RECOMMITTING TO GETTING IT RIGHT

few weeks ago, our editorial team and I participated in a taping possibly to be included in a documentary. Two Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism students, Samantha Oberman and Rachel Wolfe, asked People Newspapers, as well as news organizations across the country, to participate. Their project is called Breaking the News [see breakingthenewsdoc.com], and their objective is to explore the disconnect between journalistic aims and public perception and the difference between national and community newspapers. On the About page from their website: “Aspiring journalists don’t go into the media industry for the money. They don’t believe they will find the stability of a nine to five job, or the protection of an office’s four walls. Instead, the majority of journalists set out to do good work in the world: to ask the hard questions, to hold people accountable, and to increase the accessibility of information. Even the framers of the US Constitution believed in journalism’s role in upholding a democratic society, protecting the field in the First Amendment.” When I was asked what role we play in our community as journalists, my short answer was, we are truth-tellers; it is our job to find the facts and report them. Well, my friends, last month we failed in a big way. I hate making excuses. I like to ac-

PAT M A R T I N knowledge my mistakes and figure out how to change the process to avoid them in the future. The truth is, we did not follow our own processes; we didn’t listen to each other, we miscommunicated, we pushed deadlines (more than usual), and then we did not do our due diligence (fact checking). We deviated from our process in order to meet our press deadline — inexcusable! This truly upsets me, because our team works very hard and takes a lot of pride in their work to represent our company and the communities we serve in the appropriate way. We sincerely regret the errors, laid out below. And I personally hope that we can restore your faith in us as your trusted source for community news.

BUSES ARE BACK, BE SAFE

CRIME REPORTS: JULY 10 - AUG. 13 S KU L D U GGERY of the MO N TH

JOSHUA BAETHGE

A bus driver posts rules for students. With school resuming, students and motorists both need to practice extra care, the Dallas Police Department warns. “Drivers should be aware that children are out walking or biking to school and slow down, especially in residential areas and school zones,” according to dpdbeat.com. Remember: Yellow flashing lights indicate a bus is getting ready to stop; red flashing lights and an extended stop sign indicate children are getting on or off. “Drivers in both directions must stop their vehicles and wait until the lights go off, the stop sign is back in place, and the bus is moving before they can start driving again.” Parents should teach children to be careful while waiting and boarding buses, police say. • Board only after the bus comes to a complete stop and the driver has instructed you to get on. • Board only your bus and never an alternate one. • Always stay in clear view of the bus driver and never walk behind the bus. • Be a good role model for your younger brothers and sisters and friends, and help them learn and practice the safety rules.

HIDE STUFF, AVOID THEFT

Thieves and burglars are watching when motorists park and leave their vehicles, police warn. To avoid returning to find a car window broken, officers recommend motorists not leave valuables visible in the car. “That sounds like ‘common sense,’ but drivers/passengers do leave items of value in plain view every day,” according to dpdbeat. com. “If you leave valuable items visible in your car, your car is automatically a target.” Items commonly stolen from vehicles: • Backpacks, gym bags, briefcases, day planners • Cash/coins, checkbooks, credit/debit cards • Wallets and purses • Laptop computers • iPods and MP3 players • Cell phones • Portable GPS navigation systems • Stereo/CD players, amps, speakers • Jewelry, keys, mail • Tools

DALLAS MANDATES PET MICROCHIPPING New rule eliminates yearly registration By Lisa Ferguson Special Contributor

“We had low compliance with the registration. It really wasn’t doing what was intended.” Gabrielle Vannini

andy Evans knows firsthand the heartbreak that can result when a family pet goes miss-

ing. The longtime Preston Hollow resident remembered feeling distraught when, more than two decades ago, her dog Buffy, a golden retriever-Irish setter mix, escaped from home. “We thought she was gone” for good, Evans recalled. However, days later, she received a phone call from someone who had found the dog miles away in Carrollton and used information from its registration tags to reunite the pooch and her owner. Back then, pet identification in the form of microchips did not yet exist. In the years since, Evans has

made it a point to have each dog she has owned outfitted with the devices. “I’d microchip my grandchildren if I could,” she joked. In June, Dallas City Council enacted an ordinance that mandates microchipping for all dogs and cats 4 months of age and older. About the size of a grain of rice, microchips are injected beneath animals’ skin. When scanned with a special reader, they reveal a code belonging to one of several companies that maintain national databases and store pet owners’ contact information. The city’s microchipping ordinance replaces the requirement for pet owners to register their fourlegged friends annually. Those who registered or renewed a registration within the past year are not required to have their pets chipped until the registration expires. “We had low compliance with the registration. It really wasn’t doing what was intended,” said Gabrielle Vannini, spokesperson for Dallas Animal Services, which implants microchips for $15. They are also administered at private veterinary offices, which typically charge around $50.

How Does It Work?

