Tradition is the gravity that pulls us to the State Fair If you’ve ever attended the State Fair of Texas, even once in the event’s 126-year history, you know the talking points.

There’s the landmark spectre of Big Tex calling out “HOW-dee” to passersby while talking up fair activities and, in general, just being a super-huge mascot.

There’s the acreage-eating car show, which doesn’t feature every car and truck made for passengers, but it certainly feels like it walking through the two auto buildings.

There’s the livestock, which city folks treat as curiosities even as the people who know animals marvel at the specimens in their stalls and cages.

There’s the Midway, with row after row after row of fun-looking games that can be tough to win and scream-inducing rides that can be tough to stomach.

And there’s the fried food, which by reputation spreads Texas’ name farther and wider each fall as vendors scramble over each other to come up with new things to fry that are even more over-the-top than cactus, Coke, beer and cookies.

But when you talk with people about the fair, all of that stuff isn’t really what they remember, particularly if they’re longtime attendees who make the trek annually to the country’s most attended fair.

Sure, they talk about the fried food they ate or the stuff they heard Big Tex say, but that’s not what brings them back. Instead, they’re wandering the fairgrounds year after year because it’s a tradition, one maybe that was started by a grandparent or a parent, maybe begun in high school or college, or maybe kicked off themselves when

A D V E R T I S ING P H / 214 . 5 6 0 . 4203 office administrator: JUDY LILES 214.560.4203 / jliles@advocatemag.com

they were married or had kids of their own.

Most people don’t attend the State Fair of Texas because it’s the sexiest, coolest thing going. They show up at the fair because it’s a part of their lives, something they can’t miss any more than they can miss birthdays or anniversaries or first days of school.

Our story in this month’s magazines chronicles some of our neighborhood’s biggest fair-lovers, people who spend the fair’s entire off-season thinking of ways to cook or sew or build their way to glory in Creative Arts contests. But it’s the rare person who sits in a darkened room working on his or her fair plans alone; most of these people, as you’ll note from the story, make this a family affair, with daughters joining mothers and sons helping fathers, and

It doesn’t really make any difference to these people if the weather is hot, if the grease has been around awhile, if the corny dog line is too long, or even if they win a coveted ribbon for their efforts.

They’re not coming to the fair for something to do; they’re coming to the fair because it’s what they do.

Thank you for profiling this exemplary teacher who also coaches all three cheerleading teams (“Q&A: Hilary Rinella,” September Advocate). In addition to providing choreography support for the fall musical, where almost 300 vocal and dance students perform, she also choreographs Dance Explosion in the spring, which includes more than two dozen performances. She sets high expectations, doesn’t accept excuses and has incredible stamina. Hilary is having a positive influence in the lives of hundreds of W. T. White students, and the school is fortunate to have her on staff.

Around the world in 80 marathons Can Türkyilmaz

Clive Miskin wears Winston Churchill’s words, “Never, never, never give up,” on his bracelet when he races — whether on flat pavement in the Dallas heat or up steep glaciers in frigid Antarctica. During the past 20 years, the 53-year-old Preston Hollow resident has run 87 marathons and ultramarathons combined. In October, he will take on 62.1 miles at the Sovev-Emek ultramarathon in Israel. Originally from England, Miskin says he began running to stay fit and, “basically, to allow me to drink beer without looking too ridiculous,” he jokes. He ran his fastest time at the Austin Motorola Marathon, finishing in 3 hours and 12 minutes.

In 2003, he became a proud member of the Seven Continents Club after running The Last Race marathon on St. George’s Island off the northern peninsula of Antarctica. On the course, he saw penguins, sea lions and killer whales. “We were guaranteed that none of us would remember the marathon because we’d be

blown away by the things we’d see. We got to run up real glaciers.

