Whoever says that Dallas isn’t one of the top cities in the country for talented artists — writers, performers, directors, singers, dancers and musicians — hasn’t filled a Texas-sized seat of its many local theaters and is missing out. Contemporary Theatre of Dallas (CTD) is a little theatre tucked away in Old East Dallas off of lower Greenville. It’s nestled inside an historic building that’s formerly a church, but there’s nothing “little” about the innovative venue, which offers theatergoers a wide variety of plays and musicals, along with a collection of one-night-only and other events. “As We Lie Still” will open at CTD on Sept. 28 and will run through Nov. 30.

Dallas actor Michael Robinson in “As We Lie Still.” Emile, who wrote the book. Dallas’ Michael Robinson is recreating his role from the original Off-Broadway production and Olivia recreates hers as well. The show made its OffBroadway premiere at the New York Film Festival to engaged audiences. According to acclaimed Dallas director Michael Serrecchia, the cast is
rehearsing longer than customary. “We are dedicating a full week to music because it is an incredible score; unique and haunting. It is very difficult music to learn and perfect.” Patrick added, “I have completely overhauled the show since its Off-Broadway run two years ago. It is much closer to a sung-through experience now,” the writer said. “‘As We Lie Still’ is written to be accessible for all sorts of audiences.” According to CTD’s managing director Miki Bone, “This is a musical that mediates reality and illusion, conscious and unconscious, life and death. Set in the early 1920s, this double-knotted love story is revealed through magician Avi Leitner’s quest for the one great illusion that will elevate his act.” Performances will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with Saturday and Sunday matinees. Serrecchia said, “This cast is different from the
Off-Broadway cast with two exceptions. The auditions were quite specific, casting had to balance the musical demands of the score and the physical demands of character and style of the piece. “Patrick and I share a very specific vision and artistic point of view for this show,” Serrecchia added. “Each actor who is cast brings a texture and tempo required for the storytelling. This is truly an ensemble piece. The ensemble plays many roles in different time periods and spheres of reality. I think this show has a real future in the world. I have been mesmerized since my first exposure to it and am committed to seeing it reach its potential.” In closing, Patrick added that if you’re interested in exploring New York in the early part of the 20th century, along with what it means to be a magician and what it is to be human, “Don’t blink, you might miss something.”

Anyway, as a public service, please note that the event is Friday, Sept. 30 from 6-9 p.m., and features beer, wine and food from some of the best DFW food trucks. Go ahead and “Pokémon Go!” if you must, just don’t trip over the pumpkins when trying to find Polliwag. You might hurt your gourd (or one of the thousands on the Arboretum grounds in time for fall).
LIFE ON THE TRAIL
Lose clutter to relieve stress
By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com
I couldn’t find my glasses in my house this morning. Unfortunately, I need my glasses to find my glasses. As I was frantically trolling through my house, I became painfully aware of clutter in every room. Piles of “stuff” cover almost every surface in the house. Recyclables are stacked on (and falling off) my dryer. Re-tracing my steps, I finally found my glasses on the floor in my junk/dog isolation room, where they must’ve fallen off my face (really!) last night. Apparently I was too tired to notice … Clutter and chaos add stress to your life. The average American spends 55 minutes per day (12 days per year) looking for things they own but can’t find. I feel Dr. Leermakers panicky when I can’t find my keys and I was supposed to be out the door five minutes ago. I’ve been so busy with work and transporting rescue dogs that I’ve let house cleaning fall by the wayside. I didn’t want the woman who came to my house to adopt a foster dog today to think I was a slob, so I started attacking my piles. Time to get organized! Flylady.net guides people through baby steps to set up routines, get rid of clutter and put their home and life in order. Weekly tasks help you accomplish these goals. So far, I haven’t gotten beyond week one’s assignment — shine your sink. This morning, after stashing 10 empty yogurt containers in the oven to deal with later, I scrubbed my kitchen counter and sink. I’m off and running … Many articles and books focus on strategies to help you organize your home and life. Here are a few tips from a behavioral perspective: • Don’t beat yourself up about the current disorganized state of your house/car/office. Criticizing myself for being a hopeless, out-of-control slob
doesn’t accomplish anything. Instead, I choose to explain my chaos by acknowledging that I have other priorities. I spend my valuable time and energy working and saving dogs. If this were the last day of my life, would I really care that my coffee table is covered by magazines? Not so much. I would care that I helped save six dogs from certain death at a full animal shelter. With the little time and energy I have left at the end of the day, I prefer to relax for a few minutes. • Having said that, I realize that you can’t ignore the state of your house/car/office forever without adding stress to your life. Acknowledge the consequences of being disorganized. I often have trouble finding important documents, keys, glasses and other items that are essential for daily functioning. • Break the decluttering task down into small chunks. Getting started is usually the hardest part, and it’s tough to begin when you feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the project. You may not be able to clear all the clutter in your house in one day, weekend or even week. However, you can tackle one small pile every day, setting a timer for five or 10 minutes and working steadily. If you’re on a roll when the buzzer sounds, keep going. If you’re not feeling it, it’s OK to stop. You’ve accomplished your goal. • Reward your efforts. Instead of rewarding yourself with something big — vacation! — when your house is completely organized (too far away in time), give yourself small treats as you go. If you enjoy watching a TV show or savoring a glass of wine, make yourself earn that treat. Spend 5-10 minutes decluttering before you relax. What small step will you take today to put your home or life in order?

