PASSOVER IN POLAND
Temple Emanu-El cantor travels to Warsaw to help Ukrainian refugees By Rachel Snyder
rachel.snyder@peoplenewspapers.com
C
antor Vicky Glikin of Temple Emanu-El spent Passover, the holiday marking the Jewish exodus from Egypt, in Poland. There, the Ukraine native helped lead Seder and used her Ukrainian, Russian, and English language skills to welcome and support refugees as they arrived at the train station in Warsaw. Glikin, born in Kyiv, lived there for 13 years before immigrating to the U.S. She still has family in Ukraine and felt inspired to help amid the war and refugee crisis. “As a member of the clergy, I had been in conversation with other colleagues who are similarly Russian and Ukrainian speaking who are serving congregations all over the U.S. either as rabbis or as cantors,” she said. “There was a sense that there is need on the ground and that those of us who are able to
provide pastoral care and emotional support for the refugees – that there would be a lot for us to do.” Glikin departed Dallas for Warsaw on April 13 with medical supplies, toys, and notes from students from Armstrong Elementary and Highland Park High School in tow.
In Judaism, there’s a saying that it’s not up to you to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it. Vicky Glikin While there, she unloaded donated food, entertained refugee children, and helped lead two Seders, including at the historic Nozyk Synagogue. She also spent time at
the Warsaw Central Train Station assisting the refugees as they arrived. “There’s constant need for volunteers who speak Russian and Ukrainian as the people keep arriving and need help figuring out next steps,” Glikin wrote in a blog detailing her experience on Temple Emanu-El’s website. Glikin returned to Dallas on April 21 and delivered a sermon about her trip the following Friday. “Most of the people arriving on the train in Warsaw have been traveling for days without much rest,” she said. “Many have traveled across Ukraine from places we hear about on the news, such as Kharkiv, or Mykolaev, or Melitopol. Their journey west has been filled with constant fear. “In my week in Warsaw, I was confronted with the consequences of the worst of humanity, but also with the best of humanity,” she said. “Again and again during my time in Warsaw and since my return, I have

felt that despite my best efforts, the impact that I have been able to have has been a tiny drop in a vast ocean of sorrow and need. That for every conversation that I had with someone, there were a thousand more people who walked by unaddressed.” Glikin encouraged others to support the people of Ukraine by donating, urging elected officials to support Ukraine, and staying informed. After all, she noted, “In Judaism, there’s a saying that it’s not up to you to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.”

Police Chief Outlines Four-Step Plan Garcia prioritizes recruitment, community trust, morale, retention By Maddie Spera
People Newspapers Chief of Police Eddie Garcia has a fourstep plan to grow and improve the Dallas Police Department. The first step is to recruit, he told members of the Rotary Club of Park Cities during one of the club’s weekly lunch meetings this spring.
The appreciation Dallas has for our men and women is amazing, and I applaud this city for it. Eddie Garcia Garcia explained that, especially in the past few years, many honorable police officers have felt vilified, which has resulted in fewer people willing to do the job. For police officers, support and appreciation from their community are essential. This aligns with the second step of his plan: to increase community trust, and Garcia already sees an improvement. “I came from a state where individuals are almost fearful of saying they support law enforcement,” Garcia said. “The appreciation Dallas has for our men and women is amazing, and I applaud this city for it.” He also wants to increase morale and prevent retirement-eligible officers from immediately leaving. “When we hire a recruit, it takes about 18 months until they’re ready to be a solo beat officer,” Garcia said. “We have an attrition rate in Dallas that fluctuates around 200 officers that are eligible to retire per year. If just 30 of those officers stuck around for another year, that’s an academy class, and it’s one that starts today, not in 18 months.” Implementing this plan is not without roadblocks. Garcia acknowledged that it would not be possible without the city’s support, specifically Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, whom Garcia called the most supportive mayor he has seen thus far.
Garcia prioritizes investing in the community rather than making mass arrests and ignoring the root of the issues. Last May, he put that into action when he went undercover and volunteered, along with a dozen other officers, at Cafe Momentum. The restaurant doubles as a non-profit helping formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate and have a second chance. The chief and other officers who volunteered came back a couple of weeks later in uniform and had a chance to speak with and encourage the young adults who work at Cafe Momentum. “We want our people to succeed,” Garcia said. “We do not succeed as a department if the individuals don’t succeed. So, it was important to show those young adults that not everyone is against them, and our police department certainly isn’t. A lot of our officers had a similar rough upbringing as the kids at Cafe Momentum, so sharing those stories was very impactful.” Garcia said Dallas has work to do but is on the right track to reduce violent crime and has the tools and plan to make that happen. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll try something else,” Garcia said. “But I guarantee you, this department will not give up.”
D I D YO U K N OW ? • In 2021, Edgardo (Eddie) Garcia became the 30th police chief and first Latino to lead the Dallas Police Department in its 140-year history. • Before coming to Dallas, Garcia spent his entire 29-year career with the San Jose Police Department, rising to chief in 2016. • He earned a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice management from Union Institute and University and studied administration of justice at De Anza College in Cupertino, California. • Originally from Puerto Rico, he is bilingual in English and Spanish. • He always wears long sleeves when in uniform to hide his tattoos.

Community BUSH SISTERS TALK BOOK, FAMILY, AND SUPERPOWERS
Former president shows up as daughters introduce their latest title By Karen Chaney
CO-WORKERS BECOME ‘CHOSEN SISTERS’
Special Contributor
A
udience members flipped through the pages of Superpower Sisterhood while awaiting the authors Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush to enter the stage at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. When the announcer said, “Please welcome the 43rd President of the United States,” the crowd erupted in gasps of surprise and applause. “It’s been a fun couple of days for Laura and me; our little girls are in town,” George W. Bush said. “I never thought they would be authors when they were teenagers. I wasn’t sure if they would grow up, but they did, and we’re incredibly proud of them.” The former president, sporting a pair of tennis shoes and blazer, then settled into his seat next to his wife, Laura Bush, and one of their grandchildren, Mila Hager, one of Jenna’s children. The moderator of the book tour presentation, Charlotte Jones, daughter of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president and chief brand officer for the team, began the talk in convivial fashion. “Before we jump into your book, I feel it is only suiting, since your family is here with us today, that we wind back a little bit and talk about family,” Jones said. Jenna relayed some of their reactions upon becoming first daughters while entering their freshman year of college. “When our dad told us he was
As a host of the Today Show, Jenna Bush Hager counts cohosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb as some of her chosen sisters. “I have an incredible sisterhood at work, and I suggest you all have that if you don’t because it makes work so much fun and makes life possible,” Jenna said. Barbara Bush, co-founder and board chair of Global Health Corps (GHC), said she was 26 years old when she started the organization and hired people who had more life experiences. They became the senior leadership and her chosen sisters. “You want to be next to someone you can have fun with,” Barbara said. “I ended up sleeping in bunk beds in Rwanda for five years with my colleagues. I am so grateful we are doing this work.”
Throughout the hour-long talk, audience members were treated to stories that triggered laughter and inspiration. FROM LEFT: Charlotte Jones, Jenna Bush Hager, and Barbara Bush. RIGHT: George W. Bush, 43rd president of the United States, surprised the audience when he stepped to the podium kicking off the book tour presentation. (PHOTOS: KAREN CHANEY) going to run for president, we cried. We told him he was ruining our life; it was slightly dramatic,” Jenna said, and the audience laughed. “He told us, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll have a normal college experience.’” As an adult, she appreciates the meaning behind his words. “I think, now that I’m a parent, what he was trying to do, what all parents try to do, was make their kids feel safe and happy,” Jenna said. The idea for Superpower Sisterhood originated while the sisters were on tour for their book, Sisters First. Barbara said many girls came with a cousin or best friend and spoke of wishing to have a sister. The Bush sisters replied that the
person they came with was their “chosen sister.” Because of these encounters, they decided to write a book about chosen sisters. They based the main character, Emma, on their mom, who was an only child. “Our mom has the same best friends she has had since she was little living in Texas. They love hiking together and go to different national parks together each summer,” Barbara said. “They are mom’s chosen sisters.” Jenna elaborated on the superpower element of the book. “All of the girls in the book have powers that are human powers like
they are good at math like Barbara; one is great at design; one is a great dancer. I think we all have these God-given talents,” Jenna said. “They (the characters) each have skills that are human skills, but together, they are super powerful, and they use them to make their neighborhood a better place.”

