DALLAS HOLOCAUST MUSEUM

State-of-the-art tribute to victims ready to open

By William K. Skipworth @WillSkipworth Next month Dallas will have a new state-of-the-art Holocaust museum. With a new name and nearly five times the space, the highly anticipated upgrade to the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum will hold its grand opening on Wednesday, Sept. 18.

The new museum will be located downtown at 300 N. Houston St. and will be open seven days a week.

“We think this new museum will be an important part of the cultural fabric of Dallas,” said Mary Pat Higgins, museum president and CEO. “We think it will impact attitudes and change behaviors of our visitors and help them think about their responsibilities to stand up against prejudice and hatred.”

The museum will occupy 55,000 square feet with a host of new features including the Human Rights Wing.

The museum will have three wings. The first will be the Holocaust Wing where the Holocaust will serve as the focal point of the museum’s program. However, in the second wing, the Human Rights Wing, the museum

TALLEY DUNN

An exhibition featuring the works of Sam Reveles (left) and Jennifer Steinkamp (right) will open Saturday, Aug. 24 at Talley Dunn Gallery.

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly,com On Saturday, Aug. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m., Talley Dunn Gallery at 5020 Tracy St. opens an important showing featuring Jennifer Steinkamp and Sam Reveles. Remarks from the artists will take place at 6:30 p.m.

“Womb” features five of Steinkamp’s monumental, acclaimed video installations. Her mesmerizing simulations of moving trees, flowers and fruit blur the boundaries between real and illusionistic space, as the projected images rotate, sway and float with a hypnotic presence.

Through these hyperreal animations and their careful calibration to the viewing space’s dimensions, Steinkamp explores ideas about architectural space, motion and perception. The cyclical nature of the works create transformative environments in which time is suspended and narrative structure collapses.

Steinkamp lives and works in Los Angeles and received her BFA and her MFA from Art Center College of

Design in Pasadena, Calif. She also received an honorary PhD in 2011. Steinkamp’s work can be found in numerous collections around the country.

An exhibition by Sam Reveles titled, “Poulaphouca: New Paintings and Works on Paper,” will also be featured. “Poulaphouca: New Paintings and Works on Paper” features a body of recent paintings and drawings inspired by the landscape of County Wicklow, Ireland, where Reveles lives and works. These intricate paintings evoke atomic structures, neuron synapses and expanding galaxies while embracing meditations on scale and space.

Reveles, known for a use of color creating a dynamic sense of movement and spatial depth, earned his MFA in painting from Yale University. The artist’s paintings are included in the permanent museum collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Saint Louis Art Museum, the El Paso Museum of Art and the Centro de Arte Contemporaneo in Mexico City.

The showings will run through Saturday, Oct. 12.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

‘How many Bitcoins for two box seats?’

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com One of the recent news headlines is that President Donald J. Trump is interested in buying Greenland.

What would he use to buy it?

S&H Green Stamps? (Kids, ask your elders about that reference) … By the way, if you were in a high, influential position of a company of more than 500 people – let’s use the U.S. Congress as an example – and you called a coworker “Pocahontas” (referring to Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren who claimed Native American roots), “Moscow Mitch” (used

by Nancy Pelosi aka “Crazy Nancy” in describing Mitch McConnell), “Lyin’ Ted,” “Little Mario,” “Sneaky Dianne,” “Da Nang Dick,” “Sleepin’ Bob” and “Low-IQ Maxine” (Waters, congresswoman from California) among others, don’t you think there would be a line out the door of the Human

Resources department?

Name calling has long been a part of Washington D.C. politics, but this is pure playground banter ... The Dallas Mavericks will accept Bitcoin, a form of cryptocurrency, as a method of payment for game tickets and merchandise. They are just the second team in the NBA to do so. The Sacramento Kings also accept Bitcoin.

The Mavs will utilize the service provider BitPay to process all Bitcoin purchases. BitPay, the largest Bitcoin payment procesDavid Mullen sor in the world, will offer global fans a seamless experience to purchase Mavs’ items. No word on whether scalpers will accept Bitcoin … I hope your weekend of Aug. 16 was a good one. Not to brag, but I got to travel the world. Over many hours, I got to go to Nova Scotia, the Philippines and other exotic locations. Of course I

went by phone, trying to get my satellite radio working.

A quick sidebar, because of a terrible cable agreement, Houston Astros TV broadcasts are blacked out in Dallas on every non-AT&T station. Someone look at a map. Why a blackout?

Houston is 240 miles away.

Anyway, I decided to go “old school” and listen to the Astros versus my Oakland A’s games on satellite radio.

Suddenly, my service would not work on my laptop or tabletop radio. I was transferred all around the map to “specialists,” including some that probably are paid in Bitcoin. I spent the better part of Friday and all day Saturday trying to remedy the problem. We got the laptop working perfectly, but my tabletop still doesn’t sync up. Finally, someone new in tech support said that it might take some time, but they would get right on the issue and call me back.

“You are not going to call me back. You never do,” I said. “Sir, I promise we will call you back.” I am still waiting for a callback. It is just another example of the depths customer service has plummeted … Despite recent stories that cigarette

packaging is going to increase their warning labels, it appears that anti-smoking sentiment and advertising is working. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 14 percent of adults in the U.S. or 34.3 million people smoked cigarettes in 2017, which is down from 15.5 percent in 2016. Sales are down 37 percent over the last 15 years. That represents a 67 percent decline from 1965, when 42.4 percent of all adults smoked cigarettes.

Use your anxiety as fuel

leighrich55@yahoo.com Anxiety is usually associated negatively simply because it produces intense fear within an individual. However, using your anxiety as fuel for motivation can be quite helpful. According to research, moderate amounts of anxiety can bring positive results.

You can utilize anxiety to prepare for a big event, a business presentation or a stressful situation. Moderate amounts of anxiety can help you focus and find the energy to take any necessary action.

