Diverse crowds wowed by dynamic art

By Drew Eubank Crowds attending Aurora-Powered by Reliant in the Dallas Arts District on Friday set a new record for attendance. Early estimates indicate 50,000 people poured into downtown to take in the expansive light, sound, performance and new media event that stretched across the 68-acre district.

“This is fast becoming a signature cultural event for Dallas, where visitors can see unique and top quality artwork unlike anything they’ve experienced before,” Doug Curtis, president

something all of us can be proud of.”

This year’s event featured 80 international, national and local artists. The 19block Dallas Arts District was divided

into sections, curated by six renowned artists. One section included art created by the talented students at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual

Arts, whose campus sits in the district.

DALLAS SUMMER MUSICALS

Internship to leadership, Chairez has big shoes to fill

By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com

In the spring of 2013, Francisco Chairez landed a sweet job as a publicist’s intern for Holt & Associates, working for Dallas’ public relations maven Jo Ann Holt. Because the first touring production he worked was “Wicked,” some have commented that he “started at the top.”

Other entertainment clients he assisted Holt in promoting were the spectacular “Odysseo by Cavalia” and the legendary Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM).

You might say the little kid, who moved with his family from Chihuahua, Mexico to Fort Worth, has made a future for himself through education and work opportunities, none

of which fell in his lap.

At the time Chairez joined Holt, he was a senior at Northwood University (NU) in Cedar Hill, where he earned a BBA, with a specialization in international business. He went on to complete an MBA from NU’s DeVos Graduate School of Business.

While in school Chairez was a generous volunteer, giving time to a number of organizations and receiving recognition by many.

“I like to give back and I’m an advocate for the triple bottom line philosophy: ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,’” the environmentalist said.

He added that it’s his love for Dallas that brought him here.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR CITY?

T

he Dallas Arts District is the largest urban arts area in the United States, and it is home to buildings designed by four Pritzker Prize-winning architects.

The design of buildings, streets, and sidewalks is so familiar to us city folk that we often take the beauty and ingenuity of our city for granted. How well do you know the history of the Arts District and the significant architecture in your city?

The Dallas Center for Architecture (DCA) exists to encourage conversation about why architecture is important to everyone.

“We live in it, we drive in it; it affects our every day,” says Greg Brown, programs director at the DCA. “Architecture is anything that we have done to change the environment. So, if we’re in a forest, we’re not in architecture. But if we’re in a park, we are.”

In 2008, Brown realized that Dallas

did not have a walking tour dedicated to architecture, an activity that all major cities offer. So Brown repurposed the existing Arts District walking tour. The Dallas Center for Architecture now offers walking tours

needs to have an opinion on architecture and the buildings we live in,” says Brown. “We interact with it daily, and whether a building is healthy and safe affects our wellbeing.”

The design and function of a building influences the performance and experience of the people inside it.

of the Arts District, Main Street and West End, as well as quick, twenty-minute teaser tours around Klyde Warren Park.

“The Meyerson was built to have excellent acoustics,” Brown says. “The Winspear Opera House was built to have both good acoustics and flexible space so they can have larger operas. There is a direct correlation for how a building is built and what it is used for.”

Brown says that many people shy away from having an opinion on architecture because they are not architects themselves. “But everyone

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Sleep from A to Zzzzz Little pink ribbons for you and me

By Dr. Beth Leermakers

By David Mullen

bethleermakersphd.com

You don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. Lately this saying applies to sleep. This month I’ve had several very early mornings, getting up at 4 a.m. to be at work by 6 a.m. This week and next, I will take dogs rescued by Society for Companion Dr. Beth Leermakers Animals to DFW airport at 4:30 a.m. to fly to their rescue groups. That’s too early to get up, even for a morning person like myself. Though I do get to bed early, it’s tough to fall asleep by 8:30 p.m. I’ve been running on empty, falling short of the recommended seven hours of sleep.

My recent lack of sleep is due to my schedule. Other times, though, I have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. I lie awake thinking about everything I need to accomplish. When I can’t turn off my brain, it’s tough to relax and drift into dream land. Indeed, insomnia can be a symptom of stress.

Sleep deprivation can cause several health problems, including weight gain and impaired driving. When you’re sleep deprived, leptin (a satiety hormone) decreases and ghrelin (an appetite hormone) increases.

