’m a newspaper publisher, but I’m also a mom, a volunteer, an advocate, and an activist. I know, that last one is a dirty word these days. Here’s what Merriam-Webster says about activism: “a doctrine or practice that emphasizes direct vigorous action, especially in support of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue.” Okay, so not so bad, right? When the economy hit the skids and I left publishing for a couple of years, I had it in my head that I was going to do something to feed my soul. I tried my hand at nonprofit work and also investigated the possibility of starting a business around one of my passions, food-waste diversion. The latter was not a feasible business model at the time, and in business, timing is everything. The nonprofit work I did was for a well-respected organization that is doing great work, but it wasn’t something I could feel passionate about. I’ve learned to open my eyes to opportunities that present themselves to me, discovering things through quieting my mind, praying, and journaling. I found that if I get what’s on my mind down on paper, I’m clearing space for what is really important. Outside of work, I’ve started volunteering for my church community, I’m involved with their school, and I work with a group whose mission is to serve the poor. Through that work, I’ve met people that I would not have otherwise met, and have had the opportunity to work on a project that is very meaningful and important.

PIPE DREAMS COME TRUE Custom organ reinvigorates St. Mark’s chapel By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers A brand-new, custom-built pipe organ is music to everyone’s ears at St. Mark’s School of Texas. After all, it’s been a project in the works for about five years. That’s when Tinsley Silcox came on to lead the boys’ choir. He noticed that the organ didn’t seem to be a perfect fit in the campus’ chapel. Others had known it, too. “After I got here, I was going through files from the previous choirmaster and discovered a folder of information on getting a new organ for the chapel,” he said. “I looked at information and realized there was interest.” Silcox got in touch with an old colleague in the music division of Trinity University, David Heller. Silcox then hired Glenn Stroh as the school’s organist and assistant

choirmaster. “The organ was on its last legs,” Silcox said. “The pedal division gave out, and the woodwork was separating.” Silcox explained that the organ had not been built for that chapel — it had been built for the campus’ old chapel, and then moved to the new one in 1988. It just didn’t fill the space in the same way. For example, one traditional piece usually played at baccalaureate needed brass accompaniment because the organ couldn’t complement the choir appropriately. Heller was hired as a consultant and a committee was formed to find a company to construct a custom organ for the space. The committee was made up of both faculty members and school trustees. Eventually, Letourneau of Quebec, Canada, was chosen to construct the instrument. “The wood was standing in the forest and the metal hadn’t been melted into pipes yet,” Silcox said. Due to the custom nature of the commission and the distance between Canada and Texas, Letourneau built the organ in Quebec, took it apart, shipped it to St. Mark’s, and reconstructed it on-site. “What people may not know is how it is a custom design for the space,” Stroh

said. “It makes a big difference in our needs as a school, supporting choral music, and what boys are doing in different capacities at chapel services. It’s an outlet for students that play other instruments to play along with the organ. The builders really put forth vision with respect to our needs.” Much went into the organ’s installation. Not only did the crew assemble each piece carefully on site, but the school had to completely refigure the HVAC system, the lighting, and the electrical system in the chapel to accommodate the new instrument. In total, the organ is made up of 3,432 individual pipes. The organ is used during weekly chapel services, evensong performances, lessons and carols, and baccalaureate. And the faculty, students, and St. Mark’s community members have all felt the difference it’s made. “My favorite memory was two-thirds through the build. A board member was coming down the sidewalk, and I asked her if she wanted to peek in. It was just the façade — there were no pipes yet,” Silcox said. “She burst into tears before you could even hear it. That’s the power of the instrument.”

The international flair this year at Preston Hollow Elementary School extends beyond the flags and murals from different countries that adorn the hallways. Tom Brandt already has noticed the difference in his students and teachers as they transition toward becoming the first Dallas ISD campus to offer a complete International Baccalaureate curriculum. For the school’s 450 students, that means learning from a more college preparatory framework based on global awareness and a more interactive environment. “We’re not looking at students as test scores,” said Brandt, the school principal. “We’re trying to develop them as human beings.” The switch was prompted in part by a group of neighbors who went to Dallas ISD administrators a couple of years ago asking for a more balanced literacy program. “The district embraced it,” said Raquel Patel, the mother of a kindergartner this year at PHES. “They were ready to speak with us, hear us out, and work with us. We have a lot of exciting new changes.” Patel said that since few private schools in the area have an IB program below the middle-school level, she chose PHES over a Montessori education. So far, she’s pleased with the results. “We’ve been taking it out to the community,” Patel said. “For parents who have gone to private schools, this is what we’re using to get them back.”

CONTINUED ON 9 W H AT I S I B ? nInternational Baccalaureate was started in 1968 by a Swiss nonprofit wanting a collaborative learning environment and skill development for a global world. nThe curriculum for primary grades focuses on six subject areas — language; social studies; mathematics; arts; science; and personal, social, and physical education. nIB schools must be accredited in order to call themselves IB World Schools. The process can take more than a year of evaluation.

