FROM THE PUBLISHER

Be Smart and Generous For Our Kids

ummer is winding down, and in comparison to other years, it’s been a mild one thus far. At my deadline for this column, our temperatures were just flirting with the century mark. It’s August and time to turn our attention to back to school. For those of us without school-age children, we need to make a mental note about school zones and not going to Target on tax-free weekend (Aug. 7-9). I’ve made that mistake before — what a nightmare. To give you some fun ideas for backto-school, our talented duo of assistant editor Sarah Bennett and art director Elizabeth Ygartua teamed up with gifted photographer (and our intern) Tanner Garza for some smart ideas to keep your kids organized. Check it out on page 10. There’s also a handy calendar of upcoming school events that you may need to get on your radar. I mentioned I don’t have school-age kids anymore, but an organization at my church is collecting donations to help families in need with back-to-school essentials: school supplies, backpacks, uniforms, and more. Speaking of helping kiddos out, we have a wonderful story about Lamplighter students who worked with the North Texas Food Bank on its Food 4 Kids program. If your church or neighborhood school doesn’t have a back-to-school drive, here are a couple that may be of interest to you. Community Partners of Dallas offers three ways you can get involved: create a drive and collect new school supplies to donate, make a financial donation, or volunteer to help with school supply and uniform inventory and packing backpacks. The Dallas Mayor’s Back to School

Fair is a citywide event that partners with several other agencies to provide a variety of assistance on a single day. You can get involved by being a corporate sponsor, making a financial contribution, or volunteering. Let’s get involved and give a child a leg up.

E D U C AT I O N Why Does DISD Keep Shuffling Principals? By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Once again, there will be a new face in the principal’s office at Dealey Montessori Academy this fall, when Beverly Lusk moves into the top role. Lusk is hardly alone, however, as Dallas ISD has seen a remarkable turnover in campus leadership this summer, with new principals coming to more than 25 percent of schools in the district. At Dealey, Lusk will be the third principal in the past three years. She comes from Caillet Elementary School, where she held the top job for two years, and has been in DISD for 20 years overall, working her way up from classroom teacher to administration. Lusk hopes that she can fulfill parents’ wishes for stability at the campus following the departure of Ena Meyers, who is moving to Titche Elementary following one contentious year at Dealey. “She’s an advocate for Montessori, which is something our parents are looking for,” said Eryn Davila, the school’s PTA president. “She’s personable and parents want to feel like they can have a voice. She gives me that vibe.” After all, Lusk lives in the neighborhood and has had a seventh-grade daughter who’s been attending Dealey since pre-kindergarten. “It’s a great place. She’s here

New principal Beverly Lusk meets with fellow parents at a Dealey Montessori open-house event. for a reason,” Lusk said. “I love the way the Montessori model focuses on developing the whole child.” Several other schools in Preston Hollow also have been affected by relentless principal shuffling. Just down the road from Dealey, both Hillcrest High School and Franklin Middle School are losing their longtime leaders, with Hillcrest’s Ronald Jones and Franklin’s Jonathan Parker both resigning. Dr. Leeann Bartee, formerly of Birdville ISD, is

taking over at Hillcrest. The turnover comes during a time of general administrative volatility in DISD that included the resignation in June of superintendent Mike Miles, who spearheaded some of the staffing changes. In all, almost 60 of the district’s 222 schools will have new leaders this fall. “Our top priority is to make sure each campus is led by a high-quality principal. The path for each campus is different,” said DISD spokesman Andre Riley. “Continuity is important and we work to maintain it when possible, but sometimes school leaders choose to leave for positions in other school districts. It is vital we have the right principals in the right places to support college and career readiness.” After two years at Walker Middle School, Richie Heffernan has been reassigned and replaced by Laura Stout. Tammie Brooks, who was at Walnut Hill Elementary for the past several years, will move to Moreno Elementary. And at Cary Middle School, Benjamin Dickerson will assume the reins this fall as the fifth leader since 2011. That means few DISD principals, such as Margarita Hernandez at Pershing Elementary and Lorena Hernandez at Williams Elementary, have more than five years of experience at their current position.

Food Fight: Lamplighter Kids Join Effort Against Hunger By Sara Cagle

People Newspapers Charmaine Tang and Gunjan Jain wanted to teach their 8-year-olds about philanthropy in a valuable way. With hungry people living in their own community, they thought, founding the Kids Against Hunger Council with the North Texas Food Bank would be the perfect way to do it. After recruiting some of their fellow moms from Lamplighter, along with volunteers from St. Mark’s, University Park Elementary School, and Greenhill,

Charmaine Tang

Gunjan Jain

Tang and Jain brought more than 50 families to the food bank over the course of three volunteer sessions. There, children and mothers packed Food 4 Kids bags and made greeting cards. Food 4 Kids provides backpacks of nutritious food for

11,000 underprivileged children on weekends, when they do not have access to free and reduced-price meals at school. Normally, the minimum age to volunteer at the food bank is 10, but the Kids Against Hunger Council has younger, supervised volunteers. “It is really awesome to have such young kids, many who are the same age as the kids receiving the backpacks, help out with the community,” said Diana Carranza from the NTFB. “It’s inspiring to see kids helping kids who are just like them.” The hands-on experience, the mothers believe, gives their

children a meaningful understanding of philanthropy. “At 8 years old, you want the message to be something they can understand as in their world, and their world is Dallas,” Tang said. “So there’s nothing more meaningful than when my son asked me, ‘Mommy, where is this food going? Is it going to kids in Africa?’ and I said, “No, baby, this is going to Dallas.’ You could see the light brighten in his head, ‘Oh my goodness, there are hungry people right here.’ They’re very fortunate children and we wanted