MULL cont'd from page 1 the union and the players help you build up human capital. Those relationships don’t guarantee you that you are going to resolve whatever issues that you might have, but they are very useful in helping you get to an agreement, and I remain optimistic that we will get a deal with the players association.” The approachable Manfred, 57, and in his second year as commissioner, has been looking at ways to make the game more entertaining while maintaining the integrity so many fans appreciate. Recently, as pennant races heat up, more instant replay challenges have surfaced which can have a potential effect on the length of games. “Look, I think instant replay on balance has been an improvement to our product on the field,” Manfred said. “I think fans have a very fundamental desire to have us use available technologies to get important calls right. The trick is to make sure that what you are getting are the important calls, that it is not used too frequently and, when it’s used, the process is as brisk as it could possibly be. “We will continue to work during the off-season on changes on that process to make sure that it is as short as possible,” Manfred said. “You know, on average, a replay takes 1:42. If every replay was average, I don’t think people would have that much of an issue. It is the ones that run long that are the problems, and we have some ideas about how we might deal with that which we are going to kick around this offseason.” After struggling under previous ownership, the Texas Rangers have become one of baseball's strongest teams — economically and on the field — and Manfred has a theory. “I attribute that to strong local ownership. I think that Ray [Davis, co-chief executive officer of the Texas Rangers] and his partners have done a phenomenal job with this franchise. When it came time to repopulate the executive council when I was elected, one of the easiest names to write down on that list was Ray Davis. He has a really quiet way about him, but really thoughtful, sound judgment, good business sense. I can’t say enough good things.” A native of upstate New York, Manfred has stated publicly that he felt that league expansion from 30 to 32 teams was a worthy consideration. “I think baseball is a growth business and I think growth businesses generally look to expand,” Manfred said. “There are at least a couple of issues that need to be resolved before we will turn to that without any degree of seriousness. I think we need to get the new basic agreement done with the players association, and I do think it is really
important that both Tampa and Oakland resolve their stadium situations before we look to add two teams. “Neither place — but more acutely Oakland — has a major league quality facility,” Manfred said. “And we need to make sure we get those issues resolved before we start adding teams. I am a fan of Oakland as a major league market. I have told [Oakland A’s owners] John Fisher and Lew Wolff that I want them to focus on Oakland. I have no interest in taking the team out of Oakland.” While not wanting to address particular solutions because that is something that he is bargaining with the players about, Manfred said that matchups such as “lefty vs. lefty” or “righty vs. righty,” as they are known where a reliever is brought in to pitch to one specific batter, coupled with expanded rosters of minor league call-ups, has created a situation with September baseball that he is not “crazy about.” “We need to make some changes in that area,” Manfred said. “I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to play some of the most important games of the season in a mix that is very different in how we play most of the season.” Manfred said that despite some opposition among purists, baseball has changed over the years and will continue to change. And going forward, game changes can evolve or be thought through and enacted. “I do think we need to be more proactive on how change should be managed.” “I know people love to talk about the designated hitter,” Manfred said of the spot in the batting order that the American League has and the National League does not. “I really don’t mind where we are on the designated hitter for the simple reason that it is a defining characteristic between the two leagues ... maybe the most important one. And now that we operate as Major League Baseball and not just the National League and American League, those defining characteristics are important. I can live with the status quo.” Attracting a young fan base has been a key part of Manfred’s agenda since becoming the 10th commissioner of baseball. “There are two pieces to the youth thing. Participation in playing the game is number one on the list. But it is also important to make sure that we get kids into the ballpark and engaged with our game.” Crediting his background in labor relations, the frank and likeable Manfred said, “I try to be conversant on all of the issues facing the game. I think that back and forth dialogue can be effective in terms of making sure that we put the best product on the field for our fans.”

