OPENING REMARKS

The young and the rich

Reader survey says print is anything but dead

When this publication began 27 years ago, there was lots of competition for readers’ time: The Dallas Morning News, of course, the Observer and lots of other newspapers and magazines clamored for attention and advertising support.

There were TV and radio stations, too, but most of us received most of our information from something we could hold in our hands.

One thing hasn’t changed over the years: We still receive most of our information from things we can hold in our hands — it just turns out our hands can hold a lot more today.

That’s why I thought, on the 27th anniversary of the very first Advocate, we’d take a trip back in time to compare our very first independent readership study with our most recent one to see how readers, and our publication, have changed over the years.

Since 1996, audits of our readership and distribution have been conducted every year or two by Circulation Verification Council, a St. Louis company that is the fastest-growing audit company in North America. These days, a national media association pays for the audits to ensure fair and impartial results.

When we started, readers between the ages of 24-45 made up about 49 percent of our readers. Today, they’re 43 percent of our market.

Notice anything interesting?

Roughly the same percentage of young people read this printed magazine today as did 22 years ago. Even with all the digital competition these days, and despite plenty of print naysayers, younger people still read the printed publication.

Something else to consider: 62 percent of our readers say they keep our magazine in their homes one month or longer — in 1996, that number was about 40 percent. That means nestled among the digital devices sitting in neighborhood homes, an Advocate likely is lying nearby, too.

Here’s one thing that has changed over the years: Our readers’ household incomes have skyrocketed. Today, 52 percent of our readers earn more than $100,000 annually (31 percent earn more than $150,000). In 1996, only 7 percent of readers earned more than $100,000.

And take a look at the homes advertised in this month’s annual Top Realtors/Home Design edition. It goes without saying that home prices keep rising, thanks in large part to the way our neighbors have worked together to build community spirit.

One brave real estate agent promoted her business in our first magazine. Today, lots of agents advertise with us in print and on our website. In fact, our websites have nearly three times as many monthly page views (500,000+) as our magazines have readers (180,000+). And those numbers don’t include our 500,000+ engagement on social media. Altogether, that’s monthly engagement of more than one million of you.

Like all of our neighborhood promotional partners, the real estate agents in this issue believe our readers — their neighbors — want to spend their money with neighborhood businesspeople because neighbors helping neighbors generally works to everyone’s advantage.

Bringing neighbors together has been our mission since that first issue, and it remains our mission today. Thanks to technology, we have lots of ways in print and online to bring even more neighbors together now.

To recap: The bulk of our readers are young, relatively wealthy, keep the magazine in their homes for more than a month and go out of their way to spend their money with neighborhood businesspeople. Do you sense a sales pitch in here somewhere?

REFEREE AWARD HONORS AUSTIN SILVA

Soccer-loving teen remembered for his positivity on the field

By EMILY CHARRIER

Those who knew Austin Silva tend to describe him with the same word: Polite. The teen’s kindness and professionalism made him a favorite referee at the Lake Highlands Soccer Association during the four years he worked there.

“He was one of the young men you wish were your own kid because he was always so polite,” says John Gossett, who has been a part of the LHSA since his eldest daughter, now 30, was a young player. “He was just a really good kid. So

good with the younger players.”

Silva also was an accomplished tennis player at Lake Highlands High School and had solid dance moves as a member of the Wildcat Wranglers.

Last summer, he went in for a routine surgery to remove his wisdom teeth. But he didn’t wake up.

For nine days, his school and church rallied around the family, hoping he would recover. When it became clear the cardiac arrest was too severe, his parents, David and Suzanne Silva, made

plans to donate his organs and save the lives of others.

“The nature of Austin’s brain injury has ended up being so severe that recovery is simply not possible, and we expect him to pass away imminently. While we have been ready for a miracle, God’s plan has seemed to direct us elsewhere. No one should ever have to write these words, and they are even harder to accept, but that is where we are,” they wrote in a statement at the time.

The soccer association looked for a

way to honor its fallen member. With more than 2,000 players, it employs about 105 referees every year, about 80 of whom are teenagers like Silva.

