The Dallas Chamber Symphony will open its season on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. at Moody Performance Hall located at 2520 Flora St. with Buster Keaton’s groundbreaking 1923 comedy “Our Hospitality,” supported by a live orchestra led by artistic director and conductor Richard McKay. It is also the world premiere of a score by Scott Glasgow, who will also be in attendance. Tickets are $25 to $54 and available at dcsymphony.org. – Susan Friedman

Let’s talk Turkey. And Latin America. And Nepal. And Afghanistan. And India. And China. And Japan. And Vietnam. It is a wonder so many unique items can fit in one retail store. Mehmet Shon Celik is owner of the just opened The Eighth Wonder at 2823 N. Henderson Ave. which formerly housed Alamo Glass and Mirror. Celik, born in Istanbul, has curated a shop full of jewelry, fashion, home decor, textiles, lighting, rugs and gifts. It is as much a museum as it is retail store. “I came here in 1998,” Celik said. “I came here for business. I opened a retail store on Henderson Avenue, then opened a store in Plano, and then in downtown McKinney.” He closed his original Henderson Avenue store because of parking issues. Today, he still owns Another Time and Place at the Shops at Legacy and Turkish Café & Lounge, providing authentic Turkish food and atmosphere to north Plano. He also owns a boutique hotel and restaurant in Istanbul. “This couple goes over there and has an amazing

They came back to see me at the Shops at Legacy and said ‘Shon, you must bring this food over here.’” Turkish Café & Lounge, at Preston Road and State Highway 121, has become the largest such restaurant of its kind in the area and sponsors cultural events on weekends that attracts 600 to 700 people.

A stroll through the 3,000-squarefoot The Eighth Wonder is a cultural experience unto itself. Among the most impressive items are hand-painted Turkish ceramics and tiles. Celik designs the one-of-a kind jewelry pieces and has them manufactured at a plant in Turkey. He is selling a lot of his jewelry at wholesale to clients like Mary Kay and Steve Madden.

STATE FAIR OF TEXAS

By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com

“Howdy, Folks! Welcome to the State Fair of Texas” (SFOT), and with Big Tex’s words a new day begins at the 2018 SFOT. Wonder what this year’s variety of “Fair weather” will bring? It’s off to its extremes in the first week. This year’s theme, “Celebrating Texas Innovation,” ushers in a collection of fascinating and

surprising glimpses into contributions created by forward-thinking Texans on exhibit in SFOT’s Hall of State. Karissa Condoianis, Sr. Vice President, Public Relations, said, “Texas continues to be a state of innovation, delivering groundbreaking inventions, technological advancements and scientific milestones.” Ever give much thought to why servers at drivein restaurants are called

“Carhops?” Come on. You must be a little curious. And what was up with that big, pink, neon pig sign around town back in the day? Yep. The original drive-in restaurants, not to be confused with this century’s plethora of drive-thru quickies, also originated in Dallas with the Pig Stand chain. Servers would hop up on your car’s running board to deliver your food, and up came the Carhop moniker.

It doesn’t matter what your past looks like; it can still be uncomfortable, stressful and maybe even a little painful having to relive things from the past, as you discuss it with whom you’re dating. That’s why many people have “that talk” early on, to clear the air and get everything out in the open. For some, this isn’t as easy as it sounds, and every couple is different. One rule of thumb when going into a new relationship, or even if you’ve been together for a long time, is to try not to hold someone’s past against them, as well as to be empathetic toward any painful memories they may have. If you find it difficult to get over some things they tell you, look inwardly and ask yourself why, so you can begin to determine if you can move on or not. Perhaps even look deeper and see if it’s something you need to work on for you—or together. Both are understandable. The problem comes in when one person has been totally transparent and, years later, still has to discuss it on occasion. Once it’s been discussed in the open, that should be it, especially if it’s painful for one of you to relive over and over again. The other rule to go by when approaching “the talk” is, if you’re deliberately hiding something, then it’s not fair to the relationship or the person you’re with. Keep that in mind as you’re being open with one another. There are couples, however, who may decide that they don’t need to know their partners’ pasts. If that’s what they mutually agree on, all power to them. It’s all about getting to a mutual understanding on what each of you needs from the other. Then it all comes down to trust and communication. Trust is everything, and if you have trouble practicing it, communicate that with your partner. You can work on it together. At some point, though, you both should be comfortable enough to let your pasts fade and look to the future.

