Brewer student designs Habitat for Humanity home
Sustainable living is being made a reality by local students who
worked to make an impact on society through “green” design, and
a student from Brewer High School is part of the team making this
happen.
Six high school students from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
decided to take a step toward their future and away from the
relaxation of summer to attend
Next
Generation
Design
Institute, a 10-day internship
program held at Huckabee, a
Fort Worth architecture firm.
The NGDI program, now
in its seventh year, is designed
to give high school students
with an interest in architecture
or engineering an opportunity
to see how a professional
firm
functions
including
client meetings, developing
designs, working in teams and
presentation delivery. This year’s
program partnered with Habitat
for Humanity and challenged
the students to create a single- As part of the winning team,

$2,000 scholarship.
The students selected for the
2009 NGDI program were Taylor Lynn from White Settlement
ISD, Josh Giles from All Saints’ Episcopal School in Fort Worth,
Aaron Whiting and Angela Garcia from Crowley ISD and Jackson
Eudy and Austin Jones from Mansfield ISD.
Students were placed into teams of two and provided workstations
at Huckabee for the 10-day program. The challenge was to create
a 1,600 square foot sustainable single-family home that included
at least five “green” strategies. Working along side Huckabee staff
in the production department, the students learned how to create
an effective faux design for Habitat for Humanity. They visited a
construction site, met with a landscape architect, learned the business
of architecture and met with Huckabee executives.
The students also traveled to Texas Tech University for a twoday visit to the College of Architecture where the students were able
to discover life as an architect student, develop final presentation
vignettes and build models of their sustainable family home.
Final design presentations were made in front of a panel of
judges, friends, family and the Huckabee staff Wednesday, June 25.
Participation and achievement scholarships were awarded to each
student totaling $10,800. Taylor Lynn will be a senior at Brewer
High School in the Fall. As part of the winning team, he was
awarded a $2,000 scholarship.

Taking a look at movies just UNDER THE RADAR
ENTERTAINMENT COMMENTARY
By A.C. Hall
Every year we hear a whole lot about a handful of films
and yet it seems that some of the best movies are ones that get
little promotion. There are some amazing looking movies
landing in theaters in the upcoming year and we’re going to
take a look at them so they don’t pass us by.
The first of these films will be releasing
on Aug. 7 and is called Cold Souls. This
unique comedy/drama stars Paul Giamatti
who, in a bizarre and unique twist, plays
himself in the film. Giamatti is feeling
overburdened and sluggish and learns of
a company that removes and stores your
soul for you. Soon Giamatti starts to hate
the numbness he feels without his soul
and wants it reinstalled but learns that it’s
been stolen from the storage facility. He
then embarks on a quest to track it down
and get it back.
This movie won’t be showing up
everywhere as it’s one of those extremely
bizarre stories that won’t appeal to
everyone, but I really am excited to check
it out. It’s a really unique premise and
Giamatti is such an amazing actor and I
really think this will be a truly interesting
movie.
Also releasing on Aug. 7 is Paper Heart.
This is a fake documentary starring a
really unique and charming young actress
Charlene Yi. She’s a cute and awkward
young actress and in the film goes on a
quest to understand love, saying she’s
immune to feeling it. Eventually the
documentary comes across another young
awkward actor Michael Cera and the two
of them begin a strange new relationship.
This looks to be one of the most
adorable films to release in some time. Yi
and Cera couldn’t be a more perfect match
as the two of them just may be the most
awkward humans ever and yet together
they couldn’t be more wonderful. I can