You feel hungrier and need more food to feel full. Drowsy driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control, cognitive impairment after approximately 18 hours awake is similar to that of someone with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05 percent. After about 24 hours awake, impairment is equivalent to a BAC of 0.10 percent, higher than the legal limit in all states.

If you’re not getting at least seven hours of sleep per night, here are a few strategies to increase your sleep: Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual. If you need a reminder to turn off your computer or TV and go to bed, set an alarm.

Limit screen time in the evening. Light from screens alters sleepiness and alertness and suppresses melatonin levels (a hormone that regulates sleep). One study found that people who read on a tablet before bed took longer to fall asleep and felt more tired the next day than people who read printed books, even if they got eight hours of sleep.

Limit caffeine, alcohol and other fluids before bed. One study found that caffeine consumed even six hours before bedtime resulted in significantly diminished sleep quality and sleep quantity. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it often makes it harder to stay asleep.

Prepare your bedroom for sleep: • Remove electronics (TV, computer, tablet, cell phone) from your bedroom • Move your alarm clock across the room. The bright light and electromagnetic field emitted by the clock and its cord may disrupt sleep • Block the light. Use blackout curtains or shades or wear an eye mask • Soundproof your room. Use a white noise machine or wear ear plugs, especially if your partner snores • Maintain proper room temperature (55-75 degrees) • Spray lavender on your pillow, sheets or around the room.

Lavender induces relaxation Create a relaxing bedtime ritual. Take a warm shower or bath, sip a cup of chamomile tea, listen to relaxing music, do a few gentle yoga poses or read a printed book or magazine for pleasure. These activities boost serotonin levels, calming you down and setting the stage for sleep.

Practice progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). In PMR, you alternately tense and relax your muscle groups one at a time, to relax your body and mind. Use a CD, mp3 or app that walks you through the process. Or try deep breathing, guided imagery or meditation.

Distract yourself. To quiet racing thoughts, read an engrossing book or do a word puzzle that shifts your focus.

Keep a worry journal. When you start making mental to-do lists or worrying, jot those items down on a notepad by your bed. Tell yourself you’ll address those concerns in the morning.

If you can’t sleep, get up. Watching the clock while worrying about not sleeping isn’t helping. Wait until you feel drowsy to go back to bed.

That’s right, Eggland’s Best eggs have a little pink EB logo with the ribbons on top of their egg shells. How in the heck did they get the chickens to do that? It’s amazing. Seriously, it is amazing that they were able to stamp the logo on top of an egg in mass production. And the quality was excellent. I can break an egg just looking at it in the refrigerator.

Rarely is the show funny anymore. But I was intrigued by the return of Tracy Morgan on Saturday after his horrific car crash last year.

Bernie Sanders was comedy gold … Without Joe Biden in the 2016 presidential race, there will be one less candidate to parody. I can’t blame Biden for not running. Who would want that job right now? Plus, Biden is turning 73 years old in November 2015, making him 74 in 2016. Time for a good book and a nice glass of warm milk … Who drinks warm milk anyway?

Comedy leads to tragedy

a comedy. And for the patient fans of the Rangers, Andrus’ antics often lead to tragedy.

No better example than in his starring role in game five of the American League Division Series last week in Toronto when the Rangers short playoff run was cancelled.

Midsummer, in analyzing the Rangers final months of the regular season that looked

of famer Adrian Beltre has yet to rub off, one has to question Andrus “cruel intentions.”

When Beltre made it very clear that he doesn’t want his head touched, the first one to touch his head was Andrus.

And this is despite the fact that Beltre has taken Andrus under his wing, like the Skipper took to Gilligan in the old “Gilligan’s Island” series.

The Texas Rangers are the Buffalo Bills of Major League Baseball. And shortstop Elvis Andrus may have become the Rangers’ Scott Norwood.

For the uninitiated, the Bills went to the Super Bowl four consecutive times from 1991-94 with essentially the same team. No team since the AFL-NFL merger won four consecutive conference championships which is no small feat indeed.

It is just when the Bills made it to the big stage, they would flub their lines.

