SUPER VOLUNTEERS TURNING TWELVE HILLS NATIVE
Story by RACHEL STONE | Photography by OWEN JONES
the snake was minding its business.
It struck Annemarie Bristow so hard in the thigh that she stumbled, and she thought for a second that her friend had sneaked up on her while she was collecting Texas native plants on undeveloped land near Mountain Creek Lake, just west of Oak Cliff.
But it was a western diamondback rattlesnake striking her from a pile of logs about 6 feet away, and she was alone.
“The snake was not at fault, and I was not at fault,” she says.
Bristow is a master naturalist who puts in hundreds of hours a year, along with eight or nine other dedicated volunteers, in an ongoing quest to turn Twelve Hills Nature Center into a native prairie habitat. That work brings them to undeveloped lots in Oak Cliff and all over the region scavenging for plants, especially native grasses that can be hard or impossible to find for sale in nurseries. With permission from the landowner, Bristow once worked with earthmovers directly behind her, saving as much liatris, a flower commonly known as “blazing star,” as possible.
“They were all making fun of me, and I was just a-hoeing,” she says. “But I got all of the liatris.” She’s attended City Council hearings just to meet developers and ask for permission to scavenge land where real-estate projects are planned.
“Once they know, then they will call you when they see plants,” she says.
Becoming a master naturalist requires 40 hours of combined classroom and field instruction, followed by 40 hours of volunteer service and eight hours of advanced training.
That’s how Bristow knew what to do for a snakebite. In master naturalist Roger Sanderson’s class, she’d learned that she had about “two-and-a-half, three hours” to get help, plus a few other tips: To not use a tourniquet. To squeeze the bitten area to remove as much venom as possible (a snakebite doesn’t bleed, and it doesn’t hurt, she says). And to keep it below your heart.
She walked down the hill back to her car and drove to Dallas Baptist University, where someone called an ambulance.
After two doses of antivenom at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, “I died,” she says.
In the moment, she thought being bitten by a snake was not the worst way to go.
But more antivenom was flown to Parkland Hospital, and Bristow was taken there and given a total of 28 vials, which saved her life.
Each vial costs about $3,000, and it has terrible side effects.
“I figure the side effects are better than the alternative, death,” she says.
Fellow volunteer Don Pierson says Bristow was back at “work,” at Twelve Hills, a couple of weeks later.
Texas master naturalist rules prohibit them from organizing workdays during the pandemic, but the Twelve Hills crew typically winds up there together on Sunday mornings on their own.
They don’t talk about politics, and they don’t have to go to the gym because hard labor in the nature center is all the workout they need.
Here are a few of the projects that volunteers including Bristow, Pearson, John Wilt and Marcie Haley have established since 2015.
Removal of Johnson grass
Keeping this invasive grass is an ongoing struggle, “a full-time job,” Bristow says. But they pickaxed it in the front of the nature preserve and have managed to keep a handle on it.
Removal of King Ranch bluestem grass, known as “K.R.”
Pearson recently tilled up a few thousand square feet of this dominating grass. It’s pretty but lacks nutritional value for insects, which can mean a loss in diversity of the rodents and birds that eat them. Volunteers are planting side oats gramma and Texas bluegrass instead. Chinese Pistache removal
These ornamental trees are still sold in nurseries, but don’t provide nutrition for birds. They drop thousands of seeds every year and reproduce prolifically. Creating tree tunnels
John Wilt is the volunteer to thank for those enchanting tree tunnels at Twelve Hills. He cleared out all of the brush and poison ivy that was around the trees and placed benches and stumps beneath them. Each of the two took him an entire summer, and there are a few more to do. The group is working on another one this year. Planting in the caliche area
The nature center’s hilltop presented an opportunity to showcase plants that thrive in rocky areas. Bristow was driving on Westmoreland Road one day when she noticed that the City of Dallas had piled up a bunch of rocks on undeveloped land. She stopped to take a look and found the roots of 32 western white honeysuckle plants, Texas natives that you can’t buy in a nursery. They’re now thriving at Twelve Hills.
Creating a bluebonnet area

The failure of empathy
All religions cite their scriptures as authoritative for their engagement with the world. But how? It’s easier said than done.
