productions and co-produced the first season in the Fair Park Band Shell. Ten shows, each running a week were planned for the season, which was so successful that two additional shows were added.

The Band Shell had been built for the Texas Centennial Exhibition in 1936. The concrete structure seats 5,000. It was used for a scene in the 1962 film, “State Fair”

Act Three starring Ann Margaret, Bobby Darin and Pat Boone and directed by José Ferrer, who would appear onstage years later. Jim Lowe was Big Tex’s voice in the film, and an unknown named Meat Loaf was an extra.

The 1942 season was cancelled due to the onset of World War II, but the summer theater resumed operation in 1943, when the founders established a nonprofit organization to produce the season under the name Starlight Operettas. A series of 10 shows were presented that year and another 10 in 1944.

Hold on to your stubs while you wrap your brain around this — ticket prices ranged from $0.30 to $1.10. Yes, the zeroes and decimal points are in the right place.

Although a third of the outdoor Band Shell performances were rained out, the season ended with a profit.

When called on in December, 1994 to try filling the shoes of the late Tom Hughes, Michael Jenkins faced challenges on every front. But he recalls, “I just loved the summer musicals. The musicals gave me one of my first jobs and for Charlie Meeker and Tom as well, I just could not let it expire.”

Jenkins added, “Charlie was a great showman. I don’t know if he’s been given the acknowledgement he deserves. He was a great mentor to both Tom and me.”

Musical Numbers Among Meeker’s first contributions was persuading Fort Worth native, Mary Martin to open her national tour of “Annie Get Your Gun” in Dallas. A record-setting 105,000 people saw the show in two weeks.

This is a remarkable piece of DSM’s history: Meeker brought “Porgy and Bess,” starring Leontyne Price and William Warfield to the Musicals in 1952, a time it may have been risky to stage a show with an all-black cast at a mainstream theatre in the South. Meeker’s gamble paid off, as the production was a hit. After its premiere in Dallas, Gershwin’s famous show went on to a worldwide tour.

Meeker had a knack for bringing big name stars to the Music Hall stage, like Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds, Maurice Chevalier, Gisele MacKenzie and José Ferrer. He invited top choreographers and major musical directors, like Franz Allers,

Credits who would later conduct “My Fair Lady” on Broadway. Meeker produced national tours, including “Fiddler on the Roof,” starring Herschel Bernardi; “Peter Pan,” starring Sandy Duncan; and “Hello, Dolly!” starring Carol Channing.

“The Jack Benny Revue” in 1954 launched a long series of “personality” shows, which featured stars such as Shirley MacLaine, Yul Brynner, Diana Ross and Tony Curtis. Some enchanted evenings the Music Hall welcomed Mitzi Gaynor and Jerry Lewis.

Ben Vereen was a singular sensation every time he appeared at DSM, as was Santa Baby’s Eartha Kitt. Dallas audiences have had a love affair to remember with Fort Worth’s Tommy Tune, while he’s tapped his way into their hearts many times over the years.

It wasn’t unusual to see a lineup in a typical summer season with names like Carol Burnett, Tom Poston and Juliette Prowse.

Craig Holcomb, former City Councilman and president of Friends of Fair Park said, “The Dallas Summer Musicals is as important to Fair Park as the State Fair, both significant Dallas traditions. The Musicals have succeeded because they work hard at understanding their audience.”

“Certainly it is hard when new venues come on the scene, because everyone wants to see the new kid in town, but Michael and the Musicals have persevered and will continue their tradition of family oriented quality Broadway shows,” Holcomb said.

According to Holcomb, “Michael Jenkins’ first job as a teenager was painting numbers on the seats in the Cotton Bowl.

His personal commitment to Fair Park has never wavered.”