About 25 West side residents
attended the Crime Watch Meeting
at Normandale Baptist Church this
past Thursday evening. Judge Jean
Boyd of the 323 District Court
was the guest speaker bringing
information to the audience about
the juvenile court system.
Judge Boyd stated that she and
five other judges handle the juvenile
court cases for the district.
The Juvenile Courts in Texas
hear the cases of children between
10 and 16 years old. When they
turn 17 they are tried in an adult
court. Judge Boyd provided a chart
showing that in 2008 six thousand
one hundred and forty-five cases
(6,165) were referred to Tarrant
County Juvenile Services. One
thousand six hundred sixty-seven
(1,667) of those cases were for
felony crimes and six hundred and
five (605) were for violent crimes.
These were all crimes committed
by children under the age of 17,
with some of the children being
under ten years old.
Judge Boyd told the crowd that
about 6% of the juvenile offenders
are not rehabilitated. The good
news, she stated, is that 94% learn
their lesson through the many
avenues of rehabilitation, education
and encouragement provided to
them and their parents by Tarrant
County.
The state legislature has
somewhat tied the hands of the
local judges by passing laws that
prohibit the juveniles from being
incarcerated for misdemeanors.
She said that basically a child can
commit misdemeanor crimes over
and over and all the judge can do is
say, “If you do that again, I’ll have
to warn you again.”
The fact that there is no real
consequence deters very few of the
repeat juvenile offenders. Some
lawmakers feel that after several
offenses have been committed,
a more severe action should be
taken.
say with a high level of certainty that you
will fall in love with this trailer as soon as
you watch it.
On Aug. 14 you’ve got a movie that I
am unbelievably excited about releasing.
It’s called District 9 and is a science fiction
movie about a giant alien ship that is stuck
hovering on Earth. The aliens are forced
to stay in a certain district and the movie
is about why they are here and how they
are being treated by the humans.
This one has one of my favorite trailers
I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a really
mysterious preview and one that is full of
creativity and style, and I absolutely can’t
wait to see this one in theaters. This is
one that I think will be a big cult hit.
Also releasing on that day is the thriller
A Perfect Getaway. Starring Steve Zahn
and Mila Jovovich, this film is about
a couple who heads to a remote island
getaway for a hiking adventure vacation.
They soon team up with a few other
couples hiking through the area but then
discover that there is a man and woman
team murdering other hikers in the area.
Zahn and Jovovich find themselves on
the run as they try to figure out which
of the couples are targets and which are

Commentary:
Isn’t it heart breaking to know
that we have so many children in
our county who have such difficult
lives? Doesn’t it make you wonder
about the cause and what can be
done about it?
With all the programs offered
to these children and their parents
you would think that their lives
could be changed, and remember
94% are, but what about the 6%
who will end up committing a very
serious crime and then will spend
their life in prison?
What about the victims of these
serious crimes who might possibly
have lost someone they love? This
is a caring community and many
are involved in many ways, but
there are some who when their
child is involved in criminal activity
do not take it seriously. Some
parents even believe that when
a child commits a misdemeanor
they are just “being kids.” Is there
too much apathy? If you haven’t
been a victim, are you not worried
about it? Hope we see more of you
at the next Crime Watch meeting
and that more of you will get
involved in helping to keep your
neighborhood safe.

