| Warrenton pillar Robert Walker dies | News - Fauquier Times Posted: 25 Jun 2019 09:12 AM PDT Robert Walker believed in service, -- to his community as a longtime Warrenton Town Council member, to his church as a trustee, treasurer and soloist in the church choir, and to the black community in the fight for justice. Walker died Monday, June 24, at age 85. Funeral arrangements at Joynes Funeral Home in Warrenton are still being worked out. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Lillian, four children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Businessman and friend Walker learned barbering skills from his father, then went on to a long career running the family shop in Warrenton. He was Warrenton's first elected black council member and served for 17 years starting in the mid-1980s. Walker was a member of the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Warrenton for 68 years, a trustee for 40. He sang baritone in the choir. "We grew up together. He and my sister were the same age," said Helen Carter, the church's clerk. She said he was a man who would go to the homes of friends to cut their hair and provide a shave if they were ill and couldn't get out – and do it for free. He was on a first-name basis with his community. "He was called Bob, Robert, Uncle Bob and Granddaddy Bob even if he wasn't related to them," Carter said. He continued to work at Walker's Barber Shop on Third Street and mowed his lawn for as long as he was able. Carter said Walker played an "instrumental" role in the integration of local schools. He attended one of the Rosenwald schools, named for Sears & Roebuck co-owner Julius Rosenwald, a philanthropist who helped build more than 5,300 schools for black children across the South before integration. She said he also fought to keep the name of William C. Taylor alive. Taylor High School, the original high school for black students in Warrenton – now Taylor Middle School -- was named after the longtime local educator. Carter said Walker was also a public school bus driver for 32 years. She said he would always make sure a child got home, even if it meant taking the child home in his own vehicle, "back in the day when such an act wouldn't cause a stir." Carter said Mount Zion was Walker's "second home." As one of the trustees, he would make sure that "when a window was broken or a light went out, he'd take care of it," Carter said. Walker was also a Mason for 58 years and a lifetime member of the NAACP. Dr. James Kelly, president of the Fauquier County NAACP, said Walker was "always eager and ready to serve whenever and wherever he could. In the difficult times of the chapter, when people were absent from various positions, it was Bob Walker who would step up to the challenge to fulfill the vacancy." Kelly said he often tapped Walker's deep local knowledge. "When I wanted history and background, I would stop by the barber shop and chat with Brother Bob Walker," Kelly said. "Bob Walker was a friend, a friend to everyone who knew him; no matter where they crossed in the path of life; and we will miss his leadership, his friendship, his kindness, and his thoughtfulness," Kelly added. Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill said, "Warrenton has lost a pillar of the community. Very few among us have given so much as he has, and he did so simply by being himself. From carrying on his father's business and working towards the successful integration of town, to his 17 years serving on town council, Bob Walker quietly made an indelible mark on Warrenton that made us better as a community. His history made our history." Warrenton Council at large member Renard Carlos recalled, "I, like so many others in this town, can remember sitting in Mr. Bob's barber shop as a child, watching while he cut hair. As a young enthusiastic political newcomer, I remember sitting in that same shop as he counseled me on how to present my views on issues in a way that folks could understand and shared his years of experience on council with me. I will truly miss him."  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2019 10:24 AM PDT Jaclyn Smith is remembering her beloved co-star and friend Farrah Fawcett 10 years after her death. The "Charlie's Angels" icon passed away from cancer on June 25, 2009. She was 62. FARRAH FAWCETT'S LAST WORDS REVEALED "Farrah was relentless in her fight," Smith told People Magazine on Tuesday of the late actress' decision to go public with her illness and launch The Farrah Fawcett Foundation to raise funds for research and education.  Farrah Fawcett, circa 1975. (Getty) "Who would have dreamed that this girl who was known for the smile and the hair and the glamour would open up the depths of her soul to share with the world?" said the 73-year-old. Smith said she still vividly recalls the day Fawcett first told her she had cancer. "She said, 'I always thought I might get breast cancer or heart disease but never this' and she started to cry," said Smith. "I never saw her cry after that."  "Charlie's Angels" stars Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson pictured in 1976. (ABC via Getty Images) Smith said she was determined to be by her pal's side. The friendship first began on the set of "Charlie's Angels" and remained strong ever since. The series aired from 1976 until 1981. "We had each other's backs," said Smith. "It was like a college dorm, eating in our trailers together. Sometimes we'd shop on weekends for what we were going to wear. We were not just actresses working, but girlfriends and it remained that way for 40 years." "['Charlie's Angels'] changed our lives," Smith continued. "We were sorta like rock stars. When we went to Hawaii for the season opener, we had guards around the clock. We all went on to do our thing, but the power of 'Charlie's Angels' — it helped define who we were and where we went."  The original "Charlie's Angels," actresses Farrah Fawcett (L), Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, appear during a tribute to producer Aaron Spelling during the 58th annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles August 27, 2006. (Reuters) While Fawcett left the show in 1977, Smith insisted there were no hard feelings between the women. FARRAH FAWCETT'S PAL TELLS ALL "When Farrah decided to leave after one season, we all supported her," said Smith. "She wasn't afraid to say, 'This is what I'm gonna do.' Farrah wanted to be seen as a serious actress. She marched to her own drum. And once she was accepted as an actress, she went back to Playboy and posed at 50 years old. From a serious actress to a sex symbol again. There was never a boring moment." And as Fawcett suffered from cancer, the love they shared over the years endured.  Actress Farrah Fawcett poses for a portrait in Los Angeles, California, circa 1975. (Getty) "She was in pain and couldn't stay still," said Smith about visiting Fawcett in her Los Angeles apartment. "I was rubbing her feet, trying to make her feel better. And that relaxed her. We must have talked for three hours about our lives, about our children, about growing up in Texas. The time I spent with Farrah at the end was the best because we appreciated the friendship." "What I remember about Farrah is that as much of an 8-by-10 glossy as she was, she was the friend who cheered me on, the girl who loved her parents, the girl down the street," continued Smith. "Together, we shared the ups and downs of life, of happiness and sadness. I miss her every day. A lot of people are gone now and that's hard. I miss them and it's OK to miss them."  Former "Charlie's Angels" stars Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett stand onstage during a tribute to Aaron Spelling at the 58th annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles August 27, 2006. (Reuters) Back in 2018, Smith told Fox News she still cherished fond memories of her time filming "Charlie's Angels" alongside her friend. "We had laughs, we had so many laughs," said Smith. "Angels in chains, being chained together. Eating lunch together. It was an education and it was eye-opening because each girl was so unique with her own personality and style. And these are my friends today. That bond is what I really remember."  |
| An Eater's Guide to Detroit - Eater Detroit Posted: 25 Jun 2019 09:03 AM PDT Coney islands, Prohibition-era dive bars, shawarma, and farm-to-table cuisine — it's all part of the contrasting palette that makes up Detroit's dining scene. The muscle and minds behind the car manufacturing lines helped shaped Detroit's early restaurant history catering to blue collar workers and upper echelon executives, but changes in the region's economy are fostering a new chapter in the city's food economy. This guide is your primer to navigating that complex, fast-evolving landscape. Table Of Contents (all h2's added automatically) Welcome to the land of Square PizzaMost outsiders know Detroit as the home of the Big Three and a place that seen more than its fair share of economic challenges. The economic downturn has been far from kind to Detroiters, but the vibrant arts community, small businesses, and a burgeoning young, food scene are points of pride for people living here. Culinarians readily take advantage of Michigan's incredible meat, produce, and locally brewed and distilled spirits. These restaurants celebrate the area's rich multicultural heritage, including Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, Polish, Italian, German, Latin American, and Bangladeshi communities as well as influences from the American South. Any first-time visitor to Detroit should plan stops for Coney dogs and square pizza (preferably from one of the originals restaurants) into their day. Lebanese food is also a must, so work time and stomach real estate in for the maza, kibbeh nayeh, and fresh pita bread at Dearborn's James Beard award-winning Al-Ameer Restaurant. For a divine breakfast or afternoon dessert