Mike was an avid runner, but his severe liver disease kept him away from his beloved races. The specialists at The Liver Institute at Methodist Dallas Medical Center diagnosed him with two chronic inflammatory diseases. Mike needed a liver transplant. Luckily, he was in the right place to get one.

Today, Mike is proudly back in the race, “running on recycled parts” in honor of the organ donor who gave him a second chance at life. Trust Methodist.

CATHEY ON

Story by ALYSSA HIGH Photography by JESSICA TURNER

When Caleb Cathey walked across the National Youth Conference stage, he wasn’t just accepting a crown for himself. He was taking part in a multi-generational legacy of young leaders in the Church of Christ community.

The National Youth Conference is a predominantly Black Church of Christ conference that has been held around the nation for 70 years. The conference focuses on motivating and guiding youth toward using their gifts to be leaders in the community and the church. Teen attendees can also compete in pageants at the state and national level featuring talent segments and speeches relating to a predetermined theme to try and take home the title of “Mr. National Congeniality,” “Ms. National Congeniality” for those ages 13-15, or “Mr. National Youth Conference” or “Ms. National Youth Conference” for teens ages 16-20.

This summer, Caleb Cathey walked across the pageant stage as the youngest in his category this year, introducing himself by reciting Philippians 4:13 in Mandarin Chinese to set himself apart. For his talent portion, Caleb came armed with a dramatic reading of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream.”

“I tried to put myself in the headspace of what people thought, how the crowd sounded, who was there,” Caleb says. “I used hand motions and voice training from my coaches to really portray what it was like to be there.”

In some ways, the Catheys say that it is more than a competition — the readings and talent portion are evident of their devotion to the conference and the church itself. Mr. National Congeniality winners represent the conference at events, serving as a representative and chaplain for other young Christians. Caleb wasn’t the first Cathey to participate in the pageant. His

older brother Noah was the 2019 winner and reigned as Mr. National Congeniality for three years due to COVID-19 canceling the 2020 and 2021 pageants. During his conference year, Noah performed a monologue called “Righteous Man” by Jonathan Evans, a speech that walks the audience from Adam to Jesus as God’s search for the Savior.

“I am pretty confident on stage,” Noah says. “But the challenge is trying to draw that line between your parents and their relationships and trying to make a name for yourself.”

In addition to having two winners in the family, Caleb and Noah’s father is a national director; their mother is the administrative coordinator; their grandfather was the senior director. The family is so involved, in fact, that Caleb and his twin brother Luke have been attending since before they could walk.

“Our family has been going to the conference for a few decades now. My grandpa was the senior statesman and chairman of the conference, and he took his kids, and our parents took us,” Noah says, “So I can’t take all of the credit. We’re beneficiaries of really great connections.”

Outside of the conference, both boys are involved in many extracurricular activities. Noah, a junior at St. Mark’s School of Texas, is the vice chair of the Inclusion and Diversity Leadership Council, the editor of The Marque Literary Magazine , and is a part of the yearbook, track and basketball teams. Caleb, an eighth grader at St. Mark’s, is on the Green Team Club and the eighth-grade football team.

“Whether it’s community activities or just going to church, the conference really is an extension of our family. The bonds built in that one week last a lifetime,” says Noah. “The conference holds a special place in all of our hearts.

But the challenge is trying to draw that line between your parents and their relationships and trying to make a name for yourself.”

Turning a bistro into the neighborhood’s third place

Story by ALYSSA HIGH | Photography by KATHY TRAN

BOBBY POLLETTE WAS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD WHEN HE FOUND HIS LOVE FOR FOOD and sought a mentor in the restaurant industry. Then a Hawaii resident, he found Jeff Acol, a chef at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. Acol became Pollette’s mentor throughout each other’s careers for two decades.

Acol moved to Naples in 2008 and opened a restaurant called A Table Apart, which he owned with his wife until the industry took a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile,

Pollette graduated from high school and started a catering business called Hapa Catering, which frequently brought him to Preston Hollow until he too had to take a break because of COVID-19.

“It really gave us time to rethink what we wanted to do,” Pollette says.

The pair decided to open a French-inspired eatery between Roti Modern Mediterranean and Salata in Preston Center, calling their most recent venture Au Troisieme, or “third place” in French. The two designed Au Troisieme,

or AT Bistro, to be a neighborhood restaurant —somewhere you’d go once or twice a week.

“I was surprised at how much of a food city Dallas really is when I came in,” says Acol. “It is such an up-and-coming city as far as the competition. The loyalty from the customers is always a wonderful thing and the camaraderie of the local restaurateurs as well. It’s kind of the perfect community.”