You just need to learn how to control the emotion and transform it into something useful.

usually considered negative, it actually has a functional and practical purpose at an optimal level. A study in 2008 conducted by a research team at Stanford University found out that the anterior insula, a region of the brain, plays a key role in predicting danger and learning to evade it. The study focused on healthy adults as they anticipated financial loss.

It turns out that the participants who had greater insula activation while anticipating financial loss were more likely to learn to avoid future financial losses than those with lower insula activation. The study concluded that an optimal level of anxiety has some survival value, too much anxiety can lead to clinical conditions.

Occasional anxiety is healthy and normal, but experiencing too much anxiety even in calm situations can be problematic. Having intense anxiety on a daily basis can disrupt productivity. If this is the case, it is important to seek professional help.

Transform anxiety into motivation. Understanding how anxiety works can make you smarter, better prepared, focused and motivated to complete any task at hand.

First of all, anxiety at optimal levels is healthy and can bring about positive results. If the anxiety is extreme, seek professional help.

Be mindful at all times. Signs of anxiety include nervousness, palpitations, feeling of uneasiness and the like. Always expect that some levels of anxiety may arise when you are about to confront something, like a difficult exam, a job interview, a sales pitch, etc. When it comes, accept it consciously and be willing to turn it to something productive.

Think of anxiety as advantageous. As soon as you accept your anxiety, you can also change how you think about it. Consciously change your perspective of anxiety from something negative to something advantageous. This pattern of thinking can cause you to avoid the negative effects of stress accompanied by anxiety and instead focus on the necessary tasks ahead of you.

On a positive note, this also gives you the necessary motivation to turn anxiety into action, become alert and perform at your fullest potential.

Take action. Accepting anxiety and thinking of it as advantageous gives you the energy to take action.

Instead of focusing on the fear of failure, danger, embarrassment and the like, channel that energy to take

a course of action. You can start studying for a difficult exam, finish a business presentation, practice a sales pitch or simply plan what to do next.

Anxiety uses energy to fuel those anxious thoughts and behaviors. If you do not take action, that energy simply creates even more anxious thoughts and cause irrelevant behaviors. Use that energy instead to fuel motivation and make productive action.

Bottom line. Anxiety does not have to be disruptive. Start using your anxiety as fuel for motivation.

Learn to be mindful of your actions when anxiety comes. Have a shift of perspective and think of anxiety as an advantageous emotion that can cause you to be alert, focused and energetic. Always remember to channel that anxious energy into productive action before it overwhelms you.

Your Stars this Week

by Stella Wilder

The coming week is likely to see concerns over money and personal needs converge in a manner that requires some careful thought and timely hands-on management if both are not to develop into lasting problems. It’s not enough, at this time, to tend to only one. A well-rounded, comprehensive approach is required this week if either issue is to be prevented from affecting others adversely — and, perhaps, permanently. Creativity, combined with a little daring, can work wonders this week. Indeed, solutions may come in a most unusual form and be difficult to recognize, but if they are implemented in time, they can keep individuals from lasting harm.

No one wants to hear “I told you so” this week — so it’s important to listen to the warnings offered by friends, family members and others who are familiar with the problems being addressed.

This shouldn’t be a problem — if you’ve been keeping up with trends. Get others to pitch in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) The negative and the positive may seem all topsy-turvy this week, and

it will be up to you to lead the way for those who are unable to do what is asked of them. (May 6-May 20) – You may be introduced to a problem this week that you haven’t anticipated. That doesn’t mean that you can’t deal with it in a positive, productive way, however!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may be reminded this week of a task left undone quite a while ago. If you play your cards right, you should be able to pick up where you left off. (June 7-June 20) – You’ll want to explore options carefully this week. Don’t refuse just because you’re in the habit of doing so; you must consider the possibility that something new will suit you.

(July 8-July 22) – An old friend resurfaces after a long time out of the picture. He or she is eager to get you involved in something of which you may be suspicious. Give it a try!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You’ve been keeping your distance for long enough; this week, it’s time to get up close and personal and do what you can to immerse yourself completely. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You’ll receive many “hints” this week, but no outright instructions. You must combine instinct with a willingness to learn a new skill. All eyes are on you now.

More than 25 years ago, Edith O’Donnell and Mitch Jericho knew in their hearts that the arts had the power to help children learn, pooled their resources and launched Young Audiences in Dallas. The organization has since grown, providing programs and resources to youth and their parents, educators and partnering community organizations. In 2004, the name was changed to Big Thought to reflect a broadened scope of vision and ideas with the mission to make imagination part of everyday learning.

As a young person growing up in South Dallas, my mother made sure that my brother and I participated in a myriad of programs (Odyssey of the Mind, sports, Model United Nations, etc.). We were always engaged in a program. I can now reflect and realize that those were the things that gave me critical skills and helped me through personal and professional journeys. Big Thought’s programs replicate the experience my mother gave me. Every day, it is our job to find and develop opportunities and resources that will assist youth in building creative muscle. Big Thought develops social emotional learning and well-being skills for participants in society.

Hammer and Nails

Good grass legal in Texas

By Stephan Sardone stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Watering the lawn used to be a chore that people actually looked forward to doing. After dinner, especially on a warm summer evening, people would uncoil the hose, turn on their transistor radio, open up a cold Budweiser and hand water the lawn, expecting a visit or two from a neighbor.

Today, people program their sprinkler system, maybe sit on the porch and listen to Pandora, open up a craft brew and watch neighbors walk by without a wave or a smile. How things have changed.

But all is not lost.

Regardless of the era, everything remains big in Texas, especially front and back lawns.

And there are a number of advantages to an up-to-date sprinkler system other than the sheer convenience. It can pay for itself in so many ways.

One advantage is efficiency.