No player personifies the winless Super Bowl run more than placekicker Norwood.

momentum on the Rangers side, Andrus tried to steal third. He was thrown out to end the inning. Everyone knows that a player can’t make the third out on a steal attempt when their team is on a roll. Everyone but Andrus.

Then with the Rangers improbably up 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh, disaster struck. A routine groundball was hit to Andrus to start the inning. He booted it, and the crowd in Toronto turned rabid. A throw in the dirt at second led to a Mitch Moreland error, although it appeared that Andrus could have scooped up the errant throw. Beltre, despite playing with a bad back, made a fine fielding play on a bunt and turned and threw to Andrus for a force play at third.

Andrus dropped the ball. The look on Beltre’s face said it all.

“You let us down, little buddy.”

Four runs later including the infamous Jose Bautista bat flip after a monstrous home run and the Rangers season was over.

Andrus has replaced Nelson Cruz as the Rangers Scott Norwood. But right field (Cruz’ position) is the ninth most important defensive position. Shortstop is number one.

Next year’s cast of Rangers appears again to be much the same as this year, with some returning to the main stage. Everyone awaits the reappearance of pitcher Yu Darvish from surgery. The Rangers will look for a right handed bat, additional pitching and probably an everyday catcher in the offseason.

But it would be best if the 2016 season begin with Elvis Andrus in another uniform.

And for many, “parting will not be sweet sorrow.”

YOUTH WITH FACES

Helping youth, returning home from the juvenile justice system, stay out of trouble, find jobs and beat the odds stacked against them.

By Sally Blanton

sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.

QW hat is your mission or highest purpose?

A Y outh With Faces, previously known as Youth Village Resources, helps youth in the juvenile justice system build the character and skills they need to succeed when returning to their families and communities. We have a strong track record of helping them stay in school, secure jobs, stay out of trouble and generally beat the odds stacked against them.

Q How many kids are served each year?

A We’ve been serving about 200 young men ages 12 to 17 annually. We expect that to double now that we are launching our programs for young women at Letot Residential Treatment Center.

QW hat percentage actually reaches those in need?

A M ore than eight out of 10 dollars are spent on programs for the youth we serve.

QW hat is your facility like?

e work in three Dallas County juvenile detention facilities and AW

add things you might not expect to see in these environments. For example, we host culinary classes where youth learn job skills from trained chefs and welding classes to teach them a valuable trade. The teens participate in dog training, which helps them build patience, responsibility and teamwork skills while helping rescue dogs find permanent homes. We’ve also planted gardens with youth in our horticulture program and remodeled a building to create new classroom and computer lab space.

QW hat sort of volunteer jobs are available?

A One of the most important things we can do for these youth is

provide positive role models. We have opportunities for volunteers to mentor, teach classes and help with graduations or conduct mock job interviews. We also need donations of clothes and reading materials, plus help with projects like gardening, painting and special events.

Q T ell us the name of a volunteer who always goes

beyond the call of duty?

Restaurateur and entrepreneur Tristan Simon. He was part of the brain trust behind our culinary program and Café Momentum and has been invaluable in connecting us with the community. The restaurant is now a separate, successful social enterprise,

A

and its culinary interns are primarily Youth With Faces graduates.

Now, as a board member, Tristan is helping us explore new social enterprise ideas to create opportunities for the youth and revenue to support the mission.

QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community?

e transform lives. These are kids who typically come from very AW

troubled backgrounds — poverty, abuse, homelessness and neighborhood violence. Without a strong foundation in life or positive adult influences, more than half of youth in the Texas juvenile system will re-offend within three years. In contrast, nine out of 10 Youth With Faces grads beat that cycle of crime and incarceration.

The taxpayer savings are staggering — it’s estimated to be at least $1.7 million in lifetime savings per youth. The youth we work with are completing their educations, becoming great employees and developing into responsible parents.

QW hat is rewarding about your job?

A F or me, it’s seeing these kids begin to believe in themselves for the

first time. We’ve seen kids who have thought they might not live to turn 20 years old, much less finish school, stay out of jail and build a good life. A whole new world and future is opened up to them.

Q I n a short paragraph please tell how a specific person or family was helped.

A O ne young man, let’s call him Joe, came from poverty and a vola-

tile home environment. His mother was unemployed and in poverty, and her boyfriend was a drug dealer who was ultimately shot and killed. Joe realized through Youth With Faces that life is a series of small decisions that can have huge impact on your life.

