o I have small garden. I grow tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, squash, a few herbs, and blackberries.

I haven’t actually done the economics on the amount of money I spend each year on my garden versus the savings at the grocery store. I don’t think I want to, because I’m pretty sure a financial planner would say it’s not a great investment.

Sure, I spend time watering and weeding and fending off the bugs and varmints and my dog, Beau (he likes tomatoes), but all of that is worth it, because there’s a certain amount of satisfaction I gain from eating things that I’ve grown.

A couple of coworkers challenged each other and me to a tomato-growing contest; this was their first foray into growing tomatoes. I don’t consider myself too competitive, but I remember thinking, “amateurs, I got this.” But when one of the other ladies came to work with her first tomato before mine came in, I was bummed.

I was later vindicated when I had a single-days’ yield produce 22 cherry tomatoes, one bell pepper, three jalapenos, and one 8-inch-long zucchini, all from a couple of raised beds.

I’ve been called an “urban farmer”

PAT M A R T I N — I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I’m not. Sure, I grow a few things, compost, and capture rainwater, but it doesn’t feel like a big deal. I bring excess veggies to work to share on occasion and people are easily impressed. They ask me what I grow and how big my garden is and if it’s a lot of work. I share the information and encourage others to start a garden.

I hope you will consider it, especially if you have kids; it’s a great way for them to make the connection to what’s on the dinner table, and besides, it’s a good excuse to get a little grungy, which most kids love.

I hope my coworkers got a sense of satisfaction with their experience and that they will come back in the fall or next year with a new challenge.

Dangers of Valet Parking Increase by One

V

alet parking is a necessity in and around Dallas, whether you love it or hate it — and in the Park Cities, especially.

I, personally, have a tendency to distrust handing my keys to a stranger who’s also handling countless other keys.

But apparently, there are some valet attendants around town who are willing to risk their lives to protect your vehicle.

At 4:06 p.m. on July 10, a customer left their vehicle running with the door open to drop off at the valet station at the Hilton Dallas/Park Cities near Preston Center. A thief then jumped in the car in an attempt to drive off.

The valet attendant then engaged in a fight with the thief

SARAH BENNETT before suffering a stab wound.

With the help of bystanders, the attendant was able to subdue the suspect before police arrived.

He then was taken off to a hospital in stable condition, while the suspect, 18-year-old Duane Fay Henley of parts unknown, was arrested on a charge of aggravated robbery.

Maybe I’ll just start walking more places and save myself — and the valet employees — the risk of being stabbed.

The incident included damage to a rear office door and lock, and a filing cabinet. It followed a similar burglary on June 29 involving cash kept in an office. The employee who reported the crime suspects the theft was an inside job, listing all of the current and past workers who had access or knowledge of where cash is kept inside the business. A subsequent background check revealed multiple employees with criminal histories.

At 10:05 a.m., a resident of the 4500 block of Lorraine

Avenue reported the theft of a check, made out for $450, as well as a $200 Montblanc pen, sometime between June 11 and June 13. The check was made out to the son of a cleaning contractor who was at the house on June 11.

The apologetic contractor admitted taking her son to help clean the house. He has an extensive criminal history including robbery, burglary, and fraud charges.

July 13 At 1:05 a.m., a cab driver reported that he wasn’t paid a $20 fare after dropping off an intoxicated passenger in the 4500 block of Belfort Place. An officer opened an unlocked door at the house in question and called out to a man inside, but he didn’t come downstairs.

S C H O O LS HPISD Making Plans to Accommodate Growth

By Todd Jorgenson

WEIGH IN

People Newspapers As it turns 100 years old, Highland Park ISD is still growing.

However, the facilities problems facing HPISD trustees are different than those of some of their suburban counterparts.

In cities such as Frisco or Mansfield, there’s plenty of land to build new campuses to accommodate sprawling population growth. But those solutions aren’t available in the Park Cities, where a steady surge in enrollment has led to classrooms and corridors becoming crowded without an influx of new subdivisions or multifamily complexes.

The district confirmed the growth in June, when a demographic study showed more than 7,000 students in about 6.5 square miles, an increase of more than 11 percent in the past five years. Demographers forecast continued growth at least for the short-term future.

The statistics didn’t catch district officials by surprise.

They’ve known for years that their campuses are bursting at the seams.“All indications are that we are growing and will continue to grow,” said HPISD Superintendent Dawson Orr. “It’s exciting, but it will be a lot of work.”

Priorities and potential solutions have been thrown around for months among school officials and SHW Group Inc., a Plano-based architectural firm hired by HPISD to figure out how to accommodate so many new students in a landlocked district.

Of course, the path to creating a master plan for the future starts with a bond election, which could happen as soon as May 2015. But how much the bond issue will cost voters, and what will be included, is still very much up for debate.

“Our community members understand that we have to take some dramatic steps to prepare for the kids that are coming,” said HPISD board president Leslie Melson. “We can’t relax on this.”

It would be the first bond election in HPISD since 2008, when voters overwhelmingly approved a $75.4 million referendum covering a variety of construction and technology

by HPISD officials to alleviate overcrowding at campuses.

projects.

Just as with that successful effort, the district has formed a facilities advisory committee consisting of a variety of parents, administrators, municipal officials, and others whose input would be valuable. The committee will continue to hold public meetings periodically at least through this fall.

Elementary, my dear About 39 percent of HPISD’s students currently are in grades kindergarten through four, at one of four campuses that are each at least 50 years old and already crowded. With more growth projected, a fifth elementary campus seems like an obvious solution.

The fifth elementary school could allow the attendance lines to be redrawn immediately after its opening, or it could function as a relief campus during the

n Renovate and expand each existing campus to increase capacity

n Existing campuses would be configured for between 550 and 770 students first four years while the other elementary schools are being either renovated or rebuilt, one at a time.

Of course, the biggest issue is finding land to build such a school. It could be a three-level structure — which has been a common theme during talks of renovation district-wide — that would help in case the land is tight, according to Jonathan Aldis of SHW. “It’s going to vary by campus,” Aldis said of the potential cost of renovating elementary schools. “You may not be able to do this uniformly.”

Melson said HPISD already has made plans to ensure that portable buildings won’t be needed during the upcoming school year, thanks to an interior remodel at University Park Elementary School, but there are no such guarantees beyond that.

Secondary options Several options are on the table at Highland Park High School. What trustees seem to agree upon is an addition to the northwest corner of the existing building, located above the existing parking lot. The space could be used for an expansion of fine arts and music programs without eliminating much parking. As a bonus, the reconfigured parking lot would be covered.

“Anytime we build, we need to maximize our space,” Aldis said. “Parking is always going to be an issue.”

Also likely is a proposed relocation of the Seay Tennis Center, which currently is located across from Highlander Stadium and adjacent to the indoor practice facility. Aldis suggests the district construct a new, slightly smaller indoor tennis facility east of the park-

ing garage, across the driveway from the school’s outdoor tennis courts. That would free up the space for an athletic complex of sorts, with office space and team space for various sports — along with a training room and weight room — that currently is cramped under the home bleachers of the stadium.

Another way to free up space for classrooms inside the school building is by demolishing the HPHS natatorium, something that likely would be included in a bond package.

In fact, trustees talked with the University Park City Council in June about a potential partnership involving the use of Holmes Aquatic Center. So far, those discussions are preliminary. However, the 9,800-square-foot natatorium could make room for as many as 28 classrooms, according to Aldis.

Youngsters Take Love of Gaming to Next Level

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers The final day of the Highland Park ISD summer game-design class gives precocious young video-game designers a chance to showcase their creation to their classmates.

Then comes the best part for just about any kid under age 13. They get to play.

That combination makes the class one of the most popular in the summer catalog for the HPISD Academy of Lifelong Learning. After all, what video-game aficionado wouldn’t want to combine their favorite classic gaming elements with their own imagination?

“I love video games and I wanted to make my own,” said 6-year-old Dasch Gorcyca. “I knew I would make a good one, which I did.”

The weeklong class teaches coding and programming skills with the goal of producing a PC platform game in the classic Mario Bros. vein, using a library with a variety of bricks, ladders, coins and heroes, along with villains such as ghosts and creatures.

“We start them off easy, and then we introduce coding and make it more diffi-

The class is one of dozens that HPISD offered for local kids during the summer — mostly in the areas of science, technology and art.

