The Dallas City Council, likely later this year, will have the final say on the contentious zon ing case, which has been in the works since itthecorrectzoning“The2016.proposeddoesnotthesinsofpast,nordoesbegintomake up for the sins of the past,” said Mark Rieves, a former plan commissioner and member of the Elm Thicket/Northpark steering committee.
The neighborhood, bordered by In wood, Lovers, Bluffview, Lemmon, and Mockingbird, is about 521 acres of primarily single-family homes with some duplexes on the edges.

Their new neighbor next door will loom over them with less disrespect and Markhostility.Rieves
Those changes prompted a zoning pro cess “looking at how you incorporate mod erate changes to the zoning that soften the different development styles,” she said.
Gilles added that the area is seeing significant property value increases and higher housing costs with more new con structions and teardowns.

“There’s no way the group that wants these changes could have gotten more than 50% of property owners to agree to all of this,” Allison Silveira said. “It is a fact that housing is one of the primary ways for wealth accumulation in this country. Are you really going to inhibit and deny that to neighbors in this area?”
Commission favors shorter homes, slightly less lot coverage

Dallas City Plan Commissioners have sided with longtime Elm Thick et/Northpark residents seeking to preserve the history and character of the neighborhood.Thecommission recently voted unani mously to support a slight decrease in the lot coverage allowed for new homes there.
But it does provide, Rieves said, “a nod of respect to the existing legacy residents who have called Elm Thicket home for half a century. Their new neighbor next door will loom over them with less disrespect andZachostility.”Thompson committed to maintain ing the West University Boulevard home where his late mother lived all her life. “We have a chance to maintain a history that is unique. This is one of the last communities in Dallas that is historically Black.” However, some stakeholders are unhap py, seeing the proposed changes as infring ing on their property rights.
The proposals would limit maximum lot coverage to 35% for multi-story homes and 40% for single-story homes instead of the 45% allowed in most of Dallas. Many of the original homes in the area are at most 30%.
The proposals would also drop the max imum height of homes by about 5 feet and largely do away with flat roofs used in some new two-story homes.
“It is historically a Black/African Amer ican neighborhood,” explained Andrea Gilles, assistant director of planning and urban design. “There are many sources that cite that this is also a freedman town area within the city.”
“There’s been a sharp decline in the Black and African American popula tion in this area, and a really significant increase in the Hispan ic, Latino, and Latinx populations, and the white populations,” she said.
Gilles said that the area, which was redlined in the 1930s through the 1960s, has seen changes in the last couple of decades.

What they say is you’re not supposed to be boisterous, but you can be Alexboisterous.Stein
“What they say is you’re not supposed to be boisterous, but you can be boister ous,” he said on an episode of Blaze Me dia’s News and Why It Matters podcast. “As long as you don’t go there and cuss and be really profane … you have your constitution al right to speak at those local meetings.” And in the internet age, with so many meetings streamed online, that means ex posure.“Itplays on their local live feed, so it does go somewhere,” Stein said. While his public meeting raps can be ambiguous in their political messaging, he’s also posted videos heckling members of Congress, including one calling Hous ton Republican Dan Crenshaw a “globalist RINO” (Republican In Name Only). Stein, through his father, Rhett, declined to speak to People Newspapers about his plans and Park Cities roots, but it seems like Stein’s “show” is likely to continue.

Some may know of Highland Park High School alumnus Alex Stein from his appearance on The Glass House reality show, which debuted on ABC in 2012. In it, contestants lived together and com peted in activities viewers helped pick. In the show’s first episode, Stein asked, “America, should I turn into the most epic villain in the history of reality TV?” and shared his game “Nobodyplan. in this house is going to do what I do because I got no shame, and I got no fear,” Stein declared.Morerecently, a video of Stein perform ing during the open microphone portion of a Dallas City Council meeting in February went viral. In it, he wore scrubs and rapped about COVID-19 vaccines. In June, Stein sued Dallas County over his removal from County Commissioners Court. In May, commissioner John Wiley Price had Stein escorted out about 30 sec onds into comments about Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. “You’re not allowed to admonish mem bers of this court,” Price said, interrupting Stein repeatedly. “You are not allowed to attack members of this court.” Stein’s use of municipal government open mic sessions has helped him access larg er platforms, including Tucker Carlson To night, Glenn Beck’s Blaze Media, and Alex Jones’ podcast. A jury recently decided Jones should pay punitive damages to two families for spreading lies about the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. During a March 18, 2022, appearance on The Alex Jones Show, Stein called Jones a “personal“Righthero.”around 2016, you woke me up, realizing about pizzagate, realizing that these people in power are sick perverted Satanists,” Stein told Jones, referencing a discredited conspiracy theory alleging Hil lary Clinton ran a child sex trafficking ring out of a Washington D.C. pizza parlor. Stein, noting how he, like Jones, grew up in North Texas, added, “What I’m saying is we’re kind of cut from similar cloths.”Stein’s appear ances at munici pal meetings around the area, including in University Park, have been aided by the 2019 passage of House Bill 2840, which re quires governmental bodies to allow time for public speakers.