stop, head to Sister Pie for a buckwheat chocolate chip cookie or a slice of salted maple pie. You'll also want to make time for a cocktail at one of Detroit's many up-and-coming craft establishments. Where to Start on Eater Detroit's Best MapsEater publishes oodles of maps to guide you through all of Detroit's can't-miss foods, drinks, restaurants and bars. We're picky and opinionated when it comes to experience and quality. Fans both of the new and the classics. Below find some vital spots for those exploring the city with little time to take a deep dive. :format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4170112/sisterpiedetroit.0.jpg) Michigan sour cherry pie at Sister Pie. [Photo: Bill Addison/Eater] Hot Restaurants: It safe to say that Detroit's restaurant scene hasn't been this hot in at least thirty years, if ever. Many of the restaurants on the Eater Detroit Heatmap boast an empty seat on weekends and a few spurn reservation books. Katoi captivated diners this spring with its shareable, Thai-influenced dishes and innovative cocktail list. A summertime newcomer Grey Ghost also books up quickly. Essential Restaurants: For first-timers in the city, the Detroit 38 is an essential tool for navigating the Motor City's iconic and consistent flavors (updated quarterly). Detroit-style pizza is having a moment on menus across the country but you can bite into the original square here at Buddy's Pizza and, for a taste of the new guard, don't miss West Village's irresistible bakery Sister Pie. Bars: Like Detroit's food renaissance, craft cocktail bars are coming up in droves. One of the most exemplary examples is Standby in downtown, which employs progressive bartending techniques to build drinks with layered flavors. Meanwhile, distilleries like Two James in Corktown have become essential to the fabric of Detroit's bar culture by building on the city's booze-soaked heritage with craft spirits. Iconic Dishes: The vital intel on this map will guide you through some of the Motor City's must-try foods, from the ribs at Bert's Marketplace to New Palace Bakery's paczki. Pizza: Find arguably some of the best representatives of Detroit-style pizza on the Detroit Pizza Map alongside styles like the New York slices at Supino and the Neapolitans from Bigalora. Hot Dogs: Beyond its contribution to the world of pizza, Detroit's claim to fame is the Coney dog. You'll find some of the most iconic spots to eat one (preferably after a few drinks) on the Hot Dog Map with additional tube meat options like the waffle-encased hot dogs at UFO Factory or the bacon-wrapped Sonorans at Mexican street food-inspired restaurant, Imperial. Breakfast and Brunch: Start your day with a full stomach at one of Detroit's excellent breakfast destinations (chicken and waffles, anyone?) and for the weekend the metro area offers plenty of brunch spots to nurse hangovers with bottomless mimosas and bloody marys. Vegetarian and Vegan: While meat may have reigned in for a long stretch, Detroit's many farms and gardens are helping sprout a culinary movement towards more local produce and a greater appreciation for veggies on the plate. There are now a variety of restaurants both within Detroit proper and its surrounding metro area that serve vegetables with soul. Tacos: Not many people outside of Detroit think of the city as a hub for great Mexican food, but Southwest Detroit and a few pockets in metro Detroit deliver exemplary street-style tacos (among other items), found on the Taco Map. Burgers: Find both a Animal-style inspired burger and classic Americana sliders with grilled onions, on Detroit's burger guides. Detroit Food NeighborHoods To KnowDetroit is a massive city spanning 139 square miles — large enough to fit San Francisco, Manhattan, and Boston with its borders — and that's not even accounting for the metro area. Among these areas a number of neighborhoods and cities stand out for the density and quality of food options. Below, find a primer on some of the top destinations that food obsessives should know. Corktown:Located just west of downtown and north of the river, Corktown is Detroit's oldest existing neighborhood and could be described as a ground zero for the city's present restaurant boom. The area features a large swath of residential properties and relatively walkable commercial strips along Michigan Avenue, Trumbull, and Rosa Parks. Find here the ever-popular original Slows Bar-B-Q as well as Southern-inspired, pickle-brined fried chicken slinger Gold Cash Gold and brunch poutine favorite Brooklyn Street Local. Detroit essentials like Mudgie's Deli and Le Petit Zinc also call Corktown home. The neighborhood is also a popular spot for drinking, offering a mixture of cocktail destinations like The Sugar House, the unpretentious MotorCity Wine, beer hall Batch Brewing Company, and 50-plus-year-old icon like Nemo's Bar. One could easily spend a whole visit in here and never want for food. Midtown:Part of the story of Detroit's