CALL US TODAY TO SCHEDULE A TOUR

very year, People Newspapers picks a Person of the Year for both the Park Cities and Preston Hollow, and then we feature them in the January issues of Park Cities People and Preston Hollow People.

But for whatever reason, 2021 just seemed like a good year to do something different. Maybe it was because we seemed a little, you know, stuck, with the pandemic, or perhaps we love creating more work, but looking for a new way to tell the stories of some difference-makers seemed like an imperative.

Izzy Martin, our first-ever Readers’ Choice Person of the Year, was already a favorite for many — as evidenced by how many votes she got. But her fan club grew bigger after we announced her selection and now includes two pretty well-known people.

We announced our Persons of the Year on Dec. 17, and it wasn’t long before the celebrations for Izzy began. NBC DFW’s Meredith Land, whose daughter is a classmate, reported on her honor and had a special surprise.

Izzy was among several nominees that included Mark Cuban, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, and Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa.

“Person of the Year. Well deserved!

You’re just amazing — such power and grace and strength. Congratulations,” Cuban said in Land’s report. He also pledged $25,000 to the #TeamIzzy Osteosarcoma Science Fund.

What we’re also covering online: Omicron, the latest and possibly most virulent strain of COVID-19, is on the minds of many as case counts skyrocket and hospitalizations increase — even among younger patients, who had previously seemed to be less susceptible to complications from the virus. We’ll keep readers updated on the response from city, county, school, and state leaders.

Another nominee quickly pledged to donate as well.

“This is the right choice for sure,” Jenkins said via Twitter. “Your courage, kindness, and focus on others is inspiring! Put me down for a donation to Team Izzy’s Foundation.”

CBS-11 also picked up Izzy’s story and her remarkable and generous spirit.

The end of the year is always a busy time in the news business — or any business, for that matter. But the Person of the Year stories are always a time for our staff to take a breath and get to know extraordinary people.

Our three Persons of the Year: Lyda Hill (Park Cities), Cindy Brinker Simmons (Preston Hollow), and Izzy, were absolutely opportunities to stop and reflect on our better natures — the ones that are generous and tenacious and bravely deal with adversity with compassion.

We hope you took the time to meet all three of them. Missed those issues? Extended interviews with all three are available at peoplenewspapers.com.

THE MARCH TO NOVEMBER Democratic incumbents face challengers in some races

Two Republicans ready to face off against Jenkins

By Bethany Erickson

By Bethany Erickson

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

Before Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins can face a Republican challenger, he’ll need to take on attorney Billy Clark in the Democratic primary on March 1.

Jenkins announced in November that he would run for a fourth term.

“I am filing for re-election because there is still a lot of work that needs to be accomplished in Dallas County,” he said. “From fighting back against COVID-19 to making sure our children have access to quality education and health care, I am ready to continue this fight alongside the people of Dallas County.

Clark, an attorney from Cedar Hill, has more than 20 years of military experience.

Before starting his legal career, Clark was a teacher at Klein Forest High School in Houston. He was the senior aerospace science instructor for the Junior Air Force ROTC program. After Hurricane Harvey, Clark returned to Dallas County.

He said he’s running because he feels that he could be more proactive than his opponent — and a prime example of his frustration is the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

“The initial vaccine rollout was mass chaos,” he said in a Facebook post. “Frustration and confusion created doubt in our county

government’s ability to manage the process.”

But the county judge race isn’t the only one that will be busy. Four Democrats will face off to see who will face GOP incumbent Dallas County Commissioner JJ Koch, whose district includes much of Preston Hollow and the Park Cities: Tom Ervin, Michelle Faulkner, Philip Kingston, and Andrew Sommerman.

Democratic incumbent State Sen. Nathan Johnson didn’t draw a primary challenger. Still, Elizabeth Ginsberg or Freda Heald are on the ballot for the Democratic primary for State Representative District 108 (held by Republican Morgan Meyer).

Democrats Charlie Gearing, Alexandra Guio, Chris Leal, Kendall Scudder, and former Rep. John Bryant have all thrown their hats in the ring to replace outgoing State Rep. John Turner, who represents District 114.

Other Democratic primary races include:

County Treasurer: Pauline Medrano District Clerk: Amye Thompson Hollins, Felicia Pitre County Clerk: Ann Cruz, Marcus Turner Jr., John Warren State Rep. District 103: Rafael Anchia State Board of Education, District 12: Alex Cornwallis, Roberto Velasco

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

Two will face off in the Republican primary for Dallas County Judge, and both Edwin Flores and Lauren Davis feel they bring something different to the job — something the county needs.

Flores has served two stints on the Dallas ISD school board, from 2005 to 2012 and from 2015 until now. Gov. Greg Abbott recently appointed him to the Texas School Safety Center Board of Directors.

Flores is an attorney and also has a doctorate in molecular immunology.

“The vision Edwin Flores has for Dallas County is similar to the vision he had when he first ran for school board – to provide strong common-sense leadership in order to transform the way Dallas County operates,” Flores’ campaign website said, adding that he was “appalled” at how politicized the pandemic has become.

“They (politicians) have tried to polarize communities between the masked versus the unmasked and the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated,” the campaign said. “As county judge, Edwin will restore individual liberty, focus on growing our economy, and work to enhance services to Dallas neighborhoods and businesses.”

Davis, the chief culture officer and

co-founder of the men’s grooming company The Gents Place, insisted the Dallas County Judge doesn’t need to be a lawyer.

“The official position is the top administrator and ‘CEO of Dallas County,’” she wrote. “I’ll bring good judgment back to this position, the same way I’ve done as a mother, successful business owner, and proven community leader over the last 15+ years.”

Dallas County commissioner JJ Koch, whose district includes much of Preston Hollow and the Park Cities, won’t face a challenger in the Republican primary, and former Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson will try to regain her old job and is the sole contender in the GOP primary for that seat.

Democratic incumbent State Sen. Nathan Johnson and his Republican challenger Brandon Copeland can start campaigning for the general election pretty much immediately, as neither drew primary challengers.

GOP incumbent State Rep. Morgan Meyer (D-108) and District 114 candidate Mark Hadju didn’t draw challengers for their primary races, either.

Other Republican primary races: County Treasurer: Shelly Akerly State Board of Education, District 12 (GOP): Pam Little

‘I Love My Job’

Hinojosa says political climate didn’t spur decision to retire

By Bethany Erickson

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

Between his two stints as superintendent of Dallas ISD, Michael Hinojosa has seen a few things — including a recent tornado and a pandemic. But in January, he announced that the next major event the district would face would be of his making — he is retiring.

Hinojosa joins a growing number of school administrators leaving their posts — including Kent Scribner with Fort Worth ISD and Jeannie Stone with Richardson ISD, who announced they were leaving their districts in January and December, respectively.

The 42-year educator indicated his imminent departure during a phone call with fellow superintendents on Jan. 12. During a board of trustees briefing the next day, he announced his intention to resign.

“I’m very proud of what this district has accomplished,” he told reporters during a pause in the meeting. “It’s taken a lot of blood and sweat and tears.”

Hinojosa pointed to what the district achieved during his two tenures — most recently, a trajectory that has marked Dallas ISD as one of the most improved urban districts in the country and earned the district the distinction of best large school district in the state last year by H-E-B. Hinojosa said that he knows that superintendents are leaving in what seems like droves, and that many attribute it to the political climate — but his decision was his feeling the district was so improved that he could hand the reins over to someone new.

“I love my job, and I love my job every single day,” he said, saying the cultural and political wars didn’t contribute to his

decision, but that he knows it is “wearing people down.”

“I’m not going to apologize for being outspoken, but it doesn’t apply to my case,” he said.

He said his decision boiled down to a desire to see new blood continue improving the district.