“They use it as a moneymaker. A lot of them play soccer,” Gossett explains. “We’re always looking for more kid referees.”

Every April, the association reviews the work of these young referees, looking for those who inspire players, conduct themselves with grace under pressure and serve as good stewards of the program. Nominations are made, from which the board elects the Female Referee of the Year and the Male Referee of the Year.

“It’s mostly to let them know what a good job they’re doing,” Gossett says. “But we do give the winners $100.”

The winning names also are submitted to the North Texas Soccer Association, which presents its own Referee of the Year award. Last year, the LHSA renamed one of those honors the Lake Highlands Austin Silva Young Male Referee of the Year, honoring the teen who embodied what the award was all about. It will be presented for the first time this month under the new name, to another kid who doubles as a role model on the field.

Gossett says referees must be certified, a process that includes eight hours of classroom training followed by a test. But it can open doors, he says. “When you’re certified, you can work anywhere in Texas,” he adds. “I had guys start in high school, and they do it through college to make money.”

The association is wrapping up its spring season but will be back in September, when Silva’s brother, Charlie, will be on the field as a referee.

ALL LAUGHS LEAD TO EL ARROYO

Lake Highlands native is the reigning king of marquee comedy

By ELISSA CHUDWIN | Photos courtesy of EL ARROYO

El Arroyo’s Tex-Mex cuisine comes with a mixture of comedy, absurdity and an occasional dash of controversy — all served daily on a parking lot sign.

If it’s on the internet, it’s probably appeared on the Austin staple’s marquee and vice versa. The restaurant has cleverly crafted thousands of messages since the early 1990s.

More than 150,000 people follow El Arroyo on social media. The signs have spurred quarrels among British vegans, transformed into a wedding photo des-

tination and circulated websites like Reddit, who once accused El Arroyo of stealing their jokes.

El Arroyo may be an Austin institution, but its owner Ellis Winstanley is a Lake Highlands native who grew up near Merriman Park Elementary.

“It’s kind of a world of its own,” he says. “It doesn’t feel like it’s part of Dallas. It feels like its own town called Lake Highlands.”

Winstanley — who moved to Austin as a college student — compiled the

restaurant’s favorites into the book “El Arroyo’s Big Book of Signs.” It not only sold out, but thousands also were placed on back order.

“You think a couple people will get a kick out of it, and then it just takes off and is the real deal,” Winstanley says.

Winstanley bought El Arroyo from Clay McPhail, who started the marquee tradition. They closed the deal in a hospital cafeteria while Winstanley’s wife, Paige, pregnant

with twins, was on bed rest.

“Maybe having twins and buying a restaurant wasn’t the best idea,” he says.

The severe loss of sleep didn’t interrupt Winstanley’s creativity. He and a team collaborate to create the comical phrases and puns.

“If you look at what’s going on in the world, there’s no shortage of ridiculous things to talk about,” he says.

Winstanley is adamant that the signs are nonpartisan. El Arroyo pokes fun at everyone equally, he says, hence one of his personal favorites: “Sorry to anyone we haven’t offended. Be patient. We’ll get to you shortly.”

Oddly enough, the political signs aren’t what have caused the most ruckus. El Arroyo used a joke found on Reddit, and the company retaliated. The website photoshopped the restau rant’s sign to read, “El Arroyo steals unimaginative jokes from Reddit.”

Users, though, defended the eatery with quips such as, “El Arroyo appears on Reddit more than Reddit appears on El Arroyo.”

Perhaps the most controversial joke was “Dear vegans, if you are trying to save the animals, stop eating their food.” A man living in England found it anything but amusing and accused the restaurant of being insensitive.

“It ended up in a battle royale,” Winstanley says. “We watched our Facebook rating go up and down all day as these people are arguing about this stuff.”

The obscure internet wars, however bizarre, showcase the popularity of the signs worldwide. People from Denmark to New Zealand comment regularly, and Winstanley’s team is putting together the book’s second edition.

