District 2 School Board Battle Not Over Yet COMMUNITY

KIRKPATRICK FACES MARSHALL IN JUNE 10 RUNOFF

St. Mark’s grad, screenwriter scores fairy tale success 14

By Joshua Baethge

The battle for Dallas ISD Board of Trustee District 2 continues after none of the candidates received a majority in the general election.

Challenger Lori Kirkpatrick topped incumbent Dustin Marshall by 291 votes in the May 6 contest, according to final but unoffical results. Charter schoolteacher Richard D. Young finished a distant third with 335 votes.

However, his 3 percent showing was enough to prevent Kirkpatrick from winning outright. She finished with 49.79 percent of the vote and will now square off against Marshall in a runoff.

“I could feel that we were picking up momentum,” Kirkpatrick said. “People I met at the door were excited, and more people were signing up to volunteer.”

This is familiar territory for Marshall, who won a runoff in last year’s special election by 42 votes.

“We’ve been down this road before,” he said. “This election had a city council race at the same time, and that changed a lot of the voter dynamics. We won’t have the same dynamic in the runoff, and I expect it to be more similar to last year.”

“HIS RATIONALE IS TO GIVE THE A-F SYSTEM A CHANCE, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT A-F IS A PRETEXT TO VOUCHERS.”

One of the most contentious issues in the election has been the state’s new A-F school evaluation system. Supporters of the plan say it will be a more effective way to evaluate schools while critics argue that it is the first step towards school vouchers, which they say would siphon money away from

CONTENTS FROM THE EDITOR

To The Class of 2017 Graduation season is here again. All you eager young students are being unleashed from the classrooms, ready to take on the world.

Of course some of you may be a little nervous about the unknown future that is staring you in the face. A blank page can be scary, but that fear will soon pass.

Hats off to all of you parents out there.

You managed to do something right if your kids are crossing the stage. I’m sure some of you can’t wait to get them out of the house, while others are already experiencing separation anxiety. I suspect many of you may be feeling a little of both.

The thing about graduation, like many of life’s overblown celebrations, is that the event itself never matches the hype.

The ceremony is a blur, the day flies by, and the sun comes up again. Attention soon turns to the next goals in life.

I wish I had some sage advice to offer you graduates, but I can’t think of anything you haven’t heard before. See the world. Live your dreams. Follow your hearts. Blah blah blah. (Though you really should think about doing those things.)

Truth be told, the last thing you want to hear is advice from anyone else. This is a time for celebration, so enjoy your moment. Congratulations and best of luck to you all.

High school probably won’t be the best days of your life, but hopefully it will evoke fond memories when you are far enough away to look back. Cheers to the class of 2017.

COLLECTING 39 YEARS OF ANIMAL TALES

Dallas Zoo will lose longtime tour guide, stray rescuer June 30 C O U R T E SY B E T H M AY F I E L D

From feeding giraffes to meeting the likes of Betty White and Chuck Norris, longtime employee Beth Mayfield enjoys serving people and animals at the Dallas Zoo.

By Annie Wiles

Special Contributor No one knows when they make the decision to abandon a pet at the gates of the Dallas Zoo what is going to happen to the animal. And it’s not unusual for zoo employees to find strays on their hands.

A disproportionate number of those animals end up in University Park. Beth Mayfield, who has worked at the Dallas Zoo for 39 years and is retiring at the end of June, just can’t say no when it comes to saving animals.

“When I went to do volunteer work I thought ‘I can’t go to the shelter, ‘cause I’ll take them all home,’ not knowing people drop animals off at the zoo,” Beth said.

Her son Danny, who grew up going to Highland Park schools, was used to finding himself covered in animal hair. On one occasion, Beth said he ruined an enormous Honey Guide costume slipping in one of the furry friends’ vomit.

Danny grew up with five to seven dogs and as many cats, and sometimes the odd bird, roaming around the house.

“She would bring home animals, we would have snakes, birds, I couldn’t even name them all,” Danny said.

Beth adopted enough animals that she was once called

away from a tour over the zoo’s loudspeaker because someone had dropped off a Pyrenees (now 6 years old and named Jackson). Everyone knew she was the person to tell.

“Two of my cats were born in the gorilla building,” Beth said. “At one time I thought I had more animals than the zoo had.”

the zoo’s special events coordinator. Guiding public and private tours, donor parties, and school groups are all part of her job duties. On a recent Friday, she led a total of 5,000 young students.

“She takes care of us whenever we bring a group out,” said Beverly Sermersheim, a zoo frequenter who has known

“ TO H E A R T H AT IN 3 5 Y E AR S CH E ETA H S C O U L D B E E X T IN CT, O R G O RI LL A S — I J U ST CAN ’ T IMAG IN E A WO RLD T H AT D O E S N ’ T H AV E TH O S E A N IMALS . ” B ET H MAY F I E LD Having so many animals makes it impossible to keep a house clean all the time, Danny said. “It pretty much scarred me. It probably caused my OCD about being clean,” he said. “I won’t let hair in my house, I’m really weird.”

Beth started out as a zoo volunteer in 1978. “I did leave, because I had to get a real job.

And then I hated it and I got back to the zoo,” she said. “The only thing I ever really liked was being at the zoo.”

After that, she was hired as

Beth for 25 years. “She’s really really great with the kids, and she’s so patient … She finds out that we’re gonna be coming and she takes over. And I’m sure she treats everyone like that who comes.”

Surpisingly, Danny doesn’t share his mother’s animal fanaticism. “I do have two cats, which drive me crazy,” he said.

Still, his memories are fond.

He remembers his mom bringing animals to his school, Hyer Elementary. “We thought that was pretty cool,” he said.“We

always got to go behind the scenes and see the animals in a different light.

“I like it when the school kids are here,” Beth said. “Probably the most important thing [the zoo does] is the education part and the conservation part — saving animals from extinction.”

The zoo mainly acquires animals from other zoos, but it also takes animals from sanctuaries. The elephants, for instance, came from a refuge in drought-striken Swaziland. Zoo admission proceeds benefit various conservation groups.

In the nearly 40 years Beth has worked there, the zoo has gone from public to private, added gorillas, and opened a savannah.

“People always ask me what’s my favorite animal, and I say, ‘Well, it’s the one I’m standing in front of at the time.’ ” She did admit she has a soft spot for the black rhinos, though.

A highlight for Beth was when a board member took her to Kenya to see the animals she loves in the wild.

“And then we built our savannah,” Beth said, “and it looks exactly like Africa … to hear that in 35 years cheetahs could be extinct, or gorillas — I just can’t imagine a world that doesn’t have those animals.”

Although zoo-goers will find plenty new to entertain them this summer, including the new hippos and a baby giraffe on its way, many will notice Beth’s absence.

“She’s worked her ass off,” Danny said. “There’s nights she’ll work a party and she’s there till 2 in the morning and then she’s back there at 8 o’clock. She’s put in hard work.”

