Summer is almost over. Kids, it’s time to get up. And parents, that means it’s time to sign up—for lots of activities. Or is it? Soccer, basketball, softball, drum lessons, running club, and choir— and that’s just my 10-year-old after her school work is done. The same goes for my younger daughter who follows in her sister’s fast-paced footsteps. With roughly 85 percent of Carroll ISD kids enrolled in extracurricular activities, I know my family isn’t alone. Our kids don’t want to say no, and as parents, we’ve gone out of our way to make sure they don’t have to. But are we making the right decisions? Sure, I’m proud of my kids and I thoroughly enjoy watching them in action. They accomplish much through their extracurricular activities. They get exercise, build self-esteem, make friends, learn to follow directions, learn to lead and manage their time. These are all great skills for a productive adulthood that may one day revolve around their own children’s umpteen activities. My kids have also learned that prioritization is a must. Missing a practice—even to honor a commitment to a different activity—can be a punishable offense only rectified by time spent on the sidelines. So, unfortunately, my kids are also well versed in how to do homework, change clothes and eat dinner on the go. It got me thinking. Maybe the sidelines aren’t so bad? Maybe there is also something to be gained from sitting one out, taking a break and slowing things down? Flip to page 32 to read what some professionals have to say about kids and extracurricular activities. Also, consider family dinner. Did you know that the average dinnertime in the 1950s was 90 minutes? Today dinner is less than 12 minutes—and drive-through wait times do not count. Research also proves that kids who slow down enough for a sit-down family dinner at least three times a week eat healthier, perform better academically, are less likely to engage in risky behavior (drugs, alcohol, etc.) and have better relationships with their parents. Bingo! I believe that is what I ultimately want for my kids. And if that means one less activity a week, then sign me up.

READER: The article discussing the new Miata is a little misleading. “Lauded as the Guinness Book of World Records’ bestselling two-seat sports car ever.” They are approaching the 1,000,000th production car. It made me research other two-seat sports car production. I don’t know how Guinness missed the Chevrolet Corvette. Up to last month, they have produced 1,551,261 Corvettes. A little bit over the Miata’s 1,000,000 claim.
SOUTHLAKE STYLE : Per a press release from Mazda: As of July 2014, total production volume of the Mazda MX-5 exceeded 940,000 units and it continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the best-selling two-seater sports car. This highly celebrated model has received over 200 awards from around the globe including Japan Car of the Year 2005-2006.

EMOTION CARLY RAY JEPSEN AUGUST 24
Call Her an Instant-Hit Maker Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Carly Ray Jepsen, has already released her ’80s-inspired single from her third album, Emotion. “I Really Like You,” has been a hit, with more than 40 million views already. She earned 2012 Grammy nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year with “Call Me Maybe,” the hit single from her second album, Kiss. When she’s not writing or recording, Jepsen finds time to act. She spent much of last year starring in the Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.”
BRAINSTORM: THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF THE TEENAGE BRAIN DANIEL J. SIEGEL AUGUST 4
Where No Man Has (Wanted) to Go Before Whether you are a mom, dad or teacher, Brainstorm, published by Penguin, takes a closer look at the teenage brain. Before you immediately decide that is not a place you want to go, read on. Dr. Daniel Siegel explores the different ways you can communicate with your child or student between the ages of 12 and 24. Siegel explores “ways in which understanding how the brain functions can improve the lives of adolescents, making their relationships more fulfilling and less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.”
FANTASTIC FOUR IN THEATERS AUGUST 7
If Three’s Company, Four’s Fantastic Based on the Marvel comic book by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, this version of “Fantastic Four” takes a different approach to the plot line. Four young individuals teleport to another universe only to find that they have “powers” they must learn to use, which is a good thing because the universe they travel to is not the most pleasant – considering they have to defeat a former friend-turned-enemy.

CARROLL EDUCATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCED CHAIRS FOR ITS 2015 CULINARY CELEBRATION The Carroll Education Foundation (CEF) named Sarah Mason and Chuck Koskovich as co-chairs for the 2015 Culinary Celebration. This premiere CISD fundraising event, which will take place September 12 at the Southlake Hilton, supports every school in CISD. Mason, a CEF board member since 2010, served as the co-chair of the Culinary Celebration in 2014 and has also served on the Foundation’s scholarship and grant committees. Koskovich is an active CEF board member and is the incoming president for 2016. The theme for this year’s event is Dragons of the Caribbean: Building Treasures for CISD. It’s on track to have its biggest year ever. Make plans to join in the fun, food, and fundraising to benefit students and teachers in Carroll ISD.
SOUTHLAKE TEACHER HONORED AFTER ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO DIG DEEPER IN LANGUAGE ARTS The Southlake Association for Gifted and Talented (SAGT) supports Carroll Independent School District in efforts to promote and encourage the education of gifted and talented students and to advance academics in the district. To support the organization’s mission, SAGT offers a monthly Teacher Recognition Award. The program is designed to shine a light on classroom teachers who bring GT elements to the classroom or instruct students to think “outside the box.” In June, SAGT members presented Carroll ISD teacher Donna Clarrissimeaux with the Teacher Recognition Award. Clarrissimeaux teaches fourth grade at Walnut Grove Elementary School. Parents say she shows enthusiasm in the classroom and encourages students to “dig deeper” in language arts. Clarrissimeaux gives her student the option of writing, illustrating, and publishing a book while challenging each child to redefine their personal best. Clarrissimeaux has been a teacher for over 40 years and a Dragon for the past eight years.
SOUTHLAKE CARROLL WINS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE UIL LONE STAR CUP The Dragons have done it again – only this time in Conference 6A. For the sixth time and the fourth consecutive year, Southlake Carroll won a UIL Lone Star Cup, earning a total of 100 points. The Dragon boys golf, cross country, and swimming and diving teams each took home state championships while the girls cross-country team placed fourth at state. Southlake Carroll won district and regional championships in academics and had regional finalist teams in football and girls soccer. CARROLL JUNIOR WAS PERFECT ON SAT Carroll High School’s Nikhil Ravi, 16, heads into his senior year having achieved something so few can even fathom: a perfect score on the SAT. After strenuous practice, Ravi, 15 at the time, took the exam in October 2014. All there was left to do was wait. The results came in two weeks later and the rest is history. While it’s huge news for the district, the point really hit home with his parents. “Of course we are really proud of all his academic achievements,” said his father, Ravi Venugopal. “But we are equally proud of his well-rounded personality and his participation in a variety of extracurricular activities