Talking about your past By Donna Arp Weitzman

William "Bubba" Flint — Special Contributor

However, sometimes the past can come back to the present. Say you end up working with an ex; that’s a crucial transparent moment that must happen with your partner. They need to know the situation, as it may be one you cannot change, but one that you have to work with your significant other on helping them feel comfortable. At that point, it’s on you to help your partner feel OK and confident that nothing will happen, perhaps by introducing them to one another, bringing Donna Arp Weitzman your partner around to work events, or in some other way. It’s also on your partner to work on themselves, their trust, and their coping skills with these situations. They must remind themselves of who they’re with and that they love and care for you. After all, is this situation worth sabotaging your relationship? Think about that. It takes both people to have back-andforth communication, genuine trust and a healthy relationship. Meet each other halfway, mutually, in these sometimes uncomfortable moments. Adapt it to your relationship, but make sure neither person is guilting or being guilted for their past. It doesn’t have to be pulling teeth; it can be therapeutic if approached lovingly and non-judgmentally. The past is the past; we all have one, but we also all have a future. It’s up to you to determine if it’s together. A former mayor and businesswoman, Donna Arp Weitzman was a later-dater before marrying Herb Weitzman in 2012. She is the author of Cinderella has Cellulite and Sex and the Siren, both best selling books available on Amazon.

Judge the judges, but what about justice? By Ryann Gordon

ryannbgordon@yahoo.com It’s been a long, painful time for many, as the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault exploded into action and began airing the dirty laundry of many public figures. While some cases uncovered a darker past than others, the movement has been unquestioningly detrimental for a handful of womanizing men who more than likely thought that their actions would never result in consequences. Just when we thought the storm had calmed a bit, it’s found a new face that’s turned the movement into a fully-f ledged whirlwind of “he said, she said.” As Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh joins the running with the nearly endless list of publicly accused celebrities and leaders, let’s just say, things have really escalated. Perhaps the most difficult part of this entire fiasco is that we in many cases have had to look back several years or, in this case, decades. Thus the question arises, how much reliability can be put on a person’s story from 30-plus years ago? What about when there was alcohol involved? And how can we take an

event from such a drastically different time and hold it to today’s Ryann Gordon standards? Most importantly, can we really grant amnesty to a leader of this country just because he was a drunk as a young man? The fact is, everyone must be tried as an equal. If I’m going to be extreme, I’d say that a Supreme Court justice who holds their position for life must be judged even more critically. Even if Kavanaugh is completely innocent, he clearly upset some women at one point or another … if he is the womanizer who’s been portrayed, how are we to expect him to judge a female? On another note, one way that we can judge a public figure by their past is how they react today. Whether Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations are true or not, the way that our nominee reacted was out of line, in my opinion. First of all, in their testimonies, Dr. Ford carried a fearful sincerity that was clearly much more human

than Judge Kavanaugh. And as far as we’ve seen, probably truer than most of what her accuser had to say. The testimony delivered by Kavanaugh was outlandish in attitude for the most part, as he blatantly denied all claims with an aggressive, insolent force. Not only did the judge speak directly about being a well-known partier, but he claimed to “not drink beer to the point of blacking out” at any time. He insisted that drinking was legal for 18 year olds in Maryland. Despite his assurance that he wasn’t a big drinker, he repeated the word “beer” a good 30 times and relentlessly turned blame on others, including his own Judge. All claims aside, there is no questioning that fallacies were f lying in Kavanaugh’s testimony. And if he is confirmed, what does this mean for the U.S. government? If there’s one thing we can assume, it’s that not many are going to be happy if his nomination is cleared. Not Democrats, not Republicans and definitely not many women.

MULL IT OVER

Automobility

By David Mullen

By David Boldt

The Dallas Stars are not among the favorites to reach the Stanley Cup finals this year. According to Las Vegas odds makers, this year’s favorites are the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Toronto Maple Leafs (a team that has not won the Stanley Cup in more than 50 years), the Vegas Golden Knights, the Boston Bruins, the Winnipeg Jets, the Nashville Predators and the defending champion Washington Capitals. The Stars are nowhere to be found. But what makes the National Hockey League so interesting—which begins its long season this week—is that parity reigns and nearly half of the teams will have a chance at winning a championship. Remember, the expansion Golden Knights were a 500 to 1 underdog to win the Stanley Cup last year. They made the finals. So seeing the Stars returning to playoff hockey and making a long run is not that farfetched. The Stars are much improved. The Stars are deeper going into the 2018-19 season, and it is not that they were that bad last season. A collapse in the final 21 games kept them from making the playoffs. New head coach Jim Montgomery, in his first NHL year after great success in the college ranks, has been brought in to keep the team focused on the puck by control and attacking opponents. He will no doubt communicate better with his players than former coach Ken Hitchcock was able to. Dallas still has Tyler Sequin, Jamie Benn, Alexander Radlov and John Klingberg. Goaltender Ben Bishop will now be backed up by free agent acquisition Anton Khudobin, which is a major upgrade from Kari Lehtonen. But all eyes will be on 19-year-old defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who could be the future of the franchise. Forward Valeri Nichushkin returns to Dallas after a stint in Russia. Expect better results from Nichushkin than his first goround at Victory Park. But the Central Division and the Western Conference as a whole is loaded with talent. The Jets are led by Patrik Laine, who is in a contract year. The Predators rely on strong defense and goaltending. The St. Louis Blues retooled in the offseason, adding more offense. And the Minnesota Wild, always a thorn in the Stars side, will be near the top of the division come playoff

