OPENING REMARKS

By RICK WAMRE

The young and the rich

Reader

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?

DIGITAL DIGEST

Readers react to … A two-bedroom costs $1,700 in Oak Cliff

“This is not right. They come into Oak Cliff neighborhoods then raise rent so high that people cannot afford it. They need to cater to people that have lived in Oak Cliff and longtime residents.”

PEARL MARTINEZ

“They aren’t looking for people from Oak Cliff to move into them. They are trying to lure the younger rich crowd that can afford this rent.”

REBECCA RANGEL CANTU

“Land prices and construction costs are very high now, so these are the rents that it takes to build anything new. If nothing new was built, then people would just bid up the rents even more.”

NATHANIEL BARRETT

“Bishop Arts is a desirable area. Dallas is a strong economy with lots of people moving here. Time won’t stand still. It used to be people complained about Oak Cliff being neglected and forgotten, and now it’s the complaint that people want to live here. You can’t win.”

BUILD MORE PINK TOWERS

Dallas ISD’s Montessori schools are incredibly popular with parents

By KERI MITCHELL

Photo by DANNY FULGENCIO

Parents all over Dallas ISD — and beyond — are clamoring to get their children into the district’s Montessori schools. More than 1,300 students applied this spring to attend either George Bannerman Dealey or Harry Stone, even though the two magnet Montessori schools had only 114 seats between them to offer.

Elsewhere, families are leaving traditional DISD schools in droves. District projections show that enrollment will drop from 156,000 this year to 153,000 next year. But popular magnets and Montessori schools not only are retaining their students but also attracting families who otherwise would choose pri-

vate, charter or home schools. Even suburbanites go to great and, often, unethical lengths to claim DISD Montessori seats, bypassing board policy that reserves those sought-after spots for qualified DISD students.

DISD has opened two Montessori schools in recent years — Eduardo Mata Montessori in East Dallas and Lorenzo De Zavala Montessori in West Dallas — with two more proposed to open over the next couple of years.

The newer schools are different from Dealey or Harry Stone, which both were created when DISD was in the midst of court-ordered desegregation. They and other magnet schools developed an academic admission process to determine who

among the district’s tens of thousands of students would be admitted. The newer schools, by contrast, employ a lottery admission system combined with a “priority radius.”

Parents pepper Jamie Laws with questions about Harry Stone Montessori all the time. Her two daughters, Caroline and Caitlin, are now in fourth and fifth grade and have attended Harry Stone since pre-K.

“You’ve heard of the parents that are camping out the night before to get their application in first,” Laws says. “It’s more like they want to know, ‘What are the tips and tricks to get my kid into the school?’ ”

Their stress is palpable, Laws says, even though many of them don’t really know what Montessori means. Then again, neither did she when she first sent Caitlin to a private Montessori preschool as a 2-year-old. For the first week, every day at pick-up, Caitlin’s teacher proudly reported that she had spent 20 minutes doing “sweeping work.”

“Finally, after several days of this, I said, ‘I’m not trying to be rude, I know I’m ignorant about Montessori, but at some point, am I supposed to stop being excited that she can sweep?’ ” Laws recalls. The teacher patiently responded, “ ‘Can you name one activity besides sleeping or watching TV that she will do for 20 minutes of concentrated effort?’ And I could think of nothing. I’d never thought about it like that. It’s not about sweeping beans; it’s about the process.

“So that’s when I learned, this is different. It’s about how the mind works, and by the time they’re school age, all of those skills help them grade-wise and doing the school work.”

It’s been a good fit for Laws’ daughters, but it hasn’t been without sacrifice. Harry Stone is near the VA Hospital in Oak Cliff, about 20-25 minutes away from Laws’ Winnetka Heights home. Her girls load the bus at 6:45 a.m. and don’t get home until 4 p.m. Trekking there and back for an evening PTA meeting feels burdensome.

Laws sometimes wonders how life would be different if she’d sent her daughters to Rosemont Elementary, her neighborhood school. She imagines it would have been a great

experience for her girls, just as it has been for so many of her friends’ and neighbors’ children.