“It’s a funny sign in front of a restaurant,” he says. “You don’t think it’s going to turn into something like this.”

Don’t put off enjoying that new kitchen you’ve always wanted. Bella Vista’s design and construction teams will ensure you get the layout, cabinets, countertops and other features to make yours more functional for cooking and fun for entertaining. From kitchens to bathrooms to cabanas, a Bella Vista renovation makes your home dreamy.

OH! HOW DOES OUR GARDEN GROW

Lake Highlands Community Garden celebrates 10 years with a party and butterfly release

By CHRISTINA HUGHES

Photo by DANNY FULGENCIO

The swath of soil situated on 2.27 acres of City of Dallas land was sectioned into a grid of plots. Municipal leaders agreed to let Lake Highlands resident and Dallas master gardener A.L. Nickerson turn part of the former Texas National Guard Armory training ground on Goforth Drive into the first citysponsored community garden, where residents would procure squares of earth to harvest, or learn to grow, organic vegetables.

Nickerson had the idea long before it materialized in 2008, but he was unsure the concept would take root in our neighborhood.

It did. Local individuals and families registered for existing spaces, and then Nickerson and his crew created a waiting list, which promptly filled with future gardeners. April marks its 10-year birthday, and there is plenty to celebrate.

Today, the property, once easily overlooked, is a flora-flooded common that includes a bee sanctuary, herb garden, a rain garden of native Texas plants, a demonstration garden and a butterfly garden.

The largest parcel of dirt is dedicated to the donation garden, a 2,000-square-foot space for reaping organic produce donated to organizations that feed Dallas’ hungry

residents. Volunteers — plot holders as well as other community members — maintain this portion, gardener Robert Gross has told the Advocate. The donation garden serves not only as a place for volunteers to learn more about gardening, but also as a source of food, augmenting efforts of many local charity organizations.

The Community Gardens of Lake Highlands, as new signage reads, plans to venerate its anniversary with a bountiful butterfly release April 8. “Could be the biggest green celebration in Dallas history,” organizers say.

SOUTHERN COMFORT

Fish City Grill wants to be everyone’s favorite seafood joint

GIVING BACK

In the economic downturn following 9/11, Bill Bayne and his wife, Lovett, watched restaurants around them shutter, although their establishments thrived. As a way to thank patrons for their support, Fish City Grill began donating 15 percent of its proceeds to a local charity on the first Tuesday of every month. “This was our way of putting money where our mouth is,” Bayne says. Feed Lake Highlands and Pamper Lake Highlands already have been recipients in our neighborhood. This April, proceeds go toward For the Love of the Lake.

Some of Bill Bayne’s favorite memories center on the restaurant industry.

He met his wife, Lovett, when he was general manager and she was a waitress at Nate’s Seafood. Trips with his family revolved around sharing meals at eateries in Baytown, near Houston. Bayne was introduced to the business at age 5, when his best friend’s parents owned their own restaurant.

“I discovered a magical machine where you pull a lever and all sorts of soda came out,” he says. “I turned 18, and I discovered a magical machine where you pull the lever and all sorts of beer came out. I’ve been in the business ever since.”

Forces of nature

Single-family homes are blooming all over Lake Highlands, like subdivisions of soaring sunflowers. Within older neighborhoods known for daintier houses, the latest builds loom large, often looking down on bordering constructs. But hiding behind lofty stalks of bamboo or fat tree trunks and several decades’ accumulation of verdure endure true architectural jewels.

By CHRISTINA HUGHES

Photos by DANNY FULGENCIO

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, an architectural duo started designing houses that strayed from the White Rock area’s familiar dwellings. Lyle Rowley and Jack Wilson named their contemporary company Ju-Nel, a nod to their wives Julie and Nelda. Deviation from the cookie-cutter colonial types throughout the neighborhood would not be easy. Procuring loans for unprecedented projects was tough, Rowley told the Advocate in 2006. “We had a devil of a time,” he said.

