Four steps to lower cholesterol Cholesterol is a fatlike substance that is naturally found in your body and some foods.

However, high levels of cholesterol can lead to buildup in your arteries and put you at risk for heart disease and stroke.

While many adults understand high cholesterol can be troublesome to their overall well-being, according to the CDC, more than 102 million Americans have “unhealthy” cholesterol levels. You can keep yours at a healthy level by following these four steps towards a healthier heart and lower cholesterol.

Make healthy eating choices. Some foods contain high levels of cholesterol, and when eaten, can raise your cholesterol. The American Heart Association recommends avoiding foods that are high in saturated fat and trans-fat to help reduce spiking your levels. Eating a balanced diet of lean meats, seafood, whole grains, fruits and vegetables can also help limit the intake of excess saturated fat.

Exercise regularly. There’s no doubt that regular physical activity is a great way to

help maintain a healthy weight, but it can also help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Each week, adults should aim for a cumulative total of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like bicycling or brisk walking or swimming. By making exercise a part of your routine, you can easily achieve this goal – and help maintain a healthy cholesterol level.

Visit your physician for regular cholesterol checks. In addition to your everyday practices, regular checkins with your family practitioner are beneficial for overall health.

Whether you want to check your cholesterol, address concerns or track your well-being, plan for a yearly check-up!

Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can raise your cholesterol to an unhealthy level. Talk to your doctor to determine what a healthy weight looks like for you.

During this conversation, consider creating a food or fitness plan to help you stay on track towards your overall health goals.

Museum of the American Indian worth discovering

MICHAEL WALD

Above, Indian rugs delight visitors in the gift shop. Right, the museum is located in the old U.S. Custom House where you can still see the building's original wooden lamps.

By Michael Wald wald.world@yahoo.com In a city that is known to have some of the greatest museums in the world, it’s a pleasant surprise to find a hidden gem of a museum.

The surprise is the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York City.

The Smithsonian has two locations for this museum, one in New York and the other in Washington D.C. Although the D.C. branch opened with a lot of fanfare, the New York branch has been in existence for longer, its collection is superb, and it is under the radar.

The museum in New York, located in the old U.S. Custom House built in 1907, makes a visit here a double whammy. The

museum offers free tours of both the building and the collection, although not necessarily on the same day. I suggest you take both tours, if possible. Check with the museum for tour schedules.

The museum has two huge advantages. First, it’s free! In a city where most museums charge (a lot) for entry, that’s a real plus. Second, the museum is located right next to two wonderful city parks, Battery Park and Bowling Green, and is close to Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, the 9/11 Memorial, the Statute of Liberty, South Street Seaport and a whole host of other attractions in lower Manhattan. You can easily spend several days just exploring lower Manhattan.

Unless you take a tour

of the Custom House, you won’t get to see some of the rooms that are not open to the public. Primary among the not-to-bemissed private rooms is the Collector’s Room. When it was in use, 70 percent of the U.S. revenue derived from taxes on goods passed through this Custom House.

In charge was the Collector, typically a wealthy landowner, whose salary was a tiny percentage of every tax collected. The Collector’s Room was designed to impress, and does, with heavily sculpted white oak, mahogany-stained paneling, parquet floors and wrought iron doors. The Custom House itself shows well with ceiling paintings, marble from France and original electric clocks and

lamps. The building was one of the first in New York to have electricity when it was built.

Don’t miss the gift shop of the museum, which contains marvelous indigenous artisan work collected in one place. The gift shop is located in the part of the Custom House that was the old bank where traders would go to get cash to complete customs transactions. The elaborate teller windows now frame different pieces of artwork and jewelry.

The Indian museum itself has one great piece after another, all grouped by geography and tribe.

The museum includes tribes from throughout the Americas, not just the U.S.

It is interesting to see how different tribes with similar resources each independently developed similar craft expertise.

The museum started with the exceptional private collection of New Yorker George Heye. On his death, his executor sold the collection to the Smithsonian with the stipulation that the bulk of it remain in New York. Although the collection is shared with the museum in D.C., some of the best objects can only be seen in New York, which focuses on artifacts, leaving other aspects of American Indian life to the D.C. branch.

The museum is small enough that you can see it all in a couple of hours. One

exhibit that is interactive is perfect for children. Unlike most New York museums where you are elbow to elbow with other patrons, here crowds are rare and on the Friday afternoon when I visited it was nearly deserted. One downside is that the museum has no café, but one is planned.

Fortunately, there are plenty of places to eat nearby.

Definitely put this museum on your list for a visit.

REALITY ESTATE

For the price of a shed …

By Phillip Murrell phillip@philliprealestate.com You should be happy you don’t live in San Diego.

Other than beautiful scenery, nearly perfect weather, a multi-cultural demographic, a world-class zoo, beaches, great restaurants, an easily accessible airport and a short trolley ride to another country, you are not missing much. Heck, they don’t have a NFL football team anymore.

Here is a reason — maybe the only one — not to live in San Diego. It is outrageously expensive, especially when it comes to the housing market. In what must be the real estate chuckle of the year, a story comes out of San Diego.

In the second largest city in California (behind Los Angeles) and America’s eighth largest with an estimated population of more than 1.426 million people within the cities limits and

some very desirable suburbs close by, you would think San Diego has everything. It does, including what might be the priciest detached backyard “studio” in the country.

Especially attractive to Millennials, Forbes magazine named the highly pedestrian-friendly North Park neighborhood in San Diego as one of America’s best, noting that "culturally diverse North Park is home to Craftsman cottages, cafes and diners, coffee shops, several microbreweries, boutiques and the North Park Farmers Market. The North Park Theater and the Ray Street Arts District are also bastions of creativity in the area."

