Drenched in melted butter, with mustard on your nose, you strategize the closest route to Ms. Ruth’s Big Tex Choice winning Fried Jell-O. Earlier you accomplished the rituals of deciding how many layers to wear; umbrella or not; sneakers or flip-flops, and then you wondered what you forgot to bring to the State Fair of Texas. Later, in your powdered sugar covered T-shirt, you stop by Jack’s French (Frys) Fries to savor the deliciously greasy little guys, while waiting in line for your second Fletcher’s of the day. After all, it’s the once-a-year when everyone who’s anyone looks forward to the decadence — with enough sugar and fats to provide six months’ recommended daily allowance. But inside the cozy, iconic Magnolia Lounge, tucked away in the historic Magnolia building at Fair Park, is former

City Councilman Craig Holcomb, who stays cool or warm and dry by choice in his quiet office, “Far from the madding crowd” (sic Thomas Hardy, 1874). To be fair about the Fair, Holcomb said that he does visit two or three times each year. Parking must be a dream! Holcomb is executive director of Friends of Fair Park (FOFP), a quiet but powerful volunteer organization branded as, “Citizens who care about the Park’s past, present and future.” Actually, Holcomb himself can be described the same way, “quiet but powerful.” The organization was formed in 1980 with high expectations. Holcomb took over the position in 1990. Throughout those 25 years, FOFP has raised almost $15 million, including $712,335 from the Meadows Foundation and Texas Instruments Foundation to provide all the museums with their wish CITIZENS cont'd on page 11

Akard Street in downtown Dallas, said. “And young people today have been exposed to so many different cultures and food, whether it is Indian food or Chinese food or
Mexican food; they have been exposed to spicy foods. And if you are older and your stomach can take it, your taste buds go and say ‘you need some spice in your life.’ So I am trying to figure out how to create something done with humor and something that tastes good. And I think we have accomplished that.” Just recently introduced under the “Forgetful Ned’s” name, McGarr has created the “F.N. Hot” brand. So far, a medium and hot salsa, a Marinara sauce and a Habanero jelly are available. As far as the Habanero jelly goes “do not put it on your face,” McGarr said. He recommends a slice of cheese and a Ritz cracker. All labels have a thermometer that measures intensity from “so hot you’ll forget your … keys or ex or anniversary or pants or name.” There are also clever messages, including a reminder to “wash your hands before going to the

She documented the fair for 10 years, visiting nearly every day during its three-week sessions from 1984 to 1993. Her striking black and white photographs capture Fair

D. Roosevelt’s children Anna and James, as well as badges, buttons and brochures dating to the first State Fair of Texas in 1886. Many of these are from the George W. Cook Dallas/Texas Image Collection.
The free exhibit runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, through Dec. 16 at the new Hillcrest Foundation Exhibit Hall in SMU's Fondren Library, 6414 Robert S. Hyer Lane. Items in the exhibit are from SMU's DeGolyer Library. SMU libraries also are home to other unique Texana items, including those from the 1936 Texas Centennial, which replaced the State Fair of Texas that year with a six-month event at the newly built Fair Park in Dallas. Images from the 1936 scrapbook of Lucille Robinson, a young woman clearly enthralled with the Fair Park exhibit, is part of the Jerry Bywaters Special Collections at SMU's Hamon Arts Library.

