Talk trash at Hermann Hall
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s (DSO) Pops Series will present an exclusive concert Feb. 12-14 that combines clasJayce Ogren. sic film with full orchestration. Jayce Ogren will conduct the DSO, as it accompanies the Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim classic, “West Side Story,” as a newly remastered film shown in high definition on the Meyerson’s big screen. When the magic of “West Side Story” is combined, with the majesty of DSO, we can expect patrons to have an experience unlike any other musical performance.

Tony (Richard Beymer) and Maria (Natalie Wood) are central characters in the 1961 award-winning film “West Side Story.” Season subscriber Mrs. Sol Stromberg commented, “I have seen a synchronized music-and-film event
before at the Symphony and have wondered in awe at the precision of the conductor to alert his musicians to the coming, next cue to play, to go along with the action on the screen.” According to Ogren’s credentials, he is up to the challenge. A published composer, he was assistant conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra and as music director of the Cleveland Youth Orchestra. He has also conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic; the Grand Rapids Symphony and many more. His music has premiered at venues including the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music; the Brevard Music Center and the World Saxophone Congress. He was a conducting apprentice with the Royal see OGREN on page 10

‘Brother’s Harvest’ is brash entertainment at its best By Bronwen Roberts
bronwen.k.roberts@gmail.com DISCLAIMER: Due to explicit language and subject matter, “Brother’s Harvest” is for mature audiences only. Enjoy the following, squeaky clean review at your discretion.
The Ochre House Theater has a reputation for raunchiness: among the most fearless talent in Dallas performs some of the most offensively side-splitting material — all with music, clever set design and hospitality to boot. “Brother’s Harvest,” the latest from Ochre House writer and director Matthew Posey, is no exception: strident absurdity and vulgarity at its most entertaining. Did I mention it was offensive? For the uninitiated, the opening few minutes of this one-act musical comedy could be tense. Just relax and take another sip of complementary Shiner. You’ll soon
warm up to heroine Indigo Sue, a middle-aged hair stylist and mother of two, played by a bright-eyed Cassie Bann, who dreams of a better life. Along with the local gals in the small Texas town of Rising Star, she stirs up a fantasy of bigger places — and bigger men — with enough swearing and sexual allusions to make Carrie Bradshaw blush. Even for Ochre House veterans, the opening, sassy banter about fleeting hookups, rotten exhusbands and domestic abuse is potentially uncomfortable. Thankfully, just when you’ve had about all you can stand of redneck “Sex and the City,” the dreamy cowboy named Enrique and his robust brother Karlo (Ivan Josso and Dante Martinez, respectively) arrive in town, bringing with them the language of Latin romance and upping the testosterone ante for Boomer (Chris Sykes), a local yokel and Indigo Sue’s ex-husband/

supplies. Who wouldn’t love that delivered to their house every two weeks? Check out localharvest.org to find the CSA’s in your area. If you are still thinking about a traditional present, upgrade your gifts to sustainable products. Organic wine demand has increased in the DFW area, and in turn, organic supplies in supermarkets across the area has increased. Wineries are meeting this demand, as well by taking action to reduce water usage, decrease packaging and utilizing recycled glass, and using renewable energy sources. Many vineyards here in the U.S. are meeting these standards. Look for the organic label, find the most local vineyard and upgrade your wine to environmentally friendly. Chocolate is another traditional gift of Valentine’s Day. Cocoa is grown in warm lush areas around the world, causing environmental damage to rainforests. Cocoa can be grown with limited impact on the environment but farmer education is needed. To find an environmentally friendly chocolate, look beyond the everyday labels we know — none of these are organic or fair trade certified, which work to improve labor practices in agriculture products around the world. Beyond looking for organic, check your ingredients to make sure your chocolate does not include the grossly environmentally damaging palm oil. Celebrate the holiday and believe in love, love of all.