Greenhill Runway Show Puts Teen Charity in Fashion By Meredith Carey

Special Contributor Planes surrounded the catwalk as the lights dimmed. Strutting down the runway came four feet of sass, Alex Ladin, the first of many student models in Greenhill’s fourth annual Runway for a Cause. The late January event, entirely student-run, benefited the Grant Halliburton Foundation, which works towards promoting mental health for teenagers. The event chairs, seniors Madison Pidgeon and Caroline Early, raised more than $8,000 for the charity. “We believe that it truly impacts the lives of teens who struggle with mental instability. We have teens in our school who struggle with mental illness,” Pidgeon said. “It really hit home to us that people our age were working through these issues.” For Pidgeon and Early, who gathered runway donations from local stores like Gypsy Wagon and Tootsies, organized sponsors like Kendra Scott and Shutterfly, and wrangled 60 models from kindergarten to 12th grade, the choice in a foundation to benefit from their hard

The Runway for a Cause fashion show raised more than $8,000 for the Grant Halliburton Foundation. work was easy. “There is nothing more beautiful than the good being done by these young people. The real beauty is seeing them reach out to embrace what is by far the most life-threatening issue of their own generation: mental health and suicide,” said Vanita Halliburton, president of the Grant Halliburton Foundation.

“Doing good is always in fashion.” The Grant Halliburton Foundation was founded in 2006 in memory of Vanita’s son, Grant, who comitted suicide at 19 after battling depression and bipolar disorder. “I love that they pick a charity each year that resonates with them and makes it meaningful

to all involved,” said Laura Ross, head of the Greenhill Upper School. “I am thrilled that they picked the Grant Halliburton Foundation both last year and this year, as I think the work they do in the Dallas community is critical.” Held in a hangar at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, there was not an empty seat

available. Wearing swim trunks, jumpsuits, kimonos, and other spring trends, the student models strutted their stuff with full hair and makeup, thanks to local beauty schools. Working with model fittings, high school schedules, marketing their event, and making sure all the pieces fell together was no easy task. “They have learned how to manage their peers which is always difficult, along with learning about PR, making connections with adults, and soliciting for donations from businesses,” Ross said. “They have also learned lessons about how to make an event self-sustaining by each year being intentional about training younger students to take over.” Pidgeon and Early received advice from the school’s administration and Sally Rosenberg, director of community service and service learning, but for the most part, organized the event on their own. “Greenhill is always looking for ways to support their students,” Early said. “This has been a great way to get the whole community involved that also brings an important issue to everyone’s attention.”

Preston Hollow Elementary School applied to become an IB World School last year.

CONTINUED FROM 6 School officials said they are trying to educate parents in a neighborhood filled with private-school options about the benefits of IB public education. “They want to give their child a chance to learn in a diverse environment,” said Nichole Brooks, the school’s IB coordinator. “Academic rigor is a big part of it.” The school introduced the IB Primary Years Programme last fall, and after a one-year evaluation period, hopes to become the district’s first certified school. Neighboring schools such as Kramer Elementary, Franklin Middle School, and Hillcrest High School aim to follow suit. “For us, it’s a change in the traditional way of teaching,” Brooks said. “It’s good to see the kids understanding it. When the kids are enthusiastic about something, that spills over to the teachers.” Debbie Sherrington, a mother of two students at Hillcrest and two more who graduated from there, said the changes at PHES are indicative of a positive trend that’s been ongoing for DISD. Enrollment numbers among middle-class families are starting to reflect that.

“All of our schools are doing so many awesome things,” Sherrington said. “The fact that people are jumping on the bandwagon is great, but we think that so many great things have been going on forever.” DISD trustee Mike Morath has been trying to sell the IB program as part of his picture of a changing school district. He said DISD has been steadily improving in the past decade despite some lingering negative stereotypes. “It’s happening at several different places for several different reasons,” said Morath, whose district includes the Hillcrest feeder pattern. “There’s so many little hidden gems in Dallas ISD.”

CAMP S

Summer Camps More Necessity Than Luxury The costs of summer overnight camp and programs may seem daunting to many families, especially those who pay for private schools. However, for working parents, camp is not a luxury but an essential part of the summer. With three months of summer to plan for, do you envision your child lying on the couch in front of the TV the whole time? Do you have thoughts of your teen plugged into an iPod or a book for three straight months? Or worse? It is a recurring issue for all parents, no matter what the age of their child is. Peoples Ad Feb 2015 OL.pdf Perhaps we should rethink

