Indictments of members of Carroll’s school board appear to be politically motivated.

County prosecutors are afforded wide discretion when deciding whether to accept criminal cases. In 2016, a special prosecutor found that Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson was not guilty of violating Texas election laws when she used her public office resources to solicit campaign contributions from county employees.

The decision not to prosecute Wilson wasn’t made due to

“The Black Panther Party was the inspiration,” Richardson said. “Always has been, always will be. That’s my favorite blueprint.”

a lack of evidence but rather because special prosecutor Maureen Shelton found no “criminal intent” behind the actions of the Republican DA. While that decision struck many as a reminder of the far-reaching power of Tarrant County’s good-ol’-boy system, few would argue that discretion, when employed fairly, isn’t an important pillar of law enforcement and the criminal justice system writ large. Fort Worth police department officers can now write citations for possession of low levels of marijuana, for example.

In April, Tarrant County’s district attorney office used its discretion to seek the indictment of Carroll school board members Todd Carlton and Michelle Moore for allegedly violating the Texas Open Meetings Act, a state law that protects Texans’ right to access certain governmental meetings. The board members texted each other school matters that should be discussed only during publicly accessible meetings, according to numerous media reports at the time. The indictments followed a closed-door grand jury deliberation between county prosecutors and 12 jurors.

The indictments are a political victory for coun-

The first Black Panther Party Free Breakfast Program took place at a church in Oakland, California, where 11 schoolchildren were provided a hot breakfast of grits, toast, eggs, and milk.

A community fridge program in Fort Worth is taking another step toward their end goal of feeding Funkytown — a Free Breakfast Program for students.

Over half a dozen volunteers with Funky Town Fridge distributed 50 hot meals every morning last week to children, parents, and teachers outside the United Fort Worth Justice Center in Southeast Fort Worth. Some 250 meals were distributed throughout the week.

“We’ve been serving people in this neighborhood that are close enough to where they can be able to come pick up breakfast and then still get their kids to school on time or go to work on time,” said Kendra Richardson, Funky Town Fridge founder.

Throughout Fort Worth, Funky Town Fridge operates a handful of community fridges, also known as “friendly fridges” or “community solidarity fridges,” which offer free food to area residents — no questions asked. The fridges remain stocked through community mutual aid — they

ty judge candidate Tim O’Hare, the Southlake resident and Republican who founded a PAC, Southlake Families, that vehemently opposes the ongoing efforts of Carlton, Moore, and other Carroll school board members to expand diversity and inclusion in school policies and practices. Southlake Families raised more than $200,000 to support a conservative slate of board members who oppose diversity initiatives, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Numerous longtime sources we spoke with said the timing of the DA’s push to criminalize the actions of board members who are frequently targeted by O’Hare’s PAC and his conservative supporters reeks of cronyism.

O’Hare’s recent press releases show that he is using the now-maligned Carroll school board as political ammunition against former Fort Worth mayor Betsy Price, who is widely seen as the moderate Republican candidate of choice for the county judge position.

Carroll school board member Sherri Mills is holding a fundraiser for Price, O’Hare’s team said in a public statement.

A link to the event page was included.

“How can you determine a person’s values and how they will govern?”

O’Hare’s personal statement read. “By looking at the company they keep. In Betsy Price’s case, that’s apparently hardcore Democrats who are hard at work pushing a poisonous and racist curriculum on our children.”

Prosecutions of local open meetings act violations are exceedingly rare in Texas, based on widespread reporting that describes the offenses as hard to prosecute in court. We reached out to staffers and board members with the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD), the Fort Worth school district, Fort Worth city council, and Tarrant Regional Water District for any recollections of open meetings act prosecutions and found none. One open records request we recently submitted seeks examples of any local prosecutions of the open meetings act by Tarrant’s DA in the past 40 years.

Tarrant County’s DA habitually dismisses documented incidents of open meetings act violations, said Daniel “Joe” Bennett, a county politics watchdog who unsuccessfully ran for TAD board four years ago. Bennett described numerous incidents when the Texas law was skirted or outright disregarded by TAD officials and White Settlement school board members before offering this summary of his experience reporting those incidents.

On numerous occasions, Bennett provided information about known violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act to “political subdivisions of the state within Tarrant County,” he told us. “I was rebuked or was never provided a resolution letter. I was placated and dismissed.