Guests can often be seen pushing tables together to eat as a group, a sight that Pollette sees as proof

that they’ve met their goal.

“We want that feeling to be neighborhood,” Pollette says. “A place where you can come and meet a friend for a drink or a great meal … really kind of people’s third place. You have your work, your home and then this place you like to go.”

The shareable, family-style menu combines classic southern dishes with odes to the owners’ past, with seafood like fire-roasted octopus and French favorites like French onion dip.

“Coming from Hawaii, we have a very diverse background,” Acol says. “It’s (the menu) kind of a collaboration of our travels and our flavor profiles.”

Though the restaurant exudes a loungey, friendly and casual atmosphere, the food and drinks are far from your typical casual eatery. The bistro is open for lunch, brunch and

dinner with an additional happy hour menu.

Au Troisieme boasts a full bar, with craft cocktails like the Tazmanian Debil, with Fords Gin, apricot liqueur and Lillet Blanc, and a comprehensive wine menu, featuring bottles ranging from $52 to $96. Wine is also sold by the glass.

The wine collection is shown off at AT’s Fried

Chicken, Caviar and Burgundy Night on the first Tuesday of every month.

“(We’re) bringing the fun side of country eating and elevating it with amazing wines and fun caviars to pick from, showing that you can have great wine with any cuisine,” Pollette says.

THE KINGS & QUEENS OF LOW-KEY ATHLETICS

Story by RACHEL STONE

Photography by Kathy Tran.

They call Cynthia PaineDrennan the pickleball pusher.

She’s brought at least a dozen people into the fast-growing sport, described as a cross between tennis and pingpong, and she plays every day. Paine-Drennan packs paddles and balls and plays pickleball on vacation. She uses tournaments for fundraising, and although she has a career and volunteers at her kid’s school, she generally organizes her life around playing pickleball.

“I didn’t say I was good at it,” she says after whiffing a shot. “But I love it.”

With its ridiculous name and cult-like sta tus, it’s easy to make fun of pickleball. But the sport is addictive and rewarding, players say. It’s a cardio workout and a social outing that can seriously shake the blues away.

Pickleb all is the fastest-growing sport in the world, with an estimated increase of 40% to 4.8 million players last year, ac cording to a 2022 report from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association.

Interviews with about 15 people in Dallas who play pickleball daily turned up no one who played before 2017; most took it up in 2019 or later. Pickleball is taking over rec centers and tennis courts all over town due to high demand.

The City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department has reconfigured at least five public tennis courts to the 50% smaller pickleball courts in the past year, says As sistant Director M. Renee Johnson, who has also taken up the sport and plays ev ery Wednesday at Thurgood Marshall Rec Center in Red Bird.

Indoor pickleball courts can be found at about 20 rec centers around Dallas, and there is a game somewhere every day.

The premium outdoor courts at Camp bell-Green rec center in Far North Dallas can draw 50-60 players at a time, who mark their place in line by shoving the handles of their paddles into the chain-link fence.

Jan and Jim Dauterman of Preston Hollow started playing at the Walnut Hill Rec Center about a year ago because they wanted a little exercise and socializing without having to join a country club.

Now they play four or five times a week at various rec centers around town.

“We’re not competitive,” Jan Dauterman says. “We’ve had a lot of fun meeting people and playing with different folks.”

At the Lake Highlands North Rec Center,

about 30 players take turns, two to a side, on four pickleball courts painted into the floor of the basketball gym. Most of them are here every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but they also see each other at Cole Park, Samuell-Grand and Walnut Hill Rec Center.

There is a no-nonsense urgency to turn-taking — Who’s next? Whose turn is it? Who’s playing? Cheers and congratulatory paddle taps are mixed with light-hearted trash talk. But it’s not like things get heated.

“We call it chuckleball,” says MerriLee Anderson, who started playing after the start of the pandemic.

“That was my lifesaver. That’s the only time I was seeing people.”

Pickleball has since become a thing at her church, Northridge Presbyterian, and it’s a growing trend among neighborhood churches that have gyms they can convert to courts.

Getting into pickleball is inexpensive. There are start-up sets with two paddles and balls costing less than $20. A good paddle can be had for $30-$70, and a set of balls costs less than $10. Tennis fashions are part of the fun for some, however, and opportunities abound to spend money on pickleball gear.

"I have an entire wardrobe,” Paine-Dren nan says.

Joleen Decle of East Dallas started play ing about two years ago when a friend who works for a pickleball company took her out to Cole Park. This was before the tennis courts were converted, and they used tape to mark out pickleball courts.