In 2016, DAS microchipped 12,113 animals that were either adopted from its shelter on North Westmoreland Road or brought to the facility by their owners to undergo the procedure. Between January and early August of this year, it chipped 9,176 animals. Besides assisting DAS in identifying animals that arrive at the shelter, Vannini said mandatory microchipping may also help alleviate the loose-dog epidemic that plagues some parts of the city, particularly South Dallas, where thousands of canines reportedly roam neighborhood streets. “There’s obviously not one thing that’s going to solve a loose-dog problem, but this is something that

I think is going to really help,” she said. The ordinance will be enforced when a pet is caught by animal-control officers on city streets and is impounded. “If your dog comes in [to the shelter] and it’s not chipped, you will be cited and fined for that,” she explained, adding that penalties will be determined by a judge. North Dallas has not experienced a problem with numerous stray dogs inhabiting area streets. “I think a lot of the dogs you’re going to be seeing out there tend to be owned,” Vannini said, “so having a microchip and being able to get them back to their owner, and educate their owner on ways to keep

the dog inside and not roaming, are going to be the positive effects.” Dr. Mike Escobedo of Cornerstone Animal Clinic said he has not experienced an uptick in requests for microchips since the ordinance went into effect, likely because more than 75 percent of his four-legged patients already have them. “These are responsible pet owners and they’re going to do it if we recommend it,” which doctors at the Preston Road clinic have done for years, he explained. “At our practice, we’re very lucky. … We’re going into [exam] rooms and doing annuals [examinations] and talking to owners and finding out, ‘Oh, you’re already microchipped.’”

West Nile Risks Rising

More cases, one death reported as season peaks By Sarah Bays Special Contributor

Health officials recommend following the four Ds to avoid mosquito bites and viruses such as West Nile. DEET When outside, use insect repellent containing DEET or other EPA-approved ingredients. DRESS Wear long, loose, light-colored clothing outside. The insects are attracted to dark colors. DRAIN Drain or treat all standing water around your home. DUSK AND DAWN Limit outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

An unusually rainy summer could play a role in West Nile levels continuing to rise heading into the school year. “The rain does bring more mosquitoes,” said Renae Crutchfield, spokesperson for Dallas County Health and Human Services. “At this time we are in the peak of mosquito season,” she said, adding that the department expects the number of human cases to spike going forward. “This is not going to be abnormal — although it is not good news.” Neighborhoods along the Preston Road corridor are seeing the evidence from Highland Park to north of the Galleria. A North Dallas man recently became the first in Dallas to die from the virus this year. The resident of the 75248 zip code [north of Beltline Road, between the Dal-

las North Tollway and Coit Road] was diagnosed with West Nile virus on July 14. The county reported his death on July 28, adding that he did have underlying medical conditions as well. In late July and early August, mosquito samples taken in Highland Park tested positive for West Nile, prompting ground-spraying east of Preston Road, roughly between Travis Street and McFarlin Boulevard. More spraying was done later at town tennis courts and public rights of way. As of Aug. 15, nine human West Nile cases have been reported this year in Dallas County, with several in Far North Dallas and one as close as the Vickery Park area. As for the weather, June saw more than double its normal rainfall and July nearly double, according to iweathernet.com. Rainfall measured at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport totaled 8.44 inches in

June, including a record 3.84 inches on June 24. July got 4.12 inches. The city of Dallas traps mosquitoes weekly for testing and monitors known breeding sites, often applying larvicide. Residents have a role to play, too, according to dallascityhall.com. In addition, to elimiating standing water on their own properties, residents may report problem locations. Call 3-1-1 to report standing water in ditches, vacant lots, or neighboring properties as well as dead birds such as blue jays, cardinals, doves, owls, and hawks. After a record-breaking number of traps testing positive in 2016, DCHHS director Dr. Zachary Thomas announced in March plans to begin public alerts and mosquito surveillance early. “West Nile virus is still going to be public enemy No. 1, and we’re encouraging Dallas County residents to be prepared,” he said.

HP Presbyterian Plans Open-Concept Renovation

Construction to expand building, add underground parking begins in 2018 Lorelei Day

People Newspapers On Sunday mornings at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, traffic inside can seem almost as bad as on the roads used to get there. While church members can’t do much to solve Dallas thoroughfares and expressways, they have plans for improving the flow inside for those headed to worship and Bible study. The Campus Vision plan calls for adding 35,000 square feet and renovating the 190,000-square-foot site. On the west block, 1.5 acres of open landscape will sit above a 350spot underground parking lot. Additions include an open central gathering area, new children and student areas, and more classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms. Renovations will address overall flow with new lighting, windows, and other updates. The Rev. Bryan Dunagan, the senior pastor, said changes would allow room (literally) for the 91-year-old church’s congregation and impact in the community to grow. “All this work … as we look at the next 90 years, it’s all about how do we continue to be

A conceptual drawing shows aerial view at University Boulevard and Shannon Lane. this light, or this beacon, for the city of Dallas and beyond?” Dunagan said. The Gothic Revival structure, designed by famed architect Mark Lemmon in the 1920s, serves as a hub for nearly 5,000 members and numerous clubs, nonprofit organizations, and support groups. On Sundays, hallways mimic big-city traf-

fic congestion as large volumes of members and visitors try to squeeze through narrow doorways and paths to the sanctuary or gathering places. Bible studies, counseling programs, weekly Boy Scout meetings, and community ministries keep the campus full every day of the week. Dunagan recalled his job interview with the church, when he had to fold his children’s two-

seat stroller to get through the doorway. “Can you imagine that?” said Clay Sell, church elder and Campus Vision team moderator. “We’re trying to recruit this young pastor with twins, and he can hardly move his double strollers through the building.” Obstruction is even more prevalent when it comes to parking. For member Lisa Wilkins, it takes a lot of work to get her family to church. “Every single Sunday we have to park two blocks away . . . whether it’s hot or cold . . . and get them all into church. We do it, and we’re happy to do it, but it’s challenging.” Alleviating problems like these are a priority. “We’re this neighborhood church on the doorstep of a university in the heart of a city,” Dunagan said. “We don’t want there to be a barrier to anyone who wants to be a part of this church.” HPPC will work with the city of University Park, architects, and contractors to finalize plans. The budget, which was not disclosed, will be funded primarily through member gifts. Construction is expected to begin by summer 2018 and take two to three years.