The Los Angeles Times also noted that "North Park has all the ingredients for the cool school. It's culturally diverse and has art galleries, boutiques, trendy bars with handcrafted cocktails and local brews and foodie-approved eateries."

14. Catch a bug 15. Takes notice of 16. Wet thoroughly 17. Email provider 18. Belly button 19. General course 20. Slalom runs 30. Wide valleys 32. Chopin opus 34. Wide cravat 38. R2-D2 and C-3P0 40. Carrion feeders 42. Giants’ Mel — 45. Dublin’s land 47. Pharaoh’s god 48. Package tour feature 49. Port near Kyoto 50. Creeping plants 51. Unit of energy 52. Work, as yeast 53. Animals’ homes 54. Style 56. Mover’s rental (hyph.)

57. Elbow 58. Yet to come 60. Runs away from 61. Soda fountain treats 64. Shoulder-bag feature 65. Browses the internet 66. Four-posters 67. Peruvian animal 70. Top grade (hyph.)

71. Masked swordsman 72. Beauty’s swain 74. Sheik’s bevy 76. Daring deeds 77. Ring up 79. Prefix for “trillion” 80. Minority groups

Sounds great, unless you want to live there. According to multiple reports, if you're in the market to rent a “home” in San Diego, a backyard shed in North Park could be yours for a whopping $1,050 a month.

That is for a 200-square-foot lean-to “apartment” that actually does lean slightly. Imagine paying that in the Design District, Deep Ellum, Uptown, off of Lower Greenville or even in the Park Cities.

The North Park studio, which looks and feels like a shed, is located in the backyard of a home in the neighborhood. It does have plumbing, a window air conditioning unit, stove and mini-fridge. It doesn't have a washer, dryer or parking.

And it is not for everyone.

Applicants must have a credit score of at least 650, an income of 2 1/2 times the rental amount, no history of evictions and rental references.

The point is to know your market before you jump in, and this is where a real estate professional becomes invaluable. Dallas is right behind San Diego as America’s ninth

The coming week is likely to see many individuals — and groups, too — finding the strength and clarity to recommit to those ideas, principles and projects that can, in the very near future, prove tremendously important, both personally and communally, and that will, to some, actually prove to be defining. What this means, of course, is that there is no telling what activities and endeavors will be most important this week, for the simple reason that they all may prove important.

It’s a good week for individuals to make amends with those who, in the past, have been slighted or offended in any way. In most cases they are likely to see beyond any unintended injury and recognize that there was no true intent involved, and that, in turn, can lead to forgiveness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You’ll experience a resurgence of energy this week just in time to reaffirm your commitment to a certain project that will require you to give all you’ve got. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You may not be fully aware of what is required of you as the week opens, but indicators will be very clear along the way, and you’ll get with the program, surely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Personal troubles are likely to let up some this week. You may find yourself drifting for a while, but soon you’ll understand just where you must go. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Your focus or aim may not be true

at first, but soon you’ll be able to get a bead on something that should be yours by rights. It can be in your hands by the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You’re going to have to keep many balls in the air this week as you struggle to catch up — though falling behind wasn’t your fault at all, of course. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may be able to come to terms this week with something that only recently rubbed you the wrong way — but it’s likely to take several days, not several hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Positive feelings keep you moving in the right direction today; you must do all you can to banish envy and jealousy from your emotional lexicon altogether. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – That which seems to come easy to you this week may actually be far more difficult when you begin to take it for granted — so that’s something you don’t want to do!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You can promote a great many new ideas this week, but take care you don’t let everyone else have all the fun. Save one or two for yourself to explore. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – There may be more rules and regulations for you to know and follow than usual this week. Be ready to shift from one thing to another quickly; flexibility is an asset.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) Your productivity is on the rise,

but you must take care that you don’t give everything you come up with the “green light.” You can afford to be choosy! (March 6-March 20) – You don’t want to be pressured into doing something that you simply shouldn’t do — and you know better! The answer is simple: Just say “no” when “no” is the answer!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may be dealing with issues surrounding motivation and intent this week. There are those who think they have all the answers; you’ll set them straight.

(April 5-April 19) – You can have more than you currently possess, and there are times this week when you may want to give up something you already have for something you really want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You must be willing to share anything and all things that come your way this week; it’s not meant for you alone, and many will be waiting for a handout. (May 6-May 20) – When dealing with someone in need this week, all you have to do is remember when you were in a similar position; that will inspire you to do all you can do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may have to expose yourself to a certain risk that, in times past, wouldn’t have been an issue at all.

This is all a part of the changing personal landscape. (June 7-June 20) – You may have to pull from

all of your various stores of knowledge this week as you tackle a problem that appeared to come out of nowhere. You’ll get and give advice.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) Further exploration of certain issues this week is likely to reveal to you that you were on the right track all along. You needn’t alter your game plan. (July 8-July 22) – You will want to refrain from making any judgment calls this week, especially when it comes to friends and loved ones. Tolerance and encouragement are what you must offer.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You must take care that you’re not simply acting on assumptions this week; take the time to examine issues more closely than usual, and get as much real-time information as you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) It’s a good week to focus on some personal issues. You have a puzzle to solve, and it’s likely to be trickier than expected. Not everyone is forthcoming. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Make jokes at inappropriate times and you’re likely to find yourself left out in the cold this week. You’ll want to do all you can to be a part of what’s going on.

