rowing up with seven brothers, there were a whole lot of shenanigans going on, and the Fourth of July was an excuse to amp it up.

Shooting coffee cans and homemade rockets in the air was a normal after-school activity, but for the Fourth we saved our money from babysitting and odd jobs to buy “real” fireworks. I’ve heard that my dad was quite a rascal as a boy, so I think my brothers got away with a lot of what I would call dangerous activity: Roman candle wars, bonfire bombs, and firecracker sneak attacks.

I’m not sure if it was just our family, but being an American and knowing what that means was instilled in us.

Perhaps that was because my mom was a naturalized citizen, leaving her native Philippines and pledging her allegiance to the United States. Or possibly that my father was intensely patriotic, and his past military service was a source of great pride for the family, and I believe influenced three of my siblings decision to join the Service.

I’m hopelessly patriotic. In school, I remember looking forward to the morning ritual of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. I have to admit, I still get a little choked up when I hear the National Anthem.

These days, I think we all take our freedom and the benefits of living in the United States a bit for granted. Do we even know what we are celebrating? Do we take even a moment away from our barbecues, pool parties, and the endless retail opportunities that come with every holiday these days?

Each year on the Fourth of July, our newspapers document the various neighborhood parades and celebrations, and as

a company we participate in the Park Cities parade and celebration at Goar Park.

It’s always a lot of good old-fashioned family fun and a great way to get out and meet folks in the community. And yes, there will be an opportunity to hear “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Please join us if you can.

God Bless America.

E D U C AT I O N Sports, Grades Fuel Scholarships For Sooner

By Sara Cagle

Special Contributor Hillcrest High School graduate D’Juan Taylor always liked sports, but they gave him more than fun memories and athletic accolades this year.

His academic achievements and commitment to athletics won him $22,300 in scholarships, which Taylor will use to attend the University of Oklahoma.

Among Taylor’s six awards were the competitive Nancy Lieberman and Dallas Mavericks scholarships.

The Mavericks winners were invited to a game, where Taylor took a selfie with Mark Cuban.

“It was pretty fun,” Taylor said. “At halftime, we got to go down to half court and got honored with our scholarships.”

Taylor played basketball, baseball, golf, and varsity football for Hillcrest and was an active member in the academic service organization Key Club.

When he visited OU his sophomore year, he knew it was the school for him.

“I just got a feel for the campus – it stood out to me,” he said. “The people are very friendly up there, and their history with athletics is also a plus.”

Taylor transferred to Hillcrest from Lincoln High School after his freshman year and was reluctant to play football at first.

But during his senior year, he joined the team as corner-

“It was honestly one of the L E F T : D’Juan Taylor takes a

best experiences of my life with the guys,” he said. “This year, we played Woodrow Wilson on their homecoming, and we beat them pretty bad. That was a pretty exciting moment.”

Taylor said that his time at Hillcrest made him feel ready for college; rigorous courses prepared him for university academics, while working with teammates through sports taught him skills for interacting with others.

“It’s pretty exciting finishing one stage of your life and conquering another,” he said. “I’m excited about meeting new people from different places, joining different clubs, and networking with people, so when the time comes for me to graduate, I’ll have jobs lined up.”

As for his future in athletics?

“I would like to play a sport up there,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”

Stanford Schools Good Shepherd in Teacher Training Workshop focuses on innovation

By Meredith Carey

Special Contributor Stanford’s Institute of Design is leaving California for the first time, heading east to Good Shepherd Episcopal School for a K-12 Educator Design Thinking Workshop on July 28-30.

The d.school, known for its design thinking process, gives

teachers skills to promote creativity and innovation across all subjects.

The workshop will host around 40 teachers from around the country for breakout sessions on empathy, mindfulness, and reasoning. Three Good Shepherd teachers made it out to the school’s workshop last year in Palo Alto, Calif.

“One thing they said that really stuck with me was something to the effect of, ‘We don’t want to change what you do. We want to change who you are,’” said Julie McLeod, director of technology at Good Shepherd.

“It made me a different person, one that sees problems differently and is geared toward action.”

The design institute agreed in December to send professors from its K-12 division to teach both creative and analytical approaches to boosting confidence and innovation in the classroom.

Laura Cole joined McLeod last year for the California workshop and uses the skills she learned in the school’s innovative space as the technology and design teacher.

Fourth-graders in Cole’s class

used the brainstorming process to work through an immigration experience for Mars. The kindergarteners used prototyping techniques to build leprechaun traps this past March.

“When you’re in a room with a group of people brainstorming with no judgment, you’ll have so many more good ideas than if you were sitting alone with a piece of paper,” Cole said.

