o I have small garden. I grow tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, squash, a few herbs, and blackberries. I haven’t actually done the economics on the amount of money I spend each year on my garden versus the savings at the grocery store. I don’t think I want to, because I’m pretty sure a financial planner would say it’s not a great investment. Sure, I spend time watering and weeding and fending off the bugs and varmints and my dog, Beau (he likes tomatoes), but all of that is worth it, because there’s a certain amount of satisfaction I gain from eating things that I’ve grown. A couple of coworkers challenged each other and me to a tomato-growing contest; this was their first foray into growing tomatoes. I don’t consider myself too competitive, but I remember thinking, “amateurs, I got this.” But when one of the other ladies came to work with her first tomato before mine came in, I was bummed. I was later vindicated when I had a single-days’ yield produce 22 cherry tomatoes, one bell pepper, three jalapenos, and one 8-inch-long zucchini, all from a couple of raised beds. I’ve been called an “urban farmer” — I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I’m

not. Sure, I grow a few things, compost, and capture rainwater, but it doesn’t feel like a big deal. I bring excess veggies to work to share on occasion and people are easily impressed. They ask me what I grow and how big my garden is and if it’s a lot of work. I share the information and encourage others to start a garden. I hope you will consider it, especially if you have kids; it’s a great way for them to make the connection to what’s on the dinner table, and besides, it’s a good excuse to get a little grungy, which most kids love. I hope my coworkers got a sense of satisfaction with their experience and that they will come back in the fall or next year with a new challenge.

S C H O O LS Holy Trinity Looks to History For Centennial By Sarah Bennett
P I V O TA L M O M E N T S
People Newspapers Amid interior renovations, Holy Trinity Catholic School prepares to celebrate its 100th year of teaching children in the Vincentian tradition. Principal Jill Fallon has just completed her first year at the campus after garnering experience at Christ the King Catholic School and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School. She knows it’s a special time to jump in. “I can make the analogy between my coming here and a brand-new mayor on the cusp of the Olympics,” Fallon joked. A number of events are planned to celebrate the anniversary, starting with a back-toschool picnic on Aug. 23. After that, it’s high tea at the Adolphus Hotel on Oct. 10, the “platinum party” on Oct. 11 (also at the Adolphus), and the 100th anniversary mass and brunch on Oct. 12 — the school’s original, founding date. “What I’m mainly looking forward to is the gathering of folks,” said Father Don Ours, who has overseen the parish for three years. “People are coming back for the celebrations to honor what was, as much as what is.” In the Vincentian tradition, there’s a major emphasis on charity, per the heritage of St. Vincent de Paul. As an example of this, the school will implement “100 random acts of kindness” during the next school year to celebrate the centennial. Its small size — right now, total enrollment is about 160 stu-

Students, faculty, and staff from Holy Trinity Catholic Church celebrated the centennial recently with a “100” balloon display on their campus.

It’s a very nurtur-
ing environment.” And creating a nurturing environment has been a goal from the start. Sisters Clare Hoch and Mary Michael Ryan were the first two Daughters of Charity to staff the school in 1914. Originally, it was no more than a two-room, wooden building purchased from the Highland Park school board and moved to Holland Avenue. It served just 32 children at first. In 1925, the “Little Red School House” was built just behind the sisters’ residence, where the rectory now stands on Oak Lawn Avenue. During the late 1940s, Father Michael Dillon knew the cam-

pus needed more room, so he started planning renovations. Unfortunately, he did not live to see them completed, and Father Thomas Stanton carried out the plans in 1947. Again in the 1950s, more renovations were planned. Father Charles Cannon helped the school add new classrooms, locker rooms, assembly rooms, and more in 1956. Today, the renovations continue to enable the growth of the school and make sure the facilities are tech-friendly as well as eco-friendly. However, the school will keep its traditional aesthetic, as evident from the old, wooden cabinets in some of the original
classrooms. “We have to honor the architecture that we have and celebrate it,” Ours said. “At the same time, we can retrofit for the smart boards and computers and iPads and anything else that the kids need to use to be prepared for the modern education environment.” Nuns from the Daughters of Charity vacated the classrooms of Holy Trinity in 1987, but that doesn’t mean the campus is lacking in any way. “There is a spirit here that unites us as a community,” Fallon said. “It is truly the people that make the difference.” Email sarah.bennett@ peoplenewspapers.com
“Our students just loved it and they immediately saw the impact they were making,” said Sally Rosenberg, Greenhill’s director of community service and service learning. “This particular school is a model for what can be done in DISD. This is the way it should be done. It’s the perfect storm.” The staff at Gooch focused on data-driven instruction, feedback and observation, as well as heightened academic and behavioral expectations from students. Last year’s reading scores were at 38 percent, so
a large part of the new curriculum focused on improving reading and writing skills. Bujanda is proud of her students’ accomplishments this year, but she has big plans for them that reach beyond their elementary education. “It’s about creating leaders who are going to challenge the status quo and create a better society and world in the end,” Bujanda said. “Thank you to everybody who helped us get here, and it will only get better.” Email editorialassistant@ peoplenewspapers.com
New Principal Helps Gooch Students Shine By Claire Kelley
People Newspapers It’s 9 a.m. on a Friday in June at Gooch Elementary School. Students have left the building for the summer, but principal Martha Bujanda remains in the quiet, empty school, whose hallways are decorated with colorful “WELCOME” banners made out of construction paper. She’s finishing up some last-minute paperwork, pleasantly worn out after her successful first year at Gooch. In just one year, the students im-
proved 19 percent overall in reading, 17 percent in math, 15 percent in science, and 51 percent in writMartha ing on the latest Bujanda STAAR exam. Bujanda was brought in by Dallas ISD Superintendent Mike Miles in January 2013 and is part of a new class of principals who have been trained at Teaching Trust, a hands-on organization that partners with SMU, its Cox School of Busi-
ness, and the George W. Bush Presidential Center to provide educators with real-world experience. “It was a critical component of everything that we’ve been doing,” Bujanda said. “It played a huge role in us being able to accomplish what we accomplished here this year.” Also contributing to the efforts to improve test scores at Gooch were students from St. Mark’s, Hockaday, and Greenhill, who volunteered their Saturdays and spring breaks to help tutor Gooch scholars.