TIMARRON RESIDENT PUT AN ITALIAN SPIN ON THE CLASSIC LEMONADE STAND Fifth-grade student Jeremy Kogan wanted to earn some additional spending money this summer, so he started his own business, Jeremy’s Italian Stand, selling espresso and San Pelligrino. He saved up and purchased the espresso maker, capsules, and espresso cups with his own money. Southlake residents could swing by his stand in Timarron to pick up a freshly made espresso or ice-cold San Pelligrino (available in limonata and aranciata flavors). Jeremy served up beverages to residents every weekend morning.
THE GODDARD SCHOOL IN SOUTHLAKE RAISED MONEY, DONATIONS FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN The Southlake location of The Goddard School, a high-quality early education school serving the DFW area, partnered with Vogel Alcove, a center in Dallas that offers child care to homeless children ranging from six weeks to five years old. The Goddard School held a donation drive leading up to and during their Spring Fling event in May. “In addition to teaching our students the importance of helping those less fortunate, our Southlake Goddard School raised over $1,500 and half a truck bed of in-kind donations,” owner Val Patel said. The donations included necessities such as clothing, diapers and car seats. The Goddard School also assembled 150 Bye Bye bags, which are given to children not guaranteed evening meals at the shelter.
MEET THE CARROLL GRAD SERVING AS TEXAS A&M’S MASCOT CORPORAL Ian Moss, a 2014 graduate of Carroll Senior High School, is Texas A&M’s Mascot Corporal for the 2015-16 academic year. This means that he’s in charge of Reveille, the university’s official mascot, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. According to Aggie Legend, Reveille came to Aggieland in 1931 and was initially not attended to by one person. But since 1960, Reveille has been under the care of a Mascot Corporal, a sophomore in Company E-2 in the Corps of Cadets. For the upcoming academic year, this Mascot Corporal is Carroll grad, Ian Moss. Click over to our site to read our Q&A with Moss.

SOPHOMORE DRAGON EARNED TWO STATE MEDALS Carroll sophomore distance runner Reed Brown made a significant impression at his first UIL State Track and Field meet in May, winning two Class 6A silver medals, according to MySouthlakeNews. “[My teammates] really helped push me this year to bigger expectations than I had for myself,” Brown said. “It really surprised me, because I had no idea I could do all of that as early as I did.” Brown finished second in the 3,200 meters and in the 1,600 meters. It has been a memorable year for Brown, according to the article. He also helped lead the Dragon cross-country team to the state title in the fall. “I’d like to thank everyone who’s supported me and the team on the way throughout the seasons,” he said. “It really helps having people just congratulating you and it gets you a little more feeling like you accomplished more than you did.”

ART IN THE SQUARE FUNDS MAILED TO BENEFICIARIES Checks totaling $190,000 were mailed to 26 beneficiaries of the 2015 Art in the Square. The Southlake Women’s Club reported that the event raised proceeds equal to the amount raised in 2014. That’s not a bad thing, considering the storms that rolled in on Friday and Sunday afternoon during Art in the Square. This year’s event drew more than 150 sponsors and over 800 adult and student volunteers who logged more than 4,800 hours of volunteer time. The Southlake Women’s Club is honored to help support the causes of these 26 charities in Northeast Tarrant County that help women, families, and children overcome daily challenges.

TOLLESON ORTHODONTICS Dr. Shane Tolleson is committed to serving the person behind the smile.
A
ccording to Dr. Shane Rex Tolleson, your smile is a lot more than two rows of teeth. It is one of your most valuable assets, yet freely given to those around you; it’s an expression that has the power to change lives, give hope, and break down walls of indifference; it’s an act that spreads joy to others while reinforcing your own. And that’s why, at Tolleson Orthodontics, treatment is about a lot more than straightening teeth. Every Smile Matters “Behind every smile is a person, and within every person is the potential for joy and happiness that is reflected by their smile,” he says. “This is what makes a smile so powerful and important, and this is why we choose to serve the person behind the smile. Every smile matters because people matter.” In fact, it is the idea “every smile matters” that drives Tolleson Orthodontics to provide the very best orthodontic care to each patient. Dr. Tolleson is an expert in treatment options like Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, as well as the latest in clear, metal, and self-ligating braces technologies for adults and children. He and his wonderful staff use only the highest quality and proven advanced technologies. He is unique in that he creates customized treatment plans for each and every patient. His practice definitely does not take a “one size fits all” approach. “My first priority when dealing with patients is to do what’s best for them and ask, ‘What if this was my daughter, mother, brother, etc.,’” he says. “I try to do my research and bring only the best, proven technologies to my practice that will best serve my patients.” He says, “When a patient, who was once too timid or embarrassed to show their smile, finishes treatment smiling boldly and confidently, I am reminded of why I love doing what I do.” Board Certified Orthodontist While all licensed dentists are technically allowed to perform orthodontic treatment, only 5-6 percent of dentists in the country are Orthodontists – having ADA-accredited university training in the specialty of tooth movement and alignment. Most patients choose to seek an orthodontic specialist for Invisalign or braces, just as they might seek a cardiologist for a heart condition or a dermatologist for skin treatments. In addition to being a Board Certified Orthodontist, Dr. Tolleson holds Diplomate status with The American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction that less than 50 percent of orthodontists achieve.

The Tolleson Family Way This time of year, one of Dr. Shane Tolleson’s favorite activities is rooting for his brother Shawn Tolleson, who is a pitcher for the Texas Rangers. The two siblings grew up in the DFW area and have always been close. Shane, the older of the two, used to bring Shawn along with him to all of his sports games as a kid. A couple of decades later, and now Shane is the one watching Shawn and admiring him for “the poise with which he handles the spotlight, and how he lives above reproach, not letting go of his core values and beliefs,” he says. It just so worked out that Shawn was traded to the Texas Rangers the same year Shane was opening his Southlake practice. Now they both live in the area with their growing families.

Southlake is not only home to Tolleson Orthodontics, but to Dr. Tolleson’s family. He calls Southlake “a wonderful place to ‘do life.’” When he’s not at the office or the ballpark, he enjoys playing the guitar and singing on the worship team at their church with his wife, Anna Lee. If that’s not enough, they also have their hands full with two daughters both under the age of 2. Of course, the whole family loves watching Uncle Shawn play baseball at Globe Life Park. These two brothers’ professions may seem very different, but there is one obvious similarity: both elicit smiles.

BUSINESS PROFILE
ALLSTATE INSURANCE AGENCY Mark Jameson is protecting those who protect the tradition.
L
ongtime Southlake resident Mark Jameson and his family have a great understanding of their community, and along with this understanding comes an extra level of devotion helping friends and neighbors protect what’s important to them. By getting personally involved with the Carroll Independent School District, local sports organizations, as well as his church, Mark takes great pride in working hand-in-hand with his community. With more than 15 years of experience as an exclusive Allstate agent, Mark has built a highly successful business through the same level of dedication to his customers. A World-Class Leader Among the nearly 13,000 agents representing Allstate, Mark is an undeniable leader as a 12-time Elite Producer who manages the largest agency group in the state of Texas. Due to his performance and solid reputation, Mark was appointed an inaugural member of Allstate’s National Advisory Board, advising senior executives on field issues that face other agents around the country. He’s also a member of the Agency Executive Council, which reports directly to the president and chairman of the organization. There are only 18 members of this particular council in the country. Whether advising corporate executives or his own North Texas-based representatives, Mark wants his customers to have the best experience possible. “We strive to deliver world-class customer service,” Mark says. “It’s hard to put into words other than you know it when you experience it. We want our customers to know it every time they interact with us.” Serving his Southlake neighbors for more than 15 years, Mark also extends his helping hands at three other Allstate locations in Burleson, Cleburne and Colleyville. Through his dedication to community service at these four locations, Mark ranks among the top agents in the country. He has received the Ray Lynch Community Service Award for the Texas Region, which recognizes a top Allstate agent’s outstanding relationships and spirit of volunteerism. His organization earned the Inner Circle designation, the top level of performance distinction given by Allstate. Mark has been recognized by the global association, Million Dollar Round Table, six times in his 15-year career, and has been given the Allstate Chairman’s Award seven times. The determination to provide world-class service is what sets the Allstate team apart from others.
Mark Jameson, Allstate Agency Owner
“We never put a limit on great service because we strongly believe there is no limit,” Mark says of his team. Any one of his nearly 9,000 households can vouch that Mark’s hard work pays off — customers regularly comment on how great it is to put their trust in a company and feel completely taken care of, especially when Allstate’s mission is to protect what matters most. In fact, the agency has also been recognized by its customers and has received eighteen “Best Of” awards over the past eight years. Encouraging the Tradition Like many proud Carroll Dragons, Mark is a big sports fan. He’s been not only a player but also a coach, former president of the Southlake Baseball Association, a supporter of the Southlake Girls Softball Association, and an avid follower of all things Texas A&M. “I love any chance I get to cheer on our Dragons as they compete to protect the tradition,” says Mark, who attributes his own history in sports to developing the qualities that have empowered him to achieve success in life. Because of his commitment to his community and its greatest performers, he founded the Mark Jameson Allstate Scholar-Athlete of the Month program at Southlake Carroll’s Senior High School. Each month during the school year, the program gives a $500 scholarship to Carroll student-athletes whom Jameson calls “good kids who make good grades.” Since its inception seven years ago, the program has recognized 63 student-athletes with more than $30,000 worth of scholarships. “All it takes to have the opportunity of earning this scholarship is a trip to the counselor’s office to fill out a form,” Mark explains. “And don’t worry — you don’t have to be a future Aggie to be selected.”

