Infrastructure Must Match Growth

t’s a great time to live in Dallas! We are growing by leaps and bounds with unprecedented opportunities to start or cultivate a business or organization. In this issue, we have features on startups, a new science center, and a celebration of our city. In our Business section, we have two Preston Hollow moms who got tired of giving the same old teacher gifts so they came up with JK Chocolate — chocolate sauces and now Microchip cookies — and have parlayed that into a successful business. Hockaday has a state-of-the-art new science center complete with a planetarium. Now that’s sure to advance the number of young women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. In Community, my friend Gail Thomas talks about the What Makes a City conference entitled Character & Calling, a discussion she led on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for our city. We aren’t the only ones that think Dallas is a great place to live. I recently attended the Dallas Regional Chamber Women’s Business Conference, and Dale Petroskey, president and CEO of the chamber, stated that 1,000 new residents are relocating to the greater Dallas/Forth Worth area each week. That’s evidenced by the more frequent traffic jams we all get caught up in. To be fair, I have an easy commute from my home to downtown Dallas, but nevertheless I get annoyed that others have discovered “my” route on Turtle Creek, which was once a best-kept secret. I do welcome all the newcomers and growth — after all, I’m a transplant, too. But I worry that our infrastructure is not up to par. Our streets are a patchwork of tar and

gravel and potholes. More disconcerting are our water and wastewater systems. According to a recent article in The Dallas Morning News, many of our water and wastewater lines are 60 and 70 years old, Richard Wagner, acting assistant director of capital improvements for Dallas Water Utilities, said when discussing an infrastructure project in east Dallas. Dallas Water Utilities serves more than 2.2 million people. “It’s a pretty big system, and it is a lot of water,” said Jody Puckett, director of Dallas Water Utilities. Dallas was built in rings, Puckett said. The closer to the city’s center a neighborhood is, the older its water lines. The city has a replacement plan in place with this year’s budget between $100 and $120 million for water and wastewater main replacements. Let’s hope that’s enough to keep pace with the thousands of folks converging here.

BUSINESS Tiny Pieces Make For Big Fun Mosaics please kids and youngat-heart By Jacie Scott

Special Contributor Smashing Times: the name alone is enough to spark an interest. But, like all things in art, the details draw you in. Upon entering the shop, you’re greeted by bright mosaics and fused glass pieces lining the walls gallery-style. The open floor plan allows for table space, creating a workshop for customers of all ages to create their own mosaic masterpiece, if desired. Artist Robin Oldham, sister of designer Todd Oldham, owns this gem, and it is conveniently located at the Preston Royal Shopping Center. “It’s one of those places in Dallas that you can’t find everywhere. It just makes the neighborhood richer,” said Laura Barnes, who currently fuses glass and does mosaic installations with Oldham. Smashing Times is a trifecta that adds even more fun to art by combining gallery space, studio space, and party space. The concept appeals to all ages, and it’s safe. The glass used in the studio is tumbled, so customers will not cut themselves. On any given day, the store could host a group of kids for a birthday party, with a wedding shower just hours after. Smashing Times will also work with clients to create custom work for corporate spaces and personal collections. “It’s great for dates, all events, and even team-building events for corporate groups. And you can just go whenever,” Barnes said. “There are a lot of options. It’s a great way to be creative and know that there is someone there to help you. When Oldham opened Smashing Times 15 years ago, she originally envisioned a beautiful gallery with pieces for purchase. But with time comes change. As more customers came in,

Owner Robin Oldham with campers Jackson Adams, Harrison Brown, Caroline Adams, and Margot Brown, show off their creations from Smashing Times at Preston Royal.

Oldham saw a demand from customers to create their own artwork. “Just by people asking to make things, the vision, within six months, quickly changed,” Oldham said. “The focal point became customers making things, and that’s been our primary concept.” The continued growth from then to now can also be attributed to customer feedback. Oldham has brought in var-

ious designs, projects, and materials based on her customers’ desires, including silver jewelry made from precious-metal clay. She also added camps offered weekly in the summer months for kids, ages 4 and up. Art has been a huge part of Oldham’s life. Coming from a family of artists, she cultivated a love for it an early age. Smashing Times is her chance to share her passion with the community.

The studio is open seven days a week. Walk-ins are welcome, and you do not have to be a Picasso to create. Oldham loves that aspect of her business. “It’s fun for me to watch people learn to create,” Oldham said. “People come in thinking they don’t have any artistic ability, and then I watch them create something great for themselves and enjoy it.” Email jacie.scott@gmail.com

Cookie Company is No Ordinary Bake Sale By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers When Preston Hollow moms Julie Tobolowsky and Karleen Kusin needed some cute teacher gifts, they didn’t want just any old thing. So they went to their kitchens and got busy. “The chocolate sauces became our signature gift,” Kusin said. “We said, ‘well, maybe one day we’ll bottle it and sell it.’ Then we got busy raising our kids and after the last one left for college, we thought if we’re ever going to do it, this is the time.” With kids at Greenhill, Winston, St. Mark’s, and Hockaday, there were plenty of teachers and friends to reap the benefits. Eventually, enough people took interest in the duo’s treats that the team was renting out a commercial kitchen space to produce enough edible creations. “Then, we were looking at a very labor-intensive project, so until we got our own facility, we weren’t really able to start with the cookies,” Tobolowsky said. That was the next step: secure a storefront on Lovers Lane and start selling their newest creation, the “microchip” cookie, alongside the chocolate sauces. Each cookie is roughly

