Welcome TO

the Dominion Magazine Dear Reader, I don’t know about you, but these warmer months invariably make me desire water, beaches, and of course, our great Texas coast. And what do you think of when you think of the Texas coast? That’s right: SEAFOOD! Mori Bagheri, is the owner of one of my personal favorite seafood restaurants, Bourbon St. Seafood Kitchen located right across the street from The Dominion, and is a perennial favorite of many residents. But many might not know that Mori has opened several restaurants throughout the Greater San Antonio area, and by all accounts, are all wildly successful. I hope that you enjoy learning about his history, the hard work he has put into his businesses, and his future plans. We have several other features contained in this issue that we hope you find as interesting as we did. As always, we are on the lookout for interesting information about our area, engaging people that we’d like to interview, and even students that we’d like to tell our residents and readers about. Please send us a note anytime at ben@smvtexas.com and we’ll review and be in touch!

THE DOMINION WOMEN’S FORUM by Lynette Aleman, Dominion Country Club Member

BATTLE OF THE BARTENDERS The Dominion Women’s Forum had a fantastic time during the March luncheon. Our theme for the event “Battle of the Bartenders,” and was built around the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. The bartenders all had to create a cocktail with a decidedly Irish (or Green) flair about it. They all succeeded beautifully. From the Forum Members’ point of view, it seemed extremely difficult trying to pick the best simply because they were all fantastic! Here’s how it worked: Forum Members visited each bartender’s station, did some serious taste-testing, and voted with a gold coin. The bartender with the most coins was declared the winner. During the competition the ladies also enjoyed an Irish lunch and enjoyed the boutique vendors, with door prizes provided by Dorothy’s Creations, The Bee Pantry, Stella & Dot, Hill country Rocks, The Gift solution, 7 Sisters, Jamie Barrera Hair Products, and Rosalie’s Wreaths. The grand finale was the announcement of the winning bartender. I am excited to share with you (drumroll, please)…The winner of this year’s Battle of the Bartenders Competition was… Emiliano’s Strawberry Mudslide Cocktail. Of course you are going to want to try it for yourself to judge whether it gets your gold coin vote or not, just ask for Emiliano’s Strawberry Mudslide Cocktail the next time you visit the Dominion Country Club!

The Secret is the Sand. Read why we’re so gentle on clothes and safe for the environment. We start with sand. They start with petroleum.

We clean with liquid silicone, a safe, natural byproduct of sand. Traditional dry cleaners use a petroleum-based solvent called perc. The EPA regulates perc as a Toxic Air Contaminant because it can be harmful to humans.

So gentle, clothes look newer longer.

You can see the difference for yourself. Whites don’t yellow, fabrics stay soft and color won’t fade even with repeated cleanings. Wools never get that “washed out” appearance, either. And with GreenEarth®, there’s never any shrinkage. So clothes always retain their correct size and shape.

The scientific reason we’re better Look forward to dry cleaning for fabric. Our cleaning solution is chemically inert. What without that dry cleaning smell. does that mean? It means it doesn’t inter ace with fabric at all. It merely carries the detergent to the clothing and then carries away the dirt and stains.

Because our cleaning process is based on pure liquid silicone, rather than petroleum, you never have to worry about any dry cleaning odor. Your clothes will look dry cleaned. But never smell like it.

TEX AS COAST UPDATE

The Texas Gulf coast, as we all know, was ravaged late last summer by a mammoth Category 5 hurricane named Harvey. The day after the storm, images and video began to emerge of destruction that was literally jaw-dropping. Piers gone, homes turned into swiss cheese, and a tremendous number of small businesses closed, many permanently. Fast forward approximately 8 months, and while the area has certainly made many repairs, there’s still a lot of work to be done. Many hotels, restaurants and small businesses are still repairing, but the outlooks is very bright for this popular section of Texas. As we near the summer months, we wanted to let you know about the status of your favorite coastal towns, and to let you know that, for the most part, the Coast is re-opened and ready for your summer business!

ROCKPORT:

Rockport was Ground Zero for Hurricane Harvey, and understandably experienced the greatest loss of property. An eclectic small town full of art galleries, quaint restaurants, and small retail shops was literally flipped upside down. According to the Mayor, Rockport has re-opened approximately 450 of their original 1300 small businesses. Additionally, as much of the multi-family housing was wiped out completely, much of the workforce is gone which is further aggravating the situation. Civic leaders predict a 3-5 year recovery timeline for the town to be back to pre-Harvey. That said, the town is still beautiful. Yes, many of the businesses are shuttered, but the town is remarkably clean. Yes, you will go down a random street and come across a large boat literally on the side of the road, but they are few and far between. Beaches are beautiful, many of the popular restaurants are opened, and much of the main retail district is bustling. What the town really needs is your dollars. As you can imagine, tourism is the lifeblood of many of the coastal towns, and your business and loyalty would go a long way to speeding up the recovery.