Now she plays at rec centers all over town, and she organizes the Lake Highlands group, sending out a group email and overseeing the system of play — paddles are stacked on the bleachers to mark players’ places in line. She recently celebrated her birthday with rec center pals at Chicken N Pickle, a restaurant and bar in Grand Prairie that has multiple indoor and outdoor courts.

“The nicest thing about pickleball is that it’s a social event,” she says.

Decle used to play racquetball, and lots of former tennis players take up pickleball, but plenty of players have no prior experience with racket sports.

“Most of the people we play with are older and retired,” Decle says. “Some locations have reputations for being very competitive.”

What is pickleball?

Pickleball is a professional sport with televised matches that are played around the world. But it’s also accessible for many people of all ages and easy to pick up. The game was invented for children in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washing ton. It was named the official sport of the state of Washington this year.

Basics

A pickleball court is 20 feet by 44 feet, about half the size of a regulation tennis court, with doubles or singles using the same lines.

It is played with paddles, not rackets, and light plastic balls with holes.

A pickleball net is a couple of inches lower than a tennis net in the center.

A 7-foot box directly in front of the net on both sides is known as “the kitchen,” or non-volley zone. Players cannot hit the ball from this box unless it has bounced once.

Rules

Games are usually played to 11 and won by two, with only the serving side winning points. Serves alternate between the right and left sides of the court.

A ball that hits the baseline or sideline line is in.

A server faults if the ball lands inside the kitch en or on its line.

Unlike tennis, there’s only one shot at the serve, which must hit the diagonal crosscourt.

Underhand serves only in pickleball, and they must be from the waist, with contact on the up swing. Drop serves are also allowed.

The “two-bounce rule” means a serve must bounce once before it is returned, and the re turn must also bounce once before the opposite player can hit. After that, “volleys” are allowed. That is, hitting the ball before it has bounced.

Terms

Dink : This is an onomatopoeia for a soft shot that usually lands in the opponent’s kitchen.

Kitchen: This 7-foot zone is essential to the game, and strategies are built around it. If a player’s foot or even part of their clothing is on or over the line while re turning a volley, it is a fault. Players’ feet cannot land in the kitchen in execution of a shot, even after the ball is dead. It’s sim ilar to an offsides rule and best to stay out of the kitchen.

Rally: Volleying, or hitting the ball before it bounces, is not allowed until the third shot. A rally is the continuous play before a fault.

After volunteering at an animal shelter called Operation Kindness, Ursuline Academy of Dallas junior Mags McKinney discovered her love for animals. When looking for a way to incorporate her interests, she remembered the weeks she once spent at Children’s Medical Center, and how bored she was. To try and fill that time and brighten the children’s stay, McKinney wrote, illustrated and published 1,000 children’s books to hand out at the hospital. Incredible features endangered species like the red panda, which is illustrated on the cover with facts about each animal and cartoon drawings of her own

Previously, McKinney has displayed her art through selling stickers and Instagram GIFs, creating blankets to donate to The Linus Project, and volunteering as a face painter at school fairs. Last year, she started creating mini digital coloring books that she would donate to the children’s hospital with a pack of crayons for each coloring book.

“The great thing about Ursuline is that they really love to push their students to be involved in service,” she says. “The biggest thing is being willing to trust your instinct, and if there is something you think will be

it. Be willing to adventure with your passion and have perseverance.”

Though McKinney’s passion for art is not new, the book was a venture outside of her typical mediums of traditional painting and drawing.

“I had to research where to print the copies, how to reach out to the hospital, how to create a crowdfunding site,” McKinney says. “Even researching each of the endangered animals so I could make sure the information was reliable took a lot of time. I had to be committed.”

McKinney aimed to raise enough money to publish 500 books within a month of starting her crowdfunding campaign, but she was able to raise twice the amount in the first day.

“I am glad that there are so many others out there who are as passionate as I am about giving back to kids and raising awareness for endangered species,” she says. “I was able to produce 1,000 books instead of 500, which is just really amazing.”

When she isn’t coming up with a new artistic creation, McKinney is participating in many extracurriculars, including the Ursuline swim team and the sailing club. She also serves as an officer of the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society and vice president of the French National Honor Society.

Toe-tapping

Man signs. Just getting them to embrace their personalities and expressing who they are,” Sporl says.

When it comes to social impact, the girls are also looking for ways to bring the art of dance to people who don’t have the opportunity to participate. To give elementary schoolers an opportunity to participate in the dance world, Taten organized a costume drive to donate dance costumes to the Foster Elementary students. Taten received so many costumes that she is looking to other organizations like South Dallas Cultures to donate to.