MULL IT OVER
Being fingered as champion has a nice ring By David Mullen
have come a long way. When members of the Super Bowl I champion Green Bay Packers received their rings in 1967 (below left), each contained a one pt. diamond in a solitary setting. When the Super Bowl XLIX champion New England Patriots received their rings (right), each contained 205 diamonds measuring five carats, including four oversized diamonds embedded atop diamond encrusted replicas of the Vince Lombardi trophy. Although the company was founded in 1897, “We have been working in sports for 68 years,” Duerre said. “We centralized on this tradition when we designed the ring for Super Bowl I and Vince Lombardi. Our partnership with Vince Lombardi is what we consider as our turning point for the tradition of championship rings.” Jostens produces 600,000 rings annually, and while they officially haven’t been named to produce the Super Bowl 50 ring, they recently completed 2015 Stanley Cup champion rings for the Chicago Blackhawks and 2015 World Series champion rings for the Kansas City Royals. “We would be very honored to partner with the Broncos,” Duerre said. “It is a process that the team will likely embark on when they get through the parade and some of the other celebrations that they have ahead of them.” After the post-celebration hangover, the development of the ring begins. “We start the process by trying to understand what the story the team is looking to tell of their season, what are the things that really mean a lot to the organization and the different kind of milestones that they had,” Duerre said. “From
david@katytrailweekly.com The Denver Broncos are the Super Bowl 50 champions. For players, coaches and staff, that has a nice ring to it. Or at least they expect that it will. North Texas plays an important role in the post-Super Bowl accolades prompted by a 24-10 win on Sunday over the Carolina Panthers. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips, as the Broncos defensive coordinator, was credited with initiating a stifling gamewinning defense plan. Linebacker Von Miller, born in DeSoto, a star at DeSoto High School and a product of Texas A&M, was named Super Bowl 50 Most Valuable Player. And as the confetti fell upon Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., all that remained was a parade and the design and development of the cherished Super Bowl ring. Minneapolis-based Jostens, with 3,500 employees worldwide, has designed and produced 31 of the last 49 Super Bowl rings. And while the official ring supplier has not been named, when the Broncos won their last Super Bowl in 1999, they chose Jostens. The company also produced the Broncos AFC champion rings in 2015. And while the headquarters for Jostens is located in the frozen north, the design and manufacturing center for their championships rings is located just north of Dallas in Denton. “Denton is our manufacturing facility for all our jewelry, so in addition to doing our championship rings, they do all of our class rings, produce and manufacture jewelry for our private line and our military line,” said Jennifer Duerre, manager of professional sports for Jostens. “It is absolutely our central point.” Super Bowl champion rings
there, we collaborate and show them a variety of shapes, we show them a variety of techniques, and we go through a series of revisions through art, as well as 3D graphics and through physical samples. It is our dedication to the team that they always see their ring in real life. We believe that it looks so much different in real life, they can put it on their finger and it culminates everything that they worked for that year.” The ring ceremonies that usually takes place at the first regular season home game are more for the fans. “Typically teams deliver their ring around the opening of training camp,” Duerre said. “So we will work to actually have delivery of the rings in June. It’s a great thing that the teams do to encapsulate and put a final exclamation point on that championship season.” It takes about six weeks to complete the final order depending upon the complexity of the ring and the quantity that the team purchases. All 53 players get a specific dye cast. The Denton facility will dedicate up to 35 employees, specializing in a particular area of jewelry design, to finish the rings. The New England Patriots ring was the largest in NFL history. “We had a nice time collaborating with the [Robert] Kraft family, and we got to the design relatively quickly,” Duerre said. “They had in mind what they were looking for and they came back to us and said ‘Just make it a little bit bigger … a little bit bigger.’ We came back with two or three revisions and ended up with the largest ring in NFL history. “Every ring is done by hand,” Duerre said. “The stone settings. The different wax injections. The casting process. It is done by our wonderful staff in Texas. We don’t want to rush perfection.” And then comes the bill. “We like to think the rings are priceless,” Duerre laughed.

