Be Smart and Generous For Our Kids

ummer is winding down, and in comparison to other years, it’s been a mild one thus far. At my deadline for this column, our temperatures were just flirting with the century mark. It’s August and time to turn our attention to back to school. For those of us without school-age children, we need to make a mental note about school zones and not going to Target on tax-free weekend (Aug. 7-9). I’ve made that mistake before — what a nightmare. To give you some fun ideas for backto-school, our talented duo of assistant editor Sarah Bennett and art director Elizabeth Ygartua teamed up with gifted photographer (and our intern) Tanner Garza to give you some smart strategies to keep your kids organized. Check it out on page 10. There’s also a handy calendar of upcoming school events that you may need to get on your radar. I mentioned I don’t have school-age kids anymore, but an organization at my church is collecting donations to help families in need with back-to-school essentials: school supplies, backpacks, uniforms, and more. If your church or neighborhood school doesn’t have a back-to-school drive, here are a couple that may be of interest to you. Community Partners of Dallas offers three ways you can get involved: create a drive and collect new school supplies to donate, make a financial donation, or volunteer to help with school supply and uniform inventory and packing backpacks. The Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair is a citywide event that partners with several other agencies to provide various methods of assistance on a single day. You can get involved by being

POLICE SKU LD U GGE RY of the M O N T H TO NS O F O NE S Between 12:40 and 12:50 p.m. on July 1, a burglar broke into a white 2014 Jeep Cherokee at Whole Foods Market in the 4100 block of Lomo Alto Drive and stole two envelopes from the center console, each containing 100 onedollar bills. The driver suspects that he might have been followed from a bank where he withdrew the money moments earlier.

HP Man Keeps Wits During Terrifying Armed Ambush

ighland Park police arrested a Duncanville man a few days after a harrowing latenight ambush and armed robbery on June 22. At 1:40 a.m., a robber threatened a man at gunpoint as he sat on his backyard patio in the 3200 block of Cornell Avenue. The crook demanded money, which the victim said he didn’t have. So the victim drove the insistent gunman in his Range Rover to an ATM in the 3000 block of Monticello Avenue in Dallas, so he could withdraw the maximum $500. The two men negotiated in the parking lot before returning to the house, where the victim lunged for the robber’s revolver during another tense confrontation. The homeowner was led upstairs and forced into a clos-

et inside the master bathroom, where he tried to call police as his house was being ransacked. By the time officers arrived, the gunman and an armed accomplice had gathered three bags filled with items including six designer watches, a Louis Vuitton wallet, and clothing. Both men eventually fled on foot to the alley, where they eluded police in a green Mitsubishi SUV. Thankfully, there were no injuries.

E D U C AT I O N Camp Invention Unlocks Creative Minds By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Laci Rosen’s advice is meant to apply to her team of aspiring young inventors, but it could easily serve all walks of life. “When you’re cutting wires, only cut one at a time or else it’s really hard,” said Laci, a fourth-grader at Hyer Elementary School. “You have to have a lot of teamwork.” Laci’s quartet in the Camp Invention summer program was busy trying to figure out its latest challenge — how to disassemble a common household electronic device and use its components to create a prototype for a maze-inspired video game. “We’re using circuit boards and wires to create a game,” said Sean Markey, a fourth-grader at Armstrong Elementary who was dismantling an old computer console. “I like reverse engineering — taking apart the machines. I’ve always wanted to invent or create something.” The weeklong class, which gets its curriculum and supplies from a company in Ohio, was introduced for the first time this year as part of the Academy for Lifelong Learning in Highland Park ISD. It allowed 33 children in first through fifth grades to find new uses for recycled items, such as makeshift go-carts designed to navigate a water-balloon obstacle course. “They take items and do things that they weren’t originally made to do to accomplish some goal,” said Joan Webb, a science teacher at Armstrong who oversees the program. “It allows kids to actualize things that are in their head. They also learn the science behind those prototypes.” At the end of the week, there’s a showcase for parents where both groups and individuals present their projects. Plus,

One of the challenges during Camp Invention involved making a go-cart prototype to navigate a water-filled obstacle course.

"IF I SE E A CA RDB OA RD B OX , I JUST RIP IT UP A ND MA KE S O MET H ING WIT H IT." FINN WALLI NGFORD the students hear taped inspirational messages from real-life inventors in such areas as space exploration, architecture,

and aquatics. Individual creations must be designed to meet a need. There’s even a miniature “Shark Tank” component. For their individual inventions, the hopefuls apply for fictional patents for their ideas then take them to a market for potential investors. “All ages and all levels can benefit from it,” said Armstrong teacher Annaly Pino. “It’s amazing the creativity that they can put into it.” For some students, the creativity they put into their projects is a natural exten-

sion of what they already do with paper or Legos at home. “I’ve been building things at my house for a long time,” said Finn Wallingford, a fourth-grader at Bradfield Elementary who built a cardboard prototype of an airborne military bunker with a rocket launcher. “If I see a cardboard box, I just rip it up and make something with it. I’ve always liked finding out how things work.” Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

New Superintendent Knows Equation For Excellence By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Tom Trigg stepped into the role of Highland Park ISD superintendent on July 27, but the real work is just beginning. Trigg, who stayed in the Blue Valley School District in Kansas until July 24 to help finalize a new budget, now brings that spirit of dedication and tenacity to Highland Park. “When you hear Highland Park, you think of the school district and quality,” he said. “One thing I think you have to look at is the match. Blue Valley is also a suburban, high-per-

forming district, but the difference is there are three times as many students as Highland Park. I looked at the skill set that I have, and there was a really good match.” Among those similar qualities, Trigg lists high academic scores and values as well as community involvement and the quest to continue improving. “First, I want to be a really good listener and understand what it is that Highland Park really values. I have a lot of learning to do,” he said. That’s not to say he doesn’t have priorities.