“We could dance for things like money or ourselves, but we do it because it brings more joy to be able to teach these classes,” Taten says.

Though this year’s children’s performance is over, Hockaday dance students are also bringing the fine

When two Hockaday students were searching for a way to incorporate social impact into their education, they thought, “What better way to be impactful than to dance?” Mary Grace Sporl and Jane Taten decided to introduce elementary school students to the fine arts by teaching third and fourth graders dances to perform for their parents.

The Hockaday School’s top dance classes aim to participate in social impact every year, led by the student leaders of the class.

“Hockaday is trying to move in the direction of making classes and school more social impact-oriented,” Sporl says. “Kids who might not have the best day at school or the best home life get to come in and just dance. At the end of the

day, social impact is about happiness and bringing people together.”

The girls’ two dance classes traveled to Foster Elementary to teach jazz and hiphop. Later, the students performed what they learned for their parents and teachers.

“Especially because of COVID, we are always on social media wanting to be a certain way and look a certain way,” Sporl says. “Dance is all about expressing who you are and expressing yourself and your gifts and talents. We really see the kids shine.”

The idea came when Sporl and her classmates visited an elementary school last year to perform for the students and wanted to find a way for the students to get involved.

When four local teenagers learned about people experiencing homelessness at school, they began noticing how many people in their community were unhoused. The group put supplies into backpacks, filled their cars and handed out the supplies to people experiencing homelessness whenever they could. Their inspiration began seven years ago when a Plano teen was inspired by the people he saw experiencing homelessness every day along the Dallas North Tollway service road. To help, he started filling bags with water bottles, protein bars, beef jerky and Subway meal gift cards and gave them out as he saw people in need. He called it a LifePak.

Four students at his former middle school learned about the project and decided to carry on his legacy. These students, now seniors at various high schools in the area, call themselves the LifePak Initiative and have taken on the goal of helping as many people experiencing homelessness as they can through backpacks filled with food, water and other necessities by partnering with other neighborhood teens and nonprofit organizations.

Though COVID-19 made conducting safe donation drives difficult, the LifePak Initiative has completed 16 donation drives in neighborhood schools and distributed 450 LifePaks, 160 winter coats, 420 knitted hats, 140 winter gloves, 120 woven scarves, 160 baseball caps and 240 pairs of socks. As the students distribute more LifePaks, they’ve adjusted the contents according to needs that arise. The meals started out as sandwiches and chips, but the group felt driven to do more.

After partnering with the local nonprofit Cooking for the Crowd, the LifePak Initiative has cooked and delivered more than 720 hot meals. Other groups have shifted goals to partner with the LifePak Initiative as well, including Passing Hats, which shifted from delivering knitted hats to cancer patients to donating to the homeless population, and the Jesuit Ranger Trap & Skeet Team, which contributed winter clothing that was handed out with LifePaks.

“Our goal is mainly to spread the word and influence our generation to go out and help others and reach more people to help others that are experiencing homelessness,” Acosta says. Jesuit senior Nicholas Archer is one of these founding members. His schedule is packed with cycling team practices and school and familial responsibilities, and he isn’t the only one. Fellow founders and Plano West Senior High school seniors Julian and Jaimi Coleman are active in theater, and Naaman Forest senior Victor Acosta is a martial arts instructor.

Yet, the four spend their free time filling backpacks with resources for people experiencing homelessness in their communities and around Plano and Dallas.

“I have family members and a lot of people I care about that have ended up on the streets due to an unfair situation, so I sympathize with these people out there,” Acosta says. “I feel like it’s part of my obligation as a person who was able to get out of that situation to help others.”

Throughout the past few years, the LifePak Initiative has developed relationships with neighborhood schools to develop donation drives at Frankford Middle School, Shepton High School, Plano West High School, Jesuit College Preparatory School, Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy and Naaman Forest High School. Each school was also given posters, flyers, ads and donation boxes to promote the LifePak Initiative’s mission.

“The big thing about what we do is relationships,” Julian Coleman says. “Without these relationships with these different schools and districts, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.”

All four members are working to find others to take over The LifePak Initiative when they graduate this spring.

In recent months LifePak focused on gaining sponsorship with Preston Hollow United Methodist Church to work as a subsidiary under their nonprofit status so that they can accept donations. The donation portal and website aren’t published yet, but the group has high hopes for the future.

“We’d also love to partner with other organizations that help people experiencing homelessness so that we can form better relationships and have a better understanding of their needs and how to support them,” Archer says.

DALLAS ISD ENROLLS 1,200 freshmen and sophomores annually who have lived in the country for less than three years. On top of ad justing to cultural changes and the inherent challenges of high school, many of these students know little to no English when enrolling. In fact, DISD has more students learning English than San Antonio ISD, El Paso ISD or Frisco ISD have in their total student populations.