DALLAS INSTITUTE OF HUMANITIES AND CULTURE
The Institute enhances and enriches our city with various programs. The exciting free event, “Festival of Ideas,” will be held February 19 and 20 at Fair Park.
By Sally Blanton
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.
QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?
e Dallas Institute’s purpose is to enrich A Th
and deepen lives through the wisdom and imagination of the humanities. The humanities, as we treat them, are the written things and the spoken stories that help us define ourselves as human beings — literature, history, philosophy, politics, psychology, and mythology among other fields. Since 1980, the Dallas Institute has conducted public programs aimed at discovering what the humanities have to offer to the cultural life of the city, and we accomplish this through classes and group studies; through public and professional seminars, through conferences and civic involvement; through programs for school teachers and principals; and through publications.
Q How many people are reached each year?
e serve thousands through our ongoAW
ing year-round events, classes, groups and programs for teachers and other educational leaders. We already have more than 2,000 registered for this year’s Festival of Ideas. You could say we serve all Dallas’ residents — of today and tomorrow.
QW hat are your critical needs now, besides money donations? Securing underwriting support is always important, but getting the word out about Institute programs is also critical to our success. Regarding our upcoming Festival of Ideas, for instance, we have made it free to the public and want the entire city of Dallas to attend this significant event and be part of a conversation that we believe will help shape the future of our city.
A
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the
calendar? We are currently partnering with The Dallas Morning News to present the second annual Dallas Festival of Ideas on February 19 and 20 to help shape the city of the future by igniting, uniting and energizing the people of Dallas through the power of ideas. The Festival is one of our six “Signature Events,” and its theme this year is “The United City.”
A
QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?
A We have many opportunities for people to get involved in all of our events, as ushers, on-site information resources, logistical coordinators and even as participants.
Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who
always goes beyond the call of duty? Gary Looper is one of our mainstays. He responds every time, even when we ask at the last minute, to help with whatever we need. That kind of passion is powerful and invaluable.
A
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?
A We bring the riches of the humanities
and power of collective thought to the community — you don’t have to be an academic to learn about or discuss such things as literature and poetry, urban issues, psychology, philosophy and history.
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A Seeing the city of Dallas and the community work together, moving away from a silo mentality because deep down inside, we believe people want to unite and collaborate. Witnessing the real possibility of collective effort in reducing the silos that exist is incredible. Dr. Larry Allums, Executive Director, answered this week’s questions

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH
Know about new dietary guidelines By Megan Lyons
megan@thelyonsshare.org Crack open a few eggs and keep your veggies on the plate! The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture released updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans last month, updating us on their recommendations for our nutrition. These guidelines are released every five years, and while I generally feel that the information included is a bit “behind the curve,” I really appreciate the direction in which they are heading this time. To help you avoid skimming through hundreds of pages of recommendations, I've boiled down my top seven takeaways of the new guidelines: Overall direction: The guidelines encourage a diet full of a variety of vegetables and fruits, grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy, oils and protein with limited saturated fat (such as eggs, fish, lean meat, poultry, beans, peas, soy, nuts and seeds), all of which follow the most recent version of MyPlate. I love the focus on vegetables and fruits! However, I don’t believe that low-fat dairy is always the best option (depending on the situation, I may recommend full-fat dairy), and I don’t believe that dairy and grains
are necessary parts of every person’s diet. Focus on patterns: The guidelines shifted this year to focus less on individual nutrients and more on food patterns “across the lifespan” of the individual. This is very important, because I don’t believe we can get all necessary nutrition by focusing solely on specific nutrients. There are simply too many nutrients that are required for optimal health (making it impossible to adequately monitor our intake). Plus, our bodies absorb nutrients best when they are consumed in combination with hundreds of other cofactors, which is why eating an orange (containing hundreds of unique nutrients!) is far more effective than taking a Vitamin C pill. By focusing instead on getting a variety of healthy foods, we ensure that our bodies get the nutrition they need to thrive. Eggs: At long last, the government has officially confirmed that there should be no limit on the amount of dietary cholesterol we eat. Dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on the cholesterol you see on your blood test results (which has far more to do with your intake of added sugar, refined foods, additives, water and nutrientdense foods like leafy greens). So, we can officially eat all
the eggs we want, which is a great thing — I believe eggs are a fantastic component of a healthy diet. Meat and protein: Several sources note that early drafts of the guidelines advised Americans to limit our meat consumption overall, but this recommendation was removed for the final version (possibly thanks to lobbyists). The final version does state that teenage boys and men eat too much meat, and advises them to shift consumption towards plantbased sources of protein. The guidelines also advise keeping saturated fat to 10 percent of total calorie intake, which inherently limits the amount of red meat we would be advised to eat. I believe that high-quality meat can be part of a healthy diet for most people (and it is part of mine!), but the amount of low-quality, processed meat we are consuming is reaching dangerous levels. Added sugar: We have long since been advised to keep added sugar to 10 percent of our overall calories (which, in my opinion, is still too high!), but the new guidelines are even more explicit about the dangers of added sugar. The guidelines state that limiting our intake of added sugar will lower our risk of obesity, heart disease,
YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see great significance placed on assessment as we look back at events and performance and look forward at potential and opportunities. Such analysis should increase the odds for many and make it possible to reach important goals — both personal and professional — in less time than expected. There is a catch, however! This kind of evaluation depends largely upon the ability and willingness of an individual to be honest about his or her actions and the effectiveness of plans, strategies and tactics. Those who can employ this kind of honesty can make a great deal of headway, but those who persist in self-deception of any kind — large or small — are sure to encounter difficulties now and in the weeks to come. Personal issues will compete directly with professional responsibilities, making it imperative for everyone to strive for more balance in all things, and to avoid any sort of neglect that could make matters worse in each area. Whatever demands attention must receive it! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may feel that certain things are only in your head, but you're not making these issues up; you must deal with them. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – One opportunity leads to another, and you must be ready to take on more responsibility as a result.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may not fully understand why someone else responds to your activities the way he or she does. Investigate further! (March 6-March 20) – Your skills may not be enough to see you through; you must also trust your instincts and hope that timing works in your favor. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You have only so much time to get someone else to join forces with you. You must be clever, thorough and somewhat clandestine. (April 5-April 19) – You'll discover a new way to get what you want, but you mustn't expect your returns to reach their natural limit. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) A little more effort on your part will not be overlooked by those in charge. You'll be receiving a new commission very soon. (May 6-May 20) – Your ability to make changes on the fly will serve you well and allow you to stay one step ahead of the competition. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You aren't likely to see things the way someone else does. Much of the week will be spent settling this difference of opinion. (June 7-June 20) – What happens during the first day or two of the week will set a
tone that lasts quite some time, but this proves quite rewarding almost immediately. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may misinterpret another's actions early in the week. Later on, you must spend some time turning back the clock if you can. (July 8-July 22) – You may be able to make contact with someone who has been out of touch for some time. This could be the start of something big. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You can get to the bottom of something mysterious, but take care that you don't make yourself vulnerable to a hidden threat. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – The time has come for you to make a trade of sorts, but how to best go about it may be difficult to determine. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You can open up a world of possibilities for yourself and those in your inner circle, but be sure you don't ignore a warning. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – While you take on additional responsibilities, someone under your care is able to explore a new avenue of endeavor. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You're going to have to make a