HELENE ABRAMS summer: instead of viewing it as endless hours for parents to coordinate activities, view it as part of your child’s education plan. Summer camps and programs offer your child an opportunity for learning new skills, preparing for independence, and developing pas1 2/10/15 12:20 PM sions that may extend to future

careers, or life long hobbies. Help is readily available to families picking a sleep away camp or teen program that matches their child’s interests and needs. Tips on Trips and Camps offers the following suggestions to make summer sleep-away camps and teen programs part or your child’s education plan: If your child… nIs an athlete, how about a sports specialty program to build those skills or a traveling sports trip or a program in sports management or broadcasting? n Loves the outdoors and

has outgrown camp, how about an outdoor adventure including rock-climbing, whitewater rafting, and hiking? n Loves the water, how about a sailing expedition or a marine biology program or working with dolphins or sea turtles? nIs inquisitive about other regions of the world, how about a language immersion or cultural exploration program? nHas an interest in the performing arts, how about a focused program in acting, set design, dance, music or filmmaking? n Wants to make a difference, consider a wide range

BUSINESS DISH to Stock Bar, Set Tables in New Home By Paige Kerley

People Newspapers When local restaurant savant Tim McEneny decided to open another DISH location, he thought of it as expanding his family. “It’s like having one child,” he said. “Isn’t it better to have another?” The new DISH Preston Hollow is scheduled to open in late February at the northwest corner of Hillcrest Road and Northwest Highway. The original, located in Oak Lawn, will be renamed DISH Cedar Springs. The idea for another location came a year ago at a kitchen table, when McEneny and an architect sketched out the “bones” of the new place. From there, the duo took it to consultants at Coeval Studio to “give the place a personality.” McEneny, the front man of consulting firm NL Group, describes the feel of the new place as very modern, “all white and jammed with heavy woods.” The Preston Hollow location is tailored to fit the clientele in the neighborhood, McEneny said. “You have to come to your audience to get people to enjoy it,” he said. For example, McEneny envisions an after-school happy hour so neighborhood moms can enjoy a glass of wine while their kids make s’mores around the restaurant’s fire pit. Diners at the new DISH can enjoy a spot at a table or grab a stool at the massive 50-foot bar. In the back, McEneny is adding Alison Morse, pastry chef from Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck and Front Room Tavern. Like DISH Cedar Springs, the menu will still be a collection of American classics with a gourmet twist. McEneny said roughly 75 percent of the menu at the new location will remain the same, but will allow room for the new chef to be creative.

Brothers Invent Smoke Screen ‘Shark Tank’ alums get busy with dry wipes By Meredith Carey

Special Contributor Smelling like cigarettes, Ben Kusin headed to a nearby convenience store. He hoped to find something that would freshen up his clothes before his next business meeting. “I asked the guy if he had anything that could help me, and he said he didn’t think it had been invented yet,” Ben said. Now, seven years and a successful stint on ABC’s “Shark Tank” later, the St. Mark’s graduate is the co-founder and CEO of Reviver, reusable dry wipes that eliminate odors left on clothing after trips to the gym or smoke breaks during work. Joined by brother and Reviver president Eric Kusin, the pair is taking the $150,000 investment from shark and QVC personality Lori Greiner, their line of products, and their entrepreneurial spirit on to the next step. The Reviver line offers intermediate freshness, much like a breath mint or dry shampoo, to last through the day, with options for pet owners, parents, smokers, and pheromone-infused Spark meant for singles looking to at-

tract a date. For the brothers, whose product can be found in Petco and Walgreens among other stores, the business is a true family affair. The duo’s mother, Karleen Kusin, co-owner of JK Chocolates — with whom they share an office — pushed them to join the show in the first place. After filming a “momtrepreneurs” segment on Katie Couric, featuring a few sharks, she encouraged her sons to apply online. Months later, out of 45,000 companies who auditioned for the sixth season of Shark Tank, the Kusins brought their product onto the show, at 8 a.m. on the first day of filming, just after the sharks had their first cup of coffee. Now, Reviver is looking forward, with its next step as a VIP sponsor at SXSW in the Artists Lounge, allowing them to expose their product to new, and famous, clientele. The brothers like to keep it all in the family. Eric left a job as a buyer at Neiman Marcus to join Ben, who committed full time to Reviver after leaving an interactive production company in Los Angeles. Their father, Gary Kusin, is an entrepreneur in his own right as founder of Babbages, the company that later became GameStop. He offered the $2 million initial investment and now provides advice as needed. “Eric and I, we’ve been working together since we were born. And to have someone like our father, with such tenure, to give advice — he’s the best

PREPPING THE PITCH Ben’s advice:

“Sometimes as an entrepreneur, you’re your own worst enemy. The first step is to get up the courage to take the risk. And taking that first step is often the hardest.” “Once you have an idea, you first have to ask people, your friends, your family, if they think it’s a good idea. Then reach out to a trusted business advisor and get their thought. If after all of that, you have a quorum that thinks your idea, your product, is viable, protect it. Know that when you get out there, or go on Shark Tank, and expose it, no one can take it from you.” Eric’s advice:

“Preparation is key. It’s really important to do your research and be confident in your product. Once you’re in front of the sharks, it’s just you and them.” “Don’t underestimate the importance of good advice.” in-house advisor,” Ben said. Both brothers have the same advice for burgeoning entrepreneurs: ask and listen, in all stages of the product.