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Salute to refined Salum By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Since 2005, Salum, the restaurant, has reflected the quiet genius of Abraham Salum, the man who created and daily nurtures his eponymous eatery. Salum cossets a devoted customer base, which regards Salum as a personal spot for a sophisticated weekday lunch or artfully crafted dinner any evening but Sunday when the restaurant is closed. This hard-working chef-owner deserves his day of rest. The food is modern but not too far out. Grilled buffalo ribeye with fried chipotle sweet potatoes and local bean succotash (corn and blackeyed peas) reflects the comfortable, yet fashionable style at Salum, the Chico’s fashions of restaurants. It also reflects the chef’s heritage and experience. Born and raised in Mexico City, Chef Salum trained at the New England Culinary Institute. After graduation, he traveled to Belgium and France to cook and broaden his culinary knowledge and exposure. He came to Dallas in 2001 as a chef at Parigi. Cuisine at Salum is refined but not stuffy; eclectic yet never patchwork; fun without kitsch. Salum is a mirror into the soul of Abraham Salum. He upholds standards rather than following trends. Abri as he’s known strives for a restaurant as urbane as the Uptown and Park Cities neighborhoods it is an integral part of. The staff is attentive and well-educated about the food and wine list. Just as impressive, they remember the names and faces of regular patrons. Because the seasonal menu changes monthly, some of the dishes in this article may not be available but peruse whatever is to be had. You’ll find something as good or better and in sync with the season. Or go ahead and beg for an off-menu fave.

Buffalo ribeye (above) and Grouper crudo (below).
No doubt Abraham and staff will do their best to fulfill your request. Just as the ribeye reflects the melding of his heritage and adopted home with its robust flavors and hearty portioning, grouper crudo expresses the art and attention to detail that also characterizes the food at Salum. Transparent, thin slices of snow white, sparkling fresh grouper are arranged with similarly delicate sheets of radish and tiny wedges of grape tomatoes.