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

Julie Tobolowsky and Karleen Kusin show off their cookie and chocolate-sauce concoctions. the size of an individual chip. “It’s our little trade secret,” Tobolowsky said. “Everyone that works with us has to sign a non-disclosure agreement.” Today, they ship orders across the U.S. and have received widespread attention. It’s no surprise, then, that Microchip Cookies are a hit for

all sorts of gatherings, such as birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, and wedding receptions. “I was looking for something unique as a parting gift. I especially loved the ‘JK’ because that was what my husband and I used as our wedding logo — Joe and Kathy,” Highland Park

resident Kathy Klingaman said. “I was shocked at how a tiny bite could taste exactly like a big cookie. As the saying goes, some of the greatest gifts come in small packages.” With their third anniversary on the calendar, the team is renovating their Lovers Lane shop in order to include more bakery

space at the counter and to better accommodate walk-ins and rush orders. The ladies also experiment with new flavors, but they know when to stick with something good. “We don’t have favorites,” Tobolowsky said. “They’re like our children. We love them all.”

UNITED WAY CELEBRATES SUCCESSFUL DAY OF OUTREACH

FOURTH GENERATION BANKER NAMED VERITEX BANK VP

Preston Hollow resident Jennifer Sampson, the president and CEO of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, helped kick off the organization’s annual “Live United Day” campaign on Oct. 1. More than 1,500 volunteers (1,200 of those from Plano-based PepsiCo/Frito-Lay) logged a total of 5,000 hours of good works. United Way is in its last year of a fiveyear effort to raise $313 million for the community. Sampson joined Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Frito-Lay North America president and CEO Tom Greco — who is acting as United Way’s 2014 local campaign chair — for a rally at Victory Plaza.

Park Cities resident Paige Nash has joined Veritex Bank as a senior vice president and business development officer. Nash is a fourth-generation banker with more than 15 years of industry experience. The University of Texas graduate previously worked at Dallas National Bank, which was purchased by American National Bank in 2008.

BURGER JOINT HOSTS FALL FEST TO HONOR ANNIVERSARY Gazeebo Burgers, Ray Heydari’s flagship eatery at Preston Royal Southwest, celebrated its 25th anniversary on Oct. 18 — fittingly enough, with a party. The restaurant held a fall festival featuring music from the April 1st Band, consisting entirely of doctors and led by Dr. Bob Schwab, the head of physicians at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen. In addition to music and food — including free cake, ice cream, and pie — the event also featured a patriotic theme.

CASA PRESIDENT RECEIVES LEADERSHIP AWARD Dallas CASA president and executive director Kathleen LaValle has been honored with the Athena Award from the Dallas Regional Chamber. LaValle previously was a partner at Jackson Walker prior to her transition to a full-time role with Dallas CASA. She had served on the CASA board of directors for more than a decade.

COMMUNITY Shakespeare Comes Alive For TJ Students Pros bring plays into classroom By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers You don’t often hear high school students calling each other “cankerblossoms,” but that’s what happens when Shakespeare Dallas enters the classroom. Thanks to a special grant, Shakespeare Dallas comes into high schools such as Thomas Jefferson to share the art of Shakespearean drama. Not only do the professionals act out a few scenes, but they get student volunteers up on stage and teach them a thing or two about diction, staging, and other relevant topics. “I tell everybody this is one of my favorite things to do,” from Julie Osborne Watts, education and outreach manager of Shakespeare Dallas. “It’s a catch-all introduction to Shakespeare.” As part of the 55-minute program called “Speak the Speech: Shakespeare and the Spoken Word,” Watts and actor Seth Magill act out a number of scenes on stage. The program follows a specific pattern: first, the pros act out a scene — say, the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet —

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

Left: Julie Osborne Watts and Seth Magill demonstrate Shakespearean garments; right: Jesus Sean and Adaliz Salazar act out a scene. then, they explain a mechanism demonstrated by that theme, such as iambic pentameter. Finally, a handful of students come up to act out an exercise and apply the lesson. “I like the way we got to participate,” junior Javier Salas said. “It’s fun.” And that’s just the point — getting the students to see the centuries-old texts as something more than just words on a page. “When Shakespeare Dallas

comes, all the sudden they see the play come to life and they’re like ‘oh, its a guy who likes a chick,’” theater teacher Rachel Harrah said. Harrah, who has spent three years on the Thomas Jefferson campus, saw the program grow from an average theater program to a full-blown theater company with 300 students. In fact, the group won more awards in UIL One-Act Play last year than any other Dallas ISD school.