W.T. White Grad in the Navy Now Taking Care of Advanced Helicopters By Bryan Niegel
Special Contributor SAN DIEGO – U.S. Naval service has taken W.T. White High School graduate Enrique Contereras to California, where the airman finds values learned in Dallas prove as valuable as ever. “My parents always told me to work hard and be trustworthy,” Contereras said. “I strive to be an honorable man with great character.” Contereras graduated high school in 2017 and joined the Navy two years ago. “I joined the Navy as the first in my family to do so,” said Contereras. “I’m the first person in my family to attend college and serve my country, so everyone is extremely proud.” Now an aviation structural mechanic, he serves at the Naval Air Station North Island with a squadron that flies the newest and most technologically-advanced helicopters.
Airman Enrique Contereras, a 2017 W.T. White High School graduate, joined the U.S. Navy two years ago. (PHOTO: COURTESY U.S. NAVY) Contereras serves with the “Battlecats” of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM 73), a San Diego-based squadron that operates the Navy’s next generation of submarine hunter and anti-surface warfare
helicopter, the MH-60R Seahawk. Each aircraft is nearly 65 feet long, may weigh up to 23,500 lbs. (max gross), and can travel over 120 miles per hour for almost 320 miles on a tank of gas. Navy officials describe the MH-60R as the most capable multi-mission helicopter available in the world today. It flies various missions, including hunting and tracking enemy submarines, attacking enemy ships, search and rescue, drug interdiction, delivering supplies, and supporting the Navy’s special operations forces. With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried
through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States are directly linked to a strong and ready Navy. “Being in the Navy is about constantly learning,” Contereras said. “Working on aircraft has pushed me to focus and give my all because what we do is critical to the Navy mission. “We all have to contribute to this country, so I’m just doing my part.”
My parents always told me to work hard and be trustworthy. I strive to be an honorable man with great character. Enrique Contereras

No Kids Allowed Summer is fast approaching, and families all over the country are planning beach getaways with the kiddos. My advice: leave them at home. A recent long weekend in Mexico was supposed to be a romantic getaway to recharge and reignite. My husband was as giddy as a kid on Christmas Eve. At the last minute, without consulting my love machine, I MICHELE VALDEZ invited our youngest and her friend and rationalized that it would be nice for “Our Precious” to get a break because, well, she has a job. Don’t all 23 year olds with fulltime employment of less than a year need an all-expense-paid trip, sipping margaritas at a 5-star resort? I argued that at 23, our former tax deduction and her friend would find plenty to do and not bother or interrupt our love break. They would pose for social media selfies, lay out, and spend their time deep in girl gossip and the second season of Bridgerton. My frustrated but always patient hubby acquiesced. How could I be so wrong? At home, our sassy wage earner advocates for her independence like Che Guevara and guards her privacy like I guard my Chanel Sublimage moisturizer. She rarely shares life’s details in the upper 48, but crossing the border sent her into sugary sweet family land where she was all smiles, laughter, and affection, sans the bad attitude. Our sweet girl and her friend were everywhere we were. They were like an annoying pimple marring the face of our sexy getaway. They wanted to eat together, tan with us, and talk! Their long-term and short-term goals were debated and set. Future weddings, vacations, pandemics, and the prospects of meeting Dak Prescott were hot topics. By the second day, the only one with a bad attitude was my husband. I was in mommy heaven, and he was in the romantic equivalent of Death Valley. Every attempted tryst was shocked into reality with a knock or text about how to get ice or where we were eating next. By the last night, I was desperate to rescue my suppressed spouse’s happiness. So, I made my love a promise. The minute we land back in Texas, I will download an ocean sounds App. And, at home, in our empty nest, we will make our own waves. And just like that, his vacation was saved. Michele Valdez, a slightly compulsive, mildly angry feminist, has-been attorney, and volunteer, has four demanding adult children and a patient husband.

If You Paint It, These Friends Will Critique It
New Preston Hollow Women’s Club interest group offers artists feedback By Emilea McCutchan People Newspapers
The Preston Hollow Women’s Club has added a new monthly special interest group where members provide refreshments and an easel for artwork to be displayed and critiqued. “You’re critiquing the painting and not the person,” said Marie McCoy, who leads the group with Jill Winspear. Both women are knowledgeable artists. “You want to be kind, but the whole point is critique. So, we want to learn something.” The Art Critique group began when McCoy was having trouble finishing a painting. “You know how you finish a painting [and] it’s right, but it’s not quite right,” McCoy said. “Something [was] off, and [Winspear] was giving me some tips.” The experience led McCoy and Winspear to e-mail other club members to garner interest in forming a new group to join a plethora of other opportunities for members to connect. Others include book clubs, gardening, knitting, and wine tasting. Six came to the first Art Critique meeting in September, McCoy said. Artists bring one or two pieces that are finished or need tweaking,

with mediums including oils, watercolors, acrylics, and encaustic.
You want to be kind, but the whole point is critique. So, we want to learn something. Marie McCoy “We always start with what’s working in a piece of art,” said Valerie Boyd, artist and author of
Badass Women. Then, Boyd said members discuss different ways to improve the painting. Some critiques carry over to an artist’s subsequent pieces. Winspear, whose painting style is abstract, recalls a critique from McCoy when she paints. “There’s one thing that [McCoy] often says, that one of her painting instructors [said], and it sticks in the back of my head when I’m painting,” Winspear said. “She says, ‘Make this look different than that.’” Meetings also serve as a creative catalyst.