Encore Judy Garland

Intermission According to DSM Guild President Steven Beene, the Guild, which was formed in the early 1970s, has about 200 members. In addition to other volunteer activities like Curtain Call and the High School Musical Theater awards program, one of the Guild’s most significant projects is serving lunch to cast members on the weekends between matinees and evening performances. Food for the buffets is contributed by generous area restaurants. Beene said, “The Guild serves about 24 cast buffets each season. Including casts and crews, DSM security, ushers and other staff, that amounts to about 3,600 meals each season.”

Ensemble According to the president and managing director of Dallas Summer Musicals, “Service isn’t everything — Service is the only thing.” Toward the end, Jenkins is the first to credit his staff and crew with making DSM what it is. Here are a few department heads and other staff who have spent most or all of their careers with DSM. One of those is Ben Perrin, general manager and director of facility services, who just celebrated his 30th anniversary with DSM. His colossal responsibility is keeping everything in the 75,300 sq. ft. building, with a 3,420 seating capacity running smoothly, and he does it with grace and elegance.

During his tenure, he has dealt with many crises, as would be expected. One of his most heroic feats

Shirley MacLaine and Tom Hughes. was when he donned his wet suit (along with Jenkins) to rescue cars floating down the river that was once the parking lot during one of the city’s worst rainstorms.

Some others with long tenure are Jenny Cagle, executive secretary, 19 years; Debbie (Debra) Irvin, director of ticket services, 22 years; and Stephen Hotz, senior manager of ticket systems, 20 years.

Paulette Hopkins, director of marketing for 19 years makes sure everyone knows about and loves DSM. Jo Ann Holt, Jenkins’ first new hire in 1994 has kept the media happy for 20 years.

Sharon Adams, also responsible for community relations and DSM

Awareness is part of the team making sure seats are filled by happy patrons. Adams also sees to it that DSM events go off without a hitch, even through major thunderstorms. Adams is always prepared with a Plan B. Jayne Basse, accounting, 18 years; Ben Liles, director of finance and administration (who sees that Michael Jenkins doesn’t spend too much). Kate Finley and Mark Chambless in development go after grants and generous contributors.

Kevin Cook, Denis Kashoid and Ty Lawrence run the DSM Academy of Performing Arts, which gives aspiring singers, dancers and actors the opportunity to

train during summers, while out of school.

Applause for Haley Harrington, DSM’s marketing and customer service associate, for her diligent research assistance in telling DSM’s history.

Tracy Jordan is executive director of the DSM High School Musical Theatre Awards and has been with DSM for six years. Since the program’s first year in 2011, the number of participating schools has grown from 30 to 56. The first best actor recipient, Michael Williams auditions and works in NYC since competing there in the National High School Musical Theater Awards.

The 2013-2014 season will wrap up with the Tony Award winning new musical, “Nice Work If You Can Get It” September 2-14, 2014.

With a Gershwin score that includes, “But Not for Me,” “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” “I’ve Got a Crush on You ” and “Someone to Watch over Me,” who can resist?

Jenkins said: “We will kick off the 2015 season with a hilarious musical straight from Broadway, ‘A Christmas Story’ in December of 2014. Three of our 2015 shows are still playing on Broadway, and one has never been seen outside of Australia.”

He announced that the upcoming season will include, “Kinky Boots,” February 24March 8, 2015; “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I,” March 20-April 5, 2015; “The Illusionists,” April 7-19, 2015; “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” June 9-21, 2015; “Dirty Dancing,” June 23-July 5, 2015; and “Pippin,” July 7-19, 2015.

Scenic Design DSM’s history wouldn’t be as colorful without acknowledging the late Broadway designer, Peter Wolf, whose remarkable costume and set designs, graced the Music Hall stage, beginning in 1947 for 100 productions during 35 seasons with the Dallas Summer Musicals. A nationally recognized designer, Peter Wolf Concepts in Dallas also fashioned 50 operas including the Dallas Civic Opera, and then later the Dallas Opera.

Mr. Wolf’s final design was for a show in the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.

'Earth to Eco' not worth orbiting around Earth to scriptwriter, earth to scriptwriter, this is ground control: you have to have a well-developed script before you can commence traveling through cinematic space! Do you copy?

