OLYMPIC GAMES
Texas athlete fights way to Rio for shot at gold By Courtney Collins, KERA News A North Texas college student has traveled to four different continents to compete at the highest level of taekwondo. Jackie Galloway hopes have led her to one place: the Olympics. In 90 seconds, Jackie Galloway fires off 25 roundhouse kicks that could easily shatter wood, glass, plaster or a dinner plate. Lucky for us, she’s aiming for a training bag. Jackie’s roundhouse is lethal. But this lefty has an even sharper weapon in her arsenal. “A cut kick, which is kind of like a pushing motion, like a jab kind of for boxing, is one of my strengths,” Jackie
said. “So I’m definitely a lefty in front.” A quick cut kick helps Jackie control a sparring match, which is exactly what she wants. She explained how points are awarded at this level of taekwondo competition. “Body kicks are one point and face kicks are three points. But then if you do a spinning move to the body, it’s three points as well or a spinning move to the face is four points,” she said. Not a sport for the faint of heart. Taekowndo originated in Korea but it has only been an Olympic sport since 2000. The intensity of a fight is part of the reason Jackie loves

IN MEMORIAM
Special Tribute: Downs leaves legacy of laughter, love By Shari Goldstein Stern When Robert (Bob) John Downs, Jr. passed away July 24, 2016, Dallas lost a loving family man, an astute businessman and a community-minded, enthusiastic civic leader. The city also lost a high-spirited comic who loved making people around him laugh. His family and friends celebrate his colorful, humor-filled, entertaining and theatrical life. Jarmon, Downs’ son, talked about his dad’s greatest attributes. “[Dad] laid the foundation for us to recognize love in our spouse, and to honor them and adore them like [he] did.” He added: “I will miss his wit the most. He was a showman, a comedian and one that you always wanted to be around. Dad loved to laugh and make others laugh.” Stan Graner was a fellow thespian friend of Downs. The two performed in “Bye Bye Birdie” at what is now Irving’s Mainstage Theatre. Graner said about his old buddy, “I remember Bob being
very funny, nailing all his comedic scenes with blustery perfection.” It’s apparent that the jovial Downs was someone who enjoyed instigating laughter at every opportunity. Given society’s constant struggles and mourning, his laughter always was a welcome relief. His daughter, Cathy said that her dad’s greatest attributes were, “An exactitude with language; a drive for, not just any excellence, but perfection. As a child, I had that example before me, and now I will always have the gift of something to strive for. With that love of language and storytelling, I became an English professor.” She added that she will miss her regular visits to Dallas, which would often include attending a play together. “[I’ll miss] having enormous family gatherings in which Dad would have chosen to cook, not one, but six dishes with recipes five pages long each, that he had never tried before. He would come