SHELTER CHILDREN ENJOY ART-FOCUSED CAMP Rainbow Days equips addicts’ offspring with coping skills By Sarah Bays Special Contributor

“It only takes one moment, one mentor, one memorable experience to expand a child’s world.” Cathey Brown

TANNER GARZA

Camp Bravo students perform in Lovers Lane United Methodist’s Asbury Hall.

athey Brown, a professional educator, knows homeless children need summer camps, too. Brown, a recovering alcoholic, founded Rainbow Days in 1982 to equip children of addicts with essential life skills. In addition to support groups and curriculums, the Dallas nonprofit presents a summer camp lineup: Kids University at University of Texas at Dallas, Outdoor Adventure Camp in far southeast Dallas,

and Camp Bravo at Lovers Lane United Methodist Church. “The summer camps are so they can be a kid, play, and get out of the shelter,” Brown said. Camp Bravo, offered in two four-day sessions, introduces children to acting, drawing, performing arts, dancing, and movement as ways to express and manage emotions. The students also participated in small

support groups to explore such topics as the importance of education, staying drug free, and having a sense of purpose. About 300 children ages 4–12 participated each week. “Exposing children to the arts and giving them a week filled with creative learning opportunities with caring adults and instructors from our community makes a significant positive impact [on] children’s lives,” Brown said.

“It only takes one moment, one mentor, one memorable experience to expand a child’s world and introduce them to new possibilities.” Tony Ballard, one of the performing arts teachers, attended Rainbow Days camps and events when he was growing up near Fair Park. The 36-year-old is now a musician working with The Artist Outreach. “No matter where you come from or where you go home to every day … you can do what I do, which is make music all day,” he told campers. As youngsters, Ballard and his siblings tried to dodge fights their parents got into, along with grease fires and even house fires. “Then when we went to live with just my mom, going from two parents to one, [we fell into] poverty,” Ballard said. Years later, Ballard’s brother started working for Rainbow Days and took Tony with him. “Rainbow Days got me out of the monotony of every day,” he said. “These songs, you know, you try to pretend that you’re not being touched by this stuff, but somewhere deep down inside of you, you’re crying, because it feels so good. “These kids learn more [here] in the summer than they do in school,” Ballard said. “They learn how to work with each other.”

Symphony Readies van Zweden Sendoff Farewell concerts feature Wagner, Beethoven If Jaap van Zweden’s final season as music director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra reminds audiences of his first, it won’t be by accident. “I wanted to have some pieces come back from the first season, so it’s a beginning and a closure at the same time,” van Zweden said in remarks published on mydso.com. He is leaving to become music director of the New York Philharmonic for the 2018-19 season. While he will remain with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as conductor laureate through the 2020–21 season, 2017–18 will serve as a farewell celebration of his 10 years as music director and spotlight “the strength, flexibility, and sheer artistic excellence of the ensemble and its leader.” “This next season celebrates the real accomplishments of this organization and showcases Jaap, the chorus, the orchestra, and the strong artistry that has been developed over the last decade,” said Jonathan Martin, who after five years as DSO president is leaving for the Cincinnati Symphony

Orchestra. Enjoy pieces by Mahler, Bruckner, and Beethoven, as well as performances of Duruflé’s Requiem, Rachmaninoff ’s Second Symphony, and Schumann’s Third Symphony in a season showcasing the range of styles conductor and orchestra have explored for a decade and composers and works for which the DSO and van Zweden have become known. For example, concerts on Sept. 14 and 17 will feature a composition commissioned by the DSO that premiered in 2008, Steven Stucky’s “Elegy” from August, 4, 1964. They also include Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, which was performed at van Zweden’s first concert as music director. The sendoff concerts on May 24 through 26, 2018, will feature Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, a Dallas favorite, according to mydso.com. “The orchestra and I have been on an incredible journey,” he said.

Filmmaker Comes Home

Marco Bottiglieri

By Layne Powers

People Newspapers Proud of his North Texas upbringing, director Marco Bottiglieri insisted on returning home to make his first feature length movie. “I hope to make many feature films as a director, but there is only one first feature film, and I knew it had to be filmed in Dallas,” the 24-year-old Los Angeles resident said. “I knew I had to go back to where I had friends and ask for help in making this movie.” Bottiglieri returned to Dallas in early August to premiere Color Me You at Studio Movie Grill on West Technology Boulevard, complete with a red-carpet experience and opportunities for fans to shoot photographs. He said he enjoyed filming in Dallas and at SMU where he was able to get help from his friends. “I will look back at this film and be proud of it, but be even more proud I went back to my hometown to shoot it,” he said. Color Me You is the story of Kat Abernathy, a woman conflicted between honoring her artistic passion to paint or carrying on her family’s legacy and becoming a lawyer. A brief biography on marcobottiglieri.com notes how Bottiglieri has “directed and produced numerous nationally acclaimed films, commercials, and music videos since he was 15” and been named in Variety as an up-and-coming filmmaker. Bottiglieri has found that many young directors with limited budgets don’t take into account lack of resources, or consider how they can utilize scarce resources. “It is about being able to rely on people and to trust your cast and crew and people you have to bring your mission,” he said. Filming in Dallas helped him achieve that mission.