Jack Betts went to Amherst College looking to make his mark as a wide receiver, not an entrepreneur.Threeyears later, the former Episcopal School of Dallas student from the Park Cities has caught only one pass but has secured doz ens of endorsement deals enabled by the 2021 passage of Name, Im age, and Likeness (NIL) regula tions for NCAA athletes. While balancing the rigors of football and academics, Betts has become a social media ambassador for brands ranging from PSD Un derwear to Omaha Steaks — usu ally earning commissions or free products in exchange for pre-ar ranged viral shoutouts. “I’ve always been interested in the business side of things,” said Betts, whose parents are both at torneys. “I’ve viewed it as a con tinuous internship. I’m really get ting to understand the internals of what it’s like to run a startup.” Such arrangements are unusu al at schools like Amherst. The Massachusetts campus has about 2,000 students and competes at the NCAA Division III level. However, Betts has become a pioneer in the NIL space. He’s attended national conferences, been interviewed on podcasts and television shows, and become a resource for other student-athletes who aren’t sure how to get started. Betts didn’t play in 2019, and the Mammoths canceled their 2020 season due to the pandemic. The NIL guidelines took effect in July 2021, and six months lat er, Lifestyle Bands reached out to him.“Ifigured I might as well throw my hat in the ring,” said Betts, a junior English major. “Coming from the Division III level, I had very limited resources coming from my school. It’s been built from the ground out from my desk at home.”Inforging more than 30 partnerships during the span of a few months, Bet ts learned that you don’t need to play for Alabama or Ohio State to take advantage of the new NIL landscape.“Whywouldn’t I be the one who breaks down that barrier? Deals aren’t exclusive to Division I and Power Five [conference] guys,” he said. “We’re talented; we’re creative. I wanted to be the one to change the narrative and break down that wall.” During his free time, Betts became social media savvy and educated himself in brand-build ing and self-marketing. He launched a website. And he has more than doubled his following on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. “Starting out, there was a lot of hesitancy from these brands. It’s all about sell ing yourself and presenting yourself as a thatlete.DivisiontheseofBettsprofessional,”said.“Mostthetime,Iambrands’firstIIIathIhavetoshowIdeservetobe in partnership with them.” Betts will need to focus more on football this fall. But his long-term goals include starting an academy to empower indig enous athletes looking to break into the NIL space since he has Cherokee heritage. “Down the line, the skills that I’m flexing here will be use ful in the business world,” Betts said. “As student-athletes, we’ve learned to balance all of the ob ligations we have going on in our lives. It’s another thing I’m going to have on my plate.”

Highland Park wasted no time forecast ing its football dominance during its inau gural varsity season in 1923, winning nine of 11 games. Just one year later, the Scots made their first playoff appearance. As it prepares for a 100th campaign in 2022, HP has long since become the most decorated program in the state, setting a standard for regular-season and postseason success, not to mention consistency. To put that into perspective, HP’s alltime record of 864-262-27 means the Scots have won nearly 75% of their games (74.9%). The next closest school to the Scots’ total of 864 is Amarillo, with 808. While HP is first in wins, the school is only 17th in games played, according to research by Texas football historian Joe Lee Smith. The Scots also have made more play off appearances (63) and won more district crowns (56) than any other team in any UIL classification. This year, HP will start District 7-6A play on Sept. 9 against Lake Highlands.