But Rosemont didn’t offer a pre-K class Caitlin could attend when she was 4, so Laws sent her to Harry Stone, and the great experiences year after year kept the family there.

Now, with Caitlin heading into sixth-grade, Laws is faced with a school choice once again — whether to keep her at Harry Stone, which offers an International Baccalaureate middle school; or send her to Greiner, her neighborhood middle school; or somewhere else entirely.

“I think the questions I’m asking now are different than when she was going into pre-K,” Laws says. “What’s the place where she can thrive and do her best work?”

“Also, I guess the difference is, considering her input is much greater than it was when she was 4 and didn’t know what was going on. Now she has an opinion.”

Pops in the family

Mexican paletas + Brazilian flavors = frozen glory

By RACHEL STONE

Photo by KATHY TRAN

Brothers Adrian and Andrés Lara traveled to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

The Laras knew paletas. Their grandfather owned La Gladis, a paletería later called Manhattan Paletas, in Mexico City, and their dad grew up working there. But they found on that trip that Brazilian popsicles are next level.

Popsicles dipped in chocolate and nuts, filled with condensed milk or chocolate ganache, popsicles filled with booze.

That spawned the idea to open their own Brazilian-style paleta shop, Picolé Pops, in the Bishop Arts District in November 2017.

All of the popsicles are made in-house, and they come in fruity or creamy flavors such as açai, hibiscus, avocado and peanut butter.

Filled paletas include banana with Nutella, passion fruit with condensed milk and mint with chocolate ganache.

Any of them can be dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with unlimited toppings such as nuts or crushed Oreos for $1.

The Laras and their partners already are working on a second Picolé Pops location in Deep Ellum, and that store will have booze-infused popsicles. It’s expected to open in April.

AFFORDABLE MODERN

This home near the Dallas Zoo is spectacular, but it didn’t break

the bank

By RACHEL STONE / Photos by DANNY FULGENCIO

Left: Windows are placed high at the front of the house to keep out harsh afternoon sun while still allowing light to bathe the main room. Above: On the second story, angles and windows are placed so that there’s a different view anywhere one stands.

aurie Baker always wanted a photo of the Dallas Zoo’s giraffe statue in perspective to look like its tongue touches the full moon.

When a super moon was coming up not long ago, she and partner, Bobbi Turner Smith, set out to scout a spot to get the photo just right. A friend saw the pic and asked if he could paint it.

After they built a dream house just east of Beckley, the Dallas Zoo became their across-thecreek neighbor, and their friend made the painting as a housewarming gift.

Baker and Smith have known each other since they were 12 and started dating after an Irving High School reunion. They’ve lived in four or five places together, including a high rise in Downtown Denver and a townhome in Oak Cliff.

When they decided to build something for themselves, they wanted modern with nice views, and they found it in the work of architect Lucas

Above: The home features affordable and durable Corian countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. Below: The main room has a view of the outside deck (notice the giraffe painting).

Petrash, whose Adia Design Co. creates affordable modern homes.

He bought the one-third acre lot near the Dallas Zoo for himself, intending to build his dream home there. But then Baker and Smith came along and wanted to make it theirs, so he sold them the land and his plans for the house.

“He told us, ‘When you start showing these plans to (contractors), they’re going to assume you’re wealthy because modern homes are just more expensive,’” Baker says.

In this case, “affordable” is relative. Baker and Smith declined to say how much they paid for the 1,888-squarefoot home, which has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a tiny wedgeshaped office.

But they say it cost much less than most new modern homes.

“It’s about making small spaces really special,” Petrash says.

The kitchen and bathrooms have Ikea cabinets, Corian countertops and “luxury vinyl tile” on the floors. The vinyl flooring comes in 12-inch squares and gives the illusion of a tile or stone floor but is more durable.

Petrash preserved all of the trees on the lot, which is so close to the zoo that the homeowners can hear the lions roar. He designed the house to have light from every angle, filtered by the tree canopy.