Today, he has two jobs, including one as a security guard, and he is getting a college degree. His life has taken an entirely different trajectory.

Q S uppose your nonprofit received a $20,000 check

in the mail today … where would it immediately be put to good use?

Without a doubt, we would use that check to expand capacity. There are more than 6,000 youth in the Dallas County juvenile justice system annually, and that’s just one county in our region. We have a program that works. We need to reach more kids so we can help them turn their lives around.

A

Chris Quadri, CEO, answered this week’s questions.

Pennington and Joshua King, and the nonprofit AT&T Performing Arts Center. The Center and the founders joined forces to create a sustainable platform so Aurora could grow in scope and quality this year, and in the future.

“Aurora has entered a new stratosphere,” King said. “The sheer amount of extraordinary talent drawn into one place for one special night is something you don’t see very often and continues to redefine the cultural reputation of Dallas in a major way.”

Among the major installations was a new version of the video projection by German artist Leo Kuelbs and the artist collective 3 search. To the voice of an opera singer performing below, the images projected onto the Wyly Theatre made the cube-shaped building appear to contort, rise and fall.

At nearby mixed-use, high-rise One Arts Plaza, artist Memo Atken projected a series of beams two miles into the sky, which created music when the lasers crossed and amazed the audience below.

And a few blocks away, visitors could walk down “Memory Lane,” a long line of projected images of Dallas in the last century, provided by people from across North Texas.

This year’s Aurora included installations at a number of neighboring cultural and commercial institutions including the Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Collection of Asian Art, Dallas Museum of Art, Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas City Performance Hall, Klyde Warren Park, Trammel Crow Center and the new HALL Arts. Installations were also created in the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, St. Paul’s Methodist Church and First United Methodist Church.

ALONG THE GREEN TRAIL

@naimajeannette

Candy time, otherwise known as Halloween, presents an opportunity to become aware of an international environmental issue that makes its way into our homes every day.

With a wide variety of candy at your disposal this time of year, ingredient lists allow discovery of just how entwined palm oil is in our lives. Chocolate, licorice, hard sugar candies and everything in between most likely contains palm oil. Palm oil is in more than 50 percent of products in the grocery stores from milk to makeup and of course, candy.

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil grown in lush climates around the world.

In the past 30 years, palm oil production has grown remarkably, and today about a third of all vegetable oil used worldwide is derived from the oil of palm trees. Eighty five percent of all palm oil produced is exported from Indonesia and Malaysia. Palm oil plantations are created by slash and burning rainforests, which destroys wildlife habitat and releases large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. This habitat destruction has led to vast

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK

By Stella Wilder

The coming week will see the vast majority of individuals dealing with conflicting reports and misleading perceptions. The search for a solution to this potentially dangerous problem will surely characterize each and every day to some extent. Some may see the situation as one that requires escape; others, one that only close examination can resolve; and some will actually be at the center of the maelstrom, making things worse. It is this last group that is most influential, of course; while they are not necessarily in the way by design, intentions and results are simply not always in sync. However, those who are taking on this role of "bad guy" must be dealt with — head on and fearlessly, but as diplomatically as possible.

Some may be surprised to learn that while they are trying to clarify things and come up with solutions, they are actually part of the problem.

Nothing is permanent, of course, and it is quite possible to change behavior, alter course and work for the common good before it is too late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You must approach your problems one at a time and work on them with no more than the tools actually required. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You can mount an aggressive campaign and achieve your goals by going not around, but through, the current problem.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may be called upon to make a sacrifice. Even though it seems insignificant at first, it will mean much later. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – It's important to keep your duty squarely in mind as you deal with several distractions. Stay on task.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) Your best bet is to join forces with someone you might have stood against in the past. New circumstances require a new strategy. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – A minor error has you scrambling to undo unexpected consequences, but you can't do this entirely on your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may feel that you are ready to move on to something else, but you won't be able to until a loose end is tied up. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You can demonstrate a great deal of inner strength, and many will choose to follow you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) The only way to get things done is to lead the way for those who are charged with helping you. Don't second-guess yourself. (March 6-March 20) – Your ability to do what others cannot will win you a great deal of

attention and praise — and perhaps some criticism, too.