Allen eyes another milestone Longtime HP head coach Randy Allen needs just two more victories to tie the leg endary G.A. Moore for second place on the list of all-time coaching victories in Texas.
Streaks at stake Highland Park has won 10 games in a year 43 times — which equates to more than 40% of its seasons on record — the most prolific such mark in Texas. The Scots will look to extend a stretch of nine consecutive 10-win campaigns in 2022, which is the most in program histo ry. HP also will aim to continue runs of 34 straight playoff appearances and seven dis trict titles in a row. Highland Park coach Randy Allen has led the Scots to four state championships in his 23 seasons at the school. He has more career victories than any other active coach in Texas.

At 100, Highland Park Football Program Is As Healthy As Ever
Allen has 424 wins in 41 seasons as a head coach — including the last 23 at HP — while Moore accumulated 426 victories over 44 years at Pilot Point, Celina, Sher man, and Aubrey. Allen’s career includes prior stints at Ballinger, Brownwood, and AbileneAllenCooper.already is the active leader in coaching wins after the retirement of Cor pus Christi Calallen’s Phil Danaher last year. However, he would need several more years to approach the 490 victories in Danaher’s 48-year career. At 42 years on the sidelines, Allen paces all active coaches in terms of longevity. He’s also the active leader in playoff coaching wins with 82 (all-time leader Danaher had 93).

LOYALTY PROPELS CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS AFTER TRAGEDY
Melissa and Russell Rie man started Renaissance Precast, a cast stone business, nearly 20 years ago. Russell died in March after five months in the hospital, but Melissa, a busy community vol unteer, is working to keep the business and his legacy going. “I think we’re just taking it day by day right now, trying to figure out what that grief looks like and how we can manage it,” Melissa said. “For me, I want to make sure I honor him and the work that he did and put into the business and keep it going strong.”Thecouple
“My husband was really good with people and really built up a loyal base of customers before he passed away in March,” Me lissa said. “I’m able to carry it on because he’s got a loyal group of employees and a loyal group of customers.”Renaissance
moved to Univer sity Park from Atlanta 19 years ago, and Russell, who’d already worked in the industry, decided to go into business for himself after the birth of their son.
“Every organization that I’ve been involved with was great about stepping up and saying, ‘What can we do to help?’” she added. “They delivered food, but they also delivered love and sup port, prayers, and sincerely want ed to do something to make the situation better.”

AUTUMN AT THE ARBORETUM MEANS LOTS OF ORANGE
IF/THEN, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies, aims to open young girls’ eyes to the potential of STEM careers. It does so by in troducing them to the stories of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) IF/THEN® Ambassadors – wom en selected for accomplishments ranging from protecting wildlife, discovering galaxies, and fighting superbugs, to choreographing robots. The idea: Get middle school girls to think if these women can do this, then they can grow up to do it, too.
“These statues align well with our Children’s Adventure Garden’s focus on teaching STEM in a practical and meaningful way,” Arboretum president and CEO Mary Brinegar said. “The powerful and successful women represented will only influence the many girls and boys who visit our garden who may be the next astrophys icist, engineer, or mathematician.”

My mother is a gem to host, and I repeatedly remind my hus band of that in advance. She is a pleaser and fervently believes that to be worthy of my sweet man, I must keep an immac ulate house. Sure, it’s not 1962, but she helps clean, and who am I to deny my mother that pleasure in the twilight of her life? My mom’s issue: boundaries. She swears by her humble upbring ing in a 4-room house with 11 sib lings. Consequently, she has no use for privacy.

“Words can’t explain how beautiful she is as a person,” Angela said of her grand mother. “She just gave me a lot of wisdom through life growing up. “She picked up where my mom left off and taught me everything. She helped me graduate through school,” Angela said. “She loves her flowers; she loves to plant; she loves to bake; she loves to cook. Every year, we have Thanksgiving and Christmas at her house, and it’ll be me and her in the kitchen cooking.”Keeyona described Mary’s food as ex cellent.“She raised me and my kids,” Keeyona said. “She’s a very good person. I mean she’s reliable, prompt … If you say that you need her at any time, she’ll be there.” Mary still enjoys her work and keep ing busy.

Charles’ son, Neel, said when Charles needed additional care, Mary came highly rec ommended from other Park Cities families. “She worked during daytime hours for us basically five or six days a week for years taking care of my dad who was in a slow de cline,” Neel said. “She was kind of like an angel sent from heaven to help us out.”
Puckett began working in healthcare when she was 25. “You have to love what you do, and it’s just easy – just like a breeze,” she said. “You get some people who are very, very ill, but that’s when you enjoy your work because you’re doing something to help.” When not at work, Mary also served as caregiver for her family. Her husband, William, suffered a stroke more than 20 years ago, and she and one of her daughters, Tammy, cared for him at home for years. “I worked 12 hours a day,” Puckett said. “My daughter (cared for him) during the day; I took care of him at night.” But Tammy suffered from kidney failure. After she and her father died about a year apart, Mary helped raise Tammy’s daugh ters, Keeyona King and Angela Leblanc.