“We try to identify things that students would be interested in doing during the summer,” said Jan Doggett, the Academy for Lifelong Learning program coordinator. “They’re all fun things that they don’t have a chance to do during the school year.”

Sanchez is the owner of 8-Bit Education, a Dallas company that specializes in web design and robotics classes for kids.

He said the concepts in the game-design class are simpler than most people think.

“We give them a lot of freedom,” Sanchez said. “To see what they can build and the variety of games you can get, no two of them are the same.”

At the end of the class, Sanchez saves a version of each student’s game on a flash drive for them to take home and show friends or siblings.

For David Jiang, 12, that will mean the opportunity to tempt players with “The Impossible Game” and its tricky bonus level.

“If you don’t know how to do it, then it’s impossible,” he said.

Sandra Hall-Chiles leads a summer workshop for journalism students in Dallas.

Journalism Teacher Inspires Students in Digital Age

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Journalism teacher Sandra Hall-Chiles may have just finished her inaugural year at the Episcopal School of Dallas, but she’s no rookie. The veteran teacher has nearly 40 years of experience at various campuses, and a tendency to leave students with inspiration and awards at each one.

“It was a challenge because anytime you change schools, you try to incorporate that culture into your educational philosophy,” she said of her first year at ESD. After all, she was following in some great footsteps. Barbara Meier, who died of breast cancer, had taught there for roughly 30 years and was beloved by students.

“She was the only adviser the program had ever had. She was an amazing teacher and incredible person,” Chiles said. “When I stepped in, there was a lot of opportunity to change and create a more modern or contemporary practice of journalism.”

Before joining ESD, Chiles taught at Highland Park High School for eight years, Yavneh Academy for seven, and the School for the Talented and Gifted before that. Altogether, she’s been at six campuses.

With that kind of repertoire, it’s no surprise that she’s learned what’s most important when teaching students an evolving skill.

“One of the most important things in Internet culture is that there’s so much information out there. You can Google anything and get a wide range of responses,” she said. “How do we filter and know which ones are responsible and which represent opinion? The need for people trained in ethics is more important than ever.”

That’s something many of her former

students value, as well.

“I ended up in the journalism program there because I had been playing football and decided I didn’t want to do that, so I signed up on a whim,” said HPHS graduate Josh Davis, a digital editor at WFAA-TV (Channel 8). “Her influence completely changed my life and my career plan.”

Among other things, Chiles values the teamwork skills students learn in the journalism classroom. Her students also frequently take home awards at statewide UIL tournaments, but Chiles won’t take the credit.

“Awards are wonderful and incredible things but I’m not the one that wins those — my students are,” she said.

“When my kids win awards, nobody is more proud than I am.”

Over the years, Chiles has racked up a few awards of her own, including the Gold Key from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 2004 and the Edith Fox King Award in 1994.

But not only does she love teaching students, she loves learning herself, whether from a summer workshop or the teenagers she sees everyday.

“Writing is a skill that’s going to serve you whether you become a journalist or not,” she said. “[My students] opened doors for me. Even at 59, it’s fun to have doors opened.”

Holy Trinity Looks to History For Centennial

By Sarah Bennett

P I V O TA L M O M E N T S

People Newspapers Amid renovations, Holy Trinity Catholic School prepares to celebrate its 100th year.

Principal Jill Fallon has just completed her first year at the campus after garnering experience at Christ the King Catholic School and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School.

“I can make the analogy between my coming here and a brand-new mayor on the cusp of the Olympics,” Fallon joked.

A number of events are planned to celebrate the anniversary, starting with a back-toschool picnic on Aug. 23. After that, it’s high tea at the Adolphus Hotel on Oct. 10, the “platinum party” on Oct. 11 (also at the Adolphus), and the 100th anniversary mass and brunch on Oct. 12 — the school’s original, founding date.

“What I’m mainly looking forward to is the gathering of folks,” said Father Don Ours, who has overseen the parish for three years. “People are coming back for the celebrations to honor what was, as much as what is.”

In the Vincentian tradition, there’s a major emphasis on charity. As an example of this,

the school will implement “100 random acts of kindness.”

Its small size is another unique asset to the school’s environment.

“I love that the size creates a true ‘family’ feeling, where every teacher knows every child, and every child knows every teacher,” Fallon said. “It’s a very nurturing environment.”

And creating a nurturing environment has been a goal from the start.

Sisters Clare Hoch and Mary Michael Ryan were the first two Daughters of Charity to staff the school in 1914. Originally, it was no more than a two-room, wooden building. It served just 32 children at first.

School House” was built just behind the sisters’ residence, where the rectory now stands.

During the late 1940s, Father Michael Dillon knew the campus needed more room, so he started planning renovations.

Unfortunately, he did not live to see them completed, and Father Thomas Stanton carried out the plans in 1947.

Again in the 1950s, more renovations were planned. Father Charles Cannon helped the school add new classrooms, locker rooms, assembly rooms, and more in 1956.

Today, the renovations continue to enable the growth of the school and make sure the facilities are tech-friendly as well as eco-friendly.

However, the school will keep its traditional aesthetic, as evident from the old, wooden cabinets in some of the original classrooms.

“We have to honor the architecture that we have and celebrate it,” Ours said. “At the same time, we can retrofit for the smart boards and computers and iPads and anything else that the kids need to use to be prepared for the modern education environment.”

Nuns from the Daughters of Charity vacated the classrooms of Holy Trinity in 1987, but that doesn’t mean the campus is lacking in any way.

“There is a spirit here that unites us as a community,” Fallon said. “It is truly the people that make the difference.”

BUSINESS Salon Celebrates 15 Years of Style

C H R I S M C G AT H E Y

Co-owner Bruce Osgood still makes time to work “behind the chair” — or in this case, in front of — and gives a client a quick trim.

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers As of this fall, Osgood-O’Neil salons have been coiffing the heads of local residents for 15 years. That kind of sustainability is thanks to the business-minded savvy of Bruce Osgood and Allane O’Neil.

“Generally what happens is you become a very busy stylist, and you think Allane O’Neil it’s time to open up a salon,” Osgood said. “Right from the beginning, we saw that you have to put people in the right positions.”

Not only do you need the right team of owners, stylists, and managers, you need the right locations. First came Snider Plaza in 1998, then Knox Street in 2005, and finally, the Lovers Lane shop in 2007.

The business partners knew they wanted to be in the Park Cities for the clientele, but it was also convenient for them to have locations so close together in order to be visible.

“I hate putting my name on the door if I can’t be there all the time. One of us needs to be there,” O’Neil said.

The two owners knew each other through mutual friends, and it didn’t take O’Neil long to spot that corner lot in Snider Plaza for the salon’s flagship.

Osgood already had experience running a salon in Indianapolis, but when he decided to open shop in Dallas, he wanted to do things differently. For one thing, each stylist at the salon goes through a comprehensive training program run by the company.

“It’s a pretty long process here. You’re ready when you’re ready,” Osgood said.

“We have a very specific curriculum now that is laid out for them and it’s step-bystep.”

Education is just one way the salon tries to differentiate itself. Not only do stylists go through intensive training before they are able to take on clients, but the salons also host educational events for all staff throughout the year, such as bringing in industry-renowned stylists.

“It’s inspiring. You get a little awestruck,” manager Sylvia Hoefelmann said. “They’re celebrities of the hair world.”

Osgood feels that the focus on education has helped to foster a family atmosphere among the staff, leading to many long-term stylists.

“We have some people that have been here 15 years,” he said. “They understand that they have a home here.”

Snap Kitchen Focuses on Health Food

By Karley Kiker

Special Contributor The decision to put down roots in Dallas was, well, a snap for Snap Kitchen. The Austin-based health food chain began serving tasty take-away in late July from its new home in Snider Plaza, and from a second location in Uptown as well.

“We feel lucky to be in the heart of Dallas and across the street from SMU, and look forward to partnering with students and faculty,” said Daniel Helfman, Snap Kitchen’s marketing director. “We’ve already heard that the local community

cares about health and wellness, and we look forward to helping grow a healthy Dallas.”

While Park Cities residents are no strangers to health-food concepts — Nektar Juice Bar, Number One’s organic offerings, and True Kitchen’s entire diet–friendly menu come to mind — Snap Kitchen aims to bring something new to the table: convenience.

“Menu items are crafted to complement special dietary preferences,” Helfman noted.

“That way you can recharge with a delicious, balanced meal whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-

free, carb-conscious, or anything in between.”