Windows are placed high on the western side of the house, which blocks direct afternoon sun while still bathing the house in light.

Some of the interior walls are curved instead of angled, and none of the drywall has trim. They employed a technique called “reveal,” to finish the drywall, which makes cleaner lines.

Corner windows add character and offer light and views from many angles.

“We focused on quality of space over quantity, sought constant connection to nature, considered ways to use common materials creatively and challenged ourselves to make every space a special experience,” Petrash

wrote in his description of the home for the 2017 Heritage Oak Cliff Fall Home Tour.

The couple hired a general contractor who helped them get through the initial build, but they took over as G.C. for the interior job, making sure everything was done just the way they wanted.

Baker and Smith actually did some of the work themselves, sanding and staining 400 12-foot boards that were installed in the eaves. They also did all of the landscaping.

One aspect of the landscape is a front-yard patio that they built for four plastic Adirondack chairs. Since they didn’t know any of their neighbors, they tried author Kristin Schell’s “The Turquoise Table” theory that creating a gathering place in one’s front yard will draw in people and foster community.

The first time they sat out there, it worked. A neighbor girl came over, then her mom. Their front yard quickly became a social spot.

In the back yard, they had a 1,500-square-foot patio built with a swimming pool in mind. But a pool

would’ve cost $60,000.

Then they attended a home-andgarden show in Fort Worth, just to look around, and they scored an extra large swim spa that was on sale for $20,000 installed.

Jets allow swimming in place, and there’s plenty of room for summertime lounging.

Brooks and Smith built their house in a neighborhood that was cut off from the rest of Oak Cliff in 1956 when Interstate 35 was built. Soon enough, the deck park that’s part of the Southern Gateway project will connect an artery back to the heart of Oak Cliff.

The City of Dallas currently is updating the neighborhood’s infrastructure, replacing sewer and water lines before repaving the streets. The water lines were so old that some of the ones they replaced were wooden, Smith says.

“It’s an old neighborhood that hasn’t had any attention,” she says.

Budgeting Like A Boss

A chic renovation on the cheap

By RACHEL STONE

Photo by DANNY FULGENCIO

Jennifer Dunn’s real estate agent opened the door but declined to enter the Windomere cottage she was showing her in 2014.

“She came out like this,” Dunn says, holding the collar of her shirt over her nose and mouth. “And she’s like, ‘OK, go ahead.’ ”

Dunn’s diminished olfactory senses were a blessing in this case. It smelled like something had died in there.

“I walked from the front door to the back door and all the way back, and I said, ‘OK, let’s do it.’ ”

Inside the renovation

•The shiplap is not only exposed, it’s unfinished. Dunn thinks that the fibers, nails and carpenter’s marks left after the original drywall was removed add character.

•Removing a breakfast nook expanded the kitchen, and taking out a wall turned two closets into one. But the home’s floorplan is otherwise original.

•The house took six months to renovate, and it took Dunn six months more to decide on drawer pulls for the Ikea kitchen. Eventually she ordered “little baby” wooden ones that cost about $1 each.

•She used the leather strap of a well-worn handbag as the dishwasher handle.

•Dunn enjoyed finding scraps of wallpaper and treasures such as a print of a horse painting during the renovation. But she’s still annoyed that the contractor threw away a peacock-back wicker chair that had been left.

Dunn and her agent, Jenni Stolarski, had put in bids on four houses, but the Oak Cliff real estate bonanza was beginning to peak, and Dunn’s offers had been busts.

“By then I realized that to get something over here, you had to offer the day it was listed, and you had to go in over the asking price,” Dunn says.

The year or so that she spent trying to buy a house also gave her time to become educated in the home-buying process, so she knew, for example, that she’d need a renovation mortgage.

Dunn, who owns Sisterbrother Management commercial artist agency, took out about $83,000 for renovations on the 1921 house in Kings Highway. That had to cover all new electrical, heating and air

conditioning, a roof and most of the plumbing, besides cosmetic upgrades.

She made the budget work in part by leaving most of the home’s original shiplap exposed.