APRIL 2018

PORT ARANSAS:

A few miles down the road from Rockport is the equally quaint and bustling town of Port Aransas. Because of the size of Hurricane Harvey, most believe that Port Aransas was also a direct hit and equally damaged. Port Aransas features many more beachfront hotels, condos, and housing, and so the damage was perhaps worse for these areas. With a slogan in one of the businesses that reads: “Port Aransas: Strong Through Harvey, Hell, and High Water” it’s apparent that these residents know, not only what they’ve been through, but what still lies ahead. The stats are pretty staggering: 23% of the lodging is re-opened. The economic impact this summer alone is expected to reach $250 million in lost revenue. 50% of the residents are still not able to move back into their homes, and many have simply been forced to relocate out of town, compounding the issue for workforces, local dollars, and services. Yes, as all Texans know, we’re a tough bunch. One truck has the words “Nice try, Harvey” spray painted on one side and that hopeful defiance is what is helping. Just like Rockport, their message is clear: PLEASE COME BACK. The beaches are pristine, and the waters are just as beautiful as ever. Yes, there is construction prevalent throughout town, but that’s simply a necessary evil. Fishing guides are ready for you, approximately 50% of the local restaurants are re-opened, and while there are less lodging options than in year’s past, there are still a lot of places ready to take your reservation. Jeff Hentz, President of the Port Aransas Chamber of Commerce explains, “Visitors unsure of what to expect will find relief in the pastel vacation homes that continue to dot the horizon like Easter eggs and the expectant fishermen who line up each morning to cast their lines into the Gulf of Mexico’s choppy waves. There are still plenty of abandoned buildings and construction sites, but most of the amenities tourists demand, from coffee shops to fast-food restaurants, are once again available.”

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART by Brian Kenneth Swain, Dominion Resident :: photography by Ben Weber

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. - Jalal ad-Din Mohammed Rumi, 13th century Persian poet

Tehran, Iran shares many similarities with San Antonio, Texas. That is an admittedly nonintuitive way to open a biographical piece about a Dominion resident. But it’s important context for explaining the presence of a significant community of Iranians here in the Alamo City, and a helpful backdrop, as well, for telling the story of one Iranian native in particular, Morteza (Mori) Bagheri, well-known local entrepreneur and restaurateur. But we’ll get back to Mori and his story in a moment. Tehran is a major Western Asian capital city, with nearly eighteen million residents in its metropolitan area, making it the second largest city in the Middle East. It’s at similar latitude to both Houston and San Antonio (about three hundred miles farther north actually), meaning the climates are similar. And it’s an ancient city, with civilization dating back more than seven thousand years. Throughout those millennia, Tehran has developed a reputation for cultural tradition and hard work, which brings us at last to the story of Mori Bagheri. Mori was born and raised in Tehran, one of ten siblings (including a brother who also lives in The Dominion). His father was a self-made man whose dedication and work ethic the young Mori always looked up to

APRIL 2018

as a mentor and role model. And his mother was always more than busy keeping up with a family of ten. He had thought frequently during his childhood of moving to Europe to seek his fortune, but in the end he decided that his prospects were better in America. So it was with the vision of eventually returning home and joining his father’s construction business that Mori came to America in 1976 at the age of twenty. When asked why he chose Texas, out of all the places in the U.S. he might have selected, he points to a youth spent watching John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart westerns on television and a desire to experience the American west. Mild winter weather, an existing nucleus of Iranian expats, and a city big enough to be interesting but not so big as to be overwhelming, and the decision was an easy one.

His parents were generally supportive of Mori’s decision to come to America, so much so that they drove him to the airport, paid for his trip, and also financially supported his education once he arrived in Texas. Mori’s first stop was Houston, where he began his American adventure by tackling the daunting task of learning a new language, promptly enrolling in an ESL course. He had always been good in school at math and science, and so, with new language skills under his belt, Mori moved to Kerrville, where he began a program in civil engineering at Schreiner University. Though Mori did not end up completing that engineering program, he put the education to good purpose by spending several years working in building and development, just as his father had done back in Iran. But he was still restless