“There are some broad-brush areas every district needs to be looking at, and one of those is innovation,” he said. “We want to be creative, innovative thinkers to increase the quality of education.” Specifically, Trigg spoke of applying that sense of innovation to integrating technology in schools. His forward thinking convinced many board members that they made the right decision in choosing Trigg to replace Dawson Orr, who left this summer for a faculty position at SMU.

People Newspapers Staying organized through the school year can be a challenge, no matter the age group. But each August brings the chance to start over again. Help your student stay on top of it all with these tips. n LOCKER LAYOUT It all starts with the locker. In order to keep this space organized, gear up. “There are a lot of various products out there at the Container Store and office supply stores with magnets,” said Reanna Wallace of Blissfully Organized. She recommends products with magnets to hold pens and pencils as well as whiteboards

n BETTER BINDERS When it comes to binders going to and from school, common sense is best. “Use tabs and categorize subjects for all the paperwork you will be managing. Use pocket tabs if you don’t have time to punch holes in your papers,” said Dina Taylor of Easily Organized. This will not only help keep your children organized, but it will help clear their minds in order to complete important tasks. “Most can’t think clearly when over-stimulated by excess,” she said.

n HOME HELP “Studies show [students do better by] designating an actual area,” Wallace said. Her own daughter grew up with a desk of her own, say from Ikea or a similar, affordable retailer. “If you get glue on it or write on it, the sky’s the limit — it’s their table.” She also encourages parents with multiple children to create a vertical filing system at home with a calendar. That way, any papers that need to be signed don’t get lost in the shuffle. “That entire area right there is for your kids’ incoming and outgoing action items to review,” she said. With a set plan, each child can succeed at staying organized this school year.

E D U CAT I ON CONTINUED FROM 8 “There’s a great alignment. One of the aspects of getting to know him ... was his experience in all levels, from teaching and coaching to his administrative days,” HPISD school board president Joe Taylor said. “He’s done it and seen it from all different perspectives and has a wealth of knowledge and experience.” That experience includes overseeing a school district during somewhat controversial transitions. Regarding Highland Park’s debate over required reading selections and protocol last school year, Trigg saw similar debate in his previous district. “Blue Valley went through something very similar eight or 10 years ago. I have a pretty good understanding of those kind of controversies and how they come about and how to work through them,” he said. “The key is valuing the opinion of people and being very open, honest, and transparent in the discussion process. You’re going to have people that have strong feelings on both sides of an is-

Trigg’s philosophies in action; he visited each campus on June 1 after he was announced as the lone finalist for the job. “He comes from a high-performing district and clearly understands the expectation of excellence,” Taylor said. “In the weeks since we’ve named him the finalist, he’s started to get engaged in the process, going through and learning about the district and trying to understand the history and traditions.” Email sarah.bennett@ peoplenewspapers.com

2014 Plan to rotate major art throughout mall kicks off

orthPark Center is celebrating its 50th year as a local landmark in August, but its beginnings create a storied past. It all began with co-owner Nancy Nasher’s mother, who was a Dallas native. She met Nasher’s father in Boston, and the couple returned to the bride’s hometown with lofty goals. “He taught himself the real-estate business,” Nasher said of her father, Raymond. “They saw this 95acre cotton field, which was part of the Caruth homestead and owned by the Hillcrest Foundation.” The initial plan was to purchase the land outright. When that didn’t work, they settled on a 99-year ground lease. The couple and their team of developers had three years to plan, design, and finance the shopping center. At the time, all major retail in Dallas was downtown. This was to be the first enclosed, climate-controlled shopping center of its sort in Texas. “They saw this land and they took a risk,” she said. Though the husband and wife were full partners, it was Nasher’s father who convinced Stanley Marcus to open his first satellite store at NorthPark — the first Neiman Marcus apart from the downtown flagship. It became one of three department stores to anchor the center along with 100 inline stores. They pulled together a team of experts: E.G. Hamilton to design the mall, Larry Halprin to design the landscape, and Henry Beck to build it, just to name a few. “[My father] wanted to put together who he thought were the best and brightest in the country,”

Nasher said. What resulted was a center that emphasized aesthetics and nature. The mall grew into its reputation for art and wildlife over a period of decades — the ducks in front of Williams-Sonoma, for example, have been there since day one. “The birds have been there from the beginning. The turtles have been there for over 20 years,” Nasher said. “These are turtles that people people bring to us to be rehabilitated and then we take them to the Texas Wildlife Conservancy.” And then there’s the art. The Nasher family began incorporating sculpture in the 1970s, but before then, the Marcus brothers added sculpture to the Neiman’s garden to honor their mother. “NorthPark is a sequence of aesthetic experiences from a garden to a fountain to a main street of stores,” Nasher said. To celebrate this, NorthPark will launch a charitable initiative on Aug. 19, the actual anniversary, and then celebrate publicly on Aug. 22. That day will include a back-to-school fashion show, model search, and opening of the “Art Meets Fashion” exhibit with the University of North Texas fashion department. In October, the center will host fashion shows with Harper’s Bazaar, a Concert in the Garden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and launch Art Rocks, which will feature local artists. The celebrations will hit a high note with a gala partnered with Neiman Marcus. “We have a lot going on,” NorthPark spokesperson Kristen Gibbins said. “We like talking about how the story of NorthPark has evolved over the years and has turned into one of the top five shopping centers in the country.”