ARIES (March 21-April 4) There is much good to be uncovered even as you deal with a seemingly cloudy outlook. Not everything is as it appears. (April 5-April 19) – You'll want to clear your path before heading out in a new direction. This may take more time than expected.

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Questions of security and financial solvency are likely to be ever-present. You will want to explore even unusual options. (May 6-May 20) – That which is rare or yet undiscovered will be of great interest to you. You can enjoy experimentation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You're working on a plan that may take more time than anticipated to put in motion — you must account for unseen variables. (June 7-June 20) – You're likely to receive assistance from an unfamiliar source.

You'll want to decipher a rather cryptic message.

care about the public’s opinion ­— join the Rainforest Action Network (ran.org) and The Union of Concerned Scientists (ucsusa.org) in their work to encourage large companies to adopt strong deforestationfree and socially-just palm oil commitments.

PepsiCo, a member of the RSPO and maker of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, Cheetos and Lays potato chips to name a few, recently announced their palm oil commitment with one big loophole: their commitment does not include the world’s biggest producer of palm oil, Indonesia. Empty commitments from big companies such as this are not improving the social and environmental effects of palm oil.

This Halloween pick up your candy and the milk you’re going to dip your chocolate in, turn it over and read the ingredients. Palm oil is identified on labels as more than 30 alternative names such as palm kernel oil, palmitate, and in soaps as sodium laureth sulfate. It’s imperative that we as consumers connect the palm oil that has infiltrated our lives with the worldwide devastation of significant habitats.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Hungary? Head to Amoury D.E.

By Sara Newberry

We didn’t finish it.

The chicken paprikás was one of those wonderful examples of a comfort food being successfully elevated by a chef without losing its home-cooking appeal. The chicken was perfectly tender, and its creamy, tangy sauce was worth sopping up. Brown

excellent burger. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but was juicy and flavorful, topped with aged cheddar and served on a fluffy grilled bun. It’s the thing that I can’t stop thinking about. Fries were what they should be: golden, crisp and just salty enough.

If you’re in the mood

I would be willing to bet that no one thought the space once occupied by Kettle Art would one day be home to a Hungarian restaurant. I guess it still isn’t, technically, because Armoury D.E. isn’t so much a Hungarian restaurant as it is a bar and restaurant with a few Hungarian items on the menu. But it’s the closest thing we’ve got here in our neck of the woods.

Most people have heard of the two most famous Hungarian dishes, gulyás (aka goulash) and paprikás (paprikash). Both are stews, with gulyás being the more soup-like of the two. Paprikás is often made with chicken and served with dumplings or noodles. Armoury D.E. includes both of these dishes, as well as a few other lesserknown dishes.

TRAVEL

Sweet at home on the USS Alabama in Mobile

By Michael Wald

wald.world@yahoo.com Situated on a sliver of land that juts out toward the Gulf of Mexico, Mobile County is Alabama’s primary link to the magnificent beaches of the nearby Gulf, knowledge of which Mobile, residents somehow manage to keep relatively unknown and unspoiled. To get to Mobile you cross a large, swampy bay, and approach by tunnel, frequently congested due to its merger of many lanes into just two. Fortunately, you do not need to enter Mobile to visit its main attraction, the USS Alabama, the World War II battleship, which sits preserved in dry dock in the middle of the bay. Next to the battleship is the Drum, a submarine, dry docked above water. The surrounding park is filled with military gear — tanks and planes — and a covered warehouse contains even more, forming a compelling museum of war.

Admission is $15 per person, but $2 discount coupons are widely available. A $2 parking fee is required.

The cost is minimal when you see what you get. If you have time, you can easily spend an entire day here. The battleship itself has three “guided” tours: red, yellow, and green.

You can download an app on your smartphone to tell you where to turn and what you are looking at, but the exhibits are well marked with signs and are consecutively numbered. Each tour takes at least 30 minutes.

So with time for bathroom stops and rest, the minimum time you should leave for the battleship is two hours. The submarine Drum takes another 30 minutes minimum. Leave time for the other exhibits.

