THE WORD

Before Election Day, Lake Highlands High School principal Kerri Jones sent an email to parents highlighting the strength of diverse opinions. She urged the LHHS community to come together regardless of the outcome. “We are part of the same school, in the same community, in the same state and in the same country,” Jones said.

NORTH HAVEN GARDENS REOPENS

Spacious buildings and improved parking greet visitors at the redesigned and reimagined neighborhood facility

up

Visitors to the brand-new North Haven Gardens won’t be disappointed. The local landmark since 1951 is a shiny gem in the neighborhood’s crown, reimagined and rebuilt in style after the tornado of 2019.

“We are transitioning not only to new buildings, but also to the third generation of family members at the helm,” says Cody Hoya, North Haven Gardens general manager. “Pamela and Aaron Pinkus will now be leading the company in the same way that Jon and Lillian took over from founders Ralph and Muriel Pinkus.”

Arriving guests will find front-entry landscaping with improved seating and a welcoming water feature. Additional parking, including more ADA-compliant spots, has also been added, Hoya says.

“The number one thing customers will appreciate is the absence of slope and vastly improved accessibility factor. Before, shopping carts frequently rolled away from guests.”

The new garden store has moved to the property’s west side. With multiple ramps, a water feature and a black infinity-blast coating the store’s high ceilings, shoppers can enjoy a tranquil view of the nursery.

“Unique to Texas garden centers is our bulb

cooler,” Hoya says. “It’s where we store tulip and flowering bulbs that require pre-chilling until the right time to plant.”

Expansive east-facing windows overlook the nursery from the new tropical greenhouse. Rigid, smokey quartzcolored walls and high ceilings offer a savvy design touch.

The refashioned café opening in the spring will feature a generous kitchen with indoor and patio dining. The same building will house Ralph & Rose, a home décor and gift boutique overseen by Pamela Pinkus; a special events and meeting space, and new administrative offices for designers, buyers and event coordinators. A multi-use artificial turf area is being developed for classes, events and a children’s play area.

“We are developing future plans for innovative use of remaining space in the back of the property,” Hoya says. “The future is very bright at NHG.”

A NEW TAKE ON CHRISTMAS

Caroline Cobb releases, dedicates third album to Advent season 

Interview by ELIZABETH UCLÉS | Photography courtesy of HOGANSON MEDIA

Lake Highlands resident Caroline Cobb’s new Christmas album focuses on the joy and longing of Advent rather than typical holiday covers. She released her third album “A Seed, A Sunrise: Advent to Christmas Songs” on Nov. 20. Recorded live in February, the singer-songwriter says she hopes the album’s message of restoration offers healing and comfort following a tumultuous year. While Cobb spent most of her years in Houston and California, she has been living in Lake Highlands the last four years.

What is your favorite memory of the neighborhood?

Just my street. It’s become one of our favorite places to kind of hang out, just in somebody’s front yard. During the coronavirus and the quarantine, we all just got really close [in] our little block of people. There are people in different stages of life: people with kids, people without kids. But we’ve become this little family on our street.

How did you get started in music?

It’s actually kind of a funny story. I went on a date with a guy, and he had written a song and he played it for me. In my mind, I thought, ‘That’s pretty cool. I think maybe I could try to do that.’ It didn’t work out with this guy, but that kind of spurred me on to try to write a song. From that point on, I just wrote all the time. It was a way for me to process and a way for me to make connections. I decided to start calling myself a singer-songwriter. I made this goal to write a song for every book of the Bible in a year right before I turned 30. That whole year of writing led me to playing more concerts, which led me to want to give someone an album that they could listen to.

What is your songwriting process from the Bible like?

When I was a junior in high school and right around when I started playing music, that’s when I also became a Christian. I pretty quickly loved to study the Bible and understand how different things connected with each other and how there are shadows and prototypes of Jesus in the Old Testament that come to fruition in the New Testament. When I sit down to write, I love to dive in and put myself in the position of someone that’s asking a journalistic kind of question: Who? What? When? Where? Why? What’s the context here? And then seeing it as an artist, too: How would this feel if I were this person? Or what if I wrote it from this perspective? Or what’s an image that can make this come home for a modern listener, rather than someone back in Jesus’ day? What chord progression would communicate the emotion of this passage? It sounds really linear, but it’s obviously not. It’s much more mysterious than that. Some songs come all at once, and some songs are really wrestling matches.

Why create a Christmas album?

I had put out two albums that told this big story that were panoramic, from creation all the way to Christ’s return. I wanted to focus in on Jesus and on Earth and on our longing for him. This album is definitely not your typical Christmas album, Bing Crosby, covering Christmas carols. It’s got a lot more longing in it. It’s got some groaning and ache in it, which I think is part of Advent when we’re looking forward to Jesus coming back and making things right and making broken things whole. It also has a lot of joy, kind of in the same way that after the darkness of a long night, the dawn is so much brighter and more beautiful when you recognize the night was so dark.