“We’re gonna be missing her for sure,” Sermersheim said.

“She’s gonna be hard to replace.”

As for Beth, she said, “I’m not doing anything for six months. I may not leave this house for six months.” But she’ll be kept busy with her mother, who is 92 and still living in University Park, and her grandchildren, now 10 and 15.

While the animal-loving gene may have skipped a generation, Danny says her granddaughter makes up for it. “My daughter wants every animal in the world.”

Dallas Zoo vice president of advancement Lacey LaPointe said Mayfield has been the “heart and soul’ of the zoo for decades.

“Her infectious laugh and giving spirit have been mainstays that will be sorely missed,” LaPointe said. “She always will be part of the fabric that makes the Dallas Zoo great.”

NEWS CONTINUED FROM 1 public education to private schools.

In January, Dallas joined more that 60 other North Texas school districts in passing a formal resolution that called for state legislature to scrap A-F. Marshall was one of two trustees who opposed the measure.

“When you are sitting on a public school board and have the opportunity to vote against vouchers and don’t, that’s just unacceptable,” Kirkpatrick said. “His rational is to give the A-F system a chance, but we all know that A-F is a pretext to vouchers.

Why are you supporting something that has a negative impact on public education, and particularly the impoverished?”

Instead of A-F, Kirkpatrick supports improving DISD’s existing evaluation system.

She said she would focus on finding ways to better define the parts of the process that are confusing in order to formulate a more effective and easier to understand system.

Marshall said that Kirkpatrick’s accusations against him are “patently false.”

“She knows full well that I don’t support vouchers. She’s been in the same room with me when I’ve said that a thousand times.”

Marshall categorizes the current school evaluation system as “deeply flawed,” with many underperforming schools not being held fully accountable.

“We need to fully examine the A-F plan,” Marshall said. “It’s still a work in progress, so I won’t reject it before we

Marshall joined the board last summer after winning a runoff to fill an open seat. know what it looks like.”

Another major issue that Kirkpatrick and Marshall have sparred over is the controversial Teacher Excellence Initiative (TEI). Under that system, teacher pay is determined based on a combination of in-class evaluations, student test scores, and student surveys. Supporters say it rewards those who perform best, while opponents argue that it’s not fair to teachers because they are held accountable for factors out of their control. There is also concern that TEI

puts DISD at a disadvantage when competing with other districts for talented teachers.

“I think the teacher evaluation situation is disastrous,” Kirkpatrick said.

“It creates sameness, mandates teachers teach to the metrics of TEI, including STARR testing, and stifles a teacher’s ability to cultivate and nurture a love of learning in a child.”

According to Kirkpatrick, teachers are happy to be evaluated and held accountable. However, she contends that TEI

uses metrics that were never designed to evaluate teachers. She advocates a system that encourages children to think critically as opposed to one that puts a large emphasis on standardized tests.

Marshall sees the issue differently, and contends the teachers most opposed to the system are the ones who do not want to be held accountable. He sites a recent district survey that said 62 percent of teachers either approve or strongly approve of TEI. “I do acknowledge any new system requires tweaks and improvements to get it right,” Marshall said. “It’s not perfect as it is today and we need to continue to evaluate, but there’s no reason to go back to what we had before.”

Although the job has been challenging since his first year in office, he believes he has helped make substantial improvements to the district. He said he is optimistic about the election and ready to get to work.

“Not everything we do is going to be politically popular, but we try to keep kids at the center of every decision we make,” Marshall said.

As for Kirkpatrick, she said she’s surprised by how much she has enjoyed the campaign. She believes the momentum she has built over the past few months will carry her on to victory.

“We are energized and plan to stay on message.”

Tobolowsky Family Wins Defamation Suit

Ira Tobolowsky Judge Don Cosby awarded the family of the late Ira Tobolowsky a $5.5 million judgment in a defamation case against Steve Aubrey and Brian Vodicka. Tobolowsky battled the two men in court for years. The family originally sought $500,000.

In court documents filed in July 2015, Tobolowsky accused Aubrey of using “intentional lies, fraud, defamatory statements, and dirty tricks” against him after he represented Aubrey’s mother in a court case involv-

ing a family trust that Aubrey lost.

During that case, Aubrey alledged that his mother had never held a job, and “did not have the skills to manage simple household affairs, much less a multi-million dollar trust.” His mother countered that he was a “greedy son” who was attempting to steal her late husband’s assets. Aubrey later characterized Tobolowsky’s involvement as “jihad” against his family.

Aubrey was represented by his legal partner Vodicka, whom Tobolowsky accused of attacking his “integrity, honesty, and practice of law.”

Neither Aubrey nor Vodicka appeared in court during the May 8 proceedings.

Tobolowsky was found dead in his home after a May 2016 fire. The Dallas County Medical Examiners office subsequently ruled the death a homicide after they concluded he had suffered blunt force trauma injuries before the blaze. Police have not arrested any suspects in the case.

Kleinman Easily Top Evans in Council Race

Lee Kleinman Incumbent Lee Kleinman defeated real estate blogger Candace “Candy” Evans in the District 11 Dallas City Council race by a margin of 6337 percent.

Only 4,546 people voted in the election, 164 fewer than the last time there was a competitive race four years ago. Kleinman won that contest by a nearly identical margin. He was unopposed in 2015.

Evans, who was making her first foray into politics, had the support

of the Dallas Police and Firefighter unions.

However, she could not match the fundraising prowess of Kleinman, who will now enter his third term on the council.

According to campaign expenditure reports released by the city of Dallas, Kleinman spent more than $130,000 on the race verses less than $30,000 spent by Evans.

Kleinman said that his goal in running was to ensure that North Dallas and District 11 “would continue to be the best part of Dallas.”

ST. MARK’S ALUM TURNS SCREENWRITING FANTASIES TO REALITY Daugherty’s movie projects include ‘Ninja Turtles,’ ‘Huntsman,’ ‘Tomb Raider’

By Todd Jorgenson

Special Contributor Evan Daugherty’s road to becoming a Hollywood screenwriter began more than a decade ago in a NYU dorm room with a fantasy adventure and a fairy tale twist.

But it wasn’t until Snow White and the Huntsman became a box-office hit in 2012 that the St. Mark’s graduate knew his dream career had a legitimate future.

“It sat on my computer for a long time before we finally sold it years later,” Daugherty said of his first feature-length script.

“Then it was kind of off to the races, and I’ve had a nice run of movies.”

The success of his debut has since led to writing screenplays for Divergent and the 2014 reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He’s now working on a Tomb Raider remake set to star

Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander.

The film will be in production soon.

“My goal always is to do things that have an element of escapism or the fantastical,” Daugherty said. “That’s what really scratches a certain itch for me.”