I get mad when I see a sprinkler system running either during rain or immediately after a solid week of rain. It is an unnecessary waste of such a valuable resource.

And now a disclaimer: If it were up to me, no one would have any sort of landscape that requires a sprinkler system.

Everyone in Texas would have a yard that was water-wise and preferably native landscaping.

But if you have a lot of grass, you want it to be beautiful. Often the centerpieces of a well-landscaped home, people marvel at the grass on golf courses, mansions and ballparks. It takes upkeep, but maintenance has gotten easier and cheaper, if not altogether obsolete.

Take a good, hard look at your existing sprinkler system.

It is typically the last thing you pay attention to outside.

Older systems require maintenance and care, and not the kind of attention that your gardener pays when they shave off one of your sprinkler heads with a lawn mower. If you bought an older property, the system may be dated. A complete replacement, with today’s technology, may be a better route than continuing to try to patch and repair.

Leaks are very common with older systems. They also tend to create puddles and water areas other than on your lawn. You may even experience a spike in water bills.

Stephan Sardone Instead of yelling for shorter showers, the cause could be a faulty sprinkler system. New sprinkler heads are much more precise.

Another consideration is that many older sprinkler programs are not time, weather or water pressure sensitive. They may start up in the rain. They may be difficult to set. New systems are easily programmable, adaptable and control water output.

You are thinking, “I don’t want to tear up my existing lawn.” Well, fear not. Your timing could not be better. In Texas, the best time to over seed or add new sod is upon us.

When the Texas climate cools, usually in the fall or spring, it is the most effective time to plant.

If you opt for the spring, make sure that all potential frost days have passed. Consult your local dispensary, I mean, nursery for specifics if you are changing your type of grass.

In addition to saving on water bills and “hitting your spots,” here are two things to consider. Modern “smart controllers” can assess soil-moisture levels, time and weather.

And believe it or not, irrigated lawns can reduce air conditioning costs during the hot months.

And if you are considering selling your home, a new irrigation system increases property values. The yard will look better (curb appeal) and the new technology will be viewed as a cost savings (wallet appeal).

New, affordable lawn sprinkler systems can water up to 4,200 square feet. You can also adapt the sprinklers for potted plants and flower beds. They are also kid-friendly, using synthetic parts instead of metal.

So, if you must, consider a new sprinkler system that provides better coverage, timing features and better water efficiency. Otherwise, embrace the native landscaping and eliminating the overuse of water altogether.

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com If you want luxury new construction, it’s simple. You move to Dallas. This luxury mansion is precisely what you imagine. Big, bold and beautiful. It’s a dream home.

You can’t find what Dallas offers in luxury construction anywhere in the world. This mansion is a case in point. Where can you walk into 15,530 square feet, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and five powder baths on over an acre with enough room to easily park 25 cars?

Preston Hollow.

The celebrity hot spot. If you live outside of Texas, well, we feel bad for you because everything really is bigger and better here, especially luxury mansions. But, I digress. Google “Preston Hollow” you’ll get the Wikipedia entry. I love that it is categorized as an “Affluent Neighborhood.” I’m not sure if my editors will let me get away with an “LOL,” but seriously LOL! (Candy’s note: I got away with it.)

Preston Hollow is where former President George W. Bush lives, along with our favorite shark, Mark Cuban. And the fabulous Crespi Estate, just purchased by the Cox family, is here. Enough said. If you have the money, honey, you want to live in Preston Hollow.

And you will want to live in this luxury mansion at 5400 Edlen Drive.

Luxury finishes everywhere. “You have to see it to believe it,” said Allie Beth Allman agent Steven Rosenthal. If you know what property goes for in California, this would be easily $25 million there. The price on this Preston Hollow luxury mansion is what draws not just California buyers, but also global buyers. Edlen Drive is only two blocks long, and every luxury home on the street is on at least an acre. “The drive-up appeal is amazing,” Rosenthal said. “I call it the little Versailles.”

CANDY'S DIRT

This home, located at 5400 Edlen Drive, is listed for $6.945 million.

The 2018 build has everything you expect to see in a home of this caliber. From the sweeping, grand entry staircase to the carved limestone fireplaces and groin-vaulted corridors, you will find gorgeous finish-out everywhere. There are double kitchen islands, a man cave, a home theater and an exercise room just to hit the highlights.

Staged to perfection. The size of this luxury mansion and the scale of the rooms called for staging. “Most people have no vision whatsoever,” Rosenthal said. “We did not want people to feel lost in it. The dining room, for instance, had to have two dining tables put together because it’s enormous.” Allman and Rosenthal called in George Bass Stage & Design.

“As stagers, we don’t always have the luxury of time on our side,” Bass said. “In a perfect world, we would order custom furniture appropriate to the scale of the rooms for a home like this. However, we must compensate for time and present a good look, on a scale to make the human factor come alive in the space. The house has a beautiful serene style inside, but the scale felt large without furniture. Staging the home made it more approachable. It’s a Dallas dream home on a beautiful quiet street.”

Now, whose dream home will it be?

Allman and Rosenthal have this beauty listed for $6.945 million.

ROOM TO GROW

Tips for designing midcentury modern

By Margaret Chambers With its timeless and minimalist look, modern interior design remains a preferred style for homeowners in Dallas and across the nation. Modern design can bring out the best qualities of your space because it is a clean and uncluttered style, emphasizing a small collection of carefully chosen furnishings.

Many people use the terms 'modern' and 'contemporary' interchangeably, but when it comes to interior design, they are distinct terms. Contemporary is a catch-all term for the most up-todate and cutting-edge trends in design.

Modern, on the other hand, refers to a specific style that began in the midcentury and has remained mostly the same over time.

Modern design was originally an extension of modern and deco art trends from the early 20th century, such as Bauhaus style, a German artistic movement known for its minimalism.