Earlier this year, one of our reporters spoke with Keith Lane, former Haltom City chief of police (“The Untouchables,”

Jan 6), who described numerous alleged open meetings act violations on the part of Haltom City councilmembers which occurred after Lane left law enforcement to work as Haltom City’s city manager. After Lane forwarded evidence to Tarrant’s DA office, two special prosecutors were assigned. Four years and no indictments later, Lane said the DA’s office is seeking a “slow death” for the types of violations that Wilson’s office recently pushed for in Southlake. Lane confided at the time that he didn’t have the best professional relationship with Wilson and that may have led to the subsequent bogus investigation into a handful of Haltom City councilmembers.

“I think once you decide that you

want to run for office in Tarrant County, you join a good-ol’-boy system,” Lane told us in January. “They support each other.

They have the mindset of needing to stick together. ‘If we stick together, we’ll get reelected as many times as we want to.’ ” The November 2022 elections will decide two county commissioner seats (including that of the county judge, which Judge Glen Whitley will vacate), Tarrant County’s district attorney, and many other elected positions, both at the local and national levels.

Based on his press releases, O’Hare is positioning himself as the “true conservative” (read: racist lite conspiracy nut) who can upset Price’s “leftist” agenda (“Splitting Hares,” Aug 11).

The gifting of a political Easter egg from one insider Republican to another just as election season ramps up warrants dogged investigation. The Weekly has requested a slew of documents related to the indictments of the two Southlake school board members from the DA’s office, and our readers can expect timely updates in the coming weeks and months. l This column reflects the opinions of the editorial board and not necessarily the Fort Worth Weekly.

Black Panthers across 36 cities.

The original Black Panther Free Breakfast Program was in part inspired by research by nutritionist Adelle Davis showing that eating breakfast in the morning improves students’ academic performance. Realizing that food-insecure Black children would struggle to get ahead in school, the Black Panthers sought to directly address the problem.

The conclusions of this research have been expanded upon in the decades since.

A 2019 article by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that food insecurity leads to “adverse social, physical, and psychological outcomes.” And despite decades of social policy aimed to address racial inequality since the first Free Breakfast Program, these problems persist.

That same article by the NIH showed that, between 2001 and 2016, Black and Latinx households were at least twice as likely to experience food insecurity than non-Hispanic white households. It concluded that “discrimination and structural racism are key contributors to inequity in health behaviors and outcomes.”

Although Richardson said they originally wanted to put forth a larger program, comparatively speaking, Funky Town Fridge is off to a good start.

“We just wanted to start where we could and see how we can expand and how much the community gets behind us,” she said.

Considering their first attempt a success, Richardson said that the Funky Town Fridge team plans to serve free breakfasts for at least a week on an annual basis. In the meantime, they’ll keep working to fill stomachs and win over hearts and minds in Funkytown.

“Community activists and leaders should be just as present in the community as the next influencer or rapper or whoever that these kids look up to,” Richardson said, “so our biggest focus now coming into the second year is focusing on the kids, getting to know them, and letting them get to know us, so that we can open doors to politically educate them as well, so they can have those tools that they need to stand up for themselves.”

Over the last decade, Hard Knocks, HBO’s once vanguardian behind-thescenes docuseries that follows an NFL team during training camp, has become a perennial formulaic rehash of the same old story lines. We’ve become conditioned to root for comebacks by formerly injured players and to fall in love with amiable, bottom-of-the-roster no-names only to share in their pain when they’re ultimately cut in the last episode. We’ve watched countless hours of the same generic, bloviating, and profanity-laden coach’s speeches and rolled our collective eyes at the obviously staged, “silly” offfield antics. If it weren’t for the uniforms and camera resolution changing by the year, it would be impossible to determine which season is which. It’s become as predictable as your well-meaning aunt sending you vaccine misinformation through Facebook Messenger.

And I can’t get enough of it.

Though the tropes are as familiar as that smell in your house that you no longer smell because you’re so used to it — but make no mistake, other people still smell — I’m obsessed with the show. The hair on my arms still stands at hearing the theme’s triumphant horns. I am still soothed into practical liquidity by narrator Liev Schreiber’s dulcet baritone and his Hugo Weaving-esque phrasing. I’m still fascinated by even the few random seconds of footage in meeting rooms or of film dissection. I am as enthralled as ever by the Renaissance beauty of slow-motion images of 300-pound human slabs of beef blasting into each other with the full force of the Kool-Aid Man on PCP. It is annual stop-down television for me, so at whatever point over the summer I learned that my favorite team would be this season’s subject, I, like Coach Mike McCarthy,

“almost drove my truck off the road.” (I drive a Prius, but you get the point).