Those big-budget blockbusters are a far cry from Daugherty’s days at St. Mark’s, where one of his short films was shown as part of the USA Film Festival’s KidFilm showcase in Dallas.

His collaborator on that project was Philip Schaeffer, a younger classmate who became a close friend when their parents worked at the Dallas Children’s Theater.

Years later, Schaeffer dressed in a troll costume to help Daugherty with his NYU undergraduate film, a 24-minute short C H R I S M C G AT H E Y

Family Place Doing More For Victims, Abusers

By Maria Adolphs

Special Contributor The Family Place, one of Texas’ largest providers of services to domestic violence victims and their abusers, is expanding capacity by 69 beds.

Following the May 5 opening of a 22-bed emergency shelter for men and children, a 47-bed emergency shelter for women and children will be dedicated on June 4.

Although 85 to 90 percent of victims are female, men also suffer domestic abuse. The Family Place men’s shelter is the first of its kind in Texas.

Often people think domestic violence “only happens to poor … uneducated people, people of color, and that is not true,” Family Place CEO Paige Flink said. “It can happen to anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, education, [or] economic status.”

To fund the new facilities, the Family Place is in the final stages of a capital campaign that has ex-

PAIGE FLINK ceeded its initial goal of $16.5 million. Flink said they would like to raise $200,000 more than their current $16.8 million to cover a 30-percent increase in staff and create a job training program.

“We approach domestic violence at every level — from immediate intervention through prevention,” she said.

According to familyplace.org, the new shelters include a 100bed Safe Campus, 25 traditional housing apartments, and a range of other services, including education, employment, and counseling services.

Flink explained that sometimes the only way victims will leave their abusers and seek help is if their children are affected.

“If you have been devalued your whole life or abused as a child, or sexually abused as child, or your esteem is so low — you have been beaten down for so long, you think, ‘Whatever, I’m not worth it.’

But you still believe your children are worth it.”

For Kelly, one woman at the shelter, it took her daughter’s distress and pleas to make her finally leave an abusive relationship. Now Kelly has a car, a place to live, and a job as an insurance adjuster. Her daughter changed schools, joined the tennis team, and returned to being an honor roll student.

As part of its prevention efforts, Family Place established the Be Project, an education program offered through schools to help students build healthy relationships and prevent bullying and teen dating violence.

Faith and Liberty’s Place,

named after two Highland Park girls murdered by their father during an unsupervised visitation, provides supervised visits and exchanges for children whose parents are separated, in the process of a divorce, or have a custody arrangement.

The Family Place also offers an intensive counseling program, Batterer’s Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP), to individuals who have been convicted of a domestic violence offense when they are placed on probation.

During 90-minute sessions over a period of 24 to 30 weeks, BIPP works with offenders to identify and change their abusive behaviors. Flink said it is a misconception that people cannot change.

The Family Place serves more than 10,000 people a year at locations in central Dallas, Oak Cliff, Farmer’s Branch, and McKinney.

When it came time for Schaeffer to make his debut as a screenwriter and director, his friend was happy to lend his support as an executive producer. The result was Witch-Hunt, a low-budget horror-comedy that premiered in Dallas this spring at the USA Film Festival.

“MY G OA L A LWAYS I S TO D O T HI N G S T H AT HAV E A N ELE ME NT OF E S CA P I S M O R T H E FANTA ST I CAL . ” EVAN DAUG HERT Y “I was trying to conceive of a very small movie that could be done in one location,” Schaeffer said. “I really like board games, so that emerged as a way to frame it. They’re playing a board game based on witches, and then as the game goes on it seems one of them might actually be a witch.”

While the behind-the-scenes life of a screenwriter might not be glamorous, Daugherty said he considers himself fortunate to be doing what he loves.

“It’s really hard to break in. I tried to do it for five or six years and finally did,” Daugherty said.

“I lived in the worst apartment in Hollywood that used to be a hotel. There was a lot of hitting brick walls trying to get a career going. I’ve paid my dues a little bit, but for some people it takes a lot longer, so I’m very lucky.”

I recently returned to that Atlanta prep school, which has gained in its prominence and rigorous academic tradition. While the beautiful campus looked

much unchanged, the new building that arose was the technology building where all students now get their hands dirty learning what, for all the world, looked to me like a high-tech shop on steroids.

Arguably the greatest change in my lifetime has been technology. I have no idea how to use a 3-D printer, design inventions, create algorithms, or do many other things students learn to do today. I only know that I fear the double-edged sword of technology that both unites and divides us. Will it one day render us useless?

My granddaughter and I recently found an unopened letter my daughter, who was then graduating elementary school from a local private school, wrote to be opened 25 years later. My granddaughter was fascinated to see what her mother had written as a girl just a little older than she is. In a childish 11-year-old scrawl, her mother hoped at this point in her life to be happily married with children. She is. She predicted many new inventions. I’d say the Internet, cell phones, and drones qualify her as prescient. She hoped for world peace. Oops, not so much. So is this the best of all possible worlds? While much of my education still informs my life, my own experiences in

the last half-century would temper that worldview of Leibniz.

It’s a complicated world, and the jobs that today’s graduates will pursue will somehow all be linked through technology. Yet there will no doubt be multiple reinventions of self and new technological advances.

With the rapidly changing world, flexibility may well be the most desired trait we can proffer to graduates. Who can envision the world of our grandchildren when there may no longer be automobiles as the major means of transportation?

What if drones or jet packs are transporting people? What if cell phones become obsolete? Yet if everything is mechanized and automated, what work will people do that gives their ever lengthening lives meaning? How to best prepare students for this blitzkrieg of change? Have all our material comforts and technology made us better human beings?

Hoc credo: The most important thing is the here and now. Write it down because you won’t remember. That’s what I have done in letters with all of my grandchildren for them to open in 10 years when they are teenagers. Hang on to

HOW DOES SUDIE L. WILLIAMS’ GARDEN GROW?

By Lisa Ferguson

Special Contributor At Sudie L. Williams Elementary School, sounds of chickens clucking compete with those of children romping on the playground.

A sizeable coop tucked beside the school building holds nineegg laying hens with names such as Curly Toes, Pepper, and Cruella de Vil. The sturdy structure is part of a large educational garden, complete with several raised planter beds and a covered outdoor classroom. Students and teachers make daily visits to tend to an array of flowering plants, vegetables, and herbs grown there, and to care for the chickens as part of lessons in science, math, reading, and language arts.

“They can apply almost every subject out here,” explained William Gatlin, a fifth-grade teacher at Williams who manages the garden. With help from other teachers, students, and parents, he also waters, plants, and feeds the hens on weekends and school breaks.

Students “love the chickens because they can come out and talk to them,” and give their feathered

“ THIS IS T H E O NLY CHA NCE F O R T H EM TO ACTUA LLY SEE WHE RE F O O D C OM E S FRO M.” W ILL IA M G ATLI N friends mealworms as snacks, Gatlin said. “They’re learning responsibility. It’s teaching them to resolve issues, to work things out, to work together.”