“I could’ve finished my contract,” he said. “But they (school board trustees) need to find someone who can keep this magic going for 10 years and 20 years.”

He was also adamant that his decision wasn’t a negative.

“I’m not stepping down; I’m stepping up,” he said, adding that stepping down seems negative. “I’m not dying.”

But he’s not sure what he’s “stepping up” to — rumors have had him running for Dallas mayor, but he was quick to deflect that when asked.

“I’m very focused on landing this airplane in the next six months,” he said. “This is not about me and not about my future.”

School board president Ben Mackey said that the board wouldn’t make any official moves until the next board meeting at the earliest. But, the search process would start in January and include public input, he said.

The goal would be to have a superintendent candidate identified by the spring and in place before the start of school next year, Mackey said.

“This is just the beginning of this process.”

I’m very focused on landing this airplane in the next six months.

“Leaping Lumberjacks”

By Sarah MacElroy $25.99 leapinglumberjacks.com

​ A s children, we learn to accept the stigma that identifies dance as a feminine and delicate art form. Author, wife, and mother Sarah MacElroy published her first children’s book to defy gender norms and racial stereotypes because anyone can dance. The daughter of Sandra and John Secor, of Highland Park, found writing the book to be a “cathartic experience” and utilized writing to cope with life’s difficulties and pursue her interests in the arts. Furthermore, MacElroy included her husband, a wounded veteran, and her oldest son in the illustrations drawn by childhood friend Terie Beth Dillard. The exciting story “introduces children to animals of the forest and their habitats” and spreads “a little cheer” for readers to appreciate.

SPANN ‘PREACHES’ AT HIS OWN FUNERAL Young minister’s muscular dystrophy journey ends but message lives on

By Bethany Erickson

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

B

rian Spann, by all accounts, was a man who found his ministry in what many would consider suffering and his calling in the faith that also gave him strength.

“He knew hope even while suffering because Brian and Jesus were old friends,” the Rev. Caroline Braskamp said at his funeral. “God was at work within Brian.”

Spann, the coordinator of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church’s Epiphany Ministry and a leader with the non-profit To Be Like Me, died in December at age 27, after a nearly lifelong battle with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Spann’s trademark outlook — one of faith and encouragement — showed even in the papers he wrote for seminary.

“As my muscular dystrophy progresses and my body continues to decay, it serves as a consistent reminder that this is not the way that the world will always be,” he wrote. “One day, we will not only be rescued from death and restored to life. But we will also be crowned with glory and honor because God’s victory over death is central to his promise and to our hope that God will redeem our bodies through physical resurrection.”

Braskamp said wryly, “Only Brian

Spann can preach at his own funeral.”

To Be Like Me founder and executive director Hollis Owens had known Spann since he was 5 - she was part of the Scottish Rite team who initially helped Spann and his family navigate his diagnosis.

“I remember meeting him that day, that first day they came in and just had this warm, beautiful smile and these big blue eyes and was just a remarkable young man,” she recalled.

But he was also falling a lot. As a physical therapist, her job was to assess his muscle weaknesses and report to the doctors. And when the ultimate diagnosis was delivered, she knew Spann — and his family — were remarkable.

“They took it all in and looked at Brian and just said, ‘You’re going to be able to do whatever you want to do in this world,’” Owens said.

And those activities included Boy Scouts, where he won the Paul Bunyan Award that requires the recipient to chop wood for two hours straight. He was a member of the Allen High School marching band, driving his wheelchair with his right hand and playing his clarinet with his left. And later, he earned a bachelor’s degree from Dallas Baptist University, became a minister, and was working on his master’s degree when time ran out.

But he didn’t leave those mourning

him without a benediction.

“This is my charge to you. Do not mourn my death, but celebrate the victory of Jesus Christ in my life,” he wrote. “Celebrate the fact that I am no longer bound by the clutches of the disease from hell, but I find eternal healing in Jesus’s name.

As my muscular dystrophy progresses and my body continues to decay, it serves as a consistent reminder that this is not the way that the world will always be.

Brian Spann “Please leave today passionate for the Lord and proclaim the gospel to the very ends of the Earth.”

“50 Moments: Faking it, Taking It, and Making It as a Working Actor in Hollywood”

By Nellie Sciutto $15.95 nelliesblog.com We have heard it a million times before: “Fake it until you make it.” Nellie Sciutto, co-host of the Bubble Lounge podcast for other Park Cities moms, builds on that theme in her new book. The comedic, action-packed, and relatable story covers career highlights and challenges, ranging from an unprecedented encounter with the Boston mafia to an amusing rendezvous with an A-list producer. Her new podcast derived from the book takes on the same title. Sciutto began working as a petite model and actress at the age of 14 and moved out to Hollywood where she “had all kinds of experiences, most of them hilarious” and some “tear-jerky,” but learned many life lessons.

“See You There”

Ski-Tastic During the endless pandemic, my antsy and outdoorsy spouse has stored up more energy than a field of solar panels. So, post vaccinations and booster, he suggested a ski trip. As a skier, I am somewhere between awful and casual beMICHELE VALDEZ ginner.

Following an FBI-type search of our attic, I located the ski garb.

Surprisingly, my 10-year-old ski pants still fit. I now wear Spanx to ensure they zip, but they work.

With a ginormous duffle filled with gloves, helmets, parkas, and two pairs of Spanx, we headed to Colorado.

To break in my glide, we hit the Nordic track for cross-country skiing.

Though new to the sport, as 11% Norwegian (a nod to Ancestry. com), I figured I would be a natural.

I more than make up for what I lack in athletic ability with determination and overconfidence. A biathlon had to be on the horizon.

All I need is a rifle: Or is it a bow?

That day I slid across a golf course turned Nordic track. It was child’s play, except for the downhill parts. The only way I could stop was to throw myself on the ground. Two hours later, I could fall and stop on a dime. I began to doubt my Viking roots.

The next day for downhill skiing, I rented titanium-stiff boots and premium skis. After cross-country skiing, I was ready for the challenge. One run into the day, and I was hungry. Just wedging myself into Spanx, ski pants, two shirts, gloves, and boots was a workout. Halfway through my bowl of bisque, I noticed my left leg was numb. I loosened my boot and gave the mountain another try.

Then it happened: My left leg went rogue, unresponsive. I couldn’t get into my usual ski stance - the snowplow. I returned to the lodge for further investigation.

This time I ordered a Caesar salad. I took off my boot and realized that my novelty Dr. Fauci socks had bunched up and impeded my blood flow. I straightened out Dr. Fauci and headed out again.

Feeling full and confident, I zoomed past several other “green” skiers. On our last run, a private instructor and toddler cruised by, both giving me a “thumbs up.”

That’s when I knew I had found my sport.

Arts Advocates Embrace Alternatives TACA honorees hope for better 2022

By Bethany Erickson

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

Each year, The Arts Community Alliance (or TACA) chooses two individuals who have made lasting contributions to the city’s culture with their support of the arts and honors them with their Silver Cup. This year’s honorees — Preston Hollow’s Jennifer Altabef and University Park’s Larry Angelilli — have demonstrated their love of the arts from participation in everything from SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts, the Dallas Theater Center, KERA, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, and more.

And even with the continued pandemic, they’re continuing to find new ways to appreciate art.

Altabef said that during the worst of the pandemic, finding art and performances online helped her “process what was happening and gave me hope for the future.

“I loved watching videos of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s Concert Truck around town, and I signed up for all of the SMU Meadows School of Art History lectures I could,” she said, adding that she also watched virtual workshops from the Dallas Theater Center, too.

“It made me realize we could still connect in real-time through art.”

Angelilli said during the worst of the pandemic, his family “leaned heavily on KERA,” and enjoyed some Netflix offerings, too. He also found some surprising likes, as well.