Maintain Orderly Financial Records

ecuring the right documents is critical to filing accurate tax returns. Good record keeping is a yearlong task that helps relieve the stress of this annual ritual. Maintaining organized financial records helps individuals as well as small-business owners keep an eye on money coming in, money going out, and its impact on your tax return. Mailboxes are filling up with envelopes marked “important tax document.” If you opt for online delivery, be sure to watch for emails from financial institutions, brokers, and others notifying you that tax documents are available via their websites.

LIVING WELL Former Anorexic Finds Catharsis in Memoir By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Jordan Knape was just 13 years old when she was admitted to the hospital five days before Christmas. Doctors told her parents she probably wouldn’t survive the night. Just a few days before that, Knape attended a Christmas party with her mother Jordan where everyone Knape raved about how beautiful she looked. Knape was dangerously thin and suffering from anorexia, a disease common among middle-school and high-school girls. “Eating disorders have big influences like environmental trauma and all sorts of different things,” Knape said. For her, family dynamics and genetics came into play. But the final straw was a camping trip with her middle school class from Highland Park. Overnight, the boys in her class had ranked every girl in terms of looks. Knape had won “best body.” “Basically, I lost all my girl friends that morning, because all of the sudden I was competition,” she said. “All these boys that I had grown up with weren’t really my friends. They were looking at me in a way I wasn’t ready for. It made me aware of the culture I was growing into that I wasn’t really feeling comfortable about. It was a big moment for me.” That memory inspired the title of Knape’s memoir on recov-

FROM THE BOOK

“

A big, flaming, red-hot spark for my eating disorder boomed on a weeklong school campout in the seventh grade. The boys in my class made a list of the girls in the class and rated them from top to bottom. They itemized them. They picked off their parts and pieces and they said who had the best what and where. Of course the list only involved looks — what else was there to talk about? Best face, best body, best eyes, best lips, best arms, best butt, best legs, best breasts. On the list there were three spots for each item: a Number 1, a Number 2, and a Number 3. So, out of all the seventh and eighth grade girls from our school, there could only be 3 arms, 3 lips, 3 legs. And one of them was best, and one of them was worst, but still visible, still noticeable as a number 2 or 3. I appeared on the list a lot, and so did one of my best friends, but my other closest friend did not appear on the list at all. So how was I supposed to process that? What was I supposed to say to her, and she to me?” — C H A PTER 2: B E ST B O DY

ering from her eating disorder, Best Body: Pretty Miserable Perfectness. Knape now works as a freelance writer in New York, but she was able to complete her recovery at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas — after spending her 14th birthday in the hospital. She began writing her story at age 18, while she was still technically recovering. “I finally fully recovered at 21, but it was still an open wound to some degree,” she said. “Once you have an eating disorder that’s as severe as mine was, it’s really

hard to recover. But I fully recovered, which is a huge gift, and I wanted to figure out why.” By 24, she had finished her book and was ready for the editing and publishing process. She credits family as a major motivator in her successful recovery, including her younger sister, August. “After years of seeing her work on her Best Body memoir, and after reading numerous versions, it is exciting to see her hard work in a tangible form,” said August, a Hockaday graduate. “Her story is powerful and

I hope it helps others to understand the true complexity of eating disorders and just how life-threatening they are.” Knape now runs a website to go along with her book, and she executed a soft launch in November so the book could be available on Amazon. She’s planning an official launch in late March. She also hopes to embark upon speaking engagements to encourage girls and families who might be struggling with the same thing. “Recovery comes in steps, so it takes a long time,” she said.

“It’s not something you want to play with.” In addition to a supportive family and strong medical community, Knape credits catching the problem early as a major factor in a successful recovery. “The reality is that the longer you suffer without treatment, the harder it is to recover,” she said. “At the end of the day, recovery is a totally personal choice. It’s just a decision to live and be healthy instead of be in denial and hiding. The benefit is that [after recovery] you can have this full life.”

his year, I am checking off each of the final 365 days of my 30s. Pre-teens were born after the millennium, notable celebrities who have “stayed the same age” since my youth are suddenly looking “older,” and gas is less than $2 a gallon ... wait, one of these things does not belong. So, time is marching on. There is no getting around or defeating aging. A family friend with Alzheimer’s was recently moved to a very nice nursing home but the place still comes off as an institution — a hospital rather than a home. My grandparents fought (with success) to live out their lives in their own home. Surrounded by the familiar, the comfortable, it’s what most prefer — especially at a time when one is vulnerable and physically weakened. I certainly hope by the time I am in need of late-life assistance, we have modified our elderly care to something less clinical and more cozy. But in the meantime, a nursing home