Relationships Make the Difference In all aspects of life, building strong relationships comes naturally to Mark. “We have a strong dedication to working with customers on a personal level,” Mark says. “You won’t have to punch a bunch of numbers to speak to someone. You’ll get a live voice when you call us.” Mark prides himself on working for a company that treats customers with respect. “We never let anyone leave our offices feeling unsure or uninformed.” Mark thoroughly enjoys interacting with and getting to know his customers in an effort to find the best policies for their lifestyle. Married for 29 years to his college sweetheart, Nicole, the Texas A&M Aggie alums have three children: Macey, a sophomore at LSU; Laramie, a TCU Ph.D.; and Brock, a Texas A&M graduate now working in the corporate offices of Allstate. As a family man, Mark relates to the importance of protecting his customers’ valuables through home and automobile coverage, and more importantly, protecting and providing for those they love through life insurance. Someone Who Really Cares In Southlake, finding neighbors who take pride in their community isn’t hard. In Mark Jameson, Southlake is fortunate to have not only an award-winning insurance agent, but also a Vestryman (think board member) and senior warden (think board chair) at his Southlake church, St. Laurence, and a big time sports booster who cares. Always serving with a smile, Mark’s stand is to provide great service and coverage for both his customers’ assets and most importantly, their loved ones.

Are Kids BUSY? PROFESSIONALS WEIGH IN. By Audrey Sellers
B
usy is the new black, and everybody wants to be in style. But it’s no longer just adults who lead fast-paced, frenetic lives – kids are busier than ever. Nearly six in 10 children participate in extracurricular activities, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and three out of four American families with school-aged children have at least one playing an organized sport – a total of about 45 million kids, according to the Boston Globe. In Southlake, accolades are a testament to just how much kids are invested in academics and extracurricular activities. Carroll just made history as the first district in newly formed Class 6A to win the 2015 UIL Lone Star Cup. This award is bestowed annually to six high schools – one in each of the six UIL classifications – with the state’s best academic and athletic programs. Flip to page 38, and you’ll find our “Five Ones to Watch” story on exceptional incoming Carroll seniors. Clearly, a lot of kids have a lot going on – and they’re excelling in what they do. Kids are busy, certainly, but are they too busy? It depends. “There is some evidence that having activities to do, especially if parents are not around, is really beneficial for youth – particularly in early adolescence,” says Amy R. Murrell, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of North Texas. “However, if a five-year-old, who could be having dinner with her parents and siblings, is instead at art class on Monday evenings, dance on Tuesdays, gymnastics on Wednesdays, and so on, that might be a different story.” AUGUST 15 • 33
The Benefits of Being Busy Being busy sometimes gets a bad rap, but there are many upsides to kids staying active. They can explore different interests, engage with other kids, develop social skills, and uncover their natural interests and talents. They also learn how to effectively manage their time – a skill they’ll no doubt need in adulthood. Because they’ll be so busy, of course. “Time-management skills are important as children progress into adolescence and beyond,” says Kristy S. Hagar, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist in Colleyville who works with children, adolescents and adults. “Having a family model of how to appropriately manage a variety of tasks and activities – as well as learning when to recognize when it becomes too much – is a good lifelong skill to learn.” And then there’s the old expression: Idle hands are the devil’s playground. When kids are busy, they have less time to get in trouble. Female highschool athletes are 92 percent less likely to get involved with drugs and 80 percent less likely to get pregnant than non-athletes, according to the Women’s Sports Foundation. There are benefits from an academic standpoint, too. Kids who participate in extracurricular activities have a 15percent higher classroom attendance rate than students who are not involved, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Students who don’t miss classes are more likely to have a higher GPA, and thus have improved college opportunities. The benefits just keep piling up. But, so can the downsides.
When Busy Becomes Bad If kids are overscheduled – when they’re booked down to the half-hour with classes and extracurricular activities in a neverending cycle of busyness – something has got to give. Most often, it’s sleep. “Kids end up delaying their bedtime to get their schoolwork done after they’ve done their extracurricular activities, and they end up short sleeping – not getting enough sleep every night,” says William T. Goldman, M.D., P.A., of Southlake Psychiatric & Counseling Center. “This creates a cumulative sleepdeprivation effect.” Kids need sleep, and when they’re not getting adequate rest on a regular basis, it negatively impacts every aspect of their lives. They’re moody. They can’t concentrate. They forget things. Kids are just like adults who are sleep-deprived – only their bodies are still growing and need that rest. “Sleep is such an important factor because it can impair the regulation of the secretion of growth hormone, which is important for kids going through puberty. You want them to reach their full height potential,” Dr. Goldman says. “And from a mental health perspective, kids just need time to chill out and
34 • AUGUST 15
do nothing. They need to give their brains a bit of a vacation at times.” Everybody needs a break – especially kids. When they go nonstop and they’re expected to perform at the highest levels academically and in their extracurricular pursuits, the stress can take a toll. “If overscheduling leads to an increase in stress, you might see fewer resources to cope with other daily hiccups that are part of life,” Dr. Hagar says. “That may result in feelings of being chronically overwhelmed, which may increase anxiety. In more extreme cases, significant anxiety or mood problems might arise.” It’s important to remember that kids are just that – kids. They’re not meant to be “on” all the time. “As kids get into adolescence, they need down time. Their bodies are changing, and they need time to rest, relax and recharge their batteries just like we do,” says Erica Zwernemann, M.D., a pediatrician with Southlake Family Medicine. “When kids aren’t getting adequate rest, it really does impact their health.” Elementary-age kids should clock nine to 10 hours of sleep at night, she says, and highschool kids need at least seven or eight hours. Sleep isn’t the only thing that takes a hit when kids’ schedules start to stack up. Family time can also suffer when kids are overbooked. “That’s one of the worst things I see about overscheduling,” says Dr. Zwernemann. “The more things that are going on, the more it pulls families away from family dinner – from spending time together.” Sixty years ago, the average family dinner was 90 minutes. Today, it’s less than 12 minutes, according to the Six O’ Clock Scramble, a site that helps busy families connect at the dinner table. Nearly everyone is feeling the dinnertime crunch. A poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health found that 46 percent of survey respondents say eating together is difficult to do on a regular basis. But the benefits of family dinners are huge. Kids who share family dinners three or more times per week are less likely to be overweight and engage in risky behaviors, according to the Journal of Adolescent Health. They’re more likely to eat healthy foods and perform better academically. And, perhaps the best benefit, they have better relationships with their parents. “Research has consistently demonstrated that families who spend time together, such as committing to family meals at least a few times a week, tend to cope better with life’s daily demands,” Dr. Hagar says. Going Full-Throttle Rhonda Gruenewald knows what it’s like to have a family that’s always on the go. This Southlake mom has four athletes: Taylor (20), Payton (19), Brayden (18) and Mitchell (14). Though life
SOUTHLAKE STYLE
is less hectic now that she only has two kids living at home, Gruenewald and her family have learned how to embrace being busy. She and her husband, Trevor, started their kids in organized sports when each child was three years old. Over the years, their kids participated in a number of sports and extracurricular activities: gymnastics, soccer, tee ball, piano, scouts, and religious education, just to name a few. “I like to call our lives ‘happy chaos.’ We would sometimes have over 30 games in one weekend,” she says. “It was insane. The amount of gas we would go through in the DFW area was crazy. We always did our best to divide and conquer, and have one of us at each game.” Gruenewald uses a Mac calendar to keep everyone organized. She color-codes each family member, and when she adds an event, it goes directly on to that person’s calendar. She includes all the need-to-know information: address, directions, jersey color, and any other important details. She feels blessed to have moved to Southlake six years ago. “This area has so much talent, and so many wonderful coaches and teachers who have helped our kids excel,” she says. Taylor plays indoor and sand volleyball at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Payton plays soccer at Mississippi State. Brayden is an incoming Carroll senior who plays indoor and sand volleyball, and plays defense on the Carroll varsity volleyball team. Mitchell, an incoming Carroll freshman, has played a variety of sports as a Dragon and was most recently the District Champion in pole vault. “We are a very close family and we have always maintained four core priorities in our lives: faith, family, fitness and work – schoolwork or sports teams,” Gruenewald says. “Due to our schedules, we find time for very little else. But for us, it’s all been worth it. We have loved every minute of it and have had a lot of fun along the way.”
Finding Balance That’s what matters. If kids are enjoying their extracurricular involvement, it can be an incredibly enriching experience – for kids and their families. “Everything in moderation is the key,” says Dr. Hagar. “So many activities and a variety of sports are available to both boys and girls at younger and younger ages – and that can be very positive.” It all comes down to balance. Families need together time, and kids need down time in order to thrive. If the scale tips too heavily towards being busy, it may be time to reprioritize. “Take a good assessment of your core values as a family,” suggests Dr. Goldman. “Think about how you can arrange your time to allow an optimal balance of activities, rest and relaxation, and family bonding.” When kids’ schedules are so jam-packed, it may indeed be “happy chaos,” as Gruenewald puts it. But as long as there’s an element of happy in all the busyness, being busy isn’t so bad. SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