GOP Challenges Democrat Incumbents By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers For the past year, all eyes have been on the race for state Rep. Dan Branch’s soon-to-bevacated House District 108 seat. Republican candidate Morgan Meyer defeated two other party hopefuls, Court Alley and Chart Westcott, respectively, in the March and May primaries. Leigh Bailey, on the other hand, has been the sole Democratic candidate from the start. With election day nearing on Nov. 4, candidates have been making their last appeals to donors, supporters, and voters. “We’ve got to do well in Dal-

las County, and it really starts with these core precincts,” Branch said at a Meyer fundraiser. Meyer is a Lubbock native and SMU graduate, while Bailey grew up in Dallas and attended The Hockaday School. “The best part of this whole experience is all the people that you meet,” Bailey said. In other races, Republican candidates facing off with Democratic incumbents seems to be the theme. Far North Dallas resident and former city councilman Ron Natinsky hopes to bump county judge Clay Jenkins out of his seat. Jenkins has recently been

in the spotlight for his efforts to house undocumented children in the county and to evade Ebola. Both have ties to the area in that Natinsky attended Hillcrest High School and Jenkins’ children attend Highland Park ISD schools. As for the district attorney race, Republican Susan Hawk hopes to unseat veteran D.A. Craig Watkins.

“I call it the ‘hidden gem of Dallas,’” Harrah said of the school’s program. And with Shakespeare Dallas’ help, that tradition will only continue. Each student that participates in a scene as a volunteer gets a ticket to a Shakespeare Dallas production the next season. “The kids love it, and they get excited about it,” Watts said. “For me, it’s been really inspirational that they’re enjoying it.” The students get exposed to

some of Shakespeare’s greatest and most notable works such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet. They work on elements such as diction (say, for example, “Shakespearean insults”), verse, costuming, and staging. “There are so many studies that say students do better and have a higher rate of going to college when they are exposed to things like this,” Watts said. “It awakens certain things in your brain.”

City Planning Pioneer Built Conference By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers To many around town, Gail Thomas is known as a dynamo and a pioneer of community development and urban planning. She is the president and CEO of The Trinity Trust and the director of the Dallas Institute’s Center for the City. A graduate of SMU, she received the university’s J. Erik Gail Thomas Jonsson Ethics Award earlier this year and is an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects. She has authored three books.

But one of her most prized projects is the “What Makes a City” conference, which she started in 1982. Its 32nd installation took place at the Latino Cultural Center on Oct. 23. “Since the first ‘What Makes a City?’ conference that Dr. Gail Thomas started in 1982, the Dallas Institute has focused much of its work on studying cities by drawing on the experiences of planning and urban experts,” executive director Larry Allums said. “We attempt to imagine Dallas from a fresh perspective, setting aside our sworn allegiances for a brief moment in order to consider new ideas, whatever they might be.” Thomas sat down to discuss the

Bluffview Artist Goes Big at Louvre Stewart Cohen might have reached the pinnacle of the art world with his latest exhibition. The Bluffview photographer’s work will be on display at The Louvre in Paris on Nov. 14-16 as part of Stewart the fifth FotofeCohen ver Photography Art Fair. The exhibition is being coordinated by Duncan Miller Gallery in Los Angeles. Cohen’s photos in the exhibition are from his upcoming book Innocent Bystanders. The images were shot on two continents and attempt to convey a visual journey. “This body of work stems from the off hours of my life as a traveler,” Cohen said. “Mostly shot at night, when spaces come alive, this series focuses on people and places in a way that emphasizes isolation and the mysterious nature of life.” Fotofever was founded by Cécile Schall, granddaughter of Roger Schall, famed French photographer of the 1930s and 1940s. The Fotofever Photography Art Fair takes place during the Mois de la Photo

community benefits of this long-standing tradition: How did you start the “What Makes a City” conference? When we started the Dallas Institute in 1980, we knew that one of our concerns was to think about the city and what makes a good city. To think about it not only in economic and development terms, but what is the soul of the city? What are those underlying elements that make us feel at home in a city? We really wanted to be able to convey in the title that there’s more to making a good city than the bones.

press the world around me. Creating imagery has allowed me to travel to places I could never have imagined and to meet people that I would never have had access to otherwise,” Cohen said. “Through this voyage, I have developed a voice and a style that hon-

What was your motivation for starting it? To allow the opportunity for Dallas citizens to think in a much deeper way about what makes a good city than just development and economics. Getting a job, getting a good education, having a good place to live, having access to transportation … all those are sort of the standard things, but we were concerned with deeper, underlying values. What do you look for in presenters? We look for presenters who are willing to take the time and effort to be very thoughtful about values, and so much of our culture is weighted by economic consideration. How are they chosen? We ask people who are involved in the community and try to get a diverse range to represent the diversity of our city from different ethnic cultures and ages and backgrounds so that we have scholars, poets, developers, and planners represented. What do you look forward to each year? I love these “What Makes a City” conferences. I love for people to gather together and connect with each other at the heart level and talk from a level of real yearning for our city to be the very best it can be.