Ten Good Shepherd faculty members — from lower school administrators to technology education teachers — will be joining the other workshop attendees. With less than three

months of application time, the workshop received over 80 applicants from 23 different schools. In McLeod’s eyes, it’s already a success.

“This is a partnership we’re working on for the long term,” McLeod said. “This is step two of the many stops along our journey together.”

Cole cannot wait for the workshop to impact more teachers, and students, around the country.

“You play hard and leave everything on the table,” she said.

“We learned so much last year that we didn’t want to leave.”

G R AD UATI ON

TWO REVOLUTIONS WERE DOCUMENTED

In their declaration of political independence, a committee of concerned businessmen illuminated the spirit and purposes of the American Revolution. Meanwhile, a Scot philosopher charted economic independence through the Industrial Revolution.

Thomas Jefferson, applying centuries of principles, drafted an unequivocal statement of free men with equal opportunity. In “The Wealth of Nations,” Adam Smith theorized that if free individuals used their resources to produce profit, it could also benefit the public interest.

Having declared the right to establish commerce, America gave Smith’s theory its first trial run. The Profit Motive required a proper setting. Instead of a master economic plan, sorely needed after the long war, American entrepreneurs worked to create the right political framework.

When our new Constitution vowed to protect the rights of an individual, it was recognition that political and economic liberties stand or fall together. Our founders figured a business system giving free play to individuals and voluntary groups would induce a kind of co-action impossible under centralized government planning.

Smith was right. As were Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Madison and the other originators. Profit, the economic carrot, produced more than the stick. Individual initiative and free association worked wonders. Out of this unsystematic system called free enterprise grew a self-reliant nation and market economy that transformed the world. Shared is the understanding that business-for-profit isn’t an end in itself, but it makes achievement of great ends possible.

Since our firm’s founding here in 1985, we have invested in education, the arts, and a wide range of social problem-solving.

We believe there should be no conflict between seeking profit and serving the public good.

When free and enterprising, all can achieve a broad range of social goals with creativity and effectiveness. Yes, we are entrepreneurs and business people. Before that, we are citizens.

As such, we bear responsibilities, clearly stated over 2,000 years ago in Athens: “ONE CITIZEN MAY DIFFER WITH ANOTHER, BUT THE SALVATION OF THE COMMUNIT Y IS THE COMMON BUSINESS OF US ALL.”

We celebrate freedom... and exceptional enterprise.

Common concern for the common good.

BUSINESS

CAMPS ARE MUSIC TO KIDS’ EARS Couple’s love of learning leads work

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Allen and Gila Selis are people who believe in education. As the operators of Tech EdVentures and Music Together Dallas, respectively, they believe that education is something parents and children can do together.

For Gila, her story with Music Together Dallas began when she took her then 9-month-old daughter to a class in 2001.

“I loved my demo class so much that I asked the owner of the business if I could take the training to teach on Sunday mornings,” she said. “That magical feeling that I felt touched my soul right there and then, that very first class.”

The South Africa native began teaching six days a week until she finally bought the business in 2007.

Both Gila’s and Allen’s programs include parent-and-child style workshops, classes, and camps.

“There are so many children in our culture who grow up consuming music, not making it. Parents put on CDs,” she said.

“I grew up singing and dancing. So when I was in this environment where there were non-performance-oriented mommies and daddies just making music for music’s sake with their little ones … I don’t even know how to describe that feeling. I just knew I had to be a part of it.”

Gila began studying how the brain processes and responds to this kind of learn-

ing. She continues to go to conferences to learn more.

“At the time that kids are developing brain cells the fastest and setting patterns for the rest of their lives, the more stimulation that you have and the more different kinds of avenues help develop them for long-term learning,” Allen said. “It’s incredible. If you could make a choice between doing math drills with kids at 5 years old and doing music, music’s like 20

times more important.”

Allen obtained a doctorate degree in education and served as a headmaster in Palo Alto, Calif., before moving to Texas and starting Tech EdVentures.

The beauty of both programs is that they blend completely different learning styles, both creative and technical. Gila’s hands-on music classes not only encourage creativity, but they also teach motor and auditory skills.

Similarly, though Allen’s classes focus on STEM-based learning, they, too, encourage creativity.

“We want kids to get hands-on with things, we want them to be intrigued, we want them to see this as playful and a chance to explore,” he said. “If you don’t know anything about computer code, I really believe you’re functionally illiterate.”