Fat burning meal hacks easy By Turner Cavender
david@katytrailweekly.com The western Pennsylvania town of Latrobe has been noted for many things throughout the years. Despite small in population and area, the town of cascading green hills and friendly, blue collar workers has quite a history, such as: • It may have been home to the first professional football game. In 1895, the Latrobe Athletic Association beat the Jeannette Athletic Club 12-0. Latrobe quarterback John Brailier received $10 to play in what some believe is technically the first professional football game in America. Most credit Canton, Ohio as the birthplace of professional football, although Latrobe beat the Canton Bulldogs 6-0 in 1905. • Latrobe is home to the banana split. In 1904, David Strickler, an apprentice pharmacist at Tassel Pharmacy on Ligonier Street, invented sundaes at the store’s soda fountain, which included one with a split banana, three scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. • It is the home of Saint Vincent’s College, noted as the training camp for the nearby Pittsburgh Steelers. • It was the adopted home of everyone’s famous sweater-wearer, Mr. (Fred) Rogers. He is buried in Latrobe. • Latrobe was the birthplace of Latrobe Brewing Company and, in 1939, Rolling Rock premium beer. For decades, the beer featured on the back of the bottle these words: “Rolling Rock. From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you. ’33.’” Anheuser Busch bought Rolling Rock in 2006, shut down Latrobe Brewing and moved

Arnold Palmer, 1929-2016. production to Newark, N.J. • I t is the birthplace of golfing legend Arnold Palmer. For 13 years, I headed the agency group that did the marketing for Rolling Rock in the U.S. I made several visits to Latrobe, and many times ended up at Latrobe Country Club, which Palmer owned and his father had worked for decades. No one represented the charm, ethics and hard work of Latrobe better than Palmer. Before he was the “King” of golf, he was the “King” of Latrobe. Palmer changed the perception of golf within the masses. It was a “rich man’s sport” played at country clubs by the highbrow and the inaccessible. Palmer had “Arnie’s Army,” a gallery full of ardent fans that would follow him around every hole of the golf course. I was part of that army a few times, most notably when I followed Palmer in his final round at Augusta National. Despite his advancing age, he lit up the gallery. We were in awe. Make no mistake, Palmer was one of the greatest golfers of all time. He won 62 PGA titles, including seven majors. Only the PGA Championship eluded him. But Palmer made the game approachable, with such skill and because of his humble roots. It helped that Palmer had an awkward

— albeit highly effective — swing that humanized him. It also helped that television was starting to discover golf and Palmer was televised golf’s first star. In a published report, Tiger Woods said: “Arnold meant everything to golf. Are you kidding me? I mean, without his personality in conjunction with TV — it was just the perfect symbiotic growth. You finally had someone who captured this charisma, and they captured it on TV for the very first time. Everyone got hooked to the game of golf via TV because of Arnold.” Palmer had his nemesis in Jack Nicklaus who he battled for years. Having a strong opponent makes for great television. He also revolutionized sports marketing of television with endorsements (among others) of Hertz, Rolex, Cadillac, Callaway, United Airlines and Pennzoil. Who could forget the old red tractor in the commercials? He designed hundreds of golf courses. He co-founded the Golf Channel. He played golf with presidents, and then stopped to give a child an autograph. Heck, he even had a drink named after him. His charm, likeability and talents made him TV’s first sports legend, and it all started in the little town of Latrobe. Arnold Palmer died Sunday in western Pennsylvania at 87.