Oak Cliff ’s Mary Puckett loves her Park Cities home healthcare patients like family
A photo displayed in Mary Puckett’s Oak Cliff home shows World War II vet eran Charles Lemon, a Park Cities man she took care of for years before his death in 2021.“He’s my family,” explained Puckett, now 82.She has spent more than 50 years as a home healthcare provider, often working in the Park Cities, and has plenty of pho tographs and letters from the families she served.“All of them (are my) family because I loved all of them,” Puckett said. “I stay with them so long that they become a part of me.”
The family thanked Puckett for her care in Charles’ obituary. “She would sometimes have to take him to the doctor or the hospital,” Neel said. “She handled that all just perfectly, inter faced with medical providers and things like that, cooked his meals, and she’s just a very caring person. As far we’re concerned, she was an extension of family.”

From the east side of Manhat tan to the art galleries of Amster dam, novelist Clay Small has had an incredible journey. This former soccer pro turned PepsiCo coun sel has cut a path through multiple continents, curating experiences that would eventually play out between the pages of two novels. Within his adventures, Dallas played an integral part. In 1972, Clay was drafted by the HeLamartheoutLeagueicanNorthTornado,DallasaAmerSoccerstandownedbyinfamousHunt.camedown from Wesley an University, his alma mater in Ohio, to continue his soccer ca reer in Dallas. However, he was quickly curtailed.
“I thought, ‘Why would you have a forger’s showing?’” Small said. “This is just too weird.” The next day, Small was on a train to Rotterdam. Since then, he’s become fascinated with Van Meegeren and the lore that sur rounds his forgeries and following. Van Meegeren became the single richest artist of his time simply by forging paintings. In contrast, Ver meer died poor. “I became fascinated by the sto ry of a forgery by Van Meegeren which ended up in the hands of Re ichsmarschall Hermann Göring,” Small said. “And this set the back drop to my latest book.” Small’s latest title, The Forg er’s Forgery, explores the world of art forgery while pulling form his experiences as a husband, father, professor, executive, and world traveler. And with a life so rich in experiences, this is a read rooted in human engagement.

“This is a really funny story,” Small said. “Lamar Hunt called me into his office one day and asked, ‘What do you want to do with your life?’ Which translated to, ‘I’m cutting you.’” Small explained to Hunt that he’d like to attend law school and become a lawyer. Within days, the business titan and Tornado owner had him enrolled at SMU Ded man School of Law. After graduating, Small even tually assumed a general counsel position at PepsiCo. There, he oversaw an array of divisions from Frito-Lay to Pizza Hut. It was through this work that he discov ered a passion for travel and an appreciation of art. “It started when I held a meet ing for the International Attor neys in Lon don,” Small said. “When I got the bill for it, I re alized it was half my year’s travel ex penses. Then, a friend of mine, who’s Dutch, said, ‘Why don’t we do this in Amsterdam? It’s less than half the cost and everyone speaks English.’”Fromthere, Small became fas cinated with the Netherlands. He explored Holland and Amster dam, and eventually became in troduced to 17th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. He quickly fell in love with the works of this Baroque Period painter and made it his mission to view each of his 34 existing works. “I’ve seen all but three,” Small said.One day, Small was reading a Rotterdam newspaper and came across an ad for a gallery of Vermeer forgeries by Han van Meegeren.

