Lessons From Hurricanes 101

G

rowing up in North Dallas suburbs didn’t equip me with much perspective on hurricanes.

Neither did a dozen years writing and editing out west in San Angelo. There, rainstarved weather watchers look longingly at satellite images of named storms, hoping one might follow just the right path to bring the deluge needed to end drought and replenish reservoirs.

My remedial lessons in weathering hurricanes wouldn’t begin until 2005, the year I moved to Baton Rouge. Experienced South Louisiana residents know what to do before a storm makes landfall. Newcomers get to figure out why the bread aisle is empty at the supermarket.

Hurricane-force winds will change the way you see large, mature trees. Sure, they are good for shade, and perhaps a pecan crop, but that natural beauty also guarantees the power will go out shortly after the first bands of storm arrive. You expect the outage to last a week or longer and are thankful when one of those towering giants crashes down on the fence, instead of on the house.

About an hour’s drive separates Baton Rouge from New Orleans, but images from Hurricane Katrina made them look oceans apart.

A group of editors from Baton Rouge toured New Orleans weeks after the Aug. 29 landfall in 2005. We saw neighborhoods full of empty houses with waterlines above the windows and drove around the Lower Ninth Ward, where it looked like Godzilla had raged through. One house reminded me of Dorothy’s from the Wizard of Oz, but

W I L L I A M T AY L O R

instead of falling on a witch, it had come to rest upon a car.

Of course, all of those areas look very different today, because of residents determined to return and rebuild and the generosity of church groups, nonprofits, and others who committed the time and resources to help it happen.

Texans affected by Hurricane Harvey will need similar support. This month’s paper includes a few examples of the many ways to help. But those are just a starting point.

Let’s resist the urge to let the Texas Gulf Coast slip from our minds as recovery enters rebuilding phases. Though the drive’s a bit longer than the one between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Houston and points south will still make good destinations for mission trips and service projects in the weeks, months, and years ahead.

BRIEFS

NEW CHIEF GETS STARTED

COURTESY DPDBEAT.COM

Dallas Police Chief U. Reneé Hall Dallas’ new police chief took command on Sept. 5.

“It is an honor to serve as your police chief and work alongside the men and women of the Dallas Police Department,” Chief U. Reneé Hall said in an online message.

Hall, who was born and raised in Detroit, spent 18 years with the Detroit Police Department, most recently as deputy chief. She has a bachelor’s degree from Grambling State University and master’s degrees from the University of Detroit Mercy.

“I stand eager and ready to roll up my sleeves as we continue our journey in making Dallas the safest community in the country,” she said. “I truly appreciate the warm welcome and expressions of love received, and I am so proud to call Dallas my new home.”

KEEP ALERT ABOUT FINANCES

The Dallas Police Department Financial Crimes Unit is aware of the Equifax data system breach, in which hackers stole personal information of 143 million people.

State law specifies that one must be harmed or defrauded before an official police report can be generated, according to dpdbeat.com. A breach alone does not facilitate that type of action.

Equifax is working with their customers to freeze credit reports and the Dallas Police Department recommends that everyone regularly monitor their credit reports.

Contact the Dallas Police Department Financial Crimes Unit at 214-671-3517 to make an offense report if you have evidence that you have been harmed or defrauded.

COUNTY RENEWS HAZARDOUS-WASTE PROGRAM Drop-off site serves Dallas, 15 other cities

By William Taylor People Newspapers

A

trip to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center doesn’t involve getting out of the car.

Motorists show a driver’s license and utility bill to verify they live in a participating city and fill out a short form. Center workers unload the batteries, paints, oils, and other hazardous items that residents shouldn’t put out for regular trash service.

“Everybody just brings everything to us, and we try to accommodate them as best we can,” operations manager Earle Blakney said.

The county’s Household Hazardous Waste Program serves 16 participating cities, including Dallas, as well as unincorporated areas of the county, and was recently renewed for another five years.

The agreement covers Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2018, followed by four one-year options, because cities approve their budgets annually, said Rick Loessberg, the county’s director of planning and development.

JAQUELIN TORRES

Center employees unload and then sort household chemicals and other hazardous waste.

The budget for this year’s program is $1.77 million, which accounts for $679,353 in operating costs, $910,000 disposal, and $93,000 capital.

Dallas will pay $381,000 toward the capital and operating costs plus a share of disposal based on residents’ participation.

In 2016, Dallas residents

dropped off hazardous household waste 13,684 times, a frequency that averaged about 1 percent of the population. Most of the drop-offs were made at the center, but the figures include 156 made during special events held around the county.

The county doesn’t track participation by zip code, but Loessberg recognizes that with one drop-off

location to serve 900 square miles, convenience does play a role.

Participation rates can run from less than half a percent (south Dallas) to nearly 3 percent (Richardson).

The program began in 1994 with a series of one-day collection events serving 11 cities and about 5,000 residents a year. With the opening

of the collection center on Plano Road, the program has grown to process more than 2 million pounds of materials and serve more than 26,000 participants annually, according to county records.

At the center, employees sort the items dropped off and make sure chemicals that could be dangerous to store next to one another are kept apart, Blakney said. Nearly everything can be recycled, he added.

Loessberg said the program benefits the communities by getting dangerous chemicals out of homes and keeping them from being poured down drains or alleys or buried in landfills, which are expensive to maintain and operate and difficult to establish.

“Every cubic foot of landfill space is precious,” he said.

M O R E I N F O R M AT I O N WHERE: 11234 Plano Road, Dallas HOURS: 9 a.m.–7:30 p.m. Tues, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Wed and Thurs, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., second and fourth Sat. QUESTIONS: Call 214.553.1764 or visit dallascounty.org.

Study: Dense Dallas Getting Hotter More trees would cool cities, advocates say

JAQUELIN TORRES

Tree planting and preservation helps offset urban development’s heat-island effect.

Sarah Bays Special Contributor The Dallas area is heating up and not in a good way.

A recent study by Brian Stone, a professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, found that Dallas is heating up faster than nearly every other American city. Only Phoenix, Arizona, is

warming faster.

“The study … is a wake-up call for all of us who call Dallas and North Texas home,” said Texas Trees Foundation CEO Janette Monear in announcing findings of the Dallas 2017 Urban Heat Island Effect Study.

The study was conducted for the foundation with partial funding from Alliance Funding of Dallas.

At issue is the way urban areas retain heat in such impervious surfaces as buildings and pavement, pushing temperatures up to 15 degrees hotter than in rural areas, where more trees and open space typically exist.

“Cities do not cause heat waves — they amplify them,” Stone states in the study. He also authored The City and the Coming Climate — Climate Change in the Places We Live. “Human activities on climate at the city/regional scale, accounting for both land surface changes and emissions of greenhouses gases, may be twice as great as the impacts of greenhouse gases alone.”

Dallas has 35 percent impervious surfaces and the hottest areas saw average highs of 101 degrees Fahrenheit during the warmest months of the year.

“North Texas is seeing unprecedented growth, and with growth comes new buildings, roads, and parking lots,” Monear said. “It’s imperative that we come together to balance the grey with the green to ensure North Texas is a desirable place to live and work.”

The study found that tree planting and preservation in areas north of down-

town help offset the heat-island effect caused by urban development.

Mary Graves belongs to the Dallas Historic Trees Coalition and is a familiar with Stone’s study.

“I have friends who are really feeling the pain of development in our neighborhoods,” she said. “They’re building close to the edges of a lot and we’re losing that big canopy.”

Graves said she has seen large trees chopped down over the past few months.

The custom building of large “McMansions” often means substantial trees must be removed to clear away the root system that can be problematic for development. Trees that are removed are often replaced with small, ornamental trees, she said.

“One big tree does the work of so many small trees,” she said, adding that aside from providing shade, large trees also reduce storm-water runoff and flooding, clean the air and soil, and cool the surrounding area.”

It takes 50 to 100 years to grow big trees, and cutting them down is a mistake, she said. “People are grieving the loss of their trees.”

Help after Harvey

Community collecting donations for victims

By Lorelei Day People Newspapers As the Texas Gulf Coast suffered devastating blows from Hurricane Harvey, many Dallas area residents stepped up to help out fellow Texans.

While Dallas’ first shelter for Harvey evacuees – the Walnut Hill Recreation Center – has already opened and closed, there’s still plenty to do.

Donated items such as new socks and underwear, toiletries, feminine hygiene products, baby diapers, wipes, and formula, non-perishable food, and moving boxes are in top demand, says Trusted World, a local nonprofit that provides resources to people or organizations that provide services for those in need.

In an effort organized by Park Cities Presbyterian Church, more than 75 volunteers from 13 churches spent six days building Sheds of Hope. The storage sheds will be transported south and assembled for use by storm victims.

Many other area churches, including Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal, Preston Hollow Presbyterian, and Highland Park United Methodist, have places on their web-

Other ways to help: • The SPCA shelter is at full capacity for volunteers and fosters, but dog food, cat food, and any other pet supplies or monetary do-

nations are welcome. Go to spca.org/hurricane-harvey for more information.

• Purchase State Fair tickets for $15 ($3 off regular admission price) from NorthPark. The center will donate $5 of each ticket to relief efforts. Tickets are available through Oct. 22

at the NorthPark Concierge on Level One near Neiman Marcus.