People Newspapers Staying organized through the school year can be a challenge, no matter the age group. But each August brings the chance to start over again. Help your student stay on top of it all with these tips. n LOCKER LAYOUT It all starts with the locker. In order to keep this space organized, gear up. “There are a lot of various products out there at the Container Store and office supply stores with magnets,” said Reanna Wallace of Blissfully Organized. She recommends products with magnets to hold pens and pencils as well as whiteboards

for important memos. “You can make a checklist so you don’t forget books or homework materials,” she said. n BETTER BINDERS When it comes to binders going to and from school, common sense is best. “Use tabs and categorize subjects for all the paperwork you will be managing. Use pocket tabs if you don’t have time to punch holes in your papers,” said Dina Taylor of Easily Organized. This will not only help keep your children organized, but it will help clear their minds in order to complete important tasks. “Most can’t think clearly when over-stimulated by excess,” she said.

n HOME HELP “Studies show [students do better by] designating an actual area,” Wallace said. Her own daughter grew up with a desk of her own, say from Ikea or a similar, affordable retailer. “If you get glue on it or write on it, the sky’s the limit — it’s their table.” She also encourages parents with multiple children to create a vertical filing system at home with a calendar. That way, any papers that need to be signed don’t get lost in the shuffle. “That entire area right there is for your kids’ incoming and outgoing action items to review,” she said. With a set plan, each child can succeed at staying organized this school year.

“The mothers and fathers were so amazed at how this was conversation at the dinner table for weeks about what they learned,” Tang said. “Giving these kids a chance to touch and feel giving, as opposed to writing a check, is really meaningful to children and parents. It really opened a lot of eyes.” With a successful pilot year under its belt, the KAHC plans to grow.

For many of the children, Tang said, this was their first philanthropic experience, and they would like to continue volunteering. “People are happier when they have a giving heart, and I think that’s so important, the willingness to love others even if you don’t know them,” Tang said. “The food bank gives me a good opportunity to teach that in a really hands-on way.”

BUSINESS Mixed-Use Plan Gains Traction Near Jesuit BY THE NUMBERS

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Everyone seems to agree upon the need to replace the outdated townhomes on the northwest corner of the potentially lucrative intersection of Forest Lane and Inwood Road. The difficulty in reaching a consensus among the landowners, potential investors, and local residents is exactly what should take its place. But the developers of the Forestwood mixed-use plan seem to have reached a compromise with concerned homeowners that could facilitate a new life for the corner. One complication is that the Daniel family, which has owned the land for 160 years, won’t sell it. The family developed the townhomes just south of Jesuit College Preparatory School about 40 years ago, and has operated them since. “This land means a lot to us. The apartments that our fathers and grandfathers built are old and outdated,” said Richard Daniel, managing partner of Daniel Brothers LLP. “We need a new plan that’s commercially viable and a new plan that enhances the community and the neighborhood.” The Daniels hope to lease 28 acres to Greystar and Regency Centers for a project that would consist of 325 townhomes and flats, along with 80,000 square feet of retail space with a 25,000-square-foot anchor tenant — likely a specialty grocer. The battle between residents and developers over the future of the intersection dates back to 2007, when a plan called for 447 residential units, with four-story buildings, 110,000 square feet of retail, and a six-story parking garage. Neighbors likewise objected to many aspects of the current concept when it was first presented last fall. But the latest compromise seems to have alleviated many of those concerns, such as building heights, reduction in anchor tenant space, tree preservation, and construction materials.

The Forestwood development would include a mix of residential and retail uses. Greystar would build a combination of luxury townhomes and flats ranging from 2-3 stories and from one to four bedrooms, with mostly brick exteriors. The current complex has 208 units, mostly three or four bedrooms. “This enables us to offer the widest range of price points,” said Laird Sparks, Greystar managing director, adding those rental rates could range from $1,100 to $4,500 per month. Regency Centers, which also operates the nearby Preston Oaks Shopping Center, would design the retail segment to target specialty stores and eateries, with wide sidewalks and enhanced landscaping. As part of the agreement, Jesuit would take over 6.3 acres just south of its existing campus to use for athletic practice fields

and parking. Sparks said all existing leases at Forestwood would be honored and new leases would be available until a rezoning case is filed with the city of Dallas. “We were told we won’t be able to afford to move back into this community,” said Forestwood resident Shirley Jefferson. Greystar officials said they would plan to assist existing residents with relocation plans. “I hope the developers will be willing to work with the current residents to alleviate the hardship,” said Tom Walker, who lives on Willow Lane. “Please consider the human element along with the financial.” Traffic is an ongoing concern at the intersection, where it’s increased 21 percent on Forest and 14 percent on Inwood

since 2007. “Any redevelopment is going to increase traffic,” said attorney Bill Dahlstrom. “We believe this development will be worth it.” The Daniel family also owns the northeast corner of the intersection, which includes Liberty Burger and other shops and restaurants, plus an antique mall that might also be a target for redevelopment. On the southeast corner, Comerica Bank is in the middle of a long-term lease. “This is a great plan,” said Liberty Burger owner Gene Street, who has lived in Preston Hollow for 30 years. “Restaurants and grocery stores really give a lot back to the community. Competition is so good for the restaurant business.” Daniel said he looks forward to revitalizing the land that has been so valuable to his family since before the Civil War. “We have an emotional interest here. This is not just a financial decision,” Daniel said. “Now is the time for this generation to do something for our kids and our grandkids.”