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Re: Flea Phobia Last week, our editor-in-chief asked readers for their best flea remedies for pets. Thank you for the many responses — here are a few we'd like to share: I read your article this weekend and I may have a solution for you. There is a product called Wondercide (wondercide.com). They have all natural products for pets, people and property. They were on Shark Tank. I have purchased the product and it seems to work great. I’m allergic to all pesticides and sprays that I have used for insects in and around the home, (they make my lungs hurt, and no, I don’t have any lung illness). Look them up on their website and I think you will be impressed. If you order, would you mention my name that I purchased from them. I think I might get $5 dollars off my next purchase. Hope this will help! — Sherron Plummer ••• Fleas grow in four stages and few products deal with all stages. We had it so bad I removed all rugs and coated with diatomaceous earth to dry them out — let sit in garage for four days then vacuumed and blowed with yard blower — coated carpet daily for 10 days with a natural homemade product — then I was told to remove all plants or other breeding areas — that worked as breeding places removed. — Richard L. Vandervoet
••• Our story ... we won the flea battle (for now.) Consistently vacuum every day (areas with pets two times per day) for about a week. All walking surfaces — carpet, tile, wood, vinyl, etc. All rooms. Don’t forget bathrooms, laundry! Upright vacuum with rotating brush seems best. Heat and vibration cause fleas to jump and be sucked up. Canister fine, too. No matter the time-of-day. They will die in vacuum bag on their own (no food source). No need to add insecticide — you could if want. Vacuum wearing white calf-length socks. Easy to see the critters. Wash pet bedding daily, or trade to unused bedding. Dry really dry — heat kills eggs. — Ron Sekerak ••• Here is something that works wonderfully! Seresto flea collar good for eight months. You can buy small or large. It comes in one for dogs and one for cats. It costs $60 to $70 dollars. Not much when you factor in how much you spend on dips, chemicals or flea bombs ... etc. Good Luck! I attached a link to the website. — Sue London
petbasics.com/cat-products/ seresto-for-cats/?pref=cat ••• Hi Nancy — WRLW is the only physical paper that we regularly read. Thank you for keeping us informed and entertained! Hopefully, I can return the favor with some ideas on how to attack your flea problem. It took about nine months, but we successfully addressed our problem after renovating a 50-year-old house in Lochwood six years ago. Our house is completely canopied in the shade of several beautiful trees, but shade is where fleas thrive. The raccoons and possums brought them in the yard and our dog carried the little demons into the house, where the cats picked them up. And occasionally our ankles. We did not find a magic bullet, but took several steps, which might help. Outside. Landscape maintenance: Thinned out trees and landscaping to allow as much sunlight as possible to the ground. Blocked every possible ground entrance of creek critters. Diatomaceous Earth. In areas of heavy shade and along the critter paths, I treated with DE on a monthly basis. It’s 100 percent safe and non-toxic. (I actually eat it on occasion!)
William "Bubba" Flint - Special Contributor
However, the weakness of DE is water. A couple of rounds of sprinkler or a heavy rain and its time to redo. I applied under our house and decks once, which not only stopped them but any beetle, roach or exoskeleton insect. I reapply once a year. In areas where water could not be avoided, I had to resort to chemical warfare. I hated to, but there was no other choice. This is the only product that worked for us: amazon.com/ Conquer-Liquid-Insecticide1Pint-Spray/dp/B003EAXS9I. I use this once a year and one bottle will last for years. Pets. Dog gets Triflexis once a month. Drops never worked for her.
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Cats get Advantage II drops once a month. I dusted both with DE one time, which is what all my horse owner friends from Flower Mound swear by. But, I did not like to leave it in because it made their coats feel dirty and dry. If you have to bath either, especially cats, be sure to use a rubber mat or towel in the bottom of the sink/tub. They have to have something to grip and they will be much more calm. They thrash around more due to losing their footing than the death bites from the fleas. I used one of those old tub/dish
mats that they could sink their claws into and they still wailed, but were much easier to handle. House. Sprinkled DE onto carpets. Swept the carpets to get it down deep. Vacuumed a day or two later. Used a home control flea spray (Enforcer) under couches and beds where the animals could not get. Our house has the original red brick floors, so I treated every crack with Conquer AND DE. Did that only once. All of that said, the real key is to maintain the regimen.

MOVIE TRAILER
Super idea lost and muddled in ‘Suicide Squad’ By Chic DiCiccio In all their haste to catch up with the Marvel movie world, Warner Brothers and DC have forgotten one key thing: making coherent movies with any shred of entertainment value. Luckily, “Suicide Squad” is light years ahead of “Man of Steel” and the abysmal disaster known as “Batman vs. Superman.” Sadly, that is not saying much. The coolest thing about “Suicide Squad” is the premise, which teams a load of villains up to save the world in exchange for clemency. It’s a unique idea and it brings a certain nihilistic edge to the early moments of the movie when the team is introduced. However, once the action starts and the overload of flashbacks begin, “Suicide Squad” becomes a muddy, poorly directed, edited and written mess. This team of villains is brought together by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who plans on leveraging specific things in their lives against them. Never mind that there is only one character, Deadshot (Will Smith), who actually has something worth holding for ransom. There is literally nothing more than time off from a sentence for the rest of the crew, which doesn’t seem to make much sense for people with super powers that could escape prison at any time of their choosing. Waller brings in the much decorated soldier Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) to lead this ragtag crew, which also includes his girlfriend, Dr. June Moone (Cara Delevingne). Of course, Dr. Moone is possessed by some weird ancient demon called The Enchantress who takes over her body and makes

