LOVE IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS

COUPLE WEDS IN PASTOR’S YARD

DARCI WITTE and DARREN SHULTZ planned an April 5 wedding with flowers, bridesmaids and a reception for friends and family. Each round of restrictions brought on by the coronavirus outbreak forced adjustments to their plans as they sought to keep loved ones safe. Finally, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins instituted a shelter-in-place order, and the happy couple made a tough decision. They called Northwest Bible Church Senior Pastor Neil Tomba and asked him to conduct their wedding ceremony in the front yard of his Lake Highlands home. The couple had also booked a relaxing trip to Destin, which they plan to take when COVID-19 dies down. Both have homes in Lake Highlands, and they’ll honeymoon here until then.

GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY

n The Exchange Club of Lake Highlands had to postpone its spring benefit concert featuring Jason Boland and the Stragglers due to COVID-19, but its board gathered via Zoom videoconference to do something almost as enjoyable: approve the money they’ll disperse to nonprofits and Lake Highlands students. For the first time in 25 years, there’ll be no scholarship awards breakfast and presentation, but the ECLH will deliver $150,000 in college scholarships to hardworking students.

n An anonymous donor sent Fletcher’s corny dogs to police officers. Amber Fletcher, part of the third generation of Dallas’ venerated corny dog family, arrived with the Fletcher’s food truck and enough mustard for every officer in the station house. “My cousin is a police officer, and that’s just what my dad wanted,” Fletcher says. “The law enforcement presence at the State Fair is what keeps us safe. We wanted to show gratitude and give officers something good to eat.”

Good neighbor

As CC Young restricted visitation access to protect its residents from the coronavirus, family and friends got creative to show love for those inside. They planted encouraging yard signs, pinwheels, streamers and more in the median across the street. “Be happy Grammy and Poppy,” read the signs. “Hi Mom” and “Hi Dad.”

RESCUE HER

How an LHHS alumna’s passion for football led to a crusade for advocating against human trafficking 

12 lakehighlands.advocatemag.com may 2020
Interview by MARISSA ALVARADO | Photography by DANNY FULGENCIO

Laura Leigh Majernick fell in love with football while helping at Lake Highlands High School Wildcat football games. A 1991 LHHS graduate, she received her bachelors from the University of Texas and began blogging and podcasting about college football. Once she learned about the sexual assaults at Baylor University, she published a book, “Interference.” After finding out about the link between sex trafficking and sports as a blogger for NFL Female, she began volunteering with Rescue Her, a nonprofit that fights human trafficking. Majernick lives in Old Lake Highlands with husband, Jay, who is a percussion instructor at Bishop Lynch High School, and sons John, 12, and Noah, 9.

Could you explain the work you do with Rescue Her?

I am a volunteer. I’m a mentor so I’ve had a trafficking survivor as a mentee for almost a year. We would meet on Mondays for a support group meeting called “Empowerment Night.” It’s a chance to learn some coping and social skills and talk to people who are trying to get out of trafficking. It’s a time to share concerns. I also check in during the week. Right now, we’re meeting on Zoom.

How did your love for sports lead you to advocacy?

I am a lifelong Dallas girl, so I followed football ever since I could remember. When I was talking about the Super Bowl on NFL Female, I noticed the statistic for trafficking during Super Bowl weekend. I started learning more and I realized it’s happening all the time in every city. I don’t do sports anymore, but it led me to the trafficking cause so I’m grateful. I joke that football changed my life even though I’ve never played it. It was God’s way of getting me in touch with my passion project.

Why is there so much trafficking during Super Bowl weekend?

You have so many people coming to the host city to spend money. In a city like Dallas, there’s already a big strip club industry. It’s a lucrative weekend and there’s a lot of alcohol involved. People also go online to find workers for the weekend.

When you worked on NFL Female, were there not as many women in the sports field? This was probably about 2014, and it was fun to have a women-only fan site to write for. At that time, it was tough to get credentials and establish yourself. I was a stay-at-home mom. This was my hobby, something to do while the kids were asleep. When I started podcasting, I met a producer on Twitter and he was looking for female football fans to cover college. I would do it on Saturday nights after most of the games had been played. That was where I learned about what happened at Baylor.

Is the book “Interference” about the assaults that happened at Baylor?

Yes. I write about it primarily in the context of a Christian school versus a secular school. I was disappointed that the faith base at the school didn’t help the victims more. It was emotional. There were times I would just have to take a break. I also got to know some of the survivors. I have pride in them for rebuilding their lives despite their trauma.