Drew Brown Dallas Summer Musicals Best Actor Nominee ABOUT DREW: The first role Drew Brown remembers playing required him to be dressed up in a giant pizza costume. He’s come a long way. Recently, Brown returned from an Italy performance tour with his choir and is currently in two shows at OhLook Theatre, where he plays Valjean in Les Miserables and Tunny in American Idiot. Brown began taking acting classes when he was seven and learned how to combine his love of acting with his love of piano. These passions allow him to show people things that cannot be said with words alone. Brown has been nominated as Best Actor for his role as Tarzan in CSHS’s Tarzan at the 2015 Dallas Summer Musicals Awards. He has also had two honorable mentions in UIL One Act Zone and District 5A Competitions. In addition to performing at CSHS, Brown has performed at various theatres across the Metroplex.

Christie Ballew Carroll Medical Academy President ABOUT CHRISTIE: Christie Ballew has always felt a passion for art in her heart. Making art gives her the ability to create and organize her thoughts. Upon taking high school art classes, she realized she never wanted to stop making art. Art is not Ballew’s only passion; she’s always wanted to be a doctor. She was elected the Carroll Medical Academy’s (CMA) Student Board President, which keeps her busy organizing CMA events. She’s also a member of National Honor Society (NHS) and Mu Alpha Theta. Ballew’s art has been exhibited at two VASE State Competitions, where she received the highest award, as well as at Art in the Square and several school shows. Soon, some of her pieces will be permanently showcased at a local pediatric clinic, connecting her two passions. FAVORITE CLASS: “AP Chemistry,” Ballew says. “In combination with my art class, I felt like I was being challenged at all fronts. AP Chem is often labeled as one of the most difficult high school courses, and I’m happy to have gained the experience from succeeding in a difficult class.” WHAT OTHERS SAY: “Christie is a dedicated student who understands the exploratory challenge of art,” Art Teacher Eric Horn says. “While [her pieces] are from a personal viewpoint, they allude to situations that are universal. Her work is comfortably accessible and compellingly understandable.”
42
Will Nathman First Chair Saxophone Carroll Jazz Band ABOUT WILL: Will Nathman has been surrounded by music his entire life.

SOUTHLAKE TENNIS CENTER Tennis is the sport of a lifetime, and at Southlake Tennis Center, players develop the athletic skills, concentration, sportsmanship, discipline and selfreliance to excel at the sport and play at the top of their game. Studies show that junior tennis players have better grades and more self-esteem than players of team sports. Tennis is a great compliment to other sports, developing both foot-eye and hand-eye coordination while teaching players problem-solving skills. At Southlake Tennis Center, we use the USTA player development program so players have more success as they learn. Our certified teaching staff uses a structured curriculum that focuses on the individual development of each player. We work with both recreational players who want to have fun playing tennis and serious competitive players who are seeking a college scholarship.

A Study of the Classics BURBERRY’S KORBIN CHECK PRINT BAG

one are the days of Trapper Keepers and Jansport backpacks. The items you looked forward to buying as a teenager for back to school have no place in today’s shopping carts. Instead, your kids are looking for back to school clothes and accessories fit for the catwalk. How many of you seem to learn more from your kids about fashion than you do from your peers? To say this generation is fashion savvy is an understatement. Although focused on academics, your teenager still has a desire to look good. So don’t be surprised when your son’s eyes lock in on the Korbin check print bag from Burberry. You may never know why the bag caught his attention in the first place, but what you will notice is his limited vocabulary about it. He thinks it’s cool. He likes the color. His books will fit. And then you will leave Nordstrom with a new school bag.
The Korbin check print bag features the classic Burberry pattern that made the brand famous. But he’ll like the fact that it’s navy and manly. It is accented with a woven-jute, dark leather trim. But he’ll feel like it’s sturdy enough to carry around his books, spirals and binders full of syllabi. There’s a belted-flap patch pocket in the front perfect for calculators and pens. But he’ll be glad there is a place for his cell phone and earbuds. A hidden back zipper allows access to the interior compartment for easy access to his school notes. But he’ll think it’s a great place to sneak in all those love notes he collects but doesn’t tell you about. And finally, you will be sold when you see that the easily adjustable shoulder straps are made from felt-padded leather. After all, these comfortable straps make it easy to carry around his school necessities up and down all those hallways. And with this feature, your thoughts will be in sync with your son’s. (Treasure this, parents. It won’t happen often.)

