Many local airports have a “han-gar cat” that, along with serving as an airport mascot, helps keep aircraft-damaging mice at bay. Sul-livan Field, a small, private airfield near St. Louis, is one of them.

The cat is Piper, so named by Kathy Merkan, wife of Mike Mer-kan, after the kitten appeared about 12 years ago outside the former 30,000-square-foot hangar - a for-mer cattle barn that shelters about 30 recreational aircraft.

Pilots grew accustomed to Piper, who would greet them after landing on the 1,500-foot grass strip, or ar-riving by car at the airport. And she more than earned her stay by keep-ing the rodent population in check.

One day last March, Piper went missing. Everyone searched the building and surrounding area but found no sign of her.

“We feared the worst,” Mike said. “After a week, we gave her up for lost.”

A couple of weeks later, Mike received a call from a Carlos Pasto-rino in Panama.

“Mike, they have your cat in Panama City, and she is okay,” the

caller said. Suddenly, the light bulb went off: Piper had stowed away in a shipping container that an airport resident used to send an airplane to a buyer in Panama named Capt. Miguel Ramos.

“Piper must have snuck past all of us and gotten into the container,” Mike explained. The container went by rail to New York City, and then was shipped to Panama, where it traveled through the Panama Ca-nal to Panama City. Piper emerged when the container was opened.

“Incredibly, 28 days later Piper made it without any food or water.”

The people who discovered her reported a thin-but-okay kitty, and immediately took her to an animal hospital where she was nursed back to full health.

Arrangements were soon made to ship Piper back to NYC, and

Mike flew in for the pick-up. “She recognized my voice and was calm-ing down from a stressful situation; she even purred,” Mike said.

He thanked Capt. Ramos and the animal hospital for their efforts in taking good care of their Piper “gatita” (Spanish for female kitten).

“I think she can even meow in Spanish now.”

A passenger at DTW had a plastic dagger hidden in the hemline of her shirt. This is an example of the body scanner showing its strength by finding non-metallic weapons.

n Knife Mounted on Walker: Yes, the kind of walker that assists one with walking... Usually, the only attach-ments you see on walkers are tennis balls, but this one had a knife mounted on the front ( JFK). Just another example of why officers take a closer look at even the most common of items. n Tomahawk – Denver officers discovered a tomahawk in a carry-on bag. Not a Tomahawk missile, but a blad-ed projectile.n Replica Grenades and Mines –It’s been another busy week for grenades and mines. Inert grenades were dis-covered by officers at Tampa and Savannah. Training Claymore mines complete with shrapnel were discov-ered at Newark. n Biohazard – Officers in Austin discovered a label on a package that read “Class 6 Biohazard.” After Police and Austin Fire responded, they learned the item was a water and borax solution.n Spearguns are Prohibited – The latest was discovered at Raleigh-Durham.

n Throwing Stars –Officers at Salt Lake City and La-Guardia found a total of three throwing stars. n Miscellaneous Prohibited Items - In addition to all of the other prohibited, officers also found firearm components, realistic replica firearms, stun guns, brass knuckles, pepper spray, and an assortment of knives, ammunition, and batons.

Convenient Financing/Most Insurance Accepted

By Phil CerroniWhen coming face to face with true evil, one has

two options: run or pose for a photo. Thousands of hor-ror and grindhouse fans packed into DFW Hyatt Re-gency to do just that at the recent Frightmare Weekend where, besides meeting such stars as Ernest Borgnine, Michael Madsen, and Norman Reedus, they were able to screen some of the genres’ newest films and, almost as important, merchandizing!

One of the producers, Jamie Bickert, spelled out what these movies meant to a lot of people.

“It’s a drive-in film you watch with your friends and your best girl and drink a beer and cook out – a party movie,” he said.

My next stop was the bookseller. Like the indepen-dent films being shown that weekend, the books were independent publishers. Eric Beebe, one of the pub-lishers said that independent publishing “bridges the gap between self-publishing and the big six publishers,” and that this was definitely a “grassroots” movement.

Chris Mungen, one of the numerous, nice people who put me partly on my way said, “I’m attracted to the darkness stuff.”

Another patron, Chander McCall voiced a similar opinion: “You don’t see it every day. It’s an escape.”

As the afternoon wore on, more and more eccentric persons began trickling into the convention: mohawks, tattoos, piercings. After sizing up the newest type of arrival, I took a deep breath and immediately walked up to the most outlandish looking one of all. His stage name is Burger Monster, and he is a horror master of ceremonies from San Antonio. After we spoke, I re-alized that even the tattooed freaks were amiable and easygoing.