Advances in technology paved the way for furniture designers to work with new materials, colors and finishes. Plastic, vinyl, Lucite and plexiglass pieces quickly began appearing in homes, often alongside traditional materials like wood and stone.

Today, modern style continues to emphasize geometric and smooth shapes, such as ovals, rectangles and

squares. Since strong lines are important to the style, excess accessories are removed to leave the room's visual lines uninterrupted. Exactly how you highlight your space is, in many ways, more important than the accessories you choose.

This style has as much to do with architecture as it does with furnishings.

Modern homes usually take advantage of large rooms, high ceilings, open floor plans and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Architects designing modern homes between the ’40s and ’60s often created depth in open spaces using wall panels and changes in elevation. Large windows are also important because they introduce natural light into a room that otherwise might feel cold without it. Some modern homeowners also wish to make the surrounding landscape, not the furnishings, the most eye-catching feature in the room. In this case, bare windows are a must.

The materials you use for your home are another important consideration.

Modern style usually is created with smooth textures, like glass, metal and plastic. For this reason, not many modern homes will be carpeted. Instead, you will see smooth wood, tile or polished concrete floors with geometric rugs. Some rough textures, such as wood and brick, can also be incorporated for contrast.

Margaret Chambers Midcentury interior design is also well known for its distinctive designer furnishings and accessories. Famous examples include Charles and Ray Eames's chair designs: these were considered cutting edge at the time, but are now sought for their vintage look. Pendant lights, tulip tables, abstract art fixtures, atomic chandeliers and clocks all recreate the modern aesthetic. If an art piece takes center stage in your room, use lighting to bring attention to it.

Stay away from furnishings that are usually associated with traditional interior design. Furniture with hand carved details, traditional prints, and heavy or ruffled drapes would not be a good fit for a modern home. Patterns associated with modern and contemporary design tend to be large graphics with only a few colors. Although this style is known for its soothing neutral palettes, splashes of bright color are also used to liven up the space. Don't be afraid to go bold with orange, teal or even neon colors.

Modern style has the advantage of looking contemporary while retaining the vintage aesthetic of midcentury design. It's no wonder that homeowners would still request this classic look from the interior designers they work with.

MULL IT OVER

Past top two, who plays for the crown?

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com For another year, it looks like the CFB (college football) National Championship game will once again get down to the big two: Clemson and Alabama. In the last four years, one of the two teams has won the title. Four teams compete for the crown, culminating with the title game on Monday, Jan. 13, 2020, in New Orleans.

But there is “hope down here in these parts,” as Oklahoma is really good and Texas gives reason for optimism.

For our annual look at the college football season, I call on my lifelong friend ESPN college football analyst Rod Gilmore.

Like most pundits, Gilmore maintains that Clemson and Alabama are the best. “We can put Clemson and ‘Bama in there in ink. After that, all are in pencil because it’s a bit of a roll of the dice,” said Gilmore, who holds an undergraduate degree from Stanford and a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

“History says that the Big 12 is likely to get a team in, and I do believe that Oklahoma will be really good with QB Jalen Hurts [who transferred from Alabama],” Gilmore said. “I do still worry about the Sooners’ defense. The Big Ten and Pac-12 have missed the playoffs the most. I think that this year the fourth team will come from one of those two conferences. It will likely be Michigan, Ohio State or Utah. Give me Michigan to finally beat Ohio State and round out the four with Clemson, Alabama and Oklahoma.”

Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame and Texas A&M are also teams of note. Their road to elite team status will be determined when A&M plays Saturday, Sept. 7 at Clemson, Georgia hosts Notre Dame on Saturday, Sept.

21 and Alabama entertains LSU on Saturday, Nov. 9.

The best teams seem to come out of the SEC. “I measure conferences by the depth of quality teams, not just the teams at the top,” Gilmore said. “I thought the last two years the SEC was not as good as it had been before that, but the other conferences didn’t take advantage of that. The SEC is better now, and is still

the best conference.

The Big Ten could make a case for the best conference, but the Big Ten West is still too weak to put the Big Ten over the SEC. Clemson has no competition in the ACC.” With the resources of ESPN behind him, Gilmore studies a lot of film. “The Big 12 has a defensive problem and after Oklahoma and Texas, there is a drop-off, although, I do like Iowa State,” Gilmore said. “The Pac-12 has yet to beat a quality SEC team [Oregon gets a shot at Auburn on Saturday, Aug. 31] and the conference really needs USC to return to the top in order for the conference to get national recognition again.”

Despite AP ranking five Pac-12 teams (Oregon, Washington, Utah, Washington St. ESPN and Stanford) in their top 25 preseason poll Rod Gilmore, ESPN college football announcer. this year, the conference is not without issues. “The Pac-12 must prove that it can have a team in the CFB,” Gilmore said. “Now, expanwin big games vs. non-conference sion won’t happen anytime soon because we’re only opponents,” Gilmore stated. “However, halfway through the 12-year agreement for the current if you love watching great QB play, system. I would expect expansion to take effect when the Pac-12 will have that this year. this contract expires in six years.”

Look no further than Oregon’s Justin Herbert and Stanford’s K. J. Costello. Both will be early NFL picks next spring. I However, also expect a strong bounce-back CFB is facing more year from Arizona QB Khalil Tate issues.

“One issue is and there is also Jacob Eason at ‘amateurism,’” Gilmore Washington.” Those quarterbacks said.

“We’ve moved so far away might make East Coast pollsters stay from the original mission of athletics on up late and watch Pac-12 football on campus that it’s silly to try and defend it now.

Saturday nights.