• The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation is collecting and distributing donations through a special fund that ensures 100 percent of the funds go to the Houston Harvey Relief Fund and the Rebuild Texas Fund. Contribute at OneAmericaAppeal.org.

• The Operation Kindness Pet Food Pantry is collecting pet food and cat litter for hurricane victims with pets. Drop off donations at Operation Kindness, 3201 Earhart in Carrollton.

• After an overwhelming response of diaper donations, the Texas Diaper Bank is now asking for hygiene products. Hygiene kits with messages to the families can be shipped to The Texas Diaper Bank, 5415 Bandera Road, Suite 504 San Antonio, TX 78238. Go to texasdiaperbank.org/our-programs/disaster-relief/ for more information.

• Donate uniforms until the end of September to Armstrong Elementary. All uniforms will be given to students displaced by the hurricane who are now enrolled in Dallas ISD. Armstrong is located at 3600 Cornell Ave.

Monument Debate Comes to Dallas

Advocates disagree on historical significance

By Taylor Crisler

People Newspapers Hours after a federal judge ruled against a temporary restraining order to block removal of a Confederate monument from Lee Park, a descendant of the Confederacy had this to say: “Rather disappointing, being on the losing side,” said Hiram Patterson, a self-described historian who works as an environmental health and safety manager at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry in Dallas.

Patterson had only lent his name to the restraining order filed Sept. 6, the afternoon of Dallas city council’s 13-1 vote to remove the Gen. Robert E. Lee statue, because the chapter needed a Dallas resident to sign it, he said.

The statue was removed Sept. 14.

It has only been in the past couple of years that Patterson got involved with the Texas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He was admitted after paying for a genealogy TAYLOR CRISLER service and submitting an ancestor’s application for a Confederate pen- A Sept. 6 Dallas City Council vote called for the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue in Oak Lawn. sion check.

Since meeting with the attorney about the temporary restraining order, Patterson said he now sees this as the beginning of a grassroots movement, connected with a broader national struggle to prevent monument removal.

District 13 councilmember Jennifer S. Gates, who represents the Preston Hollow area, supported removal of the Lee statue, citing its installation in 1936 during the Jim Crow era.

The statue “symbolizes discriminatory practices and racism in Dallas’ past, and is currently being used as a symbol for white supremacy and Neo-Nazi groups,” she said.

“I can’t see how a monument of a soldier riding a horse is propaganda,” Patterson said.

Six miles north of the college where Patterson works, Carrie Stewart serves as a lay-leader at First Unitarian Church of Dallas, on the southern cusp of University Park.

“These folks are confused,” Stewart claimed. “This country was founded on noble ideals: life, liberty, equal opportunity — but at the same time as land theft from indigenous people.” She said this provided fertile ground for a white supremacist culture that became taboo to openly discuss since the 1960s.

“This paradox has never been recognized,”

Stewart said.

Stewart is also a main organizer for the Dallas chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice, a national organization which Stewart said works to “gather white folks for anti-racism.”

SURJ became officially endorsed by First Unitarian more than a year ago and has since organized its members to go to rallies supporting Confederate monuments’ removal and to attend lectures on Dallas history at the church.

“If you’re not aware of the history, and people come up asking for their rights, it feels to folks like you’re taking rights away from them,” she said.

On Aug. 20, SURJ invited its first guest, professor Michael Phillips, author of White Metropolis: Race, Ethnicity, and Religion in Dallas, 1841-2001 and professor at the Center of Working Class Studies at Collin College.

“One would scarcely know that the Confederacy comprised just four years of the city’s history, that there was considerable opposition to secession in East Texas, and that no decisive Civil War battles unfolded in Texas,” Phillips wrote last year in a piece titled “The Elite Roots of Richard Spencer’s Racism.”

BRINKER FOCUSED ON CANCER FIGHT

Komen founder inspired by sister, World War II examples

By Cynthia Mendez

Special Contributor

“As long as people are dying of breast cancer, we’re not done. I do this every day because of my sister.

Nancy Brinker

A

s the organization she founded to honor her sister’s memory reaches its 35th anniversary, Nancy Brinker gets asked how close Susan G. Komen is to reducing breast cancer in the United States by half over the next 10 years.

“We’ve taken big steps,” she said. “We need to take more.”

It is an ambitious goal, but Brinker draws inspiration from a more socially connected world and the increased awareness for which Komen is responsible.

“This era where patients are taking more command of their diseases or prevention or treatment is huge,” she said. “I’m very hopeful.”

After more than three decades, helping raise part of what she said is $2.9 billion for research, Brinker has not tired of trying to eradicate the cancer that took her sister’s life in 1980 at age 36. She founded Komen in 1982 in Dallas, serving for years as its CEO. “As long as people are dying of breast cancer, we’re not done,” she said. “I do this every day because of my sister.”

Nancy and Susan were raised in Peoria, Illinois, by parents with a keen memory of the sacrifices and horrors of World War II. The sisters grew up extremely close and shared a desire to help others.

“Susie was a beautiful, caring person,” Brinker said. “Not a day went by that she wasn’t help-

Nancy Brinker describes herself as intense, passionate, and grateful. “I have enormous gratitude to my parents and for being an American.” ing someone.”

Komen is one of the most recognized brands in the fight against cancer.

During October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the NFL partners with Komen to highlight efforts by encouraging its coaches and

players to wear something pink as part of their uniform on game days.

The Race for the Cure is a Komen event run in cities in the United States, Germany, Greece, Italy, Puerto Rico, Belgium, the Bahamas, and elsewhere. The Komen “pink ribbon” is handed

out to each participant.

Brinker credits her former husband, restaurateur Norman Brinker, for raising the profile of the organization.

“He taught me franchise style and constantly perfecting it,” she said.

The Brinkers were married 20 years before divorcing in 2003. During their marriage, Nancy went through her own battle with breast cancer. Norman remained with the foundation until his death in 2009.

Komen is tied closely to Brinker’s identity.

She’s proud of that. She’s glad it came from her sense of service.

“Service takes you outside yourself,” she said.

“Just do for others. I’m so inspired by our survivors.”

Brinker recently visited Normandy, saluting her parents’ respect for the fallen of the second world war. An uncle is buried in France, she said.

“World War II shaped the spirit of my family,” she said. “The Holocaust, the war. I’m not sure our kids are going to have those lessons today.”

She recalled the quote by Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, etched in stone at the Normandy American Cemetery Visitor Center. “The eyes of the world are upon you … I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle.”

“There’s just no clearer blueprint for bravery,” Brinker said.

Signups Underway for Race for the Cure

Dallas event looks to raise $1 million Put on something pink and make plans to join a tradition that began in Dallas more than three decades ago.

McBee Named Trailblazer Philanthropist to be honored for work

Lynn McBee

THE FAMILY PLACE

By Brooke Kull People Newspapers The Family Place will kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month with the Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon, a fundraiser recognizing some of the most influential philanthropists in Dallas.

“As the luncheon and The Family Place have grown, we’ve been able to recognize so many wonderful leaders and highlight the fact that domestic violence touches us all,” said Paige Flink, CEO of The Family Place.

This year’s luncheon will honor Lynn McBee as the recipient of its most prestigious award. Lynn is a seventh-generation Texan, 23-year biotech consultant, and now a fulltime philanthropist.

McBee was a bit emotional when she found out she was this year’s award recipient.

“I was deeply moved and shed happy tears,” McBee said. “I did not get here alone, and have been overwhelmed by the generosity and philanthropic spirit of our city.”

McBee is CEO of Young Women’s Prepatory Network, chairman of the board of the Bridge Homeless Shelter; chairman emeritus of the Board of the Visiting Nurse Association; and the chairman of the board of The Family Place. She is also a member of the Crystal Charity Ball, Charter 100, and more than 14 other charitable organizations.

“My grandmother and parents were givers, and taught me and my sisters that we had a duty and obligation to do for others when we could.”

The luncheon, scheduled for 11:15 a.m. Oct. 6 at the Hilton Anotole Hotel, will also feature keynote speaker Gretchen Carlson, former FOX News anchor and women’s rights advocate. Tickets are $175.

Tolleson Center to Serve Youth, Special Needs Ministries Highland Park UMC begins work on $38 million building

“Thousands upon thousands will pass through these hallways and their lives will be changed and impacted for the better.”

Tolleson Family Center will include underground parking plus spaces for special needs and youth ministries. BELOW The Rev. Paul Rasmussen, seventh from left, and members of Highland Park United Methodist Church break ground on a $38 million new building.

By William Taylor

People Newspapers Open land between Highland Park United Methodist Church and nearby apartments looked ready to become a construction site. To the Rev. Paul Rasmussen, it also looked like holy ground.

There, across Hillcrest Avenue from the main church campus, Highland Park UMC is building its Tolleson Family Activity Center. The 65,000-square-foot building will include special-needs ministry and youth ministry spaces plus underground parking for 140 vehicles.

“Thousands upon thousands will pass through these hallways and their lives will be changed and impacted for the better,” Rasmussen, the senior pastor, told those assembled for a ceremonial ground breaking in late August. “That is holy ground.”

The first floor, devoted to special-needs ministry, will include a sensory room, mo-

tor movement room, and a kitchen. The second floor will serve the youth ministry and feature a gaming center, lounge area, and café. The third floor will house a gymnasium and a 500-person worship center.

The church’s former recreation center, called the Biggers Building, used to

be on the site, communications director Mary Tanner Wilson said. “Now we have knocked that building down and we are going down below and up.”