Robotics Project Takes Flight For ESD Students By Paige Skinner
Special Contributor While rowing on the ESD crew team, Alexander Eggers had an idea. He saw the crew team using remote-controlled “quadcopters” with a GoPro camera to follow boats on the water and track their movement. “I thought, ‘we could try to make one of those, but make it completely autonomous, so no one has to control it,’” Eggers said. “So that’s where the idea came from.” From there, Eggers and two other ESD students presented the autonomous aerial-tracking project to their computer science teacher, Deb Goudy. Now completed, seniors Eggers and Renner Brown will present a paper on the system at the Global Conference on Educational Robotics, which runs July 30-Aug. 3 in Los Angeles. Third project member, Michael McCrory, graduated in May.
Brown said they worked on the project for the entire school year. “[Goudy] tried to get us to do bookwork, but we just focused all of our attention on this instead,” Brown said. The three teenagers have had some issues with the project, from using a wrong computer to control the drone to frying one of the processing boards. Donna Hull, head of Upper School at ESD, said failures are a part of creating something great. “They’ve had some successful failures,” she said. “And I think that’s important because they learn from what doesn’t work.” The computer science class is one step above an AP class, so only three students are enrolled. Because of this, the students are able to study more independently. “We’re doing a lot of learning on the fly,” Eggers said. “We came into this really knowing not much about what we were

Sandra Hall-Chiles leads a summer workshop for journalism students in Dallas.
Journalism Teacher Inspires Students in Digital Age By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers Journalism teacher Sandra Hall-Chiles may have just finished her inaugural year at the Episcopal School of Dallas, but she’s no rookie. The veteran teacher has nearly 40 years of experience at various campuses, and a tendency to leave students with inspiration and awards at each one. “It was a challenge because anytime you change schools, you try to incorporate that culture into your educational philosophy,” she said of her first year at ESD. After all, she was following in some great footsteps. Barbara Meier, who died of breast cancer, had taught there for roughly 30 years and was beloved by students. “She was the only adviser the program had ever had. She was an amazing teacher and incredible person,” Chiles said. “When I stepped in, there was a lot of opportunity to change and create a more modern or contemporary practice of journalism.” Before joining ESD, Chiles taught at Highland Park High School for eight years, Yavneh Academy for seven, and the School for the Talented and Gifted before that. Altogether, she’s been at six campuses. With that kind of repertoire, it’s no surprise that she’s learned what’s most important when teaching students an evolving skill. “One of the most important things in Internet culture is that there’s so much information out there. You can Google anything and get a wide range of responses,” she said. “How do we filter and know which ones are responsible and which represent opinion? The need for people trained in ethics is more important than ever.” That’s something many of her former
students value, as well. “I ended up in the journalism program there because I had been playing football and decided I didn’t want to do that, so I signed up on a whim,” said HPHS graduate Josh Davis, a digital editor at WFAA-TV (Channel 8). “Her influence completely changed my life and my career plan.” Among other things, Chiles values the teamwork skills students learn in the journalism classroom. Her students also frequently take home awards at statewide UIL tournaments, but Chiles won’t take the credit. “Awards are wonderful and incredible things but I’m not the one that wins those — my students are,” she said. “When my kids win awards, nobody is more proud than I am.” Over the years, Chiles has racked up a few awards of her own, including the Gold Key from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 2004 and the Edith Fox King Award in 1994. But not only does she love teaching students, she loves learning herself, whether from a summer workshop or the teenagers she sees everyday. “Writing is a skill that’s going to serve you whether you become a journalist or not,” she said. “[My students] opened doors for me. Even at 59, it’s fun to have doors opened.”

Owner Tom Ruggeri checks on guests after their tableside meals have been served to ensure their dining experience is top-notch.
By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers Restaurant patrons looking to turn back the clock to a more glamorous era of dining should look no further than Ruggeri’s in Preston Royal Southwest. Once a week, the restaurant has started offering classic, fine-dining options on rolling carts such as chateaubriand, rack of lamb, and strawberries flambe. The Thursday-night experience causes many diners to remember a time gone by. “Back then, waiters wore tuxedos,” owner Tom Ruggeri said. “My customer base is of that era and they miss it.” The New Jersey native was in a doo-wop band called the Prince-Tones, danced in an episode of “American Bandstand,” and worked in a kitchen in Long Island before moving to Dallas in the 1960s, where he intended to open a pizzeria with his brother, Bob, and cousin, Phil Vaccaro. Instead, he worked his way up from busboy to waiter, sommelier, assistant manager, and general manager at his cousin Mario Vaccaro’s restaurant — aptly named Mario’s — over a period of 20 years. Ruggeri first opened his own restaurant in 1985. “I was always an ambitious kid,” he said. “My mother and grandmother taught me how to cook. I know good food and what it’s supposed to taste like.”
After building the restaurant’s reputation at a few different locations, he moved into the Preston Royal spot in 2006. “Gosh, I wish he had been there all along,” shopping-center owner Robert Mitchell said. Mitchell himself is a lifelong Preston Hollow resident. He remembers driving back and forth to Hillcrest High School on a tractor from his parents’ nearby farmland. So it’s no surprise that the bygone-era ambience of the restaurant appeals to him. “He brought the very best waiters,” he said of Ruggeri. “Some of those guys had been with him since the heyday of Mario’s. He brought the best and opened with a bang.” Ruggeri counts Ray Hunt, Mayor Mike Rawlings, and the late Harold Simmons among some of his highest-profile patrons. Over the years, the restaurant has also welcomed some broader-based celebrities such as Larry Hagman, Mickey Mantle, and Charlton Heston, to name a few. But the faces that mean the most to Ruggeri are those of his mother and father, whose individual portraits still hang in various rooms of the restaurant, watching over him as he concocts Caesar salads and slices meat at his patrons’ tables. “Everything is personal,” he said. “We’re Italian — that’s just normal.” Email sarah.bennett@ peoplenewspapers.com

Salon Celebrates 15 Years of Style Duo focused on business savvy to grow By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers As of this fall, Osgood-O’Neil salons have been coiffing the heads of local residents for 15 years. That kind of sustainability is thanks to the business-minded savvy of Bruce Osgood and Allane O’Neil. Allane O’Neil “Generally what happens is you become a very busy stylist, and you think it’s time to open up a salon,” Osgood said. “Right from the beginning, we saw that you have to put people in the right positions.” Not only do you need the right team of owners, stylists, and managers, you need the right locations. First came Snider Plaza in 1998, then Knox Street in 2005, and finally, the Lovers Lane shop in 2007. The business partners knew

Co-owner Bruce Osgood still makes time to work “behind the chair” — or in this case, in front of — and gives a client a quick trim. they wanted to be in the Park Cities for the clientele, but it was also convenient for them to have locations so close together in order to be visible. “I hate putting my name on the door if I can’t be there all the time. One of us needs to be
there,” O’Neil said. The two owners knew each other through mutual friends, and it didn’t take O’Neil long to spot that corner lot in Snider Plaza for the salon’s flagship. Osgood already had experience running a salon in India-
Toll Lanes Make a Quicker Commute Costly By Todd Jorgenson
People Newspapers What’s true in retail also is becoming fact when it comes to Dallas roads — you get what you pay for. And the hope among transportation officials is that many drivers in the area are willing to pay a premium to avoid traffic congestion and aggravation. The test of that theory is along LBJ Freeway between Interstate 35E and North Central Expressway, where the second phase of TEXpress Lanes opened in early July. For a cost higher than that on other toll roads in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, drivers can escape rush-hour gridlock and be guaranteed a speed of at least 50 mph. At least that’s the plan. That’s accomplished through sensors underneath the pavement that detect the average speed of traffic. A slower pace equals a higher toll, able to change every six minutes.

napolis, but when he decided to open shop in Dallas, he wanted to do things differently. For one thing, each stylist at the salon goes through a comprehensive training program run by the company. “It’s a pretty long process
here. You’re ready when you’re ready,” Osgood said. “We have a very specific curriculum now that is laid out for them and it’s step-by-step.” Education is just one way the salon tries to differentiate itself. Not only do stylists go through intensive training before they are able to take on clients, but the salons also host educational events for all staff throughout the year, such as bringing in industry-renowned stylists. “It’s inspiring. You get a little awestruck,” manager Sylvia Hoefelmann said. “They’re celebrities of the hair world.” Osgood feels that the focus on education has helped to foster a family atmosphere among the staff, leading to many longterm stylists. “We have some people that have been here 15 years,” he said. “They understand that they have a home here.” But employees aren’t the only ones who benefit from the salon having business-minded owners. Osgood has tried to make the three salons user-friendly in terms of walkable locations, valet stations, and unique décor throughout. “We’re careful about customer service,” O’Neil said. “It’s what makes us different.”