T h e D o m i n i o n -M a g a z i n e . c o m

and unsure of what direction he wanted his career to go, so he enrolled at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio and obtained a degree in marketing, which turned out to be a propitious move for what would eventually become his profession of choice. Two factors—one major, the other less so but still formative—contributed to what would ultimately become Mori’s passion in life. The financial downturn in the mid eighties made building and development work very tough going for a young man still new to the business. Also, while in college, Mori had spent a great deal of time working as a server in a restaurant, a job he enjoyed but never seriously imagined himself focusing upon. And though he had always imagined being in business for himself, he made it all the way to his late twenties before finally deciding which direction his professional life would take. So, with development opportunities all but nonexistent by 1987, Mori took a bold turn in his life and opened his first business, a Tex-Mex restaurant on Military Highway called Sarita’s. The first thing Mori discovered about restaurant ownership was the wonderful feeling he got watching people enjoy themselves with the good food and the casual environment he had created. When asked why not a Persian restaurant, given that he had grown up in that culture, he responds that the city wasn’t quite ready for that sort of experience, given the demographic makeup of San Antonio and the culture that had developed here over the past three hundred years. Ironically, though it was the economic downturn of the mid eighties that caused so much difficulty in building and development, he credits that economic climate with making it somewhat easier to start a new restaurant, as it reduced many of the start-up costs for the new establishment. With the initial success of Sarita’s, Mori was soon approached by his landlord about opening a second restaurant, which he did—Casa Rita about a year and a half after the opening of his first establishment. Then, soon enough, another year passed and with it another new eatery was opened, the first location of Milano, an Italian restaurant on Wurzbach. Before much longer there were four Milano locations, and suddenly Mori had a career on his hands as a restaurateur. Today, thirty years after opening his first

APRIL 2018

restaurant in San Antonio, Mori owns numerous local fine food venues, including three Bourbon Street locations, as well as two Scuzzi’s, one Papa Nacho’s, and one Pompeii Italian Grill on Nacogdoches. And though he is, of course, closely involved with the business side of all these establishments, he also directly supervises the creation of all the menu items, frequently modifying recipes himself to ensure the authenticity of each type of cuisine. He regularly visits high-end eateries in Houston, New Orleans, and elsewhere to learn about new recipes and techniques, because he learned early in his career that failing to stay current on consumer trends and favorites is a sure-fire way to lose money in the restaurant business. He visits every one of his restaurants nearly every day and pays close attention to both his staff and customers. He doesn’t have any immediate plans to open additional locations, but he has thought from time to time about getting back into just a bit of development and construction. He points to the satisfaction of envisioning and designing a new structure and then watching it come to life. So, what personal characteristics are essential to be successful in the restaurant business? For Mori the primary one is trust, in your team members and in your ability to find and hire the best people. Particularly in the current tight labor market, finding such people—managers, chefs, servers, bartenders—is a continuing challenge, and he has been blessed to have some of the finest in the city working with him. He observes that you cannot teach people trustworthiness or heart, i.e., the heart to work hard for the rewards that come with this business, whether they be financial or simply the feeling of doing a great job and making customers happy. He also points to the importance of simply loving what you do, because he does it seven days a week, typically from eight in the morning until past ten at night. If you don’t love what you’re doing, it’s easy to get burned out very quickly. The attention Mori showers on his customers is evident, even in the time we spend talking in preparation for this article, during which he breaks from our conversation at least half a dozen times to greet arriving or departing customers, most of whom he knows by name. There is a genuineness to his manner and an easy pleasure he obviously takes in each interaction. He tries hard to learn

T h e D o m i n i o n -M a g a z i n e . c o m

what his customers think about his culinary offerings, whether positive or negative. It’s a difficult and expensive proposition getting a new customer in the door for the first time, and failing to understand their needs and preferences is an excellent way to ensure that they do not return, particularly given all of the competing restaurants available in San Antonio. [Editorial side note: Witness the experience of the short-lived Chinese restaurant Wangchao that sprang up on the westbound side of I10 last year, only to fail in less than six months because of the mediocrity of the menu offerings and the above-market prices. Most of the Dominion residents this writer has spoken with about that experience said the same thing—they went once and never returned.]. But even a fiendishly busy restaurant owner needs some sort of personal life—so what about Mori’s? He’s married with three children. He met his wife of twenty-two years, Leila, while on a business trip to New York City, when a friend of a friend introduced him to a beautiful Iranian woman. The couple commuted between New York and San Antonio for a couple of years before making it official. They have two daughters, eighteen and twenty-one, and a fifteen-yearold son. The oldest is currently completing her undergraduate education at UT Rio Grande Valley and aspires to go to medical school. Their younger daughter and son are students at Health Careers High School here in San Antonio. When quizzed about aspirations for his children, Mori doesn’t hesitate to say that he will steer them away from the restaurant business! Too much work, too little time for family. It can easily become your entire life. And as for his own challenges juggling such a schedule while maintaining a family life, he immediately credits a very understanding Leila, who not only manages much of their family life

but also applies her graduate education to helping out with the financial side of the family businesses. As for life at The Dominion, the Bagheris love it and have been here since 1986. Back when he first came to San Antonio, he recalls driving by the Dominion gates every day on his way to and from Kerrville and dreaming about living here. When the time finally came to build his first home, he didn’t even get a chance to move in, as he received an offer to buy it almost immediately after completing construction. But the second house he built has been the family’s home ever since. And what do they do during those few times when he’s not focused on managing multiple San Antonio restaurants? It’s primarily a mix of travel (Alaskan or Caribbean cruises, occasional return trips to visit friends and family in Tehran) and local sports events (Spurs, Cowboys, UTSA). And as for bucket list items, there is no sky diving or racecar driving on Mori’s horizon, simply a desire to perhaps slow things down a bit, spend more time with family, and ensure that all of the children make it successfully through college and into their own chosen careers. Reflecting back on thirty years of restaurant ownership and life in San Antonio and The Dominion, Mori waxes philosophical. “Life is short. Enjoy what you do for a living, but don’t get too wrapped up in it.” It’s a fitting encapsulation of the life he has spent keeping his family secure while making his customers happy and exposing them to the finer things in life. Perhaps traveling halfway around the world in search of that sort of opportunity is a journey best left to those with the heart to see it through. Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune: every success depends upon focusing the heart.