CFB is firmly a business and part of the entertainment Gilmore has a hunch that the Big Ten industry. I believe that the amateur model is dead and will be improved as Wisconsin, Michigan the NCAA should stop trying to resuscitate it. The State and Penn State returns to form. “The courts have weighed in and criticized the way everysame can be said of the Big 12, if TCU, one makes money off this $14 billion a year industry Oklahoma St. and Baylor turn out to be as good as exexcept the players. pected,” Gilmore said. “It’s hard to say until we get “Personally,” Gilmore said, “I don’t mind an exthrough the non-conference games in early September.” pansion to eight teams as long as a portion of the inLocally, I expect good creased revenue is set aside for players in some form.” things from Denton, as He feels topics like the right of players to transfer the University of North without restriction or sitting out a year and doing a Texas Mean Green could better job of addressing contact and targeting on the play in a bowl game that peofield must be addressed.

“It is causing many parents to ple have actually heard of. SMU, bethink twice about letting their children play the game.” hind coach Sonny Dykes, Gilmore stated glibly, “I’ve got more [concerns], will look to former Texas QB but I should stop here.

AUTOMOBILITY

New Mustang packs plenty of kick

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net In a summer when we finally see, after almost 50 years of speculation, a mid-engine Corvette, there’s something quietly reassuring about the predictable path Ford takes with its Mustang. Like Camaros and Porsches and pickups, the Mustang’s footprint has grown and under the hood is more sophistication than an Apollo capsule, but the core ingredients remain true to the ’68 template: it has a front-engine with rear-wheel drive, and offers (available) V8 power. And while the standard Mustang’s color palette is wide-ranging, nothing quite evokes 1968 better than today’s Dark Highland Green metallic covering the Bullitt Mustang GT. In a lineup that contains an EcoBoost-powered base Mustang, the V8-powered Mustang GT and the Shelby GT350, the Bullitt – introduced in 2018, marking the 50th anniversary of the movie’s release – allows you to get in touch with your inner Steve McQueen for an outlay of just $50K. And it’s hard to argue with the Bullitt’s content, offering 20 more horses than the GT (480 vs.

460), an optional MagneRide suspension and your choice of the aforementioned Dark Highland Green metallic (natch) or Johnny Cash black.

That engine is far more than just its

specs. The 5.0 liter V8 is alive with a visceral resonance that, almost anywhere else, you’d be spending six figures to replicate. And when attached to one of the best-connected manuals (adorned by a white cue ball — because they can) we’ve experienced, each and every trip, no matter how pedestrian, forces a smile on your lips. Until you remember that McQueen’s Frank Bullitt never smiled.

From behind the wheel, the view over the hood is almost as constricted as you thought it would be. Presumably for pedestrian safety, the hood is now elevated relative to the fender line, and while that doesn’t restrict the view on a level roadway, when going up at an angle – a mild hill, driveway or anywhere in San Francisco – you’re suddenly seeing nothing but hood. To be sure, we knew this wouldn’t feel like a 911, and the Mustang drives smaller than it looks, but the tight muscularity of earlier Mustangs – or earlier McQueens – seems to have been met with this overinflated fate.

At a window of around $50K the Bullitt is an outrageously good deal, especially when you have Ford customers regularly paying $50K for a moderately equipped F-Series. We will argue, however, with the alignment of the Bullitt Mustang with McQueen the Man. McQueen’s fascination with performance machinery, both 2-wheeled and four, is

FORD MUSTANG

The Bullitt Mustang. well documented. From his earliest acting days in New York, he was on a bike or in a sportscar, despite that area’s almost inborn aversion to both.

And even after McQueen was making real money in Los Angeles, he retained a fascination for the singular, quirky or singularly quirky. In the early days it was a smallish Siata, and later he had in his garage — and an abiding affection for — 356 Porsches, a Jag XK-SS, a Ferrari 275 GTB and more. Much later, he collected in an airplane hangar an almost continual stream of barn finds. But McQueen

didn’t, to my knowledge, revisit the mass-market Mustang; if he were alive today, I don’t see him driving one today.

And Frank Bullitt? If it’s a Ford car, I’m guessing it’s a Focus RS. But if the character is now working for the Midland Police Department (all it would take is a script), he’d be tossing around a Raptor.

And he wouldn’t be chasing down the bad guy’s Charger, he would be crushing it.

‘Angel Has Fallen’ provides bang for your bucks

LIONSGATE

Gerard Butler stars in “Angel Has Fallen.”

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood For those that are wondering, you can go into “Angel Has Fallen” without seeing the previous “Fallen” films “Olympus Has Fallen” and “London Has Fallen.” Let’s just be nice and say the storylines aren’t exactly deep.

That being said, “Angel” is kind of a blast. Literally. From the opening kinetic sequence to

the finale set on a Washington D.C. city block, “Angel” is nonstop explosions and gunfire with snippets of quiet. It’s elevated beyond its highly predictable plot by former stuntman turned director Ric Roman Waugh’s thrills and a decent amount of character development.

After years of saving the world, Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is a beaten guy. He’s a pill popping insomniac PTSD sufferer stuck

between a promotion to a desk job and his addiction to the juice of being in on the action. This leaves little time for his wife, Leah (Piper Perabo) and toddler, Lynne.

Mike does get some solid hang time with his former Army colleague and kindred spirit, Wade Jennings (Danny Huston), and his best bud, President Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), who both offer life advice. Naturally, the wheels fly off after an assassination attempt on Trumbull leaves him comatose and an elaborate plan frames Mike for the job.

Waugh (who also co-wrote with Matt Cook and Robert Mark Kamen) puts Mike through his paces as he escapes from capture several times with one involving a big rig car chase that’s just as preposterous as it sounds. He’s on the run from FBI agent Helen Thompson (Jada Pinkett Smith) and racing against the clock as the newly sworn in President, Vice President Kirby (Tim Blake

Nelson), is ready to bomb the world in retaliation for the assassination attempt.