“We want to guarantee a level of service for those who choose to use the express lanes,” said Michael Morris, director of transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments. “Not only is this an important project on its own, but it’s an important project for the whole regional system.” The second phase of the $2.7 billion project covers the ele-
vated interchange between LBJ and 35E. The first phase, on LBJ between Central and Preston, opened last year. A third phase connecting the two is slated for completion in 2015. Eventually, plans involve an entire regional network of fluctuating toll lanes between Dallas and Fort Worth, funded through a combination of public and private means.

Snap Kitchen Focuses on Health Food By Karley Kiker
Special Contributor The decision to put down roots in Dallas was, well, a snap for Snap Kitchen. The Austin-based health food chain began serving tasty take-away in late July from its new home in Snider Plaza, and from a second location in Uptown as well. “We feel lucky to be in the heart of Dallas and across the street from SMU, and look forward to partnering with students and faculty,” said Daniel Helfman, Snap Kitchen’s marketing director. “We’ve already heard that the local community
cares about health and wellness, and we look forward to helping grow a healthy Dallas.” While Park Cities residents are no strangers to health-food concepts — Nektar Juice Bar, Number One’s organic offerings, and True Kitchen’s entire diet–friendly menu come to mind — Snap Kitchen aims to bring something new to the table: convenience. “Menu items are crafted to complement special dietary preferences,” Helfman noted. “That way you can recharge with a delicious, balanced meal whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-
free, carb-conscious, or anything in between.” In addition to offering premade to-go options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Snap Kitchen can accommodate advance orders — as long as you call the store 24 hours in advance of your desired pick-upand-dine time. The changing menu revolves around seasonal ingredients, meaning you’re sure to find new favorites every once in a while. Bonus: While most restaurants offer gluten-free options these days, Snap Kitchen has taken things a step further by almost entirely eliminating gluten from its

Think vegetable lasagna minus the noodles, meatloaf made with steel-cut oats, and “Devily Eggs” that nix the mayo and sub-in jalapeño hummus for an extra jolt of protein. Not sure of your greatest nutritional needs? A registered dietitian will be available in-store by the end of August to help customers make healthy decisions in — you guessed — a snap. “Snap Kitchen helps make healthy mealtime decisions a little easier,” Hinsdale said. “We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise on great taste for convenience.”
OFF THE MENU Chia and Date Pudding: This menu option combines “superfood” chia with almond and coconut milk, organic palm sugar, and chopped dates and almonds to create a breakfast that’s creamy, crunchy, filling, and 100 percent veganfriendly. Kale and Roasted Tomato Breakfast Bite: This vegetarian dish begins with a glutenfree English muffin that’s served open-faced. Kale, a roasted tomato egg cup, and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese finishes the veggie tale.

BU S I N E S S BR I E FS LU X U RY A PA R T M E N T VOTE POSTPONED The Dallas Plan Commission has postponed until at least October a vote on the proposed rezoning of a Preston Center medical building to accommodate a high-rise luxury apartment complex. The commission tabled the Highland House vote, at the request of both developer Crosland Group and a coalition of concerned homeowners, to allow for a land-use study of the area over the next few months. Crosland’s plan calls for a 22-story building — down from 29 stories originally proposed — with a maximum of 210 units and a parking garage that would consume six levels both above and below ground. Rental rates would run from $4,000 to $5,000 per month, with a long list of amenities. The plan has drawn opposition from area residents concerned about the height of the proposal as well as traffic and infrastructure effects on Preston Center.

TEXAS WINE WEEKEND Siblings Not Whining About Winery Family duo updates parents’ vineyard By Todd Jorgenson
People Newspapers Once they left, neither David nor Julie Kuhlken suspected they would return to the wine business. The siblings, who each graduated from Highland Park High School, subsequently worked at their parents’ vineyard in the Texas Hill Country in the 1990s, but didn’t plan to make wine the family business. “They went into it with the expectation that there would never be a winery,” Julie said of her parents. “We started different careers very far away. It just didn’t seem likely.” He graduated from Rice and went to business school. She graduated from Stanford and lived in Europe for a few years with her husband, Fredrik, who has a background in banking. But both siblings retained those memories of helping to launch a vineyard just as Texas wines were gaining popularity. Their parents were ready to retire. Suddenly, the idea of keeping the Kuhlken tradition alive didn’t seem so far-fetched. “For the next 10 years, we moved on,” Julie said. “We’d reached a point where it was the time to try starting this business.” In 2005, the Kuhlkens launched Pedernales Cellars near Fredericksburg. Their first vintage was the following year. “The timing worked out,” David said. “Every year you’re dealing with entirely new challenges. It’s never boring. It’s been great.” David is the winemaker at Pedernales, while Julie works more behind the scenes as the communications and design director. They have since assembled a staff of almost a dozen, but remain involved in the dayto-day operations. “We’re doing almost all of it, top to bottom,” David said. “There’s room for entirely dif-

ferent interests and skills.” The winery, which was finished in 2008, includes various tasting rooms and an outdoor wood patio to welcome visitors. David said that while he inherited the love of wine from his parents, he also educated himself through working at a co-op farm for a couple of years, as well as other wineries. He also brought in some outside people to lend experience and expertise. The Kuhlkens have since expanded the 17-acre family vine-
yard, located north of Fredericksburg, and it still supplies most of the grapes for Pedernales. But the winery also buys grapes from other vineyards throughout the state in order to diversify supply and negate climactic factors in the sometimes rough Texas terrain. The winery has won several awards for its vinification, with handcrafted specialties including Tempranillo among reds and Viognier on the white side. Pedernales is a “boutique”
winery, meaning its wines aren’t mass-marketed, and volume is kept relatively small. Still, some of its vintages are sold at Whole Foods Market and other retailers in Texas. “It was never a hobby. We were always serious about making commercially successful wines,” Julie said. “We’re developing along with the Texas wine industry. You’re seeing higher quality wines in Texas, and that helps.” Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