Finding land on which to build was simpler. Most builders of the day looked for

Foliage, looming oaks and natural terrain provided a canvas for Ju-Nel’s innovative homes

flat lots that could be leveled for another “cracker box,” as Rowley described the status quo.

Ju-Nel artists wanted slopes and bold, thick and aesthetically appealing natural surroundings — creeks, woods, chirping birds, wildflowers.

Drivers or joggers along Guildhall, an undulating street west of Ferndale, two miles north of White Rock Lake, are not apt to notice Brooke and Christian Berger’s home. Its magnificence comes into focus from the walkway as visitors wind past herbaceous borders, mature oaks and bamboo stalks to a side entrance.

The Bergers moved to Dallas from San Francisco and befriended the home’s owners, with whom they attended church. “If you ever sell this house, we want it,” Brooke told the couple, and she meant it.

Last May, Brooke, Christian and three little Bergers moved in.

Devotion to design and integrating nature are the ideals that steered the Ju-Nel style. That and smashing the “cookie-cutter” mold Rowley described. This meant architectural elements like low-pitched roofing, often meant to accommodate tree overhangs, and vaulted ceilings. Windows

Asian screens and two-way fireplaces are Ju-Nel staples. A pull-down map covers a flat TV. The tiny marble kitchen is perfect, Brooke says. Art that honors the family religion, plus shelves of vintage toys reveal the Bergers’ blend of nostalgia, wit and reverence.

replaced walls and followed the roofline, maximizing sunlight and outdoor views. Classic smooth wood, whitewashed brick interiors, two-way fireplaces, Japanese screens and modern lighting fixtures are Ju-Nel signatures that remain today in the Bergers’ home.

In a corner of the living area hangs a stark white Louis Poulsen signature lamp, a touch installed during some stage of construction. Christian doesn’t like it. He wants to get rid of it, Brooke says, smiling wide at her husband’s ridiculous suggestion.

Just inside the door is a small kids’ play area with one full wall of family photos. A rainbow-colored rug runs atop a hardwood floor, beneath a tiny table. Brooke loves rainbows — the colors and the prism itself. The home’s hues are white, greys, ecru and natural wood with pops of yellow and orange. But rainbow love appears in sundry places, typically in child-occupied spaces.

A mostly white kitchen, with doors that close on both sides, is diminutive by today’s standards, but Brooke says, “If it was good enough for a 1960s homemaker, it’s good enough for me.”

She sure doesn’t mind shutting off the kitchen at times — whether to hide dirty dishes or for a moment of isolation, she says.

Clerestory windows just beneath the ceiling allow for ventilation, light and a sense of connection to the remaining floor plan.

Previous owners installed steel appliances and marble backdrops, tile and a center island. Otherwise the cooking space is humble, quaint, wistful. Décor is minimal. A circular arrangement of flattened pennies, collected from travels, texturize one white wall. A brief hall, home to a piano and violin (instrument

of eldest son, Frederick) connects the dining area. Here the eye is drawn to the two-way, white brick fireplace. Whitewashed firewood occupies the inside. A cow skull is suspended over the fireplace, and Brooke makes everyone laugh when she talks of acquiring it with help from an enthusiastic friend.

“I mentioned wanting one while we were in Santa Fe, and she says, ‘Hang on, I got a skull guy!’ ”

On the opposite side of the fireplace, the living area is all light, greenery and a wall of bamboo. These things are outdoors, of course, but the floor to ceiling windows make them part of the home. Minimalist accoutrements include a soft-leather chair from Room and Board. A tiny art piece sits atop a skinny wooden table. The artist? Oliver Berger, 6. Above hangs a massive map of the world. Gorgeous greens, blues and earth-

tones hide a piece of equipment Brooke mischievously reveals: a slightly smaller-than-the-map flat screen TV. Aha, this family does not rely entirely on books (arranged on shelves throughout the home in, no joke, colors-of-the-rainbow order) for entertainment.