“Angel” really picks up steam once Nick Nolte shows up as Mike’s estranged father Clay. Clay is a Vietnam vet, living off the grid in the hills of West Virginia, and his mental suffering is on par with Mike’s physical trauma. “Angel” does a fantastic job of showing how PTSD affects military personnel without being preachy or flippant. That aspect of the plot is a welcome, thoughtful break from the bombs and bodies.

Oh, there are many, many bodies. Waugh definitely has no fear of showing numerous people thrown about by exploded mines, riddled with bullets, or flat out executed. It all advances the story, making the violence not pointless, but there is still something uncomfortable about mass death being used for entertainment purposes.

As a lead producer, there’s little doubt this series has become Butler’s baby. It’s quite

possible that Butler recognized how derivative the second entry was and there was far more care put in the creation of “Angel.”

There’s also little vanity to his role this time around as his character shows his age and he’s charismatic as ever, adding as much “acting” as possible to an action role.

Freeman gets to add his name to the list of Greatest Fake Presidents Ever and Huston, perpetually cast as villains, adds another layer to the pain caused

by PTSD. Again, Nolte is the revelation here and his heartbreaking turn adds warmth and humor in a much-needed way.

If “Angel Has Fallen” earns a bazillion dollars, it won’t be such a bad thing. The upturn from this movie propels the series to a far more interesting place than “hero does hero things then presses repeat.” If Butler and Co. want to visit this world again, the outlook for a fun two hours seems bright, albeit due to hundreds of fiery explosions.

McBride brings HBO another irreverent comedy

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net Creator/executive producer Danny McBride takes his usual approach with his latest HBO series.

Following the paths of “Eastbound & Down” and “Vice Principals,” McBride’s “The Righteous Gemstones” is coarse, irreverent, sometimes excessive and completely unconcerned about whether you’re offended or not. In the case of a series about crooked, greedy televangelists, “irreverent” is the most operative word. But riotously funny also applies. Even God might be busting a gut.

McBride plays Jesse Gemstone, oldest son of patriarch Eli Gemstone (the ubiquitous, but always welcome John Goodman). There’s also younger brother Kelvin (Adam DeVine) and festering sister Judy (a gem of a performance by Edi Patterson), who’s generally pushed aside when dad and sons are doing any big family business.

The three men are first seen at a “24 Hours of Saved Souls” marathon in China, which washes out during the climactic baptism celebration.

They then fly home separately, on an unholy trinity of planes named The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Judy has a few choice words for them upon arrival back home in South Carolina, where they all live palatially.

“Kelvin, eat my a**” is among them. You gotta’ love her.

The first six episodes were made available for review. They rather oddly range in length from just under an hour for the first one to a bit over a half-hour for No. 6. Last Sunday’s premiere sets up a blackmail scheme built around video of Jesse snorting coke amid a gaggle of topless women. The head blackmailer wears a devil mask, and there’s also something of a surprise in store for those who haven’t already deduced it before the “reveal” in Episode 2.

Meanwhile, an unaware Eli continues to mourn for his deceased wife, Aimee-Leigh, the “magic” who kept the family together. “Righteous Gemstones” is sentimental rather than cynical in this instance. Eli truly loved Aimee-Leigh, who makes a glorious appearance in a flashback Episode 5

HBO

The cast of HBO's "The Righteous Gemstones," with John Goodman seated in the middle. that so far is the series’ best. By this time, Walton Goggins (McBride’s costar in “Vice Principals”) has already made his mark as Aimee-Leigh’s (Jennifer Nettles) problematic brother and fellow evangelist, Baby Billy Freeman.

The present-day Baby Billy has a shock of white hair the size of Idaho.

But it’s in Episode 5 that he really soars with what used to be the trademark song-and-dance routine he did with his sister. Trust me, you’ll be immensely entertained by the cornpone “Misbehavin,” which is rinsed and repeated with a new partner in Episode 6.

Eli Gemstone, who has come to despise Baby Billy, nonetheless hires

him to head up a new “Prayer Center” in a vacant shopping mall space that used to be occupied

by Sears. The idea is to steal the flock of Locust Grove’s resident reigning preacher, Johnny Seasons (Dermot Mulroney), proprietor of the town’s First Baptist Church. But winter is coming when Seasons spits out his contempt for Eli’s rampant greed. “The Gemstones are a disgrace,” he rages. “An absolute disgrace to all ministries. Con men. Baboons.”

Those are fightin’ words. But a brawl doesn’t break out until Jesse dubs sister Judy’s boyfriend, B.J. (Tim Baltz), a “wisp of a man” during the family’s weekly Sunday brunch.

McBride’s Jesse

strides around in too tight shirts while his devoted wife, Amber (Cassidy Freeman), is too awash in creature comforts to be anything but blissed out. Their three sons are another matter, though.

The oldest is prodigal and the stay-at-home middle one has no problem with profanely speaking his mind. Then there’s that incriminating video. It’s all enough to make Jesse equal parts cocksure and insecure. And McBride is long accustomed to broadly playing those dualities.

Goodman, who’s doing double time on ABC’s “The Conners,” has an equally grand but somewhat more restrained time playing Eli. In Episode 3, his dry, matter-of-fact dismissal of Aimee-Leigh’s no-account brother — “Baby Billy’s a sack of sh**” — is so perfectly delivered that it seems heaven-sent.

DeVine’s Kelvin, whose best friend is a muscular former Satanic cult member named Keefe (Tony Cavalero), so far is having a tougher time breaking through as a resonating character. His strongest episode, No. 4, telescopes earnest Kelvin’s headlong efforts to be an effective youth minister.

As sister Judy, though, Patterson registers from the moment she opens her mouth. Her inflections and digressions are comedy gold. The devil has won if she doesn’t get an Emmy nomination.

And now some brief words about penises.

You’ll see some, particularly in Episode 3. It’s the new “equality,” as is also demonstrated in HBO’s recently released “Euphoria” series. But as a turn-on, well, there’s really nothing to see here.