TEXAS WINE WEEKEND
Wine Getaway Makes Great Weekend
A
s soon as the thermometer in my car started reading 90 degrees, I was ready to flee Dallas — and quickly. After a 4.5-hour drive, and a friend and I were cooling off with local wine in Fredericksburg, where boutiques have been transformed into wine stores and restaurants feature local vintages. In the past 20 years, the area has become home to a flourishing wine community, particularly along U.S. Highway 290. Check wineroad290.com to see if your visit corresponds with monthly restaurant-winery pair-up events hosted by a collective of 13 of the wineries along the road. We started at Pedernales Cellars at 10 a.m. on a Saturday, which may sound early, but the lesson of the turtle and the hare applies when one is spending the day tasting wines. “We want people to enjoy themselves, but this is not a bar,” said tasting room manager Mike Igo. I don’t know much about wine. I know when I like something, and when I don’t. Luckily Pedernales was serving up plenty of “edutainment,” which starts with hiring people who know and love wine, Igo said. The tasting menu is changed monthly
ELIZ ABETH YG ARTUA and features both reds and whites. Don’t expect a California wine, said Igo, who once lived and worked there. Soil differences in the Hill Country produce more Spanish-style grapes including Grenaches and Tempranillos. Many wines on Pedernales’ menu and at the other wineries are blends of estate grapes and grapes from the Texas High Plains near Lubbock. After lunch in town, we went to Becker Vineyards, one of the oldest and most established vineyards in the area. Becker also grows fields of lavender in addition to acres of grapes. A $12 tasting buys you 6 tickets and a souvenir wine glass. We split our tastings and managed to try 12 wines. Our favorite was a perfectly refreshing 2012 Fleur Sauvage, a white blend with a hint of grapefruit. A close second was a 2012 Reserve Chardonnay

Becker also aims to entertain and educate, offering free hourly tours on weekends of the winery that cover its history and process. Our last stop along the road was at Hilmy Cellars, which is also a working farm and much newer than both Pederna-
les and Becker. Hilmy aims to have its first estate harvest in the next 14 months. Their wines didn’t show the maturity of those at the other two wineries, but it was still enjoyable. If it’s still too hot for your taste to visit the Hill Country this August, wait until October, aka Texas Wine Month. It’s sure to be a smash.

LIVING WELL MDs Give Clients Royal Treatment Concierge Services Cater to Patients By Paige Skinner
Special Contributor When Dr. James Pinckney was a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, one of his celebrity patients asked him to call their doctor close to midnight. A little hesitant, Pinckney called. After no fuss from the doctor, he wondered why just the elite had access to their doctor at all hours of the day. That’s when the idea sparked. In 2012, Pinckney founded Diamond Luxury Healthcare in Preston Center, part of a growing trend of concierge-style medical services. With memberships starting at $95 per month for adults and $45 per month for children, clients have 24-hour access to their physician with little to no wait. That’s including their cell-phone number and email address. “I think it’s the best-kept secret in Dallas,” Pinckney said. But Pinckney and his partner Dr. Anthony Lyssy, vice president of operations at Diamond Luxury, said being oncall is better than other physician jobs. “My family is much more willing to give me up for a quick hour in the evening time than for me to be at work until 10 p.m. charting every night,” Lyssy said. Pinckney said the average physician spends about eight minutes with their patient. Diamond Luxury spends an average of 60 minutes. The average physician has about 4,000 to 5,000 patients, while Diamond Luxury’s physicians have a maximum of 500 patients.
C H R I S M C G AT H E Y
As part of his comfort-minded approach to care, Dr. James Pinckney prefers to simply be referred to as “Dr. James.” It even says so on his business card. “We know all of our clients’ names, their families, their kids’ names, what they enjoy,” he said. “With doing that, it allows better premium care because we tailor their needs around their lifestyle.” And Diamond Luxury’s office isn’t exactly typical either. Using windows to light the beige-colored physician rooms with décor hanging on the wall, Diamond Luxury tries to offer a more soothing feeling for its patients. It has two physician rooms, as well as an operating room for small procedures. Pinckney gave an example of one of his patients being cut by a wine glass. The patient texted him a picture, met

him at the office, got stitched up, and was home within the hour. If he would have gone to the emergency room, it could have taken much longer. For Sharon Quick, the idea to create Park Cities Healthcare came after working with a patient with dementia. Six years later, the concierge medical service has two registered nurses, including Quick — along with 22 patients and more than 40 caregivers. The caregivers stay at a patient’s home in 12-hour shifts, constantly updating the RN with text messages, phone calls, and pictures. But Quick explained she is more than just a nurse.
She said she buys groceries for her patients, fixes sprinklers, and does whatever they need. “We handle everything,” she said. “Our caregivers are doing the cooking and cleaning and caregiving. Sometimes they’ll do the grocery shopping. Once a month, just to save my patients money, I’ll do a big-box Sam’s Club run and buy massive amounts of things and put it on the bill.” Quick and Pinckney agreed concierge medical services are a growing trend. “This is 100 percent the future of health care,” Pinckney said. “There’s no question about it.”

People Newspapers Angelica is one of many in Dallas’ low-income population, and at age 13, she found out she was pregnant. Now, five years later, Angelica has earned her high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and is working toward a nursing degree at the University of Texas at Arlington. Her son, Sebastian, is 4 years Jennifer old and already learning Ware to read. She owes the success, in part, to the YWCA of Metropolitan Dallas. “She should have been a statistic and so should Sebastian,” said YWCA CEO Jennifer Ware. Angelica was part of the YWCA’s Nurse-Family Partnership program, which targets low-income, first-time mothers. The mom is partnered with an registered nurse from the YWCA staff, who guides the mother sometime within her first 26 weeks of pregnancy until the baby is 2 years old. During that time, the nurse makes more than 60 home visits, at first making sure the mother and baby
are progressing healthily, and later moving the family toward self-sufficiency. “We didn’t make Angelica who she is. She made herself who she is,” Ware said. “We just gave her all the tools, resources, and support to be able to do that, and that’s a little bit amazing.” Ware has been with the organization since 2009, and from the start has been trying to get the word out about what it has to offer. Along with the Nurse-Family Partnership program, the YWCA supports Dallas women through its Women’s Health and Financial Empowerment programs. The Women’s Health program helps women who are uninsured or underinsured get mammograms, connect with health-care professionals, and get funding to seek treatment if they are diagnosed with breast cancer, which has been the case with nine YWCA women in the past 16 months. The Financial Empowerment program is the broadest of the three, and, among other things, includes a financial empowerment workshop series, individualized financial coaching, and a match savings program.