type 2 diabetes and cancer. Salt: The guidelines advise us to cut our intake of sodium by about one third, to reach 2,300 mg of sodium per day. While I do not worry too much about sodium intake (you can read more about this in my book, Start Here, available on Amazon), the fact is that the vast majority of our sodium intake comes from highly-refined, processed foods, and I do believe in reducing those! If we are eating a diet rich in whole, unrefined foods, our sodium balance should normalize itself. Coffee and alcohol: The guidelines reinforce existing guidance that we should stick to one alcoholic drink per day (females) and two per day (males), and encourage moderate consumption of coffee (two cups per day) as healthy. Good news for those who enjoy a cup of coffee to start the day and a glass of wine to wind it down! There is much more information included in the guidelines, and I encourage those interested to check them out. Until then, I hope this recap helped, and that you go enjoy a few servings of brightly colored veggies!

Waggoner Ranch is located northwest of Wichita Falls. historic ranch. “This shows that iconic ranches like this can be sold in today’s market with the right strategies and international exposure,” said Robbie Briggs. “We had potential buyers from all over the world. But it turns out the buyer has very strong Texas connections.” Uechtritz’s office, of course, is on Fairmount Street at BFSIRE’s Ranch and Land office, but Briggs said he spent more than half his time at the Waggoner Ranch headquarters in Vernon, where he put together an information data room, a veritable sales War Room that sure paid off. “It was a series of rooms at Waggoner headquarters, tables and tables of folders and schedules, maps, anything you could think of relative to a complex operation like this,” Uechtritz said. “We created an intensive electronic data room one could only visit once they had been heavily pre-screened, and that was, of course, available virtually as well.” Uechtritz told me there was also a “low level” data room for the hundreds who came by inquiring. When asked how many potential
buyers were from foreign countries, Uechtritz said, “Many.” That man’s Rolodex should probably be stored at Fort Knox. “We had a tremendous amount of international interest from South Korea, China, Russia, South America, really from everywhere,” Uechtritz said. Briggs told me there are layers and layers of detail and strategies that go into making a sale like the Waggoner Ranch happen. Uechtritz said, in the end, it was a competitive bidding process and great team effort by more than 20 or 30 individuals and their teams. “There were a half a dozen bidders in the final group (each of whom had to pony up a $15 million refundable deposit), out of whom we chose one,” he said. “The Judge approved the choice today.” The property has more than 1,000 producing oil wells, with the new buyer inheriting roughly 42 percent of the entire mineral estate. The Kroenkes were represented by Joe Leadletter, who works out of Bozeman, Mont. with Hall & Hall. The Waggoner Ranch brokerage