DOOLITTLE RAID REENACTMENT PLANNED

Wings Over Dallas WWII Airshow celebrates history, planes “This is the kind of history lesson you can’t read in a book or watch on a screen.” Paul Koch See more than 80 World War II-era aircraft from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Oct. 6–8 during a Commemorative Air Force show at Dallas Executive Airport. After drawing more than 19,000 visitors from 32 states in 2016, the CAF Wings Over Dallas WWII Airshow, presented by Frost Bank, returns with more flying demonstrations, battle reenactments,

KEVINHONG

The Commemorative Air Force keeps vintage planes in flying condition.

WWII veteran appearances, living history encampments, hands-on family activities, aircraft rides, and cockpit tours. “Last year’s event was the first airshow held in Dallas for more than 30 years and proved wildly popular with families and history enthusiasts,” CAF President Stephan C. Brown said. Plans include a 75th anniversary commemoration of the Doolittle Raid, the U.S. counterattack on Japan after Pearl Harbor, organizers said. The flying reenactment will combine eight B-25 bombers, spectacular pyrotechnics, sound effects, and narration. The guest of honor will be Texan Dick Cole, who at age 101 is the last surviving Doo-

little Raider. “This is the kind of history lesson you can’t read in a book or watch on a screen,” said Paul Koch, Dallas region president for Frost. Other planes at the show will include a B-29 Superfortress, B-24 Liberator, P-51 Mustang, P-40 Warhawk, Vought F4U Corsair, Bell P-39 Airacobra, and two B-17 Flying Fortresses. The Commemorative Air Force, headquartered at Dallas Executive Airport, has become the world’s largest flying museum, with a fleet of 165 airplanes supported by 11,000 volunteer members.

Unplug For Vacation? No Way “It would take the Amazon jungle instead of Santa Fe, New Mexico, to go unplugged.” LEN BOURLAND My goal this summer was to beat the heat, to unplug, and to have some refreshment and “re-creation” in New Mexico, but despite my best efforts to limit technology, it just can’t be done. It would take the Amazon jungle instead of Santa Fe, New Mexico, to go unplugged. Upon arrival in Santa Fe, I found myself at Target buying a new gizmo, the Tile, to hang on my keys so that my phone could

ring my only pair, which I kept misplacing. Score one for technology. Most of my reading I did on books downloaded to my tablet because it was easier than hauling cumbersome paper books. Another bull’s-eye for technology. I was, however, determined to avoid the constant barrage of “breaking news” delivered ad nauseam in strident, alarming tones. But even on a remote hiking trail in the hills of Sangre de Cristo, some jerk was running with his phone blaring out the news. People were discussing world events at restaurants; the TVs were on in bars; the

grocery stores filled with newspaper headlines. I used my iPhone to keep in touch with family and friends and repeated alerts popped up letting me know O.J. was back in the news, the healthcare bill was still a mess, North Korea was still doing nuclear saber-rattling, and Russia was still in the background and foreground. I remember that when I was a child, whenever my parents turned on the news it was about as exciting as watching paint dry. The 15-minute news hour was sandwiched between the Mickey Mouse Club and Leave it to Beaver. John Cameron Swayze would read off events of the day, which usually featured a colonial uprising, something about Communism, and film clips of Ike. Segments would be interspersed with Swayze pitching his sponsor, Timex Watches. Segue to today. We start the day with “breaking” news from angry commenta-

tors, while furiously peddling our stationery bikes at the gym. News alerts on our phones pepper our days. At dusk, moussed and coiffed celebrity anchors whose fashions and private lives are as much a part of the news as the infotainment being dispersed, recap events while breathlessly teasing us with “what’s ahead.” For many, signoff is a late-night talk show, which features more politics and commentary on not only what’s happening but also what’s being tweeted. It’s nonstop and it’s exhausting. We live longer but not necessarily better, have more information without more wisdom, more affluence without more contentment. I wish we could go back to 15 minutes of news by sonorous newscasters. Like those Timex watches he hawked, somehow with Swayze, we knew the world could “take a licking and keep on ticking.” Len Bourland, author and columnist, can be reached at len@lenbourland.com.

People Newspapers IF YOU GO What: Dallas Private School Preview When: 1 to 3 p.m. Sept. 10 Where: The Hockaday School, 11600 Welch Road

The Dallas Private School Preview offers North Texas parents and students opportunities to meet with representatives from more than 100 private day and boarding schools. “I encourage parents to come,” said Katie Townend Doherty, an associate director of admission at The Hockaday School, the host campus for the free event presented by the Independent Schools Admission Association of Dallas from 1 to 3 p.m. Sept. 10. “Parents sometimes get overwhelmed with the application process, but coming to this event will give them the knowledge they need to easily choose the best school for their son or daughter,” she said. This year the association is adding an activity center with games for children. Steel City Pops will be selling treats. The annual event is expected to draw about 750 people, many f rom Preston Hollow and the

Park Cities, and attract families with students of all ages. “We talk to a lot of parents with younger kids, preschool through middle school-age, as well as new parents,” Doherty said. “There is also a huge influx of parents with high school age

students.” Doherty answered other questions about the private school search process. Park Cities People: What are some of the common factors that help parents decide which school to send their children to?

Doherty: I think it is very important to visit school campuses to meet faculty and see classes, whether [they’re] co-ed or allgirl or boy schools. Parents also want to be assured the academics are strong and the community is the right fit. PCP: Do parents need to bring anything? Doherty: I would bring a list of questions for the admission representatives. I would also suggest mapping out which schools . . . families wish to speak with.