STEVE SHIELDS Director of Golf, The Dominion Country Club

On March 3rd, The Dominion Country Club announced that Steve Shields came on board as the Director of Golf at the Club. I had the opportunity to spend a little time with Steven at this very busy time in his career and to discover a bit more about him, his family, and his golf passions. “I was born in Oskaloosa, IA, and lived there until I left home for college. I plan on never going back to those kind of winters. If you notice, my roles since college are all in warmer areas!” Speaking of that, his college career was with Eastern New Mexico University, where he had a golf scholarship. He received his Business Degree and started the rest of his life. “Thirty five-plus years ago, I was working at Lake Ridge Country Club in Lubbock, Texas. My friend introduced me to a friend of his, Julie, who has blessed me by being my wife for each of the thirty-five years since then. We have two daughters, Lauren and Racheal. Both are in their early 30s now and married, bringing us three grandchildren: Landon, Paisley, and Logan, ranging in age from 5 years to 8 months! They are all in the San Antonio area, and we love being able to spend time with them all.” Steve continued “We’ve been in San Antonio since 2005, and when we moved here we headed to Helotes. At the time it was less than seven miles, and almost the same number of minutes, from my house to my office at La Cantera. Our early exploration

APRIL 2018

of the area also proved to us that we like the idea of a small, historical little town to live in.” I asked Steve if his area was experiencing some of the expansion like other small towns in the area — explosive and unfettered growth. “No, development is happening, of course, but it seems to be staying outside of the historical areas — and we, the whole Helotes community, are very pleased about that.” When he isn’t at the Club or golfing, Steve continues his love of the outdoors. “I love to bird hunt, and I really enjoy doing yard work!! Julie and I spend a lot of time with our grandchildren, and that rounds out my days pretty completely. Although, we love “Sunday drives” where, regardless of the actual day of the week, we travel along the backroads to many of the small towns in our area. Neat little restaurants, the wineries, just exploring in general. Wimberley is one of our favorites.” I asked Steve what he has enjoyed about his early days in his new role at the Club. His answer was ready! “I love that the Members are so welcoming and receptive to a newcomer. I’ve felt right at home since my first hours here. Of course, the fact that the Club’s staff is so stable and long-tenured makes it even easier to be the ‘new guy,’ because they know the ropes and are happy to show me!” Steve continued with some of his ideas for the future: “I love how DCC is such a strong example of a member-focused club

environment. My focus is, and always will be, on making sure members are always proud of their Club and want to bring their friends and family here. Whether that is through the service they receive, how efficiently a process works, or the beauty of the grounds — those are the basics that must be perfect. My goal is easy — it is to continue to build on those successes here, to draw our current — and future Members — to the Club just because they love being here.” Stephen Phillips, the Club’s General Manager, outlined some of Steve’s resume and background that led him to being chosen for this role. Some of that newsletter outlined the following: “Steve has had an extremely successful career with Troon Golf, currently serving as their Director of Golf Operations, at LaCantera Resort and Spa, here in San Antonio. He worked as the Director of Golf at the prestigious Haig Point Club on Daufuskie Island in Hilton Head, prior to moving to Texas to take on the role of Director of Golf / Area Managing Director at Traditions Club, in Bryan. Steve is a Class A Member of the PGA and has been awarded Troon’s Manger of the Year, has twice been the Southern Texas Section of the PGA’s Merchandiser of the Year, and was listed in Golf World Magazine’s 100 Best Golf Shops for five years!”

FITNESS by Paco Miranda

AVOID TENNIS INJURIES WITH THESE EXERCISES As much as we all say we are going to exercise, we often don’t. But here are a few that may very well help you avoid the pain and agony of a tennis injury — and are well worth the few minutes of your day it takes to execute them! Tennis is such a fun game. It requires that a player move through different physical planes while playing. This is simple locomotion action. However, because most of those movements are at our body’s maximum speed, the simply act of ‘locomotion’ can easily result in strain or damage.

Muscle balance, flexibility, core strength, agility, and coordination are among some of the necessary skill to play tennis. These skills all come into play at one time as our bodies travel along every single kinetic movement, ultimately resulting in the power your body transfers to the your wrist, forearm — and only then does it move to the racket. As any tennis player can tell you — it is important to work the whole kinetic chain and not to try to isolate different muscles.

player experiences are in their shoulder, elbow and/or lower back. Think of the force required to ace a serve by your opponent, or to return to hard and fast volley. The following exercises focus on those body areas — I recommend you perform them religiously and discover that toned and prepared muscles help you avoid injury — AND improve your game!

