chool’s out and hopefully you’re enjoying some well-deserved rest, relaxation and fun times with family and friends.

To start your summer off right, we’ve included some “New & Notable” restaurant and shop openings — and the eateries’ patios are sure to please.

Though it’s winding down at this point, the Cliburn has been in full force around town, and 11 families in our neighborhood have been acting as hosts for the musicians. We had the privilege of going behind the scenes and visiting with Tina Gorski, who’s been involved with the competition since its debut in 1962.

In this issue you’ll also get to meet Deborah Jung, our local luminary, who has been introducing children to the stage for 25 consecutive summers as the founder and executive director of Kids Who Care. Please get acquainted, too, with the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s Backyard Vegetable Garden. Not only is this revamped space used to educate children during the school year, it’s also open from dawn until dusk every day to inspire one and all.

And to cool you off as the temperature rises, the Food & Drink section directs you to places where you can indulge in a delectable — and frozen — treat.

Mary Rogers continues her popular column “This & That” in this issue of 76107. So grab a cold drink, kick back and find out what’s happening in our neighborhood.

Get cozy with Tex-MexTrevino’s Comida Mexicana isn’t new to the DFW

area, not by a long shot. For more than 25 years, Louie and Bertha Trevino have been serving their Tex-Mex in Rockwall. Now, the couple has ventured west and plans to open a cozy Fort Worth location in June.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Bertha said of the restaurant, which had been slated to open in mid-May but was stalled by Texas weather and delays in paving the parking lot.

Situated in a former office and dental lab on Montgomery Street, the restaurant will offer diners a comfortable, casual atmosphere. While inside seating will be limited, ample seating will be available on the patio. Because of its proximity to the Will Rogers Memorial Center, the Trevinos anticipate a full house during events.

The eatery will open for lunch and dinner seven days a week and breakfast on weekends. The menu is basic fajitas-and-enchiladas Tex-Mex fare with a few Texas-style twists, like the Texas Fried Burrito, which features a deep-fried tortilla filled with beef and beans, topped with chile con queso and chile and served with chunky avocado.

Bertha plans to open Una Flor, an upscale resale shop, next door.

Amon Carter acquires The CavesThe Amon Carter Museum’s latest

acquisition, The Caves, a painting by 19th-century landscape artist Robert Seldon Duncanson (1821–1872), can be viewed publicly for the first time in almost 145 years as part of the museum’s permanent collection. Duncanson was the first African-American artist to achieve international acclaim.

“Duncanson is an immensely important figure in American art,” says Andrew J. Walker, director of the Amon Carter. “He was a self-taught black artist from Cincinnati and a leading landscape painter of his time.”

Painted in 1869, The Caves depicts an intimate view of the wilderness with steep ravines and sandstone cliffs perforated by a canopy of evergreens and a trio of caverns. The work is grand in scale at approximately 3-feet tall and is in near-perfect condition.

Four watercolors from the museum’s permanent collection by Adrien Mayers (1801?–1833) will be exhibited near the Duncanson painting through Sept. 4. The watercolors portray an early view of Cincinnati, Duncanson’s adopted hometown and the place that nurtured his career.

Also on view are works by 20th- and 21st-century black artists Romare Bearden (1911–1988) and Sedrick Huckaby (born in 1975). Bearden’s work is featured in the Amon Carter’s summer exhibition “Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey,” on view through Aug. 11. Fort Worth artist Sedrick Huckaby’s 18-foot-by-14-foot painting Hidden in Plain Site, created in 2011, is on view through Oct. 31 in the museum’s atrium.

Though it’s her first time to host a competitor, Tina Gorski’s history

with the Cliburn goes way back

Music of the Years

arts & culture

oll back the calendar to 1962. The Cold War is reaching a crescendo. The Cuban Missile Crisis,

pitting democracy against communism, is on the horizon. Against the backdrop of

dissonance playing on the world stage, a young Fort Worth girl bikes to the corner drugstore on her own clandestine mission.