However, sadly, through the two episodes that have aired as of the time of this writing, I have to say I’m a little underwhelmed and I’m not really sure why. America’s Team™ is rife with Hard Knock’s usual fodder. The stuff the producers live for has been tee’d up and highlighted in glowing radioactive ink — Dak’s ankle injury recovery, Zeke’s childlike goofiness, a rookie phenom in Micah Parsons, and of course Jerry Jones’ crack-like camera addiction. This should have been set up as the greatest season of the series ever. Perhaps it’s those very expectations playing on me, but this year, the show just seems flat. With the exception of Dak’s opening dialogue about scars, the most riveting revelation has been how much salt Jerry sprinkles

on a breakfast sandwich. (Startlingly, it’s enough to raise the resting systolic blood pressure of an African white rhino by 30mmHg.) In fairness, a new shoulder injury has stalled what likely would have been the series’ main thread: Dak’s progress toward inevitably winning Comeback Player of the Year. (Mark it!) Though there are potentially several other intriguing story lines, HBO seems hard-pressed to be able to find them. When second-year quarterback Ben DiNucci has to carry an episode, you know you’re in trouble. His presence on camera is every bit as groaninducing as his presence on the field.

Rookie linebacker Micah Parsons has been one of the few bright spots.

Aside from dominating in practice and his limited play in the preseason games (ignoring his pleas, DC Dan Quinn has capped the first-round pick’s snap count), he’s shown personality and intelligence (despite being routed by The Nooch at chess). His camera time has certainly helped shed some of his questionable off-field behavior at Penn State, and he’s quickly becoming an easy guy to root for.

Aside from Parsons, the biggest glaring reveal by the show so far has been in laying bare exactly what an out-oftouch dork Mike McCarthy is. Showing clips of predominantly white audienceappreciated comedy to mostly Black athletes who were in diapers when it was originally in theaters is not necessarily the sign of an effective motivator. “Mojo moments?” That’s the best you’ve got? I guess at least he’s moved up a few decades from the Gallagher routine he was running last year to get his team to play.

By the time eyes read this, a new episode will have aired, and it might end up being the best hour of television since Breaking Bad’s “Felina,” but I have the fear that the Cowboys brass has a lock on what content can be shown and are allowing only the driest and most boring details to air, and it will largely continue the yawninducing quality of this year’s series. But, hey, I’m a sucker for it and will be tuned in all the same. l

Two Texas Rangers icons were honored at Globe Life Field recently — one for his play on the field, the other for his voice and stadium entertainment.

Adrian Beltre and Chuck Morgan became the 23rd and 24th members inducted into the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame prior to the Rangers-A’s game last Saturday.

More than 30,000 fans witnessed the pregame ceremony, many of them wearing Beltre’s No. 29. Riding on the back of pickup trucks, both inductees made their way from the left field entrance to the front of the visitor’s dugout, where they were met by family members, Rangers executives, and other Texas Rangers Hall of Famers, including Tom Grieve, Toby Harrah, Jeff Russell, Jim Sunberg, Michael Young, Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez, Ferguson Jenkins, Eric Nadel, and Richard Greene.

Prior to any speeches, there were video tributes shown on the stadium’s two giant

Chuck Morgan has not missed announcing a Rangers game since April 4, 1983.

video boards. Among those congratulating Morgan, who has announced more than 3,000 consecutive games, were Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki, both repeating Morgan’s signature saying, “It’s baseball time in Texas.” Other tributes came from former Rangers legends Will Clark and Nolan Ryan. Actor Mathew McConaughey and TV host Pat Sajak also saluted Morgan for his induction.

Beltre also heard tributes on the video board. The first one was from his good friend and former teammate Elvis Andrus, who is now with the Oakland A’s. Andrus really wanted to be there for his friend but had to be with his wife Cori in California for the birth of the couple’s third child, a boy. Andrus did congratulate Beltre, whom he called his “big brother” for his amazing career and well-deserved recognition.

Also paying tribute to Beltre were Ryan, Jenkins, and Rodriguez, all of whom are in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Beltre will most likely join them in Cooperstown in 2024, when he becomes eligible for election to baseball’s highest honor.