SCOTT CLARK THE PET CONCIERGE

The holidays are a joyous time to gather around family and friends. Many times this calls for traveling to far-off places, leaving a precious piece of your immediate family behind – your pet. Sure, a friend will volunteer to care for your furry friend, but you’ll still be guilt-ridden and worried that your pet isn’t getting the care that they deserve. This is where the reliable professionals and The Wagmore Pet Resort step in to relieve loving pet parents of some of their holiday stress.

together. We also do grooming, standard boarding, and training as well.” Coming from an entrepreneurial bloodline, it’s no surprise that Scott’s new business is off to a promising start. “We have been entrepreneurs in the San Antonio area for 50 plus years. My grandfather has started businesses, my father has started businesses, so this is just our newest one that we’re doing.” Although pet boarding is a new area of business for the family, it was a natural

environmentally friendly as possible and that’s one thing that sets us apart from some of our competitors.” Scott admits that there are challenges to overcome in a business that requires genuinely good people on its staff. “The biggest challenge is proper staffing; making sure that we have the best crew that’s available. We’re looking for really good people because we’re caring for animals. We want to make sure that we have people that are dedicated and caring because we think of [pets] as being very much like children. So we have to find the right mix of a hard worker with somebody that’s compassionate and truly is going above and beyond for the care of the animals.” Scott’s family may make starting a business seem effortless, but he advises up-andcoming moguls to do their research before taking their idea to the bank. “You need to do a lot of the legwork because you can’t just go into a bank and say, ‘Hey, I want to start a business.’ They have a lot of questions and they want to see the numbers and they want to make sure it’s going to make sense to do. Doing your homework is a big part of it; making sure your demographics are there, that all of your numbers are going to line up so you can get your financing started.” With a background in finance and banking, we’ll take his word for it.

This state-of-the-art pet care facility provides anything from pet boarding to grooming and dog training. A business started by Scott Clark and his parents in 2010, The Wagmore Pet Resort was what the residents of the greater northwest area had been missing all along. “We just noticed that it was a business that there was a hole in this area for. I grew up here; we’ve lived in The Dominion since the late ‘80s. We saw the growth of San Antonio going out this way and decided to start the business,” Scott explains. “We take care of people’s pets, primarily while they’re on vacation. We do offer, as well, daycare drop-off services, much like a children’s daycare, where we have them exercise and have the dogs running around 42

We’ve always been dog and cat people and thought it was a good fit as far as starting a business.” And here it is, one of the most unique pet boarding facilities for miles. The 12,000 sq. ft. Wagmore thrives off of many “green” technologies as one of the most ecofriendly facilities in the area. “We have solar hot water throughout the whole building. Rainwater catchment, that’s all we use for our water. We don’t have a well or public water source, we work on rainwater catchment. We did a lot of neat reuse of building materials. We try to be as

While Scott is mainly focused on making sure each and every one of his customers gets the proper care, he also has more ambitious goals for the future of his business. “We’ve had a lot of growth in the past and we want to continue that, so expansion is not out of the question. Another location maybe a few years down the line would be nice, but we don’t have anything planned for it right now. We’re just making sure that we service our customers and give them the best care that’s possible.”

THE LAST MRS . PA RRIS H

THE LAST MRS. PARRISH is a debut novel of romantic suspense written by Liv Constantine, the pen name of sisters Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine. These writers divide their story of manipulation and intrigue into three parts. The first thirty-five chapters place the reader inside the shrewd and devious mind of Amber Patterson. This young, beautiful and nefarious main character drips with villainous intent to destroy the seemingly happy household of wealthy and attractive Daphne and Jackson Parrish. The reader knows from page one Amber is wicked and cunning. Her manipulative character appears to be a direct polarization of kind-hearted and naive

Daphne. That’s until one reaches Part II of the book. These next thirty chapters take us behind closed doors of the Parrish mansion. There is more going on than meets the public eye. Manipulation is the name of the game for not only Amber, but also Jackson and the saintly Daphne. It really is no surprise that there will be a twisty turn in the action. This book’s jacket cover boldly states, “Some women get everything. Some women get everything they deserve.” Some critics consider this novel to be “Gone Girl-esque”. Perhaps this is a new genre where the main characters are despicable or at least unlikeable. THE LAST MRS. PARRISH proudly carries the

Reese Bookclub Seal. It was the December 2017 pick for the Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine Book Club. Somewhat coincidently, Witherspoon starred in the film adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s superior novel, BIG LITTLE LIES. Both books deal with domestic violence and both have satisfactory endings. The Constantine sisters give us a well constructed story that clips along through short chapters. Some of these dwell a bit too long and in too much detail concerning what is being worn, what is being eaten and how the rooms are lavishly decorated. Nevertheless, according to Goodreads, 91% of people liked this book.