It was not until I met Steve Sutterfield and Ritchy Sutton, two nice middle-aged men, that I made serious progress on my search. I was beginning to lose hope of finding someone for whom this event meant every-thing. Most of the people I talked to were here to see the celebrities.

Ritchy said that one of the greatest draws to horror for him was, “If you face your fears you conquer them.” He also brought up the notion of escapism, which would be brought up again many times throughout the weekend. One thing that both he and Sutterfield agreed on is that the genre is at the bottom of a wave, but something is about to break. They left me with a

closing thought to think over during the entire week-end: “They stand for premature death, and premature death can’t be destroyed.”

The whole even was surprisingly quiet. It was more like an offbeat Rotary Club or insurance sales conven-tion, and I really hoped the average was not families, middle age gays, and nineteen year olds. Are there no freaks left?

As I was prowling around the vendors, I stumbled across my man – black denim jacket, brimmed hat and earring. He was a seller of carnivorous plants straight out of Eight Legged Freaks. But I was wrong, he loved the plants and his only connection with the convention was that the offbeat nature of his wares is attractive.

“People are already inclined to look at carnivores,” he said.

By the end of the first evening, I was staring to be-come frantic. No none really seemed to have a visceral need to see these things. One question kept ringing in my head: what do these movies give that Hollywood does not?

I collected my thoughts that night in preparation for the next day. It disheartened me to think that people could spend $50 on a pass and another $100 on mer-chandise and special events. Grindhouse and horror used to be the lowest type of catharsis.

Boeing’s new 787 Dream-liner was recently honored with the Grand Prize during the 2012 Hermes Awards for Innovation. Yves Galland, president of Boeing France, accepted the prize during the 5th National Meeting of Chief Innovation Officers held in Paris.

“We are very proud to receive this prestigious award which rec-ognizes the 787’s amazing techno-logical breakthrough,” said Galland. “We share this prize with the eight French companies providing criti-cal products and systems onboard the Dreamliner as well as the entire international team and our custom-ers around the world.”

The Hermes Awards, given by the European Institute for Creative Strategies and Innovation, honor those whose innovative ideas and products help advance society. The jury recognized the exceptional technological breakthrough the 787 is bringing to the market

The next day, I started the morn-ing’s interviews off to an easy start, a nice looking couple wearing jeans and t-shirts. He had long hair, and they had a slightly offbeat vibe but nothing you wouldn’t see at Star-bucks. When asked why she liked horror movies, Rachael responded, “Being scared, suspense. It’s crazy to see.” Jacob admitted that he liked the classics, but Rachael was ada-mant. “I like the gore.”

I was given a delicious tidbit by Preston Fassel. He and his wife Kayleigh had brought their young son to the convention.

“It’s about exposing the things that have always bothered people … intimate movies … what makes people think,” Fassel said.

Here was someone besides Richy who was search for some-thing in these movies. I was begin-ning to think there might be some-thing to these films after all. Oh, I almost forgot. He was the nicest, least threatening man you could ever meet.

These films are not only for in-dividuals searching for something, but a shared experience as well. I was able to talk with Barbara and her grandson. For three genera-tions, their family had been enjoy-ing horror movies together.

“[It] started with me and [my son] Jason,” Barbara said. Like many of the other convention at-tendees, their favorite horror film is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and their reasons were pretty close as well. “They’re more fun and actually have story. Now they’re more into special effects.”

She also said that horror mov-ies can cross generations, because they keep it in perspective. Part of me was slightly taken aback.

I, like most people, did not start watching horror movies as a young child, but these family horror fans raised an interesting question in my mind, one I still have not been able to answer: Why is it worse to see something than to read it? A large part of Western literature could be transferred directly into these genres. Why are we given license to read but not the see? Before I left, Barbara did admit that there is a limit to the decency. “There’s a limit where it jumps the shark and becomes absurd,” she said.

The professional opinions of the genre are not hopeful for the direc-tion the industry is taking, however. Tate Steinsiek is a special effects wizard who got his start studying under Tom Savini. Although the costumes effects have not changed since horror’s heyday, they are mar-ried with the digital special effects to make the plastic seem more real.

“It gives longevity with your artwork,” he said. However, these technological advancements have had an adverse effect on the cre-ative part of the process. Directors no longer have to be “crafty.” The limitations of the technology made directors think outside the box. With the easier technology, it has “watered down the film industry.” But even this is a bit of a blessing, he said, because the “true artists rise to the top.”