We were on the cusp of fall, and under breaking clouds the sun was shining on Washington, D.C. With temps in the low 80s, dropping the Miata’s top is a no-brainer, as is taking the George Washington Parkway northwest along the Potomac. The alternative to the GW, which is westbound I-66, is a toll road at rush hour and—I’ll be frank—something less than a rush. Once outside of DC, the posted speed limit on the GW is 50 mph, and while there isn’t much of a patrol presence (it’s too congested), if caught speeding the fines are expensive. The beauty of the Miata, however, is that it has historically been a slow car you can (and should) drive fast. And that’s infinitely better than owning a fast car you gotta drive slow. In 2016, Mazda remixed the Miata formula. In the roadster’s three previous iterations, the footprint had closely followed the evolution of the British roadster; the visual was inspired by the mid-‘60s Lotus Elan, and—to a large extent—so was its comfortable ride and moderate body roll. With roughly 150 horsepower it wasn’t a go-kart; cynics might have called it a slow cart. But with the top down and a winding road beneath you, there was nothing

I really like the San Jose Sharks this year, led by general manager Doug Wilson. Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns are two of the best players in the league. The Los Angeles Kings will try to avoid the LeBron James spotlight coming from the Los Angeles Lakers and their Staples Center home, but should qualify for the playoffs. In the Eastern Conference Metropolitan Division, the Capitals will find out how difficult it is to repeat, despite returning Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. The Pittsburgh Penguins still have Sidney Crosby, but must rely on a comeback year from goaltender Matt Murray. The Philadelphia Flyers made two major moves this offseason, bringing back winger back James van Riemsdyk and introducing the most hideous mascot in sports history, Gritty. He, or it, makes the Cowboys’ Rowdy likeable. The Eastern Conference Atlantic Division is stacked and not particularly thrifty. The Maple Leafs dipped into free agency and signed John Tavares to a seven-year, $77 million contract. Everyone’s favorite preseason choice, the Lightning, acquired Ryan McDonagh late last season and then gave him $47 million. The Bruins have great balance, and approved their goaltending situation by signing Jaroslav Halak to backup Tuukka Rask. When the ice shavings settle, I see a San Jose Sharks versus Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup finals. And for the first time, the Stanley Cup will be raised in the Silicon Valley. But things are looking up for a playoff run for the Dallas Stars. Expect this season to begin a return to glory.

Treat your feet to new running shoes By Stefanie Tapke

To put it nicely, I am fiscally-minded. To put it honestly, I am downright cheap. Whether it’s adding water to the last bit of hand soap or being careful not to leave the refrigerator door open too long, I am, at times exhaustingly money-conscious. This character trait has served me well in many areas of life, but not when it comes to running shoes. Over the last 18 months (the time I’ve considered myself “a real runner,” averaging over 15 miles a week) there is one thing I still haven’t been able to wrap my head around—buying a $100 pair of running shoes! Not to mention the fact I apparently need to buy a new pair every six months! I don’t know why splurging on running shoes in particular gets under my skin, but they’re one necessity that I just don’t want to spend a lot of money on. I know they’re going to get dirty quickly, so I don’t have a desire to splurge on them. From the beginning of my training for last year’s BMW Dallas Marathon until this week, I’ve had the same pair of running shoes. This totals about 15 months now, and those same running shoes currently look like they’ve gone through some sort of shredding machine or met the mouth of a very angry dog. In reality, the shoes have simply seen a lot of miles—pavement, gravel, dirt and track. They’ve carried my weight on runs all across the country over the last 18 months. They were with me through almost four months of half marathon training, a half marathon and in the days since, as I’ve tried to get back into the same pre-marathon shape I was in last year at this time. I get the most possible use out of

everything I buy. But, please, don’t be like me when it comes to running shoes. The notion of a new pair every six months isn’t just a marketing ploy to get you to buy more shoes. Running in shoes as decrepit as mine can lead to preventable injuries, foot cramps and more. It is recommended that you treat your feet to a new pair every six months or, as a good rule of thumb, every 300 to 500 miles. The moral of this sad shoe story is like many I tell—do as I say, not as I do. Buy yourself a new pair of running Stefanie Tapke shoes, and try not to fret too much about it. Even the cheapo in me has to admit, a nice pair of running shoes is wholly worth the investment if you’re running any more than 10 to 15 miles per week! Stores I’ve seen success with (though I haven’t purchased enough running shoes to be an expert on stores) include RunOn! and Luke’s Locker. Take a visit to either of these stores with your current pair of running shoes in tow and they’ll take a look at the way your old shoes have worn to help fit you better for your new pair.