Ballet Great Instructs Students to Feel the Burn Dance class combines ballet, fitness By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers Park Cities Dance has been helping locals indulge in their artistic side for six years, but as of this month, there’s a new leading lady of dance in town. Margot Martin, a native of Richardson and graduate of Ursuline Academy, is returning to Dallas from North Carolina to teach “Ballet Burn,” a ballet-fitness hybrid class that’s already had wild success back east. “I started Ballet Burn in October of 2010; it’s my baby, or more like my monster,” she joked. After more than a decade with Carolina Ballet as a founding member, she began training in the gym following a knee injury. From her unique gym practices, she built a series of exercises based on ballet movements. “The class ended up stimulating what it feels like when
CONTINUED FROM 20 Stephany Coleman discovered the YWCA while looking for volunteer opportunities. She started out teaching the financial empowerment workshop and is now the YWCA’s financial education coordinator. “You really get the chance to see people’s lives change,” Coleman said. “You see people grow, and I think you grow as well.” The programs are offered at more than 20 nonprofit agencies in the area because of the lack of space at YWCA’s headquarters, which are tucked away in a 12-story office building. The organization is working to establish its own space in the community. The building will include a roomy corporate office, training and coaching rooms, a computer lab with Internet access, and more. “There are a few hurdles we’ve hit and we’re trying to figure out our strategy to get over that hurdle,” Ware said. “The best part is knowing that we’re all working together to help move women and families forward.”

Margot Martin leads her “Ballet Burn” class in Raleigh, N.C., which combines ballet with more traditional exercises. you perform, which translates to interval training,” she said. “Your heart rate spikes and comes down quickly.” When she retired from professional dancing in 2010, her “Ballet Burn” class took off, eventually, to seven different locations around Raleigh.
Feeling the need to move closer to her family, she began to look around for the right studio fit back in Texas. Enter Jacqueline Porter of Park Cities Dance. “She had written to me, and her energy pretty much jumped out over the Internet in her
writing,” Porter said. “I really liked her immediately on the phone, and then in person.” Disappointed with barre classes, Porter herself had been looking to develop or incorporate a more ballet-based exercise class to her studio’s curriculum.
“They use a barre, but are not dance-based,” she said of barrestyle classes. “I wanted one rooted in ballet with similar exercises.” Martin came to Dallas to teach a few preview classes in June, which Porter says were “packed.” “I only did it for two days, but already felt all the things you want to feel from a great workout. I felt myself stronger and leaner in two days,” Porter said. Martin will begin teaching free trial classes in the mornings and evenings during the week of Aug. 18. After that, participants wishing to continue will be able to sign up for various levels of membership. The classes will round out Park Cities Dance’s already robust course selection: the studio offers ballet, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, vocal, and acting classes, to name a few. “It’s just this wonderful collective energy that’s rooted in the joy of movement,” Martin said of teaching. “They just are coming to move and I love that. I love providing them that.” Email sarah.bennett@ peoplenewspapers.com

SPORTS Rowers Win Big at National Competition By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers Just because North Dallas is landlocked doesn’t mean its students can’t dominate in crew. Ask any of the athletes from ESD, Jesuit, St. Mark’s, and Hillcrest High School who participated and placed in the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships this summer. “As a team, it was wonderful,” said ESD junior Julius Stener. “We all worked really hard for the last few weeks — and years — of our lives.” ESD had three boats compete at the invitational competition in Sacramento, Calif. Stener’s boat placed among the top five race times overall. “I didn’t know I would fall in love with it so much,” he said of the sport. ESD’s coach, Cait Dunn, is a graduate of the school herself, adding a unique perspective to her coaching experience. “I held onto what I learned,” she said. “I wanted nothing more than to come back to my alma mater and show them what my experience was like at ESD, because it was truly life-changing.” One thing all the schools had in common, though, was the hard work required to make it to nationals. “It was a great experience to represent our region and for our guys to push themselves to reach the next level,” Jesuit head coach John Fife said. Jesuit sent an eight-man boat to the competition held
E M I LY G O S S E T T
Members of Jesuit’s crew team perfect their craft. Jesuit sent one boat of eight competitors to the invitational event. June 13-15, which is open to club teams and schools. The team placed 17th out of 132. “I’d say race for race, this was probably our best year,” Fife said. “They know the work they put in [during] those winter months will pay off in the spring.” No doubt, that’s a sentiment shared by all the rowers. Hillcrest High School graduate Collin McKinney began rowing with the White Rock Rowing club team his freshman
year of high school. He and his partner, Robert Bolt, won nationals this year in men’s youth pair. “I was splashing water everywhere,” he said. McKinney will row at Temple University this fall. “It was very satisfying to know my hard work actually paid off and that for everybody who had supported us all the way there, we didn’t let anyone down.” Email sarah.bennett@ peoplenewspapers.com

Archer Aims to Spread Sport’s Urban Popularity By Todd Jorgenson
People Newspapers Those who own rural land have no trouble finding an appropriate place to stretch a bow and loose an arrow, if they are so inclined. For city dwellers, however, the options are much more limited for archery aficionados. That’s where Clint Montgomery comes in. The Preston Hollow resident is a co-founder and executive director of Texas Archery Academy, a nonprofit organization that operates two indoor rang-
es in the Dallas area, including a facility at Walnut Hill Lane and North Central Expressway that opened earClint lier this year. Montgomery “You used to be able to shoot in a city park before all the urban infill, but those days have kind of gone by,” Montgomery said. “We saw an opportunity. All the parks were moving away from the liability. If you like to shoot a bow and you’re living in a high-rise, where are you going
to do that?” Montgomery has been involved with archery since he was a child, and even was in charge of a few clubs before helping to start the academy after he became frustrated with the lack of urban promotion for the sport, and the dwindling infrastructure. The first TXAA facility was launched in Plano in 2011. The 30,000-square-foot building draws more than 3,000 visitors per month, ranging from individual clients to school and youth groups, corporate events, birthday parties, and tourna-
ments. TXAA subsequently opened a range in San Antonio that has proven successful. Then it started the Walnut Hill Range in an old 13,000-squarefoot retail space in January. “Growing archery in this area is a heartfelt effort, because a lot of people in the area don’t recognize it as a sport,” said Tony Fontana, a coach in the USA Archery program who co-founded TXAA. “It’s been a slow turn, but the community has definitely come out in droves.” The academy holds community outreach classes for archers of all ages and skill levels in an
effort to boost the popularity of the sport, from target archery to bowhunting. “I’ve never met anybody who didn’t want to shoot a bow,” Montgomery said. “Once they start doing it, they realize it’s so much fun. On many different levels, there are different rewards that they find.” For children, those benefits include teaching discipline, patience, focus, and responsibility, according to Montgomery. “They start shooting and they develop self-confidence,” he said. “Archery teaches you a lot about yourself.”

COMMUNITY Villalba Learns to Balance Business, Family By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers It’s been roughly one year since state Rep. Jason Villalba held an open house at his district office at North Central Expressway and Walnut Hill Road. In that time, he’s racked up a number of accomplishments during his term representing Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands. But the freshman legislator has also learned some lessons along the way. “The biggest surprise is really on a personal basis,” he said. “The time commitment for this job is great, and if you want to be good at it, you have to give more of yourself that there is time in the day. I’ve learned to be more efficient in my time at home, so that when I am home with the kids, we’re spending good, quality time.” With his family-to-service ratio balanced, he’s been able to approach many issues that are dear to Texans’ hearts. For one, Villalba has established himself as a pro-business leader. Villalba led the campaign to “bring Sriracha to Texas” when it became known that parent company Huy Fong Foods was facing complaints in its home state of California. Eventually the company decided to work through issues with local government. But should the company expand, officials have expressed their interest in doing so in Texas. Much of that progress is thanks to Villalba’s visit. “When I walked up to the plant, they were flying the Texas flag,” Villalba said. “They did this because of our efforts. That’s a big deal.”