team pulled in the state’s top ranch marketing brains: Briggs’ Bernie Uechtritz and Sam Middleton of Chas. S. Middleton and Son in Lubbock. “Sam Middleton is great broker,” Uechtritz said. “You don’t do deals like this unless you have great brokers. There were extraordinarily combined efforts; no one person outshone the other. And Joe Leadbetter is a consummate professional. He and I worked together shoulder by shoulder under the radar.” The buyer is pro sports team owner and real estate developer Kroenke. The Missouri-born businessman has investments in a number of sports franchises, including the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche and the English Premier League’s Arsenal F.C. in London. You may recognize his real estate company, the Kroenke Group. They are building out the new Preston Hollow Village complex over on North Central Expressway at Walnut Hill Lane in North Dallas in partnership with Provident Realty. Kroenke is also a partner in the Midtown Park development on Meadow Road, and still owns the land under the old Sam’s Club on Park Lane east of Greenville, plus other properties in Uptown and downtown. He also has interests north of Dallas in Denton and the high growth area on Highway 380. Kroenke has a farm and ranch subsidiary that is one of the largest ranch operators in the country. “This is an incredible opportunity and an even greater responsibility,” Kroenke said, who is owner of Denver-based Kroenke Sports Enterprises, in the press release. “We are honored to assume ownership of the Waggoner — a true Texas and American landmark — and are deeply committed to continuing the proud legacy of W.T. ‘Tom’ Waggoner, his family and his descendants.”
“We will continue to preserve and protect this uniquely American treasure,” Kroenke added. The 167-year-old ranch includes thousands of cattle, hundreds of horses and oil wells and 30,000 acres of farmland. Waggoner Ranch was first put on the market in August of 2014, but Uechtritz said he really stepped up the marketing in January of 2015. Like most families, the heirs of cattle and oil baron W.T. Waggoner argued over whether the ranch should be sold. Finally, a judge decided. Texas Monthly’s Gary Cartwright wrote one of the best stories on the decadeslong family fight. Apparently the Waggoner descendants — Bradley Wharton, Helen Biggs Willingham and Electra Biggs Moulder — were pleased with the deal struck with Kroenke and passing the Waggoner ranching legacy onto him and his wife, a niece of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Waggoner Ranch will be folded into the operations of the U.S. division of Kroenke Ranches — an affiliated company of Kroenke’s Sports Enterprises — and the land will come first, said the group’s general manager Sam Connolly. “We are excited about integrating this second-to-none ranch with our ranch holdings in the United States and in Canada,” Connolly said. “This acquisition ties in perfectly with our cattle, wheat, horse and natural resource operations. We look forward to learning from and building on the remarkable heritage of this crown jewel of ranching.” Kroenke has recently moved the Rams from St. Louis to Los Angeles and is building a new stadium in nearby Inglewood, Calif. Besides the sports interests, he is also one of the nation’s biggest landowners with ranches throughout the U.S. and Canada, including Montana and Wyoming and now, of course, Texas.

Inside secrets in renovation negotiation By Stephan Sardone
Stephan@sardoneconstruction.com It’s no secret that remodeling can place a couple under immense stress. With all the appointments, decisions and managing everyday life, a renovation can become chaotic, and a relationship can suffer as a result. But it doesn’t have to. The key is to keep an open line of communication and follow some of these tips for smooth negotiation: 1. Talk budget early and often. This will come up more than once and will probably need to be adjusted along the way, so make sure both parties are involved in all budget talk. Being prepared is important but being prepared together is even more so. 2. What do you both envision? Discuss expectations for each step of the project, as well

Good Earth Organic Farm plans to offer organic strawberries as soon as Mother Nature cooperates, by late March or April. Vanhoozier describes the farmers market as “downtown’s grocery store” because there’s more here than vegetables, including grass-fed meat, pasture chicken, lamb, rabbit and pork raised by local ranchers. Also fish, eggs, baked goods and “artisanal foods” made by small entrepreneurs. “We’re seeing more residents as regular shoppers,” Vanhoozier adds. The weekly farmers market newsletter, issued on Thursdays, gives you a preview of what’s available for the coming weekend. “We list what ranchers and growers are coming so people can preorder,” Vanhoozier said. Sign up on the website, dallasfarmersmarket.org. The Market, which opened in December, is a new construction housing restaurants, as well as artisanal producers. I’ve visited Rex’s Seafood (a market and restaurant offshoot of Rex’s Seafood Market on Lovers Lane), as well as Stocks & Bondy. Renown chef Joanne Bondy prepares housemade stocks, soups and sandwiches, as well as entrees for dine-in or take-out. Her unique space with a dropdown dining table is also available for special events. Both are well worth your time and patronage.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Beet Salad with Cocoa Vinaigrette Cocoa powder might give you pause as an ingredient in a salad dressing, but trust me, it works. 1 pound small beets, cooked, cooled and skins removed 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons cocoa powder Juice of 1 orange (about`1/4 cup) 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 (10-ounce) bag spring mix, washed, if necessary 1/2 cup shelled pistachios 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola Salt and pepper Cut the beets into
quarters; set aside. In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic, orange juice and cocoa powder. Slowly add the oil while whisking
and then season with salt and pepper. Divide the greens between two plates for an entrée salad or among 4 plates for a starter. Top with the beets, then drizzle the dressing over. Sprinkle each salad with pistachios and Gorgonzola. Serve immediately. Recipe and photo by Sara Newberry