The same applies to time spent in the organic garden, which was established in 2015 with a grant from REAL School Gardens. The organization, which has offices in Washington, D.C., and Fort Worth, designs and builds educational gardens at low-income schools to boost student engagement and academic achievement.

With additional funding from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, an open grass field on the Williams campus was transformed into the garden, which was largely designed by the school’s thenfourth-grade students.

TA N N E R G A R Z A

Students are growing lettuce, squash, corn, herbs, and other crops.

“They left us with onions and potatoes, and that’s what we started with,” Gatlin said of the garden’s earliest crops. These days, students also grow lettuce, cabbage, squash, corn, jalapeños, bell peppers, and a variety of herbs, including spearmint, rosemary, Mexican sage, and garlic chives.

And students can sample most of the food they harvest.

“It’s amazing how many of the kids will actually try [the produce] even though they know they probably won’t like it,” Gatlin said. “I’ve

seen kids … who say they don’t like tomatoes, but we’re like, `Try it,’ and they’re like, `It’s not so bad.’ ” Potatoes have proven to be a particularly successful crop for the students. Last year, they donated 17 pounds of spuds to local churches.

In the future, Gatlin hopes produce from the garden will make its way into meals in the school’s cafeteria. “My goal is to take what we grow and move it inside,” he said.

The garden also features compost and rainwater collec-

tion bins, a tool shed, a pair of fruit trees, a wildflower garden, and a trickling pond. Because of the milkweed plants, which are critical to monarch butterflies, the space has been registered as a waystation for the winged creatures that migrate through Texas twice annually.

“The kids will watch the bees work, and they’ll talk about pollination,” Gatlin said. Having learned about scientific processes indoors, “They’re able to apply it in the garden. It’s amazing how it just happens on its own.”

For many Williams students living in apartments, the school garden is as close as they get to having a backyard of their own.

“This is the only chance for them to actually see where food comes from,” Gatlin explained.

“When they first saw a potato pop out of the ground, they were like, `What is that?’ … It really amazes them to see their plants grow.”

Principal Michael Jackson grew up in the neighborhood.

“It really is a situation where kids don’t have a yard to play in,” he said. By tending the garden, “They get to see things grow, and that’s cool, because they’re our little seedlings.”

Wesley Prep Students, Homeless Inspire Each Other

AMY GOOD

Wesley Prep students and Austin Street Center residents write poems together.

By Brian Kendall

Special Contributor Ernestine Slanti’s hands were shaking as nearly 300 people listened to her read a poem on a small coffeehouse stage.

Slanti wasn’t even sure if she could make it to the reading. Nerves and a fear of sharing her work made her want to run away, but a sense of obligation to a wide-eyed group of fourth-graders ultimately convinced her to

overcome her fears.

The Common Ground Experiment started as a class project at Wesley Prep to provide sack lunches and Christmas cards to Austin Street Center, a shelter helping the underserved transition out of homelessness.

It’s evolved into a poetry workshop between students and the Austin Street Center, and ultimately led to a book and poetry reading at Opening Bell Coffee.

“We wanted to foster creativity and let

our students get to know [the ladies at Austin Street Center] on a long-term basis,” said Lori Cousino, the fourth-grade teacher who spearheaded the project. “It was also a way to expand their network of support and build relationships, as the number one cause of poverty is actually relational poverty.”

For two hours twice a week, students met with women to write poetry at the Austin Street Center, where rows of cots provided a stark contrast to the beautiful grounds and colorful classrooms of Wesley Prep.

“It’s an unlikely pairing,” Cousino said.

“You wouldn’t think kids from a private school in Dallas and someone in a homeless shelter would become friends. We were writing these poems together and meeting these ladies; we wanted to show the community you can find common ground with anyone.”

According to Monica McGee, the women’s program manager at Austin Street Center, the pairings created an unbreakable bond between the women and students.

“It meant a lot to the women to develop these relationships,” McGee said. “I saw compassion and love from [the women of Austin Street] I hadn’t seen before. They truly bonded, and I don’t think the relationships are over yet.”

The students made a website and sold T-shirts to raise money so they could print

books with the poetry that came from their workshops. The collection has raised more than $6,000 for the Austin Street Center.

The books, also available at commongroundexperiment.com, were sold at the Opening Bell poetry reading April 29, where students and their partner took the stage to read their poems aloud to the jampacked coffeehouse audience.

“We didn’t know if it would translate to people actually coming,” Cousino said. “But we ended up getting 280 people to come to this tiny little coffee shop. It was incredible.”

The event ended with the group reading a poem together, in which the women would speak in unison, and the students would reply.

“If we just stop and talk to people, it can change both our lives,” said Dylan Ratterree, a fourth-grader who participated in the Common Ground Experiment. “I think it is cool how that works. If everyone did that, I bet only half as many people would be homeless.”

Conservation Curriculum

Greenhill School students study threats to birds, wildlife

By Annie Wiles

Special Contributor The Greenhill School doesn’t shy away from teaching kids the hard truths about climate change — including that many species, including some in students’ own backyards, face endangerment.

According to the Audubon’s Birds and Climate Change Report, 314 species of North American birds could disappear from their current ranges by 2080.

David Yarnold, president of the National Audubon Society, recently came to Dallas to moderate two panels at Earth Day Texas — a festival held April 21-23 in Fair Park that attracted researchers, filmmakers, and conservationists from all over the world.

Yarnold also took time during his visit to spend a day at Greenhill talking to students in kindergarten through 12th grade about conservation.

“We were really excited to have this person who was a spe-

C O U R T E SY G R E E N H I L L S C H O O L

David Yarnold talks to students about climate change and birds. cialist and coming to speak with us from an organization that is so revered, one of the most respected environmental organizations in the country,” said Regina Yunker, first- and second-grade science teacher.

The children were no strang-

ers to the lessons of environmentalism.

Head of School Scott Griggs said conserving the environment is a core part of the Greenhill curriculum.

“The Greenhill students were terrific and very engaged,” Yar-

nold said. “I was blown away by the sophistication and commitment to the environment I saw at all of the grade levels.”

Teachers at Greenhill spend a lot of time talking about environmental issues — especially ones that impact students personally.

“We are a school that is concerned about environmental conservation,” Yunker said. “They [students] are our future stakeholders,” Yunker said. “They’re the ones that are going to be responsible for taking care of natural resources.”

During his visit, Yarnold showed younger students a native plant database where they could plug in their ZIP codes to find natural resources in their area.

With older students, Yarnold shared research about climate change and the potential loss of birds. He focused on the North Texas environment.

“The earlier we can teach people about birds and conservation, the more likely it is they’ll build

an appreciation for nature and take steps to protect it,” Yarnold said. “Climate change, pollution, and water all matter to birds and the places they need as well as to people — it’s never too early to get involved.”