Sp tlight KEEPING FAMILIES CONNECTED

Provides services and support for family members with incarcerated loved ones.

our service for as long as we have without having to close our doors once. Ours is a national need, as there are 2.7 million children with incarcerated parents. In the near future we plan to birth KFC in additional states.

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?

A Keeping Families Connected (KFC) was founded by Letitia Scott and is a federally recognized, nonprofit operating in the DFW area. We provide free meals, support and roundtrip transportation to correctional facilities for families and children of incarcerated loved ones.

QW hy are you passionate about helping

this charity? Do you have a personal story to relate? My passion is to make meaningful contributions to those who are incarcerated and the family members they are separated from. We don't believe the bars are barriers. KFC is a passion of mine because I lost my only teenage son to a car wreck. KFC exists in honor of my son.

QW hat is the most important thing your

nonprofit does for our community? We provide services for the children and families year-around. We recently had our second annual Back-to-School Connect Fest, which was funded by Mayor Mike Rawlings' office and Letitia Scott. KFC freely distributed 160 backpacks filled with supplies and uniforms.

A

QW hat is difficult about your job?

A There is tremendous demand for what we do and we have limited vehicles (vans). We are limited to providing transportation to prison facilities that are within a 6-hour radius.

QW hat is rewarding about your job?

QW hat are your critical needs now, besides

money donations? Our greatest need is vans for the transportation of the families, and we are working to purchase our first van. We have been renting vehicles for three years. If we were to receive a large donation, it would go to purchase our own van.

QW hat are some goals, and what does the

future hold for your charity? Lack of money and distance are often the reasons family members don't visit their loved ones as often as they would like. Our mission is to fill that gap. Donations allow us to keep families connected week after week throughout the year. Besides the need for vans, we are focusing on obtaining grants, and to opening up additional facilities across the U.S. soon.

Toast the French with French Toast

By Dotty Griffith

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com French toast says “happy day” in the sweetest way. This recipe from Paul Martin’s American Grill Corporate Executive Chef Russell Skall does, indeed, put you in a good mood. Garnish with fresh berries and whipped cream. Serve with warm syrup if you want that extra blast of sweetness. PAUL MARTIN’S AMERICAN GRILL BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST 6 (1-inch) slices brioche bread 4 cups French Toast Batter (see recipe below) 3/4 cup clarified butter 1 cup whipped cream Strawberries, cut in half or sliced Blueberries Mint Sprigs Powdered sugar Warm syrup, if desired. Heat oven to 350 F. Cut slices of brioche bread in half on an angle to form triangles. Stir the batter well. Soak triangles of bread for 20 seconds per side. To a large sauté pan over medium high heat, add 1/2 of the clarified butter. When butter

is hot, add soaked bread, a few pieces at a time, and cook for 2 minutes per side or until brown. Place cooked bread on a sheet pan and reserve. Repeat until all bread triangles are brown on both sides. Place sheet pan in oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes to crisp the outside. To serve, shingle 3 half slices of toast slightly overlapping (per serving). Garnish with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Dollop each serving with whipped cream and a mint sprig. Generously dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with warm syrup, if desired. Makes 4 servings. FRENCH TOAST BATTER In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup milk, 6 eggs, 2 1/4 cups sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Using a wire whisk, blend until sugar dissolves. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a square or rectangular baking dish. Makes 4 cups.