“[Meetings] give you motivation to take [on] something new every week or two,” Christie Cavitt said. “Because we only meet once a month, and you want to have something to take, it gives you a lot of motivation.” Although they all are amateur painters, many members have years of experience painting, taking classes, and learning from various instructors. Boyd enjoys supporting members’ artistic journey and sharing the “pearls” instructors and others have suggested to improve paintings. She explained, “Everybody [wants] the best for each other’s art.”

What Can Anxiety Look Like?
Try a successful author, Georgetown University business student CHECK IT OUT
‘Conquering Fear: One Teen’s Guide to Overcoming Anxiety’ By Carter Weinstein $10.95 carterweinsteinbook.com/
By Briar Bundy
People Newspapers The National Institute of Mental Health reports approximately 32% of adolescents suffer from anxiety disorder. Greenhill alum Carter Weinstein was one of them, but you probably wouldn’t notice. “There’s not some caricature that someone with anxiety is supposed to look like,” explained Carter. The Georgetown University student has written about the topic and was recognized by People Newspapers in April’s 20 Under 40 section. “I consider myself to be a pro, a well-rounded individual in terms of my interests and what I do, and so when I came out with this book, a lot of people didn’t expect me to have anxiety,” he said.
His book, Conquering Fear: One Teen’s Guide to Overcoming Anxiety, grew out of his struggles and a desire to help others, especially children, who could benefit from learning about a peer’s experiences. “I realized there was a distance between the teens that need to read these books and the psychologists and counselors writing these books,” he said. Carter wrote the book that he would’ve wanted to read as a child and considers this the best advice in it: “You’re not alone in this situation. There are so many successful celebrities and athletes who have come out about their struggles with mental health but continue to succeed in life.” Carter credited his parents with providing a support system.
“My parents helped motivate me to be the best version of myself,” he said. “Had I not exposed myself to that of which made me anxious, I would not have been able to get where I am today.” While writing this book, Carter’s most difficult challenge was putting his words on paper. “When you are actually writing a book, it is certainly more challenging because you’ve got all this that you want to say and all this information that you want to convey to people,” he said. “I’m glad that I that I had the opportunity to work with such great publishers and a great team who were able to guide me after I finished writing the book.” Throughout his book, Carter reiterates, “Your mental health is
just as important as your physical health.” His message to parents and teachers of struggling children is to reduce the stigma of mental health by educating children on how to manage anxiety and assure them that they are not alone. He suggests “tricks” like deep breathing exercises, meditation, visualization, etc., stresses the importance of sleep and physical activity, and identifies the end goal: “If we’re able to create a strong foundation for our kids and able to instill a lot of these symptomatic mitigating tricks at a young age, then I think that we’re going to have a much healthier and more mentally sound group.” Briar Bundy is a senior at Ursuline Academy.

NOT YOUR GRANDMA’S FAUX FLOWERS
Navy Blooms showcases the benefits of the fake-out By Bethany Erickson People Newspapers

f the term “faux flowers” gives you visions of plastic greenery festooned with polyester blooms, Keely Vendig has good news. Her fake arrangements have all the benefits of the real thing and the convenience of being able to shove them in a closet till the next season. “They not only look real; they feel real,” she said. “They’re a little more high-end and thicker, and the colors are more realistic.” The other advantage, she said, is that anyone can look like a goddess of the greenery when your plants are immortal. “I have a black thumb,” she admitted. “The other thing I really love about faux is that you can put them away, and they won’t die. So, if you decorate for Christmas, you can put
them away and then pull them back out again without worrying that they’ll die. “That makes them really great for second homes, too.” Customers also look for realistic faux versions of notoriously finicky plants. “Fiddle Fig trees are a huge seller of mine because everyone loves a Fiddle Fig, but — again, in my black thumb experience here — they’re almost impossible to keep alive,” she said. “They’re so finicky that if you move it — I’ve done this before because of the Christmas tree — the plant gets so mad at you, and then it dies.” How realistic can these arrangements get?
Vendig recalls a story about a woman who received a gift arrangement, and “after six months, she kept watering it until her husband’s like, ‘You realize that’s not real.’ She had no idea.” In addition to creating arrangements for sale, Vendig also does holiday decorating installations for clients and has even sourced and designed outdoor spaces (including trees) for customers that want greenspace year-round. “I’ve done a few outdoor installations — they make them where they’re UV rated for up to five years of protection,” she explained. “For my own yard, I have planters coming because I don’t feel

like messing with it. I don’t want dirt — we have too many dogs.” Vendig started Navy Blooms in a quest for a career that was a little more flexible and family-friendly. “My background, believe it or not, is in wildlife and fishery sciences — I graduated from A&M, and I taught middle school and high school science for 10 years,” she said. “But I’m a creative at heart, and I had two boys in two years, and I was like, ‘I need to go back to work, but I need to have flexibility.’” She began making arrangements for her friends and eventually decided that if she were going to go into business, she’d opt for faux arrangements instead of real flowers because “we live in such a saturated market of florists that it just isn’t the best model for me.”

Doctor with Eye for Aesthetics Opens Posh Practice on Lovers Lane By Diana Oates
Special Contributor Dr. Meredith Abbott invites Dallasites to put their best face forward as she opens the darling doors to her new medical practice on West Lovers Lane. Abbott Aesthetics aims to enhance natural beauty through procedures and products that help you look and feel your best. Priding herself on precision, Abbott received top-notch training. She completed her residency at UT Southwestern, followed by a fellowship in oculofacial plastic surgery at The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in Manhattan. After 10 years in private group practice, she is branching out to offer surgical and non-surgical services in a boutique setting. This ophthalmologist is taking traditional office aesthetics and throwing them out the window. Goodbye to the days of cold, corporate clinics. Abbott is saying hello to this chic and inviting new space, designed by Mia Brous and Kerri Goldfarb of MADRE. “I am an avid lover of interior design, so it was a no-brainer to create a space that was also a place I could happily call my second home,” Abbott said. Surgical services offered include
treating both benign and malignant skin tumors on the eyelids, tearing problems, and the most common, which is the upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Sound familiar? This is the procedure more commonly referred to as an eyelid lift. On the non-surgical side, Abbott, aided by a dual-certified aesthetician/ last technician, executes procedures like BBL photofacials, laser skin resurfacing, SkinPen microneedling, H y d r a Fa c i a l , and injectables. “The mix of services and procedures that I offer has been shaped by patient feedback and requests,” Abbott said. “My mission is to utilize my medical training to deliver a best-in-class patient experience. In many ways, I don’t want to be typical.” Speaking of atypical, the location on Lovers Lane is not exactly a hotbed for medical practices, and that is why she loves it.
Located on a corner lot with full parking in the back, sourcing this space was anything but serendipitous. Abbott specifically sought out the West end of Lovers Lane, which draws a c lientele f rom many neighborhoods, including the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Bluffvie w, and Devonshire. Another Park Cities practice perk is that it is close to where Abbott lives and sends her children to school. The dr iving force behind this dream realized is Abbott’s husband and children. She wanted to live close to work and strive to be there for her family and her patients. “There is really no such thing as perfect balance as one’s situation is always in flux, but I try to give my patients the highest level of care while also being present for my husband and kids,” Abbott said. “That means saying no sometimes and limiting my schedule, but I think this makes me a better doctor.”

