FAIR PARK
Honored Hillcrest alumnus plans future of landmark
By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
With his name in the news daily at the core of Fair Park’s future, Walter J. Humann credits Hillcrest High School (HHS) for his passion for public service. He says he received far more than the highest quality education. The 1955 Photo courtesy of SMU graduate applauds HHS for the Walter Humann. community leadership, service and support opportunities the school and the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) afforded him. He never passed up a chance to make a difference then, and he’s parlayed that experience into a life and career of leadership, service and support. “HHS had a tremendous impact on my life. Not only did I make wonderful, lifelong friends, but it influenced my career and life of service,” Humann said. This week HHS once again honored those who, like Humann, have been recognized as Distinguished Alumni over the years. The third annual Platinum Panther celebration given by the HHS Alumni Association was Wednesday night, when seven new
Distinguished Alumni were inducted. The HHS Distinguished Alumni Class of 2016 includes John Arnold ’92; Steve Coke ’63; Tom Koenig ’55; George Tobolowsky ’67; Peter Vogel ’65 and Dudley Weeks ’57. Platinum Distinguished Alumnus (graduate 70+ years ago) went to Kelly Franklin McCann ’45. The Distinguished Service Award went to Betsy Brown Nelson ’68. Humann said, “While at Hillcrest, I was nurtured by sports, including football, baseball and basketball. I played varsity football in college at MIT.” He added, “I learned valuable life lessons from incredible teachers and coaches. They were all mentors.” He was elected president of the student body, and was valedictorian of his senior class, along with other honors. He attributes many life choices to HHS. What is central to Humann today demonstrates his service to the community. He was appointed by Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to assume leadership in planning the future of Fair Park. Dallasites, transplants and visitors have had a 130-year love affair with “the Fair.” They look forward anxiously every year to fall and that three-week beloved celebration known as The State Fair of Texas. Now the question is about the year-round use of Fair Park. Humann says that, with its 277-acres of land and 1.7 million sq. ft. of building space, all interiors and exteriors are in dire need of repair and restoration. LANDMARK cont'd on page 11

Allen said, “We are so pleased to partner once again with the Friends of WRR, the Dallas Winds, the Fine Arts Chamber Players and other beneficiaries on this day of sharing and support for the aspiring musicians of North Texas, and we love to connect with the generous folks who donate their instruments and hear their stories!”

Granada Theater turns supper club for a night By Shari Goldstein Stern stern.shari@gmail.com
Nestled among Lower Greenville Avenue’s trendy and chic, the Granada Theater at 3524 Greenville Ave. celebrates its 70th anniversary this year and older audiences won’t recognize it as the popular movie house of the past. It has morphed over the years, and today it’s a concert hall that offers more than concerts, like the threemonth event series “Beats & Eats.” On Thursday, Oct. 27 the Granada will host the second “Beats & Eats,” a collaboration featuring chefs from local restaurants serving dinner and area musicians performing various genres. The event hearkens back to supper clubs of the past, on a
larger scale. Mark Kennedy, marketing/artist relations manager for the Granada, said “We set out to create a unique event that hadn’t been done before in Dallas. The first event sold out, and we’re looking to do the same for the second and third installments.” This month’s evening out will showcase a fourcourse meal from Café Momentum’s Chef Chad Houser, with music by The Texas Gentlemen. Each dish is matched with a different cocktail to complement the flavors of each course. Chef Houser's menu features Bourbon-Cured Salmon on Cornmeal Blini; Baby Lettuce with Tomato, Koji and Pumpernickel; Pork Osso Bucco with Hominy Hash; and Sweet Potato Pudding

with Nutmeg Marshmallows and Berry Dust. Kennedy, who joined the theater in May, said “The Texas Gentlemen is a
southern Dallas-based band made up of many Texasbased bands and artists, with members Ryan Ake, Beau Patrick Bedford, Daniel Creamer, Wesley Geiger, Aaron Haynes, Nik Lee and Matt McDonald. The group performs an eclectic sound of southern, blues, soul and songwriter-based rock. The Texas Gentlemen have a fluid sound that makes each performance one of a kind.” With regard to the Granada, Kennedy said “Most people see us as only a concert venue, but truth be told, we clean up very nicely for private events, weddings and special events like this, so it's really nice for us to get to show our patrons and those attending that we can be quite GRANADA cont'd on page 7