That’s not something you can train for. It was one of the most phenomenal places, basically, completely untouched by man. And the race itself was a blast.” Although Miskin has raced in Paris, Rio de Janiero, Venice and Athens, just to name a few, he’s still a true Dallasite and never misses a chance to run the Dallas Marathon. “A lot of people I know race with me, so it always feels like home,” he says. The sport relies heavily on volunteers. During one of his favorite races, he didn’t race at all. He served as a pacer for his friend during the last 40 miles of the 100-mile Rocky Raccoon Ultramarathon in Huntsville. “In a race that long, your mind starts wandering. Especially after 24 hours, every little thing takes energy.” But, when he decides to tackle his first 100-mile trail run, he’ll have his running buddies by his side. “It’s not the time you run,” he says, “it’s the time you have running.”

Kelly Largent, Bryan DeLuca, Matt Fry, Tom Browning and Matt McClard have a thing for socks. Photo by Danny Fulgencio

Fancy Feet Socks are the new tie, says Preston Hollow resident Kelly Largent. “It’s another way to express yourself.” Add the element of surprise, and you’ve got Foot Cardigan. Largent is one of the five founders of the subscription-based sock-of-the-month club that launched in June. Customers sign up to receive a randomly chosen pair of “delightfully unusual” socks in the mail for $9 a month. “Who gets cool mail anymore?” says Bryan DeLuca. “It’s like playing the lottery, but you always win.” DeLuca came up with the idea for Foot Cardigan during a three-month trip to Europe where he forgot to bring enough socks. “All they had in the store were really weird socks. I bought 10 pair, even though I only needed two. I fell in love with very weird, funny socks.” He pitched the idea to Largent. “He said, ‘Dude, I’m in.’ When Kelly latches onto an idea, you know it’s good. He’s kind of quiet, so when he says something, it matters.” They added to the team Sparkman resident Matt McClard who developed the website, creative genius Matt Fry and Tom Browning, who recently quit his day job to focus on Foot Cardigan full-time. In September, the guys moved from buying socks wholesale to designing and manufacturing their own. Their first project is Sock the Vote, which features two pairs of socks — one embroidered with a Barack Obama image and the other with Mitt Romney. Foot Cardigan ships socks all over the country and has started receiving requests internationally. “For the price of two lattes a month, you get something fun,” Browning says. “You can wear them with uniforms, pants, shorts and, unfortunately, sandals. We neither judge nor condone that.”

Delicious

Southern food

S

ince 1971, Celebration Restaurant has been serving up comfort food with a conscience.

Much of the food is locally sourced, the ground beef is grassfed, chickens are raised in pastures, and a farmer’s market fills the parking lot weekly throughout the summer. “I think our emphasis has always been fresh everything,” says founder and owner Ed Lowe, who references Celebration’s vegetables and made-from-scratch grub. “The big story is the people. The people are what make Celebration what it is,” Lowe says. “It’s a home away from home. People have been coming here for 40 years,” says James Wilkinson, who started as a server and now works as general manager. During those 40 years, weddings, first dates and other memories have been made within the stony walls.

Fermenting questions Castellar brut cava ($10) Spain The wine business is in flux, with forces dragging it in all sorts of directions. Will prices go up, or will they continue at near decade lows? Will consolidation continue on the producer and retail side of the business, and what will happen to prices if they do? Will Texas wine continue to be better made and more easily available? And what’s with the tremendous increase in the popularity of sweet red wine?

The good news for consumers, despite this uncertainty, is that the wine most of us drink will still be well priced, and we’ll have more places than ever to buy it. What’s happening here, with the addition of Spec’s, Total Wine and the soon-to-arrive Trader Joe’s, is happening elsewhere in the United States. And, yes, sales of sweet red wine are approaching levels never seen before — ask anyone who tells you that their favorite wine is Cupcake’s Red Velvet or E&J Gallo’s Apothic.

This month, three wines that reflect what’s going on: CkY^ IfWd_i^ ifWhab_d] m_d[" eh YWlW" _i X[_d] sold close to cost, thanks to increased competition in Dallas and a recession in Spain that has cut demand there. Cheap cava doesn’t get much better than Casteller (around $10), which makes brut and rosé. Both have lots of tight, firm bubbles and long mineral finishes. ;l[hoed[" iWl[ \eh j^[ M_d[ If[YjWjeh and the Texas Legislature, seems to think that local wine is a good idea. Texas growers and producers, who may have had the best harvest ever in 2012, are demonstrating their skill with wines like Llano Estacado’s Viviano (about $26), a red blend that includes sangiovese and has gotten better with each vintage.