In addition to offering premade to-go options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Snap Kitchen can accommodate advance orders — as long as you call the store 24 hours in advance of your desired pick-upand-dine time. The changing menu revolves around seasonal ingredients, meaning you’re sure to find new favorites every once in a while. Bonus: While most restaurants offer gluten-free options these days, Snap Kitchen has taken things a step further by almost entirely eliminating gluten from its

“The remainder of the menu — including soy sauce, oats, pasta, wraps, house-made English muffins, and tortillas — is gluten-free.”

If your mouth isn’t watering yet, this might help you along — Snap Kitchen also offers a selection of comfort-foods-goneclean. Think vegetable lasagna minus the noodles, meatloaf made with steel-cut oats, and “Devily Eggs” that nix the mayo and sub-in jalapeño hummus for an extra jolt of protein. Not sure of your greatest nutritional needs? A registered dietitian will be available in-store by the end of August to help customers make healthy decisions in — you guessed — a snap.

“Snap Kitchen helps make healthy mealtime decisions a little easier,” Hinsdale said. “We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise on great taste for convenience.”

OFF THE MENU Chia and Date Pudding: This menu option combines “superfood” chia with almond and coconut milk, organic palm sugar, and chopped dates and almonds to create a breakfast that’s creamy, crunchy, filling, and 100 percent veganfriendly.

Kale and Roasted Tomato Breakfast Bite: This vegetarian dish begins with a glutenfree English muffin that’s served open-faced. Kale, a roasted tomato egg cup, and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese finishes the veggie tale.

BU S I N E S S BR I E FS LU X U RY A PA R T M E N T VOTE POSTPONED The Dallas Plan Commission has postponed until at least October a vote on the proposed rezoning of a Preston Center medical building to accommodate a high-rise luxury apartment complex.

The commission tabled the Highland House vote, at the request of both developer Crosland Group and a coalition of concerned homeowners, to allow for a land-use study of the area over the next few months.

Crosland’s plan calls for a 22-story building — down from 29 stories originally proposed — with a maximum of 210 units and a parking garage that would consume six levels both above and below ground. Rental rates would run from $4,000 to $5,000 per month, with a long list of amenities.

The plan has drawn opposition from area residents concerned about the height of the proposal as well as traffic and infrastructure effects on Preston Center.

BOONE CHOSEN AS SMU BOARD CHAIR Michael M. Boone of University Park, co-founder of the Haynes and Boone law firm, has been elected chair of the SMU Board of Trustees.

Boone has been an SMU trustee since 1996, and has been a member of virtually every board committee during Michael his tenure. He is Boone a former adjunct professor of corporate securities law at the Dedman School of Law, and currently serves as vice chair of the Dedman executive board.

Among his other civic involvement, Boone is a former president of the Highland Park ISD board of trustees and former chairman of the Dallas Citizens Council.

TEXAS WINE WEEKEND Siblings Not Whining About Winery

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Once they left, neither David nor Julie Kuhlken suspected they would return to the wine business.

The siblings, who each graduated from Highland Park High School, subsequently worked at their parents’ vineyard in the Texas Hill Country in the 1990s, but didn’t plan to make wine the family business.

“They went into it with the expectation that there would never be a winery,” Julie said of her parents. “We started different careers very far away. It just didn’t seem likely.”

He graduated from Rice and went to business school. She graduated from Stanford and lived in Europe for a few years with her husband, Fredrik, who has a background in banking.

But both siblings retained those memories of helping to launch a vineyard just as Texas wines were gaining popularity.

Their parents were ready to retire. Suddenly, the idea of keeping the Kuhlken tradition alive didn’t seem so far-fetched.

“For the next 10 years, we moved on,” Julie said. “We’d reached a point where it was the time to try starting this business.”

In 2005, the Kuhlkens launched Pedernales Cellars near Fredericksburg.

Their first vintage was the following year.

“The timing worked out,” David said.

“Every year you’re dealing with entirely new challenges. It’s never boring. It’s been great.”

David is the winemaker at Pedernales, while Julie works more behind the scenes as the communications and design director. They have since assembled a staff of almost a dozen, but remain involved in the day-to-day operations.

“We’re doing almost all of it, top to

E L I Z A B E T H YG A R T U A

Tasting room manager Mike Igo (above) and the team at Pedernales Cellars are proud of their award-winning view and wines. bottom,” David said. “There’s room for entirely different interests and skills.”

The winery, which was finished in 2008, includes various tasting rooms and an outdoor wood patio to welcome visitors.

David said that while he inherited the love of wine from his parents, he also educated himself through working at a coop farm for a couple of years, as well as other wineries. He also brought in some outside people to lend experience and expertise.

The Kuhlkens have since expanded the 17-acre family vineyard, located north of Fredericksburg, and it still supplies most of the grapes for Pedernales.

But the winery also buys grapes from other vineyards throughout the state in order to diversify supply and negate climactic factors in the sometimes rough Texas terrain.

The winery has won several awards for its vinification, with handcrafted specialties including Tempranillo among reds and Viognier on the white side.

Pedernales is a “boutique” winery, meaning its wines aren’t mass-marketed, and volume is kept relatively small. Still, some of its vintages are sold at Whole Foods Market and other retailers in Texas.

“It was never a hobby. We were always serious about making commercially successful wines,” Julie said. “We’re developing along with the Texas wine industry. You’re seeing higher quality wines in Texas, and that helps.”

Wine Getaway Makes Great Weekend

A

s soon as the thermometer in my car started reading 90 degrees, I was ready to flee Dallas — and quickly. After a 4.5-hour drive, and a friend and I were cooling off with local wine in Fredericksburg, where boutiques have been transformed into wine stores and restaurants feature local vintages.

In the past 20 years, the area has become home to a flourishing wine community, particularly along U.S. Highway 290. Check wineroad290.com to see if your visit corresponds with monthly restaurant-winery pair-up events hosted by a collective of 13 of the wineries along the road.

ELI Z ABETH YG ARTUA We started at Pedernales Cellars at 10 a.m. on a Saturday, which may sound early, but the lesson of the turtle and the hare applies when one is spending the day tasting wines.

“We want people to enjoy themselves, but this is not a bar,” said tasting room manager Mike Igo. I don’t know much about

wine. I know when I like something, and when I don’t. Luckily Pedernales was serving up plenty of “edutainment,” which starts with hiring people who know and love wine, Igo said.

The tasting menu is changed monthly and features both reds and whites. Don’t expect a California wine, said Igo, who once lived and worked there.

Soil differences in the Hill Country produce more Spanish-style grapes including Grenaches and Tempranillos. Many wines on Pedernales’ menu and at the other wineries are blends of estate grapes and grapes from the Texas High Plains near Lub-

bock.

After lunch in town, we went to Becker Vineyards, one of the oldest and most established vineyards in the area. Becker also grows fields of lavender in addition to acres of grapes. A $12 tasting buys you 6 tickets and a souvenir wine glass.

We split our tastings and managed to try 12 wines. Our favorite was a perfectly refreshing 2012 Fleur Sauvage, a white blend with a hint of grapefruit.

A close second was a 2012 Reserve Chardonnay that had hints of lavender and honey and which tasted like a garden in my mouth.

Becker also aims to entertain

and educate, offering free hourly tours on weekends of the winery that cover its history and process.

Our last stop along the road was at Hilmy Cellars, which is also a working farm and much newer than both Pedernales and Becker. Hilmy aims to have its first estate harvest in the next 14 months. Their wines didn’t show the maturity of those at the other two wineries, but it was still enjoyable.

If it’s still too hot for your taste to visit the Hill Country this August, wait until October, aka Texas Wine Month. It’s sure to be a smash.

LIVING WELL MDs Give Clients Royal Treatment Concierge Services Cater to Patients

By Paige Skinner

Special Contributor When Dr. James Pinckney was a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, one of his celebrity patients asked him to call their doctor close to midnight.

A little hesitant, Pinckney called.

After no fuss from the doctor, he wondered why just the elite had access to their doctor at all hours of the day.

That’s when the idea sparked.

In 2012, Pinckney founded Diamond Luxury Healthcare in Preston Center, part of a growing trend of concierge-style medical services.

With memberships starting at $95 per month for adults and $45 per month for children, clients have 24-hour access to their physician with little to no wait.

That’s including their cell-phone number and email address.