resurgence is gentrification and for better or worse the area known as "Midtown" often takes the brunt of that criticism. Part of it has to do with branding. The name is used as a catch-all by developers and newcomers to describe several distinct areas roughly north of downtown along Woodward Avenue including Cass Corridor, Milwaukee-Junction, the North End, Brush Park, and New Center. The area was one of first spaces to attract new wave Detroit businesses, especially surrounding the Detroit Institute of Arts and Wayne State University. The building of the QLine alongside the Red Wings arena area and Little Caesars compound dubbed "The District Detroit" has only fueled the expansion of new restaurants in the area, while others have suffered due to traffic-snarling construction. Despite these conflicts, the neighborhood delivers quality food and drink. Several worthwhile beer (and pizza) destinations — Obama-endorsed Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria and Brewery, Motor City Brewing Works, and 8 Degrees Plato Detroit — are located in Cass Corridor alongside one of the city's finest bakeshops, Avalon International Breads. New American food and progressive craft cocktails can be had at Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails and Brush Park's Grey Ghost. For classic fine dining visit Cuisine in New Center. For a chicken and waffles fix there's no better place than New Center Eatery. The area is also populated with plenty of dive bars such as the Bronx Bar, Jumbo's (3736 3rd Ave.), and Old Miami. Eastern Market:Located east of downtown is the food processing and retail hub known as Eastern Market. For more than 125 years this year-round collection of market sheds has hosted farms and food purveyors. Saturdays are the biggest days for Eastern Market, attracting thousands of visitors every weekend in search of fresh produce and food trucks. The main sheds are surrounded by numerous brick warehouse buildings filled with meat processors and retailers like the meaty Gratiot Central Market. With this bounty of fresh ingredients in reach and a regular stream of foot traffic more and more Detroit restaurants and bars have set up shop right in the market neighborhood. Those who venture in the Eastern Market can find old-school Italian food at one of Detroit's oldest establishments, Roma Cafe, alongside the more contemporary Italian at La Rondinella and its sister pizzeria Supino. For boutique French-influenced fare and a gorgeous art deco interior head to Antietam. Detroit City Distillery also slings cocktails featuring its signature whiskeys, gins, and vodka on Riopelle Street. Find towering burgers and their more manageable counterparts at Cutter's, a back alley dive bar and grill. And don't miss the intoxicating aromas of grilled ribs from Bert's Market Place. Southwest:A large Latin American community lives in Southwest Detroit, a group of smaller neighborhoods that stretches across the I-75 freeway toward Downriver. Some of the best Mexican and Central American cuisine in the city can be found here in restaurants and food trucks, alongside Prohibition-era bars, classic Italian, and Vietnamese pop-ups. In Mexicantown, find a hub of Americanized Mexican eateries, beloved Mexican bakeries like La Gloria, and newcomers like Our/Detroit Vodka and fish and chips restaurant, Huron Room. One of the best food trucks in the city, Detroit 75 Kitchen, is serving exceptional Mediterranean-inspired street food, just a few minutes away by car to Fort Street. Feast on tacos and grilled chicken at a local favorite Taqueria El Rey off West Vernor Highway or check out the Anthony Bourdain-approved Coney dogs and cheap breakfasts at Duly's Place. Some of Detroit's finest fried chicken can be found at Pollo Chapin. For Salvadoran — pupusas, massive plates of fried plantains, and more — food don't miss PupuserÃa y Restaurante Salvadoreño on Livernois. A great date-night pick is El Barzon, where the chef/owner expertly prepares both Mexican and Italian fare. Downtown:Home to several of the area's major sports teams, General Motors, and Quicken Loans, downtown is also where a large proportion of Detroit's newer guard dining establishments as well as old-school and independently owned operations beyond the Bedrock-cultivated Gilbertville. For starters, two of the city's biggest food-related tourist attractions — American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island — can be found here. Detroiters like to pick sides when it comes to which diner serves a better Coney dog. The Greektown area (mainly along Monroe Avenue) near the casino serve old-school Greek food from flaming cheese to gyros. The Golden Fleece is a particular late-night favorite and Firebird Tavern is a good bet for bar food. For a really tasty morning fried dough fix, grab a doughnut a Dilla's Delights in the Harmonie Park area of downtown. Capitol Park shops like Dessert Oasis and Urban Bean Co. will also keep you in