The warship is not an easy trek as you move from

one ship level to another by climbing the same stairs that the sailors used, nearly vertical with just a slight angle. It is strenuous. The Drum isn’t particularly easy either, especially if you are tall. You have

to grab a handle and squat down to get through the portal doors that used to seal off one compartment of the submarine from the other.

What is most fascinating is just how complicated the

sophisticated electronics and navigation systems were even back then. Still you get the feeling that the entire system could be put on a laptop computer today. The guns of various caliber are enormous, as

are the chains in the anchors.

Everything is on a giant scale, reflecting the giant effort the U.S. put forth to win World War II. The red tour takes you below deck to the stern of the

ship. The tour passes cramped crew living quarters, the kitchen and bakery for the crew, barber shop, laundry, tailor and pressing shop, cobbler shop, garbage disposal room, prison and the ship’s store.

The store contains products that will bring back memories for older Americans. At the end of the red tour, if you have energy for more, you can choose to start another color tour where the red one ends, as all tours begin and end in the same location.

The green tour also goes below deck but to the front of the ship. You see the warrant officer’s quarters, Marine Corps living spaces, post office, infirmary and doctor’s offices, dental office, chapel, engine room, radio room and navigation room. How is the ship controlled? A compass with a gyroscope the size of a small refrigerator was used.

And aiming the guns took a large number of instruments with a wall full of dials to accurately account for the constant roll of the ship.

The yellow tour includes the officers’ and chaplin’s living quarters, the captain’s dining room and many of the gunning posts. You also get great views of the bay from on deck. A movie at the beginning of this tour is worth watching even if that is the only thing you do.

Before you leave, walk through the warehouse of planes to see the Drum and its torpedoes. If you have the stamina, there is still a field of planes outside to see. At the end of all this, you’ll definitely be ready for a nap.

TRAIL TO GOOD HEALTH

Halloween that won’t scare nutrition expert away

By Megan Lyons

megan@thelyonsshare.org On Halloween, the average child gets 91 pieces of candy each year, which equates to more than 40 days worth of added sugar! I have no problem with letting your children enjoy the holiday, but it’s easy to go overMegan Lyons board on candy. Sugar can be detrimental to children abilities to focus, leading to unstable blood sugar levels and more cravings and weakened immune systems. And let’s not forget the well-known consequences of too much sugar, such as dental problems and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. So while I don’t think you need to eliminate candy all together, here are a few ways to make candy less of a focus (and a few healthy recipes to enjoy!): • P ortion it: Allow your children to eat a few pieces of candy on Halloween night and then collect the remainders. Keep the bag out of sight. (We are far more likely to crave — ­ and eat ­— what is visible to us in our kitchens, which is why I always suggest storing fruits and vegetables on the countertop!) Allow each child to choose one piece every other night or other interval of your choosing.

• Keep it … for a while: Take the previous tip one step further by having a date (I suggest one to two weeks) when you will get rid of all remaining candy. At this point, the POOCH cont'd from page 1 sieve but makes sure that all pet hair is trapped and doesn’t clog pipes.

Like taking a young boy for a haircut, there must be resistance to a dog knowing he is being taken for a ride to get a bath. “Labs and water dogs.

They jump right up to the tub and can’t wait to get in,” O’Loughlin said. “They are ready to go. People that condition their dogs to this type of behavior have it easy, whether they want to self wash or not.

We can tell the dogs that have been groomed a lot.”

Self-service dog washes vary in price from $12 to $23 based on the size of the dog.

Full service applications — which include bath, dry, ear cleaning, nail trim and light brush out — are from $20 to $50. Grooming services are

priced on a different scale.

There are several package deals available. Options include nail polish and teeth cleaning. I did not see an option for “new dog” fragrance.

“I’m thinking that the self wash will catch on,” O’Loughlin said. “I think it’s great for people to socialize and be around other dogs and around other people. Makes it more of a meeting place in that respect.” In the reception area is a wall of dog pictures just taking shape, reflective of a business that has only been in operation since Oct. 1.

O’Loughlin, 48, is father of three children and lives with his wife in Lakewood.

He has a degree in political science from Florida State University. “I thought I was going into politics. Then I came out here and worked for a friend of mine who had

children may not even miss it!

• Donate it: There are several organizations that will collect unwanted Halloween candy. Halloweencandybuyback. com is one of these, and many dentists will also trade money for your children’s candy.