How much trafficking and sexual violence is in Dallas?

We’re a hub for it. One of my first outreaches involved going on Harry Hines and talking to women and praying for them if they wanted to be prayed for. We gave them perfume or make-up samples with the phone number for the trafficking hotline. Too often we think of sex trafficking as something that happens in Asia or Europe. It happens here too. It’s just more subtle.

What do you want people to know about volunteering to help women who have been trafficked?

It’s an intense commitment, but there are other ways you can be involved such as learning the facts and being a speaker or sharing statistics on social media. For parents, watch your child’s online intake because that’s a place where it can slither into your life. People pose to be kids.

How has this experience changed you?

It’s amazing how much my faith has grown, but it’s also a burden. You wish you could do more. Addiction is almost always involved. In some cases, there’s abuse from the past. Staying sober was probably my mentee’s biggest goal and that’s hard. She was 19 and had started doing drugs at 13, when she started being trafficked. I grew up in Lake Highlands when it was almost like a fairy tale. It’s hard for us to comprehend how damaged people can be right here in our city.

TO LAKE HIGHLANDS

Every neighborhood has its personality and sense of place, but like all great loves, this one is unique, special, unforgettable. We can point to specific highlights — White Rock Lake, Flag Pole Hill, our schools, restaurants — as these letters do. As we face the coronavirus together, it’s a comfort to hear from our community. To live in Lake Highlands is to love Lake Highlands.

MARISSA

Dear Lake Highlands, Sixteen years ago, a small group of women formed the Lake Highland’s Junior Women’s League, a social organization focused on the beautification of our sweet neighborhood. You welcomed us with open arms and have always supported us. We have loved contributing to this community and seeing you and your families playing at Flag Pole Hill, reading in the children’s area of the Audelia Road Library and splashing around at the Rec Center Splash Pad. We can’t wait to enjoy these fun times with your families again.

We love that your compassion and flexibility allow groups like ours to partner with organizations like Imagine Dallas, Inc. and Café Momentum to feed food insecure families in our district during these uncertain times. This community rallies behind its own, and that has never been more apparent than now, when we see a rush to support your friends and neighbors in their time of need. We are lucky to be a part of this wonderful community and love the support you always show each other.

Dear Lake Highlands,

It started when I moved here in 2007. I heard from friends about this “little town in a big city” that truly was “the best community in Dallas.” People would tell me, “Lake Highlands is different.” I was always amazed at the number of people who grew up here that couldn’t wait to come back.

It’s times like this that prove all the rumors and sayings are true. There really is nowhere like Lake Highlands. And it is different because of the people. It is different because of you.

During this unprecedented time, I have been overwhelmed by the number of people that truly care about those living within the community. I have seen food delivered to those who have been hit hard by this pandemic. I have heard the prayers of those who honestly want to know how to support the people living near them. I have watched the generous donations from many wonderful nonprofits that serve LH. I have witnessed churches innovating new ways to love their neighbor during this time.

I thought I was proud of our community before all of this happened but seeing how my neighbors have stepped up during this time of crisis takes my community pride to a new level.

Thank you Lake Highlands. Thank you for truly loving your neighbor. Thank you for being more than just talk. Thank you for showing me in a tangible way why this really is the best community in Dallas. Relationships change lives,

Dear Lake Highlands,

You are happy hills, trees deep with roots of stories and a lovely lake full of life. You are the barns and peacocks that delight us for ages. Your sunrises over Flag Pole Hill are spectacular. You deliver amazing specks of spectacular color across a blue dancing, domestic lake. You are easy to love and a refreshing experience each and every day.

You are the heartfelt business owners, the community of giving back, the place to wave at neighbors, the home of the Wildcat and the phrase “Ride with Pride.” You are a cultivator of Pride that encapsulates a sense of family in a small community. You create generations of lovable long-lasting memories. Lake Highlands, you are loved. Thank you for creating such a defined location full of the best neighbors, people, business owners and landscape.

Ride with Pride Lake Highlands. You have been built perfectly.

Dear Lake Highlands,

What an outstanding 28year run we have had. I’d like to thank you for the amazing memories that you’ve given me, from Friday night lights at The Boneyard and symphony concerts on Flag Pole Hill to tree lighting ceremonies at Christmas. Those memories and knowing what a wonderful upbringing we had in Lake Highlands brought many of my friends and I right back here after college. As Michael O’Hern, my beloved Lake Highlands High School choir director, taught me, “My heart is in the highlands.”