caffeine. Spots like Parks & Rec off Grand River and Cass and Dime Store are great for brunch. During the warmer months check out the daily food trucks in Cadillac Square and then head across the street in the evening for a solid burger and beer at Checker Bar. Next door, cocktail fans can find an underground bar called The Keep slinging drinks in the evenings. Further up Woodward Avenue, Wright & Co. is serving small plates and excellent cocktails, and an extensive selection of beers, wines, and ciders. Definitely don't pass up the exceptional drinks at Standby and The Skip in the artsy Belt Alley. Hamtramck:An independent city surrounded by Detroit, Hamtramck is an old Polish community that's more recently welcomed immigrants from Bangladesh and Yemen. These changes have had a huge impact on the dining scene in Hamtramck, which now offers a variety of cuisines to choose from as well as great neighborhood bars and cafes. Stalwart Polish restaurants including Polish Village Cafe, Polonia, and Ivanhoe Cafe keep diners well-fed with pierogies, kielbasa, and dill pickle soup. Hamtramck bakeries like New Palace serve a Fat Tuesday favorite — paczki — along with cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats year round. While Southeast Asian cuisine isn't exactly abundant in Detroit, Hamtramck's Bangladeshi restaurants fill a void. Try an array of delicious meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes at places like Aladdin Sweets & Cafe or order a Bengali-inspired pie at Amar Pizza. Yemen Cafe is a favorite for Mediterranean alongside Royal Kabob on Caniff. Beyond its international offerings, diners can can find the original Buddy's Pizza still slinging squares on Conant Street as well as pop-up venues like Revolver and amazing artisan chocolates at Bon Bon Bon. Bars like Bumbo's keep customers in beer and shots, a good primer for a trip to late-night favorite Campau Tower. :format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7212063/shutterstock_215747974.0.jpg) Antique 1928 Ford Model A cars on display at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. [Photo: Steve Lagreca/Shutterstock.com] Dearborn:The largest Arab-American community in the United States resides in Dearborn. Arab immigrants have been coming to Michigan since the late 1800s, according to scholars at the Dearborn-based Arab American Museum. Some came to work at Ford factories, while others came during times of unrest in their home countries. Whatever the motivations, those communities have had an influence on the overall flavor of many foods in metro Detroit and help Dearborn standout as a special spot for food in metro Detroit. The city, which is located southwest of Detroit, is home to spots like Al-Ameer Restaurant, a popular Lebanese eatery that was named one of America's Classics by the James Beard Foundation in 2016. Plan on leaving with a very full stomach. The family-style maza meal is a must-try. Hamido is another Mediterranean favorite for takeout of big dine-in platters. Sheeba Restaurant offers Yemeni-style feasts and traditional dishes like lamb and potato fahsah served simmering tableside. Grab a lunch of roasted sausages, kafta, more at Dearborn Meat Market and save room for a sweets tour of formidable sweets oasis Shatila Bakery, New Yasmeen, and Lebon Sweets. A classic destination Miller's is also a good choice for burgers, while newer options like Brome Burgers & Shakes offer halal options. Other Places to Know:A hungry person could spend years doing a big dive into Detroit and the surrounding metro area. For those looking for further culinary adventures beyond the primary locations featured above, Here's a brief primer to a few other neighborhoods and cities of note: A neighborhood on the east side of Detroit, West Village features popular cafe The Red Hook, seasonally-inspired neighborhood restaurant Craft Work, veggie-friendly eatery Detroit Vegan Soul, and one of the best pie shops in the country, Sister Pie. The Avenue of Fashion, an area just south of Eight Mile, boasts several tasty spots worth the trip including Kuzzo's, an outstanding chicken and waffles restaurant. 1917 American Bistro serves tasty cajun catfish and offers a great patio. The strip also features a famous jazz club, Baker's Keyboard Lounge, which serves tasty fried chicken and hot cobbler a la mode for dessert. Consider picking up something sweet at Good Cakes and Bakes. More restaurants and bars are expected to be heading this way soon. Just northeast of The Avenue is Ferndale, a suburban city filled with hip restaurants, bars, cafes, and a growing number of breweries. For a night out consider visiting Local Kitchen & Bar, which beautiful, seasonal new American cuisine. Close by discover beer paradise with the brews at ever-popular gastropub One-Eyed Betty's. Fans of brunch will be right at home at Toast and The Fly Trap, while vegetarians can find plenty of choices at Om Cafe and GreenSpace Cafe. Some of the best still