Reprieve from daylight occurs downstairs, under the ground-level floor, where the bedrooms and bathrooms live. Colorful children’s rooms offset all the earthy, gentle coloring upstairs. The boys’ big bedroom could be a Wes Anderson movie set. Twin beds, one aside a wall and window, the other a foot from a glass sliding-door closet, sit with rainbow upholstered ottomans at the foot of each. Pillows embroidered with F and O, respectively, are near the vintage bookshelf-drawer combo. The arrangement is symmetrical enough to satisfy the most obsessive-compulsive sensibilities.

Baby Louisa’s room is peacefully, predictably pink with a vintage smooth-wood changing table.

The master bedroom is spacious and features a sentimental Wilco poster. “We love Wilco, went to see them together,” Brooke says of the band. Tons of family photos hang, rest on skinny shelves or hide in de-digitized picture books.

The backyard pool is set far from the home. In all, the family lives on three-quarters of an acre. Bamboo fills the empty spaces. It is a fast-growing plant in late winter. “I have to cut them almost every day,” Brooke says.

This woman loves her home and cares deeply for it. She likes sharing it with friends and guests, which is why she agreed to place it on the Lake Highlands Early Childhood PTA home tour. That way, anyone with a ticket can walk through this timeless house that so impeccably blends the old and modern, as well as form and function.

As a wife, mother and General Contractor, Ashley Rader understands what it takes to create a space that works for your family. Whether it is an open floor plan, new kitchen, extra bathroom, or an addition, Rader Renovations will find the solution that works best for you and your family.

Bamboo grows like crazy during certain seasons, offering natural privacy for sunbathers and swimmers. A previous owner installed a pool and other water fixtures in the expansive backyard.

The tour, which extends to the Garland border this year, includes a vintage build with an indoor pool. There is a 1954-constructed beauty by one of Dallas’ most famous architects, E.G. Hamilton, as well as a 1955 Niles Resch on a hillside.

More recently crafted constructs include a home designed around a large lap pool and made with mostly recycled materials and an environmentally harmonious home built based on the sun’s rotation.

Tickets are $15. For more information, go to whiterockhometour.com

Dream+Inspire+Design Home Tour, April 7, is the befitting name of the Lake Highlands Area Early Childhood PTA Home Tour. Five homes complete the circuit. The $35 ticket includes brunch buffet, open mimosa bar, silent auction preview and a morning at the Arboretum. All proceeds benefit the nonprofit whose aim is to enhance the lives of children and equip area adults with helpful parenting tools.

KNOCKING OUT CRIME

The boxing gym that’s helping kids and halting drug deals

Story by ELISSA CHUDWIN | Photos by DANNY FULGENCIO

Glen Delgado is exhausted after three minutes in the ring. Joshua Jenkins, a 17-yearold Olympic hopeful, won’t let him slack. Wearing a body protector, Jenkins is Delgado’s target. His twin brother Jordan, also nationally ranked, leans against the ropes to watch them practice.

Completely out of breath, Delgado kneels over at the end of the round. Those few minutes in the ring feel like he just sprinted to the finish line of a 5k.

“I got him in the corner,” Joshua says.

A chorus of “uh-ohs” echo through the gym. Delgado can’t help but laugh. He and officer Allison Brockford

the DART bus stop and establishing a violent crimes task force and North Lake Highlands Public-Improvement District.

About two years ago, Andy Acord, former police chief of the Northeast Division, had another idea: launching a boxing gym.

“At that time, I was just looking for any opportunity we had for recreational activity,” City Councilman Adam McGough says. “We didn’t have any park land, any libraries or cultural center in the immediate area, so I knew it’d have to be something creative.”

Finding funding for the project would take a landlord willing rent

the space at an affordable price, cooperation among several entities and a “small miracle” or two, McGough told the Advocate in 2016.

A California property owner agreed to rent the 5,000-square-foot space for a nominal fee. The Apartment Association of Greater Dallas offered to help back the gym, which opened in October 2017.

Dallas Police Athletic League and the Park and Recreation Department manage the facility’s day-to-day operations. As soon as it opened, Brockford and Delgado pulled teens roaming the neighborhood into the gym.