Her assignment: purchase American beauty products for a Soviet pianist participating in the first-ever Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Living next door to the pianist’s host family is 12-year-old operative Tina Harrison. Purchasing cosmetics is the easy part of Tina’s assignment. Sneaking the forbidden objects of capitalist excess to the Soviet musician under the watchful eye of her seemingly omnipresent KGB escort is where the mission’s intensity hit its high note.

Mission accomplished, beauty enhancers stealthily delivered, our young heroine pedals off unaware she has embarked on what will become a lifelong association with the Cliburn.

Return to 2013. The Soviet Union collapsed more than 20 years ago. The missile crisis is reduced to three paragraphs in high school history

books. Dire predictions about global warming have replaced Cold War fears. And, as it does every four years, Fort Worth plays host to the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, this year concluding June 9.

Just as reliable and steadfast as the competition itself is Tina Gorski, a grown-up version of that 12-year-old cosmetics smuggler. Whether making illicit makeup runs, cheering enthusiastically from the audience or unfailingly volunteering her time and energy, Gorski has been involved in all 14 Cliburn competitions. Twice she led the gift-shop committee, and in 2005 and 2009, she chaired the

social committee.At this year’s competition, she and her husband, Ted, are hosting

one of the competitors in their home. The Cliburn is a family affair, so Gorski passed the mantle of gift-shop committee chair to her sister, Anna Melissa Philpott, while accepting the host-family mantle from another sister and her husband, Marsha and John Kleinheinz.

“I am so excited because we are hosting Luca Buratto from Italy,” Gorski said. “I had my fingers crossed hoping this is who we would host. My sister hosted his teacher, Davide Cabassi, eight years ago. We adore Davide and feel like Luca is already a part of the family.”

The Cliburn is a family affair for the Gorskis. Ted and Tina, center, are first-time hosts this

year, while their children, Susanna and James, volunteer as Cliburn 180º social hosts.

At 20, Buratto is one of the youngest competitors in the 2013 Cliburn field.

As often happens with Cliburn host families, Gorski’s sister and brother-in-law remain close to Cabassi. They have visited with him several times since the 2005 competition, even traveling to Italy to attend his wedding.

“I’m not sure what Davide has told Luca about our family, but I hope he isn’t disappointed because I’m the serious sister,” Gorski said.

While it is the Gorskis’ first time to serve as a host family, Buratto will be the second competitor to stay at their Westover Hills residence. “This was my parents’ home, and they hosted Eliane Rodrigues from Brazil in 1977. I hope the house still has good vibes, because Eliane made it to the semifinals!”

One of the reasons Gorski decided to host a competitor this year is that she is experiencing empty-nest syndrome. “Our children are 28 and 30 years old,

and the time is right to host,” she said. She’s thrilled to have so much activity in the house again, considering it all an adventure. “Listening to Luca play and having his music fill our home is wonderful.”

The tradition of housing competitors in homes is “a wonderful Cliburn and Texas tradition,” Gorski said. “At most competitions, pianists are housed in dorms or hotels.” Those home stays are also a West Side tradition. Eleven of the 30 competitors at this year’s Cliburn are being hosted by families who live in the 76107 zip code.

Gorski lists feeding Buratto and getting him to Bass Performance Hall on time for his performances as her primary hosting responsibilities. To make certain he feels at home, Gorski contacted him before he

At 20, Italian Luca Buratto is one of the youngest competitors in the 2013 Cliburn field. And though he didn’t advance this year, he’s eligible to audition

left Italy to find out what types of food he enjoys. “He said he likes everything,” adding that he was looking forward to enjoying the “specialitàs of the house.” She went to Central Market and picked out treats and food she thought he’d enjoy.