This is a city that produces, performs, and displays all forms of art that are unique and original, and it’s a city that is passionate about the quality and variety of options available to everyone.

Larry Angelilli “It also brought out my inner philistine, because I couldn’t stop watching Tiger King and McMillion$, and reruns of The Big Lebowski!,” he said.

The arts community in Dallas is unique and exciting, both Angelilli and Altabef said.

“I think the arts in Dallas are more bold and less conventional than in other places, and less hierarchical,” Altabef said. “Dallas has always prized entrepreneurship, and this is no less true in the arts community, where there is always new work available.”

Angelilli said Dallas’ diversity makes for exciting art offerings.

“Dallas is a city that has a more diverse and exciting arts scene, in all of the arts, than just about any other city in America,” he said. “This is a city that produces, performs, and displays all forms of art that are unique and original, and it’s a city that is passionate about the quality and variety of options available to everyone.”

Both said they hope that 2022 brings even more support to the arts — even through a tricky time like an ongoing pandemic.

I think the arts in Dallas are more bold and less conventional than in other places, and less hierarchical.

Jennifer Altabef “My wish is that each organization has success in bringing back their audiences and patrons,” Angelilli said. “It’s going to be challenging, because many people have adapted to a world where the only art they experience is at home.”

Altabef agreed, adding that she hopes to see more people supporting the arts in Dallas this year.

“My biggest wish for the Dallas arts community as we move into a new year is that it receives support from an even greater number of us, whether that be financial, as audience members, or as volunteers,” Altabef said. “The pandemic obviously hurt us all financially, but the arts community also suffers in other less tangible ways when people are not filling performance halls and galleries.

“So, I wish for sellout crowds everywhere, and a lot of great new art — and new people finding great art.”

After writing two addiction-themed memoirs, Mark Cuban’s brother Brian has released a novel.

Brian Cuban Talks Brotherly Love Mavericks owner’s sibling explores addiction, recovery in new novel

By Amber Billops

Special Contributor Brian Cuban and his two brothers are so close they live within walking distance from each other.

But being related to one of Preston Hollow’s most famous entrepreneurs isn’t always as satisfying as a courtside seat during a Dallas Maverick’s victory or scoring an investment on an episode of Shark Tank.

“I had no identity of my own,” the attorney and author said, recalling the dark years before entering long-term recovery for alcoholism and drug addiction. “Mark became internationally famous, and it suddenly occurred to me that I hated myself so much that I didn’t want to be me.

“I despised myself. I couldn’t even look in the mirror. So, why not be Mark Cuban’s brother. I can walk into any club in Dallas and not wait in line, and I was dating girls half my age with the relationship driven mostly by drugs.”

That wasn’t a way to live and was nearly a way to die, Brian said. The older of Mark Cuban’s two younger brothers sank to near suicide during the summer of 2005, before finding recovery and building his own identity. April will mark year 15 of Brian Cuban’s recovery from cocaine and alcohol.

Mark became internationally famous, and it suddenly occurred to me that I hated myself so much that I didn’t want to be me.

Brian Cuban Today, he frequently speaks on addiction, legal ethics, recovery, and redemption at colleges, conferences, non-profits, and

legal events. His books include memoirs Shattered Image: My Triumph Over Body Dysmorphic Disorder and The Addicted Lawyer: Tales of the Bar, Booze, Blow, and Redemption plus a new novel.

The Ambulance Chaser: A Thriller explores the story of fictional personal injury Pittsburgh lawyer Jas Feldman, an addict who plays hard and fast with the truth and is an addict.

“First and foremost, I am a person in recovery, so it seems natural to write what you know,” Brian said. “It seems natural to give Jason Feldman, the protagonist, those types of qualities. Jason has his struggles, and he doesn’t follow the typical journey with recovery.”

The idea for the novel grew from a recurring dream about growing up with his best friend in Pittsburg and throwing bodies into a bonfire.

“I would wake up disoriented, wondering if I killed someone,” he said. “I asked myself, ‘Why haven’t I been arrested yet?’”

Thinking about the book during a run one day, he decided it should become a novel, one he hopes demonstrates for readers how recovery is never a straight line. “The sequence of our past will eventually come around, whether it is months, years, or like Jason Feldman, decades,” Brian said.

Is sharing that message easier when your brother owns the Dallas Mavericks?

“My books get more noticed,” Brian said.

“Do I like that? Of course, I do. It would be disingenuous to say no, but also, my method of recovery gets more noticed, and that’s good too. If someone listens to my story and gets hope because I am Mark Cuban’s brother, why is that bad?”

From SMU to Sidley

Lawyers continue 25-year tradition

HILTON PARK CITIES GOES ‘MODERN COWBOY’

Jon Flaming’s work gives hotel distinct Texas vibe, personality

By Rachel Snyder

rachel.snyder@peoplenewspapers.com

The Stray, a large painting from Texas artist Jon Flaming’s Modern Cowboy series, welcomes guests to the Hilton Dallas Park Cities.

It’s one of 18-pieces installed in the Preston Center hotel to help guests feel they are in Dallas.

My mom started collecting his art because he did these kind of iconic images of Big Tex at the State Fair, and our family has been involved with Fair Park for, I would imagine, over 100 years.

T. Dupree Scovell “I think the frequent criticism of most large, branded hotels is that if you’re walking through the lobby or staying in the guest room, you could be anywhere,” said Woodbine managing partner T. Dupree Scovell.

“There’s rarely a true sense of identity that gives you a sense of place for where you are.”

“To have that Texas look and feel and brand but in a way that’s not expected – that’s really the whole goal for me with the series called Modern Cowboy that I created three or four years ago was to reimagine the Western art genre,” Flaming said. “Some of my earlier work was more impressionistic. I think with the Modern Cowboy, it’s going to be more influenced by cubism and primitive and modern and contemporary and folk art.”

Specifically, The Stray is a homage to artist Otis Dozier’s 1976 painting Stubborn Maverick.

Woodbine Development’s investment arm Woodbine Legacy Investments acquired the 224-room Hilton Dallas Park Cities in 2017. Dupree’s father, John, co-founded Woodbine Development with Ray L. Hunt in 1973. The Hyatt Regency with the landmark Reunion Tower was one of the company’s early projects.

The real estate development company now operates 1,500 hotel rooms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“What Woodbine has tried to do is ... take after the personality of the city that we are in to try and really create that sense of place,” Scovell said.

He’s long had his eyes on Flaming’s

work, first learning of it through his mother, Diane, who’s collected the artist’s work for 15-20 years.

“My mom started collecting his art because he did these kind of iconic images of Big Tex at the State Fair, and our family has been involved with Fair Park for, I would imagine, over 100 years or something because my grandfather and his affiliation with the Cotton Bowl,” Scovell said.

So, when Scovell started thinking about art for the hotel, he immediately thought of Flaming.

“When Woodbine bought this hotel, and I saw kind of how disconnected the art was,” Scovell said, “I called Jon right away and just said, ‘Hey, I’ve got an idea. I don’t know if I can afford to have that many of your works in our lobby, but why don’t you come take a look at it and see if you kind of have the same vision I do?’”

“The goal here was to create a very cohesive look with the art,” Flaming said.

The pair walked the property and came up with an installation of pieces that showcased iconic Texas imagery. They began talking about the project in 2019, and the last piece was installed in the fall of 2021.

Eventually, Scovell hopes to add more of Flaming’s work throughout the property.

They’ve also talked about a coffee table book highlighting Flaming’s photography.

Preston Hollow residents Angela Zambrano and Scott Parel have gone from attending law school at SMU together, where they graduated in 1997, to managing partners at global law firm Sidley Austin’s Dallas office.