Many women suffer mastalgia By Dr. Kim Washington washington.k@att.net
Breast pain, also called mastalgia, is a condition which many women suffer monthly. It consists of tenderness that can occur cyclically or non-cycliDr. Washington cally. Cyclical mastalgia is the most common type of breast pain. This can cause a significant amount of anxiety, especially for women who developed these symptoms at a later age. In Western countries, mastalgia has been found to affect nearly 70 percent of women in their lifetime (compared to nearly 5 percent incidence in Asian countries). No research has been found to explain the differences and it is thought to be due to women in Western countries seeking medical attention for such pain, whereas in Asian countries there may not be such a readiness to pursue treatment. Mastalgia is suspected, when experienced in a cyclical fashion, to be caused by hormonal changes. Up to 40 percent of women who develop mastalgia describe it as being worse during their menstrual cycle each month. Of these women, nearly 8 percent describe their pain as debilitating, affecting their daily activities. Many women develop anxiety when they have constant breast pain as they become concerned that this could represent the first symptom of breast cancer. A study from England reviewing over 2000 women with mastalgia
found that only one woman was diagnosed with breast cancer, making breast pain a very rare presenting complaint. The treatment of mastalgia can be difficult, as hormonal therapy does not always resolve the pain predictably. The first “treatment” is reassurance. After obtaining appropriate imaging studies such as mammography, breast cancer can be ruled out as an already rare possibility of the cause of breast pain. We would recommend that the patient wear a well fitting bra, particularly if your breasts are large or pendulous. Many physicians will also start hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptives. These tend to resolve the symptoms within a few cycles, but the outcome can sometimes be less predictable. Additional natural treatments have also been found to have some benefit, including flaxseed, which has been shown to have excellent results for cyclical mastalgia. Older recommendations include evening primrose oil, vitamin E supplements and lowering caffeine intake, however, much of the research does not prove these treatments to be as effective as the others previously stated. If you have breast pain, it is worth being evaluated by your physician. You will have to undergo a full breast examination and likely a mammogram if you have not had one in the last calendar year. This condition is, however, highly treatable. Dr. Kimberly Washington, a general surgeon at Highlander Surgical Associates in Arlington, maintains an interest in health education and advocacy.
LIFE ON THE TRAIL
How to better a loved one with love
By Dr. Beth Leermakers bethleermakersphd.com
Watching someone you love make unhealthy choices can be very difficult. During my parents’ recent visit, I was struck yet again by how poorly they both eat. My mother skips breakfast, rarely drinks water, often eats only frozen yogurt for lunch and then doesn’t eat enough at dinner. My father eats too many Dr. Leermakers M&M’s and junk food, also skips lunch in favor of frozen yogurt and then over-eats at dinner. Despite my knowledge of nutrition from years of leading weight loss groups, there’s nothing I can do to convince my parents to improve their eating habits. I’ve discussed the importance of drinking water and eating lean protein at every meal, and I’ve encouraged my parents to eat a “real” lunch. I’ve walked through the grocery store with my father, pointing out healthier snacks and showing him food labels. I’ve tried to lead by example. In the end, I wind up feeling frustrated that they won’t follow my advice. I know from experience that being the “food police” doesn’t help, and yet I catch myself falling into that trap: “You don’t need butter on your corn on the cob.” “You shouldn’t fill up on nuts; they have too many calories.” My well-meaning words fall on deaf ears. According to my weight loss clients, when their spouse tells them what not to eat, it makes them want to eat even more of that food. “How dare you tell me what to eat! I’m an adult who’s capable of making my own choices.” The “exercise police,” who push their loved ones to work out more/harder/faster, don’t fare any better. People only change their behavior when they are ready, willing and able to change. We can’t make them change if they don’t want to. If nagging doesn’t work, what can you do to encourage a loved one to change his behavior? David Maxfield, author of "Change Anything and Influencer," offers these suggestions for having difficult conversations with loved ones: Find Mutual Purpose. You may see several negative consequences to your wife’s unhealthy eating. When discussing your concerns about the troublesome behavior,
focus on the non-threatening, safest common ground—improving health rather than appearance (if weight is also an issue). Help your loved one find her own motivation. Resist the urge to lecture, give advice or offer suggestions. Instead of trying to fix it, help your wife or daughter explore her situation and decide what she wants to do. You might say something along the lines of, “I’ve noticed that you haven’t been going to the gym lately. I know how important working out is to you. I’m wondering what’s been going on.” Begin with a contrasting statement. Your daughter may anticipate that you’ll try to fix her or tell her how to live her life. Address this misunderstanding from the outset by using two statements —“don’t” and “do.” These statements tell the listener what you do and don’t intend to do during the conversation. “I’d like to hear what you think about a sensitive issue. I don’t want to intrude on your personal life or tell you what to do.” “I just want to hear your point of view. I’ll respect your decision.” Encourage your loved one to consider both sides of the issue. Ask your husband what’s working well and what isn’t, with regard to his work schedule. Then let him talk. Don’t push your perspective. Avoid stating your opinion in a way that causes the other person to take the opposite position. If you say, “If you skip breakfast, you’ll just wind up eating too much for lunch,” your son may say, “But I don’t eat too much for lunch. And I really don’t have time to eat breakfast before school.” Know your limits and be willing to step back. Your loved one may not want to discuss her behavior with you, and she may not want your help even if she does want to change. If she doesn’t want your input, respect her decision and back off. Give her space to think about her situation. You could say something along the lines of “I’m here to support you if you change your mind and want my help.” The next time my parents visit, I’ll try a few of these strategies. I suspect that I’ll have to back off. I’ve done everything I can to help, and now I need to stay out of it, hard as that is.