Celebrating the month of great brewing
By Ryann Gordon
ryannbgordon@yahoo.com It’s officially October, and we all know what that means — beer, bier and more bière. Craft brews, pilsners, wheat beer, dark beer, light beer, one beer, two beer, red beer, blue beer … you get the idea. October is a beer enthusiast’s favorite month of the year, and luckily for us Dallasites, we’ve got endless options for getting our brew on in the local area. So if you didn’t spend your summer kicked back on a patio sipping a cool, refreshing Dallas Blonde or Blood & Honey, then this is your month to do so. DFW has become well-known in the brewing scene, with many breweries from some of our popular favorites to new, lesser-known gems continuously popping up all around the Metroplex. Whether you’re in downtown Dallas or all the way in Fort Worth, in south Dallas or clear up to Garland or Grapevine, DFW has limitless destinations for you to experience the craft brew scene during this most beer-ful month of the year. We’ve got large brewing companies, brew houses, brew pubs and tap houses galore; we’ve got the brewskis to make your heart sing “Hey
Baby” along with the rest of the polka dancing Oktoberfest crowds; and we want you and your bro-dogs to share a brew-dog with us. The hardest part about choosing a brew house to go to is deciding where to start — so how about try them all? Obviously that would be a nearly impossible task to do in just a month, but we’ve got a place for you to start. DFW is home to some of Texas’ most famous brewing companies, such as Deep Ellum Brewing Company just near downtown Dallas, well-known for their Deep Ellum IPA and Dallas Blonde, which you can sip on from their patio or taproom any day of the week. Each Saturday Deep Ellum Brewing Co. has their open house as well, from noon to 3 p.m., where you can pay $15 for a glass and three redeemable beer tickets. Other famous brew houses in the area include: Revolver Brewing in Granbury, where the Dallas favorite Blood & Honey is produced, which holds brewery tours every Saturday at noon for $10. Lakewood Brewing Company out of Garland is known for their bold beers inspired by local legends, and they offer free brewery tours every Saturday and Sunday, along with their taproom and beer garden that
is now open seven days a week. Community Beer Company has a taproom open Wednesday through Saturday each week, where you can enjoy their North Texas renowned Mosaic IPA, along with many other inventive, finely crafted stouts, from the Design District just outside of downtown Dallas. If you’re looking to stay close to home (downtown/Uptown that is), Peticolas Brewing Company in the Design District can be toured on the first and third Saturday of each month, along with Bishop Cider Co., where you can take a free tour each Saturday at 12:30 p.m. and sample 10-12 different ciders at their cidery in the Design District. Four Corners Brewing Co. in Trinity Groves holds regular Saturday tours, and they have a new, all-day alehouse open to visit each day of the week, as well as Texas Ale Project and Noble Rey Brewing. And we can’t forget about Braindead Brewing in Deep Ellum, one of the downtown area’s most established brewpubs, open daily from 11-2 a.m. You can find more breweries and brewpubs on every side of DFW, from Grapevine Craft Brewery and 3 Nations Brewing both located in Farmers Branch to Cobra Brewing in Lewisville; Bitter Sisters out of Addison;

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Modern Market rolls in from Boulder
By Sara Newberry
Founded in 2009 by two Boulder, Colo. residents, Modern Market is one of the several out-of-state chains that has opened a location in the wildly popular Preston Hollow Village shopping center. Modern Market’s philosophy is based on Michael Pollan’s advice: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” They want to provide restaurant meals that satisfy but also make diners feel good afterwards. For the most part, they succeed. The menu is a mix of salads, sandwiches and pizzas, with a few entrée plates and breakfast options as well, with vegetarian and meat-friendly options of each. Pizzas range from a traditional pepperoni to more creative seasonal versions. I tried the bacon and corn pizza, which was this summer’s seasonal choice. Bacon and corn are natural partners, with the sweetness of the corn and the saltiness of the bacon complementing each other. The cheese’s nutty flavor rounded it out. A prosciutto and pear pizza was also tasty, but not quite as satisfying. The prosciutto was left in large pieces, so I basically had three bites with it, which left me with a pear and arugula pizza. The crust on both pizzas was thin and crisp, but had so much flour on the bottom that I don’t recommend it if you’re wearing dark clothes. A chicken basil sandwich suffered a similar fate to the pizza. The ingredients on their

The Flatiron Salad at Modern Market. own were all tasty, but the ratio was off. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked, but so small it got lost in the bread. The basil aioli was underwhelming — needed much more basil flavor. Breakfast dishes also vary, success-wise. A spinach and bacon scramble was well-seasoned and cooked; the eggs creamy and the bacon crisp. Roasted potatoes were fine but not very crisp. Chili + eggs features the green chile chicken stew, the restaurant’s signature soup. Unfortunately, ours had zero chicken in it. When we approached the open kitchen to ask if we were supposed to have chicken, we were told that we just got “a bad spoonful.” A second spoonful had a few morsels of chicken, but it was still pretty skimpy. Where Modern Market really succeeds are the salads. The Flatiron is topped with tender flank steak, blue cheese and roasted potatoes
and tomatoes. I wanted more when I was finished with it, not because it was not a generous serving — it was — but because the elements were all so tasty both individually and together that I didn’t want to stop eating it. The meatless Wintergreen was just as satisfying, topped with dates, goat cheese and Granny Smith apples. I’ll definitely go back for both of these. The atmosphere is modern and bright, with natural wood and the chain’s signature yellow throughout. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Modern Market is an excellent option for a healthy and satisfying lunch or dinner whether you’re a meat eater or prefer to stay on the veggie side of the menu.

