Swinging for the fences: A Preston Hollow-area homeowner received a citation for a fence exceeding 6 feet even though she’s been living with the fence for almost 20 years, and it was there when she moved in. Did you know homeowners and builders must obtain special permission from the City of Dallas to own a fence that is more than 6 feet tall? The inspector cited 21 homes on two adjacent streets for not having permits, according to KTVT. The city, according to the report, gave the alleged violators seven days to “fix the problem” or pay fines in excess of $300. Dr. Marcial Oquendo received a citation for his fence. “Everyone’s already kind of mad about it, so when I got it, I was also mad about it,” he told the TV station. “We just moved here.”

Giving voice to refugees: A Preston Hollow mom and SMU graduate student Tiffany Jelke is producing “In Their Own Voices,” a podcast about refugees. Ursuline Academy of Dallas 10th-grader Elizabeth Primrose of Preston Hollow first wrote the story of 45-year-old Jelke who returned to complete her degree in human rights. After accepting a fellowship funded by the Embrey Human Rights Program, Jelke began producing the show, which “pairs dialogue from personal accounts of refugees with information from national experts.” “It’s really easy to live in our comfort bubbles,” Jelke told Primrose, “and, by doing [this podcast], I am doing whatever small part I can [to] provide a way to make a difference to maybe save one life … You never feel as fulfilled until you are doing something in the service of other people.”