Holiday Home Tours Showcase More Than Just Pretty Facades

Exceptional Homes & Prices

People Newspapers Home tours abound when the holidays come ringing. Luckily, with so many choices comes the chance to see a wide array of architecture and design styles. There are even a few with a cause. The New Friends New Life tour — which will feature four homes on Beverly Drive, Windsor Lane, Southwestern Boulevard, and Lakeside Drive — takes place on Nov. 23 and features something more than just good looks: proceeds go to the namesake organization, which helps to empower trafficked girls and sexually-exploited women. “The lives of women and children are transformed and families are restored because of the community support,” executive director and honorary chair Katie Pedigo said. Corporate and family sponsors include a few notable names, including Allie Beth Allman, Ashlee and Chris Kleinert, and Gail and Gerald Turner. Homes for the 15th annual tour were announced at a party on Sept. 18. Highlights include a “floating” staircase and an outdoor mural. “We are so pleased to provide a glimpse into four beautiful homes for an afternoon all while raising awareness of New Friends New Life and their mission,” event chair Brooke Kilburn said. Keeping with the charitable yet chic theme is the Dallas Woman’s Forum “One Enchanted Christmas” tour of the Alexander Mansion. The home, built in 1904, will be open for firstfloor tours Dec. 4-7, and will also include shopping and treats in the upstairs boutique, bistro, and bake shop. “This has become a wonderful holiday tradition for Dallas families and visitors,” Dallas Woman’s Forum president Sally Molinari said. Then from Dec. 11-14 and Dec. 17-20, the mansion will host a “European Tea.” Proceeds of the tour benefit the preservation of the mansion as well as Woman’s Forum charities: Landauer Child Care Group Center, Alley’s House, and the Birdie Alexander School.

The Arcady house is the first home in Highland Park to be slated for LEED platinum certification — its status is still pending.

But whether these homes help give back to the environment or the community, the organizers prove there’s more to a home tour than good looks.

Carolina Has Market Covered It’s hard to imagine a more energetic, enthusiastic Goodwill Ambassador for Dallas than Carolina Rendon. This Colombian-born powerhouse began her career at a young age investing in luxury highrise condominiums around the city. That passion quickly turned into a profession, and she’s now earned a solid reputation as one of the most savvy luxury home and high-rise specialists in Dallas – particularly among foreign buyers relocating from all over the globe. “Being bilingual has opened so many doors for me” notes Carolina. “I’ve had the privilege of working with all kinds of interesting and accomplished people – from diplomats to top executives of multinational firms.” Many of her clients come with cash and need to make a well-timed winning offer in this whitehot market, where properties often

sell before they hit the market. Carolina’s expertise in finding and negotiating the perfect property has made a huge difference for her clients – especially those with limited knowledge of our city. Armed with a BA in Business and an MBA in Finance (both summa cum laude from Dallas Baptist University), Carolina is tapped into what she calls “the hottest market in the country.” Her experience in the luxury condo and single-family market in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow have made her the “go-to” realtor for couples downsizing from larger homes and for families needing expert advice on schools and neighborhoods to find the perfect fit. “I love working with people from all walks of life. Dallas is being transformed by so many different cultures into this amazing city – right now there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

SPORTS Nady Teaches Football, Life

ROB GRAHAM

Preston Hollow native Scott Nady returned to his hometown to start the Parish program in 2003.

Parish coach embraces role as mentor By Todd Jorgenson

Twelve years ago, people thought Scott Nady was crazy. Why would he leave a northern California football program that he built into a powerhouse for a school in Dallas that didn’t even have a practice field? But Nady doesn’t often take the conventional road, so he moved from San Leandro High School in suburban Oakland to start a team from scratch at Parish Episcopal. “I took the job sight unseen. I hadn’t even seen the Midway campus,” Nady said. “Parish did not own a football or a helmet.” In the dozen years since, Nady hasn’t regretted his leap of faith, having become the architect of a program at Parish that has his own unique stamp of success. The move allowed Nady to move back to his hometown, just a few miles from where he grew up on Willow Lane in Preston Hollow and became a standout at W.T. White in the late 1980s. He earned a scholarship to the University of California, where he played in three bowl games in his four seasons. Nady stayed in the Bay Area to begin

Nady talks with receiver Xavier Suggs on the sidelines during a recent Parish Episcopal game. his coaching career, eventually landing the head job in a rough neighborhood at a downtrodden San Leandro program. During his final four years there, San Leandro posted a combined 48-4 record. Nady was ready for his next challenge. “Once we had built it, it stopped being as fun,” he said. “We had taken that program as far as we could take it.” When he started at Parish in 2003, Nady was practicing with middle-school players on a narrow patch of grass that didn’t have any lines. “We started running plays on it horizontally, so we didn’t have any play that was more than 17 yards long,” he joked. The Panthers went 2-8 in their first varsity season in 2006, but four years later, they won a TAPPS state title, something that had never been accomplished in such a short timeframe. Parish has been to the playoffs every year since.

Those results might speak for themselves, but Nady doesn’t necessarily view success in terms of wins and losses. He sees football as a vehicle for teaching life lessons. “We probably talk 80 percent life and 20 percent football,” he said of his dealings with players. “I don’t know if I’m a successful coach until 10 years after graduation.” Nady has his share of eccentricities. He can usually be found barefoot at practice, where he plays music and doesn’t use a whistle. He also doesn’t yell at players. “The volume of your voice does not improve clarity,” he said. “If given the choice, why not have fun?” The current Parish team has a handful of players that are being recruited by top college programs, just like his rosters of inner-city kids in California. While there might be some socioeconomic differences, there are plenty of similiarities, too. “A lot of my boys in California saw football as a way out. A lot of my boys in Dallas see it as something they love to do, but it’s not always a linchpin to their success,” Nady said. “It doesn’t matter if they live in a mansion or live in the projects. If you love kids, they’ll love you back. And if you respect kids, they’ll respect you back. My kids have played insanely hard for me. I want every Friday night for my boys to be special. My biggest fear on a Friday night is disappointing them.”