“Angela (and I) were in the same law school class, graduated the same time, we started at the same firm at the same time, we made partner at the same time, and then we moved over to Sidley in 2013 at the same time as part of a large move from our prior firm here to Sidley,” Parel said.

Zambrano and Parel took over the role of Park Cities resident Yvette Ostolaza, who was recently elected to chair the firm’s management committee.

Effective April 2022, Ostolaza will lead one of the two main governing bodies of the sixth-largest law firm in the U.S. in terms of revenue.

Zambrano also Angela Zambrano serves as a co-leader of the firm’s commercial litigation and disputes practice, head of Sidley’s litigation group in Dallas, and co-chair of the firm’s committee on the retention and promotion of women. Scott Parel (COURTESY PHOTOS) She also serves on the board of Texas Appleseed, which seeks to promote social, economic, and racial justice for all Texans, and served as president of the Dallas Women Lawyers Association in 2016.

Parel is also a co-leader of the firm’s private equity practice and leads the corporate department of the Dallas office.

“We both found it to be an incredible law firm and platform for our clients,” Zambrano said.

Parel said they’re excited about managing Sidley’s Dallas office together.

“Angela and I have known each other for a long time ... so almost 25 years, and we trust each other, we have great respect for each other’s practices and leadership, and so I think we’re feeling pretty great about the idea of doing this together. It’s a big job, and there’s a lot to do.”

Among their goals in their new roles is continuing to grow Sidley’s Dallas office.

“We’re growing at a really nice pace, we continue to attract great talent to the platform here, we continue to strive to provide collaborative and really the best service we can to clients and achieve the results they’re looking for,” Parel said.

When they’re not working, they enjoy traveling and spending time with their families. Zambrano has three children, and Parel has two.

Real Estate Quarterly

THE LAY OF THE LAND

Appealing to home buyers starts at the curb, real estate expert says

By Bethany Erickson

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

Even when the market is as hot as the Dallas real estate market is, to get top dollar for a home — and as many offers as possible — making a first impression starts at the curb.

There are just so many messages you’re sending on that walk up to the front door.

Lucinda Buford Just ask Lucinda Buford. The real estate professional with Allie Beth Allman & Associates says any to-do list for getting a property ready to put on the market needs to include at least a little bit of yard work. That’s especially true in a market where many homes go for millions of dollars.

“I would recommend even though there is low inventory, that if you want to get top dollar that you need to have fresh color,” she said, adding that the endeavor can be easy and comes by the bagful. “You can hide a multitude of sins with fresh mulch.

“There are just so many messages you’re sending on that walk up to the front door.”

Buford also recommends — especially after the last winter storm — having professionals inspect your landscape, paying attention to one of the most prominent aspects of it — your trees.

“Have someone come out and look at your landscape and see what’s going on after that storm,” she said. “Make sure you’re taking care of your trees — I think everyone became aware of the value and expense of trees with the tornado — people started realizing, ‘You know, this is a hundred-thousand-dollar investment, I’ve got to take care of these trees.’”

After that, she said, look at

your paint and front door.

“Look at the curb appeal, touch up the paint, repair your wood rot, freshen up your front door,” she said. “Buyers are looking for everything to be move-in ready.”

Buford also said that while there is no shortage of grandly landscaped estates in Preston Hollow

agents,” she said. “I had it painted, re-did the landscape, staged, made some minor repairs, and had it under contract in multiple offers in six days.”

February may be a little too early for spring planting, Buford said, but she still recommends maintenance items like weeding

and Park Cities, any home can benefit from an exterior refresher before it goes on the market.

Case in point, she said, was a home on Northaven Road she sold last year after it had languished on the market.

And don’t forget the backyard, either.

“If you have a pool, make sure it’s well maintained because people really are looking for turn-key when they’re looking at a house,” she said.

Valley View/Galleria Redevelopment Gets New Name, Fresh Eyes PROGRESS REPORT • Three new multi-family projects and a new 256-room hotel are complete, and ZOM Living has turned dirt on a 3.5 acre luxury apartment property at Noel Road.

• Dallas ISD’s 2020 bond package was passed, which includes funding for a new K-12 STEAM school in the Dallas International District.

• A complete street project at Montfort Drive will be finished by the end of 2022.

• The Prism Center building was purchased by the City of Dallas.

The City Council’s Economic Development Committee in January reviewed a plan for the 450-acre multicultural Dallas International District.

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

The area north of Interstate 635, between Preston Road, the Dallas North Tollway, has had many names. Valley View-Galleria. Midtown. The giant crater with the AMC Theater.

But now it has a new name — the Dallas International District — and advocates for the project say it also has fresh energy and a vision that they insist will take it beyond the rubble and on to a thriving business, entertainment, and residential destination.

Why the name change?

“As the area was being redeveloped, one of

the owners proposed Midtown as a possible name,” Suzanne Smith, CEO of Social Impact Architects, explained to People Newspapers.

At the same time, another development near Walnut Hill and U.S. 75 also began to call itself Midtown, she said.

“That development has successfully embraced this brand and now calls itself Midtown Improvement District,” Smith, a consultant who has been working with the city for a year or so, said. “Since the Valley View mall no longer exists, and Midtown is taken, we have renamed the area – Dallas International District.”

In January, the district’s strategic plan was presented to the Dallas City Council’s

Economic Development Committee by Smith and assistant director of economic development Kevin Spath.

Funding for the district will come from a mix of public-private sources, including the city, local developers, businesses, private foundations, and others.

Plans still include a much-discussed 20-acre park with the Prism building at 5580 Peterson Lane purchased in April 2021 to anchor the park as a cultural center and home to a District 11 city council office.

“As Dallas’ vibrant global community continues to develop, our new office at the Prism Center helps form deeper connections with

A complete street project anticipated to wrap up by the end of the year will see Montfort Drive going from six to four lanes, with improved walkability and new bike lanes.

Smith also pointed out that the name change wasn’t just a rebranding. The location — already home to a diverse array of residents and businesses — is perfect for such an endeavor, she said. “It’s more … an opportunity to leverage all our assets — physical and people.”

How to Use Collections to Personalize Your Home Collections are so important to interior design that I can’t help MARGARET C H A M B E R S but be surprised when I meet a client who doesn’t collect anything.

Collectibles give a home personality, pull the house together, and serve as conversation starters when guests come over. In this article, I’ll discuss how an interior designer would display a client’s collection and list ideas for those interested in collecting who don’t know where to start.

Step 1: Starting Your Collection Whether you are drawn to blue-and-white Delft, ceramics, black-and-white photography, tortoiseshell boxes, or snuff bottles, many kinds of collectibles are suited for different styles of homes.

If nothing comes to mind, consider collecting something that will complement your home’s existing decor and architecture. For example, I like to decorate modern homes with African art and textiles. For a Santa Fe-style home, I would recommend Native American pottery and baskets.

Step 2: Curate Your Collection Before you find a place for your

collection, make sure to curate it first. Prioritize the pieces that are in the best condition and fit your decorating scheme.

Items in your collection don’t have to be a part of a matching set but do need to harmonize in terms of color, scale, and texture.

If you’re displaying prints on a wall, start with the largest in the middle and arrange smaller prints around it.

Step 3: Artfully Arrange Your Pieces Next, you’ll want to design the display area. Open shelves, for example, can be painted the same

color as the wall to help them fade into the background. You can create a more formal look by displaying items in a lighted curio cabinet. For collections of small items — like perfume bottles, tiny ceramics, seashells, or glassware — try using a decorative tray to bring everything together.

If you have some ideas for a collection but aren’t sure where to start shopping, consider working with an interior designer. People who already own an extensive collection can also benefit from working with a professional.