There are several other parks in the area with camping opportunities. My recent favorite is Mineral Wells State Park, about two and a half hours west of Dallas. The park has standard camping with plenty of lakeside shade, screened in shelters (perfect if you don’t have a tent), RV campsites if you are the glamping kind, primitive campsites that are a 2.2 miles hike from your vehicle and equestrian campsites (sleepover with your horses). In addition to many camping options, you can fill your days with more than 12 miles of hiking trails, 20 miles of flat trail way, biking, boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming if the days are warm enough and, for the experienced adventurer, natural rock climbing. On the east side of the lake, Penitentiary Hollow is one of the few natural rock climbing areas in North Texas. Most people complain about the weather in Texas being too hot or too cold, but in the next few weeks you have no excuse to not get outside. The weather is going to be fantastic, the parks are nearby and you don’t need many supplies.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see many individuals embroiled in one confusing situation after another — for the simple reason that they are not willing to ask basic, simple questions that might yield marginally uncomfortable or awkward answers. Indeed, the culprit here is assumption — anyone who makes decisions based on nothing but assumptions truly deserves what he or she gets! It is quite possible to progress, untangle knots and clear the air, but it will require everyone to face facts that may be uncomfortable, though only for a very short time. Those who feel that it is worth that risk to deal in hard facts and solid truths will surely have the advantage and can score victory after victory, day after day. Those who have a weakness for conspiracy theories may find themselves flying high, but everyone must keep in mind that the higher one flies, the farther one eventually falls. Once the truth is revealed, that fall is all but guaranteed for those who have peddled bizarre fabrications of any kind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) Unfavorable circumstances may abound. Instead of getting mad about them, do something; take charge! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You may have to think long and hard to determine the significance of a surprise announcement. Be ready for change.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Targeted efforts can certainly be effective, but you must turn your back on those who favor a blanket approach. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You may not have the technical skills you need to push forward an organized effort, but with the right help, you can acquire them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You're after a certain experience that can only be had by following one particular course. Are you ready for it? (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You can follow your dreams directly to the threshold of accomplishment — provided you are accompanied by someone who inspires you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) A group effort may bring you the results you seek, but the process itself will take a toll. You may want to avoid this method in the future. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Anyone who tells you that satisfaction is guaranteed is not to be trusted. You want someone to speak the truth to you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) Some may wonder about your methods and motives, but you will be able to get the support you need when you need it. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You'll want help from

SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 6, 2016
By Candy Evans
candace@candysdirt.com Going, going, gone! After three years on the high end market, which is a tad bit soft, 3756 Armstrong Ave. sold in a matter of minutes Tuesday afternoon for $4.95 million (including buyer’s premium). It was one of Heritage Auction’s finest moments … a cherished one family home, that family is now ready to turn the keys over to another. There was no reserve on this auction, but the bidding started at $3 million. Auctions are one of the more exciting times in real estate, and we will be seeing more. If you haven’t been, you should totally go. Of course, you would know all about them if you read and subscribed to CandysDirt.com. Who bought 3756 Armstrong Ave.? Get thee over to my blog, sign up, set up and I will be right there! 3756 Armstrong Ave. is one of the most architecturally significant homes ever built in Dallas. Located on the delicious juncture of two magnificent Highland Park streets, Armstrong and Overhill, the home was a commissioned private residence for Jack and Nancy Penson, highly loved Dallas philanthropists. Mr. and Mrs. Penson’s names are on the Meyerson Symphony Center’s Endowment Wall of Honor, recognition to their longtime support of the orchestra, and an athletic complex is named after them at The Hockaday School. Mrs. Penson died in 2012, her husband in 2014. Built in 1954, the 8,900-squarefoot estate was the creation of O’Neil Ford, known as the grand-