Holaday Feels at Home in Motown By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Although the season ended short of the World Series, Bryan Holaday appears to have found a Major League home with the Detroit Tigers. The former W.T. White standout spent his first full season with the Tigers in 2014 as the primary backup catcher to starter Alex Avila. On Oct. 5, he also made his first postseason appearance, going 0-for-2 in the third and final game of the American League Division Series against the Baltimore Orioles. Holaday hit .231 in 171 at-bats

KEITH ALLISON

Holaday hit .231 this season in 171 at-bats. over 62 games this season, with 15 runs batted in, after slumping after the All-Star break. He also threw out 30 percent of stolen-base attempts from behind the plate.

His role was expanded from 2013, when Holaday was called up from the minors midway through the season and hit .296, including his first Major League home run. He also played in six games late in the 2012 season. Holaday, 26, was drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 MLB draft out of TCU, where helped to lead the Horned Frogs to their first College World Series appearance the same year. At W.T. White, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Bobby, who also had a stellar career under legendary coach David Shepherd. He was a third-team all-state shortstop as a senior in 2006.

Hockaday junior Austria Arnold was elected president of the National Youth Cutting Horse Association during the group’s annual summer convention in Fort Worth. The membership of more than 850 youths elected Arnold over two other candidates. Arnold, 16, a native of Terrell, has been involved in the cutting-horse organization since she was 9. Prior to being elected to the top officer position, she served as the first vice president of the NYCHA for a year and has been an area director for Area 24 since 2011.

The home at 3513 Princeton Avenue in Highland Park blends classic design and clean lines. Listed by Joan Eleazer for $3,495,000. The professional agents at Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty have the network and the know-how to find just the right home, often before it hits the open market. From iconic estates surrounded by manicured acreage to comfortable “forever homes” that host generations of cozy family gatherings, Dallas neighborhoods offer a home for everyone. Recently, agents in Lakewood helped first-time buyers to find a mid-century modern cottage that they plan to renovate in their own, unique style. Another agent worked with a family relocating from New York to find a home near top-rated schools in North Dallas.

An agent in University Park scoured the neighborhood for a scrape and build opportunity for a couple looking to create their dream, post-parenting house. And a team of agents used their combined network to find a high-rise with “the best view in the city” as a second home for a CEO who moved to California but still cheers for the Cowboys.

Military Gets A Salute at Film Festival By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Ryan “Birdman” Parrott experienced the horrors of war while serving in the Navy SEALS for eight years. In 2005, he was injured when his vehicle was engulfed in flames after hitting a roadside bomb in Iraq. But what ParRyan Parrott rott saw after returning to the United States prompted him to start Sons of the Flag, a Dallas-based organization that helps find treatment for military burn victims as a way of helping out his fellow soldiers. “I saw a lot of tragedy and a lot of heroics,” Parrott said. “Brotherhood is the most important thing you have in the service.” As part of its fundraising effort, Sons of the Flag is holding the inaugural Stars and Stripes Film Festival on Nov. 6-9 at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station. After leaving the service, Parrott met a retired Army captain who was severely wounded in Iraq and had more than three dozen surgeries. That’s when he learned how underserved burn victims are by the medical community. So he started the nonprofit organization in 2012 with the help of various local investors. Parrott seeks to stage unique events to raise funds and awareness for the cause, which is where the film festival comes into play. The four-day festival will include 13 screenings of a wide variety of films both old and recent with a common theme of saluting the military and first responders. Each screening will have a question-and-answer session afterward, and all of the proceeds will go to Sons of the Flag.

chools are much more than places of learning. With a long history of service and outreach, area schools also are staging grounds for community support that impacts thousands of people in hundreds of neighborhoods across North Texas. From clothing drives to reading to children, local students, teachers and parents are making a difference and making a better world. St. Mark’s School of Texas St. Mark’s faculty and students participate in an annual clothing drive held by the St. Mark’s Community Service Board. This year’s effort offered the opportunity to donate new and gently used clothing and shoes to benefit the Salvation Army, Austin Street Center, St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support. The Hockaday School Upper school students at Hockaday volunteer once a month at Promise House, a shelter for homeless and runaway teens, and hold an annual fundraiser. During the fundraiser, local restaurants donate 20 percent of their profits. The week concludes with a dinner for the Promise House teens hosted by Hockaday students. Last year the program raised over $2,000. University Park Elementary Like the professional Canstruction competition among architecture and design firms seen at the State Fair of Texas, University Park and Bradfield elementaries teamed up to create Canstruction, Jr. In this friendly competition, fourth-graders design and build sculptures made from canned goods. After the sculptures are displayed, all the canned goods are donated to the North Texas Food Bank.

Betty Estle exercises with other residents at Edgemere.