A designer will enjoy finding the best way to showcase your prized

collection, and by having it on display, you can ensure that the space is truly a reflection of you and your taste.

People Newspapers covered the Preston Center garage saga for months, and months have passed without progress toward a three-level garage for 1,200 cars below grade with a community park at grade level.

I’m disappointed the city of Dallas hasn’t issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to attract developers, architects, engineers, and general contractors.

Blame it on the pandemic if you must, but the city should be leading in “building for a better future.”

I “envision Preston Center” in a dream world where it has become a destination for shopping and dining: The two-way traff ic around the square welcomes strangers, as does the east garage entrance off Kate Street. I don’t know of a more unique entrance to a garage than this one with ramps in a light well and a glass weather shelter that allows daylight to the lower level. LED lighting duplicates that surprise at night. The technology at the garage entrance identifies where open parking is available and specific locations for accessible parking and for charging our cars.

Blame it on the pandemic if you must, but the city should be leading in ‘building for a better future.’

Learning there is 24hr/7day/week security watch via monitored cameras in the garage, stairs, and elevators, as well as seeing roaming

maintenance personnel keeping the garage and park “Disney World clean,” will prompt you to plan a return visit.

The high rise is 90% leased/60% occupied and the restaurants and shops on the park are open and busy. Where else in Dallas do you find a pedestrian street a block long that attracts dining and shopping choice in a park environment? Where else in Dallas do you see shopping carts beside someone having lunch in a park environment with “man’s best friend” comfortable at their feet? Where else in Dallas is there this much shade when you shop? Where else is there a performance venue “on the green” where you shop? The Preston Center experience is unique.

I know the wait was long (time is money) but the rainbow is that all of Dallas will benefit because Preston Center has become a destination. The attractions will put money in the bank for the city, the property owners, and the businesses; and “building for a better future” will influence development in all directions.

The city, which owns the garage block, and the Preston Center property owners must work together to support redevelopment. As friends of Preston Center, you, the reader, can cause that to happen by sharing your vision with People Newspapers.

BOND BETWEEN GREENHILL TEAMMATES FEELS LIKE FAMILY Shelby, Dort look to lift Hornets to SPC crown before heading to Vanderbilt

By Todd Jorgenson

SPC WINTER CHAMPIONSHIPS

People Newspapers

O

ne is a sharpshooting guard, and the other an overpowering big man, but Noah Shelby and Lee Dort have more than just complementary skill sets.

The Greenhill seniors have the uncanny chemistry of two teammates who have shared the basketball court hundreds of times and the brotherhood of two teenagers from different backgrounds who live under the same roof.

What: Basketball, soccer, swimming, wrestling When: Feb. 10-12 Where: Fort Worth

We have good chemistry on the court and off the court.

Noah Shelby

Their partnership has the Hornets aiming for an SPC championship in February, after which the duo will head to Vanderbilt University in Nashville for a rare opportunity — to continue playing alongside one another at a major college program.

“I think it will be great for both of us because freshman year

in college is such a huge step,” Shelby said. “We have good chemistry on the court and off the court.”

Shelby is a 6-foot-3 guard known for his shooting range and tenacious defense. Dort is a 6-foot-10 center who dunks frequently and dominates in the paint.

Dort grew up playing

soccer in his native Haiti before coming to Texas four years ago.

His legal guardian is Shelby’s father, Derrick, a prominent grassroots basketball coach who has specialized in helping students from the Caribbean country realize their potential.

“At first, it was hard being away from my family,” Dort said. “I just

did what was best for my future.”

Dort and Noah Shelby began playing together on the summer circuit before eventually taking their partnership to Greenhill. During their sophomore year, they started talking about being teammates in college if the right opportunity came along.

“He knows my game, and I

know his game. That makes things easier,” Dort said. “We’ve been playing together for a long time. We play video games together and pretty much do everything together.”

Earlier this season, Shelby scored 40 points in Greenhill’s win over public-school powerhouse Lancaster and later added 38 points during a game at the prestigious Tarkanian Classic tournament in Las Vegas.

The Hornets hope to earn their first title since 1999 at a highly competitive conference tournament that will include rivals such as Episcopal School of Dallas, St. Mark’s School of Texas, and Houston Christian.

“They’re high-character kids, and they work extremely hard. They live in the gym,” said Greenhill head coach Joey Sims. “They definitely make my job a lot easier. We want to run things through those two guys.”

Heavy Lifting: Hillcrest Senior Grapples With History

Fuentes hopes to earn a state title while spurring growth for the sport

When Americo Fuentes started wrestling as a freshman at Hillcrest, he lost more matches than he won. Three years later, he’s aiming for his second straight appearance at the Class 5A state tournament.

During his freshman year, Hillcrest only had about six wrestlers in the program and regularly recruited newcomers from the hallways to fill open spots. Three years later, the Panthers have about 60 athletes in the wrestling program, with depth in almost every weight class.

The parallel success for Fuentes and Hillcrest is no coincidence. The heavyweight has embraced the team aspect of the sport from the beginning. So, when he finished fourth at state a year ago — the best result in school history — it was an emotional achievement for multiple reasons.

“It meant a lot to me,” Fuentes said. “I just want PCP_Feb2022-1inBanner.pdf everybody to get into the sport.

1 1/11/2022 3:16:57IPM want it to be better after I leave. I want it to grow.”

Mostly wrestling against taller guys with more muscular frames, the 5-foot8, 270-pound Fuentes knows how to wear them out.

“He’s very deceiving when you look at him,” said Hillcrest coach Duncan Iannucci.

“He works so hard in the offseason, and you can see it when he wrestles. He’s a strong kid for his size.”

He became interested in the sport because of his father, who wrestled in high school and attends all his matches. After struggling at first, he qualified for regionals as a sophomore and then made it to state as a junior.

Fuentes also is the starting center for a football squad that has reached the playoffs in each of the past two years. Toward the end of football season, Fuentes typically starts ramping up his training for wrestling by improving his diet and fitness regimen.

Football is a high priority, but wrestling requires a different skill set.

“Being explosive off the mat translates to blocking,” he said. “It’s just getting your mind ready to compete. When I first started

I had to get a lot more responsible as a person.

As he powers toward the state tournament in February, Fuentes hopes to bring more attention to wrestling at Hillcrest, whether that means upgraded equipment or singlets for his younger teammates or perhaps

laying a foundation for future champions.

“He comes in every day and leads drills.

He’s always setting an example in practice and during matches,” Iannucci said. “That winning attitude is contagious to the rest of the team. He has opened up the door for other kids.”

MOTHER, DAUGHTER SHARE APPETITE FOR ADVENTURE

Leya and Denise Glazer celebrate their second cookbook, ‘The Worldly Vegetarian’

By Daniel Lalley

Special Contributor

ALOO GOBI

Directions:

Ingredients:

Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped onion and one teaspoon of cumin seeds to the oil. Stir together and cook until onions become creamy, golden, and translucent.

Add chopped coriander stalks, two teaspoons of turmeric, and one teaspoon of salt. Add chopped chilis (according to taste) Stir tomatoes into onion mixture. Add ginger and garlic; mix thoroughly.

Add potatoes and cauliflower to the sauce plus a few tablespoons of water (ensuring that the mixture doesn’t stick to the saucepan).

Ensure that the potatoes and cauliflower are coated with the curry sauce.

Cover and allow to simmer for twenty minutes (or until potatoes are cooked).

Add two teaspoons of Garam Masala and stir. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves on top of the curry.

Turn off the heat, cover, and leave for as long as possible before serving.

hen you think about all modern adolescents have on their plates, it’s hard to imagine them making time for much outside of school, sports, and studying.

But Leya Glazer, a ninth-grader at The Hockaday School, has completed two vegetarian cookbooks – one an international cuisine guide – proving her appetite for extracurricular adventures is far from ordinary.