STEPHANIE M. CASEY or non-family assisted care is common. How do we make the situation better for our aged and infirm population? Netflix recommended a documentary to me with one excellent solution: music. Alive Inside: A Story of Music & Memory follows social worker Dan Cohen as he brings joy and life back to those who have given up, shut down or receded into themselves. After a small amount of research or discussion with any given patient, Dan builds a playlist catered to the individual, gifts them an iPod and sets the headphones in place. Drawling largely on favorite and popular tunes from a person’s formative teen and

young adult years — that indelible time of youth when music speaks your language, communicates feelings, and comforts like nothing else can — almost without exception, the people come alive ... singing, dancing, smiling, laughing. For some, it’s the first sign of life in years. The music taps deep into the person’s soul and suddenly they are rattling off stories, memories, happy times — even folks greatly affected by Alzheimer’s. What a beautiful concept! An escape down memory lane. A break from loneliness. An emotional jar shaking up the mind and often physical body, as well. I brought some music to the family friend mentioned earlier and watched this happen before my eyes. It’s amazing to see, and Dan is working to make his music “treatment” available in as many nursing homes as he can. Check out the documentary, and if there is anyone in your life who could benefit from such music therapy, give them this wonderful gift.

RANGERS DIG THE DIAMOND Hill leads cast of returnees for talented Jesuit By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers A newspaper article on the wall of his bedroom still serves as inspiration for Darius Hill. It’s about Josh Bell, the former Jesuit outfielder who now is one of the top prospect in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Hill grew up admiring Bell, and when he entered Jesuit as a freshman, he gravitated toward the same spot in center field that Bell patrolled before being a second-round pick in the 2011 Major League Baseball draft. Now a senior, Hill is following capably in Bell’s footsteps. The left-handed hitter has received numerous All-American accolades, has traveled for all-star games throughout the country, and has already signed to play in college next season at West Virginia. Last season, Hill was among the top hitters in the Dallas area with a .515 average along with four home runs and 39 runs batted in. He also stole 11 bases and led the Rangers to the second round of the playoffs. Jesuit head coach Brian Jones credits Hill’s level of commitment and work ethic as reasons for his success. “Those are things that you don’t teach,” Jones said. “It’s the baseball version of a gym rat. You have to turn the lights off and lock the gate before he goes home.”

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

Senior outfielder Darius Hill has received numerous All-American accolades at Jesuit and has signed with West Virginia. Hill almost was a gym rat. Basketball has always been his second sport, and his father, Eddie, played at Washington State in the early 1990s. “Baseball is definitely the thing for me,” Hill said. “I’ve always had raw ability but I’ve been able to manifest that by working hard and never being content.” Although Hill draws the most headlines, he’s not the only reason why the Rangers have hopes for a deep playoff run this spring. Jesuit has a handful of key contributors returning from a squad that suf-

fered a heartbreaking loss to Rockwall in the Class 5A Region II area playoffs a year ago. Junior pitcher and outfielder Kyle Muller already is verbally committed to Texas, and is one of three pitchers on the roster with at least 25 innings of varsity experience. First baseman Nic Ready and catcher Bryce Bonner also are back on a seasoned roster that stems in part from the Rangers having started four sophomores two years ago.

“We’ve got some talented kids and we’ve got a lot of depth,” Jones said. “Every year, we want to take that next step. As long as we win, they don’t care who gets the credit.” Plus, the Rangers have extensively renovated their home field to include an allturf field and state-of-the-art batting cages. The setup resembles many college parks. “I don’t know if we can, but I’d like to fly under the radar,” Jones said. “But it helps if people can see the facilities and see the success of the program.”

Ursuline Soccer Trio Will Keep Kicking in College By Kelly Morris

Special Contributor Kate Hajdu, Katie Lund, and Jenny Neil spend a lot of time playing soccer together. The trio spent National Signing Day together, too. Hajdu and Lund signed their letters of intent with Texas A&M and Boston College, respectively, and Neil will continue her soccer career at Rhodes College, a Division III school in Memphis, Tenn. “We’re all friends,” Lund said. “Kate and I grew up playing soccer together, and we’re on the same club team. It’s really fun to sign with your best friends.” Lund and Hajdu, both four-

year starters and team captains, committed to their respective schools as sophomores, so they’re excited it’s now official. Their club team, Sting Soccer, won the Elite Club National League National Championship in Richmond, Va. All three players celebrated with their families, teachers, and teammates in the Jane Neuhoff Athletic Center. Coach Kelly Wilmoth wore maroon to the festive event, but the color choice wasn’t just honoring her former school, Texas A&M. “The maroon works with Boston College and A&M, and a little red with Rhodes,” Wilmoth said. Said Hajdu: “Coach Wilmoth

has been talking about A&M’s fitness test, and all their traditions. Ursuline soccer, we have thousands of traditions, so I’m excited to learn about theirs. Texas A&M is a family. I wouldn’t want to be at any other school.” Lund signed to Boston College as a goalkeeper. Her best friend, Jana Jeffrey, is a current player and Ursuline alumna. “I’m really excited,” said the 6-foot Lund, who has played this season as a midfielder. “I started playing goalie my freshman year. I like making the big saves.” Ursuline is vying for its 25th straight TAPPS state title this spring, and Hajdu, Lund, and Neil already have won eight state titles