Jared Leto as The Joker in "Suicide Squad." her try to destroy Earth, all while forcing her to try to set records in overacting. “Suicide Squad” has only a few characters that get the backstory treatment. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) gets the most, which brings her history with The Joker (Jared Leto) into play. Diablo (Jay Hernandez), a reformed gang member who can create fire, goes full circle and is by far the most interesting and in-depth character in all of “Suicide Squad.” Director/writer David Ayer has thrown all these characters into a blender and tried to come up with a cohesive plot, but it’s virtually impossible of a task. It leaves every character short changed, especially the one that everyone is most keyed up to see, The Joker. Not only is the plot messy, the action itself is very hard to follow and the violence is often times shockingly brutal. It’s difficult to fathom how this has a PG-13 rating, especially when one of the character’s use of actual firearms is decidedly non-comic bookish.
Per the norm, a movie this sloppily made can only be saved by the actors and most do their part to make “Suicide Squad” watchable. Will Smith (an actor in need of a hit movie) is easily the most charming and charismatic of the bunch. It’s a welcome and needed change to see someone so deeply associated with heroism play a seedy, unapologetic killer. Margot Robbie is sometimes annoying, but that is potentially a testament to her portrayal of a character that should be annoying. Joel Kinnaman’s southern accent comes and goes throughout, but he’s still a believable, effective, snarky leader for this crew. The biggest surprise is Jay Hernandez, who brings a load of emotional depth to a character who has a fraction of the screen time of Smith, Robbie; or Kinnaman. There’s a lot going on in a short period of time with his backstory and Hernandez sells it at a high level and there’s a chance it may even bring a few tears to the eyes of the less cynical. On a whole, “Suicide
Squad” is a bit disappointing. That overall level of disappointment does not compare to Jared Leto’s ridiculous performance as The Joker. The interpretation of this character is so out of whack that the only scary thing about him is that he may appear on screen again soon. Instead of being a sociopathic anarchist, Leto’s Joker seems like a reject from a 1980s glam band. His character has so little to do with the actual story that it seems like Ayer and Company inserted him into the movie simply because they had to do it. Therein lies the problem with “Suicide Squad” and the entire DC movie world. Every character and/ or plot point feels calculated and forced. Of course, this is exactly what Disney and Marvel are doing, but they give off an appearance of not being forced. DC and Warner Brothers are racing for second place in the comic book movie competition and until they slow down and start to play the long game, they’ll never catch up.

GOLD cont'd from page 1 taekwondo. “It’s also strategic and you have to fight intelligently,” she said. “You can’t just get out there and start swinging.” Jackie’s a testament to that. Her training schedule is brutal. Daily workouts during the school year, thrice daily training sessions all summer long. She’s from Wylie and works out at a school in Garland. Jackie just finished her freshman year at SMU where she studies biomedical engineering and she’s a member of the rowing team. “So I would train strength and conditioning kind of stuff with them and then come do taekwondo in the evenings so I’m very busy usually with training all the time,” she said. She’s just as busy competing. Each time she medals at a major tournament, Jackie earns points for her world ranking. In her weight division, she’s number one in the U.S. She’s ranked in the top eight internationally. That locked down a spot at the 2016 Olympics in Rio

de Janeiro. Jackie bagged a bronze medal in Russia at the World Taekwondo Championships, which boosted her world ranking to seventh. She’s a 5’10” middleweight and actually a little short for her bracket. She’s also got a huge grin, painted fingernails and intricate braid woven into her ponytail. On this particular day at the taekwondo studio, she kneels to help a four-yearold whose belt was unfortunately tied in an oversize bow. She’s warm and friendly, but get her talking about competition, and there’s ice in her veins. “I have Jackie that’s normal, like myself, and then when I compete, it’s different. A different mindset and a different competitor’s attitude,” she said. “I don’t feel like I’m stuck in one path. I don’t have to always be hardcore in everything I do, but when I fight, I am.” And fight she will, as hard as she can, at the Olympics. Jackie Galloway is headed to Rio with ice in her veins and gold on the brain.