This home is located at 3756 Armstrong Ave. and was sold at auction for $4.95 million.
Candace Evans father of Texas
Modernism and widely recognized as one of Texas’ most celebrated 20th century architects. O’Neil Ford designed most of the University of Dallas campus in Irving; Braniff Memorial Tower, the Braniff Graduate Center, the Gorman Lecture Center, parts of the art village, the Haggar University Center, and the Haggerty Science Building. San Antonio, his home base, is covered in his work: the renovation of La Villita, the campus of Trinity University, the campus of Saint Mary’s Hall, the University of Texas at San Antonio Main Campus, and the Tower of the Americas. He also created buildings for Skidmore College in upstate New York and for Texas Instruments. O’Neil Ford completed the design of the building of the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville in the Texas Hill Country, shortly before his death in 1982. His sturdy structures always utilized brick, glass and wood, and were brilliantly attuned to their physical settings. I have been in this home. The attention to detail and craftsmanship will simply blow your mind. If you are a mid-century aficionado, this home is your mothership. The home has been listed, as we told you, at a high of $7.5 and then later reduced to the current appraisal
of $6.1 million for the land. That means the 8,900 square feet of living space created by the grandfather of Texas Modernism is basically FREE! Agents tell me they believe the master bath alone holds $1 million in marble. Surrounded by trophy properties such as the estate of Jerry Jones, Troy Aikman, and other Dallas movers and shakers, many wonder why this trophy home with so much architectural significance has not yet sold on the open market. In fact, it is one of a handful of O’Neil Ford creations in our city. “When it was listed, a lot of buyers didn’t have the vision or expertise to realize they could buy it for lot value,” Greg Rohan, president of Dallas-based Heritage Auctions, said. “Then they could spend a couple of million dollars to return it to its original splendor.” At lot value plus a full restoration you could end up spending $8 million for a sprawling masterpiece on one of Highland Park’s most prized lots. At that price, it would be $17 million cheaper than the house across the street. Built for extreme privacy on one of Highland Park’s most exclusive streets, almost hidden by trees, mature landscaping surrounds the property. And the lot is a whopping
.85 acres, which itself appraised for $6.1 million back in February. The home has also been listed in the past for $5.9 million, but on September 27, our very own Heritage Auction Luxury Real Estate auctioned the Penson estate to the highest bidder. The house at 3756 Armstrong Ave. was built by Nancy and John G. “Jack” Penson, on land bought for them by Nancy’s mother, a descendent of the Penn Oil family. They commissioned Ford to build the home and lived in it their entire life. The home was not just a place for the family to enjoy, but it became quite the focal house for charity events and fundraising. Nancy Penn had gone east to college, to Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she met Jack Penson, a student at Harvard. Jack was from Long Island and worked for a bit on Wall Street. The couple moved back to Dallas in the 1950’s. That’s when they commissioned Ford, built the house and moved into it in 1954 to raise their three girls. One of the Penson daughters, Read Penson Gendler, said she never realized the architectural significance of the home, not until she was in college. The Penson house is so significant because it is one of O’Neil Ford’s first modern homes in Texas. Having outgrown Texas Colonialism, Ford
was leaning more modern. When another oil magnate, Fort Worth’ Sid Richardson and his nephew Perry Bass, commissioned Ford to design a house in South Texas (a private island retreat near Corpus Christi), Ford took the modern ball and ran, leaping into modernism.