Leya has been a vegetarian since kindergarten when her mother, Denise, a food scientist and biochemist, explained her reasons for not eating meat.

“After taking a meat science class during my graduate program, I just couldn’t eat it anymore,” Denise said. “When Leya asked about my reasons, she decided to become a vegetarian as well.”

After Leya told her friends she was a vegetarian, the trend caught on at school but not in the healthiest of ways.

“We noticed a lot of her friends we’re becoming ‘pizza-tarians’ and ‘doughnut-tarians,’” Denise said.

“We wanted to ensure they were getting the right amounts of nutrients and proteins from their diets, so we decided to write our first cookbook with healthier recipes.”

¼ cup vegetable oil 1 large onion, peeled and cut into small pieces 1 bunch fresh coriander, separated into stalks and leaves and roughly chopped 1 small green chili, chopped into small pieces (or one teaspoon chili powder) 1 large cauliflower, leaves removed and cut evenly into eighths 3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into even pieces 2 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

After publishing her first vegetarian cookbook, Leya’s friends were excited to expand their palettes.

But then Leya spoke to a friend from India and learned there was still so much ground to cover.

“My friend Anika came to me and said I should include some recipes from India,” Leya said.

“She told me there were a lot of great vegetarian recipes from her culture.”

This spurred a two-year journey of curating cuisines from all over

2 teaspoons turmeric 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons garam masala

the world and culminated in Leya’s second cookbook, The Worldly Vegetarian.

This latest publication was conceived on the philosophy that food brings people together and features 68 recipes from 30 countries, from Greece to Guatemala and Thailand to Turkey. Recipes include international favorites like bibimbap, empanadas, and Aloo Gobi – an

Indian potato and cauliflower dish provided by Anika Kapoor, a chief inspiration for the book.

Available on Amazon, The Worldly Vegetarian encourages new adventures in vegetarian cooking and promotes cultural awareness through culinary exploration with vivid maps and historical contexts.

“Food brings people together,” the book states. “breaking ‘bread’

with people breaks barriers!”

Next, Leya and Denise plan to gather ideas for a cookbook promoting gluten, sugar, and dairyfree recipes.

“My son was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease four years ago,” Denise said. “So, I think our next step is trying to help others through diet who share that same affliction.”

Mothers and daughters from Preston Hollow, the Park Cities, and other parts of Dallas returned from a 2009 Orphans Outreach mission trip to Guatemala wanting to do more.

So, they founded Women for Orphans Worldwide (WOW ), an auxiliary of the faith-based nonprofit that sponsored the mission trip. WOW has since raised nearly $2 million and taken more than 1,000 people on 50 mission trips.

In December, its 13th Annual Heart of WOW Luncheon and Orphan Outreach Marketplace raised $200,000 to help orphaned and vulnerable children in Guatemala.

Cynthia Izaguirre, a news anchor for WFAA, emceed the Dec. 6 affair at the Westin Galleria Dallas and spoke of her passion for advocating for vulnerable children.

Ursuline Academy sophomore Olivia Isbell, adopted from Guatemala by a WOW founder, also spoke.

Luncheon guests shopped the Orphan Outreach Marketplace – orphanoutreach. org/marketplace – a social enterprise created by Orphan Outreach to benefit the children it serves and artisans whose works are sold.

Big investment in AI

Supercomputing at SMU is getting, well, more super.

A collaboration with industry leader NVIDIA will boost the university’s supercomputer memory tenfold and set the stage for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning 25 times faster.

“Research universities like ours have an obligation to actively engage in the development and application of AI for societal good, and this partnership gives us the tools to do it,” said SMU President R. Gerald Turner.

The $11.5 million investment in hardware, software, and training also will provide tangible benefits for North Texas, university and city leaders said.

“Through research collaborations built on SMU’s capabilities in artificial intelligence, we have the potential to boost our city’s booming economy, improve our workforce, and learn to solve major challenges that we face,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said.

“Cutting-edge vibrational spectroscopy is continuously broadening our understanding of molecules and their chemical reactions,” said Elfi Kraka, the Dedman Family Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry.

National Science Foundation (NSF) funding allowed SMU to aquire a state-of-the-art Raman spectrometer that uses laser light to excite vibrations in a sample and reveal a wealth of information ranging from temperature to molecular disorder.

Applications of such research can go far beyond chemistry, from fine-tuning and designing new materials to understanding and modifying the biological activity in enzymes, with broad applications for health care.

Despite broad participation and interest,

unaddressed issues limit the positive impact of youth sports in America: • Access to organized youth sports is limited by family income. According to the 2020 Census, only 23.4% of children aged 6 to 11 living below the poverty line Dr. James Andrews participate in sports.

• The CDC reports that fewer than 24% of children are physically active every day, leading to serious health problems like childhood obesity.

• Volunteer coachPeter Weyand es are the backbone of organized youth sports, but only 10% receive relevant training, leading to youth injury and

burnout, according to the National Alliance for Youth Sports.

The Youth Sports Impact Partnership, a collaboration between SMU and the Children’s Health Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, will take an evidence-based approach to address those issues.

“This partnership will benefit the field of sports medicine and the entire youth sports sector by focusing on injury prevention and performance through a collaborative effort for sports medicine professionals and coaches across the industry,” said Dr. James Andrews, founder of the institute.

Peter Weyand, who directs the Locomotor Performance Lab in SMU’s Simmons School of Education and Human Development, has researched the benefits of exercise and activity.

“I look forward to the opportunity to use science to inspire kids to be active, have fun and learn all at the same time,” he said.

Surely, television personality Scott Murray couldn’t serve as emcee at a dinner where he was the intended honoree.

Instead, Jim Keyes filled the master of ceremonies role during the inaugural Unsung Hero celebration on Dec. 3 at Fair Park.

“Scott Murray has done more for North Texas nonprofits than any other,” quipped Bob Hopkins, founder and chairman for the new event benefitting what used to be called The Scholarship Fund.

Hank Alterman, founder of the fund, announced its name change to the Scott Murray Scholarship Fund.

Sponsors for the event included Ron and Sandi Haddock, the Steve and Barbara Durham Family, Bob and Myrna Schlegel, Jim and Margo Keyes, Dr. Ken and Millie Cooper, and People Newspapers.

Daniel McCowen, a prelaw student at Baylor University, received a $3,000 scholarship.

TIFFANY DIANE BYRD – LIEUTENANT DAVID TOWER COOK

T

iffany Diane Byrd and Lieutenant David Tower Cook exchanged wedding vows on Sunday, November 28, 2021, at The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. It was a small, intimate affair with immediate family, Lindy Smellage Clanton, Tiffany's best friend and matron of honor, and Kyle Stringer, Tower's best friend and best man. The ceremony was officiated by Bill Rector of Highland Country Fellowship Church and accompanied by beautiful music performed by a quartet led by Louise Rossi-Sklar.

The bride is the daughter of Diane and David Harold Byrd, III of Dallas, Texas. She is the granddaughter of Roberta Brackenridge Menger Byrd and the late David Harold Byrd, Jr of Dallas, Texas; Gloria Busey Welch and the late Albert Bergen Welch of Dallas, Texas.

The groom is the son of Penny and Dr. Hubert David Cook of Dallas, Texas. He is the grandson of Maxine Redman Cook and the late Hubert Vinson Cook of Levelland, Texas, and the late Lou Bullington Tower and Sen. John Goodwin Tower of Dallas, Texas.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a custom bridal gown designed for her by Michael Faircloth. A sweetheart neckline in front contrasted with a deep "V" neckline in the back.

Numerous layers of tulle swathed the fitted bodice and draped across her shoulders in gentle folds.