What was the inspiration behind the single “Comfort, Oh Comfort”?

I wrote it for a friend that took a lot of comfort from these passages in Isaiah that talk about gardens blooming out of wilderness and beautiful images of rivers streaming in the desert. She had these places that she described as scorched and dry in her life. She loved those images about how God could restore even the places you feel like are barren and wastelands. I wrote this for her, and then I started singing it because I really liked the song and felt like it could be powerful for other people. As I sang it, I realized there’s some places in my life that feel scorched and dry, if you will, that feel like confusing or feeling grief. It kind of struck me in the middle of singing it one night at a concert in California that this song was also for me, that those promises of restoration were also for me. It’s become such a tender song for me, but also to sing over other people because a lot of people have hard things that have happened in their lives or there’s places that they feel lost and unsure of what God is doing.

What do you hope listeners gain from this album?

I feel it’s been wave upon wave of things between racial injustice and this noisy presidential election and the public discourse right now and just the division we’re feeling. Plus, of course, the pandemic, which has been so hard on so many people. I think this album gives voice to both this hope that we need, this hope that there can be restoration, and also it gives voice to this idea of lament. This is not how it’s supposed to be. There’s a passage in Revelation that says when he returns, death will be no more. He will wipe every tear from our eyes. And that’s the hope of Advent, his return. My prayer for this album is that it would be this balm for people that have that hope and also be able to give them the opportunity to voice their grief because sometimes we put on Christmas this happy, warm, fuzzy thing. And that’s going to feel a little bit dissonant this year. That’s not going to feel quite right. I think a true picture of Christmas is both this hope and this longing.

This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

RISD TEACHER SEARCHES FOR KIDNEY DONOR AFTER OVERCOMING CANCER

transferred to UT Southwestern and started oral chemo.

“By Valentine’s Day of 2019, I was in remission, but back on dialysis,” Schultz says. “I never took off from work, continued to teach full time and became a single mom during that time.”

In 2016, she felt like something was off.

“A few days after Christmas I went to the emergency room because I was noticing my legs were kind of swollen and I felt bad,” Schultz says. “They told me that I was showing signs of kidney failure, but they weren’t sure why.”

After running blood work, the doctors found cancer. A couple days later, Schultz was told it was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It took a few days to diagnose because it was a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma they hadn’t seen before. The cancer was forming a protein, which deposited into Schultz’s kidneys, causing the failure.

Schultz started dialysis and chemo shots every couple of weeks. The treatment wasn’t successful, so Schultz

Schultz trained to do in-home dialysis with the help of her parents and a nurse.

“I have to stick myself with needles to do dialysis, hook up to my machine and learn how to set the machine up to run it,” she says. “I had to learn what to do if emergencies happen, if blood spills, so it’s a big deal.”

Schultz does four-hour treatments four days a week from her dialysis machine, which she named Lurlene after her great-grandmother. It’s fitting because she would tell her to “get on and get it done.”

“I try to squeeze in homework with my kids while I’m on treatment, just trying to do the best I can,” she says. “I applied for my kidney transplant before, but once you’ve

Shauwna Shultz’s children Brandon, left, and Shelby, right, have been some of her biggest supporters.

SHAUNA SCHULTZ enters her 14th year as a teacher in Richardson ISD. She taught at White Rock Elementary for six years and transferred to Lake Highlands Elementary in 2013 when her son Brandon was in the child development center.

had cancer, they want you in remission a good two to five years depending on your type of cancer.”

Schultz applied again after her two-year mark.

“The kidney board accepted my application and has put me on the official UNOS list,” she says. “They are right now testing some people that have applied to be living donors for me.”

Through these tribulations, Schultz says family and community are what kept her strong.

“When I was diagnosed, the community just kind of rallied,” she says. “We’ve had T-shirts. I came to school one day and the whole school was decorated in purple and lime green. The amount of support that I’ve gotten from my school, my staff, teammates, family and friends has kept my attitude positive, but my biggest reason for living is my kids.”

Brandon is a sixth-grader at Lake Highlands Elementary, and Shelby is a thirdgrader. When Schultz was diagnosed, they wanted to attend her chemo shots. When the dialysis machine was first installed at their home, Brandon wanted to learn how to help. Now, younger sister Shelby wants to learn also.

“I don’t want to see mommy hurting. I don’t want to lose mommy. I don’t want something to happen to my mom. It’s a lot on them too,” Schultz says.

As a high-risk person recovering from cancer, Schultz is a full-time virtual teacher at LHE.

“Parents have been unbelievably supportive,” she says. “A lot of them know me because I’ve been here so long I’ve taught siblings. They know my story, and they’ve asked how they can help.”