Greenhill shared their environmental spirit at Earth Day Texas. Kids and adults came by their booth to build helicopters out of used paper and make art collages out of old T-shirts and other used materials.

“Conservation doesn’t have a party,” Yarnold said. “If we focus on what everyone has in common, bringing people into conservation through their love of birds, we can work toward common-sense and science-based solutions.”

Dallas TreeHouse Store Opens This Summer

By Fallon Lineberger Special Contributor

TreeHouse, a green home improvement store, will open its first Dallas location this summer in Cypress Equities’ The Hill redevelopment at Walnut Hill Lane and North Central Expressway.

CEO Jason Ballard said the new store will allow homebuilders to create healthy and sustainable houses. TreeHouse, which also has an Austin location, only sells Earth and human friendly products.

Ventana by Buckner retirement towers are being built at North Central Expressway and Northwest Highway.

BUCKNER HIGH RISE TO OPEN IN 2019

Ventana offers retirees luxury living, continuing care

By William Taylor People Newspapers

With adult children in Dallas and a church they love near Highland Park, Rick and Melissa Owens don’t want to move far, but up works just fine.

The retired American Airlines pilot and his wife look forward to moving to Ventana

by Buckner and enjoying the “high-rise living, which will be new to us,” he said.

Buckner International, a Dallas-based nonprofit, is building the 12-story continuing care retirement community on three acres just beyond the University Park city limits and across from NorthPark Center.

Whiting-Turner serves as lead contractor for the project designed by D2 Architecture.

The $136 million development at the southwest corner of North Central Expressway and Northwest Highway should open in time for the first residents to move in by mid-2019, according to Charlie Wilson, senior vice president for Buckner Retirement Services.

The Owens’ decision to buy into the community was influenced by Buckner’s reputation for quality, the community’s ability to provide ongoing care for the Owens as they age, and the appealing location not far from Park Cities Presbyterian Church, where the Owens are active members.

“We live nearby [now], and we can stay in the neighborhood we love,” Rick said.

At the time of the April 20 groundbreaking, 133 out of 189 independent living apartment homes were reserved. Units

BY THE NUMBERS 189 independent living units 48 skilled nursing units 38 assisted living units 26 specialized memory care suites 24 rehabilitation units Learn more at the Information Center located at 8401 North Central Expressway, Suite 725; call 214-2341035; or visit buckner.org. range from 800 to 1,900 square feet and come with buy-ins ranging from $400,000 to more than $1 million.

Wilson said 95 percent of that buy-in is guaranteed — money that could go to residents’ estates or be recouped if residents move somewhere else. He doesn’t expect many to want or need to move somewhere else, however.

“The residents know they are joining not just a community but a family,” Wilson said.

Ventana, so named for the Spanish word for “window,” aims to provide “a new outlook and way of life for senior adults,” he said.

Residents within the two residential towers will enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows that provide sweeping views of the downtown Dallas skyline and the Park Cities, as well as a variety of amenities at their feet.

The community will include an on-site health center, three dining areas, a wellness center with a heated indoor pool, a multi-

purpose Grand Hall, salon and spa, rooftop garden, outdoor lounges, patio grilling area, and underground parking with optional valet service.

In addition to the independent living apartment homes, the towers will include specialized units for those who may eventually need higher levels of care. Shortterm rehabilitation, skilled nursing, memory care, and assisted living will be available at reduced rates.

Albert L. Reyes, president and CEO of Buckner International, said employees know their mission: “Be Christlike, create joy and love, and know your people.”

Buckner opened its first retirement community in 1954, but its history of serving the needs of seniors goes back to its earliest days.

Row houses on the edge of the Buckner Children’s Home campus in Dallas provided living space for retired pastors and missionaries, explained Ed Francis, a banker who serves as Buckner’s chairman of the board.

“Father Buckner would send the children to live with the aged from time to time,” he jokingly reminded future Ventana residents. “I can tell you the board has voted, and we are not going to be sending any children to live with you at Ventana.”

With $27 collected by passing a hat during a Baptist Sunday School convention in East Texas, the Rev. R.C. Buckner chartered Buckner Orphans Home in 1879.

Today, the agency continues to provide a variety of foster care, adoption, and family services, while also operating five other retirement care properties in Texas.

“ W E ’ V E G OT 1 0 0 M I LL I ON HOM E S T HAT W E N E E D TO G I V E T HI S LOV E TO. ” JAS O N BALL AR D According to company officials, the Dallas store will be the first zero-net-energy home improvement store in the world, meaning that it will create more energy than it consumes. According to the company website, the store will feature on-site solar energy and battery storage systems; non-toxic paint on the walls; and large windows, to curb electricity use for lighting.

Ballard said he began TreeHouse to help create homes that won’t affect the well-being of their tenants.

“The main thing that is different about TreeHouse is that we are focused on the end user,” Ballard said. “Most of the people that are buying the products [to build homes] are not the end user, and they don’t have to live with the results of their work.”

TreeHouse also focuses on educating homeowners, Ballard said. The store will have an expansive test kitchen, classroom space, interior designers, and professionals with backgrounds in horticulture.

Ballard said that TreeHouse consists of three parts: performance, design, and outdoors. The store will carry solar-power and smart-home equipment, as well as outdoor equipment for rainwater harvesting, gardening, and more.

The all-inclusive strategy is intended to focus on drafting a better future for homeowners. Finding a way to build safe and healthy shelter for humans and the environment is “existentially urgent,” Ballard said.

“We need to make big changes, make steps forward, and we need to do it quickly,” he said. “We’ve got 100 million homes that we need to give this love to.”

BUSINE S S

‘Temporary’ Job Lasts 51 Years And Counting

By Hannah Kirkpatrick People Newspapers

In 1965, Sonia Moss took what she thought would be a temporary job at the front desk of a downtown office. She intended to stay around six months before going back into the business world. More than five decades later, she’s still not sure when she will leave.

“It’s because [there’s] never a dull moment, and I guarantee you that today,” she said.

Moss, or “Miss Sonia” as she is known around the office, is the first staff member most customers see at the U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management office on Preston Road.

In the early 1960s, Moss took time off from her career to raise her young son and daughter. But when her son was old enough to watch his younger sister, she decided it was time to go back to work.

Fifty years ago, working at a bank meant doing everything by hand, assisted only by a 10-digit calculator. Everyone did a little bit of everything. Moss recalled working after-hours on the monstrous proof machines at the local bank branches to process the transactions coming off the teller’s line.

She served a short stint as a teller in the 1980s, but was more than happy to return to the front desk when the opportunity presented itself.

“Boy, I didn’t like that at all,” she said.

“I kept saying I like to take care of my money, but not somebody else’s.”

In her current front desk role, Moss is an integral part of everyday operations and is revered as somewhat of a leader within the office.