MORE BASKETBALL HEROES WANTED
Mavs Academy hoop camps aim to change lives on and off the court By Amber Billops People Newspapers
W
ant to have fun and learn the game of basketball the right way? Try a Mavs Academy hoop camp. “The big part of the game is the fundamental piece, and we have a lot of fun with it by learning and understanding the game,” said Mavs Academy director Ben Hunt during a spring session at the Beckley-Saner Recreation Center in Oak Cliff. Campers enjoy playing three on three and five on five and compete in various contests to win Mavs prizes. During that recent session, boys and girls dribbled two balls at a time and participated in other drills.
The skills, dribbling, passing, and shooting are pretty fun, but at the end of the day, it is the characters of the campers when they are done. Ben Hunt “Ultimately, at the end of the day, for us, (goals include) creating Mavs fans for life, being in the community, giving back as much as we can, and sharing our love for the game,” Hunt said. Opportunities start with one-day camps on the beginner side, going from campers as young as 4 in the Mini-Mavs program to

(PHOTOS: CHRIS MCGATHEY) youth and high school tournaments for the Mavs Full Classic. “Whatever stage of your basketball career you are in, whether you are a beginner just starting out, you like the game, you like watching the Mavs play, and you want to be involved in camps or clinics, we have the opportunity to provide that,” Hunt said. “If you already play, and you want to take your game to the next level, we have skills training and development training in the summer along with the youth and high school tournaments.” Mavs Academy is heading into its 29th summer – its busiest time of the year. “The big thing about Mavs Academy is we take pride in being within 25 minutes from you throughout the course of the summer months,” Hunt said.
The academy holds its 10-weeks in several locations such as Duncanville, Desoto, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Rowlett, and Rockwall. During the summer, campers meet such notable guests as past players, legends, and even current players. “It has been a tradition for decades, and they love it,” Hunt said. “You can tell when the players come out that they want to be a part of giving back to the community. The smiles on their faces show that and tell a thousand words. We love to give our campers the opportunities and the chance to meet their heroes.” Camp lessons prioritize character-building and cover leadership, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
“The skills, dribbling, passing, and shooting are pretty fun, but at the end of the day, it is the characters of the campers when they are done,” Hunt said. “It’s about developing the leaders of today and tomorrow. Attitude is important, and we are extremely proud of that part of our program where we get to make an impact on and off the court.”

Ability Connection Offers New Special Needs Program
Summer camp aims to help children with disabilities keep learned skills sharp
Children with disabilities have a new option this summer with Ability Connection launching its Camp Connections program. The program aims to prevent campers ages 10 and older from losing social and academic skills gained over the school year by providing interaction when there are fewer chances for it during the summer months. Sessions will run with fullday block schedules from June 6 to July 1 and July 5 to July 29 at Cochran Chapel Administration Building and a yet to be announced location. Parents will be able to pick three goals for their children to work on during the camps. Certified special education instructors will focus on strengthening educational, vocational, and social skills. “Ability Connection believes that teenagers in North Texas with disabilities should have the

Summer Is For Stand-Up: Dallas Comedy Club Offers Classes, Camps
What’s the deal with airline food, am I right? I took an Intro to Stand-Up class at Dallas Comedy Club to find out. Just joking (see, I know jokes now!). I did it because we thought it would make a cool story, and as someone obsessed with stand-up comM A D D I E S P E R A edy, I figured, “Why not finally try it?” The class ran for six weeks with a “graduation show” at the end. I had no clue what to expect and was even skeptical about how one could teach stand-up comedy. I saw it as one of those things you must just get out there and do. I still think that’s true to a degree, but the class did help with learning different types of jokes and innovative writing exercises for generating joke ideas.
Once it was time for me to go on, I was nervous, but as soon as I got that first laugh, the jitters went away. Each week we covered one or two types of jokes (there are more than you’d think), then had in-class writing time and time to pitch what we came up with at the end. This was maybe what I found to be the most valuable aspect of the class.

GET IN ON THE JOKES Visit dallascomedyclubtrainingcenter.com for the Dallas Comedy Club’s class calendar and options.
We found a dedicated crowd and sounding board in our classmates and were able to give each other praise, constructive criticism, and whatever else we needed to be the best we could be. Our class was incredibly supportive of one another, and we all had a lot of fun. Some of us have even gone to open mics together since class ended. When it came time for our graduation show, I was amazed at how well-prepared everyone was (shout out to our amazing teacher Nick Cutelli).
Typically, a first-timer’s stand-up set isn’t going to get a lot of laughs, and, to be brutally honest, the jokes aren’t going to be good. However, I found myself thoroughly enjoying every set from backstage (I went on second-to-last), and the audience seemed to as well. Once it was time for me to go on, I was nervous, but as soon as I got that first laugh, the jitters went away. As my set came to an end, I remember being disappointed that it was almost over.
I will forever remember my experience taking this class and all the people I met, and I plan to continue doing stand-up, even if it’s never for anything more than fun. I enjoyed it that much. If stand-up isn’t your cup of tea, Dallas Comedy Club offers way more class options, like storytelling, sketch comedy, improv, and even musical improv! There are also camps for kids and teens. So, whether you’ve always dreamed of getting up on stage or just want to meet new friends, DCC is the place to check out.

