TEX-MEXPANSION

WHAT’S UP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES

The owners of The Lot have a new project at White Rock Center on Buckner, called El Vecino. The restaurant will be classic Tex-Mex, and will lean on the owner’s experience as part of the family that ran El Fenix. Le Caveau Vinoteque, a bou-

tique wine shop, will join the Tex-Mex restaurant in the shopping center, and will cater to “well-informed oenophiles,” owners have said, as an antidote for the big box spirits stores.

EYESORE CLEAN-UP DELAYED

The property that once housed Hearthwood condominiums is an eyesore along Abrams approaching Richland College, and is a visible reminder of a fatal fire. Nearby neighbors say it attracts trespassers, who have cut holes in the surrounding security fence and taken up residence in the crumbling, burned-out structures that remain. Owners say that there are plans for 750 luxury apartments in a high-rise building, but that a legal matter has held up development.

MAVS FOUNDATION MEETS KIDS-U

The children of Kids-U at Jackson/Park Ninety Six 90 Branch Apartments in the Forest-Audelia area recently were thrilled upon the unveiling of a learning center, where they were greeted by Dallas Maverick Devin Harris. The Mavs Foundation, the NBA’s nonprofit arm, made the remodel possible. Kids-U is an afterschool initiative embedded in several Dallas apartment communities where families and working parents tend to reside. Lake Highlands is home to seven of 10 Kids-U sites. Lake Highlands resident Diana Baker co-founded the nonprofit in 2002. The Mavs Foundation remodeled and filled the reading room with computers, games, puzzles and books. Mavs jerseys and motivational art adorn the walls. Harris placed his XL handprint at the top of a tree mural up front, autographed the wall, then lifted child after child so each could make his or her own mark.

New School Leadership

Lake Highlands High School has its fifth principal in 10 years, when Dr. Joshua Delich joined the school from Fort Worth’s Polytechnic High School. Delich, who originally is from Minnesota, has spent time as a teacher, coach and middle school principal in Fort Worth before taking the helm at Polytechnic.

Carrie Breedlove will be the new principal at Lake Highlands Junior High. Breedlove comes from Wylie ISD, where she spent the last two years as assistant principal for McMillan Junior High. She has worked in education for 24 years.

Lake Tragedy

On a gusty day at White Rock Lake, Conrad Calliocoatte lost his life after his boat capsized. Callicoatte and another boater were treading water and waiting for a rescue boat when he stopped moving and went under. He was not wearing a life jacket at the time. Callicoatte’s body was recovered from the lake while the other boater was rescued unharmed.

HEARTBREAK AT LAKE HIGHLANDS HIGH

In a tragedy that brought the community together, rising senior Austin Silva passed away after going into cardiac arrest during a routine wisdom tooth surgery. The community circled around the family with support and prayers, and the heartbroken parents shared their thanks for the care shown to them. The young man’s organs were donated to those in need.

Happy Trails

There will be two extensions of the Lake Highlands Trail — one on the east end of the trail to Skillman and the other north toward Lake Highlands Town Center — will move forward. The new trail will add a pedestrian walkway from Lake Highlands High along White Rock Trail connecting to Watercrest Park Trail, providing safer routes for Lake Highlands students on their way to and from school.