She also went with an Ikea kitchen.

“It’s just so solid and easy to work with and inexpensive, comparatively,” she says.

Fisher & Paykel, a client of Sister Brother photographer Casey Dunn [no relation], offered her a range,

hood and fridge at cost.

For the tiny master bathroom, she looked to Craigslist, finding a 48-inch bathtub in Oklahoma. She met a guy in a parking lot to buy the perfect corner sink, and just as he handed it to her, he dropped the box.

“He goes, ‘You can just have it,’ ” she says, and it only has a small chip near the back.

The full renovation took about six months.

Now Dunn is working on another renovation in Oak Cliff, this time a commercial building in Vermont Village for her company’s headquarters.

“This process of renovation, I love it,” she says.

“I realized that to get something over here, you had to offer the day it was listed.”

WORSHIP

By BRENT MCDOUGAL

Resurrection and renewal

It could happen to you

On Feb. 22, 2016, Noela Rukundo of Melbourne, Australia sat in a car outside her home. She watched as mourners filed out of a funeral — her funeral. She sat patiently until she spotted the man she’d been waiting for. As Noela stepped out of her car, her husband cried out: “Is it my eyes? Is it a ghost?”

“Surprise! I’m still alive!” she announced.

He wasn’t happy to see her. In fact, he was terrified. Five days beforehand, he had ordered a team of hit men to kill his wife. Noela had flown to her stepmother’s funeral in Burundi, where her husband had arranged for Noela to be kidnapped. The men said they wouldn’t kill her — they didn’t believe in killing women — but told the husband that they had done the job and were paid. She was released after two days.

The husband returned to Australia and told the community his wife had been killed in a tragic accident. He even set up a fund to receive donations for her memorial. Everyone mourned.

Noela decided that her funeral would be the perfect moment to appear. When she stepped out of the car, her husband turned ashen, reached out to touch her shoulder and found it solid. He jumped and started screaming.

He’s now serving nine years in jail. Noela, however, has begun a new life. She says that she feels like someone who has risen from the dead.

It’s hard to imagine what it was like for those men and women who encountered the living Jesus. Roman soldiers in the first century didn’t botch crucifixions. Jesus was rejected, tried, humiliated, put on a cross. Everything was over. He died. Women who had seen him draw his last breath later visited his tomb. They fully believed he was dead. They believed that they would never see him again.

All of a sudden, he was back, walking,

talking, eating. According to the gospels, he never explained how he came back, only that he was raised. A hidden power was at work. The mystery was unfathomable, but his return was undeniable.

A diverse, liturgical church with deep roots in Oak Cliff and in the ancient faith / Holy Eucharist with Hymns Sunday 10:15 am

If someone dead showed up on your doorstep, you wouldn’t just be surprised. You’d be terrified. That’s how the first disciples felt. But after their shock and seeing Jesus on several occasions, they accepted his return from the dead as a fact.

The early church talked about Jesus as someone who was raised from the dead and that his resurrection actually happened. They didn’t preach “we all need hope” or “everything dies and eventually comes back to life; all energy and matter dissolves to become something else.” His resurrection was hard to accept and inconvenient, but it was a fact. Like Noela standing before her husband, Jesus had come back.

The best news is that resurrection stories still happen. Easter reminds us that hearts can change, from hatred and self-centeredness to love and self-sacrifice. Beauty can replace ashes. Resurrection still surprises us, but it happens. It can happen to you.

Brent McDougal is pastor of Cliff Temple Baptist Church. The Worship section is a regular feature underwritten by Advocate Publishing and by the neighborhood business people and churches listed on these pages. For information about helping support the Worship section, call 214.560.4202.

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.

Carolyn Harris (right) is a miracle. The 57-year-old Arlington resident had an aneurysm and was taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center where neurosurgeons with the Methodist Moody Brain and Spine Institute quickly performed lifesaving surgery. In a word, miraculous. Trust. Methodist.

“If you want to see a miracle, just look at me. I could never say thank you enough to the team of doctors who worked side by side to save my life.”