Morgan’s old microphone is already in Cooperstown. When the season ended last year, the Rangers received a call from Hall of Fame officials requesting the famous microphone Morgan had used since becoming the Rangers’ public address announcer in 1983. It is now showcased next to the mic of Bob Sheppard, the Yankees’ legendary PA announcer.

It was a unique ceremony in that all members of the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame were presented with blue blazers with the Hall of Fame logo on the pocket.

Rangers Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Kellie Fischer placed the blue jacket on Morgan, signifying his induction.

“We grow up with baseball, we grow old with it,” said Morgan, who loves to visit with fans before and after games in his enclosed booth behind home plate.

Visiting Morgan’s booth is part of the Globe Life Field tours. He likes to meet with guests and talk about having “the best job in the world.” While he has announced several no-hitters and Kenny Rogers’ perfect game in 1994, he said his most memorable game was Oct. 23, 2010, when rookie pitcher Neftali Feliz struck out slugger Alex Rodriguez to send the Rangers to their first ever World Series.

The former Nashville DJ has announced games in all three Rangers stadiums beginning on April 4, 1983, when he announced the starting lineups for the Texas Rangers’ season opener with the Chicago White Sox, and he has not missed a game since.

In his nearly four decades with the club, he has been responsible for the team’s annual fan feasts and the creation of the popular dot race with his famous saying, “Remember, this is an exhibition, no wagering please.”

Four-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove recipient Adrian Beltre played eight seasons with the Rangers, batting .304 with 199 home runs and 699 runs batted in.

Ironically, he also played a significant role in the creation of the Texas Rangers Baseball of Fame in 2003, to honor those individuals who have excelled for the franchise both on and off the field.

Following the induction ceremony, Morgan quickly returned to his booth to announce his 3,059th consecutive game.

Next to be inducted was Adrian Beltre, who received his blue jacket from former teammate and fellow Texas Rangers Hall of Famer Michael Young, the man he replaced at third base.

The four-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove recipient played eight seasons with the Rangers, batting .304 with 199 home runs and 699 runs batted in. He won the Rangers Player of the Year award four times and earned a pair of Silver Slugger Awards. His 21-year Major League career included stints with the Dodgers, Mariners, and Red Sox. The Rangers retired Beltre’s number on June 8, 2019, during a pregame ceremony at Globe Life Park, one of only six numbers retired by the Rangers franchise.

“First of all, what an honor to be inducted into the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame,” Beltre said. “This is unreal. I want to thank you fans for the support over the years, always being there for our team and knowing we always wanted to give you the best show we can. For that, I will always be grateful.”

He also thanked his former managers, coaches, and teammates, including Mitch

Moreland and Jake Diekman, who are now with the A’s.

Beltre ranks among the Rangers’ lifetime leaders in homers (4th), RBI (6th), batting average (6th), extra base hits (6th, 448), hits (7th, 1277), total bases (7th, 2133), games (9th), at bats (9th, 4194), and doubles (9th, 239). Beltre hit at least .300 five times and drove in 100-plus runs on three occasions as a Ranger. His .332 average as a Ranger at Globe Life Park was the highest in the 26-year history of the park.

For many Rangers fans, however, his more memorable game was on July 30, 2017, when he ripped a double down the third base line against Orioles pitcher Wade Miley for his 3,000th career hit.

Fans cheered not only at Globe Life Park but also 1,621 miles away in Cooperstown, where minutes earlier, Rodriguez had just completed his remarks after being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

While many Rangers officials and fans, including myself, were in Cooperstown for the occasion, Chuck Morgan was on the mic announcing Beltre’s historic moment.

Both now are enshrined in Rangers baseball lore. l Ozzie Garza has been writing about the Rangers for more than 20 years. He is a frequent contributor to the Fort Worth Weekly.

themselves embroiled in an investigation of a longrunning conspiracy that established the hierarchy that rules the town and become targets of the oligarchs that the conspiracy empowered. The “truth” that one of the oligarchs imparts to Danny and Ronnie toward the end of the tale isn’t necessarily mind-blowing because one suspects it could be heard from any number of the extremely wealthy folks who we see in the news and throughout the political spectrum today, but it’s still shocking to see even a fictional version just come out and say it: “There’s those who would like you to believe that the ones who haven’t made it, who haven’t made their way to the top of the food chain and accrued power and money, didn’t because they didn’t have the breaks, didn’t have the opportunity. That’s bullshit. We are here and have been here and have run things and controlled things because we are the best of the best.