James Franco stars in the eight-part series "11.22.63." a primitive spying operation on Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald (Daniel Webber, Lucy Fry). The cast also includes Cherry Jones as Oswald’s mother, Marguerite, and Chris Cooper in the role of decaying diner owner Al Templeton, the guy who sends Jake on his not-so-merry way. Some viewers might also recognize former “Ally McBeal” regular Gil Bellows as real-life FBI agent James Hosty, who died in 2011 and had been assigned to investigate Oswald. Portrayed as a sinister railroader, he’s primarily seen as a pivotal figure in the climactic Episode 8. At this point, forget about any basis in fact. All in all, this is no sleepyeyed, disengaged performance by Franco, who famously showed up as a co-host of the 2011 Oscars without really being there. Whether frantic, teary-eyed or taking a severe beating, he’s all in for “11/22/63.” Franco’s character
also is very bluntly profane at times, so viewers can expect occasional earfuls, including fbombs.

Differences trigger closure of 100-year-old business PART 2

When a cherished Dallas business that’s served a vast community of residential and commercial clients, architects and builders, along with some nationwide customers for almost 10 decades closes, it leaves disappointment and questions in its wake. Potter Art Metal, which adorned Dallas since 1925, closed its doors in 2014 following a family dispute lasting for years.

Leonard Bernstein’s musical impact gave him a place in history.” Capehart continued, “Bernstein applied classical music standards to a musical, with his clever adaptation of the “Romeo and Juliet” story. There’s never been anything so unique. It’s classical, but with big band licks.” He added that while the score is fun to play, it is also grueling. “It’s really an achievement that hasn't been matched.” After the film was released in 1961, it garnered 28 Academy Awards and another 11 nominations. It was named Oscar’s best picture for Robert Wise; best direction for Wise and Jerome Robbins; Rita Moreno and George Chakiris won best supporting actor and actress; and Richard Beymer (Tony), an unknown, received nominations. The movie was nominated for and won a cache of other prestigious awards, including Golden Globes, New York Film Critics, Writers Guild of America and others. Also of interest, it was the late Stan Kenton, who is regarded in music history as one of the pioneers of progressive jazz, who took home the Grammy for best jazz performance of a large group.

MOVIE TRAILER
Ryan Reynolds is the hero of racy ‘Deadpool’ By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
Are you suffering from superhero movie burnout? The common symptoms are homogenized violence, a few dirty words commonly heard on basic cable and the word “Disney” popping up in the opening credits. If you or anyone you know has any of those symptoms, the somewhat unreliable team of Fox and Marvel has your cure. It is called “Deadpool,” and it is a complete 180degree turn from the Disney-Marvel movie world. “Deadpool” seems to take great pride in its R-rating, reveling in the blood, sex and exceptionally naughty language prevalent in all 108 minutes of it. “Deadpool” is essentially the baby of star and producer Ryan Reynolds, who hasn’t shied away from slamming his initial performance of this very same character in the awful “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” That movie turned Deadpool, a cult character favorite, into a PG-13 embarrassment. In fact, it was so poorly received that Fox essentially locked the character up in a basement, never giving another thought to putting him back on screen again. “Deadpool” is an origin story told in nonlinear fashion via narration and flashbacks by Wade Wilson (Reynolds), a mercenary that never
shuts up, is overly violent and has a soft spot for innocents in need. While hanging out at a mercenary bar run by Weasel (T.J. Miller, wonderfully witty as usual), Wade meets Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), a prostitute that is just as mentally screwed up as he is. These two “romantics” hit it off, and their “love story” is then explained via a montage that is as hilarious as it is risqué. As far as movie montages go, this may be the most original, yet insane one in movie history. Their life gets turned on its ear when Wade learns that he has terminal cancer. With nowhere to turn, he agrees to be part of an experiment that brings out the mutant gene that every human being possesses, with a promise it will cure his cancer. It’s not a spoiler to tell you that once the man in charge of this experiment, Ajax (Ed Skrein, going all in on the villainous evil British accent), that things are not going to end well for Wade. The experiments leave Wade disfigured but with the ability to heal in seconds. Thus, Deadpool is born, and his new life goal is to find Ajax and his main thug, Angel Dust (Gina Carano), and exact revenge. There are a few wonderful tie-ins to the X-Men franchise in “Deadpool.” Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), a huge Russian man made of metal, and his trainee Negasonic Teenage Warhead
HARVEST cont'd from page 1 Star to continue the monotonous ritual of Friday night Walmart tailgates? All depends on the outcome of a drag race, the prize money for which can make or break her independence. As with every Ochre House production, song and dance are integral to setting the mood. With highly original, harmonically interesting music by composer and music director Earl Jay Norman, the band consists of Norman, percussionist Bobby Fajardo, bassist Jeff Keddy, keyboardist Trey Pendergrass and guitarist Deanna Valone. As for the (ahem) colorful song lyrics, we have Posey and Parrack to thank.