Lake Highlands is more than just a place on the map. We are a community built on school spirit, friendly neighbors, supporting local businesses and taking care of each other. It’s date night at a local restaurant where you run into your favorite high school teacher, your best friend’s parents and some of your former students all in the same night. It is centered around a thriving school district that supports thousands of students and hundreds of teachers, including myself.

I’m in my sixth year as an educator in Lake Highlands and am so thankful for our close-knit community and support system. I have seen firsthand how the community rallies around a need in our schools when the call goes out. I experienced that myself as a student who journeyed from White Rock Elementary, Lake Highlands High School and now as

a teacher in the district. We are fortunate to be able to support our students, whether it is buying Wildcat Cards or hanging up a Wildcat Wrangler poster in a storefront.

During this difficult time, there have been reminders of what makes this community incredible. I’ve seen birthday parades, front-yard dance parties, beautiful sidewalk chalk art and neighbors offering to run errands and help each other. The entire community continued to recognize the importance of supporting one another, sharing resources and volunteering time and services to help neighbors. The sense of comradery and togetherness was highlighted and made me even more thankful to be a part of this community.

As my husband and I begin talking about our next steps, we look forward to buying a home and starting a family here. I would be lying if I said I didn’t have dreams of my future children following in my Highlandette and Espree footsteps. I am so grateful for every opportunity that I had growing up in this community.

With love and appreciation,

TEXTURES: GETTY IMAGES. PORTRAITS: DANNY FULGENCIO.

Dear Lake Highlands, I could tell you how much I love to see us rally together to make sure that all of our neighbors are fed through ministries such as Feed Lake Highlands, Healing Hands Ministry and Pamper Lake Highlands. I could expound on the many ways that we support our children and youth through ministries such as Forerunner Mentoring and the Exchange Club. I could rave about love that the Lake Highlands Women’s League, 100 Women of Lake Highlands, Lake Highlands Junior Women’s League and many others share in financially supporting the ministries of our community. All of these expressions of love within our community are an amazing testimony to the people and character of Lake Highlands. None of these ministries happen by accident, however. These expressions of love overflow from

a deeper place of faith. In the words of John, “We love, because [God] first loved us.” (I John 4: 19).

For Christians, this love looks like Jesus, who cared for the sick, fed the hungry, and even died on a cross out of love for the world. The love that we share with one another happens because we have first experienced God’s love for ourselves.

My prayer for our community in this uncertain time is for every person to know and accept God’s love into their lives. May this love overflow into our relationships with one another, so that Lake Highlands begins to look even more like heaven.

Lake Highlands United Methodist Church, Senior Pastor

Dear Lake Highlands,

I love being your neighbor. I am blessed to be a part of you since January 1964. Certainly, many changes have taken place throughout the past 55 years. For example, Kingsley added lanes, a light at Fieldcrest and took on a new name. But here is something that has not changed at all — the love that flows so strongly in and through the people. The spirit of belonging is here — of taking care of one another — of supporting and encouraging each other.

The teachers in our schools and churches are amazing. They are working so hard to stay in touch with their students and kids to encourage them to learn using technology and new methods. The teachers inspired the team members of EPIC, the after-school club of Feed Lake Highlands. Following the example of the teachers, these leaders are calling, emailing and texting the club children to check in with them regularly. A video is uploaded each Tuesday and Thursday for the children to hear a Bible verse and a word of encouragement from their leader. Keep it going strong!

Neighbors are helping strangers. I heard a story about Karen, who made a cake for Allison’s friend Kelley’s son’s birthday. Karen didn’t know Kelley, but Mitchell, Kelley’s son, had eaten some of Karen’s famous cake once before and asked his mom to get that cake for his birthday. So, Allison connected the two women, and Karen made and delivered the cake. She was determined to focus on others during the pandemic and wouldn’t take money. It was her anniversary and it brought her joy to be a part of the celebration of these two special days. Kelley, also focused on others, made a donation to a local nonprofit where Karen serves. Neighbors become friends and help lots of people out through their acts of service and love.

I love living here. Lake Highlands, keep loving your neighbors well.

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD

THE LAKE HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1970 CELEBRATES ITS 50TH REUNION WITH THESE MEMORIES

THE 1970 CLASS OF LAKE HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL reunion has been delayed until Oct. 24 due to the coronavirus, but alumni are still celebrating. Here are their memories.