The Tolleson Family Activity Center, scheduled to open in early 2019, is the capstone of a multimillion-dollar capital campaign inspired by the church’s cen-

tennial milestone celebrated in February 2016.

“To celebrate the milestone of Highland Park UMC turning 100 years old, we launched the capital campaign called Beyond,” Wilson said.

The plan included the $38 million new building along with investment in other ministries, including Habitat for Humanity, and the opening of three new churches in five years.

Highland Park UMC opened Church at the Square in South Dallas to serve nearby homeless populations including residents of City Square’s cottages, 50 tiny homes made available to chronically homeless people.

Another new church, The Grove, will open across the street from W.T. High School on Oct. 22.

Wilson said Highland Park UMC is still looking for a location for the third new church.

Carillonneurs to Converge in Dallas

Highland Park UMC to host Texas conference

By Barbara Kevles

Special Contributor Late one afternoon, John Acker unlocked the back door of Highland Park United Methodist Church, walked through the sanctuary, climbed the stairs to the balcony, then mounted a perilously narrow 38-step spiral staircase to reach the carillon keyboard that controls 48 bronze bells in the belfry.

In 1984, when it was installed, the four-octave Porter Memorial Carillon was the largest in Texas. Its lowest bass bell, the bourdon, weighs 2 1/2 tons and highest treble bell, 28 pounds.

Replacement of the instrument cast in the three-centuries-old foundry Fonderie Paccard would cost an estimated three quarters of a million dollars.

With reading glasses on and worn yellowed music in place, Acker’s feet struck the pedals that operate the lowest and heaviest bells and his hands, barreled in a fist, punched the baton-shaped wooden keys to pull bell clappers above into ringing the Bach favorite Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring for the delight of anyone within a mile radius.

The carillon’s superior expressive response to the performer’s whispered pianissimo or dramatic, resounding fortissimo is legendary among carillonneurs.

“The majestic sounds of this beautiful instrument guide our worship and lift our prayers to the Lord,” said parishioner U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, R–Dallas.

Oct. 20 and 21, HPUMC will host the 25th anniversary of the Texas Regional Carillon Conference. Twenty-five carillonneurs from across the United States and Canada will come for the privilege of performing on one of only 185 instruments of its kind in North America.

During the conference, the church’s reg-

Bring chairs and blankets to a public recital from 5 to 6:15 p.m. Oct. 20 in the Margaret Jonsson Garden.

Featured recitalist George Gregory, carillonneur for San Antonio’s Central Christian Church for nearly 60 years, will play works by Texas composers written especially for him and the church’s Nordan Memorial Carillon.

He’s including compositions by Alice Gomez that display her rhythmic style, such as Tango (1999) and The Bells of Cuzco (1995), named after the one-time Andes capital of the Inca Empire. Those will be followed by Lawrence Weiner’s late-period work Intonus I & II (1984), which Gregory describes as “more melodic than most dissonant pieces.”

contrast. Then Dan Welcher’s mournful Fantasy: In Memoriam Anwar Sadat (1982) will simulate gun shots in one section with three bells clashing together. Theron Kirk’s festive Introduction and Tower Toccata (1971) and his Hjemstavn Variants (1982), based on a Danish folksong, conclude Gregory’s program.

Second recitalist Richard Strauss is an inspiration to carillonneurs. With a degree in sociology and no musical background, he came to study the carillon and succeeded his teacher, Ronald Barnes, as cathedral carillonneur at the Washington National Cathedral.

His program will draw from American composer Gary White’s modern but melodic repertoire for the instrument along with rarely heard French Christmas music.

“The weather at Christmas is usually not conducive to outdoor listening,” said Strauss, “so I thought I’d bring a preseason sampling.”

Special Contributor In November 1912, voters chose Woodrow Wilson to be the 28th President of the United States. He earned a plurality of the vote in an unusual four-way race that featured a socialist (Eugene Debs), a former president attempting a comeback (Theodore Roosevelt), and an unpopular incumbent (William Howard Taft) who finished a distant third .

A little more than two months before that, John Tower was born in Massachusetts. He would go on to serve his country, father four children, and build a successful career. On Aug. 21, the longtime area resident celebrated his 105th birthday with family and friends at the Edgemere, a Senior Quality Lifestyles Corp. retirement community at Thackery Street and Northwest Highway.

“I’m surprised, myself,” he said about making it to such an advanced age.

In 1941, Tower married the love of his life, Grace Roos. The couple were together 67 years, until Grace passed away in 2008.

Shortly after the wedding, Tower set off on the famous Queen Mary to join Allied forces in North Africa.

“I saw as big of waves as you ever saw in your life,” he recalled. “They were going over the bow.”

After helping expel German forces from Africa, Tower served in Sicily, and then the Italian mainland, before joining occupying forces in post-war Germany. It was there that his first child was born.

According to his son Stephen, Tower decided to start writing a memoir the night before his birthday “at the age of 104 and 364 days.”

Upon leaving the service, Tower pursued a career as an engineer and eventually worked for the U.S. Department of Energy. After retiring, he continued to work as a consultant until the age of 97.

Near the conclusion of the ceremony, Tower cut his own cake. Stephen thanked everyone for celebrating the special day, and extended one more invitation.

“We will see you next year,” he said.

Bush Center to Honor Bono

Forum on Leadership to tackle pressing issues The Bush Center has announced the Forum on Leadership, hosted by President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, a new annual gathering that will bring together leading voices for in-depth discussions on pressing issues.

Ken Hersh, president and CEO of the Bush Center, said the event will recognize individuals for outstanding leadership in their fields and communities and investigate how to promote leadership while navigating such geopolitical challenges as governing in a complex world, education, economic growth, veterans’ transition, and technological disruptions.

“Leadership is the thread that runs through all of the work at the Bush Center,” Hersh said.

“The goal of the Forum on Leadership is to explore the crucial need for leadership in our society, particularly as our nation faces critical foreign and domestic challenges.”

The forum is by invitation only and will be held Aug 18-20, 2018 at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, 2943 SMU Blvd.

The first three-day gathering will be highlighted by the presentation of the inaugural George W. Bush Medal for Distinguished Leadership to Bono, the lead singer of U2 and co-founder of ONE and (RED), for his humanitarian contribution in the area of poverty and

“Bono’s passion for ending poverty and disease is the real deal. He uses his celebrity not for personal gain, but to improve and save lives,” President Bush said. “I am thankful for his big heart and for his leadership.”

Bono, through his lobbying for the creation of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and his ongoing work in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, is the model by which others are measured, according to a news release.

Lamplighter Opens STEM-based Innovation Lab

Addition boasts a maker space, kitchen, woodworking lab, garden

By Taylor Crisler People Newspapers

“If you think about cooking, it really lends itself to mathematics, design … and making projects.”

T

he Lamplighter School on Inwood Road has opened its Innovation Lab, a building addition which brings stateof-the-art enhancements that will contribute to the school’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs.

The independent, co-educational day school serves students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.

“What I find really exciting is that Lamplighter offers [STEM] programming to children at 3 or 4 years old,” said Judith Mullens, Lamplighter’s director of early childhood.

Most of the programs in the addition employ some degree of project-based learning, a teaching philosophy favoring exploration of challenges and some degree of productive labor by the students, over primarily teacher-led instruction. Programs include coding, engineering, and woodworking.

In the science room, thirdand fourth-graders are building robots that can run along a rope; they have also started a vertical hydroponic vegetable garden, which they monitor and harvest themselves.

In another room, children are tasked with solving “real-world

“If you think about cooking, it really lends itself to mathematics, design … and making projects,” said Vicki Raney, assistant head for academics.

Students also have an allotted time in the woodworking room, where they build things and are taught how to use tools.

There also is the environmental and early childhood sciences class-

room, where ecology and wilderness conservation are taught.

“It’s stewardship of the earth,” said Joan Hill, head of school, “and really teaching that at a very young age is what we hope will build a lifetime of kids who care about our world.”

The planning for the Innovation Lab began nearly two years ago. The building was designed

Walker Replaces Eska as Kramer Principal Her focus includes students’ emotional health

By Joshua Baethge

Special Contributor New Kramer Elementary School principal Kate Walker has wanted to be a teacher since when she was an 8-year-old in the third grade.

“I had great teachers who helped me and pushed me to do my best and I want to be able to do the same,” she said.

Walker worked 13 years as a reading teacher in the Garland ISD before coming to Dallas ISD for the 2013-14 school year.

For the past three years, she served as an assistant principal at nearby Anne Frank Elementary School. Now, Walker is excited about the next step in her educational career.

Walker replaces Katie Wanserski Eska, who was named the new North Dallas High School principal in July. Walker was tabbed to lead Kramer on July 31, leaving her less than a month to prepare for the new role.

“I just jumped in with both feet,” she said. “There hasn’t been a lot of sleep. It’s been quite a journey.

One of her biggest pushes this school year will be implementing more social emotional learning (SEL) strategies. Kramer has partnered with the Momentous Institute to train teachers on new skills

that will allow them to help students better handle their emotions and become more self-aware. The program also shows teachers better ways to handle situations when students become upset.

“In Dallas ISD, a lot of kids come to us with a lot of trauma, a lot of baggage, and we weren’t equipped to help them with that,” Walker said. “We can’t teach them reading, math, and writing until they feel safe at school.”