“I think it’s the best-kept secret in Dallas,” Pinckney said.

But Pinckney and his partner Dr. Anthony Lyssy, vice president of operations at Diamond Luxury, said being oncall is better than other physician jobs.

“My family is much more willing to give me up for a quick hour in the evening time than for me to be at work until 10 p.m. charting every night,” Lyssy said.

Pinckney said the average physician spends about eight minutes with their patient. Diamond Luxury spends an average of 60 minutes.

The average physician has about 4,000 to 5,000 patients, while Diamond Luxury’s physicians have a maximum of 500 patients.

C H R I S M C G AT H E Y

As part of his comfort-minded approach to care, Dr. James Pinckney prefers to simply be referred to as “Dr. James.” It even says so on his business card.

“We know all of our clients’ names, their families, their kids’ names, what they enjoy,” he said. “With doing that, it allows better premium care because we tailor their needs around their lifestyle.”

And Diamond Luxury’s office isn’t exactly typical either.

Using windows to light the beige-colored physician rooms with décor hanging on the wall, Diamond Luxury tries to offer a more soothing feeling for its patients. It has two physician rooms, as well as an operating room for small procedures.

Pinckney gave an example of one of his patients being cut by a wine glass.

The patient texted him a picture, met

him at the office, got stitched up, and was home within the hour. If he would have gone to the emergency room, it could have taken much longer.

For Sharon Quick, the idea to create Park Cities Healthcare came after working with a patient with dementia.

Six years later, the concierge medical service has two registered nurses, including Quick — along with 22 patients and more than 40 caregivers.

The caregivers stay at a patient’s home in 12-hour shifts, constantly updating the RN with text messages, phone calls, and pictures.

But Quick explained she is more than just a nurse.

She said she buys groceries for her patients, fixes sprinklers, and does whatever they need.

“We handle everything,” she said.

“Our caregivers are doing the cooking and cleaning and caregiving. Sometimes they’ll do the grocery shopping.

Once a month, just to save my patients money, I’ll do a big-box Sam’s Club run and buy massive amounts of things and put it on the bill.”

Quick and Pinckney agreed concierge medical services are a growing trend.

“This is 100 percent the future of health care,” Pinckney said. “There’s no question about it.”

YWCA Empowers First-Time Mothers

By Claire Kelley

People Newspapers Angelica is one of many in Dallas’ low-income population, and at age 13, she found out she was pregnant.

Now, five years later, Angelica has earned her high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and is working toward a nursing degree at the University of Texas at Arlington. Her son, Sebastian, is 4 years Jennifer old and already learning Ware to read.

She owes the success, in part, to the YWCA of Metropolitan Dallas.

“She should have been a statistic and so should Sebastian,” said YWCA CEO Jennifer Ware.

Angelica was part of the YWCA’s Nurse-Family Partnership program, which targets low-income, first-time mothers. The mom is partnered with an registered nurse from the YWCA staff, who guides the mother sometime within her first 26 weeks of pregnancy until the baby is 2 years old. During that time, the nurse makes more than 60 home visits, at first making sure the mother and baby

are progressing healthily, and later moving the family toward self-sufficiency.

“We didn’t make Angelica who she is.

She made herself who she is,” Ware said.

“We just gave her all the tools, resources, and support to be able to do that, and that’s a little bit amazing.”

Ware has been with the organization since 2009, and from the start has been trying to get the word out about what it has to offer. Along with the Nurse-Family Partnership program, the YWCA supports Dallas women through its Women’s Health and Financial Empowerment programs.

The Women’s Health program helps women who are uninsured or underinsured get mammograms, connect with health-care professionals, and get funding to seek treatment if they are diagnosed with breast cancer, which has been the case with nine YWCA women in the past 16 months.

The Financial Empowerment program is the broadest of the three, and, among other things, includes a financial empowerment workshop series, individualized financial coaching, and a match savings program.

Ballet Great Instructs Students to Feel the Burn Dance class combines ballet, fitness

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Park Cities Dance has been helping locals indulge in their artistic side for six years, but as of this month, there’s a new leading lady of dance in town.

Margot Martin, a native of Richardson and graduate of Ursuline Academy, is returning to Dallas from North Carolina to teach “Ballet Burn,” a ballet-fitness hybrid class that’s already had wild success back east.

“I started Ballet Burn in October of 2010; it’s my baby, or more like my monster,” she joked.

After more than a decade with Carolina Ballet as a founding member, she began training in the gym following a knee injury.

From her unique gym practices, she built a series of exercises based on ballet movements.

“The class ended up stimulating what it feels like when

Margot Martin leads her “Ballet Burn” class in Raleigh, N.C., which combines ballet with more traditional exercises. you perform, which translates to interval training,” she said.

“Your heart rate spikes and comes down quickly.”

When she retired from professional dancing in 2010, her “Ballet Burn” class took off, eventually, to seven different locations around Raleigh.

Feeling the need to move closer to her family, she began to look around for the right studio fit back in Texas.

Enter Jacqueline Porter of Park Cities Dance.

“She had written to me, and her energy pretty much jumped out over the Internet in her

writing,” Porter said. “I really liked her immediately on the phone, and then in person.”

Disappointed with barre classes, Porter herself had been looking to develop or incorporate a more ballet-based exercise class to her studio’s curriculum.

August 1, 2014 - Angela McLean, ACA, Audioprosthologist, has been caring for Dallas and Park Cities customers for over 15 years. Recently, sensing the need of a more “hands-on” approach to hearing health, Angela opened McLean Hearing Center in Preston Center.

“They use a barre, but are not dance-based,” she said of barrestyle classes. “I wanted one rooted in ballet with similar exercises.”

Martin came to Dallas to teach a few preview classes in June, which Porter says were “packed.”

“I only did it for two days, but already felt all the things you want to feel from a great workout. I felt myself stronger and leaner in two days,” Porter said.

Martin will begin teaching free trial classes in the mornings and evenings during the week of Aug. 18.

After that, participants wishing to continue will be able to sign up for various levels of membership.

The classes will round out Park Cities Dance’s already robust course selection: the studio offers ballet, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, vocal, and acting classes, to name a few.

“It’s just this wonderful collective energy that’s rooted in the joy of movement,” Martin said of teaching. “They just are coming to move and I love that.

The center offers the same client service that Angela is well-known for, at no charge. McLean Hearing Center is a full service provider, offering extraordinary solutions in hearing care products, services, prevention and counseling. For more information, visit mcleanhearingcenter.com.

Stephany Coleman discovered the YWCA while looking for volunteer opportunities. She started out teaching the financial empowerment workshop and is now the YWCA’s financial education coordinator.

“You really get the chance to see people’s lives change,” Coleman said. “You see people grow, and I think you grow as well.”

The programs are offered at more than 20 nonprofit agencies in the area because of the lack of space at YWCA’s headquarters, which are tucked away in a 12-story office building.

The organization is working to establish its own space in the community. The building will include a roomy corporate office, training and coaching rooms, a computer lab with Internet access, and more.

“There are a few hurdles we’ve hit and we’re trying to figure out our strategy to get over that hurdle,” Ware said. “The best part is knowing that we’re all working together to help move women and families forward.”

COMMUNITY Longtime Judge Leaves HP Bench

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers On June 9, something happened at Highland Park Town Hall that hasn’t happened in 45 years. Pat Robertson retired from his position to make room for a new town judge.

Al Hammack, who had served as town attorney for nearly 20 years, stepped into the position, with full knowledge of the shoes he had to fill.

“He truly acted justly, he loved mercy, and he walked humbly,” Hammack said.

Robertson is among the top five longest-serving municipal judges in Texas with his 45-year tenure. He’s also a lifelong Park Cities resident and Highland Park High School graduate.

As town judge, Robertson was responsible not only for overseeing court hearings and legal proceedings, but also arraigning detainees and working with law enforcement.

“It was absolutely an incredible experience,” Robertson said. “You go down to the jail and you never know what you’re going to run into.”

But no matter what situation arose, Hammack recalls Robertson treating each case with courtesy, understanding, and patience.

“He has a very comforting style that is not threatening at all,” Hammack said.

“I know of many occasions when people were very upset and he was able to calm them down.”

Following his graduation from HPHS in 1954, Robertson attended Texas A&M University and later enrolled in the Marine Corps. He completed his law degree, married, and started his own family back in Highland Park.