On the Road Again Retired from executive and other high-level careers, these Southlake residents-turned bus drivers are taking a new route in life. By Amy Reisner Photography by Jamie Handy
CISD school bus driver, Jerry Hon
R
etirement is what you make of it, and depending on whom you ask, coming out of retirement could be the best part. Take retiree Jerry Hon for example. He’s a school bus driver for Carroll ISD. Jerry landed his first job out of college with a major oil company, now known as Citgo. He was selected to be part of a three-man team working with IBM engineers to assist with debugging the first IBM 360 COBOL compiler and programming language. Jerry moved on to work with a start-up computer output service company for 23 years, beginning as a systems programmer and retiring as EVP of Field Operations. At that point, as Jerry puts it, life without the office hours sounded great. “But after a couple of months of nothing challenging to do, it became apparent that retirement was not for me,” he says. Coming out of retirement, Jerry became the EVP of International Operations with 10,000 employees spread around the world. And after seven years in that position, he was once again thrown back into retirement. Fortunately for him, another opportunity came up that would once again bring him back into the fold. He was told he wouldn’t be a VP of any sort, but there would still be travel involved. However, this job would only take him around the block and up the corner a few times – a far cry from around the world. Jerry is a school bus driver for the Carroll ISD Transportation Department, and according to him, it’s the best job he’s ever had.
Why Southlake? School bus drivers in Southlake come from all different walks of life. Most other school districts employ bus drivers who have made a career of it. Southlake is different, Jerry says. “We are a bunch of people from different backgrounds who all happen to enjoy driving school buses post-retirement.” But Southlake wasn’t a random destination for these empty nesters looking for a little more than timeshares and RV resorts. These career men and women turned school bus drivers had been part of the Southlake community for years.
“One of the reasons I chose to be a bus driver is that Southlake has been part of our lives for so many years,” Jerry says. “My girls went through the school system, and my wife was a volunteer at the school. Carroll has been such a big part of our lives for so many years, and I like the people and the kids in the school system.” “Southlake kids are special. Other drivers come in from other districts and tell stories we couldn’t even dream up. We have a pretty good clientele,” he adds. Taking on the role of a bus driver is more about the benefits that can’t be calculated on a ledger. Jerry, who transports students in kindergarten through eighth grade, said he wouldn’t have it any other way. “It is a wonderful and very fulfilling job. I am thankful for every day I get to spend with my young friends. You can only imagine the joy I have watching them as they grow up.” For other drivers, such as Jim and Ginger Murray who drive for junior and senior high school students, it’s more about building relationships with the students which allows them to be a positive influence on Southlake youth.
Meet the Murrays He goes by Mr. Jim, Mr. Murray or Mr. Bus Driver Man, but no matter how you address him, he’ll know your name soon enough. “I memorize the students’ names in two to three weeks,” Jim says. “Once they realize that I take the time to know their names, they have more respect for me and respond better. “They teach us in orientation to greet each student coming on and going off the bus. You never know what kind of day they are having,” Jim recalls. “So I make it a point to shake hands with each and every one of them.” Nine years ago, Jim started driving a school bus for Carroll when a friend told him he might enjoy it as a part-time job. It didn’t take Jim long to become hooked. But this transportation gig would be nothing like what he experienced in his 34year career with Ford Motor Company. Shortly after graduating from Lewisville High School in 1967, Jim was hired by the Ford Motor Company Parts Division in Carrollton. He began his career as a warehouse employee but was quickly promoted to management. “Before Ford’s move to the Alliance Airport area in 2003, I was responsible for the maintenance of more than 500,000 square feet of buildings, including 100 pieces of riding equipment such as forklifts and a complex retrieval system much like what you’d see at the dry cleaners,” Jim says. It was in anticipation of the company’s
“One of the reasons I chose to be a bus driver is that Southlake has been part of our lives for so many years.” -Jerry Hon move to the Alliance Corridor that Jim and his family moved to Southlake in 2000. After his retirement, Jim recalls his accountant suggesting a part-time job wouldn’t be a bad idea to supplement he and his wife’s retirement income. That’s about the time he was introduced to the Carroll ISD Transportation Department. Jim enjoyed driving a school bus so much that after the first year he talked his wife Ginger into taking it on as her part-time job as well. “When they asked me if I would be interested in driving the bus for students with special needs, I was not sure at first,” Ginger says. “But after a week I knew this is where I wanted to be. These kids are so neat, and they just light up the room.” Jim and his wife were youth counselors for six years at First United Methodist Church in Richardson, where they lived prior to moving to Southlake. “The time we spent working with kids at the church, is really what prepared us for interacting with the students on our bus routes,” Ginger says. “We can really relate to them.” According to Jim, when he was a teenager all he cared about were “hot rods and girls.” But his experiences as a bus driver for junior and senior high school students has continued to open his eyes to this generation. “I like driving the older kids because it keeps us plugged in to young people. Usually all you hear is the bad stuff about teenagers, but these kids are pretty cool,” Jim says. “I’ve been driving high school students for eight of my nine years with the district, and I am proud to say our future is in good hands.” Jim may be referring to the students he drives each day to and from school, but if the care and attention expressed by the bus drivers as a whole is true —Southlake parents know their children are in good hands, as well.

As people grow older, they experience drooping or sagging eyelids and for that reason, eyelid lift surgery has become very popular.

What exactly is a Power of Attorney, and do I really need one? Yes you really need one! Actually, there are two kinds of powers of attorney (POA) that everyone should have as part of their estate plan: a medical power of attorney and a statutory durable power of attorney. A medical POA allows the person you appoint (your “agent”) to make medical decisions for you in the event you cannot make them yourself. A statutory durable POA allows you to appoint an agent to manage your affairs and make decisions on your behalf—i.e, banking, business transactions, and tax matters. You can choose to make this POA effective immediately or in the event you become disabled/incapacitated.