THEATER REVIEW

‘a love offering’ is a poem in a play

Charity

Sp

By Brian Wilson

brian.wilson.usmc@gmail.com “Confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one’s beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses.” – James Baldwin How does one describe Jonathan Norton’s “a love offering?” We can perhaps start with the basics. “a love offering” is currently playing at Kitchen Dog Theater at 2600 N. Stemmons Freeway through Sunday, Oct. 27. But beyond that, we run into difficulties because how do you describe a fast moving 90-minute play that feels like a beautiful epic poem?

I don’t use that term lightly, but it’s rare to find a playwright that can create characters that have a past, a present and a future as well as actors who can bring them to life in such an astonishing way.

The story, centered on Mr. Turner (played

by Chris Messersmith), is mostly about a catatonic Alzheimer’s sufferer in an assisted living center. Norton allows his characters to work together like a perfectly rehearsed string quartet, building and relieving tension in a masterful way.

Mr. Turner’s children Stewart (Max Hartman) and his sister Josie (Brandy McClendon Kae) play off each other, with Stewart continually trying to de-escalate the exasperated Josie. Mr. Turner’s caretakers T’wana (Whitney LaTrice Coulter) and Miss Georgia (Rhonda Boutte’) are the targets of both Josie’s phrenetic emotions and Stewart’s attempts at manipulation, but also have to work out their long history together and navigate a world that provides roadblock after roadblock to any attempts at happiness.

There are racial and religious undertones and overtones throughout the play, but deftly done. Stewart and Josie are religious, white upper middle class business owners. T’Wana and Miss Georgia are African-American women working for little more than minimum wage and spending a significant amount of that work literally and figuratively cleaning up after the mess created by their white clients. But I say “deftly done” because there is little of the overt “Here be Racists” written on a map for the audience or “Look at these Christian hypocrites”

CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY NORTH TEXAS

No one should have to face cancer alone. Three clubrooms offer respite, support and companionship free of charge.

By Sally Blanton

6500 Cedar Springs Road. Tickets are $50.

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

Q What is your facility like?

A We have three wonderful locations – we call them clubhouses. They are warm, welcoming and homelike places. Each is known for its welcoming “red door.” We say, “We’ll take care of everything, just walk through the door.”

Q How was your nonprofit founded?

A Cancer Support Community North

Texas opened its doors as Gilda’s Club North Texas and was founded by a group of cancer survivors who were inspired Gilda Radner’s story and how she found support so vital as she went through her cancer.

JORDAN FRAKER

“a love offering” is currently playing at Kitchen Dog Theater through Sunday, Oct. 27. emblazoned in neon above the characters heads. These are fully three dimensional characters that are trying to navigate their circumstances, have an internal value system that possibly even they don’t fully understand and while trying to utilize their reason as much as they can, are still human and can react to stress with violence and anger as often as love and charity.

The direction by Tina Parker allows all these subtle nuances as well as peaks and valleys to bring out the full emotion of the play. Clare Floyd DeVries set design allows us to immerse ourselves in the story, and the light touches from Melissa Panzarello (costume design), Claire Carson (sound design) and Lisa Miller (lighting design) all add to the show without being distracting.

This is one of those plays that in a seemingly simple setup bring out a tremendous depth of story, art and character development. It is a poem that we feel like we have heard somewhere before, but want to hear another stanza and then another after that. Norton and Kitchen Dog Theater should be rightfully proud of their artistic accomplishment and you should make the time to see the fruits of their work.

Q What sort of volunteer jobs are

A

Q How did your career path lead you

A

By Candy Evans candace@candysdirt.com If the design of this modern masterpiece looks familiar, it’s because it’s by the same architect who was responsible for the Dallas Museum of Art. Edward Larrabee Barnes was Candy Evans commissioned by art collectors to design a futuristic home to house their collection. Barnes is notable not just for the DMA and this incredible modern masterpiece, but also for the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the IBM Building at 590 Madison Ave. in Manhattan. In 2007, he was posthumously awarded the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal. There is no lack of world-class architecture in our city and this home is one of our most stunning examples.

It often takes a newcomer to help us appreciate what Dallas offers, especially when it comes to architecture. Recently I had guests in town from London. They were bowled over by our architecture. That’s right, Dallas impressed the Brits!

When you stop and think for a moment, you realize Dallas is a place where creativity in architecture has always been allowed to grow and thrive. Consider the fact we have buildings by American Pritzker winners I.M. Pei and Philip Johnson. George Dahl was the architect in charge of the 1936 Fair Park Exposition, curating an unmatched collection of Art Deco design. Thom Mayne designed the Perot Museum of Nature and Science and Robert A.M. Stern designed the George W. Bush Library. Then there are the beautiful homes by Dallas Architects Charles S. Dilbeck, O’Neil Ford, Howard R. Meyer, David R. Williams and Hal Thomson.

Dallas is where you want to be if you love architecture, and this modern masterpiece is where you want to live.

I think it’s a perfect spot for Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, to oversee its latest Dallas venture.

He could Uber Air to work in about five minutes.

When you are an innovator, you deserve a unique modernist masterpiece and you want something no one else has.

CANDY'S DIRT

This home, located at 4608 Meadowood Road, is listed at $15 million.

At almost 11,000 square feet, the house is dramatic and exciting yet does not overwhelm, which is a mark of great modern design. Although minimalist, it’s a far cry from the tedious white box construction we see invading Dallas. Today’s builders can learn a lot by looking at this home. There are clean lines and plain surfaces to be sure. But the perfect scale and proportion, surrounded by the lush grounds and serene courtyards, create a balance between elegance and informality unmatched by anything I’ve ever come across.