Author Reveals Tales of Employees Behaving Badly By Meredith Carey

Special Contributor

Joint replacement today may have you home tomorrow. Typically, hip or knee replacement surgery puts you in the hospital for days. But at Baylor University Medical Center

Sex, drugs, and accidentally pressing “reply all” on that rude email you wrote about Jen — sounds about right for the Dallas offices in which author Richard Burton has worked. A lawyer in the labor field for 20 years, who as seen just about everything scandalous office life can bring, Burton is sharing all of his gossip, and tips, in his latest book, Employees Gone Wild. The Preston Hollow native thought about writing the exposé for years, after dealing with an executive that liked to hold meetings with female employees wearing nothing but a towel around his waist and other illicit workplace behavior. “It’s a pretty wild and funny book filled with a bunch of extreme adventures,” Burton said. “Over the years, I’ve just seen dozens and dozens of accounts of employee misconduct and decided it was time to share.” This is the author’s second book, but a real change from his debut novel, Godsent, a thriller recently put under contract to be made into a film.

at Dallas, you could be back home one day after joint

“I’ve always enjoyed creative writing. This is just a compilation of my experiences. To have the chance to lay out all these funny stories was very satisfying to me,” Burton said. Employees Gone Wild, full of workers’ flubs, doesn’t just give you something to talk about at the water cooler. His main advice: don’t mix work and play. “I’ve seen employees going on Craigslist to post personal ads and an increase in people using and selling drugs from the office,” he said. “Employees just forget that when you’re on a work computer, they’re letting their employer see all of their Internet activity.” Remember that this includes your phone, too, he said, as employers usually have access to images, web searches, and text messages. Another tip: never be afraid to speak up. “I don’t believe in jumping over someone’s head. If it’s possible talk to the person you have an issue with first to get it fixed, go ahead and speak with them,” Burton said. “Otherwise don’t just sweep it under the rug. Go to your manager or human resources to make sure the problem is solved.”

① Leave your personal life at the office door. “Always keep your personal life out of the workplace. With cell phones and Internet, it’s becoming much easier to bring personal emails, calls, and relationships into the office. That’s a lot of times where trouble begins. When you’re at work, you should only be doing work.”

② Honesty is the best policy.

“It never ceases to amaze me when people come up with lies about what was going on. If you find yourself in trouble and human resources or a manager comes to you with an issue, be honest. You have a chance to clear the issue up, but if you compound it with a lie, you definitely risk losing your job.”

“This one is pretty simple. Be respectful and act appropriately towards your coworkers. You shouldn’t

say or do anything to coworkers that could be offensive or inappropriate.”

CLEANING UP THE MESS How to handle employee conduct as a company:

① Lay down the law.

“Get a formal policy and procedure handbook and give it to every employee to sign before they start working. Then you can always go back to the expectations if a problem arises.”

② Keep an eye out.

“Put measures in place to be aware of what’s going on in the office and nip problems in the bud. Too often companies turn a blind eye or don’t take serious action until the second or third offense. Be proactive at the beginning before it mushrooms into something big.”

③ Ask for help.

“Enlist the aid of lawyer if something criminal or extreme comes up. Sometimes companies try to handle crimes themselves, like embezzlement or theft. Don’t be bashful about enlisting outside legal assistance.”

THIS HOUSE HAS THE LIFE OF LANDRY This modest single-story house at 4510 Hallmark Drive was custom built for Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry in 1962, and became his home as he led the team to multiple Super Bowl titles during a Hall of Fame career. || C O U R T E SY P H O T O S

ardcore football aficionados will sometimes go to extreme lengths to get their hands on unique pieces of football memorabilia. So there were no doubt inquiries from a few curious Dallas Cowboys fans when the former Preston Hollow home of legendary coach Tom Landry came on the market this summer. Like the Hall of Fame coach, the house is modest and unassuming, yet elegant and authoritative. However, it’s unlikely the $795,000 price tag will include any forgotten playbooks in the attic or championship rings in the floorboards. Landry had the single-story house custom built for his family in 1962 and owned it

throughout his 29-year tenure with the Cowboys. Since 1994, it had been owned by philanthropist Dorothy Fanoni, who died in March. The 4,000- square-foot home — with four bedrooms and three baths — includes an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, tile floors, and a large enclosed patio with a skylight. Although much of the house retains its traditional architectural design, the recently remodeled kitchen features an assortment of granite countertops and custom cabinets. So regardless of whether potential buyers value its historical connection to gridiron glory, the house that Landry built could be quite a score. — Todd Jorgenson

Art, Architecture Mix For Park Cities Designer Modern not mandatory for Boerder By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Larry Boerder orders his favorite type of pencils from eBay because you can’t find them in stores anymore. He can rattle off the phone numbers of clients without checking his contact list. He uses an old-fashioned drafting table for his plans because, as he says, “I’ve never been very good with CAD.” He’s an old-school architect who’s built his repertoire in and around the Park Cities. A North Dallas native, he felt the call to architecture at a young age; his father was an architect, and today his sister and brother-in-law are also architects. “I was always exposed to it. There’s a picture of me at age 9 in my father’s office drawing,” he said. Boerder was taught modernist architecture at the University of Texas in the 1970s. But when he graduated, like many new alumni, he was unsure of what he wanted to do. “I graduated at the top of my class, but I really felt like I didn’t understand what I was doing,” he said. Eventually, he found his pas-