Preparing your closet for fall By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Just like we cleaned out our closets for the spring and summer, now it’s time to switch it up. Although it may not get too cold here, even in the winter, our wardrobes still change. That means, it’s time for us to take some things out of storage and put some back up as well as revamp. First, don’t limit yourself to just a master bedroom closet renewal. Take a look at the kids’ closets, hall closets and maybe even the foyer closet. Ask yourself: Are they each getting good airflow? What are the problem areas? Where are clothes naturally gathering or falling off of hangers? Is there not enough drawer
space? Let’s look at each closet’s quirks and assess them for an update. Obviously, storage is the most important feature in any closet. It’s where we keep our favorite possessions and where we go every morning to set the day’s mood. In order to make use of every bit of space, install shelving from floor to ceiling and really think it through. Make sure you incorporate drawers, shelves, cabinets, shoe racks at appropriate heights and in unused corners. You want your most used items to be at eye level or conveniently placed for a rushed morning routine. One important word comes to mind: display. The closet isn’t necessarily a place to let your inner designer shine, though there are subtle ways you can do this. The best way is

TRAVEL
Japan could be your next great vacation spot
By Michael Wald
wald.world@yahoo.com Looking for the next place to visit? Japan is an excellent candidate. This travel destination has everything. The country extends far north and far south; you can find whatever climate Michael Wald you like. Seventy percent of Japan is THIS TRAVEL mountainous and, of DESTINATION HAS course, it has many beautiful beaches EVERYTHING. and lakes with its THE COUNTRY long coastline. Fuji EXTENDS FAR is a mountain climber’s challenge and NORTH AND FAR Japanese skiing is SOUTH; YOU CAN excellent. FIND WHATEVER People have shied away from CLIMATE YOU LIKE. Japan because of unjustified fears of radiation from its 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, but there is nothing to fear. Tokyo, Japan’s largest city, is a personal favorite, rivaling Paris. Much like New York City, it can be pricey, but not nearly as expensive as the rumors would have you believe, and you can find many bargains including cheap eats and lodging. Despite the conventional wisdom, hotels rooms are comparable to New York and very comfortable. You don’t sleep in a tube. Rooms frequently include all toiletries as
Americans can feel right at home with many of the retail options in Japan. well as robes, kimonos, bathing salts and fancy Japanese toilets. The toilets in Japan will thrill you. The Japanese are very technological. When western-style toilets were introduced many years ago, they took it a step further than anywhere else. There are so many buttons on the toilets that it’s difficult to know what they all do. The toilets usually have heated seats, flush and clean themselves. A built in bidet is a pushbutton away — and it probably has a sensor to prevent it from working when you’re not on the seat. Toilet paper and soap are usually provided at restrooms, which seem to exist everywhere and are free of charge. Towels sometimes don’t exist, but air dryers are abundant. Water is drinkable from the tap. The transportation systems are efficient and punctual. Japanese say they set their clocks by the trains.

You can find familiar chains such as McDonald’s and Subway alongside delicious and inexpensive ramen shops, sushi places and noodle bars, many of which display their dishes in plastic replicas with prices shown. Even if you don’t speak any Japanese, you can point to order. I was told credit cards are not widely used in Japan, but I did not find that to be an obstacle. Most tourist places accept them, although carrying yen is definitely a good idea in case you need cash. 7-Eleven’s exist on almost every corner, and the ATM machines there are the best place to get cash with a U.S. credit or debit card. Other stigmas are fiction too. The people aren’t all short; you won’t stick out. They are very friendly and welcoming. Their culture will have them bowing to you as a foreigner. Most tourists are from Korea or China, so it’s hard to know exactly who the tourists are. The
Japanese didn’t seem to take notice of nonAsians as they raced around à la Times Square. One anomaly is notable: Finding a trash can is difficult — due to anti-terrorism concerns, I was told — yet you don’t see trash around. Signs encourage people to take their trash home, and they do. It is an exceptionally clean society. In the temples, at homes and some restaurants you take your shoes off. Taxi cabs have linens on the seats that are washed and changed regularly. Cab drivers wear white gloves. The Japanese are very polite. The conductor on the railroad, the food cart operator and any other uniformed staff will turn to bow to the passengers before leaving the car. There is an abundant number of staff to offer assistance at every turn. Crime is so low that Japanese ladies feel safe walking in a park at night. Police stay in barely noticeable mini “police boxes” strategically located, but you rarely see them on the street. White gloved traffic assistants help guide drivers into spaces at public parking places, train and bus stations. Cars have steering wheels on the right, and the Japanese drive on the opposite side of the street. An abundance of English signage on the highways, transportation hubs and tourist sites help guide you. Although finding Japanese who speak English well is hard, at tourists’ sites English explanations accompany Japanese ones. The Japanese are actively seeking to build their tourist trade. Crowds are still very small compared to Europe. Beat the crowds that are sure to come by going now. Michael Wald is a travel specialist with special expertise in Panama adventure travel.