THIS HOUSE HAS THE LIFE OF LANDRY This modest single-story house at 4510 Hallmark Drive was custom built for Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry in 1962, and became his home as he led the team to multiple Super Bowl titles during a Hall of Fame career. || C O U R T E SY P H O T O S

Cowboys legend had a home to match his mood

H 1 The house includes a large enclosed patio with a skylight ➊, a bright dining room with a chandelier ➋, and an open floor plan with overhead beams ➌ and vaulted ceilings ➍. It also features a remodeled kitchen with custom cabinets.

ardcore football aficionados will sometimes go to extreme lengths to get their hands on unique pieces of football memorabilia. So there were no doubt inquiries from a few curious Dallas Cowboys fans when the former Preston Hollow home of legendary coach Tom Landry came on the market this summer. Like the Hall of Fame coach, the house is modest and unassuming, yet elegant and authoritative. However, it’s unlikely the $795,000 price tag will include any forgotten playbooks in the attic or championship rings in the floorboards. Landry had the single-story house custom built for his family in 1962 and owned it

throughout his 29-year tenure with the Cowboys. Since 1994, it had been owned by philanthropist Dorothy Fanoni, who died in March. The 4,000- square-foot home — with four bedrooms and three baths — includes an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, tile floors, and a large enclosed patio with a skylight. Although much of the house retains its traditional architectural design, the recently remodeled kitchen features an assortment of granite countertops and custom cabinets. So regardless of whether potential buyers value its historical connection to gridiron glory, the house that Landry built could be quite a score. — Todd Jorgenson

Art, Architecture Mix For Park Cities Designer Modern not mandatory for Boerder By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Larry Boerder orders his favorite type of pencils from eBay because you can’t find them in stores anymore. He can rattle off the phone numbers of clients without checking his contact list. He uses an old-fashioned drafting table for his plans because, as he says, “I’ve never been very good with CAD.” He’s an old-school architect who’s built his repertoire in and around the Park Cities. A North Dallas native, he felt the call to architecture at a young age; his father was an architect, and today his sister and brother-in-law are also architects. “I was always exposed to it. There’s a picture of me at age 9 in my father’s office drawing,” he said. Boerder was taught modernist architecture at the University of Texas in the 1970s. But when he graduated, like many new alumni, he was unsure of what he wanted to do. “I graduated at the top of my class, but I really felt like I didn’t understand what I was doing,” he said. Eventually, he found his pas-

TA N N E R G A R Z A

Larry Boerder comes from a family of architects, having followed in his father’s footsteps. sion in traditional-style architecture, which seemed to fit his other interests across the board. “I didn’t think I’d become an architect; I thought I’d become a musician, and I’ve had several forays in that regard. But I’ve always needed to make a living, so fortunately that has remained an avocation for me,” he said. “I see a lot of tie-ins between music and architecture, actually.” For example, he sees similarities between Baroque music and Baroque architecture — specifi-

cally, through elements such as ornamentation and structure. His first major project came by way of a classical-style church, and by the 1980s, he was working on houses in the Park Cities — despite the fact that he was essentially self-educated in traditionalism. Continuing his eye for artistic styles, Boerder still keeps detailed sketchbooks from his trips abroad including Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom — but each element he uses must re-

" I D I D N ’ T T HI N K I’D BE C OM E A N A RC HI T E CT; I T H OU G HT I’D BE C OM E A MUS I C I A N . ” L ARRY B O E R D E R

spond appropriately to its environment. “A clay-tile roof works in our climate because it naturally sheds heat,” he said. “That’s why you always see it in southern climates … it was invented by the Etruscans in Italy.” This artistic bent continues to shape Boerder’s work and guide his relationships with clients. Lynn Muse has used Boerder’s skills on a number of projects for more than 20 years: a house on Beverly Drive, a house on Preston Road, a home in Colorado, and her office in the Design District. As an interior designer herself, she’s able to recognize his imaginative eye — even in things beyond architecture. “He’s an incredibly creative person,” she said. “He’s amazing on the piano. I think he has a repertoire of 1,600 songs. [With] his education and experience in classical architecture, I think he understands proportion.” But it’s not just his creative expertise that keeps clients coming back. “Larry was the last architect we interviewed for our project and he won the job in the first five minutes,” Shannon Gilliland said. “Larry, a true artist-scholar, understood and appreciated the project like no other.” Even with all these combined elements, Boerder can boil it down pretty simply. “My goal is to make a house that people will swear has always been there,” he said.