Expanding Harrison Family Footwear Brand is a Shoe-In

By Meredith Carey

Special Contributor “I went away to college having absolutely no doubt that I wanted to come into the business. I graduated from OU on a Saturday and started working here on Monday,” said Eric Harrison. “That was 29 years ago.”

For Harrison and his brother Kai, joining the family shoe business, the Remac Group, was a no-brainer. And while the company itself may not be a household name, one of its brands will resonate with Preston Hollow residents: J. Reneé.

A staple in Preston Royal Vil-

lage for the past 17 years, the boutique supplies local women with unique heels, flats, sandals, and handbags. Named after the Harrisons’ mother, Joyce Reneé, the brand that started it all when Reneé and her husband Micky founded the company 37 years ago is finding new companions on the shelves.

In early June, the brothers, who took the reins of the family business in 2008, launched four shoe lines at a New York trade show, adding shoes from Kay Unger, Phoebe by Kay Unger, and L’Amour Des Pieds alongside new designs from J. Reneé.

Eric and Kai acquired the three

other brands within the last year, expanding their reach beyond their classic original brand, all of which can be found at Nordstrom, Zappos, and Dillard’s, among other stores.

“We want to give more value than what the customer is paying for. In all of our shoes, the design aesthetic is that we make designs that are forever.

That doesn’t mean they are necessarily classic,” said Kai. “Fashion changes every year, but style never changes.”

The Remac Group has every style covered, from more tra-

But it’s the family connection that makes the Remac Group such a successful company, according to the Preston Hollow natives.

Eric, Kai, and their parents all live within a three-mile radius of one another.

“Learning from our parents was interesting growing up. Because they were husband and wife, the board meetings they would have would be in the bathroom and the kitchen,” said Kai. “We’d love to figure out every aspect that we could of how they did what they did.”

A cousin, Coby Spark, serves as the chief information officer, and the siblings’ aunt recently retired after years in sales. To the brothers and to their parents, that family extends even beyond blood.

“There are people still here who have been here since the very beginning. It’s a testament to the culture that our parents built,” Eric said.

Preston Hollow resident Melissa Plaskoff enrolled her 9-year-old son, Hudson, in a Tech EdVentures camp and was pleased with the results.

“There are a lot of different camps focusing on the popularity of STEM,” she said.

“This camp focuses on community throughout. They work in groups. They really like for children to express their thoughts and work as a team to put together programming and gaming.”

Tech EdVentures, which as of now has two locations in the area, has run a camp at Highland Park Presbyterian Day School by special request.

Music Together Dallas has a number of locations in the area, with one at Tiferet Israel at Hillcrest Road and Royal Lane.

Both programs have a series of courses and camps running throughout the summer, divided by age group and interest.

“These days, so many children are behind the screen alone,” Plaskoff said. “When they are at [Tech EdVentures], they have to take a second to step away from that screen time and talk about what they’re developing. They can apply it and grow from it.”

“I came from a large corporate environment, and the culture here is just different,” she said. “We have fun every single day because we enjoy each other, we have a mutual respect for each other, and we all believe in the brands.”

At least 75 percent of the company’s employees have worked with the Harrisons for at least 20 years.

“Our parents ran their business completely differently from everyone else. They just built a reputation in our industry of being honest, being friendly,” Eric said. “And I think that’s their legacy.”

SPORTS Hometown Galleries Shower Love on Spieth

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers The golfer with the largest galleries at the Byron Nelson Championship wasn’t anywhere to be found on the final leaderboard.

That golfer, of course, is Jordan Spieth, whose weekend at his hometown PGA Tour event in late May might have been somewhat frustrating in terms of results, even though his enthusiastic supporters didn’t seem to mind.

“It was really cool walking these fairways, walking up to the greens, seeing these huge galleries that were supporting,” Spieth said. “This is a special week for me, and it lived up to it this year. I’ve improved from the last couple years as a professional. If I can continue to do so, maybe I’ll have a chance to win one of these.”

The Preston Hollow native and former Jesuit standout handled all the attention with poise and good spirits, smiling to fans between holes and signing plenty of autographs from a youth clinic until the final putt.

“It’s odd because a lot of the time I see my friends and family out here, and I just want to go hang out with them, and obviously I need to stay focused,” Spieth said.

“But it’s definitely a comfortable feeling seeing people that I know. It doesn’t go unnoticed, even though sometimes I’ll just walk right through the ropes and on to the next hole.”

The popularity of Spieth, of course, has surged since his runaway victory at the Masters in April that placed him atop the tour’s points standings. By his standards,

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

Adoring fans wait for a glimpse of Jordan Speith at the Byron Nelson Championship in May.