“We talk a lot and feel like we are a family here,” Market Executive Jennifer Chandler said, “so it’s with that respect we say that [she is] kind of leading the family.”

Chandler, who has worked with Moss for almost 15 years, said she has seen how important Moss has become to the Park Cities community both in and out of the office.

LAURA BUCKMAN

Co-workers describe Sonia Moss as a leader of their office family.

“[ T H ER E’ S] N EV ER A DU LL MO M EN T, AN D I GUAR AN T EE YO U TH AT TO DAY. ” S O N I A MO S S Moss actively volunteers through Bank of America. She coordinates the office’s Meals on Wheels volunteers every Thursday. She also volunteers on Saturday mornings at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, one of her favorite places, to keep herself busy when she is not at work.

“Really and truly, it’s a joy to be around people and give back to the people that you need to give back to,” she said.

For now, Moss does not know when she will hang up the phone at her desk for the last time. She said at her age, it’s best to live for the day and enjoy it.

Chandler doesn’t want to see Moss leave any time soon. “We wouldn’t know what to do without her.”

SHARP ESD SENIOR TAKES FENCING SKILLS TO YALE

By Todd Jorgenson Sports Editor

“I T ’ S A TE C HNICAL SPORT T HAT TAKE S TIME TO MAST E R , BUT I T ’ S VE RY R E WAR DING I N THE E ND.” C O U R T E SY P H O T O S

Lauren Kim (left) competes internationally.

L AUREN KIM

For many Texas teenagers, exposure to fencing comes only through big-screen swashbuckling adventures like The Three Musketeers.

As Lauren Kim tells her ESD classmates, however, fencing is much more than choreographed swordplay. And she’s got the expertise to prove it.

Kim has been around fencing her entire life. Her father Michael competed in college at the University of Iowa and has owned Lone Star Fencing Center in Dallas for many years. He also coached at St. Mark’s and Hockaday.

Lauren became a member of her dad’s club at age 10 and quickly developed an affinity for the sabre discipline.

“It’s an individual sport, so when you accomplish something it’s all on you,” she said. “It’s a technical sport that takes time to master, but it’s very rewarding in the end.”

She traveled to her first international tournament in Austria when she was in eighth grade, and has competed yearround at some of the top events around the world ever since.

Earlier this year, Lauren defeated Ibtihaj Muhammad, who earned a bronze medal in the team competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil and is perhaps best known for becoming the first U.S. Olympian to compete while wearing a hijab.

Lauren admitted that sometimes fencing must take a backseat to some of her other activities. She ran on the ESD track team for three years, and this year is rowing on crew. She’s the editor-in-chief of the school’s literary magazine. And earlier this spring, she turned down the chance to attend a tournament in Korea in favor of her senior prom.

“She’s done a lot of hard work,” said Michael Kim, who also coaches his daughter. “She’s really done an excellent job of balancing her schoolwork with fencing.”

However, fencing provided an avenue for Lauren to fulfill a dream and attend Yale in the fall. She will become the only Texan on the fencing roster for the Bulldogs.

“I think I’ll be done after college,” Lauren said. “I want to go to med school and do all of these other things that don’t allow time for daily practices.”

Jesuit’s Rapping Running Back Isn’t Slowing Down Jackson finds success in sports, school, music

By Todd Jorgenson Sports Editor

During the past year, Evan Jackson rushed for more than 1,200 yards on the football field, released his first hip-hop mixtape, and started an impromptu clothing line.

And by the way, he is heading to an Ivy League school in the fall with hopes of a career in either finance or law.

The multitalented Jesuit senior admitted that his graduation on May 27 will cap a whirlwind year of unexpected success.

Jackson was the leading rusher as the Rangers won a District 9-6A title, scoring 16 touchdowns after becoming a focal point of the offense after an early season injury

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

Evan Jackson will play for Brown University in the fall.

to quarterback Jacob Palisch.

“I was in the right place at the right time. After he went down, it became pretty apparent that we were going to start leaning on the run,” Jackson said. “I didn’t expect beforehand to have such a big season, because I didn’t get much playing time during my junior year.”

As Jackson became a workhorse earning district MVP honors and Jesuit rolled off eight consecutive wins, college coaches took notice. One of the schools interested was Brown University, which Jackson visited in November during a weekend tour of Ivy League campuses.

“After we started playing in district I started getting a lot more offers,” Jackson said. “After I visited, it became apparent that Brown was the place for me.”

Two years ago, Jackson was “messing around” with some friends when they decided to record some hip-hop tracks. That led to a mixtape called “Stay Woke,” which has found thousands of lis-

teners online. Jackson also has a couple of music videos on YouTube.

When the mixtape dropped during football season, Jackson simultaneously launched a line of shirts and hats to promote it. The merchandise became so popular the first shipment sold out within days.

“I wouldn’t even consider myself a rapper. Rapping wasn’t going to get me to college,” he said. “It’s cool to know a lot of people are listening to what you’re doing.”

Jackson’s recent internship at a private equity firm has him interested in a job in the financial sector. Or maybe he’ll attend law school to follow in the footsteps of his father, Ray, who’s the managing partner of his own Dallas firm.

“I don’t know what the future holds. I like to surprise people and break from the stereotypes. I just go with the flow.”

For now, his focus is on getting ready for his freshman year at Brown, both on the field and in the classroom.

People Newspapers Attending even half the social events in Dallas would be like a full-time job.

For Agness Robertson, it was just that.

For nearly 20 years, Agness was the People Newspapers’ society editor.

Along with her photographer husband, Tom, the two often attended up to five events a day.

Her weekly columns, which were all branded with a caricature of her and Tom, detailed exactly what happened at those events; from what someone wore to what the small talk was, she knew it all.

Tom took the pictures – Agness covered everything else. They were a staple not only to the newspaper but also to Dallas society.

“We were constantly on the go,” Agness explained. “We enjoyed all the events. It was all work, but to me it was fun.”

With so many events under their

belts, the Robertsons developed quite the portfolio of friends. People such as Gene and Jerry Jones, George and Laura Bush, and the Staubach family became some of their closest friends.

Although Tom died in 2006, the friendships they made live on through Agness.

On May 13, friends gathered to celebrate her 100th birthday. It was clear Agness was still an adored member of society as former coworkers and big names filled the dining room at her residence at The Reserve at North Dallas senior living facility.

Some in attendance included: Cindy and Chuck Gummer, Malcolm Reuben (who she described as a “really sweet potato”), Suzanne Bock Grishman, Lynn Dealey, Pat Martin, Yvonne Crum, Mary and Leonard Critcher, Helen Martin, Ann Alexander, and Jo Ann Holt.

Even at 100 years old, Agness is an energetic social butterfly with her wits about her.

“Isn’t that something? And I can walk!” Agness said.