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH
megan@thelyonsshare.org We all know that vegetables are healthy, but how many servings of vegetables do you actually eat per day? According to the Center for Disease Control, only one in 10 Americans eats enough vegetables daily. Many people are shocked to hear that I eat 8-12 servings of vegetables Megan Lyons per day and encourage my clients to strive for a similar intake. After all, vegetables are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet and can help you feel more energized, get sick less often, resist chronic diseases and cravings for less healthy foods. If one of your goals is to include more vegetables in your daily diet, it can sometimes seem daunting. How do you find time to prepare so many vegetables? Aside from dinner, where can you sneak in extra veggies? What if you’re at work in the afternoon, how do you get vegetables in then? If you have asked yourself any of
these questions, I’ve got a simple solution for you. Each Sunday, I put together seven “veggie packs,” one per day for the following week. A veggie pack is simply a Ziploc baggie (or Tupperware container, mason jar or other portable container) full of raw vegetables. I enjoy snap peas, jicama sticks, mini bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, celery, baby carrots and cucumbers, but any vegetables will do. In fact, it is best to choose two or three per week and rotate when possible, to provide your body with a rotation of nutrients and to keep things interesting for yourself. The veggie pack sounds simple (and it is), but the effect is dramatic. Most of us simply wouldn’t make time to chop up fresh vegetables each afternoon, but if they are already ready to go, we are likely to grab them. In fact, I often tell myself that I cannot have any other snack until I enjoy my veggie pack for the day. It ensures that I get in an extra serving or two of vegetables, that my blood sugar stays stable throughout the afternoon, and that I don’t mindlessly munch on office snacks or hit the vending machine. My clients have been amazed at how easy veggie packs are to prepare and how much they helped stave off cravings for other foods! I highly recommend pairing your
veggie pack with some source of healthy fat, both because fat is satiating (which means it will keep you full for longer) and because fat-soluble nutrients (like vitamins A, D, E and K) require some healthy fat to be properly absorbed. I often drizzle a teaspoon or two of olive oil or avocado oil in my veggie pack and sprinkle it with some sea salt. Otherwise, I recommend pairing your veggie pack with two tablespoons of guacamole or hummus (check to ensure that the ingredients all look like real food rather than chemicals), serving it with a small handful of nuts (about 15 almonds), or pairing it with an olive tapenade or a serving of olives. (I like the shelf-stable tapenade packets at bit.ly/ olivedipin and the olive packets at bit.ly/ olivepackets.) So, what are you waiting for? Challenge yourself to make (and eat) your veggie packs this week!

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week is likely to see many individuals counting down in some way, eager to see the arrival of a certain date or a certain time when everything is likely to change — dramatically and for the better. That which is eagerly anticipated may not be happening anytime soon, but it is certainly important enough to be in the spotlight well ahead of time, and everyone will be eagerly awaiting events that can only result in a large quantity of good for everyone concerned. It may feel to some that a long period of dormancy is coming to an end at last, that a long emotional drought is ending, that a shroud of uncertainty is about to be lifted. All of this is certainly true, for the perception makes the reality.

candace@candysdirt.com I want to introduce you to the best little secret street in Preston Forest: Caladium Drive. It's not quite visible from Preston Road, if you hunt for the "flower power" streets that criss-cross Preston like a finely tuned grid. The reason is that Caladium Drive dead ends at the Preston Forest shopping center on the southwest corner. Which means that if your dog has to go to the vet, you can pop on a leash and walk them over. Or if you want food, you can walk. Out of cotton balls and Q-tips? Jog on over to Ulta — done. Be brave and cross Preston at the light and the delicacies of the southeast shopping center are at your toes, including Whole Foods. In other words, flower-power street Caladium Drive may well be the most walkable street in North Dallas. “I think this neighborhood is still in discovery phase, with the lots just being discovered,” Lance Hancock of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate's Hewitt & Habgood Group said. “There are new homes and serious remodels everywhere, but this home stands as one of the last true mid-centuries, and in more than mint condition.” It has not even come on the market yet: 5824 Caladium Drive. "One of the qualities I enjoy when visiting my friends at Caladium [Drive] is the private feeling I get while sitting in the living room, almost like being in an Arizona spa," Hancock said. "Looking to the outside of the house