Her best friends, Kristina and Tom Crain, are her guardian angels. They took her kids for play dates during treatments and pray for her constantly.

“They have been with me every step of the way,” she says. “Tom applied to be a kidney donor, they cry with me, bring me dinner, hang out with me and have been the best friends a girl could ask for.”

“I don’t want to see mommy hurting, I don’t want to lose mommy,’ is their thing. ‘I don’t want something to happen to my mom.’ So, it’s a lot on them, too.”

A NEW NOODLE

LIKE MOST 20-YEAR-OLDS, Andrew Chen and his friends wanted to open a bar. They realized any venture would need a food component to gain traction.

“It’s me, one of my cousins and a good buddy that spent time in Asia, so we have all these really fun memories of Chinese street food,” Chen says. “Being able to take something, walk and eat at the same time.”

Dallas doesn’t typically lend itself to pedestrian walking culture, so they decided to open a restaurant in Deep Ellum where they could create the street food experience.

“Street food is also easy to carry out, so it’s stuff that can travel well,” Chen says. “Stuff that you can heat up the next day and it tastes even better.”

Chen and his partners stuck to a very small, distinct menu of noodles. They created Monkey King Noodle Company, and Deep Ellum wayfarers quickly embraced the eatery.

“I think without their support, we obviously would have failed a long time ago,” he says.

When COVID-19 hit, Monkey King Noodle Company’s food model made it easy for the restaurant to adapt to takeout only. As restaurants slowly reopened, Chen and his partners expanded to

Lake Highlands.

A PANDEMIC

A friend in real estate mentioned a burger stand looking to get out of its lease. Chen, almost jokingly, said that if his friend found other backers, he would be in.

“Lake Highlands, being so close knit and tightly knit, he found a couple of other people, and we were able to gather what we needed,” Chen says. “We got this thing signed in July.”

The restaurateur realized a lot of the large orders through Uber Eats and Caviar ended up in the family oriented neighborhoods.

Chen is the chief noodle maker and cooks everything from scratch. Customer favorites include the spicy garlic peanut noodles with woktoasted peanuts, garlic, house chili oil and hints of sesame and soy. It’s served chilled over noodles with fresh cilantro and green onions.

The authentic pork dumplings are house-made, hand-rolled wrappers with pork, napa cabbage and a savory garlic chive filling served with Taiwanese soy sauce.

“We love it if people come eat with us, have a beer, hang out,” Chen says.

Holiday mashup

To better understand our neighbors, why don’t we walk in their shoes this season?

With the election season behind us (if not settled) and having woken from Thanksgiving tryptophan naps (if not from racial injustice), it’s high time to turn to upcoming holidays for inspiration and hope.

Christmas is the obvious candidate for reflection because I am a Christian preacher and get to write this column, and the majority of our readers share my religion. But let’s turn instead to the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah, which this year spans Dec. 10-18 — eight days of menorah candle lighting, dreidel spinning and latke eating.

We should do so whether we are Jewish or not because understanding the religious holidays of our neighbors will make us better strangers. Learning the meaning of others’ religions allows us to further the American ideal of religious pluralism and liberty. It’s also a mirror that helpfully reveals what is common and different in the faith traditions that have shaped our nation.

Hanukkah, also spelled Chanukah, traditionally, is the Festival of Lights commemorating the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem by the Maccabees after their surprising victory over the occupying Greek empire and its local despot, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, in 165 B.C.E. Antiochus banned Jewish rituals and practices, and he desecrated the temple by sacrificing pigs to the god Zeus on the altar, thus violating everything holy about Jewish identity and worship.

When the liberators re-entered the temple, they found enough pure olive oil to burn the lamp for one day, but miraculously, the oil lasted eight days. As freedom of Jewish worship was restored, no mourning was permitted during this period. Only joy and celebration fit the

mood for what God had done in bringing enduring light into their darkness.

Hanukkah is not a Jewish alternative to Christmas, with one present given each night over eight days to rival the gift giving of the Christian holiday. It’s an ancient tradition that celebrates religious freedom, the foundational commitment of Roger Williams and other icons of American democracy. It holds out hope that light will prevail, justice will be done and truth will abide.

The word Hanukkah means dedication, and by extension, renewal. Reflecting upon our need for spiritual and national renewal might lead us to find inspiration in the Hanukkah story. We could begin by affirming the right of all religious groups to worship, without the domination of government deciding what religious practices are acceptable or preferrable. We could also perform our own purification. That is, purging ourselves of all things that defile our faith and demean the dignity of others.

Finally, we can commit to common cause with people who seek a society where all are welcome to bring their faith into the commons. We can work for the security and welfare of all our neighbors — those we like and those we don’t like; those we agree with and those we disagree with; those who live next door and those who are seeking shelter on our shores.

Don’t just curse the darkness, light a (Hanukkah) candle.