Tale of two teams
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com It is beginning to look a lot like last year. The Dallas Stars had a great regular season last year playing with more offensive prowess and overall speed than they had in years. They finished with the league’s second best record at 50-23-9 and won the National Hockey League’s Central Division. They have developed a terrific core of young offensive players with Jamie Benn and Tyler Sequin and teamed them with veterans like Jason Spezza. They have groomed John Klingberg to become a top defenseman although he is only in his third year. They improved greatly on power play goals. Their future seems bright. But not for a championship this season. The team, which has not won the Stanley Cup since 1999, comes into the year with the same weakness that ended last season: goaltending. The Stars are not going to the Stanley Cup with the two-headed net-minder rotation of Antti Niemi and Kari Lehtonen. They can be serviceable during the regular season, but come playoff time — when play gets turned up a notch — teams that win ride out the playoffs on the shoulders of a hot goaltender. Neither Niemi or Lehtonen seems like the type of goalie that can raise their game to the level where the Stars can raise the Stanley Cup. They are a fun team to watch, but ultimately — at playoff time — their greatest weakness will get exploited. Reminds us a lot of the local baseball team. *** It is not beginning to look a lot like last year. The Dallas Cowboys have played the most efficient and entertaining football in the NFL so far this year. While the Minnesota Vikings may have the best record to date, they are winning without their best two offensive players and with a smash-mouth defense. The Cowboys have been riding a youth movement that has made the veterans play better. Dak Prescott has been better than anyone could have imagined. He has poise with nerves of steel. While other

This talk of a healthy Tony Romo coming in to replace Prescott in mid-season is baffling to me. Prescott has done everything and more than asked of him, including setting an NFL record for consecutive passes at the start of a career without an interception.

Are you working towards a specific number on the scale? Or are you hoping to fit into a certain size dress or jeans? While having this goal is great, it will NOT ensure your success. Think about how many people you know who Turner Cavender have had a specific number that they wanted to reach. You are probably one of them. This number might have been posted up on a sticky note on the fridge, reminding you to watch what you eat and consistently make it to the gym. Maybe this number was updated and recorded every day, to enforce accountability. How long did that last? A week? Two weeks? Statistics dictate that it likely didn’t last longer than a few weeks until that “goal number” began to fade from your life. Then you took it down off the fridge, or you stared at it defiantly as you reached for the off-limits food. You began to look at your goal number as an adversary rather than something good. I’m going to clue you in to the ONE AND ONLY lesson that you need to know when it comes to fitness, fat loss and achieving any goal. Listen up; this one is worthwhile. It’s not about reaching a number. This may go against everything you’ve come to believe about achieving a goal, but then, your techniques haven’t exactly been working. The number that you’re hoping to magically be one day doesn’t matter one bit, and here’s why… It’s about living in the momentum. Can you remember how it felt the last time that you ate clean, exercised hard and got adequate sleep for a few consecutive days? A feeling of momentum came over you, didn’t it? There was a buzzing in your cells and a rhythm in your pace. You felt alive, you felt sexy and you felt empowered. Never mind that you weren’t yet at your goal number, you were headed there! Getting down to your goal weight, and fitting into your goal size, is the direct result of living in that state of momentum for an extended period of time. You see, the momentum can be felt immediately, once you start eating clean, exercising hard and taking care of your health, whereas that “goal number” simply can’t be felt until it is achieved, and so it’s not as powerful a motivator. My challenge and advice to you is to find the joy of living in REASONS WHY SUGAR the momentum, and keep that RUINS YOUR HEALTH momentum going until your Have you forgotten how goal number is achieved.

Paranormal Adventures. Not From haunted houses to actual to mention the number of ghost tours of downtown, it’s supposedly haunted spots ryannbgordon@yahoo.com
that you can visit yourself in Dallas alone — the Millermore Mansion, the Adolphus Hotel, Sons of Hermann Hall, Hotel Lawrence, Laurel Land Memorial Park, Flag Pole Hill at White Rock Lake and even the location of the JFK assassination. Although Dallas is said to be creeping with ghosts on every end, one of the best ways to truly get the frightful experience you’re looking for this month is at a themed haunted house. Slaughterhouse in Deep Ellum is known to be a real life “nightmare on Elm Street” sure to leave your whole crowd running for the exit. For a more literal take on the horror film, take a trip to Lewisville Lake to the Theater of Carnage,
where visitors are submersed into gruesome scenes inspired by some of our favorite horror movies. And if you’re looking for a less hands-on scare, you can experience fear from the virtual world at Virtual Haunted House Dallas just south of downtown. For more haunted house experiences, you may have to make your way outside of downtown a bit. The Boneyard Haunted House’s new location near Duncanville is massive and known to be ringing with screams that can be heard from miles away. And Garland is home to one of the longest running haunted houses in Dallas County, another Slaughter House, a sinister meat packaging plant
with clowns that chase you. This year, Slaughter House has teamed up with J & F House of Terror to offer a Haunted House Maze that will have you running in fear for the exit. One of DFW’s most infamous haunted houses is in Plano, Dark Hour Haunted House, which plays on the theme of witches that are anything but friendly. Going east of Dallas is another wellknown haunted house which lies on 50 acres in Terrell, Thrillvania Haunted House Park. Thrillvania is comprised of three different attractions, the Trail of Torment, House of Clowns and the manor of psychopath Baron Michael Verdun, whose human-animal hybrids are said to still lurk the
rotted mansion. And don’t forget about Screams Halloween Park in Waxahachie, a full-on theme park with three haunted houses, CarnEvil, the Clown Maze and a new Zombie Wasteland. Find even more zombie-themed adventures at DFW Zombie Hunt in Roanoke or Zombie Safari in Forney, both interactive zombie hunts where you shoot at “real-life” zombies with special paintball equipment. Other haunted houses to venture to before the month ends include The Crypt in Farmersville, Moxley Manor in Bedford, Reindeer Manor in Red Oak and Cutting Edge in Fort Worth.