Busy Housing Market Still Favoring Sellers By Todd Jorgenson

PARK CITIE S

People Newspapers Halfway through another year of frantic activity in the local housing market, there are few signs that supply will catch up to demand. Sellers have seen plenty of happy returns in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow during the spring and early summer months, following a trend that has been ongoing as more buyers look to move into the area. “It’s a great market,” said Lindy Mahoney, an agent with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “If you’ve got them priced right, and they’re in a great location, they’re selling.” According to statistics from the North Texas Real Estate Information System, inventory among single-family homes increased in the Park Cities during the second quarter of the year, while prices dipped slightly. But while the number

of active listings is up sharply, so is the number of closed sales. For example, there were 88 houses sold in the Park Cities in June, compared to 67 in March, all while prices continue to hover above $350 per square foot. The numbers are similar in Preston Hollow, where sales and prices have risen in tan-

dem. The 90 sales closed in June were for an average of almost $900,000, compared to 78 deals finalized in March at an average of less than $700,000. Mahoney said sales of higher-end properties tend to slow down during the summer while their owners are on vacation. However, those in medium price ranges are active with buyers wanting to move in be-

fore school starts. “Anything up to about $3 million is flying off the market,” she said. Meanwhile, sales of condominiums and townhomes also are fetching big bucks. The median price for such a sale in Preston Hollow so far this year is $387,000. Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

2015 TOP REAL ESTATE PRODUCERS

he process of producing the list of D Magazine’s best residential real-estate agents in the area started by contacting 15,000 people; mailing nomination ballots to previous Best Real Estate Agent winners, mortgage and title companies 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

LIVING WELL Volunteering is Child’s Play at Scottish Rite By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers “One, two, say Strawberry Shortcake!” a dad calls out to his child posing for a picture with Ms. Shortcake herself. The soundtrack to Disney’s Frozen — the now-famous refrain of “Let It Go” — is playing in the distance. That really gets the crowd going. Suddenly, there are miniature-sized princesses dancing everywhere. That’s because it’s the day of the third annual Character Breakfast at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, put on by its young professionals’ auxiliary, the Crayon Club. “In high school, I volunteered with Scottish Rite and fell in love with the work and the patients,” said Natalie Crow, a Highland Park High School graduate and Character Breakfast co-chair. “I knew I wanted to work with kids.” By the time she graduated with her degree and returned to Dallas, she was looking for ways to reconnect with Scottish Rite. As it turns out, the hospital was in the process of “revamping” the Crayon Club, and Crow has chaired the breakfast for the past three years. “Our goal is to support the mission of the hospital through volunteerism, education, and philanthropy,” she said. “We love to raise money, but at the end of the day, it’s not about the amount raised but raising awareness. More than anything, it’s just such a special place.” At the Character Breakfast, children inside and outside the hospital enjoy a breakfast with their parents that includes a special parade of characters ranging from Disney princesses to superheroes and more. Maddox Womble, who is known as Captain Jack Sparrow for the day, has been on the board of the Crayon Club for five years. “It’s been a huge success, and watching it grow has been cool,” said Womble, who was in character for the first time this year. “It adds another layer.

Characters such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Cinderella, and Spider-Man greet children at the Crayon Club Character Breakfast.

“ SEEING THEIR FACES... KIDS REALLY DO BELIEVE THERE’S MAGIC.” A LYS SA WI LLI AMS ON, A . K . A . CI NDE RE LL A you’re a character, you’re always a character. It makes it all worthwhile when you see a kid’s face connecting in that way. That’s why I do it.” In addition to the parading charac-

ters and breakfast plates, the event also features door prizes, face painting, and a silent auction. With flowers and balloons underwritten by donors, the Crayon Club can focus on giving back. Ticket sales this year reached a high of 300 people. But the Character Breakfast isn’t the only time Crayon Club members interact with kids. They participate in a spring crawfish boil for volunteers, a “Truck or Treat” night in the fall with patients, and a tree lighting in December. They also frequently bring crafts and games to spend time with the kids.

“It’s fun to get them out of their rooms and not focused on why they’re here,” third-year volunteer Rachel King said. As for the big show, the Crayon Club uses about 50 different characters during the breakfast. A number of more volunteers stand ready and waiting in blue T-shirts to help families find their tables and make sure everyone is having a good time. “I Googled how she poses,” fourthyear volunteer Alyssa Williamson said of preparing for her Cinderella role. “Seeing their faces ... kids really do believe there’s magic.”

t’s Texas. It’s summer. It’s hot. For lots of us, that means keeping the heat out of the kitchen with cold salads and grilled meals, which makes it a fun time of year to get creative with your spices and play with flavor in familiar dishes. With Google at your fingertips, it’s easy to figure out specific spice profiles. Say you want to work an Indian influence into your homemade burger and grilled french fries — searching “common Indian spices” will return the basics. Next thing you know, you are sprinkling cumin and coriander into your burger mix, tossing your fries in cinnamon and red chili, and using brown mustard as the main condiment. Or maybe you are bored with the same old salad? Get your avocado on by using avocado oil instead of olive oil in a homemade dressing. Achieve a Tex-Mex feel by blending the oil with ripe avocado, Just Mayo, fresh lemon, fajita seasoning, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Toss with your usual salad ingredients and break up a few tortilla chips on top. Put things on the grill you’ve never considered putting on the grill before. I’ve cracked a bunch of pepper on berries and tomatoes, shaken a dash of celery salt with them, then throw them over the fire for a couple minutes and used that as a sand-

STEPHANIE M. CASEY wich topping. Adding smoked sea salt to any fruit or vegetable will give that beloved smoky bacon reference without the added fat. A favorite is from a local line by Chef Milton. You can also find a range of smoked salt options in Central Market’s spice aisle. I’ve got a wonderful flaked one by Falksalt that has a hint of sweet caramel to it. Sprinkle on our local summer seasonals such as eggplant, squash, melon, or okra, add a little oil, and marinate to enjoy raw or throw on the grill for a savory side, main dish, or use as a salad or sandwich ingredient. Spices make terrific souvenirs and expand your flavor repertoire. It’s an affordable way to experiment. Plus, every time a jar is cracked, a travel memory is recalled — even if the trip was just to a local market where a clever seasoning made eyes at you. “Well, hello. Want to come back to my place, Maui Onion Blend?” Yes, yes I do.