During that time, he witnessed many changes to the town’s operations. Notably, he saw Highland Park’s fire, police,

Judge Pat Robertson says goodbye to Highland Park Town Hall after 45 years of service. Robertson was among the top five longest-serving municipal judges in Texas. and paramedic departments unite in 1977 to become the Department of Public Safety.

“The police officers had to be triple-trained,” he said. “Of course, they’re all bright, degreed, young people.”

As for Hammack, he was selected for the position following closed sessions of the Town Council while members reviewed candidates.

A native of Highland Park as well, Hammack’s father served as mayor in the 1980s. Following his time as a felony chief prosecutor for Dallas County, he came into his position with Highland Park.

Oddly enough, Hammack sought Robertson’s counsel on career advice more than 20 years ago. Robertson advised him to pursue becoming town attorney.

“Soon thereafter, word went out that

they were taking applications and considering candidates,” Hammack said. “Here we are 20 years later, and I get to follow the man that was so wise and so important to me.”

But he’s not the only one singing Robertson’s praises. Throughout Town Hall, many officials have memories to share regarding the judge’s dedication to the job.

“He is a great guy,” town spokesman Lance Koppa said. “Many times, I saw him early in the morning or late at night when he’d come in to arraign people.”

But for Robertson, it’s the work of the public safety department as a whole that makes the entire operation so special.

“It’s the safety and protection that these people enjoy,” he said of residents benefiting from service. “It’s like nowhere I’ve ever seen.”

“I was going through things in my house that were too nice to just give away,” founder and University Park Peggy resident Peggy Sutcliffe Sutcliffe said of the June 2013 launch.

Originally, it was an “open group” in that anything posted would show up in friends’ feeds, resulting in more requests to join.

The group has grown to nearly 10,000 members, with more than 8,500 awaiting approval.

Only Park Cities residents or those in surrounding neighborhoods are accepted. Everyone who wants in must send Sutcliffe a message directly.

Ellen Show Honors HP Grad For Good Deeds

By Claire Kelley

Special Contributor Ford Yates spent his spring break saving a stranger’s life.

It all started when Yates, a 19-year-old Highland Park High School graduate, attended a bone marrow drive at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church last summer and became a volunteer to donate, then three months later found out that he was a match for a dying man.

After months of blood work and conference calls with doctors and his family, Yates and his mother set off to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, Calif., to start the procedure.

The week leading up to the surgery was extremely painful for Yates. A donor is hooked up to IVs in both arms.

The blood runs through a machine, then back into his veins. Five days before the surgery, doctors administer painful shots in each side of the donor’s stomach that increases the stem-cell count in bone marrow.

“The doctor described it to me as shaking a bottle of champagne… and the surgery is popping the cork,” Yates said.

“I felt frail and weak, kind of like an old man. The last day before the procedure,

I would take a breath in and my sternum felt like it was going to break in half.”

Yates wasn’t allowed to know anything about the man in need of the transplant except that he was 63 years old and diagnosed with leukemia. One month after the procedure, he found out that the man survived and was released from the hospital.

“I was just relieved,” Yates. “It’s been awesome to be able to share a story and help his family, but nerve-wracking at the same time.”

Ellen DeGeneres heard about Yates’ donation and invited him to be a guest on The Ellen Show. Little did he know, she was planning to reward his generosity with a $10,000 cash prize. But first he had to earn it by enduring a car ride with an awkward driver.

Yates appreciated DeGeneres’ comical approach to his appearance on the show.

“The whole process of Ellen was so funny and so lighthearted,” Yates said. “I totally didn’t deserve any of it, but it was so fun and random and such a memory for me and my mom.”

Yates made a video about his experience and encourages his friends and family to volunteer and potentially save

“It was totally rewarding,” said Yates. “It was a huge blessing to get the opportunity to show the [man's] family

that love.”

Yates will get the chance to meet the man who received his donation one year from the procedure, in March 2015.

OBI T UA RY ANN STILLWELL GOLTERMAN HITZMANN

A

nn Stillwell Golterman Hitzmann died on June 18, 2014 in Austin, Texas. She was 84. Ann was born in Kirkwood, St. Louis, Mo. on October 12, 1929 to Margaret Donan and Herbert Golterman. She recounted many memories of her positive and loving family.

Ann’s mother, Margaret, graduated from Washington University in St. Louis. Her uncle, Jim Donan, was an executive for Standard Oil. Ann’s first cousin, son of Jim, Holland “Hollie” Donan, was a football lineman for Princeton. He was known for giving his team pep talks, and achieved college football Hall of Fame status. Later, he played for the New York Giants. Her father, Herbert, began a fence building business in St. Louisi, which was known as Herbert Golterman Company, later Golterman and Sabo, Inc., and today, G&S Acoustics. The Goltermans were involved in many civic and cultural endeavors, including the creation of the MUNY, the Municipal Opera, in St. Louis, which was the first, and is the oldest outdoor theatre

in the United States. The MUNY was orchestrated by Ann’s uncle, Guy Golterman. Guy was a prominent lawyer and civic leader in St. Louis, during the 1900s.

Ann remembered going to Uncle Guy’s house where family would sing and play instruments. She described her Golterman family as positive, gregarious, and adventuresome.

As a child, she took tap, and was given lessons in violin and piano. Ann said she did not like lessons, but would much rather go to the opera with her father, Herb. Her mother, Margaret, was often entertaining at home.

She recalled dances her mother arranged for her and friends at their home on Jefferson Avenue. As a child and teenager, Ann had fond memories of traveling by train with her brother, Ed, and mother to Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. They stayed with her Donan side of the family, elder cousin, George, and his daughter, and cousin, Gladys Green. They had a grand time and memories of the Cape were some of her best. While in

Cape Cod, much to her mother’s dismay, Ann would suntan. Ann enjoyed having a really dark tan.

At Treecourt, the neighborhood pool in Kirkwood, she wore a white bathing suit, which she said complemented her tanned skin. Ann referred to her suntanned skin as her “dirty tan.”

Ann graduated from Kirkwood High School; and in 1950, from Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., a two-year college, at that time. Her first job after college was a librarian.

Ann married Douglas Ramsey Hitzmann on November 17, 1953, and moved to Dallas. In the early years of their marriage they traveled by car from Dallas to Mexico City, Mexico twice

to see the horse races. Ann and Doug settled in University Park.

They raised two daughters, Margaret Louise and Cecilia Ann. She paid it forward in the Park Cities and Dallas communities by being a member of the League of Women Voters, a founding member of the Stephens College Alumnae Club of Dallas and a Girl Scout leader. Ann was a past president of the Dallas Stephens College Club. She believed in raising money for charities and walked door-to-door collecting money for cancer and heart disease. She taught preschool at the Park Cities YMCA and the University Park Methodist Church.

In the 1970’s, she was recruited and worked with Hugh Washburne at the election polls, held at Highland Park High School.

Ann volunteered over 10,000 hours at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.

After teaching preschool, Ann continued to care for children up into her mid-70s. For this endeavor, she is most known and loved, having raised many a child in the Park Cities.

Ann is preceded in death by her husband, Douglas Ramsey Hitzmann. He died three

months prior to her on March 4, 2014. Ann is survived by her only sibling, Edward Golterman, daughters, Margaret Horn and Cecilia Lynch, grandchildren, Sam and Kate Horn, Philip and Camille Howells, sons-in-law, Jim Horn and John Lynch. Ann is survived by numerous Golterman, Goltermann, and Donan cousins.

Ann believed one should lead by example. She believed in acknowledging folks and making them feel at home. Ann made a friend wherever she went.

The family would like to thank San Carlos Street and Potomac Avenue neighbors, assisted living staff at the William R. Courtney Home in Temple, Texas, and the Christopher House of Austin, Texas, who provided hospice. In lieu of flowers, please give back to your family and community.

Funeral services were held July 21, 2014, St. Michael Chapel, St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, 8011 Douglas Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75225.

The reception followed the funeral at the church. Burial was at Oak Lawn Cemetery in West Plains, Mo.

t about 80,000 miles, I’ve discovered over the course of a lifetime, my automobiles begin to need replacement parts. I’m not talking about tires and batteries, but alternators and transmissions.

This is when the expense of repairs makes getting a new car a viable option. Baby boomers are discovering that the same can be said for body parts. Since we have no idea what the ultimate mileage on our own model is, we begin the patching up.