A Bird in the Hand EXQUISITE FOOD MEETS AN EASY-GOING FEEL AT CLAY PIGEON
CLAY PIGEON 2731 White Settlement Rd. Ft. Worth, TX 75206 817.882.8065 ClayPigeonFD.com
68 • AUGUST 15
On the west side of Ft. Worth, just outside of downtown, lies Chef Marcus Paslay’s upscale restaurant, Clay Pigeon Food and Drink. As its name suggests, Clay Pigeon evokes a trendy, modern vibe mixed with a sense of the casual, the rustic, the great outdoors. According to Paslay, excellent food you can eat in your blue jeans makes for the best meal. This atmosphere translates to the mission of the restaurant: To provide quality cuisine in a comfortable and personal setting. Paslay and his team make almost everything in-house and from scratch, from producing their own bread and ice cream to butchering their own meats. What they can’t produce themselves, they source locally. It’s a product-driven establishment, meaning its menu constantly changes to reflect the most local, organic, and seasonal ingredients. This type of restaurant feel makes sense with Paslay’s personal story. He grew up in Arlington with a passion for hunting and harvesting (hence
the restaurant’s name) that later translated into a deep appreciation for food. After graduating from culinary school in 2006, Paslay and his wife, Emily, travelled around the country, which further sharpened his culinary techniques. Paslay has prepared fresh seafood in Alaska and butchered fresh meat on the Big Island in Hawaii. Most recently, he was executive chef for Neighborhood Services in Dallas. It is clear Paslay does not shy away from food-related experimentation. “It’s always been a dream to own and operate a restaurant, so it was the end goal for a long time,” Paslay says. “When my wife and I moved to Texas, we looked hard at making it a reality.” It became a reality in December 2013 when the restaurant opened for business. Since then, only one item has consistently stayed on the menu: the mussels. Made with leek, fennel, house-made bacon, white wine, garlic and pancetta, this is the chef’s go-to small plate and a customer favorite. The menu is fairly short, but it covers all the

bases. There are typically some small plates including some simple salads, as well as more elaborate dishes –foie gras torchon and fire-roasted bone marrow have been offered in the past. When it comes to large plates, you really get a feel for the restaurant’s focus on fresh ingredients. Out of six entrees (three change daily), there’s a new house-made pasta, fresh catch, and prime cut every day. Additionally, Paslay cooks many meats over a wood fire using oak or mesquite to give them a smoky flavor customers love. This summer, the menu boasts lots of fresh watermelon and other seasonal favorites. The compressed watermelon salad with heirloom tomatoes, ham, and white balsamic vinaigrette is not to be missed. Clay Pigeon also plans to bring back duck and scallops to pair with corn, which is at its peak this season. Moving on to drinks, you’re sure to find above and beyond what you expected – no matter your drink of choice. The wine menu is extensive, and the cocktail menu is well developed and unique. Recently, sous chef Peter Kreidler began a new program at the restaurant, creating out-of-the-box craft cocktails. This process includes making house bitters, tinctures, syrups and shrubs, which change seasonally. A staple cocktail at the Clay Pigeon is called the Patio Pounder. It’s a combination of TX Whiskey, muddled pineapple, lemon verbena and mint, lemon juice and house-made orange bitters. Paslay and his team pride themselves on giving customers a personal experience. According to Paslay, it’s what makes the Clay Pigeon unique. “It’s a little different than your mainstream place,” he says. “It’s not a chain restaurant. It’s my restaurant. I’m here all the time. I’m here to take care of customers.” Whether you’re an age-old foodie looking for a delectable meal or a newbie to the fine-dining scene looking for a nice, rustic atmosphere to chat with friends, you won’t need to look far. So shimmy into your favorite pair of jeans, open your mind to an ever-adapting menu, and head over to the Clay Pigeon for a truly once in a lifetime meal.

Get ’Em While They’re Haute Central Market’s annual Hatch Chile Festival blazes into its 20th year. Calling all pepper people! Central Market’s 20th Annual Hatch Chile Festival is heating up to be the best one yet. It will take place August 5 through August 18 at all nine Central Market locations across Texas. Here’s a quick Hatch history for you. Twenty years ago, a single Hatch chile roaster arrived at the Central Market in Austin with a pallet of peppers. Within 10 minutes of roasting them, customers were lining up for a taste of the action. Now, the Hatch Chile Festival has become one of Central Market’s most beloved traditions. These green gems get their name from their origin— Hatch, New Mexico. More than 125 tons of peppers are trucked in from the village of Hatch to the various Central Market locations for the yearly festival. The festival has gotten so much attention that in 2013, the New Mexico Tourism Department declared this Hatch Chile Fest the most authentic Hatch festival outside of New Mexico. This year marks Central Market’s 20th event. No one in Texas has been roasting peppers as long as it has, according to Heather Senter, the media contact for DFW locations. She says the Central Market Partners who roast the peppers have more than 120 combined years of experience in the art. An art it is. Central Market’s online guidelines that allow anybody to become an expert roaster include instructions on how to pick the perfect pepper (look for the bright green color, symmetrical shape, heavy weight, and smooth but firm skin) as well as methods for roasting, removing the skins, and freezing for year-round Hatch hoarding. If you’re a little less adventurous but still love the Hatch taste, Central Market has you covered. The store creates more than 100 Hatch specialty items for purchase during the festival, from baked goods to cheeses and more. Hatch items not to be missed this year include the Green and Blue Burger, made with Hatch peppers and blue cheese; Chicken with Hatch Tamale Cheddar Stuffing; Creamy Hatch Lime Cheesecake; Hatch Chile Ice Cream in two new flavors; and Schaller & Weber Hatch Smoked Sausage. With so much tradition behind these precious peppers and new Hatch items to try each year, it’s clear why the Hatch Chile Festival has become a true pepper-phile’s dream. Head on over to Central Market and prepare to smell Hatch chiles roasting all over Southlake.

A Popsicle a Day This hospital chef gets creative at his Grapevine business, HipPop.
The slushes are made the same way, but each slush is customizable. That means you can do some experimenting yourself by getting different fruit purees and flavors layered in. The husband and wife team change their flavors regularly, and the loyal locals that frequent the shop offer feedback. HipPop also offers catering. Most recently, Bates and Gurung have purchased a food truck, in addition to their two push carts, to expand their catering opportunities. “Every year we do a little more,” Bates says. “Give us a try. I think we have something for everyone. Everybody leaves with something they like.” Whether you’re looking for a sweet treat to relieve the summer heat or want to flex your experimentation muscles, you can be sure you’ll be hip with your pop at HipPop.

Ben Bates has been working as a hospital chef manager for the past several years. But in 2010, he channeled his culinary expertise and years of training into developing his take on one of summer’s favorite treats: popsicles. In 2013, he and his wife, Rosy Gurung, opened HipPop, an all-natural popsicle, slush and shaved ice joint on Main Street in downtown Grapevine. While Bates works at Baylor Trophy Club, Gurung runs the shop. Although Bates likes the flexible hours at the hospital – Monday through Friday, breakfast and lunch – his true passion lies in mixing up flavorful concoctions at HipPop. “Since I’m working at a hospital, I don’t get to play as much as I would like,” Bates says. “This lets me be creative and come up with stuff. That’s what I like about running the shop – the freedom to play and do whatever I want to do as far as flavors go.” And play he does. Pop flavors on the menu include Busta Lime (Jalapeño Cucumber Lime), Insane in the Membrane (Mango Habanero), and Tribe Called Zest (Blueberry Lemonade). Bates and his friends, as well as some local customers, have created the pops’ fun names over the years. However, HipPop also offers flavors for the tamer pop lover. According to Bates, Cookies and Cream and the MC Nana (Mango Coconut Banana) are both popular picks, especially with children. Also on the pop menu: Ice Ice Berry (Strawberry Lemonade) and Piña Colada (Pineapple Coconut Lime). The process of creating these summer treats is important to Bates and Gurung. They are constantly bringing in fresh, local produce to juice or puree. Then they add simple syrup made with organic sugar and filtered water. “We have a machine that freezes it in 17 minutes – so really fast,” Bates says. “The faster you can freeze it, the better the texture will be.” As for the shaved ice, HipPop offers a wide variety of both natural shaved ice, made with fruit puree, organic sugar and filtered water, as well as traditional Hawaiian shaved ice.