Also on the agenda for Kramer this year is International Baccalaureate (IB) certification. The teaching staff has been working towards this goal for three years. Schools that carry the IB certification have a curriculum that, among other things, incorporates quality practices from the IB global school community, encourages critical thinking, advocates consideration of issues from both a local and global context, and works to develop multilingual students. Only two DISD elementary schools are certified so far. Both Kramer and Preston Hollow Elementary are working toward certification.

Walker said being an elementary principal is like being a movie star.

She loves the hugs and high fives she gets when she walks through the halls. Her goal is to learn every student’s name, though with an enrollment of more than 500, she has her work cut out for her.

“I have great teachers on staff,” Walker said “I’m excited to see them in action because they have done such a good job at P.D. [professional development] and making their plans.”

Lakehill Preparatory School Expands Footprint

Campus gains lab space, room for student body growth “Lakehill is a gem to be treasured by all who find it.”

Colleen McCall

A recent addition to Lakehill Preparatory School gives the student population at the sixacre main campus room to grow.

Students were welcomed back to school this semester to a whole new wing at the main campus, following a 15-month expansion process where about 8,000 square feet of existing space were renovated and a 16,000-squarefoot facility was added.

Opened in 1971, Lakehill is a top-rated independent school offering a college preparatory curriculum to students in kindergarten through 12th grade. After years of steady growth, headmaster Roger Perry said the campus had reached capacity.

“There is such dynamic growth happening in the Lakewood area,” Perry said. “Everywhere you look, residents are enhancing their own homes. We are thrilled that we are able to enrich the neighborhood with a beautiful new facility. This expansion is a win-win for us and

Lakehill last updated its campus in 2009 with the opening of the Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center and renovations to the gym.

The school currently educates about 400 students. The renovations will allow Lakehill to accommodate a growing population in

coming years.

“While the goal is not to become a large private school, the enhancements to the campus will allow us to grow to 500 students over the next several years,” said Gigi Ekstrom, Lakehill marketing and community relations director.

The expansion provided a new art studio

and new lab spaces for science, writing, and computer science. It also provided additional classrooms, meeting and event rooms, and administrative offices.

A centerpiece of the project is a 5,000-square-foot inner courtyard that provides outdoor classroom and performance space.

The addition was funded by school supporters through a $5.6 million capital campaign — allowing the school to complete the project without having to borrow any funds, Ekstrom said.

Hundreds of donors, board members, parents, neighbors, and community leaders joined the entire Lakewood faculty and students for a ribbon-cutting ceremony late August, where board chair Colleen McCall addressed the audience.

“This expansion is not a culmination of Lakehill’s success, but merely a physical manifestation of what we have all known for so long,” McCall said. “Lakehill is a gem to be treasured by all who find it. I am so thrilled for my children, for your children, and for you — faculty and students — to be able to enjoy this beautiful new building.”

W.T. White Sweeps Academic Distinctions No other DISD high school got all seven

By Joshua Baethge Special Contributor W.T. White was the only comprehensive high school in Dallas ISD to earn academic distinctions in all seven categories evaluated by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Principal Elena Bates learned of the accomplishment as she was working with administrators in preparation for the upcoming semester.

“I sent a message to our director and said, ‘Tell me if this is true — pinch me,’” Bates said. “It was a great way to start the school year.”

The TEA released its annual ratings on Aug. 15. Schools across the state were judged on four accountability indices: student achievement, student progress, closing performance gaps, and postsecondary readiness. The three Preston Hollow-area DISD high schools met expectations in all categories: Hillcrest, W.T. White, and Thomas Jefferson.

The TEA also recognized schools for earning distinction in seven academic categories. Hillcrest High School received distinction in six of them, falling short in closing performance gaps.

Thomas Jefferson High School did not receive any distinctions.

Bates credits the hard work of her teachers and staff for W.T. White’s success. According to her, they worked with instructional coaches within the feeder pattern to tier students, identify gaps in different objectives, and determine how they could make gains.

“When we look at setting goals for our classrooms and our students, it’s all about what the student achievement is going to be,” Bates said. “We wanted to be strategic about how we met the needs of those students who we knew were struggling.”

The distinctions weren’t the only cause for celebration. The school recently opened a new collegiate academy and completed a $21.7 million expansion project that added 30 classrooms. The latter is a partnership with Brookhaven College that will afford some students

Bates herself was one of those teachers for 11 years, before being named principal last spring. She said she is grateful to have been chosen for the role and thrilled to be starting her first full year as principal on such a high note. She also vows not to let up.

PARISH BOASTS DUPLICATE DEFENDERS Hard-hitting Parish twins make quite an impact

By Todd Jorgenson People Newspapers

W

hen you play football alongside your identical twin brother, sometimes things get a little

bizarre.

Opponents might do double-takes when they look inside your face mask.

Maybe announcers will confuse you and your sibling, even though you’re wearing different numbers. Or perhaps an official will mistakenly penalize you for your brother’s infraction.

Each of those circumstances has popped up during the young varsity careers of John and Josh Emmanuel, who play linebacker and tight end at Parish Episcopal. But most games, those same opponents, announcers, and officials will remember the sophomores for a different reason.

“They’re two of the most athletic kids we have on the team,” said Parish head coach Daniel Novakov. “They can do a little bit of everything.”

Indeed, the Emmanuel twins have been game-changers since they both be-

Identical twins Josh and John Emmanuel play linebacker and tight end at Parish Episcopal.

came varsity starters last season as freshmen. They showed enough promise that the Panthers switched to a 3-4 formation so both of them could play outside linebacker.

They embrace the inevitable comparisons. “We don’t ever go through a game

without somebody asking if we’re twins,” John said. “If he has a good game and we win, then I’ll be as happy as if I had a good game.”

Off the field, the duo can usually be found together. In addition to sharing hobbies, they also play basketball at Par-

ish and run on the same sprint relay team during track season.

“To the naked eye, it’s like having two of the same person,” Novakov said.

“They’re always around each other, but we try to give them their own space.”

For all of the similarities, there are subtle differences, more than just their preference for pizza toppings. For example, while preparing for games, John is typically much more social with teammates, while Josh tends to isolate himself while listening to music.

“Just because we’re twins doesn’t mean we’re the same person,” Josh said. “I want people to notice me for me.”

Both twins tallied touchdowns during a preseason scrimmage against Shelton, on opposite sides of scrimmage. John caught an 80-yard touchdown pass, while Josh scored on an interception return.

Of course, being on the field with your brother has plenty of advantages, some of which simply involve the inherent connection between twins.

“We like to bring each other up. I can feed off his energy,” Josh said. “He’s really my best friend.”

Tight-Knit Organization

St. Mark’s senior keeps several balls in the air

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers

ROB GRAHAM

Toussaint Pegues enjoys his new position on the court and his many interests off it.

Toussaint Pegues is a teenage entrepreneur and plays volleyball yearround. But he really wants to go to college and study medicine.

Such wide-ranging ambition is common among teenagers, but the St. Mark’s senior is able to successfully balance it all.

On the court, Pegues was an all-conference selection for the Lions last season after shifting from middle blocker to opposite. In July, he competed at the elite USA Volleyball High Performance Championships in Florida.

“Out of the middle I was mostly a defensive player,” said Pegues, who stands 6 feet, 3 inches. “It’s a lot easier to get me involved now.”

The Preston Hollow resident chose volleyball in middle school after participating in baseball and bas-

ketball when he was younger. While that’s a way to get his competitive juices flowing, Dandelion Candles provides a quieter creative outlet.

That’s the name of the online company Pegues launched more than a year ago to sell his handmade arts and crafts, which range from ceramics to candles to a variety of crocheted items.

During his freshman year, Pegues needed a case for his videogame system. So instead of buying a generic case at the store, he made one out of yarn, after learning crochet from his mother.

“It pretty much went from there,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed making things.”

Pegues has crocheted everything from calculator cases to dog toys to hats and scarves. As a sophomore, he took a ceramics class at school and found a new passion. The following year, he started making candles.

He showcases most of his items on social media and sells them primarily to classmates or family members. He’s also made a few sales via Etsy.

“I’ve probably sold at least one of everything I’ve made to one of my classmates,” said Pegues, who also is on the Quiz Bowl team at St. Mark’s and writes for the school’s scientific magazine. “Most of my classmates set my prices.”

A year ago, Pegues started a St. Mark’s chapter of Spreading the Warmth, a Dallas-based charity to which he’s donated about 20 of his scarves. Others at the school have gotten involved, too.

For now, however, Pegues is mostly focused on volleyball season, where he hopes the Lions can improve upon third-place SPC finishes in each of the past two years.

The conference tournament will take place Nov. 9–11 in Fort Worth.

Warehouse to become tenant showrooms

By William Taylor People Newspapers

T

he retro roto-sphere sign across Central Expressway from SMU may no longer rotate and blink, but the tall Dallas landmark still identifies a showroom of high-end appliances, plumbing, and decorative hardware.

Soon names identifying showrooms of other home improvement companies could join the Jarrell Company on the iconic sign.

“The top of the roto-sphere is 98 feet, so it’s way up there,” said architect Robert Kilduff.

Kilduff is working with the Jarrell Company on plans for transforming the 1960s building at 2651 Fondren Drive in University Park into a center for similar companies.