Lynn Dealey, Dallas philanthropist and professional illustrator, said the party was a “reunion of longtime friends, family, newspaper coworkers, writers, PR people, media people, society friends, a few residents, sweet aides, and also neighbors from the old Royalton neighborhood.

“Everyone waited their turn to speak to the queen for a day, perched in a tall chair in the beautiful Reserve dining room,” Dealey said. “Agness was alert, excited, and so touched with every hug and greeting. She never got tired! She loved her party. She would emit a loud, ‘Oh my, oh!’ when she would be greeted by an old friend she’d not seen in years.”

Dealey said Agness continues to be a “treasure” in her life.

“She is full of life, still, even with the aches and pains of 100 years on earth.

I wonder if she’s so bright because she keeps her mind active and stimulated, or the other way around.

“Even now, living a protected life in her retirement home, she constantly surprises me by knowing more dish about Dallas than I do. She is just plain interested. For her to be 100 and still the same, it’s just amazing.”

People Newspapers’ Publisher Pat Martin reminisced on Agness’ time working at the paper.

“There are several folks who are super loyal to her,” Martin said. “She was sassy in her columns, but she did it in a way that wasn’t offensive.

“She knew who did what and who was who. People would say, ‘Oh my gosh, I love Tom and Agness!’ They were just a staple of the paper.”

Despite not being able to attend events anymore, Agness makes sure she stays updated on what’s happening in the society world. Because she is now blind, a friend comes to read for her the latest newspapers and magazines every week.

And of course, people like Gene and Jerry Jones still send letters and drop in from time to time.

FIRE UP THE GRILL ALL SUMMER LONG

CHRISTY ROST Summer is here, and there’s no better way to celebrate all season long than by firing up the grill.

Have you ever noticed that as soon as the grillmaster takes his or her position, everyone walks over? Guests will leave a table of hors d’oeuvres, drinks in hand, to witness the action because grilling is culinary theater. But it’s not all about the grill.

A truly memorable gathering begins the moment guests arrive.

A seasonal wreath or décor on the front entry or garden gate sets the tone. In close competition with what’s happening at the grill, the table setting is paramount. Generally, what’s cooking on the grill determines my table décor. If I’m

CHRISTY ROST

Go all red, white, and blue for July 4th entertaining. grilling a thick, juicy steak, I like neutral tones with splashes of bright summer colors to provide an eye-catching combination with masculine overtones. If it’s seafood, I start with a tablecloth or

placemats of azure blue, seafoam green, or shell pink, and create a centerpiece using my collection of large conch shells, starfish, sea glass, and shells collected on various trips. This has led to many

wonderful dinner conversations.

When ribs and corn are on the grill, I prefer covering the table with an old-fashioned redand white-checked tablecloth, as if we’re dining under a giant tree on a farm or ranch. Blue or white plates, Mason jar glassware, and white pitchers with no-fuss clusters of summer flowers set the tone for a laid-back evening of catching up with friends.

Hands down, one of our guests’ favorite summer recipes-fromthe-grill is ribs. Years ago, I had the pleasure of preparing ribs for national TV chef and best-selling cookbook author Stephen Raichlen. I had been filming cooking shows all day, but couldn’t pass up an opportunity to cook ribs for a true master-of-the-grill. I learned a lot about preparing ribs that night as I stood in the dark with a flashlight, making certain they were TV-worthy in appearance and perfectly cooked: a flavorful dry rub to season the meat, slow braising in the oven to break down the meat’s collagen and ensure

tenderness, applying indirect heat on the grill and mopping with the braising sauce to finish the cooking process, and finally brushing on the sauce during those last moments on the grill.

The next morning as I stood nearby, slightly nervous, observing the live TV segment, my reward came when Stephen took my ribs off the studio’s outdoor grill, sliced into them, and announced, “These are perfect.” The techniques I learned that late summer night are reflected in my mouthwatering, sweet, and tangy recipe for pork ribs with southwest dry rub and bourbon whiskey barbecue sauce. Happy grilling!

Want to Feel Good? Spread The Happy

CONTINUED FROM 21

This year, I keep coming across the notion of enthusiasm and joy again and again. Mostly how to cultivate it.

Happiness and enjoyment are contagious — so are misery and anger. Every day we make choices as to how and what we communicate. Those little drops of communication filter out into the world via the people around us.

Some in this world are so adept at spreading the happy that it’s impossible not to be affected by their trickle-down.

They are the types of people others love being around simply because they make them feel good.

Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

On her recent music video director’s spirit and leadership, Taylor Swift remarked, “When people are really enthusiastic, you kind of rise to that.”

John Mellencamp said while discussing for Rolling Stone his appearance on a CMT TV show with Darius Rucker, “He was so excited. When someone is that ingratiating, it’s hard to be a curmudgeon.”

How we engage and respond affects

basketball,” Jemal explained. “I felt like my work-life balance would be better at Hillcrest High School.”

After a few seasons as a guard on the Panther’s basketball team, he took his focus on the court to the classroom, something he said isn’t always encouraged for black youths.

“In the past, there hasn’t been a spotlight placed on academics for African-American kids, no role model,” Jemal explained. “The emphasis has been on sports or music. If all you’re seeing is a rap star or basketball player, that’s what you’re going to do. You need someone to pave the way.”

Jemal has no problem being the trailblazer. He believes that this is bigger than just grades — he is representing a school, a community, and a new mentality for black students.

It’s no easy burden, but he said it’s worth the effort. Being the first black student to achieve a goal is great, but he doesn’t want to be the last.

“It’s time for African-Americans to break down the barriers and limitations,” Jemal said. “You have one life to live. If you have limitations, you’re not living your life to the fullest. Prove to everyone that you’re not in a box.”

STEPHANIE CASEY

“M AK E IT AN O N G O IN G P R ACT IC E TO B E E NC O U R AG IN G — E V E N TO YO U R S EL F. STAY IN T ER E ST ED A ND EN G AG ED. ” everything we do. It sets the tone. With that in mind, it’s important to pay attention to our own ways.

Are you getting what you want out of people and life? Are your interactions sincere and fulfilling? Are you making things easier or more difficult on your-

self with your attitude?

Because, guess what? This one is easy. We all have the power to adjust.

Right now. Today. It costs nothing.

Dale Carnegie said the best way to be interesting is to be interested. I’ve found that being interested makes me a better listener and a calmer person, and I constantly learn new things. When you are interested, enthusiasm naturally follows. And that bright light attracts.

Even the most mundane task can be approached with a positive outlook.

That goes for things at work, home, or play. It’s easy to default to defeat or grump and lash out negatively. More of a challenge, to keep that brain and heart working, is to turn that frown upside down. Make it an ongoing practice to be encouraging — even to yourself. Stay interested and engaged. Catch when you are doing the opposite and just stop.

I’ll let Pharrell take us out, “Because I’m happy … Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do.”