JDM completed a rigorous self-assessment and review pro cess, earning the highest national recognition standard possible for a museum. It is the only accredit ed fine art museum in the country housed within a high school.
By William Taylor william.taylor@peoplenewspapers.com
JESUIT DALLAS BOASTS AN ART MUSEUM LIKE NO OTHER
“Most impressive is the mu seum’s connection to the teach ing mission of the school and the passion of everyone involved,” Richardson said. “It would be very easy to try and place this museum into existing paradigms of what an art museum ‘should’ be. But what we found was a unique institution that reminds us to put the concept of connec tion between art and audience at the core of what we do.”
The
Institution earns rare national accreditation from the AAM
“The unique partnership be tween the Jesuit Dallas Museum and the school is leading the coun try in best practices and reinforc ing the importance of an appreci ation of art in our young people,” said Fred Jackson, president of the JDM Board of Trustees. Only about 1,000 of the 34,000 museums in the United States achieve this accreditation. “Our accreditation signifies ex cellence, accountability, and high professional standards,” JDM di rector Elizabeth Hunt Blanc said.
The nonprofit JDM, incorpo rated in 1986 and governed by a charter and board of directors separate from the school, exists primarily to benefit Jesuit stu dents and the wider school com munity. Its world-class collection – more than 700 works span ning 2,000 years – is displayed in halls, classrooms, and courtyards throughout the 34-acre campus, introducing students to celebrat ed painters, sculptors, and pho tographers.“Timeand again, the site vis itors were struck by the depth of connection that the school, stu dents, faculty, administration, and board of trustees had with the collection and the educa tional philosophy of integration of content with curriculum,” the Accreditation Visiting Commit tee said in its final report. “The way the staff and board make the collection relevant and accessible should be a model for other insti tutions that exist in nontradition al art museum environments.”
The museum at the Jesuit Col lege Preparatory School of Dal las has earned its place among the best museums in the nation, the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) announced in August.

“We definitely want to continue what we’ve been doing in the past because we do a lot within meet ings here, but we really want to go downtown a lot more and hopefully with larger groups,” Foy said. “Then once we graduate, just making sure the club stays active with younger members is really important.”

Receiving the Hope award highlighted their work’s impact for both Foy and Carpenter. “Before the award, I didn’t re ally realize that we were making a difference that was actually notice able,” Carpenter said. “But now, I think it kind of made us feel ac complished because it made me realize we were making an impact.”
The club has undertaken proj ects such as creating goodie bags for different holidays to give to children or cleaning out storage units.Carpenter’s favorite aspect of the CitySquare club was seeing the impact of the holiday goodie bags.
After being recognized with the award, Foy and Carpenter seek to continue expanding their impact during their final year with the club.

Providing shelter, a food pantry, and other tools to those in need, CitySquare tries to offer solu tions to potential problems people suffering from homelessness might have.“They try to find parents jobs or other methods to help them get them back on their feet – they real ly just do it all,” Carpenter said. Working with the CitySquare manager of volunteer services, Angela Frear, Foy and Carpen ter organized events within their branch and participated in broad er CitySquare projects on-site in downtown and south Dallas. Al though Frear helped facilitate many events that Foy and Carpen ter could share with the HP section, Foy and Carpenter had the free dom to come up with projects they felt echoed the CitySquare mission.

“Humanity’s view of the true night sky will be cut off,” Smith said. “No human born after this decade will be able to see it.” Smith wants more regulation.
“I think people use the terms ‘climate’ and/or ‘climate change’ often times not ful ly appreciating all of the parameters that de fine climate,” Fiorillo said. “One of the key parts of our study is that we were able to tease apart two critical parameters and show their relative role in shaping large-bodied herbi vore populations. This is important because these dinosaurs would be classified as key stone species; that is, they were critical to the health of the ecosystems in which they lived.” No more starry nights? Imagine looking up at the night sky and not seeing real stars. SMU observational as trophysicist Krista Lynne Smith warns that could soon become a reality because of too many low-Earth orbit satellites.

According to a new study by SMU pa leontologist Anthony Fiorillo, precipitation and temperature were important to vertebrate herbivore dinosaur populations in Alaska. Fiorillo’s study is a great way to under stand the deep history of the ancient Arctic and the evidence of a flourishing high-lati tude terrestrial ecosystem. Fiorillo’s findings suggest that the mean annual precipitation played a more direct role in determining the distribution of herbivorous dinosaurs than the mean annual temperature.
“Publicly holding SpaceX, Amazon, and other companies accountable for disregard ing the consequences is one important step,” Smith said. “The other is urging lawmakers at the state and federal levels to support pol icies recommended by astronomers, envi ronmental scientists, and industry groups.” – Compiled by Dillon Wyatt CLOCKWISE: Hadrosaurs and ceratopsians as drawn by artist Masato Hattori.