honeywine in the country is poured at Schramm's on Nine Mile and further to the southeast is another more casual mead favorite, B. Nektar. Don't forget to visit Public House or speakeasy-style cocktail bar The Oakland. As far as Asian cuisine goes Madison Heights is a good bet. This Detroit suburb offers a whole lot of Vietnamese dining options and a big market, 168 Asian Mart. Find some tasty Mexican food at Tienda Mexicana as well as a popular brunch spot, The Breakfast Club, in the city as well. Another Detroit suburb, Royal Oak has a somewhat bro-y reputation but there is good food to be had in the city. Ale Mary's boasts an extensive list of brews for beer geeks looking to try flights and O.W.L. diner on Woodward Avenue is a refreshing take on an updated Mexican-American diner. The Red Coat Tavern is a venerable British-American pub with a reputation for great burgers. For a finer modern French cuisine check out Bistro 82 or try the Spanish tapas at the whimsically-designed La Dulce. Many excellent, higher-end experiences can be had northern suburb of Birmingham. Tea fans will definitely find something to like at Eli Tea, a shop that develops its own blends. Commonwealth is also a favorite for coffee and brunch. Those looking for an Italian experience should consider visiting La Strada, a cafe serving traditional espresso, as well as lovingly prepared sandwiches and crepes. For finer dining Lebanese experience and some unexpectedly fantastic ribs go to Phoenicia on Old Woodward. Nearby, The Stand specializes in American nose-to-tail eating. You could, of course, go lowbrow and pick up a slider or two from Hunter House Hamburgers. Detroit Glossary of TermsConey Island:No not that Coney Island. When in Detroit, a "Coney" a term used to describe the many diners peppered throughout the city. They're often run by Eastern Europeans, though not exclusively, and as such commonly offer Greek salads, gyros, and lemon rice soup. The defining characteristic of any Coney Island, however, is that it serves Coney dogs — hot dogs served on a steamed, bun, with loose chili, chopped white onions, and mustard. Some of the best-known ones are downtown, but locals know that really any neighborhood greasy spoon — Detroit One, Duly's, Red Hots — will do the trick. Detroit Square:Some will wish to call this a "deep dish" pizza. They would be mistaken. It's a square or a Detroit-style, and while its thicker than many typical slices it's nothing like that trumped up pie they serve in Illinois. Buddy's Rendezvous originated the Detroit square, baking a spongy Sicilian-style dough in a rectangular blue-pan and layering it with toppings, brick cheese, finally sauce on top. The whole thing comes out hot with crispy caramelized cheese edges and yes you may eat it with a fork. Other locations have since picked up the recipe, developing their own special versions of the square and building friendly rivalries. Slider:Did Detroit invent the slider? Probably not, but restaurants around here do serve an awful lot of them. Old-school hamburger shacks like Telway and Hunter House serve up the classic greasy mini burgers cooked on a flat grill and often topped with caramelized onions. A bag of burgers will go for just a couple of bucks. For fancier versions, visit Green Dot Stables in Corktown. Hummer:The Motor City's gift to the boozy milkshake world, the recipe was originally developed at the Bayview Yacht Club but now graces menus at spots like Mercury Burger Bar. The recipe is simple: a little rum, a little Kahlua, some ice cubes, and vanilla ice cream. Blend and slurp blissfully through your straw. Boston Cooler:Another ice cream-based drink — though notably less alcoholic — the Boston Cooler is a Detroit-invented soda float featuring Vernor's Ginger Ale and scoops of vanilla ice cream. The Last Word:A few years ago a bartender in Seattle dug this recipe out of the archives and revived it. Historians believe this green Chartreuse-based cocktail may have been developed at the extremely exclusive Detroit Athletic Club, but you can get it all over town now thanks to the local craft cocktail movement. Limes, gin, green Chartreuse, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, Luxardo original Maraschino cherries are the basis for the herbaceous drink. Faygo:A local soda company, Faygo comes rainbow of flavors from Orange to Grape to Rock and Rye. It's Detroit-made status also means its a favorite ingredient among chefs looking to add a special touch to recipes including everything from ice cream to chicken wing glaze. Better Made:Another Detroit brand, Better Made specializes in snack and its chips are especially favored for adding crunch to dishes like fish and chips and sushi. Asian Corned Beef:There are a surprising number of corned beef egg rolls on Detroit menus these days but perhaps the best-known ones are served by a mini chain called Asian Corned Beef. With four outposts and counting, Asian Corned beef serves up these sinfully