“Earth to Echo” begins with three friends, Alex (Teo Halm), Tuck Dr. Cedric (Astro), and Wood Munch (Reese Hartiwig) whose cell phones have “vomited” strange encrypted messages onto their screens. They’re disturbed because their neighborhood had been condemned, so the families have been commanded to sell their homes and move.

The boys go on a frenetic, nonsensical bike ride in order to follow the “map” on their phones. The way they interact is so contrived it’s unbelievable. The “map” leads them to a piece of junk, which slowly becomes something alive that can talk to them in binary code.

Then it morphs into a little robot-like alien that begins to use telekinesis to levitate the metal parts it

needs to build itself back. The way it pulls the metal that it needs out of the environment is truly amazing.

For the next hour the boys ride their bikes madly, and all the while Tuck is shooting the footage that will eventually be used to make this movie.

Then Echo picks a girl’s home into which to lead the boys and Emma (Ella Wahlested) in their adventure to round out their team to four. The camera work throughout is shaky to increase excitement but, instead, it distracts badly from the story.

The boys decide to name the creature “Echo” because of how it echoes their sounds.

Cute though Echo may be, “Earth to Echo” is discontinuous, disconnected, confusing, flaccid, vapid, scattered and disingenuous.

The dialogue in “Echo” is more fitting for cocky 20-somethings, but coming out of the mouths of younger teens, it’s just annoying, e.g., “I left you behind once before.

I’m not going to leave you behind again.”

Was the original “Echo” of mythological lore the inspiration for this movie?

At mid-summer, there are still many weeks of good boating weather ahead.

Bring the family to Dallas Market Hall, 2200 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, 75207. Parking for the DFW Summer Boat Expo is free.

Tickets for the show are only available at the door.

The United Boat Dealers of North Texas produces boat shows to support the boating and marine industry in the greater North Texas area; to bring together people with a common interest in boating; to promote, further and to encourage boating through education and outreach programs.For more information about the DFW Boat Expo, go to dallasboatexpo.com.

anyone what the questions are after we were done.

Topics included all spectrums of sports including surfing. No WNBA, thank goodness. The first question was a lay-up. It was about my favorite football team. Then it got progressively more difficult.

In the end, about 15 people moved on. Answers were never revealed, so I have no idea how I faired, but alas, I lost on “Jeopardy!”

No trip to LA. No meeting Dan Patrick. No martini with Manny. I was relegated to a long walk of shame through the Sheraton parking lot, where I was nicked for $10 to get out. At least I got to keep the pen.

Echo is a tiny nymph who pines away for the love of Narcissus until nothing is left but her voice. Whatever it was, the writer needed more inspiration.

“Echo” is “Close Encounters of a Third Kind,” “Stand by Me,” “Blair Witch Project,” “Super-8” and “E.T.” all wrapped into one. If only “Echo” had some of these movies’ good qualities.

With all this manic action helping this cute little guy get home to his star in the heavens, there will be many viewers who will mistake action as entertainment.

The plot is underdeveloped and the action is overly erratic, but don’t let this stop you from seeing this frenetic family movie.

Not a Good Movie.

Rated PG for some action and peril, and mild language.

“22 Jump Street” is fairly standard fare tapping into the current wave of movies,

which are silly, sometimes funny, buddy movies. This comedy team of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill is like a modern day Laurel and Hardy.

“22” is full of unnecessary sex, f-bombs and drug use. Ice Cube lets his angriest and most controlling side hang out. The Lucas brothers (Keith and Kenny Yang) are twins who are funny, but their characters present a not-so-healthy model of being whacked-out drug users.

Admittedly, Jonah Hill brings his fetching brand of humor back for another round after the success of “21 Jump Street.”

Channing Tatum is as hunky as ever, and I’m sure the ladies will appreciate that.

See “22 Jump Street” if you must.

A Silly Movie.

Rated R for language throughout, sexual content, drug material, brief nudity and some violence.