Scott Glosserman, an indepen-dent producer, has been working to bring back the old thoughtfulness and aesthetic of the genre. His new film, he said, “deconstructs the ar-chetypes of the horror/slasher genre … horror has become very deriva-tive.” The professionals all seemed to hold similar opinions on this matter. But he was quick to add that any work that actually explores the human element spawns bad cop-ies. “Saw encapsulated all our [Post 911] helplessness and hopelessness,

but it ushered in a lot of bleak tor-ture porn … It captured the feeling of living in the zero.” The genre has the very special ability to “project social and political commentary.”

The “hopeless and helplessness” is half of it, the other half is a rea-son. We are looking for a reason for everything we see in a world with-out rules, without the easy guide-

lines created by a common myth. Grindhouse gives that to us even if it is just the evil man getting his due in an equally violent way. Ev-erything is right in the world, we have our boundaries.

If you cross the boundaries that are no longer defined, you are still punished perhaps by others as evil as you, but it is still a form of justice.

By Jess PaniszczynThe first Boeing 787 Dreamliner

to arrive at DFW Airport was the star attraction Saturday, May 11, as hundreds of American Airlines employees and their families cel-ebrated the arrival of the new air-craft which has been referred to as the ‘future of American Airlines.’ Music, ice cream and Texas themed childrens games provided ambiance to the family friendly event.

“This is the future of our compa-ny,” said Brett Hines with the AA advantage department, after tour-ing the airplane. “With everything that is going on, it is so nice to see something refreshing in the avia-tion community. I have followed aviation for a long time, and this is like a dream come true. To actually see this piece of history is a thrill. It is hard to put into words. I am just overwhelmed with the experience of being out here.

“My favorite part was walking into the entryway of the 787 and seeing it for the first time. The open

galley way welcomes you into the aircraft.”

“The event was nice and the plane is beautiful,” said Lela Yancy, an AA reservations representative. “I loved the inside of the aircraft, especially first class. First class is wonderful. It is going to be beauti-ful on that aircraft.

“I didn’t expect there to be this many people. It’s something new and different, so I guess everyone wanted to see the new plane.”

Still waiting outside of the hang-er after waiting more than an hour standing in line to see the Dream-liner, AA mechanic Jose Diaz and his family entertained themselves by joking with each other and be-coming acquainted with fellow em-ployees.

“We came here to have family time, and so far we’ve had a good time,” said Diaz. “We met the peo-ple behind us, so we are also making new friends.

“I think the wait will be well worth it. I want to see the new air-

plane, and I want to be one of the first ones to get a good look at it.

“We brought our kids. My son wanted to stay home, but I wasn’t about to let him stay. I told him he had to come see this, because this is a once in a lifetime experience to be able to see an airplane that is brand new for the first time. They can go back to school and tell their friends about it.”

Seeing the Dreamliner was an extra Mothers’ Day treat for Connie Kielbasa visiting from Connecticut whose daughter works for AA.

“We waited over three hours, and it was well worth the wait,” Kielba-sa said. “The plane is absolutely gor-geous. They said there is 30 percent more room in the overhead luggage bins. The seats are wonderful. They have great leg room. You could be a seven foot tall person and still have a lot of room.

“I liked all the activities they had for the kids. The band was good. It gave the whole experience the Texas feel.”

DreamlinerContinued from Page 1

787 to DFW Airport as well as to American Airlines said John Wojick, vice president of Sales for North America, Boeing Commer-cial Airplanes. “The 787 Dreamlin-er really is a game changer for the industry. Not only does it deliver performance that is unrivaled by any other airplane out there, it also delivers the passenger amenities and comforts the American public is looking for.

“We have 11 of these airplanes flying in service today, and the air-lines are extremely pleased with the reliability and operation of the airplane. The fuel savings and cost savings it is generated, and the new markets it allows them to operate efficiently are truly a great thing for the airline. Beyond that, the airplane is truly great for the pas-sengers as well. People love the new windows, the big bins and the other amenities that cause this airplane to separate itself from the airplanes flying today.”

Thomas W. Horton, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Of-ficer

AMR Corporation/American Airlines, Inc., also welcomed the Dreamliner to Dallas.

“Today we are capping a great week at American Airlines,” Hor-ton said. “We can now see, touch and feel the future of American.

“Just a few days ago, we unveiled our redesigned international wide-bodied fleet with an industry lead-ing interior and amenities includ-ing lie flat seats, direct isle access, Wi-Fi and greatly enhanced in flight entertainment.

“We are starting to show the world what American is capable of – what the new American looks like. American is on its way back to the top. We came out of the first quarter of this year with great momentum. Our revenue improve-ment is significantly outpacing the industry.