NEW TREES MAKE POLK TAG CENTER ONE OF THE ‘COOL SCHOOLS’
Outdoor learning space with labyrinth, easels, instruments coming next By Karen Chaney
Special Contributor
S
chool days at K.B. Polk Center for Academically Talented and Gifted are spent preparing for the future. On a recent spring Thursday, that meant planting 57 trees to bring cooler tomorrows.
Nature might inspire them to create a song using the musical instruments, or a painting with the art easels. Lindsay Hoot The work of the Texas Trees Foundation’s Cool Schools Program and contributions from Amazon will also bring a new outdoor learning space this summer to the campus near Dallas Love Field. Cool Schools education coordina-
tor Lindsay Hoot explained how a Cool School transformation begins with a certified urban forester touring the campus and taking an inventory of the trees. “This allows us to measure the current tree canopy coverage and provides insight into how many trees we will need to plant to raise the coverage to at least 30%,” Hoot said. Foundation staff also works with campus leaders to decide the best location for an educational arboretum and areas in need of shade, such as near a playground or sidewalks. Polk TAG Center’s Green Team of teachers and staff selected art easels, musical instruments, a labyrinth, and a grassy berm to include in the outdoor learning space. “With these new additions, students will have opportunities to interact with the environment while learning about it,” Hoot said. “Nature might inspire them to create a song using the musical instruments, or a painting with the art easels.” Hoot added that the outdoor learning area would also provide teachers with
a space to take students to reflect and self-regulate from any challenges they might face at home or school. “As a school, we have long considered this opportunity and wanted to include this feature to our campus for some time now,” Principal Kourtnei Jackson said. “Through our research, we took the opportunity to visit campuses already participating in the program to learn of their experiences. We fell in love with what we saw and sincerely believed in what this could mean for Polk.” The Cool Schools Program supplies teachers with resources to educate students about urban forestry and environmental stewardship. “Fun and engaging activities specific to the trees and outdoor learning amenities on their campus connect students to nature, allowing them to learn about urban forestry and the impact trees have on their community,” Hoot said. The Cool Schools Program is made possible through the support of Dallas ISD and the City of Dallas. “We are grateful for the partnership we
have with the City of Dallas, who works closely with the Texas Trees Foundation to provide the trees we plant through the mitigation fund,” Hoot said. “In addition to supporting our efforts to plant on their land, we appreciate our partnership with Dallas ISD, who helps us promote environmental experiences and educational opportunities for teachers and students.” Jackson said the Polk community would benefit from this initiative because the space will be elaborate, detailed, and robust. Educators are looking forward to students walking the labyrinth trail and enjoying the SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) experiences, the principal said. “The goal for our outdoor spaces is to be a place of peace, serenity, and pride.” ID E NTIF Y TH O SE TRE E S The 57 new 30-gallon trees planted around the Polk TAG Center campus represent 18 species, including Eastern redbud, Mexican plum, Carolina cherry laurel, American elm, Cedar elm, and Chinquapin oak.

Greenhill School Launches $71M Growing Stronger Campaign
STEM, innovation center will foster design, entrepreneurial, collaborative skills By Samantha Ponce Special Contributor
The Greenhill School has launched a $71 million fundraising campaign and broken ground on a new STEM and Innovation center. Over the next five years, the Growing Stronger Together campaign will address several needs on campus, including athletic enhancements and endowment funding. The 52,000-square-foot Valdes STEM + Innovation Center, designed by architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ), will make room for a modest increase in grades five through 12 while bringing several disciplines into the same building for the first time. It is expected to open in the fall of 2023. The building, going up on the site of the former Agnich Science Building, will include an innovation corridor with collaboration space, a production studio, and fabrication lab, computer science flex pods, and robotics labs, plus fully flexible math and science classrooms, a central commons and coffee shop, and community gathering spaces. “It’s an incredible opportunity for our students to learn how to be better designers, to learn innovative mindsets, to develop entrepreneurship skills, to practice that in real-world settings,” said Lee Hark, The David and Rochelle Fredston Head of School.
“We’re really excited about the kind of learning that’s going to catalyze on our campus.” Part of Greenhill’s mission is college preparation. The new facility and programs are a large part of students becoming exposed to and comfortable in college training, mindsets, and facility settings. Programs like the innovation design and entrepreneurship programs will give students the skill set they need to thrive in their endeavors after their time at Greenhill. “This program is meant to help the kids to be prepared for the
jobs of the future – the jobs that we don’t know exist yet,” said Kendra Grace, associate head of school. The school is well on its way toward raising the funds needed so the campus can meet the needs of the students not only through academics and the arts but through athletic enhancements as well, she said. Donors have given nearly $45 million to date. Added Hark, “Our board took a courageous step to move forward, even in the middle of COVID, to launch this campaign.”
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ) designed the new Valdes STEM + Innovation Center with a sense of transparency so that learning would be on display. An interior courtyard will allow natural light to filter through floors and interior spaces; Head of School Lee Hark tells guests at a ground-breaking ceremony that he expects new facilities to help students become innovators, entrepreneurs, collaborators, and problem solvers.

Alcuin School Student Shines at South by Southwest
Filmmaker Stanley Turner, a junior, screens ‘Story Time’ at iconic Austin festival By Daniel Lalley
S C R E E N S TA N L E Y ’ S PA S T WO R K
Special Contributor Austin’s iconic South by Southwest (SXSW) festival has long been an international draw for the most creative minds in music, film, interactive media, tech, and beyond.
I’ve always felt like a creative but there’s never been a place that allowed me to grow in that creativity as much as Alcuin. Stanley Turner The annual exhibition of up-andcoming artists and out-of-the-box intellectuals has championed entertainers like Ben Harper, Johnny Cash, and Iggy Pop while showcasing such films as A Quiet Place, Baby Driver, and 21 Jump Street. This year, an Alcuin School filmmaker added his contribution. Stanley Turner, a junior, was among a select number of high school filmmakers to debut his

And while Turner’s films have appeared at festivals such as the Dallas International Film Festival, the Pegasus Film Festival, and the All-American High School Film Festival, this one helped him understand everything that goes into producing a compelling product. Kicking off this project among the chaos of COVID made the

learning curve that much steeper. “I wrote this film back in September of 2020 and could tell then that it was going to be my best project yet,” said Turner. “But September of 2020 was not a good time to make films. I had to schedule things out and really get into the mindset of a producer. It forced me to buckle down, whereas before, I would just write, direct, and edit. This was much more complicated.” Turner’s love of craft and logistical experience drove him through

the hurdles. He’s been making movies since before he was even eligible to participate in the film program at Alcuin School. Beginning in the eighth grade, he’d borrow cameras from Alcuin film instructor Tamitha Curiel. “As an eighth-grader, she’d allow me to take cameras home over the weekend to create my films; then, over time, I started getting better and better at it,” Turner said. “Then eventually, I had films that were ready to go to festivals. You know,

I’ve always felt like a creative, but there’s never been a place that allowed me to grow in that creativity as much as Alcuin.” Though he knew his chances of a SXSW screening were slim, he was more concerned with the quality of picture he’d produced as the real payoff. “Alcuin has submitted for the last couple of years with no luck,” said Turner. “I knew it was my favorite project to date, and that was enough for me. But when I heard that Story Time was one of 22 films accepted out of 4,200 submitted, there was really something special about that.” Turner is far from finished. Next year, he’ll continue in the film program with Mrs. Curiel and then plans to pursue film school after graduation. Grab your popcorn, Preston Hollow.

Student Achievements: From Mock Court to Carnegie Hall 1. Art of the trial
Preston Hollow’s Abby Chapman ranks in the top 10 among outstanding high school mock trial attorneys at the state and national levels. Judges didn’t provide an order for the top 10. The Booker T High School for the Performing and Visual Arts senior, along with Zoë Gameros, co-captained their campus team to a first-place finish in Dallas ISD, a repeat state championship, and fifth place at nationals. It helps when your team’s three witnesses are outstanding actors, and Dallas attorney Abby Mathews is your team advisor. SEATED, FROM LEFT: Chapman and Gameros.