PCP: Why do you recommend private school? Doherty: Private schools offer smaller classrooms with dedicated and experienced teachers. They provide individual attention to their students, as well as extra help if needed. Private schools have more opportunities for students to explore their interests through a variety of classes. The college-counseling process is streamlined and personal and, again, gives them individual attention.

From Soccer to Wall Street, Small Enters New Chapters SMU professor taps business experience, writes novel By Sarah Bays Special Contributor SMU adjunct professor Clay Small has opened new chapters of his career several times, mostly out of a desire to have more than one act in his life. “If you’re not trying something new, you’re probably going backwards,” said the former pro-soccer prospect turned corporate lawyer, then professor, and, most recently, novelist. “I think that there’s opportunities galore for people my age to … do something that helps others and helps [them].” After the two-time all-American soccer player from Ohio Wesleyan University was drafted by the Dallas Tornado, team owner Lamar Hunt convinced Small to enroll again in school. Small graduated from SMU with a law degree in 1974 and went to work on Wall Street. A job with PepsiCo Inc. brought him back to Dallas. “When we were first in Dallas … we lived on Asbury Avenue in a little rental cottage,” Small said. “We got to know the area of University Park … and when we came back we didn’t look anywhere else. We knew we wanted to be in a community where most of the kids went to the same school.” During 30 years with PepsiCo, Small served as general counsel for nearly all of the company’s current and former divisions,

including Frito-Lay, Pepsi-Cola, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and PepsiCo Wines & Spirits. That experience and knowledge shows in Small’s teaching, said Kaylee Knowlton, a law student who took his classes in 2016, including one on General Motors. “Especially in the GM class, he knew a lot of the people that were involved in a bunch of the GM scandals,” she said. “He shared the real-life aspect of what we were learning.” Small’s experiences also play out in his first book, Heels over Head, which came out earlier this year. The novel, a thriller with legal undertones, is set in Dallas, with scenes at Javier’s and The French Room at the Adolphus Hotel. “None of it happened, but it’s all true,” Small said. He recalled a friend telling him, “Any lawyer worth his salt has a book in him somewhere.” But that veiled hint remained shelved for years until inspiration for a novel came in the form of a friend’s tattoo — it read, “I wear the chains I made in life; I forged them link by link.”

“The protagonist in the book is a businessman who was a CEO and loses his job … [and] gets a job teaching,” Small said. “I saw that I had a unique opportunity, because I was there all the time seeing the difference between the world of capitalism and the world of academia. It’s the friction of those two worlds that makes for interesting discussion and interesting fiction.” Small’s teaching career has taken him to Amsterdam and Spain, where he taught the Foreign Corruption Act. The dean of the Esade school in Spain, where he taught, made his novel mandatory reading. “We had a very vigorous discussion on either side about whether the protagonist violated the FCA or not,” Small said. “And if so, when did he do it?” Small has written throughout his life. His published articles cover the night he spent in Michael Jackson’s room, a butcher in New York, and meeting Andrew Lloyd Webber. But digging in and cranking out a novel came with a learning curve. It took him four years to write Heels. “The hard part of this is not necessarily writing this book,” Small said. “You get an editor. That’s when the hard part starts.” The novel was originally 360 pages. “My editor ripped out 50 pages, which were some of my very favorite parts, because the arc of the story wasn’t right,” he said. “It’s hard and humbling.”

SMU Flag Flap Ends in Deal

MODEL SEARCH BEGINS

9/11 display keeps spot at Dallas Hall Lawn By William Taylor Pe ople Newspapers

“This represents a landmark victory for the free-speech rights of the entire SMU student body.” SMU Young Americans for Freedom A student-led 9/11 memorial will go up as usual on Dallas Hall Lawn after a policy change regarding campus displays brought scrutiny over freedom of expression at SMU. Wording in the policy about SMU respecting the right “to avoid messages that are triggering, harmful, or harassing” drew national attention in early August as The Washington Post joined Texas publications and broadcasters in reporting on whether the university considered a 9/11 observance controversial. University officials first responded with a statement calling the wording a mistake and saying it wasn’t meant to apply to the memorial. “SMU apologizes for the original inappropriate wording that was used in the new policy on campus displays,” the statement says. “That language — regarding messages that are triggering or harmful — was added earlier in July and had not gone through the appropriate approval process.” The Daily Campus student newspaper noted that displays hadn’t met much re-

events, university leaders said. But an agreement SMU announced Aug. 9 allows student displays to continue at Dallas Hall Lawn and commits to working with students and their organizations to form a new policy regarding such displays. “ This represents a landmark victor y for the f ree speech rights of the entire SMU student body,” SMU Young Americans for Freedom declared on Facebook.

Berger Touts Experience

From Israel to Dallas, Diamonds Direct aims to make shopping easy Hannah Kirkpatrick

Amit Berger works to take the mystery out of diamond shopping.

arat, cut, color, and clarity: four little words that can strike fear in a young man’s heart, and lighten his wallet. Setting out to purchase an engagement ring, or any piece of diamond jewelry, can be a daunting task — one Diamonds Direct aims to make as smooth and enjoyable as possible. “Our environment is always relaxed, hands-on, friendly, and informative,” senior vice president Amit Berger said. Berger left the restaurant industry more than 20 years ago to join a company in the Israeli Diamond Exchange. The business had operated since 1956, cutting, manufacturing, and selling diamonds at wholesale to big dealers and privately-owned stores.