Shout Out to The Men in My Life

M O L LY N O L A N I remember watching my daddy buff and file his nails and telling me, when I was a little girl, “Make sure your hands always look kept, men notice things like that.” That always stuck with me.

He taught me that pride in appearance spills over to pride in oneself.

I’m pretty adamant about having polish on my fingers and toes. I blame him. I’m not sure the men in my life ever really noticed. Maybe they did and didn’t say, but it’s been important to me regardless, and I notice it on others.

While I thoroughly enjoy a professional manicure, I’m fairly picky; chipped nails bug me, so I tend to redo them immediately – yes, possibly OCD. I blame him.

Since having them always polished is mandatory, and I would rather spend money on fabulous shoes than a weekly manicure, I frequently find a new nail polish color, lip gloss, or other fun products on my vanity left by my sweet fiancé. As he says, “I like the color and I’m not going to wear it, but at least you can.”

One has become my favorite, especially for quick changes: Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Longwear Nail Enamel. It comes in almost 40 shades and looks professionally done when applied with the Diamond Topcoat; plus, it has amazing staying power and dries quickly. He certainly found the right product to keep me happy with never-chipped nails. Maybe he did notice!

My brother is a first-time father of a 7-month-old girl. I can’t wait to see what advice my brother gives her. How precious is it when fathers of girls learn how to braid hair or do nails? Why

“FAT H ER S , I H O P E YO U IMPART B E AU T Y S E C R ETS TO YO U R DAU G H T ER S AN D SONS.”

shouldn’t they? There is no emasculation in doing so, only a more well-rounded father and wonderful experience for the daughter … for a lifetime.

Last Christmas, my brother said he wanted Kiehl’s Razor Bump Relief, which was something I’d given him previously; it made me feel so good that I gave him something he liked and wanted again.

If the guy in your life is anything like my fiancé, who’s not into many products, Jack Black has a versatile treatment called Epic 10 Moisture MP10 Oil, which can be used to condition or style hair, as a shaving oil, a leave-in conditioner, or a grooming aid for facial hair. Now that’s what I call low-maintenance! And if taming wild hairs is an issue (like it is for my dad), Dear Clark’s Finishing Salve does the trick: it heals, seals, saves your style, and protects from heat and humidity — perfect with summer on the way.

Fathers, I hope you impart beauty secrets to your daughters and sons. Teach them that, yes, it’s important to be pretty on the inside; but first impressions are also important.

Help them be whoever they want to be, but also help them create a physical appearance that shows their best self.

And men, next time you run through the grocery store, pick a color of lipstick or polish you like and surprise the woman in your life with it on her vanity.

You might just get better Father’s Day gifts.

Craftsmanship, style in Tudor elegance 6107 Lupton Drive in Preston Hollow — a suburb of Dallas, Forbes’ No. 1 housing market for 2017.

“Every home buyer wants to make a smart investment,” writes Forbes about its 2017 list of the country’s 20 hottest housing markets. The top market in America? Dallas. Forbes collaborated with Local Market Monitor, a company that tracks 300-plus metropolitan areas, to determine where jobs, population and home prices are up — in this case, way up.

“Dallas dominates,” says Forbes. “The home of Exxon Mobil and the Dallas Cowboys claims the No. 1 ranking. Dallas has an average home price of $233,000. That’s up 3.9 percent from a year ago and underpriced by 3 percent compared to the city’s historic average. Local Market Monitor forecasts prices will increase 31 percent by 2020, thanks in part to 3.9-percent job growth in the past year and 6.2-percent population growth in the last three.”

Population is up. Jobs are up. That Texas spirit is up. The expert agents of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty will help you invest smartly in your new home in Dallas — America’s hottest city, by far.

Imagine leaving the stress of the workday to the serenity of your own personal park. That’s the experience you’ll have at this gracious estate of more than 2 acres in Preston Hollow.

It’s all there: sweeping lawns and a private lake with fountains that mirrors mature trees. At the heart of this retreat at 6520 Northaven Road is the 10-room, two-story home built in 1955 and designed to bring the appeal of the outdoors in.

Floor-to-ceiling windows wash the interior with light, offering views of water and woodland. The setting offers enticements – wood-burning fireplaces on both decks, your own pontoon boat for enjoying the lake, and a saltwater pool with its own restroom and cabana.

The celebration of natural beauty is evident throughout this estate’s 7,300+ square feet. The richness of dark oak floors and the strength of exposed-stone walls all underscore an authentic sense of place. With five bedrooms and five and half baths, privacy is ample.

And comfort is close at hand, with amenities that include five fireplaces, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, and game, media and exercise rooms.

Do you know what makes it Mediterranean?

Make it Mediterranean: 6725 Northwood Road in Preston Hollow is listed by Missy Woehr of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

Where it came from: Mediterranean Revival is a style introduced in the United States in the late 19th century, variously incorporating references from Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Beaux-Arts and Italian Renaissance architecture. In the 1920s and ’30s, celebrity magazines showed Hollywood stars in their glamorous Mediterranean mansions, creating the peak period for construction of this elegant style.

What to look for: Symmetrical façades, stucco walls, tile roofs, arched windows with grilles, balconies made of wood or wrought iron, courtyards, large wooden doors with ornate carvings, multicolored tiles on staircase risers.

How it works: The signature tile roofs copy

those of Spanish and Mexican missions and are usually made of clay. The air pocket under each curved tile helps keep the roof cool — perfect for Texas’ warm climate. Stucco protects the house from rain, sun and those same warm temperatures.

Famous examples: In Miami, Vizcaya and Casa Casuarina. In Sarasota, Florida, Cà d’Zan. Today, Mediterranean-style homes can be found all over Preston Hollow. Your Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty agent can find the perfect one for you.

President and CEO Robbie Briggs independently owns and operates Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. For Mediterranean houses and much more, go to briggsfreeman.com.

3 ways to wow at your open house

Ready for its close-up: 6323 Aberdeen Avenue in Preston Hollow is listed

by Jean Bateman of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

You already know about cleaning and decluttering — but did you know these things could have an even bigger impact on potential buyers who come through your open house?

1. Do a rapid “renovation.” Little tweaks. Big difference. Kitchen a bit outdated? Replace the fixtures, faucets and cabinet hinges. Familyroom furniture a bit beaten up? “Fix” it with fresh, white-cotton slipcovers.

2. Turn the bathrooms into little spas. Create the feel of a relaxing, luxurious bath — for less than $50. Pile pretty soaps in a modern tray.

Stack fluffy white washcloths and towels. Add a lightly scented candle. Buy a designer bathmat in a soothing tone, such as the palest green or

lightest blue.

3. Give every room a purpose. That empty spare room won’t help sell the house unless you show buyers how they can use it. Pick a use — office, guest room, crafts room — and stage the space to showcase that purpose.

When you list with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, your open house will be seen worldwide, thanks to the global Sotheby’s International Realty® network.