Some people are just born better. Some people, they come from inferior stock. You can take your sympathy and your Social Security and your Medicare and your welfare and shove it up your ass. Let those who can, rule. And let those who can’t, manage as best they will.

Wow. and the plot revolves around what happens when the Lansdale is the closest thing the Lone Star State lake dries up during a severe drought and past crimes are revealed. I had a backlog of other titles to read, has to a Stephen King or a James Patterson, but he’s but Joe R. Lansdale’s latest tugged at me personally. probably more original than either. The thing I like My family’s ancestral lands (on my mother’s side) most about his work is that his prose often comes at you supposedly lie under Lake Whitney, and I’ve often like a traditional Norman Rockwell painting, initially wondered about it and have been trying to find out extolling the simple pleasures and general decency of folks in Texas, Southern comforts, soul more about how the whole thing came to food, and people who say what they mean pass, so Moon Lake was catapulted over and love each other without hesitation several books I’d been waiting to get to Moon Lake or therapy. Texans recognize themselves longer, and I devoured it in two sittings.

By Joe R. Lansdale Mulholland Books and, pardon the Moon Lake pun, Lansdale The story opens with 13-year-old $20-30 reels us in, but beneath the Rockwell is an Danny Russell’s single-parent father Orwell. And between the twain is, well, attempting to kill them both by driving off a Twain. Lansdale is even Chaucerian in a bridge that spans Moon Lake. Danny is his way, but the Orwell typically holds rescued by a young black “mermaid” and her father, who were fishing at the time. Danny stays court between the lines. In the excerpt above, however, with his rescuers until the authorities figure out what Orwell drops traditional Rockwell with a wicked Shen to do with him and then goes to live with an aunt. After Chuan strike to his throat and then stands over him as an extended drought 10 years later, Danny comes back he tries to remember how to breathe. It chillingly and vividly unpacks one version of the “boot” that Orwell to New Long Lincoln to identify his father’s remains.

The young black “mermaid,” Ronnie, is now a described as “stamping on a human face — forever” in police officer, and the two discover some murders and his classic 1984. And this is language that decent folks a series of strange grave robberies. They quickly find in places like Texas could really stand to process.

With Moon Lake, Joe R. Landsdale examines inequality through a page-turning mystery.

Moon Lake has Gothic intrigue, down-home humor, clever dialogue, romance, and characters most of us can relate to, but it’s also an incisive reflection of the times. Lansdale is a dog guy, but he’s clearly got some cat in him. His seemingly endless supply of captivating characters almost invariably find themselves pulling at the strings of the fabric of our culture, often unravelling the strands that gird some of our illusions and inequities.

That’s why I scarfed Moon Lake right up and was ready for a second helping. Lansdale is entertaining as hell, but his work also matters. l Fort Worth writer E.R. Bills is the author of Pendulum Grim (2019) and Texas Oblivion: Mysterious Disappearances, Escapes and Cover-Ups (2021).

When Catholic cardinals elect a new pope, white smoke billows out of a chimney atop the Vatican. Appropriately, you instantly notice the smoker in the parking lot of Roy Pope Grocery, perfuming the space outside with a fragrant blend of burning wood and myriad animal parts. The enormous tanklike contraption is one of many readily apparent changes to the beloved nearly 80-year-old grocery store. They come courtesy of its new owners, led by smoked meat impresario Lou Lambert and owneroperator/longtime Lambert protege Chris Reale.

Roy Pope was among the most painful casualties of the early pandemic days.

To Westsiders, “The Pope” staked out a

unique position in the area, existing in the overlap between a high-end grocery store, boutique retailer, reasonably priced delicatessen, and grab-and-go bodega.

Where else could you buy a $200 bottle of Caymus Cabernet and a $4 loaf of Mrs. Baird’s white bread in one trip?

The venerable grocery store didn’t stay closed long. In April 2020, less than a month after it shuttered, the new owners took over the space and set out to revitalize the 7,200-square-foot building.

The Lambert-Reale culinary combo, which dates back to Lambert’s Steak, Seafood & Whiskey, has been busy over the past few months. In addition to breathing new life into Roy Pope, the duo has also spearheaded the second coming of soonto-be-remodeled Paris Coffee Shop and, as recently as last year, helmed Campo Smokehouse after Flores Barbecue closed.

Lambert is no stranger to the Fort Worth culinary cognoscenti. The TCU grad helmed the kitchen at Reata for a time before forging his solo reputation as a chef/pitmaster extraordinaire at his first namesake eatery in Austin. Before Franklin’s became a cultural phenomenon, Austinites were lining up for Lambert’s brisket.