The Jarrell Company has operated at its original location between SMU and University boulevards since its founding in 1964 but changed ownership in 2014. Under Zane Butter, Eric Neel, and Morris Wells, the company has gotten larger, adding a Grapevine location, according to jarrellco.com.

The owners intend to continue using nearly half of the Fondren Drive building, about 21,000 square feet, as a Jarrell Company showroom, but convert the remaining

“The top of the roto-sphere is 98 feet, so it’s way up there.”

Robert Kilduff

22,000 square feet of warehouse into spaces suitable for commercial tenants, Kilduff said.

A starting date for the renovations is unknown. Inquiries were referred to Neel, who did not return phone calls before press time.

The University Park City Council has already waived requirements for adding 77 onsite parking spaces as part of the project and granted permission to add new signs for future tenants.

Community development director Patrick Baugh assured council members that the type of showrooms planned wouldn’t generate enough activity to require more than the 69 on-site spaces already there.

“Lord knows we don’t need any

more parking problems,” Mayor Olin Lane said.

The future of the roto-sphere hasn’t been determined, Kilduff said.

According to roadsidearchitecture.com, the sphere, originally painted reddish-orange with yellow arms, hasn’t rotated for years and its neon has been removed. Plans in 2013 for a full restoration didn’t go forward, the website says.

If the new owners want to restore it, they will need to come back to the city for permitting, Baugh said.

But he speculated they could have a grandfathered right to do so as a maintenance matter.

“As iconic as that sign is, it probably qualifies historically, too,” council member Taylor Armstrong said.

Renderings show plans for updating the Jarrell Company building and converting former warehouse space into store fronts for other showrooms.

Law Limits Cities’ Take as 5G Spreads Better cell service means more nodes on poles

By Sarah Bays

Special Contributor

SOURCE: TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE

A new law clamps down on how much municipalities can charge wireless carriers to mount 5G equipment within public rights-of-way.

Senate Bill 1004 went into effect Sept.

1, limiting local governments to collecting payment of $250 per network node per year.

Many cities had planned to charge $1,000 per node or more.

“That [new amount] certainly, in my opinion, doesn’t compensate the city for the staff time to review these permit applications,” said Dale Harwell, University Park IT director.

The bill’s author, Sen. Kelly Hancock, R-North Richland Hills, has said the new law will help grow Texas’ telecom infrastructure, improving cell service for customers and strengthening the state economically.

But Dallas and 21 other cities have filed

suit, saying the law violates the anti-gift and non-delegation provisions of the state constitution. The suit argues that SB 1004 would make cities illegally transfer “wealth of as much as hundreds of millions of dollars from municipal coffers to private telecommunications companies each year.”

The law also regulates application and permitting processes, establishes short review times, and addresses what design standards municipalities may enact for aesthetic and safety needs.

Network nodes are iPad-size connection points that are used along network routes, transmitting cell phone signals. They can be attached to light poles, traffic signal poles, street sign poles, and stand-alone poles. Often, fiber optic lines are installed along with the nodes.

The nodes are anticipated to increase the quality of signals in the area, which most people realize might require installation of such devices, Harwell noted.

“I’m sure city hall will field a few calls about what looks to be additional equipment on poles,” UP communications officer Steve Mace said.

Several years back, the city put traffic signal devices on most of the major intersections. The devices, which looked like cameras, were thought by some to be security or redlight cameras. Residents complained.

The Park Cities have not joined the lawsuit but have modified their ordinances to address such design standards as size, location and color of the devices.

“I don’t expect that there’s going to be a lot of blight because of this, because we’ve done our due diligence to prevent it,” Mace said.

Highland Park town administrator Bill Lindley said the town will lose money from the changes, but he doesn’t expect to see other types of problems arise.

“As utility poles are in alleys, either positive and/or negative impacts are offset,” Lindley said.

Village Owners Refinance For Center’s Future New loan $54M more than 2009 purchase price

OMNIPLAN

Highland Park Village officials hope to finish Building G renovations by next summer.

By William Taylor

People Newspapers Owners of Highland Park Village, already undergoing major renovations to make room for more retail and a private club, have secured more funds to invest in the premier shopping center.

The owners of the center, a family partnership that includes Ray and Heather Hill Washburne and Stephen and Elisa Summers, recently refinanced the center for $225 million — $54 million more than the 2009 purchase price.

Funds from the new loan with TH Real Estate, an affiliate of Nuveen, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, will be used “to invest in our property for decades to come,” said Washburne in a statement.

“It means that we will continue to have the resources we need to invest in Highland Park Village to maintain its appeal as one of

the most important shopping destinations in the country,” said Joe O’Brien, CEO of A.G. Hill Partners, which manages the trusts that own Highland Park Village.

That investment can be seen in ongoing efforts to maintain the appearance of the center and accommodate the remodeling needs of new tenants.

“Having the resources to attract the most recognized global luxury brands requires investing not only in the infrastructure of the property but [also] in the buildout of the individual stores,” O’Brien said.

Village officials expect by next summer to finish a major renovation of Building G, a location along Preston Road that houses Chanel, Starbucks, and Anthropologie.

Work began in late May to update the façade to match the architectural character of other Village buildings, convert second-floor offices into retail space, and expand the third floor to accommodate a private club with large balconies.

After hosting events in California for a decade, Comerica Bank is taking its Women’s Business Symposium on the road with sessions taking place across the country. The event will come to the Dallas area on Oct. 13 at the Dallas Marriott Las Colinas in Irving.

“We are excited to expand this unique experience for women across the country,” the Dallas-based financial services company announced. The symposium will run from 11:15 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Dallas-Fort Worth event highlights include a keynote address by Academy-award-winning actress Geena Davis and a “power panel” featuring Deborah Gibbins, CFO of Mary Kay Inc.; Barbara Lynn, chief district judge of the United States District Court for Northern District of Texas; Jennifer Sampson, CEO and president of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas; and Nina Vaca, chairman and CEO of Pinnacle Group.

Davis will give a presentation titled “See Jane: Gender Equality and Why it Should Matter to All of Us.” While Davis is best known for her roles in such films as Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, and The Accidental Tourist — for which she won an Oscar as best supporting actress — she also founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.

Her research-based organization tackles bias issues and promotes use of strong female characters in entertainment targeted at girls ages 11 and younger.

Tickets for the symposium are available through online registration for $60 each or $500 for a table of 10. Visit events.comerica. com/wbsdallas.

Cattle Baron’s Ball FOR MORE SOCIETY NEWS: prestonhollowpeople.com/category/society

IF THE BOOT FITS …

Co-chairs Stodghill, Solomon bring experience to Cattle Baron’s Ball Lorelei Day

People Newspapers

E

very year, thousands of Dallasites set aside their sky-high stilettos and perfectly polished Oxfords for a good old-fashioned pair of cowboy boots to wear to the Cattle Baron’s Ball – the largest onenight fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Granted, the boots are usually still worthy of the runway.

Whatever the footwear, the shoes to fill are always big for the next round of leadership for the event. Good thing for this year’s co-chairs, Anne Stodghill and Sunie Solomon, the boots fit just right.

It’s been said that when you’re passionate about what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. That theory holds up for Stodghill and Solomon when it comes to Cattle Baron’s.

The event’s cause is the main driving factor for both ladies.

Stodghill’s family has been directly impacted by cancer: Her father is battling skin cancer, one sister-in-law had breast cancer, and her husband’s sister-in-law passed away from colon cancer.

“When cancer hits your family, you’re like, ‘I’ve gotta do something,’ ” Stodghill said. “I want to make sure people who are diagnosed with cancer can be survivors of cancer.”

Solomon lost her grandmother to cancer,

and her daughter’s godfather is fighting the disease for the fourth time.

“This is at the top of the list of things we’ve gotta fight,” Solomon said. “I tell my daughter every morning: ‘We’re put in this world to make it a better place.’ ” Neither of the women are strangers to the responsibilities of organizing a large event.

In fact, Stodghill and her husband, Steve, most recently spearheaded the CancerBlows concert in May at the Meyerson Symphony Center. Her other philanthropic endeavors involve the Dallas Charity Network, John Wayne Film Festival, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and the Dallas Film Society.

Solomon boasts quite the volunteer resume, as well, with experience with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Trinity River Mission, March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction, Housing Crisis Center’s Patriot Party, and Community Partners.

Although she told herself she was only going to chair one event this season, she couldn’t turn down the opportunity to lead the 2018 Texas Ballet Theater’s Tutu Chic Fashion Show and Luncheon.

Under Stodghill and Solomon’s leadership, Cattle Baron’s is in for another successful year.

Highlights include duo Brooks & Dunn and Texas Country artist Pat Green as this year’s entertainment, high-dollar luxury auction items, and a star-studded guest list.

- About the American Cancer Society Since its’ inception in 1974, the Cattle Baron’s Ball has raised more than $78 million for the American Cancer Society (ACS). To date, the funds have supported ACS in a variety of ways: • • • •

Provided more than 30,000 services to cancer patients in North Texas Gave 7,414 rides to and from treatment Provided more than 1,500 free wigs to cancer patients More than 1,000 breast cancer patients were visited by volunteers

- CATTLE BARON’S BALL This year’s theme, “Shooting for the Stars: A Dream as Big as Texas,” sums up the Cattle Baron’s Ball and its mission to end cancer. The event has earned a reputation for bringing in the big bucks with a western-themed night of top-tier entertainment, extravagant auction items, and a growing guest list. Beginning in 1974 with a Johnny Cash performance at the ranch of Toddie Lee Wynne (famed oil investor, real-estate developer, and Dallas Cowboys minority owner – a few of many accolades), the ball continues to be one of the biggest social fundraisers in Dallas.