The Boys are Back in Town The Dallas Cowboys take on the Minnesota Vikings.
H
ow ’bout them Cowboys? After a rainy spring and a long, hot summer, it’s finally time to dust off those jerseys and head to Jerry World to celebrate the start of a brand-new season. And nothing showcases the anticipation of this fresh start more than the first home preseason game, setting the stage for re-energized fans, playoff hopes and Super Bowl dreams. Following two away games against the San Diego Chargers and the San Francisco 49ers, Jason Garrett’s crew will finally head home to Arlington to take on the Minnesota Vikings during Week 3 of the preseason.
76 • AUGUST 15
Another reason to anticipate the game is the return of infamous #28, running back Adrian Peterson. He missed almost a full season with the Minnesota Vikings last year and was rumored to be trading in his Vikings jersey for a Cowboys’ one just a few months ago. He’s chosen to continue donning purple for now, but we’ll be proudly wearing our blue and white, cheering on our favorite NFL team from first down to touchdown with shouts of “Let’s Go Cowboys” that will be heard from Dallas all the way to Minneapolis.

From hopeless romantic to hope-filled star, we’ve come to appreciate Sheeran’s multi-faceted style. And it doesn’t look like we’re alone here. DETAILS Toyota Stadium September 5

Move Over PB&J: Your Child’s Lunch Box, Revisited The DOS and DON’TS for packing a healthy lunch for your child this year. In the age of gluten-free galore, kale on every menu, and the FDA’s recent demand that food companies eliminate trans fats within three years, America is clearly immersed in an unprecedented health frenzy. But the reality is, we are also busier than ever. As a result, your child’s lunch box may be the last thing you get to – or want to, for that matter – spend time on. We’ve got you covered with some quick dos and don’ts when it comes to packing easy, nutritious, and fun lunches for your kiddos this year.
DO EDUCATE YOURSELF When it comes to nutrition, it seems like there’s always another new ingredient to fear. But getting educated on the basics isn’t so hard, and it makes for wiser choices at the grocery store. Generally, avoid things like artificial flavors, preservatives, enriched wheat, high fructose corn syrup, and hydrogenated oils. Always check the nutrition information and look for low-fat, whole grains and low sodium. Many processed cereal bars, crackers and frozen food can be misleading.
DON’T SET YOUR KIDS UP FOR A LUNCHTIME DISASTER Try to steer clear of anything smelly (like tuna or egg salad) that would be off-putting to your child’s lunchtime companions. Avoid packing foods that spoil easily, as your kid’s lunch probably goes all morning with no refrigeration. And if you’re going to pack liquids in a thermos or container, make sure to close it tightly or your kid could end up with lunchbox soup.
DO AMP UP THE CREATIVITY If there’s anything to attract a kid to food, it’s fun. Using cookie cutters, cut sandwiches into different shapes, or use a whole-wheat tortilla or a pita pocket every once in a while instead of traditional bread. Try something new by putting berries on small skewers or toothpicks, and stick on a few marshmallows (we won’t judge!) for some added flair. Instead of going for packaged trail mix, hop on the DIY bandwagon and create a big batch of healthy mix containing snacks like air-popped popcorn, wholewheat crackers, and a variety of nuts (avoid peanuts since your child could be near someone with an allergy).
DO KEEP IT LOCAL If you’re fresh out of ideas by Friday, don’t send your kid through the cafeteria line at school. Swing by one of the many quick restaurants in the area for some healthy, packable options. Our favorites include Zoe’s Kitchen, Café Express, Snappy Salads, Nekter and MyFitFoods. Zoe’s has lots of healthy kids’ meals like grilled chicken tenders with fruit. Grab a Snap Wrap from Snappy Salads for easy packing, or swing by MyFitFoods for low-calorie, high-protein selections. With local options like these, packing a nutritious lunchbox is easier than ever. SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM
These modifications won’t have your child suddenly craving a quinoa and kale salmon salad with lemon vinaigrette. But hopefully with these tips in mind, you’re better prepared to cook up some new ideas when it comes to healthy lunchbox fare. And you might even have fun doing it. AUGUST 15 • 81

Texas End-of-Summer Trip THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF SAN ANTONIO
R
emind yourself that school is still out for summer when you read this issue of Southlake Style in early August, and it’s not too late to take a quick trip within the Texas borders. Make plans to head south – but not too far – to San Antonio, located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. From caves and orchards to sky-high dining, we literally searched high and low for some unique things to see and do in the Alamo City. Pack your bags and load the kids in the car; it’s time for a San Antonio stroll.
Your New “High”–deout Let’s start at the top. Your quick trip to San Antonio is just that – quick. So you don’t really have time to experience everything. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have the time to see everything. Tower of the Americas puts you 750 feet above street level and gives you a panoramic view of the city. When your relatives or friends ask you if you saw the Alamo on your trip, you can honestly say “yes.” They don’t have to know it was while you were eating at the revolving restaurant Chart House located in the Tower. Landry’s does its best to treat you to some exquisite cuisine. No Tower visit is complete without the 4D theater ride, Skies Over Texas. ToweroftheAmericas.com

Not Just for Grapes Just south of San Antonio is Sandy Oaks Olive Orchard. Owned and operated by Saundra C. (Sandy) Winokur, the orchard is best known for its olive trees, olive oil and the various olive oil and olive leaf-based skincare products. With 11,000 olive trees planted among the massive live oaks dotting the property, the main orchard covers a 40-acre tract of the ranch. In the mood to plant your own orchard? Holding up to 10,000 or more olive seedlings and shoots at any one time, the nursery is full of olive seedlings and shoots available for purchase. One of the first commercial olive orchards in Texas, Sandy Oaks Orchards is not just focused on olive growing, but education as well. The orchard holds educational seminars and tastings of olive oils from olive-growing regions of the world. SandyOaks.com
Hold On (Stalac)—tite Now we are sending you far below the earth’s surface to underground caverns. Located just north of San Antonio, Natural Bridge Caverns offers something for everyone including a maze and mining experience that are fun for all ages. But the cavedwelling experiences are what they are known for. Natural Bridge Caverns has two caves to explore, and a variety of tours exist that allow you to see stalagmites and stalactites that have formed over time as water ebbed and flowed within the caves. We suggest the Hidden Passages tour. It takes around 70 minutes to complete, and you’ll explore huge, underground chambers decorated with some of the most rare and delicate formations.