“Unfortunately, often with ESL students, their language proficiency is seen as a learning defi ciency. That is not the case,” Thomas Jefferson High School Principal Benjamin Jones says. “Many of our students come to us with really strong math backgrounds, especially with math being a pretty international language. We have a lot of students who do really well and they’re really equipped for it.”

Many newcomer students are able to catch up to their peers in the first two years of high school, even moving on to AP and honors courses.

“Just last year, the No. 7 student in our grad uating class was a student whose first day at a U.S. school was at Jefferson, and she didn’t speak a lick of English when she came here. The goal of the Newcomer Academy is to take that from the standard that these students are ready and capable,” Jones says.

To ensure that students get an equitable ed ucation and can catch up with their peers, this year, DISD started Dallas International Academy, or the Newcomer Academy, for ninth and tenth graders who have been in the United States for less than three years.

“Newcomer students drop out of high school at an almost 50% rate. It’s largely because we do focus so much on their language acquisition that they don’t actually get the best content instruction or they get great content instruction. Still, their language acquisition is left behind,” says Jones.

The program is a school-within-a-school con cept, allowing students to access the same re sources that other Thomas Jefferson High School students have while having the independence in the classroom to work on English proficiency.

Students who are enrolled in Dallas Interna tional Academy benefit from the school’s extra resources, including additional teachers, a dedi cated instructional specialist and a Wraparound Services Coordinator to assess students’ needs both inside and outside of the classroom. In ad dition to the increased personnel, teachers who participate in the program receive a stipend for the

extra work they put into professional development and planning time for the newcomer students.

“It’s really just a concentration of resources and teacher talent and support so that we can support the students not only in their language develop ment but in their graduation plan,” says Jones.

Since the 2019 tornado, Thomas Jefferson High School students have not been able to return to their own campus in three years. After the tornado, Jefferson staff worked quickly to turn the unused former Thomas Edison Junior High School space into usable classrooms again, and Jefferson High School and Dallas International School students have been operating there since.

The staff is preparing to move back to the newly renovated Jefferson High School building in January.

“We’ve tried to replicate that building as much as we can here,” Jones says. “We’ve done as much as we can here, but we will have some nicer, more up-to-date and larger facilities to do it in there.”

Though the academy is the first of its kind in the district, Jones says that the district could add more campuses down the road in other areas with existing newcomer populations.

“The kids are so great. They really are,” Jones says. “We have a history of standout students coming from our programs.”

Scraps from Michelangelo

No part of you is a scrap to God

In the summer of 2019, the Pres ton Hollow Presbyterian Church

Choir offered a series of concerts throughout some of Europe’s beautiful cathedrals. I had the great honor to join them for part of their journey and the privilege to preach at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, the morning before their evening concert. St. Giles’ is important for Presbyterians because it was the reformer John Knox’s home Kirk (church) and is the “High Kirk of Scotland.”

Following worship, I remarked to Calum Macleod, the church’s minister, how powerful worship had been, espe cially communion. He shared it was a common experience for those worship ing at St. Giles’ for the first time, and he was grateful I had come to encounter the Holy in a palpable way that morning. I then asked about the communion table and its orientation in the center of the nave. I was curious because most cathe drals orient the worship space facing the chancel. After purchasing the marble communion table some years back, they reoriented the entire worship space.

I asked Calum about the table; it appeared to be a solid piece of marble and, thus, incredibly heavy! I wondered how they even got it in the space. He chuckled and said, “Well, we had to build a railroad track down the street and into the Kirk, right up to the raised platform to get the table in here!” I was in awe. He continued, “We covered the raised platform in ice so we could slide the solid piece of marble into place. Once we got it in the exact spot, the ice melted, and the table settled into its place.”

I exclaimed, “That is remarkable!”

He replied, “It’s even more remarkable if you know where that piece of marble came from.”

“Where?” I asked curiously.

“It is a piece of the scraps from Mi chelangelo’s carving of David.”

His words took my breath away. I then said, “Wait, what? Wasn’t the piece of marble that David was carved from deemed a scrap, unworthy of carving?”

Calum replied simply, “Yes.”

“So, you are telling me the commu nion table is a scrap of a piece of scrap that was deemed unworthy?”

A slight grin appeared, and Calum said, “That’s right.”

I stood in awe of it all.

My friends, no part of you is a scrap to God. For God looks upon all parts of your life and who you are and sees only blessing, wholeness, and new life. May you stand in awe of that good news and come to know it to be true.