f you’re a parent, you’ve probably struggled at one point or another with encouraging your kids to eat healthy foods. Vegetables can be among the hardest — I have seen my nephew pout and scream for Megan Lyons what seemed hours when instructed to simply eat his broccoli, and I know many parents have experienced similar struggles. You don’t want to deal with the arguments, temper tantrums and bribery, but at the same time, you know how vital the antioxidants in vegetables are for your kids’ health, growth and development. Fortunately, I’ve found a way to get children to not only tolerate — but even enjoy eating a variety of vegetables. When I tested it out on two of my nieces and a nephew, I was surprised when not a single vegetable remained on our plates! It comes at a perfect time, too, since the weather is beginning to get cool enough to tolerate firing up the old grill. Simply follow these steps: • A llow your kids to select some of the vegetables with you at your Farmer’s Market or grocery store. Bell peppers, zucchini, squash, green beans, onions, mushrooms, eggplant, broccoli, carrots, corn, cauliflower, white or sweet potatoes all work GRANADA cont'd from page 1 dapper as well.” Last month’s “Beats & Eats” showcased a dinner prepared by Chef Graham Dodds of the farm-to-table restaurant Wayward Sons. Chef Dodds said, “It’s good to source food so you know where it
well, but feel free to be creative! • Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Allow your kids to help out! • Tear large sheets of aluminum foil (about 1.5 feet long), and spray one side of each sheet with olive oil or cooking spray. • Create a vegetable buffet, where each child gets to select the vegetables he/she wants, and spoon them into the middle of his/her sheet of foil. • Allow each child to select his/her own seasonings and sprinkle lightly on top of vegetables. Offer several seasoning options (Italian seasoning, garlic salt, salt and pepper, basil and curry powder all work well). • Tightly wrap the vegetables in the middle of the foil leaving no gaps. • Place entire foil packet on top shelf of grill, and grill until cooked through. (Cooking time will vary based on strength of flame, size of foil packets, type of vegetables, and other items on the grill, but 20-25 minutes is a good guideline). • Enjoy!

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will challenge many by presenting numerous situations that require a rare combination of mental agility and emotional fortitude. Indeed, some will actually find that a physical component is required, as well. Clearly, those with unusual discipline who can channel their skill and energy with precision will have an advantage, and those with the strength and stamina to go the distance can be the victors in almost all things — especially where any kind of journey is involved. Family matters and romantic potential may come to the fore, and where they intersect, there will be fireworks before all is said and done. It is here, at this dangerous junction, where a cool head is most desirable. Anyone who can remain calm may also save a relationship or two! Where love is new and the lovers still engaged in a process of exploration and discovery, there will be numerous opportunities for self-expression, but generosity is likely to be the most valuable trait. Those who are able to listen rather than talk can score many points, coming out ahead in a variety of intimate avenues. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You may not have a choice: Repeating yourself may be your only course of action, even while preparing for something new. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – A journey may take you to a faraway place that you never anticipated visiting.
You will enjoy a number of professional opportunities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may have to do more than expected, and some of that will have to be simultaneous. Multitasking will be a valuable skill! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – Anything on the docket that requires you to drift outside your comfort zone may be unusually difficult until you get the lay of the land. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You must try to be as helpful as you can to one who comes to you for a special piece of advice. You were in his or her shoes once. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Your loyalty may be tested, but you're sure to come out on top. You may be challenged in a way that has your head spinning. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You must resist the temptation to drink from the same familiar font. Get out, explore other options and see what suits you. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – The results you get may surprise those who don't realize what you've been up to all along. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You mustn't take advantage of another's misfortune in order to further your own agenda. Play fair at all times. (March 6-March 20) – Your ability to

see what's coming will serve you and others very well. Indeed, you may win a very special prize! ARIES (March 21-April 4) You mustn't focus so squarely on one responsibility that you let another slip through the cracks. Peripheral awareness is key. (April 5-April 19) – You can work closely with another to achieve something that is of importance to both parties. It is an unusual collaboration, to be sure! TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You can't risk having an unnecessary effort sap your strength. Focus on the things that must be done, and let the rest go. (May 6-May 20) – Knowledge old and new will combine effectively, and you should be able to do something novel and exciting. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You're willing to take a risk in order to give someone a necessary boost. In the end, you may both benefit greatly. (June 7-June 20) – Anyone who claims to know you best may be surprised when you unveil a whole new aspect of your personality. But is it actually new to you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You can play a central role in the affairs of someone who is much more important to you than you had originally surmised. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – The more indirectly you can affect a situation, the more lasting your influence. Working in the shadows can be quite satisfying to you.