The updated Roy Pope is decidedly sleeker, boasting an openness and feng shui that the old version lacked. Adding to the modernized feel of the modest-sized room is a wine/coffee bar, newer shelves, an attractive fenced-in patio, and updated

equipment. Everything looks new, bright, and clean — that’s not to say the old version was filthy, just well-worn. The new version looks to be in the Eatzi’s mold — with a wine selection that rivals Central Market’s in size.

If you’re wondering why restaurants are closing because they lack staff, it’s because Roy Pope hired everyone in the service industry. A small army of staffers buzzed hurriedly behind the impressively stocked deli counter and open kitchen on a recent weekday. Though pleasant and professional, most of the people preparing and serving food that day were unmasked.

The menu is separated into hot items — which are mostly made in advance and displayed behind a sneeze guard — and an impressive-looking list of sandwiches.

On the afternoon I visited, a line of about a dozen people filed snuggly next to a neat shelf stocked with, among other items, a box of honey-roasted pecans and various cookies. Though my guest and I were tempted by the many treats, we stood pat, focused on the menu that hangs over the counter.

Usually, eating a meal inside a deli/ grocer is a little like reading a novel at a bookstore — you can, but it’s not always ideal. Roy Pope’s modest indoor dining room of about 10 tables was plenty spacious and comfortable. The room was about halffull on the day we arrived, and we never felt intruded upon by other diners.

salmon chowder, brimmed with piquant peppery notes punctuated by specks of thyme. Thick slabs of salmon bobbed alongside roasted corn and bits of potato.

The soup was served in a paper cup, with only the standard-issue plastic utensils — all of which is customary at grocery delis.

The power green salad, snatched from the grab-and-go refrigerator just opposite the counter, packed a garden’s worth of ingredients into a clear plastic container. A tasteful mélange of arugula, avocado, baby kale, baby spinach, carrots, celery, chickpeas, feta cheese, and radishes offered a kaleidoscopic feast for the eyes.

The savory tones of the salad were offset by the subtle sweetness of the accompanying honey vinaigrette — so good, you’ll want to drink it out of a glass.

The star of our visit was unquestionably the prime rib sammy, stuffed with thin slices of velvety beef covered in a gooey layer of provolone. Juices soaked through the fresh-tasting rye bread in a downright Caligulan display of messy decadence. The blend of onion jam and horseradish sauce added a game-changing layer of sweet-spicy flavor that balanced the creamy/tender notes of the meat and cheese. This was the sort of crave-worthy bite you think about for days after.

Though overshadowed by the prime rib, the chicken salad was a solid if unspectacular offering — a nod to the ladies-who-lunch crowd that will no doubt keep The Pope’s Chardonnay-bythe-glass supply critically low. My guest found the dish to be on the dry side, while I preferred the kitchen’s restraint. Flavors of thyme popped throughout the mix, and heirloom tomatoes and romaine lettuce added a welcome juicy/crunchy texture.

The new iteration of Roy Pope compares favorably with Eatzi’s and Central Market, and it offers a homier vibe that its two competitors can’t match. While the local grocer may not be a destination kitchen for people living outside of the neighborhood, its elevated menu of classic deli fare and hot entrees should more than impress its target audience of Westsiders.

This may not be your grandfather’s Roy Pope, but that’s a good thing. This version is a huge improvement. l

Just so you know. If our country was normal, there wouldn’t be any discussion about masks and mandates and vaccines and jib-jabbing in the arm. We would all dutifully wear our masks, dutifully receive our vaccines, and dutifully refrain from making out on crowded dance floors. Alas, we are a country of entitled, privileged me-first assholes who somehow believe that wearing a tiny piece of fabric on our faces or getting vaccinated like we always do is an infringement on our rights.

Though his musical catalogue to this point has been somewhat limited, 88 Killa has been a name spinning in local hip-hop circles for quite a few years now. Formerly known as Killa MC, the rhyme mason gained a ton of experience in the late aughts in the self-described “punkrap” Dallas group Brain Gang. In 2016, he released the well-received EP 88 BPM on London’s DEFDISCO label, which has helped earn him perennial nominations for best rapper in local music rags (including this one). Now, he’s finally set to drop BPM’s follow-up. 88 Special has just hit streaming services as his first proper full-length.

“I wanted to showcase my affection for this city by taking listeners into my mind through lyricism backed by funk-influenced production,” he said.