Gorski downplays her cooking skills and, considering Buratto’s relative youth, she anticipated he would want to sample Fort Worth’s culinary and cultural amenities. “We had pizza from Campisi’s his first day here. Of course we had to eat barbecue, and we’ve been to the Woodshed and Joe T. Garcia’s. Before he leaves, I think we’ll probably go to the Northside, see the longhorns and experience the cowboy element in Fort Worth,” she said.

The Cliburn Foundation provides host families with Steinways during the competition so competitors can practice on instruments similar to the performance pianos. Gorski said Buratto likes to practice all day and rest at night. Her goal is to create a warm, nurturing environment while allowing him

time to work and time to be alone. During their stay in Fort Worth, there are

times when the competitors want a diversion from the inherent pressure of participating in one of the world’s most prestigious piano competitions. To provide that respite, a team of volunteers, called Cliburn 180°, serves as social hosts.

“Our daughter and son, Susanna and James, are Cliburn 180° hosts, and both are teamed with a competitor,” Gorski said. The peer-to-peer hosts give competitors opportunities to socialize with someone their own age and experience Fort Worth beyond the concert hall. “Cliburn 180° inspires a new generation of support and volunteers for the competition because they get to know the competitors.”

Recalling a 12-year-old girl sneaking American beauty products to a Soviet pianist, Gorski added, “If I hadn’t known one of the competitors as a child and had that experience, I wouldn’t have the passion that I have now for the Cliburn.”

Tina has been passionate about the Cliburn since childhood. “Listening to Luca play and having his music fill our home is wonderful.”

For Kids Who Care founder Deborah Jung, all the world’s a stage, but the play’s

about transforming real lives.

You could call it Adults Who Care About Kids. A lot.

As it is, the resident musical theater school at Fort Worth’s W.E. Scott Theatre is simply called Kids Who Care.

Nevertheless, it’s a place where children and youth are cherished. “Every person on our staff is top-of-field,” said Deborah Jung, the organization’s founder and executive director. What distinguishes them is their desire to work with, develop and inspire youngsters.

From its beginning as a single-session summer theater camp, KWC has grown to include three summer camps — one of them hosting international exchange students — and a year-round program for kids ages 4 to 18. KWC also has a resident company of 55 to 60 kids that performs about 40 shows a year. Jung grew up in Euless and attended Trinity University in San Antonio, earning a degree in speech and drama. After graduating, she returned home and started her career at Casa Mañana in 1975, remaining there 14 years. “I was on stage nine months a year doing the classic series and children’s series. We’d perform Hamlet and then Winnie the Pooh. I was always in a

production,” she said.Other performing artists might have looked at Jung’s

career with a twinge of envy. She was in a resident company and had the security of knowing that when one show closed, another would open. Jung was not looking for work, yet in the midst of her professional success, a new challenge awaited.

“In 1986, my mother and I went to the 10th-anniversary celebration of Jacques D’Amboise’s National Dance Institute at New York’s Madison Square Garden. During the finale, there were more than 1,500 kids from all over

the world dancing for pure joy,” Jung said.“When I saw 1,500 dancers on the floor of Madison

Square Garden, I told myself, ‘That’s what I’m going to do in Fort Worth.’ ”

Jung started thinking about the possibilities of having a musical theater school. Through Casa Mañana’s children’s series, she saw what happens when children are exposed to the theater and how the arts revolutionize a child’s ability to think creatively.

A year after her New York trip, Jung held a theater camp in the Arlington Heights United Methodist Church. Two years later, in 1989, she moved it to Scott Theatre, and Kids Who Care officially launched with 33 students.

Part of Jung’s personal mission, then and now, is to “find the kids who can’t find us.” In that first year, she held auditions at local Boys and Girls Clubs, and 13 students received full scholarships to the KWC summer camp. Three students from Italy also participated as part of Fort Worth’s involvement in the Sister Cities program, beginning a tradition of international student participation in the camps.

“This summer we’ll have 175 kids from around the world participating in our international camp, and about 50 of them will be on full scholarships,” Jung said.