Speith takes time to sign autographs.

Spieth’s performance was mediocre at the Nelson. He finished in a tie for 30th place and only had one standout round, when he tallied seven birdies and carded a 5-under par 64 on Friday. He wound up 11 shots behind champion Steven Bowditch.

The 21-year-old phenom has played the tournament at the TPC Four Seasons more than any other in his career. Yet in five appearances, he has never placed better than 16th, and that was in his debut at age 16 in 2010.

Spieth has come a long way since then, but he’ll never forget that debut and the

impact it’s had on his career in the ensuing five years.

“It’s cool being on that 10th tee box and remembering the first shot that I ever hit in a professional tournament,” Spieth said. “That tournament allowed me to realize that I can do this, that I can eventually come out here and play professional golf, do it for a living and thoroughly enjoy it. I was able to see how much time and effort they put into it. So at an early age, I was able to experience that, which helped me and made every other tournament seem a little bit easier.”

Jeffett is Perfect Match For Tennis Hall of Fame

By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Nancy Jeffett had lured in the best women’s tennis players in the world to Dallas with a promise of unprecedented prize money. The trouble was, she didn’t know if she could pull it off.

“I told them I was going to give them $40,000, and I didn’t have a penny of it,” Jeffett Nancy recalled. “It was Jeffett pretty gutsy when I look back on it. They believed in me. They had no guarantees that I would produce.”

She did produce, thanks to a friend at Dallas Country Club who talked 200 of his friends into donating $250 apiece into the pot for

the winner of the Maureen Connolly Brinker Cup in the 1960s.

It came during a time when women’s tennis wasn’t anywhere near the level it is today. And it was Jeffett’s gamble more than 50 years ago that helped pave the way for Martina Navratilova, Serena Williams, and other future superstars.

In July, the Greenway Parks resident will join many of those great players as an inductee into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I. She started as a player in her native St. Louis, but her career didn’t last long despite her ranking as the 10th best junior player in the world during the 1940s.

Instead, she focused her attention behind the scenes.

As a tournament organizer, Jeffett founded both the Brink-

er event and the Virginia Slims of Dallas, which was a regular stop on the pro tour for more than a decade.

“That tournament was the first big women’s event in the United States,” Jeffett said. “There were men who told me I couldn’t make it happen.”

When Navratilova came to the United States from her native Czechoslovakia at age 16, she played Jeffett’s tournament before any others. And in addition to organizing the first women’s event for prize money, she also was the first to put matches on television.

At first, Jeffett operated the tournament from her garage apartment. By the end of its run, when it became more difficult to raise the funding through sponsopships, she was able to sell the tour slot for $1 million to a Japanese group try-

ing to expand the sport there.

Jeffett was a longtime Wightman Cup and Federation Cup chair and captain of the U.S. team.

“She was a pioneer,” said longtime friend Betty Harlan. “Nancy could sell anything. She has done more to start up women’s tennis than anybody.”

Perhaps her most noteworthy accomplishment was starting the Maureen Connolly Brinker Foundation in honor of her close friend who died of cancer in 1969. Although the pro tournament that bears Brinker’s name is defunct, the foundation still runs the prestigious “Little Mo” junior tournament each year in Dallas that has become a stepping stone for such high-profile players as Andy Roddick and Sloane Stephens.

Jesuit lost 2-1 to Cypress Ranch in the Class 6A state semifinals on June 12 in Round Rock to finish the Rangers’ best season since joining the UIL in 2003.

“We decided to do everything that we could to carry on the mission,” Jeffett said.

“I know she would be proud. We’ve had so much fun doing it.”

Jeffett has become friends over the years with some of the top women’s players in the world, even inviting many of them to her home when they were in town.

She has been an advocate in recent years

for gender equality in terms of prize money at major tournaments.

Even though she’s slowed down at age 87, Jeffett still travels to tournaments when she can, and otherwise follows the results closely on television. It’s reflective of her passion for the game that’s still as lively as ever, and the reason for receiving the sport’s highest honor.

“I love the game,” she said, “and it’s been a great part of my life.”

We believe in heart & soul.

What is the future of Preston Center? A better question might be, when is the future of Preston Center?

That’s the dilemma that has two developers at odds with vocal residents from both the Park Cities and Preston Hollow over a pair of luxury-apartment developments that both sides agree could start a trend in the area surrounding the venerable retail development.

Crosland Group hopes to secure approval from the city of Dallas this summer for Highland House, a 22-story project on a 0.5-acre site in the 8200 block of Westchester Drive that would replace an aging three-story medical building.