TENNIS

by Barry Mills, Head Tennis Professional, The Dominion Country Club

COACHES CORNER Part of loving a sport is the continuing education that it demands. Tennis certainly requires that a player continue to improve their level of skill by focusing on the details of some of the most basic of positions. This month’s focus is on just that — the Basic Volley Position. Stroke Production: Basic Volley Position Here are a couple of questions that everyone has at some point in their tennis development, and knowing and executing accurately will ensure great play. 1) Where should the racquet make contact with the ball when hitting a groundstroke?

The contact on groundstrokes should be in front, whether using a closed stance or open stance. However, for volleys this is tricky. “In front” is relative for volleys, because you have to turn sideways (to the net) when hitting a volley. Keeping the racquet in front and middle of your chest when you turn sideways to the net puts the racquet in the correct position to “punch” the ball. The arm should not take the racquet back for a volley. Instead, the whole body should turn, then a “step punch” finishes off the volley. The “volley swing” is so short that most coaches refrain from using the “swing” word! Never does a coach want to encourage a player to take a big swing when this simple “step punch” is all that is required — and is desired!

DOMINION TENNIS ACADEMY Congrats to Jay Perry and Luke Cantu! Our Dominion Tennis Academy players competed in the Kerrville Challenger this past weekend. Luke won the Boys 14 singles division and Jay won the Boys 12 singles consolation. We are so proud of all DTA players!

2) How about a volley? If your answer was “in front” for both, you are right and wrong. Let’s take a closer look.

Take a good look at the photos and, if you are successful at applying these steps, your game will definitely continue its improvement.

LUKE CANTU

JAY PERRY

Cathy Mains demonstrates the ready position and then the correct contact position in this photo set. It is easy to see the racquet is in front of her but not closer to the net. Also, note how Cathy is looking where the ball would be at contact. Make contact with the ball here and you will have great success with your volley!

GIRL ABOUT TOWN by Lynette Aleman, Dominion Resident

THREE BEARDS M U S I C I S W H AT S AV E D M E

I’ve often wondered how things that happen…happen. How did someone start an acting career? A singing career? Ask any artist of any type how they got ‘there’ and you find they each have their own winding story. Here is Hank Barbe’s story, and the Three Beards story…and it is one for the ages. For a bit of background on how this happened, it is important to know that Hank served as a Flight Medic in the Army, and his deployment to Iraq was a part of the first attacks back in 2003. Unfortunately, Hank was injured during his deployment and was sent home with medical discharge. “My position was hard to fill — proven by the fact that not six months later, my whole unit was redeployed simply because of the lack of available flight medics!” Hank started his military career in the Army, and after four years there, he joined the Marines. In total, he served for more than 12 years. As a flight medic on the front line, Hank told me “I saw firsthand the horrors of war. Each of those sights and smells still haunt me.” Hank continued with the statements that are the first indications of his next step towards the Three Beards: “When I was medically discharged, I learned about the hardest things that happen when you are discharged. I was trying to figure out how to be a civilian, and I sorely missed the sense of purpose, the joy of saving lives, of helping my unit. And, of course, camaraderie. Ultimately I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and began a course of treatment at the VA.” Hank’s story proceeds: “The VA strategy at the time seemed to be geared towards providing medicines, just enough to ‘make the vet go away’. I’m a good example. I was treated with the “standard treatment” at the time, which consisted of various prescriptions, all of which seemed to come laden with nasty side effects. Then, more pills to counter the side effects of the first pills. I was taking up to 16 medications a day at one point!”

APRIL 2018

If only the medications had been more thoroughly planned for these men and women, maybe some of the issues we see today would be moot. “Part of the side effects of these medications to ‘alleviate side effects’ is the introduction of suicidal ideation. This is NOT a side effect someone with PTSD should be exposed to. During my treatments I worsened and worsened. Unfortunately, I acted upon those thoughts, ended up in a coma, and I’m still having surgeries to fix broken parts. All because of medicines needed to fix medicines.” Then one day, while messing around with his guitar, Hank experienced something new. He started to create! “I started playing guitar somewhere in my middle teens, maybe 14 or 15. And that guitar has been all over the world with me — I took it with me to Iraq! Once I was wounded, my guitar was the most mobile and most available assistance when I needed to deal with everything.” When he felt loneliness and PTSD symptoms creeping up, he would start playing, playing, more playing, and then ultimately, creating.

