“I think it’s the right thing to do. I know we’re in an economic boom right now, but I don’t think it’s fair to pass re-zoning under a study done in 1989. We need current data.”

—Councilwoman Jennifer Staubach Gates on her intent to initiate a master plan of Preston Center amid recent zoning battles

A lifelong athlete, Patty Heitz found herself sidelined by shoulder problems. She went to her local Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas when pain lingered after rotator cuff surgery at another hospital. Tests revealed a serious staph infection that went all the way into the bone. Surgery to remove the affected bone and tissue plus antibiotic implants and injections cleared the way for a reverse shoulder replacement procedure. She regained full motion in the affected shoulder, but twinges of pain in the other shoulder sent her back to Baylor Dallas for a second rotator cuff surgery. With both shoulders back on track, Patty returned to the course. “Now if I don’t play well,” she jokes, “I can’t blame it on my shoulders.”