Long gone are the days when I bounded out of bed and gulped down a multivitamin. There are my morning and my night meds: cholesterol, thyroid, allergies, bone density, yada yada and quelle bore. Right now, my joints and muscles are my most acute problem.

I’m scheduled for rotator-cuff surgery on the left side.

I’m left-handed and not ambidextrous.

I’ve done my best with regular exercise, but eons of lifting children, grandchildren, groceries, and the dog have bested all my efforts with Nautilus and Pilates. Friends have helped me figure out what kind of shirts and pants are easiest to maneuver, and how to clip a hair dryer on a stand so you only need one hand to comb out and “style.”

Eating is the biggest nuisance. Hence I’m standing over a hot stove on a 90-plus degree day making nutritious bean soup to freeze for the later ease of drinking out of a mug.

Sandwiches are too labor intensive with one arm in a sling.

Just Some Mileage on These Weary Limbs

FITPARKCITIES.COM

LEN BOURLAND Luckily the new Trader Joe’s just opened in my neighborhood.

Microwavable-vegetable biryani and pakanis looked interesting as well as chicken tikka samesas. I had no idea what they were but they looked user-friendly. After trying them out, I decided not even hydrocodone could change my palate that much. Zucchini fries!

Shades of when I used to try to pass off fried broccoli balls to my picky-eater children as tater tots. Nah, I’m too old for that.

Turkey meatballs. Aha! In my cart. Those I can spear. And potstickers. In my cart. But this got me thinking. I can let my fingers do the walking with Chinese and pizza home delivery. Spring rolls and dipping sauce and those pizzas that are cut into bite sized squares from Campisi’s. Yum. I can wash it all down with lemonade laced with Metamucil and a pain pill!

Ah, summer. While I’m confined, I can kick back on my sofa with an icepack on my shoulder reading beach books even though only sofa surfing. Just getting a little more mileage out of life.

Len Bourland can be reached on her blog at len@lenbourland. com.

“You can post up to eight images of your item, add videos, and add more detailed information,” she said of the site.

Posts will also be categorized, searchable, and feed directly into Facebook. Members will also be able to auction off items, pay by PayPal, rate other members, and participate in a chat room.

Though it will be free initially, members will eventually pay a $3.33 monthly fee.

The fee will not, however, be applied to the Facebook group.

“The site is to help make the experience better,” Sutcliffe said. “Membership will allow this concept to continue and evolve for the longer term.”

HENRY S. MILLER SET THE SCENE Mogul helped transform Village into destination

By Jacie Scott

Special Contributor In 1976, Highland Park Village did not embody the presence, fine dining, and shopping that we enjoy today. It was in a state of disorder. The grounds looked shabby, there was an odd mix of tenants, and investors showed little interest in the property.

Until the Henry S. Miller Company stepped in.

Rather than selling the property like they were Greg Miller originally hired to do, Henry S. Miller Jr. and his son, Vance Miller, saw great potential and acquired the land themselves.

The father-son duo set out to revamp the image of the landmark by renovating, landscaping, and letting proper tenants.

The company brought in Ralph Lauren, creating the first lease of its kind with a retail store.

A second major move that was originally deemed controversial was the closing of the beloved Los Vaqueros restaurant to bring in Tex-Mex hot spot Mi Cocina. Miller Jr.’s wife, Juanita, had a large hand in this shift.

Ultimately, the company created a venue with high-end retail and dining, but maintained the service tenants that served the needs of the community.

“They turned the Village into a worldclass shopping center,” said Greg Miller, president and CEO of Henry S. Miller Companies and son of the late Vance Miller. “It really was a family effort. My uncle, Henry S. Miller III, and my aunt, Jackie Stewart, were very much a part of the project, as well.”

To date, it is still very much a family business.

Henry S. Miller is one of the largest full-service, independent, commercial real estate firms in Texas.

In addition to Highland Park Village, Henry S. Miller Companies is responsible for Preston Royal Village and other prominent landmarks that have shaped Dallas.

“Our story is the story of Dallas,” Miller said. “We watched our city grow into an international city. Likewise, our company grew along with it and played a big

The Miller family opened shop in 1914, becoming a leader in Dallas real estate.

part in seeing that growth.”

Henry S. Miller Sr. launched the company in 1914, just one year after the founding of the town of Highland Park.

It started as a one-man shop and grew into one of the most respected companies in the business with regional offices spanning six cities. It was the first to create specialty divisions within a real estate firm, offering a retail group, office group, industrial group, land group, and so on.

Several prominent names in the local real-estate community began with Hen-

ry S. Miller Companies, including Roger Staubach and Virginia Cook.

Sam Kartalis is proud to be in that number, as well. Kartalis began his real estate career with Henry S. Miller in 1974 before pursuing his own ventures. In 1994, Kartalis returned to the company as president and chief operating officer.

He’s proud of the legacy that has been created by the firm.

“The company has done so much in influencing the growth of Dallas and for

The two-story traditional residence with over 5,700-square feet of living exudes charm and character throughout.

Hand-scraped hardwood floors complement the entry, formal dining room, family room and library. A massive family room offers thirteen-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling casement windows, gas-log fireplace, attached projector screen and an adjacent alcove with bow windows.

The gourmet kitchen is equipped with a center island, granite countertops, ample cabinetry, dual ovens, built-in refrigerator and an adjacent breakfast room. An adjoining sitting room off the kitchen provides access to a covered patio.

A comfortable den is appointed with a wood-beamed ceiling, gas-log fireplace and a wet bar.

Additionally on the first floor is

a handsome paneled library with a unique, wood-beamed ceiling, floorto-ceiling fireplace and an attached full bath.

Four bedrooms along with three-full baths are located upstairs. The master suite features a tray ceiling, fireplace, French doors to a spacious balcony and a beautiful spa-like bath.

The backyard oasis, perfectly suited for relaxing or entertaining, includes an expansive covered porch with builtin grilling station, television, flagstone decking, pool and spa.

“3102 Saint Johns must be seen in person to appreciate the generous room proportions and wonderful entertaining areas,” notes Tom Rhodes, Jr. For more information or to schedule a private showing, contact Tom Rhodes at 214.202.7008 or tom@daveperrymiller.com.

providing the platform for so many entrepreneurial real estate startups,” Sam Kartalis said.

Greg Miller looks forward to continuing the legacy. He took the reigns of the company in April following the passing of his father, Vance Miller.

He believes his father’s most admirable quality was his “thou shalt not whine” mentality.

Pair that with the gentle giant demeanor that he saw in his grandfather, Henry S. Miller, Jr., and you get the foundation for the fourth generation Miller’s leadership.

“I try to embody those two great character traits. A powerful gentleman with a mental toughness,” Miller said. “Our

The facade consists of an interwoven blend of horizontal, rectangular shapes in a balanced, asymmetrical arrangement, which architect Richard Davis compares to a Mondrian painting.

The backyard, designed by landscape architect Matthew Murrey, features a rectangular pool, echoing the house’s rectangular motif.

The kitchen is the only distinctly defined space in the otherwise open concept floor plan.

The glassed-in staircase allows for fluid movement between floors.

Dallas-based architect Richard Davis began his career designing modernist houses. Davis earned his graduate degree in architecture at Princeton under post-modern architect Michael Graves, who was greatly influenced by French master Le Corbusier. Davis and his firm, Richard Drummond Davis Architects, relied on his modernist teaching in their latest Preston Hollow house.

Summer Heat Cools Down Hectic Housing Market

By Todd Jorgenson

PARK CITIE S

People Newspapers As Mother Nature turns up the Texas heat this summer, the local housing market has started to cool down.

But that doesn’t necessarily reflect a negative trend for buyers or sellers in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow. It’s more of a product of the desire of homeowners to escape for the summer.

“The more affluent areas of town have more people that go out of town for the summer, so they’re not as apt to be searching for property,” said Brady Moore, an agent with Dave Perry-Miller and Associates. “I feel like it’s finally starting to settle down a little bit lately.”

Moore said the more relaxed pace to the market follows a feeding frenzy that marked the first few months of the year in which demand was generally high, and prices escalated to match.

“It has slacked off some, but I think that’s more seasonal than anything,” Cammack said.

“We’re still seeing extremely high prices, and the demand is

still there.”

According to statistics compiled by the North Texas Real Estate Information System, the number of closed sales in the Park Cities spiked in June compared to the year-to-date average, and the number of active listings has increased considerably while median price has dropped. In Preston Hollow,

the number of active listings has gone up along with the median price for sales.