Hammer and Nails

Prices shouldn’t spook you

By Stephan Sardone

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com

By Candy Evans

candace@candysdirt.com If you buy at The Bentley, then you might be able to (almost) afford a Bentley. I hear this refrain over and over again from my peers looking Candace Evans to downsize out of larger homes: there is nothing available to downsize into. Well, obviously you have not been reading CandysDirt.com. Poor you: missing out on all the latest and greatest real estate news in DFW. Go sign up for our daily newsletter right now! Did you know a whole block of homes are down in the Bird Streets, a neighborhood undergoing a dramatic transformation? Then there is Bentley Place, an eight-villa luxury environment featuring the best floor plans I have seen in decades, in a super wonderful part of town: Greenway Parks. I'm talking walkable to the Tom Thumb/Simon David store, Inwood National Bank and Trader Joe's at Lovers Lane and Inwood Road. The theater is near, and about a 10-minute Uber ride, at most, from Love Field. You want the master down? Done! You want an elevator to drag luggage and holiday decor out? Bingo. You want multiple living spaces so you can still entertain like a pro? Got 'em. And who wants to give up outdoor entertaining when you give up your big backyard? Bentley Place offers four floor plans with extensive customization possibilities, including that downstairs master. The gourmet kitchen opens sesame and is visible to the living and dining area, adjacent to a large outdoor living space perfect for al fresco dining that buyers want in their home. And the appliances are a chef 's dream. There are even bars in these models, because guess what, “I like beer, girls like beer, boys like beer.” (Sorry, got carried away there … a reference to Brett Kavanaugh because honestly, no one is talking about anything else!) Studies show exactly what downsizing buyers want in their home: number one on the list are gourmet kitchens and indulgent master bedrooms and baths. And if you don't give them great big huge closets, you might as well save your drafting pencils. The Bentley's oversized master suite is pure indulgence. And the baths, and the closets! Not going to tell you about it, come see for yourself! Crème de la crème: we are having an event on Wednesday evening where guests will be able to check out the latest in Bentley luxury automobiles, courtesy of Park Place Bentley.

Because when you downsize and buy at the Bentley, you will actually be able to afford a Bentley! The homes start at about $1.2 million. CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed! Named by National Association of Real Estate Editors as the BEST Real Estate Blog in the country.

Halloween is just around the corner. I am fascinated by the great lengths people go to decorate their house. Usually, the mortgage and utility costs are scary enough. But, if you have children like I do and live in a neighborhood full of trick-or-treaters that will be visiting, you are almost obligated to make your home festive for Halloween. This does not have to be expensive. It just requires a little creativity and a little elbow grease. Since these are temporary home enhancements, there is no need to blow the budget. Save that for the candy bowl. These ideas are bare bones (Ha, Ha!). Use your gourd (Ha, Ha! again). And use pumpkins, too. The easiest first step is to decorate your walkway with whole pumpkins and gourds. And, of course, a hand-carved pumpkin, designed with the kids help, should be the centerpiece. But know that while an uncarved pumpkin or gourd can last for months, a carved jack-o-lantern lasts only about a week to 10 days. And wait until Halloween night to put a candle inside, unless you can find a non-flammable light source. I like to change out the lights in my walkway to alternating colors, mixing in white and orange. Glow-in-the-dark items also can be used for effect. You can change out porch lights, too. And when the festivities are done, cover the bulbs in bubble wrap (after they have cooled down, naturally) and then store them for use next year. You can create some cool sidebars for the lawn and the porch. Skeletons and bones can make a spooky decoration. I have seen a wheelbarrow with dirt and the bones scattered in it. It is truly bone chilling. You can use garbage bags to create fake body bags. Use a gallon jug for

the head. Or line up illuminated gallon jugs with scary faces and backlight them in the walkway or porch steps. Stephan Sardone And replica tombstones have become a lawn staple. If you have a side gate or a small fence protecting your outside air conditioning condenser, add chains and a “Keep Out” sign. Then you can add fake hands and put them through the slats. I will guarantee no little kid will want any part of that. Fake spider webs with plastic spiders are available at any specialty shop. So are fake bats or black crows. Use painters tape to hang them from a ceiling, or hang them from trees and light posts. They are easy to affix and won’t cause any damage to your porch’s woodwork. Yard ghosts are easy to make. You just need white sheets, Styrofoam balls for a head and a way to secure them to the ground or entryway. And if you have a ranch-style mailbox, you can have some fun with that as well. On Halloween night, dust off that old boom box and play spooky sounds on the porch. A Halloween CD costs less than $5 at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com. But please refrain from playing the “Monster Mash.” Although it was a “graveyard smash,” it will not be a hit with the neighbors. This is one holiday where more is better. Ask your children to participate in all phases. Ask them what keeps them up at night. Then you can explain to them what a mortgage is. Sardone Design-BuildRemodel is locally owned and operated. Sardone, his wife and two daughters are Lake Highlands residents.