Next up is Transwestern, which has submitted plans for a complex on the northeast corner of Preston Road and Northwest Highway that would reach as high as six stories at its peak.

LIVING WELL Finding a Suite Solution During Brain Surgery

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Brain surgery still isn’t child’s play, but neurosurgeons’ jobs at UT Southwestern Medical Center just got a little easier — or rather, a lot more efficient.

As of January, the center has a hybrid cerebrovascular operating suite, which will allow doctors to adapt to a patient’s needs in high-stakes surgery more easily.

“The suite has two components: one that it’s an operative suite, the second is that it’s an endovascular suite,” Park Cities resident and neurointerventional surgeon Lee Pride said.

What does that mean in layman’s terms? When doctors need to get to a blockage in the brain, say from a stroke, there are two ways to go about it: one is cranially, and the other is endovascular, where doctors follow blood vessels from the groin up to the brain, similar to some cardiac procedures. Traditionally, the endovascular procedure is done in an angiography suite.

But now, either procedure can be done in the same suite.

“You have a room that is big

C O U R T E SY P H O T O

Two Park Cities doctors were instrumental in starting a new hybrid cerebrovascular operating suite earlier this year at UT Southwestern Medical Center. enough to hold all of the angiographic equipment as well all of the surgical equipment and a table that is built for angiography,” said Hunt Batjer, a Park Cities resident and the hospital’s chairman of neurological surgery.

Pride said he has seen three or four cases in the past few

months that specifically require both procedures. Though endovascular is more minimally invasive, if a clear path is not possible, the doctors must pursue a cranial operation, which would typically require rescheduling all together.

“It makes it very convenient if you have an environment that

doesn’t sacrifice anything,” he said. “We can just go immediately into the surgical approach … it just gives us a lot of flexibility.”

Babu Welch, associate professor of neurological surgery and radiology, is trained in both procedures and was instrumental in the $3 million design of the suite at the Zale Lipshy Univer-

sity Hospital, which was funded both publicly and privately.

With the suite’s high-resolution imaging equipment, aneurysms, carotid artery disease, and other conditions can now be diagnosed right there.

“It is unbelievably convenient and rapid. If you’ve got a problem, you know it right then,” Batjer said.

He explained that there are a number of factors that need to be controlled during these procedures, such as head movements. What if a patient coughs under anesthesia? The new operating suite includes radiolucent pins to hold patients’ heads perfectly still to avoid such problems. In addition, there is the necessary angiogram following the procedure’s completion.

“In the old days, we would close the wound, put a dressing on it, and then go across and do an angiogram,” Batjer said.

“That’s the kind of circumstance that this suite eliminates for us.

It all happens bang, bang, bang.”

UT Southwestern is the only facility in the region that has been certified as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center

by The Joint Commission.

“From the time my second daughter was born until the time he passed away, it was really chaotic in my house,” the Park Cities resident said. “And I couldn’t find an agency. I went through several in Dallas and I couldn’t find anyone to help us — someone that could come in and assimilate into our home.”

Because she couldn’t find help through an agency, Scheble decided to take matters into her own hands. She began recruiting freelance nurses, and that’s who helped her and her family during the last two months of her husband’s life.

“It really was amazing; it was just a gift,” she said. “And I’ve realized there’s a big difference

So Scheble took her human resources background and founded FHL Home Care, which provides in-home care. FHL stands for faith, hope and love, and phonet-

ically, it’s also her late husband’s name — Phil.

FHL Home Care is made up of about 15 certified nurse assistants, Scheble said. The CNAs help with a variety of things, from medication reminders to meal preparation to driving the patients to doctor appointments.

But Scheble, who is executive director and founder of FHL, takes it a step further and ensures

it’s a right match for the patient and CNA. Depending on the patient’s needs or circumstances, she matches a CNA depending on their skills. For instance, if a patient has small children, Scheble knows the CNA must be ready to attend to the children’s needs — something Scheble required with her in-home care.

One of the CNAs who helped take care of Scheble’s late husband is Tonya Walls, who is now a CNA for FHL. She said in-home care is typically the better option for patients.

“I feel it’s important because the patient is at home, number one,” Walls said. “A lot of times when you have a patient that is confused and you take them out of their home environment, it makes it worse. It makes some patients become very depressed.

Anytime you’re in a home, it just makes you feel better. But as you get older and someone takes you out of your home, you lose some of your will to live. It just takes

away a lot from patients. So inhome care is always the best if possible.”

Walls is responsible for her patient’s immediate care and said FHL allows her to get to know her patients on a more personal level.