Sun Number scores give you the solar potential of a home and are determined by the number of solar panels that will fit on a roof. And this is a terrific score. That privacy factor in the landscape was nurtured by Robert Bellamy Design, who always does a magnificent job. This is a great home for entertaining indoors, but the outdoor entertainment score is off the charts in our book. The resort-style pool and hot tub are flanked by expansive patios, sitting areas and then there’s the cabana with an outdoor fireplace, grilling station and an adjacent private dining space.

the framing in such a way that one can add handicap rails at a later date if that becomes necessary. They are also looking for a place with less maintenance. So, although gardens and lawns are nice, they seem to be putting in more patios and decks for entertaining. For those who have a green thumb, they are leaning toward simpler flower beds as their hobbies. Lighting is important to this age group as well. As we get older, we need more light, which means more windows and larger ones at that. It’s smart to go ahead and add more light fixtures in places that get shadowy, like under cabinets, in hallways or stairwells, along with multiple switches and dimmers. As for flooring, Boomers are tired of the slippery rugs and are going for hardwood floors or updated carpet instead. It’s not safe or smart to have that extra possible danger every time you walk down the hallway. Now that the nests are empty, it’s time to start treating yourselves, Baby Boomers. Try to get some of these renovations under way so you can start to truly enjoy them.

Habitat conversion to agriculture and the use of pesticides such as Roundup are found to be a major cause of these sharp pollinator number declines. The Great Seed Bomb founder, Jillian Jordan, started these bike ride events to take action to protect our pollinators and give others the opportunity to do the same. “Providing native habitat can offset habitat fragmentation and give bees and monarchs and other pollinators nectar sources as well as milkweed, which provides monarchs a place they need to breed and lay their eggs,” Jordan said. Fifty percent of the money raised for this event will also support the Native Prairie Association of Texas. If you can’t make the fun bike ride this November, no worries. You have options. You can donate to the Great Seed Bomb at Generosity. com crowdfunding (http://bit. ly/2bJ4CFc). Jordan is working to activate more seed bomb events around the North Texas area, with an event in Dallas next April, as well as create a digital playbook. This playbook will serve as an open source guide used by organizations around the world to replicate seed bomb events in their local communities. Take some time to enjoy the beautiful monarchs flying all over Dallas currently and tune up your bikes to do your part to support them. Naima Montacer is a freelance writer and conservationist.

Mazda’s all-new CX-9 takes on coastline By David Boldt
djboldt@sbcglobal.net At roughly the same time as the Wall Street Journal’s Dan Neil is thrashing the new 911 Turbo David Boldt on Northern California’s Thunderhill Raceway, I’m ferrying my wife, two adult children, a son-in-law and (not incidentally) our one grandchild down the California coast, from San Simeon to Morro Bay, in Mazda’s allnew CX-9. Despite Dan’s Porsche and Pulitzer (along with a weekly paycheck that — I’m guessing — approximates my annual salary) I think I have the better gig. The coast is compelling, the company is engaging, and Mazda’s new threerow crossover lives large while driving small. I am, in short, blessed. Given the Mazda’s three rows of accommodation, I’ll admit that — as a grandparent — I finally get it. And since its introduction in 2006 I have gotten Mazda’s CX-9. In the somewhat dismal inventory (at least for enthusiasts) of three-row crossovers in the United States, the CX-9 stood out from the Highlanders, Enclaves and Pilots for hitting the sweetspot in perceived size and sporty pretension. That, of course, was then. And in the fall of 2016 the all-new CX-9 is "now." As a descriptive "all new" is tossed around liberally; we’ve checked, and from its platform to its drivetrain to its sheetmetal the new CX-9 is as all-new as you’ll typically find in a dealership showroom. With Mazda’s engineers referencing the SKYACTIV manual for guidance in creating a light, rigid structure, they could then propel that structure with a smaller — albeit responsive — turbocharged four. Enclose it in the extra-large variant of Mazda’s KODO design language, and we have a winner for those fans of three-row crossovers. We’ll begin on the outside… EXTERIOR: I first saw the new CX-9 in its halo color, Machine Gray. A color formulated to, as Mazda describes it, make the CX-9 look “as though it were carved from a single ingot of steel,” the color absolutely nails the contours and proportions of this CUV. Perhaps deceptively, not only are the sheetmetal’s contours that much more dramatic, but they also seem tighter. And this: While topping up the tank at a 7-11, a woman with a recently purchased BMW X6 began to rave about the CX-9. And if that’s not a world turned upside down (like Trump running for President…), I don’t know what is. INTERIOR: Mazda offers four trim levels — Sport, Touring, Grand Touring and Signature,