COMMUNITY HPHS Club Takes Chess to Great Outdoors Scots make moves at park on Sundays By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers On a crowded Sunday evening at Klyde Warren Park, curious passersby pause to watch. Some sit down, perhaps a bit intimidated but eager to learn. Others marvel at the two combatants’ level of focus and quiet intensity amid the whirlwind of activity around them. They are members of the Fighting Scots Chess Club at Highland Park High School, who are trying to earn community service hours while spreading their knowledge and passion of the game through a series of free weekly sessions at the park. “We play chess with anybody who comes by and wants to play with us,” said Austin Mead, who will be a junior at HPHS this fall. “We get to teach them the game. That’s part of the fun of it.” The HPHS students will be at the park, weather permitting, for two hours each Sunday evening through Aug. 9. The outdoor sessions have attracted aspiring chess players from different skill levels comprising a wide range of ages and cultural backgrounds. The idea was the brainchild of Neil Krasnoff, who joined the library staff at HPHS last year and made launching the chess club a top priority upon his arrival. He has made similar efforts at other schools.

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

Josh Kowal and Austin Mead are among the HPHS students playing chess on Sunday evenings at Klyde Warren Park. “I put out the chess boards in the library and see who shows up,” Krasnoff said. “All of a sudden, they’re all coming out of the woodwork.” The burgeoning club has about six regular members now, but Krasnoff expects it to grow in the fall. It typically meets a couple of days each week after school. Mead played chess competitively for

many years before joining the club at HPHS. So did Josh Kowal, who led the Scots to a fifth-place finish among high school teams at the Texas Chess Association state tournament in March in McAllen. “I’ve found that chess has really helped in my life,” Kowal said. “I’m able to apply things from chess in sports and school and even my social life.”

For club members, the Sunday sessions blur the line between student and teacher. And in many cases, that means changing their typical strategy to make the game fun for a novice opponent. “There’s a lot of people who want to learn,” Mead said. “We can talk them through some of the basic stuff, and then they can go home and practice with their family and friends.”

HPUMC to Shape Young Musicians in College By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers With roughly 20 students and a campus across from a church, Visible Music College is anything but traditional. Described as “an accredited music industry and worship arts college,” the new Dallas campus is the third in the Visible Music family — the first opened in 2000 in Memphis, while the second found its home in Chicago last year. “We were looking at where our students were coming from, and there were many from the Midwest and lots from Texas. It was the logical next step,” said director of academics

Tommy Lozure. The campus centers around Munger Place Church in Lakewood, a satellite campus of Highland Park United Methodist Church. In terms of academics, Visible Music College offers a four-year bachelor’s degree that focuses in one of three areas: music production, music business, and modern music performance. Using classroom space on the church’s campus across a driveway from the sanctuary, there are no dormitories, library, laundry facilities, or dining hall. But each of the college’s campuses arranges partnerships with apartment complexes close to the campus,

and Lozure hopes that a library is in the campus’ future. A key part of the Visible Music College experience is spiritual — after all, the college is founded in music’s tie to Christian worship. But the program isn’t just for students who want to become worship leaders or youth group leaders for churches; it’s for anyone with a passion for music. The college is not associated with any certain denomination, though faculty and staff feel that the spiritual growth of each student is an important component of their education. “I really want to train people to help them get off to a stronger and more capable start,” said

Christian artist Todd Agnew, who will teach theology of worship and worship-leadership specialization. Classes begin on Aug. 26. Lozure said the campus hopes to grow to 150 students in the coming years. But for now, it’s starting small and spreading the word. Some students will head off to music careers, while others may go on staff with a church or continue to a seminary. “Visible has the unique opportunity to equip these students who have a dream and a goal that God wants to use them in the music field,” Agnew said. “We want to help you on your journey.”

At Preston Center, the Skybridge Debate Still Isn’t Over By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Within the past few decades, Preston Center has arguably devolved from a pioneer to a relic among local mixed-use developments. That status has prompted ongoing complaints about traffic and parking and has renewed calls for reform and uniformity in development guidelines as area residents, property owners, and retail tenants seek a revival. Yet nobody seems to agree on how to approach such issues. That includes the Dallas City