Virtually every day he was playing his guitar and ‘writing his truth’. He started writing just to unpack what was in his head and his heart…and that led to songs and lyrics. “In fact, I had a vault of songs written before I even started public performances.” Music. Music is what saved Hank. “One night, a buddy convinced me to attend an open mic night. I went with him, but it took me eight times to the club before I would actually get up on stage. But, once I was on stage…well, I knew that was it for me.” He realized this medium gave him four uninterrupted minutes to convey his message. And now…the rest is history. As Hank told me, music and art gave him a purpose and a platform to spread awareness about PTSD and the transition struggles military men and women experience. His favorite song on the album is “Lesson Learned” because it is so personal. It is about what PTSD feels like to Hank. The truth of that statement comes through brilliantly in his lyrics. They are powerful

and speak about life, the horrors of war, and PTSD all packed in what peripherally sounds like an upbeat tune…until you really listen to the lyrics. Musically the Three Beards ‘style’ is difficult to put in a box. As I think about it, I realize it actually shouldn’t be. It has a catchy groove on the songs and the riffs linger long with you. In fact, during a recording session with Frenchie Smith, Frenchie told Hank “the band’s style reminds me of Counting Crows AND Judas Priest!” How about that for a range! With original songs such as “Truck Stop Coffee,” “Sink or Swim,” “Caroline Cries,” and “Absence,” the melodies are catchy and the words run deep. I asked Hank how the creative process works for him. “When I start to write a song, I just start playing. It is all based on how I am feeling at the time and based on my mood. If I’m happy, the songs are happy; if not, the music or the lyrics reflect that. Music is therapy and life-saving. Sometimes I am surprised that the happiest of songs has the saddest of words. Its just the way it flows out of my brain.”

T h e D o m i n i o n -M a g a z i n e . c o m

Once Hank started playing publicly, a music non-profit, Sweet Relief, featured Three Beards as a spotlight artist of the month. Hank told me “That was a complete out-ofthe-blue experience!” A few months after that, CBM records signed Hank and put him in touch with Mike Froedge, who was the 2012 producer of the year, and played drums on some of the earliest recordings of Three Beards. “At the beginning, the band only consisted of me and Ian Dehle (guitar) and I admit I ‘sort of ‘stole him from another band…Soon after, bandmates John Eric Delazerda (guitar), Kevin Martinez (drums) and Anthony Aleman (bass) joined the band. Each member brings their unique musical voice to each song. Notice that I didn’t name a lead guitarist. That is because both Ian and Jon Eric share lead guitar duties. What’s great about this band,” according to Hank, “is there are no egos and everyone meshes well. Camaraderie in action.”

it? But it works! Lyrics are focused on the feeling of losing something special but coping with it through writing a song about it.” John Eric continued by saying “I hope our message is clear, that having an outlet to release strong emotions is healthy and rewarding.” He also added that a bonus is the world gets something new and beautiful. After hearing the band at work, I agree with John Eric.

The camaraderie that Hank sought, and found, in this group is driven by the dynamics of them all. Hank and the guys were kind enough to spend some time with me to relay their experiences, their histories…and here a little bit of that info is: First, guitarist Ian Dehle’s motto is “don’t work on anything I don’t love or believe in — and I do both with Three Beards! Playing music is one thing, but the next step is having people enjoy it, even dancing and singing to it.” He swears he has seen people do the western two-step to what he thought was rock music! Ian started playing music when he was 10, and guitar and drums. You will hear Ian’s influence on the song “Sink or Swim,” on the first EP, with all its intricate guitar layers that can make it difficult to play live. My favorite Ian quote? “The band is big in the veteran community, which is a huge family. That’s how we run our band — like a big family.”

For Kevin, “being in this group has been perfect since the get-go. The sound and voice of Three Beards is continuing to evolve, and this is the most successful band I have been honored to work with.” The drums are Kevin’s forte. His top musical influence is Dave Grohl, who is, as Kevin tells me “one of my biggest influences musically from my punk rock phase to modern rock.” His first music experience was playing harmonica at age 9. “Shortly after that, I attended a live performance to watch my cousin drum for a punk rock band. When I saw him perform live, I was hooked! I HAD to play!” Like the others, he isn’t a one-instrument musician. He also plays guitar and bass, clarinet, and saxophone. Kevin’s favorite Three Beards song is “Absence” and “Lessons Learned,” because “those are the songs that let me really rock the drums!” He is excited about the new songs to be released, especially the song “Smoke” which is his favorite.

John Eric Delazerda grew up in a musical family — his father played guitar, violin, accordion, and piano. “My dad was our family’s minstrel — he sang at all the family functions! My mom is an artist, and was always painting. I grew up lucky because music came easier to me than it does somethings — I was surrounded by art and music my whole life. I appreciate my family and they gave me a deep appreciation for self-expression.”