Paper dinosaurs Though origami is traditionally used for teaching geometry or helping improve thinking skills, SMU paleontology student Travis Nolan uses it to envision complete structures of fossils he has excavated. The winner of the gold medal in the original design category of the 2021 Inter national Origami Internet Olympiad has combined his childhood fascination with di nosaurs with the Japanese paper folding art. “When I fold an origami version of the prehistoric animal I am excavating, it helps me know the animal really well,” Nolan said. “Some of the skills needed for reconstructing an extinct animal from its fossils can also be useful for designing that animal in origami.” Heard around the world After an explosion on the opposite side of the globe, the SMU geophysicist team re corded infrasound waves. The undersea Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano eruption on Jan. 15 in the South Pacific Ocean allowed infrasound waves to be recorded for the first time.

“One of the most exciting things about this event is that we don’t understand how in frasound was detected everywhere on Earth,” SMU geophysicist Stephen Arrowsmith said, “because normally infrasound is very sensi tive to the direction of the wind. So normally, we hear infrasound in the direction the wind is blowing, and we don’t hear it where it’s not. But this event was heard everywhere. So, the infrasound was traveling slightly differently from what we’re used to.” Climate and ancient dinosaurs

The pan-fried Wagyu tacos are sublime - the filling is like meat butter - creamy, rich, and beefy. This is an updated version of El Fenix’s pan-fried taco. The naked chile relleno is baked and has a punchi er chile and tomato flavor than the fried version. The chips are sturdy, the sal sa is tomatoey and on the mild side, and the shrimp fajitas are filled with grilled, plump shrimp, seasoned perfectly.

Enfuego means “on fire,” slang for super popular TexMex Train: It’s not just about food. The Texas Mexican Railway Company was christened in June 1881 and was a subsidiary of the Kansas City Southern Railway, a significant rail operator at the time. Known as the Tex-Mex, the route connected Corpus Christi to Laredo. In 1883, Tex-Mex became the first Mexican-United State railway connection when a bridge was built over the Rio Grande River to connect Laredo and Nuevo Laredo.

Over the years, I’ve had the oppor tunity to watch pool trends come and go and help choose pool shapes, fin ishes, and pool furniture for my cli ents. Here are some things I’ve learned about pools during my ca reer as an interior designer.
1. Determine How You’ll Use Your Pool
2. Take a Look at Your Site It’s important to ask a pool design expert to do a site analysis based on your property. This can help prevent your project from running into snags later. Big leafy trees and pools are a ter rible combination: You’ll constantly be cleaning out leaves. Look for area pool companies that have been in the business for a mini mum of 15 to 20 years and have a good reputation.
The shape of the pool should com plement the architecture of your house. For example, I would design a sleek and simple pool for a modern home. Cer tain pool shapes are out of fashion, es pecially kidney or lagoon-shaped pools. However, you should also be careful about “trendy” pool designs. A pool that is trendy now can date the house later.
44 September 2022 | parkcitiespeople.com Heat Wave Have You Wanting a Pool? Consider These 4 Design Tips
4. Add Outdoor Furniture Pool furniture needs to have colors that complement the home’s exterior and interior. When it comes to outdoor furniture, I almost always use all match ing sets, with the same metal finish es and fabric on the large cushions and umbrella. I introduce variety with con trasting decorative pillows or accent ta bles (like faux bois accent tables or gar den stools), but that’s about it. If adding a pool to your home is just one part of your home building or renovation project, you can also bring in an interior designer for their input. An interior designer usually has a lot to say about pools. After all, they want to make sure that your pool not only looks beautiful but is the perfect match for your house. Margaret Chambers, a registered in terior designer (RID) and member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), leads Chambers Interiors and Associates. Her colleague Caitlin Crowley helped edit this column. Visit chambersin teriors.com/blog for more design advice. This pool at a University Park home features an integrated hot tub with matching tile.

Dr. Philip Bergman, director of clinical studies for VCA, said the biobank will collect and analyze samples over 10 years and use the data to understand and spot early indicators of disease.“We will find new markers for early diag nosis for a lot of common diseases, and be cause of the widespread breadth of number of patients, we can also identify biomarkers for more niche types of diagnoses,” Bergman said. “Then, identifying those indicators will trans late into new diagnostic tests, new therapies or potentially new foods that we feed our pets.”