Larry Boerder comes from a family of architects, having followed in his father’s footsteps. sion in traditional-style architecture, which seemed to fit his other interests across the board. “I didn’t think I’d become an architect; I thought I’d become a musician, and I’ve had several forays in that regard. But I’ve always needed to make a living, so fortunately that has remained an avocation for me,” he said. “I see a lot of tie-ins between music and architecture, actually.” For example, he sees similarities between Baroque music and Baroque architecture — specifi-

cally, through elements such as ornamentation and structure. His first major project came by way of a classical-style church, and by the 1980s, he was working on houses in the Park Cities — despite the fact that he was essentially self-educated in traditionalism. Continuing his eye for artistic styles, Boerder still keeps detailed sketchbooks from his trips abroad including Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom — but each element he uses must re-

spond appropriately to its environment. “A clay-tile roof works in our climate because it naturally sheds heat,” he said. “That’s why you always see it in southern climates … it was invented by the Etruscans in Italy.” This artistic bent continues to shape Boerder’s work and guide his relationships with clients. Lynn Muse has used Boerder’s skills on a number of projects for more than 20 years: a house on Beverly Drive, a house on Preston Road, a home in Colorado, and her office in the Design District. As an interior designer herself, she’s able to recognize his imaginative eye — even in things beyond architecture. “He’s an incredibly creative person,” she said. “He’s amazing on the piano. I think he has a repertoire of 1,600 songs. [With] his education and experience in classical architecture, I think he understands proportion.” But it’s not just his creative expertise that keeps clients coming back. “Larry was the last architect we interviewed for our project and he won the job in the first five minutes,” Shannon Gilliland said. “Larry, a true artist-scholar, understood and appreciated the project like no other.” Even with all these combined elements, Boerder can boil it down pretty simply. “My goal is to make a house that people will swear has always been there,” he said.

Busy Housing Market Still Favoring Sellers By Todd Jorgenson

PARK CITIE S

People Newspapers Halfway through another year of frantic activity in the local housing market, there are few signs that supply will catch up to demand. Sellers have seen plenty of happy returns in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow during the spring and early summer months, following a trend that has been ongoing as more buyers look to move into the area. “It’s a great market,” said Lindy Mahoney, an agent with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “If you’ve got them priced right, and they’re in a great location, they’re selling.” According to statistics from the North Texas Real Estate Information System, inventory among single-family homes increased in the Park Cities during the second quarter of the year, while prices dipped slightly.

of active listings is up sharply, so is the number of closed sales. For example, there were 88 houses sold in the Park Cities in June, compared to 67 in March, all while prices continue to hover above $350 per square foot. The numbers are similar in Preston Hollow, where sales and prices have risen in tan-

dem. The 90 sales closed in June were for an average of almost $900,000, compared to 78 deals finalized in March at an average of less than $700,000. Mahoney said sales of higher-end properties tend to slow down during the summer while their owners are on vacation. However, those in medium price ranges are active with buyers wanting to move in be-

fore school starts. “Anything up to about $3 million is flying off the market,” she said. Meanwhile, sales of condominiums and townhomes also are fetching big bucks. The median price for such a sale in Preston Hollow so far this year is $387,000. Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

he process of producing the list of D Magazine’s best residential real-estate agents in the area started by contacting 15,000 people; mailing nomination ballots to previous Best Real Estate Agent winners, mortgage and title companies 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

LIVING WELL Volunteering is Child’s Play at Scottish Rite By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers “One, two, say Strawberry Shortcake!” a dad calls out to his child posing for a picture with Ms. Shortcake herself. The soundtrack to Disney’s Frozen — the now-famous refrain of “Let It Go” — is playing in the distance. That really gets the crowd going. Suddenly, there are miniature-sized princesses dancing everywhere. That’s because it’s the day of the third annual Character Breakfast at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, put on by its young professionals’ auxiliary, the Crayon Club. “In high school, I volunteered with Scottish Rite and fell in love with the work and the patients,” said Natalie Crow, a Highland Park High School graduate and Character Breakfast co-chair. “I knew I wanted to work with kids.” By the time she graduated with her degree and returned to Dallas, she was looking for ways to reconnect with Scottish Rite. As it turns out, the hospital was in the process of “revamping” the Crayon Club, and Crow has chaired the breakfast for the past three years. “Our goal is to support the mission of the hospital through volunteerism, education, and philanthropy,” she said. “We love to raise money, but at the end of the day, it’s not about the amount raised but raising awareness. More than anything, it’s just such a special place.” At the Character Breakfast, children inside and outside the hospital enjoy a breakfast with their parents that includes a special parade of characters ranging from Disney princesses to superheroes and more. Maddox Womble, who is known as Captain Jack Sparrow for the day, has been on the board of the Crayon Club for five years. “It’s been a huge success, and watching it grow has been cool,” said Womble, who was in character for the first time this year. “It adds another layer.

Characters such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Cinderella, and Spider-Man greet children at the Crayon Club Character Breakfast.

ters and breakfast plates, the event also features door prizes, face painting, and a silent auction. With flowers and balloons underwritten by donors, the Crayon Club can focus on giving back. Ticket sales this year reached a high of 300 people. But the Character Breakfast isn’t the only time Crayon Club members interact with kids. They participate in a spring crawfish boil for volunteers, a “Truck or Treat” night in the fall with patients, and a tree lighting in December. They also frequently bring crafts and games to spend time with the kids.