The 44th annual Cattle Baron’s Ball will be held from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Oct. 21 at Gilley’s Dallas, 1135 South Lamar St. Visit cattlebaronsball.com for tickets.

• Aided in enacting state and local smoke-free laws • Connected patients with more than 64,000 different treatment options • Studied the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer There are currently more than 15 cancer researchers funded through ACS in North Texas. Aside from being the country’s largest private nonprofit for cancer research fundraising, ACS also campaigns for prevention methods and provides emotional, financial, and medical support to those affected by the disease.

Featured Entertainment with Brooks & Dunn

COURTESY PHOTO

Superstar duo Brooks & Dunn stormed the country music scene in 1991 with a debut album that garnered four No. 1 hits and helped forge a career that’s included 30 million albums sold; 80 industry awards, including two Grammys and 20 Country Music Association awards; and a Las Vegas show with Reba McEntire following a fouryear breakup to pursue solo careers.

Hits like “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “My Maria,” “Only in America,” and “Believe” have charmed fans and resulted in Kix Brooks (Shreveport, Louisiana) and Ron-

nie Dunn (Coleman, Texas) becoming the best-selling duo in country music history.

Blending influences from honky-tonk and mainstream country rock, the pair’s “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” has been credited with making line dancing cool again in the United States.

The two also found success in their solo careers, with Dunn achieving a Top 10 country hit from his 2011 self-titled album and Brooks entering the Top 40 in mid2012 with “New to This Town” off of his second solo recording.

Texas Country Star Pat Green Seasoned singer-songwriter Pat Green has a 20-year country music career that has seen Grammy recognition, a sold-out Houston Astrodome, and a tweet from American Idol Carrie Underwood confessing to her millions of followers that a ballad from his new album brought her to tears.

Green, a San Antonio native, made his mark in the music industry playing in Texas college towns and dance halls before earning major label support in Nashville. In anticipation of his 2015 independent release, Home, Rolling Stone magazine called him one of the most nationally recognized voices ever to come out of the Lone Star State’s country music scene.

Green has put out chart-topping singles like “Wave on Wave” and “Let Me,” and he’s toured with powerhouses such as Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban.

KEEP HALLOWEEN FUN

Bring on costumes, caramel apples

CHRISTY ROST

Home + Kitchen

I

always feel like a kid as Halloween draws near, and I’m not alone, as evidenced by the faces of our guests during last year’s Halloween party.

Thirty adults arrived at our door dressed as pirates, ghouls, witches, Roman soldiers, and even a geisha, wearing expressions of sheer joy at the chance to step away from real life for a few hours. I confess, I was a bit surprised, but also delighted by their transformation into kids who hadn’t seen the inside of a classroom for decades.

For years, I’ve lined our drive-

way with lanterns on Halloween, swept away acorns that always seemed to drop en masse just before the holiday, illuminated the bushes along the sidewalk with tiny orange lights, draped cobwebs over the porch lights and front doorway, and placed a series of jack-o’-lanterns on the steps leading to the door.

Some years, we’ve used smoke machines or a cauldron filled with dry ice, but the best accessory of all has been the small CD player hidden in the bushes, filling the porch with the unnerving sounds of moans, screams, and rattling chains. Add to that my love of dressing up in a long, flowing gown and a horrible mask, and I can truthfully say we’ve had more than a few moms and children run off the porch — screaming.

On the other hand, there’s nothing sweeter than the little ones who approach our door with their parents early in the evening, dressed as princesses, pirates, or their favorite Disney character. For these little trick-or-treaters, I have

special bags of goodies, and if the parents are from our block, I’ll give them homemade treats I’ve created for their children. Jack-o’-lantern sugar cookies, caramel popcorn balls, and Rice Krispies Treats lollipops dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles are always popular with our neighbors’ kids — but nothing brings a twinkle to little ones’ eyes like caramel apples do.

Glistening with gooey caramel and drizzled with dark and white chocolate, dipped in nuts or sprinkled with Halloween confetti sugars, I wrap each apple in clear cellophane and tie them with orange and black ribbon. These caramel apples are festive and irresistible, and best of all, they’re very easy to make. Happy Halloween!

Christy Rost is a lifestyle authority, author of three cookbooks, public television chef on PBS stations nationwide, and longtime resident of the Park Cities and Preston Hollow.

For additional recipes and entertaining tips, please visit her website at christyrost.com or follow her on Facebook and Twitter @ChristyRost.

GOURMET CARAMEL APPLES INGREDIENTS • 5 large Gala or Red Delicious apples • 5 wooden craft sticks • 1 11-ounce bag caramels • 1 ½ tablespoons water • 1 cup dark chocolate chips • 2 squares white almond bark or ½ cup white chocolate chips • Halloween confetti decorative sugars (optional) DIRECTIONS: Rinse and dry apples and bring to room temperature.

Insert wooden craft sticks into the stem end of the apples and set them aside. Cover a tray with parchment or wax paper and spray lightly with nonstick vegetable spray.

CHRISTY ROST

Combine caramels and water in a small nonstick saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the caramels melt and the mixture is smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and place it on a heatproof surface.

Dip an apple into the caramel mixture, spooning caramel over the top and sides until it’s completely covered.

Allow any excess to drip into the pan. Place the apple on parchment paper, repeat with the remaining apples, and chill until the caramel is set.

Microwave chocolate and almond bark in separate bowls at 50 percent power until soft; stir until smooth.

Drizzle chocolate over the apples and set aside to harden. Drizzle white bark over the chocolate and allow it to drip down the apple. Chill apples until the coatings have hardened; then wrap apples in cellophane and tie with ribbon.

YIELD: 5 caramel apples

Dealing With Difficult Older Parents?

Psychologist says, ‘Don’t take the bait’

By Bianca R. Montes

People Newspapers

In his work providing psychological evaluations of geriatric patients, Dr. Paul Chafetz hears frequent complaints.

Every week, adult children tell the North Dallas psychologist some variation of, “My mom is driving me crazy; my dad’s impossible.”

Hurtful sarcasm, irrational demands, constant criticism, and underserved anger can take its toll on children, even adult children, Chafetz said.

But he wants adult children to know they are not alone, and there are ways to protect themselves emotionally while effectively loving their hard-to-love parents and older relatives. Realistic expectations are key.

“Children, no matter the age, crave a healthy, loving parent,” he said. “And when they don’t, they crave to make their parent better.

It is irrational for the adult child to expect this to happen.”

Chafetz was raised by two loving parents, but as a grad students he watched his father sink into depression after consecutively losing three siblings, a family business, and a lot of money.

At the time, Chafetz was a brand-new graduate student in clinical psychology and the changes his father went through

steered his studies toward geriatric psychology. Thirty years later, Chafetz has taken what he’s learned in the field, the strategies that work — and those that don’t — and compiled them in a book published in July.

In Loving Hard-To-Love Parents: A Handbook for Adult Children of Diff icult Older Parents, Chafetz lays out a path for how adult children can care for difficult parents and older relatives and create a healthy legacy for their own children. The book’s core teachings lie in three lists: 10 concepts to empower the mind, 10 insights to comfort the heart, and 10 behavioral skills to guide parents’ actions.

Whether dealing with a parent or an older relative with a history of being onerous, or a parent who’s recently become difficult as they struggle with old age or dementia, Chafetz said the relationship between parent and child can become toxic.

“A difficult person will say or do something that is provocative that often leads to an argument,” he said. “Picture it as a fisherman dropping a hook with a worm into a body of water. I want the adult child to learn not to take that bait and to avoid being hooked into a pointless conversation with a difficult person.

“I want adult children to learn to be smarter fish.”

Say It With Me, Co-Co-Nut

Oil good for skin, hair, cooking, baking

STEPHANIE CASEY

“People who really love the stuff will joke that it’s the solution to any problem.”

Over the summer, I brought up coconut oil in one of my columns, mentioning that it has a teeny amount of SPF (about 4), which makes it a good moisturizer for arms, face, and neck for everyday protection if your sun exposure is mostly driving and walking to and from the car.

At the time, I had to stop myself from elaborating on the many other uses of the stuff, knowing that I could fill a whole column with that info.

Well, hi, hello … that whole column is upon us. Boom — keep reading.

People who really love the stuff will joke that it’s the solution to any problem.

Though that’s a slight exaggeration, the oil really does have many uses.

It took me a while to fully embrace the substance, but I’ve been all about it for several years now. Personally, I mostly use it for skin and household needs and just occasionally for cooking or baking.

Incredibly affordable and non-toxic, this is a one-ingredient product that is readily available. Why not give it a whirl?

Dr. Bronner’s coconut oil

There are plenty of products containing coconut oil, but you really just need the raw, real thing.

Here are the ways I use it regularly: • As face moisturizer • For removing eye makeup • As body moisturizer • On bites, cuts, and just-shaved skin • To soothe raw skin anywhere on the body • On the ends of my hair • To oil wood-cutting blocks • In cooking and baking • For “buttering” toast The oil changes from liquid to solid, depending on room temperature, but is always usable.

When it’s cooler and in solid form, it quickly melts when you put it on skin or in a hot pan. Some swear by a dollop in coffee.