Eventually, he moved to the United States to run one of the wholesale offices in Washington, D.C. Berger and his brother Itay saw a business opportunity inspired by the high margins retailers were charging customers. “The concept back then of selling direct to the public was very new,” Amit said. “Today, the industry is very successful because of that.” Itay Berger spearheaded expansion into the retail sector in 1995 with the first Diamonds Direct store in Charlotte, North Carolina. After the first store opened, Amit Berger continued working in wholesale. By 2004, Diamonds Direct was thriving and Itay Berger, president of Diamonds Direct, relocated his family to Charlotte. In 2008, Amit Berger moved to Birmingham, Alabama to open the second Diamonds Direct location. “I really enjoyed making the

change from wholesale to retail, because working with customers is such an intimate and personal experience,” Amit Berger said. The newest Texas store brought Amit Berger to Dallas last year. Diamond Direct’s Preston Road storefront was previously home to David Blank’s wholesale jewelry store, Diamond Doctor. Amit and Itay Berger met Blank through a mutual acquaintance. The Bergers wanted to expand to Dallas and Blank was pleased with their business approach and commitment to continue his philanthropic causes. Blank said the sale was unrelated to a legal battle with a Nashville attorney who had claimed Diamond Doctor over graded diamonds. After acquiring Diamond Doctor last November, Diamonds Direct brought the brothers’ expertise and a huge selection of direct-to-consumer-priced diamonds to Dallas.

HORNETS VOLLEYBALL CREATING BUZZ AGAIN Coach Deibert, Greenhill enter fall ready to pursue third-straight title By Todd Jorgenson Sports Editor

COURTESY PHOTO

All-conference setter Allie Frymire is ready for her senior year.

hen Tatiane Deibert arrived on the Greenhill campus in 2010, she knew it might take time for the school’s volleyball players to adjust to her intense system and high-energy coaching style. What Deibert didn’t realize is how much she would need to adapt herself to the high school game after several years of coaching college volleyball. The coach and her athletes met in the middle, however. Greenhill has thrived since then, winning back-to-back SPC titles with hopes of a third straight this fall. “It was a huge learning curve for me,” said Deibert, a native of Brazil. “I think sometimes my expectations were not very realistic. Now, I think I’m more aware of what’s going on with them.”

When she took over the program eight years ago, Greenhill’s once-dominant program had slipped a bit, consistently finishing near the middle of the pack in the conference following a championship campaign in 2006. Nevertheless, Deibert has led the Hornets to a combined 66-13 record during the past two seasons. Last year, the team won every match in SPC play, including the season-ending tournament, which concluded with a sweep of ESD. “We have girls who are truly committed,” Deibert said. “They truly want to give everything they can. We’ve got some great competitors.” In addition to that competitive nature, this year’s squad — led by returning all-conference setter Allie Frymire and dynamic hitter Michal Mathis, a 2015 transfer from Frisco Independence — has plenty of championship experience. The entire roster will be back, except for El-

len Margaret Andrews, team MVP, two-sport standout, and upcoming Yale basketball player. After consecutive titles, expectations have increased. Deibert knows the Hornets must remain hungry to stay on top, which is where the program’s improved depth comes into play. Middle school participation doubled during the past eight years. Plus, there’s been a surge in attendance at optional open gyms and conditioning sessions during the summer. “Those little things make a big difference,” Deibert said. “The kids are really buying in.” Having completed the transition from underdog to favorite in the SPC, Deibert said the mindset of her squad has also changed; they are focused squarely on the future. “It’s fantastic that we won, but we can’t rely on that,” she said. “We have to write our own story.”

Covenant Expects Boost From More Depth, Experience Knights seek more wins after 2-8 season By Todd Jorgenson Sports Editor

As the Covenant football program continues to grow, stability will be a key to progress. That’s why head coach Jesse Olvera is confident that this season will be an improvement upon last year’s 2-8 campaign in his first year at the school. After all, the Knights are just two years removed from a transition from six-man to 11man football, and had to endure a coaching change on top of that. The Knights suffered some growing pains in 2016 while playing a roster of mostly freshmen and sophomores. Olvera admits they had to take a step back to focus on fundamentals and implement their schemes. Injuries made matters worse, as Covenant finished the season with just

Jack Spangler is expected to settle in as Covenant’s starting quarterback after playing various positions last season.

14 players. However, almost double that number showed up consistently at summer workouts. Just four players graduated, and the depth issues that hindered the Knights last season are likely in the rearview mirror. “We’re projecting more this year,” Olvera said. “It’s about trying to build a culture of football here. Hopefully, we can continue going forward.” Olvera’s optimism is based partially in onfield results. Covenant dropped three of its TAPPS district games last year by narrow margins. Turn a couple of those losses into wins, and perhaps the Knights would have been in contention for a playoff spot. Jack Spangler will slide into the starting quarterback job after making an impact late last season as a sophomore. Like most of Covenant’s players, his experience under fire last season should benefit him in 2017. “He made strides every game after taking over,” said Olvera, who played Spangler at various positions a year ago. “What he can do as a quarterback is more beneficial for the team.” The Knights will have several two-way players, including Cole Sellers (running back and

linebacker), and receivers Alec Scully, Graham Hill, and Wes Bender. None of them are seniors. Olvera knows that avoiding injuries will be key if Covenant wants to earn its first 11-man postseason berth. So will a year of stability and chemistry. The program is still young in other ways, too. Subvarsity depth is still a concern, and Covenant’s home field still doesn’t have lights, causing the Knights to play all three of their home games on Saturdays.