Council, which in June punted a vote on a contentious proposal by Crow Holdings to construct a pedestrian skybridge linking the second floor of the Preston Center parking garage to a retail space on the west side. Following the suggestion of District 13 councilwoman Jennifer Gates, the council voted to delay a vote on a special-use permit until Nov. 10 to allow the Preston Road and Northwest Highway Area Plan Task Force to negotiate the issue in the interim and report back to the council with a proposal before then. The issue seems to have every-

one divided up until this point, including task force members, property owners surrounding the garage, and the Dallas Plan Commission, who approved the proposal by a narrow 7-6 vote in March. Gates oversees the task force — which was formed in late 2014 but hasn’t had much forward momentum to this point — and said her group of residents and business owners will make the parking garage a priority in the coming months. “It’s not giving them support. It’s giving them an opportunity,” Gates said. “It would be the best of both worlds if we waited until the end of the task force. The applicant is not willing to wait that long. If there’s any possibility of this, they don’t want to wait another 12 to 18 months.” Crow Holdings officials said they support the five-month delay, but any further postponement likely will cause them to withdraw the proposal — and the $1.4 million in cosmetic improvements to the city-owned garage that the developer has promised with it. The company wants to connect the garage with 55,000 square feet of upper-level retail space that most recently housed a Ross store. The goal is to lure a grocer to the site, which likely would be Tom Thumb. However, a lease agreement with Tom Thumb (that was tied to passage of the skybridge) has since expired, and “several other” grocery stores have also expressed interest, according to Robert Dozier, an executive vice president with Lincoln Property Company. “If we don’t put in the skybridge, there will be no grocery store. We can’t wait two years to lease our 55,000 square feet,” said Dan Feeney of Crow Holdings. “It’s a significant investment we’re going to make on behalf of the city.” Proponents say the skybridge will improve safety in a busy pedestrian area and will incentivize drivers to park on the top deck of the garage. Detractors argue that the bridge would only escalate parking concerns. Gates’ colleague, Philip Kingston, said the task force should be allowed to complete its work in full — which likely will take at least another year — before the skybridge is brought for a vote. “I worry about the message we’re sending to the volunteers

C OM M U N I T Y CONTINUED FROM 38 we’ve asked to serve on this task force,” Kingston said. “If the task force is going to have any meaning, then it needs to be respected.” The task force — which is considering a wide range of traffic, parking, and zoning issues throughout an area of more than 1,000 acres — hasn’t met since late April. But part of the issue has been money, and the council approved an extra round of funding from the North Central Tex-

as Council of Governments that would allow the group to hire a consultant and continue its work, Gates said. “I believe we need a clean slate for Preston Center and the surrounding neighborhoods,” said Leland Burk, a property owner in the mixed-use development who also serves on the task force. “The skybridge will effectively halt the redevelopment of the parking deck.” Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

PARK PRESERVATION

SMU duo spotlights Pike history By Paige Skinner

A project started by SMU professor Janis Bergman-Carton helped preserve old photographs of Pike Park and its history. truly appreciate, is the last thing of what used to be a very vibrant Mexican community in Dallas that is now Uptown.” Moved by the community elders and their passion and instinct for the area’s history, Bergman-Carton began preserving old photographs and assigning her SMU students to work on the project. Nicolas Gonzalez, an art history student at SMU, is creating a large mural for Pike Park, formerly known as Little Mexico. Local children are also contributing to the mural. “I got them to be a part of the process in creating the mural,” Gonzalez said. “So from the very beginning, I wanted their physical hand printed onto the canvas.” With help from Gonzalez,

the community children are drawing pictures of stories they hear from the elders. “That’s going to be the under-painting and the foundation, just like the history of the park, where traces of the history is still there,” Bergman-Carton said. “But most of it is still in need to be brought to the surface.” Living in Dallas for 28 years, Gonzalez didn’t know much about his Mexican-American roots until he started working on the project. “I’m really blessed to learn about the history of Little Mexico and Pike Park, and I kind of wish I knew about it a long time ago,” he said. “Now that I’m actually finding out about it, I feel sad that there’s a possibility it might disappear soon.”

Pike Park, nestled amid the Uptown building boom surrounded by the American Airlines Center, Katy Trail, and Harry Hines Boulevard, holds a special place in Mexican-American history. And Janis Bergman-Carton, along with some elders of the Mexican-American community in Dallas, is working to preserve its legacy. Bergman-Carton, an associate professor of art history at SMU, became involved with Pike Park when members of the Dallas Mexican American Historical League approached her about sponsoring an exhibition. MAHL is a grassroots organization that came together in 2008 as a group of 30 people age 50 and up began to realize that the elders of their community were not going to be around much longer. “The history of Mexican-Americans in Dallas had never been written, and their children knew none of it,” Bergman-Carton said. “Pike Park, I’ve come to learn and

Reflecting on Changes Going Back to School

s a kid in the 1950s, summer was over and school started right after Labor Day. Boys and girls would get “fall cottons,” which consisted of plaid dresses and shirts in the heat of Texas along with new saddle oxfords or loafers. When kids got their teacher assignment, moms told you not to whine and go outside and play till dusk while she smoked her Pall Malls or Viceroys and flipped through Ladies Home Journal or made a casserole involving a can of mushroom soup. The excitement of covering your textbooks with cutup brown grocery sacks and putting your friends’ names on them was the best. By high school we gals wanted shirtwaist dresses and circle pins, and guys wore madras and Jade East cologne while we went to get our protractors, compasses, and map pencils and picked up a few items for shop or home ec. My own children were a bit more complicated. School started in the middle of August and we sweltered in our station wagons finding the holy grail of the new, cool shoes. Mothers with their Chases, Jasons, and Christophers and Jennifers, Ashleys, and Megans spent hours in stores getting the correct colored folders, charcoal art stick, calculators, backpacks, loose-leaf paper and binders, with throngs of other moms with their checklists. Once tax-relief weekend began, the malls were worse than at Christmas. The great invention of my motherhood was shoes with Velcro tabs. Exhausted parents then spent hours on the phone scheduling the after-school music, dance, art, sports, or tutoring lessons and carpools. Myriads of forms had to be filled in and notarized from doctors, field-trip forms, permission forms. Kids were kicked outside to get them off the Intellivison or away from MTV while mostly moms cooked or nuked supper or got it out of the CrockPot. By Labor Day, everybody was so ready for a break. Today, the mothers of Madison, Gabriella, and Jackson, as well as the Harpers, Camerons, and Coopers, go to mega-stores to get lunch pouches with plastic boxes for gluten-free, nutfree sandwiches, containers