“It’s fun to get them out of their rooms and not focused on why they’re here,” third-year volunteer Rachel King said. As for the big show, the Crayon Club uses about 50 different characters during the breakfast. A number of more volunteers stand ready and waiting in blue T-shirts to help families find their tables and make sure everyone is having a good time. “I Googled how she poses,” fourthyear volunteer Alyssa Williamson said of preparing for her Cinderella role. “Seeing their faces ... kids really do believe there’s magic.”

t’s Texas. It’s summer. It’s hot. For lots of us, that means keeping the heat out of the kitchen with cold salads and grilled meals, which makes it a fun time of year to get creative with your spices and play with flavor in familiar dishes. With Google at your fingertips, it’s easy to figure out specific spice profiles. Say you want to work an Indian influence into your homemade burger and grilled french fries — searching “common Indian spices” will return the basics. Next thing you know, you are sprinkling cumin and coriander into your burger mix, tossing your fries in cinnamon and red chili, and using brown mustard as the main condiment. Or maybe you are bored with the same old salad? Get your avocado on by using avocado oil instead of olive oil in a homemade dressing. Achieve a Tex-Mex feel by blending the oil with ripe avocado, Just Mayo, fresh lemon, fajita seasoning, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Toss with your usual salad ingredients and break up a few tortilla chips on top. Put things on the grill you’ve never considered putting on the grill before. I’ve cracked a bunch of pepper on berries and tomatoes, shaken a dash of celery salt with them, then throw them over the fire for a couple minutes and used that as a sand-

STEPHANIE M. CASEY wich topping. Adding smoked sea salt to any fruit or vegetable will give that beloved smoky bacon reference without the added fat. A favorite is from a local line by Chef Milton. You can also find a range of smoked salt options in Central Market’s spice aisle. I’ve got a wonderful flaked one by Falksalt that has a hint of sweet caramel to it. Sprinkle on our local summer seasonals such as eggplant, squash, melon, or okra, add a little oil, and marinate to enjoy raw or throw on the grill for a savory side, main dish, or use as a salad or sandwich ingredient. Spices make terrific souvenirs and expand your flavor repertoire. It’s an affordable way to experiment. Plus, every time a jar is cracked, a travel memory is recalled — even if the trip was just to a local market where a clever seasoning made eyes at you. “Well, hello. Want to come back to my place, Maui Onion Blend?” Yes, yes I do.

SPORTS Tennis Coach Puts Love Back in the Game By Jacie Scott

Special Contributor Many call Jimmy Connors the best tennis player of all time. Tennis coach Randall Edmiston calls him his claim to fame. “I went to high school and played on the tennis team with him,” he said. “That’s how I got started and stuck with it.” Sessions with Connors and Connors’ mother helped propel him to a collegiate tennis career at the University of Kentucky. He taught lessons before embarking on a marketing career that brought him to Dallas. Edmiston always knew he should be teaching children. Three years ago he acted on it, introducing the Randall Ross Tennis Academy. RRT provides tennis training focused on fun, including the T-REPS (tennis, repetition, experimentation, play) for schools program, the Topspin Factory, and his newest Tennis Tots and Club Kids at Walnut Hill Recreation Center. While his program is open to all ages, Edmiston has a passion for sharing his knowledge with kids — even as young as 1. Children under age 10 play on a miniature court, using smaller equipment and low-pressure balls. “About 95 percent [of kids

TA N N E R G A R Z A

Randall Edmiston coaches youngsters during his sessions at Walnut Hill Recreation Center. who started playing tennis] quit because it was so difficult,” Edmiston said. “All that has changed now with this new program.” T-REPS implements simple body movements to create muscle memory, fun games, and minimal verbal instruction. The Topspin Factory, developed by Edmiston, is essentially a hitting alley with sports netting, a ball machine, and

ball-collection device, which allows nearly 900 balls to be hit in 30 minutes. The machine reinforces repetition and muscle memory. Edmiston’s latest program, Tennis Tots, takes a different approach to lessons. “I took the new rules and boiled it down for even younger kids with the idea that I wouldn’t really try to teach them to hit the ball over the net.

I would just find fun things for the kids to do with the tennis racket and ball, and create these mini-experiences that would give them coordination for tennis-related activities,” Edmiston said. Local mom Allison McAfee came across the program on a whim while driving down Walnut Hill Lane last fall. She set up a lesson for her 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son.

“He showed her how to hold a tennis racket and had her swat at bubbles and hit balls off cones,” McAfee said. “Things that I thought were appropriate for her age level, rather than just trying to feed balls to her. That probably wouldn’t make a 4-year-old feel very good.” Edmiston made a point to check in on her son, chat with him, and made sure he was holding a ball or racket at all times while he worked with her daughter. “He kept trying to get my son just interested in it and around it,” said McAfee, who participates in a few lessons as well. “I like the fact that he lets me bring my 1-year-old. He’s very good at talking with the kids on their level.” Previously, you could only find tennis lessons at country clubs, and it was considered elite and expensive and difficult to learn. RRT aims to cancel those negative factors. “There are a lot of things in tennis that you can take into your adult life beyond the sport. You really have to learn how to practice, concentrate, and persevere,” Edmiston said. “My message is to get the word out to parents. Get your kid in. Get them playing and having fun, and they’ll learn tennis in the process.”