William Coleman Sylvan II passed away peacefully on July 31, 2022. Cole man was born on April 8, 1950, in Colum bia, SC, to Corinne and Johannes Sylvan, before moving to Dallas at the age of four. Growing up in Dallas, he solidified his strong faith through his participation in YoungLi fe. Coleman graduated from Highland Park High School in 1968 and went on to attend Emory University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Follow ing graduation, he returned to Dallas, where he attended law school at SMU. After graduating from law school, he be gan his career as a prosecutor with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.

• Likewise, use outdoor lighting around set tings of garden furniture to create additional “rooms” within your garden
More and more homeowners are finding their favorite time to spend summer in their gardens is after sundown. With the addition of strategic outdoor lighting, gardens transform into addi tional living spaces, moonlit walking paths, and alfresco dining options.
Richard Lentz, president of Lentz Landscape Lighting, shares a few tips on enhancing your gar dens with recreated “moonlight” and other outdoor lighting options. “Many of our customers spend quite a bit of money landscaping their properties with beautiful gardens,” says Lentz. “The problem is that investment literally disappears after dark,” he adds. With the placement of strategic outdoor lighting, homeowners can enjoy the beauty of their garden day and night while adding the benefit of in creased security to the entire property.
• Install dimmable down lights from inside the roof of an arbor, a gazebo, or a pavilion to set the mood for any event.
• Hang strings of white lights or a weather proof chandelier from a low bough of a large tree and set an outdoor dining table under it for en tertaining alfresco-style.
Here are a few tips on night lighting your gar dens from Richard Lentz: • Use soft perimeter lights along the pathways to create ambiance and provide additional safety lighting•Use a selection of warm accent lights throughout the garden to highlight artistic fea tures like sculptures, birdbaths, fountains, and special groupings of foliage

The importance of Bryan’s House’s work – crisis intervention, case management, homeless prevention, onsite therapy, early childhood development, and family support – is seen daily in the clients we serve (Cli ent families typically earn just more than $24,000 annually). For example, Zabrina couldn’t move or walk independently at 2 years old and need ed help eating. Her family was told she would never walk. But after six months as a client, she was walking and feeding herself. Her mother said, “Knowing she was in good hands empowered me to work, return to school, and earn a livable wage to support our family.”
Dallas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers visit the children and work closely with attorneys, judges, Child Protective Services, a child’s family, teachers, doctors, and therapists. They advocate for children to remain con nected to siblings, for their social, emotional, and educational needs, and for healing services.

In just two minutes, a DCAC Case co ordinator can engage law enforcement and CPS to help the investigative process begin. A DCAC Forensic Interviewer can build rapport so a child feels safe telling their story. Our team daily responds to 10 new chil dren who have made an outcry of abuse.

nly hours after their 2021 season end ed prematurely with a heartbreaking playoff loss, Highland Park players and coaches met to set goals, not knowing yet that they would not get to avenge their earliest postseason exit in almost a decade. Instead, a new challenge will greet HP this fall. The perennial powerhouse pro gram returns to the Class 6A level for the first time since 2015. During a spirited offseason, anticipation has combined with lingering disappoint ment for returnees eager to atone for their 29-28 defeat against Frisco Wakeland in the Class 5A Division I playoffs area round.
“We prepare the same way no matter what,” Allen said.

Whereas HP has been among the larg est 5A schools in the state in terms of en rollment in recent years, now it is among the smallest 6A programs. But don’t label the Scots as an under dog. They have the roster size to match any 6A school annually, and their expecta tions are as high as ever, including a league crown. HP is the all-time state leader in victories (864), playoff appearances (63), and district titles (56).

“We don’t want to have that same feel ing again,” senior receiver Luke Herring said. “We have to come in with the same intensity in every game.” That’s especially true given HP’s more daunting schedule this season, including a rare nine-team district to determine four playoff“We’llspots.need to be playing our best foot ball right at the beginning of the season,” HP head coach Randy Allen said. The front-loaded schedule dictates a sense of urgency with just two non-district games before the District 7-6A opener against Lake Highlands on Sept. 9. Never has HP been aligned in such a large league nor began district play so early. Plus, while only four of HP’s foes had winning records last season, the Scots will face all of them in their first five games. “We’ve seen that competition,” senior running back Jay Cox said. “We’ve played 6A teams, and we’ve always done well againstIndeed,them.”the Scots are 9-1 against 6A competition the past four years, with each of those games coming in the first few weeks of the season.
The last time HP was in 6A — a twoyear stretch in 2014 and 2015 — the Scots went 13-1 in district play and lost in the second round of the playoffs to Waco Midway both times.
“There are no weeks off,” senior corner back Adam Rourke said. The Scots are the only newcomer to a district that otherwise remains intact from a year ago when Jesuit Dallas was the unbeat en champion. The other opponents come from Irving ISD and Richardson ISD.
“It’s exciting that we’re playing new people, but we don’t know much about them,” Allen said. The bigger challenge likely will come in postseason play, especially in 6A Division II Region I, where the bracket could fea ture Denton Guyer, Southlake Carroll, and Flower Mound Marcus, the opponent for the Scots’ regular-season opener on Aug. 26.