Crazed Fans Don’t Faze Former ESD Guard in Wichita By Todd Jorgenson

People Newspapers Corey Henderson Jr. had never before taken the court in front of so many fans. He was nervous, and had so much to prove. That was at his first practice for Wichita State in October, a public event that drew more than 10,000 of the team’s passionate fans in a city where college basketball is the biggest event in town. Since then, the butterflies have subsided somewhat, as the former ESD standout has settled into his backup role for one of the top teams in the country. “I’ve never played in front of that many people. I had goosebumps at first, but once you get out there, you try to forget about it,” Henderson said. “The fans are committed and excited about what we’re doing. Every game there’s a line of students waiting to get in, trying to get seats hours before the game starts.” That type of atmosphere was part of what drew Henderson to Wichita State after playing for his father at ESD, where he averaged 14 points and eight assists per game as a senior. The Shockers emerged as a national powerhouse two years ago when they advanced to the Final Four. Last season, Wichita State won their first 35 games and was the top-ranked team entering the NCAA tournament. A return trip to March Madness is almost assured this year, as the Shockers have again been nationally ranked all season and are contending for the Missouri Valley Conference title. “Since I was little, watching guys play in the tournament and the atmosphere, hopeful-

ly I’ll get the chance to get out there and play,” Henderson said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to go pretty deep and win it all.” Henderson has played limited minutes in almost every game this season for WSU, scoring a career-high eight points in a lopsided win over Missouri State on Feb. 7. Still, he looks at his freshman season as a valuable learning experience behind Fred VanVleet, the team’s junior All-American at point guard. “It’s fun learning from guys who have been 35-0 and been to the Final Four. It’s been a great

experience watching those guys in practice and in the games,” Henderson said. “I’m trying to mimic the things that they do.” Henderson hopes to eventually not only carry the torch for the Shockers, but to follow in the footsteps of Phil Pressey, another former point guard at ESD who now plays for the Boston Celtics and frequently texts words of encouragement. “He came back for a few weeks during the summer,” Henderson said of Pressey. “We were in the gym working out and playing pick-up games. He would just tell me little things

that he was doing.” Although it’s about a sixhour drive from his hometown, Henderson said he’s enjoying life on and off the court in Wichita, Kan. “It’s different,” he said. “It’s a lot smaller than Dallas. There’s not too many distractions. Our dorms are right next to the gym. It’s a little colder, but it’s fun.”

COMMUNITY Temblors Put SMU Seismologists in Spotlight Cities rely on experts since 2008 By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Earthquakes across North Texas had residents all shaken up in January, but city officials from Dallas and Irving knew just who to call: the SMU seismology team. SMU’s seismology team, part of the Roy M. Huffington Heather Department of DeShon Earth Sciences, is made up of four leading faculty members and an assortment of other experts, including Brian Stump and Heather DeShon. SMU’s relationship to area municipalities in this way is not new — the department also looked into a slew of quakes in the Azle area in 2008, so it has been monitoring the region with seismographs ever since. But the activity in the last few months has caused the staff to rev up its efforts. “We have a history of putting seismograph stations out to monitor and perform studies with graduate students. Basically prior to Christmas, we noticed increases in Irving at a 2.5 level,” DeShon said. “We started talking

C O U R T E SY O F S M U

Monitor team installation members Mason Macphail and Chris Cain deploy seismographs in early January. about putting more stations out to see what’s happening.” In late November, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake hit Irving. SMU deployed one extra seismograph then, before the city asked for more installations. Finally on Jan. 4, two earthquakes were enough to pique almost everyone’s curiosity. “We already were working with emergency managers to monitor the site around the city of Irving, but everything kicked into high gear when that 3.5 happened, followed hours later by a 3.6,” she said. In total, SMU will maintain 11

stations from this point continuously. But in addition to that, the quakes necessitated a total of 20 seismographic stations throughout the area. Many of those were temporary and equipped to log information for 10 days. “It did help us get the initial 10 days of aftershock,” DeShon said. “It’s incredibly valuable information.” SMU’s experts have been working in their particular areas of knowledge to analyze all the data and prepare a report for Dallas and Irving officials to review. On Feb. 6, Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings met with media to dis-

cuss SMU’s released report. “I want to say thank you to SMU. Their job is research and teaching of students, and their ability to move this quickly was a great thing,” Rawlings said. “There’s a question of what should these two cities have on an ongoing basis. Dr. Stump is one of the premier seismologists in the country and has a great reputation, so it’s fortunate to have that resource.” Normally, SMU’s team would prepare a peer-reviewed study — a process that takes longer time. The report requested by the municipalities was considered “pre-

liminary,” in that it was released prior to going through the full, peer-review process. “We had to issue a document pretty quickly after putting stations out,” DeShon said. “We will continue to monitor the situation. So scientifically, we just scratched the surface. Regardless of what transpires with what the cities ask us to do, we’ll just move forward like we have with every other sequence.” Though the study was not yet able to pinpoint an exact cause for the quakes nor “causative fault” — despite rumors of oil and gas interference — DeShon expects the findings to go through a proper peer-review assessment. “As the faculty at SMU, we live in Dallas. Most of us actually live in the city, so we want to help our community understand what’s going on,” DeShon said. “That’s one of our driving motivators.”