Mazda CX-9. starting at $33K and topping out at roughly $45K. The Signature trim is the one to grab, in that it comes standard with Auburn-colored Nappa leather, rosewood accents (supplied by Japanese guitar maker Fujigen), and LED accents. In what we’ve seen of the lineup, plastics and — where applicable — leather are uniformly upscale, but it is the Signature that fully sets the CX-9 apart from the Highlanders and Traverses of the carpooling world. We were also taken by the front seats. For the first time in a Mazda, low-rebound high-damping urethane (still with me?) is used in both the front seat backs and seat cushions. The intent is to supply the driver and front passenger with an appropriate amount of road feedback, without so much feedback as to be punishing. Along with the great front seats is a very generous second row with fore-and-aft adjustability. And behind that is a two-person pad fine for anyone under 5’5.” UNDER THE HOOD: The new CX-9 turns the powertrain page, offering Mazda’s first application of a turbo on its 2.5 liter DOHC four. The new engine delivers 227 horsepower on regular unleaded (250 on premium) and 310 lb-ft of torque. That is a bunch of torque, and ups the CX-9’s towing capability from 2,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds. Delivering that power to either the front or all wheels through a 6-speed automatic, we liked its responsiveness in normal driving and liked it very much when the "sport" button is engaged. If wanting to step up to a luxury CUV without incurring the costs associated with luxury CUV ownership, we think Mazda’s CX-9 is a logical choice within an emotional decision. Have at it — emote.

It takes place in New Orleans during a Halloween parade and instead of actually using the parade chaos as a backdrop with these people fighting for their lives in a packed street, everyone runs off to empty alleys and rooftops to mercifully get us all to the inevitably predictable outcome. “Never Go Back” reaches peak levels of silliness when it ham-fists a moment that is so preposterous that everyone whose eyes are still in their head after it happens should be drug tested. There are levels of disbelief that are attainable in movies, but it would have been more believable if a unicorn ran on screen and saved Reacher, Susan and Sam. It’s a shame that Cobie Smulders is wasted in such a pedestrian movie. She's definitely ready for a place at the leading actress table and her physical, tough performance is the highlight. Her character is treated as Reacher’s equal and when she pummels a baddie, it’s quite believable. Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher isn’t a “Tom Cruise performance” in the way he is in the “Mission: Impossible” series, but this is serious letdown after the first movie. There’s just nothing to build on with his character, and he’s more of a device used for story to happen around him. The “is she his daughter” element is a non-starter, even though Cruise does pent-up emotion better than almost every big star today. “Jack Reacher: Never Back Down” never gets going. It awkwardly drops you into the life of the title character then proceeds to make him fairly lifeless. If not for Cruise and Smulders, this is nothing more than a B-level action movie that normally stars Jason Statham.

Ranking the greatest shows in TV history
Mount Fuji rises as symbol of Japan
By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net Just about everyone loves lists — unless you’re on one that begins with an expletive. In the TV universe, a new book and a recent Rolling Stone compendium rank the greatest 100 American shows of all-time. TV: (The Book), by respected colleagues Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz, sees it this way in terms of the Top 10 all-timers (miniseries, non-scripted series, “sketch” comedy shows and ongoing series, with some exceptions detailed by the authors, weren’t deemed eligible). • “The Simpsons” (Fox) • “The Sopranos” (HBO) • “The Wire” (HBO) • “Cheers” (NBC) • “Breaking Bad” (AMC) • “Mad Men” (AMC) • “Seinfeld” (NBC) • “I Love Lucy” (CBS) • “Deadwood” (HBO) • “All in the Family” (CBS) Rolling Stone has no restrictions on its list. Here’s the magazine’s Top 10. 1. “The Sopranos” 2. “The Wire” 3. “Breaking Bad” 4. “Mad Men” 5. “Seinfeld” 6. “The Simpsons” 7. “The Twilight Zone” (CBS) 8. “Saturday Night Live” (NBC) 9. “All in the Family” 10. “The Daily Show” (Comedy Central) Rolling Stone ranks “Cheers” No. 20, “Deadwood” 23rd and “I Love Lucy” all the way down in 32nd place. As noted, “SNL” and “The Daily Show” weren’t eligible for TV: (The Book)’s list
because they’re sketch shows and also are ongoing. “The Twilight Zone” ranks 14th on the Sepinwall/Seitz list. I prefer the Rolling Stone approach, although it’s certainly more unwieldy. That way, my all-time favorite miniseries, CBS’ “Lonesome Dove,” would make the cut and rank 9th in place of “Deadwood.” But Rolling Stone also has some ridiculous choices on its top 100 list, including the likes of “The Jeffersons,” “Good Times,” “Party Down” and “Eastbound and Down.” And it lists “Northern Exposure” as one of the five “Worst Shows of All Time.” Really? Sepinwall/Seitz have “Northern Exposure” ranked 81st among their 100 greatest shows. That’s more like it. My personal top 10 list, going by the TV: (The Book) ground rules, would move “Seinfeld” up to No. 3, “Breaking Bad” ahead of “Cheers” and add “Hill Street Blues” in place of “Deadwood.” “The Wire” would be pushed down to the No. 10 spot, although I know this is heresy to some. But let’s look at this in a different way. Irrespective of quality, what are the most influential TV shows of all-time in terms of both how they molded the TV terrain and their financial impact on the networks that brought them to life? Here’s my list. 1. “American Idol” (Fox) – Year after year, it was the straw that stirred the prime-time drink. No network has ever been more dependent on a single show for such a long duration. “Idol” was both a ratings Goliath and a launch pad for other Fox shows scheduled immediately after it. NBC’s “The Voice” and “America’s Got Talent,” both still going