Movies under the radar continued from front cover
the killers.
This one just looks like a rock
solid thriller. Zahn has really
come into his own as an actor
in recent years, and one of my
favorite actors Timothy Olyphant
co-stars in this one. I’m excited
for this one to release and think it
could be a real surprise hit of the
summer.
The next release flying under the
radar will be hitting on Sept. 9 and
is called 9. This one will be easy to
remember as it comes out on 9-909. It’s a computer animated film
set after humanity’s destruction
and follows the exploits of nine
strange little creatures that were
created by a scientist right before
humanity was wiped out. These
nine creatures must fight back
against the robots who have taken
over the planet.
Even though its computer
generated, this is a PG-13 film
that is being done by Tim Burton
and Timur Bekmambetov
(director of Wanted) and looks
incredible. The visual style is
really unbelievably good and the
movie looks smart and haunting.
This is one that should be a real
treat.
Sept. 11 brings us another
great unheralded film and this
one is called Whiteout. Based off
the comic book of the same name
this movie stars Kate Beckinsale
who travels to Antarctica to try
and get to the bottom of the first
ever murder committed there.
The story will focus heavily on
the location and the horribly
fierce conditions that exist there.
While there’s not a ton of story
to go on from this trailer, it looks
like it’s got a lot going for it. The
location is very reminiscent of 30
Days of Night, which was another
comic book based movie, and
this one also looks like it could
be a really strong action film.
On Sept. 18 the space horror
film Pandorum releases and I’m
fully prepared to be completely
freaked out by it. Starring
Dennis Quaid, this movie takes
place in deep space. Quaid and
another crew member on this
big ship wake up from cryogenic
sleep with no memory of who
they are, why they’re on the ship,
or what happened to the rest of
the crew.
This film looks about as creepy
as possible as the humans on
the ship struggle against the
monstrous evil that has beset
them in deep space. Something
The
BHS REUNION INFO
about sci-fi mixed with horror
freaks me out in a big way and
Pandorum looks to continue that
trend.
Oct. 9 will bring us the
great looking action comedy
Zombieland. Starring Woody
Harrelson, this film is set after a
zombie outbreak that takes over
most of the world. Harrelson
is a masterful zombie killer who
teams up with a haphazard group
of teenagers as they all try to
survive as zombies overrun the
planet.
This one looks like a really
hilarious action movie and
Harrelson is once again cast in
a great role. He’s never been
my favorite actor but has found
himself in some perfect roles and
this one fits him really well. The
trailer is full of funny jokes and
great action and this one should
be a great October release.
The final film I want to
highlight is one that I’ve been
anxiously awaiting. Releasing
on Oct. 16 is The Road. This
film stars Viggo Mortensen as a
beleaguered father who is trying
to lead his wife and young son
to safety in a post apocalyptic
America. The going is extremely
tough and those who are still
alive are all roughly scraping to
survive and will stop at nothing
to get by.
This film is based off a hugely
successful novel and looks to be
a true one of a kind epic. Based
off the trailer, I can’t tell you
how excited I am to see this
one. It looks unbelievably good
and as a huge Mortensen fan
I’m so excited to see him take
on another epic role such as this
one. This is certainly one to
add to the calendar and has the
chance to be one of the big films
of the year.
So there you have it. These
are some of the stronger looking
films releasing the last half of this
year that have been getting little
to no promotion. If you want to
get a closer look at each of these
films, then head over to www.
grizzlydetail.com/movies.html to
check out all of the trailers so you
can see which ones you’ll want to
add to your “must see” list.