Releasing from the fitted waist were layers of tulle cut in a circular fashion. Delicate hand beading and Chantilly lace appliqué embellished the bodice and skirt in an organic floral and vine motif. The bride requested to further customize her

P H O T O G R A P H E R : J A M E S E D WA R D

gown, with personal touches hidden within the floral embroidery. Two embroidered love birds alighting on an anchor reflected the groom's service in the US Navy and gently referenced the bride's maiden name.

The bride complemented her gown with an heirloom bridal veil of Brussels lace, which she borrowed from the groom's family. The lace

was brought from Brussels by Tower's great grandparents, Grover and Marian Bullington, in the 1960s. They had three children, and from those three children, they had a total of 10 granddaughters and no grandsons. Each family received a piece of lace to use as wedding veils.

Before Tiffany, Tower's aunt, Jeanne Tower Cox, wore the veil.

Dana Conner of Artistry by Dana Conner did the bride's hair and makeup. Ms. Conner smoothed out Tiffany's curly hair, keeping the curls as natural as possible, and provided elegant yet natural makeup, complementing the glowing bride's overall look.

The newlyweds welcomed their family to a cocktail reception and dinner in a private room of The Rosewood Mansion following the wedding ceremony. Florals

by Park Cities Petals and music from the quartet created a dreamy, romantic ambiance for the entire evening. Small floral arrangements of various shades of white, blush, and accents of deep burgundy, delicate greenery, candles, and bold, large high florals lined the tables.

The luscious garland framing the mantle of the fireplace created a stunning backdrop behind the bride and groom when they were seated for dinner. Sarah Hobbs from Park Cities Petals did not miss a single detail as she created warmth and intimacy with the arrangements throughout the rooms of the ceremony and dinner reception. The couple's first dance was to "Unchained Melody" by Alex North, performed by the string quartet. Next, the father/ daughter dance was a waltz to "Stars Over Texas" by Tracy Lawrence, and the mother/son dance was to Frank Sinatra's "I Wish You Love," both arranged by Sammy Davenport for the quartet.

Photographer James Edward and videographers Ted Bangs and Brad Evans captured the wedding ceremony and the reception for the newlyweds.

Tiffany is a 2012 graduate of Trinity Christian Academy.

After graduation, she pursued a

professional ballet career. Tiffany spent a year in Salt Lake City with Ballet West, then two years with Ballett Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany, and then five years with Národní divadlo Brno Balet (the ballet of the National Theater of Brno) in Brno, Czech Republic.

She received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Business Management, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Dallas Baptist University in 2019. She also completed a graduate studies course in International Diplomacy at Oxford University in 2021.

Tiffany is currently pursuing her master's degree in Cultural Mediation and Intercultural Communication from SMU. Tower graduated f rom St. Mark's School of Texas in 2012.

He then attended Texas A&M, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2016 with a major in Political Science and minors in History and Russian. During his time in College Station, Tower was also a member of The Corps of Cadets and Phi Beta Kappa and was director of the Freudian Slip Improv Troupe. After college, he received his commission as an officer in the US Navy in 2016. For three years, Tower was stationed in Point Mugu, California, deploying twice to the South China Sea aboard the USS CARL VINSON and USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT, making the first port call by an aircraft carrier in Vietnam since the Vietnam War. Currently, he is stationed at RAF Molesworth in the United Kingdom with USAFRICOM. The newlyweds will make their home in Cambridge, England, near Tower's base.

TRANSPLANT BREAKTHROUGH RAISES HOPE IN NORTH TEXAS

Medical City performs first Texas operation using heart after cardiac death

By Josh Hickman

Special Contributor

I

t doesn’t take a theologian to see a transplanted human heart beating anew in a new chest as miraculous.

“There is always that moment,” said Dr. Brian Lima, describing a pivotal moment in the surgery. “Is this thing going to take off? I call it a mini-miracle every time.”

The demand for lifesaving hearts, sadly, of course, always outweighs the supply.

“Many patients become too sick and die waiting for a heart,” explained Lima, surgical director of heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support at Medical City Dallas.

However, a recent milestone operation at Medical City Heart Hospital brings North Texas hope for a larger donor pool and shorter waiting times.

Until recently, transplants in the United States only used hearts from braindead donors whose other organs still functioned. That is changing.

“In recent years, we’ve devised ways to reanimate the heart to determine if it is usable and viable for transplant,” he said. “Organs such as the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs have for years been used for transplant this way,

FROM LEFT: Dr. Brian Lima, transplant patient Yolanda Triplett, and nurse Hailey Brooks. (PHOTO: COURTESY MEDICAL CITY HEART HOSPITAL)

but up until now, the heart was never feasible.”

In December, Medical City performed what Lima called the first such donation after cardiac death (DCD) transplant in Texas.

The recipient, 50-year-old Yolanda Triplett, first went on the transplant list in 2014 after intense treatments for breast cancer damaged her heart.

“Only 24 hours after the transplant, the patient was off the ventilator and sitting in a chair,” Lima said of the remarkably resilient Triplett. “Her prognosis is wonderful. The heart is great, and she’s doing extremely well.”

In a press release from the hospital, Triplett expressed her gratitude for “this wonderful gift.”

“When I found out that I was getting a new heart, I was excited and nervous at the same time because I had waited so long for this,” she said. “I thought it would never come.”

According to the American College of Cardiology, the new procedure could increase the donor pool by 30%, matching an increase seen overseas.

“England has been doing this for at least five years,” Lima said.

The esteemed cardiac surgeon was drawn to North Texas by a clear cardiac health need – a population of eight million and growing with only three heart transplant programs.

“It’s probably one of the most underserved heart failure populations in the country,” he said. “I felt I could really make a difference and help get to more patients with this lifesaving therapy.”

The Medical City transplant team has performed more than 600 heart transplants since the program began in 1991, consistently ranking among the topperforming transplant centers across the country, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients.

“I really think we’re going to continue to make strides to get lifesaving treatment to as many people as possible,” Lima said. “And there are a lot of them here in this area.”

Mother, Daughter Make Linzer Tarts For All Kinds of Sweethearts I always bake heart-shaped cookies to give to family and friends on Valentine’s Day. Over the years, I’ve come to realize this lovely time shouldn’t just be for sweethearts, but rather for all the special people in our lives.

CHRISTY ROST What better way to convey our feelings than to send Valentine cards and homemade cookies?

Maybe it’s because I have a February birthday, but I cannot resist purchasing packets of pretty Valentines as soon as they appear in stores. After all, who doesn’t love discovering a pink envelope in their mailbox on February 14?

One of my mentors, Julia Child, who launched the first Public Television cooking series and set the stage for those of us who would follow, never sent out Christmas cards but was famous for her creative Valentines.

Last year, we invited my 94-year-old mother to stay with us at Swan’s Nest for the winter.

In early December, she accompanied us on our 14-hour drive

f rom Dallas to Breckenridge, Colorado. As Valentine’s Day approached, I suggested she help me bake and decorate cookies as a surprise gift for her younger sister. We set aside a day to bake together, and it will always remain a precious memory for us both.

Early that morning, I set butter and eggs aside to come to room temperature and brought flour, sugar, and other ingredients f rom the pantry. Mom donned the cute gingerbread man apron I had sewn for her as a Christmas gift, and we got to work measuring, mixing, rolling, and cutting cookie dough, baking, and decorating cookies.

As we worked, I was deeply aware of the gift of mother and daughter baking together in my Swan’s Nest studio kitchen.

It was warm and fragrant in the kitchen, while outdoors, it was a winter wonderland.

Mom and I baked Valentine’s sugar cookies, decorated with a thin layer of frosting and tinted sprinkles, but it was the Linzer Tarts that captured her heart.