Ryan Seacrest. strong, are direct descendants. 2. “60 Minutes” (CBS) – It remains a mainstay of its network’s Sunday night lineup and the gold standard of TV news magazines, a format it birthed. For better or worse, NBC’s “Dateline” and ABC’s “20/20” also remain in play. Without “60 Minutes,” they likely wouldn’t exist. 3. “The Tonight Show” (NBC) – Every late night show in captivity — and there are now more of them than ever — is the spawn of Steve Allen’s original blend of talk, stunts and sketch comedy. 4. “The Today Show” (NBC) – The network TV early morning terrain was forever changed when bespectacled Dave Garroway and his bow ties began waking America up. 5. “Hill Street Blues” (NBC) – It was never a big ratings hit. But a new era of intelligent, Emmycaliber ensemble dramas was birthed when NBC turned the cop shop genre on its ears in back in1981. 6. “I Love Lucy” (CBS) – A mega-hit from start to stop, it sowed the seeds of the standard sitcom format. All these years HISTORY cont'd on page 11
Mount Fuji, towering over 12 thousand feet, is both a symbol of Japan and a UNESCO World Heritage site, making a visit almost obligatory if you are in the neighborhood. It’s worth the trip. Only about 60 miles from Tokyo, getting there will still take about 2 hours in traffic. According to my Japanese tour guide, Fuji is the fourth highest peak not in a range. There are 10 “stations,” or stopping points, to the top. Usually the 5th station is always open, except in typhoons. Beyond that, you have to check with the park ranger. You can only drive to the 5th station. Further up is accessible only by trekking, about 6 hours to the top from station 5. Depending on the season, there can be up to 2000 people climbing the mountain. The paths are well-groomed, but the climb is challenging. There are actually four 5th stations on different sides of the mountain. Altitude sickness is the most common ailment among climbers as the oxygen level gets very low as you ascend. Many climbers choose to stay at the summit overnight to witness sunrise, so they climb one day and camp out at the top. Mornings are most likely when the cloud cover will clear to see the top, so it is a good time to see the mountain from any vantage point. The mountain, as explained at an excellent base museum, was formed by several volcanic eruptions. The top is actually a crater. You can walk around the crater — it takes about 1 hour. The area is still seismically active. Japan is in the forefront of predicting activity and would close the site if an event were forecast. For the average tourist, seeing the mountain from the 5th station is good enough. You can also see the mountain from Tokyo on a clear day. But don’t be disappointed if you cannot see the summit as it does frequently cloud over. Fuji provides a serene mountain retreat from the bustle of Tokyo. A Shinto

Many souvenirs are in the form of a triangle, like Mount Fuji itself. Particularly typical is a cookie made to resemble Fuji with icing near the point of the triangle. Gift-wrapped versions are available for those who must find some unique item to take home for the person on your gift list who has everything, but don’t count on these cookies being very tasty. The Japanese don’t favor sugar, and the sweets, including this cookie, are bland. Mount Fuji is surrounded by lakes, and there are several popular resorts in this area. A cable car and various boat trips are available in the nearby city of Hakone. Hakone has a large shopping area which appears to cater mainly to tourists. A popular and unique craft object available here is the yosegi, an inlaid wooden box that opens by sliding its sides in a certain order. It resembles a combination lock in the form of a box. This is a smart souvenir as it is both beautiful and practical, and it’s only made in Hakone. You can easily spend a weekend or a few days in this vicinity on a vacation from Tokyo. On a clear day from the top of the cable car ride you can get a bird’s-eye view of the beauty of this area with all its greenery. It’s easy to see why Mount Fuji has achieved its reputation as a must-see destination. Michael Wald is a travel specialist with special expertise in Panama adventure travel.