I t was the mid-1960s when life seemed to begin, and childhood was over. Weekend parties once a month became part of our teen years. We were too young to date but not too young to gather and play Twister, cards or Spin the Bottle. In the summer, swim parties were the best. In the fall, we had football games and the Christmas dance. Those times at Lake Highlands Junior High were filled with innocence. We visited each other’s churches and youth groups. We picnicked at Flag Pole Hill and swam at McCree Pool. We grew up during polio, the Cuban Missile Crisis, sheltering under our desks and the assassination of President Kennedy. Then there was the Beatles, folk music, the Rolling Stones and “Louie Louie,” reported to be filled with obscenities. We continued growing up with strict dress codes, the Vietnam War, bomb threats and the draft. We also made forever friends and fell in love and married. New families grew up in Lake Highlands and watched their children graduate. We did.

I have so many happy memories of LHHS, from the honor of being selected twice for the Texas All-State Choir to the thrill of hosting my first boy/girl birthday party. My best memory though, was meeting my future husband, Mike, from the class of 1969. We met my sophomore year, had our first date in January 1970 and went to senior prom in May. After attending Texas Tech, we were married in December 1973 and will celebrate our 47th anniversary this year. We have two adult sons, plus what we call “bonus daughters,” and we were blessed to become first time grandparents almost a year ago. Last fall, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Wildcat stadium. A small group of us attended, representing the band, choir, drill team, cheerleaders and bell boys. Although we had different interests in high school, there are no cliques now. We’re just a bunch of old folks who care about each other.

After winning the 3A State Basketball championship in 1967-1968 and a mediocre 1968-1969 season, LHHS needed to get back to our winning ways. We started the 1969-1970 season with a 10-9 pre-district record. But once the district started LHHS took off, averaging 81 points per game. We set a scoring record, visiting Denison and defeating them 130-65. Andre Tillman had 65 points that night. Our archrivals, Richardson, defeated us in our sellout gym 65-60. But needing to beat them in their gym and force a playoff game was a tough task. We were down 10 points at halftime then came back to win 88-78. This was the first time any varsity team had ever beaten Richardson in any sport. Our playoff game was scheduled at Loos Field House. In front of a packed crowd, LH defeated Richardson 73-64 to win a district title. LH lost to RL Turner 75-60 in the state playoff. The varsity basketball team was fortunate to continue the rich LHHS tradition.

In 2000, the movie “Remember the Titans” was released, which depicted the story of the integration of the 1971 football team at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, led by its African-American coach, Herman Boone, who was portrayed in the movie by Denzel Washington.

Unknown to the producers of this film, this same story was played out two years earlier when the Lake Highlands High School Wildcat football team was integrated in 1969 by the Hamilton Park High School football team. What were two really good high school football teams became one really great team. (Ronnie Lewis was the lone African-American student at LHHS who played on the football team prior to 1969 and was affectionately known to his teammates as “Lightning.”) The “Remember the Wildcats” story could have been made into a movie with an LHHS class of ’70 setting.

During the spring of 1969, Hamilton Park High School football players were bused to LHHS to go through spring training with their new Wildcat teammates. They forged the bond that any athletic team must have to be successful, and that bond remains intact today. The Bobcat-Wildcat merger was successful. At the first pep rally with the newly integrated student body, one of the new Bobcat-to-Wildcat football players, Daryl “Chief” Walton, brought the house down while performing his James Brown dance moves during a song played by the Wildcat Marching Band.

David Grinsfelder, head of the reunion planning committee, was on the varsity basketball team which defeated Richardson and captured a distric title.

With its new-found “soul,” the team launched the season. At that time, only the district champion team advanced to the state playoffs, and the Cats were faced with a must-win situation against Richardson High School in the final game of the season at Wildcat Stadium. Although the Cats lost that night, a new legacy of strength through diversity was born. In 1981, LHHS experienced its only undefeated and state championship football season in the school’s history. Remember the Wildcats!

Last fall, the class of ‘70 was invited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Wildcat Stadium.
“Although we had different interests in high school, there are no cliques now.”