Scouting is family affair for new board chair

By Meredith Carey

People Newspapers From Brownie to Junior Scout in Oklahoma City to a troop leader for her daughters and later a Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas board member, Kit Addleman has already made her own mark in Scouting.

Now, as the recently elected board chair for Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, the Preston Hollow resident is ready to continue not only her legacy but that of her famous Girl Scout family.

It’s common knowledge that Juliette Gordon Low, a Georgia native, founded the girls’ organization in 1912. Low’s best friend, Mary Gale Carter, was with her every step of the way, and Carter’s daughter, Anne Choate, was Low’s goddaughter. To Addleman, Choate and Carter are family.

“We call Kit ‘Girl Scout royalty,’” said Jennifer Bartkowski, CEO of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas.

Carter, Addleman’s great-great-greatgrandmother, and Choate, her great-great aunt, have always played a role in Addleman’s scouting career, and even more so

When Tracy Virant had a stroke nearly 14 years ago, she had to do something to begin the healing process.

Through a recommendation from a family member, Virant was connected with Patsy Shropshire, a stay-at-home mom and physical therapist.

Together, Shropshire and Virant work out twice per week for one hour, and both women agree that Virant has improved since starting the workouts.

“You could say I had a very bad stroke,” Virant said. “My right side is totally disabled and I walk with a cane. People who see me say that I’ve improved 200 percent.”

However, Virant isn’t Shropshire’s only patient. Shropshire formed a club called Women With Balls because she noticed mothers tend to take care of their children but not themselves. To better teach wellness, she said she aims to help the mothers with preventative care, proper exercise, proper posture, and plant-based eating.

“Women With Balls is a program — it’s the practice and education of a healthy lifestyle,” said Shropshire, a Preston Hollow resident. “We’ve been together over 12 years and it’s a group of women, about 18 women, and we work out together at least three times a week.”

The group, which got its name because the women often work out with stability balls, mainly goes by WWB. Its

Ambassador Recalls Middle East Turmoil P I V O TA L M O M E N T S

By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers You could say that Robert Jordan’s life has turned out to be a real-life episode of “The West Wing.” But there’s much more to it than that.

It all started when the Preston Hollow lawyer represented George W. Bush before he became governor. From there, the two maintained a relationship over many years. Jordan never knew that relationship would eventually land him the ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia and from there, the role of author.

“When he was elected president, I called to congratulate him,” Jordan said. “He said he’d like for me to serve in his administration.”

As it turns out, the Saudi Arabian government refuses to give diplomatic credentials to a “career ambassador,” but instead requests someone who has the president’s ear.

“I had lived abroad, I had studied a few languages, but I had never been to the Middle East,” Jordan said. “I had no prior diplomatic experience.”

Suddenly, Jordan’s role became all the more crucial.

“I knew that second that my life had changed forever,” Jordan said.

nessing many difficult challenges and navigating through many trials. Afterward, he knew he had to write a book about the experience.

“I felt that I had a story to tell,” he said. “This was really a unique experience for some-

one who had no diplomatic experience to be thrust into an atmosphere right after 9-11 in one of the most important relationships the United States has, and trying to fight through issues of extremism, human rights, military activity, intelligence threats,

and bombings.”

In order to get all of that together, Jordan teamed up with writer Steve Fiffer, who had worked on former Secretary of State James Baker’s memoir.

“It didn’t take long to realize that he had been in one of the hottest, most dangerous spots in the world during a critical period in recent history,” Fiffer said. “That immediately made the project attractive, plus the feeling that we connected and it would be fun to work with him.”

Jordan, working back in law at the time, was stationed in Dubai, so the two would spend hours on Skype going over drafts of chapters and reviewing details of certain events such as room descriptions and dialogue. “[Some] chapters were collaborative, with me writing the first draft based on our conversations and then sending it to him for rewrite,” Fiffer said.

All in all, Jordan hopes that readers will not only gain insight into foreign relations, but also get a glimpse into a very specific field of public life.

“There’s an audience out there that wants an inside story of what the life of somebody like an ambassador is like,” he said.

Desert Diplomat is available for purchase starting July 1.

“It’s a profile of a person who was thrown into an incredibly challenging situation,” Jordan said. “It shows that with the right attitude, hard work, and surrounding yourself with the right people, you can be successful.”

Dozens of earthquakes in the Dallas area this year have some folks a bit, well, shaken up. But should local residents and business owners be concerned, or are they just being paranoid?

Will the temblors become more frequent or more powerful? And how will it affect the real-estate market in Preston Hollow, which is just a few miles from the most concentrated area of seismic instability?