courtyards for privacy and walls of glass, allowing the peace of early evening to fill the home as night settles around the crisp landscape beyond, the glittering pool and fountains are like jewels." In 1956, Harwood K. Smith architect James Clutts built 5824 Caladium Drive as his personal home. He lived in the home for ten years. Later, he was brought back to the property by the new owners (who bought from him) to create a garage conversion, turning the garage he built into a large family room. The current owners, essentially the third family to live in this house, brought the home into a fully functioning 21st century mode — new wiring, plumbing, gas lines, heat and air, mechanicals, roof, pool, even the backyard turf — but maintained the home's mid-century roots. This was done by very thoughtful selection and preservation of materials. In fact, with the exception of the charging station for electric cars in the carport, the home almost appears to be a time capsule. The home was purchased sight unseen by the current owners. There has been an increase in recent years of buyers finding a property on line, then nabbing it, especially given our hot market. In
this case. the owners, a physician and a PhD researcher, were living in California, relocating to Dallas and UT Southwestern. They had lost out on another home, so wasted no time in getting 5824 Caladium Drive wrapped and sealed right from the web. If you get a familiar feeling looking at this house, it may be because you attended a private school in Dallas: Clutts' talent and his association with Smith put him in at the design helm of some important buildings around Dallas. His imprint can be found on the Hockaday School, St Michaels and All Angels Episcopal Church (ESD lower school), the Music building and Recital Hall at the University of North Texas, and others. "What blew me away was seeing his style reflected in these other buildings and also in Caladium," Hancock said. "I think the Caladium house always resonated with me in a way that I couldn't quite connect until I read that Clutts had been an architect at St. Michaels. Then it all feel into place." The home has four bedrooms, three full and one half baths, formals and a recreation room. Or, as we used to say in the '50s, a "rec room". It packs a ton into 2,996 square feet. You enter into the formal living area with vaulted ceiling, the formal dining separated by a floating Danish wood cabinet with shelves.
The fireplace is original brick. The kitchen is long, narrow and efficient, with a breakfast room at one end. The family room is off the kitchen, with open cathedral ceiling. From the Chevy to the Tesla: The attached carport is pure vintage until you see the discreet electric car outlets. The master is incredible, vaulted ceiling, open to a private meditation garden. The master bath is completely knocked out with walk-in shower, huge soaking tub, dual vanities and tons of storage space. Each additional bedroom features the same walls of glass onto the spacious back-yard and pool. I love so much about this house, but I am just ga-ga over the flooring: original hardwoods, terrazzo, parquet in the living and polished brick. Of course the updated baths are tile. A rare find is 5824 Caladium
Drive, the home as rare as the location, a 110-wide by 146-foot-deep lot loaded with trees. The backyard is a sea of turf that looks like velvet — no watering, fertilizing or weed whacking. Priced at $850,000, this vintage treasure remains true to its '56 origins with state-of-the-art updates in a sea of remodels and new construction where dirt is trading for a minimum of $600,000. Agents tell me this is only the beginning: Just wait until Valley View transforms into Scott Beck's Midtown Dream ... the sky may not even be the limit.