All told, more than 300 students will take part in KWC programs this year. KWC is best known, perhaps, for


its international summer program. On the surface, it looks like a typical three-week theater camp where youngsters learn from professional lighting and design technicians, playwrights, actors and directors. At camp’s end, the kids put on five performances of the musical they rehearsed during those three weeks.

But KWC is much more than that.“We allow kids’ dreams to be possible,

because they’re experiencing things that seem impossible to some people.” Every year there are students who simply do not believe that 175 kids can work together, learn their roles and perform an entire musical in only three weeks.

Jung recalls one student who was 14 or 15 when he came to KWC. “He was cynical and very verbal about it. He thought our

optimism and joy of being here was all fake. He even told our box-office manager, ‘This will fail. There are too many children. They’re confused and don’t know what they’re doing.’ ”

The box-office manager tried to assure the student the musical would succeed. “Only with God’s help,” he asserted, to which she replied, “God loves Deborah.”

God must indeed love Deborah Jung, because she not only produces KWC musicals; she produces miracles, collecting performance-art converts as she goes.

When the curtain went up at camp’s end, this

student saw a sold-out house, and he started sensing the possibility. “At the last number, the audience was jumping to its feet, and

he was giggling like a teenage girl. He believed.

“He caught the spirit of optimism that was not part of his being when he arrived. He created art that made people cry and jump to their feet,” Jung said.

“What he experienced is a regular occurrence here. Those who are the most cynical when they first walk in, the ones griping the most, are the ones crying the hardest three weeks later when it ends.”

Recognizing her career’s work and her role in transforming kids’ lives through musical theater, the Live Theatre League of Tarrant County named Jung this year’s recipient of its Elston Brooks Lifetime Achievement Award.

Accolades from her peers are gratifying, but they do not cue the curtain to close on Jung’s career. “What really excites me now, and will keep me going until I’m 85, is ensuring the next generation gets it. Ensuring Kids Who Care is a permanent company. Ensuring there is a place where kids are cherished.”

$140,000 makeover earlier this year, thanks to the Fort Worth Botanical Society, and its programs are expanding, utilizing a $25,000 grant from ScottsMiracle-Gro.

The vegetable garden serves as an eye-opener for children unaccustomed to knowing where their food comes from, says Gail R. Manning, education horticulturist and entomologist at the Botanic Garden. During repeat spring-semester visits, fourth-graders get the chance to plant something, report on its progress and eventually harvest it, all in a program geared to their curriculum, she says. This year, their crop included onions and potatoes. Approximately 2,000 children of various ages visit the garden each spring.

Don’t be surprised if you never noticed the spot, near the Japanese Garden and the Rose Garden. “There wasn’t a sidewalk to it; it was kept locked,” Manning says. Now sidewalks lead to and through the former Children’s

Vegetable Garden, renamed to reflect more of a family approach.

The plot’s new sidewalks and raised beds embrace an orchard of peach, apple and other fruit trees; vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, beans and peas; flowers, including roses and verbena; and herbs. There are even three rows of cotton. Structures include the playhouse and a greenhouse, both of them donated and renovated, and a new pavilion for classes and other activities.

The Botanical Society spent $127,000 on infrastructure — those

sidewalks, raised beds, irrigation, the pavilion, soil and plants — says its president, Dolores Geisel, who helmed the fundraising effort. Another $5,000 will pay for equipment,

with the remainder of the funds the society raised going toward maintenance. Tarrant County master gardeners and other

volunteers donate labor.“Most kids never see vegetables

growing,” says Geisel. She wants them to see that “and see that things can be beautiful.”

Although the garden continues to focus on children, the name was changed in April to reflect a new emphasis on family activities, Manning says. She wrote the Gro1000 grant application, for $15,000 in

cash and a $10,000 in-kind donation. The latter consisted of ScottsMiracle-Gro products, such as soil, mulch, fertilizer and tools.