“Here’s paperwork,” they said. “If you sign it, you can box with a police officer.”

Roughly 35 neighborhood children spend four hours at the gym after school to learn the fundamentals of boxing. Yoga, TRX, dinner and field trips also are included in the program. Coaches shout instructions over the sound of buzzers blaring, weights clanking and kids punching bags.

Manager Rafael Arredondo wants to keep the kids smiling — just not when they’re sparring.

Stop in to see the Saffire Grill.

“If they’re not here participating, it won’t change. This is a perfect opportunity to make that improvement.”

“What I’ve learned is when people have fun and are laughing, they learn quicker,” he says.

Besides 25 years with the Park and Recreation Department, Arredondo’s resume features stints as a gang interventionist and multi-sport coach. He mans the gym’s front desk and doles out paperwork to newcomers, who stop in daily asking to participate.

“It’s going to take people in this neighborhood to invest in the youth in it,” he says. “If they’re not here participating, it won’t change. This is a perfect opportunity to make that improvement.”

Several coaches are neighborhood volunteers who undergo a strict vetting process. Emergency room nurse Mayra Zavala grew up in Forest-Audelia and was a student at an alternative school when she was introduced to boxing. Now an emergency room nurse at Parkland Hospital, Zavala volunteers at the gym.

“I honestly think if I did not have boxing, I would not have made it through school,” she says.

Another coach, a refugee who fled Afghanistan, led that country’s Olympic boxing team until the Taliban discovered he was assisting U.S. troops. They threatened to harm his family, so they fled, eventually landing in Lake Highlands. Although he’s new to Texas, he leads some of the group’s most challenging workouts.

Jordan and Joshua Jenkins — both ranked top 10 in the nation — train for elite competitions at the gym. They mentor the other boxers, even awarding their peers with their own championship belts after the amateur Golden Gloves competition.

“We know we gotta be role models and watch what we say,” Joshua says.

Isabella Martinez was one of the boxers who received a belt from the twins. She is a shy 10-year-old, except when she’s competing. She smiles and immediately says, “yes,” when asked if she’s better than the boys.

Leaving the gym at 8 p.m. to do homework is tiring, but it’s worth it to Martinez.

“If you come and do it every day, you won’t be at home being lazy or running the streets,” she says.

The once-winning Wildcat basketball team is looking for a comeback

By KYLE KLEMME I Photo by RASY RAN

THE LAKE HIGHLANDS High School boys basketball ended the 2017-2018 season with 13 wins and 17 losses, but there are signs of progress. The team has a new leader who is focused on rebuilding the once powerhouse team.

Head coach Joe Duffield, who’s in his second year leading the Wildcats, has got his eye on making playoff runs in the future with his tenets of “play fast, play great defense and play unselfish.”

“I see this program being one of the top basketball programs in the state,” Duffield says.

Duffield isn’t new to Lake Highlands. He previously served as assistant coach who helped lead the team to the district championships in both basketball and football.

“I think my time as an assistant has definitely helped me in understanding our school, our feeder system, and understanding what makes the Lake Highlands community so

special,” he says.

Duffield left Dallas to serve as the assistant coach at Vista Ridge High School in Austin, where he helped lead that school to playoff runs in 2011 and 2013. But, ultimately, he was called back to our neighborhood.

“Our family loves living in the Lake Highlands community. Lake Highlands truly has a tight-knit community that almost feels like a small town, but with the benefits of being in a big city,” he says. “We love the diverse student population, and no other place I’ve worked has had the type of tradition and loyal support that you find in Lake Highlands.”

“I see this program being one of the top basketball programs in the state.”

ALTHOUGH SHE didn’t spend much of her life in Lake Highlands, having grown up in Illinois, Sandra Lynch was a member of the first class to graduate from Lake Highlands High School. She was a leader then and remained a trailblazer her entire career, all the way from a Wildcat to the United States Court of Appeals.