Through the nine bass-thumping tracks, 88 dives as deep as Jacques Cousteau into the standard bling and shine of the hip-hop lifestyle. He mixes in a dis track, “Never Switch’d Up,” with a sassy love letter to his

hometown, “Stockyard Swangin’,” which he wrote “to troll people that try to act like being a rapper from a city with the Stockyards is something to be ashamed of.”

But it’s lines from tracks like “Saint Killa de Alta Mesa” and “Gold on My … ” that are veritable lab-grown brag-rap masterclasses. 88’s ode to his preferred swaggy outerwear, “Mink Coat Melody,” is the highwater mark in swagnificence.

“Tony Stark has his Iron-Man suit,” he said. “88 Killa has his mink coats. This song is what wearing a mink feels like.”

But it’s not all braggadocio. 88 makes many references to the birth of his new daughter and the effect it’s had on him. On “Risk,” he delves into what motivated him and many others to put themselves in harm’s way during the lockdown because they had no choice but to be among

one and the only one worth adopting.

Basically, all these people care about is forcing women to carry babies to term as a way of punishing them, the women and the babies, for daring to threaten the biblically established patriarchy.

A’hem. Perhaps that’s another conversation for another day. For today, we’re talking about music venues. How are the local ones responding to the news that one of the COVID-19 vaccines is FDA approved? Because somehow that “FDA” stamp means so much all the sudden. Never mind the four decades of research behind the vax. Never mind all those non-approved vitamins you’re taking and that makeup you put on your skin. Gotta have that “FDA” stamp to be able trust the jab, right, Bocephus?!

While Texas has banned businesses from requiring vaccine passports from customers, because that would be too safe and because we like living on the edge like the entitled assholes we are, trusty Gov. Greg Abbott can’t stop businesses from requiring their employees to be vaccinated.

others to work to provide for their families.

“That song was written to inspire all of the people that had to get outside and make something happen despite the world being turned upside down,” 88 said. It was “written during the thick of quarantine and with a baby on the way. I had to make a decision to either sit back and starve or take a risk and provide a means for us to not go without.”

To sum up the album and offer advice on the best listening experience, 88 says, “This is for the Gs that ride in cars with leather interiors and keyless entry. Strongly recommend that you listen to this project around 8:30 p.m. after you get your car washed while starting to get ready for a night out. Set your cruise control to about 73mph, slightly crack the sunroof, and place your right hand on your chick’s left thigh.” l

Ryan Higgs is thinking about it.

The owner of MASS (Main at South Side) said he would consider a vaccine mandate for his employees “for their safety and the safety of others.”

Higgs and all seven of his workers are masked up, he said. Masks for customers are recommended but not required. Every little bit helps because Higgs does not want to go through another shutdown.

“I know we are a small venue, but live music has been suffering since midMarch 2020,” he said. “We did have the [Shuttered Venue Operator Grant], but here we are again. Venues used that money to hire staff back, pay utilities, book shows, or buy talent. Shows and tours are getting canceled again either by the venue or the band, all money lost on both ends.

If a band hits the road and one member gets COVID, that is probably two weeks of shows that need to be canceled. I guess my point is: Get the jab.”

Abbott has even gone as far as threatening to pull liquor licenses from establishments that require proof of

vaccination from customers, which is a totally Texan thing to do. We love when government meddles in our ability to earn a dollar.

Somebody should sue his ass.

Opposite Higgs is Brooks Kendall at The Post at River East, not because he’s buying into Fakebook posts from his crazy aunt but because he’s having a hard time hiring good help and he’s “not really looking for ways to disqualify applicants.”

In a different labor market, he said, “I’d give [vaxxed employees] serious consideration.”

BTW, all 20 of The Post’s employees are vaccinated on their own, Kendall said, and some are wearing masks.

Customers do not need to wear masks for entry.

Jason Eady Celebrates New Album at Tulips FTW

Pure, sweet Americana purveyor Jason Eady is returning home to celebrate the release of his latest album. To the Passage of Time comes out Friday, and he’ll be playing Tulips FTW (112 St. Louis Av, 817-367-9798) 7pm Sat as a way of driving home the point. Most of the LP was written “in a wild three-day burst … where Jason didn’t leave his room for the entire time, literally taking his meals in the room,” his publicist says.