OFF THE MARK
The different stages of flea development make it super frustrating as they are impervious to certain measures at each stage. I always thought that everything in the world had a purpose, but fleas?? Still cannot figure that one out. Good luck and hope some of these ideas help you! — Mark and Betsy Nanchy, Lochwood ••• Dear Ms. Black, I read your flea letter in this week’s issue and have partial solutions for keeping fleas under control in your home. 1) In the '80s, before “Advantage” became available to apply to the neck of my indoor-only cats, I was miserable (they liked me as much as my cats). The folks at my dentist's office said they all used shallow aluminum pans, or pans lined with foil, filled with soapy water under a nightlight placed in a low electrical outlet. At night, the fleas would jump up to the light and land in the water (never to get out again). I was shocked at how well it worked. I found that white pans worked as well (small white plastic drawer dividers were perfect). When advantage became available, it worked well for my cats, though I hated to use the chemicals on them. (I have not compared that to other brands now available.) I continued to use the ‘flea pans to minimize the fleas entering and reproducing and, consequently, minimized the frequency of using Advantage. 2) One day, I experimented by using my small Dustbuster on one of the cats, and he loved it! It, too, was a huge help in removing the fleas from his fur, more effective and easier than combing. The other cat wasn’t crazy about the noise, so she made it more difficult to do a thorough job. When that burned out the motor on the Dustbuster, I used the brush attachment on my small hand-carried portable vacuum with a hose. This has a much stronger motor. When the male cat saw me grab either the Dustbuster or vacuum, he’d get excited and jump on the table for his “body massage” vacuuming! The female had to be held for this, but tolerated it. I no longer have pets, but look forward to reading some of the solutions you receive! — A reader

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK The coming week will provide many individuals, young and old, with the opportunity to increase their knowledge of a wide range of topics — dictated only by personal taste and interest, and the innate drive to learn. All manner of portals shall open, some for only a short time, leading to discoveries — personal, professional or merely a vocational — that can lead the way to dramatic change, even transforming one's entire life. The difficulty may simply be in choosing which way one wishes to go, for that will determine the ultimate outcome — not desire, not will, not skill, not temperament or personality, but the decision itself will make the biggest difference. The mere choice of which piece of knowledge to pursue shall be the be-all and the end-all.

Upgrade your house by looking up By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com If you’re looking for a fun way to spruce up the house, just look up. Updating your ceiling is a great way to add some value, class and vibrancy to the home. It’s also an ideal time to address the wear and tear that ceilings sometimes endure. Throughout time, they crack or become stained by leaks, and with the heavy light fixtures, ceiling fans and storage up in the attic, it might be in need of some maintenance. Ceilings are also pretty underrated, but if you give them enough attention, you can transform the look of your living room, formal dining room, kids’ room or even kitchen. Depending on the size of the room, choose the right paint color. The rule is that if it’s a larger room with vaulted ceilings, try something warmer and darker to tone it down. For a smaller room, go lighter. This can give the illusion of a larger space and also gives you some room to play with pattern. For patterns, the rules are generally the same; the bigger, bolder patterns should be reserved for the grand living room, and the smaller, more delicate patterns, tiles and textures should be used in the smaller spaces. Textures, patterns, architecture! There are so many options, but I’ll focus on a few. Coffered ceilings are classy, bold and set the tone for the whole house. The grid of squares gives the effect of crisscrossing beams to which crown molding is often added for a more elegant touch. These indentations create