HAMMER AND NAILS
Sunroom beats fall gloom By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com It’s that time again. The days are getting shorter and the air cooler. Colorful leaves and scenery will soon surround us, and in Texas, we all know how giddy we get when the temperature just drops below 80. Well, I’ve already mentioned in my previous article about pergolas, which are basically an outdoor extension of Stephan Sardone the home. I’d like to stay along those same lines, but rather focus on an actual room: the fall sunroom. Not only will you want to soak up any daylight you have in the fall and winter, but you will want to enjoy the outdoors without necessarily freezing or facing the cold bite of the wind. There’s a lot you can do with a sunroom in the fall. First, make sure to do any repairs on the roof, gutters or windows. You don’t want any major leaks happening during the cold, rainy months. Do a thorough clean up if you didn’t use the room all summer, just to get it ready for a fresh season. Super cleaning isn’t reserved just for spring!
As the colors outside start changing, so should your upholstery and color scheme in general. Consider switching out the greens and yellows for some more neutral browns and dark oranges. You’ll want to incorporate warm window treatments to trap in some heat but also ones that don’t cover up the beauty of the outdoors. While you’re at it, think about incorporating a window seat, as they always bring an air of charm, comfort and ease to a space. Make sure to add warmth in the details and throw around some cozy pillows and blankets. Specifically, try a blanket ladder, where you can display your favorite quilts and throw blankets, or bring in your grandmother’s antique trunk and fill it with cozy covers. This space should be used as a lounge for the fall. This means a comfortable setting where anyone can escape to for a good read and a cup of coffee. In fact, consider installing a coffee bar that can double later as a mini bar. Put down a comfortable area rug for the kids to sprawl out after dinner and a large built-in bookcase where you can also store DVDs and games. Not only can this room be used for mom and dad’s anniversary getaway, but it can be the ideal spot for family game nights, movies or even football Sunday. What better way to watch the game than somewhat outdoors? I recommend you install a large, roll down projector screen for everyone to gather and watch those

Sunrooms can brighten up an otherwise gloomy room. Sunday games. As I mentioned, this would be a great way to incorporate family game night or family movie night. For those particularly cold nights, bring out a space heater or add an electric fire place, as they are easy to purchase and install. If you have a fireplace already on the adjoining wall, open it up into the sunroom, creating a double-sided fireplace that truly connects the two parts of the home. This will also add some cozy lighting for a relaxing evening or a romantic one. Or you can hang up some simple twinkling Christmas lights along the top of the
walls or antique lanterns for a more vintage feel. Whatever you do, just be sure to keep it warm, not too bright or alerting. As a family man, I am all about creating spaces for my family and friends to gather. This year, utilize your sunroom or build one (it’s not too late!) where everyone can gather to watch the Macy’s Parade or hang out and watch some good ole holiday classics. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘The Magnificent Seven’ is fraught with gratuitous violence
By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
It’s safe to assume that nobody would expect director Antoine Fuqua’s “The Magnificent Seven” remake to be a hot take on modern American ethnic relations. This updated version of the 1960 classic drops the brown face (poor Eli Wallach) and makes seven antiheroes of varying backgrounds the saviors of a tiny California mining town just before the turn of the century. There are two ways to look at this racial hodgepodge: It’s great that they all work together and barely acknowledge their differences or it’s completely unbelievable that nary a word is mentioned about said differences. What’s life like for Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington) to be a black man riding around as a bounty hunter in the late 1870s? How did a smooth talking southerner like Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke) and a knife wielding Asian such as Billy Rocks (Byunghun Lee) become such good pals? Fuqua may know that most of the butts in the seats aren’t interested in a sociological study about the Old West. Instead, the screenplay from Richard Wenk and Nic Pizzolatto (he of “True Detective” fame) walks the line between buddy comedy and western action-thriller while almost ignoring anything that requires thought in favor of a shocking amount of violence.
Photos courtesy of Columbia Pictures
Denzel Washington (middle) and other actors of today are lined-up in the remake of "The Magnificent Seven." The movie begins with the town of Rose Creek under siege by the corrupt gold mine entrepreneur, Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard). Bogue offers to buy the Rose Creek resident’s land for pennies on the dollar, burns down a church and begins randomly killing folks just for saying mean things to him. One of those now dead Rose Creek resident’s widow, Emma (Haley Bennett), decides to hire some people to stop Bogue from taking over their town. Emma meets Chisolm after he serves a warrant in a bar (featuring the most Pizzolatto-y dialogue of the entire
movie) and once she mentions Bogue, he’s interested. Chisolm knows he’ll need some help here and begins recruiting. He enlists Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), a drunken, slick talking poker player who has the appearance of a guy that constantly lets his mouth get him into trouble. Chisolm also asks for help from Goodnight, who he has known for quite some time, and Billy. Along the way, the gang hooks up with a high-pitch voiced mountain man, Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), a Comanche, Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier), and a Mexican outlaw, Vasquez (Manuel
Garcia-Rulfo). What Fuqua’s “The Magnificent Seven” lacks in character development, it makes up for with a fairly raucous finale that leaves hundreds dead. Much of the violence is up close and personal, yet the edits and camerawork avoid what would surely be blood-soaked deaths. Sometimes in movies like this, it’s easy to predict who’s going to make it to the end credits and who is not. In this case, Wenk and Pizzolatto show no fear in taking out any characters they see fit, no matter the star power of who is playing them. As far as those stars, most are
perfectly cast. However, the normally reliable Peter Sarsgaard is flat out horrendous. He speaks like a southern preacher with an Adderall addiction with constantly fluttering eyelids. Sarsgaard really “villains out” here and it’s incredibly odd. Chris Pratt’s patented snark has a bit more edge and evil to it and he and Denzel Washington, who is definitely not playing “Denzel,” share some high quality on screen chemistry. Vincent D’Onofrio’s eccentricities are perfect as the falsetto speaking Bible thumper. But if Fuqua was to make a movie about any specific characters, it should be Ethan Hawke’s Goodnight Robicheaux and Byunghun Lee’s Billy Rocks. Their back story is criminally ignored and is easily the most intriguing aspect of “The Magnificent Seven.” Hawke and Lee instantly give off a brotherly love vibe without any history, which is only a testament to the skills these two actors possess. There hasn’t been a fan club movement or online petition regarding a “The Magnificent Seven” remake and this movie doesn’t make the remake trend suddenly seem like a great idea. However, it’s extremely well made, beautifully shot and provides solid escapist entertainment for two hours. Besides, who could possibly not want to watch Denzel Washington ride a horse while firing a six shooter?