Programs include activities for toddlers, instruction from master gardeners on such topics as fall vegetable gardening, and continued visits by school groups.

Meanwhile, corn — not quite as high as an elephant’s eye — stands next to a clump of wheat, so kids can see what grain looks like. “They’re kind of confused that bread comes from a plant,” Manning says. “They’re really baffled by corn — that it’s so big.”

If you travel Carroll Street on the west side of Montgomery Ward Plaza in 76107, you’ve seen the construction crews at the old Jasko’s Auto Body Shop space and the sign announcing “coLAB coming soon.”

“What’s that?” you say.Here’s the deal.

Newcomer Blake Panzino, 30 and a Chicago native, and his wife and business partner, Meggan, from a Throckmorton ranching family with deep Texas roots, have a million ideas; coLAB is just one of them.

But if this works, many of those self-employed entrepreneurs who camp out at coffee shops because they don’t have an office and can’t work at home may find a new way to do business — and they’ll probably learn to play boccie ball to boot.

NEW TWIST The Panzinos say coLAB is the most current version of the old “executive suite” concept. But rather than creating the isolated spaces of that old model, Blake and Meggan expect this “shared work space” to be an incubator for interaction and creativity.

Besides single offices offered at attractive rates, they have “desk rental options” for businesses too small for an office or for people who thrive in a busy, communal environment.

That’s right. For about $225 a month, you can rent a desk in a large room with other business owners renting desks, too.

No more isolation. No more swimming alone — and lonely. But if you need a private space for a phone call, you can slip into one of several “phone booths” in the hall.

Rent pays for desk or office space, utilities, Internet and Wi-Fi, access to printers and fax, and the use of the conference room, with all the technology you’ll need.

PLAY BALL Blake’s office, just off the main lobby, will have a tire swing suspended from the ceiling for his toddler son, Mac.

Blake and Meggan haven’t forgotten that their own inner kids need to come out and play, too. When the architect designed

a putting green for the outdoor courtyard, Blake was intrigued.

“But putting is so insular,” he says. “I’m Italian. I thought, why not boccie ball? With boccie ball, you have to find people to come out and play with you. We’re after that interaction. …That’s where ideas come from.”

Oh, and watch for Meggan and Blake Panzino. We’ll hear lots more from them.

WHO KNEW? After 100 years, the 7th Street bridge, built in 1913 and improved a couple of times, is coming down, making room for a new bridge. It’s been there so long no one remembers the bridge it replaced — and it seems there are no photos of that earlier bridge.

It’s said that Fort Worth pioneers, including city father Maj. K.M. Van Zandt, who once lived in a little cottage near present-day Trinity Park, used a low-water crossing near the present bridge site to cross the river.

The major, one of Fort Worth’s most respected and storied leaders, eventually built a grand home on Penn Street; apparently he built the first 7th Street bridge, too.

Erected sometime in the 1880s, the original bridge began carrying streetcars as well as wagons as Arlington Heights, west of downtown, grew.

In 1913, a new bridge took its place. It was named in honor of Van Zandt, whose large farm once spread across what is now Trinity Park and the Cultural District and whose influence extended much farther.

“There used to be a plaque on the 7th Street bridge that said ‘Van Zandt Viaduct,’ ” says Pen Cranz, a 76107 resident and the major’s great-grandson. “It’s funny, but there’s not much family history as far as that first bridge is concerned,” he says.

There are, however, lots of other stories about the major; his 14 children; his brother, who was one of this city’s first physicians; and his dad, Isaac Van Zandt, who went to Washington to help secure the annexation of Texas to the Union and then died of yellow fever as he was campaigning for the office of governor in 1847.

NEIGHBORHOOD SCRIBE For several years Westover Hills resident Laurie Moore has been cranking out a series of cozy murder mysteries featuring Dainty Prescott, a debutante turned television news anchor.

Laurie says the sassy character was inspired by her own daughter, Laura Katherine Blanton, now DesGranges, who made her debut with The Assembly, the city’s oldest debutante presentation organization, in 1988.