Construction Gets Rolling on Pickens Hospice Center By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Dallas is the largest city in the country without a stand-alone hospice center. But by 2016, that will change. The Faith Presbyterian Hospice T. Boone Pickens Hospice and Palliative Care Center is under construction at Merit Drive and Churchill Way. The first phase of funding is complete — at a cool $38.6 million — including an initial $18.4 million donation from the T. Boone Pickens Foundation. For many of those highly involved in the project, hospice has personal meaning. “I had three family members

in hospice at the same time,” said Cindy Douglas, vice president of hospice and palliative care at Presbyterian Communities and Services. “I realized really quickly the resources that were void in Dallas.” Godwin Dixon, president and CEO of Presbyterian Communities and Services, also had a personal connection. “When my own mother died of cancer in 2003, Faith [Presbyterian Hospice] didn’t exist,” he said. “We had heard about all these great nonprofit hospices in the country that were doing things for patients, but didn’t have one in Dallas, so we decided to do something about it.” Now that the construction

of the center is funded, the next steps are startup costs — estimated at $4.6 million — and endowments, which amount to about $12 million. “We still have a lot of very meaningful naming opportunities for the center for those willing to support us,” Dixon said. Specifically, the campus is broken up into different segments: there’s the Simmons Center of Excellence, which houses 36 beds for patients with acute symptoms, and there’s the Hamon Education and Resource Center where medical interns and family members alike will learn about end-of-life care for loved ones and patients. There will be an amphitheater for programming, along with a

The first phase of construction is underway for the T. Boone Pickens Hospice and Palliative Care Center in Preston Hollow. spiritual care center, and a child and family bereavement center. The campus will also house offices, a library, and a large pond with multiple walkways. “It sets the tone to be relaxing

and inviting for family to come together and have a positive experience,” Douglas said. “It’s not the dying person that will have that memory, but the ones that live on.”

Funding Keeps Dog Park Pitch on Leash By Sarah Bennett

People Newspapers Dog parks may be the chic new thing in trendy pockets of Dallas, but not too many can be found in Preston Hollow. City Council members Lee Kleinman and Jennifer Gates would like to change that — if they can get the money. Kleinman, who sat on the city’s park board for five years before taking his seat at the horseshoe, first thought of the idea. “We always struggled with the lack of green space in North Dallas,” he said. “I have always looked for opportunities to provide green space for our residents.” He credits working on the Northaven Trail — part of which used to be an Oncor easement — as opening his eyes to new possibilities. “That made me realize any open space can become a park,” he said. So where do you put a dog park in Preston Hollow? Kleinman and Gates have their eyes on a plot of land at Forest Lane and Nuestra Drive. The roughly three-acre site used to be home to the Korean Young Nak Presbyterian Church, but the city purchased the land in 2011 and leveled the property. The city intends to rebuild the Preston Royal Library at the site, but not until funding is secured, which won’t happen until at least a 2017 bond package.

C O U R T E SY O F T H E D A L L A S C I T Y C O U N C I L

“I figured, in the meantime let’s make use of the space,” Kleinman said. Technically, the site falls under Gates’ district, so she was quick to jump on board as well. “Most people seem to be supportive,” she said. “The challenging part is the money.” The city doesn’t have any funds allocated or available for such a project, so Kleinman and Gates are eager to find commercial or private funding opportunities. They’re even open to the idea of commercial partnerships with pet-industry companies.

“We don’t have any real leads on it,” Gates said. “No one’s come forward yet.” Gates said the site itself is in decent shape for a repurposing. There are concrete areas for dog runs and plenty of green space for pets and owners to roam. The estimated cost to transform it completely sits at around $230,000 when you take elements such as signage, drinking fountains, turf, and fencing into consideration. And of course, the project is only considered temporary, until the library

rebuild takes more shape. “There are lots of dog owners in North Dallas,” Kleinman said. “They want opportunities for their pets to play with others. Comments like ‘how soon’ are common.” Kleinman and Gates would like to see community meetings and an advocacy group develop if the project is able to move forward with funds. “Depending on the success, it could give us an idea of interest for a permanent dog park after the library,” Gates said. “It’d be really exciting if it was a for-sure thing.”