Presidential nominees will square off on Monday, Sept. 26, in the first of three televised debates.
By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net During her Emmy acceptance speech — after winning for a fifth consecutive year as best lead actress in a comedy series — “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus apologized Ed Bark semi-seriously for “the current political climate.” “I think that ‘Veep’ has torn down the wall between comedy and politics,” she said. “Our show started out as a political satire, but it now feels more like a sobering documentary. So I certainly do promise to rebuild that wall — and make Mexico pay for it.” Or to put it another way, imagine Hunter S. Thompson transported back to the here and now to unleash his acid-penned “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail” dispatches on the unbridled showdown between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Perhaps he’d encounter more writer’s block than usual — because how does one escalate this political warfare beyond what it’s been for a seeming eternity? But we’ve only just begun, in a sense. Because on Monday, Sept. 26, Trump and Clinton will square off in the first of their three scheduled presidential debates. Will it in fact draw a larger audience than Super Bowl 50 did? There seems to be a pretty good chance of that, given the stakes and the personalities in play. The Denver Broncos’ win over the Carolina Panthers had 111,860,000 viewers nationally on just one network (CBS). Trump-Clinton, moderated by “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt, will air on ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, C-SPAN, CNBC, Univision and Telemundo, according to the latest available listings. Cable’s The Movie Channel will counter-program the debate with “The Manchurian Candidate,” which perhaps is fitting but not much of a match anymore for the bizarre goings-on in this election year. Trump, for his part, has proclaimed all of the debates to be “rigged” because moderators will treat him “very, very unfairly” after Matt Lauer was ripped in some quarters for allegedly going too easy on the Republican nominee during NBC’s recent “Commander-In-Chief ” forum.
The lot of the moderator has never been an easy one. But Holt’s task may be more daunting than getting an actual admission of wrongdoing by one of Trump’s or Clinton’s hand puppet TV “surrogates.” The first presidential debate may well “break” Twitter with the sheer volume of Tweets, the great majority of them polarized and unbendable. Holt will be in the vortex of all this. He’ll no doubt try to be eminently fair, but is that even possible in the current climate? It no doubt will go down as the most intense 90 minutes of his life before he passes the baton to ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper for the Oct. 9 “town hall” format debate, and Fox’s Chris Wallace for the Oct.19 finale. No one has done more presidential debates than Jim Lehrer, who during a 2007 interview with your friendly correspondent said he’d had enough after moderating 10 of them. “I don’t want to do any more debates,” Lehrer said unequivocally. “I’ve done my duty for my country. I’ve done 10 of those things, and they’re scorching to the soul. So I’d just as soon not do any more.” But he nevertheless succumbed in 2008 and again in 2012, when “social media” naysayers and pundits such as MSNBC’s Chris Matthews sharply criticized him for letting the debate drift and failing to “impose himself ” on President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney. “People sitting out there want the moderator to yell ‘liar!’ It ain’t gonna happen,” Lehrer told The Washington Post earlier this month. In 2012, Lehrer also wrote a book, “Tension City” on the history of televised presidential debates, including his own reminiscences on walking “down the blade of a knife” as moderator. Given the current political climate, Holt might as well be juggling with live hand grenades. Any candidate “gaffes” will be sliced, diced and skewered ad nauseum. But more than ever before, the moderator also will be in the crosshairs. The “prestige” of having done one of these seems like a large price to pay in return for whatever recriminations are coming Holt’s way from a likely Super Bowl-sized audience of mostly polar opposites.