He told me that my PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) score was slightly elevated. It came back at 4.6 and the high end of the scale is 4.0.

‘Deepwater Horizon’ will flood theater with satisfied patrons

Mark this down as an absolute certainty: “Deepwater Horizon” is going to be a massive box office hit that will have theater goers running an emotional obstacle course. This wonderfully cast disaster movie is created with such fervor and upclose intensity that it’s hard to fathom how director Peter Berg made it all come together so perfectly.

Once the set up is done, the remainder of its 107 minutes is spent watching massive explosions that create fire plumes so large that they can only be described as horrifying. “Deepwater Horizon” begins by introducing us to “everyman-like” Mike Williams (played by current go to “everyman” actor, Mark Wahlberg). Mike is an electrician on the drill barge called, you guessed it, the Deepwater Horizon. On the morning of Mike’s leave for the barge, his daughter shows he and his wife, Felicia (Kate Hudson), her drilling-based school science experiment which ends with an exploding Photos courtesy of Summit Entertainment Coke can/foreshadowing 101.

9,500 addresses. A few of FOFP’s others accomplishments include: participation in the Mayor’s Fair Park Task Force; marketing and community outreach committees; partnership with the City to start the Fair Park Bike Share Program. FOFP led the effort to get $84 million for Fair Park included in the Dallas 2006 bond program and the sizeable list goes on. According to the soft-spoken Holcomb, “With a two-person staff and a cadre of volunteers, FOFP has, over the last 25 years, raised $8.6 million from the Texas Legislature for the Agrarian Area; $4.3 million from Intermodal Surface Transportation Enhancement Act program for the Automobile and Centennial Buildings.” Jason Bradberry is assistant director of FOFP.

People today like natural stuff. We have fresh Roma tomatoes and fresh jalapeños for example.” While many would use the upcoming State Fair of Texas to introduce new brands, McGarr has decided on a more traditional specialty market route for his salsa, using Central Market as the primary retail partner. “In this part of the country, everybody loves salsa,” McGarr said. “It was important to start here, and then look to expand.” “People have had more exposure to spicy foods in the past because of immigration and these great chefs have introduced spice to these great cuisines,” McGarr said. “Nobody needs another salsa. Nobody needs another lawyer. Nobody needs another barber. Nobody needs another car salesman. But if you can differentiate yourself in having a product that people will buy and it tastes good and it has a little bit of humor, you’ll succeed.” The price point on the 16 oz. jar of salsa is $4.99. “I want to make this the greatest selling salsa in the world. And of the Habanero jelly, I want to sell at least ten jars.”

Fair Park with a mission to restore the building, and then to restore the entire park. They raised $750,000 as a start in getting the work done. FOFP’s initiatives include promoting yearround use of Fair Park; supporting Fair Park museums; encouraging thoughtful planning for Fair Park’s future and preserving buildings, art, sculpture and artifacts of the 1936 Texas Centennial. Although FOFP’s primary mission is historic preservation, it has taken on the mammoth initiative of increasing year-round use of the Park. The organization cooperates with the City of Dallas, which owns Fair Park, and with other Fair Park personnel to achieve that goal. FOFP keeps the public informed about Fair Park events, in cooperation with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department, with a monthly Fair Park e-newsletter that is sent to