• Substitute it for healthy treats: Instead of focusing just on candy, here are a few fun treats to enjoy Fall flavors without the sugar nightmare: • Three-minute apple “pie:” Chop up an apple into bitesized pieces, and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon.

Microwave for one minute or until softened. Top with a spoonful of almond butter, a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt and a crumbled low-fat graham cracker. You’ll be shocked at how much it tastes like “real” apple pie!

• Simple pumpkin pudding: Try mixing 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into a cup of vanilla Greek yogurt.

Add a sprinkling of chia seeds for an extra health boost!

• Boo-nana Pops: Try sticking a few chocolate chips (two eyes, one nose and an “o” as a mouth) into a banana, stuck onto a Popsicle stick. Freeze and enjoy as a sweet treat!

The modern dog baths at petbar. some gyms. Then I slowly moved out of that and went into the tanning world. But that seems to have gone south so I was thinking about what to do next. I was very interested in the pet world and dog world and what that might lead to. I’d like to lead it into a more ranch style, bring dogs out to that, and I would like to build this to bigger

proportions.” O’Loughlin is considering a retail area on the left side of the storefront and possibly serving more as a day care center.

“Pet care is a $76 billion business,” O’Loughlin said.

So the concept of petbar dog wash and spa in the Park Cities seems palpable, especially when you’ve got everything down to the last detail.

seated. More often, the plastic bearing locks into the metal tray ­— referred to as a “fixed bearing.” Some theoretical advantages to the rotating platform concept when it was initially designed was that it could reduce the wear of the plastic bearing, reduce the rate of loosening of the metal parts, and better replicate how a patient’s knee works (kinematics). Most current data shows that after five to 10 years in use, there does not appear to be any difference between rotating platform and fixed bearing designs in any of these outcomes.

Will my surgeon use a computer, robot or custom cutting guide in my surgery?

There are many studies attempting to evaluate these emerging technologies and their influence of the success of surgeries. Each of these technologies has a specific goal that has fueled its development (i.e. more accuracy in implant placement, more efficient or faster surgery, etc.).

To date, there appears to be both pros and cons to each of these technologies, but more research is required to determine what advantage, if any, these may offer. The best approach is to discuss this topic with your surgeon. You may want to know if they use one of these technologies, why they have chosen to do so, and what their experience has been in using it.

CHAIREZ cont'd from page 1 go-to guy for a Starbucks run to escorting cast members to do television and radio interviews and performances. “I enjoyed going around town, with my good friend, DSM’s ‘Limo’ George,” Chairez said.

Last year, when Holt retired as DSM’s publicist, her intern Chairez, stepped into the position, quickly realizing what large shoes his predecessor left with him.

According to Chairez, he wasn’t planning on doing PR, with his studies being in the corporate direction. “It wasn’t in my career path to fill such big shoes and work on multimillion dollar Broadway productions.”

“One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned from Jo Ann has been that the delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves,” Chairez said. “This is what she allowed me to do. Like me, she has given many PR professionals their start, especially around Dallas.” He quipped, “I’m sure I was her favorite!”

Chairez is a member of the Broadway League, Public Relations Society of America, Press Club of Dallas, Hispanic Communicators of DFW and World Affairs Council of DFW. He has family in both Fort Worth and Chihuahua.

In May he attended the Broadway League’s

Francisco Chairez is grateful to Jo Ann Holt for opening doors for him as a mentor and tutor. conference in New York, which gave him a better understanding of how to publicize and promote a show before its tour comes to Dallas.

Today the publicist is attending the Broadway League’s Road Marketing Forum in Orlando, FL. “My purpose there is to meet with tour marketing teams, producers and industry professionals I work with routinely,” he said. He added that he values all of these opportunities to learn and grow in his position through press agent marketing presentations, panel discussions, networking opportunities and more.

Paulette Hopkins, DSM’s Director of Marketing and Patron Services commented, “Francisco is creative and brings additional energy to our team. We are excited to see him grow and the new initiatives he will bring to DSM.”

Chairez said, “I am blessed to have found my niche so early in my career and thank the Lord for all his blessings and the amazing people he has surrounded me with. I am proud to say that I am a product of the most incredible women on earth who have mentored and shaped me into the person that I am today.”