Bogle, perhaps the best cheap wine producer in the United States, continues to hold the line on price. Ryan Bogle, whose family still owns the winery, told me earlier this year that they want to make sure their customers get their $10 worth. Check out the sauvignon blanc (about $9), with its citrus and tropical fruit flavors, and you’ll see what he means.

with your wine Everyday lentil soup Lentils, unlike most other dried beans, don’t require pre-soaking or hours to cook. You can get the entire thing done in less than hour, which includes chopping the vegetables. If you want a heartier soup, consider adding sliced smoked sausage or browned Italian sausage. Red wine would pair best, but any wine you like should work.

GROCERY LIST 6 c chicken or vegetable stock

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 c lentils

1 bay leaf

1 onion, chopped

2 tsp cumin

1 carrot, diced

salt and pepper to 1 stalk celery, diced taste DIRECTIONS

1. Brown the vegetables in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil until the onion is soft. Add the garlic, bay leaf and cumin and mix well.

2. Add the stock, bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until the lentils are done, 30 to 45 minutes. Check for salt just before the lentils are cooked. And, if the soup is too thick, add more stock.

Makes 6 cups, takes about 1 hour

Q. Do wine glasses make a difference?

A. Surprisingly, they do. This doesn’t mean that you need to spend $100 on a wine glass, but the better quality the glass, the more you’ll taste of the wine (including any flaws). One rule of thumb: Spend $1 on a glass for each $1 you spend on wine, so that if you drink $10 wine, use glasses that cost $10.

Well-removed from Big Tex and the Midway, past the Cotton Bowl, sits the Creative Arts Building at Fair Park. While it’s not the State Fair of Texas’ sexiest attraction, the sweeping structure is a hub for a relatively unknown subculture: the competitors.

Competitions at the State Fair are aplenty. Among the arts and crafts contests: painting, sketching, needlepoint and Lego architecture. Food-contest categories feature baking with KARO syrup, chili, chocolate, relish, jam, SPAM creations, bread baking and cooking with cheese, to name a few. Collections contest categories run the gamut from apothecary items and thimbles to sports memorabilia and pipes. There are fashion-design contests and diorama competitions. The list goes on and on. We tracked down several neighborhood residents who, through experience, understand the spirit of State Fair rivalry.

susan randall Susan Randall may have one of the most eccentric creative arts entries the State Fair has ever seen. It all started when she received the book “Crafting with Cat Hair” by Kaori Tsutaya for Christmas one year.

So she got to work on her newest hobby with her cats, Jimmie Violin and Pink Steve, as her material.

“I had to wait until the weather got warmer for my cats to start shedding,” Randall says, which is about the time she starts gearing up for the fair.

This year she created five finger puppets in a “cat diorama,” complete with grass and a white picket fence. Jimmie Violin is brown, and Pink Steve is white, so Randall could

mix their hair to create marble patterns. She submitted the piece in the folk art category and took second place.

Randall entered several other — more traditional — creations in the State Fair contests: a knitted stuffed rabbit that placed fourth, 10 canned food items grown from her own backyard garden garnering both first- and third-place ribbons, and a variety of jams, jellies, butters, pickled vegetables, relish and chutney.

Randall says she wasn’t sure how the cat hair finger puppets were going to be received. “The whole idea was nutsy, but I took a gamble and I’m glad I did.” She says she’s been laughing ever since.

jay hoppenstein This is his first time entering a State Fair contest, but Jay Hoppenstein is no stranger to photography competitions.

He’s a member of the Dallas Camera Club and has placed in several of the organization’s monthly contests.

Hoppenstein, a 72-year-old retired Presbyterian Hospital surgeon, has been toting around a camera since he was a teenager.

“I’d say I’m a serious amateur,” he says.

The State Fair photography contests require that the photos be of Texas subjects and taken within the last 18 months. Hoppenstein entered two photos — one color photo of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge at sunrise, which received an honorable mention, and a black-and-white of a World War II veteran and his grandson aboard the USS Battleship Texas. He’s particularly proud of that image, and the judges seemed to like it, too, awarding him first place in the photo contest.