delicious fried meat and cheese mashups. The classic is similar to regular corned beef sandwich, but you can also get them stuffed with fillings like ground beef and hot peppers. Almond Boneless Chicken:You can find this dish elsewhere but its probably most popular at Chinese restaurants in metro Detroit. A Chinese-American invention, the almond boneless chicken meat is battered, fried, drizzled with a brown-colored gravy and then topped with sliced almonds and scallions because a little green makes it healthy right? Party Store:Perhaps more ubiquitous than gas stations are Michigan's liquor stores. Here they're more fun though, so we call them a party store. Reservations to Make in AdvanceA blossoming food scene and national attention have made Detroit restaurants exceptionally popular. On weekends and some evening, it's reasonable to expect a wait — particularly if its a recently opened establishment. Some places, unfortunately don't accept reservations or accept very limited reservations such as Selden Standard. Others will reserve space for walk-ins such as Mabel Gray, which keeps its bar open (definitely make a reservation here if your party is larger, you want the tasting menu, or you want to score a table). Grey Ghost in Brush Park is another for which reservations are highly recommended. Finally, if Hamtramck offers several regular pop-up dining venues — Revolver and Yemans Street. Tickets to these special dinners must be purchased online in advance. follow the NewsEater Detroit is updated multiple times every weekday with breaking news stories (restaurant openings, closings, etc.), maps, guides, and more.

| A surprise at Swain's, one of Morristown's longest-running businesses - Morristown Green Posted: 25 Jun 2019 09:13 AM PDT By Marion FillerA big yellow sign in the window of Swain's of Morristown, announcing the "Store Closing Sale" and 50 percent off its frames and artworks, marked this week's impending departure of one of the oldest businesses on South Street, a presence in Morristown since 1964. Well, not so fast.  Just before the moving van was scheduled to arrive on Monday afternoon, a last-minute arrangement between the 70 South Gallery and Swain's was pieced together by Dave Vokes, one of the owners at Swain's, and Ira L. Black, director of the gallery next door. "We look forward to announcing that we are integrating our businesses together," said Black. "It just makes sense." The idea of restoration and framing in one location will create a "one-stop shop," he added, acknowledging that Swain's reputation in the community for outstanding quality of frames is a win-win for both. Significant loose ends remain, but "I'm optimistic," said Vokes, who plans to be available at 70 South on a full-time basis once the transition is complete. A new name for the enterprise has not been chosen, and legalities are still to be considered, and the big question of a lease for the 70 South remains unresolved. Is there one? "We are working on it," said Black, who would not confirm or deny its existence. "But this is not meant to be a short-term solution. We are operating right now under the idea that we are going to be here for a very long time." Black has been searching for business partners since patron Ted Baldanzi, who started the photo gallery as a labor of love in 2014, decided to move on. The gallery managed to avert closure in February–Black has not kept details close to the vest.  Meanwhile, Swain's is being dismantled piece by piece. The framing equipment and samples are moving to 70 South, but all the artwork — lithographs, oils, maps, photographs, mirrors and lots of empty frames — will continue to be offered at bargain prices until the end of the week. Dave Vokes said the family reluctantly decided to close the shop rather than pay a rent increase and sign a longterm lease in the face of changing market conditions in the art business. Sally Vokes, who has been an integral part of the gallery with husband Tom and son Dave since 1979, plans to donate all unsold merchandise to Habitat for Humanity.  She recalled how Tom originally worked for Swain's Gallery in Plainfield when he was in high school, eventually opening satellites in White Plains and Pennsylvania, then came to Morristown in 1964 where he bought the business from Swain's but kept the name. The memories, however, are not for sale. "I'll miss the customers, so many wonderful people. We were never robbed, never had one thing stolen, and in all the years only had one bad check and that was before credit cards. It was just amazing."  |