“wwA lot of people have been surprised by that performance, but it speaks to the building blocks we have put in place. Our greatest strength has been and always will be the people of American.

“American plans to take up to 100 of these remarkable planes.

This is the future of our airline. It truly represents state of the art with improved aerodynamics, the lat-est in engine technology, reduced maintenance expenses, and cabin features that will make it the best possible customer service experi-ence in the world.

“No one in the industry wants to compete with the new American.

We have our challenges. We know what they are, and we will solve them. There is no short cut to long term success in this industry. There is no easy path to the finish line, but a week like this can make us all remember what it feels like to win again. We have the power to make it happen.”

Dark ShadowsRated: PG-13

In the Olympics, we had the dream team when it came to basketball. In Hollywood, there are a couple of “dream teams” as well. One of those is made up of

Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and Helena Bonham Carter. They are back this time in a rendition of the long running 60’s TV series, Dark Shadows. Mainly it is just an excuse for Depp to dress funny and walk around in a strange stupor. But we love when he does that, so it is ok.

Barnabas Collins (Depp) is from a well-to-do family in Maine. When he is cursed to be a Vampire by a scorned lover he goes to sleep in the 1700s only to be released again in the 1970s; still a vampire. He finds his family estate and dysfunctional

relatives to be in need of not only financial help but a little family counseling as well.

The current matriarch (Michelle Pfeiffer) is trying to cope with her angst filled daughter (Chloë Grace Moretz), money hungry hubby ( Jonny Lee Miller), and a live in therapist (Helena Bonham Carter) who is there for her troubled nephew (Gulliver McGrath). In order to save the family business Barnabas must wage war against the very witch (Eva Green) who put the spell on him and drove his family to ruins.

This has director Tim Burton’s fingerprints all over it. His set design and signature graphics make this a must see for fans. The look and styling is very similar to Sleepy Hollow, though the story is not nearly as strong. This tale rides bareback on a few silly characters and Depp’s ability to perform. It needed more though. The solid moments are when Barnabas is trying to accli-mate himself to the 70s. There is much in that decade to poke fun at and the movie shines when doing that. The rest of the time it is a monster mash of Barnabas and the witch that can’t have him.

The main issue is that though the film is superb to look at it doesn’t have enough humor or creative dia-logue. All the characters are one dimensional and fairly cliché. Plus the writing is far from unique. The pre-dictable moments are eye rolling and a majority of the thunder is stolen in the trailer.

Dark Shadows is rated PG-13 for comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking. Parents should be concerned when it comes to any member under the age of 16. Though never gratuitous it is certainly a bit much for those new to the teenage years. Plus there is the element of sorcery, blood sucking vampires, witches and spells. So do with that what you will.

I wanted to love this film since I am a huge fan of Depp and Burton. Sadly it left me bored. I give it 2.5 out of 5 jive talking disco balls. It just didn’t quite shake my groove thang.Review copyright 2012 Mungleshow Productions. Used by Permission.

There’s always action at Lively Skate Park in Irving. Helmeted and armored skateboarders keep up a dizzying pace, gliding, spinning, sailing and occasionally crashing. Parents, avert your eyes – it’s what they have to do.

The action took a different twist as participants in wheelchairs ea-gerly awaited their turn at the challenge. RISE Adventure, the Irving-based nonprofit that special-izes in adaptive recreational sports, partnered with Life Rolls On/They Will Skate Again and Baylor In-stitute for Rehabilitation to offer a unique skating clinic on May 5.

Dozens of participants came from throughout the Metroplex – as young as four; as old as boomer.

“I’m 59,” said Lois West, a for-mer figure skater who now lives in Fort Worth. “After three neurosur-geries, I was in a power wheelchair. One of my friends said it was mak-ing a prisoner of me; and more or less goaded me into starting to use a manual chair.

“Since then, I’ve participated in all kinds of sports in the chair – rugby, water-skiing, and now this. “

Susan Mahoney is a board member for RISE. Five years ago a drunk driver left her in a chair. Prior to that, she had been a paramedic.

“At first it’s tough to get used to what your new life is going to be,” Mahoney said. “But your find these groups and events, and you realize you can do everything anybody else does.

“This is an opportunity of a life-time, to have Life Rolls On/They Will Skate Again come out here,” she said of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation subsidiary. “It’s an inspiration to keep people active.