“It’s more journalistic,” he says. “It’s not manipulated.

We’d been on the ship for about an hour, touring and taking photos. Most of the other visitors on board were just getting in our way.”

Then he came upon the scene of the veteran who was holding his young grandson up to look through the viewfinder of the ship’s gun.

“It was just a wonderful moment,” Hoppenstein says.

the gilmores Every summer, the Gilmore siblings busy themselves in the family’s crafting studio above the garage, preparing their entries for the State Fair. All three kids, two sisters and one brother, are working away at the same hobby — quilting.

“I like it when older ladies come up to me and say how they love that young people are quilting. It’s kind of nice,” says Jane Gilmore, 20.

An Ursuline Academy graduate who attends Northwestern University 3BON110034 Advocate Ad_4n625x4n875_1tu.indd 1 9/7/12 2:59 PMmajoring in biochemistry, Jane still spends summers at home, quilting with her sister Linda, 16, and her brother be local John, 18. They each create their own be local pieces for the fair.

Last year, Linda took first place in the juniors division, and John came in second. Jane also has come away with first-, second- and third-place prizes during the past eight years.

Their mother, Linda Burk, turned the kids on to quilting as way to express their creativity.

“These are complex patterns, almost like puzzles,” Burk says. “It’s getting them to think outside the box.”

September 22 - November 21, 2012 Quilting may not be the hottest trend among young people, but Jane is proud of her work.

“It gives me another reason to go to the fair. I like to go with my friends and say, ‘Hey, let’s go see what’s going on in powered by the Creative Arts Building.’ I get to show Chihuly exhibition now thRouGh nov. 5 off a bit.” mos t u s ed log o

edith ingraham The first year Edith Ingraham entered a State Fair contest, she won a blue ribbon.

“That’s the way I got hooked,” she says.

So, every year since 1983, she has been coming back, vying to win another, and another.

“I usually end up with ribbons.”

She’s best known for her culinary skills, having won first place in the 1996 Dallas Morning News Holiday Cookie Contest.

However, Ingraham’s entries span several categories. This year, she entered a knitted piece, polymer clay jewelry, embroidery and a steam punk mask like those worn at Mardi Gras parties.

At the fair, Ingraham also will compete in the ice cream making contest against her daughter, Stephanie Hollowell. It’s an interesting match-up, since Hollowell learned everything she knows about cooking from her mother, and both have racked up awards for their recipes over the years.

“We’re both cutthroat,” Hollowell jokes.

“We’re in it for the glory.”

community Forty-four Preston Hollow girls received the Gold Award from the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. It’s the highest award earned by high school Girl Scouts, comparable to the Eagle Scout award in Boy Scouts. To earn the Gold Award, girls must find an issue they’re passionate about, execute projects and fundraising events related to the cause and recruit others to take action. You can find full list of our neighborhood girls who received the award at prestonhollow.advocatemag.com if you search “Gold Award.”

people Preston Hollow resident Shirley Miller, co-founder of Women’s Issues Network, celebrated Women’s Equality Day at a city program and ceremony in August. The 100plus women who attended the free event wore white to represent the suffragists who lobbied for women to vote.

Preston Hollow resident Leslie Ezelle won HGTV “Design Star: All Stars.” As winner she’ll make another TV appearance that has yet to be announced. Ezelle will also receive $25,000 that already went into the reconstruction of her Preston Hollow home where the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader lives with her wife, Libby Toudouze, and four children. Another part of the money went toward lingering breast cancer bills.

education Dallas County schools are now using cameras to identify cars that do not stop at school bus stop arms. Those identified can be fined $300.

When I was growing up in Pennsylvania, a little-known fact in our small college town was that across the street from our house lived a retired theater professor named Alvina Krause.

When I knew her, she had already been retired for several years from Northwestern University, where she had taught theater and performance studies for 33 years.

What many local residents never knew was that a number of her rather famous former students used to come and stay with Alvina — sometimes for a friendly visit, sometimes for tutoring in an upcoming part, whether on film, TV or stage.

