BLOCK OF BOEDECKER WHERE DALLAS POLICE DISCOVERED A MAN WHO HAD BEEN SHOT

9:40 P.M.

APPROXIMATE TIME THE INJURED MAN WAS TAKEN TO BAYLOR HOSPITAL, WHERE HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD 2

SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR THE CRIME, WHO POLICE BELIEVE ABDUCTED, ROBBED AND KILLED THE VICTIM, AND A THIRD SUSPECT WAS STILL AT LARGE AT THE TIME OF PRESS

THE ABOVE CRIME HAPPENED APRIL 14. SOURCE: DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT

THE LAMPPOST HAD BEEN DECAPITATED.

The Victim: Harlan Hopchik

The Crime: Criminal mischief/vandalism

Harlan Hopchik is perplexed. He was in his Pagewood neighborhood home and heard a loud thud in his front yard. He quickly ran toward the sound, and could not believe what he saw.

THE DALLAS AREA PARKINSONISM SOCIETY will meet Monday, June 7, at 1 p.m. at University Park United Methodist Church, 4024 Caruth. The free event features speaker Sharon Rabb, a clinical nutritionist. For information, call the DAPS office at 972.620.7600.

Date: Tuesday, April 20

Time: 5 p.m.

Location: 10600 block of Stone Canyon

“Somebody basically just drove their car into my yard and hit the lamppost,” he says. “It looks like someone then threw the lamp off the post toward my door.”

As he left his home, he was just able to make out a car driving away. The lamppost that had been in front of his home was dislodged and broken. Hopchik says the lamp is large with concrete at the base and a metal pole out the top, providing light at night for his neighborhood. The lamp did not damage the exterior of his home, he says, but the lamp sustained considerable damage, as did a section of his yard.

“It left a divot about two feet wide. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. I just can’t figure it out,” he says.

Barry Payne of the Dallas Police North Central Patrol Division says it is plausible that a thief was hoping to target the lamp for copper or other metals.

“Anything made of aluminum, copper or some other recyclable metals are targets for metal thieves. Based on the information we received on this case, the lamppost was not stolen, only damaged,” Payne says. “We don’t know if this was because the thief was scared off and did not get away with the post, or it was damaged some other way.

“It would only be speculation what happened and why without capturing a suspect to tell us. Something like this could have been done because a neighbor didn’t like the light because it shined into his house, was trying to steal the light or any number of things. Since we don’t have a suspect, we just don’t know.” —SEAN CHAFFIN

HILLCREST MUSIC TEACHER Brian Smith is a finalist for DISD’s Teacher of the Year award. Smith has been at the school for three years, building the band from 19 members to more than 130 in that time.

HILLCREST SCIENCE TEACHER Ward Coats won a $10,000 grant from Toyota and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) for excellence and innovation in science education. Coats, who was one of 79 teachers selected from more than 500 applicants, will use the grant to improve his biology curriculum, and students will be able to use the laboratory at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School.

URSULINE ACADEMY OF DALLAS has expanded its campus to include the French Family Science, Math & Technology Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed to prepare young women for careers in the sciences, math and world languages. The 70,000-square-foot building was funded in part by a $5 million grant in 2006 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — followed by a second grant of $2 million in 2007. This is the first school building in the Southwest to receive the LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

W.T. WHITEHIGH SCHOOL’S varsity and mixed choirs recently performed a UIL concert, during which they earned top ratings. White was the only DISD 5-A comprehensive high school to achieve that honor. Several White students also recently qualified to compete in the state UIL choir competition. These students, coached by Michael Parker and Larissa Kiefer, include: Paola Arreola, Katie Barnett, Andie Barrera, Hugo Campos, Griselda Cortez, Evadney Duncan, Caryssa Hawkins, Lindsay Matteis, Jasmine McCellan, Randi Mireles, Julie Negussie, Nia Newton, Dustin Nicholls, Tempestt Phillips, Anna Plunkett, Sevin Rosa, Brittany Sewell, Megan Sosebee, Demetrio Teniente, Deidre Thornell, Astoria Walton and Jade Watkins