Abraham Lincoln said during his second inaugural address about those with Union and Confederate sympathies: “Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. How could that be?”
We find the same challenge today among those who read the same Bible with respect to cultural and political challenges. One group reads the Bible to defend law and order, while the other sees it as inspiration for perpetual change. The former sees faith as a stabilizing force to protect longstanding values, the latter as impetus for liberation from all forms of discrimination.
On any given Sabbath, preachers will hold forth on texts common to everyone in their pews, and yet, they will find different lessons to apply. The faithful struggle to know how to read the Bible when even the faith professionals differ on how to interpret it.
Truth is, both are wrong when they read scripture in a way that only conforms to one approach. The Bible is the record of dramatic deliverance of captives, with a bias toward the vulnerable, and a radical assertion of human dignity and equality. It is also a book of blessing, with a vision of quotidian grace and a collection of wisdom for everyday living. It’s about freedom and discipline, salvation and virtue.
In her book, Who Stole My Bible, the Rev. Jennifer Butler says that “God charges us to have historical empathy.” That is, we should read the Bible with a view of divine sympathy for those “at the bottom of the power pyramid — the slaves, the strangers, the immigrants, the poor, the widows.” This, she says, “frees us from the deception of inevitability, the naïve idea that humanity is always progressing. Instead, Scripture teaches us to be vigilant so we can help advance God’s vision for humanity.”
At the same time, the Bible provides guidance for those in positions of power, privilege and prosperity. They are to use their influence selflessly and resources generously to serve the common good and to create conditions for human flourishing. Wealth and social capital are not themselves condemned, but the use of them to game justice and opportunity in their favor while denying it to others is judged harshly.
At the root of problems that beset faith communities today, including the ways we participate in the public square and advocate for social and economic policy, is the failure of empathy, as Butler puts it. But it goes both ways. Demonizing the “other” is ruinous to our communal life and the public good. Whether fueled by envy of those who have much or by denigrating those who have little, if we can’t see ourselves in others, we can’t live together as neighbors or friends. Wouldn’t it be something if we could learn to read the Bible to invoke God’s aid for, instead of against, each other?

Pick ‘n’ mix
Before there was Amazon, there was Sears on Jefferson
Dallas Public Library History and Archives Division
The last remaining Sears store in the Dallas/Fort Worth area — located at Town East Mall in Mesquite — closes in April. The first Sears store in Dallas was in Oak Cliff.
Sears, Roebuck and Co. is nearly 130 years old. It started as a mail-order company in Illinois in 1892, and the Sears headquarters and warehouse for North Texas was built in the early 1900s on Lamar Boulevard in the building now called Southside on Lamar.
The first Sears retail store opened in Chicago in 1925. The first Dallas Sears retail store opened in 1928 at303 W. Jefferson Boulevard on the ground floor of what is now Jefferson Tower.
For almost 50 years, Jefferson Boulevard was synonymous with Sears.The retailer operated at that location for about 20 years before building a three-story department store on Jefferson at Llewellyn in 1948.
It was virtually identical to a store Sears built on Greenville Avenue the same year.
Back then, if Sears didn’t have it, perhaps it didn’t exist. You could buy clothes, shoes, tires, tools, bikes, paint, hardware, lawnmowers, saddles and bridles, live chicks, sewing supplies, toiletries, sporting goods, furniture, wedding dresses, wedding rings, coffee makers and baby stuff. Plus, you could fill a prescription in the drug store and eat lunch at the snack bar.
People who grew up in Oak Cliff in the mid-1900s remember having their photo taken with Santa in the basement and recall the spectacular Christmas windows unveiled dramatically on Dec. 1 every year. We also bought school clothes there, savoredthe nut bar that made the whole store smell of roasted nuts, and stopped by the famous candy counter.
The U-shaped candy counter
featured cabinets full of candy sold by weight, with a cashier stationed inthe middle.
Students at Reagan Elementary walked to the storeafter school just to ride the escalator, the first many in that generation had seen.Sears moved to Red Bird Mall in the mid-1970s, and Rick’s Furniture moved into the building for a few years before it was demolished. Fiesta Mart was built on the site in the late 1990s.