And as it’s not an animal product, coconut oil is a cholesterol-free substitute for any recipe calling for butter.

As a skincare solution, it won’t irritate or sting eyes or sensitive skin. It has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties so is just an all-around terrific treatment to use in the home, on the bod, and in your kitchen.

You can pay a huge markup somewhere they have packaged it inventively or be in the know and just grab a big ol’ jar from your favorite grocer.

I spoon out a smaller amount into a little container I keep in my bathroom.

Look for an organic, virgin (unprocessed) jar. Brands are all pretty comparable, but a few I’ve used and like are Dr. Bronner’s (great looking label), Nutiva, and La Tourangelle.

Feel free to email me with any questions you may have about usage or other inventive ways you use the stuff at stephanie@lovageinc.com.

Downward Dog with the Dogs Puppy Yoga prospers in Dallas

Lorelei Day

People Newspapers

“I don’t think I’ve seen this many smiles in one place for a long time.”

Erin Hannigan Yoga isn’t just for humans anymore.

Maybe it stemmed from the many poses named after animals, such as the Downward-Facing Dog, Cow pose, or the OneLegged King Pigeon, but bringing live animals into the mix is proving to be a popular trend.

According to an article in yoga. com, combining the healing effects

of yoga with the stress-relieving addition of animal interaction can work wonders on overall well-being.

Puppy Yoga brought together a sell-out crowd of nearly 200 people on a sunny September morning on the Northaven Trail. Instructors led the class in a shaded, fenced-in area of grass as more than a dozen puppies were set free to mingle with the guests. Kisses and cuddles with the canines were encouraged.

“I don’t think I’ve seen this many smiles in one place for a long time,” said Erin Hannigan, Artists for Animals co-founder and Dallas Symphony Orchestra oboist.

Artists for Animals is a nonprofit composed of artists who raise awareness and funds for animal rescues. The organization is also responsible for initiating Puppy Yoga on the Trail.

Isabelle Calzaba, left, and Ariel Tolfree enjoy Puppy Yoga.

LORELEI DAY

The fun didn’t have to end with the final pose. All of the puppies were available for adoption from Operation Kindness, the largest no-kill animal shelter in North Texas.

“My daughter and I, we love this kind of stuff. And it’s for a great cause,” said participant Arian Thumann. “Both of my dogs are from Operation Kindness, so it’s near and dear to our hearts.”

Of the 13 puppies there, four were adopted that day, said Meredith Powell, CorePower Yoga instructor and Friends of Northaven Trail board member.

Powell also went home with a new friend.

“I wasn’t planning to adopt, but it just happened,” Powell said.

“Stella [the new puppy] is doing great. She is so happy to be in her new home.”

Skin Needs a Fall Break

Rehydrate with body lotion Now that summer’s over and we have tanned our hides — and as cooler, dryer temperatures tease us — thankfully, the fall allows a reprieve from extreme temperatures that can wreak havoc on our largest organ.

What should you be using during the fall to rehydrate skin from summer sun damage and prepare for winter’s crispness?

Body lotion.

There are so many on the market now. Lotions drew approximately $3.49 billion in sales in 2016, with Private Label leading the pack with a 7.1 percent share.

However, for 2017, Private La-

M O L LY N O L A N bel comes in second, according to statista.com.

The No. 1 body lotion by sales in 2017 is Gold Bond Ultimate.

With $132.5 million in sales, Gold Bond Ultimate comes in a variety of options for different types of

skin ailments, including eczema, psoriasis, or dry skin from Diabetes. The Aloe Lotion and the Daily Moisturizing with Vitamin E have wonderful healing properties for all skin types.

A friend of mine told me “she’s obsessed” right now with Cetaphil, which is also on the list of top sellers. Cetaphil is a great one to use in the morning as a daily lotion.

Also for daily use, Kiehl’s Creme de Corps is rich and creamy without being greasy; so too the Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter.

I’m not much into sugary fragrances; I don’t want to smell like

a cookie or cake baking. I’m more into floral, fruity, woody, and spicy notes, but Laura Mercier’s body soufflés are some of my favorites, and they are delicious smelling and not too sweet. With four fragrances — Almond Coconut Milk, Crème Brûlée, Ambre Vanillé, and Fresh Fig (which is available for a limited time) — they are a luxurious, silky way to nourish your skin.

They’re especially marvelous to use after a bath, before bed.

I’ve said before how much I adore Jo Malone fragrances, and her lotions and body crèmes do not disappoint. Plus, matching the fragrance of your lotion and per-

fume prolongs the smell and scents your entire body. This is a fantastic idea when going out on the town!

As with Jo Malone perfumes, mixing one fragrance of lotion with a different perfume fragrance is encouraged! With seven body lotions, 14 body crèmes, and 28 perfume options, there are countless combinations to personalize your scent.

Ethiopian actress and model Liya Kebede said, “Take good care of your skin and hydrate. If you have good skin, everything else will fall into place.” Sounds good to me! Happy fall; hydrate and moisturize to prepare for winter.

Former SEAL, Parkland Partner to Improve Burn Care Sons of the Flag provides resources for survivors Lorelei Day

People Newspapers Severe burns often bring intense, prolonged pain with lasting wounds that can draw unwelcome attention from others.

“When you have severe burns and disfigurement and have to go out into the public every day to live a normal life, you get scrutinized for the way you look — and it’s not something you can change,” said former Navy SEAL Ryan Parrott.

Recognizing that there’s a high number of people with traumatic burns, Parrott founded Sons of the Flag to fund medical research and help victims pay for the high costs associated with burn care.

But it wasn’t just his time in the SEALs that awakened Parrott’s passion for helping burn victims.

He met an Army Ranger severely burned by an IED (improvised explosive device).

“That’s what inspired me,” Parrott said. “People who get injured are not monsters. And people need to stop staring at differences and start looking at how we can help people. Especially with this injury, it needs our attention and help right now.”

“People who get injured are not monsters.”

Ryan Parrott

LORELEI DAY

Sons of the Flag Founder, Ryan Parrott, makes it his mission to help burn victims and improve burn care.

D I D YO U K N OW Developed in 1968, the Parkland Formula became the international standard for finding the amount of fluid needed to rehydrate a critically burned patient.

It can take multiple surgeries to achieve something as small as a skin graft. One patient, Omar Avila, has had 102 surgeries to date.

“It’s brutal, the surgeries,” Parrott said. “Doctors are doing their best to get them back to a state of normalcy, but we still have a lot of work to do to make surgeries less invasive. The general mass of burn care is behind.”

The nonprofit has helped Parkland Hospital, a leading authority in burn care, hire two doctors who have a specific concentration on burns — something Parrott said is scarce in the medical field.

“Burn professionals are turning their focus to survivor aftercare and community reintegration,” said Catherine Bradley, Parkland media supervisor.

As a Burn Model Systems participant, Parkland works with University of Texas Southwestern Medical School on innovative projects and research supporting patients with severe burn injuries.

The recently established Sons of the Flag Endowment for Burn Care Supplies provides costly wound-care kits and supplies to the hospital’s burn patients.

Beth Dexter, Parkland Foundation development officer, said the average cost of a burn-care kit is $150. Its contents contain items such as special gauze and dressings; patients go through five to 10 kits per week.

Sons of the Flag also has task force composed of firefighters across the country who connect with the organization through an annual first-responder conference.

“We designed this to be a pipeline to help organizations, hospitals, whatever it is that pertains to burns. We wanted to … feed where we needed to feed in the burn community. Ultimately, I’m not going to sit back and watch burns stay the same for the next 40 years of my life.”

OBITUARIES DAN BEAIRD

D

an L. Beaird saw Jesus face-to-face on July 7, 2017 after a four year battle with cancer, which he won! He was born November 21, 1937 in Tyler, Texas. His parents were Bryant and Abbie Beaird. They moved to Dallas and he enjoyed Bradfield, Highland Park Middle School, and graduated from Highland Park High School in 1955. He was highly admired and known as “that nice Danny Beaird.” He married Martha Lou Hester in 1965 and they thoroughly enjoyed 52 years together.

At the University of Texas, Dan loved every aspect of campus life. He cherished his friends in Delta Tau Delta all his life, and he was especially proud of his membership in the Texas Cowboys.

Dan worked very hard in his chosen

field of commercial real estate brokerage. He was known as the best land man with the highest level of integrity in Dallas County. He was honored by his peers with the Michael F. McAuley Lifetime Achievement award in 2012.

Dan served tirelessly the HPISD school board for nine years and on the board of the Dallas Country Club.

Dan’s love for Christ was the primary motivation of his life. With great love, he served Highland Park Presbyterian Church as Deacon, Elder, and Trustee and was honored to be elected Elder Emeritus. For many years Martha Lou and Dan traveled the world on mission trips serving their King. His greatest joy was to serve those in need, help in any way needed, and spread the Love of Christ.

He will be painfully missed by his wife Martha Lou, his children, Gayden and Chris Breckwoldt of Austin, Texas, and Ben and Meg Beaird of Dallas.

DICK CLARK III

D e c e m b e r 1 5, 1 9 4 4 - A ug u s t 8, 2 0 1 7

D

ick Clark was born curious. At age two, Dick asked his mother for a hammer, nails, and boards so that he could design and build a house. For the next seven decades, his childlike wonder only grew. He was hardly ever without a felt tip pen and scrap of paper, sketching ideas for his next project.