space, so there’s more to these designs than just good looks.
Another great architectural option is barrel-vaulted ceilings, which you can get creative with by covering it in mosaic tile or brick. These often look great in narrow spaces like hallways or entryways, opening them upward, since there is little room to expand by width. A popular choice for ceilings lately has been

embossed metal ceiling tiles, which are dramatic and traditional with a hint of contemporary. There is no limit when it comes to designs for this type of ceiling; there are simple tiles, highly ornate and intricate ones, or just bold and grand. Lastly, panels and beams are another way to create a distinct feel in your home and draw the eye up. You don’t have to choose one or the other; use both if you wish. It can be a rustic and chic way to dress up the kitchen or family room. An easy way to transform the look of a room is to apply fun patterns. For your powder bathroom, it would be good to use a bold color to break up a tile design. Another option would be to choose a fun stencil pattern to apply yourself. Stencils are common and can be tastefully used in any other room of the house, especially the kids’ room. Don’t forget that ceilings and walls can go hand in hand. In other words, sometimes your chosen design can go floor to ceiling. Whether you choose wood paneling, clouds for the kids’ room or a tasteful pattern for the den, you can designate one wall to share the ceiling’s design. Make it the focal point by choosing the wall with the fireplace or one with a set of French doors. My advice: Don’t ignore the fifth wall; it has a lot to coffer (I mean, offer).

candace@candysdirt.com Only $1,050,000 to live at 1608 Dowling Drive in Irving in the former, totally fabulously renovated Cottonwood Valley home of one of the most cherished starting quarterbacks in America — Tony Romo — and his beautiful wife Candice! This home will be gone by Friday. You get a private, gated community, a beefed-up security system, Candice’s deftly creative hand at interior design, and the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort a short jog or golf cart ride away (there is a tunnel under MacArthur). The Four Seasons is always alive with activity, be it fireworks on the Fourth of July, carnivals, bands, the family pool with white sand beach, sports, plus fabulous food and restaurants. Lots of local celebs live in the area. Across MacArthur is the exclusive Enclave, surrounded by the world-famous TPC at the Four Seasons. DeMarcus Ware and Derrick Holland call this home. Cottonwood Valley also has its own golf course for residents, and the Four Seasons manages both, so if you are a member at the Four Seasons, you can play both courses. I mean, this house ought to be as easy to sell as a slice of mom’s apple pie! Know that this was definitely a bachelor pad house before Tony married Candice Crawford back in 2011. She had told me they were moving into the Cottonwood Valley home, but that she would be doing some redecorating. And boy oh boy, did she! From the in-floor sunken tub in the master bath (with black marble, as I recall) Candice ever
so wisely gutted: new vessel tub, new flooring, new sinks — two vanities plus a makeup vanity in the master bath — and two HUGE walk-in closets. The kitchCandace Evans en is clean white with quartzite counters. Every wall and piece of molding was repainted, and she brought in some fabulous wallpaper, one of my favorite being the wall of a 1950s shuffleboard scene in the downstairs bedroom. She banished all the brass light fixtures (way to go!) and brought in contemporary drum and glass fixtures. The home has now become one of the few shining contemporaries in Las Colinas with modern touches in every single room. I just have to say it now: LOVE that powder room! And love their wedding picture on the wall! In fact, this home is a storybook example of what you can do with interior design to zest up circa 1990s-era construction. The Romo house was built in 1993, and is so light and bright! Enter the two-story foyer, and the formal living room and a stacked stone fireplace (thanks to Candice) beckons. There are full views of the very private backyard and pool. That pool furniture, by the way, may be available for purchase, as may be a few remaining furnishings. The large formal dining room features a butler’s pantry and full wet bar with wine refrigerator. This opens to the white, bright gourmet kitchen with quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a double oven. The huge family room has a beautiful stone fireplace, surround sound