“Francisco is energetic, a quick learner and studying with Paulette Hopkins’ leadership is a plus,” Michael Jenkins, DSM’s president and managing director, said.

Here’s a piece of inspiration Chairez picked up from Tony Award-winning director Jack O’Brien, who will direct “The Sound of Music” next month for DSM: “Your life is a loop and if you live long enough you get to come around again.” Chairez has another mantra that goes, “Your life is a book, so make it a best seller!”

MOVIE TRAILER

‘Crimson Peak’ becomes flat early in film

By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood

When “Crimson Peak” introduces Edith (Mia Wasikowska), she's an independent young woman, intent on becoming a successful author, bucking the system in which women of the late 19th century are meant to become nothing more than a man's wife.

Then, she meets Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), and her entire worldview gets a rewrite. Her heart goes a-flutter for this mysterious Englishman, who may as well have a sign around his neck that reads “Villain.”

That is an example of the nonsensical writing on display in “Crimson Peak.”

Director/writer Guillermo del Toro wants to create a world starring a strong, tough heroine but then, since he hasn't a clue how to do it, ditches that plan after 20 minutes and creates a boring, predictable and not frightening ghost story.

That story begins in northern New York as Sharpe approaches Edith’s father (Jim Beaver) in hopes that he will invest in some whacky steampunk-like device that mines the land his family owns in England for red clay. Edith’s family, now without her mother who died of cholera when she was a small child, is quite well off, and it’s blatantly obvious what Thomas’ true intentions are regarding his interest in Edith.

Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska star in Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak."

Speaking of family, Thomas has a whopper of one. His older sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain), oozes creepiness from the second she appears on screen. She whispers into Thomas’ ear and is very, very too chummy with her little brother. The oddest thing about Lucille is her English accent, which is to say she does not have one.

Events that do not favor Edith occur and the next thing you know, she is whisked off to the Sharpe castle in northern England as Thomas’ new wife.

This is all to the chagrin of Dr. Alan McMichael (Charlie Hunnam), who “favors” Edith and suspects something fishy

with the Sharpe siblings. That doesn’t exactly make Alan a super sleuth, as anyone with a partially functioning brain can see these two English folks are clearly up to no good.

When “Crimson Peak” moves to the decrepit Sharpe estate and various clues to the Sharpe’s past surface, it almost picks up some steam.

Ghosts show up in a very grisly manner and begin to haunt Edith, either hoping to chase her away or perhaps warn her. The movie seems to be more interested in giving you the heebie-jeebies as opposed to scares, which is maybe the only positive to take away from it.

Every single plot point falls in line just as you’d expect.

Lucille goes from odd to seemingly dangerous to unhinged, while Thomas helplessly stands by. Edith, who we were dishonestly led to believe is a fierce fighter, becomes a little more than a damsel in distress. She screams out “Thomas!” every time there’s a bump in the night, which doesn’t seem like something her hero, Mary Shelley, would do.

If the story of “Crimson Peak” isn’t bad enough, it’s downright shocking to see a quality actress like Jessica Chastain embarrass herself at such a high level. There are moments meant to be frightening

that come off as laughable, all due to her non-blinking, overtly crazed performance. She is an overacting bulldozer, ignoring the subtlety that “Crimson Peak” is trying to achieve.

There is a moment in which Chastain’s Lucille runs a spoon along the edge of a tea cup creating sounds similar to nails down a chalkboard. This elicited laughter in the theater as it is the equivalent of a Bond villain twirling his mustache while processing his dastardly plan.

The style greatly outweighs the substance for every second of “Crimson Peak.” The scope of the set designs, costuming and cinematography cannot possibly be measured, as they are some of the finest put on a big

screen. It is actually a marvel to look at, even when the story bores you to tears.

There is a moment in “Crimson Peak” that seems like del Toro made the entire movie with a wink and a nudge, his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. It quickly becomes apparent that isn’t the case, and this movie is fully serious without a hint of satire.

This movie, while stylishly amazing, is nothing more than an excuse for del Toro to fit in as many horror tropes that he possibly could. If it felt more like an original, inventive homage to classic horror instead of a script written in 1940 but with modernized effects, “Crimson Peak” may have been worth seeing.