Fashionable Philanthropists

n Dallas, fashion and philanthropy often go hand in hand.

The ladies will grace the runway on Sept. 15 in featured designer and guest of honor Zac Posen’s 2017 Resort collection. After three years under a grand tent in a

parking lot adjacent to Neiman Marcus downtown, the 2017 spectacle is moving back inside the flagship store. The notoriously sold-out event is one of Crystal Charity Ball’s two major events – the other being the black-tie ball. The ball, set for Dec. 2 at the Hilton Anatole, caps off the nonprofit’s yearly fundraising efforts. By that date, CCB hopes to have raised $5.8 million for se-

ootball games, ballet classes, soccer and track practices, parent-teacher nights. Backto-school schedules are demanding not only for children, but for parents, too. Add family dinners to the mix, and it can be a real challenge for any household. So what’s the secret to sitting down to delicious, nutritious meals now that summer’s relaxed schedules are history and the school year is underway? An arsenal of quick, family-friendly recipes and a bit of flexibility can go a long way to solving the nightly dinner dilemma without resorting to fast-food drive-ins or pizza delivery three nights a week. Add a touch of creativity, and dinnertime can become a cherished family tradition. A study by the National Center on Addiction and Drug Abuse at Columbia University demonstrated how critical dinnertime can be to family health and dynamics. The study found that families who frequently share mealtimes expe-

“When cooking dinner each night starts to feel routine, it’s time to get creative.” rience a lower incidence of teen smoking, drinking, and drug use. But demands on young families can pose an ongoing threat to dinner gatherings. Gathering around the table each night was a tradition when I was growing up — one I continued from the time our sons were born. As they grew older and extracurricular activities took on greater importance, dinnertime

became a vehicle for staying connected as a family. It required flexibility in mealtimes to accommodate everyone’s schedules, but that was a minor inconvenience in exchange for the time we spent together. These meals provided opportunities to celebrate moments great and small, from the first day of school to the completion of a school project to every minor holiday on the calendar. Using family-favorite recipes, seasonal place settings, and simple table decorations, I took advantage of every trick up my sleeve to ensure our family looked forward to nightly dinners around the table. When cooking dinner each night starts to feel routine, it’s time to get creative. Perk up mealtimes with inexpensive placemats and napkins in seasonal colors. For variety, pair these with decorative accessories or clever containers of fresh flowers from your garden or supermarket. Menu themes like “Meatless Monday” can also inject a sense of fun into weekday meals. Change the status quo with an occasion-

al Italian night, Tex-Mex Tuesday, dinner-at-the-beach night, indoor picnics, Friday in France, or cowboy cookin’ to make dinnertime fun for everyone, especially when accompanied by theme music, place cards, or accessories. One of my family’s favorite meals centers around my recipe for Southwestern Casserole — a mouthwatering, savory Tex-Mex ground-beef recipe served with flour tortillas, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. This nutritious, make-your-own soft-taco recipe is quick and easy for the cook, and makes dinnertime fun for kids of all ages. Served straight from the skillet or baked in a large casserole dish and topped with melted cheese, this recipe from my first cookbook, The Family Table, will probably become a favorite on your dinner table, too! Christy Rost is an author of three cookbooks, a public television chef on PBS stations, and a longtime resident of the Park Cities and Preston Hollow.

DIRECTIONS: Sauté meat and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the meat is brown and the onion has softened. Drain the fat, reduce the heat to low, stir in garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Pour in salsa and tomato sauce, and stir to mix. Add kidney beans, ¼ cup of the shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips, and stir well. Cook the mixture until it’s hot and bubbly. Serve immediately or spoon into a casserole dish, garnish with remaining cheese, and cover. Casserole may be baked immediately or chilled several hours or overnight. Shortly before serving, bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it’s hot and bubbly. To serve, spoon casserole into warm flour tortillas, garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream, fold in half, and enjoy. YIELD: Six to eight servings

We’re Going Downtown Dallas Farmers Market offers something for everyone

STEPHANIE CASEY Have you been to the downtown Dallas Farmers Market lately? The place has seen lots of change in the past few years. I follow the market’s social media and am even on its media list and somehow had no idea until very recently that the inside area (slightly confusingly named “The Market”) was so bumping with terrific shops and restaurants.

“The vibe reminds me of the West End Marketplace in the 1980s.” Since I wasn’t aware, I’m thinking maybe you aren’t either, so let’s get into the situation. “The Market” area I’m talking about is across the parking lot from Mudhen Meat and Greens, before you hit the outdoor covered “Shed,” which is where you may grab fruits, veggies, and associated products from farmers and other vendors. “The Market” looks very cool inside — each stand with its own identity and lots of seating throughout. The vibe reminds me of the West End Marketplace in the 1980s. During the West End’s heyday, the building housed a variety of shops, restaurants, and activities for all ages. All the Dallas Farmers Market is missing to complete the scene is interactive visuals and activities. When you walked into