Needless to say, it was pretty interesting to live across the street from these goingson. It was a quiet, dead-end neighborhood; our houses were sandwiched between the local college campus and Dillon’s Hollow, a deep wooded ravine where I spend a good part of my childhood days.

Tucked away in that quiet setting, Alvina would entertain the likes of Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentice, who had come to show off their new baby to their favorite teacher; Tony Roberts, who often collaborated with Woody Allen; or Richard Chamberlain, who spent two weeks with Alvina, studying for a Shakespearian role. One day I came out the door to hear a remarkably deep woman’s voice across the street.

It was Patricia Neal. No one has ever had a voice quite like hers.

After living rather anonymously in Bloomsburg for a number of years, Alvina Krause gave a gift to the community she had come to love. She founded the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble, raising the money to purchase and renovate a movie theater that had been closed for some time. Young actors trying to break into the field and make a living came to town, working as waiters in restaurants while playing parts in Alvina’s productions. Not many fledgling actors have been lucky enough to work with the likes of Alvina,

and the townspeople loved the youth and creativity they brought.

One evening I attended the theater ensemble’s production of Chekhof’s “Three Sisters,” directed by Alvina. After witnessing the struggles of Olga, Masha and Irina, whose dreams of happiness fade and who are forced to seek some semblance of it for themselves, the curtain went down and the applause began. Leaving the theater, I saw Alvina, who was still sitting in the back row. I told her, “Mrs. Krause, that was a wonderful production.”

it was a quiet, dead-end neighborhood, and tucked away in that quiet setting, Alvina would entertain the likes of Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentice.

I will never forget what she did. Taking both my hands in hers and peering deeply into my eyes, she said, “But did it move you?”

As a preacher who thinks sermons ought to have just a little drama, I have always remembered Alvina’s question: “Did it move you?” Because isn’t that what the Word is supposed to do?

Oh, I do appreciate it when someone passes by after worship and says, “Good sermon, pastor.” It’s so nice when someone stops long enough to say, “Thank you for your message.” But someday, thinking of Alvina, I’m going to get up the courage to take their hands in mine, look deeply into their eyes, and answer, “But did it move you?”

After all, isn’t that the test of any sermon: to move us far enough that we’re not in the same place after worship as we were before?

Blair Monie is senior pastor of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church (phpc.org). The Worship section is a regular feature underwritten by Advocate Publishing and the churches listed on these pages. For information about helping support the Worship section, call 214.560.4202.

IT WAS A SMALL SPACE, BUT A BIG CRIME. Martha Dunton went outside and found that her SUV had been broken into. Someone had jimmied the back window. And like so many in the Dallas area, Dunton discovered that her third row seats were gone.

The theft of third row seats is a common crime around here, and the same crime was committed at another home on the same night in her neighborhood.

“Our police patrol says it happens all the time,” Dunton says. “They worked it

The Victim: Martha Dunton The Crime: Burglary of motor vehicle Date: Thursday, Aug. 16 Time: Between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Location: 6300 block of Waggoner

through the back window. At least they didn’t smash the glass.”

A quick YouTube search of this type of crime reveals that a thief can get in and out of a car and make off with these types of seats in mere minutes. In Dunton’s case,

the thieves even removed some cases of water to make their work easier and then placed the water back inside the SUV when they were finished.

While replacing the seats might have been an expensive hassle, Dunton tries to look on the bright side and believes things could have been worse. A broken window would have added quite a bit to the repair bill.

Dallas Police Lt. Richard Dwyer of the North Central Patrol Division reports that there is good news on area law enforcement’s efforts to deter this type of crime.

Just after Dunton’s experience, Highland Park police arrested two suspects for stealing third row seats from vehicles.

“The suspects jimmied or broke out the rear window to enter the vehicles,” he says. “I understand they will be charged with an additional 12 other offenses of the same type of theft. Along with Highland Park, the area around Mockingbird/Greenville has also experienced a rash of third row seat thefts.”

Dallas detectives will be working with Highland Park police to determine if the two suspects may also be responsible for the rash of third row seat thefts in Dallas over the last several months.