Villalba is also working to enable Tesla Motors to bring a battery factory to Texas. The legislation required to do so hasn’t passed yet, but he hopes to continue along that path in the next session. But business isn’t the only issue he cares about. Following the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012, the father of three was inspired to draft legislation that would protect elementary students. “Some legislators talk tough on crime while campaigning, but then don’t show true grit in debates before the legislature,” Texas Municipal Police Association legislative affairs director

Lon Craft said. “Last session, Rep. Jason Villalba demonstrated his willingness and capacity to go to the mat during tough political battles to help law enforcement protect our citizens.” The Protection of Texas Children Act became law last year, allowing school marshals to patrol anonymously, similar to that of an air marshal. Family also inspired his work in designating May 24 “Lung Cancer Awareness Day” in Texas. During his campaign, Villalba’s sister was diagnosed with lung cancer and lost her battle not long afterward. May 24 was her birthday. “That was a very emotional moment for me,” he said. “My
time in the legislature was impacted.” Villalba said he stays busy attending book fairs at elementary schools, holding town-hall meetings, and making sure he’s in touch with the needs of the community. “To me, this is a very personal job,” he said. “It’s not about my ambitions. It’s about my neighbor, my sister, my children, the dads I see at the soccer games, or the moms I see work so hard at the PTA clubs.” This fall, Villalba’s office will hold district events geared toward elderly and young-family residents, covering topics such as Alzheimer’s screening and sexual-abuse awareness.

Churches: NDSM Benefits Outweigh Restrictions By Sarah Bennett
HOW THE MONEY HELPS
People Newspapers Since 1983, North Dallas Shared Ministries has helped those in need with food, clothing, medical, and financial assistance. But how those seeking help get approved — or not approved — for services has caused a bit of discussion among the philanthropic crowd. By its nature, the center works with clients in specific areas. “We do zip-code verification to get financial assistance,” said executive director Judy Rorrie, who has worked with NDSM essentially since its founding. “They have to live in one of the 20 zip codes that we serve.” From looking at the organization’s Facebook page, the fruits of their good work is evident: photos from charity events such as food drives with Ursuline Academy and the Episcopal School of Dallas abound. But there are also concerns voiced through reviews and posts to the page. One commenter claimed he was turned down due to his “debt-to-income ratio.” But Rorrie says no such “ratio” is used. “That’s a bunch of baloney,” Rorrie said. “You’d have better luck if you looked at our website [for eligibility requirements].” Though most of the programs offered by NDSM — such as clothing and food assistance — do not require income verification, financial aid does require it. “Because we’re an emergency aid center, there needs to be income, which is then verified,” Rorrie said. “If someone comes and asks us to help with July rent but there’s absolutely no way August could be paid, then we’re not really helping the client because they’ll be evicted in August and we haven’t been good stewards of our resources.” In some cases, those who are not approved for financial assistance turn to other charitable organizations for aid. “We are contacted by scores of people every year who are turned down by NDSM,” said Wick Allison, president of

spent the first 22 years of my life actively avoiding sports. It wasn’t until I signed up for the Blondes vs. Brunettes powder-puff football game last year, all for the sake of a column in Park Cities People, that I fell in love with the idea of playing sports. It’s true — I’ve traded my Christian Louboutins for a pair of Nike cleats (boys’ size fourand-a-half, thank you) and joined not only a few flag football teams, but also a kickball team and a softball team. But my favorite team will always be the Brunette “Bru” Crew in BvB, where we play for an amazing cause — raising money to find a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. This year there was a bit of a debate over which team I’d be playing for — as of six weeks ago, I was sporting honey-blonde hair and wondering if I would have to switch teams this year. But for many reasons, I went back to my roots, and will be returning as a cornerback for the Brunette “Bru” Crew. I’d also like to

add, from personal experience — blondes don’t have more fun. We’ve been working on and off the field to reach our goal — no, it’s not to win, though that’d be great — but to raise $400,000 for Alzheimer’s research, treatment, and awareness. This year I am playing to honor my maternal grandmother, Mertie “G.G.” Goss, and the Tims family. My
grandmother survived both breast and pancreatic cancer, only to pass away in 2010 after suffering from dementia. The matriarch of the Tims family, Kathy, is currently battling early-onset dementia. Alzheimer’s Disease has affected 75 percent of BvB participants, and our collected experiences ignite my passion for the nonprofit. While last year’s practices were filled with loads of follies (think jammed fingers and bruises, plus a lot of sore muscles and learning what a “blitz” is), this season I’ve been getting serious — which means I’ve been lacing up my cleats, working on my cardio, and attempting to practice interceptions. I’ve got a good feeling about this year — it’s time for the Bru Crew to bring home the win. If you’d like to come out to the game, you can purchase them at bvbdallas.org or on my fundraising page, active.com/donate/bvbdallas/margauxanbouba2014. Look for me on the field — I’ll be the girl in blue.

OBI T UA RY HELEN BOGICEVIC TERRY (1954-2014)
H
elen Bogicevic Terry died July 5 after a courageous battle with brain cancer, specifically, glioblastoma multiforme. Born March 14, 1954 in Dallas, Helen always had a smile. She lit up every room she entered and left a positive impact on everyone she encountered. Helen was a devoted wife, loving daughter, adoring mother, esteemed colleague, amazing “Go Go” the grandmother, and a cherished friend who will be truly missed by all those she touched. Helen graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and received her degree from the University of Texas at Austin where she was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. After college she returned to Dallas where she met the love of her life, Jeb Barton Terry. Jeb and Helen were married June 3, 1978 and made their life in Dallas where they raised their three children, Greer, Jeb
Jr. and Avril. Helen’s greatest joy in life was her children. Helen was a real estate agent with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty for 19 years where she received numerous accolades. She was active in the Junior League of Dallas, the Dallas Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta and parent organizations at Hockaday, St. Mark’s and ESD. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, Momcilo & Milena Bogicevic. In addition to her husband Jeb, she is survived by her daughter Greer & Vance Freed of Jackson, Wyo.; her son Jeb Jr. & Robin Ter-
ry of Chapel Hill, N.C.; daughter Avril & Trevor Rees of New York, N.Y. and her four grandchildren Emerson, Harper and Jeb Terry III and Reese Freed. Helen will be missed by her father-in-law Addison Terry of Washington; her brothers and sisters-in-law Tim & Kris Terry of Dallas, and Add & Nancy Terry of Angel Fire, N.M.; and her dear cousins, Michele Puddle of Surrey, UK and Adriana Batinic of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her family wishes to thank the incredible team at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke, the Duke Neurosciences team and Duke Hospice at Hock Family Pavilion for their tireless care and support. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Helen’s honor to The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke Attn: Ellen Stainback Box 3624 DUMC, Durham, NC 27710.