“I feel like we’re starting to get more inventory in a lot of areas,” Moore said. “They’re hearing about people getting top-dollar prices and they’re wanting to get in on that before it possibly changes.

There’s still plenty of compe-

tition out there.”

Moore and Cammack agreed that despite the summer lull, it’s still a seller’s market, as long as the sellers remain reasonable with their price expectations.

“The upper end has kind of slowed down,” Cammack said.

“Hopefully we’ll still have the buyers out there this summer.”

In particular, Moore said activity has been high among lower price points in both the Park Cities and Preston Hollow this summer. Meanwhile, inventory is growing among topend properties.

“Buyers are willing to pay top dollar, but they’re not willing to make a lousy financial investment just to get something,” Moore said.

Cammack said the housing market overall is showing signs of sustained growth consistent with economic progress.

“With so many people moving to the area, I think it will remain like that for a while,” he said.

Developer Focuses on Urban Density in Oak Park

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers While it might be best known for large suburban subdivisions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, David Weekley Homes is thinking smaller with one of its current projects.

The Houston-based company is nearing completion on Holland Avenue Villas, which includes eight detached townhomes on a property west of Dallas North Tollway, adjacent to the western border of Highland Park.

It’s the sort of smaller urban project that Weekley has successfully launched in cities such as Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, but hasn’t tried much locally.

“The bulk of our business in the Dallas area in the last few years has been new single-family homes,” said Phil Woodward, sales consultant for David Weekley Homes. “In a lot of other cities, we’re doing more of these in-town, higher-densi-

ty projects like this.”

Woodward said the company saw an opportunity to fill a niche with the land in the Oak Park district, which has been vacant for several years.

“It’s unique to that area,” he said.

The three-story luxury townhomes each include three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with balconies and small backyards, along with a shared driveway. They average about 2,000 square feet and are selling for about $500,000 each, with no homeowners’ association obligations.

Weekley already has sold more than half of the villas, with the first buyers scheduled to move in around the end of July, Woodward said. Construction on the rest of the project should be finished by September.

Holland Avenue Villas will be the latest project in the developing multifamily hotspot that includes the Avana West Lemmon luxury complex re-

The Holland Avenue Villas complex is scheduled for completion this fall. cently purchased by Greystar Real Estate. The area was originally was known as Cityville at Oak Park before former developer First Worthing scaled back plans.

Next to the Weekley project, Lennar Multifamily Communities has submitted plans for an apartment complex split by

Holland Avenue between Cedar Plaza Lane and Wheeler Street.

The Crest at Oak Park development is slated for two vacant blocks covering more than four acres. The northern building will have up to 160 units, while the southern building will feature up to 87 units, according to development and landscape

plans approved this summer by the Dallas Plan Commission.

Meanwhile, Lennar is building two other complexes under the Crest name in Dallas, one south of Mockingbird Station and the other in the Park Central development.

Village Plans Changes, But Won’t Include Hotel

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Highland Park Village has no plans to install a hotel or underground parking.

“We looked at it,” HPV president Ray Washburne said of both options during a recent work session of the Highland Park Town Council. “Economically, it doesn’t make any sense to do it.”

As for parking problems, Washburne called them an “urban myth” and stated that any issues with parking generally occur around the Christmas holiday and other special events.

Major changes that are coming mainly consist of retail or restaurant comings and goings. Safeway did not renew Tom Thumb’s lease, so an undisclosed, boutique grocer will move into the corner spot to face Preston Road.

Number One will move to an interior-facing spot, and St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange will move down a spot.

Hermes, which currently occupies the old Williams-Sonoma spot, will move back to its home and become

two-story to house more inventory such as furniture.

Patrizio’s did not renew its lease, so the space will be converted to house another undisclosed restaurant of American fare. A doctor’s office above Patrizio’s has already been vacated to accommodate the new restaurant.

“People always ask when we will be done with the Village,” Washburne said. “We’ll never be done with the Village.”

Other changes are mainly cosmetic, such as adding ivy along Mockingbird Lane and “cleaning up” alley areas near Jimmy Choo and Patrizio’s to increase aesthetic appeal.

Eventually, Washburne would like to replace the sidewalks — which date back to the 1970s — with brick.

“I wanted, when you walk in the Village, to feel like you’re in a European town,” Washburne said.

Members of the council said the “rumor mill” has run rampant about tenants that are and are not leaving the Village, or a “master plan” for development. An example: Deno’s and Mi Coci-

“From my perspective, these are housekeeping issues,” Mayor Joel Wil-

liams said. “I believe [representatives of the Village] have been very honest.”

2014 TOP REAL ESTATE PRODUCERS

T

he process of producing the list of D Magazine’s best residential real-estate agents in the area started by mailing nomination ballots to 383 previous Best Real Estate Agent winners, as well as thousands of magazine subscribers and recent home buyers. We asked recent home buyers and subscribers to evaluate up to two agents they have worked with. We asked them to rate the agents based on customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication, negotiation, post-sale service, and overall satisfaction. We asked mortgage and title companies to nominate up to three real-estate agents they work with closely. And we asked previous Best Real Estate Agents to nominate up to three agents — one with their firm, and two outside their firm. We put all that data into an algorithm placing emphasis on feedback received from consumers, subscribers, and the recent home buyers. We then screened nominees to make sure that licenses were up-to-date and there had been no disciplinary action. The final makeup of the list is the sole determination of the D Magazine editorial staff. * D E N O T E S B O T H B E S T R E A L E S TAT E A G E N T A N D T O P P R O D U C E R

SPECIAL ADVERTISING CONTENT DAVE PERRY MILLER & ASSOCIATES

Haven Group Joins DPM&A The roster at Dave Perry-Miller & Associates has grown by more than a dozen agents with the addition of the Haven Group, a team that closed more than $75 million worth of sales last year.

The Haven Group is led by Chris Pyle (pictured), a Waco native who has lived in Dallas since shortly after graduating from Texas A&M University in 1998. He follows in the footsteps of his father, Jim, who once sold real estate out of an office in Snider Plaza. With a decade of experience under his belt, Pyle formed the Haven Group in 2012.

“I’ve always worked in a group atmosphere, and it’s been an integral part of growing my business since I first received my license,” Pyle said. “It offers new agents day-to-day training that is not available in most offices, and it creates a sense of accountability for a new entrepreneur.”

Pyle said he’s excited about the benefits his team will enjoy at Dave Perry-Miller & Associates, from upgraded marketing and technology to the advantages that come from being with a firm that has multiple offices.

“It’s time to take another step for our group,” he said.

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates (daveperrymiller.com) is an Ebby Halliday Company with five area locations that specialize in marketing the key areas of the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Uptown, Lakewood, East Dallas, and Kessler Park. Dave Perry-Miller & Associates is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio International, luxuryportfolio.com.

Teen Skips His Way to National Regatta HPHS grad first learned to sail in Northeast

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Tyler Killion grew up in the Park Cities, but he learned his craft more than 2,000 miles away.

It was during visits to his grandparents’ summer house on the coast of Maine that Killion picked up sailing, a sport that has since developed into his passion.

Tyler Killion Killion, who graduated from Highland Park High School in May, will compete in the U.S. Junior Championships regatta beginning Aug. 4 in Traverse City, Mich.

For Killion, it will be the biggest accomplishment yet in a journey that began when he enrolled in a couple of sailing camps in New England at a young age.

He entered his first regatta in Fort Worth at age 9, joined a couple of clubs at White Rock Lake, and has been racing ever since.

“Being on the water, you’re controlling the boat and controlling where you want to go,” Killion said. “Every time you get out on the water, you get better.”

Killion was a skipper in the solo Optimist class from 2008 to 2010 before switching to the two-man Club 420 class, which involves a 14-foot monohull dinghy with three sails.

Tyler Killion and Zane Tennell will team up in the U.S. Junior Championships regatta in August in Traverse City, Mich.

In 2012, he sailed as part of a team in the C420 class at the U.S. Junior Triplehanded Championship in San Francisco.

At the national meet in August, he will be paired with 16-year-old Zane Tennell from Corpus Christi.

The pair is undefeated this season.

“We never get to practice together, but we’ve won every regatta so far this year,” Killion said.

He also was involved in track and cross country growing up, and dabbled in golf

and tennis, but settled on sailing as his sport of choice in the landlocked Park Cities.