Stuth-Wade left school before graduating, but returned to Jesuit after deciding to become a priest. Eventually, he realized he was not destined for the priesthood and focused his efforts on his art. “We have this sense of wanting to know the reasons ... and then at some point you have an awareness that there’s nothing,” he said. His paintings are represented in collections at Jesuit, Dallas Country Club, Brookhaven Country Club, and Mary Kay Cosmetics, to name a few. Stuth-Wade still creates large pastels and oil slicks and explores different mediums and techniques, including a translucent airplane fabric that allows him to work from both sides. It’s “symbolically very interesting,” he said. “That’s the beauty of art. It’s like being a kid.”

Special Contributor Painter Bob Stuth-Wade recently completed “Knocking From the Inside,” his ninth solo exhibition at Valley House Gallery & Sculpture Garden in North Dallas. The Jesuit graduate — who lives in Dublin, Texas — is perhaps best known for his paintings of the Big Bend area. “It is Bob’s emotional immersion in the landscape that permits him to paint these rugged, yet jewel-like vistas with a compelling sureness of touch,” said Eleanor Jones Harvey, chief curator at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. Stuth-Wade was only 17 when he had his first exhibit at the Fairmount Gallery on Sherry Lane in 1971.

Don’t Fear the Reaper

arch is a peculiar month. It has tornadoes but also the emergence of the first shoots of bulbs and leaves. It’s the solemnity of Lent but also the carnival atmosphere of spring break. It’s spring cleaning, a time when we can no longer avoid that dreaded tax workbook we find under that pile of clutter on the desk. Glumly we are reminded that nobody escapes death or taxes. For the Baby Boomers, that first part, death, is in the news. At least that is what Harvard physician Dr. Atul Gawande in his best-seller Being Mortal explores in a concise summation of “the medicalization” of death. More than 20 years ago, my father was totally incapacitated after several health incidents by a massive stroke. He had specific written instructions not to resuscitate after such an event, yet my brother the M.D. hopped on a plane to Atlanta and strode into his hospital room where he was making a horrible rattle on a ventilator and pulled the plug out to a horrified staff. “Sue me,” he challenged. When he confronted my uncharacteristically mute mother and attorney brother about why they had allowed this, they sat like the proverbial deer in the headlights. Doctors are trained only to prolong life, and in our “managed care system” that means the wishes of the dying are not necessarily heeded. It can mean unnecessary, extremely expensive procedures that are bankrupting our healthcare system and not improving longevity or quality of life. What are those dying wishes? People want to curtail suffering while retaining their mental functioning, not be a burden on their family, strengthen family ties, remember their lives with some sense of completion, and

LEN BOURLAND leave a legacy to loved ones. Today, few people want to end up dying on a ventilator, with tubes, in a noisy impersonal hospital with no one respecting his or her wishes. Yet this is increasingly exactly what happens, even if people have expressed otherwise. Once a person enters an institution, he or she is in real jeopardy of losing the one thing people value above all else: free will.

"MO ST PE O P L E WOUL D R AT H E R TA L K A B O UT T H E IR SE X L IVE S O R CL E AN TO IL ETS B EFORE H AV ING ‘ THE TAL K ’ A B O UT THEIR L IV E S ENDING." There’s hospice or palliative care, but “99 percent of those facing hospice understand they are dying but 100 percent hope they are not.” In a brilliant treatise, Dr. Gawande explains how to direct end-of-life care and extend quality of life, which need not diminish quantity. He has four questions that must be gently posed to the elderly frail, the terminally ill, and those who face life-threatening and possibly debilitating surgery.

WORSHIP SERVICES Do you want to be resuscitated if your heart stops? Do you want aggressive treatments like intubation and a ventilator? Do you want antibiotics (pneumonia has often been called the “old person’s friend”)? Do you want to be fed intravenously once you can no longer eat on your own? The yardstick when his physically active father — also an M.D. — was faced with the prospect of life in a wheelchair with diminished capacity if he decided to go into a dangerous surgery surprised him: “As long as I can watch football and eat chocolate ice cream.” His father hated football, but this image enabled his family to figure out how to proceed with various end-of-life procedures. Most people would rather talk about their sex lives or clean toilets before having “the talk” about their lives or those of loved ones ending. Yes I have a will, but not an end-oflife plan for dying. It’s the least I can do for my children. So I closed the book, went to church, and got the funeral workbook. It’s much more than the hymns, scripture, and burial-versus-cremation scenario. There are pages for important names and phone numbers for attorney, CPA, executor, banker, doctors, relatives and friends. There are places to find passwords, keys, codes, and documents. There’s a place to write your own obituary. Obviously you can do this without a church workbook. I wrote down Gawande’s four questions, and my response to all four is no, if brain damaged. It’s now in my computer where I’m informed I should update it every year. Like when I do that other inevitable sobering task: taxes. Len Bourland can be reached at len@lenbourland.com.