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Edgemere’s Italianate décor may not seem like the usual setting for a workout class, but for its resident seniors, it’s just the ticket. And not only that — it’s a way to give back. That’s because Edgemere takes part in a special program, where residents tally up their minutes spent working out and the total numbers go toward a donation to various charities. “Smile! Show your teeth,” instructor Charles Plafcan tells the participants of his 9:30 a.m. class. Plafcan plays music that he knows will cater to his audience — hits from the 1940s, jazz, and show tunes. Residents follow along with arm circles, squats, and chair exercises. A few of the participants have served on the fitness committee responsible for compiling minutes and selecting charities. Minutes that residents do individually also count toward the total. “Edgemere’s parent company agreed to give us a dollar for every 500 minutes we turn in,” resident and former committee member Diane Hott said. “So far, we’ve given to 45 charities. You name it, we’ve given it.” Hott and fellow resident Johanna Pietsch especially enjoy donating their time toward charities that benefit battered women and rehabilitation facilities. But they appreciate the selection input of both lifetime Dallasites and newer residents alike. “Since we both came from out of town, we chose big ones,” Hott said. “People who are on the committee now, if they’re local and have lived here forever, they know littler ones I wouldn’t have known about.” Their dedicated instructor — who’s been teaching for 32 years — thinks very highly of the program. After all, he tallies the total number of participants in

It’s not uncommon to reach 800-1,000 participants in one month. “It’s a great idea,” Plafcan said. “It motivates them to know that they’re contributing to charity.” But the residents understand that the benefit is not all for others. “It handles every part of your body; it builds strength in your arms and in your legs. It’s really a very good program,” Pietsch said. “And, we get a lot of exercise just walking to the dining room!”

Meat Alternatives Have Come a Long Way

ating an increasingly plantbased diet again these past few years has been mostly about consuming straight plants for me — fruits and veggies, the more local and organic, the better. However, this year I have also been experimenting with meat substitutes. Their quality and technology has greatly advanced since I was a vegetarian teenager (20 years ago … cough … ahem). Recently, I went on “Fox 4 Good Day” and cooked up a totally plant-based protein BBQ sandwich. One of the hosts questioned, “so, it’s not tofu?” It’s a common reaction from folks not familiar with the wide variety of alternative proteins available these days. No! It is not tofu (not that there is anything wrong with tofu). When I say the technology has changed, I mean that there are (very wise) companies engineering this stuff to create

Ask us about our exciting new 3D mammography technology, available at select locations

STEPHANIE M. CASEY product with minimal processing and natural ingredients, and which simulates the animal product experience. Bill Gates funds one of these companies. He knows this is the future of food. We literally cannot sustain meat and dairy in every meal. It’s rarely talked about by environmental groups or media, but harvesting livestock, especially cows and pigs, pollutes more than all transportation sectors combined. Acres of forest are cut down daily to graze cattle and other animals. GMO corn and soy are

grown in abundance, harvested and fed to the animals. They eat a lot and drink lots of water. And all that comes out the other end of them — billions of them every year. Google “factory farm satellite photo” to see the waste run-off from these places. The “ag gag” laws large food corporations are constantly fighting for are meant to criminalize coverage like those photos so the public will remain in the dark. In addition to the food in and waste out, we also give most of our factory livestock antibiotics (even healthy stock are given antibiotics, preventatively), hormones and various other drugs to make them grow big, fast, and counteract the negative health side effects of the stressful and unnatural environments they are raised in. Often, meat is “cleaned” at an end stage by “washing” it with ammonia. When you eat factory

farm meat and dairy, you are ingesting all of that. Long story short, we all need to cut way back on animal consumption for our health, the environment, and to preserve resources. Meat substitutes allow this without lifestyle diet change. Dallas continues to get an influx of alternative choices in our groceries and restaurants. Try the Crispy Chick’n sandwich at Lyfe Kitchen (several area locations), the “Beef” with Broccoli at Skyamore (4029 Crutcher St., near Baylor Hospital) or the new Sofritas (braised spicy tofu), which just became available at all area Chipotle locations. In your local grocer’s freezer section, look for Gardein Crispy Chick’n Fingers for the kids or try one of the many veggie breakfast sausages available. If someone asks you what you are eating, you can answer, “plants.”

Hockaday Encourages Exploration in Science By Meredith Carey

Special Contributor As Hockaday School begins its 101st year, a new era of teaching has begun with the opening of a new science center. After 14 months of construction, the three-story center was opened in August as the first phase of the planned Centennial Center that will provide an interdisciplinary space for the arts and sciences. The building, designed with full input from faculty over the past few years, will push the school’s students to explore fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. With around 30 percent of Hockaday graduates declaring majors in a STEM field in the past few years, the space now allows students to delve deeper and prepare for their postgraduate careers. “The entire science department was involved with the architects, before the plans even went out for a donor bid,” said Dr. Beverly Lawson, former chair of Hockaday’s science department. The space fits the dreams of even professional scientists and

IDEA labs fill much of the floor and at first glance, Lawson said, they do not seem like much. The large empty rooms, with moveable dividers, are not designated for any one class or

subject, but are instead created to allow classes to meet and invent in a space that will morph to students’ needs. A personal favorite feature for Dr. Marshall Bartlett, cur-

rent chair of the science department, is the 16-seat planetarium where he teaches astronomy. “It’s great to be able to teach