The master retreat features an office, gym, large bedroom, enormous marble bathroom and huge closets. This modern masterpiece has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, three half-baths, a chef’s kitchen, a guest suite with a living room and a wet bar. Of course, there is an elevator to all three floors.

A creek winds through the property that includes native Texas plants and trees. Designed by noted firm Reed Hilderbrand, the landscape echoes the architecture as restrained at the front and free-spirited at the rear.

“It’s an ideal home for families with older children that want their space, and certainly for art collectors and anyone that loves entertaining,” said Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s listing agent Faisal Halum. “It really is a compound. Private, yet it can handle any event and the grounds are extraordinary. The property unfolds beautifully and certainly surprises at every turn.”

And Khosrowshahi, if you are reading, (well of course you are), 4608 Meadowood Road is only $15 million.

UPTOWN GIRL

Suburban development stints hinder expansion

By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com Dallas has faced many phases in its history of expansion. It’s grown up and out and up again, as hundreds of thousands flock here each year to Dallas, Fort Worth and all the cities around and in between.

In 2018, DFW gained more residents than any other metro area in the nation, those numbers remaining relatively consistent, as our suburbs continue to lead the nation in population growth.

An affinity for the development of successful, mixed-use communities led to a craze that attracted masses to Dallas suburban regions throughout the past 50 years, with the consistent growth of large corporate parks like Legacy, Frisco Station and Las Colinas. This expansion can be seen in just about every immediate suburb of Dallas

like Addison Circle, The Star in Frisco, CityLine in Richardson and the list goes on.

One of the suburban regions that gained significant population increases in recent years is the Wylie/Sachse region northeast of Dallas, where Wylie has been named “Best Place to Live in the Nation,” “No. 1 Best Small City for Families,” second “Best Suburb in the Nation,” fifth “Best Place for Young Families in Texas” and so on.

As area suburbs gain notoriety, developers of large-scale lifestyle communities have begun to stake their marks on land that could be home to the next big migration within and into DFW. But, as of right now, the current pool of commercial properties doesn’t exactly support their predicted growth nor the current residential housing. Even worse, neither do the city leaders.

The quaint, small-town feel that gives Wylie its attraction, is

one of the oldest cities in Texas that has retained much of its early downtown infrastructures and one of the unique factors that has turned the heads of the city’s officials against progressive change. Perhaps it’s the old railroad-infused aura and historic brick buildings that have hardened the local government into rejecting large-scale developments. But in reality, the historic infrastructure needs flowing commerce to ensure future stability.

Currently, the residents of Wylie are facing a massive leakage, due to the fact that they oftentimes have to leave their municipality to access shopping, restaurants, entertainment and other sources crucial for building tax revenue. With the population growing and sales tax revenue remaining consistent, the city needs additional sources to generate sales and property tax to support the city and schools.

The District is one large lifestyle community that has faced problems from the mayor getting zoning approval in Wylie.

However, the tax revenue generated from projects like this could provide remarkable change for the city, in revenue, housing and sustainability of their prized historical regions. In its plans, The District will erect a multi-billion dollar development of commercial and residential real estate surrounding a river and public park/recreational area. The commercial side of the expansion includes high-end and mid-scale restaurants, entertainment facilities, offices, retail and more that will provide both tax revenue and employment for the City of Wylie.

Quality of life is a key factor in why people choose to migrate to the suburbs, and if growing suburban regions can’t support the immigration that Dallas is seeing from all over the nation,

TEXAS TRADITION ON-A-STICK

Ryann Gordon then those flocking to our city can’t move outward, which will predictably continue to cause our city’s rent prices and overall cost of living to skyrocket. Our metro has become well-known for both our exquisite skyline as well as the quality of life in our suburban regions, which we, as a city, must work to support, whether we live there or not.

MULL IT OVER

Dallas Stars try to weather offensive drought

By David Mullen david@katytrailweekly.com On Oct. 2, it was in 98 degrees in Nashville; 96 in Raleigh; 92 in New York City and Columbus; 91 in St. Louis, Phoenix and Tampa; 88 in Miami and 94 in Dallas, home of the Stars. Welcome to Opening Day of the 2019-20 NHL regular season. While it may not be typical hockey weather in many NHL cities, the Stars hope their offense (pronounced OH-fence), unlike last year, will not be as cold as ice.

The Stars made the playoffs last year, despite finishing 29th in the NHL in offense and scoring only 209 goals. General Manager Jim Nill knew that statistic as well as anyone. In the offseason, he signed former San Jose Sharks captain Joe Pavelski, 34, to a three-year deal.

He scored 38 goals last season.

The Stars, needing to fill the roster after losing Jason Spezza, Mats Zuccarello, Brett Ritchie, Valeri Nichushkin and others, also picked up right wing Corey Perry, currently out with a broken foot, and defenseman Andrej Sekera. Their defense, led by 20-yearold potential superstar Miro Heiskanen and anchored by goalie Ben Bishop, is stellar. It is the front line that is holding the Stars back from being a top tier team again.

Last season, Dallas CEO Jim Lites challenged Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, who together were to be faces of the franchise, to play to their potential. By the way, shaking up star players should be head coach Jim Montgomery’s job. The success of Seguin and Benn are directly tied to the success of the Stars as is the production of the power play unit with Seguin, Benn, Pavelski, Alexander Radulov and defenseman John Klingberg. If everything comes together, the Stars can compete in the Western Conference. If not, it looks like another early playoff exit.

The Eastern Conference is stacked, and the forecast calls for (the Tampa Bay) Lightening.