St. Mark's Grad Bounces From Wharton to NBA Sideline By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Taylor Jenkins didn’t follow the same career path as most of his Wharton classmates. Instead of drawing up investment strategies for financiers, he’s mapping out offensive strategies for superstar athletes. The 30-year-old St. Mark’s graduate spent the last year on the NBA sidelines as an rookie assistant coach for the Atlanta Hawks, who set a franchise record for wins and reached the Eastern Conference finals. “It was a very special season on a number of different levels,” Jenkins said. “I’ve been fortunate to be around a lot of great players.” As a youngster, Jenkins’ athletic dreams were focused on baseball. But he later grav-

itated toward basketball, a sport he had only been playing since middle school. He became a standout forward on an SPC championship team at St. Mark’s and had a couple of opportunities to play in college, but instead chose the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious business school. When an aunt suggested that he might make a decent general manager of a sports franchise, Jenkins saw it as an ideal mix for his interests and his skill set. After his junior year at Penn, Jenkins secured a summer internship in the front office of the San Antonio Spurs, which allowed him to work with some of the top administrators in the NBA. “I helped them with the draft and free agency and summer leagues. It was a phenomenal

experience,” said Jenkins, who later applied for a full-time internship with the Spurs as graduation approached in 2007. He knew it was a risky move. “All my friends at Wharton were getting accounting jobs and finance jobs at big firms in New York, and I’m just praying that the Spurs hire me,” he said. “They ended up winning the championship that year, so they had bigger fish to fry.” The day he graduated from Wharton, Jenkins got a voicemail from Spurs general manager R.C. Buford offering him the job. Jenkins treated the internship like a graduate program, working long hours for little money and trying to learn about every facet of an NBA front office, from the training table to the salary cap. He watched ev-

ery practice and game, working with everyone from coaches to marketing personnel. “Just being around the entire organization, I learned so much. I really got this urge to coach inside of me,” said Jenkins, who volunteered to coach inner-city kids in Philadelphia with some friends while he was at Penn. “Most often, people go from the coaching side to management, not often from management to coaching. But I wanted to take the risk.” During his internship year, the Spurs bought an NBA Development League team, based in Austin. For Jenkins, it seemed like the logical next step. He approached Austin head coach Quin Snyder, who just lost one of his assistants to the

COMMUNITY Can the Skybridge Proposal Be Rescued? By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Within the past few decades, Preston Center has arguably devolved from a pioneer to a relic among local mixed-use developments. That status has prompted ongoing complaints about traffic and parking and has renewed calls for reform and uniformity in development guidelines as area residents, property owners, and retail tenants seek a revival. Yet nobody seems to agree on how to approach such issues. That includes the Dallas City Council, which in June punted a vote on a contentious proposal by Crow Holdings to construct a pedestrian skybridge linking the second floor of the Preston Center parking garage to a retail space on the west side. Following the suggestion of District 13 councilwoman Jennifer Gates, the council voted to delay a vote on a special-use permit until Nov. 10 to allow the Preston Road and Northwest Highway Area Plan Task Force to negotiate the issue in the interim and report back to the council with a proposal before then. The issue seems to have everyone divided up until this point, including task force members, property owners surrounding the garage, and the Dallas Plan Commission, who approved the proposal by a narrow 7-6 vote in March. Gates oversees the task force — which was formed in late 2014 but hasn’t had much forward momentum to this point — and said her group of residents and business owners will make the parking garage a priority in the coming months. “It’s not giving them support. It’s giving them an opportunity,” Gates said. “It would

A skybridge won't connect parking to retail any time soon. || TA N N E R G A R Z A

“IF T H E TA SK F O RCE IS G O ING TO H AV E A NY ME A NING , T H E N IT N EE DS TO B E RE SP E CT E D.” P HILI P KI NGSTON

be the best of both worlds if we waited until the end of the task force. The applicant is not willing to wait that long. If there’s any possibility of this, they don’t want to

wait another 12 to 18 months.” Crow Holdings officials said they support the five-month delay, but any further postponement likely will cause them to withdraw the proposal — and the $1.4 million in cosmetic improvements to the city-owned garage that the developer has promised with it. The company wants to connect the garage with 55,000 square feet of upper-level retail space that most recently housed a Ross store. The goal is to lure a grocer to the site, which likely would be Tom Thumb. However, a lease agreement with Tom Thumb (that was tied to passage of the skybridge) has since expired, and “several other” grocery stores have also expressed interest, ac-

cording to Robert Dozier, an executive vice president with Lincoln Property Company. “If we don’t put in the skybridge, there will be no grocery store. We can’t wait two years to lease our 55,000 square feet,” said Dan Feeney of Crow Holdings. “It’s a significant investment we’re going to make on behalf of the city.” Proponents say the skybridge will improve safety in a busy pedestrian area and will incentivize drivers to park on the top deck of the garage. Detractors argue that the bridge would only escalate parking concerns. Gates’ colleague, Philip Kingston, said the task force should be allowed to complete its work in full — which likely will take at least another year — before the skybridge is brought for a vote. “I worry about the message we’re sending to the volunteers we’ve asked to serve on this task force,” Kingston said. “If the task force is going to have any meaning, then it needs to be respected.” The task force — which is considering a wide range of traffic, parking, and zoning issues throughout an area of more than 1,000 acres — hasn’t met since late April. But part of the issue has been money, and the council approved an extra round of funding from the North Central Texas Council of Governments that would allow the group to hire a consultant and continue its work, Gates said. “I believe we need a clean slate for Preston Center and the surrounding neighborhoods,” said Leland Burk, a property owner in the mixed-use development who also serves on the task force. “The skybridge will effectively halt the redevelopment of the parking deck.” Email todd.jorgenson@ peoplenewspapers.com