There are two half-baths on this floor, one is formal, the other services the pool area. The garage is a three car step down with incredible storage built in — recall that Tony is a hands-on type of guy — and a refinished garage floor surface. And it has a great yard! The back yard is, in fact, very private and holds a large pool, spa, multiple patio spaces and mature trees! There is also artificial turf in the yard, great for kids and dogs. “This home would be perfect for a traveling executive or someone who does a lot of business around town,” said listing agent/broker Nicole Andrews of the Nicole Andrews Group, who lives in the Enclave and basically rules the Las Colinas real estate market. “The proximity is the best — DFW is only 10 minutes away, but George W. Bush opens up all of Plano and Frisco. Downtown Dallas is 15 minutes depending on traffic, or go west to Fort Worth.” The Four Seasons is also a huge draw for families who enjoy the sporting lifestyle. One-time initiation fees run about $60,000 with various levels of membership as low as $2,000. Yes, those are laminate wood floors, likely a left-over from Tony’s beer bachelor days. Nicole Photos courtesy of Nicole Andrews Group said they kept them because they are so easy with kids. (Or dogs!)

Vietnam Restaurant Bar and Grill was the first place I tried Vietnamese food in Dallas, back in the late '90s. Pho, banh mi, and the rice vermicelli called “bun” all seemed so exotic, and I was mightily impressed. Nearly 20 years later, I have eaten Vietnamese all around the country (as well as all around Dallas) and only recently returned to Vietnam. I was sure that my memories of the place were rosy, and that the food would not be nearly as good as elsewhere. The truth is, for me, while it’s not always the most innovative of menus, the food at Vietnam is solid and consistently good. My favorite menu item is the #101, or vermicelli with grilled pork, shredded pork and fried egg rolls. It’s a satisfying bowl, but is light enough to enjoy on one of our 100 plusdegree days without feeling overloaded. The grilled pork is smoky and tender, and the shredded pork kind of disintegrates into the bowl, adding subtle flavor. The egg rolls are crisp and add texture. (And yes, the egg rolls are mixed in with the noodles. But don’t let that stop you from ordering them separately. They’re fantastic on their own. They’re #1 on the menu.) My other favorite dish is the #8, the combination crepe (called “banh xeo” elsewhere). The crepe is stuffed with pork

I don’t often order pho at Vietnam, but don’t let that stop you. While it is not the richest broth I’ve had, it is still flavorful and the ingredients — often beef or chicken, as well as bean sprouts, cilantro, and basil, are generous, so you can customize your bowl to your liking. Vietnam also offers stir fries and rice dishes. I like the #47, Crispy Duck Stir Fry. The duck is well-seasoned and tender, with crisp skin. The sauce was reminiscent in flavor
of brown gravy, but richer and less heavy. Atmosphere is not the main reason to visit Vietnam. The main dining room has a school-cafeteria feel, and the walls are adorned with no fewer than eight TV sets. But once you’re digging into your noodles or soup or rice, you won’t care.

They are talented, competitive and confident. They are the consummate team. Simone Biles. The smallest U.S. competitor in the Olympic Games, gymnast Simone Biles stands at 4’8,” but is the odds-on favorite to grace a Wheaties box after the Olympics are over. She wins every event she competes in, but at 19 years-old this is her first Olympics. She could win gold medals in floor, vault, beam, all-around and team. She is the real deal of Rio.

Because the taekwondo competitor is from SMU. Chinese Women’s gymnastics teams. Let’s see how many 12-year-olds they try to sneak on the team in these games. Any competing Soviet athlete. Let’s see how many performance enhancing drugs those even allowed to participate will try to sneak into the system (theirs and the IOC’s). This weekend, the marquee of a bar on Columbus Avenue in San Francisco stated “Russian Olympic team cocktails sold here!” That will be it for me. To those of you glued to your television, tablet, laptop and smart phone in the next few weeks watching badminton, equestrian events, field hockey and table tennis … “Enjoy!” Wake me up when it is over.