Deb on Air, the latest in the “Live at Five” series, will be out so soon that Barnes & Noble in University Park Village has already slated a book signing for 1 p.m., Aug. 10.

Laurie says she never made her debut, but she and her mom, Virginia Fender, are members of The Assembly. She also says thanks to the bluebonnet debs (Texans) for her writing success, saying they inspired her.

“Anything about Texas is larger than life … and debutantes are a big deal in the South and something of a novelty to the rest of the country,” says Laurie.

MY NIGHTSTAND I couldn’t put down The Light Between the Oceans by M.L. Stedman and The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman. But for me Alice Hoffman’s The Dovekeepers is a remarkable work rich in detail and language, a haunting piece of historical fiction based on well-done research.

I finally got around to Life of Pi by Yann Martel and ripped through Wool, the online self-published science fiction novella by Hugh Howey that is stirring some talk in the publishing world.

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult was a good read; but it was harder to warm to How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets by Garth Stein, author of the entertaining The Art of Racing in the Rain.

Now I can’t wait to get And the Mountains Echoed, the newest offering from Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.

This stucco stand-alone shop with its own patio serves award-winning frozen custard, which according to manager Sam Young boasts a full 20-percent butterfat for an ultrarich and creamy texture. At Curly’s, they call a cup “concrete,” a nod to the density of the custard. Young’s current fave is the cappuccino. “The majority of people would say that Parker County peach and pumpkin are the favorites,” she adds, noting that the peach is a seasonal item, usually available starting in July. Go for the custard, but be sure to try the Cheeto pie, a new twist on an old favorite.

Right about the time the mercury blasts into the 90s, nothing tantalizes the palate or soothes the soul like diving into a frozen treat. In 76107,

that may mean a double scoop of gelato, a handmade ice cream sandwich, snow cone, frozen custard, froyo or sorbet in an array of

flavors. (Think “banana beet,” “dill pickle” and “sweet corn thorntree honey.”) So grab a spoon

and get set for brain freeze. Summer is here!

An Italian immigrant brought gelato — that luscious frozen dessert with some 30 percent of the fat of standard American ice cream — to Dallas in the late ’90s; today Paciugo offers more than 150 rotating flavors. “My favorite changes

daily,” says Huong Bui Tran, who along with her husband, Yen, has owned the Crockett Street shop for a year. “Today is lemon custard.” She also indulges in best-sellers like Texas pecan sea salt caramel, pannacotta (wedding cake) and fondente (extra-dark chocolate). Each day, the Trans serve up 32 flavors, including one soy, one NSA (no sugar added) and six nondairy sorbets.

Lines at Jon Anderson’s little yellow pit stop perched in the Texaco station parking lot can stretch a quarter-block deep in the heat of the day. Since starting in the New Orleans-style snow cone biz back in 1991, “Mr. Jon” has expanded his menu to some 90 flavors. “Blue coconut still outsells everything,” he says. “It’s what folks remember from their childhood, eating in the stands of baseball games or at the fair.” Mr. Jon’s customers can partake of a host of tantalizing flavors, from marshmallow and clear strawberry to red velvet cake, mai tai and salty dog. A dozen Splenda-based syrups appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth who doesn’t want the sugar buzz.

New owners Eric and Mira Rollins, who got their keys to this colorful shop at the beginning of the year, appreciate

Yogolait’s cult following in Fort Worth. “We have a lot of

regulars,” says Eric, who counts “sea salt caramel pretzel” as his favorite flavor. With the walls adorned with artwork by Elena, Emilio and Elisa Harth-Bedoya — the Fort Worth

music conductor’s

children — and

what Eric describes as a “New Age

jukebox,” where

customers select the shop’s tunes from online streaming

sites like Spotify and Pandora, Yogolait “has its own different atmosphere.”

That extends to cyberspace, too; customers vote on their “flavorite”