Anthony Aleman, Dominion resident, joined Three Beards in 2016. He has been a professional bassist for well over 20 years and has been in several bands, including Union Underground. Anthony is a formally trained saxophonist, but a friend asked him to play bass for a little garage-band…so he did. He quickly took to his new instrument and launched a career that has seen him perform with many artists across the country. “I have played more than a thousand shows and been blessed to perform with some amazing bands at legendary venues. I love music and I know that when you are sitting outside on a beautiful summer day with a cold beer and steaks on the grill, THIS is the music you want playing! This music has deep meanings, it shares the effects of war

John Eric loves Three Beards and the guys in it. “I agree that music is a healing force. But don’t forget that it is just plain fun! Our style is eclectic, drawing on many different sources, then mashed together into our sound. Sounds very un-artistic, doesn’t 60

John Eric’s favorite song on the albums is “Faith.” “I feel most like myself when I am playing — never forget that music and art is its own reward.” Kevin Martinez joined the band as the drummer and, immediately, was deployed to Africa. His first gig was playing bass because while he was in Africa, Aaron Norris filled in on drums. Kevin has been in the military for 9 years as Naval Reservist combat engineer.

on the soul, but it is mixed with hope that everything will be all right.” The band’s successes, and influences, continue to expand. Not only have they performed at many events such as The Vettys and the presidential inauguration in Washington DC, their music has also been featured in the award-winning documentary entitled No Greater Love, a movie about a soldier’s life, combat and struggles while deployed in Afghanistan. The past couple of years for Three Beards seemed to be themed as limousines, open bars and movies stars. According to Hank, “The internet is an interesting place. You can find music from all over the world anywhere in the world. For example, Three Beards is now playing in Australia. A guy named Isaac Banks at Valley FM Radio and Banks Radio Australia internet radio found us back in 2016 and continues to play our music. Candace Marshall, editor for Starlight Music Chronicles, also plays Three Beards on her Canadian radio show. Most recently, I found out that our song “Smoke” was on the radio this week!’ Three Beards is releasing a new EP in the next few weeks, after working with Mike Froedge again. He produced one track on the upcoming release and 4 songs on the last album. If you would like to catch a show, their upcoming event will be at The Amp Room on May 4th, 2018 with Matt Gilmore. (Matt Gilmore is an emerging artist currently based out of Austin, Texas. If his name sounds familiar it may be because he is the Oldest son of David Gilmore of Pink Floyd.) http:// www.theamproom.com/ Check out their music at Reverb Nation at www.reverbnation.com/threebeards4 and on Spotify at open.spotify.com and on also iTunes.

Well, now I have that previously missing sense of purpose, I have the joy, and I have the camaraderie again.”

R E S TA U R A N T R E V I E W by Ashley DeVane, Dominion Resident

THE POI N T PA RK & E AT S Just down Boerne Stage Road is San Antonio’s first family-and-pet friendly Texas ice house and food truck park — and it packs a punch! (If you aren’t a native Texan, “ice house” might make no sense to you. Ask a native!) These restaurants on wheels come and go and offer a variety of menu items ranging from gourmet sandwiches to Tex-Mex to creative burgers, Vietnamese, Chinese, Cuban cuisine and even more. The trucks vary daily so boredom is never considered. The open air bar is a great spot to try one of the 100 PLUS (!) craft beer offerings, wine or the delicious house-made sangria, and great margaritas. Some of the trucks available for us to try on this beautiful spring day included Pho-U Vietnamese & Chinese cuisine, Curb by Chef Jose, Gus’ Cuban Cuisine, Caliente Grill, and the Food Network’s featured restaurant, Crazy Carl’s Burgers. This made for such a different experience and fun afternoon! (By the way, the trucks change on occasion, so check their website.) Sitting in the community of Leon Springs, Point Park & Eats was founded by it’s owners in 2012 and is surrounded by beautiful shady oak trees, rugged landscaping, and a charming 1940’s rock cottage. As a testament to its family-friendly atmosphere, Rainbow playscapes and a basketball court give your kids the freedom to run and play while you sit back and relax under the shade trees or umbrellas. Pets are welcome (I took Baxter) and as you would expect, they must be leashed. Maybe this is our area’s first steps into being truly pet-friendly — the Point even has water bowls for your pets to keep hydrated! We discovered that many of these independently-owned and operated trucks offer catering and personal chef services. Think of it - your next big party would be catered right from your driveway with almost any cuisine you had a ‘hankering’ for. What a concept, your kitchen does not even have to get dirty! When the party is over, the truck closes up and drives away. Some of the foods we tried included fresh shrimp & lobster roll, soft shell crab BLT sandwich with truffle french fries, brisket 64

pho, teriyaki chicken with fried rice, empanadas de pollo, patacones rellenos, and Crazy Carl’s Luther. This burger is a 5 ounce griddle smashed angus beef patty with bacon and cheese served on a grilled glazed donut bun. Wow, I don’t know about the summer diet but it sure was something to experience! There is truly something for the entire family here, and the prices are very reasonable. The

Point offers such an unique experience that probably isn’t available anywhere else in San Antonio - all just five minutes from the front Dominion gates. I’m so happy to have finally experienced it and I will be back. Check out their website for a calendar of live music and food trucks that will be serving each open day or to book an event.