“We get everybody helmeted and padded, they sign some waiv-ers and they can participate right in their chair. We call this a team sport, because the family is in-volved, to get kids out. Everybody can do something. “

Those who face the rest of their lives in a chair – they’re known as end-users – rely on equipment such as a well-designed, lightweight chair that accommodates the moves of their sports. Participants pointed to titanium construction and cam-bered wheels, with more than a few sporting custom paint jobs and bling.

They can even point to their own celebrity who attended the event to organize some of the exercises. Aar-on “Wheelz” Fotheringham makes a living as a professional adaptive skater and was on hand to show

some carving and invite partici-pants to drop into a bowl. His ac-complishments include landing the first-ever wheelchair backflip and double backflip.

“I was born with spina bifida,” said Wheelz, 20. “I always saw the wheelchair as a toy, you know? People would be sorry for me and they’d say, ‘Aw, you’re in a wheel-chair; you can’t do this or that.’ And I’d say, ‘I’m on wheels! If anything, it’s easier!’

“I always thought of the wheel-chair as something positive.

“So I began doing skateboard-type tricks. I was my own competi-tion. Whenever I landed one trick, I’d try to do something else, because I get bored pretty quick.

“Maybe I can change the stereo-types about people on chairs. Show people we can flip out. It’s cool to see more and more people doing it. “

That’s the point, according to Chris Goad who serves as their Di-rector of Development for RISE.

“I believe so much in what they do,” he said. “All their programs are free, and they’re really touching lives.

“”We’re involved with Scottish Rite Hospitals to reach out – also Cook Children’s in Fort Worth, the MDA, Spina Bifida organizations,

MS organizations. We’re focusing on everybody, but we really want to focus on the kids. Get them into the programs, and then they’ll stay active into adulthood.

“We have one kid that came out to our wheelchair rugby pro-gram – he was a paraplegic with a spinal cord injury and also a trau-matic brain injury. Well, he saw a bunch of quadriplegics out there doing things that he wasn’t doing. So all of a sudden he started push-ing himself a little harder. It helped build his confidence.

“A lot of what we do is not just recreation; it’s building the sense that they can go to school, they can work.

“They see other people in chairs and think, ‘Oh, if he can do it, I can do it.’”

Even Exchange

HooverContinued from Page 1

“If a young person has a desire to have a career in aviation, I would suggest that you don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it, because I overcame a lot of ob-stacles,” Hoover said after the Gala. “I had bad eyes and got sick every time I got in an airplane, I overcame both of those. I wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“If you’re climbing a ladder and there is a ring miss-ing, you have to find a way around it. Maybe you have to fall back and start all over again, but don’t give up.”

In an aviation career that spanned over 60 years, Hoover recalled his proudest achievement.

“I landed behind enemy lines once in North Africa, picked up a friend whose engine failed and flew him to safety. I saved his life. I am more proud of that than most anything else,” Hoover said.

The evening’s Gala included dinner and live music as well as a live and silent auctions to raise funds for the museum.

“Bob Hoover is an aviation icon,” Jeanes said. “He is a hero to everybody. Pilots call him a pilot’s pilot. We all look up to him. He is a neat guy and a mentor to everyone.

“Tonight’s interview was just like sitting in his living room talking to him. He is such a personable guy, and he wants to teach people what he learned about flying.

“The museum is working on building a new children’s learning center, so we are using this as a fund raiser to build some of the exhibits. We want to inspire kids to learn about what it is like to fly, what airplanes are like and how they fly.

“Tonight’s purpose is twofold. One, we are trying to raise money for the museum and the exhibits. The other is to let people know who we are and what we are about. This also provides our volunteers, sponsors and mem-bers a special event to come out to. It is just a fun night.”

The evening’s emcee, Jeff Bolton, first learned about aviation through literature.

“The Cavanaugh Flight Museum represents every-thing that is good about us as a nation,” Bolton said. “People need to know that in all of the controversy and craziness that is America there is a place you can go where people honor the right things.

“Most kids aren’t exposed to aviation. It is not a ca-reer that you hear mentioned with any frequency in part, because many years ago it was tied almost exclusively to military pilots. Most military pilots became commercial aviators. Only in recent years has commercial aviation begun to supply the pipeline of pilots that we need. It is not something that has trickled down sufficiently to grade school and middle school as a trade option. Pi-lots are highly trained people in the cockpits, but they are tradesmen too. Until we have the organizations that produce pilots willing to get involved in education you will not see a lot of school children preparing for a ca-reer in aviation.

“There are a thousand pilots who will take a young person up who is interested in aviation. But for a kid who doesn’t have those relationships, books are there and it is all available. I knew about aviation, because I discovered the whole world through books. It is still the best way, except for flying, to learn about aviation.”