Under the red suit is Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. (Brianna Hildebrand and yes, you read that name correctly) decide to help Deadpool on his revenge quest, while trying to get him to see the error of his murderous ways. Those murderous ways are on full display in “Deadpool.” The death in this movie is gruesome. However, horrific violence hasn’t been this hilarious since “Pulp Fiction.” Deadpool’s childlike glee helps make
Davies — which extends from the stage well into the audience area. Clever use of black light paint illuminate and embellish night moods. Going hand-in-hand with the set are the particularly impressive and ergonomic prop designs of Justin Locklear, which transform the stage into an alternate reality. A drag race scene comes to mind as one of the most creative uses of minimal materials, producing the effect of speeding racecars — electric fans in place of steering wheels and movable benches instead of car seats. Road lights and headlights are mimicked with small, handheld flashlights that the actors wield from the “passenger” seats — innovation that takes seeing to believe. While the end of the play seems a bit rushed — a string of happy resolutions are quickly narrated to tie up loose ends and the
it a blast to watch him behead and skewer people left and right, even though you may hate yourself for laughing at how disgusting it is. This is Tim Miller’s first time directing, and “Deadpool” couldn’t have a better person to convey this to screen. Miller takes a relatively small budget of $50 million and creates two well done, practical action sequences that bookend the
movie. The script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese is almost an afterthought, as it seems like Miller simply said “action” then let Reynolds and cast riff away. Speaking of riffing, Ryan Reynolds has proved that he has mastered the art. Not everyone liner sticks, but the ones that do are so fantastic and brilliant that theater laughter drowns out the next one. “Deadpool” literally has a crass insult, politically incorrect slur or childish genital joke every minute, and there can’t possibly be an actor that could pull this off like Reynolds does. “Deadpool” will not please everyone. This is vulgarity at its highest and will likely repulse many people. However, this is the movie that fans of this cult hero have wanted and will only have them begging for more. Even if “Deadpool” fails monetarily (which is a long shot), it is a risky triumph that could have been a disaster. That alone makes it worth seeing. Also, don’t be taken aback when Reynolds’ Deadpool looks into the camera and shatters the fourth wall. Embrace the fact that “Deadpool” is not a cookie-cutter bore and soak up the sheer zaniness of the entire thing. But be sure to stick around for an aftercredits scene that wraps “Deadpool” up with a perfect, self-aware bow.
usual pithiness of character development customary of the Ochre House seems glossed over — the show is nonetheless a delight to experience. Given the history of long plays with heavy subject matter, it’s about time for a shorter, lighter production, comically grazing difficult issues such as race and socioeconomic status, without the need to dig too deep. All in all, “Brothers Harvest” is another success for the Ochre House. The one-act play makes use of every second to provoke, poke fun and entertain, and Mitchell Parrack, Christian Taylor, Chris Sykes, Kevin does a heck of a job with talent bursting Grammer, Ivan Jasso are featured in "Brother's Harvest." at the seams.