Three things to know:

1 She was a hyper-involved Wildcat, back when she went by Sandy Lynch. She was the editor of The Fang, the campus newspaper, and she was a member of Student Council, the Pan American Student Forum, the Creative Writing Club and the National Honor Society. She lettered in tennis, and she was a National Merit Scholarship finalist.

2 She was the first woman ever appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. President Bill Clinton nominated Lynch in 1995 after her predecessor, Stephen Breyer, was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

3

She set a legal precedent by ruling that trading drugs for guns amounted to using a firearm in the trafficking of illicit substances, a criminal violation. — Emily Charrier

RISD STRIKES BACK

Richardson ISD board of trustees is disputing a lawsuit that claims its atlarge electoral system promotes inequality. District administrators and trustees recently filed a legal response denying that it perpetuates a system that favors white, affluent students.

Former trustee David Tyson Jr. — the only minority to ever serve on the board — filed the lawsuit, which claims the “perpetually monolithic board” exacerbates a performance gap between affluent and low-income students. Currently, people who live anywhere in the district can run for any of the seven seats on the board. Tyson claims that this system hinders minority candidates, violates the Voting Rights Act and “leads to limited representation of, and ultimately, to indifference to, the interests of the non-white community in RISD.”

The trustees’ rebuttal denies “any assertions or suggestions that the District’s Board of Trustees do not make decisions concerning the allocation of the District’s resources in a manner that benefits all students equally.” The response includes 76 such denials and states Tyson is not entitled to “any and all relief requested in his complaint.”

The district seeks to resolve the lawsuit as quickly as possible, RISD spokesman Chris Moore told the Advocate.

Moore acknowledges that RISD’s demographics have changed, and says the lawsuit was filed around the time the district had shifted its focus to lowperforming campuses.

He cites the new Accelerating Campus Excellence (ACE) program, modeled after Dallas and Fort Worth, that will be implemented at Carolyn Bukhair Elementary, Forest Lane Academy, RISD Academy and Thurgood Marshall Elementary. The programs extend school hours and coincide with a reconstitution process in which current staff will reapply for their positions, Moore said.

The ACE program also will provide students with three meals and additional after-school opportunities.

“The longer they’re with us, the more we can teach them beyond the classroom,” Moore said. — Elissa Chudwin

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW

The Store at Lake Highlands celebrated its sweet 16 with a canned food drive for the nonprofit Feed Lake Highlands. Cheryl Calvin opened the establishment in 2002 at Northlake Shopping Center. “It was the March after 9/11, and we opened because the community wanted small businesses to open,” Calvin told the Advocate in 2016. “I had experience in my mom’s store in Salado and had friends that encouraged me to open a store. Even after 14 years, we have people that come in every day that have never been in The Store and have ‘lived in Lake Highlands forever.’”

The long-anticipated Alamo Drafthouse finally opened at Creekside Shopping Center near Skillman and Abrams this March. Bar and event space Vetted Well is pouring craft beers inside the theater, which features eight screens, reclining chairs and laser projection systems. A bike park already exists between the trail and the theater, but DFW Alamo’s Jordan Michael aims to work with city officials to improve trail access.

TACOS GALORE

Fuzzy’s Tacos, also located at Creekside Shopping Center, launched in March. The taco shop hopes its outdoor patio and walk-up bar entices neighborhood customers.

Fuzzy’s isn’t the only local taco shop staking claim to the neighborhood. Taco Joint is slated to open its fifth metroplex location at Lake Ridge Village. The restaurant will occupy the space that once belonged to Urban Thrift.

TRAGEDY HITS HOME

A Lake Highlands native was killed in mid-March when a helicopter crashed into New York City’s East River Sunday evening. Trevor Cadigan, a Bishop Lynch alum was among four other passengers who died after a helicopter crashed and then flipped upside down under water. Passengers were on a private charter helicopter and on their way to a photo shoot. Cadigan Southern Methodist University in 2015 with a degree in journalism. The former WFAA intern had recently moved to New York City to be a video journalist at Business Insider.