DVD REVIEW:
A.C. at the movies!
By A.C. Hall
Away We Go: A summer
movie jewel
I can’t even begin this review
without disclosing that I’m a
major fan of the television show
“The Office.” John Krasinski is
my favorite actor on the show,
and I’ve been a huge fan of
his for a while now. However,
having seen both of the movies
he’s done since hitting it big,
I had accepted the fact that
he’s not a great actor. In both
Leatherheads and License to Wed
he was stiff and forgettable.
However, in Away We Go,
Krasinski brings to life an off
the wall unique character in a
charming story that is among
my favorites of the year.
The movie centers on Burt and Verona who are expecting their first
child. With nothing tying them down to where they currently live,
they set out across the country in search of a perfect place to settle down
and raise their family. While the two of them are extremely unique
individuals, the friends and family they visit with across the country are
at times outrageous and ridiculous and make Burt and Verona’s attempt
to find a home even more difficult.
Every once in a while a truly unique and wonderful movie like this
comes along and I’m so glad that I went out of my way to see this one.
It’s a truly lovely little film and one that is so needed during the summer
season of giant blockbusters filled with explosions and action. Away We
Go is about as anti-summer blockbuster as it gets.
The strength of this film is in the acting of all involved. Krasinski
does an award-winning job bringing the character of Burt to life, and
it really shows just how strong an actor he can be. Burt is offbeat,
awkward, ultra nerdy and hyper intelligent and Krasinski embraces
the role and seems like a completely different person in the film. His
pregnant girlfriend is played by Maya Rudolph, and the Saturday Night
Live actress shows she’s got the skills to do more than just late night
comedy. Add in a group of truly hilarious and talented co-stars and
you’ve got a film with some great and memorable performances.
THE VERDICT: This is a rare, quiet, charming and beautiful movie
that is one of my favorites I’ve seen in a while. It’s such an unassuming
story about love and family and is smartly written and acted throughout.
There are a few content related notes I need to share about the film.
The opening scene of the film is rather sexually explicit and really the
one thing I questioned in this great movie. It’s completely out of place
with the rest of the story and is completely out of synch with the rest
of this charming movie. While there’s no nudity, the short scene is a
bit graphic and is just such a misstep on the filmmakers’ part to have
included it at all. There’s also a heavy amount of language in the movie
so if you’re sensitive to that you may need to take that into consideration
before seeing it.
Only a few movies like this show up each year, and even though you
sometimes have to drive a little to find a theater showing it, the whole
thing is a very worthwhile endeavor. I very highly recommend that you
“SEE IT NOW” when it comes to Away We Go.
Away We Go is rated R for language and some sexual content.
The
The International
This film has been the subject of many jokes
among my friends since it released in theaters
many months ago. It’s an action/thriller in
which the main villain is a bank. This movie
slipped through the cracks for me and it took
me a bit to warm up to it once it released on
DVD but eventually I got around to checking
it out. While I had zero expectations for the
movie, I was pleasantly surprised to find out
that it was a fun thriller that was silly enough
to be laughable but serious enough to keep you
interested.
Clive Owen stars in the film as an international
agent trying to find a way to prove that a large
bank has been funding all sorts of terrorism
and war crimes across the planet. Each time
he finds a source inside the bank, they end up
missing and as pressure mounts on him to end
the investigation, he turns to more and more
desperate measures to get to the truth.
As silly as the story sounds it’s actually
pretty interesting and the film does a good
job of dropping you right into the conspiracy
of the bank and its evil ways. Owen is a real
pro in the role that some actors would only
do a halfhearted job with a movie like this but
he steps up and gives it his all. It’s no award
winning performance but it is a good one that
lends credibility to a movie that desperately
needs it.
THE VERDICT: Every once in a while
a perfect rental film comes along and that’s
exactly what The International is. Just the right
amount of drama and action mixed with some
great scenery and visuals make this an ideal fit
for an evening in with your loved ones.
The International is rated R for some
sequences of violence and language.
Public Enemies: Another summer letdown
Pretty soon this summer is going to become known
as one full of the most disappointing films, and Public
Enemies was another giant step down that road. This
is a film with a vivid and compelling true story to
base it on being presented by an incredibly talented
director with two of the best actors in Hollywood
to carry out the main roles. So you can imagine my
surprise when the movie was a long, boring string of
uninspiring performances and immediately forgettable
action sequences.
Set in the 1930’s this movie tells the story of
infamous bank robber John Dillinger (Depp) and the
men who worked hard to apprehend him. The film
opens up in the midst of his bank robbing reign of
terror as the FBI struggles to track him down. As the
hunt for Dillinger and his crew intensifies, the stakes
get higher and higher for both the criminals and the
lawmen.
It’s hard for me to really express how disappointed I
was with this movie. The people involved in making
it are some of the finest folks working in this industry
and yet nothing about this film gelled. Depp and Bale
both give emotionless, uninspired performances and
it’s sad to see some of the best in the business put forth
such a halfhearted effort.
The movie itself looks terrifically charming and
exciting from the trailers, but once you’re sitting
through two and a half hours of it that couldn’t
be further from the truth. The film is completely
without charm and therefore as it drags on endlessly
you care very little about either the supposed to be
charming Depp and the supposed to be intense Bale.
Long, long periods of overly dramatic scenes that drag
on endlessly lead into uninteresting action sequences.
Rinse and repeat for two hours and twenty minutes.
THE VERDICT: For me Public Enemies gets
harsher judgment than your average bad movie
because it should’ve been great. When a film has
regular actors and a regular director it may get more
of a pass, but when you have all the great components
that this one had and still fail, I think it’s fair to be a
bit more disappointed.
Ultimately that’s the word I keep coming back to.
Public Enemies was a disappointment. What easily
could’ve been one of the best movies of the summer
is instead a completely pedestrian crime drama with
no standout performances and a forgettable story. If
you’re really set on seeing this movie then I would say
wait and “RENT IT” but for most of you out there
I’d suggest that you “DON’T BOTHER” with this
forgettable, disappointing crime drama.
Public Enemies is Rated R for gangster violence and
some language.

at the Theater
Again there are just two new releases
landing in theaters this weekend and
it’s not the strongest of lineups.
First up is Bruno, the new comedy
from Borat mastermind Sascha
Baron Cohen. This R-rated film is
getting some rough reviews of its racy
content and if you’re planning on
checking it out you may want to read
up on what it contains first.
Also releasing is the comedy I Love
You Beth Cooper. This teen comedy

a popular girl in school after years of

Another Tale
from an Old Timer
Here’s a REAL fan!
By Norris Chambers
Commentary
by Dr. Don Newbury
figuring the par putt a scant
yardstick from the pin was a tapin. But, he missed!
He handled the misfortune like
a pro. Ryan, a golfing hacker at
best, didn’t. He swung his left arm
violently, his hand crashing into a
steel key box….