“If this was two years ago, if you were to ask me the last place I would expect to see an earthquake, I would say Texas, and specifically Dallas,” said Joshua Marrow, technical director of structural engineers with Partner Engineering and Science in San Francisco.

Yet in 2013, Texas was sixth in the country in the total number of earthquakes by state, well behind California, according to the United States Geological Survey. And those numbers have risen since. However, while the frequency is increasing, the quakes here aren’t damaging, and the chances for a major earthquake remain extremely remote, Marrow said.

Generally speaking, a 2.5 magnitude quake is detectable by humans. Most of the local quakes this year have ranged from 2.5 to about 3.6, which is insignificant to West Coast residents who have become accustomed to such tremors almost every day.

In California, earthquakes have historically driven building-code revisions. But Marrow said that structural engineers in Texas tend to design buildings for wind resistance, not earthquakes. Still, office towers can easily withstand the minor temblors we’ve seen so far, which might cause minor architectural damage but no structural damage.

“These earthquakes will not change the way we build buildings in Texas — not in my lifetime,” Marrow said at a recent luncheon hosted by the Dallas chapter of Commercial

Tony Adamo, a geotechnical engineer with Drash Consultants in San Antonio, said high premiums and deductibles have steered most commercial developers away from insurance, since the low risk isn’t worth the cost, which would likely be passed on to tenants.

However, it’s more affordable for homeowners, even if it’s not really necessary.

“These things are probably going to continue,” Marrow said, “but they’re probably not going to wreck your house.”

Real Estate Women. “These are discussion topics, and not things you need to be worried about in commercial real estate.”

Yet that hasn’t stopped Dallas attorney Joe Willoughby from receiving more frequent inquiries from local business owners about earthquake insurance.

“It has not been readily available in Texas, but that might change,” Willoughby said. “I don’t know that we need it in every case, but people want to have that risk covered.”

CONTINUED FROM GIRL SCOUT ON 29 different.”

Addleman, along with the general board members, will spend the next years elevating the brand and spreading the word about Girl Scouts around the community.

“A lot of people think well of Girl Scouts, but think only cookies, camps, and crafts. We want them to think of Girl Scouts as leadership. Our board members communicate why investing in girls is such an important investment in the community,” Bartkowski said. “They set a vision for where we want to go and a strategy for how to impact the lives of girls.”

Addleman has already seen the impact on her three daughters, two of whom served through the Cadet level and one who is currently a Girl Scout.

“Now, between me and my

daughters, I can see the benefit that Girl Scouts has given us, in terms of courage and the opportunity to experiment and figure out what you’re good at in a very safe learning environment,” she said. “Frankly, that’s the reason why I want my 8-year-old to have the same experience as the older girls. You can try all of those different things, and decide, ‘I might want to go to the next level with this.’ You just don’t get that same breadth of experience in the classroom.”

As Addleman settles in to her position, Bartkowski trusts that the organization is in good hands.

“Kit really gets it,” Bartkowski said. “Girl Scouts is the foundation for any other activity, so when my own daughter chooses volleyball or student council, she has that basis of self-esteem and leadership that girls need no matter what they do with their lives.”

The members of the group not only strive to take care of themselves but also the community as a whole. Each year, WWB hosts a fun run and breakfast with all of the proceeds going to a special charity. It has donated to an array of causes, including Austin Street Center, a local chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, and even the medical bills of a young woman who died.

But it’s the friendships surrounding WWB that Shropshire

“So we know wellness includes exercise and nutrition, but so a good part of wellness is to have a support system and to have some humor in your life and to have friendships and interactions.

“And to watch these ladies, I see they’re also getting a lot of support from each other and a lot of friendships develop here, so certainly I’m proud of all the exercise they do and all the education that I’m giving them about wellness, but I’m seeing that they’re developing longtime friendships and support for each other.”

Not Everyone Celebrates Freedom

J

uly is our month dedicated to celebrating freedom; it’s when school kids and teachers are on break, when a significant part of the population chooses to take a vacation, often to one of our national parks to see our landmarks.

It’s the Fourth of July, when President John Adams declared that the commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence should be “solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other.”

He forgot the watermelon, barbecue, and beer, but as a renowned quaffer of ale, no doubt he would have approved of our celebrations today. Whatever our faults and differences, and they are hurled at us 24/7 in our age of incessant telecommunications. A whole lot of the planet would still like to pour into our land to experience what we Americans so often take for granted: the freedom to complain, to get furious with our government, to make as much money or seek as much celebrity as we can think up, the freedom to reproduce at will, the freedom to read anything we can lay our hands on, to dress and dance with abandon, and to worship (or not) pretty much as we please. The list goes on and on, despite our increased rules and regulations.