NOTABLE NEIGHBORS

Merton Hanks was inducted into the Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame. The Lake Highlands High School graduate played for the San Francisco 49ers and was a member of the team that won Super Bowl XXIX in 1994. He retired in 1999 — one year after joining the Seattle Seahawks. He’s not the only neighbor who recently has been recognized. After 35 years with the Dallas Police Department, Lake Highlands resident David Burroughs was honored at an SMU basketball game for his career as a patrol sergeant. And the National Football Foundation named Lake Highlands High School senior Luca Gisellu to an elite list of local scholar athletes. Gisellu is the only Wildcat who made this year’s list.

Spring’s joyful hope

Springtime in the Northern Hemisphere coincides with the Christian celebration of Easter. We experience the transition from winter to spring, whether the moveable feast of Easter is early (late March) or late (late April) one year to the next. Death gives way to life, barren ground to budding trees.

Before the event that gave rise to the celebration — the resurrection of Jesus from the dead — the world had millennia to observe the truths of nature. Nature spoke the word of God before the Word of God became flesh or the words of holy men (presumably all men) became the Word of God, the Bible. Even the Bible says so: The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. The earth speaks, too.

Jesus himself used a farming metaphor to tip us off to what was coming: Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Jesus understood the nature of nature. Everything that lives dies. We all get that part, but the big unanswered question of human existence is whether everything that dies will live again.

Christian claims of life after death derive primarily from the shocking experience of the early church in watching Jesus die on a cross and three days later finding not only an empty tomb but also a resurrected Christ. What was always true of nature was also shown now to be true of one human being.

Sadly, we often treat the resurrection of Jesus from the dead as a one-off event that happened to the Son of God, rather than a tour de force that carries us with it. What God did in and for Jesus, however, was a sign of what God has always been doing for all creation and will always be

doing for all creatures. Resurrection is built into everything.

What does belief have to do with it? Believing in the resurrection of Jesus and putting faith in him as the Son of God doesn’t make something happen for the believer that wouldn’t happen otherwise; it transforms the way we live in the world now as people of living hope in a world dominated by death.

When test pilot Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier for the first time, space travel became possible. It always was possible, but now we could imagine it and live into that new future, exploring the expanse of space up close. In like manner, the barrier of death has been breached in Christ’s resurrection.

Easter Sunday will bring out bonnets and bunnies, little girls in white dresses and flower crosses. The deeper truth that those things symbolize is that God is at work raising all things to new life. Justice will be done, peace will prevail, love will win, grief will give way to joy, enemies will be reconciled, and hope will not be disappointed.

Christianity proclaims a universal hope that the universe itself is brimming with hope.

Be proactive in home maintenance and stay ahead of issues

Spring has sprung, daylight savings time has passed. That means it’s time to get your house ready for the warmer weather. Here are some tips to guide you through the process.

1) Check your gutters and downspouts. Make sure they are clear and clean so spring rains don’t cause flooding.

2) Get a good look at your roof. Make sure your shingles are in good shape and none are missing.

3) Check the trim around your window and doors. Peeling paint means the wood can rot.

4) Make that call to the air conditioning company. It’s time to have it serviced.

5) Service the lawn equipment. Getting a tune up will help you have an enjoyable lawn season. Now you’re ready to enjoy the change of seasons.

An environmental art installation and music complete the Earth Day celebration.

Mandela Foundation Art

During EarthX , an African Landscape exhibition is to be erected. Through the generous donation from the collection of Ndaba Mandela as chairman of the Africa Rising Foundation, it shall include the artwork of Elaine Mató (referred to as Mató as an artist and designer). Mató is a South African artist who is known for her work on the African Cycad and the mythology of her work surrounding The Rain Queen Modjadji. Mató explains that all her work is “based on humanity’s impact on the Earth and the survival of ‘roots’” - a homage to EarthX’s purpose and initiatives. Mató’s most beautiful tribute to the African Cycad, a tree which has survived since prehistoric times and represent the sustainability of life, is shown here as a dedicated piece alongside the other donated works.

The works will be available for purchase through auction. 50% of the proceeds will go to EarthX and 50% will go to Africa Rising Foundation.