The Ryan Foundation, awarded $40,000 in collegiate scholarships to 10 college-bound women from Dallas ISD campuses, including Emmett J. Conrad and South Oak Cliff high schools. For the oratory competition, students responded to a prompt about professional tennis player Naomi Osaka’s decision to prioritize her mental health and leave the French Open. The students discussed challenges and choices they had faced and how receiving a scholarship would help them achieve their dreams.
3. Research scholarship St. Mark’s School of Texas senior Spencer Burke, a frequent subject of this column for his Boy Scouting accomplishments and ecological work on behalf of bees and quail, has won a $1,500 Student Research Foundation College Scholarship.

SENIOR LEADER STABILIZES PANTHERS IN FOOTBALL, BASEBALL Intangibles propel Sido to success as quarterback, pitcher for Hillcrest By Todd Jorgenson People Newspapers
C
arter Sido has had a lot on his shoulders compared to the average high school senior, even the average twosport athlete. On the football field, the Hillcrest quarterback was asked to lead the attack of a team that lost most of its offensive production with the graduation of record-setting runner Nasir Reynolds. In baseball, Sido had to follow in the footsteps of Texas A&M signee Ryan Prager as the team’s ace pitcher. Neither sport dropped off, in large part due to Sido’s leadership. The Panthers returned to the playoffs in both sports despite questions entering the season. “We had a big void, and he filled that. More than anything, he won the locker room,” said Hillcrest football coach Jacob Ramon. “We knew that he was going extend a lot of plays and make a lot of plays with his feet. He made things happen. Carter just seemed to find a way.” Sido’s numbers as Hillcrest’s starting quarterback skyrocketed as a senior. He led the Panthers in rushing and passing, accounting for more than 2,300 all-purpose yards and 33 touchdowns. “This year, I came in a lot more confident,” Sido said. “The coaches were looking
Whether on the pitcher’s mound or in the backfield, Carter Sido (No. 1) usually has the ball in his hands. (PHOTOS: CHRIS MCGATHEY) for somebody to take control of the offense. They had a lot of trust in me.” Sido played second base for much of last baseball season but knew he would pitch more innings this spring. So, he increased his velocity and improved his command with both his fastball and slide, resulting in multiple no-hitters this season to accompany his power bat. “He was asked to have a limited role on the mound last year. This season, with the
amount of time he had to prepare, he surpassed what my expectations were for him,” said Hillcrest baseball coach Ashley Moore. “He’s absorbed a lot of innings.” Sido credits longtime teammates such as wide receiver Shannon Cruse and catcher Matthew Gann for enabling him to thrive. “There’s a lot of loyalty and trust between us,” Sido said. “I pride myself on leading through example. That’s what I’ve tried to do.”
Carter just seemed to find a way. Jacob Ramon
In the fall, Sido will attend Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, where he was recruited for football yet hopes to continue playing both sports. Meanwhile, Ramon hopes Sido’s influence — from his upbeat attitude to his fierce competitiveness — will carry over after he graduates. “We’re going to miss his productivity. He’s sacrificed and done everything for these players,” Ramon said. “Win, lose, or draw, he made it a better day. That’s a big part of why we were successful.”

Hockaday didn’t lose to a lacrosse team from Texas all season, which makes it fitting that the Daisies took home two championship trophies at the end of the season. The big prize came on May 8, when Hockaday claimed its second straight Texas Girls High School Lacrosse League title with a 20-8 victory over Austin Westlake behind a nine-goal outburst from Minje Kwun.

FASHIONABLE FÊTE PAYS HOMAGE TO 1962 ART BALL (PHOTOS: BFA AND BRUNO IMAGERY)
Art Ball LX, a glamour-filled black-tie evening benefiting the Dallas Museum of Art on April 9, offered glorious nods to the past during a celebration themed “TABLEAUX: 60 Years of Art Ball (1962–2022).” About 350 guests upon arrival met models dressed in couture looks from Moschino by Jeremy Scott posing with a ‘60s-vintage Cadillac, courtesy of Sewell Automotive. “Tableauxs” with models styled in Irving Penn-inspired settings set the tone as living art pieces, as patrons mingled between the exhibition “Slip Zone: A New Look at Postwar Abstraction in the Americas and East Asia” in the Barrel Vault of the Museum, the Hoffman Wing, and the concourse. This year, Brian Bolke became the first man to serve as sole Art Ball chairman since Larry Hart filled the role in 1962. That year, guests enjoyed a “potluck” provided by Dallas’ best hostesses and could donate $25 to create “living artworks” displayed in the galleries, with the creators costumed and part of them.

AWARE Affair 2022 Goes ‘Soaring to New Heights’ to Fight Alzheimer’s (PHOTOS: DANNY CAMPBELL, AND ROB WYTHE/WYTHE PORTRAIT STUDIO)
With “Soaring to New Heights Fighting Alzheimer’s” as the theme, ticketholders headed to Dallas Love Field for AWARE Affair 2022 on April 8 at the Star Skyline Hangar at the Braniff Centre. Early arrivals enjoyed expansive views of runways and downtown Dallas in the upstairs lounge. But first, those entering the VIP reception posed with a local NFL team’s logo and a display of vintage Braniff flight attendant uniforms. The uniforms came from the collection of Deborah Brown, who also wore one by designer Emilio Pucci. The main action took off downstairs, where guests glided past a purple (symbolizing Alzheimer’s) Bentley to embark on a fun evening. White satin draping divided the hangar, turned grand hall, into a reception area with a silent auction, sizeable circular bar, and the 360 Five Photo Booth, and a space for dinner and dancing. Jerry Jones’ private jet was nowhere in sight. The Founder’s Spirit Award went to Myrna D. Schlegel and the Amy Osler Spirit of Education Leadership Award to Dr. Cindy Marshall. Biddie and Lee Roy Jordan served as honorary chairs, and Mari Epperson and Sharon Ballew as gala chairs. – Compiled by William Taylor