CONFESSIONS OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE
Heeding My Own Advice
I
’m a nervous Nellie. For every fun adventure my kids and husband pursue, I provide words, sometimes monologues, of caution to dissuade them from engaging in any activity I consider risky. I’ve warned that if they ride a roller coaster, they may fall out. If they bungee-jump, the rubber band may break, and if they camp, river-raft, or hike they’ll be taken hostage by gun-toting felons who lurk in the woods. My husband says that I’m a thrill killer. Aside from my outdoor-activity warnings, I also have a repertoire of everyday counsel I force on my family. Some of my favorites include reminders to down calcium for strong bones, never drink and drive, always wear glasses or contacts, and — for Pete’s sake — wear a helmet when biking! So what happens when I don’t follow my own advice? Most nights, my husband and I take a walk or short bike ride through the streets of our neighborhood. Preston Hollow is built on a simple grid that makes it perfect for these outings. About a month ago one evening at dusk, I suggested a quick bike ride. It was a simple pedal, so I skipped the helmet and contact lens. Like a pirate, I have one bad eye and usually find an excuse to avoid wearing the one lens. That night I had a glass of wine with dinner, but didn’t hesitate to mount up and get behind the handlebars. It was a mild evening and I rode ahead of my husband. It’s a rare day when I pump my short legs fast enough to get ahead of him. As we headed down Thackery Street, I realized that part of the street had been paved. The partial paving created a lip that was a magnet to my
CONTINUED FROM 27 nearly $200,000 in rental assistance and more than $51,000 in utilities to clients. That’s not counting assistance in other categories, such as food and backto-school clothing. “Our greatest financial support and food support and volunteer support comes from the churches,” Rorrie said. “We’re helping a lot of people.” NDSM relies on more than
M I C H E L E VA L D E Z front tire. Next thing I knew, I was down. I’ve always been clumsy. I sometimes fall when walking and blame it on a bad heel or new shoes. But, like a gladiator at the Colosseum, I’m back on my feet quickly. On this night, I was a 5-yearold child deprived of a favorite toy. I started crying, then screaming and refused to move as I lay prone in the road. My face had hit the ground and instantly I made a diagnosis. In a pathetic cry I chanted like an angry protester: “I broke my face, I broke my face.” My husband, who is annoyingly calm in the middle of any storm, coaxed me into getting up and walking home. It was a walk of shame for four miserable blocks. As I sobbed and intoned, I realized that my wrist hurt, too. Like a Broadway lyricist, I revised the chant and without missing a beat. “I broke my wrist, I broke my face,” played over and over as I staggered home. A few hours later, it was confirmed that I broke my wrist and four bones in my face. The only pain worse than the one in my head was the ache of regret for failing to follow the simple words of advice that I’d repeated so often to my family. I’m now on the mend, and while I’ll never bungee-jump for fear of a faulty band, I hope to ride my bike someday soon, this time in daylight, with a helmet and contact lens, but perhaps sans the wine.
500 volunteers, a staff of three, and only one paid employee. Yet even that volume of help cannot reach all those in need. “If they are only there to help people with a steady income, who needs them?” Allison said. “I would hope NDSM’s board and participating churches will reconsider this policy, which frankly I find incomprehensible.” Email sarah.bennett@ peoplenewspapers.com

HENRY S. MILLER SET THE SCENE Mogul helped transform Village into destination By Jacie Scott
Special Contributor In 1976, Highland Park Village did not embody the presence, fine dining, and shopping that we enjoy today. It was in a state of disorder. The grounds looked shabby, there was an odd mix of tenants, and investors showed little interest in the property. Until the Henry S. Miller Company stepped in. Rather than selling the property like they were Greg Miller originally hired to do, Henry S. Miller Jr. and his son, Vance Miller, saw great potential and acquired the land themselves. The father-son duo set out to revamp the image of the landmark by renovating, landscaping, and letting proper tenants. The company brought in Ralph Lauren, creating the first lease of its kind with a retail store. A second major move that was originally deemed controversial was the closing of the beloved Los Vaqueros restaurant to bring in Tex-Mex hot spot Mi Cocina. Miller Jr.’s wife, Juanita, had a large hand in this shift. Ultimately, the company created a venue with high-end retail and dining, but maintained the service tenants that served the needs of the community. “They turned the Village into a worldclass shopping center,” said Greg Miller, president and CEO of Henry S. Miller Companies and son of the late Vance Miller. “It really was a family effort. My uncle, Henry S. Miller III, and my aunt, Jackie Stewart, were very much a part of the project, as well.” To date, it is still very much a family business. Henry S. Miller is one of the largest full-service, independent, commercial real estate firms in Texas. In addition to Highland Park Village, Henry S. Miller Companies is responsible for Preston Royal Village and other prominent landmarks that have shaped Dallas. “Our story is the story of Dallas,” Miller said. “We watched our city grow into an international city. Likewise, our company grew along with it and played a big
The Miller family opened shop in 1914, becoming a leader in Dallas real estate.

part in seeing that growth.” Henry S. Miller Sr. launched the company in 1914, just one year after the founding of the town of Highland Park. It started as a one-man shop and grew into one of the most respected companies in the business with regional offices spanning six cities. It was the first to create specialty divisions within a real estate firm, offering a retail group, office group, industrial group, land group, and so on. Several prominent names in the local real-estate community began with Hen-
ry S. Miller Companies, including Roger Staubach and Virginia Cook. Sam Kartalis is proud to be in that number, as well. Kartalis began his real estate career with Henry S. Miller in 1974 before pursuing his own ventures. In 1994, Kartalis returned to the company as president and chief operating officer. He’s proud of the legacy that has been created by the firm. “The company has done so much in influencing the growth of Dallas and for

He took the reigns of the company in April following the passing of his father, Vance Miller. He believes his father’s most admirable quality was his “thou shalt not whine” mentality.

The kitchen is the only distinctly defined space in the otherwise open concept floor plan.
The glassed-in staircase allows for fluid movement between floors.
Dallas-based architect Richard Davis began his career designing modernist houses. Davis earned his graduate degree in architecture at Princeton under post-modern architect Michael Graves, who was greatly influenced by French master Le Corbusier. Davis and his firm, Richard Drummond Davis Architects, relied on his modernist teaching in their latest Preston Hollow house.