wald.world@yahoo.com It’s raining sugar in this place. So much so that we have to wear a breathing mask. That isn’t all. Every visitor was also required to wear long pants, closed shoes, a hard hat, eye goggles and earplugs. The earplugs made it especially difficult to hear the tour guide without straining. But the alternative would be a loss of hearing due the very high decibel levels. We’re in one of Panama’s sugar factories. I visited Panama during the three-month period when the sugar cane is in season. The factory has to make enough money to make a profit during just three months a year. I was fortunate enough to get a tour because I befriended the general manager of the factory, who is also a Rotarian. I’m sure he’d let others visit, but there are few people around the area who even realize it’s there, even though it employs 3,000 people during the three-month season (600 off-season). If any reader wants to go, let me know. As you get close to the factory, you experience the sugar rain. It’s the particulate in air discharged by the bellowing smoke stack that towers over the area. It’s not actually sugar. It’s the remnants of the sugar cane after the processing is over. Turns out making sugar is a lot more complicated than I had ever imagined. It all starts with harvesting sugar cane. In Panama the sugar factory owns a lot of land and harvests its own cane. But individual entrepreneurial farmers also stream in during season selling the cane they have harvested. It’s sold by weight. There are two methods of harvesting. By machete or by

Sugar cane comes in by the truckload. machine. You can easily see the difference. The machine cane looks like a pile of twigs. Handharvested cane looks like oversized cut grass, which, by the way, is exactly what cane is — a form of very large grass. Both methods produce the same sugar quality after processing. To process the sugar takes a large amount of electricity and water. That is why the plant is close to a river. It cleans water after use before discharging it back to the environment. The plant also generates its own electricity. Once the cane comes into the plant it goes through several baths to extract the juice. This process reduces the cane by 75 percent of volume. So each 1,000 pounds results in just 250 pounds to process. Next, a centrifuge is used to extract water from the remaining juice. Following this process, stoves use heat to further remove water. All the extracted solids are used for fueling the electrical system that runs the plant. The next process begins the crystallization of the sugar by seeding it with existing crystals. Molasses is a byproduct of this stage. Once crystallized, the sugar must still dry further before it begins to be packaged into

one, five and 100 pound sacks for sale. The sugar at this stage is brown sugar. Further additives are needed to refine the sugar to white sugar before packaging. Sixty percent of sugar from this factory is sent in brown form for export through the Panama Canal. We may have seen some of the sugar you’ll consume this year being produced. The sugar is shipped in standard shipping containers — the type pulled by 18-wheelers — without further packaging. Eighteen-wheelers pull into a part of the factory where sugar falls through shoots into waiting containers, which are immediately driven away once they are full. One hundred-pound bags of sugar fill a warehouse section of the plant in a pyramid about four stories high to fill demand once the factory has processed the entire cane harvest — at the end of three months. If you are visiting Panama during the cane season, January through March, including a sugar factory tour will give you an entirely new appreciation and respect for the sugar on your table.

BUSINESS cont'd from page 10 business since they were young. Iconic Dallas actor, author, speaker, entertainer and humorist Rose Mary Rumbley lives in the “M Street” home she inherited in 1984 when her mother passed away. “Daddy built the house in 1927 for $2,700,” she said. She and her late husband, famed musician Jack Rumbley, enjoyed Potter’s work throughout their house, which Mr. Henry Potter himself crafted and installed in the 1930s. “We have window guards, railings, lights, etc. in the 1930s. Mother was very good friends with Mrs. Potter.” She added, “Potter’s was a big, respected business in Dallas. It’s a shame to lose it.” According to Potter’s aunt Eva Jane Potter Morgan: “In 1820 great, great grandfather Alexander Potter, about 20 years old, stepped off the boat from Ireland with his eight sons. He was a potato farmer there. A famine brought many of the Irish population to Kalamazoo, Mich., where he lived and died.” Morgan is Henry Potter’s daughter. With a degree in fashion from SMU, she was a designer for her father’s business for 12 years. She loved the business but longed to be on her own. She opened a high-end boutique, Eve’s, in Willow Creek. Her brother and Richard, Jr’s father, Richard, Sr. worked at Potter’s as well. “Everyone says it’s a shame it had had to close. So much tradition. People don’t know where to go for that type of work anymore,” Morgan said. “But, with the economy, it cost too much in labor and materials to keep it open.” In 1990, Morgan submitted 1700 drawings to SMU’s Bywaters Special Collections in the Hamon Arts Library. “Papa started the business because he had the talent. Now it’s a dying art.” Potter will be married in May to Dallasite Lisa Lowe, an interior designer. For additional information, visit Potterartmetal.com.

It acts on the cells (melanocytes) that make and redistribute pigment to give an even skin tone. Hydroquinones are frequently used in the U.S. and are deemed safe by the FDA. However, the safety of hydroquinone has been disputed and use is banned in some countries. There are excellent natural alternatives to hydroquinone, including arbutus (from the bearberry plant), kojic acid and licorice root.