And when we were first open, that was very important because the culture and the landscape was very much different than it is today. People weren’t inclusive.” Honea, a Michigan native, and her first husband Richard (a former restaurant manager who passed away) took over an abandoned building that was known for years as the first home to Herrera’s Mexican restaurant. Herrera’s moved up the street and the odd looking pink building shaped like an adobe hut was boarded up and had become a destination for the destitute. Initially, Honea wanted to open a wine bar with a unique twist. “We wanted to open a wine bar where you could listen to Alice in Chains,” Honea said. Hence the name The Grapevine Bar, although Honea admits it also has something to do with a town located between Dallas and Fort Worth to serve as a memory cue. She also learned that you can't force a concept on your clientele. It must evolve and change.

JaxBros and DJ Tyrone Smiley and a food truck. The theme of the party is “Celebrating 20 years in Wonderland! If Alice had a bar, this would be it.” While maintaining a staff of “managers” that rarely change — The Grapevine Bar has survived a pickup truck backing full speed from Maple Avenue and landing onto a patron’s (and relative’s) car in front of the place, a fight between a monkey and a macaw, hundreds of successful and unsuccessful three point shots hoisted toward the basketball hoop in the back — this unique establishment goes on. After all, anything goes.
SOLUTION TO THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE Photo by David Mullen
basketball court is included, seems like strange bedfellows with the magnificent Old Parkland compound across the street. But Honea maintains that they are great neighbors and that despite the rapid and rampant development in the immediate area, The Grapevine Bar is there to stay. generations of native wildlife, not horses nor cattle. A few environmental organizations have used the visibility of the horse cull to bring attention to cattle grazing on the BLM land which contributes to environmental damage. In the 14 years since that question was asked of me, and many more interviews, I continually try to devise a better answer to the question. As time goes on, the line between right and wrong becomes more difficult. We made many past mistakes, and now we’re left trying to patch together a solution.

Arguably, there is no more diverse bar in Dallas. Men in suits may swap stories with men in dresses. The lack of a food kitchen means the bar logically opens at 3 p.m. with the exception of noon on Sunday. At any given time, all people are linked harmoniously at The Grapevine Bar bonded by one principle ... to have fun. “People go, are you a gay bar?” Honea said. “Are you a straight bar? We are an everybody bar, as long as — like the front door says – you check your attitude at the door.” On Saturday, Sept 24 from 3 p.m.-2 a.m., The Grapevine Bar will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a party featuring music by