LEN BOURLAND for mac-and-cheese that can be heated in the classroom microwave, with the obligatory mini-carrots, power bars, veggie chips, yogurt cups, and bottled water. If not uniforms, then there are specialty stores for the young, tweens, teens, and beyond. There is often little difference with how the parents and their teenagers dress. There are some paperbacks and notebooks, folders and pens to be purchased, but increasingly it’s about the cell phones, electronic tablets or personal computers. Much can be ordered online; most forms can be filled in that way. Parents march into schools demanding teacher and classroom changes, and assess the safety of the playground equipment, the political correctness of the syllabus, lobby coaches for their child to be showcased. There are fewer carpools with safety seats taking up all the space in the minivans, and often nannies and helpers doing the driving while stopping to pick up something to assemble for dinner. Kids are never kicked outside but supervised on playdates or planned activities while parents or helpers check their email or texts. By Labor Day, everyone needs a break. What will back-to-school look like for my grandchildren’s children? Will kids with gender-neutral names decide whether to be female or male and then possibly switch for the experience? Will iPads and iPhones be obsolete, with drones delivering the wristwatch that can be programmed to tune into virtual classrooms? Will there even be school? Maybe open classrooms all the time everywhere? Maybe there won’t be a summer finale as we learn to regulate weather and dispense with Labor Day because manual labor is a quaint notion. Some of it will be progress. And the rest might send us back to the classroom. Len Bourland can be reached at len@lenbourland.com.

Health concerns prompted HPHS grad Dario Ventouras and his wife, Jessica, to launch Boom Juice.

Special Contributor When Jessica Ventouras realized she had celiac disease, she had to give up almost all of her favorite foods. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the lining of the small intestine. The damage comes after digesting gluten, which is a form of protein found in grains. Between her health issues and her husband’s desire for a new career, Boom Juice was created. “[Health] is sort of a hobby of mine,” said Davio Ventouras, a Highland Park High School alumnus. “Looking into different ways nutrition can [impact] what you eat — does it really matter or is it calories in, calories out? There are all these different theories, so I was looking to do something else and this was her

passion.” Boom Juice, which is sold at the Dallas Farmers Market and Bodybar in Uptown, regularly has 33 juices on the menu. “The main difference between us and most of the other juice bars is that we’re always organic,” Davio said. “They’re organic whenever possible. I know for a fact it’s possible to be organic every day.” Boom Juice doesn’t just offer juices, though. Food and desserts are also on the menu, and the company caters to people on the Paleo diet, those with celiac, and customers who are sick. “Our main customers are people that really care about the nutrition aspect,” Davio said. “We get a lot of cancer patients, a lot of people that are really sick, [or with] gastrointestinal [issues].” The couple’s local ties run deep. Their oldest son is about to

begin kindergarten at Armstrong Elementary School, making him a third generation student of that school. The Ventourases believe in their products because they’ve seen the difference it can make firsthand. Jessica said she missed half the school year in eighth grade because of migraines. Now, while eating only Boom Juice’s foods and juices, she is migraine-free. As for Davio, he lost 90 pounds of excess weight in eight months. “As soon as we started going hardcore and eating only these kinds of desserts and doing the juicing, I lost [the weight] in eight months,” he said. “No exercise except walking to and from work, and that’s why I believe in this so much, is because I’ve seen the results. This really works. I’ve never felt better.”

Rick Pyle was appointed as Highland Park’s new director of public safety on June 22 after serving as interim chief since the death of Chris Vinson on June 1. He was sworn in during a ceremony on July 13.

Paul Sandman was promoted to assistant director of public safety. In addition, six Rick Pyle other officers received promotions or were given new assignments. Pyle is a 28-year veteran

Lady Scots Looking For More Net Gains HP returns talent after playoff run Highland Park made a splash with its debut in the state’s top classification on the volleyball court last fall, finishing second in District 10-6A and advancing to the Region II semifinals. Such playoff success isn’t unusual for the Lady Scots, but last season might have only been a warm-up, considering the talent returning. Although a handful of seniors contributed along the front line, last year’s team featured more juniors than anything else. And now those girls will return with an added year of 6A experience, postseason experience, and added motivation. Among the top returnees for the Lady Scots at the net are Falyn Reaugh, Elizabeth Gilley, and Peyton Eisnaugle. HP also has plenty of experience at setter with Landry Ray coming back, and on defense with Madeline Bonnet.