The Aquifer Tour allows guests to experience a natural phenomenon thanks to the vast amount of rain Texas has experienced. The Glen Rose Aquifer is the local underground water reservoir, and it lies beneath the caverns. The water table has risen, and as a result, it is visible to tourists. However, there is no way to predict how long the water will remain visible – so this is a must-see tour before it’s too late. NaturalBridgeCaverns.com
Hit the Links Founded in 1998, Canyon Springs Golf Club is an award-winning club offering an 18-hole championship course. In addition to the club’s course, Canyon Springs offers instruction for all levels of play – including kids – and golf events. Located on the Classen Homestead in San Antonio, this golf club has an interesting backstory. The club resides on the 54,000-square-acres of land claimed by the Classen family a decade prior to the Civil War. Canyon Springs has preserved the rich history of the land in many ways. The club is located on what is believed to be the second stop on the old stagecoach trail out of San Antonio, and a watering trough for the stagecoach horses still stands in the dry creek bed to the east of the Pro Shop. In fact, you might be just as likely to see historical markers speckled amidst the grounds as you are to see hole markers. CanyonSpringsGC.com
Boudro’s Texas Bistro on the Riverwalk We couldn’t let you travel to San Antonio without at least one visit to the Riverwalk. Plan to make a stop at Boudro’s Texas Bistro for great food and great service. Ranked among the top 25 places to eat in San Antonio by TripAdvisor.com, Boudro’s offers a cuisine featuring Texas and southwestern specialties. Stop in for lunch for Texas Tapas, made with a skewer of pork tenderloin al pastor with pineapple, grilled Hill Country Jalapeño sausage, smoked duck, spicy marinated vegetables, corn pudding and barbecue sauce. With both inside and outside dining (can you say patio with a view!), be sure to enjoy an adult beverage or two while you’re there, including Boudro’s Texas Tea or Prickly Pear Margarita. Boudros.com

LEADING THE DRAGONS Get to know CISD Superintendent Dr. David Faltys. Dr. David Faltys is approaching his 10th anniversary as CISD Superintendent, and one thing is certain: He loves what he does. We sat down with him to discuss achievements, initiatives, and what to look forward to in the upcoming school year.
SS NEXT DOOR
Tell us a little about yourself. What inspired you to get into education? I was one of those kids who loved going to school. I enjoyed being around teachers and other students. I originally went to college to be a petroleum engineer. At that time, the oil business was really going down. I met with advisors who asked what else I would like to do. I thought, ‘I could be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, or I could teach hundreds of these.’ I had a moment of clarity when I realized that’s what I need to be doing: educating kids.
How would you describe your educational philosophy? I want to flip the switch on every kid. Education, to me, is preparing kids for the future, and it’s really whatever future they dream of. We’re all on a mission to make sure every child has every tool they need to do whatever they want. We want to help every kid find what it is they want to do and be a contributing part of society.
What are you most proud of from your time as superintendent? That’s a tough one. In Carroll, it’s just everything. Graduation. Lone Star Cups. Our kids’ accomplishments. Every year at graduation we announce how many hours of service those kids have, and this year, they donated about 57,000 hours of community service. I’m really proud of all our kids. Not just our state champions, but all our kids who give their best day in and day out.
The Dragons have won four consecutive UIL Lone Star Cups. What’s the secret to this sustained success?
Photo by BluDoor Studios
A focus on excellence has helped us win. I feel like our staff, kids, and community have done a great job of focusing on not really the goal of achieving the Lone Star Cup, but at being excellent at whatever we do. All of our kids pull together, whether they get the accolades or not. We want everybody to do their best. If everybody does their best, the sky’s the limit.
The online school/community engagement process, ThoughtExchange, launched in May. Has it been successful so far? Yes, it has been successful. We’ve learned it’s a highly participatory process. We’ve had about a 70-percent participation rate. There were about 9,000 ideas generated and 129,000
local leader
stars. It’ll be fascinating to see what bubbles up to the top. I think it’ll be traffic, sidewalks, personality/ communication issues. It could be safety. I think it’s going to fit in nicely with our strategic plan.
The district is about to launch its first-ever publication, Inside Carroll. What are your goals with this publication? We want to be first-class. We’re really excited about having something tangible. We do so much electronically now, but there are people who would rather have something to lay their hands on. We’re seeing this as a coffee table book. It’ll tell our story, what we’re about, and what we’re trying to do. We’re excited about getting into people’s homes long term.
What do you think is the biggest challenge facing educators and administrators today? How are you working to overcome this challenge? From my perspective looking in, it’s meeting the needs of every child. It’s having educators feel like they’re making a difference. We want people who truly have a passion for educating kids to be rewarded with the feeling that they’re making an impact. This is affected by class sizes and schedules. From the district level, it’s making sure we’re being wise with taxpayer dollars and making sure we’re balancing the budget. Our primary goal is making sure each kid reaches whatever level of academic success he or she envisions.
Our cover story tackles the issue of whether or not kids are too busy. What’s your take on this topic? Looking at my kids, I’d say yes, kids are too busy. Let me preface with this: It’s our choice. I worry about our kids having down time. That being said, I don’t think it’s our teachers. I think it’s society. I think it’s me as a dad. This business of being too busy, I think we are. I don’t know how to fix it. Are we giving too much homework? Maybe. Are kids too engaged in extracurricular activities? Maybe. Do we see sports injuries because kids go from football to lacrosse to PC all in the same day? Yes, absolutely. But how do you stop it?
What are some key initiatives to look forward to in the upcoming school year? We’re really excited about the strategic plan. I’m excited about the ThoughtExchange results. Beyond that, we want to make sure our kids are healthy, happy, and successful every day. It’s about making sure all kids are working toward a positive result. One of our goals is to make sure that kids in CISD, before they leave their parents’ homes, know they’re rock stars here. We want to make sure our kids feel successful on the inside.

nce well known and highly respected under the G37 moniker, the 2015 Infiniti Q60 convertible is a two-door, four-seat convertible in a coupe’s clothing. Powered by Infiniti’s award-winning, V6 engine, this car is a thrill to drive. But, thanks to it’s innovative retractable hardtop and ultra-premium accessories, it’s also a thrill to own. The Q60’s standard 3.7-liter V6 engine throws off an impressive 325 horsepower, which provides plenty of power, especially when combined with the available seven-speed automatic transmission whose available solid magnesium paddle shifters add that extra level of engagement and driving response. The car’s advanced platform design weight is balanced from front to back, creating a stable foundation for the four-wheel independent suspension. The only way to improve a drive on the open road is to, well, open up the top. Maintaining its seductive, coupe-like lines and performance, the Q60 takes on its open-air persona through the use of an exclusive three-piece “clamshell” retractable hardtop. Slim designed to “minimize bulk,” the top secures safely in the trunk
at just the push of a button. Advanced technology outside meets the cabin in progressive ways. Manage your speed, your commute, and the world around you with an entire suite of tech-laden devices like Infiniti’s Intelligent Cruise Control, Hard Drive Navigation and reverse backup camera that will help keep your mind and spirit as free as a windy back country road. When coupled with the well-designed rear wind deflector, the available Bose Open Air System is a notable step up—even with the top down. By monitoring both ambient noise and vehicle speed, the amplifier’s equalization adjusts for unsurpassed clarity across each of the cabin’s 13 speakers. As smooth as the sound from the speakers, the luxury interior is highlighted by a leather- appointed interior accented with high-gloss maple wood and Silk Obi Aluminum trim. Starting at a $48,550 and ranging as high as $62,100 for the 343 horsepower IPL (Infiniti Performance Line), Infiniti’s Q60 convertible provides the mature styling of an executive sedan with the heart-pumping adrenaline and youthful exuberance of a performance sports car. This car is perfectly tailored for those who want it all. SOUTHLAKE STYLE