6-STEP CHECKLIST FOR MAKING YOUR NEXT OUTDOOR PARTY A SUCCESS An outdoor party takes a little more planning than an indoor one. Here are some of my tips for ensuring everyone has a great time at your next barbecue, cocktail hour, or pool party.
1. Seating: Once you’ve figured out how many guests you’ll be having, you can determine your seating arrangements. Will your guests be seated at a long table? Or will you create a variety of seating arrangements for individual conversation groups? If there will be children present, do you want a kids’ table? You may want to rent additional tables, tablecloths, linens, and chairs. In the past, I’ve ordered bamboo tables that seat four people and pushed them together to seat six. MARGARET CHAMBERS
2. Table Settings: I recommend decorative melamine plates because they are shatterproof and dishwasher safe. With melamine, you can hardly tell that it’s not real porcelain. Acrylic stemware is a sturdy alternative to glassware — after all, you don’t want glass near the pool. 3. Food: It’s imperative that the food you serve won’t melt or wilt in the heat. Some triedand-true choices for outdoor parties include nuts, crudités, hummus dips, puff pastries, charcuterie boards, and dried fruit.
LEFT: Mixing iron furniture and faux bois furniture in this outdoor seating area creates a more interesting look. (PHOTO: NATHAN SCHRODER. DESIGNS: MARGARET CHAMBERS); RIGHT: It worked out better here to have two small tables with umbrellas instead of one large table. We used same fabrics for both seating arrangements. (PHOTO: MICHAEL HUNTER. DESIGNS: MARGARET CHAMBERS).
4. Drinks: Self-service drink areas encourage guests to circulate the space and possibly cross paths with someone new to talk to. Stock your drink station with glasses, cups, straws, lemons and limes, club soda, and a cocktail shaker. Also, consider including your own cocktail mix or punch (serve ice separately so that you don’t water down the mixture). 5. Games: Food and drinks are not the only ingre-
dients for a successful outdoor party: Don’t forget to include games so that your guests never get bored. Good outdoor party games include horseshoes, croquet, giant Jenga, and badminton.
6. Weather: Here in Dallas, the window of opportunity for perfect weather is small. If chill is a concern, provide throw blankets, outdoor heaters, or a fire pit to keep guests warm. During the hot summer, guests will appreciate access to
cold nonalcoholic drinks, misters, plenty of ice, fans, and shade. Even if you’ve never entertained outdoors before, you can plan with confidence if you keep these tips in mind.

Gather Round, And Get Fired Up For Grilling Season True grill masters work their culinary magic year-round over charcoal or wood fire grills and smokers. For the rest of us, grilling season gets underway with the arrival of Father’s Day. Whether it’s burgers and hot dogs or CHRISTY ROST steaks, chops, or kabobs, cooking over a grill offers much more than flavor. Grilling is equal parts cooking, socializing, and entertainment. That’s the reason folks gather around whenever someone fires up the grill. It’s a veritable symphony where sizzling meat or fish take center stage, accompanied by the sound of spits as melting fat drips onto hot coals. As with any symphony, all eyes are on the conductor – in this case, the grill master, who deftly coaxes the best flavors, textures, and colors from the ingredients with every flip, turn, or repositioning. Add chilled beverages and tasty apps, and standing around the grill takes on the excitement of culinary
GRILLED RIBEYE STEAK WITH CHARRED PEPPERS, ONION, AND BOK CHOY

theater. When it comes to grilled meats, a thick ribeye steak cooked to perfection is hard to beat. Well-marbled with flecks of fat throughout and a simple seasoning of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, the flamekissed flavor imparted by charcoal, wood, or even a gas fire ensures every bite is sublime. But why stop there? Grilling heightens the flavor and mouthwatering appearance of vegetables, too. For this grilled ribeye steak with charred peppers, onion, and bok choy, I lightly brushed olive oil over yellow and red sweet peppers, red onion, and baby bok choy, grilled them over a hot flame until charred, then brushed on
Asian sweet chili sauce during the final minute of cooking. While grilling a complete meal of steak and vegetables, I used leftover space to blacken poblano peppers for chicken enchiladas I plan to prepare later in the week. Other times, I’ve used excess space to grill chicken legs and thighs for another meal. This double-duty grilling saves cooking time and fuel, and there’s nothing like knowing another savory meal awaits in the fridge for the next day. Cookbook author and PBS chef Christy Rost is a longtime resident of the Park Cities and Preston Hollow. Find her ‘Celebrating Home’ 4-minute cooking videos at youtube.com/ChristyRostCooks and christyrost.com.
Ingredients: 1 ¾ pounds boneless ribeye steak, 1 ½ inch thickness Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Smoked sea salt flakes for garnish 2 yellow sweet peppers, rinsed 1 red sweet pepper, rinsed 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 6 wedges 3 baby bok choy, rinsed and cut in half lengthwise 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce Directions: Season the meat generously with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper and set it aside. Slice the yellow and red peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice each half into three wedges. Brush the peppers, onion wedges, and
bok choy halves lightly on each side with olive oil and set them aside. Preheat the grill. When it is hot, transfer the meat and vegetables to the grill. Cook the meat 4 minutes, then turn it over and cook 4 minutes more. Turn the meat over once more, rotate it one-quarter turn to create crosshatch grill marks, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 130 degrees. Transfer the meat to a large platter, garnish it with smoked sea salt flakes, and set it aside to keep warm. Meanwhile, cook the vegetables until they are crisp-tender and begin to char, flipping them over once. Just before removing them from the grill, brush with sweet chili sauce. Cook 1 minute more, then remove them from the grill and arrange them on the platter next to the meat. Yield: 4 servings

Common unknown reasons why people fall or have balance problems. It’s never because of age...there’s always A REASON! Now what to do about it? By Leading Balance Expert, Dr. Jeffrey Guild, Physical Therapist Are you worried about losing independence because of falls? Are you seeing your friends around you falling and losing their independence? Are you becoming frustrated with your doctors and kids telling you not to fall (without telling you HOW). Here are some common unknown reasons why people fall, and a SOLUTION to prevent it from happening. 1: Vertigo/Inner Ear Balance Problems: Vertigo and dizziness are symptoms of problems that put older people at risk of falling. These symptoms are very common. In fact, one-third of people over the age of 70, and one-half of people over the age of 85 are experiencing dizziness and/or vertigo right now! The good news is that now that you know to look for them, these conditions are usually very treatable! 2. The Legs Not Knowing Where They Are (Proprioceptive Loss): As a balance specialist I see this problem ALL THE TIME. Although this problem is very common, most people don’t realize they have it at all. I often see this when people are falling or having balance problems for what seems like NO APPARENT REASON. It’s simple to find out whether or not you face this problem, and there are many ways around it if you do. 3. Walking Slowly & Furniture Walking: Some people think walking slowly and carefully reduces the risk of falling. This is NOT the case. Like riding a bicycle, slowing down greatly increases the risk of falling, and is a dangerous
thing to do for somebody with balance problems. Touching furniture and walls while walking is a sign that something is wrong and immediate action is needed to prevent this from becoming a fall!