Nickname: Rangers Head coach: Brandon Hickman (12th season) 2021 record: 10-2 (7-0 in district) Notable: The first meeting between the rivals whose campuses sit just 6 miles apart could carry 7-6A championship implications. Jesuit defeated eight of HP’s 2022 opponents last season. The uptempo Rangers won all seven of their district games by an average margin of 30 points before falling to Denton Guyer in the playoffs.

Notable: After closing the regular season with six straight wins, the Marauders fell to Prosper in the first round of the playoffs. The high-powered offense will be led by WR Ashton Cozart, an Oregon commit who caught a team-high 11 touchdown passes. Chance Sautter, Jake Ballard, and Jace Bardwell will steer a stingy Marcus defense.
Notable: Lewisville’s recent resurgence culminated in its most successful season since 2000, which ended with a shutout loss to Southlake Carroll in the third round of the playoffs. QB Ethan Terrell returns to spearhead an offense that averaged 41.1 points in its 11 wins. The massive offensive line includes multiple 300-pounders.

Notable: Irving snapped a 32-game winning streak last season, but still has just 11 victories in the past eight years combined. The Tigers averaged just 15 points per game but will have plenty of experience with QB Adrian Medina and WR Kyle Sampson returning. Irving’s two wins came by a combined margin of just four points.

Most of the top returnees are on a defense that posted three shutouts, including DB Carson Klein and DL Andre Johnson. Dynamic playmaker Shamar Donaldson keys the offense.

The Rams were inconsistent on offense, but new QB D.J. Shelton should benefit from experienced playmakers such as receivers Jarvis Saine and Tre Randle. Berkner hasn’t finished with a winning record since 2011.
Notable: MacArthur’s sixth straight losing season showed signs of progress, especially on offense. Several playmakers return to lead the run-based attack, including QB Glendon Willis and running backs Darelle Smith and JerBrandin Henderson. Despite a young roster, the Cardinals averaged 45 points in their four victories.

Dual-threat QB Howard Armstrong and RB Kaden Alcorn are the top returning threats for an offense that rushed for 15 of its 20 scores.

Notable: Pearce ended a streak of four straight postseason appearances last year. The Mustangs have played HP many times in the past, but not since 2015, when both teams were last aligned together in a 6A district. Most of the returning talent is on defense, although QB John Gesin threw nine touchdown passes in a reserve role.

This season, Brennan Storer will join an esteemed group of recent two-year starters at quar terback for Highland Park — one that includes state champi ons like John Stephen Jones and Chandler Morris. Storer built a solid founda tion in 2021 with more than 2,500 passing yards and 25 touchdowns, along with eight rushing scores, as HP averaged more than 38 points per game and finished with a 10-2 record. “Those games will make him a better player,” HP head coach Randy Allen said. “Deci sion-making will be a plus for him. I think he will execute bet ter as a senior.”
As the Scots transition to the Class 6A level, Storer will have plenty of talent and experience surrounding him. The versatile Jay Cox will take over as the pri mary running back after finish ing second on the team in both rushing and receiving with more than 900 all-purpose yards and 10 touchdowns.Thetoptwo returnees at re ceiver are two-sport standouts Jackson Heis and Luke Herring, who combined for 40 catches and 10 scores a year ago. Beau Lilly and Grayson Schrank each return to the lineup after missing much of last season with injuries.
“Our receiving corps is so strong this year,” Herring said. “Getting that chemistry last year will be a big step up.”
After catching five touchdown passes in 2021, Herring emerged as one of the state’s top hurdlers, finishing sixth at the 5A state meet while breaking his school record. Luke Herring, WR makingDecision-will be a plus for him.

The Scots have been tradi tionally adept at reloading their lineup, and this year’s group will feature several players who saw significant action at the varsity level last year.