They are coming off a great regular season, but ran out of gas come playoff time.

Still, they are a deep squad led by goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy.

The Boston Bruins were last season’s Stanley Cup runner-up.

They are a quality team and will compete again this season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs is the team that can bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada.

After a contract stalemate, winger Mitch Marner resigned. Centers Auston

Matthews, 22, and John Tavares, 29, are bona fide scorers and goalie Frederik Andersen is one of the best in the league. With an improved defense, things are looking bright in the North.

The Washington Capitals are always dangerous with “The Great Eight” Alexander Ovechkin as are the Pittsburgh Penguins with “Sid the Kid” Sidney Crosby, although it is hard to believe that they are both in their 30s. The winds are favorable for the Carolina Hurricanes and 22-year-old Finn Sebastian Aho. The New York Rangers have rebuilt and are ready to compete at a high level again.

The Florida Panthers (Miami still has a team?), look to three-time Stanley Cup winning coach Joel Quenneville and new goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to return fierceness to the club. The legendary Montreal Canadiens can only hope for a playoff Wild Card spot, as can the New York Islanders depending upon how soon to be 77-year-old GM Lou Lamoriello reshaped the team.

The Chicago Blackhawks are a defensive liability, the Philadelphia Flyers are in a holding pattern and the Columbus Blue Jackets have never won a playoff game in their history. The New Jersey Devils could surprise, adding defenseman P.K. Subban in a trade.

The Buffalo Sabres are always interesting to watch. On paper they look average. But new coach Ralph Krueger must bond with this team. When it comes to being a GM, Detroit Red Wings’ Steve Yzerman was a great player. In reality, he inherited a team needing an overhaul. How the mighty have fallen. And Ottawa, like many Senators, will do nothing this year.

In the Western Conference, a lot of NHL pundits are betting on the Vegas Golden Knights after a mild offseason revamping. They will make the playoffs and may even win the conference, but I don’t like their odds for winning the Stanley Cup. The relatively unknown Nashville Predators have been in five consecutive Stanley Cup playoffs and could represent the Western Conference in the championship.

Last year’s surprise team, the Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues,

are still looking for respect. The team is virtually the same as last season’s gritty bunch, so there is no reason to think that they can’t go far again this year.

But it is nearly impossible to repeat as champions. There are too many teams.

The San Jose Sharks are tough in the regular season and f lame out in the playoffs. Speaking of, the Flames are good again, even if Calgary gets little notoriety outside of Alberta. I like the Colorado Avalanche as a surprise team in the West this season. They are well balanced.

The Winnipeg Jets are cash strapped and losing altitude. The Arizona Coyotes, if they remain healthy, can sneak into a final Wild Card spot. The Vancouver Canucks are trying to return to the playoffs after missing out the last two seasons.

The Minnesota Wild got older all of a sudden, but will continue to give the Stars fits. The Edmonton Oilers are going in a different direction, drilling deep into the farm system for young talent. And there is not much to like in Southern California, as the once mighty Anaheim Ducks are cooked and the Los Angeles Kings are merely peasants.

As a fan of other leagues tired of the success and media dominance garnered by the New York Yankees, the New England Patriots, the Golden State Warriors and anything LeBron James, potential NHL followers take note.

Since 2013, there have been six different champions in seven years.

Toronto has not won the Stanley Cup since there were six NHL teams.

There are now 31 franchises and in 2021, Seattle will make 32. But this season, the Maple Leafs will beat the Avalanche and join the Raptors to give Toronto fans World Championships in the NHL and NBA. At least hockey is Canada’s game.

As for the Stars, turbulence may be ahead. A slow start will lead to some mid-season f lurries on the roster and on the bench creating a high pressure situation. But if they can get hot, like the weather on Opening Day, there is no reason they can’t forecast a long playoff run in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

AUTOMOBILITY

At Texas State Fair, these are better than fair

By David Boldt djboldt@sbcglobal.net In our preview of the State Fair of Texas media day (Trucks Over Texas!), we noted that for those tiring of trucks (or not really into trucks) Fair Park’s Centennial Building, immediately across the Esplanade from the Automobile Building, has a wide variety of import brands and many of these OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) don’t even build a pickup. Included on the Centennial f loor are Alfa Romeo, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Nissan and Subaru.

Coincidental to our look at Fair Park’s Auto Show is October’s Motor Trend new car issue. Notably, rather than do the A-Z catalog, the editors at Motor Trend elected to share their editorial insight into what they regard as the best picks in the car, truck and SUV segments. And since you have a chance to kick at least a few of these tires at the State Fair, here are some excerpts.

In the Cars category, Motor Trend’s team starts with the hatchback, identifying both Ford’s Fiesta ST and Kia’s Soul for recognition. It’s been a few years since I drove the Fiesta ST, but there’s a lot to like in what, after incentives, becomes an under $20K investment. As I wrote (and clearly remember), the Fiesta ST is

today’s four-door Miata, perfect for the sports car intender with kids. Regrettably, the Fiesta is on Ford’s Death List, and this affordable piece of fun soon won’t be available here in the States.

Along with the Kia Soul, the Hyundai Elantra GT, also gets a mention. With 201 horsepower from its 1.6 liter turbocharged four, this is more “warm” than “hot,” but it’s amazing fun, and great value at its mid-$20s price point. The writer, Alex Nishimoto, recommends the 6-speed, while I like the Elantra’s DCT. You spend your money, you take your choice.