Parents Honor Cancer Victim With Hospital Teen Center By Sara Cagle

People Newspapers As 17-year-old Carson Leslie fought cancer in his brain and spine at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, his parents noticed a void in the hospital: there was no place for teenage cancer patients to hang out. Almost five years after his death, the Carson Leslie Foundation built Carson’s Corner, a room for teenage cancer patients to connect. Diagnosed when he was 14, Carson was in and out of Children’s for three years. As the

“Those were very sad and lonely days for him,” said Carson’s mother, Annette. “It would have been good for his heart to have gotten out of his room.” Once Children’s approved the proposal, the foundation started accepting donations. The room opened on May 21. Complete with comfy chairs, two big-screen televisions, and a $100,000 endowment for other supplies, the space has given teenagers a way to get to know each other, Annette said. “The medicine kills the cancer, but you’ve got to have a will to live,” she said. “The kids need a little encouragement.” Children’s Child Life Team Leader Melinda Goff has seen Carson’s Corner facilitate friendships, she said. It even gave one patient a place to experience prom. “Childlife specialists helped her make decorations, and she got fully dressed,” Goff said. “She got to invite a few friends, and they got to relax and dance or just sit around and talk. That was huge to her.” The Carson Leslie Foundation has taken patients on trips to Rangers, Cowboys, and Mavericks games — in limos, no less. “It’s always in a suite with food, and often at the Mavericks game we get to go down on the practice court,” Annette said. The time away is good for the kids’ mental health. At one Cowboys game, Stephen Jones visited their suite. “The boys liked the pictures with the cheerleaders more,” joked Carson's father, Craig. Now that Carson’s Corner is there, the kids have something to look forward to. “We take them to these events, they have a great time, and then it’s back to normal life,” he said. “This gives them something they can do every day.” Carson would have enjoyed talking with people his age who knew what he was going through, Annette said. “We may not have known what he was doing for a minute or two, and that would have been nice,” she said. With the teenage zone in full swing, the family is confident that it is Carson-approved. “They took really good care of him at Children’s, and we just wanted to give something back,” Annette said. “He’s probably looking down with a wink and a thumbs up.”

A B O V E : Chef Eddy learned the trade from his mother, who once cooked for the Thai royal family.

Eddy and Chris both recommend the dumplings as a Kin Kin favorite.

EATERY IS A THAI GAME Kin Kin brings taste of Bangkok By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Preston Forest may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of Thai food. But one restaurateur wants to change that. Enter chef Eddy Thretipthuangsin, known as “Chef Eddy." He founded Kin Kin Urban Thai in Fort Worth and Oak Lawn. This summer, he’ll open a third location in Preston Forest. “We want to be the neighborhood Thai restaurant,” he said. “You can come in and grab a quick bite or have a date night. We have something for everyone.” In order to become the “neighborhood Thai restaurant,”

Thretipthuangsin knows he has to offer variety in his menu. Items such as a Thai Scottish Egg and a Thai-inspired burger can be found, in addition to classics such as dumplings, curries, and pad Thai. But that range of variety doesn’t mean his menu items don’t all come down to the same essence — or rather, inspiration. “The foundation of the menu is the same across the board,” he said. “The flavor profile is more like ... street food that everybody knows if you grew up in Thailand. I love the flavor profile, and I love the combination of the grill, marinated pork, and sticky rice. There’s a creative way to replicate the flavor in a different form.” He's inspired by his mother, who had the opportunity to cook for the Thai royal family. “Obviously for every chef, if you asked them how they start their careers, we all start from Mom’s kitchen,” he said. “Every-

body has their own childhood favorites that Mom made. My passion comes from learning from my mom and growing up with her in the restaurant business.” That sense of family continues today — Thretipthuangsin’s brother, Chris, also works in the restaurants. “My goal is short: we’re trying to be on your speed dial by the third visit,” he said. “Many people may think Thai is niche, but in my opinion ... we’re a melting pot.” The Fort Worth location opened in February, while the Oak Lawn location opened in July. Thretipthuangsin’s approach to Thai food will find its Preston Forest home in the southwest quadrant near Mi Cocina. “The theory behind it is how can I bring in a cuisine that is flavorful but make it fit the western consumer here?” Thretipthuangsin said. “And it’s not that we twist it from its originality — the method and flavor are the same.”

NBA. Snyder was impressed with Jenkins’ enthusiasm and hired him. After two years under Snyder — who is now the head coach of the Utah Jazz — and two more under Brad Jones, Jenkins became the head coach in Austin at age 28. “I learned player development and how to relate to players and the relationships you need to build. I was so thankful for the firsthand experience at

the development-league level,” Jenkins said. “It was a perfect graduate-degree program.” In his debut season, Austin finished 27-23 and reached the NBADL semifinals. Then longtime Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer became a head coach with the Hawks. With his work ethic and perseverance, Budenholzer felt Jenkins had earned a promotion to the NBA despite being younger than a handful of players on the roster and a resume that included no

playing experience at either the college or pro level. He remains passionate about teaching and learning the game. “I can wake up every single day and be happy. I do what I love, and I’m chasing my dream,” Jenkins said. “I love coaching and being on the floor with the players, striving for something special, trying to win championships. I want the toughest challenge and I want to strive for the best. I’m truly blessed to be where I am.”