F or one of our home football games in the fall of 1969, we began working on a special “trick” play. For those games, the team walked through the parking lot around the north end of the stadium and entered on the west side. As we came through the gate, I saw Dan Pritchett to my left under the stadium with his camera in hand. I called him over and told him that the first time we had a good field position, he should be in the end zone. Then one of the coaches yelled at me for not concentrating on the game. Sure enough, we started near mid-field, and on first down, we ran the double-reverse flea-flicker play, and it worked. Don Jarma hit a wide-open Doug Geldert down the middle for a touchdown. Dan was in the end zone and got a great head-on picture of Doug just after he caught the ball. It was one of the best football pictures we had all year. Several times during the rest of the season, Dan asked me if I had any suggestions for him.

The first wing of the new LHHS was built in 1964-65 and our class had seventh grade there. There was no gym, so we mostly had PE in a classroom. Prior to that, the junior and senior high grades had been housed in the now Junior High. When our class moved back for eighth grade, the senior high class moved into the new high school, which was not yet completed. Construction took years and in the interim, our class learned to drive and could roam the neighborhood. One day, Adrienne Jamieson White, Zoe Ann Zelios Homeyer, Debbie Gillen Peveto and I went to the construction site and posed for a few pictures all around the building. After our photo shoot, we went across the street to play tennis on the newly construction courts at White Rock Trail and Church, where later would be the new pool and eventually the rec center. The Lake Highlands community was definitely in a growth spurt.

My family moved to Lake Highlands when I was 5. I attended Lake Highlands Elementary, played ball in the streets, caught tadpoles in the creek where Lake Highlands Methodist built a parking lot. My class was lucky. In third grade all the upper classes were moved to Wallace. Our class ruled the school in fourth, fifth and sixth. Junior high was unique. It was the first time that three elementary schools came together for seventh grade. There wasn’t room for us at the junior high building. Our seventh-grade class attended the unfinished LHHS.

Students in my class from elementary school were the upperclassmen four years in a row, so my memories are strongest with those friends and teachers. There was the time I was decorating the goal post — standing on my car so we could reach the crossbar — just two cars on the field so how did I hit Sonny Morgan’s car?

I loved my high school experience and that is why I chose to raise my five children in the area and now have eight grandchildren here.

WORSHIP

Living spiritually, but virtually

Among the most frequently used words during this coronavirus crisis that will linger in our vocabulary is “virtual.”

During the last month, Jews celebrated Passover, Christians Holy Week and Easter, and Muslims Ramadan (still going on until May 23). We had virtual Seders and sermons and studies. We Zoomed and FaceTimed and Facebook Lived — all virtually.

Religious life is spiritual, although sometimes people talk about being spiritual and not religious. We are learning during this time of social distancing, though, that virtual community is only virtually communal. It gestures toward it, but it never completes it.

Faith in its fullest form is embodied. Waving at each other on a computer screen or blowing kisses into an iPhone leaves us with greater longing for the real thing. It’s something, but it’s something that makes us want the real thing.

Notwithstanding the necessary physical separation of this time, there are things worth celebrating. Church has left the building, so to speak. That is, if we have drifted over time into thinking the church and its buildings are the same thing, we are now recovering the sense of peoplehood that makes church church. I mean that in the same way for Jews and Muslims. Jews require 10 people — a minyan — to form the necessary sanctity for certain public prayers. The Muslim concept of Ummah signifies the sense of a community that is united by faith rather than nation, geography or culture.

Faith leaders have been teaching in times of weal that the true altar of worship, where we bring offerings acceptable to God, is in the world. These altars are found wherever the poor and vulnerable are deprived of full participation in God’s creation. In these times of woe, it’s beautiful to see this truth sinking in. We are witnessing uncommon common efforts to tenderly tend to “the least of these,” as Jesus called his needy brothers and sisters.

Thanks-Giving Square has organized a “Serving Up Gratitude” initiative to bring

meals to first responders in healthcare, as well as to other essential workers. The Communities Foundation of Texas organized COVID-19 response programs and a North Texas Cares fund to provide grants to nonprofits on the front lines of coronavirus service. My family joined others in a neighborhood drive to collect cans of food in front porch containers for the Wilkinson Center, as their supply from the North Texas Food Bank is depleted due to the extreme need.

You can’t simulate or stimulate the spiritual life without risking relationship. We were made in the image and likeness of a God whose nature is love. We are therefore most real, our truest selves, when we are caring for one another up close and personal.

While observing the required 6 feet of separation nowadays, we are learning more about the six degrees of separation between all human beings that proves our universal relatedness.

When this scourge passes, my prayer is that these virtual relationships will lead us deeper into real community with one another.