Other than that, “The Righteous Gemstones” is hallelujah-worthy for its performances, energy, comedy, dramedy and occasional little heart tugs.

HBO is giving it a major promotional push in times when its cupboard needs replenishing after the recent losses of “Game of Thrones” and “Veep.”

There’s no big message from on high here. Just enjoy yourself to the point that when HBO passes its monthly collection plate, “Righteous Gemstones” will be one big reason why you’ll keep on giving.

Chilly Vancouver is just lukewarm

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com I decided to visit Vancouver during the hottest days in Dallas. While it was a steamy 90 plus degrees in Dallas, I wasn’t prepared for the chilly and drizzly weather at the hottest time in Vancouver.

That is also a metaphor for how I felt about the city … lukewarm. It felt like New York City in miniature without the greatness of that city and a whole lot fewer people. There were no crowds. The buildings were generally moderate size glass structures built to withstand The Big One (Vancouver sits on a fault line) which nearly everyone believes will level Vancouver when it comes.

The suburb of Richmond, near the international airport, feels like you’re in China as many of

the faces and signs on retail and commercial establishments are in Chinese.

Although Vancouver itself has the world’s third largest Chinatown, most of its Asian community lives in Richmond. The “subway,” a light rail similar to DART, arrives in Vancouver in 25 minutes from Richmond. You’ll want to visit Richmond’s casino, the area’s largest, reputed to be a big site for money laundering. Next to the casino is a popular tourist attraction, the Richmond Night Market, an Asian inspired market, open during summer months at night.

In Vancouver proper, Stanley Park is the highlight tourist attraction. It’s a public park with many facets, including a marina, rose garden, totem pole exhibit and plenty of biking, surrounded on three sides

by the water, which is ever-present in Vancouver.

Highlight two is Granville Island. Easily spend an entire day here.

On the waterfront, you can see huge floating homes; there is a market selling everything and many places to dine. Interestingly, a cement factory that pre-dates the tourist development of the Island is still in operation in the center of it all.

A favorite and unique tourist site is the Capilano Suspension Bridge, a private rainforest development. Judging from the cost of entry and the large number of people visiting, it is hugely profitable.

Admission price depends on the time you visit and your age. Average cost is about $50, but, hey, you do get a “free” rain poncho.

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

Seek out Hide Bar for brunch

The Breakfast Burrito at Hide.

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com When you’re a consensus “top bar” in Dallas, adding brunch makes a lot of sense. That makes it easy for last night’s customers to banish their hangovers while returning to where they left their (pick one): Phone. Credit card. Car. All of the above.

Such is Hide Bar in Deep Ellum, lauded for its beverage program AND its bar food. Now comes weekend brunch.

On a recent hosted visit, the morning-after menu lived up to the hype. I was particularly fascinated by the hash browns hack, smashed Tater Tots. Yes, just fry ‘em up and then kind of mash them.

You’ve got easy hash browns.

The Chicken Bowl executes the tots concept well with fried chicken nuggets scattered over smashed tots smothered in

chorizo gravy with a fried egg draped overall. If that’s not a hangover buster, I don’t know what is.

On the other hand, Fig Toast appeals to a more nuanced sensibility, with herbed goat cheese, wine-poached figs and prosciutto on a butter-toastHIDE ed baguette. This share plate paired well with smoked rosemary-laced bloody Mary. And the crafted Rosé All Day cocktail with wine, gin and “acid-adjusted” grapefruit juice.

Bartender James Grissom explained that the process “nulls the sweetness” of the juice for a crisper cocktail.

There’s another share plate at Hide that regulars love, Pimento Cheese Fritters. Just what you’d expect from the name, these are golf ball size spheres of pimento cheese coated with crumbs and fried. Crisp on the outside and melting on the inside, these orbs are true appetizers, whetting the palate for more.

Want your very own plate of something? Consider Baked Eggs. Then decide between eggs Arrabiata, with spicy tomato sauce and Parmesan; Ham and Cheese, with gruyere and fontanel plus ham and bread crumb topping; or Boscaiola, wild mushrooms, mozzarella and sausage.

Our Ham and Cheese Baked Eggs was a cheesy, soft yolky, hot casserole of immensely gooey satisfaction.

Good with or without a hangover.

Hide is the creation of hospitality empresario Nick Backlund who just opened another concept

in Old East Dallas, Toller Patio Bar and Kitchen on Ross Avenue. The outdoor venue offers drinks and bar food in a very casual, informal setting that made me think Truck Yard without food trucks.

At this point, I must digress. Toller Patio is named after a breed of dog, the Nova Scotia Tolling Retriever, often called a Toller, for short. The dogs are known for tolling, their characteristic trait of playing along the shoreline in a manner that attracts ducks. Also known as decoy dogs, Tollers then happily retrieve downed ducks after the birds’ curiosity has lured them within shotgun range of concealed hunters. Yes, Toller Patio is dog friendly.

All this brings me to ask: Can you identify three restaurants with Dallas locations named after dogs? 1. Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, in honor of the founder’s yellow Lab. 2. Il Bracco, named after an Italian pointing breed, Bracco Italiano. 3. And now Toller Patio Bar and Kitchen.

That’s conversation trivia you can use … at a bar like Hide, a vintage Deep Ellum storefront with exposed brick interior walls. And that brings us back to brunch. The menu offers choices from the mundane such as eggs, bacon, Tater Tot hash, toast and jam. To ever more indulgent options such as Dirty Tots, a fried potato riff on nachos with bacon pieces, jalapeños, cheese sauce and shredded Cheddar. And Cornmeal Waffles topped with choice of bacon and cheddar; blueberries and candied pecans; Nutella and fresh berries; or fried chicken.

Not in the mood for breakfast, try a double cheeseburger or steak salad. At Hide, you’ve got options.

Olé to Rosé Cocktail

HIDE

The Rosé All Day cocktail at Hide Bar.