Produced by Band of Heathens’ Gordy Quist, To the Passage of Time was recorded at The Finishing School in Austin with “a goldmine of vintage gear” and many of Eady’s favorite backing musos, including Noah Jeffries on mandolin and fiddle, Mark Williams on upright bass and cello, and Geoff Queen on Dobro, pedal steel, and lap steel. As part of a long tour, Eady’s next stops will be in Colorado, the Midwest, and the East Coast through late January. Tickets to the Tulips show are at Prekindle. — Anthony Mariani Contact HearSay at Anthony@FWWeekly.com.

But out of respect for the artist, mask it up at The Post (2925 Race St, 817-9458890) this weekend. That’s when the dark and poetic Van Darien will take the stage — twice — as part of a small tour.

“Diving back into some carefully distanced shows,” the Nashville-viaFort Worth singer-songwriter writes on her homepage, “slowly, but surely, tiptoeing back into normalcy. Sending good vibrations out into the ether and hoping everyone feels the love today and every day.”

Van will be with her full band 8pm11pm Thu and solo 11:30am-1:30pm Fri. All ages welcome, free parking, and, on Thursday, beer-and-shot specials galore.

The next time we’ll see Van again will be 8pm Thu, Sep 30, also at The Post, which doesn’t count her State Fair gig, 2:30pm Sat, Oct 2, because Dallas is sooo faaar. The rest of her tour will take her through Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.

Cover to Van’s Thursday show is $8 while Friday’s matinee is free.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF APPLICATION AND INTENT TO OBTAIN AIR PERMIT AIR QUALITY PERMIT NUMBER 166020 APPLICATION Texas Poly, Inc., has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for: Issuance of Permit 166020 This application would authorize modification and installation of new equipment at the Flexographic Printing and Packaging Facility located at 1375 Westpark Way, Euless, Tarrant County, Texas 76040. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice.

For exact location, refer to application. http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/index.html?lat=32.818333&lng=-97.121944&zoom=13&type=r. The facility will emit the following contaminants: carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants, nitrogen oxides, organic compounds, lead, particulate matter including particulate matter with diameters of 10 microns or less and 2.5 microns or less and sulfur dioxide.

This application was submitted to the TCEQ on July 28, 2021. The application will be available for viewing and copying at the TCEQ central office, the TCEQ Dallas/Fort Worth regional office, and the Mary Lib Saleh Euless Public Library, 201 North Ector Drive, Euless, Tarrant County, Texas beginning the first day of publication of this notice. The facility’s compliance file, if any exists, is available for public review in the Dallas/Fort Worth regional office of the TCEQ. The executive director has determined the application is administratively complete and will conduct a technical review of the application.

PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING You may submit public comments, or request a public meeting or a contested case hearing to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below. The TCEQ will consider all public comments in developing a final decision on the application. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will prepare a response to all public comments.

The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or ask questions about the application. A public meeting about the application will be held if the executive director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application, if requested by an interested person, or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

After technical review of the application is complete, the executive director may prepare a draft permit and will issue a preliminary decision on the application. Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for an Air Quality Permit will then be published and mailed to those who made comments, submitted hearing requests or are on the mailing list for this application. That notice will contain the final deadline for submitting public comments.

OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING You may request a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on those issues submitted during the public comment period and not withdrawn. The deadline to submit a request for a contested case hearing is 30 days after newspaper notice is published. If a request is timely filed, the deadline for requesting a contested case hearing will be extended to 30 days after the mailing of the response to comments.

A person who may be affected by emissions of air contaminants from the facility is entitled to request a hearing. If requesting a contested case hearing, you must submit the following: (1) your name (or for a group or association, an official representative), mailing address, and daytime phone number; (2) applicant’s name and permit number; (3) the statement “[I/we] request a contested case hearing”; (4) a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the application and air emissions from the facility in a way not common to the general public; (5) the location and distance of your property relative to the facility; (6) a description of how you use the property which may be impacted by the facility; and (7) a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period. If the request is made by a group or an association, one or more members who have standing to request a hearing must be identified by name and physical address. The interests the group or association seeks to protect must also be identified. You may also submit your proposed adjustments to the application/permit which would satisfy your concerns.

If a hearing request is timely filed, following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for contested case hearing to the Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting. The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material air quality concerns submitted during the comment period. Issues such as property values, noise, traffic safety, and zoning are outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction to address in this proceeding.

MAILING LIST In addition to submitting public comments, you may ask to be placed on a mailing list to receive future public notices for this specific application by sending a written request to the Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.