Austin’s “Godfather of Contemporary Architecture” was a Dallasite by birth and an Austinite by choice. After earning multiple degrees from The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Dick’s trajectory as an architect and creative force never varied.

He began his career in Dallas in 1969 at Oglesby Group Architects, where he was mentored by Bud Oglesby, one of the foremost modernists in Texas. He then took a teaching position at The University of Tennessee and was assigned to lead the Nicaraguan Architecture Students Program in Managua. The Nicaraguan earthquake that decimated most

of the city occurred just before Dick and his students arrived.

While there, he started a cooperative banana plantation that gave small farmers a new outlet, but left just after the Sandinistas assumed government control.

After a stint of teaching in Denmark and running Sundesigns Architects in Aspen, Colorado, he returned to Austin 38 years ago to open his namesake firm, Dick Clark Architecture, now Dick Clark + Associates.

During his 45 years as an architect, Dick designed more than 1,000 projects, including 500 custom or spec homes; fostered more than 20 architectural firms; and won more than 70 awards, including the prestigious peer-sponsored and peer-selected title of Fellow from the AIA in 2013.

A driving force in creating the vibrant architectural community in Austin, Dick was not only known for his award-winning designs, he was recognized widely for his dedication to the next generation of architects. In 2008, he established the Dick Clark Student Travel Fund, providing gifted bachelor and master of architecture candidates funds for international travel. Dick became a member of the Goldsmith Society, a group of major donors at The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture. In 2013, Dick was a member of the search committee for the Architecture School’s new dean, Michelle Addington.

A trailblazer in his work, which took him to Africa, India, Central America, and the Caribbean, Dick was also an adventurer who took his big smile and charm to tribal cultures and in-

digenous people. He hiked over the Andes to Machu Picchu, bicycled in China, went on safari and beach vacations, sailed, and explored the world, visiting more than 80 countries in his lifetime.

Along with his passion for architecture and adventure was his love of golf. For years, he and his “Friends of Dick” would hit the links across the country, often attending Masters Golf Tournaments and ending the day in a fine restaurant.

Called the King of Restaurant Design by Texas Monthly, Dick didn’t go to restaurants only to eat; he went to see how people interacted with the architecture.

He was a keen observer of human behavior, a trait that helped shape his distinctive designs. He thought of practicalities as well as aesthetics and was among the first architects to include hooks for women’s purses at bars and tables.

He was also among the first to offer interior design services in-house. Suzi Dunn, a longtime collaborator, started the firm’s interiors department so that Dick could take a project from concept through design and construction to interior finish and furnishings.

Dick’s big heart was reflected in his design projects empowering children, including his residential-style architecture for the Miracle Foundation’s orphanages in India and the Nobelity Project’s rainwater court in Mahiga, Kenya, that allowed students to pursue an education instead of hauling water.

Though timeless, Dick’s designs exuded a sense of place. He infused private residences with a local and regional vernacular, often using limestone, stucco,

and steel. His signature restaurant projects included 612 West, which won a national AIA award; Mezzaluna, Bitter End, The Grove, Maudie’s Milagro, Cafe Annie’s, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse Austin, Capitol Brasserie, Chuy’s San Antonio, and Kenichi Dallas. Dick also designed spectacular contemporary resorts, hotels, and condos such as Lakeside and Lakecliff Golf Clubs, Lake Travis Retreat, South Congress Hotel, 5 Fifty Five Condos, and Sky View Condo at Nokonah. Among the firm’s latest projects are the Nelson Hotel and Bloom Restaurant and offices, part of the transformation of The Backyard performance venue and mixed-use development.

Dick was a charismatic, ever-sociable presence in Austin.

He was the person who entered a room and immediately had a crowd of friends surround him.

Surprising for a man who designed some of the area’s sleekest, most spectacular buildings, he favored casual attire of golf shirts and Levis. But no clients who met him ever doubted that their dream, empowered by Dick’s brilliance, would likely be featured in Architectural Digest one day.

Even though he was battling leukemia, Dick’s friends and family always figured that Dick would keep going forever, never missing an opportunity to travel the world, revel in new experiences, meet new people, and create ever more stunning designs.

Even in the hospital only a few days before his death he designed his one and only sculptural fountain and red-lined a few current designs. He never stopped being the architect Dick Clark.

Dick passed away peacefully, surrounded by friends and family at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Dick is survived by his sister Diana Ximinia Clark, of Dallas; longtime friend and companion Sherry Matthews, of Austin; and his family at the firm: CEO Mark Vornberg, senior associates Kevin Gallaugher and Kim Power, and a staff of nearly 30 architects.

Survivors also include his second wife, Ulla Rasmussen, of Copenhagen, Denmark; step-siblings Neall Grinnan Rose, of Dallas; Peggy Grinnan Allen, of Waco, Texas; Lew Grinnan, of San Diego; and godchildren Irene Cunningham, of San Antonio; Preston Day, of Austin; and Kelsey Day, of Los Angeles.

He was preceded in death by his parents Dick Clark Jr., Susanna Saville Clark Grinnan, aunt Doris Clark Rhodes, all of Dallas; and first wife Kate McCarley, of Austin.

Special thanks to Dr. Naval Daver and his team at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Department of Leukemia, Houston; Dr. Donald Counts, of Austin; Dr. J. Dudley Youman III, Texas Oncology, Austin; Dr. Mark R. Litzow, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota; and his many caregivers.

A public celebration of Dick’s life will be held the evening of Sunday, October 1 at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Austin. Details will be announced. Donations may be made to support the research of Dr. Naval Daver in the Department of Leukemia at MD Anderson Cancer Center, https://gifts. mdanderson.org.

R ead about the housing market, the trends in homeownership, and see beautiful homes in our upcoming November issue.

Excellent schools are a top consideration for families looking for or settling into new homes. Parents especially love it when there is a great school in walking distance so that they don’t have to load their children into the car or a school bus each morning.

The benefits of being able to walk to school are many: • Starting the day right with exercise: Just walking a few blocks in the morning activates our muscles, gets the blood circulating and engages our brains.

• Seeing the world up close: Your children see things on the walk to school that they don’t see with the earbuds plugged in while on the bus or in the car.

• Quality time: Starting each day with a relaxed conversation with your child will deepen your connection and slow down the morning rush.

• Self-reliance: Rather than depending on you for getting him or her from home to school, your child will begin to learn the neighborhood and feel more independent.

If you’re looking for homes close to your children’s schools, contact one of our real estate experts at www. alliebeth.com.

The Tower Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas 2 Bedrooms | 2.1 Baths | 2,164 Sq Ft New Price $1,795,000

Mid-century contemporary is all the rage. Why? Because it’s where elegance meets both practicality and personal expression.

Anyone who remembers the French phase, the Tuscan trend or the sterile industrial era in home design is relieved to have a break from all those derivative themes. Mid-century contemporary allows homeowners to express themselves on a clean canvas that leaves plenty of room for personalization.

“It’s about inspiration and personal expression,” says interior designer Morgan Farrow. “I tell my clients to forget what their neighbors are doing and to discover what inspires them. We’ll often start by putting together a series of inspiration photos to see what they gravitate toward, then we work from there.”

Stunning and spacious 2 bedroom, 2.1 bath upper floor residence with direct views of downtown Dallas. Large formal dining area perfect for entertaining. Chef’s kitchen features Viking gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator freezer, Asko dishwasher and two wine refrigerators. Spa-like master bath finished in Calcutta marble includes dual vanities, a jetted soak tube and separate shower. Five-star services provided by The Ritz-Carlton Dallas.

For more information or to schedule a private tour, please contact Kyle Crews (214) 538-1310 or Sanders Avrea (214) 458-1964 or visit www.urbanteamdallas.com.

Both in the national and local markets, contemporary homes are the hottest trend, she said. In neighborhoods across Dallas/Fort Worth and other booming urban locations, moderns are in high demand.

“People of all ages are loving a more contemporary feel, and the trick is discovering the mix that works for you,” Farrow says. “A traditional piece next to a fabulous modern piece of art adds interest and layers.”

If you’re looking for that perfect contemporary property for your new phase of life, find an Allie Beth Allman & Associates agent to contact at www.alliebeth.com.

Home in Rockbrook Know Your Architecture: Built To Impress Georgian Colonial

From whence it came: During the 1700s, European settlers in North America incorporated the architectural styles of their native countries into their new homes. The styles that arose can be referred to as Colonial architecture, which includes Georgian, Spanish, German French and Dutch variations, plus Federal and Cape Cod. Georgian Colonial is one of the most popular, characterized by its rectangular, symmetrical and formal style. Georgian homes find their roots in both Italian Renaissance and the classical architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. “Eventually, those who chose this style were attempting to emulate those wealthy enough to build the original homes,” said Pete Shannon on HGTV.com. Georgian Colonial became the dominant style for domestic construction in the U.S. from 1700 to 1780 — and is still highly desired today.

Why it works: The symmetry and simplicity of true Georgian Colonial–style homes make them fixtures in affluent suburbs. Practically speaking, working shutters on Colonial homes in the South tend to be louvered to welcome breezes but thwart the sun.

Where to find it: Colonial-style homes, especially Georgians, can be found throughout North Texas. Your Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty agent can find the perfect one for you. Go to briggsfreeman.com.