So why then did the Catholic and Episcopal churches in Dallas recently host the first-ever Symposium on Human Trafficking, #StopSlaveryDallas? Say what?

We have slavery in Dallas, in Texas, in this country 150-plus years after the end of the Civil War? Surely this is the hyperbole of the media today.

Nope. Human trafficking is not to be confused with illegal immigrants coming across our

LEN BOURLAND borders after paying “mules” to sneak them across the Rio Grande. Human trafficking is a couple of things, but it is defined as “ongoing exploitation through force, fraud and coercion.” It is involuntary servitude to terrified, marginalized men, women, and children being held against their will often hiding in plain sight.

The mayor, police, immigration attorneys, and clergy addressed an overflow crowd in this first consciousness-raising effort this spring. The first category of slaves is the foreign workers seeking paid, advertised work opportunities that are bogus. Instead they are herded into offsite cheap, usually unsanitary housing, then beaten, starved, and intimidated into working menial agricultural jobs without ever seeing their promised money. They have had their papers confiscated, are threatened with harm to family, or threats of prison without any knowledge of their rights or language skills to question. They are trapped without hope. Many die.

Bill Bernstein, co-chair of Freedom Network USA, identified several other groups. Some migrant workers — upon discovery that the jobs for which they applied were merely bait for servitude — may be forced to work as nannies or manicurists also without being paid, having their paperwork taken away, and similarly threatened.

Begin to peruse the places you frequent and ask questions. One example given was of a boys choir from Zambia that performed

around town but was locked into deplorable facilities by its sponsor, had its funds confiscated, and was threatened with harm to family members back home, then physically assaulted if the choristers complained. Another example given was of an exterminator in a home who noticed a woman hiding in the shadows. He called police, who later rescued an enslaved nanny from Indonesia.

A third group of those in peonage are Americans, mostly girls, sold into prostitution to support their drug habits or for money in low-income areas.

Jeanne Phillips, a former U.S. ambassador and an advocate for New Friends New Life, estimates as many as 432 children a night are on the streets. There is a call to action to develop a symbol for faith-based organizations that would signal to anyone who is being violated that he or she could come in for rescue.

Then there is the sickest of all criminals: those who transport enslaved foreign children in vans from transient motels and cheap apartments from town to town, forcing them to engage in sex acts from those recruited from porn sites on the Internet.

These children, from as far away as Southeast Asia, are either abducted or sold by their families and have no language skills when smuggled in.

It is estimated that there are anywhere from 25-35 million people on the planet who are in slavery. Some are in Dallas. They are in Texas. They are in our country in the shadows of the free. These are not illegal immigrants seeking citizenship. These are enslaved people in dark places in need of more than the illumination of fireworks.

So while we enjoy our holiday, let us remember why we were founded. There is work to be done in the land of the free.

ood photographer Claire McCormack Hogan has an impressive list of clientele—The Ritz Carlton, FIJI Water, The Superbowl XLV, and Southern Living, to name a few. But no matter the name or brand, she treats every client with the highest honor. “Working as a chef is a vulnerable career—they pour their lives into creating food and are subject to so much criticism,” Hogan says. “It is an honor to be trusted to tell their stories well and to capture the beauty of their work.”

4831 Shadywood Lane $3,895,000 ANNE GOYER | 214.457.0417 agoyer@briggsfreeman.com

Only six months after Hogan graduated from the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University, she quit her stable PR job to pursue a more hands-on and creative venture. And within two and a half years, Hogan had built a network of New From Dallas to Fort Worth, New York and L.A. food photographer York editors and designers who trusted her enough to Claire McCormack Hogan translates delicious food from plate to photo. follow when she launched out on her own.

Today, Hogan attributes her success in the business to the clients, designers, and artists who first took a chance and gave Hogan opportunities as a young photographer. But I don’t think they were doing her any favors. Hogan is relational, creative, hardworking, and talented: Who wouldn’t want to work with such a photographer?

In fact, the Dallas-Ft. Worth area has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the United States. And, similar to New York, Dallas also has the resources to value such a luxurious craft as food photography. And yet the industry of food photographers remains small. It’s why when a restaurant gets the chance to work with Hogan, they come back for seconds.

From the beginning of her career, Hogan was inspired by chef’s who felt that food was their art.

“The artist in me loved being in an industry and niche market that was working with chef’s who loved what they were creating,” Hogan says. And to find such artistry not in Soho but in her hometown was remarkable.