F
ans of the Dallas Mavericks
basketball team sport Tshirts with “MFFL” lettering.
Attempts to pronounce it wad the
tongue; remember, “MFFL” is a long
putt from an acronym. (Owner Mark
Cuban came up with the designation:
Mavericks Fans For Life.)
In Burleson, Texas, a rabid sports fan
says his shirt letters mean: “Mickelson
Fan For Life.”
The fan is Greg Ryan, a Chick-fil-A
franchisee. Actually, he and his golfing
hero have much in common. They’re
both 39 this year, both left-handed and
both have wicked swings. Ryan’s talkedabout swing--the buzz of Burleson--was
NOT on the links. Friends there say
his swings are like barroom doors; if his
golf game were a prize fight, they’d stop
it….
Other comparisons drop off
considerably.
In 2007, for example, Mickelson
earned about 50 million dollars in
tournaments and endorsements, not far
behind Tiger Woods, who set the pace
for income among the world’s athletes.
Ryan that year sold tons of chicken, but
earned zilch for endorsements.
For years on the PGA Tour,
Mickelson was labeled “the best golfer
never to win a major tournament.” On
one of several “near misses,” he called
himself “an idiot.” This is one of the
kinder things said of Ryan after his
vicious swing referenced above.
OK, so back-tracking is a “must.”
Rain delayed the US Open final round
until Monday. Mickelson, runner-up
in four earlier opens, was in the chase.
With four holes to play, though, his
chances faded quickly. He had a chance
to tie or win until he bogeyed 17 and
the winner birdied 16.
Ryan, at work prepping for the noon
rush of chicken-eaters, claims that he
“kept his shoulder to the wheel during
the onslaught of patrons. Still, he cast
frequent glances to the TV screen
on his I-phone. His hero was “in the
hunt!”
Customers placing orders from Ryan
while Mickelson was on TV did so at
their peril….
I feel particularly sorry for the diner
at his station when Mickelson’s t-shot
faded into the rough on 14. Then he
smashed a 201-yard approach shot to
the back of the green. A 20-foot putt
meant a birdie; three putts bore the
blight of a bogey.
Alas, Mickelson missed his birdie
attempt. He took a deep breath,
The
The blow smarted. Trouper
that he is, Ryan stayed the course
through the mealtime rush. Near shift’s
end, his hand continued to throb, so he
went to an emergency clinic.
Sure enough, X-rays revealed a fracture.
Slowly, he drove home, awkwardly
steering with his right hand. He had
time to concoct a story, but to his
credit, he decided to tell wife Lori, and
daughters Kylie, 12, and Riley, 4, the
unvarnished truth. He explained that
he faced surgery four days later, and
that two pins would be inserted for a
time. Later, there’d be a hard cast. With
any luck, as the surgeon put it, he’ll
be “good as new” for the fall football
kick-off.
Lori “heard him out,” then spoke.
“You handle the surgery thing, and I’ll
schedule the therapy,” she dictated,
“and I’m NOT talking about the
physical kind.”…
Greg is actually enjoying his misery.
Pain pills are but memories. He is
luxuriating in the pampering provided
by the women in his life. They fluff his
pillows, bring him sustenance and give
him sales reports from the store. The
youngsters have made two signs, one
for the store, and one to slap on their
dad’s forehead. They read: “Chill Out
on Using Phones at Work.”
Dedicated to fostering absolute quiet
for Greg’s convalescence, they are quick
to “shush” the dogs if they bark during
his naptime. “Those mutts are driving
me crazy,” he moaned.
“That’s not a drive, it’s a putt,” Lori
purred….
He has notified Chick-fil-A honchos
in Georgia that for the next few days,
he can be reached on the home phone.
Greg is determined to return to work
ASAP, with genuine efforts to--as old
farmers used to say--“make a hand,”
albeit a tough assignment to serve up
chicken with a right hand rarely used
for such. Nowadays, with lots of time
to think, he’s vowed never again to take
a game so seriously, unless, of course,
he is a participant.
Maybe he can go to school on the
Mickelson family’s new perspectives
gleaned from the recent diagnosis of his
wife’s cancer. Maybe you noticed pink
accents on his attire at the Open. He
was acknowledging the fight against
cancer. Amy Mickelson’s surgery was
performed on July 1. Her husband, (on
leave from the PGA Tour indefinitely),
as well as other family members and
close friends, stood vigil at the hospital
. On the same day, Lori made Greg a