As for his return to Henderson Avenue, Celik said “I love this neighborhood. I love downtown. People appreciate the store, but they don’t want to cross [Interstate] 635. So I decided to open again, just not with the same name [as the one in Plano].” Hence the name The Eighth Wonder, because it is Celik’s eighth business and people “wondered what I would do next,” Celik said. The father of four lives with his wife in Plano. His inventory is ever evolving. Prices vary from less than $10 to more than $10,000 for imported rugs and handmade chandeliers. One corner of the store is dedicated to organic soaps. “These are our best-selling items,” Celik said. “They are done in Turkey, and we wholesale these to many countries in Europe. And in the U.S., we are the only one that has these.” Near a shelf of the also popular organic towels, varieties of the soaps including goat milk, sesame, aloe vera, moss, bee pollen and pomegranate are displayed. The soaps sell for $9.99. And being in Texas, the store even has a shelf of handmade boots and regularly gets new styles. “The Eighth Wonder is not just a shop where you can purchase unique products, but a place where you can go and learn about the different items on display,” Celik said. “Each of these items has a back story which adds to its value, and that’s something that customers can take with them, whether they’re buying a necklace or furnishing their home with a handmade rug.” A formal grand opening is in the works. For more information, go to theeighthwonder.shop.

It’s a good week for refreshing one’s environment — whether that means a simple rearrangement or a major overhaul. A splash of paint and a bouquet of flowers can work wonders at this time, as all must tend carefully to one another’s moods. It may prove all too easy to sink into a kind of malaise — unless one is diligent in maintaining a positive attitude. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) The simplest approach is best this week, as you will discover when you try to communicate your ideas to those who can help you. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Even the best-laid plans can go awry, especially when not everyone is on the same page, as is the case now. You can remedy this, but not everyone will join you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You are not likely to discover anything this week that you didn’t already suspect — or know outright. Share information freely with others. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Your outlook may be tarnished some today as you uncover the germ of a situation that you may not be able to control as you would like. Focus on the possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You must be ready for a little more exposure than usual this week. You won’t appreciate the situation until it is in full swing. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – Any kind of pretense or deception is almost certain to be found out this week. You must promote the truth in your affairs, and the affairs of others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You’re likely to be introduced to something new this week that can become a big part of your daily life in little time. Look ahead! (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You may realize that you have been complicit in something that now you want no part of — and it’s not too late to separate yourself from it effectively. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You must come to terms with something that others seem to have known for some time. A change in attitude is likely to begin this week. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – How you identify yourself will make all the difference this week.

Picante Sauce. Remember your first handheld electronic calculator? Can you picture in your mind’s eye the company logo on it? Hint: The company is located on a Texassized campus by the High Five exchange. It’s Texas Instruments, of course. Those are only a few of the sensational exhibits in the Hall of State, representing products that originated in the Lone Star State. “We believe that innovation stems from education,” said Mitchell Glieber, State Fair of Texas president. “Through recent initiatives like Big Tex Urban Farms and ongoing programs like the Fair’s TEKS-aligned curriculum, I Spy Texas display, Big Tex’s Farmyard, and our 170 agricultural events ranging from livestock competitions to ag robotics, we aim to inspire future innovators by offering exhibits and activities that are both educational and entertaining.” There will be more juicy surprises about Texas innovations, celebrated at the State Fair of Texas Hall of State, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily throughout the Fair (ending Oct. 21). Admission is free. For more information about the State Fair of Texas, visit bigtex.com.

Your Stars this Week The coming week is going to require a good deal of thought and planning, as images of the future begin to take shape and all are presented with options both expected and unexpected. No one should assume that progress can be made without some kind of sacrifice — though that sacrifice needn’t be made now. There is an investment to be pledged, of time, attention or resources, that will come due in the weeks ahead — but the emotional impact of that bill will be felt immediately. There is no gain this week without even a little bit of pain. The question, of course, is, “Will it be worth it?” What anyone does to promote forward motion this week will count as an act of faith, for both the price and the reward are yet to be tallied.

There’s no reason for you to try to be anything but yourself — now or in the future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) An issue arises this week that highlights the difference between you and someone you’ve called a friend. That relationship may change. (March 6-March 20) – You can benefit this week from a change of scenery. An argument with a family member results in an increased understanding of a common dream. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You’ve decided on a clear course of action, but now you must come up with a reason for following that course that others will understand. (April 5-April 19) – Travel may be in the picture, and if you find yourself on the road before the week is out, you must be sure to equip yourself with everything you need. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You can approach a difficult situation this week in a way that inspires confidence in those who are, and who will be, relying on you. (May 6-May 20) – You can take part in something this week without being fearful that help will not come your way. Trust that things will work out as planned.