Hannah Dvorocsik, now 5, has been a patient at Children’s Health since before she was born. After prenatal tests indicated brain malformations, her mother, Melissa, was referred to Children’s Fetal Center. Since then, Hannah has navigated health issues, including a cleft palate, chronic ear infections, and more, but now attends the Rise School, is learning to speak and write, and has started her first cheerleading class. “We were able to meet with (the team at Children’s Fetal Center) and ask lots of questions and go back to them with more and more of our questions,” Melissa Dvorocsik said. “Everything was very overwhelming, but it was really great just to know that we had those resources and that team behind us to help us navigate this new, to us, unknown world.” More recently, Hannah had her cleft palate repaired in the summer of 2021, and Melissa felt prepared by the team at Children’s when Hannah experienced seizures this past fall. “It was extremely scary, but we were able to go to Children’s, and there was definitely much more calm and peace knowing that we were there with doctors who were able to take care of her,” she said. “She had her fifth birthday, and she’s a happy, bubbly little girl. She’s sometimes shy, but oftentimes not and loves to
talk up a storm.” Melissa said Hannah’s also enjoying the Rise School and cheerleading. “Cheerleading is kind of the first activity outside of school that Hannah’s gotten involved in, and she loves it,” Melissa said. “It’s helping her develop some new friends outside of school and keeping her engaged and, truly, it’s something that helps her with a lot of her motor skills that she has difficulty with.” This year, the Dvorocsik family was the honorary patient family for the 54th-annual Family Night at Six Flags benefiting Children’s Health hosted by the Women’s Auxiliary to Children’s Medical Center. The Women’s Auxiliary has raised more than $24 million to support Children’s Health programs and services. “We thought that it might be interesting for people to hear a family talk about their journey and experiences of Children’s Health that went beyond just one visit and instead involve care over a period of many years and, in Hannah’s case, for her entire life,” said Children’s Health Foundation president Brent Christopher. “Sometimes it’s hard for families to talk about the experiences that they have been through, and we know that’s asking a lot for them to come and do that, but by the same token, they’re so gracious and full of gratitude for the care they’ve received from the nurses and the doctors and all the staff around them, and they wanted to come as a way of saying thank you.”

Enjoy expansive views, explore these fresh finds on your next San Antonio trek By Diana Oates
Special Contributor The Dallas to San Antonio trip is nothing new. Whether visiting family or in town for work, sometimes it seems we could do the trip in our sleep. Drive, margaritas, The Alamo, River Walk, and repeat. Here’s a refreshed look at Mission City that will have you feeling like you’re there for the first time. Stay: While Hotel Emma sits on her throne as the queen of luxurious lodging, the new Thompson San Antonio-Riverwalk is empowering high end travelers with options since opening in 2021. Spring for a one-bedroom king suite with panoramic views and a separate living area. Don’t check out without catching an epic sunset while sipping a craft cocktail at the Moon’s Daughter. Wine: Speaking of drinks, nothing pairs with an ice-cold glass of rosé like an East Coast oyster. At Little Em’s Oyster Bar, you’ll enjoy both after picking your jaw off of the floor from admiring the property’s adorable aesthetic. Think pink, white, open, and airy accompanied by lobster rolls, fries, and blue skies via the patio. Dine: San Antonio sans TexMex? Sounds sinful, however, the
San Antonio sans Tex-Mex? Sounds sinful, however, the latest and greatest restaurants are proving that more than chips and queso can thrive there.
Catch epic sunsets while sipping a craft cocktail at the Moon’s Daughter, dine at places like Allora and Little Em’s Oyster Bar, and wrap up your trip with relaxation at the Loma de Vida Spa and Wellness Center. (COURTESY PHOTOS) latest and greatest restaurants are proving that more than chips and queso can thrive there. For example, Allora, the upscale Italian restaurant recently opened at the Pearl. The dinner menu from chef Robbie Nowlin features antipasti, seafood crudi, pasta, and entrees like grilled swordfish and rabbit.
Lovers of botanic beauty rejoice in Jardin’s opening which allows for luxurious laps around San Antonio’s signature garden followed by a meal rooted in Mediterranean flavors. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, al fresco dining peaks when the birds are chirping and the San Antonio Botanical Garden’s
38-acres are in bloom. Weather not cooperating? The restaurant housed in the historic Daniel J. Sullivan Carriage House, originally constructed in 1896, has a warm and cozy feel perfect for catching up with a friend. Do: See a show. There’s no better place to do that then the Tobin
Center for the Performing Arts. Whether it’s comedy or dance performance, a family friendly affair, or a good ole’ fashioned concert, this venue provides guests with a performance hall, studio theater, and outdoor performance plaza. Upcoming shows include everything from Zac Brown Band to Tracy Morgan. Those that feel no trip is complete without a little retail therapy might consider an appointment to pop into Cultus Artem to select a new, clean signature scent. Another San Antonio signature shopping move would be to stop in Dos Carolinas for a custom or ready to wear guayabera. Need to grab a glimpse of the true Texas Hill Country before you head back to Dallas? Make the trip out to the Loma de Vida Spa and Wellness Center for what gets my vote as the most tranquil spa situation in the city, if not the state. Leave time to float in the infinity pool and feel the stress of the day lift. You’ll undoubtedly leave feeling lighter.

Dallas, TX— Homeowners who are buying, selling, or renovating a residence, often visualize how living spaces, both outside and inside a home, will be used for different occasions. They may imagine a quiet moonlit night on a patio or deck, or a more festive backdrop for gatherings and celebrations. Either way, creating the right lighting can change a home’s mood with the flip of a switch. Adding customized mood lighting in and outside of residences is becoming more desirable, especially by younger homeowners, according to Richard Lentz, owner of Lentz Landscape Lighting. “Many people want controlled lighting by phone, but it can be expensive and unpredictable.” says Lentz. “We usually recommend you have a strategizing meeting first to determine what you hope to accomplish; then design a custom lighting plan accordingly. We find most residents choose to have a nightly look, but when they entertain outdoors, they bring it up a level.” he added “At Lentz, we design plans homeowners can control, zone by zone, room by room or with a central panel set up; creating lighting “scenes” as simple or as intricate as they want. “, said Richard. To find out more information about customized exterior and interior lighting, contact Lentz Landscape Lighting @ 972-241-0622 or go to their website www. lentzlighting.com.
This stately custom-built one level home with high ceilings lives expansively on a 280-ft wide lot in the prestigious Mayflower Estates neighborhood of Old Preston Hollow. No expense was spared during the multi-year construction of 10001 Gaywood from the pier and beam foundation to the quartersawn oak floors replicated to match the Palace of Versailles. Once inside, one is immediately greeted by a commanding great room with soaring ceilings that measures 31 x 24 ft and is anchored by a marble fireplace. Adjacent to the great room is a large wet bar lounge area, a 19 x 17 ft dining room and handsome study. The kitchen opens to a circular breakfast area that overlooks the rear grounds and pool. The incredible 26 x 18 ft primary suite features dual bathrooms and large walk-in closets. Three more generously proportioned en-suite bedrooms all have walk-in closets. A second living area has an attached full bath, so it could function as a fifth bedroom or game room. Parking is plentiful with an oversized 3-car garage, large parking area and circle drive. This is an exceptional opportunity to add one’s desired cosmetic finishes to a rare onelevel floor plan with high ceilings and wonderfully proportioned spaces in one of Dallas’ finest neighborhoods.