Among sedans, the selection of Tesla’s Model 3 doesn’t come as a shock (sorry), but the profiles of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Cadillac CT4 (the Cadillac is just being released) do. The Giulia provided an entertaining ride and, importantly, reliable service during its time in Motor Trend’s press f leet. And while Cadillac’s CT4 is largely unknown (and certainly untested), the design is compelling.

Finally, Kia’s Stinger — in base, 4-cylinder trim — represents one heck of a buy for an under $35K point of purchase.

In the truck lot, you’ll find the usual suspects, plus Nissan’s Frontier, caught in its own evolutionary death spiral. The antithesis of allnew or rumored, the Frontier

CADILLAC

The 2020 Cadillac CT4. continues to ride on a platform locked in during the administration of Bush 43. MT’s Alex Nishimoto keeps his spec simple and price point low, sticking with a Frontier S and a base price of just more than $20K. This one is for the landscaping industry, and at $40 per job, you’d have the thing paid off in a couple of summers.

In the crossover category, the staff fave was Subaru’s Crosstrek. And having owned

a ’14, I understand their enthusiasm – while still wishing its normally aspirated 2.0 liters had another 30 horsepower or wasn’t normally aspirated.

Also, in the crossover/SUV mix were Hyundai’s Kona, Mazda’s CX-5, Toyota’s R AV4 Hybrid and Land Cruiser, along with Honda’s CR-V and Passport.

In sharp contrast to the magazine’s value-driven selections is the Chevrolet Blazer. With a base of $30K,

editor Frank Markus selected enough options to have the window sitting at just under $50K! And if $50K for a Chevy doesn’t scare you, take a look (please!) at Jaguar’s I-PACE electric, with a starting point of $87,000. Before, of course, federal and state tax credits.

movie trailer

A as in awful for this Netflix sci-fi B-movie

NETFLIX

Boyd Holbrook and Michael C. Hall star in “In the Shadow of the Moon.”

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood “In the Shadow of the Moon” is an entry into the rare science fiction-police noir thriller-time travel mystery-social commentary genre. It’s so rare that this Netflix production could be the first of its kind. It’s also a convoluted, overwrought, overwritten and lazily directed B-movie that spirals into nonsense the longer that

it goes.

The treatment from screenwriters Gregory Weidman and Geoff Tock had to be better than the final product. The interesting premise revolves around a series of deaths that occur to seemingly random people every nine years in the Philadelphia area. And no, these don’t coincide with Philadelphia Phillies playoff appearances.

The promising story begins in 1988

as Philly police officer Thomas Lockhart (Boyd Holbrook) kicks off his night shift by preparing his very pregnant wife breakfast. Thomas and his partner (the always underused Bokeem Woodbine) visit three different crime scenes where each of the victims died via severe and gruesome brain hemorrhaging. They all share a common puncture wound on the back of their necks, much to the chagrin of Thomas’ police detective brother-in-law, Holt (Michael C. Hall, who has never recovered from the last season of “Dexter”).

The night does not end well for anyone, in particular Thomas’ wife and the assassin (Cleopatra Coleman). The movie then shifts to 1997 amid police brutality protests and the now single father Thomas, who has become a detective. The assassin appears in security camera footage which sets Thomas on an obsessive path to understanding what really happened back in 1988.

The initial 45 minutes of “In the Shadow of the Moon” really does suck you in and play out as a good, if not great, police thriller. But then, characters start talking. And talking. Then, they do some more talking. Once the setting moves to 2006, it flies completely off the rails. An exceptionally poor and boring car chase completely bogs down the movie and reminds you that this is indeed a low budget

Netflix production desperately trying to be a M. Night Shyamalan movie.

Poor Boyd Holbrook is tasked with convincing audiences that this once buttoned up, smart policeman turns into an unstable, long haired and bearded conspiracy nut in a matter of nine years.

Holbrook has screen presence and charisma, but his turn into Full Rust Cohle from “True Detective” is simply not believable.

How can we believe he goes off the deep end in 2006 when he was barely wading in the baby pool in 1988?

Sure, people change and some change so much over time that it produces horrific results. Maybe that’s the point that director Jim Mickle is trying to make with “In the Shadow of the Moon,” but it’s lost due to flat out poor storytelling and melodrama that engulfs the final 30 minutes. The ending is so heavy handed that Mickle and his writers have to add a truly horrendous narration in hopes that audiences get their “what does it all mean” moment.

Like many Netflix productions, “In the Shadow of the Moon” comes with much hype and little to be desired in the end product. The studio has yet to really score a critical and audience hit, but that should change with the upcoming “El Camino” and “The Irishman.” At least, those executives better hope it does.

Uncle barky's bites

CW banking on the power of superheroes

By Ed Bark unclebarky@verizon.net Producer Greg Berlanti is to comic book superheroes what Donald Trump is to tweeting.

They just can’t stop themselves.

Berlanti’s latest, “Batwoman,” is being paired with Berlanti’s “Supergirl” on The CW’s caped Sunday nights. He also supplies the network with “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Black Lightning” and “Legends of Tomorrow,” which will return in midseason.

Berlanti’s not finished.

On the mere mortal front, he helms two other CW series, “All American” and “Riverdale,” with spinoff, “Katy Keene,” coming early next year. Plus, his superhero portfolio is further populated by “Titans” and “Doom Patrol” for the DC Universe web with “Stargirl” coming next year.

Back to “Batwoman,” which already seems like a long time ago in this review.

The title character is played

by Ruby Rose, who in civilian

life is Kate Kane. Berlanti, who is openly gay, has positioned her as TV’s first gay lead superhero. But some were outraged – how easy it is these days – when Rose initially identified her real-life self as “gender fluid” rather than full-out lesbian. This made her “not gay enough” in some quarters, with Rose abandoning her Twitter account in the wake of a social media “uproar” that seems to have since died down.