the West End, there was an open-concept fudgery with employees using large tools to deal with gigantic slabs of fudge that would be cut and sold then and there — a fantasy confection scenario for any child passing by and most of parents, too. And we’d go to the recording booth station where you basically did karaoke, walking out with a cassette tape of your sweet “Rockin’ Robin” performance [sidenote: cassette tapes are back, the cool kids love analogue formats]. Anyway! Back to the downtown Dallas Farmers Market. It provides a similar experience as the OG West End in that groups can go and there is something for everyone. Everybody can get the kind of food they want. There are local shops with fun wares of many varieties. It’s also a great spot to take a midday meeting, sit with your laptop for a bit, or meet a friend for lunch. We’re talking killer tacos at Taqueria La Ventana, authentic Indian food from 8 Cloves, and candles in every scent at Abundantly Aromatic. Rex’s Seafood will toss you a yummy lobster roll or what some call the best fish and chips around. Everybody’s favorite Dallas meme shirt shop, Bullzerk, has an outpost. There’s an Italian coffee shop, Palmeri Café, which authentically gives you a sparkling water back alongside your espresso. Ice cream sandwiches, Tex Mex, beer, cheese, banh mi, popcorn, south of the border décor, and Joanne Bondy will package you up some homemade pickles and the freshest cooking stock you can find from her stall, Stocks and Bondy. Check it out. Take the fam. And your friends. And their fams. Follow Stephanie on Instagram and Facebook @lovageinc for more of her local exploits and 1980s nostalgia.

M O L LY N O L A N Dallas has some of the most beautiful women in the world. I applaud how well they take care of themselves to the point of looking 15-20 (or more) years younger than they are. The advent of Botox, fillers, and other technological skin advances partially account for this; but not entirely. Good products also help. A couple of friends of mine and I were recently discussing just this, and the guy in the trio said, “But do you know what people forget that tells your age?” We both answered, “HANDS!”

“All of these hand creams leave your hands feeling not greasy but silky smooth, a huge plus.” Ladies and gentlemen, just like your neck, your hands tell your age even when your face doesn’t, so don’t forget to devote some of your pampering time to your hands. I have a deep wrinkle between my hand and wrist that just bugs me every time I look at it, so I’m constantly trying to put cream on it to make it go away. I love Eos hand lotion (you know the little-egg shaped lip balm company). The ultra-soothing shea-butter lotion comes in three fragrances. They smell delicious. It’s perfectly shaped for a hand bag.

and Seaberry Oil. It’s called Seaberry Nourishing Hand Cream. The darling guy, Jared, who showed it to me said he had a client with drastically rough, dry, almost scaly hands. Jared gave him a sample of it and the customer came back to purchase it, because with just that small sample his hands had changed to hydrated and smooth. What a testament! Jared said it’s also wonderful for eczema and other skin-related issues. Seaberry Oil, which is extracted from a plant native to Russia and the Himalayan region and known for thriving in harsh conditions, is rich in antioxidants and omegas three, six, seven, and nine. Working with Vitamin E and several other ingredients, this buttery lotion revitalizes, protects, and softens the skin, adding maximum moisture to hydrate and promote smoothness while maintaining skin’s elasticity. La Mer hand cream is luxurious. I am fascinated by the creator Dr. Max Huber and his Miracle Broth™, a special blend of fermented, nutrient-rich sea kelp and other natural ingredients that heal inflammation. According to cremedelamer.com, “Current science suggests that long-term, chronic inflammation is the root cause of premature skin aging.” Miracle Broth™, the key ingredient in La Mer products, is coveted. It helps with sagging skin, firmness, age spots, and uneven skin tone. Natura Bissé’s Essential Shock Intense Hand Cream is formulated with 5 percent urea hydrofix, which traps water in your skin, keeping it hydrated for hours. It stimulates collagen and elastin production and helps prevent the appearance of age spots. All of these hand creams leave your hands feeling not greasy but silky smooth, a huge plus. Tammy Taylor, a powerhouse in the nail and beauty industry said, “Your hands and feet never get a day off, so take care of them.” I couldn’t agree more: Take care of your hands so they will look as young as you do!

Summer Housing Market Is Still Hot

The housing market in Dallas this spring and summer continues to be as hot as the temperature outside. Demand for Dallas-area homes is so intense that the average days on market is running at 30 days, well below the statewide average of 51 days, according to the Texas A&M Real Estate Center. The inventory of existing homes has seen steady improvement this year. Each month, the supply of homes on the market has increased, but the total supply remains a low 2.1 months. That is well below the six month average that is considered a balance between buyers and sellers, the real estate center states. The Allie Beth Allman & Associates team has enjoyed an exceptional spring and summer, buying and selling more than $1 billion in real estate with over 1,100 transactions by early August. “Our housing market over the last few years is extraordinary, one of the most active I have ever seen,” said Allie Beth Allman. “Homes that are well maintained and priced right move very quickly, making it a great time to put your home on the market To see all of the firm’s active listings, visit www.alliebeth.com

Know Your Architecture: Ranch

6530 Desco Drive, marketed by Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty From whence it came: “The ranch architectural style is like jazz and great cheeseburgers,” writes Karin Beuerlein on HGTV.com. “It’s an art form unique to America.” Ranch style is rooted in North American Spanish Colonial architecture of the 17th through 19th centuries: single-story floor plans, native materials and interior courtyards surrounded by a U-shaped floor plan. Low-slung ranch homes were first built in the 1930s — and by the 1950s, nine out of every 10 new houses was a Ranch-style house. Ranches embrace open spaces and the connection between indoor and outdoor living: The back yard is usually just steps from the kitchen or living room via sliding glass doors. Why it works here: Ranch-style homes tend to be easy to maintain because they are often made of brick, which requires little fuss. The roofs’ wide eaves help shade the large windows from the Texas sun. Where to find it: Today, Ranch-style homes can be found all over North Texas. Your Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty agent can find the perfect one for you.