HPHS Freshman Pins Down National Ranking in Wrestling By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Aidan Conner is practically a rookie compared to many of his competitors on the wrestling mat. After all, it’s been only four years since the University Park teenager switched from his original grappling sport of choice, jiu-jitsu. But Conner didn’t need much time to become acclimated. This summer, the incoming freshman at Highland Park High School became a Texas “triple crown” winner by taking first place in the 175-pound

weight class in his age group in all three disciplines — folkstyle, freestyle, and Greco-Roman — at the Texas USA Wrestling state championships this spring in Irving. Then Conner traveled to Wisconsin in July, where he placed in the top five in both the freestyle and Greco-Roman disciplines at USA Wrestling nationals in his first appearance at the event. “I kind of knew what I was getting into so I think I was prepared,” Conner said. “I got a lot of good mat time and a lot of good competition.”

His father, Blair Conner, was heavily involved in jiu-jitsu, while his grandfather, Paul Conner, was inducted into the California Wrestling Hall of Fame for his lengthy career as a highschool coach. His uncle Garth Conner wrestled in the Army. When Aidan first tried wrestling, it was meant to supplement his jiu-jitsu. But that changed quickly once he won first place in his initial meet, and later won a rookie state title. “I started going at it, and it C H R I S M C G AT H E Y

The thoughtfully updated home at 4516 Edmonson Avenue is listed by Lisa Besserer for $1,795,000. Selling in summer is smart idea. Only Serious Buyers Are Out At this time of year, only those purchasers who are serious about buying a home will be in the marketplace. You and your family will not be bothered and inconvenienced by mere ‘lookers’. There Is Far Less Competition Housing supply can shrink this time of year. The choices for buyers will be limited. Don’t wait until the fall when all the other potential sellers in your market will put their homes up for sale. The Process Will Be Quicker One of the biggest challenges of the 2015 housing market has been the length of time it takes from contract to closing. Banks have been inundated with both purchase and refinancing loan requests. Both of these will slow in the summer, cutting timelines and the frustration. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move-Up If you are moving up to a larger, more expensive home, consider doing it now. Prices are projected to appreciate by over 25% from now to 2018. If you are moving to a higher priced home, it will wind-up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait. For more information, go to briggsfreeman.com.

he big moment is finally here: on Aug. 8, the BvB Dallas powder-puff football game is going down. Have you heard of that little stadium called the Cotton Bowl? That’s where the Bru Crew will be taking on Team Blonde, and I’ll be cleating up as a cornerback. Hopefully we’ll also be celebrating a monumental goal: raising $600,000 to benefit local institutions that focus on Alzheimer’s Disease research, treatment, and awareness. This year is shaping up to be monumental for BvB Dallas. At the start of 2015, Shelley Tims came on as executive director. As the season began, Tims announced the organization aimed to raise $600,000 over the course of the summer, benefiting the Center for Vital Longevity and the Baylor AT&T Memory Center. “Most people don’t realize that the funding for new research projects come from private philanthropy,” Tims said. “These beneficiaries present-

ed research projects and programs that the board felt directly aligned with the mission of BvB Dallas.” On July 7, it was announced that over the course of eight

years (and thanks to more than 700 participants), BvB Dallas had surpassed the $2 million mark when it came to fundraising. Tims credits the phenome-

non of BvB Dallas to the passion of the participants, 90 percent of whom have been touched personally by Alzheimer’s, herself included. Tims’ mother was diagnosed with dementia and early-onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 65. “When there was the opportunity to become executive director for BvB Dallas, it was one of the easiest decisions to accept the opportunity to lead this organization that I could not only support but also, put endless passion behind,” she said. “Most people don’t realize that the funding for new research projects come from private philanthropy. We are so thrilled to support local initiatives.”

son for Highland Park Middle School, which reintroduced its wrestling program after an extended absence. During the rest of the year, he represents the Dallas Dynamite club team, which makes for a busy schedule of training and competition. Now he hopes to make an im-

mediate impact with the Scots, having given up football to keep his focus on the mat. “I’ve been competitive my whole life,” Aidan said. “You go out there and do what you know.” Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

n an age where most learning is done in front of a screen, it’s easy to forget that a great learning tool lies right off the back porch. Studies show that children who play outside have less anxiety, are less likely to struggle with obesity, are more advanced in their communication and listening skills, have an increased attention span and are more prone to become leaders. One way to dig into outdoor fun is the creation of a children’s garden. “They aren’t hard to make, and since there are over 20,000 species of plants in Texas, there are many options for a children’s garden,” said Cindy Davis of Calloway’s Nursery.

Children who play outside have been shown to be more creative and more imaginative than children who only play indoors.

Davis suggested creating a 4X4 space in a sunny place in your backyard. Make it a math game and split the garden into three different sections – one-fourth herbs, onefourth flowers and one-half rotating seasonal vegetables. This is a fun math project for children who are learning fractions. Children can pick a variety of plants, then get busy digging in the dirt and learning about root systems and spacing plants to allow for growth. “Children also will be able to observe the plants as well as the insects the plants bring,” Davis said. The herbs and flowers also will attract different critters – great fun for kids to explore. Davis suggested planting marigolds, Gerbera daisies, dianthus, fennel, dill and parsley to attract butterflies.

Growing tomatoes, green onions, and radishes creates opportunities for lessons in the kitchen – cutting, measuring, cooking and artfully presenting the fruits of their labors. From planting a garden to simply having a picnic, the backyard is a place of limitless exploration and learning.