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com This cocktail is lovely to look at and lovely to drink. Scott Jenkins, director of beverage at Hide, shared the recipe.

Note that it calls for London dry gin.

This is not a brand name but rather a type of gin. It has nothing to do with where it is manufactured.

Most familiar labels, including Tanqueray, Beefeaters and Bombay, are made in the London dry style.

HIDE BAR ROSÉ ALL DAY 3 1/2 ounces rosé (preferably infused with lavender and/or rosehips) 1 ounce London dry gin Splash of grapefruit juice 1/2 ounce simple syrup Pinch of salt Thin slice of grapefruit (preferably dehydrated) In a large wine glass with ice, mix rosé and gin. Add simple syrup and salt to taste.

Garnish rim of glass with slice of grapefruit.

Makes 1 cocktail.

State adds transparency and cost curbs to healthcare

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com The medical system in America has been a growing topic in politics and society, most certainly when looking at the impact of Big Pharma and rising prices of healthcare. Recently, Texas joined the discussion and signed into law several new bills that will protect their constituents against unnecessary medical costs. And in true Texas fashion, these legislative changes will prove to be some of the most aggressive in the nation.

Just months ago, Oklahoma became the first state to lead a flood of litigation against opioid drug manufacturers, suing Johnson & Johnson for their role in promoting the public health crisis that has come about on behalf of opioid addiction. This case rose along with charges pressed by the state against two other perpetrators, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Purdue Pharma, both of which settled before the trials began.

What the Oklahoma opioid lawsuits have uncovered are the means by which Big Pharma has manipulated the healthcare industry by misleading doctors into prescribing drugs that are highly addictive and exorbitant in cost. In the case of Oklahoma, we’ve seen how those drug manufacturers have facilitated the epidemic of opioid addiction in the U.S., but there’s more to conversation than addiction alone.

There is also the reality that hundreds of thousands of people are affected by the prices of medications and doctor visits that they can’t help.

The rising price of medications has been a developing issue and one of the most crippling operations pharmaceutical companies have facilitated across the mainstream population. This is the headache that Brandi Boone has dealt with living with anxiety.

“I was struggling with postpartum TRAVEL cont'd from page 8

Vancouver, a long time ago an indigenous man built a cabin on the far side of a ravine. To cross the ravine, he built a rudimentary suspension bridge, now beefed up to safely accommodate hordes of tourists who flock here to cross it. On

"Big Pharma" by artist Luke Schroeder. after my son was born in 2013,” Boone said, going back in time to when she first visited a psychiatrist. “They prescribed me clozapine, Zoloft, phenylephrine and a sleeping pill with benzo in it. Then I started having side effects with the amounts of medicine I was taking, and the prices were just out of hand. I wasn’t able to afford my refills every time, so I started splitting my pills in half when I was running low. I was so reliant on the medication by that point though, I actually had a seizure in my bed one night when I was off my meds.”

Treatments for everyday conditions, like lupus, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, most mental disorders and so many more, exceed cost efficiency for the average American. In Texas though, you now have protection against these rising prices on medications and doctor visits.

Texas recently signed into law HB 2536 which orders all drug manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers

In another exhibit a foot path with stairs is built jutting out from the mountain alongside a ravine. It offers breathtaking views

and health benefit plans to disclose drug prices and price increases to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and requires annual reporting of drug costs that will be posted online for consumers. The reports must include all information relevant to the drug and its usage, all company-level research and development costs, the name of each of the manufacturer’s prescription drugs over the past three to five years and a statement regarding the reasons behind each price increase, plus an explanation on how each factor affected the costs.

In the argument against Big Pharma, this new law rises as considerably one of the most influential price transparency measures that a state has taken against third-party pharmaceutical companies. But it still doesn’t fix the inherent problem that the system of third-party pharmaceutical companies has created … luckily, Texas didn’t stop there. (To be continued next week.)

dream of our survivors who formed the museum back in 1984,” Higgins said. “They always dreamed of having a permanent home for our museum. Making their legacy come alive is probably one of the most meaningful parts of being part of this project.”

This upgrade has been decades in the making. The original museum was formed in 1984 by a group of Holocaust survivors living in Dallas.

Max Glauben is one of these survivors. Born in Warsaw, Poland, Glauben was just a child when the Nazis invaded and established the Warsaw Ghetto. During an uprising, his family hid in an underground shelter but were discovered by the Nazis and sent to Majdanek Extermination Camp. There, his mother, brother and other family members were killed. His father and him were sent to a labor camp called Budzin. There, his father was murdered, leaving him orphaned at just 13 years old. From there, he was sent to a few other camps and later forced on a death march to Dachau, Germany. During this march, he was liberated by American troops.

In 1947, he immigrated to the U.S. Since then, he has served in the U.S. military and met his wife Frieda with whom he now has three children and seven grandchildren and lectured at countless schools, churches, colleges and events about the Holocaust.

Having experienced the tragedies of the Holocaust firsthand, this museum means a lot to Glauben, who hopes that it will serve to change the minds and hearts of its visitors.

“This museum is a victory as far as I am concerned,” Glauben said.

“Because the Germans tried to eliminate me from this world. They were successful with my family, but not with me. And the mere fact that I, personally, was instrumental in this is wonderful.”

He’s very proud of the work he and the other survivors put into this museum. “I compare it to somebody who grows up, gets married, buys a home and goes to a store that sells seeds. Our idea of a Holocaust Museum is like a seed,” Glauben said. “And I went home and I put the seed in an infertile ground.

Then, I covered the seed with ground and watered it for 40 years.

After 40 years, the seed that was a Holocaust Museum that I was a part of was created and will be open to the public as one of the best museums, I should say, in the world.”

Glauben is extremely proud of how this museum is turning out and what the team were able to accomplish. “That our professionals