Quirky ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’ is time consuming

By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood

On Sept. 23, 1994, “Pulp Fiction" was released and changed the way that movies could be made. It became OK to have sprawling stories with multiple characters while mashing genres together. Snappy, pop culture-laden dialogue became the new hotness and it spawned countless copycats. Director/writer Drew Goddard’s second film, “Bad Times at the El Royale,” owes its very existence to Quentin Tarantino’s now 24-year-old masterpiece. Every character is loaded with quirks and the majority of the violence is quite jarring, but at a slightly bloated 140 minutes, Goddard may have bitten off more than he can chew. Strangely enough, the opening scene may be the best of the entire movie and there isn’t so much as one word uttered. An unknown man (played by Nick Offerman) silently hides a leather bag under the f loorboards of a hotel room and, after his work is done, things go badly. It’s puzzling, and the nature of

Seamus McGarvey’s cinematography (which is at award worthy levels) makes it almost unbearably creepy. We then learn that it is 1969 and that hotel is the El Royale, a Reno hotel with the unique feature of being sliced in half by the California-Nevada border. That quirk alone should have Tarantino junkies salivating … even though it doesn’t factor one iota into the story. Goddard spends a massive chunk of the movie moving pieces around the board as people start showing up to the hotel. Singer Darlene (Cynthia Erivo) and Father Daniel Flynn (Jeff Bridges) get an El Royale history lesson from verbose Southerner Seymour Sullivan (Jon Hamm), a traveling vacuum salesman, before getting checked in to their rooms by a young, overwhelmed concierge, Miles (Lewis Pullman, looking and sounding exactly like his father, Bill). Once Emily Summerspring (Dakota Johnson) walks in the lobby, it becomes apparent that nobody in the hotel is on the up-and-up. “Bad Times” then becomes an intoxicating noir

20th Century Fox

Chris Hemsworth stars in "Bad Times at the El Royale." with as much in common with Agatha Christie as Tarantino. Time frames shift seamlessly and the same 15 minutes of action are shown from each character’s perspective. A brilliant sequence with Jon Hamm is no doubt stealth edited, but it appears to be one shot as the camera moves throughout the hotel,

peeking in on all the guests in a voyeuristic way. The story starts to spiral downwards when Chris Hemsworth’s Billy Lee shows up at the hotel. It would be poor form to spoil exactly what Billy Lee is, but it quickly goes from intriguing and odd to rushed and forced. It’s not anything that Hemsworth does poorly

as much as it seems like Goddard needed resolution and used his character to get it. Therein lies the biggest problem with “Bad Times at the El Royale.” There isn’t a villain. There’s just strange characters stuck in a mysterious place. It’s all premise and mood without a real denouement other than chaos.

The setup is a blast, but the ending is unsatisfying as it runs out of steam. Goddard has some great stuff in here, but there’s a fine line between ambition and indulgence. Thankfully, “Bad Times at the El Royale” is so well directed, acted and shot that it’s easy to overlook the warts and just enjoy the trippy ride.

Uncle barky's bites

Rebooted ‘Murphy Brown’ may be booted soon

By Ed Bark

unclebarky@verizon.net The past year’s two other cast reunion reboots of note, “Will & Grace” and “Roseanne,” fired up the Donald Trump jokes in their first episodes before turning to other matters in subsequent episodes. That’s decidedly not the case— but hardly surprising, either—with CBS’ second coming of “Murphy Brown” (Thursdays at 8:30 p.m.). Relishing the fight at hand, the three episodes made available for review go hard at Trump, his supporters and the importance of truth, justice and an unfettered, vigilant media. This is not always done with dexterity, though. Episode 2 in particular hits a comedic rut when Murphy (Candice Bergen) dons a brunette pageboy wig and poses as a French journalist in order to infiltrate a White House press briefing, from which she’s been banned. Once in, she doffs the disguise and confronts Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who’s edited in via previous footage because obviously she didn’t cooperate with this. “So here’s my question,” Murphy climactically proclaims. “Why do you lie?” After protesting Trump’s “enemy of the people” declarations, Murphy tries to lead a walkout of all the journalists in the room. No one joins her, including son Avery (Jake McDorman), now an anchor-reporter. More on this later before first noting that this is a rather embarrassingly bad episode which can’t be saved by an ongoing over-active laugh track. The premiere episode, readily available On Demand, begins with video clips of Trump’s stunning election before Murphy is first seen