Reflecting on Changes Going Back to School

s a kid in the 1950s, summer was over and school started right after Labor Day. Boys and girls would get “fall cottons,” which consisted of plaid dresses and shirts in the heat of Texas along with new saddle oxfords or loafers. When kids got their teacher assignment, moms told you not to whine and go outside and play till dusk while she smoked her Pall Malls or Viceroys and flipped through Ladies Home Journal or made a casserole involving a can of mushroom soup. The excitement of covering your textbooks with cutup brown grocery sacks and putting your friends’ names on them was the best. By high school we gals wanted shirtwaist dresses and circle pins, and guys wore madras and Jade East cologne while we went to get our protractors, compasses, and map pencils and picked up a few items for shop or home ec. My own children were a bit more complicated. School started in the middle of August and we sweltered in our station wagons finding the holy grail of the new, cool shoes. Mothers with their Chases, Jasons, and Christophers and Jennifers, Ashleys, and Megans spent hours in stores getting the correct colored folders, charcoal art stick, calculators, backpacks, loose-leaf paper and binders, with throngs of other moms with their checklists. Once tax-relief weekend began, the malls were worse than at Christmas. The great invention of my motherhood was shoes with Velcro tabs. Exhausted parents then spent hours on the phone scheduling the after-school music, dance, art, sports, or tutoring lessons and carpools. Myriads of forms had to be filled in and notarized from doctors, field-trip forms, permission forms. Kids were kicked outside to get them off the Intellivison or away from MTV while mostly moms cooked or nuked supper or got it out of the CrockPot. By Labor Day, everybody was so ready for a break. Today, the mothers of Madison, Gabriella, and Jackson, as well as the Harpers, Camerons, and Coopers, go to mega-stores to get lunch pouches with plastic boxes for gluten-free, nutfree sandwiches, containers

LEN BOURLAND for mac-and-cheese that can be heated in the classroom microwave, with the obligatory mini-carrots, power bars, veggie chips, yogurt cups, and bottled water. If not uniforms, then there are specialty stores for the young, tweens, teens, and beyond. There is often little difference with how the parents and their teenagers dress. There are some paperbacks and notebooks, folders and pens to be purchased, but increasingly it’s about the cell phones, electronic tablets or personal computers. Much can be ordered online; most forms can be filled in that way. Parents march into schools demanding teacher and classroom changes, and assess the safety of the playground equipment, the political correctness of the syllabus, lobby coaches for their child to be showcased. There are fewer carpools with safety seats taking up all the space in the minivans, and often nannies and helpers doing the driving while stopping to pick up something to assemble for dinner. Kids are never kicked outside but supervised on playdates or planned activities while parents or helpers check their email or texts. By Labor Day, everyone needs a break. What will back-to-school look like for my grandchildren’s children? Will kids with gender-neutral names decide whether to be female or male and then possibly switch for the experience? Will iPads and iPhones be obsolete, with drones delivering the wristwatch that can be programmed to tune into virtual classrooms? Will there even be school? Maybe open classrooms all the time everywhere? Maybe there won’t be a summer finale as we learn to regulate weather and dispense with Labor Day because manual labor is a quaint notion. Some of it will be progress. And the rest might send us back to the classroom. Len Bourland can be reached at len@lenbourland.com.

People Newspapers NorthPark Center is celebrating its 50th year as a local landmark in August, but its beginnings create a storied past. It all began with co-owner Nancy Nasher’s mother, who was a Dallas native. She met Nasher’s father in Boston, and the couple returned to the bride’s hometown with lofty goals. “He taught himself the real-estate business,” Nasher said of her father, Raymond. “They saw this 95-acre cotton field, which was part of the Caruth homestead and owned by the Hillcrest Foundation.” The initial plan was to purchase the land outright. When that didn’t work, they settled on a 99-year ground lease. The couple and their team of developers had three years to plan, design, and finance the shopping center. At the time, all major retail in Dallas was downtown. This was to be the first enclosed, climate-controlled

shopping center of its sort in Texas. “They saw this land and they took a risk,” she said. Though the husband and wife were full partners, it was Nasher’s father who convinced Stanley Marcus to open his first satellite store at NorthPark — the first Neiman Marcus apart from the downtown flagship. It became one of three department stores to anchor the center along with 100 inline stores. They pulled together a team of experts: E.G. Hamilton to design the mall, Larry Halprin to design the landscape, and Henry Beck to build it, just to name a few. “[My father] wanted to put together who he thought were the best and brightest in the country,” Nasher said. What resulted was a center that emphasized aesthetics and nature. The mall grew into its reputation for art and wildlife over a period of decades — the ducks in front of Williams-Sonoma, for example, have been there since day one. “The birds have been there from the beginning. The turtles have been there for over 20 years,” Nasher said. “These are turtles that people people bring to us to be rehabilitated and then we take them to the Texas Wildlife Conservancy.”

And then there’s the art. The Nasher family began incorporating sculpture in the 1970s, but before then, the Marcus brothers added sculpture to the Neiman’s garden to honor their mother. “NorthPark is a sequence of aesthetic experiences from a garden to a fountain to a main street of stores,” Nasher said. To celebrate this, NorthPark will launch a charitable initiative on Aug. 19, the actual anniversary, and then celebrate publicly on Aug. 22. That day will include a back-to-school fashion show, model search, and opening of the “Art Meets Fashion” exhibit with the University of North Texas fashion department. In October, the center will host fashion shows with Harper’s Bazaar, a Concert in the Garden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and launch Art Rocks, which will feature local artists. The celebrations will hit a high note with a gala partnered with Neiman Marcus. “We have a lot going on,” NorthPark spokesperson Kristen Gibbins said. “We like talking about how the story of NorthPark has evolved over the years and has turned into one of the top five shopping centers in the country.”