rods or wires. A quart can
was easy to locate since
many vegetables were
canned in this size and
just about everyone in the
country had a can sealer
and a pressure cooker. The
idea was to seal the can and
connect an indicator to
measure the rise and fall of
the lid as the atmospheric
pressure changed.
We sealed a can and
punched a small hole in the
center of the lid. The next
step was to place it in an
oven and get it hot enough
to drive most of the air out
of the can.
While it was still hot and
in the oven we soldered a
short length of copper wire
to the small hole in the
center of the lid sealing the
can and providing a shaft
to move an indicator up
and down. The wire was
connected to the short end
of a long lever mounted on
the side of the can. A small
movement of the lid caused
the end of the lever to move
up and down. The machine
worked well, indicating the
atmospheric pressure, but
like the other machine did
very little to predict the
weather.
After the apparent failure
of these two attempts
to become weather
prognosticators we decided
to just take the weather as it
comes and concentrate on
something else.
But we did have fun
trying. Do you think the
modern weathermen have
fun?

more than enough going on and the paper is stronger than ever.

course ABC cancelled it. You’d think I would’ve learned not to
get too attached to television shows and yet the cancellation of
this one really didn’t sit too well with me.
Another new show that I’ve been enjoying is Kings. This NBC
drama was another totally unique and smart drama about the
struggle a king had as he tried to keep the peace in his country.
The show had some unbelievable acting and was probably the
most unique show to land on network television in years and so
of course it too has already been cancelled.
There’s been a bit of music that I’ve really been into recently.
The new album by rock band “The Silversun Pickups” is really
great and one that I’ve been recommending to anyone and
everyone. My all time favorite band “Dream Theater” also has
a new release and it’s just as amazing as all their other music has
been, so that’s been nice.
Movie wise I’ve found myself to be a bit let down by the
summer so far. There have been a lot of movies that are just
nowhere near as good as they should be. Other than Star Trek
there really haven’t been any films that were jaw droppingly good,

Award-winning African American
journalist Bob Ray Sanders is to lead a
discussion on Team of Rivals, a book
by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Doris
Kearns Goodwin. In the midst of
hundreds of Lincoln biographies, this
book emerges as a fresh look on how
Lincoln was able to effectively guide
America during the turbulent and
traumatic Civil War era.
The book, which promises to be good
summer reading, is available through the
Fort Worth Public Library. Goodwin
engagingly presents the reader with a
thoughtful examination of Lincoln’s
leadership style. Lincoln masterfully
led the country with his unwavering
commitment to purpose, his incredible
sense of timing, and his careful attention
to the diverse flow of the American
public’s opinion.
This event is part of the Lincoln 200
Festival celebrating Lincoln’s 200th
birthday. “Abraham Lincoln: A Man
of His Time, a Man for All Times,” is a
national traveling exhibition organized
by the Gilder Lehrman Institute that
examines his life, accomplishments and
legacy. The free exhibit will be on display
at the Fort Worth Central Library on
Sept. 12, through Oct. 4, 2009.
With a career spanning 3 decades,
Sanders has emerged as one of America’s
leading African American journalists. He
currently is vice president and associate
editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
where he also writes a regular column. He
has received many of journalism’s most
prestigious awards including a National
Headliner Award for “Outstanding
Investigative Reporting.”