Summer Heat Cools Down Hectic Housing Market By Todd Jorgenson
PARK CITIE S
People Newspapers As Mother Nature turns up the Texas heat this summer, the local housing market has started to cool down. But that doesn’t necessarily reflect a negative trend for buyers or sellers in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow. It’s more of a product of the desire of homeowners to escape for the summer. “The more affluent areas of town have more people that go out of town for the summer, so they’re not as apt to be searching for property,” said Brady Moore, an agent with Dave Perry-Miller and Associates. “I feel like it’s finally starting to settle down a little bit lately.” Moore said the more relaxed pace to the market follows a feeding frenzy that marked the first few months of the year in which demand was generally high, and prices escalated to match.

sociate with Coldwell Banker Residental Brokerage, said high-end homes were selling over list price in the area more this spring that at any time since 2007. “It has slacked off some, but I think that’s more seasonal than anything,” Cammack said. “We’re still seeing extremely high prices, and the demand is
still there.” According to statistics compiled by the North Texas Real Estate Information System, the number of closed sales in the Park Cities spiked in June compared to the year-to-date average, and the number of active listings has increased considerably while median price has dropped. In Preston Hollow,

the number of active listings has gone up along with the median price for sales. “I feel like we’re starting to get more inventory in a lot of areas,” Moore said. “They’re hearing about people getting top-dollar prices and they’re wanting to get in on that before it possibly changes. There’s still plenty of compe-
tition out there.” Moore and Cammack agreed that despite the summer lull, it’s still a seller’s market, as long as the sellers remain reasonable with their price expectations. “The upper end has kind of slowed down,” Cammack said. “Hopefully we’ll still have the buyers out there this summer.” In particular, Moore said activity has been high among lower price points in both the Park Cities and Preston Hollow this summer. Meanwhile, inventory is growing among topend properties. “Buyers are willing to pay top dollar, but they’re not willing to make a lousy financial investment just to get something,” Moore said. Cammack said the housing market overall is showing signs of sustained growth consistent with economic progress. “With so many people moving to the area, I think it will remain like that for a while,” he said.

Developer Focuses on Urban Density in Oak Park By Todd Jorgenson
People Newspapers While it might be best known for large suburban subdivisions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, David Weekley Homes is thinking smaller with one of its current projects. The Houston-based company is nearing completion on Holland Avenue Villas, which includes eight detached townhomes on a property west of Dallas North Tollway, adjacent to the western border of Highland Park. It’s the sort of smaller urban project that Weekley has successfully launched in cities such as Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, but hasn’t tried much locally. “The bulk of our business in the Dallas area in the last few years has been new single-family homes,” said Phil Woodward, sales consultant for David Weekley Homes. “In a lot of other cities, we’re doing more of these in-town, higher-densi-
ty projects like this.” Woodward said the company saw an opportunity to fill a niche with the land in the Oak Park district, which has been vacant for several years. “It’s unique to that area,” he said. The three-story luxury townhomes each include three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with balconies and small backyards, along with a shared driveway. They average about 2,000 square feet and are selling for about $500,000 each, with no homeowners’ association obligations. Weekley already has sold more than half of the villas, with the first buyers scheduled to move in around the end of July, Woodward said. Construction on the rest of the project should be finished by September. Holland Avenue Villas will be the latest project in the developing multifamily hotspot that includes the Avana West Lemmon luxury complex re-

Next to the Weekley project, Lennar Multifamily Communities has submitted plans for an apartment complex split by
Holland Avenue between Cedar Plaza Lane and Wheeler Street. The Crest at Oak Park development is slated for two vacant blocks covering more than four acres. The northern building will have up to 160 units, while the southern building will feature up to 87 units, according to development and landscape
plans approved this summer by the Dallas Plan Commission. Meanwhile, Lennar is building two other complexes under the Crest name in Dallas, one south of Mockingbird Station and the other in the Park Central development. Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

Village Plans Changes, But Won’t Include Hotel By Sarah Bennett
People Newspapers Highland Park Village has no plans to install a hotel or underground parking. “We looked at it,” HPV president Ray Washburne said of both options during a recent work session of the Highland Park Town Council. “Economically, it doesn’t make any sense to do it.” As for parking problems, Washburne called them an “urban myth” and stated that any issues with parking generally occur around the Christmas holiday and other special events. Major changes that are coming mainly consist of retail or restaurant comings and goings. Safeway did not renew Tom Thumb’s lease, so an undisclosed, boutique grocer will move into the corner spot to face Preston Road. Number One will move to an interior-facing spot, and St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange will move down a spot. Hermes, which currently occupies the old Williams-Sonoma spot, will move back to its home and become
two-story to house more inventory such as furniture. Patrizio’s did not renew its lease, so the space will be converted to house another undisclosed restaurant of American fare. A doctor’s office above Patrizio’s has already been vacated to accommodate the new restaurant. “People always ask when we will be done with the Village,” Washburne said. “We’ll never be done with the Village.” Other changes are mainly cosmetic, such as adding ivy along Mockingbird Lane and “cleaning up” alley areas near Jimmy Choo and Patrizio’s to increase aesthetic appeal. Eventually, Washburne would like to replace the sidewalks — which date back to the 1970s — with brick. “I wanted, when you walk in the Village, to feel like you’re in a European town,” Washburne said. Members of the council said the “rumor mill” has run rampant about tenants that are and are not leaving the Village, or a “master plan” for development. An example: Deno’s and Mi Coci-

he process of producing the list of D Magazine’s best residential real-estate agents in the area started by mailing nomination ballots to 383 previous Best Real Estate Agent winners, as well as thousands of magazine subscribers and recent home buyers. We asked recent home buyers and subscribers to evaluate up to two agents they have worked with. We asked them to rate the agents based on customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication, negotiation, post-sale service, and overall satisfaction. We asked mortgage and title companies to nominate up to three real-estate agents they work with closely. And we asked previous Best Real Estate Agents to nominate up to three agents — one with their firm, and two outside their firm. We put all that data into an algorithm placing emphasis on feedback received from consumers, subscribers, and the recent home buyers. We then screened nominees to make sure that licenses were up-to-date and there had been no disciplinary action. The final makeup of the list is the sole determination of the D Magazine editorial staff. * D E N O T E S B O T H B E S T R E A L E S TAT E A G E N T A N D T O P P R O D U C E R

SPECIAL ADVERTISING CONTENT DAVE PERRY MILLER & ASSOCIATES
Haven Group Joins DPM&A The roster at Dave Perry-Miller & Associates has grown by more than a dozen agents with the addition of the Haven Group, a team that closed more than $75 million worth of sales last year. The Haven Group is led by Chris Pyle (pictured), a Waco native who has lived in Dallas since shortly after graduating from Texas A&M University in 1998. He follows in the footsteps of his father, Jim, who once sold real estate out of an office in Snider Plaza. With a decade of experience under his belt, Pyle formed the Haven Group in 2012. “I’ve always worked in a group atmosphere, and it’s been an integral part of growing my business since I first received my license,” Pyle said. “It offers new agents day-to-day training that is not available in most offices, and it creates a sense of accountability for a new entrepreneur.” Pyle said he’s excited about the benefits his team will enjoy at Dave Perry-Miller & Associates, from upgraded marketing and technology to the advantages that come from being with a firm that has multiple offices.
“It’s time to take another step for our group,” he said. Dave Perry-Miller & Associates (daveperrymiller.com) is an Ebby Halliday Company with five area locations that specialize in marketing the key areas of the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Uptown, Lakewood, East Dallas, and Kessler Park. Dave Perry-Miller & Associates is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio International, luxuryportfolio.com.