These two-layer, heart-shaped vanilla cookies, sandwiched together with strawberry or raspberry jam, are European favorites. A heart-shaped hole in the upper layer offers a window to the sweet jam, and a dusting of

LINZER TARTS Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 ¼ cups sifted confectioners’ sugar 2 eggs, at room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds ½ cup seedless raspberry jam Confectioners’ sugar, for garnish Directions:

In February 2021, Christy Rost enjoyed making cookies with her 94-year-old mom Jinx Schnoes, now 95. (PHOTOS: COURTESY CHRISTY ROST) confectioners’ sugar provides the finishing touch. Linzer Tarts are a sweetheart of a gift for friends and neighbors when tucked into transparent cellophane sacks tied with red ribbon, and they ship well without crumbling. Happy Valentine’s Day! Christy Rost, a cookbook author and PBS chef, is a longtime resident of the Park Cities and Preston Hollow. Her ‘Celebrating Home’ 4-minute cooking videos are available at youtube.com/ChristyRostCooks and christyrost.com.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are fragrant and light brown.

Remove them from the oven, transfer them to a plate, and cool completely. When they are cool, place the almonds in a small food processor or coffee grinder, and process just until they are finely ground.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beat well, and stir in vanilla.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and ground almonds. Stir

the flour mixture into the creamed mixture to form a soft dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Roll out cookie dough on a floured pastry cloth or counter to ¼-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch heartshaped cookie cutter dipped in flour, and place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets. Cut the centers out of half the cookies using a 1-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter.

Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are light brown. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. When the cookies are completely cool, spread the solid ones with raspberry jam, slightly mounding it in the center of each cookie, and top with the remaining cookies. Sift lightly with confectioners’ sugar, which will melt over the jam, leaving a glossy center.

Yield: 22 to 24 cookies

Feeling Very Peri

Pantone’s Color of the Year could leave you blue, but in a good way

By Bethany Erickson

bethany.erickson@peoplenewspapers.com

Move over Ultimate Gray, 2022 is all about brighter days with a shade of blue that is versatile and perfect for pops of color throughout the home.

Every year, Pantone chooses a brand-new color, and almost immediately, it trends.

This year’s choice, the company leaders said, is an intentional nod to a transformation from lockdowns and social distancing to hope and potential progress, moving from the Ultimate Gray of 2021 to a brighter blue for the new year.

“Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through,” the company announced. “As we emerge

from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways.”

Color, the company leaders said, is a form of communication — and they mean to communicate possibilities.

“The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer,” said Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. “As society continues to recognize color as a critical form of communication, and a way to express and affect ideas and emotions and engage and connect, the complexity of this new red-violet infused blue

Pantone’s color of the year for 2022 is Very Peri, a shade of blue that — as it’s name suggests — skews toward periwinkle and is meant to represent the transition from “an intense period of isolation. (PHOTOS: COURTESY LISA HENDERSON INTERIORS AND PANTONE)

hue highlights the expansive possibilities that lay before us.”

We asked local designer (and member of our 2021 20 Under 40 class) Lisa Henderson how best to

use Very Peri in the home.

Is it better to use it for pops of color that you can change out periodically, or is this a color that you could embrace with bigger, more

permanent choices?

I think that with the right scheme, Very Peri can be used with a more long-lasting approach, but I might take the color down just a bit to create a softer, more inviting feel.

What kind of colors complement this new color of the year the best?

There are several shades that complement Very Peri. Personally, I would mix with a yellow or a soft, pale blue.

Incorporating Very Peri also allows you the opportunity to mix different shades of lighter or darker blues into the design.

What are some of your favorite local places to shop for trend pieces?

My favorite local places to shop for trend pieces are Blue Print, Madre, Antique Row, Acquisitions, and Scout.

HEAR THIS! Carol Langham’s Uniquely Yours Tea Room in Corsicana boasts superb sandwiches and decadent desserts. (PHOTOS: MARY MEIER-EVANS)

Want A ‘Uniquely Yours’ Trip to Remember? Try This Tea Room There’s nothing that soothes the soul like a day spent with friends.

And when the day includes a short road trip to enjoy delicious food and shopping – well, that’s a day to remember.

MARY Where can you go MEIER-EVANS to experience such a day? Corsicana, Texas, has a little jewel known as the Uniquely Yours Village.

I’m an old-fashioned gal, and I sure do love a good tea room. For those of you unfamiliar, tea rooms can be found in many small towns and even inside antique malls. The menu is typically finger sandwiches, soups, salads, and, of course, decadent desserts.

Uniquely Yours is by far one of the best tea rooms I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Not only is the food completely delicious (starting with the quality of the pimento cheese, which is superb), but the venue itself is something special.

Owner Carol Langham has sourced vintage serving pieces, from glassware to decor, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts old-school lovely and whimsical. The staff is kind and attentive, and when I visited last December, I felt like I was enjoying the day with long-lost family.

Carol is family to fellow Highland Park High School friend Christie Carter.

Uniquely Yours Tea Room is open Wednesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Reservations are unnecessary. Still, if you want

We’re HERE TO HELP!

to make a reservation for a larger group, you can request the room of your choice, choosing between Faith, Hope, and Love.

Grab your friends, take a break from the crazy pace of life, and make the short road trip back in time to this jewel in the heart of Corsicana.

There’s shopping too. Next door to the tea room is the Uniquely Yours Dress Shop – a wonderful old home converted into a fantastic women’s clothing shop.

The third structure in the Village is the Uniquely Yours Treasures Gift Shop, a historic Navarro County home built in the late 1800s and moved in its entirety to its new home. This quaint house’s rich character depicts its journey through the years. Today, local artists and artisans showcase their creative talents and offer a variety of treasures.

Corsicana is just a short 45-minute drive south on I-45 from Dallas.

Grab your friends, take a break from the crazy pace of life, and make the short road trip back in time to this jewel in the heart of Corsicana. Tell them I sent you!

“One of the easiest ways homeowners can lower their property tax bill is to file a homestead exemption.

Homestead exemptions reduce the appraised value of your home and, as a result, lower your property taxes. If you purchased a home in 2021, it’s now time to file your homestead exemption. Plan to purchase in the future? Thanks to a new law that took effect January 1, 2022, Texas homeowners may now file for a homestead exemption in the same year they purchase their primary residence, instead of the following year – as was the case in the past. To apply for a homestead exemption, contact your county appraisal district. If you have any questions regarding residential real estate, Ebby Halliday Realtors is ready to serve you.

Upgrade Older Homes’ Lighting While Maintaining Vintage Charm

(PHOTO: CLARK CRENSHAW)

Dallas, TX— Many people find buying and restoring older homes a great investment as well as a worthwhile endeavor. The challenge is often how you maintain the classic features of the home, while upgrading for better efficiency and safety. This also applies to outdoor and indoor lighting.

Often homes in older neighborhoods feature wonderful vintage lighting fixtures inside and outside the property. Due to the age of the systems, homeowners eventu-

ally confront the decision to either replace the whole system, or upgrade their existing system. Richard Lentz, owner of Lentz Landscape Lighting, says he gets these requests quite often. “We were recently called out to this amazing home featuring Mid-Century Modern outdoor light fixtures throughout the entire property. We were able to maintain the historical integrity of these vintage fixtures and upgrade them with highly efficient LED technology,” Lentz commented. “We are expertly trained in knowing how to balance warm and cool LED lights to present a soft, natural atmosphere as you take an evening stroll around your outdoor spaces.” He adds, “Upgrading to LED also provides cost savings for many years to come.”

Updating vintage indoor light fixtures provide the same benefits, so before replacing light fixtures in an historic or older home, consider upgrading to maintain the timely, distinctive features of a home filled with history.