He even started a sailing club at HPHS, but it was disbanded after a semester because of low membership.

“I’m always traveling somewhere for a regatta,” said Killion, who races about once per month.

He aspires to reach the pinnacle of the sport, which for sailors is either the Olympics or the America’s Cup. Killion will en-

roll this fall at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I., which has one of the top collegiate sailing programs in the country.

Killion also hopes to continue promoting the sport. This summer he is teaching youngsters at the Northeast Harbor Fleet in Maine, but he also has coached in North Texas for the past four years.

“Sadly, sailing is slowly dying in Texas,” he said. “If I can try to help get those kids into it, hopefully it can help grow the sport.”

Staff Turnover Doesn’t Faze Scots During Summer

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Highland Park might not be changing its offseason routine as it readies for a jump to Class 6A this fall, but that doesn’t mean the Scots aren’t prepared.

At least that’s the feeling of head coach Randy Allen, who has seen plenty of positive signs both on and off the field since the conclusion of spring drills in May. The Scots solidified their offensive chemistry while winning the prestigious EOC Playmakers regional tournament

in June. While their subsequent performance in state qualifying tournaments in Rowlett and Midlothian was Randy Allen subpar, Allen said his skill players showed progress.

“We do so much 7-on-7 during spring training against ourselves,” Allen said. “The main focus of the summer is just to get them back out there throwing and catching, and I want it to be fun for them.”

Allen also is pleased with the

consistent attendance among players at HP’s voluntary summer strength and conditioning sessions four times each week.

HP has faced an unusually high degree of turnover on its coaching staff since last season.

Almost the entire defensive staff will be new this fall, including new defensive coordinator Don Woods, who has been the defensive line coach for the last five years. He replaces Mark Howeth, who left the Scots to become the defensive coordinator at DeSoto.

“He knows our system and our players know it and they be-

lieve in it. We’re going to stick with our same scheme,” Allen said of Woods, who will continue to coach the 3-4 alignment HP has employed since 2004.

“We think that’s the best thing for our team.”

Three of the new defensive assistants were promoted from the freshman level — David Clarke (cornerbacks), Bobby Leidner (defensive line), and Daren Eason (outside linebackers).

Other additions to the defensive staff include David Hall (inside linebackers) and Toby Trotter (safeties). Todd John

(inside receivers) and Blake Spivey (running backs) will join the offensive staff, although both have experience with the HP program. John was the head coach at Crandall for the past two years.

HP completed its 2013 season with a loss to Denton Guyer in the Class 4A Division I state semifinals in December. The Scots will start fall practice on Aug. 11, then will travel to Plano West for a scrimmage on Aug. 22 before starting the regular season Aug. 30 against Frisco Centennial in the Tom Landry Classic at SMU.

Area Rowers Win Big at National Competition

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Just because North Dallas is landlocked doesn’t mean its students can’t dominate in crew.

Ask any of the athletes from ESD, Jesuit, St. Mark’s, and Hillcrest High School who participated and placed in the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships this summer.

“As a team, it was wonderful,” said ESD junior Julius Stener.

“We all worked really hard for the last few weeks — and years — of our lives.”

ESD had three boats compete at the invitational competition in Sacramento, Calif. Stener’s boat placed among the top five race times overall.

“I didn’t know I would fall in love with it so much,” he said of the sport.

ESD’s coach, Cait Dunn, is a graduate of the school herself, adding a unique perspective to her coaching experience.

​E M I LY G O S S E T T

Members of Jesuit’s crew team perfect their craft. Jesuit sent one boat of eight competitors to the invitational event.

“I held onto what I learned,” she said. “I wanted nothing more than to come back to my

alma mater and show them what my experience was like at ESD, because it was truly life-changing.”

One thing all the schools had in common, though, was the hard work required to make it to nationals.

“It was a great experience to represent our region and for our guys to push themselves to reach the next level,” Jesuit head coach John Fife said.

Jesuit sent an eight-man boat

to the competition held June 1315, which is open to club teams and schools. The team placed 17th out of 132.

“I’d say race for race, this was probably our best year,” Fife said.

“They know the work they put in [during] those winter months will pay off in the spring.”

No doubt, that’s a sentiment shared by all the rowers.

Hillcrest High School graduate Collin McKinney began rowing with the White Rock Rowing

club team his freshman year of high school.

He and his partner, Robert Bolt, won nationals this year in men’s youth pair.

“I was splashing water everywhere,” he said. McKinney will row at Temple University this fall. “It was very satisfying to know my hard work actually paid off and that for everybody who had supported us all the way there, we didn’t let anyone down.”

The 4,000 square foot, zero-lot line home at 8 Bluff Park Lane combines great design and convenient living. Listed by Sandy Petruska for $799,000.

Deciding to move up, move out or move onto a new phase of life brings up many questions that can be answered by an expert agent who can advise on strategies for making the most of today’s market.

One agent from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty recently met with clients considering a move to a smaller, lock and leave home that would allow them to travel easily during their post parenting years. After assessing the cost of utilities, taxes, insurance, maintenance and more for their aging home, the couple determined that a new home in a zero-lot line neighborhood would be a better investment and free up assets that could be used for travel and adventure.

Another agent worked with a family to outline a two-year plan to sell their current home and lease in one of Downtown’s beautiful high-rise homes. The

family wanted to sell during a strong market and have the flexibility to take advantage of an upcoming relocation opportunity. They’re truly enjoying the move to urban living.

Although homes sales usually slow during summer, the strong market is continuing, with serious buyers looking for well-maintained, well-priced homes that they can move into by the start of the new school year. Now is a great time to consult with a professional agent who understands the value of the right home for your phase of life.

Girly-Girl Cleats Up For a Cause

I

spent the first 22 years of my life actively avoiding sports.

It wasn’t until I signed up for the Blondes vs. Brunettes powder-puff football game last year, all for the sake of a column in Park Cities People, that I fell in love with the idea of playing sports.

It’s true — I’ve traded my Christian Louboutins for a pair of Nike cleats (boys’ size fourand-a-half, thank you) and joined not only a few flag football teams, but also a kickball team and a softball team. But my favorite team will always be the Brunette “Bru” Crew in BvB, where we play for an amazing cause — raising money to find a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.

This year there was a bit of a debate over which team I’d be playing for — as of six weeks ago, I was sporting honey-blonde hair and wondering if I would have to switch teams this year. But for many reasons, I went back to my roots, and will be returning as a cornerback for the Brunette “Bru” Crew. I’d also like to add, from personal experience — blondes don’t have more fun.

We’ve been working on and off the field to reach our goal — no, it’s not to win, though that’d be great — but to raise $400,000 for Alzheimer’s research, treatment, and awareness. This year

would make a lasting impact.

Bowman has since graduated from HPHS and Baylor University, and has enrolled in medical school.

But he has remained involved in the annual soccer camp, even taking over the reins from his father.

“It gives these high schoolers an opportunity to give back.

They really get invested and they love these kids,” Bowman said. “Sometimes they get more out of it than anybody.”

This year’s camp featured about 35 counselors, about half of who are high school soccer players. Special guests included some Dallas-area semipro soccer players, and sponsors donated items such as backpacks and sunscreen for giveaways.

“It’s really fun to build relationships with the kids,” said HPHS senior Megan Uhr, who has volunteered at the camp for

three years. “They really open up to you.”

Brother Bill’s is a mission that supports families in the neighborhood with a food pantry, a medical clinic, and other financial and social assistance.

The students are invited to the camp as a reward for their performance in school.

“The parents love the fact that they have this opportunity for their kids,” said Brother Bill’s executive director Suzanne Griffin. “It impacts their lives.”

Although the counselors make an effort to teach the basics of soccer during the three days, they know that it’s not always the top priority.

Said camp co-director Molly McCann: “Hopefully they come away with more soccer than they came with.”

Campers, Instructors Learn More Than Soccer

People Newspapers No matter how many goals are scored or lessons are learned, everyone is a winner at the annual youth soccer camp sponsored by Brother Bill’s Helping Hand.

That’s true for about 100 children in kindergarten through fifth grade who attend the three-day camp for free, play games on and off the field, and then take home a soccer ball and various other goodies.

It’s also true for the volunteer coaches, who are high school students from Highland Park and other high schools who form lasting bonds with students from the West Dallas neighborhood surrounding the Eladio Martinez Learning Center, many of who face significant economic hardships.