ESD Students Tell Mayor That ‘Math Rocks’ By Molly Price

Special Contributor The traveling exhibit “2the Xtreme: Math Alive!” made its debut at The Perot Museum of Nature and Science in September and continues through Jan. 4. The exhibit brings math to life in everyday ways. Guests can engage in more than 50,000 square feet of math adventures, including riding a snowboard, creating a video game, or designing a skyscraper. The exhibit is an effort to increase student interest in mathematics for second through sixth grades. Presented locally by St. Phillip’s School and Episcopal School of Dallas, the exhibit sparked a crusade to declare November as “Math Rocks” Month in Dallas. Students from both schools proposed the idea through letters, poems, and other creations hand-delivered to Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, explaining why math was important in their lives. “We went to his office, which was quite exciting for the boys and girls,” said Zora Skelton, a third and fourth grade math enrichment teacher at the Episcopal Lower School. The proposal was met with great enthusiasm and was presented at an October city council meeting. A special ceremony and proclamation allowed students to see the process firsthand and celebrate the results of their hard work. The exhibit sparked the idea for “Math

Students made a case before Mayor Mike Rawlings for “Math Rocks.” Rocks” Month. When ESD teachers took their students to the exhibit, it was clear they had experienced something special. “We took all of our fourth and fifth graders down,” Skelton said. “They were so captivated, they didn’t want to leave.” The hands-on displays and activities create a world in which students can actively see, touch and hear the math that makes up their world. “One of the really neat things about this program is that the mathematics is made meaningful and relevant to the students,” said Reid Prichett, ESD assistant head of

school for learning and teaching. “They can see that they are thinking mathematically, whether they realize it or not.” The students aren’t the only ones who’ve benefited from the Perot’s exhibit and “Math Rocks” Month. Teachers have also seized the unique learning opportunity. “The teachers are working together as well with bringing abstract mathematical concepts into the real world,” Prichett said. “That was really exciting for us to be part of that learning and be able to bring that back to students’ classrooms.”

CONTINUED FROM 1C astronomy and show the students the sky not just trying to draw it on a white board for them,” Bartlett said. The facilities also offer more space for the robotics team, whose power tools were previously held in a storage unit. The roof features a garden, deemed the “living lab,” that has already been used by the school’s strong environmental science club. A 3-D printer and laser cutter are already student favorites. But the rooms aren’t the only teaching feature. The building itself, designed by Good Fulton & Farrell Architects, boasts visible utilities, like water and gas lines, so that students can see just how the building functions. One of the most impactful features of the new building is the opportunity for individual research. Usually reserved for graduate students and some lucky undergrads, research is a strong focus for the new science center, which offers six independent student labs. These labs will allow students to sustain ongoing projects in their own personal space, without having to move or dismantle their research to make room for class, Lawson said. Interdisciplinary study has already begun in the center, which in later plans will become attached to the Fine Arts building. The school’s History of Art and Music class, taught by longtime Hockaday teacher Ed Long, is housed in the science center’s digital media lab, a room designed to blur the boundaries of art and science. “The vision has always been to have the spaces bleed into each other in some sort of organic way,” Bartlett said. Mixing the space while maintaining a push for student involvement both in and out of the classroom has become a priority for Hockaday. The curriculum for the high school only requires three years of science, including physics, chemistry and biology, allowing students to pick and choose what alternative, more advanced, science courses they would like to enroll in during senior year. “I think a lot of girls are turned off because they think there’s a culture around [STEM] classes that is male, competitive, ego-driven and that they don’t fit into that,” Bartlett said. “We are very conscientious about letting every girl know, whether she thinks of herself as a science girl or not, that she can succeed in doing science.”

Parish Students Rescue ‘Pete Panther’ The first Legacy event of the year at Parish Episcopal School might have been called “M15sion Impawsible,” but it didn’t self-destruct. Led and designed by the school’s senior class, the Oct. 8 event involved students in grades 1-12 working together to rescue mascot Pete Panther. The mission the students chose to accept: Pete the Panther was captured by the opposing football team’s mascot, and all groups had to solve clues and find a specific hidden puzzle piece, then meet in the gym to solve the puzzle together. The seniors in each group were dressed in black or camouflage, and all students were given a team bandana to decorate as well as an agent nametag. After watching a news bulletin about the capture, each Legacy group received a clue to decode. The clue led them to another location in the school to find a puzzle piece. After locating their puzzle piece, the groups headed to the

Alcuin students celebrated the opening of their new, high-tech facility. Alcuin School is encouraging new high-tech student pursuits in its new Innovation Studio, a facility designed to promote an interactive learning environment that stimulates imagination, creativity, innovation, and leadership exploration. The contemporary studio, which launched this fall, is equipped with a variety of technological supplies and tools including a 3-D printer, All-In-

One Learning boards, a SMART Table, and a presentation theater, among other cutting-edge amenities. The goal is for these tools to give students access to advance resources in a collaborative environment that allow them to innovate in new ways and develop projects that extend beyond the classroom. “The Alcuin Innovation Studio will enhance imaginative

thinking and teach students the frameworks for problem solving by extending the tools and skills learned in the Montessori and IB curricula,” said Jenn Hampton, Alcuin innovation facilitator. “[The studio] is a commitment to providing our students with experiential education that helps them become future thought leaders and insightful contributors to the community and the world.”