DC Comics, which has put all of its superheroes through myriad changes over the years, reintroduced Batwoman as a lesbian of Jewish descent in 2006. And nope, the Australian Rose isn’t Jewish either, which also prompted some criticism when she was first cast.

The CW made the first two episodes available for review.

And a major revelation at the end of the premiere hour most certainly counts as a “spoiler” that then serves as the driving force of the second chapter on Sunday, Oct. 13.

So, without getting into specifics, let’s just say that Kate Kane is one big festering boil of

resentments. This dates back to a very traumatizing tragedy in her pre-teen years. It took the life of Kate’s mother while leaving twin sister, Beth, missing and presumed dead. Kate has blamed herself ever since.

Kate’s hardboiled father, Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott in over the top form), since has remarried and founded the militaristic Crows Private Security firm. It’s intended to keep Gotham on the side of law and order after Batman inexplicably blew town three years ago. (In Berlanti’s “Supergirl,” Superman likewise was an onscreen no-show in the early going.)

Estranged from her dad, Kate also is embittered by the loss of her true love, Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy).

Flashbacks to military school years depict their physical affection for one another.

But after being discovered in an intimate embrace, Sophie chose to disavow their relationship as the price for staying enrolled. Wouldn’t you know it, she now works for Dad’s security firm. And when

Sophie is kidnapped by the deranged Alice (Rachel Skarsten) and her Wonderland Gang, Kate impulsively returns from an isolated survival training camp to help in any way she can.

DOTTY’S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE

recipe of the week

Top Round ahead of the field

Drink a small meal

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Bloody Mary cocktails that double as small meals are a “thing” right now. This version is from Top Round.

Local owner/operator Jason Napolitan uses Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix but advises that “your favorite” will also work.

At the Bryan Avenue location in Old East Dallas, the brunch cocktail comes skewered with a stack of beef and cheese slider, tater tots, pickled habanero carrot, horseradish pickle, pickled okra and pickled green bean “from our friends at Pickletopia.” Located one door down and across the patio, Pickletopia is a store devoted to pickled anything and everything.

KATHY TRAN

The Horse and Hole Roast Beef Sandwich with a side of Tater Tots.

By Dotty Griffith dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Jon Stewart, listen up. Next time you’re in Old East Dallas, stop by Top Round. They serve the kind of roast beef sandwich you expected from Arby’s.

Remember when Stewart used to skewer Arby’s on “The Daily Show” with jokes such as: “It’s like shock and awe for your bowels.” He also called Arby’s “the meal that’s a dare for your colon”

and “the only food classified as a war crime.”

By contrast, Top Round’s Horse and Hole beef sandwich is like heaven for your palate and possibly your insides.

It may be the only food worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. Okay, so that’s hyperbole. Nevertheless, with thin-sliced roast beef, roasted mushrooms, horseradish cream and ooey-gooey melted Provel cheese on a specially made sesame bun, this is what a hot beef sandwich should be. Stacked high with good stuff.

In case you’re wondering, Provel cheese is a white processed cheese product popularized in St. Louis. It is a combination of cheddar, Swiss and provolone cheeses with a low melting point that gives it an almost buttery texture at room temperature.

Now, imagine what it is like melted! Think Velveeta hot rock-massaged with Irish butter.

Dallas native Jason Napolitan owns and operates the fourth location for this chef-driven concept.

Others are in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Irvine, Calif. Founded in LA in 2013 by chef and co-owner Steven Fretz and chef partners Anthony Carron of 800 Degrees Pizza, Noah Ellis of Picnic LA and Jamie Tiampo of dell’anima and L’Artusi in New York City, this sandwich and burger joint was developed to serve simple, quality food “made chef-style.”

Locally, Top Round is in good company, sharing a patio with now famous Khao Noodle Shop, named by Bon Appetit

magazine the No. 2 best new restaurant in America for 2019. That means the first Top Round location with a full bar sells a lot of drinks to folks waiting in line at Khao. “How great is that for me!”

Napolitan exclaimed.

Recently, I met up with him to guide me through a tasting of the Top Round menu. I started with what my son declared, “The adult Slurpee I’ve always dreamed of,” when I texted him a photo of a frosty glass with Frozen Whiskey Coke. Made with Matthew McConaughey’s Wild Turkey Longbranch Whiskey and Coca-Cola, this frozen drink evokes ’60s nostalgia, a time when bourbon and Coke ruled.

Napolitan also served a buffalo chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, ranch, buffalo sauce and sesame bun, and a Wizz Burger with house-made cheese “Wizz” sauce, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomato. Get this. The chicken breast is marinated in buttermilk and pickle juice before breading.

Wizz isn’t the only sauce made inhouse. Napolitan said, “Our house-made sauces include Round Sauce (a little sweet, a little tangy but not full-on barbecue), spicy mustard, Sriracha mayo, piquant Buffalo sauce and horseradish cream that packs a pleasant wallop. Not surprisingly, the Wizz is a signature and may be added to any sandwich, side “or even dessert if you’re into that,” he added.

Another thing to love: caulif lower wings, battered and fried f lorets basted with buffalo sauce. Also, ice cream custard made fresh daily for shakes, cones and concrete mix-ins such as banana cream pie made with bananas, Nilla Wafers, brownie and whipped cream.

Jon Stewart, when you go, please tell Top Round that I sent you.

walked away and the nation moved on.