| Judge grants execution warrant in 1992 Rapid City murder case - Rapid City Journal Posted: 25 Jun 2019 10:30 AM PDT Charles Rhines learned Tuesday that he is scheduled to be executed in early November, 27 years after he stabbed a former co-worker to death while burglarizing a Rapid City doughnut shop. "This step was one big one for justice for Donnivan," Peggy Schaeffer, mother of murder victim Donnivan Schaeffer, said outside the Rapid City courtroom where a judge granted Rhines' warrant of execution. "It's just time." Judge Robert Mandel granted the motion filed after listening to arguments by South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg and defense lawyer John Murphy of Rapid City. Peggy and her husband, Ed, filled the courtroom with friends and family, while Rhines appeared on a TV screen via a video feed from the state prison in Sioux Falls. A jury sentenced Rhines to die in 1993 after finding him guilty of premeditated first-degree murder for killing Schaeffer, a 22-year-old from Black Hawk. It's time to execute Rhines "for the sake of the family and for justice," Ravnsborg told Mandel during the hearing. Rhines "exhausted" all legal reasons — such as criminal appeals and petitions to the U.S. Supreme Court — that might prevent an execution once the high court rejected his case in April, Ravnsborg said, citing South Dakota Codified Law 23A-27A-31. Ravnsborg also noted that Rhines has been challenging his case five years longer than his victim, who he "brutally killed," was alive for. While the law allows a judge to issue the execution warrant, Murphy told Mandel it's "completely in your discretion" as to when you chose to do so. Murphy said it would be unfair to issue the warrant while Rhines has two open lawsuits. Rhines is challenging the state's execution drug protocol at the state court in Minnehaha County. He's also arguing in the federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals that his constitutional rights were violated when he was denied access to mental health experts his lawyers retained to help with his clemency petition. The federal appeals court is "obviously taking the actions very seriously" since it refused to expedite the hearing at Ravnsborg's request, Murphy said. Rhines' challenge of the execution protocol is a "fairly routine procedure" for people on death row, Ravnsborg said after the hearing. Rhines' federal appeals were first denied by a South Dakota judge and doctors have found Rhines mentally competent "numerous times" before, during and after the trial, Ravnsborg said. Mandel said he agreed with Murphy that he has discretion over when to issue the execution warrant, and he would delay issuing it — even after 27 years — if there was a reason to do so. But there is "no legal reason to postpone the execution," Mandel said in granting the warrant, which calls for Rhines to be executed between Nov. 3 and 9.

Peggy Schaeffer smiled and held a love one's hand after the announcement. Rhines, wearing a gray sweatshirt and sitting behind a desk in what appeared to be a classroom, appeared calm during the entire proceeding but looked slightly surprised after the warrant was granted. Mandel considered the arguments of both lawyers and numerous courts have upheld Rhines' sentence, Peggy said after the hearing. She said she doesn't regret Rhines being sentenced to death rather than life in prison without parole. Plus, it was the jury's decision, not hers, she said. "The judicial system does work if if you let it," Peggy said. Peggy said she feels her son "besides me all the time" and thinks about what her son would have accomplished if he was still alive. "I missed (having) a daughter-in-law, I missed grandchildren, my son misses his brother, my grandchildren miss an uncle and an aunt," she said. "There's always that hole, always that chair at the table that's never filled" during holidays so the family lights a candle and places a rose on the table in honor of Donnivan's memory, Peggy said. "And he is there, we know it." Rhines execution date and time will be chosen by the prison warden who then must notify the public at least 48 hours in advance, Ravnsborg said after the hearing. Murphy did not immediately return a message asking if he plans to challenge the warrant of execution. Rhines tried to appeal his case to the Supreme Court, but the high court declined to hear it. He argued his sentence is unconstitutional because jurors were homophobic and decided to sentence him to death rather than life in prison because they thought he would enjoy being in prison with other men. His lawyers said an original jury note and recent interviews with jurors show they were motivated by homophobia. Journal archives show jurors found multiple aggravating factors — killing for money, killing a witness to a crime and killing with a depraved mind — in the murder when only one is required for the death penalty. Jurors who spoke with the Journal at the time said they discussed the aggravating factors and if they felt the Rhines deserved the death penalty. One woman said she thought about the images of Schaeffer — who was stabbed in the stomach, back and skull — and how awful it was. Ravnsborg said the jury sentenced Rhines to death due to the "heinous nature" of the crime, not because they were homophobic, and that his homophobia argument didn't come until years after the trial.  |