EDUCAT IO N BRIEFS

Olympic Medalist Speaks to Greenhill Students Cheryl Haworth, who won a bronze medal in women’s weightlifting at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Australia, recently spoke to Greenhill students Cheryl about athleticism, Haworth confidence, and specifically, body image. The three-time Olympian met with the school’s Sports and Society class, spoke to the entire Upper School at assembly, and met with the True Colors club at lunch as part of her Oct. 17 visit. Haworth also was featured in a documentary called Strong that she screened for Greenhill students. The film is about Haworth’s struggles with body image. The Georgia native began weightlifting at age 12, when she was a softball player who was too thin to be considered healthy. Now, at 300 pounds, the documentary explores the contradictions of a celebrated body in sports and a shunned body in society as it followed her preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Hillcrest High Honors Alumni in Celebration The Hillcrest High School Alumni Association honored five distinguished alumni during its inaugural Platinum Panthers Celebration Sandy Cress in October at Crossroads Diner. The honorees included Reginald Brack (class of 1955), former chairman and CEO of Time Inc.; Bennett Glazer (class of 1963), chairman and CEO of

wine distribution firm Glazer’s Inc.; Sandy Kress (class of 1967), prominent attorney and former education adviser to President George W. Bush; Curtis Meadows Jr. (class of 1956), former attorney and director emeritus of the Meadows Foundation; and Rabbi Mark Winer (class of 1960), an international interfaith scholar and leader. Event organizers plan to stage the Platinum Panther Celebration each year during the school’s homecoming week. The school also held an alumni softball tournament as part of the festivities.

Jesuit Honors McCaul as Distinguished Alumnus Jesuit has tabbed U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul to receive 2014 Jesuit Dallas Distinguished Alumnus Award. He has represented the state’s 10th Michael congressional district McCaul since 2005, and has served as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security since January 2013. During his first term, he was named vice chairman of the U.S.-Mexico Parliamentary Group while serving as founder of the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus. At Jesuit, McCaul was a three-sport athlete, captain of the wrestling team, and a member of the National Honor Society. After graduating in 1980, he earned bachelor’s degrees in business and history from Trinity University, and a Juris Doctor from St. Mary’s University School of Law while graduating from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. McCaul was presented his award during an Oct. 24 ceremony on the Jesuit campus.

Hobbies Inspire Student’s Poetry Book By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Some aspiring writers take decades to get published. That’s not the case for one St. Mark’s sophomore. Gopal Raman has published his first volume of poetry, called Beyond the Edge. “I started writing creatively in seventh grade, and I would compile a folder,” Raman said. Raman is also a dedicated student of photography, which highly influenced his work. “It just started as a side project I was working on in my spare time,” Raman said. “Most of [the poems] are nature-themed. A lot of times, the poem will complement the photo.” To help combine these two passions, Raman turned to many of his teachers. “By the time he got to me, he had already had conversations with other instructors and had done quite a bit of writing,” ninth-grade English teacher Scott Gonzalez said. “One of his poems ‘El Mar/La Mar’ was actually written on a conversation in our class concerning Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.” Gonzalez continued reviewing more of Raman’s poems, and helping him identify his own strengths in writing. Finally, Raman attended a summer writing program at Sewanee University of the South. “I know that helped him in his technique and his editing skills, and his reading and writing skills as well,” Gonzalez said. “He has some real insight and some real talent.” And though Raman clearly has a talent for writing and pho-

Raman shows off his book, Beyond the Edge, in the library. tography, his interests are by no means limited. He’s also very interested in the sciences and may continue that passion by the time college rolls around. “I really love biology and science,” Raman said. “I can definitely see myself doing something with maybe medicine or technology.” But with all this talent comes quite a level of humility. “The goal of the book isn’t really to sell copies,” Raman said. “It’s more to compile my work and see what it would look like. It was mostly a personal project.” In fact, Raman is dedicating any proceeds from the book to Gooch Elementary School, where he volunteers as a mentor and tutor. With the $10 copies, he was able to raise more than $1,500 for the school. “I won’t call him a ‘renaissance man’ quite yet,” Gonzalez said. “I’ll call him a ‘renaissance youth.’”

Excellence in Teaching The Ursuline story is one of tradition. It is also a story of great teachers, cutting-edge technology, commitment to service, and confident girls becoming the effective, ethical, and compassionate leaders of tomorrow. The oldest continuously operating school in Dallas, Ursuline Academy is renowned for academic excellence, innovation, and our motto, Serviam (I will serve). We are committed to meeting the individual needs of each student, helping her develop intellectually and spiritually as she discovers her own unique gifts. At Ursuline, educators are role models and mentors who value teaching as both a vocation and a ministry. Students use technology as a tool in a 21st century learning process

to gain knowledge, communicate ideas, and investigate the world. They also learn global citizenship; educational and cultural exchanges take place each year with sister schools in China, Peru, Chile, South Africa, England, and Brazil.