awakening that night in a pink “Original Nasty Woman” sweatshirt. “Nooooooo!” she exclaims before she’s soon striding into Phil’s Bar & Grill in her own rampedup version of a pink pussy hat. “I still can’t get used Ed Bark to being in a protest march without reporting on it,” Murphy laments before two of her old “FYI” news magazine co-workers, investigator Frank Fontana (Joe Regalbuto) and lifestyles reporter Corky Sherwood (Faith Ford), join her at their old hangout. The place is now run by the late Phil’s salty sister, Phyllis (Tyne Daly). The original “Murphy Brown” ended its run on CBS 20 years ago after 10 Emmy-lauded seasons. In one of the earlier seasons, “Murphy Brown” drew the ire of then-Vice President Dan Quayle, who upbraided Bergen’s character for “mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone.” The show fired back in the following season’s premiere episode, celebrating the many forms of family life while also mocking Quayle’s celebrated mis-correction of a student at an elementary school spelling bee. It’s “potatoe,” he said erroneously, not “potato.” The son in question is now all grown up. Not only that, he’s just landed his own show, “Avery Brown’s America,” on Fox News Channel. Suitably aghast, Murphy exclaims, “The Wolf network! Where all the male anchors are conspiracy theorists and the women are dead behind the eyes?” That’s being “very judgy,” he retorts before Mom says she’s also getting a new show on the CNC cable network. Fontana and Sherwood will join her on “Murphy In the Morning,” airing from 7 to 9 a.m. weekdays. This

CBS

Joe Regalbuto, Candice Bergen and Faith Ford of "Murphy Brown." also turns out to be Avery’s time slot. And until he can get his finances in order, he’ll be boarding with her, too. The give-and-take living room scenes between Murphy and Avery so far are the best and most natural parts of this reboot. McDorman, who previously starred in the CBS drama series “Limitless,” has an easygoing manner that succeeds in taking things down a notch. In contrast, the old “Murphy” cast members (also including Grant Shaud as frazzled producer Miles Silverberg), too often seem to be loudly out of rhythm in these early half hours. Rather than acting, they’re acting out. In Episode 2, even Bergen comes off as mechanical when delivering the line, “For crying out loud, LeBron would have an easier time getting into Mar-a-Lago!” In this case, she’s talking about barging into Phil’s during off-hours.

THE

celebration AS B I G AS

texas

Through the course of these first three episodes, Murphy also gets into an instant Twitter war with Trump and goes toe-to-toe verbally with an obvious mockup of Steve Bannon named Ed Shannon. But this happens at Phil’s rather than on the air. Murphy has refused his request to spar on her show after “FYI’s” old and still self-important news anchor, Jim Dial (Charles Kimbrough), counsels her during an Episode 3 walkon as a guest star. “If you put that human mudslide on the air, you’re creating a perfect example of false equivalency,” he tells her. (In real life, Bill Maher just had Bannon as a guest on his HBO “Real Time” show). Besides Avery, the only regular cast member under 50 is newly imported social media whiz Pate Patel (Nik Dodani), who in the opening episode has an amusing reaction to Murphy’s antique cell

phone. Meanwhile, Avery’s collusion with Fox News Channel comes with his caveat that “they’re still playing nice with their token liberal.” Wouldn’t it have been better to make the mom-son disagreements be about his politics as well—rather than basic guilt by association? “Murphy Brown,” through these first three episodes, is aggressively polemic to the point of diminished returns. It will be telling to see if the core CBS audience, which is both older and white, will be won over or be more inclined to simply tune out. So far this just isn’t a very good show, with both “Roseanne” and “Will & Grace” making stronger and funnier first impressions in this particular three-way reboot universe.

Blanton Art Museum worth drive By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com I had read about the marvelous Vincent Valdez piece entitled “The City,” currently on display at the Blanton Museum of Art on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin, and traveled down to the capitol to see it. Wow! What a fantastic piece of art. Unfortunately, the artwork is the one thing at the Blanton Museum of Art that you cannot photograph. But pictures of it are on the museum’s webpage at this time. The piece will be on display at the Blanton through October. Then it will probably be on loan. I asked why no photographs aren’t allowed and I was told it’s because the painting is too controversial to be viewed out of context. In fact, the piece stirred lively debate among faculty scholars when it was first displayed. At the museum, a

video by the painter explains what he is trying to convey. Still, the painting of a group of white-robed KKK members, one holding a baby also in KKK white robe, on a hill overlooking a city is haunting and evokes many bad images of the worst of society. Despite being attracted by this piece, what I found was a very manageable collection of modern and contemporary art with a smattering of Latin American art and Medieval and European classics. A friendly curator made sure I knew that there are noteworthy sculptures scattered around the University of Texas’ sprawling Austin campus. They can be viewed with an audio explanation by going to landmarks.utexas.edu. The day I visited it poured in Austin, leaving behind heavy, muggy air—no way I was going to wander the campus in search of these pieces while dripping sweat.

Darrell also worked with artists such as En Vogue, Toni Braxton, and Monica. He performed in stage productions, including Nickelodeon Children’s Kids Choice Awards, Soul Train, Showtime at the Apollo, and Centennial Olympic Park Festival. He appeared in commercials Glenda Brown. for the Texas Lottery and performed in various industrial events such as for Mary Kay Cosmetics.