LANDMARK cont'd from page 1 According to the State Fair of Texas public relations department, “The State Fair of Texas organization traces its roots back 130 years ago to 1886. In March of 1886, the board of directors of the Dallas State Fair (now known as the State Fair of Texas) voted to purchase 80 acres of land in East Dallas for an exposition site — now known as Fair Park, a national historic landmark and home to the State Fair of Texas since 1886.” The spokesperson continues, “In February of 1887, Directors of the Dallas State Fair and representatives of a rival crosstown fair unite. The reorganized Texas State Fair & Dallas Exposition (now known as the State Fair of Texas) purchases three parcels of land along the western boundary, thereby expanding the East Dallas property to 117 acres. To protect this valuable community asset, the Texas State Fair spurned offers from developers and sold its property to the City of Dallas in 1904 under an agreement that set aside a period each fall to hold the annual exposition.” Executive Director of Friends of Fair Park, Craig Holcomb knows Humann since Holcomb’s term as city councilman in the 1980s. Here’s what he has to say, “[Walter] showed me a whole notebook with charts and drawings about how we could improve Central Expressway without double decking or taking a lot of land. I liked his idea, the cantilevered service roads, but thought the politics of the problem were so intense that he was a brave man. He is not only brave but successful. Look at Central now; that is what he showed me.” HISTORY cont'd from page 10 later, Lucy is still wailing in reruns while the laugh track/live before a studio audience format slowly but surely dies out. 7. “Monday Night Football” (ABC) – Hardly anyone thought this would work — except for Roone Arledge. The NFL’s grip on prime-time is now a given. But it was a high-risk proposition when Howard Cosell and “Dandy Don” Meredith first began trading barbs. 8. “Dallas” (CBS) – J.R. Ewing and his fractured family made prime time fertile territory for the broad, backstabbing soap opera genre. “Dynasty, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest” and many other imitators followed suit.

Holcomb continues, “Walter has incredible patience and stamina. Over the past two years, he has done countless public meetings, sometimes answering questions for over an hour, yet he remains determined to create a win-win (one of his favorite expressions) for Fair Park and for Dallas. Privatization of Fair Park has been recommended by planners for 13 years. This is the closest we have ever been to achieving it, and, I think it will finally get done and Fair Park will be the year-round destination it should be.” According to Humann, changes as early as Jan. 2017 are expected to launch Fair Park’s revitalization. “I want to see Fair Park regarded as the premier of signature parks in the nation,” he says. In the Sept. 2, 2016 issue of Katy Trail Weekly, in her regular feature, “CandysDirt,” Candace Evans talks about recent activity regarding Fair Park’s future and possible privatization. See it at http://bit.ly/2dSHV4w. Her blog, CandysDirt.com, hosted a town hall panel discussion on the topic on Aug. 29, and about 250 attended.

9. “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” (ABC) — It was rather quickly run into the ground with over-exposure on too many nights. But its initial mega-hit status made game shows major players in the prime-time mix. And on ABC at least, they still are. 10. “The Sopranos” (HBO) – A network primarily known for “The Hitchhiker” graduated to major acclaim when it got mobbed. Numerous premium and basic cable networks since then have followed suit and put themselves on the map with take-notice, scripted series that pay extra dividends at Emmy time.

CIRCLE TEN COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Fifty-five thousand young people, in twelve counties, are given life skills and are guided in becoming citizens of character.
By Sally Blanton
sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
Q What is your facility like?
A In addition to our two service centers in North Texas, Circle Ten Council operates four camps – Camp Wisdom, Clements Scout Ranch, Camp Constantin, and Camp James Ray. Last year more than 47,000 local youth participated in programs at these four camp facilities.
QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?
e mission of the Circle Ten Council, Boy A Th
Scouts of America, which was founded more than 100 years ago, is to partner with families across North Texas to develop young people into citizens of character by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The values and life skills gained through Circle Ten programs build a sense of purpose and create an individualized path for a young person to reach his or her full potential.
Q H ow many young people are served each year?
A Circle Ten Council covers 12 counties, and
more than 55,000 youth members participate in Scouting each year, working with more than 14,000 adult volunteer leaders. Additionally, Circle Ten Council serves over 12,600 disadvantaged youth through its ScoutReach program.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches
those in need? Approximately 87 cents from every dollar of revenue goes to provide program services, activities, training, and camp opportunities for Scouts and Scout Leaders.
A
QW hat are your critical needs now, besides
money donations? We need adult volunteers to work directly with the youth, serve in an advisory role on a committee, or assist with special projects. Any adults, who would like to make a difference in the lives of youth, may contact us at 214-902-6700.
A
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community? Scouting instills all the tools necessary for today’s young people to become tomorrow’s leaders. Circle Ten recently launched a video series at circleten.org/leadership-series to showcase leadership topics from experienced business, civic and Scouting leaders. “Be Prepared” is more than just a motto for Scouts; it’s a way of life. The BSA’s merit badge program allows youth to explore more than 100 fields of skill and knowledge.

Q S uppose your non-profit received a $20,000
check in the mail today… where would it immediately be put to good use? Twelve thousand, six hundred eight-five economically disadvantaged youth participated in Scouting in 2015 at a cost to Circle Ten Council of $3,030,682. Without the ScoutReach program, thousands of young people could not otherwise afford to be a part of Scouting. Late in 2014, the Circle Ten Council was fortunate enough to start a new one-of-a-kind program in four Dallas middle schools. This works for students who don’t have access to Scout meetings during after school hours. In its first year ScoutReach positively impacted the lives of over 2,200 youth who otherwise wouldn’t have access to Scouting.