Jump ahead a couple more decades to the election of Abraham Lincoln. He is my favorite president, yet his entire presidency was plagued with accusations of dictatorship. As much as I love Lincoln, there are good reasons for the claims. Probably his greatest power move was the suspension of habeas corpus, a writ requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge to secure the arrestee’s release unless lawful grounds are shown for the person’s detention.

Basically, Lincoln imprisoned anyone who spoke out against him. Dozens of newspaper editors and political opponents were imprisoned during the war. Because of space restraints, I can mention just one. Lincoln had Ohio Congressman Clement Vallandigham arrested for declaring disloyal sentiments and opinions. Instead of imprisoning Vallandigham, Lincoln exiled him to live in the Confederacy. If any president had the potential to be a dictator, it was Lincoln. However, we will never know as he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth who claimed death to all tyrants.

In the 20th century, one of the presidents who had the charge of dictator leveled at him was Woodrow Wilson. As a true progressive, he believed in a strong federal government and did everything in his power to strengthen and enlarge it. It was Wilson who pushed an amendment to create an income tax to fund the federal government. Wilson also passed the Espionage and Sedition Acts. As under Adams, it became a criminal act to criticize the government, the president or the war. It was Wilson who created the Committee on Public Information that turned into the nation’s first propaganda machine.

If any president seemed prepared to become a dictator, it was Wilson. When he tried to push the

League of Nations through Congress (even many Democrats opposed it), he spoke of running for a third term so he could force it through. We will never know if he would have followed through. He suffered a stroke making it difficult to even finish his second term.

Finally, there is Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was potentially the greatest dictator, but also one of the most beloved presidents. No one did more to expand the power of the federal government, or, more specifically, the Executive Branch. He wanted to reorganize the Executive Branch and take the regulatory agencies under his control.

When the Supreme Court tried to check him, he attempted to increase the number of judges and fill the Court with his supporters. Finally, he told Americans that he was the only man who could possibly lead during the Great Depression and later WWII. He ran for and was elected to four terms. If any president seemed to set himself up as a dictator, it was FDR. We will never know, as he died in his fourth term.

I am not saying whether or not Trump is a dictator. You can decide. I am also not saying we should accept tyranny in any way, but calling him a dictator actually puts him into pretty good company. Not all the men on this list are people’s favorites, but there is no questioning they all made the list as some of the most important presidents in history. Historically speaking, maybe being called a dictator by your political enemies is a badge of honor. If nothing else, it’s a pretty impressive club to be in.

Early signs of Alzheimer’s aren’t always evident.

“Glen began suffering some depression,” Kim said.

“We knew something was wrong, but a lot of people suffer from anxiety and depression. He started repeating himself, telling the same stories over and over again.” By 2009, he was initially diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. “The doctor said sometimes that develops into Alzheimer’s and sometimes it doesn’t. We did tests every six months. But he became obsessive and compulsive and began getting lost driving home from golf. In 2011, he was diagnosed.”

Their faith, dedicated to during their yearlong engagement, got the couple through other issues including Glen’s abuse of alcohol and drugs. “Our faith helped us get through the problems and sustained us through his battle with Alzheimer’s,” Kim said.

But she had to learn about the disease. “When he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at first, I didn’t know anything about it,” Kim said. “I went to the Alzheimer’s Association website, which is very comprehensive. It teaches you about the disease, what to expect from the disease and it has a place for caregivers with information about what you need to do to take care of yourself.”

During a trip to Washington D.C. to lobby for funds for Alzheimer’s research, she made contacts with people and organizations all around the country. “It helps you emotionally to know that you are not alone,” Kim said. “I am still friends with many of those women that also lost their husbands. It is a bond that will never be broken.”

While no cure, research proceeds and more than 500 clinical trials continue worldwide. “It takes billions and billions of dollars to do the research,” Kim said. “I meet scientists all the time that are excited about their work, are optimistic and working feverishly to find a cure. Until then, the best we can do

is to provide the best quality of life for people with dementia.

“That’s why we joined the memory care community like the one at Presbyterian Village [8600 Skyline Drive]. Most, if you live long enough, get to a stage where it is too hard to manage care at home.

You need to have a team, you need to have help around the clock or your own health begins to suffer. The emotional stress and the physical challenges, like my husband’s when he got very dramatic, sometimes is too hard to manage at home. It is really great to know that there are great care options.” Kim said that Glen benefited just by being around people.

On Oct. 3, Kim was in Dallas as the keynote speaker at the 10th annual “Each Moment Matters” luncheon presented by the Presbyterian Communities and Services Foundation. Founder of careliving.org, she is a member of the Patient/ Caregiver Advisory Council for the Alzheimer's and Dementia Patient/Caregiver Powered Research Network and sits on the board of Abe’s Garden, a memory care community.

She has moved to Nashville, in part to be closer to the Glen Campbell Museum and Rhinestone Stage opening on 2nd Avenue and Broadway in Nashville’s entertainment district in early 2020. Glen was an avid golfer and for many years a PGA tour tournament host. The second annual Glen Campbell Memorial Golf Outing, held on Friday, Oct. 12 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, benefits the Kim and Glen Campbell Foundation.

“My fondest memories of Glen,” Kim said, “and there are so many, are just the love that he had for me, his love for our children and the love in his eyes.

He was such a loving human being and so kind to everyone.” As Glen sang in his classic 1967 hit “Gentle on My Mind,” “Ever smilin,' ever gentle on my mind.” Kim, with a relentless commitment to helping others cope with Alzheimer’s, is dedicated Glen’s life and he is always on her mind.
